Chapter 200 A Brand New War
"The Zhang family is in front." Xu Jie looked at the Zhang family in front, feeling a little complicated. This "supposedly" small family has actually supported half of the sky in the Qixia Kingdom, and now it is quite legendary.
It has been two days since we arrived in Qixia Country, and Xu Jie, Yan Qing, and Zheng You are also asking what kind of family the Zhang family is. But the more I inquired about it, the more unbelievable it became—it was too exaggerated.
When he came to the gate, Xu Jie told the guards at the gate that he wanted to meet the head of the Zhang family.
The guards were more polite, "The current head of our Zhang family is Young Master Zhang, and the young master has already gone to Xinglin Hall."
"Isn't the owner Zhang Shengde, Senior Zhang?" Xu Jie was a little surprised.
"The old Patriarch spends most of his time in retreat and practice, and rarely cares about family affairs."
Xu Jie thought for a while, and said truthfully: "We come from the easternmost part of Fertile Land, and we will send Master's body back to Zhang's family according to Master's last wish.
According to my master, my aunt's name is Li Yunxiang, and she is the mistress of the Zhang family. So, could you please inform Senior Zhang Shengde? "
The guard was stunned immediately, told Xu Jie and the others to wait, and ran inside to report in a panic. After a while, Zhang Shengde came out in a hurry, "I am Zhang Shengde, and all three are Li Xu's disciples?"
"Greetings, senior, I am. My name is Xu Jie. These two are my good friends, Yan Qing and Zheng You."
Yan Qing and Zheng You came forward to meet, Zhang Shengde invited the three of them into the lobby, Xu Jie took out Li Xu's birthday box, "Senior, I am originally from the most eastern part of Fertile Earth Continent and the land of blue sun. , then wandered with Master and went to the Kunlun Island in the center. Half a year later, Master's old injury relapsed on Kunlun Island and died.
Due to the long distance, I had to bring Master Huo Huo, and only brought the longevity box. "
Xu Jie respectfully put the birthday box on the table.
Looking at the name 'Li Xu' on it, Zhang Shengde was filled with emotion. We haven't seen each other for almost twenty years, but when we meet again, it's just like this. A little sourness brewed in Zhang Shengde's heart.
Suddenly Zhang Shengde raised his head, "You said, is your master's old wound not healed?"
"Yes."
"Do you know when you were injured?"
"According to my master, I was injured more than 20 years ago. After entrusting my aunt to my seniors, my master traveled around and searched for a cure. But in the end...still...couldn't find it.
The master said that he was already a half-dead man twenty years ago, and he had earned money after struggling to live for twenty years. "
Zhang Shengde raised his head slowly, feeling extremely complicated. It turned out that twenty years ago Li Xu suddenly left his sister behind and left, not because he was heartless. Rather...he had to leave, because he didn't want his sister to witness his death.
"Senior, this is a letter from Master." Xu Jie took out two letters, one was written "From Zhang Shengde", and the other was "From my younger sister, Li Yunxiang".
Zhang Shengde opened the letter to himself, and instantly understood everything.
Li Xu and Li Yunxiang were from the country of Shaoze, to be precise, the young master and son of a small warlord; but the country of Shaoze was in turmoil, and the Li family was wiped out. At the time of crisis, only Li Xu and Li Yunxiang escaped; at that time, Li Xu had already suffered serious internal injuries, and Jin Dan had begun to die.
Later, while wandering in the clouds, he accidentally broke into an ancient cave, and broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, which allowed him to live for another twenty years; but twenty years later, he still died after all.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Shengde asked someone to arrange for Xu Jie and the three of them to stay. He carried the birthday box and came to the backyard, and soon there was a heart-piercing cry.

What happened in the rear has not affected Zhang Hao yet.
At this time, Zhang Hao was standing on the top of the city in high spirits, looking for the commander of the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang together with everyone.
Suddenly Dugu Junjie pointed to a hill located in the center of the Jinyang Kingdom Army in the distance: "Is it there?"
Zhou Jue took out a mirror and threw it into the sky. The mirror immediately projected the light and shadow in the distance, and the picture on the hill in the distance appeared in front of everyone.
The picture is slightly blurry, but it is much better than what the naked eye can see. You can clearly see the picture behind the formation and the forest ten kilometers away: it really is where the commander's camp is.
Zhang Hao looked curiously. I was still thinking about when I would get a telescope for fun, but they have already figured out tricks. Although it is not clear enough, it is also eye-catching.
