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

An important reason why Zhang Yan prospered in Taixue was that his grandfather Zhang Shuo was the leader of the Tang Dynasty literary world, and his uncle Zhang Jie was also the leader of the Tang Dynasty literary world. Of course everyone wanted to fawn over him.

Zhang Yan really didn't want to bow to Li Ye, but he had no choice. His father had made it clear to him that if he didn't bow to Li Ye, their entire family would kneel down and beg for their lives before Li Linfu.

Li Ye knew he was coming, so he didn't embarrass him and asked a few friends to entertain him to give him face.

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

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

There were very few people in the restaurant at this time, so there was no need to go to the private room. The five of them went up to the second floor and found a seat by the window.

Their sake is my favorite, it's called chalcedony, bartender!

Zhang Yan waved to the bartender and said with a smile: Two pots of chalcedony pulp. It will take thirty years of service. Don't fool me!

Others may not know it, but Wei Song is shocked. Thirty-year-old chalcedony pulp is made by the Yuan family. It is rarely sold to outsiders. Even if it is sold, it costs hundreds of dollars a pot. What happened to Mr. Zhang today? ?

The bartender laughed and said, How dare you deceive Mr. Zhang? I guarantee the goods are genuine!

Zhang Yan smiled again and said: You can eat authentic Kuquan Sheep here. Among all the major restaurants in Chang'an, this is the only real one!

Young master is right. My boss has a ranch in Tongzhou. They must be genuine Kuquan sheep, but the price is a bit more expensive.

Zhang Yan didn't care about the price and said with a smile: I will order five more roast lambs, medium portion!

Even Li Ye knew that the real Kuquan sheep cost three hundred guan each, and only the rich could eat it. Five portions of roasted mutton cost ten kilograms of mutton, which was almost as much as one sheep.

Zhang Yan showed his sincerity today.

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

Okay! Let's keep it simple.

Zhang Yan smiled and ordered a dozen more delicious dishes. At this time, the wine arrived first, and Wei Song and the other three knew that they had taken advantage of it, and rushed to pour wine for Li Ye and Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan raised his glass and said with a smile: To eliminate the previous unpleasantness, we drank this toast!

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

Only then did Wei Song and the other two finally realize that Zhang Yan came here specifically to apologize to Li Ye. Was it for the Sun Jiliang case?

All three of them guessed the first one, but not 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 person involved.

Everyone clinked glasses and drank in one gulp. At this time, the roast lamb also arrived. It was indeed tender and juicy, without any smell of mutton, and was extremely delicious.

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

Everyone laughed and drank another glass of wine.

The lunch ended after nearly an hour. Wei Song and the others had classes in the afternoon and were walking in a hurry. Zhang Yan and Li Ye were walking behind. Zhang Yan whispered: Thank you, dear brother, for giving me face today. I thought I was going to be humiliated today!”

Li Ye smiled and patted his arm and said, You will soon be a dignified Prime Minister. Who dares to humiliate you?

Zhang Yan was startled, What do you mean, dear brother? Is my father going to become a prime minister?

Li Ye nodded, This matter is quite secretive and must not be spread outside, but your father understands it.

My father knows?

You can ask your father at night. He should have an idea.

Zhang Yan heard that there was something in Li Ye's words, and he 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 in his hand.

How long have you been waiting? Li Ye asked apologetically.

I've been waiting for a while, and I also accepted an invitation for you. It was sent by a little Taoist priest.

What is it?

Li Ye curiously accepted the invitation. It turned out to be an invitation for the ceremony for Master Mingsong to succeed as the master of Xuandu Temple. Master Mingsong was the eldest disciple of Feilong and was originally the host of Laojun Hall. Unexpectedly, he was now promoted to the master of Xuandu Temple.

It's the morning of the day after tomorrow, and Li Ye doesn't have any classes, so you can go take a look.

Do you have any news over there? Li Ye asked again.

The club hand you asked me to check showed up.

