The Sacred Ding Chapter 314: Challenge
Although Zhaoyangzhai is the place where the people of Zhaoyang Pavilion and the Marquis’s residence live uprightly within the jurisdiction of the Liquan General Administration, Chen Hai’s identity in Liquan and Juquanling is special, even when he will After Juquanling was handed over, his residence in Zhongfeng remained.
Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han and his son left the heavily guarded house and followed Wu Meng to the middle peak of Juquan Ridge.
No one was seen all the way, I could see the smoke rising from the northern foot of the mountain, several furnaces were tall and big, but the guards were even tighter, and there was a large defensive formation surrounding a small area of the northern foot. In order to show that this is the most critical place in Liquan.
Climbing up halfway up the middle foothills of Juquan Ridge, you can see a plum forest under the cliff from a distance. The stream flows out of the plum forest and is hidden by several bamboo houses. Since Zhang Xiong has not been abandoned, even if he is farther away, as long as there is no obstruction, he can see Chen Hai in the Meilin, wearing a brown gown, with a more refined temperament, sitting in front of the stone stream. , But was sharpening a huge halberd with a black blade.
Chen Hai stood by a slim and beautiful beauty, who seemed to be complaining in a low voice that Chen Haichu returned to Liquan. No one was seen, but he ran to Stony Brook for joy.
On the side of the half-human lake stone, there is a spirit sword with a purple scale sheath. Its brilliance is faint. It seems that there is a fierce beast hidden in the sheath, and it will come out of the sheath to eat human flesh and blood.
This is exactly the purple stirrup spirit sword that Zhang Xiong has used for thirty years.
After Zhang Xiong went out of the city and surrendered, the mysterious armor and magic weapon spirit sword were naturally handed over, but he didn't expect to meet the purple stirrup spirit sword that had been used for thirty years here.
Of course, with Chen Hai’s combat exploits, Ye Qinglin also had no excuse to refuse Chen Hai’s taking away this low-grade spirit sword.
Thinking of the purple stirrup spirit sword accompanying him for nearly thirty years after he cultivated the Taoist Pill, Zhang Xiong is also full of emotions now that he has changed hands.
As a prisoner, Zhang Xiong is grateful that Chen Hai did not embarrass his family and relatives even if he did not have the consciousness of the prisoner. He stepped forward and thought of saying a few words of gratitude. However, he walked up the stream and walked into the plum forest. Zhang Xiong suddenly realized The purple stirrup spirit sword also revealed a trace of proficiency that made him tremble.
Chen Hai didn't even erase his spirit aura from the purple stirrup spirit sword and re-practise!
What does he want to do? He didn't simply abolish his cultivation base, and even kept the spirit sword he used to sacrifice himself intact. What did Chen Hai want to do? Didn't he know that his strength would increase sharply by combining with the purple stirrup sword. More than double?
Zhang Xiong was there for a while, unable to guess what Chen Hai meant.
"Zhanghou is here..." Chen Hai seemed to have just returned to his senses at this time. He picked up the halberd in his hand and picked up the purple stirrup sword with the tip of the halberd and flew towards Zhang Xiong.
Zhang Xiong took the purple stirrup sword in his hand, feeling at a loss for a while, unable to guess Chen Hai's intentions.
"I don’t talk nonsense with Zhang Hou. Zhang Hou will be able to defeat me today with the purple stirrup sword in his hand. From then on, the sky will be wide and unrestrained. The Zhang clan people are willing to stay in Liquan to buy a home, or think To join another place, or want to go out of Yanzhou and find another place to lay a new foundation. Neither I nor Zhaoyang Pavilion will hinder it."
Chen Hai stretched the black halberd in front of him, took a step forward slightly, raised his brows and said,
"But if Zhang Hou can't defeat the halberd in my hand today, please let Zhang Hou put down other thoughts and practice in this mountain and field with peace of mind; in addition, the Zhang clan should also put aside the idea of luxury and pleasure, or Enlisting as a soldier, or entering a workshop as a craftsman, or stepping into the fields to cultivate, or into the mountains and forests for fishing and hunting, you can experience these ordinary and hard civilian life here..."
