Chapter 917: Does the Eastern Depot also need to roll?

~8 min read 1,484 words

After the New Year, Ma Mansion,

Lanterns were hung high, and couplets were pasted everywhere.

With a wine gourd hanging at his waist, Zhang Cheng looked leisurely at everyone busy and couldn't help but reveal a smile.

Standing beside many junior brothers, Liang Zhongshan felt a myriad of emotions in his heart, but didn't know what to say.

Looking at his appearance, Zhang Cheng inquired: "You aren't planning to snatch the bride, are you?"

"Me?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Liang Zhongshan hesitated.

"Forget it, they are a match made in heaven, how could it be your turn, a monster, to stop them!"

Holding the wine gourd, Zhang Cheng handed it to Liang Zhongshan beside him: "Drink some? I spent a lot of silver to buy it!"

Bitterly taking the wine gourd, Liang Zhongshan immediately gulped it down.

However, just three seconds later, Liang Zhongshan looked at Zhang Cheng with a confused face: "Why do I feel my head is a bit dizzy?"

"Dizzy? Dizzy is normal. After all, the sleeping drug in here is so much that even I don't dare to drink it!"

Snatching the wine gourd from Liang Zhongshan, Zhang Cheng hung it at his waist, his face revealing a playful look.

And after Liang Zhongshan collapsed, Zhang Cheng greeted the junior brother not far away: "Someone come! The Eldest Senior Brother couldn't hold his liquor and got drunk, hurry and help him back!"

Following Zhang Cheng's words, someone immediately stepped forward: "Eh, is the Eldest Senior Brother's drinking capacity so poor today?"

"Who knows? Probably because the Eldest Senior Brother was too happy, so he drank a few extra cups!"

As the junior brothers carried the Eldest Senior Brother away, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile: "I'm truly insidious!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Cheng picked up the wine gourd, pulled out the stopper, and took two gulps.

However, just as Zhang Cheng felt the taste was strange, he couldn't help but look at the wine gourd and say: "Holy crap... forgot to switch it!"

Dizzily patting his head, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but curse: "Fortunately my physique is good, otherwise I would have fallen into a ditch myself!"

But even so, Zhang Cheng felt his head aching a bit.

The sound of gongs and drums rose, Zhang Cheng immediately stabilized his mind and looked toward the main gate.

Carrying Zhu Yanzhi into the mansion, Ma Chengen was currently accepting everyone's cheers.

Watching the noisy sounds rise, Zhang Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief and found a place to lie down at will.

However, after night fell, a voice came to his ear: "Oh my, Brother Ma, don't be so anxious, okay?"

"Anxious?"

Slowly crawling up from the ground, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but walk to the window and blow a breath at his index finger.

But just as he poked through the window, Ma Chengen was playing chess with Zhu Yanzhi.

Looking at this scene in shock, Zhang Cheng's mouth couldn't help but open wide, looking very astonished.

Because a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, and you're actually playing chess?

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but curse: "Beast..."

But just as he finished saying this sentence, a similar voice came to his ear: "..."

Turning his head, Zhang Cheng looked at Tang Bohu, who was also staring at him in astonishment.

Looking at each other, the two hurriedly covered each other's mouths.

Pointing at Tang Bohu, Zhang Cheng tapped the ground, as if asking him why he appeared here.

And looking at Zhang Cheng, Tang Bohu asked the same question.

But just as neither side knew how to answer, Zhu Yanzhi turned her head: "Brother Ma, look outside the window, is someone peeking at us!"

"Is that so? I'll go check!"

Hearing Zhu Yanzhi's words, Ma Chengen also hurriedly stood up and walked toward the window.

But the moment he opened the window, Zhang Cheng and Tang Bohu were each covering their mouths, holding their breath.

When he saw no one, Ma Chengen closed the window and returned: "There's no one!"

Pointing to a distant location, Tang Bohu signaled Zhang Cheng to leave.

Nodding, Zhang Cheng immediately followed Tang Bohu toward the distance.

But just after arriving to the side, he couldn't help but say: "You are simply despicable and shameless, actually squatting in a corner!"

"Aren't we the same?"

Looking at Tang Bohu, Zhang Cheng stared at him with disgust.

And hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Tang Bohu was silent for a moment: "That, you..."

"Three hundred taels!"

Looking at Tang Bohu seriously, Zhang Cheng slowly raised three fingers.

"Deal!"

Backhanding and taking out three hundred taels from his pocket to hand to Zhang Cheng, Tang Bohu couldn't help but be confused: "Why are you here?"

"I used a sleeping drug to drug Liang Zhongshan, but forgot to switch the gourd and tasted two gulps myself!"

Explaining to the Tang Bohu before him, Zhang Cheng then smiled and explained.

"Hmm?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Tang Bohu was shocked: "Then how did you wake up so fast?"

One must know, Tang Bohu knew very well how potent Zhang Cheng's sleeping drug was; one gulp would put you to sleep for at least three or four days.

By the time Liang Zhongshan woke up, let alone stopping them, the day lilies would have already wilted.

"Oh, my physique is good!"

Explaining to Tang Bohu, Zhang Cheng then laughed.

But hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Tang Bohu then said: "The Grand Tutor sought me out yesterday, saying he introduced a job for you!"

"A job? What job? Becoming an official in the court? Look at me, do I have the look of a Prime Minister?"

Looking at Tang Bohu with a full face of smiles, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but inquire.

"Er, not becoming an official, but it's about the same as becoming an official, so the Grand Tutor asked me to persuade you!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng awkwardly, Tang Bohu explained.

And hearing Tang Bohu's rhetoric, Zhang Cheng was confused: "Could it be, the Grand Tutor wants me to be a general who whips his horse and lashes his whip?"

"Not a general either, it's a bit different from that!"

Explaining to Zhang Cheng, Tang Bohu then said solemnly: "It's about the same as a spy, but it requires someone with high martial arts! That's why the Grand Tutor thought of you!"

"A spy with high martial arts?"

Suddenly realizing, looking at Tang Bohu, Zhang Cheng revealed a smile: "I understand, the Grand Tutor wants me to infiltrate the Dragon Protection Villa, right!"

"Not the Dragon Protection Villa, it's the Eastern Depot!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng awkwardly, Tang Bohu couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Not the Dragon Protection Villa, it's the Eastern Depot!"

Understanding Tang Bohu's words, Zhang Cheng was stunned first, then hurriedly turned his head: "What did you say? Eastern Depot?"

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down!"

Covering Zhang Cheng's mouth, Tang Bohu couldn't help but feel awkward: "Cao Zhengchun is short of people, and the Grand Tutor couldn't find a suitable candidate, so he could only let you go!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng awkwardly, Tang Bohu smiled: "Don't worry, joining the Eastern Depot doesn't require castration! You can still marry a wife and have children!"

"Is this the point? The point is, the Eastern Depot, even a dog wouldn't go..."

Half a month later, Capital,

In front of the Eastern Depot gate,

Zhang Cheng, handing over his identity document, looked lifeless: "Zhang Cheng, courtesy name Xinzhi!"

"Go inside!"

Pointing casually in one direction, the secret agent said indifferently.

But after Zhang Cheng entered the interior of the Eastern Depot, he discovered that on the training ground here, there were actually hundreds or thousands of people training.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Cheng was stunned in place.

Before he joined the Eastern Depot, he learned martial arts at Xiaoyao Mountain and was rolling internally. Now that he joined the Eastern Depot, he was still rolling internally. Then didn't he join the Eastern Depot in vain?

Captain Jia: You bullied me when the Imperial Army didn't come, and you still bullied me when the Imperial Army came. Then didn't the Imperial Army come in vain?

Zhang Cheng: That's right, Captain Jia said it well!

"Who is Zhang Xinzhi from the Seven Heroes Town in Jiangnan? Come over!"

Shouting while holding the roster, a voice came from the distance.

Hearing his name being called, Zhang Cheng walked forward: "It's me!"

"Here, this is your mission. Within seven days, get him!"

Handing over a wanted poster, the secret agent slapped it into Zhang Cheng's bosom.

Looking at the person on it, Zhang Cheng tilted his neck: "Ten Thousand Mile Lone Walker? Tian Boguang, does the Eastern Depot also do the work of the Six Fan Gates?"
