Twilight Boundary Chapter 693

Chapter 693 The Second Master's Resentment

"No, when did Xu Xiangzhu become so familiar with the second master?"

Seeing Mr. Xu's lack of tone, the people next to him were also startled. Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu both looked a little confused.

However, Hu Ma remembered that when the Second Master took a few of them to the Red Lantern Lady's Club, Xu Wensheng, who was still in charge at the time, took care of them because of the two pieces of green Tai Sui. They also understood the reason and gave in. Help me say hello and so on when I return to the village.

The second master is also grateful. The nobles in the city have become our friends and call me brother. How much dignity does this mean? Every time I get something, I want to take a walk around the village.

Of course, when the second master was playing in the village, others just laughed and didn't really believe it. It wasn't until this moment that they saw the noble man dressed freshly and decently, and they ran up to the second master one by one to bow, which opened their eyes. .

"Ouch, ouch..."

The second master also reacted, and he and Mr. Xu Wensheng faced each other, bowed deeply, then crossed his arms and said with a smile: "Is the mountain product that I asked my son to bring to you before?"

"See you, see you. This time I brought good wine to my brother, but I want to have a good talk with you."

Starting from Mr. Xu, the bald old Zhang and others next to him also came forward to bow to each other and talk to each other. It was very lively for a while.

The second master has never shown such a big face since he was a child, and his dark face shone brightly.

It was also when the old patriarch in the village came to his senses and hurriedly invited the guests to rest in the village first, and was busy setting up the banquet, that Master Xu Xiang, who was of course the current Manager Xu, turned around and whispered to Hu Ma. said:

"The rest of us set out in advance. The food-protecting general ordered us not to let me tell you, but he has already prepared gifts and is coming over."

Hu Ma was suddenly a little surprised: "I didn't even give him a note, why is he coming here to join in the fun?"

Manager Xu smiled and said: "He said that for such a big event as a mountain sacrifice, what is important is a celebration and dignity. When he got married, although you didn't catch the wedding, you gave him a gift. Now that you are offering a sacrifice to the mountain, how can he be left behind? "

"Hey, he obviously didn't take the post, but he insisted on saying that the relationship is close. There is no need for these false courtesy, but he still came secretly, and he had to scare you..."

As he said that, he squeezed Hu Ma's palm proudly and said, "This time you have given me enough respect. After your little messenger entered the tent, you were the first to give me a post. How glorious is that?"

"Good guy, Xiao Hongtang went directly to the tent to deliver the notes?"

Hu Ma was shocked, thinking that she would still need to be taught these etiquette in the future, Xiao Hongtang was so lawless, this was...

But since the food-preserving general is coming, let's come. He wants to keep it a secret, so he won't rush to announce it. If he wants to scare himself, then be shocked!

Although the time for offering sacrifices to the mountain had not yet arrived, as these respectable people from the city came down, Dayangzhai suddenly became lively. Banquets were arranged every day, and the scene was beautiful and bustling with people.

Hu Ma understands the truth that people feel refreshed during happy events. Nowadays, the popularity of Dayangzhai is so high that even the evil spirits around it have subsided. At night, the lights are brightly lit, so you can walk freely in the forest.

Of course, this was also the second master's careful consideration, and he went there in advance to burn incense in places where trouble often occurred.

There are many people in the village now. If these evil spirits are ignorant, they need to be talked about.

And as these people watching the ceremony arrived, they discovered that there were far more people than they had initially expected. For example, Hu Ma's post was only sent to three or five people. They were all relatively considerate and were not afraid of trouble them. trip.

However, there were more and more people who got the news, including some who thought they had to come over as a courtesy, and some who wanted to save the face of Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu, the two famous men in the food army.

In addition to the people under the general who protects food, there are also lords from aristocratic families who have gotten news from various places, and merchants and wealthy gentry in the city.

I have to say that these people really understand etiquette.

Of course, the problem is that there are indeed some arrangements in the village that are difficult to arrange. At least, Manager Xu thought carefully and let people set up tents, so settling them in will not be a problem.

Of course, in this bustle, there are some unexpected people.

Along with several young masters and servants who came to congratulate the city after receiving the letter, there was also an old man with a white beard and a silk shirt, who appeared to be strong and strong, and he also led a few people on horseback, wearing tough clothes. The disciples took the sedan chair carried by two people and drove a carriage pulling wine and gifts to the front of the village. He stopped and took a look, with a rather emotional expression on his face.

A disciple next to him looked at the fifty or sixty-year-old disciple and said, "This small village, which doesn't look very strange, can actually produce two generals?"

"I'm afraid the feng shui of the ancestral graves is not good!"

When the old man heard this, he rolled his eyes at him and snorted: "What's wrong with believing in this nonsense?"

"What's wrong with Feng Shui? We never believe in that."

"Do you really think it's a coincidence that two generals came out of this small village due to Feng Shui?"

