"The Zhang family is ahead." Xu Jie looked at the Zhang family in front of him, and his heart was a little complicated. This "supposedly" small family has actually held up half of the sky in Qixia Country, and is now quite legendary.
It has been two days since they arrived in the Kingdom of Qixia. Xu Jie, Yan Qing, and Zheng You are also asking about what kind of family the Zhang family is. But the more they ask, the more unbelievable they are - it's too exaggerated.
Arriving at the gate, Xu Jie told the guard at the gate that he wanted to meet the head of the Zhang family.
The guard was more polite, "The current head of our Zhang family is Master Zhang, and the young master has already gone to Xinglin Hall."
"The head of the family is not Senior Zhang Shengde?" Xu Jie was a little surprised.
"The old master now spends most of his time practicing in seclusion and seldom interferes with family affairs."
Xu Jie thought for a while and told the truth: "We are from the easternmost part of the Fertile Continent. According to Master's last wish, we will return Master's bones to the Zhang family.
According to my master, my aunt's name is Li Yunxiang, and she is the mistress of the Zhang family. So, could you please inform senior Zhang Shengde?"
The guard was stunned immediately, asked Xu Jie and others to wait, and hurriedly ran inside to report. After a moment, Zhang Shengde hurriedly came out, "I am Zhang Shengde, are the three of you all Li Xu's disciples?"
"Senior, I am. My name is Xu Jie. These two are my good friends, Yan Qing and Zheng You."
Yan Qing and Zheng You came forward to pay their respects. Zhang Shengde invited the three of them into the lobby. Xu Jie took out Li Xu's birthday box and said, "Senior, I am originally from the country of Blue Sun, the easternmost part of the Fertile Continent. After becoming a disciple,
, he traveled with his master and arrived at the Kunlun Continent in the center. Half a year later, the master's old injury recurred on the Kunlun Continent and he died.
Because of the long journey, I had to send Master away and only brought a birthday box."
Xu Jie respectfully placed the birthday box on the table.
Zhang Shengde looked at the name "Li Xu" on it and was filled with emotions for a moment. They hadn't seen each other for almost twenty years, but when they met again, it was like this. A slight sourness brewed in Zhang Shengde's heart.
Suddenly Zhang Shengde raised his head and said, "You said that your master has an old injury that has not yet healed?"
"yes."
"Do you know when you were injured?"
"According to what my master said, he was injured more than 20 years ago. After entrusting my master to the seniors, master traveled around and looked for a cure. But in the end... he still... couldn't find it.
Master said that twenty years ago he was already a half-dead man, and after struggling to survive for twenty years, he had already made money."
Zhang Shengde slowly raised his head, feeling extremely complicated. It turned out that twenty years ago, Li Xu suddenly left his sister and left, not because he was ruthless. But... he had to leave because he didn't want his sister to witness his death.
"Senior, this is the letter left by Master." Xu Jie took out two letters, one was written "My personal letter is Zhang Shengde", and the other was written "My sister Li Yunxiang is personally lettered".
Zhang Shengde opened the letter to himself and instantly understood everything.
Li Xu and Li Yunxiang were from the Kingdom of Shaoze. To be precise, they were the young master and son of a small warlord. However, there were endless wars within the Kingdom of Shaoze, and the Li family was wiped out. In times of crisis, only Li Xu and Li Yunxiang escaped;
At that time, Li Xu had already suffered serious internal injuries, and the golden elixir began to die.
Later, while traveling, he accidentally broke into an ancient cave and broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. Only then was he able to live for another twenty years; but twenty years later, he still died.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Shengde arranged for Xu Jie and the others to stay. He carried the birthday box and came to the backyard. Within a moment, heartbreaking cries could be heard.

What happened at the rear has not affected Zhang Hao yet.
At this time, Zhang Haozheng was standing on the top of the city in high spirits, looking for the commander of the Jinyang Kingdom's army with everyone.
Suddenly Dugu Junjie pointed to a hill in the distance in the center of the Jinyang Army: "Is it there?"
Zhou Jue took out a mirror and threw it into the sky. The mirror immediately cast light and shadow in the distance, and the scene on the distant hill unexpectedly appeared in front of everyone.
The picture is a little blurry, but it is much better than what you can see with the naked eye. You can clearly see the picture ten kilometers away behind the formation and the forest: it is indeed where the commander's camp is.
Zhang Hao looked at it curiously, and I was still thinking about getting a telescope to play with, but it turns out that everyone has already come up with tricks. Although it is not clear enough, it is eye-catching.
