capital
In the study of the Zhang family, a white-haired old man with three "middle-aged" people of the Mandate of Heaven sat silently opposite each other, leaning against the door, an old-fashioned floor-to-ceiling self-striking bell clicked and walked, and the four people were like four statues, without a sound.
The current patriarch of the Zhang family, the former general of Huaguo, Zhang Defeng, frowned, waiting for a son and two nephews with cold eyes, and his sword-like eyes seemed to want to pierce a hole in them.
"Dad, it's not what you think, in fact, it's the result of a few of us discussing this matter together." It's not a thing to always stare at each other like this, after all, the old man is seventy or eighty years old, and it would be bad if he was angry, so the eldest Zhang Qingguo finally couldn't help but open his mouth and explained to his father.
"Not what I want? Yes? Coveted other people's things, and in the end they had to send them to death, that's how we taught you?! Our Zhang family has been upright for generations, and as a result, we let you do this kind of thing?! Yes?! The old man waited for the other party to speak, as soon as the person spoke, the three walnuts in his hand were thrown over, and the three middle-aged people's bodies flashed unconsciously, but they forced themselves not to move, and finally the three walnuts smashed on the left side of the heads of the three people.
"Ouch~ Is it fashionable to take three walnuts now?" The youngest Zhang Qingye covered his forehead and muttered in a low voice, asking his brother Zhang Qingzong next to him to give him an elbow.
"Take three walnuts because you three are not angry! Tick that list for me! No matter how quiet, the distance is so close, and Zhang Defeng, who is not deaf, scolded his nephew, and his loud voice was comparable to a bronze bell, which made the three brothers secretly cry in their hearts, and at the same time rubbed their ears, and turned their reproachful eyes on the younger brother who was the most troublesome and the youngest.
"Can't tick! Uncle, listen to us, it's not that we have bad intentions, it's actually for the sake of that girl! Zhang Qingye, who was beaten by his two brothers since he was a child, was pressed by the eyes of the two brothers, and suddenly became rebellious, and said angrily, and saw his uncle pick up his ironwood crutches, which were more decorative than practical, and quickly softened his tone.
"Put P!" Zhang Defeng's eyes widened, he picked up his crutches and drew a circle and pulled over to the three people opposite.
"Dad! It's true! You don't know, that girl's test results are level 4 in physical skills and level 3 in mental power. The three brothers hurriedly jumped back, jumped over the sofa and stuck to the wall to avoid this catastrophe, afraid that the old man would come again, Zhang Qingguo hurriedly told his father the reason they considered.
"Uncle, you also heard the two old men say, when Jing Jing was just sensible, she basically learned anything two or three times, and then she went to school, and the old men found out that she almost never forgot it, but told her to hide some." Although Zhang Qingjia, the second child who was sandwiched in the middle, was silent, but once he spoke, he went straight to the center of the topic, and in a few words, the old man put down his crutches and stood in place and pondered.
The words stopped here, the three brothers looked at each other, and when they saw that there was a door, Zhang Qingguo and Zhang Qingye hurriedly gave their brothers a look and asked him to continue.
"In fact, Jingjing Shuangshang is very high, and her body coordination is good, Uncle Liu said before that if she concentrates on martial arts, she may achieve higher achievements than us in the future, uncle, do you know what this means? That is, she is likely to be a 'pillar'. Zhang Qingjia bowed lightly to the two brothers, stared at his uncle and continued.
"Yes, uncle, think about the things she brought herself, according to the information we have, there may not be such good things in third-level civilizations......" Zhang Qingye saw that the uncle had not opened his mouth to refute the words of the second brother, and hurriedly spoke out to help beat the side drum.
"Although the Alien Alliance is free and open to us on the interstellar network, we know too little about the permissions, and the information on how to develop physical skills and spiritual power is almost blank, and going out of the earth is the first step to contact new information." The son knows the son best, and when Zhang Qingguo saw that his father had stopped moving, he knew that he listened to their explanation, and took the opportunity to explain their thoughts in detail.
Seeing that their father (uncle) still didn't react, the three brothers finally breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at each other's other two brothers, and winked at each other at the same time, which was a code between brothers, which means "Well done!" â
Zhang Defeng thought for a while, and sighed: "I understand what you mean, but do you dare to touch your conscience to guarantee that you really have no selfishness?" â
looked at the three children and nephews majestically, just as the juniors knew him well, Zhang Defeng also knew a lot about several children, their hearts may not be bad, but if there was no idea of harvesting benefits hidden in it, he definitely didn't believe it.
"Such a little girl, younger than your son, let her go out of the earth alone, if there is a ...... How can you be worthy of your three masters and four masters? Don't forget how the two old men got there! If it weren't for the fight for that thing for a few of you rabbit cubs, they would not have hurt their foundation if they had successfully advanced, and they would have lived for at least fifty or sixty years! â
Zhang Defeng shook his head, feeling lost and regretful, if it weren't for the death of the third uncle and the fourth uncle, the Zhang family would not have started to go downhill, and these children would not have moved their thoughts to a little girl, who was the benefactor of the Zhang family and the top of the hearts of the two uncles.
The three brothers lowered their heads at the same time, how could they be selfless?
Who is Wen Jing? is the adopted daughter of their Zhang family, and their Zhang family naturally follows the loan, with the nurturing feelings of the two uncles for her, even if she has a grudge in her heart in the future, she will also support the Zhang family to return the favor.
As long as Wen Jing goes out and shines a little bit, they can operate here, and they can fly higher and faster by borrowing an east wind, and when the time comes, whether it is the New Federation, or the Nova One, they can even get more or less a say in the Galactic Alliance.
As for why he has so much confidence in Wen Jing, firstly, he is really optimistic about this talented little girl, and secondly, because this is just a gamble without capital.
Even if Wen Jing silently annihilated on Nova 1 in the future, or finally returned to Earth in disgrace, what would their Zhang family have to lose? It's a big deal to feed her for the rest of her life! The Zhang family is not bad for this ration!
Thinking so, the old man may not know what they mean, but the kung fu on the surface still has to be done, Zhang Qingguo scratched his head, raised his head again and explained: "Nova No. 1 is just a springboard, we hope that Jingjing can go to a wider universe, she has this ability, she should be given a broader stage, and there is also hope that she can find news of her family." â
Zhang Defeng glared at his son, half loud, his face was depressed, he knew in his heart that the three children were so determined, even if he fought to the end, he couldn't get it back, but he still lightly sarcastically said to his son: "Is it really just for this?" Isn't it because of your daughter-in-law and Komatsu? â
Zhang Qingguo was stunned for a moment, his face changed for a while, and finally he didn't explain anything, and slowly lowered his head.
