Chapter seven hundred and forty seventh saints are not saints
Hearing Zhang Xiaozu say that he had dismissed the Shen family, Butcher Zhang's first reaction was that Zhang Xiaozu had reached some kind of agreement with the Shen family. He couldn't help but worry about Zhang Xiaozu, feeling that Zhang Xiaozu was seeking skin from a tiger, and sooner or later he would be killed by the Shen family.
Eat until no bones or scraps are left.
"I gave them to—"
Zhang Xiaozu made a gesture of wiping his neck towards Butcher Zhang and told Butcher Zhang what he meant by "sent away".
Zhang Butcher stood up in shock. This answer made him even more worried about Zhang Xiaozu, because killing the Shen family was equivalent to declaring war on the Shen family, which would surely lead to violent revenge from the Shen family.
But he calmed down immediately, guessing that there must be other hidden secrets, so he turned around and walked into the handsome tent, saying: "Come in and tell me the details. You two are guarding outside and no one is allowed to approach."
The last sentence was given to Jia Zhongmou and Hu Buhu.
"Yes." The two of them accepted the order respectfully.
Butcher Zhang entered the handsome tent, sat down in front of a small coffee table, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for himself and Zhang Xiaozu, and motioned for Zhang Xiaozu to sit down and talk.
"You should have met your grandma, right?" Butcher Zhang took a sip of tea and was not in a hurry to ask about the Shen family.
"Yes, I saw it."
"Is she feeling well?"
"Grandma was well taken care of by Uncle Wan, but her grandson was unfilial and made her old man worried again and again." Zhang Xiaozhu apologized and blamed himself.
Butcher Zhang sighed: "That's what happens when people get old. They can't help but worry about their children and grandchildren. Tell me, why did the Shen family suddenly come to arrest you? Did His Majesty help you get rid of the Shen family? He is not afraid of the Shen family's revenge.
?"
Su Hanlin told him in the summons that the person who came to arrest Zhang Xiaopeng was Shen Wenyu of the Shen family. He could catch the crossbow arrows of the Eight-Pointed Zhuxian Heavy Crossbow at close range with his bare fists. His combat prowess was very good, so he conditionally believed that Zhang Xiaopeng was definitely not Shen Wenyu's.
As for the opponent, I guess it was Su Hanlin who helped Zhang Xiaozu kill Shen Wenyu.
"My mother asked my sister to come to me——" Zhang Xiaozhu immediately told Butcher Zhang the whole story in detail.
When he heard Zhang Xiaozu say that he was ambushed by the Shen family and his son, and how one man could fight against the Shen family and his son, even though he knew that Zhang Xiaozu had won the final victory, Zhang Xiaozu was still frightened and couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhang Xiaozu.
sweat.
And it was learned that Zhang Xiaozu's cultivation had reached the ninth level of heaven, and his mind had broken through to the barrier-breaking state. He had also absorbed the power of the ancient immortals from the Shen family and his son, so that his ninety-five bones awakened the power of the ancient immortals, and his combat power was increased.
Unprecedented improvement, Zhang Butcher was shocked and happy but also breathed a sigh of relief.
With Zhang Xiaozu's current combat power, as long as he doesn't encounter a top master, he has enough power to protect himself. Zhang Butcher feels that he can go with a little more peace of mind.
"Your mother is great, much better than your useless father."
Knowing that Shen Wenjun had been silently protecting Zhang Xiaopou and the only seedling of their Zhang family, Zhang Butcher was filled with gratitude.
"My father is also a victim. I don't blame him. I blame the Shen family for being so ruthless and cruel and tearing our family apart." Zhang Xiaozhu said.
A gleam of hatred flashed in Zhang Butcher's eyes. He was also full of resentment and hatred towards the Shen family. But thinking of his current situation, he couldn't help but look sad and sighed: "Grandpa can't help you like this. I can only save your mother."
You can rely on yourself.
Grandpa knows that you must miss your mother in your heart and wish you could see her right away, but the more you do this, the more calm you have to be.
The Shen family of Zhongzhou is like an unstoppable dragon to you. One wrong move may put you in a situation of eternal disaster, so when it comes to rescuing your mother, you have to be careful every step you take.
do you understand?"
"My grandson understands." Zhang Xiaozu nodded vigorously.
"In this way...grandpa can leave peacefully." Butcher Zhang smiled happily.
"Grandpa, don't say such depressing words. It's just that you failed to prove the truth. It's not a big deal. Let's just regroup and try again.
You have been invincible in the battlefield all your life, but you cannot be defeated by this setback." Zhang Xiaozu encouraged Zhang Butcher.
Zhang Butcher looked at Zhang Xiaopou, his expression suddenly became extremely serious, and he said in a solemn tone: "Child, I want to tell you something. In fact, I did not fail to achieve enlightenment, but was taken away from me by others."
"What?!" Zhang Xiaozhu was shocked when he heard this.
"That day I was besieged by six Peak Realm experts from the Star Realm -" Zhang Butcher told Zhang Xiaopou what he had experienced that day.
Then he said: "I didn't tell your grandma and Uncle Wan about this, because they couldn't do anything if they knew about it, and they would only feel troubled. The reason why I told you is not to ask you to help me take revenge, but to remind you,
You must be careful about this person when you achieve enlightenment in the future."
He believed that Zhang Xiaozu would be able to reach a height equal to him or even higher than him in the future, so he was afraid that Zhang Xiaozu would also be targeted by the person who took away his Tao.
