one's door

The source of news about the demon species came from the demon country.The reason why the demon country can have clearer messages about the spirit race is because the demon kingdom has more complete means of confrontation with the spirit race, and can even use the way of death to invade the sanctuary. Over time, there will even be some eyeliners in the sanctuary.These channels have been gradually formed in the fighting between you and me for thousands of years.

Therefore, the life of the demon species in the human race is far better than that of the demon species in the demon race. This is the result of objective needs.The human race wants more from the demon species, so the living conditions they give are better.

"Your Majesty, the reaction of the demon species during this period of time is also very surprising. They did not receive the news in advance of the sudden rampage of the spirit race on the ground of the human race. But it is certain that this time the rampage of the spirit race is not only the suffering of our Nanyuan country. , Beiwu Kingdom, Huayue Kingdom, etc. All human nations have the same experience. For example, Beiwu and Huayue, which are nearby, have been ravaged by the spirit race far more seriously than ours.

However, there has been new news from the demon species recently. Although it has not been stated clearly, it is certain that the reason why the spirit race suddenly behaved abnormally in the human race's territory is because of their own internal problems.There is an urgent need to collect a large number of living souls in a short period of time, so the previous strategy was abandoned.What caused the Eldar to do so is unknown.Moreover, during this period of time, the Yaozu side was not stable, and many news were difficult to pass on.

Therefore, the reason for the sudden rampage of the Spirit Race is unknown for the time being.

But the news from Beijiang County was enough to be called a surprise.If Zhang Yan can seal one dead path and stabilize the crisis situation of the entire Beijiang County in the face of the spirit race, then he can surely follow the same pattern to block the other four dead paths.

But whether Zhang Yan is willing or not is hard to say. "

Yang Sheng was a little surprised when he heard the words, and asked: "Didn't you guess before that Zhang Yan's ability is inseparable from those spirit tribes? Whether he uses the spirit tribe for food or has other uses, the spirit tribe has great influence on him. The benefits. He can seal Beijiang County's Dead Silence Dao, why can't he seal the other four?"

In Yang Sheng's opinion, sealing the Dead Silence Dao is also good for Zhang Yan. It can lock up the spirit race in Nanyuan Kingdom, which is like closing the door and beating dogs. In addition, those Zhang Yan keeps taking out can trap the spirit race And the increasingly powerful bell, Zhang Yan can undoubtedly benefit from it.

How can there be a reason for refusal?In the worst case, add some benefits, it shouldn't be hard to convince Zhang Yan.

The old eunuch bowed and explained: "Your Majesty thinks that's all right, but he didn't take into account the reaction of the spirit race. Even if Zhang Yan can benefit from closing all or most of the dead paths in Nanyuan Kingdom, but for the Lingzu For the family, it must be a great event that the entrances and exits of the five dead roads before and after are blocked. At that time, they will definitely come here with great power, either breaking through Zhang Yan's blockade method, or coming from a nearby place like Beiwu.

At that time, it must be Zhang Yan who will be regarded as a must-kill by the spirit clan.Whether he is willing to take this risk is really not clear.

But you can give it a try.It's always good to seal half of them, if not all of them.But the old slave estimated that Zhang Yan would definitely put forward new conditions in exchange. "

Yang Sheng was also stunned.Blocking the Dead Silence Road seems to be blocking the entrances and exits of a few spirit clans, but in fact it is equivalent to being "robbed of a big bowl of rice" for the spirit clan.The nature is completely different from Zhang Yan's one place and two places.It is bound to bring a huge crisis to Zhang Yan.

"Go and have a good talk with Zhang Yan. If he is willing to help, he can first focus on stabilizing the surrounding counties of Chonglan County and Xiyuan County. Other counties, including Zhongding County where the imperial city is located, are on the contrary. It can be placed on the second layer of options. You know what I mean?"

"But Your Majesty, Zhongding County is where the country is based. If there is any trouble in Zhongding County, it will be in big trouble. The old slave thinks it is still..."

"Okay, just do as I said. The country is the country, the country is the country, not the nominal center of the imperial city. The current situation of Chonglan County and Xiyuan County is pulling each other down. The surrounding counties and cities The stability of the city is directly related to the strength of their rear support. There must be no chaos. Besides, the power in the imperial city is strong, and it is not difficult to stabilize it under the ravages of the spirit race."

