Chapter 741 A Corner of the Future
It's hard to see the order in the chaos, but it seems like a pair of invisible hands is controlling everything.
Zhang Hao was panicked and felt that he could not control the situation.
The prison cell of the Shadow Army was broken open, and countless prisoners rushed out. The Shadow Army suffered heavy losses.
If this continues, it may bring disaster to the entire Tiandi City.
Zhang Hao had a premonition that something was wrong and hurried to the patriarch's hall.
"Zhang Hao, the envoy of the Shadow Army, has something important to ask to see the clan leader!" Zhang Hao bowed at the door of the hall and said.
"Creak-"
The door of the main hall opened a crack, and Zhang Hao trotted into the main hall with his body bowed.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Zhang Hao smelled a strong smell of wine and saw Liu Tao sitting on the steps above the main hall, smelling of alcohol and with a lot of wine jars beside him.
Zhang Hao was surprised. The clan leader had never been a drunkard, so why did he drink so much now.
His mind turned, he quickly approached and bowed to salute.
"What happened outside?" Liu Tao asked. He drank too much, his tongue was curled up, his pronunciation was unclear, and his body was swaying.
Zhang Hao said: "If I tell the clan leader, the prison of the Shadow Army... has been broken!"
"What?! -" Liu Tao was so shocked that he woke up from the wine.
Zhang Hao hurriedly added: "Someone cooperated with the outside and broke through the prison's restrictions and seals from the inside. The warden who guarded the prison died, and other jailers were also massacred. I was organizing a shadow army to stop me, but I was blocked by a group of people. The sniper attacks by unknown experts have caused heavy casualties to our Shadow Army!"
Liu Tao's magical power surged, and the alcohol in his body evaporated, and he stood up.
His eyes became clearer, and his mind became much clearer, and he was thinking seriously.
"The Shadow Army was sniped by a strange master?! Who is so bold as to dare to make an enemy of my Liu Family's Shadow Army?!" Liu Tao asked with a frown.
Zhang Hao looked hesitant and said, "I dare not say anything!"
"Say!" Liu Tao shouted, his eyes showing murderous intent.
Zhang Hao trembled and said anxiously: "They are our own clan members of the Liu family. These strange masters are all members of the Liu family. They overturned the prison in order to rescue the prisoners in the prison. "
Liu Tao trembled, feeling that this matter was serious, and at the same time he was extremely confused.
"There are hundreds of thousands of households in the Shadow Army, and there are as many strong men as clouds. How could someone overthrow the prison cell?!"
Zhang Hao said with a face of shame: "Chief Qi, more than half of the thousands of households in the Shadow Army... I can't send them, they don't listen to orders!"
"These old fat men are all as cunning as loaches. They only listened to the words of my godfather Yang Shou'an. Not only did they ignore my words, they also cut the people I sent into human sticks and threw them back."
Speaking of this, his face was filled with grievances.
When Liu Tao heard this, he was stunned at first, and then became furious.
"Waste! You are such a waste!"
Liu Tao angrily scolded Zhang Hao, "You said you would be no worse than your godfather Yang Shou'an, so I privately agreed to let you control the Shadow Army. I didn't expect you to be so useless!"
The day before yesterday, he quietly appeared in the Zhenfu Envoy Hall and expressed his support for Zhang Hao. He hoped that Zhang Hao could take over, replace Yang Shou'an, and shuffle the Shadow Army to become a new sharp knife in his hand.
After all, Zhang Hao seems to be easier to control than Yang Shou'an.
But Liu Tao did not expect that Zhang Hao not only failed to control the Shadow Army, but was also restrained, and even the Shadow Army prison was overturned.
This is simply unimaginable!
"You disappoint me!" Liu Tao sighed.
Zhang Hao said in fear: "Patriarch, please calm down. Chief, please calm down. It's not because my subordinates don't work hard, but because my godfather, Yang Shou'an, is too strong. Those people only listen to his words, and there's nothing I can do about it!"
