Chapter Ninety-Three: The Shaking of the Rivers and Lakes (2) (Part 3)
Anju.
It is a state located in the central part of the Qi country, with open terrain and a few mountain ranges. Agriculture, commerce is developed, the people are well fed, and it belongs to the extremely wealthy state.
This state belongs to the sphere of influence of Zhanjiabao, but Zhanjiabao is not the only large-scale Jianghu force in Anzhou. But the warlords were able to rule over the other Jianghu forces, because the warlords were not large enough to control a state. Moreover, the Zhanjia is an existence standing at the top of the food chain, and has enough strength and prestige to dominate all the Jianghu forces in Anzhou.
Every three years, the Zhanjia will hold a banquet in the Zhanjia Fort, and invite the Jianghu forces of Anzhou to the banquet, and the Jianghu people who come to the banquet must bring enough materials, or money, or genius treasures, or divine blades.
In fact, it is a disguised protection fee.
The Zhanjia dominates the entire Anju and protects all the Jianghu forces in Anju, on the contrary, all the forces in Anju must support the Zhanjia.
And the people of the war family are born swordsmen, and each generation has a top swordsman on the heavenly list, which is the so-called swordsman in the world, and the warlord.
The warriors have existed for thousands of years, and this situation in Anju has also been maintained for thousands of years. Even if the Blood River God Sect dominated the rivers and lakes more than a thousand years ago, it could only make the Zhan family temporarily succumb, but not destroy the Zhan family.
Zhanjia is one of the top, oldest, and most powerful forces in the entire Qi country.
Zhanjiabao is located on a plain in Anzhou, this plain is called Bolangsha, the plain is all fertile land, there are hundreds of thousands of acres, and these are the industries of Zhanjia.
There is not even a city of the imperial court in this area, and this Bolangsha seems to be the private kingdom of the warriors, and the power of the warriors is owned by the rulers of the warriors.
The population of the Zhan family is not large, and there are only a few dozen people in Chengding. It stands to reason that the Zhan family has been inherited for so long and has such a strong power, and there is no shortage of women.
The population of the Zhan family should be at least tens of thousands, even if it is ten or two hundred thousand, it is not unacceptable. But the people of the war family are too dead.
Compared with Zhang Ning, a person who has reached the peak with his talent, he has not killed anyone but is already a top swordsman. The people of the warriors are the real traditional swordsmen.
When the people of the Zhan family were young, they only learned ordinary second-rate knife techniques, which were varied, and after their skills were small, they would set foot in the rivers and lakes.
And incognito.
Because of the ordinary second-rate knife technique, the people in the rivers and lakes can't know that this young man is a member of the fighting family. And after the young man of the Zhan family set foot in the rivers and lakes, he specialized in doing dangerous things and challenging masters from all walks of life.
The mortality rate is very high.
If the young man of the Zhan family dies incognito outside, the people of the Zhan family will not trouble the enemy, and there will not even be a person to collect the body.
Even, the Zhan family didn't know that their children were dead.
Because it's incognito.
In such a situation, there are always not many men in the Zhan family, and each generation maintains a relatively fixed number. And the people who get it by this method of training their children are naturally elites.
When the men of the Zhan family come back alive, they basically have Heavenly Realm cultivation and first-class swordsmen. After these men come back, they can learn the sword skills of the Zhan family and the internal skills of the Zhan family.
Therefore, the adult males in the Zhan family are at least in the Heavenly Realm.
These celestial realms are divided into recluses, contemporary, and descendant.
The Red Refining Ghost King walked with Zhang Ning in the first battle, and Zhan Tianya, who was present in the first battle of the Badaomen, is the contemporary swordsman of the Zhan family, ranking thirty-one on the list, and belongs to one of the faces of the Zhan family.
And in the first battle of the Blood River Divine Skill, the Zhan family also sent people over, and it was still the end of the war.
Because Zhan Tianya is the most lively and active of the contemporary swordsmen of the Zhan family, basically everything that the Zhan family does outside is handed over to Zhan Tianya.
However, at that time, Zhan Tianya was not in Shanliu City, but in other places in Changhe Prefecture, so he didn't see Zhang Ning.
Zhan Tianya is still the same, with a dignified appearance, a burly body, seemingly unapproachable, and wearing simple coarse cloth clothes.
The people of the Zhan family basically wear coarse cloth clothes, and very few people wear good materials.
"You stupid, let you wash your clothes, what are you doing so hard?" The contemporary swordsman of the Zhan family, the thirty-one master of the earth list, Zhan Tianya, is by the well at the moment, with his head down and being trained, with a bright face.
