The raindrops tilted and fell on countless pavilions with yellow tiles and red walls.
The pavilions are like leaves, the roads are like silk, and the entire city is like a huge silkworm pot covered with mulberry leaves.
The moving white carts are filled with countless tiny white silkworms.
In the corner of the city, in a luxurious five-story brown loft.
A gentle woman with bright eyes, wearing a blue dress, is leaning in front of the window lattice.
The hem of her skirt is densely covered with cloud patterns, her waist is narrow and her shoulders are narrow, and her fair jade arms are visible in her long sleeves.
The elegant color of the skirt is like blue and white porcelain, and paired with the woman's complicated hair pulled up high, it shows its clarity mixed with a delicate fragile temperament.
"Xiaoyu, it's getting dark, go back and rest."
There was another person in the gorgeous room, a tall man with a dark red birthmark on his right cheek, wearing the same dark blue embroidered robe, and he softly advised the woman.
"Well, husband... I will be back soon..." The woman looked back and bowed slightly.
"Still thinking about your brother?" The man stepped forward and gently held the woman's waist.
"I sent someone to look for him, but unfortunately I couldn't find him. However, the Taoist certificate you applied for is already in effect. I found out that someone has used it. He should have gone the way you arranged.
In fact, as long as you enter the Taoist Gate, you will be much safer than outside. At least you don’t have to worry about food, clothing, and warmth, so you don’t have to worry too much. Be careful not to damage your health.”
He gently placed his hand on the woman's lower abdomen, as if he was feeling something.
"Even for the sake of our children, you have to take care of yourself."
The woman's eyes showed deep emotion.
Although my husband is ugly and looks a little scary, I really made the right choice at the time.
He really likes himself.
Even if he is a barbarian scholar, the other party doesn't care and includes him in the family.
In the system stipulated by the Great Spirit, the Spirit clan can marry up to four wives, and each one is a head wife with equal status, regardless of high or low.
For his sake, her husband gave up most of his career and inheritance, regardless of family opposition, and finally succeeded in getting her in.
Nowadays, although the two of them are far worse than before, they are still living well.
only....
"Rongfang has had a stubborn temper since he was a child. I'm worried that he won't be able to think about it..." The woman is Zhang Rongfang's sister Zhang Rongyu.
After she left Tianyin County, she followed her husband to Dadu.
She originally thought that her husband just wanted to play with her, but she didn't expect that he really liked her.
Every time he hit himself out of control, he would cry and repent and beg for forgiveness afterwards.
In fact, Zhang Rongyu also knew that if this was not the case, he would not have the chance to get close to the other party.
Except for the occasional mental disorder and irritable mood, her husband was very gentle to her most of the time.
This way she is already very satisfied....
"Master, Madam! Found it, found it!!" Suddenly a chubby little maid rushed in, waving a letter in her hand.
"Baozi, what did you find?!" Zhang Rongyu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked up at the maid.
Baozi was a personal maid assigned to her by her husband, and she ordered her to keep an eye on spending money to find her brother.
Now this shouting, could it be...!?
"Madam, my brother is found. There is a letter from Tianyin County saying that he has been found!!" Baozi exclaimed excitedly.
Wow.
Zhang Rongyu straightened up suddenly, his lips couldn't help trembling, and his eye circles turned red.
"Is he... okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay. This is a letter. Madam's brother has now joined the Qinghe Taoist Palace. Look, this is a letter!" Baozi hurried forward and handed over the letter.
Zhang Rongyu and her husband took the letter and read it carefully together.
The information above is described by the investigators, and it is all general information about Zhang Rongfang.
Before she finished reading, Zhang Rongyu couldn't help but sobbed softly. She wasn't sad, she was too happy.
"Tianyin County and Huaxin County are separated by at least two counties. How did he get there alone?" The husband sighed softly.
"He must have suffered a lot..." Zhang Rongyu leaned weakly in her husband's arms.
"Don't worry...I'm here, as long as someone finds you, it'll be fine."
The man hugged his wife gently, wondering how to help her in the future to make her feel at ease.
With his current position, he cannot do it openly, otherwise it will be harmful to his brother-in-law. Instead, he will be targeted by some people and become a weakness of his.
It's best to send someone to quietly deliver some belongings, and then ask the most trusted person to take care of them. This is the best...
It's just that Huaxin County... is not where he operates... It's easy to send some belongings, but the people he takes care of... have to think carefully about it.

Bang!!!
Zhang Rongfang's arms narrowly missed the edge of the dagger and struck the bandit in the heart.
Seeing that the opponent was caught off guard and his sight was disturbed by the trap, he wanted to punch, but was stiffened by his own blow and fell back.
At this moment, Zhang Rongfang's body instinctively followed Yue Xingfu's follow-up moves, thirty-two moves in a row, like a stream of mercury pouring down the ground. In just ten seconds, they all hit the bandits.
At this moment, why are you worried about being injured and infected, worried about being beaten into a disability, worried about leaving sequelae, worried about yourself, etc... all the worries...
They all vomited blood at each other's mouth and quickly dispersed with their eyes distracted.
The fists and palms interlock and surround each other.
