When Zhang Xiaozu said that the Shen family's father and son had been killed by him, everyone in the hall was shocked and speechless.
They have all seen Shen Wenyu's powerful combat power. In their opinion, Shen Wenyu is a powerful being that Zhang Xiaozu cannot compete with at present, so Zhang Xiaozu's killing of Shen Wenyu is beyond their imagination.
Zhou Jianlai and Niu Dawa are better off, because they know that Zhang Xiaozu has many trump cards, especially the existence of ghost pupils, which is Zhang Xiaozu's biggest trump card.
Wan Qingqiu was thoughtful after being shocked. She also knew the existence of ghost pupils and guessed that Zhang Xiaozu used the power of ghost pupils.
Zodiac Girl was more happy than shocked, thinking that her precious grandson was the most powerful in the world.
So the most shocked person in the entire hall was Zhang Xiaobing.
But while she was in shock, her expression suddenly changed and she shouted to Zhang Xiaopou in a panic: "Brother, it's not a good time to stay here for a long time. Run away!"
"Why are you running away?" Zhang Xiaozu cast a puzzled look.
The others looked at Zhang Xiaobing with confusion, and were startled by her sudden panic shout.
Zhang Xiaobing quickly explained: "After the Shen family is promoted to the Star Realm, they will light a soul lamp in the clan ancestral hall. This soul lamp will not be extinguished until the person dies.
The Shen family has a secret method that can use an extinguished soul lamp to find the location where the soul of the deceased has dissipated. This means that once Shen Wenyu dies, the Shen family will soon know about his death and use his soul lamp to find the Su Empire.
At that time, the Shen family will definitely dig deep into the Su Empire to find the bodies of Shen Wenyu and Shen Wanhua, not only to find the murderers and avenge them, but also not to give up the power of the ancient immortals in them.
It would be too dangerous if the Shen family found any clues and traced them to you, eldest brother.
So brother, you'd better hide quickly, it's best to stay away from the Su Empire. "
Everyone was suddenly enlightened after hearing this, and then began to worry about Zhang Xiaozu.
Zhang Xiaozu also showed a look of surprise, and finally understood why the God Killer stopped him from killing Shen Wenyu in the Dasu Empire. Then he waved to everyone and said, "Don't worry, I didn't kill Shen Wenyu with my own hands. He was taken away by the God Killer and said he wanted to find him." Let him rest in a beautiful place, presumably to send him away from the Su Empire."
"That's good." Zhang Xiaobing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
At the same time, with the death of Shen Wenyu and Shen Wanhua, the danger she had brought to Zhang Xiaopou was also lifted, which made her heart feel relieved and she felt relaxed.
Zhang Xiaozu took out a light silver ring from the mustard seeds, shook it at Zhang Xiaobing, and said, "This is the mustard seed I picked off Shen Wanhua's finger. I wonder if you dare to use it?"
Zhang Xiaobing waved his hand and said, "I have a space pendant given to me by my mother, so I don't need it."
Then he solemnly reminded: "It belongs to Shen Wanhua. No matter who uses it, it's best to be careful."
Zhang Xiaozu nodded and put the ring away.
In the evening Niu Dawa prepared a feast.
Huang Daonv was in a happy mood and drank a few glasses of wine. Then she got drunk and asked Wan Qingqiu to help her back to her room to sleep.
After the elders left the table, Zhang Xiaozu and the four young people suddenly lost their restraints and drank from cup to cup.
Zhang Xiaozu and the others thought that Zhang Xiaobing was too drunk and would get drunk after just a few drinks, but they never thought that she drank a lot of alcohol and drank more than a dozen glasses of Jianmei wine before she showed her drunkenness.
"Brother, I am going to leave for Central Continent tomorrow and bring your news back to my mother as soon as possible to make her happy."
After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Xiaobing suddenly said goodbye to Zhang Xiaopou.
"Thank you for your hard work, little sister."
"Brother, you're welcome. Why are we brothers and sisters talking about so much trouble?"
