Liu Guanjia was born in the Zhang family's "retainer" family. He and a group of people were trained by the Zhang family as the future old house manager since he was a child. Later, he worked hard to absorb all the things that were available. After obtaining the power of the housekeeper, and then having fierce competition among the housekeepers, he can follow the housekeepers of this generation and be the big housekeeper for decades—and the only person who can be called x housekeeper.
Over the years, Steward Liu has met many people, some very secret information that only the owner knows. As the most trusted confidant of the owner, he also knows a lot. But in Butler Liu's impression, not even the "those people" that the Zhang family was afraid of, none of them had such a terrifying oppressive force as the one who appeared in front of them.
At the moment, Butler Liu's attitude was much more cautious, his eyes narrowed, and he was very respectful and polite to Gongyi Tianheng: "Is this the young master?"
Although he knew that this person came with their eldest young master, as a person, how could he not see that his own eldest young master was also in awe of this person? Naturally, he wouldn't say anything like "the eldest young master's friend".
Zhang Bohan looked at Butler Liu and replied, "Yes, his name is Gongyi Tianheng, and he is my savior. If it wasn't for Mr. Gongyi's help these days, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."
Butler Liu said to Gongyi Tianheng: "So it is, Mr. Gongyi, please come in." He added, "Mr. Zhang's life-saving grace will be remembered by the Zhang family."
Gongyi Tianheng nodded slightly: "Please."
Butler Liu felt a little relieved, but still looked sincere and smiling: "Please come with me, sir."
Next, the matter of welcoming the other clansmen was handed over to the second butler and the third butler. With a very respectful and respectful attitude, Butler Liu kept bringing Gongyi Tianheng and Zhang Bohan into the old house. No matter who he met on the road to look at it, Butler Liu kept his eyes fixed, as if he hadn't seen it.
With the development of the times, the old house of Zhang's family has also changed from a simple style to the current exterior that combines simplicity and fashion, and the interior is extremely luxurious and similar to a large villa.
After entering the door, there is a very spacious hall with several long tables, and everyone, either dressed in fragrant temples or well-dressed, looks very modern.
However, this is only a side hall, and walking inside is the main hall. Here, many comfortable sofas are placed in a proper manner. On the sofa in the middle, a few old people are sitting. Sitting next to them were a lot of men and women who were young men and women, and there were some ladies-like figures walking gracefully, bringing fruit plates or some refreshments.
It seems that the inside and the outside are like two worlds, which is quite warm.
When Zhang Bohan followed Butler Liu in, someone saw his figure and immediately said, "Our eldest young master is back!"
In an instant, the most majestic old man on the main sofa turned his head, and a falcon-like stare suddenly flashed in the old eyes.
Then, the old man beckoned: "Bohan, come to my grandfather."
Zhang Bohan walked over respectfully, and did not forget to introduce the evil star: "Grandpa, this is the grandson's savior, Gongyi Tianheng."
The old man - this generation's family advocate Huiguo has noticed this young man for a long time, and he has also noticed Liu's gesture, and has some thoughts in his heart.
But at this time, he still only nodded towards Gongyi Tianheng: "It turned out to be Bohan's benefactor... Mr. Gongyi, please take a seat."
There was no cover in this short conversation, and everyone present heard it clearly. At the same time, those guys who have their own plans also picked out a few key words.
Savior, Mr. xx.
There's quite a bit of something in there to chew on.
Zhang Bohan has been missing for several days, and some information has leaked out vaguely. Naturally, the Zhang family will not ignore it, and they have explored other methods several times. One of the very reliable news is that Zhang Bohan is dead - I heard that the bodies of his subordinates have been found, I am afraid that Zhang Bohan was killed by Shen Jiang. Of course, there are still some doubts. Who is behind the shots - several people are suspected - is still under investigation, but now that Zhang Bohan has suddenly returned, it makes people feel like a storm is coming.
However, people who have nothing to do with this matter only need to consider whether their own interests will change, and they still sit firmly, while those who start need to panic, because Zhang Bohan will definitely find out the flaws in the next step. , a bloodbath.
Several people are looking at the "savior" vaguely.
I don't know what role this Gongyi Tianheng will play in this scene. Is his so-called benefactor a real benefactor, or does the eldest young master have other plans
But no matter what, Gongyi Tianheng's calmness under many scrutiny, as well as his too outstanding appearance and manner, made them unable to ignore.
Gongyi Tianheng naturally sat on the single sofa that was given up and was very close to Zhang Huiguo. Like him, Zhang Bohan came near Zhang Huiguo.