Zhou Jue smiled proudly at Zhang Hao: "Shuiyue mirror, like the surface of water and the shadow of the moon, can bring distant images closer. This is a rare treasure.
Abnormal treasures can be regarded as a special branch of magic weapons.
Magical treasures in the usual sense are directly related to battles, etc.; and those that are of no benefit to battles but have magical properties are called: strange treasures. "
Zhang Hao rolled his eyes: "I didn't ask you so much, you don't need to explain."
Zhou Jue: ...
Dugu Junjie was already excitedly aiming the cannon. "For guns one to five, the angle is... 44 degrees; for guns six to eight, the angle is 42 degrees.
Ready, aim, fire! "
"Salvo? Shouldn't you adjust after a test shot?" Beside, Feng Zhiling was a little curious.
Dugu Junjie shook his head: "We only have one chance. Once we fail to achieve our goal the first time, the enemy will inevitably move. Now, we can only gamble!"
After Dugu Junjie finished speaking, he personally checked the elevation adjustment of the artillery, and at the same time asked the gunner for his opinion. The gunner made minor adjustments based on experience, and even took out a notebook to calculate it on the spot. These gunners are all core members of the Zhang family and have mastered basic mathematical knowledge.
For No. 1 to No. 5 guns, the barrel length is 1.8 meters; while No. 6 to No. 8 guns have a barrel length of 2.5 meters. Therefore, different calculations and adjustments need to be made in terms of range and angle.
The soldiers were serious and earnest, which actually infected the people around them. Gu Xingdong, the governor of Xingchang County, looked curiously: "We are twenty miles away from the commander's tent. Even the flying sword of the Nascent Soul stage can't seriously injure the Qi refining stage. What kind of artillery can you do?"
Dugu Junjie laughed loudly: "The governor waits!"
At this time, the gunners raised their fists one after another, indicating that they were ready.
Dugu Junjie picked up the command flag and waved it down fiercely: "Let go!"
In the next moment, Gu Xingdong, the magistrate of Xingchang County, only felt his ears buzzing. The sky and the earth seemed to be turned upside down. There was a large amount of pungent smoke rising in front of his eyes, and the artillery sprayed out flames that were more than one meter long.
Eight cannons sounded on the city wall at the same time, and the effect was astonishing.
Even Master Zhou Shuhai was so frightened that his calves trembled.
But Zhou Jue, Zhang Hao, Zhang Xinhan, Bai Ye and others looked at the distance calmly, they wanted to see the explosion in the distance.
Dugu Junjie didn't have the mind to pay attention to the distance, he shouted and directed the soldiers to continue loading the shells. The soldiers quickly pulled out the shell casings and loaded new shells.
Dugu Junjie squinted his eyes, condensing his whole body's true energy into his eyes, and he could vaguely see the trajectory of the shell.
Based on the ballistics of the first attack, he ordered the barrel to be raised a little and fired again. Then keep this angle and fire three crazy volleys.
When the soldiers began to reload the shells for the fifth time, the first wave of shells finally fell.
…………
But Sima Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyang Kingdom, that is, the hussar general of the Jinyang Kingdom, is planning the next military plan with a confident smile on his face.
In the past two days, Sima Zhen carried out seven tentative attacks; in fact, Sima Zhen used offense instead of defense - because the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jinyang also needed to rest.
But the Qixia Kingdom obviously didn't seize this opportunity, but retreated and defended.
Now, after two days of rest, the army has fully recovered, and all kinds of logistical supplies have also followed. The army has a new look!
Looking at the generals, Sima Zhen proudly pointed to the dim city wall twenty miles ahead and said, "We will attack in the middle of the night today, and tomorrow morning we will celebrate in Xinglin Hall.
I heard that Zhou Shuhai's daughter is not only beautiful, but also has good medical skills, so everyone take it easy, maybe she can become a princess or something. "
Zhao Yue next to him was the most excited. The sharpshooter who sniped the emperor of the Qixia Kingdom more than ten days ago shouted excitedly: "Marshal, I heard that the crown prince has already given a betrothal gift to the princess of the Qixia Kingdom! ? Is she also the princess?"
Sima Zhen laughed loudly: "Haha, she has already been downgraded. When Qixia Kingdom is conquered, she can be rewarded with the position of a concubine. Okay, let's stop making trouble... Huh? Why is the other side breathing fire?"
(If you don’t ask for votes, everyone will not vote...don’t be so honest o(╥﹏╥)o)
