The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1763 My eldest brother never wastes food!

Half a month later, in Qinghe County,
Zhang Cheng and his entourage, having completed their task, were leisurely making their way to the yamen (government office).
Seeing Wu Dalang selling sesame cakes, Zhang Cheng waved and said, "Brother Wu!"

"Oh dear, Cheng-ge, you can't accept this!"

Upon seeing Zhang Cheng call his name, Wu Dalang hurriedly stepped forward and repeatedly clasped his hands in greeting.

Hearing Wu Dalang's words, Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "What's the big deal! Give me two sesame seed cakes!"

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng handed him the copper coins in his hand.
"Brother Cheng, since you call me brother, how can I take your money for this sesame cake? Here, take it!"

Wu Dalang also retorted when he refused Zhang Cheng's offer of copper coins.
Just as the two were declining, a cheerful voice came from afar: "Brother!"

"younger brother!"

Turning his head to look, he saw the burly Wu Song had returned.

Looking at the two brothers' unusual height, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but squint.

Since Wu Song was so tall and strong, how could his elder brother Wu Dalang be so short and weak?

This is clearly because he was carrying heavy loads on the street when he was young, which made him look shorter!
"Brother Cheng, it's been a long time. I heard you were escorting prisoners to the border army. Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"

Approaching Zhang Cheng, Wu Song placed a large hand on his shoulder, laughing heartily.

"I didn't encounter any trouble, but the dancers from the Western Regions were quite beautiful!"

Looking at Wu Song with a big smile, Zhang Cheng joked.

"Oh, is that so? Tell me the details!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with surprise, Wu Song couldn't help but become interested. After all, they were all men, how could they not be interested!

Just as Zhang Cheng and Wu Song were chatting, Liu Bantou came out.
"Captain Wu!"

When Liu Ban spoke to Wu Song, he bowed and clasped his hands.
"Squad Leader Liu!"

Returning the greeting, Wu Song looked at Liu Bantou curiously, wondering what was going on.

"Cheng-ge'er, this is your recommendation. You must go to the Six Doors in Bianliang within a month!"

Liu, the foreman, smiled as he handed the item to Zhang Cheng.

"Thank you very much, Foreman Liu!"

Looking at Liu, the squad leader, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.
Just after Liu Bantou left, Wu Song asked in surprise, "Brother, what's going on?"

"The constables in the yamen have a quota for recommending people to join the Six Doors. I asked Chief Liu to help me get it done!"

Looking at Wu Song with delight, Zhang Cheng laughed.
Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wu Song exclaimed in astonishment, "Brother Cheng, are you confused? Working for the Six Doors in this martial world is not only dangerous, but also prone to retaliation!"

"Brother Wu, Qinghe County is too small! I'm still so young. If I don't go out and see the world, I'm afraid I'll be resentful for the rest of my life!"

Looking at Wu Song before him, Zhang Cheng's face was full of seriousness.
Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wu Song hesitated for a moment before saying, "I, Wu Song, have some reputation in the martial arts world. If you encounter danger, just mention my name. If he doesn't recognize me, I'll come to your aid myself!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, Wu Song displayed extreme loyalty and righteousness.
With a broad smile, Zhang Cheng quickly cupped his hands and said, "With Brother Wu saying so, I'm sure even if I enter the Six Doors, everything will go smoothly!"

A few days later, after entrusting the old house to Wu Dalang's family, Zhang Cheng decided to head to Bianliang.
After all, the world is so vast, and the Northern Song Dynasty is so weak. If he doesn't stand up, wouldn't the surrounding vassal states forget who their father is?

However, before heading to Bianliang, Zhang Cheng had one more thing to do: find Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang.

There are many people who run shady businesses, but very few are as ruthless as this couple.

As for why he didn't go looking for Li Kui, that weed, it's because Zhang Cheng didn't know where he was.

Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang could be found at Shizipo!

But just one day before Zhang Cheng was about to depart, Shi Qian returned from Bianliang.

