Although Zhaoyang village is the place where the people and horses of the Marquis of Zhaoyang Pavilion live together in the area under the jurisdiction of Liquan general manager''s office, Chen Hai''s identity in Liquan and juquanling is special. Even after he handed over juquanling, his residence in Zhongfeng still remains.
Zhang Xiong and Zhang Han left the heavily guarded house and climbed the middle peak of Juquan ridge with Wu Meng.
No one was seen all the way. You can see the smoke rising at the north foot of the mountain, several smelting furnaces are high and large, but the guard is even more strict. There is a large defense array around the periphery, which encircles a small area at the north foot to show that this is the most important place in Lequan.
Climbing the hillside at the middle foot of Juquan ridge, you can see a plum forest under the peak and cliff from a distance. The stream winds out of the plum forest, which is covered by several bamboo houses. Since Zhang Xiong has not been abandoned, even if he is far away, as long as he is not blocked, he can see that Chen Hai in a brown long shirt has a bit more refined temperament in Meilin. He is sitting in front of Shixi, but sharpening a huge halberd with dark blade.
Beside Chen Hai stood a graceful and beautiful beauty. It seemed that he was complaining in a low voice that Chen Haichu returned to Lequan. No one was seen, but he ran to the Shixi to grind halberds for fun.
A spirit sword with purple scale scabbard was placed on the half human high Lake stone. It seemed that a fierce beast was hidden in the scabbard and would come out of the scabbard to eat human flesh and blood at any time.
This is the purple stirrup spirit sword that Zhang Xiong sacrificed for 30 years.
After Zhang Xiong went out of the city and surrendered, xuanbing''s treasure armor and magic weapon spirit sword were naturally handed over, but he didn''t expect to meet the purple stirrup spirit sword that had been used for 30 years here.
Of course, with Chen Hai''s War Merit, ye Qinglin has no excuse to refuse Chen hai to take away the lower level spirit sword.
Zhang Xiong was also filled with emotion when he thought that he had been accompanied by the purple stirrup spirit sword for nearly 30 years after he became a Taoist pill.
As a prisoner, Zhang Xiong is grateful that Chen Hai didn''t embarrass his family and relatives, even if he didn''t have the consciousness of a prisoner. He stepped forward and thought of saying a few words of gratitude. However, he walked up the stream and into Meilin. Zhang Xiong suddenly found that the purple stirrup spirit sword also revealed a skilled breath that shocked his soul.
Chen Hai didn''t erase his spirit breath from the purple stirrup spirit sword and offer it again!
What does he want? He didn''t give up his accomplishments cleanly, and even kept his spirit sword intact. What does Chen Hai want to do? Don''t you know that his strength will more than double when he is integrated with the purple stirrup sword?
Zhang Xiong was stunned for a moment. He couldn''t guess Chen Hai''s intention.
"Hou Zhang is coming..." Chen Hai seemed to have just recovered. He picked up the halberd in his hand, took the halberd tip, picked up the purple stirrup sword and flew over to Zhang Xiong.
Zhang Xiong took the purple stirrup sword in his hand. For a moment, he was at a loss and couldn''t guess Chen Hai''s intention.
"I don''t want to talk nonsense with Hou Zhang. With this purple stirrup sword in his hand, Hou Zhang will be able to defeat me today. From then on, the sky is vast and the sea is free. Zhang''s people are willing to stay in Liquan and settle down, or want to invest in other places, or want to go out of Yanzhou and find another place to lay a new foundation. Neither I nor the Marquis house of Zhaoyang will obstruct it."
Chen Hai put the black halberd across his body, took a step forward slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly and said,
"But if Hou Zhang can''t beat the halberd in my hand today, please put aside other thoughts and rest assured to practice in the mountains and fields; in addition, the Zhang family should also put aside the idea of luxury and pleasure, or join the army as soldiers, or join the workshop as craftsmen, or step into the fields for farming, or go into the mountains and forests for fishing and hunting, so as to experience these ordinary and hard civilian lives here..."
Zhang Xiongru stood stunned on the spot like a stone carving. It seemed that he didn''t hear Chen Hai''s words.
Zhang Han''s heart is surging. He doesn''t care what Chen Hai''s mind is. Whether it''s the previous confrontation between the two armies or accompanying him to qintongshan as a criminal prisoner, he believes that Chen Hai should still be able to keep his promise since he speaks out. At this time, Chen Hai really doesn''t need to play with them in words.
This means that as long as his father defeats Chen Hai, the Zhang family will have the opportunity to rise again. 3000 people may even bypass from the depths of the desert to meet their Uncle Zhang Jun in Tahe oasis.
At that time, the Zhang family will still be the main valve in the eastern region of Jinzhou.
Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Han couldn''t restrain his excitement and looked forward to his father.
Zhang Xiong took over the purple stirrup sword. His veins were exposed, like ancient pine, but his hands trembled slightly. His whole person was like petrification, which made others unaware of the slightest leakage of breath, and naturally could not guess what he was thinking at this time.
Maybe too much time has passed, so long that Zhang Han can''t breathe.
Zhang Xiong sat down dejectedly, put the purple stirrup sword on the stone ground in front of him, and sighed: "Zhang Xiong claims that he has some attainments in kendo, but he can''t rival the young marquis. He has the great momentum of swallowing the clouds of heaven and earth, and Zhang Hongfu admits defeat. The crime of Zhang''s being good at starting the army should be punished. I''ve heard that the young Marquis should deal with it. Farmers, soldiers, hunters, fishermen, craftsmen and weavers deserve it. Zhang Xiong has no complaints."