Zhang Huiguo's expression was a little stern: "Bohan, you need to tell me carefully about your disappearance."
Zhang Bohan said solemnly, "Yes, Grandpa."
Zhang Huiguo nodded slightly, stood up with a cane, and walked steadily towards the second floor step by step: "Follow me to the study." Then he instructed Steward Liu, "Old Liu, take good care of Mr. Gongyi instead of me." Gongyi Tianheng said, "Mr. Gongyi, I'm sorry."
Gongyi Tianheng hooked his lips, and his voice was slightly lower and softer: "It's okay."
The moment he opened his mouth, it seemed that there was some fatal magic that drew everyone's attention to him.
Afterwards, Gongyi Tianheng sat quietly, only occasionally saying a few words to Steward Liu while he complimented him without a trace. But for the rest of the Zhang family, he didn't seem to care at all. Those Zhang family couldn't figure out his details, and after hesitating, no one took the initiative to come forward to talk to him.
After the stalemate seemed to have passed peacefully for half an hour, someone came to Steward Liu's side and whispered a few words to him.
Butler Liu nodded calmly, and then said to Gongyi Tianheng: "Mr. Gongyi, the Patriarch has asked you to go to the study for a chat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Butler Liu met Gongyi Tianheng's unchanging eyes - he seemed to know everything? Or that nothing can shake him? Butler Liu soon waved away those guesses, smiled and led Gongyi Tianheng, who had gotten up, and led him all the way to the door of the study.
Only the many Zhang family members in this hall were left, looking at each other with different thoughts.
Gongyi Tianheng pushed open the door of the study and smelled a faint fragrance of calligraphy and ink. However, he didn't feel the same traces of power in the books in the scent of books, but it was very ordinary, even rigid. There are only a few, the breath that flows out is somewhat agile.
-Because he has already understood the knowledge system of this world, Gongyi Tianheng also understands very well that most of these things that give people a sense of agility are made by hand over time, while those that feel rigid are the so-called printed materials.
Of course it doesn't matter.
Gongyi Tianheng raised his eyes and saw Zhang Huiguo and Zhang Bohan sitting beside the side coffee table. The expressions of both grandparents and grandchildren are a little serious, especially Zhang Bohan, his attitude towards Gongyi Tianheng is even more different - in addition to showing respect, caution and respect have increased a bit.
When Gongyi Tianheng came in, Zhang Huiguo took the initiative to stand up: "Mr. Gongyi, please come and take a seat." Mr. Bohan has helped Bohan several times, and my Zhang family must repay such kindness."
Gongyi Tianheng sat down according to the words and said slowly: "There is nothing to be neglected, Mr. Zhang doesn't need to worry about it. As for the help, it's just a little effort."
The same is talking, but some people even though every word is no different from ordinary people, but the speed and tone of the speech combine to give people a peculiar sense of rhythm, people can't help but listen carefully, after listening , and couldn't help but feel that every word was very reasonable.
Zhang Huiguo paused for a while, his voice was a little old, his attitude was a little hesitant - or he put on some caution: "Mr. Gongyi, I have a question, I don't know if I should ask..." He rubbed his fingers on the tip of the stick. Rubbing, as if a little nervous, "Your identity... is it an ancient martial artist?"
Gongyi Tianheng frowned slightly: "Ancient warrior?"
Zhang Huiguo hesitated even more: "The power you used to save Bohan is very strange. Although I am not talented, I have seen some ancient warriors. They have a kind of internal power and are said to be able to achieve similar effects. I heard Bohan before. Speaking of it, there is such a guess, and I don’t know if it is correct.”
Gongyi Tianheng thought for a moment and replied, "I am indeed a warrior, but I don't know what the ancient warrior you are talking about."
Zhang Huiguo's expression was relaxed, and his smile became more earnest: "So, Gongyi Tianheng must not know the ancient warrior association?"
Gongyi Tianheng shook his head slightly: "I don't know."
Zhang Huiguo did not ask who Gongyi Tianheng learned his skills from, because he knew to some extent that the inheritance of an ancient warrior was secret. Anyway, for him, the important thing is the ancient warrior himself - if he is a member of the ancient warrior association, then if their Zhang family gets along well with him, maybe they can have a relationship with the ancient warrior association, and he is not an ancient warrior. The people from the Martial Artist Association would be even better, they might be able to draw this ancient Martial Artist over.
Therefore, Zhang Huiguo quickly said: "I wonder if Mr. Gongyi has any intention of joining the Ancient Warrior Association? Although my Zhang family is incompetent, if Mr. needs, I can try my best to reach the threshold and recommend Mr.
