I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 51 Meeting
The county town... the official named Zhang...

Zhang Yufeng finally came to the door in person?
Xie Yuan's brows furrowed instantly.

Cao Shan saw that he looked unwell, and immediately asked with concern:

"Xie Junior Brother, what's wrong? Is there a problem? Do you want me to call you Senior Brother or Master?"

"No, it's okay, Senior Brother Cao. We are from the same hometown. Please show me the way."

Xie Yuan shook his head and didn't want to mobilize a large army.

Seeing that his brows were not relaxed, Cao Shan nodded slightly and led Xie Yuan to a tea room.

Standing at the door of the tea room, Xie Yuan subconsciously touched the axe at his waist, then pushed the door open and walked in.

In the tea room, a handsome young man was sitting at the table sipping tea.

He was wearing a blue robe, was tall and thin, had handsome features, a fair face, and a feminine temperament.

It's just that the joints of his five fingers are thick, and he has a long sword with its sheath on the table, which makes people dare not regard him as a handsome boy.

The man raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly:

"Xie Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to have grown taller."

Xie Yuan looked serious and said slowly:

"Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your concern."

Zhang Yufeng looked at him, took a look, and laughed:

"Yuanzi, why are you so nervous? We are all from the same village, sit down."

Xie Yuan stood there, not moving.

Zhang Yufeng can be considered a legendary figure in Xiaoshi Village.

From a penniless poor boy, to becoming a martial artist after learning martial arts from a master, and then to becoming the head of an official in the county government.

To the people in the village, this experience was something that only storytellers could tell; and if a warrior was given an official position, he would be considered a top-notch figure.

Therefore, Zhang Yufeng's reputation was more effective than anything else in Xiaoshi Village. No matter how noisy Zhang Laoer was, few dared to say no, until Xie Yuan beat him up.

Although they were in the martial arts hall, Zhang Yufeng probably couldn't do anything. But seeing that his seemingly warm expression didn't show any smile in his eyes, but rather were cold, Xie Yuan subconsciously didn't want to get close to him.

Xie Yuan shook his head and said:
"We're from the same village, so I know what kind of person you are. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

"Haha, look at what you said. What kind of person am I? I even went back to the village specially. When I saw you were not there, I went to the martial arts hall to look for you. But you were so slow."

Zhang Yufeng shook his head, looking as if he was blaming a junior.

Xie Yuan then realized that Zhang Yufeng might have gone to the village to look for him early in the morning, and then went to the town. However, Xie Yuan went to Boss Wan first, which delayed him and caused him to miss the chance.

What good is this all for?
Xie Yuan said coldly:
"so?"

"Why are you so alert? I just want to give you a chance."

Zhang Yufeng smiled:
"The county lieutenant's back garden is in need of a servant to water the flowers. If you go there, you will have no worries about food and clothing, and you will be rich and prosperous. Why would you bother chopping wood and practicing martial arts?"

"Watering the flowers in the back garden? Go sell the hooks yourself, don't ask me."

Xie Yuan made a sound of "Pooh".

He didn't know what the slang was, but he had already known the truth from Li Mazi, and now he couldn't hide it from him.

When Zhang Yufeng heard him speak so bluntly, his face suddenly darkened and he pursed his lips.

He took a sip of tea and said slowly:
“You are still young, and you don’t know that there are some things that are beyond your control.

"But you will understand soon, because you have no choice." Xie Yuan inexplicably felt a pressure coming towards him, and the air in the tea room seemed a little stagnant.

He looked at Zhang Yufeng who was brewing and washing tea easily, exhaled, and said:
"What if I just don't agree?"

Zhang Yufeng raised his head and looked at Xie Yuan, his eyes showing sympathy and teasing:
"Does it matter whether you agree or not?

"You don't seem to understand. The one who has taken a fancy to you is the county lieutenant of Yunzhao County, a junior brother of the leader of the Vajra Sect, and a fourth-level master. In Yunzhao, even the county magistrate has to respect him. If he wants something, others will rush to give it to him. You are just a small woodcutter in the village. Do you think you can hide away?

"We are from the same village, and I want to help you, but the county lieutenant has taken a fancy to you, and there is nothing I can do. You should just accept your fate.

"I came to you this time to tell you that the time is almost up. You can either go with me honestly, or suffer a little before going. It's your choice."

Xie Yuan's face was as gloomy as water, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"You want to help me? Tell me, how did the county lieutenant of Yunzhao County know about me, a nameless mountain boy?"

Zhang Yufeng took the teacup and blew on the tea:
"I'm doing this for your own good. We're from the same village, so I'll give you a hand."

"Fuck it."

Xie Yuan couldn't help it, pointed at Zhang Yufeng's nose and cursed:

"Have you ever thought that since you are so disgusting, if I really go to that old rabbit's house and don't please him, I will give you a hard time? Stupid."

Zhang Yufeng's face darkened at first, but after hearing what happened next, he revealed a strange smile and said sarcastically:
"Do you think you're the only one who's smart?
"In his family's back garden, the servants were replaced every three months at most.

"I've been there, and the flowers there are better than anywhere else."

Hey!
Xie Yuan gritted his teeth. It turned out that he didn’t want me to live at all!
He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could chop Zhang Yufeng in half with an axe.

After taking a deep breath, Xie Yuan calmed down the anger in his chest and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth:
"Zhang Yufeng, you can't be so arrogant for too long."

His tone was dark and chilling.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Yufeng raised his eyebrows and smiled:

"You have guts! Go to the county lieutenant's backyard and daydream."

He stood up, took out a badge, and suddenly shouted:

"Xie Yuan from Xiaoshi Village, you beat up fellow villagers, bullied men and women, forced sales in the county restaurant, and oppressed merchants. Now that there is evidence, come with me back to the county government office for trial!"

? !
Xie Yuan's eyes widened and bloodshot, and his hand touched the axe at his waist.

A surge of rage burst out from my heart, hot blood rushed throughout my body, and my blood and internal energy became agitated at the same time.

If I really followed him into the county government office, I would be at the mercy of others and there would be no way to save myself. I would probably have to go through a period of dark torture before I died.

Instead of that, I might as well fight him now!

Either you defeat him and get your freedom, or if you can’t, you have to chop off some of his parts!
"You want to take me away, Zhang Yufeng? Let's see if you have the ability to do it!"

Xie Yuan roared, pulled out his axe and raised it high.

Zhang Yufeng looked at Xie Yuan who was like a madman, and suddenly felt a little nervous, as if he sensed a dangerous aura.

How can it be?

Didn't he just start practicing martial arts?
Zhang Yufeng was somewhat doubtful and subconsciously picked up his sword, as if he were facing a powerful enemy.

Just when Xie Yuan's aura was about to reach its peak and was about to explode, the door of the tea room was suddenly opened with a bang.

A short and fat figure jumped in and stood in front of Xie Yuan:
"What are you doing? What are you doing in my territory?"
