Tibet.

Chapter 194
At noon, a guest came to Li Ye's yard, Zhang Jun's son Zhang Yan, who came specially to apologize to Li Ye.

An important reason for Zhang Yan's success in Taixue is that his grandfather Zhang Shuo was the leader of the Tang literary circle, and his uncle Zhang Ji is currently the leader of the Tang literary circle. Of course, everyone wants to curry favor with him.

Zhang Yan really didn't want to bow to Li Ye, but he had no choice. His father had already told him that if he didn't bow to Li Ye, their whole family would kneel down and beg for life to Li Linfu.

Li Ye knew that he was coming, so he didn't make it difficult for him, and asked a few friends to entertain him together to give him enough face.

The enthusiasm of Wei Song and the others gave Zhang Yan enough face, his emotions disappeared, he cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Let's go have a drink, I'll set a drink to apologize to Brother Li!"

Everyone came to the best Wuben restaurant in the square. This restaurant is owned by the Yuan family. The price is extremely expensive, but the food and drinks are also the best. There are only two in Chang'an, one each in Pingkangfang and Wubenfang.

At this time, there were very few people in the restaurant, so there was no need to go to the elegant room. The five of them went up to the second floor to find a seat by the window.

"I like their sake best. It's called chalcedony, bartender!"

Zhang Yan waved to the bartender and said with a smile, "Two jugs of chalcedony syrup, 30-year-old altar, don't fool me!"

Others may not be clear about it, but Wei Song was startled. The 30-year-old altar chalcedony pulp is the Yuan family's own wine, and it is rarely sold outside.
The bartender said with a smile: "How dare you deceive Mr. Zhang, I guarantee that the goods are genuine!"

Zhang Yan laughed again: "You can still eat authentic Kuquan sheep here, and the restaurants in Chang'an are the only ones here that are real!"

"Young master is right. My proprietor has a ranch in Tongzhou. It must be real bitter spring sheep, but the price is a bit more expensive."

Zhang Yan didn't care about the price, and said with a smile: "Five more servings of roast lamb, medium servings!"

Even Li Ye knew that a real Kuquan sheep cost [-] guan, and only the rich and powerful could eat it. Five servings of roast mutton cost ten catties of mutton, which was almost a sheep.

Zhang Yan showed his sincerity today.

Li Ye smiled and said, "I appreciate Brother Zhang's sincerity, let's keep it simple!"

"Okay! Let's keep it simple."

Zhang Yan smiled, and ordered more than a dozen good dishes. At this time, the wine was served first, and Wei Song and the three knew that they were rich, so they rushed to pour wine for Li Ye and Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan raised his glass and said with a smile: "In order to eliminate the previous unhappiness, we drank this glass!"

Li Ye also raised his glass and said with a smile: "For Brother Zhang's sincerity, we drank this cup."

The three of Wei Song finally tasted it. It turned out that Zhang Yan came here today to apologize to Li Ye. Could it be because of the Sun Jiliang case?
All three of them guessed the first, but they couldn't think of the second. They thought it was Zhang Yan's treat that caused Li Ye to suffer injustice, so they apologized, but they didn't know that Zhang Yan was the one involved.

Everyone clinked glasses and drank it all. At this time, the roast lamb was also served. It was really tender and juicy, without the smell of mutton at all, and it was extremely delicious.

Li Ye gave a thumbs up and praised: "Good meat!"

Everyone laughed and drank another glass of wine.

It took nearly an hour for this lunch to end. The three of Wei Song still had class in the afternoon, so they walked ahead in a hurry. Zhang Yan and Li Ye walked behind. Zhang Yan said in a low voice: "Thank you, brother, for giving me face today. I thought I would be humiliated today!"

Li Ye patted his arm with a smile and said: "You will soon be the majestic Mr. Xiangguo, who dares to humiliate you?"

Zhang Yan was stunned, "What do you mean, brother, is my father going to be a relative?"

Li Ye nodded, "This matter is quite secretive and must not be disclosed, but your father knows it in his heart."

"My father knows?"

"You can ask your father at night, he should know it well."

Hearing that there was something in Li Ye's words, Zhang Yan wished he could go home and ask his father now.

When Li Ye returned to the dormitory, he saw Zhang Ping sitting in the courtyard, fiddling with an invitation card in his hand.

"How long have you been waiting?" Li Ye apologized.

"After waiting for a while, I even accepted an invitation for you, which was sent by a little Taoist priest."

"What is it?"

Li Ye accepted the invitation curiously. It turned out to be the invitation card for the grand ceremony of Master Mingsong's succession as the master of Xuandu temple. Master Mingsong was the eldest disciple of Feilong.

