Chapter 5 Borrowing for Use
When night falls, everything is silent.
A light figure jumped out of the Xiao family's compound, and after a few dodges, it disappeared.
This person stopped at the corner of the street, the nearby night market was still half open, and the bright red lantern illuminated the person's purple-black robe and slightly green cheeks, this person was Yu Zhang.
Yu Zhang's mission was based on one of the purposes of this trip: to investigate the case of the disappearance of the spy. I took advantage of the night to come out and check it out.
However, this trip, except for the bustling night market, I really can't investigate anything.
Walking on the lively street, Yu Zhang suddenly yawned, feeling a little tired all over.
After running around all day, and experiencing long-distance spatial teleportation, my head was dizzy.
I thought: check it out next time. returned to the VIP room prepared for him by the Xiao family and slept peacefully.
But within a few hours of sleep, Yu Zhang was woken up by a series of quarrels.
I don't know whose children didn't take care of it, and early in the morning, they made noise in the courtyard.
"My brother will definitely win the hunting competition!" shouted a little sister.
"Your brother can't do it! My sister is holding your brother down. A little brother retorted.
In the ensuing controversy, several more children were added, all fighting for their brothers and sisters. Several people quarreled together, disturbing people's dreams.
Yu Zhang wanted to go out and get rid of this group of naughty children.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw that the stupid fourth son was also here.
At this time, a child said to him: "Silly big man, you have also reached the age of competition, why don't you go to the competition, other big children in the family want to participate, you can also go." ”
As soon as he said this, several other children also surrounded him, shouting for him to compete.
The foolish fourth son scratched his head, smirked, and said inarticulately: "I... I... No...".
Before he finished speaking, a crisp voice suddenly came from a distance: "I helped him agree!"
The children followed the sound and saw a young man in a purple and black robe walking slowly in this direction.
"What qualifications do you have to help him agree, you're not his father!" cried out one of the children.
Although they had seen Yu Zhang at yesterday's family banquet and knew that his identity was expensive, the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, not to mention that Yu Zhang looked only about ten years older than them, and he was still a big child.
"I'm not qualified, but is his father qualified?" Yu Zhang approached, looked at them condescendingly, and said with a smile.
"He... Of course his father has!" The children were a little timid when they saw him so close, but they replied anyway.
"Isn't that enough? Let's go and find your father. After Yu Zhang finished speaking, he took the fourth son's wrist and walked out of the courtyard.
Yu Zhang, as a dignified spirit general, has so much strength, holding the fourth son, he is not allowed to resist at all.
In this way, the fourth prince was dragged towards the lobby of the Xiao family.
Along the way, many clansmen and domestic servants, seeing this scene, all had an attitude of watching the show, and followed, and did not forget to laugh on their lips: "I have long said that these four sons have a problem with their IQ, and it is better to lock them up like their mothers." If you don't listen, now that you have provoked your Excellency, I'm afraid the whole family will suffer because of this!"
"I think that both their mother and son are obscure stars, and they should be expelled from the house as soon as possible, so as not to leave a disaster for a hundred years. ”
In this way, the battle behind Yu Zhang and the fourth prince became bigger and bigger, and finally attracted most of the family to gather in the lobby.
Idle people in the lobby were not allowed to enter, so they waited outside the lobby, looking inside from time to time.
The head of the Xiao family is named Xiao Ying, a middle-aged man who is energetic, he sits on the top of the hall, and looks quite majestic.
At this time, he saw that the distinguished guest of the Void Heaven Hall was dragging his foolish fourth son over, and his face was cloudy.
Xiao Ying asked, "Young Master Yu Zhang, dare to ask what mistake did your son make and offend you?"
Yu Zhang's face remained kind and smiled: "That's not true, but I have a reluctant request." ”
After making sure that the stupid son didn't cause trouble, Patriarch Xiao's face softened a lot, and asked, "If Young Master Yu Zhang has any requests, he will definitely do it." ”
Yu Zhangdao: "I heard that you are going to hold a hunting tournament in the city, right?"
"Yes, it's not been a few days. Xiao Ying replied.