"Don't believe it. Although this village is not big, there must be some capable people in it. They have learned a lot of skills before they can stand out under the general Baoliang. I have already inquired. This capable person should have the last name Zhou, you should be treated as an elder."

"I'll see you later, but please don't lose your etiquette. Whether we can find a good background for you brothers under the general's tent will depend on our reputation in this world."

Several disciples hurriedly agreed, and then hurriedly entered the village to see the ceremony.

But I saw that at the entrance of Dayangzhai, there were groups of people, including people from the army and officials, crowded together.

The people who came out to greet and keep accounts in this village were talented people carefully selected from several surrounding villages. Although they were already eloquent and some were literate, after all, they had not seen much of the world and were somewhat busy.

They waited here for a long time, but no one came forward to greet them. The disciple swept through the crowd and saw a tough old man wearing a black shirt.

Seeing the people around him greeting him, he thought he was a respectable person in the village, so he said: "Brother, come and pick him up." "This is our master, Mr. Peng Peng, the iron hand of Mingzhou Prefecture, here to watch the ceremony."

The old man who was called hurriedly said with a smile: "Come here, come here, oh, this..."

He was busy accompanying the gifts, and when he raised his head, he saw the white-bearded old man on the chariot of the two people, and his expression suddenly froze.

It was like being struck by lightning. After a long while, he asked tentatively: "Master Peng, is it you?"

The old man with the white beard waited for a long time. He had not yet entered the village to take a sip of tea. His mouth was dry and his tongue was dry. Suddenly he was asked, so he frowned slightly. Looking at the old man in front of him who clearly looked like an old craftsman commonly seen in the village, he smiled slightly. He smiled and said, "You recognize me too?"

"Sorry for my clumsiness..."

"I…"

When the old craftsman heard his promise, his pupils suddenly became confused, and his voice trembled: "Master Peng, it's me..."

"I am Zhou Huai..."

"When I was young, I followed you for eight years in order to learn my skills..."

"Zhou Huai?"

Iron Hand Peng didn't react at all when he heard the name, but gradually he recognized it.

Suddenly his pupils trembled slightly, he straightened up and said in surprise: "Is it you? Zhou Laoer?"

"Why are you here?"

"I…"

The second master looked a little depressed. He tried several times to put a smile on his face, but in the end he couldn't. He only smiled bitterly and said: "I am from this village. You...well, I should call you master when I was young." , just...please go inside!"

As he spoke, he stepped aside and his steps seemed to be in a trance.

Suddenly a hand stretched out from beside him, supported him, and said with a smile: "Second Master, who is this?"

"Yes...it's Master Peng."

The second master raised his head and glanced up, as if his bones had been shaken, and whispered: "The moves you learned were passed down from him."

"Um?"

The person who came over to help the second master was Hu Ma, who was in charge of keeping accounts. He had just noticed that the second master's expression was wrong and hurriedly came over to help him. He had just heard what he said about Master Peng, but he had no impression at all. Neither.

But as soon as I heard the second master talk about the move, I was suddenly startled, and I instantly understood why the second master suddenly became like this when he saw this person.

The second master's tricks were learned when he was young. At that time, he followed a master for seven or eight years and learned only these things.

There is no way, people are unwilling to teach him the truth.

The second master wanted to learn a skill, and even delayed it for a lifetime. He never became a disciple, and it was also because of this man.

His face couldn't help but darken slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at this person.

But I saw the iron-handed Peng, who looked a little embarrassed after recognizing the second master. He had already arrived at the gate of the village, so there was no reason not to go in. However, such an accident put his group in a dilemma, especially the young man. The eyes are obviously evil.

"Don't be troublesome."

But when Hu Ma raised his head and looked over, the second master suddenly tugged on his sleeves and said, "Why don't you invite people in?"

Hu Ma took a long time before he nodded, with a smile on his face, and said: "That's right, then please!"

There are rules in the stockade. For such happy events, beggars cannot be kicked out even if they come to the door, and all kinds of resentment must be tolerated.

In the villages, there have been enemies for many years, and they will laugh away their grudges through happy events.

Of course, Hu Ma knows better that some things cannot be forgotten.

And the iron-handed Peng faced Hu Ma's smile. He couldn't see through his real background, but thought that he was young and probably not very capable. He also heard that the second master said that this child had also learned his own tricks, and he suddenly thought of many things.

He slowly raised his hand, got off the sedan, and walked inside while saying, "Second brother, did you also teach the two commanders of the grain protection army, Liang Zhu?"

Hu Ma took the words and said with a smile: "Those two are my junior brothers, and the second master is our master."

Tie Shou Peng's eyes were twitching, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He ignored Hu Ma's words, but suddenly looked at the second master: "When you returned to the village, you didn't learn skills from others, right?"

The second master shook his head slightly and sighed: "Where can anyone teach me?"

Iron Hand Peng stroked his white beard, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He smiled and said: "That's good, let's go in!"
