Chen Jin ignored them at all, turned around and reported to Liu Xin after closing the city gate. Zhang Jun jumped and cursed outside the city. After a long time, a soldier came out of the city and shouted: "The hour has come. Without the order of the prefect, no one can open the city gate without authorization. Please also Master Chang Shi to be in the city first. Take a break outside, and it won’t be too late to enter the city tomorrow morning."
Zhang Jun shouted in the city: "This is the saint invited by the prefect. Go and report it quickly. If you miss a major event, you can't afford it."
After waiting for another long time under the city, another soldier appeared above the city and said loudly: "Master prefect, please confess that he has already washed asleep, and I will talk about it tomorrow."
Zhang Jun tossed for a long time, but the city gate just didn't open, he looked back at Zhang Ning. Zhang Ning wore a blue robes and rode a gray-green horse, but the pretty face was changed to the color of iron blue.
Zhang Jun said anxiously to Zhang Ning: "Return to the saint, Master Liu ruled very strictly. As soon as the hour came, the city gate was closed on time, and no one had dared to violate his orders. Why, I'll leave you ten miles away tonight. Let’s take a break at the station for one night."
Zhang Ning "hmph" on his nose and said to the two Taoists who were following: "Let's go back to Julu."
Zhang Jun panicked, and hurriedly stopped and said: "The saint has something to say, please stay. The conditions of the Shili Station are still good, so please ask the saint to be wronged, and then go to the door to apologize for you tomorrow."
In fact, Zhang Ning really didn't dare to go back. She brought the task over this time, so she pretended to fire on Zhang Jun, and then half-pushed and half-situ agreed, and for the time being, she would live in a post ten miles away. Zhang Ning originally wanted to give Liu Xin a disarm. He deliberately came to Hejian when he was close to the gate of the city. He also asked Zhang Jun to inform Liu Xin to go out of the city to meet him early. He wanted to overwhelm Liu Xin with his momentum, but Liu Xin was really real. People shut themselves out of the city, could not help but put away their contempt for Liu Xin, and began to calculate carefully.
Early the next morning, Zhang Ning changed his face and came to the city to wait early. As soon as the door opened, a group of people entered the city and went straight to the Prefect's Mansion. The gate of the city was opened at the time of Mao, which is equivalent to about five o'clock now. When they arrived at the prefectural palace, it was still dark. Zhang Ning didn't wait for Zhang Jun to report, and walked up the steps. Two guards at the mansion stopped her, asked her intent, and said: "It turns out that it was the saint of Taipingdao who came here. My adults had ordered me to wait here long ago. Please come in with me."
Zhang Ning was taken aback. Did Liu Xin come here so early today? Zhang Ning hesitated for a moment, but bit the bullet and came to the hall. In the hall, a tall and handsome young man was sitting on a strange piece of furniture. Zhang Ning knew that this person must be Liu Xin.
Liu Xin didn't seem to see Zhang Ning coming in, still closed his eyes and sat cross-legged. Zhang Ning endured his anger and stepped forward and shouted, "The Saint of Peace is here, where is Liu Xin?"
Liu Xin didn't move his eyelids, but said slowly, "Who is making a noise here? Come, fight with me."
As soon as Liu Xin's voice fell, a big man emerged from behind him. The big man was nearly nine feet long, had a big waist and a round waist, and had a fierce complexion. With a pair of big iron halberds in his hands, he pushed towards Zhang Ning step by step. Every time the big man took a step, the ground in the entire hall seemed to vibrate, and Zhang Ning couldn't breathe under the pressure of a powerful aura, and she couldn't help but take a step back, and another step back.
At this moment, Zhang Jun, who had been staying outside the hall, saw this and walked in and said, "Master Qi, this is the saint of Taipingdao, here is Qi Yu."
Liu Xin slowly opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Ning. She didn't realize her eyes lit up. She was a beautiful girl with big eyes, high nose, slender waist, and a cyan robe. She couldn't hide her slim figure. . Liu Xin looked at her and said, "Which rank is the saint?"
After hearing this, Zhang Ning said grimly: "This girl is not an official."
Liu Xin said in a disdainful manner: "A saint for a while, a girl for a while, and wearing a Taoist gown, then you are a Taoist priest. No matter who you are, you are a citizen. If you are a citizen, if you see the official, what? Not polite?"
Zhang Ning almost jumped into a violent jump, but finally held back, and bowed to Liu Xin, saying, "Poor Dao Zhang Ning has seen an adult."
Liu Xin "snorted" in her nose: "Well. Don't give me a gift, give me a seat."
There was a chair next to him. Zhang Ning hadn't seen it before, so he sat down cautiously with Liu Xin's face.
Liu Xin said to Zhang Jun: "The great mentor you invited turned out to be a woman?"
Zhang Ning didn’t wait for Zhang Jun’s answer, and stood up and said, “Poverty Dao is the daughter of a great and wise teacher. Qi Yu’s matter has been passed on by her father. But if you want to ask for rain, you must be sincere and chance. Both of them are a bit difficult!" She had made up her mind and stopped entanglement with Liu Xin on these details, and directly pointed out the topic.
Liu Xin sneered secretly, knowing that you can't ask for rain, and you want to find these reasons to prevaricate me. When it rains, you ask for it. If it doesn't rain, I'm not sincere. I have a good calculation: "What is sincere? What is chance? Do you have to wait for the dark clouds to start begging for rain?"
