Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 27 If You Don't Become an Ant, You Will Become a Dragon!

Facing the sharp eyes that pointed directly at people's hearts, Zhang Tie looked at the elders of Huaiyuan Hall without any timidity, "I don't think there is anything special about me, I just did what I should do?"

"What should you do?" A stern smile appeared on the face of the elder of Huaiyuantang, "Do you know that what Huaiyuantang practices here is military law. It may make you lose your head. Huaiyuan Hall has been able to stand from scratch, regardless of whether it is inside or outside the family, it depends on the family regulations and orders and prohibitions left by Duke Huaiyuan. Come on, even the heir of Earl Changfeng who violated the family rules can be abolished by the family and imprisoned for life, do you think that because you can make a full-effect potion, the family rules are useless to you, and Huaiyuantang dare not kill you?"

"I'm just a small person. I never thought I was great. If I violated the rules and wanted my life, Huaiyuantang would dare to kill me!" Zhang Tie raised his head, "It's just that people are alive, and some Something must be done?"

"Oh, are you still reasonable?" The elder of Huaiyuantang laughed angrily, "Is your reason more important than the family rules? Tell me what your reason is, and those few people deserve what you do for them ?”

"One of those people once saved my life. I have to repay this kindness. This is one of them!"

"What about the second one?"

Zhang Tie was silent for a while, and his voice lowered all of a sudden, but his tone was even more firm as iron, "The information that more than one million ordinary people in Tianhan City exchanged for their lives does not belong to a certain person, nor does it belong to Jin. None of the six major families of Yun Kingdom and those powerful princes and nobles has the qualifications and the right to take the information that is stained with the blood of more than one million innocent people in Tianhan City as their own, and block the news of the jihad Get up and make more ordinary people unprepared to become cannon fodder!"

"Is this what you think?" Elder Huaiyuantang narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yes!" Zhang Tie said louder and louder, and his whole chest stood up. "These days, many forces and many people have obtained the news they want from Tianhan City. Why are there only those big figures from the Central League on the mainland? The big families are entitled to know that jihad and evil disasters will come in full force next year or even six months later, so why can’t other people know this information that is closely related to the fate of each of them?”

The elders of Huaiyuan Hall carefully examined every inch of Zhang Tie's expression, their sharp eyes seemed to penetrate Zhang Tie's eyes and shoot directly into his heart, "Do you want to ask why? Because every holy war Those who can persevere until the end, can inflict the most damage on the demons and preserve the most vitality of the human race are the accumulated strength and organizational ability of these people and families, so that they are qualified to know more information in advance than ordinary people!"

"So ordinary people are doomed to be sacrificed?"

The elder of Huaiyuantang looked very serious, "Have you seen how ants cross the river when the flood comes? Ants can't swim, so when they cross the river, they can only hold together tens of thousands of ants. Roll over, many of the ants on the outermost edge of this process will be washed away by the river, and only the ants in the middle of the ant group can survive. This holy war, for the human race, is a test for the ants to cross the river when the flood comes. , some ants will be washed away by the flood, while some ants can cross the river in front of them. Sacrifice is inevitable. When there is no guarantee that every ant will pass, only those ants with strong grouping ability can survive. It is the future hope of the entire ant colony!"

Zhang Tie knew that what the elders of Huaiyuantang said was right. When the holy war came, the vast majority of ordinary people and ordinary people without powerful forces to rely on and form a group could not organize an effective counterattack against the demons. They would just run away.

run away, run away...

At this time, the perspectives of the big shots are different from their own. The big shots are concerned about the fate of those ants that are clumped together, and how many ants will survive in the end. Yes, many ants that are destined to be washed away by the flood have made a little preparation in advance before the flood comes. They may not be able to roll across the river in groups like other ants, but at least, they can find a leaf for themselves Chance.

Is anyone wrong? No one is wrong, everyone has their own position and their own ideas. Although they are so beautiful that they are almost arrogant, in fact, the "ants" that they can help will be very limited. A Thor mercenary group with tens of thousands of people is facing such a general situation. It’s nothing, it’s nothing, I can only do my best when I encounter it, but I just want to have a clear conscience.

Because, before coming to Huaiyuantang, their family was the part of ants destined to be washed away by this flood in the eyes of those big shots at the moment.

Zhang Tie laughed at himself. It was only at this moment that he realized that even though he is rich now, his status is higher than before, and he can embrace the big tree of Huaiyuantang, he will never be like Lan Yunxi. Or people like other family elites, because he can't think like them at all. The experience of living at the bottom of Heiyan City since he was a child has been branded in his soul. In his bones, he is a small person, a poor boy , a human punching bag in the Iron Thorn Warhouse who can't help but want to do something when he sees someone like him being wronged or destined to be cannon fodder.