It was Zhan Tianya's wife who reprimanded Zhan Tianya, Wu Jingxiu. Wu Jingxiu's background is very ordinary, and her appearance is also very ordinary, but she met Zhan Tianya when he was a teenager in the rivers and lakes, Wu Jingxiu likes Zhan Tianya, and Zhan Tianya does not hate Wu Jingxiu, so after Zhan Tianya came back, he married Wu Jingxiu.
Wu Jingxiu has a heroic personality, but also pungent and simple. After she gave birth to children for Zhan Tianya, in addition to the necessary things that need to be served, she generally does her own food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Today, Wu Jingxiu went to see her sister-in-law because of something, and handed over her clothes to Zhan Tianya to wash, but Zhan Tianya worked too hard, and her good clothes were torn, so she could only bow her head and be trained.
", I'll do it myself. After Wu Jingxiu lectured Zhan Tianya a few words, he rolled up the sleeves of his clothes, squatted down to wash his clothes, and told Zhan Tianya to get out.
Zhan Tianya didn't bite a word, and got out obediently.
Zhan Tianya is an ostrich at home, but when he goes out, he is also majestic and high-spirited. The house slaves and maids who came and went, when they saw Zhan Tianya, they all lowered their heads and said, Eighth Master.
"Eighth master, the head of the family is waiting for you at home. A house slave came in a hurry and reported.
"Oh. Zhan Tianya sighed and headed to the east. Zhanjiabao belongs to a huge complex of buildings, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a county seat.
The position of the head of the Zhan family is not inherited from father to son, but according to the generation, it is held by the strongest person of each generation.
The head of this generation of Zhan family is ranked second. is the second brother of Zhan Tianya, called Zhan Tianqing. Ranked sixth on the heavenly list, he is the top swordsman.
Zhan Tianya came to the head of the family's mansion and saw Zhan Tianqing in the lobby. Then obediently went up and called, second brother.
"Sit. Zhan Tianqing sat on the main seat, and lightly fought against Tianyadao. Zhan Tianya obediently sat in the guest seat again.
Zhan Tianya and Zhan Tianqing are brothers of the same generation, but the blood relationship is very far away, and the two families were brothers fifteen generations ago. Therefore, Zhan Tianya's appearance is solemn, and Zhan Tianqing's appearance is ordinary, and his figure is also ordinary, ordinary as if he is a passerby, if he doesn't know him, no one would think that he is the sixth top swordsman on the heavenly list.
Zhan Tianqing was also wearing an ordinary, black robe made of coarse cloth, cloth shoes under his feet, and his long hair was simply braided into a bun, with a wooden hairpin inserted.
It is a very traditional warrior swordsman.
"Did you hide anything else?" asked Zhan Tianqing.
"Yes. Zhan Tianya happily admitted, but then said, "But I can't tell you. ”
Zhan Tianya once told Zhan Tianqing that he knew Nameless, but he kept his promise and did not reveal anything about the battle of the Red Refining Ghost King. Zhan Tianqing investigated and felt that something was wrong, and suspected that Zhan Tianya was hiding something.
Zhan Tianya is a heroic person who admits but never tells secrets. Zhan Tianqing frowned slightly, but he didn't ask too much.
"The white-clothed swordsman Takeshi Warrior was killed, and I suspect that someone from the Peak City did it. The Peerless City has set foot in the rivers and lakes, and the ambition is high, and I feel a little uneasy. At this time, my Zhan family also needs foreign aid, can you find out the nameless and make friends with one or two?" Zhan Tianqing asked again.
As the top swordsman of the Zhan family, Zhan Tianqing has never been afraid of battle, but as the head of the Zhan family, he must take the inheritance of the Zhan family as the first priority.
He thinks a lot.
"I don't know what Nameless is and where he lives, but I know that even if I can find Nameless, he won't agree to be the foreign aid of our fighters, to be honest, second brother, you still can't move him. ”
Zhan Tianya didn't leave half of Zhan Tianqing's face, and he didn't have the pride of being a Zhan family, because the Yunjian Ke he knew, or the nameless, was comparable to the existence of the four great generals of Yinsi.
Zhan Tianqing's brows were even deeper, and he looked at Zhan Tianya with a headache, and said, "What do you know? What are you hiding?" ”
The proud Zhan Tianya would actually say that.
Apparently the nameless has a very terrible secret in front of this secret. In Lao Ba's opinion, the Zhan family is insignificant.
Zhan Tianqing wanted to know this secret, but unfortunately he knew that the eighth would not tell it.
