Chapter seven hundred and seventy seventh turn ruthless
After a few glasses of wine, Zong Jiupeng took the initiative to propose a toast to Zhang Chi: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for saving Feixue from the fire and water. I'll toast you with this glass of wine."
Zhang Chi said: "Mr. Zong, you are too polite. If you see any injustice, you will draw your sword to help. In fact, if it were anyone else, I would save him."
Zong Jiupeng said: "They say they are brave and heroic, and I have seen it in you. No wonder Feixue is willing to follow you wholeheartedly."
Zhang Chi drank this glass of wine and heard something in Zong Jiupeng's words, but he didn't answer it, not wanting to give Zong Jiupeng a chance to continue to show off. He had more sympathy for Huang Feixue than love. It should be said that he had no special purpose for Huang Feixue.
, it was just a coincidence that he came across her, so he came to help. As he said, he would save anyone if it were him. The reason why he agreed to take Huang Feixue in was because he couldn't bear to see her fall into Du Beifeng's hands.
I know that Du Beifeng and Huang Feixue are actually father and daughter.
When Zong Jiupeng saw that Zhang Chi didn't answer his words, he could only continue: "I heard from Feixue that Huang Feihong gave her to you."
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "Mr. Zong, I told Feixue that she is free, and I do not treat her as a slave. Now that she can reunite with you, I am naturally happy for her."
Huang Feixue was a little disappointed when she heard this. Of course she could understand what Zhang Chi meant.
Zong Jiupeng smiled and said: "Of course my granddaughter, Zong Jiupeng, will not be your slave, but she can marry you as your wife!"
Immortal Zhang actually felt something was amiss as soon as he arrived, and Zong Jiupeng actually pointed it out directly.
Huang Feixue's face turned red with embarrassment, but her eyes revealed the joy in her heart.
Before Zhang Chi could speak, Xue Nu had already snorted coldly and said, "Is it worthy?"
Huang Feixue's heart sank, and murderous intent loomed on her pretty face. Although it was a fleeting expression, it was still keenly captured by Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi felt that Huang Feixue had changed a lot. She didn't have such a big temper in the past.
Zong Jiupeng looked at Xue Nu coldly and said, "I am talking to Zhang Chi, is there a slave girl who can interrupt?"
Zhang Chi was really speechless. Did Zong Jiupeng think that he was nobler than Xue Nu? He smiled and said: "Mr. Zong, Xue Nu's words are indeed lacking, but I can discipline my people, so I won't bother Mr. Zong.
As for your kindness, I appreciate it."
How could Zong Jiupeng not understand what he was saying? The smile on his face suddenly faded and he said: "Zhang Chi, do you think I, Zong, can't reach you?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "Mr. Zong, please don't misunderstand me. It's because I can't afford it. To be honest, I already have a wife."
Zong Jiupeng said: "Wouldn't it be gone if you die?" He looked at the snow girl with solemn eyes.
Xue Nu was not afraid of him either and looked at Zong Jiupeng coldly.
Zhang Chi said: "Mr. Zong, don't vent your anger on innocent people."
Huang Feixue was extremely disappointed. She thought she would get what she wanted today, but she didn't expect Zhang Chi to refuse without hesitation. Could it be that in his heart, she was still inferior to Xue Nu? Huang Feixue bit her lips and said, "Grandpa, don't be embarrassed.
Young Master."
Zong Jiupeng said: "Okay, I won't embarrass him, I will kill this slave."
Zhang Chi was really angry. Zong Jiupeng was still the same Zong Jiupeng. He had a surly temperament and would fall out at any time. There was something wrong with what Huang Feixue said just now. Don't embarrass the young master. Didn't this remind Zong Jiupeng to target Xue Nu?
Zhang Chi believes that Huang Feixue's change should be related to melanin. Although Zong Jiupeng rescued Huang Feixue, he was not able to remove the melanin from her body. After all, Huang Feixue is Du Beifeng's daughter. Getting a wife in Netherworld Ruins is something like this.
Zhang Chi really never thought that if he really wanted to consider it, Qin Luzhu and Xue Nu would be among his considerations, but Huang Feixue should not be included. Although he and Huang Feixue had known each other for a while and had many experiences of sharing joys and sorrows, Zhang Chi had never
It is impossible to understand her without trying to understand her.
Zong Jiupeng's behavior was obviously a bit rude. Zhang Chi still maintained his demeanor and stopped Xue Nu from having an attack on the spot. He stood up and said, "In this case, we'd better leave first."
Zong Jiupeng stared at Zhang Chi with his gloomy eyes. He did not expect that Zhang Chi would reject him in person. He was a very face-loving person and regarded his granddaughter as the apple of his eye. Zhang Chi's rejection made him feel extremely ashamed and humiliated.
Huang Feixue said: "Grandpa, what are you doing? Didn't you agree to drink?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "Does Mr. Zong really intend to keep me?"
