About six or seven days had passed since the attack. On this day, a group of people came to the Magic Academy. These people were not weak. The middle-aged man who led them actually had a saint-level cultivation. His powerful aura shocked the students back again and again. This person's name
His name is Zhang Zaitian, leader of the Western Army, and the third-ranked second-rank prince in the New Kingdom, second only to the "emperor father" Prince Ji Xiang and first-rank prince Ji Wuyong.
The title of the New Year Kingdom is very "simple", with only two levels of eighteen ranks, which is very different from the "gonghou, son, male" method of the previous Nian Kingdom. There are three categories at the lower level, princess, county prince, and marquis. Those with royal blood are knighted.
Starting from the ninth-grade county prince; those who are not of royal blood will start from the ninth-grade marquis. If a woman is knighted, regardless of the royal surname or not, she will start from the ninth-grade princess.
The upper two categories are kings and princes. Ji surnames are princes and non-ji surnames are kings. There is no other difference between the two except for the name. The princess title is also promoted to kings and princes. For example, the deputy director of Jixiang Magic Academy
Dean Ji Xinyun, the eldest daughter of the late Emperor Ji Yuan, and the sister of the five current emperors Ji Xinji and Jianlan Chanhuai, she is the fourth-grade prince.
The college welcomed Zhang Zaitian's arrival with the highest reception standards. However, although many college leaders were very considerate in all aspects, General Zhang did not look happy at all, and looked like he was looking for trouble. "Where is my child Jiyan?!"
Zhang Zaitian asked with fighting spirit in his voice.
"Go back to the general, she should be in the apartment." The instructor in charge of Ji Yan's magic study carefully replied, "Princess Yan has been meditating by herself in the apartment except for borrowing magic books from the library."
"Take me there!" Zhang Zaitian said.
"Please, please come this way." The instructor lowered his head and walked in front, leading General Zhang to find Ji Yan.
"Wait!" Before he had taken a few steps, Zhang Zaitian saw Ji'e and Ji Huai in the crowd, "You two, come here."
Ji'e and Ji Huai were startled, walked tremblingly in front of Zhang Zaitian, knelt down and saluted, "I've met my uncle."
Zhang Zaitian looked at them and said, "Bang!" A whip hit the two of them, and a deep blood mark suddenly appeared on Ji'e's body.
"General, what are you doing?" A teacher quickly protected two students, "Why did you hit them?"
"I don't like it!" Zhang Zaitian asked coldly, "Isn't it possible?"
"Of course." The teacher didn't dare to say anything. The Zhang family is a big family and holds the strongest army in the New Year Kingdom. In order to win over the Zhang family, King Jixiang promised them to "not listen to instructions or announcements, only listen to invitations."
Zhang Zaitian did not say that he beat his two children, but he beat Jian Lan, Chanhua Huaiwu in the capital.
No one dares to care about anyone. "My lord, you are an adult. If they make mistakes, please ignore the villain. If you are still angry, you can hit me. I am their mentor. If you want to do anything to them,
You...you...you..." the teacher said through gritted teeth, "beat me to death first!"
"Huh! You are very brave." Zhang Zaitian pointed at the instructor and asked, "What is your name?"
"I'm Yang Heng." The instructor replied.
"Your surname is Yang?" Zhang Zaitian looked at Yang Heng's face and asked, "Who are you, Yang Guanglin?"
"It's my father." Yang Heng said.
"Hahaha..." Zhang Zaitian laughed, "I never thought that the Prime Minister, a civil servant, could raise such a strong-minded son like you." His words seemed to look down on Yang Guanglin a little, but he probably couldn't refute it even if the Prime Minister was present. "
You're good. Follow me from now on." After saying that, the general continued to walk towards Ji Yan's apartment.
Yang Heng looked at the general who was walking away, frozen on the spot, motionless.
"Brother, are you okay?" Yang Yin came over and helped his elder brother up.
