The new house is naturally significantly different from the previous layout of the main room. The family's activities are basically in the backyard, and the rest of the door, including the main room, is considered a place for guests. This way, the family will not be there every time. When guests come, avoid going indoors.
Correspondingly, the number of servants in the family has also increased, with six more people inside and outside. This is before Wang Qin gives birth to a child, and when the child is born, more people will probably be needed.
But just when Zhang Yan was busy dealing with the last critical problem of the limb, someone came to the door. The person who came was Zhang Yan's acquaintance, Shen Wujiu. There was also a rickety figure walking with Shen Wujiu. old man.
"Master Shen is not busy in Lianshan City, how can he have time to come to my place?" Zhang Yan was slightly surprised when he saw Shen Wujiu. Logically speaking, Shen Wujiu should be in charge of Lianshan City at this time, and he might even go there. The valley where the Dead Silence Road was blocked by Zhang Yan was dealing with deployment and control matters. It was really unreasonable to appear in Langyuan City.
But when Zhang Yan sensed the aura of the old man in black robe following Shen Wujiu, he guessed something in his mind. The old man had the same mask that he had fought with when he was "attacked" in Yuanding Imperial City. The old man was exactly the same. Even the other party didn't cover up this aspect, which was quite tacit.
It was difficult to ask questions outside the door, so Zhang Yan greeted Shen Wujiu after a few greetings.
"Huh?" But as soon as He Xianghong took his seat in the main room and offered tea to him, he was looked at by Shen Wujiu.
"Mr. Zhang, if I remember correctly, this slave had one arm before, but now it looks like he is healthy? What is his hand?"
"It's fake. Although the slave is despicable, it is also about the Zhang family's reputation, so I spent some effort to install a prosthetic leg for him, and now he can barely use it."
"Prosthetic limbs?!" It's not like Shen Wujiu has never seen prosthetic limbs. Many disabled people in the army sometimes wear wooden prosthetic limbs, but they are all immovable, but the slave just gave him When serving tea, that arm was very alive! Even if the gloves on the palms had not known that the other party's arm was broken beforehand, otherwise the abnormality would not have been noticed. How was it done?
But before Shen Wujiu, who was extremely curious in his heart, could continue to ask questions, the old man sitting next to him coughed softly a few times, reminding Shen Wujiu to talk about business first, so he stopped Shen Wujiu's words and quickly gave Zhang Yan made the recommendation.
"Mr. Zhang, this is the Special Cases Inspector from the palace, Wu Kui, Manager Wu. Our Special Cases Department is run by Manager Wu." Shen Wujiu hurried over from Lianshan City this time. Just to do this, Wu Kui's arrival shocked him.
You must know that Wu Kui is not only the head of the Special Cases Department, but also the emperor's personal eunuch. He usually never leaves the palace, and all matters are passed through his subordinates. Anyway, Shen Wujiu works in the Special Cases Department. After so many years, this is the first time I heard that Wu Kui left the imperial city.
"Mr. Zhang, Wu Kui has taken the liberty of visiting me, and I would like to ask Mr. Haihan. It is true that Mr.'s previous feats in Lianshan City were too amazing and too important, so he had to come over in such a hurry." As soon as Wu Kui spoke, A high-pitched voice unique to eunuchs emerged.
"Haha, Manager Wu is so polite. He came all the way here, and Zhang Yan didn't treat him well. But he feels that he looks very familiar to Manager Wu. He seems to have seen him somewhere before, so naturally he won't get along. If anything happens, Manager Wu can always open up. That's it." Zhang Yan followed Shen Wujiu's words and called Wu Kui "steward" instead of "sir". After all, eunuchs do not have formal official positions and are not on the official roster. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot afford the word "sir" .
He understood that Zhang Yan had recognized him, and Wu Kui had already meant this. An announcement was a necessary prerequisite for serious business. So he smiled and said: "Even what Mr. Zhang said, I think it is consistent with what Mr. Zhang said." They look familiar and seem to have met before, maybe it's fate."
"Hahaha, it is indeed fate."
"Since I have such a rapport with Mr. Wu, let me tell you straight. What I came here to do was the dead road that Mr. Zhang had sealed in the mountains outside Lianshan City. First, I came to bring His Majesty's reward. I would like to thank you for your good deeds. Secondly, I would like to ask you if the method of sealing can only be used in one place, or can it be copied to other places?"
There was no foreshadowing, and Wu Kui also knew that since Zhang Yan had "revealed" his identity to him, he wanted to get straight to the point. Naturally, he would not hide it.
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "I actually told Mr. Shen before that the Dead Silence Road in the direction of Lianshan City cannot be said to be sealed. It is just that some defensive measures have been added. Although the Twelve Tiangang Formation is not weak, it is not No copper or iron wall can be destroyed. Once the force protruding from the Dead Silence Road exceeds the capacity of the formation, or the twelve foundations of the formation are destroyed, then there will be no blockade."
To put it bluntly, the Twelve Heavenly Gang Formation itself is not an extraordinary formation. Zhang Yan really doesn't think he can guard against the big ghost kings in the ghost realm.
Of course, Zhang Yan was already very clear about Nanyuan Kingdom's thoughts at this time. The Dead Silence Road in the direction of Lianshan City was temporarily blocked, and the chain effect of this was definitely immediate. The entire Beijiang County would taste the benefits. This will definitely lead to related conjectures and expectations. Otherwise, how could Wu Kui make this trip himself?
"Mr. Zhang is right. There are no absolutes in the world. It is the first time in human history that the Path of Death can be temporarily blocked. Mr. Zhang's move will definitely leave a name in history and be remembered by future generations. Even those who Anyone who has saved their life because of your husband’s kind deeds deserves to leave you with a blessing of eternal life!”
Although what he said was true, when Wu Kui said this now, he was obviously giving Zhang Yan a thumbs up and laying the necessary groundwork for what he would say next.
"Mr. Zhang, the Nanyuan Kingdom is now in trouble everywhere, and there are monsters raging in the southwest. It can be said that the situation is difficult due to ice and snow. Beijiang County was also like this, but now because of Mr. Zhang's kind deeds, most of the difficulties have been thrown away. So Your Majesty I am very pleasantly surprised, and I hope that Mr. Zhang can use magical means elsewhere to help the Nanyuan Kingdom out of crisis. The whole Nanyuan Kingdom will be grateful! I am willing to repay you for your help in whatever way you want."
Wu Kui mentioned the emperor and used the term "a helping hand", leaving the matter of reward to Zhang Yan himself. It was clear that he hoped that Zhang Yan would open his mouth, and as long as he could help him, everything would be easy.
"Oh? So Manager Wu has mastered all the entrances and exits of the Dead Silence Road in Nanyuan Kingdom?"
