Chapter 8 Dragon Spear Red Sword [Part 1] ()

The Zhang family, whose ancestors were famous generals of the Ming Dynasty, fought nearly 100 battles across the country, were famous all over the world, and also became famous for the gunshots and swordsmanship of the Zhang family. After the founding of the country, the Ming emperor sent craftsmen to commend the achievements of the Zhang family's ancestors, specially created two divine weapons, one dragon gall spear and one red heart sword for the Zhang family's ancestors.

As time goes by, the Zhang clan gradually declines, but the inheritance of the aristocratic family remains unbroken, and the dragon gall spear and the Chixin Sword are also well preserved, and these two divine weapons have become the exclusive weapons of the Zhang clan leader.

According to the ancestral teachings of the Zhang clan, the clan leader of all generations was the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the dragon gall spear, and the red heart sword of the dragon spear was passed down in the hands of each generation of the eldest son of the eldest son of the dragon gall spear, and the red sword of the dragon spear became the symbol of the clan leader.

However, today, the inheritance of the Zhang clan has deviated...

"Thank you, aunt, for rewarding the sword." Zhang Cheng knelt on the ground, with a faint look of excitement on his face. He respectfully took the sword box with both hands, and at the same time thanked Zhang Liang's eldest wife Zhang Song.

Zhang Cheng performed the kneeling ceremony, which seemed very serious, but Zhang Chong and Zhang Dao, who were standing by and watching the ceremony, looked at Zhang Cheng with a faint anger.

Zhang Yuan did not know the importance of the Chixin Sword to the Zhang clan, but he saw that his second and third brothers looked very bad, especially when he looked at Zhang Cheng's eyes, the glaring gaze could not be completely concealed, which made him a little puzzled. However, in front of everyone, he couldn't ask, so he remained silent.

As noon approached, a family banquet was held in the backyard of Zhang Mansion. On the surface, the guests were having fun, but Zhang Yuan noticed that his father Zhang Liang and his elder brother Zhang Ren did not attend the family banquet. This situation was very strange. You should know that Zhang Liang and Zhang Ren were both at home, but told the guests that "the master and the eldest master were out." This was obviously avoiding and did not want to attend the family banquet.

Waiting for the luncheon to end, the guest left. Zhang Yuan originally wanted to go back to his yard, but just wanted to leave, he was stopped by a servant, saying that his father Zhang Liang ordered Zhang Chong, Zhang Dao and Zhang Yuan to go to the study.

When the three arrived at the study, Zhang Liang and Zhang Ren had been waiting for a long time...

"Father, brother." Zhang Chong, Zhang Dao and Zhang Yuan asked in unison.

"Well, sit down." Zhang Liang said in a deep voice.

The three of them looked for chairs to sit down. As soon as they sat down, Zhang Chong couldn't help but say, "Father, my mother gave the Chixin Sword to her second cousin Zhang Cheng. Is this what you mean?"

"I was about to say this, the Chixin Sword was given to Cheng'er. From now on, Cheng'er will be the leader of the Zhang clan's family. The clan family inherited the dragon gall spear and the Chixin Sword." Zhang Liang's expression was very calm, and there was no joy or anger, but anyone familiar with Zhang Liang knew that Zhang Liang's expression was not showing his happiness or anger, which means that he was not in a good mood.

"Father, this is a big mistake! If the Zhang family is divided into religion and division, then in this situation, the Zong family is weak and the division is stronger than the family. How can our Zong family handle itself? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? What's more, once the second uncle revolts, he will be the leader of one side, with the title of the clan leader on his head. This will greatly kill our Zong family. If it is a bad thing, our Zong family will have to hand over the title of the clan, or the name of the religion and division are exchanged! Inappropriate! Inappropriate!" Zhang Dao said worriedly.

At this time, Zhang Ren said, "Third brother, your worries cannot be said to be incorrect, but those worries must be waited for the success of the second uncle's uprising. Although people have no long-term concerns, they must have immediate worries, but even immediate worries cannot be solved, so how can we talk about long-term concerns? Now our Zhang family is already tied to the second uncle, and they will all be prosperous. If we cannot give up some things to fulfill the second uncle at this time, then the Zhang family will face the disaster of extermination. The Chixin Sword is just a dead thing, so give it to it."

Zhang Ren was the next generation of Zhang clan leader. When he said this at this time, it was actually a culprit, setting up a clan family and a division, and handing over the ancestral sword to the division. The religion seemed weak and had no prestige. This not only made people laugh at, but also vaguely disrespect the ancestors and the ancestors. It was an unfilial act and seemed incompetent. Zhang Ren could not bear the shame of his father, so he gritted his teeth and resisted his father.

"But, even if you want to hand over the Chixin Sword, it should be handed over to your cousin Zhang Xu. How could it be handed over to your second cousin?" Zhang Dao asked.

"The mother's family of your second cousin's mother is the Su family, a wealthy family in Tizhou. Moreover, the Su family will participate in the uprising. In order to follow the Su family's heart, the Zhang family's name was temporarily given to Zhang Cheng." Zhang Liang explained.

"So, if the second uncle really becomes the king one day, who is the prince? Is it my cousin Zhang Xu? Or is it my second cousin Zhang Cheng?" Zhang Dao asked in surprise.

