Chapter three hundred and fortieth birthday banquet
Once the emperor and the ministers, Situ Xing and Fang Hua were both old foxes in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. They didn't come to provoke Chu Xiu, and Chu Xiu wouldn't touch them, otherwise they would kill everyone, who would do anything for him?
However, Chu Xiu couldn't use these two people with confidence. His own people must occupy the majority.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "The prefecture in Wei Changling's hands is now under Yangling."
Yang Ling made great efforts this time, and it also proved his loyalty to Chu Xiu. This prefecture is worthy of Yang Ling.
Although Yang Ling's strength is not very good, he has the advantage of being smarter and capable. He has helped Wei Jiuduan handle some chores for so many years, and he has done some orderly work, otherwise he would not have stayed with Wei Jiuduan for so long.
When Yang Ling heard this, he immediately stood up and bowed to Chu Xiu, "Thank you sir!"
His thanks were sincere, and from this point of view, we can also see the difference between Chu Xiu and Wei Jiuduan.
In the past, he followed Wei Jiuduan for so many years, but Wei Jiuduan just promised him a lot of empty checks, without even a practical thing.
Even Wei Jiuduan's famous skill, Dragon Chasing Hand, did not pass it to Yang Ling at all until he died.
After following Chu Xiu, he got two state prefectures in succession. Although the situation was a bit dangerous, the benefits were also huge.
Chu Xiu continued: "Jiang Taoran is not able to serve as the inspector for the time being. The two prefectures under his command will be separated and will be managed by the Ghost Hand King and Du Guangzhong."
Ghost Hand King and Du Guangzhong have always been the ones who handle the most among the two forces under Chu Xiu. Although these two people are not the strongest in martial arts, their comprehensive abilities are also the highest.
"There is also a seat for the inspector of Jianzhou Prefecture, Tang Ya will take the seat."
Among the people under Chu Xiu, Tang Ya and Yan Bugui are basically the strongest, but Chu Xiu could feel that Tang Ya should have more than so many strengths. He is hiding his weaknesses and has not used the things that are under the box.
Chu Xiu did not have the habit of spying on others' privacy. Tang Ya's strength was here, so he could sit on the position of the inspector.
In fact, the power of Yan Bugui is enough to be an inspector. He is in seclusion at this time, and after he comes out of seclusion, he will be a master of the Three Flowers Gathering Realm.
But Yan Bugui's personality is there, so he can kill people, so he should be a patrolman.
After all the rewards were granted, six inspectors in the entire Guanxi area, four of them were Chu Xiu's confidants. Compared with Wei Jiuduan at that time, Chu Xiu now truly controlled the entire Guanxi area.
Chu Xiu looked around everyone around him, and said with a cold tone: "Now the land of Guanxi has internal and external troubles. I said before that, we must first settle the internal situation when fighting foreign countries. Now that internal problems have been solved, it is time to solve some external problems. In the past few days, you will sort out the strength in your hands, and finally gather them together to solve all the problems at once!"
Everyone present was filled with a stern heart. If you want real peace in Kansai, there would be a killing.
Chu Xiu's actions in the Punishment Hall branch had no impact on the martial arts forces in Kansai. These were adjustments within the Kansai branch and did not involve those forces in the Jianghu area.
So in the eyes of the Zhang family and other forces in the world, Chu Xiu should have been stabilizing his strength during this period and trying to digest the power of Wei Jiuduan, the former chief of the criminal officer, and should not cause trouble for them for the time being.
So after a few days, the Zhang family began to prepare for the 188th birthday of Zhang Wanshan, the ancestor of the Zhang family.
In the world, except for the older or highly respected seniors in the world, some sects rarely celebrate their birthdays.
A warrior who has reached the realm of unity of man and nature will have a life of two hundred years. If he passes each birthday one by one, what will it look like? It is just deliberately asking for a birthday gift from others.
Therefore, most warriors will only choose to hold a birthday when their life span is about to end but they can still maintain a certain combat effectiveness.
This year, Zhang Wanshan is exactly 188 years old, which is a good number. In addition, he is not old enough to have completely decayed his qi and blood, so it is normal to hold a birthday party.
Of course, some of the reasons why the Zhang family held this birthday party was forced by Chu Xiu.
Before, Chu Xiu was promoted to the chief officer, and the people of the Zhang family gave in a low-key manner and did not dare to cause trouble again, which also greatly reduced the prestige of the Zhang family.
This time the Zhang family held their birthday and invited all the forces in the Guanxi land to come and let them see. Although my Zhang family retreated in front of Chu Xiu, it was also because of Chu Xiu's identity. Their Zhang family was not Chu Xiu, but Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
Now that the Wei family has been destroyed, their Zhang family has become the veritable largest clan in Guanxi. The Zhang family can admit defeat and retreat in front of Chu Xiu, but compared with other martial arts forces in Guanxi, it is still an existence that can only be looked up to by them.
