"What to bet on?"

"I am Tie Zhu's apprentice. I often learn to throw bags from him. If we do this, we will compete in wrestling."

"Wrestling...hahahahaha...well, come on!"

The escort took one look at Zhou Sen's figure, laughed loudly, put down the steel knife in his hand, took off the leather jacket on his upper body, revealing muscles like steel plates, and just stood there, like an iron tower that makes people look up.

The workers were immediately disappointed.

In the East Courtyard, they are all familiar with each other. Although Zhou Sen has some strength, he is definitely not as strong as Tie Zhu. The strength of this dart head is evenly matched with Tie Zhu's, so one can imagine how powerful it is.

Obviously, Zhou Sen cannot be as powerful as the escort master, and in terms of skills, Zhou Sen is far inferior. After all, the escort master has been making a living in the world for a long time. Although he cannot be said to have experienced hundreds of battles, he is still sharp.

Dancing on the stage should not be taken lightly.

No one noticed that the ferocious look on Zhou Sen's face fleetingly disappeared.

The underground escorts dispersed and made room for an open space by the well. The two of them went to the open space.

"How about this, how about we start by grabbing each other with our hands and shouting 'one, two, three' at the same time. Whoever is knocked down and can't get up loses, how about that?"

"good."

The escort leader agreed wholeheartedly and grabbed Zhou Sen. At the same time, Zhou Sen also stretched out his hands.

Just as the two people's hands intertwined, Zhou Sen's body suddenly swooped down and ran into the escort's arms. He opened his hands, grabbed the escort's legs, and actually carried the escort's head.

On the back.

"roar!"

Zhou Sen let out a powerful roar, his bowed body suddenly bounced up, and with a flick of his hands, the dart head like an iron tower flew out in the air.

The speed was so fast that not only did the onlookers not expect Zhou Sen to suddenly make a sneak attack, but also the head of the escort was not alert at all. He was caught off guard and was thrown out by Zhou Sen like a sack.

There was a muffled sound of "Peng".

The heavy body of the dart head hit the moss-covered bluestone bricks along the edge of the well, and along with the sound of falling, a series of heart-stopping sounds of fractures were heard.

Everyone in the entire east courtyard was stunned. Even Tie Zhu, who was sitting on the chair, forgot about the pain and looked dumbfounded.

"ah……"

The bodyguard let out a burst of painful screams, and a group of stunned bodyguards came to their senses. They quickly went over to pick up the bodyguard, but when the bodyguard touched the broken bone, there was another heartbreaking scream.

"You cheated!" an escort shouted loudly.

"Treating another person in his own way, your skills are inferior to others!" Zhou Sen looked at the bodyguard coldly.

"That's right, my skills are inferior to those of others."

"But he said it himself, his skills are inferior to others!"

A group of workers booed and gathered around Zhou Sen with tools in their hands. Lu Axe, holding an axe, stood in front of Zhou Sen menacingly. His Zhushi body looked like a door god.

A group of bodyguards couldn't reason with each other. They were so angry that they vomited blood and all drew their weapons.

"Haha, I haven't been to the East Courtyard in a few years, but it's so lively when I come here."

Just when the swords were at war, a faint voice sounded. This voice was extremely weird. Everyone in the noisy East Courtyard could hear it, just like the bell of dawn.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a tall and thin middle-aged man standing quietly outside, with a pair of deep eyes. Beside him, followed by Zhu Tongzi and a beautiful girl.

"master."

"master."

"..."

The workers in the East Compound all bowed with respect on their faces.

Superpowers!

Looking at the middle-aged man's deep eyes, the faces of the escorts suddenly changed, revealing a look of fear. They had been wandering outside for a long time, so naturally they still had some eyesight, and they immediately saw that this middle-aged man was an extremely cultivated person. High superpower.

The existence between an escort and a person with superpowers is completely different from the same dimension.

"Well, our Shen family is also responsible for this matter. Since it has happened, everyone thinks peace is the most important thing. Cannon, go to the accounting office to advance 50,000 imperial coins. This is not the first time that the tower guard has cooperated with our Shen family. This time You can't let the head guard of the tower suffer." Shen Wan walked to the head guard with a look of concern.

"Yes, sir." Zhu Tongzi hurried to the accounting room.

"Thank you Mr. Wan. This time, it's Ta's fault. I don't want the money." The head guard looked ashamed.

"We have been working together for some years. There are times when teeth and tongues fight. Who is right and who is wrong? Take good care of your injuries. In the future, our Shen family will have more honor guard guards."

"Thank you Wan Ye."

"It's been a hundred days since my bones have been injured. It's better for Tower Guard Chief to stay in Niejiaqiao until his injury is better. Then he can help our Shen family protect their goods in the next year."

"Master Wan, this... this... is not good..."

"The weather is bad now, with wind and snow all over the sky, and the road is muddy. It's better for Tower Guard to rest for a while. We have an inn in Niejiaqiao. You and your brothers will stay here first. I'll ask the doctor to go to the inn later. No need. That’s what the head escort is worried about.”

"Then...thank you Mr. Wan." The escort moved his body, and his face suddenly started to sweat with pain. He thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

After a while, Zhu Tongzi also came and forced 50,000 imperial coins to the head guard of the tower. The head guard took a group of subordinates and went to the Shen family's inn with great gratitude.