This is actually a simple multiple choice question.Without being sure about Zhang Yan's bottom line, Yang Sheng chose to keep the stability of the rear of Xiyuan County, which is now in dire straits, and Chonglan County, which is also in increasing crisis.Instead of choosing to stabilize the surroundings of the imperial city where you live.

The old eunuch didn't dare to talk anymore.He understood the reason why the emperor made such a choice.Compared with the sudden rampage of the spirit race, the monster race in the southwest is also deadly, and even looks more dangerous than the rampage of the spirit race at present.

"The old slave knows, and will talk to Zhang Yan as soon as possible. In addition, Shen Wujiu has a detailed report about Zhang Yan's flying to the sky. Do you think you can tell Zhang Yan face to face this time?"

The expression on Yang Sheng's face also became more relaxed following the topic mentioned by the old eunuch.He also read the detailed note from Shen Wujiu's newspaper. The most important thing in it was that Shen Wujiu was extremely sure that the reason why Zhang Yan could fly was by a shuttle that could change in size.Zhang Yan called it "Skylark Shuttle".

Can other people use this kind of Skylark Shuttle?Can it be released by Zhang Yan like the bell that can trap the spirit race?

If possible.Then this kind of Pokémon that can carry people to fly and is faster than Feiyu will definitely become a major endogenous force of Nanyuan Kingdom, and the far-reaching impact it will bring will definitely not be the slightest bit.Even the Nanyuan Kingdom's dream of every generation of emperors to regain the northern territory and restore the size of the Shang Kingdom has suddenly become less illusory and rootless.

"We can mention it together. It is unknown whether Zhang Yan is willing to take out that treasure, but he must try it. See if he can take it out. If there is any request, it doesn't matter even if it is a lion."

After saying this, Yang Sheng dismissed the old eunuch with a wave of his hand, and continued to deal with state affairs at his desk.But suddenly he stopped writing.He inexplicably had a seemingly funny feeling, that is, it seemed that many things in Nanyuan Kingdom were moving towards that Zhang Yan all of a sudden, and there were more and more places to rely on the other party.

A country depends on one person.It was like a joke, but Yang Sheng couldn't laugh for a while.

Chapter 314 Freshmen

The new house has been in order for some time.There are Wang Lanping's staff in all aspects of the house, who lives in which courtyard, and what preparations and arrangements to make are basically arranged by her.The younger sister, Zhang Huiyuan, followed along and was responsible for finding someone to punish Wang Lanping according to Wang Lanping's ideas.

The same goes for the houses of Liu Rui and Wang Nian who also lived in Zhang's mansion.

For Wang Nian, the naughty monkey, Wang Lanping has long been used to the other party's fuss, and also likes this mischievous little child.On the contrary, Liu Rui, who has only been home for a short time, made her feel even more fond of her.

Zhang Yan said that Wang Lanping had a maternal instinct.Because of Liu Rui's cute appearance, as well as her miserable background and background, Wang Lanping accepted her instantly.

In Wang Lanping's words, "Since Xiao Mantou has no father or mother, then the Zhang family is her home, and you who are her teacher are half of her father." It is so categorical that Zhang Yan cannot argue.

Don't look at Wang Lanping's promises in the new house, but she didn't want to go to Zhang Yan's yard alone.Because Zhang Yan will arrange everything by himself.

Zhang Yan's preference is very simple, that is, white walls, and the interior decoration is moderate, and a little simple is the best.In addition, his yard is also the largest in the entire mansion.There are not only residences, but also the "Pill Room" and "Refining Room" designed by Zhang Yan himself and built by others, as well as a new, larger and more solemn quiet room for the Sanqing Statue.

Of course, these are just appearances.The point is that when Zhang Yan was decorating the new house, he carved the spirit gathering array inside and outside the house, so that all the houses in the family can enjoy the benefits of abundant spiritual energy.It is beneficial for him and several students to practice, and it is also beneficial for his family members to maintain their health.

Especially for Wang Qin who had just returned to Langyuan City, a place full of aura is naturally more suitable.