Three days later, that is, when Zhang Wanshan’s birthday officially began, Jiuyuan Mansion was very lively, and people coming and going were all martial arts people who came to participate in Zhang Wanshan’s birthday.
The Wei family was destroyed, and the Zhang family was already the strongest martial arts force in Guanxi. The Zhang family personally posted an invitation, and there was no martial arts force in the Guanxi area who dared not to give face.
Most of the other casual cultivators come to watch the fun, and of course some people want to get involved in it to make connections and other things.
At this time, in a restaurant east of Jiuyuan Mansion, a young warrior who was less than 20 years old was fiddling with his wine glass with a bored look on his face.
Although this young man is less than twenty years old, he already has the innate realm of cultivation. Even if he is placed in the world, it is considered to be fast to reach this level at this age.
A middle-aged man from the outer Gang realm next to him frowned and said, "Young Master, the birthday party of the ancestor is about to begin at noon. Are you going back yet? Are the birthday party of the ancestor ready?"
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 since childhood.
When other young disciples of the Zhang family saw Zhang Wanshan trembling and dared not speak, he was the only one who could sit on Zhang Wanshan's lap and shout to be coquettish as the ancestor.
As Zhang Donglai grew older and his talent became more and more outstanding, in addition to his lazy personality, Zhang Wanshan was also extremely satisfied with him. Even if he was not afraid that his family leader Zhang Kunze would be a little dissatisfied, Zhang Wanshan would have wanted to make Zhang Donglai the heir to the head of the family.
At this time, when he heard the middle-aged warrior's words, Zhang Donglai said lazily: "What's the rush? Even if I go to the birthday party, my ancestor will not blame me."
Seeing Zhang Donglai's lazy look, the middle-aged warrior 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. You are so slow here that you are not in a hurry, what should you do if you are stolen by others?"
Zhang Donglai said disdainfully: "Just those wastes want to steal the limelight from me? Uncle Kun, don't worry, even if I don't give you anything, I will still be the one I love the most."
Seeing that Uncle Kun still wanted to nag, Zhang Donglai hurriedly said, "Okay, Uncle Kun, stop talking, I have already had an idea for the birthday gift.
The Chen family in Lingzhou Prefecture recently got a small cold jade sword. I heard that they were going to offer it to the ancestor in exchange for support and help from my Zhang family.
I am going to take the Hanyu Sword to come as a gift to the ancestor.”
Uncle Kun hesitated and said, "But Young Master, the Hanyu Sword is very precious. The Chen family wants to take this opportunity to show off. Will they give you this thing?"
Zhang Donglai sneered: "Don't give it? If the Chen family doesn't give it, I just need to say a few bad words in front of the ancestor to make the Chen family lose money!
I want to see if it is the Han Yu Xiao Jian’s weight in the heart of the ancestor, or the weight in front of me, Zhang Donglai.
If the Chen family is more tactful, I don’t mind saying a few good things to the Chen family afterwards, otherwise I will let him give this gift from the Chen family for free!”
At this time, a slap suddenly came from downstairs. Tang Ya slapped and sighed: "Young Master Zhang really knows how to play. He snatched the birthday gift from others to his ancestor as his birthday gift. Is this called borrowing flowers to offer Buddha? No, borrowing flowers to offer ancestors. That old thing Zhang Wanshan is not qualified to become a Buddha."
When he heard this, Uncle Kun and Zhang Donglai's expressions changed suddenly.
Zhang Donglai shouted: "Bold! Who are you?"
Tang Ya said slowly: "I am the next new inspector of Jianzhou Prefecture, Tang Ya, and my elders are also preparing to attend Zhang Wanshan's birthday party, so I'm here to borrow something from Mr. Zhang as a gift."
Uncle Kun's expression suddenly changed. Of course he knew who Tang Ya was. That was a vicious dog under Chu Xiu's command or an extremely terrifying evil dog. Wei Changling died at his hands!
However, Zhang Donglai did not react. He subconsciously asked: "What are you borrowing?"
Tang Ya still had a lazy smile on her face, but what she said was creepy: "Borrow your head of Mr. Zhang as a congratulatory gift!"
"Young Master, run!"
Uncle Kun immediately took action when he heard this and pulled Zhang Donglai and wanted to escape, but unfortunately, in the face of Tang Ya's body speed, it was a joke that they wanted to escape.
The two dragon-tail soul-chasing darts shone strange arcs towards Uncle Kun, and instantly tore his protective energy apart. Uncle Kun held a long sword and tried almost all his strength to cut down the two dragon-tail soul-chasing darts.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his figure suddenly paused, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes. A dragon-tail soul-chasing dart had completely penetrated him from behind!
Tang Ya's figure moved and he had arrived in front of Zhang Donglai in an instant.
Zhang Donglai's eyes were flashing with fear and he shouted: "Don't kill me! I'm the Zhang family..."
Before he could finish his words, Tang Ya cut his neck directly with a short knife in his hand, and instantly cut off his head and put it in a brocade box without any blood.
Chapter completed!