Gongyi Tianheng said: "I always like to be free, and I have no interest in the Ancient Warrior Association."
Zhang Huiguo was silent for a while, and then he tried again: "Mr. Gongyi, what do you think of our Zhang family... how?"
Gongyi Tianheng smiled slightly.
Everyone is smart. It’s true that Zhang Huiguo is a cunning and cunning man, but when faced with what he thinks of an ancient warrior, he will only mention it euphemistically without making any calculations. One is that even if the result is calculated, the ancient warrior is rebellious, and it may be self-defeating later; secondly, in Zhang Bohan's short narrative, Zhang Huiguo has found that the ancient warrior's temperament is not as good as his performance. He came out so peaceful - not to mention his temperament always makes people think that he has been in the top position for a long time, and his thoughts are meticulous. If he is not careful, he may just be wise and offend people to death.
This is the truth. Gongyi Tianheng has been high above since he was born. Even in Qingyun Sect, he has never been sparred. He has long been accustomed to controlling the overall situation. Although he is very tolerant a lot of the time, it also depends on his mood - it just so happened that he had just received a blow from his little alchemist, and even if he persuaded himself, he made a corresponding decision, but that share The unhappy emotions still lingered in his heart.
Fortunately, Zhang Huiguo made the most correct choice by relying on his intuition to overcome the storms and waves over the years. He let Gongyi Tianheng think twice and said, "I know what you mean, and it's not that you can't cooperate."
The smile on Zhang Huiguo's old face also deepened: "Please give me some advice, sir?"
The two of you come and go, Zhang Bohan has no room to intervene, but the shock in his heart is not a little bit.
He originally thought that Gongyi Tianheng was terrible, but at the same time he felt that after bringing people to meet his grandfather, his grandfather would definitely be able to handle it.
But now when Zhang Bohan really saw the meeting between the two and the conversation between the two, he was surprised to find out that his grandfather's attitude towards Gongyi Tianheng was only more cautious than him... This couldn't help but make his heartstrings taut.
At the same time, he also suddenly understood that his behavior of bringing Gongyi Tianheng to see his grandfather was actually very dangerous - although the situation at the time was that he could not bring it without him, he also considered that the protective power of the old house was strong enough.
Zhang Bohan was immediately frightened and broke into a cold sweat.
Perhaps, it can only be said that his luck this time is not bad... At this moment, he is more alert to the "ancient warrior" mentioned by his grandfather. He wants to know what kind of existence this ancient warrior is, and what kind of organization the ancient warrior association is.
On that end, Zhang Huiguo and Gongyi Tianheng basically had the intention to deepen their relationship.
Gongyi Tianheng's index finger tapped lightly on the armrest, and he seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he said, "As far as I know, the Zhang family has a lot of power." He raised his eyes and saw that Zhang Huiguo didn't have a strange expression before continuing slowly, "Then, if you want to find someone It must be easy to fall."
Zhang Huiguo was still thinking about the reason why this ancient martial artist was willing to associate with ordinary people like them. While he was happy, he was naturally prepared, but when he heard it now, the first thing he brought up was actually looking for people
I don't know what kind of person I'm looking for, and if there is any trouble with that person, but it shouldn't be unusual for an ancient martial artist to take this seriously.
Zhang Huiguo nodded slowly: "The Zhang family can still do some things. If they are looking for someone, they probably have some ability." He paused, "Could it be that Mr. Gongyi is looking for someone?"
Gongyi Tianheng nodded slightly: "Yes, as long as you help me find this person, then I may be able to come up with some things you need—" He met Zhang Huiguo's eyes, "For example, martial arts or something."
Zhang Huiguo's pupils shrank suddenly: "Martial skills—is the kind used by Mr., a special power that belongs only to ancient warriors?"
Gongyi Tianheng smiled: "Probably so."
Zhang Huiguo took a few breaths, his chest heaving slightly.
Ancient warriors are very rare, and the ancient warrior association is also very mysterious, so mysterious that the general public does not know them at all, and families like the Zhang family have only heard of their names and occasionally met a few people in the organization. This is not a non-governmental organization, but a transcendent force that is tacitly approved by the state and is inextricably linked with the state but very independent. It's true that their Zhang family has a history, but they have been very careful from generation to generation. It can be said that they dance on the tip of a knife. If they are not careful, the family will fall. This is all because of their lack of background. Even if they have a lot of relationships, those relationships are not so reliable.
