Zhangjiazhuang is located on flat land, only about three miles away from the county seat.

The walls of the manor are very high and thick, with a place for archers to stand and a watchtower. It doesn't look like a manor, but like a castle.

In the northeast corner of the manor, there is a small temple. In the temple, a golden statue of Buddha is enshrined. There are two monks, one master and one disciple.

The temple and the monks are all supported by Zhang Guangcheng, and it is his family temple.

Inside the Mahavira Hall.

Zhang Guangcheng, who is in his fifties, is dressed in monk's robes, with disheveled hair, kneeling in front of the gilded golden body of the Buddha, holding rosary beads, the statue is solemn, and reciting the Diamond Sutra.

A handsome young monk accompanied him in chanting sutras. An old monk struck the wooden fish regularly.

The sandalwood is burning and the smoke fills the hall, which is very Zen-like.

Zhang Guangcheng has been rich for more than 20 years. In the first ten years, he drank and had sex, and in the next ten years, he fasted and chanted Buddha's name. In his later years, he even thought about becoming a monk.

"Da da da!"

There was a sound of rapid footsteps, and Zhang Guangcheng's eldest son Zhang Yongyuan walked in quickly from outside, breaking the Zen mood in the main hall.

The two monks looked up at Zhang Yongyuan, clasped their hands and said, "Amitabha." Then they stood up and left.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Guangcheng sighed, opened his eyes and asked.

"Father, a large number of people are coming straight towards us." Zhang Yongyuan walked up to Zhang Guangcheng, knelt down and said.

"Do you know who it is?" Zhang Guangcheng lowered his eyes, clasped his hands and asked.

"He is from Wu Nian, the Liaodong Tiger." Zhang Yongyuan nodded and said.

"Misfortune has come. It flourishes and then declines, and when the moon is full, it loses. This is the end of our Zhang family." Zhang Guangcheng opened his eyes slightly and said with a sigh and relief.

Zhang Yongyuan frowned. The older the old man got, the weirder his temper became. What does it mean to eat fast and chant Buddha's name all day long?

And he always said depressing words.

"Why should my father be so pessimistic? Is there any difference between Wu Nian and the Meng Yuan people, and the generals of Liaodong? As long as we give them money, we can have a harmonious relationship with them. The Zhang family can stand firm."

Zhang Yongyuan retorted.

"Hey." Zhang Guangcheng looked at his son and sighed. This son was like himself in his early years, daring to do anything, fearless of everything, and also ruthless.

Is there any difference between Liaodong generals, Mongolian and Yuan people, and Wu Nian?

There really is a difference.

People who serve as generals in Liaodong can be deceived and bribed.

Meng Yuan people can be afraid and bribed, but they cannot deceive.

Wu Nian cannot be deceived or bribed. It is like a stone without cracks, and no oil or salt can enter.

This kind of person is the most terrifying.

"Just do whatever you want. It's up to you." When Zhang Guangcheng thought of this, he said no more, clasped his hands together, knelt in front of the Buddha's golden body, and chanted in a low voice.

"Father, you. Hey." Zhang Yongyuan felt suffocated when he saw his father like this. He sighed, stood up, and stomped away.

It is impossible to stop it.

Can't stop it.

After Zhang Yongyuan left the temple, he turned to his confidant slave and said: "Let Miss Wang prepare. I have raised her for ten years, and it is time for her to help me."

"Prepare a banquet of the highest standard."

"Count the silver, gold, cloth, and granaries in the treasury."

"Yes." The confidant's servant responded, turned around and left.

"I don't believe it. What's the difference between Wu Nian and Liaodong generals and Meng Yuan people?" Zhang Yongyuan sneered and quickly came to the door of the manor. Someone opened the door and asked the slaves to put away their swords and wait for Wu Nian.

.

Miss Wang's name is Wang Xuanji, she is sixteen years old, and she was born in a beautiful country. Because of her family's decline, she almost fell into prostitution. He rescued her and helped her get revenge. He has been raising her in the mansion, teaching chess, calligraphy, painting, and the skills of serving men.

, in case of emergency.

He planned to find an opportunity to give Wang Xuanji to Wu Nian as his concubine.

"General, the Zhangjiazhuang is ahead." A large group of people surrounded Wu Nian. Li Tianbao walked forward along the avenue. Zhangjiazhuang appeared in front. Li Tianbao pointed at the manor.

"Yeah." Wu Nian hummed, then rode on his horse, and after a while, he arrived at the gate of the manor.

"Li Tianbao?" Zhang Yongyuan recognized Li Tianbao and narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a trace of murderous intent. As soon as Wu Nian's army arrived in Jinghai County, someone from Wu Nian suddenly visited his manor.

It must be related to Li Tianbao.

But Zhang Yongyuan is puzzled. His family has always been very secretive in their affairs. Even Mengyuan people can get away with it. Why would Li Tianbao know about it?

Zhang Yongyuan didn't have time to think too much, and quickly bowed to Wu Nian and saluted, and said: "This sir, I am Zhang Yongyuan. I don't know why this sir came to my Zhangjiazhuang?"

"I am Wu Nian. I am here to find your father." Wu Nian glanced at Zhang Yongyuan, and then waved his right hand.

The hundreds of households that followed immediately said hello and filed in with soldiers. The whole Zhangjiazhuang was in a state of panic in an instant.

Whether they were old people, women, domestic slaves, or guards, they were all invited out.

Zhang Yongyuan suddenly felt something bad, Wu Nian actually came in person?!!!!!

Sweat was pouring from his head, but he did not dare to resist at all. He could only forcefully laugh, clasped his fists and saluted, "Greetings to General Fuhan."

"Yeah." Wu Nian hummed, but still had no intention of dismounting. Li Tianbao gave Zhang Yongyuan a sneer.

"General Zhang Guangcheng is in the manor." Soon after, a member of the household came out and bowed to Wu Nian to report.

Wu Nian got off his horse, turned around and said to the soldiers: "Take care of them all, don't let any of them escape."

"yes."

The soldiers responded. Wu Nian and Li Tianbao entered the manor together.

"General." Zhang Yongyuan was sweating like rain, and he hurriedly wanted to pursue him. However, he was stopped by the fierce soldiers. The soldiers held the handle of the knife at his waist and said solemnly: "Don't test my bottom line. If you dare to take another step, I will

Then I will kill you."

Zhang Yongyuan suddenly became decadent and stood there in fear.

What to do now?

He, who had always been smart and capable, suddenly became at a loss.

Wu Nian and Li Tianbao walked along the corridor, with soldiers standing guard on both sides. Soon after, they came to the small temple and entered the Main Hall.

A group of soldiers were scattered in the main hall, eyeing Zhang Guangcheng.

"Are you Zhang Guangcheng?" Wu Nian glanced at Zhang Guangcheng's dress, then looked at the surrounding decorations, especially at the Buddha's golden body, and mocked: "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately?"

"If you are so afraid, why don't you raise your butcher knife and go on a killing spree. If someone stands in your way, you will kill someone, and if you stand in the way of a Buddha, you will kill the Buddha."

"General Wu, please be careful with your words in front of the Buddha." Zhang Guangcheng had already learned Wu Nian's identity from his own soldiers. He sighed, clasped his hands together, and said.

"In my life, I killed people, set fires, slaughtered cities and destroyed countries. I have no connection with Buddha. There is no need to be cautious." Wu Nian waved his hand, then came to sit down opposite Zhang Guangcheng, raised his head and said: "Old boy, I know what you did.

I’m just going to ask you one thing. Just one thing.”