Zhang Ping didn't mention it, but Li Ye almost forgot about the murderer of Heimai's family. Li Ye quickly asked: How did you find out?

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

Black Spear is not reckless!

Black Spear said, it's up to you.

Li Ye took a fancy to Hei Spear's martial arts and stalwart figure, a natural Mo Dao general, and wanted to accept him as his confidant. So he had to avenge him first. Now that he couldn't touch the Yang family for the time being, he could at least kill his father, wife and children. Kill the killer, it’s this club hand.

Li Ye thought for a moment and said, Keep an eye on them. They can't bear the loneliness and will definitely go out. As long as they go out, we will have a chance.

Zhang Ping smiled and said: Actually, I have a chance tonight!

In front of the Baihua brothel in Chongrenfang, the madam led a few prostitutes with beautiful flowers to attract customers in front of the door. There were many people dancing and laughing, and many men passing by were half pushed and dragged in by the heavily made-up prostitutes.

At this time, a tall and thin man walked out of the brothel. It was Guo Zhen, the chief killer of the Yang family. He was originally a gangster, nicknamed Plum Blossom Hand. He had killed many people and was wanted by the Chang'an government. In the fifth year of Tianbao, He defected to the Yang family, which 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, reestablished his household registration, and easily cleared his name and came ashore.

In the past few years, he has done a lot for the Yang family, and he is quite talented as a leader. He was appointed by the Yang family as the head killer. Of course, the Yang family does not call him a killer, but a deer hunter.

A few days ago, he led several men to Xianyang to hunt and silence Heizhu. Unexpectedly, he killed Heizhu's wife, children and father, but let Heizhu escape. When he came back, he was scolded by Yang Hui, and he was in a really bad mood.

As soon as it gets dark, Guo Zhen has to rush back to the Yang Mansion. They must stay in the Yang Mansion at night to protect the safety of the Yang family master.

Master Guo, are you going back so early? the madam said with a smile on her face.

Guo Zhen said gloomily: I still have things to do when I go back!

By the way, someone seemed to be looking for Mr. Guo just now.

Guo Zhen was stunned, Who? Who is looking for me?

I!

An extremely tall and majestic man walked out of the darkness, holding a horizontal knife, and said coldly: You should still know me!

Guo Zhen pulled out the sword from his waist, took a few steps back, and stared at the other person with squinted eyes, I was worried that I couldn't find you, but here you are!

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

Black Spear roared and rushed forward with his sword. He was a heroic cavalry general. He was very good at riding and shooting. He was also very good at wielding a broadsword. He could also use throwing knives, but in a small-scale short-weapons duel, he was very flexible. If he is not strong enough, he is really no match for Guo Zhen.

Since Guo Zhen is the leader of the killers, it is of course because of his extremely powerful martial arts. Black Spear had competed with Guo Zhen before, and Black Spear was no match for him. If Black Spear's father hadn't risked his life to drag Guo Zhen's leg, Guo Zhen would have been killed last time. Just kill him.

This was the reason why Guo Zhen didn't run away. He knew the other party's abilities, and he would definitely be able to take Black Spear's head today.

Guo Zhen ‘Brush! brush! brush! ’ After stabbing out more than a dozen swords, his swordsmanship was very sharp. At this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the heel of his right leg. His leg went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

not good!

Guo Zhen secretly cried out that something was not good, he had been tricked, and the other party had helpers.

He withstood the opponent's fierce attack and dragged his right leg back, waiting for an opportunity to escape. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in the heel of his left leg. He lost all strength in his legs and fell to his knees. He reached out and touched it. Two throwing knives were inserted into his left and right hamstrings, severing his left and right hamstrings.

Guo Zhen let out a long sigh and watched helplessly as the sharp horizontal knife struck his neck. Pfft! The head was blown away, and the headless corpse fell softly to the ground, with blood gushing out.

A black shadow flashed past, pulled out two flying knives from Guo Zhen's heels, and winked at Black Spear. Black Spear picked up the head on the ground and ran towards the darkness. The two of them disappeared into the darkness one after the other.