Zhang Tie heard a word from Tang De before. Tang De said that according to the findings of human psychologists before the cataclysm, everyone is actually doing one thing in their whole life - to complete the personality formed in childhood.

I don't understand the "good intentions" of the great people, and they only care about making themselves feel better and making the people around them feel better, that is, they are a little submissive, but also full of rebellious spirit, and then expect the world to become "everyone is equal" Is this what my "complete citizen personality..." expects?

"Originally, you didn't have to participate in this raid on Tianhan City. No one could force you to come, but you came here on your own initiative, responded to the family's call, and fought bravely on the battlefield, taking the lead. I appreciate this very much!" Seeing that Zhang Tie was silent, the elders of Huaiyuantang family took a sip of tea and said, "I think you are the first offender. Your crime of allowing people to enter the city without permission this time will be punished as the crime of favoritism in the Huaiyuantang army. This time All the family contribution points rewarded by the action family will be cancelled, and you will be beaten 100 times, you will be convinced!"

"Family has family rules, state owns state laws, and I do things by myself. Since I violated the rules of Huaiyuan Hall, I am willing to be punished!" Zhang Tie said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I've called you here this time. Apart from this, there is another matter. I also want to tell you that there was once a member of the Zhen family who worked in the alchemist union in Jinyun Kingdom. The last time you ordered a potion bottle, Because the number was too large, it attracted the attention of that person, and this led to the following things. The last time you were chased and killed on Qianlong Island was also a member of the Zhen family. A member of the Eye Society family, after knowing that you can manufacture a large amount of full-effect potions, other hidden families and members of the Three Eyes Society most likely have already known the same information, so you are in a very dangerous situation now !"

"People from the Three-Eyed Society want to kill me?" This news really shocked Zhang Tie's heart. Originally, he thought that the matter of destroying the Zhen family would be enough, but he didn't expect that the Zhen family's actions against him would not be good. It's just the beginning. Behind the Zhen family, there is a more mysterious and unpredictable Three-Eyed Society that serves the demons and may be watching him at this moment.

"With the style of the Three-Eyed Society, when the holy war is approaching, anyone who can strengthen the overall strength of the human race and help the human race defeat the demons will find a way to get rid of him. Recently, many alchemists in the Weiyi subcontinent have been assassinated and The annihilation of the Elder Family of the Callow Federal Pill Pharmacist Union last year, based on what we know now, is all done by the Three-Eyed Society. Your value is much greater than that of an ordinary high-level pill pharmacist. Therefore, in After knowing your abilities, the people of the Three-Eyed Society will definitely find a way to get rid of you!"

"Thank you elder for reminding me, I will pay attention!"

"With the exposure of the Zhen family, the Three Eyes will be on the cusp at this moment. Those people may hide for a while and dare not jump out immediately, so you should be safe in a short time, but after a long time It’s hard to say, if you want, the family can send experts to be your bodyguards to ensure your safety!”

"I think the best protection for me is to disappear, so that no one can find it, or simply let the people of the Three Eyes Society think that killing me will not be worth the loss, so I will handle this matter myself!" Zhang Tie After thinking for a while, he rejected the family elder's suggestion.

A minute later, Zhang Tie, whose face was sinking like water, left the room of the family elders...

In all fairness, the family's treatment of him bringing people into Tianhan City was neither serious nor serious. It can only be said that it was appropriate. Zhang Tie didn't feel that luck was unfair, nor did he have any gratitude or resentment. This is the price he should pay. Only through this incident, he suddenly felt the invisible gap between himself and those big men, and the same gap also existed between him and Huaiyuantang.

This gap is not a conflict of interests, but purely caused by different values ​​and worldviews. Zhang Tie was very uncomfortable with the natural indifference shown by the big shots towards the little people and ordinary people in the matter of Tianhan City.

If the Continental Central National Alliance or the Huaiyuantang can finally issue a detailed announcement this time, telling the facts about jihad and disasters frankly, so that more ordinary people can be prepared, and perhaps hundreds of millions of lives can be saved , but Zhang Tie knew that his idea was just a dream.

When leaving the room of the family elders, Zhang Tie's mind flashed the faces of his friends in Heiyan City and Brape. Barry, Owen, Doug, Kista, Baghdad, Wright, Alice, Bev Li, Hannah, the girls from the Rose Society, and... Teacher Dinah.