Speaking of Wang Qin, Wang Lanping originally planned to go to Xiangkou to pick him up in person.But in the end, Wang Qin wrote to say that she had found a car dealer, and that her two brothers from her natal family would pick her up, so she didn't dare bother Wang Lanping to leave.When Wang Lanping received the letter, Wang Qin was already halfway there, so he could only give up.

And Zhang Yan also wanted to go and fetch Wang Qin back, it would be faster if he used the Lark Shuttle to pick him up.However, the matter of Feitian put Wang Qin's acceptance to a greater test. For the pregnant woman, Zhang Yan didn't dare to frighten her, so she just took care of her secretly along the way, so that Wang Qin could return safely all the way.

It has been four and a half months since Wang Qin became pregnant, and the doctor will come to see her every half a month, claiming that the fetus is safe in the womb, and that it must be a son.

The Zhang family doesn't mind at all whether they have a son or a daughter.It's not a wealthy family, and it's not that particular, and it's impossible for Wang Qin to have one baby with such a good body, two or three are not too many, so there will be no shortage of sons or daughters.

However, the doctor judged that it was a boy, and gave the family the direction to prepare the baby's clothes.Those colorful little skirts that Zhang Huiyuan prepared for the girl before were obviously out of fashion.

Zhang Shun should have come back with him.But the business in the store has been booming recently, and as the shopkeeper and owner, he couldn't leave at all.

According to what Zhang Shun said in the letter, there was already a wheelchair shop in Nanyuan Country that was the same as the Zhangjia Woodenware Shop, and it also grabbed a lot of business, but for some reason, starting a few months ago, people from all over the country Purchasers are saying that similar wheelchair businesses in other places have been dealt with miserably by local government offices.This caused many people to look submissively at Zhang Shun, and naturally regarded the cleaning up of the wheelchair industry in various places as the Zhang family's effort behind Zhang Shun's back.

It is not possible for the local yamen in various counties to cooperate so well, ignore the major families and government-run shops, and eat "single food" leisurely and contently. This is not possible with ordinary relationships and strength.

If you are strong, others will respect you more.The same is true in business.

But Zhang Shun knew that he was not strong at all, and he was not capable of letting the local government offices sell him such a big face, just because he had to eat alone.This is all due to the credit of the second brother Zhang Yan.

Zhang Shun wasn't stupid enough.Now that all the places have been raided, the wheelchair business in the land of Nanyuan Kingdom depends entirely on his methods.Increasing production and starting to increase the number of stores were immediately put on his agenda.

Especially those so-called "big men" who always wanted to join in the fun in the past, but now they can't find any of them.

The business is at a critical moment, but Zhang Shun will not be unable to come back even if his wife has a baby.It's still early now, after seven or eight months of pregnancy, he will put down all the things in the store and return to Langyuan City to accompany Wang Qin.

In fact, the few months when Wang Qin was expecting to give birth were also the deadline for Zhang Yan to be busy preparing gifts for Zhang Shun.He had been thinking about letting Zhang Shun welcome the birth of the No.1 generation of the Zhang family with a brand new look.

The one who can help Zhang Yan is his slave, He Xianghong.

He Xianghong's realm had completed the breakthrough in the middle stage of Kaiyuan realm half a month ago.Although for Zhang Yan, there is no need to take a second look at the cultivation base in the middle stage of Kaiyuan Realm, but for He Xianghong himself, it is a great surprise and encouragement.

And the metal arm that Zhang Yan prepared for He Xianghong has now been modified seven times after it was finalized.He Xianghong felt the most deeply.Now he can not only use this metal arm to complete almost all normal double-arm or single-arm movements, but also use the metal arm to perform simple combat skills.

What surprised and surprised He Xianghong the most was that this metal arm could not only listen to his command, but also convey the long-lost sense of touch to him.Although it is not sharp enough now, there are already signs of "tactile sense".

Is this still metal?I also understand why Zhang Yan has been calling this thing a "limb".Limbs, how can the word "limbs" be used for something that is unconscious?

The gradual completion of He Xianghong's metal arm made Zhang Yan's progress in refining weapons and formations extremely fast.Strictly speaking, especially in the arrangement of formations, this metal arm helped him a lot.The Twelve Heavenly Gang Formation he arranged before was also a method he dared to use only after the formation was successful.

It can be said that it seems that a limb has been pondered over, but in fact it has brought great progress to Zhang Yan.

