Chapter 341 Birthday Banquet

Once the emperor and the courtiers, Situ Xing and Fang Hua are old fritters from the Guanzhong Criminal Hall. They did not come to provoke Chu Xiu, and Chu Xiu would not touch them, otherwise they would really kill everyone. Who would work for him? ?

However, Chu Xiu couldn't use these two people with confidence. His own people had to occupy most of them.

Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "The state capital in the hands of Wei Changling is now under the jurisdiction of Yang Ling."

It can be said that Yang Ling contributed a lot to this incident, and it also proved his loyalty to Chu Xiu. Yang Ling deserved this state capital.

Although Yang Ling's strength is not very good, but he is smarter and capable. He has been helping Wei Jiuduan with some chores for so many years, and he has done everything in an orderly manner. Otherwise, he would not have stayed by Wei Jiuduan's side for so long. time.

Hearing this, Yang Ling immediately stood up and saluted Chu Xiu, "Thank you, my lord!"

His thanks were sincere, and from this point we can see the difference between Chu Xiu and Wei Jiuduan.

In the past, he followed Wei Jiuduan for so many years, but Wei Jiuduan just promised him a lot of empty promises, without any real things.

Even if it was Wei Jiuduan's famed stunt Chasing the Dragon, he didn't pass it on to Yang Ling until his death.

But after following Chu Xiu, he got two state capitals one after another. Although things were a little dangerous, the benefits were huge.

Chu Xiu continued: "Jiang Taoran is temporarily unable to serve as inspector. The two state capitals under him are separated and managed by Ghost Hand King and Du Guangzhong respectively."

Ghost Hand King and Du Guangzhong have always been the ones who handle the most things among the two forces under Chu Xiu's command. Although these two people are not the strongest in martial arts, they have the highest comprehensive ability.

"There is also the position of inspector of Jianzhou Prefecture that Tang Ya will take."

Among Chu Xiu's people, Tang Ya and Yan Bugui are basically the strongest, but Chu Xiu can feel that Tang Ya's strength should be more than that. He is hiding his clumsiness and has something at the bottom of the box Haven't used it yet.

Chu Xiu has no habit of prying into other people's privacy. Tang Ya's strength lies here, and he can afford the position of inspector.

In fact, it is reasonable to say that the strength of Yan Bugui is enough to be an inspector. He is currently in retreat, and when he leaves the customs, he will also be a master of the Three Flowers Gathering.

But the nature of the wild goose does not return is there, it is okay to let him kill people, but forget it as an inspector.

After all the rewards were awarded, four of the six inspectors in the entire Kansai area were Chu Xiu's confidantes. Compared with Wei Jiuduan at that time, Chu Xiu now truly controls the entire Kansai area.

Chu Xiu looked around at the people around him, and said with a cold tone in his tone: "At present, there are internal and external troubles in Kansai. As I said before, you must first settle down when you are fighting against the outside world. Now the internal problems have been solved. It's time to solve some external problems, these few days, you should sort out your respective strengths first, and finally gather together to solve all the problems at once!"

The hearts of all the people present were terrified. If the land of Kansai wanted to be truly peaceful, a killing would be indispensable.

Chu Xiu's actions in the Xingtang branch have no impact on the martial arts forces in the Kansai region. These are internal adjustments in the Kansai branch and do not involve those Jianghu forces.

Therefore, in the view of the Zhang family and other Jianghu forces, Chu Xiu should be consolidating his strength during this period of time, trying to digest the power of Wei Jiuduan, the former executioner, and should not come to trouble them for the time being.

So a few days later, the Zhang family began to prepare for the 188th birthday of Zhang Wanshan, the patriarch of the Zhang family.

In Jianghu, except for the really older or respected Jianghu seniors, warriors from some sect families rarely celebrate their birthdays.

A warrior who has reached the realm of harmony between man and nature will have a lifespan of two hundred years. If every birthday is celebrated one by one, what will it be like? It was simply asking for birthday presents from other people on purpose.

Therefore, most warriors will only choose to hold a birthday on the premise that their lifespan is near the end, but they can still maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness.

This year Zhang Wanshan happens to be one hundred and eighty-eight years old, which is an auspicious number. In addition, he is not yet old enough to have his vitality and blood completely decayed to the point where he can't shake it. It is quite normal to hold a birthday banquet.

Of course, part of the reason why the Zhang family held this birthday banquet was forced by Chu Xiu.

Before Chu Xiu was promoted to be the prison officer, the members of the Zhang family conceded defeat in a low-key manner and did not dare to do anything more, which also caused the prestige of the Zhang family to drop greatly.

And this time the Zhang family held a birthday and invited all the powers of the rivers and lakes in Kansai to show them. Although my Zhang family regressed in front of Chu Xiu, it was also because of Chu Xiu's identity. It was not Chu Xiu, but the Guanzhong Criminal Hall.

Now the Wei family has been destroyed, and their Zhang family has become the veritable No. 1 family in Kansai. The Zhang family can admit defeat and retreat in front of Chu Xiu, but compared with other martial arts forces in Kansai, it is still only possible. Let them look up to the existence.

Three days later, when Zhang Wanshan's birthday officially started, Jiuyuan Mansion was very lively, and all the people coming and going were people from the martial arts who came to participate in Zhang Wanshan's birthday.

