Volume 2 The Remnant of Time Chapter 50 Defection
Zhang Houren's words made the main room suddenly silent.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the relationship between the Zhang family and the Chu family is the same, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can come to congratulate sincerely, even the three-year-old child shook his head when he heard it.
But when he said this, refusing to do so would make him seem to be a child.
Chu Zhuang's brows furrowed, and a smile appeared on his face.
"What is the head of the Zhang family talking about, the Zhang family has a lot of affairs, and I am also afraid that the head of the Zhang family will not have time to get out, so I don't dare to trouble."
Zhang Houren smiled when he heard this: "Busy is really busy, but you and I are world friends, such a happy event, I have to take the time to come here even if I have a big event?" ”
The smile on Chu Zhuang's face was even worse: "Haha, yes, yes, this thing is old and confused!" ”
"Come on, take a seat for the head of the Zhang family!"
If you don't know the grievances between the two clans, and the outsiders who glimpse this scene will really think that the conversation between the two old friends will really be the conversation between the two old friends.
And Zhang Houren, who had Chu Zhuang's consent, was not polite at all, and led his son to sit down in the arranged position.
It's just that their arrival made the atmosphere of the scene a lot stranger, and the feeling of joy just now suddenly dissipated, and everyone's cups stopped, obviously worried.
But Zhang Houren didn't notice it, or he didn't care, but like a master, he greeted everyone: "Don't look at me, today is the big day of the Chu family, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you congratulate Old Chu?" ”
Having said that, how dare the people around them make a mistake in such a turbulent scene at will?
Fortunately, Chu Zhuang got up at this time and raised his wine glass to thank everyone.
sighed that it was not easy for the Chu family to get to where it is today, and thanked everyone for being there today, and said some words whose meaning is that everyone will take care of each other in the future.
This made the slightly embarrassing atmosphere on the scene improve a lot.
From time to time, someone stepped forward to toast Chu Zhuang, lamenting that he had worked hard for most of his life and finally looked forward to seeing the moon in the clouds, these words were naturally mixed with some hypocrisy, but they did name Chu Zhuang's heart.
Chu Zhuang was in a good mood, and he didn't shirk the toast of the comer, and he was already a little drunk between his eyebrows.
He suddenly looked at Chu Zhaozhao on the side and raised his wine glass: "Zhaozhao." ”
Seeing this, Chu Zhaozhao hurriedly got up, but heard Chu Zhuang say, "You sit!" ”
Chu Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, secretly feeling that something was wrong, it could be seen that his grandfather looked determined, and he was a little drunk, he didn't dare to refute after all, and sat down a little uneasily.
"This generation of grandfathers respects you." Chu Zhuang said at this time.
As soon as these words came out, Chu Zhaozhao's face changed, and he hurriedly got up again: "Grandpa, what are these words, how can you respect me!" ”
"Sit down!" Chu Zhuang was a little unhappy at this time.
Seeing this, Chu Zhaozhao hurriedly sat down again, but heard the other party say again: "You can afford this glass of wine!" ”
"I ......" Chu Zhaozhao was already uneasy, and when he heard this, his face became even more panicked.
But others don't know her thoughts, they just think that she cares about the difference between the old and the young, but they think that she has an extraordinary heart, and she still sticks to her heart when she has such an opportunity.
"Zhaozhao, just listen to grandpa."
At this time, Chu Yanjun on the side also said with a smile: "Grandpa is happy today, don't spoil the fun." ”
When it came to this, although Chu Zhaozhao's face was ugly, he could only sit back with his head sold.
"You've worked hard all these years."
Chu Zhuang said at this time, his face showing emotion.
"It's only six years old, and when others were six years old, they were still coquettish in their parents' arms, but you had to stay alone in that unfamiliar place."
"Every year when you come back for a few days, you have to leave in a hurry, grandpa knows that you are hard, but he doesn't dare to say a word to let you rest......"