Zhou Jue smiled proudly at Zhang Hao and said: "The Water Moon Mirror, like the water surface and the shadow of the moon, can bring distant images closer. This is a rare treasure.
Exotic treasures are a special branch of magic weapons.
Magical weapons in the usual sense are directly related to combat; those that do not help in combat, but have wonderful properties, are called exotic treasures."
Zhang Hao rolled his eyes: "I didn't ask you so many questions, you don't need to explain."
Zhou Jue:......
But Dugu Junjie had already excitedly aimed the artillery. "The angle for guns No. 1 to 5 is... 44 degrees; the angle for guns No. 6 to 8 is 42 degrees.
Prepare, aim, and fire!"
"Salvo? Don't you want to adjust after a test firing?" Next to him, Feng Zhiling was a little curious.
Dugu Junjie shook his head: "We only have one chance. Once we fail to achieve our goal the first time, the enemy will inevitably move. Now, we can only take a gamble!"
After Dugu Junjie finished speaking, he personally checked the elevation adjustment of the artillery, and also asked the gunner's opinion. The gunner made subtle adjustments based on experience, and even took out his notebook and calculated it on the spot. These gunners are all core members of the Zhang family.
, mastered basic mathematical knowledge.
Cannon No. 1 to No. 5 have a barrel length of 1.8 meters; while cannon No. 6 to No. 8 have a barrel length of 2.5 meters. Therefore, different calculations and adjustments are required in terms of range and angle.
The soldiers were serious and serious, which actually infected the people around them. The governor of Xingchang County, Gu Xingdong, looked at it curiously: "We are twenty miles away from the commander's camp. Even the flying sword of the Nascent Soul Stage cannot seriously injure the Qi Refining Stage soldiers."
.Can this artillery piece of yours do it?"
Dugu Junjie laughed loudly: "Just wait, Sheriff!"
At this time, the gunners raised their fists one after another, indicating that they were ready.
Dugu Junjie picked up the command flag and waved it fiercely: "Let go!"
The next moment, Xingchang County Governor Gu Xingdong felt his ears buzz, and the world seemed to flip over. A large amount of pungent smoke rose in front of his eyes, and the artillery sprayed flames that were more than one meter long.
Eight cannons fired on the city wall at the same time, and the effect was amazing.
Even Master Zhou Shuhai was so frightened that his calves trembled.
But Zhou Jue, Zhang Hao, Zhang Xinhan, Bai Ye and others looked calmly into the distance. They wanted to see the explosion in the distance.
Dugu Junjie had no intention of paying attention to the distance. He shouted and ordered the soldiers to continue loading the shells. The soldiers quickly removed the shells and loaded new shells.
Dugu Junjie narrowed his eyes and concentrated all his true energy into his eyes, and could vaguely see the trajectory of the cannonball.
Based on the trajectory of the first attack, he ordered the gun barrel to be raised a little and fired another salvo. Then he kept this angle and fired three crazy salvos.
When the soldiers began to load the shells for the fifth time, the first wave of shells finally fell.
…………
But it was said that the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of Jinyang, Sima Zhen, the hussar general of the Kingdom of Jinyang, was planning the next military plan with a confident smile on his face.
In the past two days, Sima Zhen carried out seven tentative attacks; in fact, Sima Zhen was attacking instead of defending - because the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jinyang also needed to rest.
However, the Kingdom of Qixia obviously did not seize this opportunity and was instead on the defensive.
Now, after two days of rest and recuperation, the army has fully recovered, and all kinds of logistical supplies have also caught up. The army has a completely new look!
Looking at the generals, Sima Zhen pointed proudly at the vague city wall twenty miles ahead: "We will attack at midnight today, and tomorrow morning we will celebrate at Xinglin Hall.
I heard that Zhou Shuhai's daughter is not only beautiful, but also has good medical skills. If everyone takes it easy, she might become a crown princess or something."
Zhao Yue next to him was the most excited. This divine archer who had sniped at the emperor of Qixia Kingdom more than ten days ago shouted excitedly: "Commander, I heard that the prince has already made a betrothal gift to the princess of Qixia Kingdom.
?She’s also the Crown Princess, right?”
Sima Zhen laughed: "Haha, she has been demoted. When we capture the Kingdom of Qixia, we can reward her with the position of concubine. Okay, let's stop making trouble... Huh? Why is the other side breathing fire?"
(If you don’t ask for votes, everyone won’t vote...don’t be so realistic o(╥﹏╥)o)