Yang Heng shook his head, stood up, and told Ji'e and Ji Huai to rest in his apartment for the past few days and not come out. After the instructions, he went back to his dormitory alone.
"Brother, you...?" Yang Yin wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.
Li Yang shook his head: "There is no other way. He can only follow General Zhang to the West City." As the daughter of Li Ziwei, the prime minister of the West who specializes in military affairs, she has heard the legend about "Zhang Zaitian" from her father countless times. Zhang Zaitian's words
It's not an imperial edict, but few people dare to violate it.
…………………………
Following his mentor to find Ji Yan's apartment, Zhang Zaitian carefully observed the surrounding environment. Even though several days had passed, he could still deduce some situations during the "assassination".
"Ji Yan, your uncle General Zhang is here to see you." The instructor shouted through the door.
"Come in." Ji Yan said calmly.
Zhang Zaitian walked into the room and looked at his niece, whom he had not seen for many years, with tears streaming down his face. "Yan'er, do you still recognize your uncle?"
Ji Yan looked at the middle-aged man in front of her. She could clearly feel his sincerity, but she still shook her head and said, "I don't know him."
"I'm sorry." Zhang Zaitian didn't mind Ji Yan's answer and said, "It's all my uncle's fault for not being able to take you with me because of his poor cultivation, so that you... Sigh~ It's all my uncle's fault, it's all my uncle's fault. Wuwu
Ugh..." The general burst into tears.

"Now there is an urgent problem that needs to be solved." Birdman pointed at Zhang Xiaocao and Zhang Xiaoshu, "Each of you has a seal in your body, which I cannot break for the time being. You are also unable to learn magic and fighting spirit for the time being."
"Can it be broken?" Zhang Xiaoshu asked.
"Haha. We can't, but someone can." Swing didn't answer, but smiled, "You go back today. Come back in a few days."
"But the seal..." Zhang Xiaocao was a little anxious. She had been envious of the students in the academy who could use magical magic since she was a child.
"Go back." Birdman said, "You don't have to do anything. Maybe the seal will be lifted by itself after you sleep."
Zhang Xiaocao and Zhang Xiaoshu were dubious. They said goodbye to the crow and the fox and returned home. Their grandfather was drunk and sleeping in the house as usual. Seeing that it was almost time, Zhang Xiaoshu and his sister started cooking.
"Hey? You are back." Zhang Kang woke up from his sleep, "Where did you go today? Why are you back now?"
"We went to the river to play for a while." Zhang Xiaocao said.
"By the river?" Zhang Kang stood up and sat down at the table to wait for his meal, "Is it fun?"
"It's okay." Zhang Xiaoshu replied.
The three of them went back and forth and talked nonsense. Zhang Xiaocao suddenly asked: "Grandpa, are there any saint-level magicians from the academy living near our house?"
Zhang Kang was stunned: "Why do you ask about this?"
Zhang Xiaocao said: "Nothing, just asking."
"No." Zhang Kang just thought it was a casual question from his grandson. "There is no one else in this barren mountain except my family."
Xiaocao put the food on the table and the three of them started to eat. Halfway through the meal, Xiaoshu said jokingly: "The holy magician that Brother Jade Bird Man is talking about can't be you, grandpa, right?"
"Pfft!" Zhang Kang spat out a mouthful of rice. "Who, who, who... who told you."
Zhang Xiaocao looked at his brother complainingly. He clearly promised not to "confess" the swing and the birdman. "It's nothing, brother just guessed."
Zhang Kang thought for a while and asked: "Were those two students still by the river a few days ago? Is the Jade Bird Man you just mentioned the same gangster who followed Xiaocao before?"
"No. They..." Before Xiaocao could finish speaking, he saw a person appear out of thin air at the door from the corner of his eye. He was startled. "Grandpa, there is someone!"
Zhang Kang saw clearly who was coming and comforted his grandchildren, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's your uncle. Don't be afraid."