But the Ancient Martial Artist Association is different. They attract very few people, but the Zhang family can know from some sources that the famous and surnamed families in the imperial capital now have some children who are inextricably linked with this association. connect. It can be said that if the children of the family can be absorbed by this association, then the Zhang family will be more easily cleaned up, the foundation will be more solid, and it will not be easily cleaned.
However, the strength of the Zhang family is not enough for the people of the ancient warrior association to take the initiative to recruit their children. If you want to get closer to this association, you can only go to the ancient warriors to practice martial arts by yourself. After teaching excellent juniors, you can find a way to join the association. . However, the ancient warriors are not Chinese cabbage. The Zhang family can't find such a person at all, and even if they find it, the other party may not be willing to teach them seriously. If they don't teach seriously, how can they teach excellent juniors
The appearance of Gongyi Tianheng was undoubtedly the result of a long drought in the Zhang family. He originally thought that since the other party was not from the association, he would draw him in and treat him well, and maybe the other party would let go of teaching. But I didn't expect that the other party would clearly put forward conditions and agree to teach martial arts, so Zhang Huiguo couldn't help but be ecstatic. Then, it is normal to gasp for breath with excitement.
Just need to find someone...
Zhang Huiguo quickly calmed down and returned to his usual scheming appearance, but his hurried tone still revealed his urgency: "Who are you looking for, sir? The Zhang family must do their best!"
Gongyi Tianheng's eyes were deep: "His name is Gu Zuo, he is nineteen years old, he is a teenager."
Zhang Huiguo didn't hear the following, and was stunned: "Only this news?"
Zhang Bohan also understood a lot of things at this time, and suddenly asked: "There must be many people at this age and at this age, Mr. Gongyi, don't you have a photo of this person in your hand?"
Gongyi Tianheng already knew what the photo was, he shook his head slightly: "No."
Zhang Bohan asked again: "You don't know the address where he used to live?"
Gongyi Tianheng shook his head again: "I don't know."
Zhang Hanbo was silent.
But it's not surprising to think about it. If the other party knows everything, there is no need to go to their Zhang family to check. That is, there is less information, so they can be used.
At this time, Zhang Huiguo also began to figure out that the younger generation in the family who were good at networking and electronic information, as well as some descendants who worked in the government, should all be able to contribute. It is to investigate all these people, compare them one by one, and conduct investigations, which may take a little more time...
But at this moment, Gongyi Tianheng spoke again: "Take a set of pen and paper, and I can draw his face."
This requirement is a bit odd.
No photos, can you draw
However, considering that the ancient warriors might have some quirks, Zhang Bohan didn't raise any objection, just got up quickly to find a pen and paper - just before he was about to go, he suddenly thought of something, and asked in a strange way: "What kind of paper do you want, sir? Pen?"
Gongyi Tianheng also remembered the problem of brush and ink in this world, and replied, "Brush and ink are enough."
Zhang Bohan: "..."
Almost went to get the pencil and white paper for sketching.
Fortunately I asked.
It's just that things drawn with a brush are generally similar in spirit but not in shape. Is this really useful
Gongyi Tianheng quickly explained to them what it means to use a brush to draw images that look similar to each other. He moved the brush like a fly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he drew a handsome young man. When Gongyi Tianheng set his eyes on the young man, the young man seemed to be alive, and he was so agile. It's almost like jumping off the drawing paper right away.
Zhang Huiguo couldn't help but admire the painting skills of this ancient warrior.
Zhang Bohan also felt that with this painting, it would be much easier for them to compare and find such a young man as long as they made reasonable use of computer technology.
Gongyi Tianheng put down the brush and said gently, "I believe in the strength of the Zhang family, and I am willing to pay a certain price." , then I will come up with three martial arts. If I find it in two days, it will be two. If it is spent, there will be only one martial arts. Of course, if I can't find it in three days, then I can only doubt the Zhang family. The ability to do things, and then went to another family to help."
Zhang Huiguo took a deep breath, and then said calmly, "The Zhang family will not disappoint Mr. Zhang." He said to Zhang Bohan, "Bohan, leave this to you, if you do it, then you can immediately become the Zhang family's member. Heir, all your peers and even your predecessors will follow your lead." He said word by word, "You must do this well, and the Zhang family's staff can be dispatched by you."
Zhang Bohan's expression condensed: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will do it as soon as possible!"
Gongyi Tianheng's lips curved slightly, as if showing a satisfied smile.
Perhaps there must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Zhang Bohan's ability to handle affairs is good, and the Zhang family's ability is quite strong. It only took a day or so to hear the news.
