"That's it for today, let's go!"
Zhang Xi drank a glass of wine and gave orders to everyone. He could no longer drink the banquet at this point.
When the head of the family spoke, everyone nodded in agreement and left without saying a word.
Exited the hall.
Zhang Hao and Zhang Ye looked at Zhang Lin, who was walking silently and with his head lowered in front of him. They wanted to comfort him, but they didn't know where to start. In the end, they had to sigh deeply and leave.
Zhang Jue had long since disappeared. Zhang Lin returned to the room, sent everyone away, and sat there all alone late at night. In the end, he didn't know how he fell asleep.

However, after the reception banquet, Zhang Hao called Zhang Hao, Zhang Ye and Zhang Jue to his study.
When the three people arrived, Zhang Yu was sitting at the head of the table, with a masked man sitting below him.
As soon as Zhang Hao and the others sat down, Zhang Xi put down his tea cup and asked the four of them: "What do you think of today's events?"
The four of them heard the words and looked at each other. Finally, as the eldest son, Zhang Hao stood up and said: "Father, before we can figure out what is going on, we decided that the crowning ceremony of the third brother will not be held in the clan. Isn't it a bit..."
Thousands of years ago, meteorites fell from the sky, and various strange objects and treasures appeared one after another.
At that time, there was a tribe in Bashu who guarded a towering tree called Fusang.
Before the Heavenly Stone fell, Xu Fu, a famous sorcerer in the late Qin Dynasty, persuaded Qin Shihuang to send troops to dig it out, intending to transplant it to the East China Sea Fleet that was seeking the elixir of immortality for Qin Shihuang.
Fusang was one of the rare treasures given to immortals by Qin Shi Huang in exchange for the elixir of immortality.
At that time, there were historical records saying:
There is a tree in Bashu called Fusang.
The tree was so strange that the First Emperor heard about it, so he sent a large army to dig it out and paid it to Xu Fu. He went out of the East China Sea to the Penglai Islands to seek immortality in exchange for the elixir.
When Qi came to Qi, thirty-six strange stones fell from heaven, and they were all the same in the world.
The descendants of the Six Kingdoms used it to confuse the people, saying: Qin has no virtue, no benevolence, no justice, and tyranny...
Later, wars broke out and the world collapsed...
At that time, the mulberry trees were different, and there were crows leaping on them. The guards were very strange, and they urgently reported to the first emperor of Qi Palace.
Before the First Emperor arrived, Sanghu burned himself in the sky.
The guards were all frightened and said: "God is angry."
When the First Emperor came, he heard the words and beheaded him. He was angry, drew his sword and asked the sky: "I, the Qin Dynasty, have devoured the remaining warriors of the Sixth Dynasty, destroyed the princes for two weeks, and moved the prefectures and counties to control the four seas, so that there will be no war in the world."
It is often heard that Zhou was the emperor, but he was unvirtuous and divided the princes, which led to eight hundred years of strife in the world and countless deaths.
The people are resentful, so why not punish them with anger?
Today I rule the world and come to the Supreme Being.
You have failed the three emperors, and your virtue has been transferred to the five emperors. Why are you angry?
After speaking, Zhang Han was ordered to send the people of Linzi to dig holes for them.
Zhang Liang, a Korean at that time, was also included in this list. He went away due to differences and returned with different species, which has been a mystery for hundreds of years.
When the Heavenly Master entered Bashu and saw an old fusang tree, he suddenly felt inspired and went to the Zhang family of the old Han Dynasty to ask for it.
The alien species returned to its original state and grew mulberry trees for nine days, covering the sky. The Zhang family then obtained the veins of the Golden Crow, established a Taoist gate and lived on top of it."
Therefore, the descendants of the Zhang family in Bashu were crowned and crowned under the fusang tree, and lived on top of the fusang tree. When they died, they were buried under it. If the ceremony of crowning and crowning was not held under the fusang tree, they were banished to the branch lineage.