Zong Jiupeng snorted coldly. He weighed the pros and cons in his mind. If he attacked Xue Nu now, Zhang Chi would definitely join forces with her. He was really not sure about taking them both down.
Zhang Chi left with Xue Nu, and Huang Feixue came out to see her off, apologizing to Zhang Chi and saying, "Master, I'm sorry, my grandpa..."
The snow girl interrupted her and said: "Since you have made a contract, don't forget your identity. You are just the master's slave girl."
Zhang Chi didn't want them to continue to conflict, so he asked Xue Nu to go a few steps ahead and wait for him. He stopped and said to Huang Feixue: "Feixue, Mr. Zong knows that I don't belong here. I understand his kindness. If there is any blame,
Wherever I go, let him come at me, it’s better not to anger others."
Huang Feixue pursed her lips, looking a little aggrieved: "Young Master, did you blame me?"
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "You finally found your relatives, you should be happy." He reached out and pinched Huang Feixue's pretty face, then turned and left.
Huang Feixue looked at his back foolishly, Zhang Chi never looked back.
The meal at noon was really depressing, and Zong Jiupeng's good mood was ruined. Xue Nu said angrily: "Master, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have looked good to him."
Zhang Chi said: "It's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies." He didn't want to be an enemy of Zong Jiupeng, not because he was afraid of Zong Jiupeng, but because he had more important things to do. What's more, if they really fell out, Huang Feixue would be caught in the middle.
It will be difficult to do.
Snow Girl said: "That Huang Feixue is really true, she doesn't know her identity? A slave girl actually wants to marry her master."
Zhang Chi burst out laughing. When Xue Nu heard his laughter, she realized that she was obviously jealous when she just spoke. She blushed and whispered: "Master, don't get me wrong, I'm not jealous."
Zhang Chi smelled an aroma, followed the aroma and looked around, and saw a cake shop not far away. They had hardly eaten at noon. Zhang Chi went to the cake shop and bought a few freshly baked egg cakes and two bowls of sweet soup.
, I ate it with Yuki-onna, and I didn’t expect it to be very delicious, and it actually gave me the feeling of being in a dessert shop outside.
Zhang Chi took a sip of the sweet soup and said: "This tastes really good. Sure enough, delicious food is among the people." He has been to many places in Netherworld Ruins. To be fair, the cooking standards in Netherworld Ruins are generally low. The most delicious meal he has ever eaten is Ji Chang.
At home, Ji Chang taught the cooks step by step how to cook, and he brought all the recipes from outside.
This is also the reason why Cao Chengguang shamelessly stays at Ji Chang's house. The food in Netherworld Ruins is generally too unpalatable.
Snow Girl whispered to Zhang Chi that this cake shop belonged to the temple. Zhang Chi guessed what was going on after thinking about it for a while. The high priest Qin Junyao came from the outside world, and she must have spread the dessert making method.
The temple also needs funds to maintain, and this cake shop is equivalent to the temple's tertiary property.
The business of the cake shop was good, and people were coming and going inside. When I heard someone talking about the envoys from various parties, Xue Nu took the initiative to go to the temple to find the high priest to ask about the situation. Zhang Chi and her split up, and he went back to Ji Chang first.
Go check out the progress of the alchemy furnace and medicinal materials.
He and Xue Nu broke up in front of the cake shop. Zhang Chi walked along the street towards Riyueji Winery. Before he had gone too far, he saw a gray-haired old man walking towards him. He said with a smile: "Master Zhang, don't come here."
All right."
Zhang Chi didn't know the old man, but the other party called out his last name, proving that he was coming for him.
Without waiting for Zhang Chi to ask, the white-haired old man took the initiative to introduce: "I, Bao Yixing, come from Guangming City."
Zhang Chi didn't remember that he had met him before, so he responded politely: "I have admired him for a long time." It was a bit hypocritical, as he had never heard of this name.
Bao Yixing continued to smile and said: "Actually, we met at Blackstone Castle. Mr. Zhang, a noble man, forgets things so much that I forgot about him."
Zhang Chi's heart moved. Isn't Blackstone Castle Gu Chenyu's private place? There is still an old feud between Gu Chenyu and himself. Could this old man Bao be sent by Gu Chenyu to seek revenge on him? I just heard Ji Chang talk about it this morning.
Gu Chenyu came, and he didn’t expect to send someone to find him so quickly. This girl is quite persistent and has not let go of her grudges even after ten years. But back then, she turned Blackstone Castle upside down and killed many of her
As a right-hand man, Gu Chenyu may not be able to let go of him easily due to his vengeful character.
Zhang Chi's composure skills were top-notch, and he still smiled and said: "How does Mr. Bao know I'm here?"
Bao Yixing said: "Listen to Zong Jiupeng."
