Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Situ Xing and Fang Hua are both old fritters in the Guanzhong Torture Hall, they didn't come to provoke Chu Xiu, and Chu Xiu wouldn't touch them, otherwise they would really kill all the people, who would still do things for him?

However, it is impossible for Chu Xiu to use these two people with confidence, and his own people must occupy the majority.

Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "The state capital in the hands of Wei Changling is now under the jurisdiction of Yang Ling. ”

This time Yang Ling can be said to have made a great effort, and it also proved his loyalty to Chu Xiu, this state capital is what Yang Ling deserves.

Although Yang Ling's strength is not very good, he is better than being clever, and he also has the ability, he has helped Wei Jiuduan deal with some chores before and after the saddle for so many years, all of which are done in an orderly manner, otherwise he would not have been able to stay by Wei Jiuduan's side for so long.

When Yang Ling heard this, he immediately stood up and saluted Chu Xiu and said, "Thank you, my lord!"

His thanks were sincere, and he could also see the difference between Chu Xiu and Wei Jiuduan from this point.

In the past, he had followed Wei Jiuduan for so many years, but Wei Jiuduan only promised him a lot of empty checks, and he didn't even have any actual things.

Even if it was Wei Jiuduan's famous stunt dragon chaser, he didn't pass on the slightest bit to Yang Ling until he died.

And after following Chu Xiu, he got two state capitals one after another, although things are a little dangerous, but the benefits are also huge.

Chu Xiu continued: "Jiang Taoran is temporarily unable to serve as an inspector, and the two state capitals under his command are separated and managed by the Ghost Hand King and Du Guangzhong respectively. ”

The Ghost Hand King and Du Guangzhong have always been the one who deals with the most things among the two forces under Chu Xiu, although these two people are not the strongest in the martial arts, but their comprehensive ability is also the highest.

"There is also the position of the inspector of the Jianzhou Mansion by Tang Ya. ”

Among these people under Chu Xiu, Tang Ya and Yan Bugui's strength is basically the strongest, but Chu Xiu can feel that Tang Ya's strength should be more than that, he is hiding clumsy, and the things at the bottom of the box have not yet been used.

Chu Xiu did not have the habit of snooping on other people's privacy, Tang Ya's strength was here, and he could afford to sit in the position of this patrol envoy.

In fact, it stands to reason that the strength of Yan Bugui is enough to be an inspector, he is in retreat at this time, and when he gets out, he will also be a master of the Sanhua Gathering Top Realm.

But the character of the goose does not return is there, and it is okay for him to kill people, so forget it as an inspector.

After all the rewards were completed, four of the six patrol envoys in the entire Guanxi land were Chu Xiu's henchmen, compared with Wei Jiuduan's time, the current Chu Xiu could be regarded as truly controlling the entire Guanxi land.

Chu Xiu glanced around at the people around him, and said with a cold tone in his tone: "At present, there are internal and external troubles in the land of Kansai, I said before, the outside must first be settled, now that the internal problems are solved, it is time to solve some external problems, these days, you first sort out the power in your hands, and finally gather together to solve all the problems at once!"

The hearts of everyone present were all in their hearts, and if the land of Kansai wanted real peace, I was afraid that there would be a killing.

Chu Xiu's actions in the Torture Hall Branch did not have any impact on the martial arts forces in the Kansai region, these were all adjustments within the Kansai Branch, and they did not involve those Jianghu forces.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Zhang family and other Jianghu forces, Chu Xiu should have been consolidating his strength during this period of time, trying to digest the power of Wei Jiuduan, the former criminal officer, and should not come to them for trouble.

So a few days later, the Zhang family began to prepare for the 188th birthday of Zhang Wanshan, the ancestor of the Zhang family.

In the rivers and lakes, in general, except for the really older or respected predecessors in the rivers and lakes, the warriors of some sect families actually rarely celebrate their birthdays.

A martial artist who has reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man will have a lifespan of two hundred years, and if he goes through every birthday one by one, what will it become? It's just a deliberate birthday gift from others.

Therefore, most warriors will only choose to hold a birthday on the premise that their longevity is about to expire, but they can still maintain a certain combat effectiveness.

Zhang Wanshan is exactly one hundred and eighty-eight years old this year, which is an auspicious number, and he is not old enough to completely decay his qi and blood until he can't move, so it is normal to hold a birthday banquet.

Of course, part of the reason why the Zhang family held this birthday banquet was forced by Chu Xiu.

Before Chu Xiu was promoted to the head of the criminal officer, the people of the Zhang family admitted defeat in a low-key manner and did not dare to do anything more, which also made the prestige of the Zhang family drop greatly.

And this time, the Zhang family held a birthday and invited all the Jianghu forces in the land of Kansai to come to let them see, although my Zhang family regressed in front of Chu Xiu, but it was also because of Chu Xiu's identity, and their Zhang family was not afraid of Chu Xiu, but the Guanzhong Torture Hall.

Now that the Wei family has been destroyed, and their Zhang family has become a veritable number one clan in Kansai, the Zhang family can admit defeat and regress in front of Chu Xiu, but compared with other martial arts forces in Kansai, it is still an existence that can only be looked up to.

Three days later, that is, the official start of Zhang Wanshan's birthday, Jiuyuan Mansion was very lively, and the people who came and went were all martial arts people who came to participate in Zhang Wanshan's birthday.