Only enter the genealogy, not the ancestral hall.
Therefore, Zhang Xi's decision not to allow Zhang Lin to go under the hibiscus tree in his clan's territory is no different from directly declaring that Zhang Lin is not his son and directly expelling Zhang's direct lineage.

In Zhang Hao's view, even if Zhang Lin suddenly disappeared and reappeared during this period, and why he integrated the Golden Crow bloodline in advance was puzzling, the Dongying people were ready to make a move at this time, but they deprived Zhang Lin and Guan of their clan membership.
, in Zhang Hao's opinion, it is extremely cruel and ruthless.
Especially when the situation is not yet clear.
When Zhang Xi heard this, he said: "Every one of us, including me, including the clansmen who are practicing in seclusion in the clan, everyone has an obligation and responsibility to ensure the safety of the clan. What we want is to be foolproof.
Lin'er's current situation is unclear. What he has to do is to explain himself clearly, or wait for us to find out.
Who in the entire Blue Star doesn’t know? It’s not just a day or two that the Dongying people covet our clan’s sacred objects.
They are determined to be evil and attack again. Lin'er has problems again at this time. We have to take precautions. What happened back then must not happen again."
When Zhang Ye heard this, his brows were furrowed, and he asked Zhang Jue on the side: "Grandpa Jue, do you really not know what is going on with the third brother?
You always know that the matter of getting the crown is of great importance. It only happens once in a person's life. If we can't figure it out before the third brother gets the crown and miss this time, then the third brother and his descendants..."
Zhang Jue sighed and said helplessly: "Second Young Master, as you said, I know that once you are expelled from your ancestral home, it will be extremely difficult to come back.
But I watched the third young master grow up, and I spent more time with him than all of you young masters combined.
I don’t want to see the third young master unable to go to the clan and reach the crown, but..."
Zhang Jue smiled bitterly and said: "I am also derelict in my duty. If I can't find out, the third young master cannot go to the clan and get the title. I will protect the third young master and his descendants for the rest of his life and his descendants from generation to generation, and I will never set foot in it again."
One step closer to the clan."
"Why is Uncle Jue doing this?" Zhang Yu said: "The other party can take away Lin'er under your eyes at the late stage of Jindan, at least he is also a strong man in the middle and late stage of Nascent Soul. How can you stop him?
I just don’t know what the other party is trying to do. Senior Daomen will come tomorrow, and I hope to be able to check something out.
Zhang Xi sighed and said with hope: "I hope it can be solved as soon as possible, preferably before Lin'er and Guan."
Zhang Hao arrived: "Father, don't worry, my second brother and I will find out before the third brother gets the crown, and we will definitely let the third brother get the crown in the clan as scheduled."
"Do your best!" Zhang Yu said: "The most important thing now is to find out the conspiracy of the Dongying people. As for Lin'er... do your best and listen to fate!"
"...Yes!"ж4
"Just go down if you have nothing to do!" Zhang Xi waved his hand and motioned for a few people to step back and said: "Everyone do your best, the battle on the front line is not optimistic, and we need to be ready to go back at any time."
"promise!"
Several people exited the study room, and Zhang Hao said to Zhang Jue: "Grandpa Jue, please move over. We only know the general outline of what you said in your letter, and the details. You have been talking to the two of us so that we can refer to it.
See what clues there are."
"Okay!" Zhang Jue nodded slightly and said, "You two young masters, please come this way!"
Zhang Hao and Zhang Ye returned the greeting: "Grandpa Jue, please go first!"
The three of them came to Zhang Jue's study and talked about what happened recently.
"According to what Grandpa Jue said, you did not notice any energy fluctuations at that time. The third child disappeared at home and was not seen for three days, but there was nothing abnormal about his soul card. When he appeared three days later, there was nothing unusual.
But one day later, when he was at school, he suddenly merged with the Golden Crow bloodline, and his cultivation level increased a lot. He also fell in love with drawing talismans. He also mastered at least one spiritual level thunder talisman and one ordinary talisman seal script.
