"Senior Brother Xu, why...why did you choose him?"
In the flying boat, Lu Zhen looked at Xu Wen incomprehensibly.
As a political animal, she certainly knew the meaning of Xu Wen's move.
Even if Xu Wen gives up, Zhang Zhiming, who is the grandson of the emperor and has the blessing of gods and men, will definitely become one of the major forces in the Zhulu Qian Kingdom.
Moreover, it was the kind that got rid of the couple and formed an independent army.
As a mother, Lu Zhen was naturally happy that her son could have such an opportunity. She just didn't understand why Xu Wen fell in love with Zhang Zhiming.
In fact, she was not very satisfied with this son. He was too weak and lacked the decisiveness and ruthlessness of the royal family. She also had no friendship with Xu Wen along the way.
"Because he still has humanity!"
After glancing at Lu Zhen, Xu Wen replied lightly and said nothing more.
The flying boat flew across the sky and soon entered Tianzhu City, the imperial city of Qian Kingdom.
As soon as he entered the city, Xu Wen keenly discovered that there was a trace of spiritual energy floating here. Lu Zhen's words that the imperial city had spiritual veins were indeed not false.
Following Lu Zhen's instructions, he drove the flying boat straight into the dark palace.
After all, this is where the Imperial City is located. Unlike other places, the flying boat suddenly sank as it approached the palace. There was actually a forbidden air formation here.
However, Xu Wen could not be stopped by a forbidden air formation of this size. With a deep shout, the flying boat suddenly burst into glory, forcibly dispelling the influence of the forbidden air formation, and rushed directly into the top of the palace.
"That fellow Taoist is here, is this the place where Fushan Master comes to practice his spiritual life?"
A voice sounded, and three Taoist priests with long swords on their backs appeared.
The three of them have very good looks and demeanor, and they look like experts from the immortal family at first glance.
However, with his spiritual consciousness, Xu Wen discovered that none of these three people had reached the third level of Qi Refining.
This level of cultivation is like living in the wilderness in Qingfeng City. Even the monthly rent in Qingfeng City has to be racked, but here he is like an expert in the world.
Li didn't bother to pay attention to these people. Xu Wen's consciousness was fully activated, the tide swept across the entire palace, and he shouted coldly:
"Where is Fushan? Come out and see me!"
In this mundane world, the foundation-building monks are heaven and do not need to be afraid of anyone.
The next moment, the door of a palace suddenly opened, and an old man with a high crown, a simple face, and flowing white hair slowly walked out.
Looking at the flying boat floating in the air, he was extremely surprised. He bowed hastily and whispered:
"Which senior is here? Junior Zhang Fushan of the Zhang Family of Akadama City has met the senior!"
With a flash of his body, Xu Wen put down Lu Zhen and others, put away the flying boat, and landed on the ground.
Zhang Fushan looked like an outsider, but in fact he was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. He had just advanced to the late stage of Qi Refining, and Xu Wen could crush ten to death with one slap.
As for the white beard and white hair, they are even more fake, they were all dyed.
This behavior is obviously just to add some gold to his face and add more persuasiveness.
Xu Wen of the Zhang Family of Scarlet Jade City did not know, but Xu Wen of Scarlet Jade City knew about it, and it was also a fairy city under the jurisdiction of the Zhiyuan Sect.
However, it is far away from Qingfeng City and there is not much contact with it.
Seeing Zhang Fushan, Lu Zhen suddenly showed fear on her face and hurriedly retreated to Xu Wen's side and said:
"It's this monster, and he captured my husband."
Seeing Lu Zhen, Zhang Fushan was also a little surprised, but ignored him. Instead, he looked at Xu Wen and said respectfully:
"The juniors don't know that the third princess has a relationship with the seniors, otherwise they would never dare to do this. I would like to ask the seniors to tell me something."
Then he turned to Lu Zhen and said calmly:
"I am not a monster. Qianguo was founded by my ancestors. Speaking of which, you should call me uncle."
"I came here just to get back the inheritance left by my ancestors in the mortal world. It's you and your wife who insist on blocking it regardless of life and death."
Lu Zhen snorted coldly and ignored Zhang Fushan at all.
In fact, Zhang Fushan showed his identity when he first came to Qianguo.
But there is a common saying in the world that "people outside of the fifth level are not relatives." What's more, they are in the world of ordinary people and in the same cultivation world. After countless generations, there is no family relationship at all.
Moreover, what Zhang Fushan wanted was the inheritance left by the founder of Qian Kingdom. Lu Zhen and his wife had always been ambitious, and they were not willing to give it up to others.
The couple were very capable and did not seem to have much influence outside, but they had long been recognized by the old emperor.
If the old emperor hadn't been very old, he would have named the third prince as his heir.
The old emperor was not willing to hand over the inheritance to outsiders easily, so he secretly asked the two men to take it away for safekeeping.
Zhang Fushan found out halfway and killed him, which finally led to the current situation of chaos in the country.
Looking at Zhang Fushan's appearance, Xu Wen always felt that he was somewhat similar to someone in his impression.
Although foundation-building masters cannot trace bloodlines at a glance like Master Jindan, they can still have a vague sense of bloodline relationships.
Thinking back to what was recorded in the silk, he immediately said coldly:
"Your surname is Zhang, who are you Zhang Xing?"
"Zhang Xing?"