The Wei family was destroyed, the Zhang family was already the strongest martial arts force in Kansai, the Zhang family personally sent a post to invite, and the martial arts forces in Kansai did not dare not give face.

Most of the other casual cultivators came to see the excitement, and of course there were some people who wanted to blend in so that they could make some connections or something.

At this time, in a restaurant on the east side of Jiuyuan Mansion, a young martial artist who was not yet twenty years old was fiddling with his wine glass with a bored expression.

Although this young man is less than twenty, he already has the cultivation of the innate realm, even if he is placed on the rivers and lakes, it is considered fast to reach this realm at this age.

A middle-aged man from the Outer Gang Realm beside him frowned and said, "Young Master, the ancestor's birthday banquet is about to start at noon, why don't you go back now?"

This young man is Zhang Donglai, the most favored disciple of the younger generation of the Zhang family, he is not a descendant of Zhang Kunze's lineage, but his talent is the most outstanding, and he has been liked by Zhang Wanshan the most since he was a child.

When he was a child, when the other young disciples of the Zhang family were trembling when they saw Zhang Wanshan and did not dare to speak, only he could sit on Zhang Wanshan's lap and shout that the ancestor was coquettish.

As Zhang Donglai gets older and older, his talent is getting better and better, in addition to his lazy personality, Zhang Wanshan is also extremely satisfied with him, and even if he is not afraid that Kun Ze is a little dissatisfied, Zhang Wanshan wants to set Zhang Donglai as the heir of the head of the family.

Hearing the words of the middle-aged warrior at this time, Zhang Donglai said lazily: "What's the hurry, even if I go after the birthday banquet, the ancestor will not blame me." ”

Seeing Zhang Donglai's lazy appearance, the middle-aged martial artist couldn't help but say anxiously: "Young master, the other young masters are racking their brains to give the ancestor a satisfactory gift to please the ancestor, what if you are slow and not in a hurry here, what should you do if someone else steals the limelight?"

Zhang Donglai said disdainfully: "Just because of those few wastes, you want to steal the limelight from me?" Uncle Kun, don't worry, even if I don't give anything, the ancestor still loves me the most." ”

Seeing that Uncle Kun still wanted to nag, Zhang Donglai hurriedly said: "Okay, Uncle Kun, don't talk about it, I already have an idea for a birthday gift."

The Chen family in Lingzhou Mansion recently got a small cold jade sword, and I heard that they are going to dedicate it to the ancestor in exchange for the support and help of my Zhang family.

I'm going to ask for that little jade sword as a congratulatory gift to the Ancestor. ”

Uncle Kun hesitated and said, "But young master, that Hanyu sword is very precious, and the Chen family still wants to take this opportunity to show off some limelight, they will give this thing to you?"

Zhang Donglai sneered: "If the Chen family doesn't give it, I only need to say a few bad words in front of the ancestor to make the Chen family unable to eat and walk around!"

I want to see if it is the weight of the Hanyu Little Sword in the heart of the Ancestor, or the weight of my Zhang Donglai in front of the Ancestor.

If the Chen family is more interesting, I don't mind saying a few good words for the Chen family afterwards, otherwise, I will let him give the Chen family this gift for nothing!"

At this time, there was a sudden slap downstairs, and Tang Ya slapped his face while sighing: "Zhang Gongzi really knows how to play, and robbed others of his ancestor's birthday gift as his own birthday gift, this is called borrowing flowers to offer Buddha? No, borrowing flowers to offer ancestors, Zhang Wanshan's old thing is not qualified to become a Buddha." ”

As soon as they heard this, Uncle Kun and Zhang Donglai's faces suddenly changed.

Zhang Donglai shouted: "Bold! Who are you?"

Tang Ya said slowly: "Tang Ya, the new inspector of Jianzhou Mansion, it just so happens that my family is also going to attend Zhang Wanshan's birthday banquet, so I came to borrow something from Zhang Gongzi as a gift." ”

Uncle Kun's complexion changed suddenly, of course he knew who Tang Ya was, it was a vicious dog under Chu Xiu's command, or a vicious dog with extremely terrifying strength, Wei Changling died in his hands!

However, Zhang Donglai didn't react, and he subconsciously asked, "What to borrow?"

Tang Ya still had a smiling lazy smile on his face, but the words he said were creepy: "Borrow Zhang Gongzi's head as a congratulatory gift!"

"Young Master, run!"

When Uncle Kun heard this, he immediately made a move, pulling Zhang Donglai and wanting to escape, but unfortunately, in the face of Tang Ya's body speed, it was a joke for them to want to escape.

The two dragon tail soul chasing darts shone in a strange arc and slashed towards Uncle Kun, instantly tearing his body protection qi, and Uncle Kun held a long knife and almost tried all his strength to cut off the two dragon tail soul chasing darts.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his figure suddenly froze, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes, and a dragon-tailed soul chasing dart didn't know when it had completely penetrated him from behind!

As soon as Tang Ya's figure moved, he had already come to Zhang Donglai's side in an instant.

Zhang Donglai's eyes flashed with horror, and he shouted: "Don't kill me! I'm ...... Zhang's family."

Before he could finish his words, a short knife in Tang Ya's hand slashed directly through his neck, cutting off his head in an instant and putting it into a brocade box, without the slightest blood.

Closing the box, a lazy smile appeared at the corner of Tang Ya's mouth: "Congratulatory gift is in hand, perfect!"
