Chapter 148: The Royal Arrival
"What, you want to buy your life with all this money?" Zhang Xuanhu asked with a tiger face.
"My life is not worth so much money, it is just a dog's life." Hu San replied in a low voice, "This money is compensation for the evil things I have done, please accept it with a smile." Whether you're willing to spare my dog's life is another matter. ”
Zhang Xuan looked at Hu San's ghost look coldly, and said in his heart: People often say that thieves also have a way, but judging from Hu San's lack of integrity in order to save his life, this guy will definitely not pay attention to these. In order to give a wake-up call to the thieves, it is better to kill him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan did not hesitate to mobilize his killing intent and slaughtered Hu San to the ground.
As for the money in Hu San's hand, after thinking about it, Zhang Xuan picked it up from the ground and quietly dispersed it to the poor people who lived in dilapidated houses.
Presumably, when the poor people got up the next day, they would be overjoyed to see the money at the door.
When he got home, Zhang Xuan only said that he had taught the snitch a lesson, and did not say anything about killing Hu San.
He nodded and said, "Well, you teach the snitch a lesson, I hope he can listen to you and change his ways from now on." ”
If Zhang Xuan didn't have the experience of training around and killing the big demon, he would definitely have a kind and simple desire like the Xuan family, but now he has changed, thinking that this kind of kind and simple wish can only exist in imagination. Those treacherous people have stubborn evil obsessions, and it is really more difficult for them to repent than to ascend to heaven.
The next day, Zhang Xuan went to meet Mr. Zhang Kuanren, a teacher, visited his sister Xiaohua, and had a chat with the three brothers of Octopus for a while, and then prepared to go home for lunch.
When he came to a place not far from his house, he found that there were two tall horses tied to the big tree outside the courtyard, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart - he killed Hu San last night, didn't the government solve the case so quickly and send someone to find him?
Anxious, he returned home lightly and saw two strange men standing in the courtyard. The men's dress is somewhat luxurious, even better than that of the city officials.
The two men were talking to the Xuan clan when they saw Zhang Xuan coming in, and they all turned their heads to look at him.
One of the men in his forties said with a smile: "You should be Zhang Daxia, right?" ”
Zhang Xuan was stunned when he heard this. This guy called him Zhang Daxia, he shouldn't have come to arrest him, but where did they come from?
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was stunned, he said, "Yes, this is my son Zhang Xuan." ”
"You have raised a good son, and it is really Yushu Linfeng and has extraordinary manners!" The man smiled and said, "It seems that our trip was not in vain. ”
When he heard this, his face almost smiled.
"Where did you come from, and why did you come to my house?"
Zhang Xuan asked with a cold face.
The man in his forties responded with a smile: "Zhang Daxia, we are from the Imperial City, to be specific, from the Imperial Palace. My name is Meng Liang, and my colleague's name is Jiao Zan. ”
"The Imperial Palace?" Zhang Xuan was surprised, "That's where the emperor lives, it has nothing to do with our ordinary people, you don't stay there well, why do you come here?" ”
Meng Liang said with a smile: "Zhang Daxia, as you said, the royal family has always been a high-ranking existence, and ordinary people have no chance to deal with it. But Zhang Daxia is different, in view of your extraordinary ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons, which is beyond the reach of others, the royal family appreciates you a lot, and specially ordered us to invite Zhang Daxia to go to a story. ”
Jiao Zan, who had not squeaked, said: "Zhang Daxia, for you, this is an extremely rare opportunity, if you can get the appreciation of the emperor, from now on you will soar, high-ranking officials have to do, horses have to ride, it is me and Brother Meng Liang, maybe I have to rely on you to carry it." ”
Zhang Xuan glanced at Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, and responded indifferently: "What high-ranking officials have to do and horses have to ride, I'm not interested in any of these, unlike you people in the officialdom." ”
Meng Liang said: "Zhang Daxia, that's not what he said. Once you soar, not only will your face shine, but you will also shine in the court, and even your ancestors will feel glorified. Wouldn't it be a great thing that even this sister would be admired by all people? ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the Clan.
Because of the nourishment of Zhang Xuan's imported energy, the Xuan clan looked younger and younger, although he was in his fifties, he looked only in his thirties, so Meng Liang called him his sister.
When Zhang Xuan heard these words, he was not very happy in his heart, but he wondered how the news of his demon subjugation and demon subjugation spread. The imperial city and Zhangjia Village are thousands of miles away, and the actions of a rural boy like him should not be known to the world, at least the royal family, which has always been far away from the hustle and bustle, will not know, but now, the royal family not only knows, but also specially sent someone to invite him, which is not normal.
What the royal family invited him to do, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan did not say clearly, which made Zhang Xuan even more uncertain.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xuan said: "Two, this matter is too big, I want to discuss it with my mother, how about you come back in a few days?" ”
Meng Liang responded sharply: "No problem, you can discuss." Let's go to Liancheng first, and by the way, inform the Liancheng officials so that they can treat you and your family well. ”
After that, he immediately surrendered his hand.
Zhang Xuan's mother and son were sent out of the door, and when they saw some villagers standing next to each other, they were a little surprised, but they also knew that they were just going to see the excitement, so they didn't care much.
Those villagers were talking to each other around the two tall horses, but when they saw two gorgeously dressed and high-ranking officials coming out of Zhang Xuan's house, they became interested in them again.
A few of the bold villagers approached Meng Liang and Jiao Zan and asked, "Two officials, are you also planning to invite Zhang Xuan to go and catch demons?" ”
Meng Liang smiled reservedly and said arrogantly: "You are asking!" We came to invite Zhang Daxia, not so that he could catch demons, but to take him to meet the emperor. There are handsome birds in the mountains, and Zhang Daxia is so brave and martial that even the emperor is shocked, which is a blessing for all of you. Otherwise, how can you, a remote Zhangjia village, be registered with the emperor? ”
As he spoke, he untied the reins, turned over his horse, and beat his horse away.
The villagers watched Meng Liang and Jiao Zan leave, and then turned back to look at Zhang Xuan's mother and son with a smile.
Someone approached and said: "Zhang Xuan, Da Niu family, your luck is coming, and you can't stop it." Who is the Emperor? That is the biggest official of our dynasty, don't look at the officials in the city who are high-spirited in front of us, but they have to kneel down when they see the emperor, and they don't even dare to raise their heads. Zhang Xuan, after you go to see the emperor, you must come back as soon as possible, so that we can be happy! ”
The crowd chattered for a while before they dispersed.
The Xuan family returned home, closed the door, and said to Zhang Xuan: "Yinzi, everyone has come to invite you, that is to give you face, you don't want to earn money and not give people face." That Meng Liang is right, this is a glorious thing and even the ancestors are decent, I hope you go. ”
Zhang Xuan heard what the Xuan clan said, so he smiled and said: "Mother, since you want me to go, then I'll go, I think that the emperor is not a tiger, and he can't eat me!" ”
He smiled: "You can even surrender demons, what tigers are you afraid of?" If he is a tiger, then you will use your magic power to kill his violent temper. ”
"Well, everything is up to my mother!" Zhang Xuan responded with a smile, "However, before going to the Imperial City, I have to provide my mother with proper security, so that there will be no more snitches who don't have long eyes to come and stir up." ”
"Yinzi, you don't have any doppelganger techniques in mythological stories, what security can you provide me?" He asked.
Zhang Xuan said: "Mother, how about I leave one of the goblins I surrendered to you?" ”
He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's not possible!" Fairies are harmful spirits, how can I get along with them? Categorically! ”