Zhang Fushan was a little confused, but he soon realized:
"Senior is talking about Zhang Duxing, right? That's my cousin. He just built the foundation two years ago..."
At this point, his next words suddenly stopped.
He knew what his cousin was doing outside, and the person he knew was not his real name but a pseudonym. Maybe he was Zhang Duxing's enemy who suffered a huge loss.
Seeing his nervous look, Xu Wen certainly knew what the other person was thinking, so he didn't bother to pay more attention and directly ordered:
"Where is the Third Prince Zhang Zhongyu? Release him?"
Facing Xu Wen, a master of foundation building, Zhang Fushan couldn't think of any resistance at all. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said:
"Okay, okay, I'll let him out right now..."
"No, uncle, you must not!"
Before he finished speaking, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and a middle-aged man in a yellow robe strode over and shouted loudly from a distance:
"Zhang Zhongyu is the thief who killed the late emperor, how can we let him go!"
This man is the eldest prince of Qian Kingdom, one of the six emperors of Qian Kingdom who now occupies the imperial city.
He had always been unpopular with the old emperor and had no chance of obtaining the throne originally, but after Zhang Fushan arrived, he suddenly sensed an opportunity.
After all kinds of flattery, Zhang Fushan finally gained Zhang Fushan's approval and sat on the throne.
After hearing what he said, Lu Zhen immediately retorted angrily:
"My father has long chosen Zhong Yu as the crown prince. How could we harm him? It's obviously you, a rebellious son, who committed the evil act of parricide. Do you still want to frame us?"
"Aren't you, a capable whore who seduces the late emperor, why don't you feel ashamed to serve both father and son?"
The middle-aged man retorted.
"You...fart, you filthy bitch, can you insult your biological father like this? Are you still a human being?"
Lu Zhen's face was as white as snow, she was trembling, pointing at the other person and yelling curses.
This is the reason why Xu Wen doesn't want to get involved in the secular world. The father-in-law says the father-in-law has the right, and he can't get entangled in it. He can't tell the right or wrong of a small thing for several months.
"shut up!"
A sharp shout stopped the two of them. Xu Wen looked at the eldest prince and said coldly:
"I said I wanted to release Zhang Zhongyu, do you want to stop me?"
"Zhang Zhongyu must not be let go, he..."
Pointing at Lu Zhen, the eldest prince wanted to say something, but Xu Wen didn't have the patience to listen to him, so he raised his hand and waved.
A wind blade shot out and chopped off his head in one blow.
A high-ranking emperor, a figure who could determine the lives and deaths of thousands of people with one word and the fate of tens of thousands of people with one thought, was beheaded like a pig or dog.
There was no warning, no sentence, no sign, it was like just crushing an ant casually.
There was silence all around, everyone looked at Xu Wen in fear, and remained silent, not daring to say another word.
"Go and release Zhang Zhongyu!"
Slowly turning to Zhang Fushan, Xu Wen gave the order coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go right away, he... he's been tortured a little, but he's fine!"
Zhang Fushan was like a mouse seeing a cat, rushing towards one place.
On the other side, Lu Zhen looked at Xu Wen in surprise, as if seeing him for the first time.
At first, I just felt that Xu Wen was completely different from more than ten years ago, but now I realized that it was not that Xu Wen was different, but that the two of them were no longer in the same world.
If it were her, even if she caught the eldest prince, even if she wanted to kill him, she would definitely squeeze out all his value before killing him.
And the crime must be promulgated and made public, and try to let others know that the other party deserves to die and be killed, and that he represents justice and fairness.
But Xu Wen just cut off the opponent's head with a casual knife.
This doesn't mean that the other party doesn't know how to take advantage of the death of the eldest prince, but it just means that the other party doesn't care about it at all.
Similarly, the other party didn't care at all about the backlash caused by the death of the eldest prince, because he had the power to overwhelm all backlash.
While thinking about it, Zhang Fushan had already hurried over with Zhang Zhongyu.
Zhang Zhongyu's face was very pale. Normally he should be good-looking, but he didn't know if it was because of preconceptions. Xu Wen always felt that he was somewhat similar to Liu Minghe.
The clothes were also full of creases, and he had obviously suffered a lot. Even though Zhang Fushan had used several treatment methods, he was still a little unsteady on his feet.
Lu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to support her husband, and whispered to Zhang Zhongyu:
"This is Senior Brother Xu Wen whom I mentioned to you. He is a good friend of Liu Minghe and I. He is already the Immortal Chief of Zhuji."
"He will send Mu Xian to that world, capture a city for Zhiyuan, and travel thousands of miles to save you."
"As for the second half of the inheritance, please let Master Xu help us observe it and see if we can learn from it..."
In just a few words, she explained the cause and effect clearly. It was rare for her to be able to express the exchange of interests in such a tactful way.
Zhang Zhongyu hadn't spoken yet, but Zhang Fushan's expression changed drastically. Without saying a word, he suddenly pulled out a magic talisman and instantly turned into a flame, flying straight into the sky.
At the same time, his three subordinates also shouted in unison and fled in all directions.
There was a flash of light, and many sword threads suddenly appeared in the air. They circled around and several corpses fell into the dust like broken bags.
From the moment they saw Xu Wen, their death was doomed.
There was no way Xu Wen would let them leave and let the news that he was here leak.
It would be better for them to take the initiative to escape, so that Xu Wen would not be embarrassed to take action.