Speaking of this, Chu Zhuang's eyes were a little red, but he seemed to feel that today's scene was not suitable for such sensationalism, so he suppressed the temperament of continuing to recall, and after sorting out his emotions, he said: "Fortunately, everything has passed, and you are also angry, and now you have the inheritance of the Heavenly Hanging Mountain Spirit Sword." ”
"Big brother! On a good day, don't think about the unhappy things in the past, come and I will join you in toasting us to Zhaozhao. Chu Xian, the helmsman of the Third Courtyard on the side, also raised the cup in his hand and said loudly, his appearance also looked very happy.
"Yes, yes, the third child is right, come, let's toast Zhaozhao together!" Chu Zhuang said this, and also raised his wine glass.
Although Chu Zhaozhao felt that it was a little inappropriate to be toasted by the elders, but at this point, she could only raise her glass.
All three of them drank all the wine in their glasses, and the atmosphere of the scene was also set off to the extreme.
Everyone laughed or sighed that the Chu family came to operate, or said that Chu Zhaozhao had achieved an extraordinary achievement.
And at this moment, Zhang Houren, who had been watching from the wall, suddenly got up and said: "Hahaha, everyone is so happy today, why don't you let Miss Zhaozhao pull out the spirit sword and open the eyes of everyone present!" ”
In this way, the wine has been three rounds.
Most people were a little drunk, and when they heard this, they didn't think much about it, and they started to coax.
Although Chu Zhuang didn't like this Zhang Houren, he simply looked at Chu Zhaozhao in such an atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Zhaozhao, in this case, you can take out your spirit sword and let you see it, grandpa, I am also very curious, let us all open our eyes!" ”
Chu Zhaozhao's face changed suddenly the moment she heard this, she buried her head lower, not knowing how to respond to Chu Zhuang's words.
More than ten breaths of time passed.
The commotion of everyone gradually died out, but Chu Zhaozhao still sat in place with his head down.
Everyone was a little puzzled, but Zhang Houren, who proposed it, squinted at Chu Zhaozhao, who was obviously restless, and a smile broke out between his eyebrows: "Miss Zhaozhao, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Could it be that we are afraid that our people will snatch the sword? Or ......"
Speaking of this, he paused intentionally, and said: "Miss Zhaozhao doesn't have any Heavenly Hanging Mountain Spirit Sword in her hand at all!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Chu Zhaozhao's body trembled suddenly.
Everyone present also looked at the girl with her head bowed with strange expressions.
Chu Zhuang also frowned, he has had many confrontations with Zhang Houren over the years, and he knows that this person is shrewd, and he will never do anything unprepared, if he dares to provoke at this time, he must have his reliance.
Thinking of this, the old man's heart suddenly felt uneasy, he looked sideways at Chu Zhaozhao on the side, and the girl's panicked appearance made Chu Zhuang, who had retreated by three points, feel more and more strange.
"Zhaozhao! What the hell is going on? He asked in a deep voice, his tone a little more stern.
Chu Zhaozhao naturally couldn't respond, her body began to tremble, and her face was a little pale.
"I'll help you answer that!" And at this moment, a hearty voice suddenly came, it was Zhang Houren's son, Zhang Quan.
He got up and walked to the center of the main room.
"Three months ago, I had the privilege of meeting Senior Sister Zhaozhao."
"At that time, she was still an outer disciple, and the skill of contemplating the sword cultivation had not yet been completed, and in these three months, the sect had neither recruited inner disciples, nor opened the Yaoguang Sword Pool."
"It happened that today, my father and I were guests at Chu Tianque's mansion, and when I heard him talk about it, I became suspicious in my heart, and I was afraid that Chu Lao would be deceived by the villain, so I dared to come uninvited."
Speaking of this, Zhang Quan's gaze fell on the blade of the sword that Chu Zhaozhao put aside, and then he said: "I deliberately sensed it just now, Senior Sister Zhaozhao's sword cultivation technique has indeed been broken, but the sword obtained has no spiritual sense, and it is definitely not the thing of my Yaoguang Sword Pool. ”
"You talk nonsense!" As soon as these words came out, some people from the Chu family immediately stood up to refute them.