Zhang Xiong was staring at the scene like a stone carving, and he didn't seem to hear Chen Hai's words.
Zhang Han's heart is surging. Regardless of what Chen Hai's thoughts are, whether it is the previous confrontation between the two armies or the prisoner of the criminals who accompanied Qin Tongshan, he believes that since Chen Hai has spoken out, he should still Those who can keep their promises, Chen Hai really doesn't have to play with them in words.
This means that as long as the father defeats Chen Hai, the Zhang clan will have a chance to rise again. Three thousand people may even detour from the depths of the desert to meet the uncle Zhang Jun in the Tahe Oasis.
At that time, the Zhang clan will still be the dominant sect in the eastern region of Jinzhou.
Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Han couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, looking at his father eagerly.
Zhang Xiong took the purple stirrup sword, the green veins were exposed, as if the hands of the old pine skin were trembling, and his whole body was petrified, so that others could not notice the slightest breath leaking, and naturally they could not guess What was in his mind at this moment.
Time may have passed too much, and it was too long for Zhang Han to breathe.
Zhang Xiong sat down on the ground, placed the purple stirrup sword on the stone ground in front of him, and sighed: "Zhang Xiong said that he has some accomplishments in kendo, but it is hard to beat Master Shaohou with the power of swallowing heaven and earth. Zhang Xiong is convinced that he admits defeat. However, Zhang’s crimes of arbitrarily arranging military affairs should be punished, so please ask the young master to deal with it, or the farmer, or the soldier, or the hunter, or the fisherman, or the craftsman and weaver, all deserve it, Zhang Xiong Jue has no complaints."
At this time, it was Zhang Han's turn to stand there like a stone sculpture, wondering how his father said he was a master of swordsmanship, how could he admit defeat without even fighting.
Even if his father has no ambitions, he has no intention of leading his tribe to move west to the Tahe Tibetan and Qiang country to lay a new foundation. Even if he stays in Liquan and settles down in his home, his father can defeat Chen Hai and help the Zhang clan in Lili. Quan based on laying a foundation to win a better future for the Zhang family, instead of struggling as a sinner at the bottom of Liquan.
What's more, his father admits defeat. Not only does he have to keep his promise and be imprisoned in the mountains and wilds, but the children of the Zhang clan also have to do hard labor such as farming, weaving, fishing and hunting in Liquan.
Zhang Han couldn't understand why, his father said he had extraordinary kendo attainments, why didn't he fight?
Chen Hai looked at Zhang Xiong for a long while, and signaled that he could bring the purple stirrup sword down the mountain, what kind of arrangements the Zhang family wanted to make, or what kind of work the Zhang family wanted to do in Liquan, he passed it for a moment For two days, someone will arrange it.
Zhang Xiong didn't say much. He picked up the purple stirrup sword and took his youngest son Zhang Han down the mountain, but compared to the staggering up the mountain, Zhang Xiong's shoulders were much straighter when he came down the mountain.
"The Zhang family rebelled for a short period of time, but at any rate they have been king in Pinglu for more than a year. The children of the Zhang family will stay in Liquan with peace of mind, and will they be willing to join Liquan as the children of civilians?" After Zhang Xiong went down the mountain and disappeared into the pine forest, Wu Meng asked worriedly.
Although the time of Zhang's self-reliance in Pinglu was short, he was barely considered a royal family, which would lift the hearts of Zhang's children.
Zhang Xiong just didn't have the desire to win the competition. He must have understood in his heart that Chen Hai has done everything possible to treat him with courtesy. No matter how high it is, it will be difficult for Chen Hai to confess to Ye Qinglin. It will be ugly; and those who are really mindful of Zhang's children may still be able to restrain their temper in a short time, but Wu Meng is still worried that the mediocre children of Zhang's clan will become trouble.