The last formula.
Cranes carry fish.
Zhang Rongfang's palms were shaped like bird's claws, and he struck the bandit's neck bone from behind and lifted it outward.
Click.
The body fell to the ground with a thud.
Zhang Rongfang stood there panting, with blood splattered everywhere on his body.
His mind went blank, but his survival instinct made him quickly search the bandit mountain, then turned around and ran away.
He was afraid that the other party had accomplices.
Only now did he suddenly realize that the person in front of him was at the level he was dealing with. At most, he was an ordinary warrior who had seen blood.
This person's rough blocking, embarrassing dodges, speed and strength are definitely not above the level. That is to say, he is about the same as him. He has practiced some rough martial arts, but his realm is not high, not even at the level of nourishing blood.
The most important thing is that this person's martial arts skills are rough. He probably learned ordinary boxing skills from somewhere. There are too many flaws in his movements and there are many small movements in his shots. He caught the key point and hit it with all his strength.
Thinking of this, Zhang Rongfang somewhat understood what senior brother Zhang Xintai said: the most important thing in winning or losing is martial arts.
Good martial arts, few flaws, great power, and quick attacks.
Poor martial arts, many flaws, low power, and slow attacks.
Many times, a flaw is a fatal point.
After the fight, Zhang Rongfang ran all the way, running hundreds of meters in the forest in one breath, before he remembered that he had to find Xiao Qingying.
And didn’t he just put up the communication tube?
'No, I have to rush back! If a person encounters bandit accomplices, he will be in trouble!'
Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned around and hurried back toward the village.
He walked very carefully, fearing that someone would discover his whereabouts.
The first time he beat someone to death, Zhang Rongfang felt inexplicably frightened.
He was afraid, afraid of being discovered, because he had killed the bandit himself. As a little Taoist priest who had only practiced martial arts for a short time, it was impossible for him to produce the string of extremely skilled Yue-shaped talismans just now.
Likely to be suspected.
He was afraid that if he killed someone, he would be caught and thrown into jail.
I was afraid that someone else would come out from behind that person and cause trouble for him.
What if they assassinate me?
What if they attack me while I'm asleep?
What if they use other methods to poison me?
All kinds of worries were surging in his mind again.
‘No, I can’t expose it, I can’t let people know that I killed that person.
Moreover, my background determines that even if I show my qualifications and strength, it is impossible for me to stand up if I am not at the second level.
Instead of doing this, it is better to hide your strength first and wait until you reach the second rank, and then see if you can go to the Jixian Academy of the imperial court for the assessment.'
Jixianyuan is a special religious jurisdiction established by the Great Spirit to govern Taoism in the world.
As long as they can pass the second-grade assessment, even barbarians can obtain a temporary rank.
Even if he is just a casual employee with no actual position power, it is enough for him to be separated from Xiao Qingying and live alone.
After walking slowly in the forest for a while, Zhang Rongfang gradually calmed down a little.
Although he still has a lot of worries and fears, he is much calmer than at the beginning.
Everyone has been killed. Now that everything has happened, we can only think about how to deal with it in the future.
besides....
"Xiao Qingying..." Zhang Rong felt a headache when he thought of this guy.
I don't know where this guy went with Chen Wuyou again.
As he quietly hurried back to the vicinity of the village, Zhang Rongfang happened to meet Yang Xuanchao and others who came to support him.
He didn't hide anything. He told the specific things one by one. Except that he killed one person, he had nothing to hide.
After hearing that Xiao Qingying and Chen Wuyou were missing, Yang Xuanchao's expression changed slightly and he quickly dispersed to search around.
He received the money and was ready to cooperate with the other party, but what happened now? The target is still alive and well, but the others are...
"Since you have nothing to do, you can search with us." Yang Xuanchao thought for a moment and then directly ordered.
"Yes." Zhang Rongfang was slightly startled, and felt something was wrong from this sentence.
Generally speaking, for someone like him who managed to escape death, the first solution should be to let him rest in a safe place.
But Yang Xuanchao's approach was to ignore his state and let him follow him on patrol again to find people.
It seems....
Zhang Rongfang seemed to understand somewhat.
This time someone really broke up with me and I wanted to target him.
'Did you offend someone during the last outing?'
He was thinking while following the team searching around.
As for the officers and soldiers being able to move around, the only person who might be offended was Chen Wuyou.
Soon the group returned to the place where the two bandits died.
Looking at the inhumane corpses on the ground, Yang Xuanchao's eyes twitched slightly, and he looked back at Zhang Rongfang.
One of them was trapped and killed by a trap, and the other one was killed by someone who doesn’t know how.
He squatted down and checked around the edge of the body.
"He was hit in the vital parts with fists and palms and died. There were wounds from animal traps on his face, eyes and nose."
"The rest of the people, use this place as the center and search in all directions." He stood up and ordered.
"yes!"
A group of Great Spirit officers and soldiers dispersed one after another. This group of soldiers was usually lazy, but at the critical moment, they still acted very quickly.
Zhang Rongfang was mixed in among them, and soon he joined the captain Na Mu and Shi who hurriedly arrived.