"Nonsense?" Zhang Quan narrowed his eyes, "You can tell if it's true or false." ”
After saying this, his figure flashed, and he actually killed Chu Zhaozhao straight forward, seeing that the posture was to grab the sword.
And Chu Zhaozhao was already in turmoil, he was unexpectedly surprised by Zhang Quan's move, seeing that the other party rushed to kill him, Chu Zhaozhao's face changed suddenly, but he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Zheng!
And at this moment, a light trembling sword roared out.
A long black sword stretched out from the side and went straight to Zhang Quan's front door.
Zhang Quan's heart was shocked, his steps forward suddenly paused, the scabbard behind his back trembled, and a snow-white long sword suddenly came out of the sheath, and the awe-inspiring sword intent gathered on the blade of the sword, and was swung out by Zhang Quan.
Clang!
Just hear a muffled sound.
Black and white swords collide.
Zhang Quan's body retreated a few steps before he stood firm.
He looked strangely at the owner of the black sword in front of him, an ordinary-looking young man.
"Who are you?" He asked in a deep voice, but there was some vigilance in his heart.
Fang Cai's fight, although he was in a hurry, but the moment the sword blades collided, he could clearly feel that the opponent's sword moves were fierce and with a rolling murderous aura, which was definitely not something that ordinary martial artists could have.
Chu Qingxiao held the Linyuan Sword in his hand, stared at the other party with gloomy eyes, and whispered in his mouth: "What do you have to do with it?" ”
Zhang Quan was not annoyed when he heard this, but said with a smile: "Someone is relying on the name of Tianhang Mountain to swagger and deceive in Wancheng, this move is insulting to the master, I am a disciple of Ganquan Peak of Tianhang Mountain, so I can't stand by coldly." ”
"Who Your Excellency is naturally has nothing to do with me, but Your Excellency prevents me from justifying my teacher's name, that is, I am the enemy of Tianhang Mountain!"
Chu Qingxiao frowned slightly: "You can't represent Tianhang Mountain, and you don't need it to press me, and Zhaozhao didn't swagger!" ”
"No?" Zhang Quan sneered, and looked past Chu Qingxiao to look at the people around him.
"If not, then why are you here today? On the invitation in your hands, isn't it written to celebrate Senior Sister Zhaozhao's inheritance of the Spirit Sword, so I invite you to come and watch the ceremony? ”
"Since you are invited to come and watch the ceremony, why don't you take out the spirit sword and let you take a look?"
"Then since you can't take out the spirit sword, and you put down the banquet with great fanfare, it's not a swagger, what is it!?"
"Is it difficult or the news made up by my Zhang family to let you come to watch the ceremony?"
Zhang Quan said this, but he still tore his face, and everyone in the room was also suspicious, looking at Chu Zhaozhao's gaze became more and more strange, and his mouth couldn't help but whisper.
Chu Zhuang at the main table had a pale face, he sank his brows, looked at the pale Chu Zhaozhao and asked, "Zhaozhao!" What the hell is going on? ”
Chu Zhaozhao raised his head and looked at his grandfather: "I ......"
She wanted to drag the truth and the plate out, saying that there was a misunderstanding, but she was a little hesitant when the words came to her mouth.
After all, this banquet was organized by Chu Yanjun, and he promoted this situation out of good intentions, and he misunderstood it to indicate that he might be able to get rid of some harsh criticism, but when things got to this point, the Chu family would lose face anyway, and Chu Yanjun, who misunderstood this matter, was afraid that he would also be punished.
Chu Zhaozhao couldn't bear it, and glanced back at Chu Yanjun with a hesitant expression.
But at the moment when she hesitated, Chu Yanjun suddenly knelt down with a pale face.
"The head of the house! I received Zhaozhao's letter, and my clansmen heard her say that they had obtained the spirit sword, so I set up this banquet and invited you! ”
"I have a lot of trust in Zhaozhao, and I never thought that she would dare to tell such a big lie."
"This matter is my sloppiness, I didn't see the spirit sword, so I believed Chu Zhaozhao credulously, and I hope that the head of the family will punish me!"