The time is the morning of the day after tomorrow, and Li Ye happens to have no class, so you can go and have a look.

"Is there any news from you?" Li Ye asked again.

"The plum blossom hand you asked me to check showed up."

Zhang Ping didn't mention it, Li Ye almost forgot, the murderer who killed Hei Mao's family, Li Ye quickly asked, "How did you find out?"

"It's actually very easy. Everyone in the Yang Mansion knows them. There are eight warriors in total. This plum blossom player is called Guo Zhen, and he is their leader. He lives in the west courtyard of the Yang Mansion."

"Black Spear is not reckless!"

"Black Spear said, follow your arrangement."

Li Ye took a fancy to Hei Spear's martial arts and stalwart figure, and he wanted to take him in as a confidant, so he had to avenge him first. Now that the Yang family can't be touched for the time being, at least he can kill his father, wife and children The killer who kills him is this plum blossom hand.

Li Ye thought for a while and said: "Keep watching them, they can't stand their loneliness, they will definitely go out, as long as we go out, we will have a chance."

Zhang Ping said with a smile: "In fact, there is a chance tonight!"

In front of the Hundred Flowers Brothel in Chongrenfang, the bustard led a few gorgeous prostitutes in front of the door to attract customers, Yingyingyanyan, laughing and talking constantly, many passing men were dragged in by the prostitutes with heavy make-up.

At this time, a tall and thin man walked out of the brothel. He was the chief assassin of the Yang family, Guo Zhen. He defected to the Yang family who was recruiting talents.

He won the favor of the Yang family with his superb martial arts and ferocious killings. The Yang family changed his name and surname, rebuilt his household registration, and went ashore with ease.

In the past few years, he has done a lot of things for the Yang family, and he has the ability to be a leader. He was appointed by the Yang family as the head of the killer. Of course, the Yang family is not called a killer, but a deer hunter.

A few days ago, he led a few men to Xianyang to hunt Hei Mao, but unexpectedly killed Hei Mao's wife, children and father, but let Hei Mao run away. When he came back, he was scolded by Yang Hui, and he was really in a bad mood.

As soon as it was dark, Guo Zhen had to rush back to the Yang Mansion, and they had to stay in the Yang Mansion at night to protect the safety of the master of the Yang family.

"Master Guo, are you going back so early?" the old bustard said with a smile on his face.

Guo Zhen said sullenly, "I still have something to do when I go back!"

"By the way, it seems that someone was looking for Mr. Guo just now."

Guo Zhen was taken aback, "Who? Who is looking for me?"

"I!"

An extremely burly man came out from the darkness, holding a horizontal knife, and said coldly, "You should still know me!"

Guo Zhen pulled out the sword at his waist, took a few steps back, and squinted at the opponent, "I was still worried that I couldn't find you, but it was delivered to my door!"

The madam and several prostitutes reacted immediately, screamed in fright, and ran for their lives in a hurry.

Hei Lance roared, and swung his knife to rush forward. He is a brave knight and guard general, he is very good at riding and shooting, and he is also very good at making a big knife. If the speed is not enough, he is really not Guo Zhen's opponent.

Since Guo Zhen is the leader of the assassins, of course it is because of his extremely powerful martial arts. Hei Mao had fought Guo Zhen before, and Hei Mao was no match for him. Just kill him.

This is why Guo Zhen didn't have the confidence to run away. He knew the other party's ability, and he would definitely be able to take the head of Hei Spear today.

Guo Zhen' brush!brush!brush! After stabbing more than a dozen swords, the swordsmanship was very sharp. At this moment, the heel of his right leg suddenly felt a sharp pain, and his leg went limp, and he almost didn't kneel on the ground.

"not good!"

Guo Zhen secretly called out that it was not good, he had plotted against him, and the other party had helpers.

He withstood the opponent's ferocious attack, dragged his right leg back again and again, and was ready to wait for an opportunity to escape. Suddenly, the heel of his left leg also felt a sharp pain, and he lost all strength in his legs, and he fell to his knees. Two throwing knives stuck in his left and right hamstrings, cutting off his left and right hamstrings.

Guo Zhen let out a long sigh, and watched the sharp horizontal knife slashing towards his neck, "Pfft!" The head was chopped off, and the headless corpse fell limply to the ground, blood spurting out.

A black figure flashed past, and drew two flying knives from Guo Zhen's heels, and gave Hei Liao a wink, Hei Liao picked up the head on the ground and ran into the darkness, the two of them disappeared into the darkness one after the other.
