To translate it, it actually means returning a favor!

By extracting some of Si Rui's memories and using his upgraded brain as a support, Zhang San understood his current situation after just a simple thought.

Obviously, due to the information asymmetry, Gu Xuanyan and her group did not know about the special situation in Taiping County. Perhaps in their impression, Taiping County was just like other counties and was simply haunted.

And more importantly, even though the Gu family is a thousand-year-old family, it has eventually fallen into decline. To put it nicely, their trip is to visit relatives, but to put it bluntly, it is to live under someone else's roof.

The current situation in Taiping County is unknown. Instead of relying on distant relatives for the future, it is better to invest in the soon-to-be-appointed Taiping County Master. After all, the two can be regarded as friends for life and death.

Although in the organization of foreign officials in the Jingyesi of the Great Jin Dynasty, the enfeoffed foreigners were the lowest-ranking foreign officials, but this low rank only applied to the Douxiu (Twenty-Eight Mansions) and to frontier officials such as the commander.

As the saying goes, "a prefect confiscates property and a county magistrate exterminates the entire family." In Taiping County, a county magistrate of the seventh rank can be feared like a tiger, let alone a person who can enthrone an extraordinary person?

After all, according to the organization of Jingyesi, the person who is appointed as an alien is actually a sixth-rank military officer, who is in charge of the local garrison chief, responsible for suppressing ghost troubles in various places and supervising the aliens in the wild in various places.

To put it more simply, the enfeoffed aliens have armies under their command. Even though the number of people is relatively small, it is a real violent organization.

When a scholar meets a soldier, isn't it obvious who has the advantage? What's more, unlike other guards set up outside the city, this one is located at a strategic point.

Because the canal passes through the city, in order to ensure the mobility of the Jingye Division of Taiping County, the Baihu Suo of Taiping County was established in the county seat. Including the canonized foreigners, there are a total of 112 staff members in office.

Under the perfect administrative system, the military and political sides of the Jin Dynasty were indeed in different systems, and the parent official of Taiping County was undoubtedly the county magistrate. However, if Zhang San used his rank to put pressure on the other party, the county magistrate would be helpless.

Although she didn't know why Dou Su gave the token to Zhang San without even testing him, this did not prevent Gu Xuanyan from understanding the other party's power.

Everything she did before might have been mixed with some hidden emotions, but more importantly it was definitely for the future development of the Gu family.

Gu Xuanyan is actually the same as Zhang San. They are not the kind of people who are blinded by emotions for selfish desires. Gu Xuanyan understands this, and Zhang San naturally knows it too.

The Book of Rites says, "To go without coming back is not rite; to come without going back is also not rite."

Zhang San had already talked about how to become invincible in the world, and now is the time for him to fulfill his words.

After thinking these things through, Zhang San calmly left the memory palace.

It was already 9 o'clock. In order to take care of Zhang San, Gu Xuanyan and her group were cooking. Judging from their preparations, it seemed that they were planning to live here for a long time, and they seemed very sincere.

The effect of the knockout drug that Yaya was drugged with has worn off. She had woken up before, but because it was her first time to take the drug, her body had not yet adapted to it.

When the external pressure decreased, she returned to her drowsy state. She only held Zhang San's hand tightly, but she didn't know that Zhang San had woken up at this time.

He rubbed Yaya's head with his free left hand. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but Zhang San actually felt particularly happy at this moment. All the troubles he faced in the future were swept away at this moment.

Perhaps this is Yaya’s most unique function. As long as she still exists, Zhang San can be sure that he is still Zhang San!

Because of her congenital weakness, the little girl's sleep quality was abnormally poor. Although the effect of the knockout drug had not yet dissipated, when Zhang San's palm touched her head, Yaya woke up instantly.

Looking at Zhang San's slightly sick face, Yaya did not shed tears and act like a little girl. She had been dependent on Zhang San since she was a child. Zhang San regarded her as a pure land. Naturally, Zhang San's status in Yaya's mind would not be much lower.

If Zhang San died, the little girl would definitely not live alone.

But since Zhang San was fine, she would naturally greet him with the brightest smile, hoping to use this most primitive and sunny method to dispel the fear in her brother's heart.

"Brother is bad. He slept for so long that the eggs Yaya cooked are cold!" ([○｀Д○])

After clasping his hands together to express his apology, Zhang San first took the egg from Yaya's hand, and then asked, "Where did you get this egg from?"

"Sister Gu gave it to them. Since they have to travel for a long time, they will prepare some supplies in the car."

After hearing Yaya's name, Zhang San's eyes narrowed at first, and then he spoke again.

"Yaya, can you help me find your sister Gu? I want to thank her in person!"

Looking at Yaya's excited expression, Zhang San didn't say anything, but after Yaya left, his face instantly turned gloomy.

Did he think too little of Gu Xuanyan before?

The secret painting method is cunning and his behavior is flawless. In just a moment, he can establish a trusting relationship with someone like Yaya who has mild social anxiety.

This young lady from the Gu family, who has come from afar to visit her relatives with precious treasures, is her purpose really just to visit her relatives?

Although they have only met for a short time, after witnessing the unique skills of the secret painting school, even Zhang San is quite afraid of Gu Xuanyan today.

After all, they had only released a python at the beginning. Such a strange beast that only had a name in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was at best a third-rate creature.

However, with the previous experience, who can say for sure whether she has other beasts in her hands? Even though the power that the Secret Painting School can exert is limited and the duration that can be sustained is also very short, it cannot withstand the opponent's high status.

After thousands of years of inheritance, no matter how harsh the conditions are, there will be some trump cards left. The python last night might just be an appetizer.

Of course, the world is dangerous, and there is nothing wrong with keeping some skills when you go out. Zhang San would not hold a grudge against others because of this matter. After all, the Gu family really saved his life.

What made him curious was that the Gu family possessed such power and had connections all over the world, so why would they decide to travel thousands of miles north under the pretext of seeking refuge with relatives?

According to Zhang San's understanding of Gu Xuanyan, it would be strange if there was nothing fishy going on here.

But are these things important to Zhang San? Now all he needs is an attitude. It is true that you should return a favor, but at least you have to know what the other party needs.
