Chapter 157 Farewell
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 Qinnan's face disappeared.

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

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

I suddenly realized.

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

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

This shows that the inner world of this woman is much more delicate than it appears 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, "Aunt, don't worry, I will accompany you to Qianjing and ensure that you are safe all the way."

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

Zhang Yuan also introduced Xiangxiu to Liu Qinnan.

Xiangxiu quickly bowed and said, "My little maid greets you..."

"Call me sister."

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

Xiangxiu's pretty face flushed and she pursed her lips.

I feel like this sister is very approachable.

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

"Qiniang."

He took out a stack of gold notes from his bosom and handed them to Liu Qiniang: "Take this money with you for your journey, spend it where it counts and don't save it."

As the saying goes, a poor family can make a rich journey, let alone going to Yuyang Prefecture to take the treasure ship of Fu Ji Money House, you have to buy a ticket.

These three boat tickets are definitely not a small amount!

In addition, the consumption in Qianjing is definitely much higher than that in the county town.

So Zhang Yuan gave Liu Qinnan ten gold notes of 100 taels, equivalent to 10,000 taels of silver.

With this money, even if he cannot reach Qianjing in time, it will be enough for the three of them to live in the empire for a long time.

Liu Qiniang was surprised: "So much money?"

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

Now that he has a way to make money, ten thousand taels of silver is nothing.

In fact, if Zhang Yuan had the channels, he could salvage the weapons and armor from the sunken ship and sell them.

It is estimated that it can be sold for tens of thousands of taels!

Liu Qiniang thought about it for a moment, then calmly put it away: "Okay."

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

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

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

Zhang Yuan has not spent the past two years in the Linhe branch in vain. Although he has been immersed in martial arts training most of the time, he also knows a lot about gang-related affairs.

Linhe has well-developed waterway transportation, with many merchant ships traveling north and south, making the county prosperous.

He went to the inn where merchants gathered to inquire, and relying on his identity as the leader of the Angry Whale Gang, he quickly found the owner of a merchant ship that was heading to Yuyang Prefecture the next day.

Booked a first-class cabin from the other party.

Zhang Yuan doesn't need to worry about anything at the moment, after all, Nanxun Shangdu has not issued the order for conscription.

He just needed to delay until Liu Qinnan and the other two arrived in Yuyang and boarded the treasure ship of Fu Ji Money House.

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

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

The two sides agreed on a method of meeting in Qianjing.

and backup plans.

After all, the journey is thousands of miles away and no one knows what accidents may occur.

This way, no matter if there are problems 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 Qinnan and Xiangxiu to the dock outside the city.

They were smoothly sent to the merchant ship bound for Yuyang Prefecture.

At the time of parting, Zhang's mother's eyes were filled with tears and Xiangxiu's pretty eyes were red, showing reluctance to let go.

Zhang Yuan had no choice but to harden his heart and turn around and get off the merchant ship that was about to set sail.

"Zhang Yuan."

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

After saying this, the woman turned around and returned to the boat.

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

Zhang Yuan waved to Liu Qiniang who was standing on the deck.

The latter gave a brilliant smile and then covered her face with a veil.

Zhang Yuan watched the merchant ship disappear from his sight.

I feel empty inside.

"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 none other than Chen Zhize.

Chen Zhize was Zhang Yuan's guide to joining the Angry Whale Gang, and the relationship between the two sides is very good.

I walk around sometimes.

However, after Zhang Yuan and his family moved into Whale Castle, they had much less contact with the outer hall incense master.

Haven't seen each other recently.

Chen Zhize laughed, stepped forward and patted his shoulder vigorously: "Brother, you have been very busy recently. I wanted to have a drink with you, but I was afraid that it would delay your practice."

Although it was said in a teasing tone, there was no sarcasm in it, just a complaint at most.

Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "There's nothing I can do. There are many tasks in the war hall. If I don't work hard, I'll have no chance to survive."

Chen Zhize sighed: "I know."

Like Zhang Yuan, he came from a poor family and had no connections in the Angry Whale Gang. He relied on his hard work to get to his current position as the incense master.

Therefore, he knew how difficult it was for Zhang Yuan to make a name for himself in the war hall!
"correct."

Chen Zhize asked curiously: "What happened just now?"

“It’s my family.”

Zhang Yuan answered frankly: "A cousin came to my house yesterday to take my mother to visit her relatives in her hometown."

The secret could be kept secret if Zhang's mother and Xiangxiu left for a day or two.

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

The scene of him seeing off his mother and Liu Qinnan just now was obviously seen by Chen Zhize.

Just a good explanation.

"I see."

Chen Zhize had no doubts and did not ask any more questions. He smiled and said, "Then let's go to Qingyuan Tower tonight. I'll treat you to a good drink. We won't leave until we're drunk!"

"no problem!"

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

Chen Zhize laughed: "That won't work!"

That night, Zhang Yuan accompanied Chen Zhize to get drunk in Qingyuan Tower.

In the next few days, he stayed in the Whale Castle and practiced martial arts without going out.

Then when neighbors asked about Zhang's mother, Zhang Yuan always answered that she had gone to her hometown to visit her relatives.

And it was the fourth day after my mother left.

Zhang Yuan was suddenly summoned to the inner hall.

The head of the inner hall, Wan Pu, handed him a piece of paper and said, "Zhang Yuan, this is the conscription order from the Nanxun helm, ordering you to go to the Nanxun branch helm to take up your post!"