One—these people, Zhang Tie knows, belong to the "ants" that the family elders just said will be washed away by the flood. In the long holy war, their life and death are irrelevant. Of course. Even if jihad and evil disasters were imminent, no one felt the need to inform them.

This feeling not only made Zhang Tie uncomfortable, but also resentful.

Then, Zhang Tie saw Lan Yunxi in the airship. A few days ago, Zhang Tie heard that Lan Yunxi forcibly mobilized her ancestral blood when he raided Tianhan City, and killed three Zhens who were above tenth level in one fell swoop. The master of the family, and then she herself was seriously injured and needed to rest for a while, and then Lan Yunxi disappeared from the battlefield.

Zhang Tie made many inquiries, but no one knew where Lan Yunxi had gone. Zhang Tie thought that Lan Yunxi had gone back to Huaiyuan Hall to recuperate. Seeing Lan Yunxi at this moment, Zhang Tie was slightly surprised.

Lan Yunxi was followed by a man in his twenties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a face like a crown jade, tall and tall, wearing a set of blue warrior brocade robes, and a long sword on his waist. Yushu looks heroic and extraordinary in front of the wind. Walking with a woman like Lan Yunxi, that man's aura was not completely overwhelmed by Lan Yunxi, but he was still talking and laughing freely.

Zhang Tie walked past the two of them expressionlessly, without even looking at them.

The moment she passed by Zhang Tie, Lan Yunxi glanced at Zhang Tie, bit her lips slightly, and did not speak. As for the man, he directly regarded Zhang Tie as air and passerby.

The three of them passed each other in the airship...

"Ximei, this is the chalcedony nourishing essence ointment from the Yantai family that I just asked the airship to go to Tsinghua Mountain to get. It is specially sent for Ximei to recuperate her body..."

After walking past the two of them for a few steps, Zhang Tie heard the man's voice in his ear, Zhang Tie clenched his fist secretly, feeling a little sour for no reason.

Five minutes later, the scene of Zhang Tie being publicly tortured in the Qianlongtang camp attracted many people to watch.

"Zhang Tie, a student of Qianlongtang, committed the crime of favoritism and brought someone into Tianhan City privately. All the family contribution points he obtained in this raid on Tianhan City are cancelled, and he is sentenced to 100 lashes as a warning. Imitate you!" A picket officer in the Huaiyuantang army saw a large crowd of onlookers around him, loudly announced Zhang Tie's "crime," and then asked the soldiers next to him to prepare for Zhang Tie's execution.

The people around looked at each other after hearing such words. Zhang Tie had been outstanding in Tianhan City for the past few days, and his reputation was getting better and better. Unexpectedly, such a turning point came suddenly, and everyone watched in silence.

In front of Zhang Tie, a wooden stake as high as a person was nailed. On the wooden stake was an iron chain that bound a pair of hands, so as to prevent the tortured person from moving around during the whipping.

The executioner came over and wanted to handcuff Zhang Tie's hands to the stake.

"I'm standing here and don't move, you just smoke!" Zhang Tie took off his clothes by himself, revealing his lean and strong back.

"The whipping punishment in the army is not just for fun. It is a horned dragon whip made of the big tendons of the mutant killer whale mixed with steel wire. The average person will be whipped and fainted after three whips. Let's handcuff it and wait. During the execution, if you can’t stand jumping around or you are handcuffed and whipped after you are passed out, it will be ugly. I only remind you because you are considered a man in Tianhan City these days! "The picket came over and whispered something to Zhang Tie.

"Thank you, no need, I was just trying to see if Huaiyuantang's whip can make me sober!" After Zhang Tie finished speaking, he smiled at Ma Aiyun and the girls who were looking at him with worried eyes in the distance .

The picket took one look at Zhang Tie, backed away, and nodded to a shirtless man with tangled muscles who was holding a whip a few meters away and was about to execute. The big man first opened a mahogany box beside him, and put a A black whip as thick as a child's arm was taken out, and he lifted it up so that the people around him could see clearly, then soaked the whip in the bucket next to him, picked it up, and then swung his hand towards Zhang Tie. pumped over...

"Hoo...", the whip made a sharp piercing sound and scream, and it hit Zhang Tie's back, making a firm and crisp sound—"Pa..."

All the people around who heard the echoing sound suddenly felt the hairs on their skin explode.

There was a bloodstain on Zhang Tie's back, but his body remained motionless, like an iron pillar, and he only frowned slightly.

After whipping Zhang Tie, the strong man saw that Zhang Tie didn't respond, and held the whip in his eyes to see if there was something wrong with it. After finding that there was no problem with the whip, Another whip was drawn out.