"You can discuss such trivial matters after you get done. It's too early to talk about these things now." Zhang Liang replied, and then continued, "Okay, let's talk about Chixinjian's affairs here, Daoer, you go to your second uncle's mansion tomorrow, and your second uncle will arrange some things to learn civil affairs skills."

"Uncle Second wants to arrange an official position for me?" Zhang Dao said in surprise.

"It is impossible to give you a too high position for the time being. After waiting for the uprising, you must prepare to take over the civil affairs of a city. This is your second uncle's promise, and it was also exchanged for it with the Sword of Red Heart. You must grasp it well." Zhang Liang instructed.

"A city?" Zhang Dao first showed a look of surprise, then was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, father, I will definitely not let you down!"

Zhang Yuan watched his father talk with his three brothers, but he couldn't get in and didn't want to speak. He had a sense of rejection in politics and military affairs. He was a petty citizen in his previous life, and at the same time he was used to being a petty citizen. Even if he had the strength, he only wanted to live a stable life and enjoy a good life. He never thought of becoming a king. Even if he thought of it occasionally, it was just a whim and could not be real. Therefore, he was not interested in the topics his father and his three brothers were told at all.

"Politics, darkness, corruption, interests, and peace of the world and the people... These are all topics, it's really boring. It's okay to talk about them occasionally, but it's really depressing to talk about them every time, it's really depressing. God! Can you give me a computer? I want to go online to read novels, animations, and pass this boring time." Zhang Yuan couldn't stand the dull topic, so he sat in a chair, lowered his head, his mind was full of imagination, the train roared, and the garbled codes were intertwined.

After a while, Zhang Ren, Zhang Chong, Zhang Dao and Zhang Yuan left the study. According to convention, every time the four brothers discussed with their father, the four brothers would discuss it privately, and they would bring Zhang Yuan with them every time. Zhang Yuan couldn't refuse even if he wanted to...

"Third brother, the second uncle's rebellion is not far away. You should hurry up and learn the art of civil affairs. Once the second uncle's rebellion is in trouble, it is not difficult to occupy a city. In this way, you will not have much time to prepare." Zhang Ren said.

"Brother, don't worry, just manage a city, it won't hurt me." Zhang Dao said confidently.

Zhang Ren nodded. He still believed in his third brother's talents very much. It was not a paper talent, but a real talent, because the account of the Zhang family in recent years has been managed by Zhang Dao, and the money in recent years has been much higher than the income in previous years. From the small to the big, it can be seen that Zhang Dao is not just a paper talent.

Zhang Ren talked with Zhang Dao for a moment, then turned his eyes to Zhang Chong and said, "Second brother, when the second uncle is in trouble, he will definitely form a new army. At that time, I will command the first battalion soldiers. Second brother, why don't you go and be the deputy general for me?"

"I want to go, but can you convince your father to let me go?" Zhang Chong said with a sigh.

Zhang Chong is too lively and too capable of causing trouble. Zhang Liang is very worried about him, especially since he fought a few days ago, which caused quite a lot of trouble. Therefore, during this period, Zhang Chong was banned from going out, and Zhang Ren invited him to serve as deputy general. Zhang Chong was reluctant to ask for it, but he was afraid that Zhang Liang would not allow him to go. With Zhang Chong's temperament, it would be a trivial matter for him to join the army without his life, and it would be a big matter for delaying military affairs.

"I will mention this to my father, but I think my father will not stop him." Zhang Ren said.

"Okay, as long as you can convince your father, I will be your deputy general." Zhang Chong said happily.

Zhang Yuan listened silently, and felt bored. He looked around from time to time, or looked up at the sky. When he was distracted, Zhang Ren turned his gaze to Zhang Yuan and said, "Fourth brother."

"Huh?" Zhang Yuan immediately came back to his senses, then silently asked, "Brother, what did you say to me?"

"Hehe, fourth brother, I heard you have stopped drinking the Shiquan Da Tu Soup?" Zhang Ren said with a smile.

"Uh, this, huh, I haven't drunk these days." Zhang Yuan said.

Zhang Ren patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. The feeling of qi cannot be felt in a day or two. The key is to persevere. When I was a child, I drank the medicine for half a year, so I felt qi. You can't be worse than me."

Zhang Yuan understood Zhang Ren's semantics, which was comforting him. Perhaps he was mistaken for thinking that he hadn't felt angry for a long time, and then he was discouraged and refused to drink soup. As the eldest brother, Zhang Ren wanted to cheer up his younger brother, so he said this.

However, understanding is understanding, but when you think of the taste of Shiquan Dapu Soup, that kind of scattered feeling, Zhang Yuan immediately felt a trembling heart. Drinking Shiquan Dapu Soup is definitely a torture to the taste nerves, and it is simply torture! The most cruel torture!

"This, haha, I actually felt a little angry, so I stopped the decoction..." Zhang Yuan said weakly.

"Yeah? I feel angry!" Zhang Ren, Zhang Chong and Zhang Dao said in unison.

"Yes, I have a little bit of feeling. Every time I finish punching, I feel something different in my body. I think it's a sensation of qi, so I stop the decoction." Zhang Yuan said half-true and half-false.

"Okay! That's great! Let's go and see my father." After Zhang Ren finished speaking, he pulled Zhang Yuan to the study without waiting for Zhang Yuan to reply, and Zhang Chong and Zhang Dao followed closely behind.
