Chapter 341: The Last Birthday
Yuanzhou Zhang's house is located on a hill with beautiful mountains and rivers outside Yuanzhou Mansion, and the entire top of the mountain is the manor of the Zhang family.
At this time, it was close to noon, the birthday feast was about to begin, and the people who should go up the mountain had also gone up the mountain, and there were hardly many people at the foot of the mountain.
Chu Xiu was waiting for something in the forest not far from the hill with hundreds of elites from the Kansai Branch, and after a while, Tang Ya's figure loomed from the forest, holding a brocade box containing a human head in his hand.
"My lord, the congratulatory gift has been received. ”
Tang Ya smiled and handed the brocade box to Chu Xiu, as if he had just done something insignificant.
Chu Xiu's eyes showed a cold glow, he looked at the hill, his tone did not have the slightest wave, and said: "Since everything is ready, then let's go and give Zhang Wanshan 'birthday', after all, this is his last birthday." ”
The slaughter of the Zhang family at the foot of the mountain did not feel it, and on the top of the mountain, the Zhang family's manor was full of lights, and there was a lively scene everywhere.
Because there were so many people coming, the lobby and house of the Zhang family could not fit it, so the birthday banquet was held in the courtyard.
Zhang Wanshan sat in the northernmost place, and the people from the martial arts forces around him stepped forward one by one to congratulate Zhang Wanshan on his birthday and gave him a congratulatory gift.
These people seem to be comparing, the gifts they give are more expensive than one another, the people of the Zhang family who welcome the guests read out the gifts one by one, and the more valuable the people who send, the more they seem to have a light on their faces, this scene also makes everyone below talk about it.
Someone sighed: "Tut, look at the power of the Zhang family, now that the Wei family is destroyed, this Zhang family has really become the largest family in Kansai, and some people said before that the Zhang family admits defeat and retreats in front of the new criminal officer, and it is no longer good, etc., now that I look at it, it's just nonsense." ”
A person next to him said: "It seems that this Zhang family is much smarter than the Wei family, Chu Xiu's new official took office three times, the Zhang family is right not to cause trouble at this time, let's keep a low profile for the time being, the strength of the Zhang family is here, look at this power now, you know, the Wei family was destroyed, but the strength of the Zhang family has not lost the slightest." ”
The people below were almost talking about the current power of the Zhang family, and they were amazed.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Wanshan and Zhang Kunze both nodded with satisfaction, and their Zhang family's purpose of recovering their prestige was achieved this time.
At this time, Zhang Wanshan glanced around and asked, "What about Donglai? Why is this kid gone?"
Zhang Kunze shook his head and said, "Ancestor, Donglai is a little unfamiliar to you, and you are running around at this time.
But now that it's almost time for the feast, we can't wait for him with so many of us, right?"
Zhang Wanshan nodded and said, "Okay, let's not wait for him for the time being, let's just have a banquet." ”
Although Zhang Wanshan said this, he didn't know why, but he suddenly had a feeling of shock, as if something bad was about to happen.
Zhang Kunze stood up and arched his hand at everyone present and said, "Thank you for participating in my ancestor's 188th birthday this time, my Zhang family is grateful."
Recently, my Zhang family has encountered some things, which have led to some young people secretly slandering my Zhang family, but this birthday banquet also made my Zhang family see the support of all my martial arts colleagues, and my Zhang family is grateful.
Everyone who comes is a guest, and it doesn't matter if there are no seats for the fellow people outside, I will let the next person prepare the table again, and everyone will participate in the birthday banquet together. ”
As soon as these words came out, those loose cultivators who were watching the excitement outside immediately began to praise Zhang Jiaren's righteousness and atmosphere loudly outside.
After all, for most martial arts sects, these loose cultivators are basically ignored characters, and now the Zhang family can still think of them, this thing is atmospheric enough.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Wanshan also suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction.
The Zhang family can still have such a power now, and he is at ease.
But at this moment, a voice came from outside.
"Ancestor of the Zhang family, you didn't invite me for your birthday, but you look down on me Chu Xiu?"
As the voice came, the crowd split up a way, Chu Xiu walked straight into the Zhang family with nearly a hundred people under his command, and those warriors in other Kansai lands avoided one after another, looking at Chu Xiu with a hint of fear and horror in his eyes.
The comer is not good!
In an instant, these four words popped out in the hearts of everyone present.
The faces of the people of the Zhang family were even more solemn, and they didn't expect that Chu Xiu would choose this time to trouble them.
The Zhang family had already calculated Chu Xiu once, and the Liang Zi of the two sides had reached a very thorough knot, so how could the Zhang family invite Chu Xiu to the birthday banquet in this case?
Moreover, Chu Xiu came with so many people, is this appearance here to celebrate his birthday?
Zhang Kunze suppressed his anger, and just as he wanted to say something, he was held down by Zhang Wanshan.
Looking at Chu Xiu, Zhang Wanshan smiled and said: "Lord Chu has a lot of opportunities, I am afraid of delaying Lord Chu's official business, so I didn't inform Lord Chu, please forgive me."
But since the adults are here, then please take a seat, today Lord Chu is here to give my Zhang family face, and my Zhang family is naturally warmly welcomed. ”
The attitude of the ancestor of the Zhang family was extremely low, which suddenly made everyone present stunned, how can Zhang Wanshan say that he is also a well-known existence in the martial arts of Kansai, when did he bow down so much?
