Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

"Tiezhu, go rent two more horses. After all, we need to rush back tonight, and I'll feel bad if the horses get tired."

After Zhang Tiezhu finished buying everything, Zheng Qian asked Zhang Tiezhu to rent two more horses.

They now have five horses, two carrying meat and one carrying cloth, so running is no problem at all.

As Zheng Qian left the city gate, he stuffed one hundred copper coins into the hand of the captain guarding the city.

"Sir, we need to rush back tonight. We'll need your help to open the city gate then. I'll have a midnight snack to thank you for it!"

"Chief Escort Zheng, you mustn't do that."

The captain said it was unacceptable, but his hands honestly accepted the money, and he said in a low voice.

"We guys like roast chicken with rice wine."

"Don't worry, nothing will be missing."

Two years ago, Zheng Le Escort Agency was one of the strongest forces in Lvchang County. As Zheng Le's son, Zheng Qian was also a well-known figure in Lvchang County.

In the past two years, he gambled away all his family fortune, becoming a negative example in family education of children. In Lvchang County, it is impossible to find anyone who does not know him.

After Zheng Qian and Zhang Tiezhu walked away, the captain ran up the city wall.

"Young Master Hua, Zheng Qian said he's coming back tonight and asked me to open the door for him."

With a whoosh, the fan opened, and Hua Zhongzheng fanned himself without moving his greasy hair, then handed over a string of copper coins.

"Thank you, Captain Zhang. This is just a small token of my appreciation for the drinks with the brothers. When Zheng Qian returns, I'll have to trouble you to let me know that I will be very grateful."

"You're too kind, Hua Shao!"

Captain Zhang was making polite remarks, but in his mind he was constantly complaining.

Bah! You're shameless to even offer twenty copper coins?

Learn from Zheng Qian; he was also a spendthrift, but he was much more extravagant than you.

Hua Zhongzheng returned to the Jade Spear Sect and immediately sought out Bai Shao.

"Uncle, Zheng Qian has left the city."

"Leave the city? Why didn't you stop him? If he gets away, how are we going to kill him tomorrow?"

Bai Shao's zombie-like face showed his displeasure; how could his sister and brother-in-law have given birth to such a useless child?

"Don't you trust me to handle things? I asked around, and they went to Zhang Tiezhu's house, bought a lot of meat and cloth, and told the vendors to hurry up. They're coming back tonight."

Zheng Qian also greeted Captain Zhang, asking him to keep the door open for him that evening, saying he would be back. To avoid alerting the enemy, I didn't keep him.

Nodding, Bai Shao now found Hua Zhong much more agreeable.

"Yes, this was handled well."

With a whoosh, Hua Zhong opened his fan and shook his greasy hair.

"My uncle knows I'm handling things, so I'm very confident."

Bai Shao frowned. Although he was Hua Zhongzheng's maternal uncle, and Hua Zhongzheng had conspired with Black Bear to win most of Zheng Qian's fortune, he still had to admit a fact.

Hua Zhong is a complete incompetent.

"Send men to guard outside Zhang Tiezhu's village in case Zheng Qian escapes. Tell them to hide and not be discovered."

"Alright, Uncle, don't worry. Tomorrow I'll show you what I'm capable of and stab him to death with one shot."

After leaving the city gate and turning onto a side road, Zheng Qian spurred his horse and galloped away.

Time is of the essence, and he needed to get to Zhangjia Village as soon as possible, which is why he rented two more horses.

Zhangjia Village is built against the mountain, with 23 households making a living by hunting and farming. A stream flows in front of the village, and the tranquil rural atmosphere is refreshing.

Crackling...

Upon arriving at the village entrance, Zhang Tiezhu lit a string of 30,000 firecrackers, the sound echoing through the mountains and attracting the attention of the villagers.

"Hey, Sha Zhu, you're back on horseback?"

"Yes, not many, just five."

"Silly Zhu, buying so much meat, you've got guts now."

"It's not much, only two hundred catties. Come over to my house for meat later." "Silly Zhu, you've made money! That's amazing."

"I didn't earn much. I'm planning to buy a few cows for my mother this time I came back."

Zhang Tiezhu greeted everyone warmly, and although everyone still called him Shazhu, he was happy.

The villagers all share the same ancestor, five generations back, and are all elders. They can accept being called "Silly Zhu."

Whenever Zhang Tiezhu encountered children, he would take out candy and hand it out, which resulted in a bunch of children following behind him.

In a good mood, Zhang Tiezhu took off his shirt, revealing a pink undergarment underneath.

He didn't forget his benefactor, and introduced Zheng Qian to everyone he met.