Zhang Chi secretly cursed, this Zong Jiupeng is really not a good person. He will fall out whenever he wants. If the business fails, he will lose all his benevolence and righteousness. In the blink of an eye, he will betray himself to the enemy. Zong Jiupeng should have known that Gu Chenyu came to Bei.
According to Bingcheng news, in the past, Gu Chenyu offered a bounty to hunt down Zhang Chi, and Zong Jiupeng was one of the bounty hunters, so he knew the old grudge between Zhang Chi and Gu Chenyu.
It is estimated that Zong Jiupeng himself did not expect that Bao Yixing would betray him so simply and neatly.
Zhang Chi said: "Mr. Bao, what do you want from me?"
Bao Yixing smiled and said: "I am not looking for you, it is the lord's wife who is looking for you. There is no need for the young master to worry too much. What happened ten years ago has long since passed. The lord's wife has no intention of pursuing it. She just wants to invite the young master to reminisce about the past."
Zhang Chi nodded. It seemed that Gu Chenyu was not seeking revenge on him this time, otherwise he would not have betrayed Zong Jiupeng without hesitation. The betrayal was to show his sincerity.
Zhang Chi said: "Where is Mrs. Gu?"
Bao Yixing said: "Not far away, Tingfeng Tower."
Gu Chenyu was sitting on Tingfeng Tower drinking black tea. She only discovered this authentic black tea after coming to Beibing City. It is rare and precious. Being able to taste the taste of her hometown in Netherworld Ruins is already extremely precious.
The aroma of tea reminded Gu Chenyu of many past times, and time can make a person change.
When Zhang Chi walked into Tingfeng Tower, Gu Chenyu stood up to greet him. She stood up and expressed her attitude. At least now, she did not regard Zhang Chi as her enemy. This man had killed many of her capable officers and kidnapped Qin Luzhu.
The boy who was passive in Guangming City came back this time looking more mature, with a calm and calm expression.
Gu Chenyu looked at Zhang Chi. Although she had met Zhang Chi ten years ago, she was from a high position that time. If she wanted to see a person carefully, she had to look straight at him. Because of the height difference, Gu Chenyu even looked up.
Zhang Chi took the initiative to salute and said, "Hello, madam."
Gu Chenyu smiled and said: "Sit!"
Zhang Chi noticed that there was a crystal tea set on the table, which was good for making black tea. Gu Chenyu poured Zhang Chi a cup of tea with his own hands.
Zhang Chi picked up the teacup and smelled the tea, checking to see if there was any poison in it.
Gu Chenyu saw through his thoughts and said calmly: "I didn't invite you here today for revenge. We are from the same roots, so why be too hasty."
Zhang Chi said: "Then I'm interested in knowing what Madam wants from me?"
Gu Chenyu said: "You came back this time for Green Bamboo, right?"
He smiled and said nothing.
Gu Chenyu said: "You are the first person who can freely enter and exit Netherworld Ruins."
Zhang Chi said: "There are people outside the world." Gu Chenyu's words are not accurate. If nothing else, Qin Junqing has such ability.
Gu Chenyu said: "Yes, there are people outside the world. At first, I thought it was a last resort for our family to live here. But now I finally understand that we have been abandoned by others."
Zhang Chi secretly thought that the person in her mouth who abandoned their family must be Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin must have had some last resort difficulties. As his understanding of Netherworld Ruins deepened, Zhang Chi began to realize that when Mr. Qin asked Qin Junshi and his family to come here, there was something wrong.
The idea of letting them avoid disaster also gave Qin Junshi a responsibility. However, even the foresighted Mr. Qin could not fully control the development of the situation, let alone this is the Netherworld Ruins.
Zhang Chi said: "Mr. Gu came here to unite the Feng family to fight against the Netherworld army?"
Gu Chenyu said: "Feng Mantang has been trying to contact all parties to put aside their old grudges and reunite to fight against the Netherworld army. However, these five major clans each have their own plans. Internal disputes have never stopped for hundreds of years, and they want to unite together.
, it’s not that easy.”
Zhang Chi said: "We should always be open to the outside world. Others don't understand this, but you should understand it."
Gu Chenyu said: "Actually, the threat from the Black Yuezhi is no smaller than that of Netherworld."
Zhang Chi took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that even the Black Yuezhi sent people to Beibing City."
Gu Chenyu nodded and said, "That's right, we're here at Dubeifeng this time."
Hearing that Du Beifeng was here, Zhang Chi felt more and more unusual that this meeting was unusual. The Netherworld army had always threatened the border. Why did everyone fight on their own in the past, but now Feng Mantang was able to convince everyone to come?
Gu Chenyu said: "Actually, the word alliance alone cannot impress everyone, but Feng Mantang released a message." She paused, and then said: "He found a way to restrain Netherworld."
Zhang Chi looked at Gu Chenyu and said, "Is this serious?"
Gu Chenyu said: "Have you ever heard of Ancestor Netherworld?"