Chu Xiu looked at Zhang Wanshan with a smile, he had never dealt with this ancestor of the Zhang family, Zhang Wanshan, but now that he looked at it, this old guy was more tolerant than the ancestor of the Wei family.
put his posture so low in front of himself, if he did it again, it would be his domineering and unreasonable.
It's a pity that Zhang Wanshan still doesn't understand Chu Xiu's character, once Chu Xiu makes a certain decision, it is not so easy to give up.
Chu Xiu smiled and said: "Old man Zhang, if you don't invite me to come, then I can only come uninvited, but I came in a hurry, I didn't give you any too expensive gifts, Old Man Zhang, I hope you will forgive me." ”
Zhang Wanshan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Chu is polite, there is no need to be like this." ”
Chu Xiu shook his head with a serious face and said: "This is not good, since it is a birthday banquet, there must be a congratulatory gift, everyone else has given it, if I don't give it, won't it seem that I Chu Xiu is stingy?"
As he spoke, Chu Xiu threw the brocade box in his hand to Zhang Wanshan.
Zhang Wanshan subconsciously caught the brocade box, and the smell of blood faintly revealed from it suddenly made Zhang Wanshan feel that something was wrong.
Opening the brocade box, a dead head appeared in front of Zhang Wanshan, and suddenly made him roar in pain: "Come from the east!"
For a martial artist of Zhang Wanshan's age, there are hundreds of sons, grandsons and even great-grandsons, and the so-called family blood has long been a little weak.
Among his descendants, the only one who can make Zhang Wanshan really love is Zhang Donglai, who is also considered by Zhang Wanshan to be the hope of their Zhang family's future, and has been carefully taught since he was a child.
As a result, Zhang Donglai's head now appeared in front of Zhang Wanshan's eyes, and this grief was even more serious than his dead son.
The corners of Chu Xiu's mouth said with a playful smile: "It is said that Old Man Zhang, your favorite is your great-grandson, but as a result, your birthday is imminent, but your most beloved great-grandson is not here, and now I specially sent him to you, how about it, are you surprised?"
"Chu Xiu! My Zhang family and you don't share the sky!"
Zhang Wanshan shouted angrily, and a simple long sword in his hand was unsheathed, slashing towards Chu Xiu with an incomparably thick sword momentum!
Zhang Wanshan really didn't plan to make a move with Chu Xiu before, for the sake of a momentary battle of will, it was not worth fighting to the death with Chu Xiu, the new criminal officer in charge of Guanxi.
But now Chu Xiu actually sent the head of his most beloved great-grandson to his eyes, which also shows Chu Xiu's attitude to fight with their Zhang family.
Since this is the case, what else does Zhang Wanshan endure? What is he going to retreat? It is better to give it a go and fight to the death with him Chu Xiu!
The other martial artists present also immediately retreated when they saw this scene, their eyes flashing with fear.
This Chu Xiu is really not ordinary ruthless, he has just finished destroying the Wei family, and he is going to kill the Zhang family, what is he doing?
The Ah Nose Demon Knife in his hand slashed out, and the monstrous demonic qi burst out with a red bloody aura, colliding with Zhang Wanshan's sword, and suddenly erupted into a powerful wave.
In terms of pure strength, this Zhang Wanshan is even stronger than the ancestor of the Wei family.
It is also ironic to say that the ancestor of the Wei family has been in seclusion for more than ten years, wanting to preserve his qi and blood and prolong his life, but the result is not as strong as Zhang Wanshan's strength.
It's just that with Chu Xiu's current level of combat power, even if Zhang Wanshan's strength is stronger than the Wei family ancestor, it is only a matter of time before he kills him.
Chu Xiu stood with a knife in his hand and said in a cold voice: "The Zhang family conspiracy is rebellious, and the crime should be punished." The door is full of punishment, and the chickens and dogs are not left!"
When the words fell, Tang Ya, Yan Bugui and others also immediately took action and rushed up with their subordinates.
The Zhang family used to be a Kansai clan that could be compared with the Wei family, and there were quite a few people in the clan, including thousands of people.
But these thousands of people can't be compared with the elite under Chu Xiu's command.
Whether it is a martial artist from the Guanzhong Torture Hall, or a killer from the Blue Dragon Society such as Tang Ya and Yan Bugui, his quality is much stronger than that of the Zhang family, although the number of people is only one-tenth of the opponent's, but when it really fights, the result is like crushing, and dozens of people are easily killed as soon as they come into contact with the Zhang family.
The ancestor of the Zhang family looked at Chu Xiu with red eyes, and said coldly: "Chu Xiu! My Zhang family has already said that they have already admitted defeat and retreated, why do you still want to kill everything?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "Zhang Wanshan, are you the first day to mix the rivers and lakes?
If admitting defeat and apologizing is useful, what do you need swords and fists for?
If I let you go today, in the future, other forces in the land of Kansai will think that I Chu Xiu is easy to deceive, and think that the price of attacking me Chu Xiu is not strong, so they will have the courage to provoke my majesty.
Your Zhang family is a living example, responsible for letting others know the price of daring to provoke me Chu Xiu!"