"This is our head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), Zheng镖师 (bodyguard/escort)."

Everyone seemed used to Zhang Tiezhu's pink bellyband, and no one gave him any strange looks. Zheng Qian admired their tolerance.

When they encountered several elderly men, Zhang Tiezhu dismounted to greet them, and Zheng Qian followed suit, also dismounting to offer polite greetings and providing them with snacks.

One of the elderly men, with gray hair, sat on the edge of the field, leaning on a wooden stick. His eyes were lifeless, clearly showing signs of severe presbyopia. He squinted at Zheng Qian and said...

"Silly Zhu, you're back. Is this the wife you found? She's strong enough to work, but why is she wearing a bellyband? People say that, you shouldn't dress like that."

His smile froze, and Zheng Qian, consumed by anger, shouted loudly.

"Put your clothes on properly, put your clothes on properly." "Yes, sir."

Zhang Tiezhu stopped showing off and quickly got dressed.

"Tiezhu, your temper has changed. How can you yell at your wife? If she runs away, where will you find her?"

Then the old man looked at Tiezhu and continued.

“Wife, if Shazhu scolds you in the future, come to Fifth Grandfather. Fifth Grandfather will stand up for you. Don’t run away. Live a good life.”

Zheng Qian walked to Zhang Tiezhu's house with a gloomy face without saying a word.

It's so annoying.

Thump, thump, thump.

As soon as three big firecrackers were set off, Zhang Tiezhu stood at his door and shouted loudly, and soon the whole village, young and old, gathered at Zhang Tiezhu's house.

Everyone who enters asks this question.

"Who died?"

In rural areas, setting off three large firecrackers is a way of calling on everyone to help when there is a funeral in the family.

In order to gather the villagers as quickly as possible, Zhang Tiezhu used this method: everyone in the village, young and old, put down their work and gathered at his house.

"Hehe, our head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) is here as a guest, and invited you all to come and have some fun and meat."

“This镖头 (bodyguard/escort) is quite handsome. I just cooked some beans at home, so I brought them over for him to try.”

"I have pheasant meat at home, let's cook it."

"I'll serve rice wine; we won't leave until we're drunk."

Zheng Qian was touched by everyone's enthusiasm, but he didn't forget his business.

"Thank you, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters. I'll come back tonight to eat meat and drink with you. Now I need someone who knows how to hunt and make traps to help me."

Taking off the bundle and taking out the three hundred taels of silver inside, Zheng Qian continued.

"I learned some martial arts from Tiezhu. The county magistrate has summoned us to Malanshan to suppress bandits. For our safety, we would like to ask everyone to help us set up some traps."

The scene immediately fell silent, and a middle-aged man stepped forward.

“I just came back from Malanshan. My older brother told me to prepare some meat to take back with me. Some officials are coming to visit the village tomorrow. I haven’t heard anything about fighting.”

Zhang Tiezhu introduced, "Head镖师 (镖头 is a kind of bodyguard/escort), this is my third uncle, he is the third leader of Malanshan."

Zheng Qian was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that Zhangjia Village would produce such a talented person, who could become the third leader of the bandits.

He then sincerely told his third uncle about Bai Shao's attempt to harm them and shared the contents of the letter.

Third Uncle, true to his reputation as the leader of the bandits, immediately convened a meeting of everyone in the village. After Zhang Tiezhu recounted how good Zheng Qian had been to him, he performed "Dazzling Sword Dance" again, and the entire village unanimously passed a resolution to help Zheng Qian.

Then Zhang Tiezhu's house became lively. The newly bought cloth was washed and hung around the yard to block the view of his yard. Then the whole village started cooking, bragging and chatting.

Zheng Qian changed into a villager's outfit and disappeared from the back mountain with a group of hunters.

As the host, Zhang Tiezhu stayed home taking care of household chores. Occasionally, he would exchange a few words with the person dressed in Zheng Qian's clothes in the yard. Afterward, he would ride a horse and take the children for a wild ride on the country road.

As darkness fell, Zheng Qian and the hunters returned to Zhang Tiezhu's house.

By this time, the cloth had dried, and Zhang Tiezhu's mother personally brought it back into the house. Zhang Tiezhu's father lit torches in the yard, and the whole village began to eat and drink in the yard.

Two voices rang out from the woods at the village entrance.

"They're eating meat and drinking alcohol like crazy, while I'm stuck here feeding mosquitoes. What bad luck."

"Yeah, that good-for-nothing Hua Zhongzheng sent us to keep an eye on Zheng Qian, I don't know what he's up to."

"You said he's a good-for-nothing, how could he possibly do anything right? I curse him to die in Malanshan tomorrow."