"In this case, you can leave the day after tomorrow. I will take you to have a good time in the Imperial City for two days, and buy some gifts for mother along the way."
"Then I'll just have fun for two days."
Zhou Jian came to Zhang Xiaozu and had a drink with Niu Dawa, and said: "Dawa, Xiaopeng, I am going to leave for the East China Sea tomorrow. In the battle between the Eastern Expedition Army and Shenjian City, my master will definitely participate in the battle, and I will go to fight with him." fighting."
Zhang Xiaozu nodded and said: "Your Majesty will let grandpa serve as a general to attack Canghai City and fight against Sword Saint Cang, so I am also preparing to leave for the battlefield in the west."
"You two are going east and west, what about me?" Niu Dawa asked with a wry smile.
"You have to go back to the southern border." Zhang Xiaozu said.
"Why are you going back to the south?"
"The Shen family father and son threatened me with a bag of bones, saying they were dug up at the back of Liujia Village. Although Shen Wanhua said before he died that the bones were dug up in a mass grave, I still felt uneasy, so I had to let him go. You go back and confirm."
"Damn it, if they really touched the graves in Liujiacun, I swear they will dig up the ancestral graves of the Shen family." Niu Dawa scolded after hearing this.
"You are going back this time to visit the fourth child on the way. When the war starts, the enemy will most likely kill the prince. It may be dangerous for the fourth child to follow the prince."
"Um."
"Also, be careful of the wolf-headed masked man, he is most likely also in the southern border." Zhang Xiaozu reminded.
"Hmph, I would like to meet him and see who this guy who hides his head and tail is." Niu Dawa said with a cold look.
Zhou Jianlai filled the cup with wine, raised his glass and said, "It's hard to predict whether we will see each other again, and we don't know when we will meet again. May the four of us brothers be victorious in every battle and live a long life. Do it!"
"Dry!"
The three of them got very drunk that night, and Zhang Xiaobing also got drunk with them.
When they woke up the next day, Zhou Jianlai and Niu Dawa said goodbye to the zodiac girl, and then left one to the east and the other to the west.
Zhang Xiaozu put away the sadness of parting and the urgency of the war, relaxed his mood, and happily played with Zhang Xiaobing in the imperial capital for two days.
Early on the third day, Zhang Xiaobing left with the gift Zhang Xiaopou had prepared for his mother Shen Wenjun.
The three people leaving one after another made Guowei Mansion feel a lot deserted.
When Huang Daonv learned that Zhang Xiaozu was going to join the war, she didn't agree with anything, and Wan Qingqiu also firmly opposed it.
Seeing Zhang Xiaozu's resolute attitude, Huang Daonv went to the palace with her crutches to argue with Su Hanlin.
Zhang Xiaozu didn't dare to follow him. He was so frightened that he hid in the Yunzhu courtyard, fearing that Su Hanlin would not dare to reason with Huang Daonv and take out his anger on him.
If there is a place where Zhang Xiaopou can relax the most, it must be Yunzhu Courtyard.
Listening to Su Jin's reading, he felt that the whole world was peaceful and peaceful.
"Uncle!"
"Uncle, you are so awesome!"
"Uncle, when we grow up, we will also participate in the iron cavalry competition. Can you also be our instructor?"
"Yes, lead us to win the championship!"
The students discovered that Zhang Xiaozu was here. As soon as get out of class was over, they all rushed out of the classroom excitedly, chattering around Zhang Xiaozu. Their little eyes were full of admiration for Zhang Xiaozu.
"gentlemen."
While answering the students' questions, Zhang Xiaozu saluted Su Jin respectfully as he walked out of the classroom.
He found that Su Jin's temperament became more and more otherworldly. Although his every move, every word and every smile was approachable and amiable, there was a sense of grandeur and wisdom inside, which made people feel majestic and inviolable.
"Congratulations to you and your team for winning the championship!" Su Jin nodded and congratulated.
"Better luck." Zhang Xiaozhu said modestly.
"Luck is also part of strength."