"Snapped……"

"La ……"

"La ……"

In a blink of an eye, the big man had drawn more than twenty lashes, not only the faces of the onlookers changed, but even the faces of the executioners changed. With that lash down, even if it hit the stubborn stone, it would still be able to kill the stone. There are a few traces left on the body, let alone a person, but Zhang Tie's body is still like cast iron, motionless, Zhang Tie let alone jumping up, looking from behind, even the muscles on Zhang Tie's back are not moving. Twitch.

At the beginning, Zhang Tie would frown slightly every time he was whipped, but after ten whips, he didn't even frown anymore, but had a calm expression.

People who can resist more than 20 horned dragons without being whipped, the people around them don't say they have seen it, or they haven't even heard of it.

There were more and more people watching around, not only people from Qianlongtang, but also many soldiers from the Hurricane Legion and Sun-breaking Legion in Huaiyuan Hall. Anyone who has been whipped, seeing Zhang Tie's performance at the moment, is not shocked.

After whipping more than ten times with all the strength in his body, the executioner was already panting slightly.

"You're weak, haven't you eaten? It's not fun, try another person!" Zhang Tie yelled.

As soon as the sound came out, the voices of the surrounding soldiers immediately shouted, "Good man!"

The picket with a cold face walked over in person and took the whip over. Then, there was a sharper sound of breaking the air and the sound of the flesh being whipped on Zhang Tie's back.

Then I don't know when it started, every time the whip was whipped, all the onlookers began to report the number loudly for Zhang Tie.

"5%..."

"50..."

"00..."

The sound of the counting became louder and louder, even startling people in the distance.

Hearing the louder noise coming from outside the airship, the elder of Huaiyuan Hall who had been drinking tea quietly in the room frowned, then walked to the window and looked out, because the hull of the airship was very Gao, the elder saw Zhang Tie standing motionless like an iron pillar and being tortured at a glance.

In the room at this moment, besides the elder of Huaiyuan Hall, there was another person, that person also walked to the window, looking at the scene in the distance.

"It's a pity..." The man looked at Zhang Tie and shook his head slightly, "This young man is too benevolent. Ever since he was assassinated on Qianlong Island, I feel that he seems to have feelings for Huaiyuantang. Very deep fear, seems to be deliberately keeping a certain distance from Huaiyuantang!"

"This is also normal. After all, he has just arrived in Huaiyuantang. He has no foundation and was betrayed and assassinated by the guards sent to him by the family. The regiment maintains the original cooperative relationship and still stays on Qianlong Island, which is already considered courageous!" The elder of Huaiyuan Hall who had just scolded Zhang Tieyi was admiring Zhang Tie in his tone at the moment.

"I think Huaiyuantang should take the method of making the full-effect potion into its own hands. If something happens to this young man, judging from the current situation, it will be very difficult for another person to make the same thing For the sake of the family, it is not a good thing for him or Huaiyuantang to hold such an important thing as a full-effect potion in the hands of a young man! This is the same as a child holding a treasure to go through the downtown area!"

The elders of Huaiyuantang smiled proudly, "The reason Huaiyuantang can stand today is because of a small bottle of potion? No matter what, the current method of making the full-effect potion is in the hands of Lord Huaiyuan's blood and descendants." Well, that's enough. If Huaiyuantang used the method of extortion today to get him to hand over the full potion and make the family's hearts collapse, do you think that with Huaiyuantang's foundation and scale today, and those who secretly peeped at Huaiyuantang? With human ability, can Huaiyuantang survive this jihad?"

"However, this is a bit scary..." The man sighed, and looked at Zhang Tie in the distance, "If this kid is more obedient, within a few years, there will definitely be another independent person in Huaiyuan Hall." General, now, I feel that this kid's mind is not completely on the same line with Huaiyuantang. This time he dared to bring someone to Tianhan City privately, violating the rules of Huaiyuantang. I don't know if he will do it in the future. What is more outrageous? And if the 100 whips are drawn, no one in Huaiyuan Hall will let him do anything in the future!"

"Whoever breaks the rules will be punished! In the future, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to betray Huaiyuantang, deceive his teachers and destroy his ancestors, or do things that harm the interests of Huaiyuantang, even if he is a bit deviant, the Huaiyuantang will be so big. It won’t be too much for a freak, let him do it, everything depends on his own good fortune! By the way, how is the investigation of that matter going?”