"boom!"
Liu Tao struck out with a palm, causing Zhang Hao to vomit blood and fly backwards.
"Shut up! I only know how to shirk responsibility. Your godfather has never let me down in the tasks I gave to your godfather, and he has never shirked responsibility!"
Liu Tao scolded angrily, feeling disappointed and feeling heartbroken at the same time.
No comparison, no harm!
After a comparison at this moment, Zhang Hao is far behind Yang Shou'an!
Is there no one in the entire Shadow Army who can compare to Yang Shouan? !
Could it be that Yang Shou'an's control over the Shadow Army was so complete? !
Is this shadow army my Liu family’s shadow army, or his Yang Shou’an’s shadow army? !
Liu Tao's heart was complicated and his thoughts were turning.
After thinking for a long time, Liu Tao waved to Zhang Hao, who was lying far away and vomiting blood.
Zhang Hao crawled all the way to Liu Tao's feet, with blood on the corner of his mouth, and said respectfully: "Please give me the clan leader's orders!"
Liu Tao took out a token and handed it to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao took it and took a look, and saw that the token was purple-gold in color. One side was engraved with the Liu family's sacred mountain and the ancestral tower, and the other side was engraved with the pattern of the Tiandi City. There were three words written on it - Commander!
Under the commander, there is a small "right" character.
"Commander on the right?!" Zhang Hao was confused, having some kind of guess in his mind, excited and nervous.
Liu Tao said: "You are right, from now on, you are the right commander of the Shadow Army!"
"With this token, whoever disobeys your orders will be immediately punished for treason!"
Zhang Hao was so excited that his whole body trembled, and he kowtowed vigorously and said loudly: "Thank you very much for the patriarch's appreciation. Zhang Hao will definitely work for the patriarch with all his heart and serve the patriarch to the death!"
Liu Tao smiled slightly, helped him up, and then took out another elixir. The elixir was wrapped in clouds, like a fairy like mist, and there was a golden light. At first glance, it was a top-quality elixir.
Liu Tao said: "This is a Taixu Divine Pill. After taking it, you can break through to the half-step Taixu realm. I give it to you today to improve your cultivation and make it easier for you to do things. I hope you won't let me down again."
Zhang Hao's face turned red, he had never expected such a good thing.
With trembling hands, he took the elixir respectfully, his eyes were blood red, and he swore excitedly: "The patriarch has done a great favor today. Zhang Hao will never forget it. He will be loyal to the patriarch and never betray. God will kill the god if he blocks it, and Buddha will kill if he blocks it." Buddha!"
After saying this, he found that Liu Tao was still staring at him with a cold face.
Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and continued to swear: "Even if my godfather Yang Shou'an is in front of me, I, Zhang Hao, would dare to draw my sword!"
When Liu Tao heard this, he smiled and was very satisfied.
That's what he wanted.
"Go, take this Taixu Divine Pill as soon as possible, and completely control the Shadow Army as soon as possible!" Liu Tao waved his hand, staring at Zhang Hao with majestic eyes, and said: "If you let me down again, wipe your own neck!"
Zhang Hao trembled all over and said in a decisive voice: "Clan leader, please rest assured, Zhang Hao will not let you down!"
After that, he bowed and stepped back, arrived at the door of the hall, bowed again, and then left quickly.
In the main hall.
Liu Tao's eyes flashed, and he paced and pondered. After a while, his lips moved slightly, and the sound was transmitted elsewhere.
After a while, Liu Liuhai came, followed by Liu Yangyang.
"Clan leader!"
"Meet the clan leader!"
Liu Liuhai and Liu Yangyang said in unison. Liu Liuhai glanced at the wine jar on the steps of the main hall, then smelled the alcohol in the air, and frowned.
Liu Yangyang lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
Liu Tao said directly: "I heard that the prison of the Shadow Army was overturned by people inside and outside. All the prisoners escaped, and there were people to help them, right?!"