Finally, the detail that Zhang Yan cares about the most is "feeling feedback".This is an aspect that needs to be estimated only for high-grade limbs.But Zhang Yan was determined to get this ability out.Otherwise, how could he be worthy of the word "new student" he mentioned in his reply to Zhang Shun?

It is not only the Zhang family that will attract new life, but Zhang Shun will also get rid of the incomplete life that has been imprisoned for many years, and he will be born again.

Of course, for a slave like He Xianghong, being able to become a test product for Zhang Yan's limb refining is also a kind of good luck for him to gain a new life.

Chapter 315

The layout of the new house is obviously different from that of the previous main room.The range of activities of the family members is basically in the backyard, and the rest of the gate, including the main room, is regarded as a place for receiving guests.In this way, it is not necessary for the family members to avoid going into the house every time when there are visitors.

Correspondingly, the number of servants in the family has also increased, and there are six more people inside and outside.This is because Wang Qin has not yet given birth to a child. When the child is born, it is estimated that more people will have to be added.

But when Zhang Yan was busy dealing with the last critical difficulty, someone came to his door.The person who came was Zhang Yan's acquaintance, Shen Wujiu.Walking with Shen Wujiu was an old man with a stooped figure.

"Master Shen is not busy in Lianshan City, how can he have time to come to me?" Zhang Yan was slightly surprised when he saw Shen Wujiu.It stands to reason that Shen Wujiu should be sitting in Lianshan City at this time, and may even go to the valley where the dead road sealed by Zhang Yan is located to deal with the control matters.It is really unreasonable to appear in Langyuan City.

But when Zhang Yan sensed the aura of the black-robed old man following behind Shen Wujiu, he guessed a general idea in his heart.The old man was exactly the same as the masked old man he had fought against when he was "attacked" in Yuanding Imperial City.Even the other party didn't cover up this aspect, which was very tacit.

It was not easy to ask outside the door, so Zhang Yan greeted Shen Wujiu after a few greetings.

"Huh?" But just as he was seated in the main room, He Xianghong served tea, but was scrutinized by Shen Wujiu.

"Mr. Zhang, if I remember correctly, this slave used to have one arm, but now he looks healthy? What is his hand?"

"Fake. Although the slave is humble, it is also related to the Zhang family's face, so I spent some time installing a prosthetic for him, and now I can barely use it."

"Fake, prosthetics?!" It's not that Shen Wujiu has never seen prosthetics. Many disabled people in the army sometimes wear wooden prosthetics, but they all look like they can't move, but the slave gave him a prosthesis just now. When serving tea, that arm is very lively!Even if it wasn't for the glove on the palm and the knowledge that the other party's arm was broken before, otherwise the abnormality would not have been discovered.How did that work?

But before the extremely curious Shen Wujiu continued to ask questions, the old man sitting next to him had already coughed softly a few times, reminding Shen Wujiu to get down to business first, so he pulled back Shen Wujiu's words, and quickly told Zhang Yan made a recommendation.

"Mr. Zhang, this is the special investigation supervisor from the palace, Wu Kui, Wu Guanshi. Our special case department is under the control of Wu Guanshi." Shen Wujiu hurried over from Lianshan City this time. Just to do this.Wu Kui's arrival startled him a lot.

You must know that Wu Kui is not only the head of the special case department, but also the emperor's personal eunuch. Normally, he would never leave the palace at all, and all matters were uploaded and issued by the people under his command.Anyway, Shen Wujiu had worked in the Special Case Department for so many years, but this was the first time he heard that Wu Kui had left the imperial city.

"Mr. Zhang, Wu Kui took the liberty to come to visit. Please also invite Mr. Haihan. It is really that Mr.'s previous feat in Lianshan City was too amazing and too important, so I had to come here in such a hurry." Wu Kui said, then A high-pitched voice unique to eunuchs came out.

"Hehe, Guanshi Wu is too polite. He came all the way here, and Zhang Yan didn't treat him well, but he feels that he is very familiar with Guanshi Wu. It seems that he has met him somewhere, so naturally there will be no distinction. If there is something wrong, Guanshi Wu can open up. Say it." Zhang Yan followed Shen Wujiu's words and called Wu Kui "manager" instead of "adult".After all, eunuchs have no formal official positions and are not on the official roster. No matter how powerful they are, they can't afford the word "adult".