"It sounds interesting, and I'd like to do it too. Yu Zhang said.
"This hunting tournament is aimed at the forces within Takakawa Castle. Since Young Master Yu wants to participate, I can help you sign up and arrange a reasonable name for a distant relative of the Xiao family. ”
"Well, whatever, but I'm coming to you primarily for another matter. Yu Zhang said slowly.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Ying was a little puzzled.
"Lend me your fourth son!"
As soon as Yu Zhang's words came out, including Xiao Ying, the head of the family, everyone on the lookers was dumbfounded for a moment.
After they came to their senses, everyone discussed in a whisper: "What does this distinguished guest want to do with the fourth prince? Could it be that he wants to do a human spiritual experiment?"
"I think it's very likely, after all, this fool has nothing to do but have a life. ”
There are different opinions, but what they say does not decide anything, and the decision is only made by the head of the family.
Xiao Ying stared at Yu Zhang's sworn appearance, not knowing what he was having.
Although these four sons are useless fools, after all, they are also his own flesh and blood, if they really want to harm him, even if the person who comes is the young master of the mysterious Void Heaven Palace, he will not compromise easily.
The head of the family asked, "Dare to ask Young Master Yu what are your plans to borrow Si'er?"
Yu Zhang lifted up the fourth prince who was sitting stupidly on the ground, and pushed him forward, pushing him to the center of everyone's eyes, and said word by word: "Participate in the hunting competition." ”
Hearing this, the face of the head of the family became gloomy again, and he said sternly: "Young master, can I know that my son's spiritual cultivation is completely wasted, and even an ordinary person can't beat it, let alone hunting spirit beasts, this is undoubtedly going to death." ”
The bottom also exploded, and there was a lot of discussion.
Some secretly snickered and gloated.
Some of them showed regret on their faces, thinking that although the fourth prince was stupid, he was stupid and did not die, so why did he want his life for no reason?
Yu Zhang's eyes glanced slightly, and he took a look at the faces of those who were snickering, and sure enough, they were all people who had interests with the fourth lady's mother and son. Like the other three ladies.
Xiao Ying also clenched his fists, clenched his teeth, and endured patiently, not letting his temper explode.
Seeing this, Yu Zhang did not panic in the slightest, but took a big step forward, walked to the side of the fourth prince in front, put his arm around his shoulder, and said, "You don't have to worry about him, I will protect him." ”
Most of the servants and family members thought that Yu Zhang was just a young master of a powerful family, and they didn't know what he was capable of.
The face is full of green, and he doesn't look like he's in his teens, at such an age, even if the background is strong, it won't be strong.
Then what qualifications does he have to threaten to protect this completely stupid fourth prince? I'm afraid that in the place where spirit beasts gather, it will be difficult to protect himself.
Yu Zhang smiled and said nothing, only staring calmly at the location of the Xiao family master.
Others didn't know, but Xiao Ying knew best, how huge the gap between the power called the Void Heaven Temple and their Xiao family was.
Just a few cheats and a few tips made the Xiao family, a third-rate family, one of the three major families in Gaochuan City.
It was obvious that the Void Heaven Temple could easily elevate them to such a level, and it would definitely be able to destroy them casually.
If they don't meet the requirements of the Great Young Master of the Void Heaven Palace, they will be angered, and the entire Xiao family will be wiped out.
As the head of the family, he naturally has to think through everything, and it is best to think clearly at all levels down to the worst.
In this way, the safest choice is to agree to Yu Zhang's request, sacrifice the fourth son, and preserve the prosperity of the entire Xiao family.
Besides, maybe the fourth son will be able to save his life, and if he is lucky enough, he will survive the hunting......
There was even a hint of the thought in his heart that "the fourth son is already abolished anyway and is useless", but this idea is too realistic and terrifying, and he forcibly left it behind as soon as it appeared.
Xiao Ying pondered for a long time, and the people around him also looked at him nervously, looking forward to that answer.
Finally, after a long time, the head of the Xiao family finally spoke.
He slapped the armchair with his big hand and said sternly, "Then I'll leave it to you!"