Zhang Ning saw Liu Xin speak aggressively. If she had followed her previous temperament, she would have left her sleeves long ago, but this time she came here to find out Liu Xin's truth and truth, and she also has a selfish desire to get close to Xu Huang, look. If there is a chance to take revenge, I can't leave now, so I have to soften my tone and say, "Since the adults sent for the poor people to come, there is no problem if you want to come here sincerely. It's just this opportunity, I need to look around in the river. Find a suitable place for cloth altar practice."
Liu Xin thought to herself, it would be easier for you to say this earlier, so she changed a smile and said: "No problem, I will arrange for the thief Cao Shi Chen Jinchen from this county to accompany the female road chief to walk around."
Zhang Ning rolled his eyes and said: "My lord, I heard that the world has been quite chaotic recently, and horse thieves are often infested. The poor road has nothing to do but begs for rain. If you want to walk around, you can also ask the adults to send soldiers to guard. I’ve never heard of it, until I heard that there was a lieutenant named Xu Minghuang under the commander of Master Jiuwen, who had a high martial arts skill.
Liu Xin couldn't help being vigilant after hearing her words. Up to now, only Xu Huang had killed the horse thief. If the horse thief is really pretending to be a member of the Taiping Dao, and she is now calling for Xu Huang to accompany him, will it be here to seek revenge? So he groaned: "General Xu is busy with official duties, I'm afraid I can't spare time, so please stay in the post house first, and wait for me to discuss with him."
Zhang Ning finally caught the opportunity: "Could it be that an adult, as a county prefect, can't these trivial things be the master?"
Liu Xin was not subject to her aggressive method, haha laughed: "Yes, this official is not so good, but you can't make a statement! Come on, send the female leader to the post."
Zhang Ning didn't understand what Yiyantang meant. Seeing that Liu Xin had already issued an eviction order, he was too embarrassed to stay here without leaving, so he had to retreat angrily.
After Liu Xin waited for Zhang Ning to leave, after thinking about it, he decided to discuss with Ma Yun. Recently, without Liu Xin's tossing, Ma Yun has resumed the habit of getting up early. At this time she had eaten breakfast and was walking in the yard. Hearing Liu Xin said that a female Taoist priest had been invited to beg for rain, Ma Yun couldn't help but reached out and touched Liu Xin's forehead, and said, "Are you ill?"
Liu Xin gently opened her hand and said, "I'm alive and kicking, except that it will be harder at night, what will happen to me."
"Bah, don't be ashamed!" Ma Yun took a sip, and said, "You didn't handle this matter properly. She wants you to greet you, so you go to greet her. Why don't you fight with her? See what tricks she can play. ."
Liu Xin thought for a while. Ma Yun said something reasonable. What is needed most now is stability. It is the right reason to send Zhang Ning away earlier, so he asked: "Will she answer her request?"
Ma Yun said without hesitation: "Promise! Why not agree? You don't believe in General Xu's martial arts? By the way, you said she is Zhang Jiao's daughter, isn't she pretty?"
"It's okay." Liu Xin answered casually. Seeing that Ma Yun looked different, she changed her words, "However, it's definitely not as pretty as my wife!"
Ma Yun was exasperated by the praise, and said falsely: "I think you are duplicity, it's not because you are in love with other girls, right."
Liu Xin looked aggrieved: "How is it possible, my goal is not her."
"Oh, who is your target?" Ma Yun looked at him slyly.
Only then did Liu Xin realize that he seemed to have missed his words, and he hurriedly said: "Just kidding, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously." After speaking, he fled.
Zhang Ning came to the post house. Just after settling down, the postmen came to inform that General Xu Huangxu had arrived. Hearing that the enemy who killed the brother was coming, Zhang Ning's anger immediately rose. A small face went red. She repeatedly warned herself to be calm, took a deep breath, and greeted her.
When Zhang Ning came to the door, he saw a young general standing there vigorously with his helmet and armor. General Zhang saw Zhang Ning come out, and said, "Final General Xu Huang, by the order of the prefect, protect Dao Chang from safety. If the Dao Master has any requirements, I will tell the final general directly."
Zhang Ning came to Hejian as a saint on the Taiping Road, but whether Liu Xin or Xu Huang, they all called her the Daoist chief, and refused to call her a saint. Obviously they doubted her identity. . In fact, Zhang Ning also understands that she is not a saint at all, not even a Taoist priest. If you quarrel with them on this, it is really meaningless to fight with them, so she does not care about Xu Huang: "General Xu came just right, please follow me. Poor Dao comes in. You will tell Poor Dao about the terrain of Hejian for a while, and we will choose a few more places to visit to see where to build the altar."
"The final will be the commander of Daoist." Xu Huang said, then glanced at Zhang Ning, who was flushed, and asked with concern: "Daoist, I think your complexion is wrong. Could it be that you have been on the road for days and suffered the cold? Would you like to find a doctor to check it out?"
Zhang Ning subconsciously touched his cheek, and it was really hot. Only then did he remember that he heard Xu Huang's name rushing up in anger, and the blush on his face didn't even fade away. What makes Zhang Ning strange is that now, this enemy is standing in front of him, but he can't get angry.
