Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 454: No. Scholar Zhang Lou
However, Zhao Zhen and others enjoyed a delicious meal in Gao Hu's mansion, and then they said goodbye to Gao Hu and rode back to Bailiu Village.

After a night's rest, Zhao Zhen came out of Ji Xuan's room, wearing a white cloud-patterned suit made of fire cotton and grippy flying tiger boots.

When he got to the yard, he started to stretch his muscles. He practiced Ba Duan Jin and Wu Xing Quan for a while, then took a stick from the rack and started to practice.

Amid the shouting, Ji Minghan, Ji Mingdan and others also came over after hearing the sound.

Several people were also dressed in tight clothes and were moving around in the yard.

After breakfast, the couple and the five of them were talking in the hall. Ji Qingwan asked, "Husband, do you want to go to your brother's misty world?"

Zhao Zhen said, "I have been there before. The Elm Garden is vast and has long been a place of great significance. Apart from slowly eroding it with the power of water dripping through stone and rope sawing through wood, I have no other way."

As he was speaking, Tian Lei approached and said, "Sir, there is a man outside who calls himself Zhang Ping. He claims to be an old friend of yours and has come from his house in the city. He is also accompanied by a farmer."

Zhao Zhen heard this and said, "I have done business with him before. Please lead him to the front hall and serve him tea. I will change my clothes and come over."

After a while, Zhao Zhen saw Zhang Ping in the front hall. Zhang Ping stood up and bowed, saying, "How are you, sir?"

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Looking at your cheerful face, I think you must have had a great time here. I wonder how you found me here?"

Zhang Ping said, "You are a fair trader. I have a key to the misty world, so I will bring him here to meet you."

The man at the bottom of the group heard this and said, "Sir, I am Gong Rong. I found this mist key when I was collecting firewood in the mountains not long ago. I wanted to exchange it for some money. I heard from the eldest brother of the Zhang family that you are my mist key, so I came here to ask for your advice."

Zhao Zhen took a look at the young man in front of him. He was about twenty years old, with a dark face, a strong body, and a gleam in his eyes from time to time.

Zhao Zhen asked: "Have you brought the key? Have you checked it? What else do you want to change?"

Gong Rong quickly responded, "I brought it, please taste it." As he spoke, Gong Rong handed over a bald brush.

Number One Scholar Zhang Lou (There was a child prodigy in Yuncheng County, who was extremely intelligent and passed the imperial examination at the tender age of 20.)
When Zhao Zhen was looking at the bald brush, Gong Rong continued, "Sir, I've asked someone to appraise it. People in this world say that you can meet literary heroes. The estimated value is three thousand strings of cash. I want to exchange it for two treasures that can enhance its attributes, so that I can never trade it."

Zhao Zhen heard this and said, "This man is just a young scholar, and his estimated value of 3,000 guan is not a small amount. The Misty World of Uncle Thief in Brother Zhang Ping's hands was only worth 4,000 guan, and yours is only the size of a village, so it's probably not worth 3,000 guan."

As he said this, he put the bald brush in his hand on the table.

Gong Rong heard this and stamped his feet and said, "Sir, this price is indeed the price someone in Beishi has offered. But he was only willing to pay gold and silver, and I wanted spiritual objects, so I didn't make the deal."

Zhao Zhen heard this and said, "It's hard to find spiritual objects. Who would be willing to trade for no reason?"

Zhang Ping interrupted and said, "Sir, Brother Gong Rong is now only a little bit short of awakening his strength, and he is very eager for spiritual objects that can enhance his strength. If you have any, the price of this key can naturally be reduced."

"Yes, yes, yes." Gong Rong said quickly.

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and asked, "How much do you want? Compared with a warrior, this literary hero is somewhat inferior. I recruited him just for the future, to see if he can be of use."

"If you have a spiritual object that can increase your strength, this mist key will cost you 2,500 strings of cash." Gong Rong said. Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "For the sake of Brother Zhang, it's settled. I have a spiritual fish that can increase your strength, and I never sell it alone. Since it's a deal, I'll give you 220 strings of cash. In addition, I'll give you 2,280 strings of silver notes. What do you think, brother?"

"I will listen to you, Master. I have no objection."

"Wait a moment." Zhao Zhen stood up and walked to the back.

After a while, a pound of Liangshan silverfish and a stack of silver bills were brought. Zhao Zhen pushed the two items to Gong Rong, tapped them gently, and asked Gong Rong to sign a contract, and the money and goods were settled.

The transaction was completed, and Gong Rong ate the dried Liangshan Silverfish on the spot without hesitation.

Gong Rong clenched his fists and said happily, "Thank you very much, sir. I'll take my leave now."

After seeing them off, Zhao Zhen returned to the main room. Ji Qingwan and the others surrounded him. Ji Xuan asked, "Husband, how is this misty world?"

Zhao Zhen handed the key to the misty world to Ji Qingwan and said, "Zhuangyuan Zhanglou, judging from the name, it seems to be a village."

After reading it, Ji Qingwan said, "Husband, I'm afraid you won't find any useful information from this name."

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "Since he is called the number one scholar, he must be a talented person. To others, it is certainly not worth 2,500 strings of cash. But to me, it is definitely worth it. My fantasy world has no shortage of warriors who can charge into battle, nor does it lack military advisors who can give advice and suggestions. The only thing I lack is this well-read and capable official who can govern the country."

"If not for this, this key to the misty world would have been bought by someone long ago, and I would never have gotten it. After all, scholars cannot serve in Gao State, so they can only use it in the fantasy world."

Ji Xuan said, "Since this is a misty world that recruits scholars, my husband must also bring a few talented scholars with him to deal with it."

"Of course. Once Lu Zhuocheng delivers the tea and the war horses arrive, I will return to the fantasy world. In addition to bringing a team of soldiers, I will also bring two scholars to deal with the situation. If you are interested, you can go with me." Zhao Zhen said.

"However, there is no rush. The New Year's Day is coming soon. I will ask Wan'er and the others to come over and stay up together. After the New Year, we will explore this foggy world."

Ji Qingwan listened and nodded, saying, "It's a good opportunity for us to go to the inner city and look up some books to see if we can find any useful information."

In the next few days, Ji Qingwan and others went to the inner city, leaving Zhao Zhen alone in Bailiu Village. During this time, Lu Zhuocheng bought 1,200 stones of coarse tea, and Sun Guan from Boleji Township also sent a warhorse.

After the settlement was settled, Zhao Zhen returned to the fantasy world with his war horse and coarse tea.

Just as he was settled, before Zhao Zhen could go to the rear quarters, Xuan Zan and Hao Siwen from the Golden Spear Battalion came looking for him.

After greeting, Hao Siwen said, "Sir, [God of Speed] Dai Zong and [Anti-Japanese Officer] Li San have invited [Big Knife] Guan Sheng, and my family has been settled. Brother Guan Sheng has come with his family and is now resting in the city. Would you like to summon him?"

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this: "Please invite Brother Guan Sheng to come to the farm."

As soon as the two men left, Dai Zong and Li San came over and told them about what they had seen and heard along the way to Pudong.