Zhang Xiaopou was so angry that he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "Remember this enemy grandson. One day, your grandson will definitely get back double the amount for you. Have you seen that person's face?"
, can you draw a portrait for your grandson?"
Butcher Zhang shook his head and said, "I can't remember clearly."
Seeing Zhang Xiaozu's suspicious expression, he explained: "That person must have used some kind of method to make people unable to remember his appearance. Maybe that's why he didn't kill me on the spot."
Zhang Xiaozhu said with a stern look: "If you don't know how to do anything but yourself, your grandson will definitely find him to avenge you."
"Remember, saints are not sages, and what they say cannot be trusted. When dealing with them, you must be more cautious." Butcher Zhang warned.
"Yeah" Zhang Xiaozu nodded.
"You came to Northern Xinjiang this time to see your father, right?" Zhang Butcher asked, changing the subject.
"I want to see my father, but also to find you. Your Majesty ordered me to bring you two things." Zhang Xiaozu replied.
After saying that, he took out a secret letter and a fist-sized brown jade box from the mustard seeds and handed them to Butcher Zhang.
Butcher Zhang took the two things and first opened the jade box and took a look. There was a red pill inside, which exuded a slightly pungent fishy smell.
He quickly closed the jade box, and while opening the secret letter, he muttered and cursed: "Damn it, isn't this disgusting thing sent to me to eat?"
There were only a few lines of words on the letter paper. Butcher Zhang scanned them all at a glance. He couldn't help laughing and scolding: "What a bastard. You really sent it to me, but it suits me well."
"Your Majesty wants you to go to Canghai City to fight against Cang Yihai?" Zhang Xiaozu asked tentatively.
Butcher Zhang handed him the secret letter.
Zhang Xiaozu took it in his hand and read it carefully line by line.
The content of the letter is very simple, asking Butcher Zhang to go to Canghai City to fight Cang Yihai. The elixir in the jade box can help Butcher Zhang regain his fighting strength for twelve hours, but the price is his life.
In other words, whether he wins or loses in this battle, Zhang Tufu will die.
Su Hanlin didn't ask Butcher Zhang if he wanted to go, just like Zhang Xiaozu didn't ask after reading the secret letter, because they knew Butcher Zhang would definitely go.
"Grandpa, I'll go with you." Zhang Xiaozu handed the secret letter back to Butcher Zhang, grabbed the jade box in his hand, and put in his Sumeru mustard seeds.
In this way, Butcher Zhang would not be able to leave him and secretly go to Canghai City.
"——You kid." Butcher Zhang couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head when he saw Zhang Xiaopou's behavior, and could only say: "If you want to go there, let's go together."
"Grandpa, what's your physical condition now? Do you have no fighting strength at all?" Zhang Xiaozu asked.
"There is nothing in the sea of qi, as if it has never been cultivated. It is like planting wheat all over the field, which has just matured, but has been uprooted by thieves before it has time to harvest." Butcher Zhang replied.
"Can't you practice again and come back? Like the black ape, kill the Tao and then realize it again." Zhang Xiaozu suddenly grasped a glimmer of hope.
Butcher Zhang shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Grandpa is already 110 years old, and his life span is over. He has no time to practice again."
His answer shattered Zhang Xiaozu's hopes.
Zhang Xiaozu clenched his fists, with nowhere to vent the anger and sadness in his heart. He suddenly thought of the people who had called a formation to challenge Zhang Butcher outside the military camp, and asked angrily: "Those people today know that you have lost your cultivation, so they deliberately
To humiliate you?"
"That's not true. They just think that I am getting old and my fighting ability is no longer good. They want to defeat me to show me their fists and ask me not to push them too hard." Butcher Zhang said with a smile.
"What did you force them to do?" Zhang Xiaozu asked curiously.
"They were unwilling to submit to His Majesty's new policy. I was afraid that they would jump out and cause trouble to Your Majesty at a critical moment in the war, so I led a large army to patrol, intending to frighten them so that they would not dare to act rashly, but I did not expect their reaction.
a bit big."
"Grandpa, your reputation is so great that you scared them." Zhang Xiaozhu said with a dumb smile.
Butcher Zhang stroked his beard and said: "I have suppressed them in Northern Xinjiang for decades. I am afraid they also want to use this opportunity to resist and reorganize the power structure in Northern Xinjiang."
"They take it too much for granted. You are sitting on the Zhang family's army and you have the power of the empire in your hands. Even if they defeat you, what will they do?"
Zhang Tufu waved his hand and said: "You can't say that. If they can really defeat me, then their voice will definitely be stronger. Although I have the power of the empire, I can't lead an army to crush their sect because of one or two things.
Alright?"
Zhang Xiaozu nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Then will they come again to challenge tomorrow? If you haven't taken action yet, they will definitely not give up easily."
"They still have a few masters who have never shown up, and they should continue to challenge."
"That's really the best thing. Your grandchildren will fight for you. It's just a good time to practice with them to get into a subtle state of mind."
"Entering the subtle state of mind and breaking the barriers, I really didn't expect you to break through to this state so quickly." Zhang Tufu exclaimed.
Nine o'clock the next morning.
As expected, people from the six sects came.
"Beiyue faction, Ban He, please give me some advice from General Zhang."
Yesterday, the red-faced old man who said he wanted to learn Zhang Xiaopou's power was holding a pair of purple and gold hammers and calling for formation outside the camp gate.
Dong Dong Dong——!
Suddenly the war drums were beating in the camp.
Zhang Xiaozu rushed out of the camp on his thundering and flaming horse.