Knowing that Zhang Yan recognized him, Wu Kui also had this intention, Kai Cheng announced it, this is a necessary precondition for talking about business.So he smiled and said, "What Mr. Zhang said is even true. I also feel that I am familiar with Mr. as if I have met him. Maybe it is fate."

"Hahaha, it is indeed fate."

"Since we are so close to Mr. Wu, then I will speak directly. What I have done here is the place Mr. Zhang sealed off in the mountains outside Lianshan City. Firstly, it is to bring His Majesty's reward. I would like to thank you for your good deeds. Secondly, I would like to ask you, is the closed method only applicable to one place, or can it be copied to other places?"

There was no foreshadowing, and Wu Kui also knew that since Zhang Yan and him "revealed" each other's identities, they wanted to get straight to the point.Naturally, he wouldn't hide it.

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "I actually told Mr. Shen before that the Dead Silence Road in the direction of Lianshan City cannot be said to be sealed. It just added some defensive measures. Although the Twelve Heavenly Gang Formation is not weak, it is not. The copper wall and iron wall are indestructible, once the force protruding from the dead silence path exceeds the range of the large formation, or the twelve foundations of the large formation are destroyed, then there will be no blockade."

To put it bluntly, the Twelve Heavenly Gang Formation itself is not a great formation.For those big ghost kings in Huangquan, Zhang Yan really didn't think he could guard against them.

Of course, Zhang Yan was already very clear about Nanyuan Kingdom's thoughts at this time.The Dead Silence Road in the direction of Lianshan City was temporarily blocked, and the chain effect brought about by this was absolutely immediate.The whole Beijiang County will taste the sweetness.This will certainly lead to related conjectures and expectations.Otherwise, why would Wu Kui make the trip himself?

"Mr. Zhang is right. There is no absolute thing in the world. It is the first time in the history of the human race that the path of death and silence can be temporarily blocked. Mr. Zhang's move will surely leave a name in history and be remembered by future generations. Even those Those who saved their lives because of Mr.'s kind deeds are worthy of giving Mr. a long-lived blessing!"

Although the words are correct, Wu Kui is obviously giving Zhang Yan a high hat by saying this now.Make a necessary foreshadowing for your next words.

"Mr. Zhang, Nanyuan Kingdom is in dire straits now, and there are monster races raging in the southwest. It can be said that the situation is full of ice and snow. It was the same in Beijiang County, but now most of the difficulties have been thrown away because of Mr. Zhang's kind deeds. Therefore, Your Majesty I am very pleasantly surprised, and I hope that Mr. Zhang can use other miraculous means to help Nanyuan Kingdom in a crisis. The whole Nanyuan Kingdom will be grateful! I am willing to reward Mr. for your help with what Mr. thinks."

Wu Kui mentioned the emperor, and used the phrase "a helping hand", and even left the remuneration to Zhang Yan himself.It is clear that I hope Zhang Yanshi will speak up, as long as he can help with this, everything will be fine.

"Oh? So Manager Wu has already mastered all the entrances and exits of the Dead Silence Road in Nanyuan Kingdom?"

Chapter 316 No Desire

When he left Zhang Yan's mansion, Wu Kui was still in a state of disbelief. The "difficulties" and "troubles" he thought he had discussed with the emperor in the emperor's study did not appear at all, and it went so smoothly that it was unbelievable.

As for the other four dead roads in Nanyuan Kingdom, Zhang Yan simply agreed to help block them. Although he didn't say that all four were blocked, he directly agreed to three, which is already compared to Wu Kui before The most optimistic situation would be even better. He originally thought that it would be good if Zhang Yan agreed to seal two more dead paths.

Even such an optimistic result did not make Zhang Yan do anything like a lion. His only request was to choose a suitable mountain forest as the official place to start the mountain if he had the opportunity.Put the words here for the time being, and don't mention any of the rest of the requirements.

Although it is impossible for Nanyuan Kingdom to really not reward anything, on the contrary they will actively give something, but compared to Zhang Yan asking for it, he is already able to control the width independently.

But why?

Why did Zhang Yan behave so cooperatively and without any desire?

