"It was clearly us who asked the county magistrate for help, and it was clearly the county magistrate who asked you to do something, but why did he end up doing it?"

Zhang Xuezhou did not avoid mentioning Zhenyuan Shenjun when talking to County Magistrate Wenweng.

Zhenyuan Shenjun heard the conversation between the two people carefully.

He looked at the certificate in his hand that was provided by County Magistrate Wen Weng as a representative, and for a moment he felt that Zhang Xuezhou had done nothing. However, Zhang Xuezhou had accomplished some things and even asked the county magistrate to find someone to pay for the work.

This gave Zhenyuan Shenjun an extremely strange and subtle feeling.

He found things a little hard to understand, and a little hard to comprehend the way things were done in the outside world.

Of course, things were not bad. At least Zhang Xuezhou had solved his identity problem.

Although Zhenyuan Shenjun did not care about "chastity", he was very satisfied that he could avoid identity issues in the Han Dynasty society after he had "chastity".

"I did it. I have other things to do when I return to Chang'an City!"

Zhang Xuezhou made a few excuses and then stopped talking in dismay.

He has never been a person who does reliable things. He stayed in the court only for his own sake. He never thought about doing any real work. He had no idea in this regard at all. Zhang Xuezhou felt that County Magistrate Wen Weng was much more reliable than him in doing things.

Based on these experiences, Zhang Xuezhou would subconsciously shirk and reduce his own responsibilities in order to let others do more work.

This is how it was explained, but Zhang Xuezhou couldn't explain it clearly.

This was not just the case with County Magistrate Wen Weng. The same was also true when he was interacting with the God of Zhenyuan in Wantao Garden. Although Zhang Xuezhou seemed to have a heavy responsibility, he actually did not do much.

"Then can we reach Chang'an City tonight?"

Zhenyuan God stepped on the wind and waves, and finally stopped worrying about Zhang Xuezhou's behavior, and turned to look towards the distant northeast.

"As long as the deviation is not too far, we will definitely be able to reach Chang'an City tonight!"

If one does not know the art of flying, one will have to go through thousands of mountains and rivers to get from Chang'an City to Shu County City. The distance is at least 6,000 miles, and there are many mountain roads and rivers that are impassable for carriages and horses.

But with the ability to fly long distances, this natural barrier can be turned into a thoroughfare.

Zhang Xuezhou estimated that the straight-line distance between Shujun City and Chang'an City was about two thousand miles, which was a distance that he could travel quickly in half a day by relying on the Cloud Technique. At this time, the time he spent flying with Zhenyuan Shenjun using the Cloud Technique would not be too long.

"The sun has already set. It's hard for us to find our way at night!"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem!"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the setting sun in the distance and felt that Chang'an City was just around the corner.

He and Rong Tianding once flew over and circled the area near Chang'an City. The closer they flew towards Chang'an City, the stronger the sense of familiarity Zhang Xuezhou felt.

"Look, that's Chang'an City!"

When the last ray of setting sun disappeared and was replaced by the moonlight in the sky, Zhang Xuezhou saw the lights far below.

They could see lights from high in the sky, which clearly meant they had entered a large urban area.

Zhang Xuezhou pointed with his hand, and the two of them quickly descended with the wind.

The familiar city outline came into view, and Zhang Xuezhou finally determined that the route was correct.

Under the guidance of County Magistrate Wen Weng, they did not take the wrong route and even arrived earlier than Zhang Xuezhou expected.

Except for the imperial palace area, Chang'an City's air defense capabilities were almost zero.

But Zhang Xuezhou was not too careless. He still landed along the area where he entered the city in the past and walked the last section of the way.

"I remember that when I went to Kunlun, I still lived in a thatched house. The development of Shujun City has already surprised me. The scale of Chang'an City seems to be even larger?"

Looking at the bluestone path under his feet and the lanterns hanging outside the houses, Zhenyuan Shenjun felt that the development of the outside world seemed to be too fast. Zhenyuan Shenjun was familiar with the era hundreds of years ago. He remembered that candles were rare goods at that time. Almost no one would light them outside the door casually. Even lighting a lamp to go to the toilet at night would be a pity.

In Chang'an City, almost every house here hangs a lantern outside the night. This luxury makes Zhenyuan Shenjun inevitably sigh a little.

In particular, the houses he saw were exquisite, and some of them had two floors, which was something he had rarely seen before.

If Zhang Xuezhou hadn't told him that this was just an ordinary residential area, he would almost have mistakenly thought that he had entered the palace area of ​​a small prince.

"Chang'an City is about four times larger than Shu County City, and is also better developed!"

When flying high in the sky, Zhenyuan Shenjun walked in front, and after landing, Zhang Xuezhou led the way.

He was walking in front at this time, watching the situation in Laoshu Hutong, and also looking at Zhang's house in the distance.

"It smells fishy here. What's that smell? Does the whole city of Chang'an smell like this?"

The closer you get to Zhang's house, the stronger the fishy smell of pork becomes.

After cooking pork for a long time, the residual pig blood, minced meat and other residues will erode the soil. This smell is difficult to eliminate, but becomes stronger over time.

The God of Zhenyuan was obviously very sensitive to smells, and he could smell it even if the Zhang family didn't cook pork at night.

"This is the smell of pork. This smell will appear when you cook too much pork and have difficulty in ventilation. If you continue to cook the meat, the smell will remain. We can smell it even if we are a hundred meters away," Zhang Xuezhou replied casually.

"Saint... Dongfang Shuo, you are truly knowledgeable. I have lived in the Holy Land for a long time and I have no idea about this kind of thing!"

Zhenyuan God nodded repeatedly.

He couldn't help but correct his own terms of address as much as possible to avoid causing trouble for Zhang Xuezhou.

"Zhenyuan Daoist hasn't come down the mountain for a long time. It won't be surprising after seeing it for a while!"

Zhang Xuezhou replied, walked to his door, pushed it, and then knocked.

"Our landlord's surname is Zhang. The Lord Dongfang you are talking about doesn't live here!"

Hearing Rong's polite refusal to leave, Zhang Xuezhou immediately changed his words and called out "Mom", and the door of Zhang's room was quickly opened.

"My son, where have you been these days?"

You Rong knew that Zhang Xuezhou would be away, but she did not expect that Zhang Xuezhou would be away for as long as three months.

Not to mention that officials of the imperial court in Chang'an City cannot take up their posts for three months, even the county magistrate of Chengdu City cannot take up his post for three months. Many official documents will pile up like a mountain, and will also attract complaints from the people.

Zhang Xuezhou became an official in the imperial court in Chang'an City, but he was too casual in his position and ran away right after taking office, which made You Rong feel terrified.

These days, there is an endless stream of people coming to inquire about the news, and many people come to Zhang's house, including some master cultivators.

In the initial period, Rong Tianding was able to shout a few times to make the uninvited guests leave, but later on he shut his mouth and could only let Rong and others politely refuse them.

People coming and going in and out of Zhang's house during the day or at night to investigate, and they indeed found out that Zhang Xuezhou was not there. These things happened several times a day until recently when they calmed down a little.

"It seems that my running away is not such a bad thing!"

Through Rong's narration and Zhang Chong's occasional additions, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the official positions that the new emperor selected for important posts and those for minor posts were indeed quite hot.

If it had not been night, Zhang Xuezhou would have gone to the palace to meet the emperor and ask to resign.

But even so, it will not be too late for Zhang Xuezhou to do this.

As long as he waits until dawn, he will use the promotion of "Jieshi Zhong" to enter the palace, so as to avoid encountering uncontrollable troubles after returning to the real world.
