Chapter 996: Mr. Zheng’s Birthday Banquet

Zhang Xing knew what was going on in this little girl's head, but he was sure that it was not a good thing.

"But only the scales are beautiful. In fact, dragons are ugly."

Hearing what Ruan Mei said, Wen Jing suddenly accelerated in anger and almost threw Ruan Mei off.

"You are ugly, little girl!" Wen Jing couldn't help but said angrily.

"Ah?"

Ruan Mei was stunned when she heard the voice. She saw Wen Jing turned her huge head and looked at her fiercely.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you could understand human words."

Wen Jing rolled her eyes at her, turned her head and continued to fly.

But Ruan Mei said another sentence, which made Wen Jing really want to throw her off.

"If I knew you could understand human words, I wouldn't say you are ugly."

Zhang Xing turned his face away and pretended to appreciate the scenery. He really didn't dare to look at Ruan Mei.

But it was useless. Ruan Mei was like a silly girl with a hundred thousand questions in her mind. She kept asking questions along the way.

A month later, in the Giant Hammer Empire's capital, Giant Hammer Castle, Mr. Zheng Haisheng celebrated his 280th birthday.

The Zheng family is a top-notch family in the empire, and is also the royal family's in-laws and the strongest and most powerful supporter.

However, Mr. Zheng is not very satisfied with the current emperor, William Chu.

On the one hand, the emperor is a mixed-blood, and on the other hand, he is dictatorial and warlike.

The empire has finally been stable for more than ten years, and William Chu has reached the age of fifty-one. He can no longer suppress his ambition and begins to stir.

In the past ten years, he has continuously recruited soldiers and recruited a large number of warriors and magicians.

Regardless of their good or bad character, as long as their cultivation is above the emperor level, they are all accepted under his command.

It is said that he secretly colluded with the terrifying killer group.

Anyone who opposes him is either dismissed and investigated on trumped-up charges or assassinated by killers.

Now, only Mr. Zheng's faction can barely hold on in the court.

But the old man had already stopped caring about state affairs and retired from the position of Grand Master for eighty years.

None of his descendants were promising, and the best few were three-star war masters.

But they were very close to the King of Chu. Although they were not as famous as the old man, they were also powerful figures in the court.

And those who depended on the old man's power were marginalized.

The old man once came out to reprimand the King of Chu, but the King of Chu showed respect on the surface, but continued to do his own thing afterwards and ignored him at all.

The old man was so angry that his hair stood upside down and he almost vomited blood, but he had no choice.

The King of Chu invited two five-star war masters and both of them were made national masters.

The national master was just an honorary title and basically did not participate in state affairs.

Old man Zheng Haisheng was the Grand Master in those days, holding military power, and even the First Marshal of the Army had to listen to his command.

Of course, some empires did not have the position of Grand Master.

Zhang Xing felt that these empires were a mixture of Eastern and Western civilizations in the history of the earth.

Originally, Mr. Zheng didn't want to hold a big birthday party for his 280th birthday, but the younger generations of the family and the Emperor of Chu had some evil ideas and insisted on celebrating his birthday.

They said that he should be filial and that he had devoted his whole life to the empire and was selfless, and that he deserved the respect and pride of all the people in the empire.

Mr. Zheng was also very happy to hear this. No matter how different their ideas of governing the country were, they were all for the future of the empire.

So, Mr. Zheng readily accepted this suggestion, and a smile appeared on his face. He also liked these younger generations.

However, he didn't notice the coldness hidden deep in the eyes of the Emperor of Chu...
