Chapter 1948: The attitude of the Shangguan family
Zhang Xiaotian thought that the news of his decisive battle with Leng Shuihan would quickly spread throughout the imperial capital, but he did not expect it to be so fast.
When he returned to Shangguan's house, Mr. Shangguan immediately came up to him and asked, "Xiaotian, are you okay? That Leng Shuihan didn't do anything to you, right?"
Zhang Xiaotian shook his head with a wry smile. Looking at Mr. Shangguan's look, he obviously knew everything.
"What can he do to me?"
Zhang Xiaotian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Today he issued a challenge to me. In three days, we will fight to the death at Yanbo Lake. In these three days, there is no way he can do anything to me."
"What?"
Hearing this, Shangguan Jinhong exclaimed, stood up directly, and said: "Why are you so stupid? If he makes a challenge to you, just accept it. This is the imperial capital. Even if you don't accept it,
It's impossible for him to do anything to you, why would you do that?"
Zhang Xiaotian looked at Shangguan Jinhong in surprise, wondering why he was like this.
Shangguan Jinhong was very dissatisfied with him before, why is he like this now?
"Uncle Shangguan, I have never known Leng Shuihan before. There is no reason for him to declare a challenge to me today. In other words, someone wants to kill me. Even if I don't accept it, the people behind the scenes will definitely think of other ways to do it.
Instead of killing me, I might as well just do it, so at least the other party can't assassinate me secretly."
Zhang Xiaotian said.
After Shangguan Jinhong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. Obviously, he knew that what Zhang Xiaotian said made sense.
If the other party couldn't kill him openly, they would definitely assassinate Zhang Xiaotian secretly.
"Xiaotian, how about I take you to see Gu Xichao and ask him to come forward to cancel the decisive battle between you and Leng Shuihan."
Shangguan Xiangyun said.
"Take me to see Gu Xichao?"
Zhang Xiaotian said with a surprised look on his face.
"Yes, I still have some friendship with Gu Xichao. If I step forward, he will probably intervene."
Shangguan Xiangyun said.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaotian shook his head and said, "He will not intervene."
"Why is this?"
Shangguan Xiangyun said with confusion on his face.
Zhang Xiaotian pondered for a while and said: "Old man, do you think Gu Xichao doesn't know that Leng Shuihan is proposing war against me?
I think that's obviously not the case. Since he knew, why didn't he stop it?
Even if you show up now, will he change his mind?"
"Hey, there is nothing he doesn't know about in this imperial capital city."
Shangguan Xiangyun sighed, looked at Zhang Xiaotian and said, "You kid, you think about things more thoughtfully than I do."
He was very surprised. Even in the face of this dilemma, he could still think of this. Not everyone can do it.
If this kid really grows up, it will definitely be known to the whole world.
Shangguan Xiangyun really didn't think that much just now. If he had thought of this, he wouldn't have said anything to plead for Zhang Xiaotian.
If Gu Xichao acquiesces to this matter, it will be difficult to handle.
From this point of view, a battle between Zhang Xiaotian and Leng Shuihan is inevitable.
"Boy, tell the truth, are you confident about fighting Leng Shuihan?"
Shangguan Xiangyun asked.
Zhang Xiaotian smiled calmly and said: "Old man, since I dare to take it, I must be certain. I will not do anything to send someone to death. Although I am not absolutely sure, I am confident that I can kill him. Maybe his cultivation level is far higher."
Above me, but so what, people with stronger cultivation than me have not fallen in my hands."
After Shangguan Xiangyun heard this, he said: "Since you said so, I have nothing to say, but you still have to be fully prepared. The most powerful thing about Leng Shuihan is the sword in his hand. You
If you want to deal with his sword, if you need anything, just tell me, I know a few forging masters, and if you want any useful weapons, I can ask them to help you make them."
"Old man, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need any of this."
Zhang Xiaotian shook his head and said.
"Boy, did you listen? I just said that Leng Shuihan's most powerful sword is his. How can you fight him without a weapon?"
Shangguan Jinhong looked at Zhang Xiaotian as if he hated iron.
Zhang Xiaotian also knew that Shangguan Jinhong was caring about him, but when he heard this, he felt helpless.
"Uncle Shangguan, who said that fighting requires weapons?"
Zhang Xiaotian said with a smile, "Leng Shuihan's most powerful weapon is the sword in his hand. If the sword is gone, then his strength will be compromised. By the same token, these things are not what I am good at. If you impose something on me,
On the contrary, this will greatly reduce my strength and prevent me from performing well."
Shangguan Jinhong also knows that he is not a warrior and does not understand these things.
In his opinion, how can one beat a man with a sword with bare hands?
Zhang Xiaotian didn't explain to him. After all, the other party didn't understand martial arts at all, and his explanation was completely bullshit.
Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, looked at Shangguan Xiangyun and said with a smile: "Old man, some weapons are actually very helpful. If you have channels, you can get some from me."
"What weapon do you want?"
Shangguan Xiangyun said hurriedly, "No matter what weapon you like, I will find a way to get it for you."
"Hey, it's very simple, I want a gun!"
"You want a gun?"
Shangguan Xiangyun couldn't help but was stunned, then nodded and said, "You are talking about the red tassel spear, right? I know this. Generally, the spear is relatively long. Even if the opponent's sword skills are powerful, it can restrain him. I will arrange it right away and let you cast it for you."
I don’t know how long you want a gun, what else do you want?”
"No, no, old man, I think you misunderstood. What I want is a gun with modern weapons, a loaded gun."
"What did you say?"
When Shangguan Xiangyun heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He really wanted to go up and beat this boy up.
I was so serious about trying to find a solution for the other party, but it turned out that this guy was just joking with him.
"Do you want these bombs?"
Shangguan Xiangyun was angry.
"Hey, if you can get it, of course I want it too."
Zhang Xiaotian said with a smile.
"Go away, you kid really dare to ask for it."
Shangguan Xiangyun was laughed directly by Zhang Xiaotian.
Shangguan Jinhong, who was standing aside, was in a bad mood. This guy, Qing Qing, deceived his daughter in this way, right?
If Zhang Xiaotian knew what Shangguan Jinhong was thinking at this time, he would definitely scream that he was wronged. He would not dare to bully Shangguan Wan'er. He was the one being bullied from the beginning to the end.
"Old man, just kidding to lighten the mood."
Zhang Xiaotian smiled lightly.
"You brat, I see you are in a good mood. Then go and rest quickly. Just stay here with us to prepare for the next three days."
Shangguan Xiangyun said, "By the way, as I said before, if I need any help, just ask, and your uncle Shangguan will try his best to satisfy you."
After hearing these words, Shangguan Jinhong felt bad. He had become a servant in love. If anyone knew that the head of the three major aristocratic families in the imperial capital was serving a young man, how would he have any face in the circle in the future?
Mix it up.
But the old man has already spoken out, how dare he try to cause trouble?
"Old man, there's no need for this. I just need to rest for these three days."
Zhang Xiaotian said.
How dare he ask Shangguan Jinhong to serve him?
Even if Shangguan Jinhong is willing, Shangguan Wan'er will definitely not be able to spare him.
Only then did Shangguan Jinhong glance at Zhang Xiaotian, as if to say, I guess you are a wise boy.
After chatting with the officials for a while, Zhang Xiaotian went to rest.
