Chapter 341 The last birthday
The Zhang family in Yuanzhou is located on a small hill with beautiful mountains outside Yuanzhou Prefecture. The entire top of the mountain is the Zhang family's manor.
It was almost noon, and the birthday party was about to begin. All the people who were about to go up the mountain were up the mountain, and there were almost not many people at the foot of the mountain.
Chu Xiu and hundreds of elite troops from the Guanxi branch were waiting for something in the forest not far from the hill. After a while, Tang Ya's figure appeared in the forest, holding a brocade box with a head in his hand.
"Sir, you've got the gift."
Tang Ya smiled and handed the brocade box to Chu Xiu, as if he had just done something insignificant.
A cold light appeared in Chu Xiu's eyes. He looked at the hill, his tone was not at all turbulent, and he said, "Since we are all ready, let's go and celebrate Zhang Wanshan's birthday. After all, this is his last birthday."
The Zhang family at the foot of the mountain did not feel the Zhang family's manor was decorated with lights and colorful colors on the top of the mountain, and there was a lively scene everywhere.
Because there were too many people coming, the Zhang family’s lobby and house could not be installed, so the birthday party was held in the courtyard.
Zhang Wanshan sat at the northernmost point, and the people from the martial arts forces around came forward one by one to celebrate Zhang Wanshan's birthday and presented gifts.
These people seemed to be comparing, and the gifts they gave were more valuable than the other. The Zhang family members who welcomed the guests read out the gifts one by one. The more expensive the people they gave, the more they seemed to be shining in their faces. This scene also made everyone below talk.
Someone sighed, "Tsk tsk, judging from the power of the Zhang family, the Wei family has now been destroyed, and the Zhang family has really become the largest clan in Guanxi. Some people said that the Zhang family admitted defeat and gave in front of the new chief officer, and it was no longer possible. Now, it's just nonsense."
A person next to him said, "It seems that the Zhang family is much smarter than the Wei family. Chu Xiu's new official takes office for three reasons. It is right for the Zhang family not to cause trouble at this time. Be low-key for the time being. The Zhang family's strength is here. You can tell from the current power that the Wei family has been destroyed, but the Zhang family's strength has not been lost at all."
Almost everyone below was talking about the current power of the Zhang family, and they were amazed.
This scene made Zhang Wanshan and Zhang Kunze nodded with satisfaction. The purpose of their Zhang family to restore their reputation was achieved this time.
At this time, Zhang Wanshan looked around and asked, "Where is Donglai? Why is this child missing again?"
Zhang Kunze shook his head and said, "Old ancestor, Donglai is a bit unreasonable because you are used to it. He is also running around at this time.
But the time for the banquet is almost here, so many of us can't wait for him, right?"
Zhang Wanshan nodded and said, "Okay, don't wait for him for now, just start a banquet."
Although Zhang Wanshan said this, for some reason, he suddenly felt a terrified feeling, as if something bad was about to happen.
Zhang Kunze stood up and bowed to everyone present and said, "Thank you for attending the 188th birthday of my ancestor. My Zhang family is very grateful.
Recently, my Zhang family has encountered some things, which has led to some sluts secretly slandering my Zhang family. However, this birthday party also allowed my Zhang family to see the support of all the martial arts fellow practitioners, and my Zhang family is very grateful.
All visitors are guests, and it doesn’t matter if the fellow travelers outside don’t have seats. I will ask the servants to prepare the tables and everyone will attend the birthday party together.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the casual cultivators who were watching the fun outside immediately began to praise the Zhang family's righteousness and grandeur outside.
After all, for most martial arts sects, these casual cultivators are basically ignored characters. Now the Zhang family can still remember them, and this is done with great pleasure.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Wanshan suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and smiled with satisfaction while stroking his beard.
He felt at ease that the Zhang family could still have such power.
But at this moment, a voice came from outside.
"You, the ancestor of the Zhang family, didn't invite me to celebrate your birthday, but you looked down on me, Chu Xiu?"
As the sound came, the crowd was separated by a road. Chu Xiu led nearly a hundred of his subordinates straight into the Zhang family. The warriors from other places in Guanxi avoided them. There was also a hint of fear and horror in their eyes when they looked at Chu Xiu.
The visitor is not good!
In an instant, these four words popped up in everyone present.
The people from the Zhang family looked even more solemn. They didn't expect Chu Xiu would choose to cause trouble for them at this time.
The Zhang family had already planned to plan Chu Xiu once before, but the two sides had a very thorough bond. How could the Zhang family invite Chu Xiu to attend the birthday party in this case? Unexpectedly, Chu Xiu came directly uninvited.
Moreover, Chu Xiu brought so many people to come here. Is this a look here to celebrate his birthday? It’s almost the same to find fault.
Zhang Kunze suppressed his anger. He was about to say something when Zhang Wanshan held down his hand.
Looking at Chu Xiu, Zhang Wanshan smiled and said, "Mr. Chu is busy with everything he wants. I am afraid of delaying Master Chu's official duties, so I didn't notify Master Chu. Please forgive me.
But since sir, please take a seat. Today, Lord Chu is here to give me face to my Zhang family, so my Zhang family naturally welcomes you warmly."