Looking at Shi Qian in front of him, Zhang Cheng asked in surprise, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother, I'm so wronged! I went to Bianliang intending to do some small business and gather information for you, but instead, I was bullied by that bastard Gao Qiu's son and he even stole my money." Shi Qian explained to Zhang Cheng, tears streaming down his face.
Silently looking at Shi Qian, Zhang Cheng crossed his arms and said, "Gao Qiu's son, Gao Yanei, stole your money?"

"Ok!"

Looking intently at Zhang Cheng, Shi Qian nodded quickly.
"Snapped!"

He slapped Shi Qian on the head with his backhand and said, "Speak like a human being! Otherwise, I'll beat you up!"

"I went to 'borrow' silver, but I was caught red-handed by Gao Yanei's men."

With her head bowed in grievance, Shi Qian couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Upon hearing Shi Qian's words, Zhang Cheng slapped him on the head and said, "You piece of trash, why can't you control your hands?"

After being slapped several times by Zhang Cheng, Shi Qian's head was buzzing. He immediately begged for mercy, "Big brother, big brother, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"Useless! You can't even handle a small matter. What use are you to me!"

Zhang Cheng glared at Shi Qian, sensing something was wrong from the start.

After all, even if Gao Yanei was poor, he wouldn't rob Shi Qian. It's more likely that this kid got into trouble and fell into their hands!

"Brother, don't worry. I've found out about the brothels for you! Look, this is the list."

On a piece of paper, many names were clearly marked.
Holding the list meaningfully, Zhang Cheng frowned and said, "Why is Li Shishi ranked so low!"

"Li Shishi? You mean this one? She's new here, but I've heard she's incredibly beautiful and skilled in everything from music and chess to calligraphy and painting. I wrote her name down for you, brother. Do you know her?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, Shi Qian asked,
"We don't know each other now, but we will in the future!"

After stuffing the things into his pocket, Zhang Cheng said, "Alright, go to sleep early. We're going to Bianliang tomorrow!"

"Huh? Going to Bianliang? Brother, you're not going to be a constable anymore?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with surprise, Shi Qian became curious.
"I'm not going to be a damn constable. I'm going to work for the Six Doors and climb my way up to the top."

Pointing his finger to the sky, Zhang Cheng's face was full of domineering arrogance.

"Big brother? You're not going to arrest me, are you?"

Looking blankly at Zhang Cheng, Shi Qian couldn't help but rub his head.

"You piece of trash! You can't even handle Gao Yanei. Catching you is less effective than me writing down Shangguan's birth date and stabbing him with a voodoo doll!"

Looking at Shi Qian with disdain, Zhang Cheng began to complain.

If Zhang Cheng was hoping to get promoted by seizing Shi Qian's position, he might as well pick an ancient tomb and throw in Shangguan's birth chart instead!

Don't ask why he did this; the answer is that he wanted to test how strong Shangguan's birth chart was!

Zhang Cheng: If you become my subordinate, you may not get promoted, but you can make a fortune. But if you become my boss, you'd better have a strong birth chart!

Ding Xiu: Eight stars and eight arrows, died in the line of duty!

Three days later, at Shizipo.
Shi Qian, carrying his pack, walked ahead, followed by Zhang Cheng riding his stubborn donkey.
Don't ask him why he doesn't ride a horse; the answer is he doesn't have enough money to support it.
Looking at the shop not far away, Shi Qian exclaimed in astonishment, "Brother, it's said in the martial arts world that the shop at Shizipo is a black shop!"

"When you're out in the game, what's most important?"

Looking at Shi Qian beside him, Zhang Cheng asked him,
"mix?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with curiosity, Shi Qian's face was full of doubt.

"Come out!"

Looking at Shi Qian with annoyance, Zhang Cheng jumped off his stubborn donkey and said, "I came here to cause trouble, understand?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a sudden realization, Shi Qian smiled and said, "Then, can I wait in line, you shrewish Sun Erniang?"

"Queue? What queue? Big brother never wastes food, here you go!"

With an air of dominance, Zhang Cheng walked towards the shady shop, because compared to Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang, he was the real "shady one"!