The near is inferior, and the far is resentful. This is probably the characteristic of all mediocre people.
As for the large clan with more than 3,000 people, direct descendants and relatives, the mediocre generation usually accounts for the majority.
These mediocre people usually do not reflect on their own guilt.
If Chen Hai really cruelly abolished the cultivation base of Zhang Xiong and others, imprisoned them, and demoted everyone up and down the Zhang clan to slaves, these mediocre people would not dare to breed resentment. It is precisely the middle road. The most difficult to implement.
The Zhang clan was not broken up. Zhang Xiong and others still have strong cultivation skills in the Ming Aperture Realm and even Dao Dan Realm, especially in Liquan. At this time, Zhang Xiong’s cultivation is the highest level. The children, from the status of the prince and grandson of the beautiful clothes, suddenly fell into the common people who can only earn a living through hard work, and it is easy to breed complaints in their hearts and become a factor of instability.
At this moment, Zhou Jingyuan, Shen Kun, Su Yuan, Zhao Shan and others have also climbed to Zhongfeng, and they also expressed the same concerns as Wu Meng.
Although Chen Hai moved the relatives of Cao Feng, Zhou Jun, Wu Meng, Ge Tong, Zhou Jingyuan and others into Juquanling, the roots of Cao, Zhou, Wu, Ge and others were too shallow.
Even if the capture of forty to fifty thousand refugees has been well integrated with the Cao, Zhou and other tribes in the past two or three years, it is difficult to get too deep into the roots of the clan before the rise of outstanding children.
At this time, Zhang Xiong's clan merged into Juquanling. No matter what Zhang Xiong thinks, it will cause Zhang Xiong's clan to dominate in Juquanling. Even if Zhang Jun was allowed to move west in the Pinglu Oasis, the Zhang clan divided nearly half of his children. At this time, the Zhang clan that moved into Juquanling was still somewhat stronger.
In addition to Zhang Xiong's own cultivation in the middle stage of the Dao Dan realm, he has two of his seven children, one is the second son, Zhang Yong, and the other is the youngest son, Zhang Han, who opened up the sea of knowledge and entered the Ming Aperture realm. This time there are also young girls. Zhang Lan hopes to step into the Ming Aperture Realm.
As for Zhang Xiong's seven direct disciples, three of them entered the Aperture Stage, and the other four hoped to enter the Aperture Stage.
The Zhang clan~IndoMTL.com~ no matter where it is placed, it is a powerful force that cannot be ignored.
In comparison, it’s not considered the Jingjue Protectorate that is 20,000 to 30,000 miles away. At this time, Zhaoyang Pavilion Hou’s Palace possesses the powerful Aperture Realm in Juquanling, only Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang. , Su Yuan, Han Jian, Hang Wendang and others.
What's more, Juquanling (Liquan) was co-administered by the Zhaoyang Pavilion Hou’s Mansion and the nine families. The nine families including Dong and Miao, and the influence on behalf of the eight clans of Beijing County and the influence in Liquan were not at all The Mojiasi under the family would not really want to see the Zhang family completely and completely integrated into the Zhaoyang Pavilion.
If they do things behind the scenes, things can become tricky.
Chen Hai smiled slightly: "The nine families are destined to do things, so let them do things well-Zhang family and affiliated clans will have one family in Baishiling, two in Liquan city, and two in Miaowangling. One family, let them win over..."
Zhou Jingyuan patted his forehead, yelling for this very clever strategy, and said: "The nine tribes have unpredictable intentions. The children and direct disciples of Zhang Xiong’s knees are scattered and open to them. Each of the nine tribes may be able to win over one or two people, but In fact, no one can draw the whole Zhang clan away! On the contrary, it will cause some contradictions within the Zhang clan, and eventually they can stay in Juquanling with peace of mind and take root..."
