Before the city gates closed, Zhang Yuan sent his mother and Xiangxiu to his home in the county town.

He introduced: "Mom, this is my good friend Liu Qiniang."

Liu Qiniang took off her veil and saluted to Zhang's mother gracefully, saying: "Qiniang greets aunt."

Zhang Yuan was slightly stunned.

Because the birthmark that originally occupied more than half of Liu Qiniang's face disappeared.

Although she is still not beautiful, she looks much better than before.

However, after careful observation, Zhang Yuan still saw the traces of disguise on her face.

He suddenly understood.

It is estimated that this sister was afraid of scaring his mother, so she deliberately covered up her birthmark.

When he first met Liu Qiniang, the latter didn't care at all.

This shows that the heart of this Jianghu woman is much more delicate than it looks on the surface.

Zhang's mother was a little at a loss: "Hello, hello."

Zhang Yuan and Liu Qiniang smiled at each other, and the latter said softly: "Auntie, don't worry, I will accompany you to Qianjing and ensure that you will be safe all the way."

Zhang's mother was grateful: "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Yuan introduced Xiangxiu to Liu Qiniang.

Xiangxiu hurriedly bowed and said: "My maid greets me..."

"Call me sister."

Liu Qiniang glanced at Zhang Yuan with a smile, then took Xiangxiu's slender hand, looked her up and down and praised: "What a lovely sister."

Xiangxiu's pretty face flushed and pursed her lips.

I think this sister is very approachable.

After they got to know each other, Zhang Yuan asked Xiangxiu to take his mother to the room to rest.

"Qiniang."

He took out a stack of gold notes from his arms and handed it to Liu Qiniang: "Take this money with you on the road, spend it when you should, don't save it."

As the saying goes, a poor family is rich on the road, not to mention that you have to buy a ticket to go to Yuyang Prefecture to take the treasure ship of Fu Ji Money House.

These three boat tickets are definitely not a small amount!

In addition, the consumption in Qianjing must be much higher than that in the county.

So Zhang Yuan gave Liu Qinniang ten 100-liang gold notes, equivalent to 10,000 liang of silver.

With this money, if he can't get to Qianjing in time, it will be enough for the three of them to live in the empire for a long time.

Liu Qinniang was surprised: "So much money?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "It's nothing."

Now he has a way to make money, and 10,000 liang of silver is really nothing.

In fact, if Zhang Yuan has a channel, he can sell the weapons and armor in the sunken ship.

It is estimated that they can all be sold for tens of thousands of liang!

Liu Qinniang thought about it for a while, but still put it away calmly: "Okay."

Although she made a lot of money as a bounty hunter, the bounty she earned was basically used to find her master and for daily practice. She really didn't have much savings.

Anyway, it was mainly used on Zhang Yuan's mother and his mother, so there was no need to refuse.

Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I will arrange the merchant ship for tomorrow morning and will be back soon."

Zhang Yuan has not been in Linhe Branch for nothing in the past two years. Although he has been obsessed with martial arts training most of the time, he also knows a lot about gang-related affairs.

Linhe has developed waterway transportation, and there are many merchant ships traveling north and south, which has created the prosperity of the county.

He went to the inn where merchants gathered to inquire, and relying on his identity as the incense master of the Whale Gang, he quickly found a merchant ship owner who was going to Yuyang Prefecture tomorrow.

He booked a first-class cabin with the other party.

At the moment, Zhang Yuan does not need to worry about anything, after all, Nanxun has not ordered the conscription.

He just needs to delay until Liu Qiniang and the other two arrive in Yuyang and board the treasure ship of Fu Ji Money House.

Then the sea is wide for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly!

Zhang Yuan returned home and had a long talk with Liu Qiniang again.

The two sides agreed on a way to meet in Qianjing.

And a backup plan.

After all, it is a long journey, and no one knows what accidents will happen.

In this way, no matter if there is a problem on Zhang Yuan's side or Liu Qiniang's side, everyone has to be prepared.

The long night passed quietly.

The next morning, Zhang Yuan brought his mother, Liu Qiniang and Xiangxiu to the dock outside the city.

He sent them to the merchant ship to Yuyang Prefecture smoothly.

At the time of parting, Zhang's mother was in tears and Xiangxiu's eyes were red, full of reluctance.

Zhang Yuan could only harden his heart and turn his head to get off the merchant ship that was about to sail.

"Zhang Yuan."

As a result, Liu Qiniang also followed and stuffed a package into his hand: "Take care!"

After that, the woman of Jianghu turned back to the ship.

Woo~

Accompanied by the loud sound of the horn, the merchant ship with the sails hoisted slowly left the dock.

Zhang Yuan waved to Liu Qiniang standing on the deck.

The latter showed a bright smile and then covered her veil.

Zhang Yuan watched the merchant ship disappear from his sight.

Feeling empty in his heart.

"Zhang Yuan?"

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

Zhang Yuan was shocked, then turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, long time no see!"

The other party was Chen Zhize.

Chen Zhize was the guide for Zhang Yuan to join the Wrathful Whale Gang, and the relationship between the two sides was very good.

They usually visit each other.

But after Zhang Yuan's family moved into the Whale Castle, they had less contact with the Outer Hall Master.

They haven't met recently.

Chen Zhize laughed and stepped forward to pat his shoulder: "Brother, you are very busy recently. I want to find you to drink, but I am afraid that it will delay your practice."

Although it was a teasing tone, there was no mockery, at most a little complaint.

Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way. The war hall has many tasks. If I don't work hard, I won't be able to hang out."

Chen Zhize sighed: "I know."

Like Zhang Yuan, he came from a poor background and had no connections in the Raging Whale Gang. He only relied on his own hard work to reach his current position as the incense master.

Therefore, I know how difficult it is for Zhang Yuan to stand out in the war hall!

"Right."

Chen Zhize asked curiously: "Just now?"

"It's my family."

Zhang Yuan replied calmly: "Yesterday, a cousin came to the house to take my mother to visit her hometown."

Zhang's mother and Xiang Xiu were able to hide it even though they were gone for a day or two.

But after a long time, there must be a reasonable explanation.

The scene when he said goodbye to his mother and Liu Qiniang just now was obviously seen by Chen Zhize.

Just an explanation.

"I see."

Chen Zhize neither doubted nor asked any questions. He smiled and said, "Then go to Qingyuan Tower tonight. I'll treat you to a drink. We won't come back until we're drunk!"

"no problem!"

Zhang Yuan readily agreed: "You treat me, I'll pay for it!"

Chen Zhize laughed: "That's not possible!"

That night, Zhang Yuan and Chen Zhize got drunk in Qingyuan Building.

In the next few days, he stayed in the Whale Castle practicing martial arts without taking a step outside.

Then some neighbors asked about Zhang's mother, and Zhang Yuan always replied that she went to her hometown to visit her relatives.

And it was the fourth day after my mother left.

Zhang Yuan was suddenly called to the inner hall.

Wan Pu, the leader of the inner hall, handed him a piece of letter and said: "Zhang Yuan, this is the recruitment order for the Nanxun helmsman, ordering you to go to the Nanxun helmsman and take up his post!"