A war turned into jade because of Shen Wan's appearance.

For escorts, 50,000 empire coins is not a small amount. Their income from escorting a trip is not even 50,000 empire coins.

Of course, the most important thing is that Shen Wan gave them enough face. After all, Shen Wan is a person with super powers. Killing them is as easy as trampling an ant. Besides, they are not reasonable in this matter.

After a group of escorts left the east courtyard, Shen Wan's eyes fell on Tie Zhu.

"Tie Zhu, you have been coming to our Shen family for seventeen years, right? You go home every year during the Chinese New Year. This time is a blessing in disguise. You can take a long vacation to rest and spend time with your wife and children. Cannon, Tie Zhu's The soup and medicine expenses have been reimbursed, and the salary cannot be underestimated."

"Remember, Master." Zhu Tongzi nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you, sir." Tie Zhu endured the pain with a silly smile on his face.

"You are quite brave!" Shen Wan's eyes finally fell on Zhou Sen.

"Master, I really have no choice. The matter is urgent, so I can only delay the matter until the master comes."

"You knew I would come?" Shen Wan was stunned.

"I knew the master would come before I saw Brother Tong." Zhou Sen looked humble. In fact, Zhou Sen thought that Zhu would come, but he didn't expect that Shen Wan would arrive in person. Of course, Zhou Sen did not I don’t know, but Zhu has already gone to Tianfu to have a wedding banquet.

"Well, that's right. I like what you said, 'No one is allowed to step out of the Shen family without an explanation.' Okay, okay, domineering!" Shen Wan laughed loudly.

"The master is laughing."

"Dapao, give Xiao Zhou three months' wages. Our Shen family always does things with conscience."

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, everyone, don't be idle. Go and do what you have to do. Don't look at me helplessly. The Shen family is very poor now. It's impossible for everyone to get money." Shen Wan waved to everyone.

"Ha ha……"

A group of workers laughed loudly and dispersed.

Shen Wan slowly turned around in the east courtyard with his hands behind his back and left. While Shen Wan was wandering around in the east courtyard, Shen Huimin stuffed something into Zhou Sen's hand while no one was paying attention.

Zhou Sen didn't dare to see what it was in front of others, so he hid it in his arms and watched Shen Wan leave the east courtyard before letting out a long sigh of relief.

For a long time, Zhou Sen thought that Shen Wan was just a person who was obsessed with spiritual cultivation. It was not until today that Zhou Sen realized that Shen Wan was not as simple as he thought. In fact, Shen Wan had a deep understanding of how to win over people's hearts, and he handled things without any sloppiness. , watertight.

In fact, whether a person is capable or not can be seen in the eyes of his subordinates.

The workers in the east courtyard looked at Shen Wan with far more respect than they looked at Zhu.

Shen Wan is the real backbone of the Shen family.

Zhou Sen made an excuse and went back to the room. He took out the thing in his arms and saw that it was a pink paper dragonfly. It was very beautifully made and lifelike, as if it might fly at any time.

Opening the pink paper dragonfly, there is a line of beautiful black characters written on it, as if written with an eyebrow pencil.

"I'll wait for you at Moling tonight."

"Mo Ling."

Zhou Sen muttered something, then crumpled the pink paper dragonfly into a ball and threw it away.

Going to Moling at night would be like committing suicide!

Zhou Sen is naturally not that stupid. From Niejiaqiao to Moling, it is a round trip of nearly a hundred miles. There have been continuous snowstorms recently, and the weather is freezing. The heavy snow that has closed the mountains in Moling must have reached waist level. Going to Moling at this time, It is no different from committing suicide. Of course, the main reason is that Zhou Sen does not want to have anything to do with the eldest daughter of the Shen family. After all, he is just cultivating in the Shen family. Once he regains his strength, he will leave and find a way to return to the five stars. domain.

The East Courtyard was calm again.

Zhou Sen is very free now. The flies have long since disappeared due to the cold weather, so he can't chop them even if he wants to. Apart from occasionally chopping wood and carrying bags, he spends most of his time helping Chef Peng and Chef Lei kill pigs and sheep.

Now, as the New Year is approaching, the Shen family needs to marinate a large amount of meat products. Chef Peng and Chef Lei have become very busy, killing several pigs, cattle, sheep and other large livestock almost every day.

In the back mountain of Shen's family, there is a fish pond covering dozens of acres. Next to the fish pond, a pig farm was built, where dozens of fat pigs were raised and slaughtered all year round.

Of course, the few livestock the Shen family raises themselves are definitely not enough. Most of the livestock are delivered by tenants on a planned monthly basis to offset the farm rent.

In addition to helping the Shen family slaughter livestock, some tenants of the Shen family and nearby residents would occasionally bring large animals to the east courtyard for the chef to help slaughter.

Recently, it’s like Chinese New Year in Dongyuan. Pigs and sheep are slaughtered every day. It’s really hot. Some of the leftovers from slaughtering pigs and sheep, such as intestines, heart and lungs, are stewed in a big pot in the yard, which is steaming hot. , the aroma is overflowing. This is the happiest time for the workers. They gather in a circle, drink from big bowls, and chop large pieces of food.

It was only then that Zhou Sen saw the real skills of Chef Peng and Chef Lei.
