Huo Xiaoshuang was chattering, and Zhang Wuyan listened patiently. She regarded Zhang Wuyan as her same age, but she didn't know that Zhang Wuyan was nearly twice as old as her.
Even if Zhang Wuyan honestly told her that he was twenty-seven years old, twenty-eight years old, twenty-nine years old, and thirty years old, Huo Xiaoshuang would just curl her lips and say that he was bragging and not drafting.
After playing with Huo Xiaoshuang for a while, Huo Zhi came over. He pretended to glare at Huo Xiaoshuang and said, "He went to your brother Fan's house again to trouble others. Why don't you go back soon!"
Huo Xiaoshuang stuck out her tongue, made a face, and ran back with a smile.
"Xiaofan, I'm troubling you again. Xiaoshuang always comes to disturb you."
Huo Zhi said apologetically, Zhang Wuyan shook his head, "Xiao Shuang didn't bother me, she can also accompany me to relieve my boredom."
Huo Zhi continued: "Xiaofan, you asked me to pay more attention to the news about the Thousand Blades Army. I just heard from my client that the Thousand Blades Army will attack Yufang Fucheng soon."
The so-called Thousand Blade Army is the rebel army within the territory of Yu Fang Mansion. They were integrated by a strong man to form a huge force called the "Thousand Blade Army".
The leader of the Thousand Blades Army was said to be a top-notch strong man. All the people sent by Yufang Fucheng to assassinate him were killed and their heads were thrown into Yufang Fucheng, which caused a huge sensation at that time.
In this world with strong force value, those who can be leaders must have excellent strength, otherwise the people below will not be convinced and will be extremely easy to be assassinated and beheaded.
"Xiaofan, do you think we should escape?"
Although Zhang Wuyan is younger than Huo Zhi, he has given Huo Zhi a lot of constructive suggestions, including many of Zhang Wuyan's designs in his woodworking shop, which are very popular, so he immediately came to Zhang Wuyan for advice.
.
"No need."
Zhang Wuyan had already predicted, "Yufang Fucheng is not weak and cannot be easily broken."
After a pause, Zhang Wuyan said again: "Even if Yufang Fucheng is breached and the Thousand Blades Army takes over, we can still live our normal lives."
Zhang Wuyan had already investigated the information about the Thousand Blade Army. They occupied the city, but they did not engage in massacres. Instead, they took the approach of resting with the people and winning people's hearts.
In this case, there is no need to escape and go to other places. The rebel army you encounter may not be as good as the Thousand Blades Army.
"We won't run if you say you won't, and even if you want to run, I don't know where to run."
Huo Zhi sighed, now the world is in chaos and there is no peace no matter where you go. It is better to stay in Yufang Fucheng. At least there is still some foundation here. At worst, you can close your carpentry shop and live for a long time relying on the money in your hands.
"We are ordinary people, we can just watch."
Zhang Wuyan said.
Huo Zhi said: "The food is ready at home, let's eat together."
"good."
Zhang Wuyan did not refuse.
Two months later.
The Thousand Blade Army surrounded Yufang Fucheng and began to prepare for the siege.
Only half a day later.
Huo Zhi ran over and said: "Xiaofan, Yufang Fucheng has won, and the Thousand Blades Army broke up and fled."
Zhang Wuyan was surprised, "So fast? So easy?"
Huo Zhi said: "It is said that a master suddenly appeared in the city and killed the leader of the Thousand Blade Army on the spot in front of the formation. The Thousand Blade Army lost its leader and lost its fighting spirit, so it had no choice but to flee."
"Master? What's your name?"
Zhang Wuyan was surprised.
The leader of the Thousand Blade Army was a top-notch person, but he was killed so easily? Could it be that the person who killed him was a strong man who surpassed the first-class level?
"It seems his name is Zheng Yun. Even the master of the palace is very polite to him."
Huo Zhi told the information he had obtained.
"Zheng Yun." Zhang Wuyan suddenly realized, "No wonder."
Huo Zhi was curious, "Xiaofan, do you know this Zheng Yun?"
Zhang Wuyan said: "Zheng Yun is a big figure in the Guangming sect, the top sect in the martial arts world. He is very powerful. It is normal that he can kill the leader of the Thousand Blade Army. I just don't know why Zheng Yun helped Yu Fang Fucheng?"
Zhang Wuyan had heard of Zheng Yun's name as early as more than ten years ago. At that time, Zheng Yun had reached the second-rate level at the age of twenty and was a peerless genius in the martial arts world.
Later, the more Zheng Yun practiced, the stronger he became, and he even appeared on the Wu Kingdom's "Genius List".
The people on the Tianjiao list are all masters under the age of thirty and whose strength has reached the first-class level.
Two years ago, Zheng Yun was removed from the list of geniuses because he was over 30 years old.
It is understandable for a person like him to kill the leader of the Thousand Blades Army. After all, he comes from a top sect and has a profound foundation. Even if they are both top-notch, the Thousand Blades Army is no match for him.
But Zhang Wuyan didn't understand why Zheng Yun would help Yufang Fucheng.
Zheng Yun represents the will of the Guangming faction. He helps Yufang Fucheng, which is equivalent to the Guangming faction helping Yufang Fucheng. Does the Guangming faction want to help the court, or do they want to take the opportunity to do something?
"It's not my business?"
Zhang Wuyan laughed dumbly, feeling that he was overthinking. No matter what the Guangming faction wanted to do, it had nothing to do with him, as long as the Guangming faction didn't come to kill him and the Huo family.
For the rest, let them go about their business, Zhang Wuyan just sat back and watched the situation change.
What happened next confirmed Zhang Wuyan's thoughts.
Disciples of the Guangming Sect entered Yufangfu City in large numbers, massacred all kinds of disobedient people, and wooed officials and wealthy people in Yufangfu City, as if they wanted to use Yufangfu as their base to take over the world.
"The Guangming Sect intervenes in the disputes in the world. If it succeeds, it will gain the world. If it fails... haha, there will be no Guangming Sect in the future."
The Guangming faction mobilized their own power and began to continuously manage the Yufang Mansion, and gathered up the Thousand Blade Army that had previously fled.
More than two years passed like this, and Zhang Wuyan reached the age of twenty-nine.
In the small courtyard.
A figure flew around, the sword light flickered, and the wind surged.
[Add one to the proficiency of "Blowing Cloud Sword Technique".]
In the past two years or so, Zhang Wuyan has practiced the "Blowing Cloud Sword Technique", and today he has practiced it to a perfect state.
"It is better to have weapons than to have no weapons."
"It will take nearly two and a half years to cultivate "Xuanhe Zhenqi" to the third level of perfection."
"It's harder to improve your medical skills. There are no medical books to read anymore."
Zhang Wuyan sheathed his sword, "Forget it, don't think about this, go see how the Huo family is doing now."
More than a year ago, he randomly found a reason to stay away from the Huo family, so as not to let the Huo family discover that his appearance would not age, but he still secretly protected the Huo family.