Liu Liuhai nodded and said: "Yes, I have mobilized the Shadow Army to suppress it. I believe the chaos will be quelled soon!"
"Where did the five thousand sickle soldiers who disappeared go? Have they been found out?!" Liu Tao asked again.
Liu Liuhai was surprised that the clan leader also knew about this matter. He looked at Liu Yangyang, thinking that Liu Yangyang had reported it privately to Liu Tao.
Liu Yangyang shook his head slightly, indicating that he had never reported to Liu Tao.
Liu Tao saw the two people's little moves and said angrily: "Do you think you can hide such a thing from me?! Do you really think that I, the leader of the clan, am blind?!"
Liu Liuhai said anxiously: "Clan leader, please don't be angry! Your wisdom and wisdom are unparalleled by anyone in the family, except for the ancestors, you are the one!"
As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.
Liu Tao snorted coldly: "Don't be so playful!"
"You once told me that the Sickle Army is now all members of the Liu family, but why did you privately build the Shadow Army into an outer camp and an inner camp, and allow people with foreign surnames to join the Sickle Army?!"
"How long do you want to hide this from me?!"
"In the past few days, the sickle army in the outer camp has been mobilized frequently, and the fighting in the dark has continued, causing panic in the entire Tiandi City. Do we have to alarm our ancestors?!"
"Liu Liuhai, are you the leader of the Scythe Army?! If it doesn't work, replace him!"
These words were very harsh, and in the end he even called Liu Liuhai by his name.
When Liu Liuhai heard this, he was also angry. The clan leader actually reprimanded him in front of Liu Yangyang, a junior. This was not saving him any face!
He waved his sleeves and said angrily: "Clan leader, oh no! Liu Tao! I'm telling you, you are here reprimanding me over and over again. What about you, look what you have been doing these days?!"
"I drink here every day, allowing the Shadow Army to do evil things, and it becomes a mess!"
"Who is Zhang Hao? He can control the Shadow Army?! Are you confused or crazy!"
"In my opinion, you just saw that Yang Shou'an's cultivation level was higher than yours, so you stopped listening to you and became jealous of him. That's why you tried every means to get rid of Yang Shou'an!"
These words really touched my heart!
Liu Tao was so angry that he shook his body, covering his heart with his hand, and his face turned pale.
Liu Yangyang deeply regretted that he followed Liu Liuhai here. He retreated quietly and wanted to leave. He didn't want to hear these words that a junior like him shouldn't hear. He was even more afraid that in the end, he would be remembered by the two top family officials. , if there is a brainwashing magic, you will suffer a big loss.
As a result, as soon as his footsteps moved, Liu Tao angrily yelled: "Stand, don't move. Let's speak clearly in front of Yangyang today!"
"Look who's confused!"
Liu Yangyang was embarrassed and frightened. He bowed his body without saying a word and did not dare to raise his head.
Liu Liuhai snorted coldly: "You had a quarrel with Dahai that day, and I thought there was something wrong with you. When I saw you today, it turned out that you were possessed!"
Liu Tao smashed the table with an angry palm and said: "Am I wrong?! Am I obsessed?! Yang Shou'an was able to betray the Living Dead Sect back then. Could it be that if his wings become stronger in the future, he won't betray us?" The Liu family?!"
Liu Liuhai raised his head and said: "With our ancestors here, what are you afraid of?! And you and I have the sea, so many people, how can we be afraid of Yang Shou'an!? Besides, he is loyal to the family, why would he betray a Yang Shou'an? explain!"
Liu Tao sighed: "Liuhai, you and Dahai are too naive, your vision is too short-sighted!"
"There is yin and yang in the heaven and earth, and reincarnation of all things. Now our Liu family is so powerful and the flowers are blooming, but there is no guarantee that our Liu family will decline in the future. Not to mention that our ancestors are still here, but what if our ancestors are gone?"
