Chapter 4: The Wuhu Mountains [Part 1]

"Troubleshooting Zhu Jiukang?" Zhang Chong exclaimed, looked at Zhang Jiao in surprise, frowned and said, "Second Uncle, this idea is unsatisfactory! Marshal Zhu Jiukang has great prestige in the hearts of the people. If you kill Zhu Jiukang, this... will probably have a counterproductive effect!"

"How can I not know about this?" Zhang Jiao sighed and continued, "Zhu Jiukang was already in his twilight years after being severely injured by Master Liujue. But as long as he did not fall, the Ming Dynasty court would not fall. I have received news that the court is searching for treasures of heaven and earth, which must be for the purpose of healing Zhu Jiukang. If the court really finds some treasures of heaven and earth and heals Zhu Jiukang's injuries, then the situation of An Minjun will be in a bad state."

"But if you kill Zhu Jiukang, the situation of Anmin Army may be even worse. Not to mention the court, let alone the generals of the Ming Dynasty, and there are not a hundred or eighty people who have been promoted by Marshal Zhu Jiukang. If Marshal Zhu Jiukang died at your hands, it would undoubtedly offend all these people. At that time, even if the Ming Dynasty collapsed, Anmin Army would not get any benefits. Instead, they would be charged with various crimes and attacked by various troops. This would be worth the loss." Zhang Chong persuaded.

"The bow is on the string, and I have to be fired! Last night's assassination was just the beginning, and the court would not stop there. If I don't fight back, An Minjun will fall apart in a blink of an eye! And..." Zhang Jiao paused for a moment and said coldly: "I have a feeling that if Zhu Jiukang arrived when the medicine stone was ineffective, he would definitely come to Anmin City in person to win and lose with me!"

At this time, the servant walked in from outside the door with tea. Zhang Yuan, Zhang Chong and Zhang Jiao stopped at the same time, and the servant respectfully brought tea to the three of them, and then turned around and left.

The three of them each took a sip of tea, and Zhang Jiao said again: "Now, instead of waiting for Zhu Jiukang to come with the will of death, I might as well break into the Kangzhou Prince's Mansion and make a break with Zhu Jiukang!"

Zhang Chong frowned, lowered his head and drank tea, and did not speak anymore. He obviously agreed with Zhang Jiao's idea. Zhang Yuan did not understand military and politics very much, and could not see the pros and cons of it, so he couldn't get into this topic, but he was more concerned about another situation...

"Uncle Second, are you sure to kill Zhu Jiukang?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Haha..." Zhang Jiao chuckled, put the teacup in his hand on the table, and said, "Yuan'er is worried too much. Zhu Jiukang can now exert up to 80% of his strength, but I can exert 120% of his strength!"

Zhang Jiao said as he stretched out his palms, clenched his fists, and made a "crack" sound, and then continued: "Since I obtained the blood of the dragon, my true energy, strength, defense, flexibility, and even my eyesight and reaction speed have been greatly improved. Moreover, these have not reached the limit, and they are increasing almost every day! With my force! Not to mention that Zhu Jiukang was seriously injured, even if he was unharmed, I have the confidence to fight with it!"

"...Since that's the case, then let's follow what you said." Zhang Yuan said.

In fact, Zhang Jiao was able to come in person and tell Zhang Yuan about his next move. This was a great respect for Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan could not refuse anyway. Borrowing a crane mount is just an excuse. Even if there is no crane mount, it is not too difficult for Zhang Jiao to break into the Kangzhou Palace. The reason why Zhang Jiao came to borrow a crane mount was just to take the opportunity to tell Zhang Yuan about his plan to express his respect for Zhang Yuan, the future head of the family.

… …………………

In a blink of an eye, a few days passed, and the city of Tizhou was in full swing due to the assassin incident. Even people in the world were talking about the assassin incident in Tizhou. The morale of the army and the people who had been promoted to a generation of masters fell sharply for a while, which made many talented people who were preparing to serve Zhang Jiao hesitate. In addition, Tizhou was hit hard by the business of various states and counties in the north.

After Zhang Jiao borrowed the crane mount from Zhang Yuan, he disappeared. Only a few people knew that Zhang Jiao went to Kangzhou, and the purpose was to kill Zhu Jiukang!

Because of Zhang Jiao's decision, the Anmin Army in Tizhou appeared to be calm, but secretly gathered troops. After Zhang Jiao took action, Zhu Jiukang would immediately attack Kangzhou in the wind and snow! He did not seek to conquer the city, but just wanted a momentum! When the Ming Dynasty collapsed, push it!

There was a lot of controversy outside, and An Minjun was also busy. However, Zhang Yuan was indifferent to these things because he was now busy preparing to enter the copy of the "Tigerless Mountains".