Of course, it doesn't mean that all of Wu Kui's ideas today have been agreed by Zhang Yan.The smoothest thing is about the Dead Silence Dao, Zhang Yan agreed to seal three of the remaining four places.But things about Yunqueshuo didn't go well, and Zhang Yan directly rejected him as soon as he opened his mouth.It is said that there is only one flying artifact like the Skylark Shuttle, and Zhang Yan has no way to refine it for the time being.

temporary?It does leave some hope for Wu Kui.

"Has Zhang Yan always been like this?" Wu Kui couldn't figure it out, and Shen Wujiu was also the person who got along with Zhang Yan the most, so he couldn't help asking.

"What does the steward mean?"

"Always so easy to talk to?"

Shen Wujiu thought carefully about the scenes since he and Zhang Yan got acquainted, so he nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang has always been like this. He is kind and willing to help with anything."

But Wu Kui nodded and shook his head again.

Wu Kui didn't think Shen Wujiu's words were false.Not only Shen Wujiu, Wu Kui also deliberately learned about Zhang Yan from the words of many people.Such as Zhou Cang, such as Shi Xuan and Xiao Shu, and Princess Qingling.These people have come into contact with Zhang Yan much more times than Shen Wujiu, and they all come to the same conclusion as Shen Wujiu, saying that Zhang Yan is a kinder and talkative person.

Even if it hadn't happened that Zhang Yan beheaded two people at the auction in order to auction a big weapon, Zhang Yan would appear more gentle to these people's senses, the kind that would not have burrs at all.

But Wu Kui didn't think these views about Zhang Yan were accurate.

Is Zhang Yan a kind person?Obviously not quite.A kind person would simply kill two strangers with whom he had no direct grievances?And make it into a bloody scene that is obviously intended to shock?Moreover, the death of Wu Yuan, the former city guard officer of Langyuan City, and his only son Wu Qingling, although there is no real evidence, is very likely that Zhang Yan murdered them secretly.It's just that Wu Yuan is not clean, and he is a saint of the Spirit Race, so this matter was suppressed in the end.

This reminded Wu Kui that most of the eunuchs in the palace, including himself, were actually similar to the kindness shown by Zhang Yan.They all look kind.

But it's easy to talk, so I have to think about it separately.

Wu Kui had thought about this aspect of Zhang Yan when Huayue Kingdom denied and refused to marry the princess.At that time, Huayue Kingdom made a backhand of "Crossing Three Passes" to attack Nanyuan. The emperor invited Zhang Yan to help him, but what Zhang Yan asked for at that time was the sole right to purchase some longevity stones.

In Wu Kui's opinion, this is simply a fart!It's not worth mentioning compared to Zhang Yan's contribution to helping Nanyuan Nation, right?purchase?Putting those longevity stones directly into Zhang Yan's pocket is almost enough to reward him for his great achievements.

In the end, although the emperor did not add other rewards to Zhang Yan, he also gave some compensation from other aspects.For example, the Zhang family's woodware shop, from now on, only the Zhang family can operate in Nanyuan country, and no one else, no matter who they are, is not allowed to touch it.

After that, among other things, he said that Zhang Yan helped to block the dead road in Beijiang County, and he didn't ask for anything.Almost for nothing.

This time Wu Kui was prepared to bleed heavily, but found that Zhang Yan just said "a suitable place to start the mountain".Doesn't this mean that she is ready to help in vain again?

A person may really be kind and kind, but it is absolutely impossible to do everything without asking for rewards, and to like to work in vain.

If you really want to be helpful, why are Zhang Yan's powerful weapons getting more and more expensive?Don't sell it at a fair price?Even a fire sale?

It can only be said that perhaps what Zhang Yan values ​​is not what others understand or care about.Just like the Longevity Stone.In the eyes of ordinary people, they are just some stones that can be used to decorate ornaments. They are valuable goods, but there is no need to hoard them in large quantities.And Zhang Yan did this, so naturally it wasn't because he was crazy, but because he had a reason for doing so.Including the emperor, they also hoarded some longevity stones.But besides Zhang Yan, who knows that there are other uses for that thing?

Wu Kui was even thinking about it.What Zhang Yan is looking for is not money or power, he seems to be planning for his own strength all the way.Can it be reversed, including the Longevity Stone, Zhang Yanlao's benefits are actually enhancing his strength?