The Wei family was destroyed, and the Zhang family was already the strongest martial arts force in Kansai. The Zhang family personally posted an invitation, and none of the martial arts forces in the Kansai region dared to lose face.

Most of the other casual martial artists came to watch the excitement, and of course some people wanted to mix in, so as to make contacts and the like.

At this time, in a restaurant in the east of Jiuyuan Mansion, a young martial artist not yet twenty years old was fiddling with a wine glass with a bored expression on his face.

Although this young man is only less than twenty, he already has an innate level of cultivation. Even if it is placed in the Jianghu, it is considered fast to reach this level at this age.

A middle-aged man beside him frowned and said, "Young master, the ancestor's birthday banquet is about to start at noon. Are you still not going back? Are the ancestor's birthday gifts ready?"

This young man is Zhang Donglai, the most favored disciple of the younger generation of the Zhang family. He is not a descendant of Zhang Kunze's lineage, but he is the most talented. Zhang Wanshan has liked him the most since he was a child.

When other young disciples of the Zhang family trembled when they saw Zhang Wanshan and dared not speak, he was the only one who could sit on Zhang Wanshan's lap and call the ancestor to act like a baby.

As Zhang Donglai is getting older and his talent is getting better and better, apart from his somewhat lazy and playful personality, Zhang Wanshan is also extremely satisfied with him, and even Zhang Wanshan would want to make Zhang Donglai the heir of the patriarch if he is not afraid that his family will be dissatisfied with Kun Ze up.

Hearing the words of the middle-aged martial artist at this time, Zhang Donglai lazily said: "What's the rush, even if I go after the birthday banquet, the ancestor will not blame me."

Seeing Zhang Donglai's lazy look, the middle-aged warrior couldn't help but anxiously said: "Master, the other young masters are racking their brains to give the ancestor a satisfactory gift to please the ancestor. You are here to take your time." Don't worry, what should I do if someone steals the limelight?"

Zhang Donglai said disdainfully: "Those trash want to steal the limelight from me? Uncle Kun, don't worry, even if I don't give you anything, the patriarch loves me the most."

Seeing that Uncle Kun still wanted to nag, Zhang Donglai hurriedly said: "Okay, Uncle Kun, don't talk about it, I have already thought about the birthday gift.

The Chen family in Lingzhou prefecture recently got a small cold jade sword. I heard that they are going to dedicate it to the ancestors in exchange for the support and help of my Zhang family.

I'm going to take that cold jade sword as a congratulatory gift to my ancestor. "

Uncle Kun hesitated and said: "But young master, that cold jade sword is very precious. The Chen family still wants to take this opportunity to make some limelight. Will they give it to you?"

Zhang Donglai sneered and said: "No? If the Chen family doesn't give it, I just need to say a few bad words in front of the ancestors, and the Chen family can't afford it!

I want to see whether it is Hanyu Xiaojian who holds more weight in the ancestor's heart, or Zhang Donglai who holds more weight in front of the ancestor.

If the Chen family is more sensible, I don't mind saying something nice for the Chen family afterwards, otherwise, I will let the Chen family give this gift away for free! "

At this time, there was a burst of applause from downstairs, Tang Ya slapped his hands and sighed: "Sure enough, Mr. Zhang is good at playing, and he snatched the birthday gifts from other people's ancestors and gave them as his own. This is called borrowing flowers to present Buddha." ? No, it is right to borrow flowers to present to our ancestors, that old Zhang Wanshan is not qualified to become a Buddha."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Kun and Zhang Donglai's complexions suddenly changed.

Zhang Donglai shouted: "Bold! Who are you?"

Tang Ya said slowly: "I'm the new inspector of Jianzhou Prefecture, Tang Ya. It just so happens that my family is going to attend Zhang Wanshan's birthday banquet, so I'm here to borrow something from you as a gift, Mr. Zhang."

Uncle Kun's complexion suddenly changed. Of course he knew who Tang Ya was. It was a vicious dog under Chu Xiu's command, and a terrifying vicious dog. Wei Changling died in his hands!

But Zhang Donglai didn't react, he subconsciously asked, "What do you borrow?"

Tang Ya still had a lazy and lazy smile on his face, but what he said was creepy: "I will lend you your head as a congratulatory gift, Mr. Zhang!"

"Master, run!"

Uncle Kun immediately made a move when he heard the words, pulling Zhang Donglai and wanted to escape, but unfortunately, in front of Tang Ya's body speed, it was a joke for them to want to escape.

The two dragon-tailed soul-chasing darts slashed towards Uncle Kun with a strange arc, and instantly tore his protective energy. fall.

But before he could heave a sigh of relief, his figure suddenly paused, with a look of disbelief in his eyes, a dragon-tailed soul-seeking dart had pierced him completely from behind!

As soon as Tang Ya moved, he was in front of Zhang Donglai in an instant.

Zhang Donglai's eyes were frightened, and he shouted: "Don't kill me! I am the Zhang family..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Ya cut his neck with a dagger in his hand, cut off his head in an instant, and put it in a brocade box without any blood on it.

After closing the box, a lazy smile appeared on the corner of Tang Ya's mouth: "The gift is here, it's perfect!"