"I was in seclusion that day, and suddenly I saw a glimpse of the future. It was like a dream, but it scared me so much that I almost suffered a backlash!" Liu Tao said this, with a look of fear in his eyes that Liu Liuhai had never seen before. He was uneasy and asked: "Rikkai, do you know what the corner of the future I see is?!"
Liu Liuhai said blankly: "What is it?!"
Liu Tao said in fear: "I saw that my ancestor was missing. There was a traitor in our Liu family. We were torn apart. The building was about to collapse. There was blood everywhere. Dongdong died, Meimei died too, and Dahai's head was floating in the sea of blood. There is only one mouth left in Wuhai, but it is still holding a dry tobacco pot, and many tribesmen are dead..."
"I have to see it clearly, but this dim corner of the future makes me feel like I woke up from hell. All I see when I open my eyes is death and extinction! There is no hope!"
"Rikkai, I'm scared, I'm terrified, I'm really worried. I don't want my family to be like this in the future, so I'm dealing with all the people who may betray me in advance."
"After much thought, the person in the family who is most likely to betray is Yang Shou'an. That's why Yang Shou'an was targeted in this way by me!"
Liu Liuhai felt cold sweat running down his back, and Liu Yangyang was dumbfounded.
Both of them wanted to know what happened to them in the future that Liu Tao saw.
"Clan Leader, this glimpse of the future that I accidentally saw in seclusion may not be true?!" Liu Liuhai said with some worry.
Liu Tao shook his head firmly and said: "No! This matter cannot be taken lightly!"
"In "The Ancestor's Biography", Chapter 1112, Line 756, clearly records a glimpse of the future that the ancestor saw in retreat, saying that the Liu family would have civil strife and decline, and as a result, It really came true!”
"Behind that record, there is a saying from our ancestors: One will be able to channel spirits in the depths of enlightenment, and one will know the destiny by peering into the future. Don't be distracted and be untrue. Reincarnation is the retribution of heaven."
Liu Liuhai's scalp felt numb when he heard that, he turned around and heard Liu Yangyang said: "Is there such a record in "The Biography of the Ancestors"?!"
Liu Yangyang nodded and said: "Indeed, that paragraph has a total of 13,203 words, 3,18 periods, 5,200 commas, and 1,001 exclamation points , four hundred and thirty question marks!”
Liu Liuhai: "..."
Liu Tao: "..."
After a long while, Liu Tao waved his hand and said: "Yangyang, please get out, and the chaos in the prison will be quelled as soon as possible!"
Liu Yangyang was stunned, wondering where he had said something wrong. He blinked and thought for a moment, then added: "By the way, clan leader, sixth elder, there are three ellipses in that paragraph..."
"Gungun, don't waste time here! Hurry up and put an end to the chaos!" Liu Liuhai gritted his teeth and said with a look of disgust on his face.
Liu Yangyang said "Oh", bowed and hurried away.
Before leaving the palace, Liu Liuhai's voice came over: "Everything I heard today is like an ellipsis, rotting in the stomach, don't spread it outside!"
"yes!"
Liu Yangyang responded and left the hall.
Liu Tao and Liu Liuhai were left in the main hall.
They sat down and continued to talk about the topic. After a while, it seemed that the conversation was over. The two apologized to each other. They felt extremely guilty that they had lost their temper at each other just now. They shouldn't have spoken like that and hurt each other's heart.
When it came to sincerity, both of them burst into tears, hugged each other, and cried and laughed.
Seen from a distance, the two big white heads are huddled together, as warm as brothers.
Outside the main hall.
Liu Dahai and Liu Wuhai came, and they were very sneaky and sneaky.
After listening to the movements in the hall for a moment, the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling relieved, and then left quietly.
ps: Two chapters were posted together. Before 9 o'clock, there was another chapter. I apologize for not updating on time in the past two days.