The Zhang family ancestor's attitude was extremely low, which immediately stunned everyone present. After all, Zhang Wanshan was also a famous existence in the Guanxi martial arts world. When did he ever bow down so much?
Chu Xiu looked at Zhang Wanshan with a smile. He had never dealt with Zhang Wanshan, the ancestor of the Zhang family, but now he saw that this old guy was even more tolerant than the ancestor of the Wei family.
Putting his posture so low in front of him, if he takes action again, it would become his domineering and unreasonable.
It’s a pity that Zhang Wanshan still doesn’t understand Chu Xiu’s personality. Once Chu Xiu makes some decision, it’s not that easy to give up.
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "If you don't invite me, then I can only come without invitation. But I came in a hurry. I didn't prepare any expensive gifts for you. I hope you will forgive me."
Zhang Wanshan waved his hand quickly and said, "You are polite, you don't have to do this."
Chu Xiu shook his head with a serious expression and said, "This is not possible. Since it is a birthday party, there must be a gift. Everyone else has given it. If I don't give it, wouldn't I look stingy?"
As he said that, Chu Xiu threw the brocade box in his hand to Zhang Wanshan.
Zhang Wanshan subconsciously caught the brocade box, and the bloody smell that faintly revealed from it immediately made Zhang Wanshan feel something was wrong.
When he opened the brocade box, a head of death appeared in front of Zhang Wanshan, which immediately made him roar in pain: "Let's come to the east!"
For warriors of Zhang Wanshan's age, there are hundreds of sons, grandsons and even great-grandsons, and they have actually become a little weak in the so-called family bloodline.
Among his descendants, the only one who could truly love Zhang Wanshan was Zhang Donglai. He was also considered by Zhang Wanshan as the hope of their Zhang family's future and taught him carefully since childhood.
As a result, Zhang Donglai's head now appeared in front of Zhang Wanshan. This kind of grief was even worse than his dead son.
Chu Xiu said with a playful smile on his lips: "It is said that Mr. Zhang, you love your great-grandson the most, but your birthday is approaching, but your favorite great-grandson is not here. Now I specially send him to you. How about it, are you surprised?"
"Chu Xiu! My Zhang family is irreconcilable with you!"
Zhang Wanshan shouted angrily, and a simple long sword in his hand was unsheathed, slashing towards Chu Xiu with an extremely heavy sword force!
Zhang Wanshan did not intend to fight with Chu Xiu before. For a temporary fight against him, it was not worth fighting with Chu Xiu, the new Guanxi chief criminal, to the death.
But now Chu Xiu actually brought the head of his great-grandson whom he loved the most, which also showed Chu Xiu's attitude and wanted to stay with their Zhang family.
Since that's the case, why can Zhang Wanshan endure? Why don't hesitate? Why don't hesitate? Why don't hesitate and fight with him Chu Xiu to the death!
The other warriors present immediately stepped back when they saw this scene, with fear flashing in their eyes.
Chu Xiu is really not ordinary. He just destroyed the Wei family and was about to kill the Zhang family. What is he doing? He is going to slaughter all the martial arts forces in the entire Guanxi area?
The Abi Demon Sword was slashed out in his hand, and the surging demonic energy burst out with a bright red blood evil aura. It collided with Zhang Wanshan's sword, and a powerful wave suddenly burst out.
In terms of power alone, Zhang Wanshan is even stronger than the ancestor of the Wei family.
It is also ironic that the ancestor of the Wei family has been practicing in seclusion for more than ten years and wants to preserve qi and blood and prolong his life, but in the end, he is not as powerful as Zhang Wanshan.
However, with Chu Xiu's current combat power, even if Zhang Wanshan's strength is stronger than the ancestor of the Wei family, it is only a matter of time to kill him.
Chu Xiu stood with a knife and said in a cold voice: "The Zhang family conspired to rebel, and the blame should be punished. The whole family will be punished without leaving any chickens and dogs!"
After the words came, Tang Ya, Yan Bugui and others immediately took action and rushed forward with their subordinates.
The Zhang family used to be a major Guanxi tribe who could compete with the Wei family, with a large number of people in the tribe, with a total of thousands of people.
But these thousands of people cannot compare with the elites under Chu Xiu.
Whether it is a warrior from Guanzhong Punishment Hall or a killer from Qinglong Association such as Tang Ya and Yan Bugui, his qualities are much better than those of the Zhang family. Although the number of people is only one-tenth of the other party, when they fight, they are like crushing. As soon as they come into contact with the Zhang family, dozens of people were easily killed.
The ancestor of the Zhang family looked at Chu Xiu with red eyes and said in a cold voice: "Chu Xiu! My Zhang family has already admitted defeat and gave in. Why do you still have to kill them all?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "Zhang Wanshan, are you the first day you are in the world? You are so naive!
If it is useful to admit defeat and apologize, what should you do with swords and fists?
If I let you go today, in the future, other forces in Guanxi will think that I, Chu Xiu, are easy to bully, and think that the price of taking action against me, Chu Xiu, is not strong, so I have the courage to provoke my majesty.
Your Zhang family is a living example, responsible for letting others know the price of being brave enough to provoke me Chu Xiu!”