Zhang Yuan had already prepared all the equipment used to deal with monkeys. Now he only had a flying mount. Zhang Yuan lent the crane mount to Zhang Jiao. He lacked the flying mount for a while and could not implement the beheading plan, so he could only go to Zhang Chong to find a crane again. However, this time he did not find an adult crane, but instead found a young crane, which was forced to buy from a wealthy family.

After Zhang Yuan got the young crane, he was a little disappointed. After all, the young crane was too weak and could not bear him at all. However, with the idea of ​​giving it a try, he ate the young crane's demon pill, but a situation that shocked him occurred!

Adult Crane takes the Demon Pill. After taking 6 Demon Pills, the brain's thinking speed will stop increasing. After taking 11 Demon Pills, the body shape will stop growing.

Originally, Zhang Yuan thought that this should be the case for the young crane, but the situation was much better than Zhang Yuan expected!

At this moment, in the underground secret room of Zhang Mansion, Zhang Yuan had already given 16 demon pills to the young crane. When the young crane took 12 demon pills, its body shape stopped growing, but the brain thinking speed showed no sign of the growth!

Zhang Yuan held the 17th demon pill in his hand and looked at the crane more than two meters tall in front of him. He was no longer the image of "younger". His tall body and plump wings could be said to be an adult crane, or an adult giant crane!

Zhang Yuan shook the demon pill in his hand and hesitated for a moment. Now the crane has a brain-level thinking speed that is almost as fast as a human! If he takes it again, he might really become a "demon"!

Cry! Cry!

The crane called out a few times, as if he was trying to touch Zhang Yuan with his beak, but the crane's eyes stared at the demon pill in Zhang Yuan's hand. The meaning was obvious, it still wanted to eat it!

Zhang Yuan's thoughts were so loud that hesitated for a long time. Finally, he took a deep breath and made up his mind. He wanted to see what level this crane could reach!

After Zhang Yuan made up his mind, he threw the 17th demon pill to the crane. The crane's bird beak moved quickly, holding the demon pill in his mouth, tilted his neck and swallowed the demon pill...

A blue light flashes!

Trepidation!

The crane cried happily, but Zhang Yuan tapped his consciousness into the crane's brain, checked the crane's feedback consciousness, and was shocked to find that the crane's thinking speed increased again!

"A monster!" Zhang Yuan muttered, thinking of another question, and thought of it, "Is this a problem with this crane, or is it because it is always a young bird? If all young animals will have this condition, then it means... the potential of young pets is much higher than that of adult pets!"

"It seems that there is a baby-washing prop in the game. It can explode high-level pets and wash them into level 0. Pets that are trained from level 0 babies are more powerful than advanced pets caught in the wild..."

Zhang Yuan muttered, looked at the giant crane in front of him again, hesitated for a moment, then walked to the iron cabinet in the corner, opened the iron cabinet, found a small wooden box, and opened the small wooden box, and saw five demon pills inside.

"The last five left..." After Zhang Yuan said that, he gritted his teeth and took out all five, then walked back to the giant crane, and threw a demon pill to the crane again...

The crane held the 18th demon pill in his mouth and swallowed it with his neck...

A blue light flashes!

Cry! Cry!

The crane cried happily, and Zhang Yuan checked the crane's brain and thinking speed again, and the crane's thinking increased again! He was sure now that the crane's brain and thinking speed were comparable to his own!

"..." Zhang Yuan looked at the giant crane shouting happily in front of him, and felt a throbbing for no reason. It was not that the crane had any abnormal movement, but that he... was afraid!

Bang!

Zhang Yuan suddenly slapped the crane, and a golden light flashed, and the crane turned into a beast-taught bell!

Zhang Yuan handed the animal-taught bell in his hand, held it hard, and said to himself: "You are so smart! Such a high level of wisdom is not something a pet should have!"

Zhang Yuan said as he walked to the iron cabinet, and used the key to open the iron drawer on the bottom layer of the iron cabinet. Inside this drawer was another animal-taught bell with a label on it, Macaw...

Zhang Yuan glanced at the macaw's animal taming bell, then took out a ballpoint pen and a label from the drawer, wrote "Young Crane, Dangerous Goods." on the label, then pasted the label on the animal taming bell, and finally put the young crane taming bell into the iron drawer and sealed it.

… …………………

Two days later, Zhang Chong found another crane for Zhang Yuan. The crane was offered a reward through Zhenbaoxuan and spent 1,000 taels of silver. It was the act of making a fortune, but it was this act of making a fortune that impressed a crane raising man who was short of money. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find a crane.

After Zhang Yuan obtained the crane again, he ate the demon pills for the crane. This adult crane, like his first crane mount, took 6 demon pills, and his brain thinking speed stopped growing. After taking 11 demon pills, his body size stopped growing.

"Sure enough, the problem lies with the young cranes, maybe all young animals are like this... After going to Xianren Island, you have to take the time to study the pet's problems and improve the "Spiritual Pet Picture Book"." Zhang Yuan muttered.