And on the day when he merged his bloodline, you found out that someone else had sneaked into Zhengnan Mansion because the kitchen chef made wild goose fish that was supposed to be given to the fourth child but was served as lunch to the third child's table.
At first you thought it was a small move by other aristocratic families, because in the past few years, the main characters of Zhang's army have been fighting in Astia, and many small aristocratic families have been making constant moves.
But under the investigation of the shadow guards and secret guards, it was discovered that there were people from Dongying, so you suspected that the disappearance of the third child might be related to the people from Dongying.
At this time, it is the coronation ceremony of the third child. I am afraid that what happened back then will happen again, and you are unable to make a choice. You have to write to your father and let him make a decision.
This is roughly the situation, right? Grandpa Jue."
"Yes, young master."
Zhang Jue sighed and said: "Because of the appearance of those Dongying people, the disappearance of the third young master is no longer something I can decide.
As a last resort, Commander Zhang Jiuyou and I just informed the tribe to take precautions and also informed the master to make a decision.
Unexpectedly, the master is back, which shows that his love for the third young master is still the same as before."
When Zhang Hao and Zhang Hao heard this, they shook their heads and smiled at the same time: "My father has a sharp mouth and a tofu heart."
Then they each secretly said: "Dong Yingren, Lao San, disappeared, loves to draw talismans..."
Zhang Hao and Zhang Ye replayed the possible relationship between Zhang Lin and Dongying people scene by scene in their minds based on Zhang Jue's detailed information.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Hao opened his eyes and asked: "Grandpa Jue, where did the third child disappear? Where did he appear again?"
"In his bedroom, he disappeared for less than three breaths, and I discovered it. He also appeared in his bedroom, without any warning."
Zhang Ye frowned and said: "Disappeared silently and appeared without warning? Brother, why do I feel that the third child is changing into a real person?"
"When?" Zhang Hao glared at Zhang Ye, and then told the two of them his guess: "According to Grandpa Jue's description, if there are no other errors, the disappearance of the third child has nothing to do with the appearance of the Dongying people.
The Zhengnan Mansion is heavily guarded. After what happened last time, the defenses against the Dongying people are also very tight. With the strength of Zhengnan Mansion’s guards and the Dongying people’s ninjutsu, even if the special ninja takes action, they cannot silence the people.
Take it away without interest.
Not to mention that in the backyard close to the ancestral temple, there is a barrier placed by a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse himself.
They want to take away the third child in Zhengnan Mansion, unless..."
Zhang Ye said coldly: "Unless the Dongying people send a powerful master of the God Transformation Realm."
Zhang Hao solemnly shook his head and said: "Dongying only has two or three Nascent Soul Peaks sitting in charge. Where did the gods come from?
Meteors fell from the sky, those who gained the skills of cultivation and reached the state of becoming gods can only be counted on both hands.
Today, the only great masters in the realm of gods are only in our Chinese Empire.
If Dong Ying leaves the realm of transformation into gods, someone in our empire will definitely feel it."
Zhang Jue nodded and said: "What the eldest son said is reasonable. Besides, if Dong Yingren has such virtue and has emerged from the realm of transformation into gods, I am afraid that his first request is to compete with China for military power in Astia, and then use force to
Oppress other small countries to come to them.
They don't have time to come to Bashu and do these evil things.
After all, if Dongying becomes a powerful person in the realm of gods, their strength will rise from second-rate to first-rate. What they are most concerned about is the redistribution of resources, at least they are unwilling to surrender to the control of the Western Church.
Becoming an independent kingdom is what they want to do."
"Independent kingdom?" Zhang Ye said with a smile: "Grandpa Jue is still so conservative. I think if they don't proclaim themselves emperor, they will be sorry for any powerful person in the realm of gods."
Zhang Jue thought about it, shook his head and said: "That's true!"
