In the southwest of the Shenwu Empire, in Jinding City, escorted by dozens of golden-armored warriors with extremely tough temperament, a luxurious motorcade drove into the city gate.
In the carriage, a delicate incense burner emitted curls of light smoke, and Zhang Enjie opened his eyes from a state of relaxation.
"Ning Yun, the concentration spice you brought back from Martial Arts Mountain is very effective. It is very useful for warriors to calm their nerves and quickly enter a meditative state."
On the other side of the table, the heroic and extraordinary Zhang Ningyun said with a smile: "If grandpa likes it, I will prepare more and bring it back next time."
Zhang Enjie nodded: "Your grandma has always liked these things. As long as they are good for health and beauty, she has always liked them very much."
Zhang Ningyun nodded and replied: "I took note of it."
He opened the curtain and looked outside, then sighed leisurely: "I haven't been back to Jinding City in some years."
Hearing Zhang Ningyun's question, Zhang Enjie sighed softly: "Maybe it's not this incident, and the two of us probably can't remember it."
His tone was full of helplessness and guilt.
"Ever since you went to Wudao Mountain and I went to Wengcheng to serve, we owe a lot to our family."
Zhang Ningyun nodded: "You might as well resign as the commander of the Imperial War Palace in Wengcheng. I'm afraid they won't change their minds and will cause trouble again."
"This matter needs long-term consideration."
Mentioning the previous events, Zhang Enjie looked lonely again, but he was very relieved to see Zhang Ningyun with a righteous face.
"I know what you are thinking. Have you always envied that little thief named Xueyi? In fact, you are no worse than that guy in terms of talent. It's just that you have a little temperament and you can't calm down when you are too disturbed by the outside world. Come and practice. As long as you change this, you will definitely surpass him in the future."
Zhang Ningyun gritted his teeth and said: "Martial arts is all about bravery and diligence. As long as I continue to practice and practice, know how to walk on thin ice and do things bravely and diligently, my future achievements will definitely surpass his!"
Zhang Enjie couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Ning Yun, you are completely different from him. You are born to practice martial arts, a genius in the true sense, and you are upright and have improved step by step. That kid has taken the wrong path. There will definitely be big problems in the future. When you return to Martial Arts Mountain, you must study hard with your master. Grandpa believes in you!"
"Grandpa, don't worry, as long as I work hard enough, I will be very good!" Zhang Ningyun said with high spirits, then thought of something and shook his head helplessly: "My master always sees the beginning and end of the dragon, and I don't see him very often."
Zhang Enjie smiled and touched Zhang Ningyun's head and said: "Your master is a hard worker. In addition to martial arts mountain, you also have to train soldiers. You have to be patient. By the way, how did I hear that military selection is going on recently? Do you know this? Something?"
Zhang Ningyun pondered for a moment and said: "I have heard some rumors. Grandpa, just listen to it. I can't count."
Zhang Enjie nodded.
"In the last election, our South Border Moon Breaking Army almost lost to the Western Border Sunset Army. The contestants trained by the Wang family stopped outside the top ten. Four years later, he has exceeded the thirty-year-old bone age limit. My master I have never found a good candidate for the Wang family. This time, I guess the military selection is indeed to select the next training player."
"oh?"
After listening to Zhang Ningyun's words, Zhang Enjie could not help but feel a look of uncontrollable excitement on his face because of his calmness and sophistication:
"Ning Yun, don't you have a great chance? With your cultivation and age, you completely meet the requirements. If you go to your master to sign up, wouldn't you be able to join the Moon Breaking Army? By then, all the resources of the entire southern territory of the empire will be available. If I put more money into you, your future will be limitless!"
"That's true." Zhang Ningyun's face was also full of excitement, but he still smiled: "But now the power of the Moon Breaking Army is compared to that of the top warlords, such as the Wang family, the Leng family, the top aristocratic families, the Wei family, the Su family, the Chu family, The Kong family is even worse, and the supply of resources is even worse. Everyone is fixated on this piece of meat, and our Zhang family is worse than them now, and I have no confidence."
Zhang Enjie's mood has calmed down
When he came back, his eyes were full of unspeakable relief and confidence: "Ning Yun, there is no need to belittle yourself. Our Zhang family has always been a bit inferior, but the old man still has some prestige. Besides, I have also known people of your generation. , their strength is simply not comparable to yours, so you have to be more proactive in this matter."
Zhang Enjie couldn't help but be excited about this. The Zhang family seemed to be still prosperous in his hands, but it was only the two cities of Jinding City and Wengcheng. Looking at the entire Shenwu Empire, the small Zhang family It's nothing, I'm afraid it can be classified as a second-rate family at most.
Zhang Enjie himself is nearly fifty years old, and he is still at the low level of good fortune, and has no way to go further.
And his grandson is now a teenager and has almost caught up with him in cultivation. This is a genius among geniuses, and he is the most likely hope to revitalize the Zhang family. He may even have a great chance to join the Moon Poking Army in the future and become a member of the Zhang family. On a broader stage, only by relying on Zhang Ningyun can the Zhang family step out of Jinding City step by step, expand their influence in the southern border, and become more prosperous.
"Sir, young master, we are here!"
Outside the carriage, the voices of his men came in, and the carriage and horses slowly stopped. Unknowingly, the group of people had arrived at Zhang's house.
Zhang Enjie and Zhang Ningyun stepped out of the carriage one after another. Zhang Enjie patted Zhang Ningyun on the shoulder and sighed slightly: "Ning Yun, you haven't been home for seven or eight years, right?"
Zhang Ningyun also had some feelings. He stared at Zhumen Gaozhu and said, "It's been seven years and six months since I returned to Grandpa."
Zhang Enjie laughed and said, "Let's go! I don't know how happy your parents will be when they see you!"
After saying that, he felt something was wrong, frowned and asked Fang Qing, the housekeeper who was accompanying him:
"What's going on? When you entered the city, didn't you send a horse to the mansion in advance to notify you? Why was no one there to greet you?"
The subordinate said in fear: "Sir, I sent someone to inform the mansion. I don't know..."
"Grandpa, it doesn't matter." Zhang Ningyun said gently from the side: "Maybe grandma and mother are preparing, so let's go straight in first."
Zhang Enjie nodded and stepped through the door first. The grandfather and grandson walked in tandem. Before they entered the lobby, they saw the Zhang family's housekeeper and a large group of servants, all dressed in black, approaching.
kindness? The leader is the steward?
After seeing the leader clearly, Zhang Enjie and Zhang Ningyun's expressions suddenly changed, and they stepped forward and shouted:
"Why are you dressed like this? What happened in the house? Where are the old man and the young master?" The housekeeper and his servants fell to their knees together, and a heavy and sad emotion filled the air.