"It's been confirmed. We can rule out this kid's suspicion. One is that his ability is not enough, especially when he raided the meeting room of Zhen's Guild Hall. With so many people in the meeting room, he couldn't do it with his ability. Kill all those people in a short time, especially when some people have no time to move at all. Second, he drank with people in Jinwu Castle until late at night, and everything was normal the next day. Qianlong Island, unless he can fly, otherwise it is impossible to go back and forth across the sea for thousands of miles overnight. After doing such a thing, there is no departure record of any airship or ship on Qianlong Island that night, nor the next morning. The record of the airship entering the waters of Qianlong Island, thirdly, and most importantly, how did he know the layout of the Zhen family in Huaiyuan Hall? When the Zhen family was planning Huaiyuan Hall, he was still in Heiyan City, so now our only What is certain is that a master who practiced the Iron-Blood God Fist must have participated in the massacre of the Zhen Family Guild Hall."

"Who could it be?" Huaiyuantang's family elders also frowned.

In another room of the airship, Lan Yunxi looked at Zhang Tie in the distance, her face turned slightly pale.

"Ugh………"

"98..."

"Ugh………"

"100..."

With the last sound of whipping meat, the loud counting sound stopped after a hundred, and the surrounding was quiet. Everyone was looking at Zhang Tie, Ma Aiyun, who had a good relationship with Zhang Tie, etc. A few girls ran over with tears in their eyes.

Yuan Ziyi took out the wound su without hesitation, and wiped it on Zhang Tie's back. Gu Caidie quickly picked up Zhang Tie's clothes and put them on for Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie looked at the clouds in the distant sky. The clouds looked like ants for a while, and dragons for a while. The 100 whips just now really woke him up. Just now, in the terrible pain, his brain It was unprecedentedly clear, looking at the clouds over there that day, made him want to understand many things at once.

"Zhang Tie, are you okay?" Seeing that Zhang Tie seemed to be in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, Ma Aiyun touched Zhang Tie's forehead, and asked worriedly, fearing that Zhang Tie would be drawn out of his mind.

"Senior Sister Ma, I'm fine!" Zhang Tie grinned, seeing Zhang Tie's smile until Ma Aiyun let go of his worries.

He didn't feel anything when he was just being whipped. At this moment, Zhang Tie wanted to move his hands. He took out something from his bag and moved his hands, only to feel that his whole body was cut into many pieces. Zhang Tie His face was slightly distorted.

"What do you want, I'll help you!" Ma Aiyun pressed Zhang Tie's hand, "Is it the full potion?"

"No, it's the wallet!" Zhang Tie said to Ma Aiyun while panting, "Sister Ma, please take out my wallet. There is money in it. Sister Ma, please help me go to the logistics department to buy wine and meat for 150 people." !"

"Are you still thinking about eating and drinking at this time?" Ma Aiyun's eyes suddenly widened.

"Tonight I promised to invite some cavalry brothers from Taishi's family to drink. You can't break your promise. Come too. When Liu Xu and the others come back, I will call them. Is it for me to practice?"

"What, you want to go?"

Hearing this, Yuan Ziyi, who had been helping Zhang Tie apply the wound medicine, suddenly trembled, causing Zhang Tie's brows to jump up again.

Zhang Tie nodded, "I feel that it's inappropriate for me to stay here now!" Zhang Tie had just finished speaking, when he saw the faces of several girls darken instantly, and a sunny smile appeared on Zhang Tie's face again , I lowered my voice all of a sudden, and said with some treacherous eyebrows, "Could it be that the senior sisters want to see me sleeping with my butt up every day? I don't even know whether my posture is sexy or not. If the senior sisters want to see it, come quietly later. Find me in Jinwu Castle, and I will let you visit for free, whether you wear pants or not..."

Yuan Ziyi, who was inexplicably wanting to cry just now, broke his tears and smiled, and when he accidentally exerted force on his hand, Zhang Tie let out an earth-shattering scream, and almost jumped up, "Oh, my god, light snack..."

The people around looked at Zhang Tie with eyes full of admiration and wanted to surround them. When they heard Zhang Tie's voice like killing a pig, they stopped in their tracks and looked at each other. Where's that tough guy just now? Why did the tough guy disappear as soon as the whip was finished? Could it be that he was just pretending? I've finished smoking this time, it would be great if I pretended for a while, why did I have diarrhea in the end...

This night, Zhang Tie, Tai Jiaci, Liu Xu, Yang Yuankang, Ma Aiyun, etc., and a group of cavalry from the Taishi family were drinking and getting drunk around a bonfire in the field...

At night, a half-drunk Zhang Tie returned to his tent. In the middle of the night, a figure slipped into Zhang Tie's tent.

"Master..."

Zhang Tie, who woke up all of a sudden, just shouted two words, when he was blocked by a hot face...

Chunmeng has no idiots...