Su Jin changed the afternoon class to a martial arts class, and Zhang Xiaozu taught the whole afternoon, teaching three sets of martial arts skills of claws, legs, and elbows, which was enough for the thirty-six children.
Zhang Xiaopou stayed behind for dinner.
A pot of clear porridge and a plate of green vegetables, Su Jin's meal was as light as ever.
After dinner, Zhang Xiaozhu accompanied Su Jin for a walk in the college, and then returned to the classroom and asked Su Jin to give him two lectures.
Su Jin talked about an ancient text, which was so obscure and profound that Zhang Xiaozu could only understand it half-understood.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir."
"This ancient essay has two parts. I am talking about the first part today. I will tell you the next part next time you come."
"OK."
"This is an agreement between Sir and you, you must not forget it."
"Students don't dare."
Zhang Xiaozu didn't tell Su Jin that he was going to join the war, but Su Jin seemed to have figured it out, and she kept sending Zhang Xiaozu out of the gate of Taiping College.
Su Jin returned to Yunzhu Courtyard, closed the door, and was about to walk to the east wing when he suddenly looked at the door of the west wing and frowned.
There stood a black figure silently, looking awkward and scary in the dark and silent courtyard.
"Who is he?" The black figure suddenly asked.
"Why are you here again?" Su Jin asked with a frown, looking unhappy.
"Come see you."
"No need, besides I don't even know who you are."
"Didn't you say that I look like a friend of yours?"
"I just said it casually."
"I think we can be friends."
"I don't think so at all." Su Jin's tone was cold and hard, leaving no room for error, and warned: "I'll call someone if you don't leave."
"You tell me who that kid is, and I'll leave immediately." The black figure said.
"One of my students."
"Just students?"
"What if not?"
"I feel like you have a closeness that goes way beyond a teacher-student relationship."
"The dirty deeds, dirty thoughts, and dirty thoughts show that you are a dirty person."
"Ha ha--"
The black figure was amused by Su Jin's series of "dirty" words.
"Come on, someone broke into the academy at night!"
Su Jin didn't find it funny at all and shouted loudly.
"I know Bai Mo." The black figure dropped a sentence, and then the figure disappeared into the dim night.
A ray of sword light shot through the air, and with a hiss, a piece of blood mist fell in the night sky.
"snort!"
"You run really fast!"
A cold snort sounded from the ninth floor of the Wusheng Tower. Nan Fengtian, the headmaster, looked at the sky in the southeast, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
The black figure, like a frightened rabbit, escaped from the Imperial City in one breath and fled into the mountains to the southeast. After repeatedly confirming that no one was catching up behind him, he came out of the folded space with a sigh of relief and landed in a valley.
"Huh-" He gasped and sat down on the grass.
There was a seven-inch deep bone-deep wound diagonally across his chest. Blood was flowing continuously. The most frightening thing was that there was still sword energy left in the wound.
If he hadn't fought hard with his true energy, the remaining sword energy would have been enough to tear his chest into pieces.
"Nan Fengtian's sword is so terrifying, I underestimated him." The man in black grinned miserably, and then hurriedly used his kung fu to dispel the remaining sword energy on the wound.
When Zhang Xiaozu returned to Guowei Mansion, the lights in the Yueyang Garden hall were still on. He walked into the room and found the Zodiac Girl sitting there waiting for him.
"Grandma, I..." Zhang Xiaozu looked at Huang Daonv awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
He wanted to accompany his grandfather to fight, but he also didn't want to disobey his grandmother's orders, which felt very difficult.
Huang Daonv sighed and said: "You should leave for Northern Xinjiang tomorrow. Your grandfather failed to prove his truth. You go...accompany him and help him by the way."
"Ah?!" Zhang Xiaopou stayed where he was as if he was struck by lightning.
"Those are the letters and things His Majesty asked you to bring to your grandfather."
Huang Dao Nu raised her hand and pointed to a secret letter sealed with vermilion lacquer and a brown jade box the size of a fist on the tea table.