At this time, it was Zhang Hanhua''s turn to stand there like a stone carving. He wondered how his father admitted defeat without even fighting.
Even if my father has no ambition, he has no intention to lead his people to move west to Tahe Tibetan and Qiang country to lay a new foundation. Even if he stays in Liquan to settle down, my father can defeat Chen Hai and lay a foundation for the Zhang family to gain a foothold in Liquan and win a better future for the Zhang family, rather than struggling at the bottom of Liquan as a sinner.
Moreover, his father admitted defeat. He not only had to keep his promise and be imprisoned in the mountains, but they, Zhang''s children, also had to engage in hard labor such as farming, weaving, fishing and hunting in Liquan.
Zhang Han couldn''t understand why his father thought he had great attainments in kendo. Why didn''t he fight?
Chen Hai looked at Zhang Xiong for a long time and indicated that he could go down the mountain with the purple stirrup sword and make arrangements for Zhang''s children, or what kind of service Zhang''s children want to do in Lequan. He would ask someone to make arrangements in a few days.
Zhang Xiong didn''t say much. He picked up the purple stirrup sword and took his young son Zhang Han down the mountain. However, Zhang Xiong''s shoulders were much straighter when he went down the mountain.
"Zhang''s rebellion is short, but at least he has been king in Pinglu for more than a year. Will Zhang''s children stay in Liquan and be willing to integrate into Liquan as civilian children?" Wu Meng asked with concern after watching Zhang Xiong''s back disappear from the mountain in the pine forest.
Although Zhang''s time in Pinglu was short, he was barely regarded as a royal family, which would lift the morale of Zhang''s children.
Zhang xionggang didn''t want to compete for victory. He must know in his heart that Chen Hai has done everything possible to give him courteous treatment. No matter how high, Chen Hai will be difficult to explain to Ye Qinglin, and too Weizong will be ugly; And those who really have hearts among the Zhang''s children may be able to restrain their temper in a short time, but Wu Meng is still worried that the mediocre children of the Zhang''s clan will become trouble.
Near is not inferior, far is resentment, which is probably the characteristic of all mediocre people.
And the big clan with more than 3000 legitimate children and relatives, often mediocre people account for the majority.
These mediocre people usually don''t reflect on their own guilt.
If Chen Hai really ruthlessly abolishes and imprisons the accomplishments of Zhang Xiong and others, and demotes everyone up and down the Zhang family to slavery, these mediocre people dare not breed resentment. It is precisely in the middle that this road is the most difficult to implement.
Zhang''s family has not been broken up. Zhang Xiong and others still have strong cultivation achievements in Mingqiao territory and even daodan territory, especially in Liquan. At this time, Zhang Xiong''s cultivation level is the highest. Other Zhang''s children, from the status of Prince and grandson with rich clothes and good food, suddenly fall into civilians who can only paste their mouths after hard work. It is easy to breed complaints in their hearts, which becomes an unstable factor.
At this moment, Zhou Jingyuan, Shen Kun, Su Yuan, Zhao Shan and others also boarded Zhongfeng. They also expressed the same concerns as Wu Meng.
Although Chen Hai previously moved the relatives of Cao Feng, Zhou Jun, Wu Meng, Ge Tong and Zhou Jingyuan to juquanling, the foundation of Cao, Zhou, Wu and Ge is too shallow.
Even though the capture of 40000 or 50000 refugee troops has been well integrated with Cao, Zhou and other ethnic groups in the past two or three years, it is difficult for the clan to have a deep foundation before there are really outstanding children rising.
Zhang Xiong''s family merged into juquanling at this time. No matter what Zhang Xiong thinks, it will lead to the dominance of Zhang Xiong''s family in juquanling. Even if Zhang Jun was allowed to move westward in Pinglu oasis, the Zhang clan divided nearly half of their children. At this time, the Zhang clan that moved to juquanling was still a little strong.
In addition to his mid-term cultivation in daodan territory, Zhang Xiong has two of his seven children, one is his second son Zhang Yong, the other is his youngest son Zhang Han, who opened up the sea of knowledge and stepped into Mingqiao territory. This time, his youngest daughter Zhang Lan has the hope to step into Mingqiao territory.
Of Zhang Xiong''s seven disciples, three have entered the stage of Ming Qiao, and the other four have hope to enter the state of Ming Qiao.
The Zhang family, no matter where they are placed, is a strong strength that can not be ignored.
In contrast, not the Jingjue capital protectorate, which is twenty or thirty thousand miles away, the Marquis of Zhaoyang pavilion has only a few strong people in the Mingqiao territory at juquanling, such as Wu Meng, Qi Hanjiang, Su Yuan, Han Jian and Han wendang.
What''s more, juquanling (Liquan) is jointly held by the Marquis house of Zhaoyang Pavilion and the nine families, including Dong and Miao, and the Mojia division, which represents the eight ethnic groups in Beijing County and has influence in Liquan and is not under the nine families, will not really want to see the Zhang family completely and completely integrate into the Marquis house of Zhaoyang Pavilion.
If they do things behind the scenes, things may become very difficult.
Chen Hai smiled: "the nine families are destined to do things, so let them do things -- Zhang family and its affiliated clans, one family in BAISHILING, two in Liquan city and one in miaowangling, let them win over..."
Zhou Jingyuan patted his forehead, shouted that this strategy was wonderful, and said: "The nine clans have ulterior motives. Zhang Xiong''s children and his own disciples are scattered and open to them to win over. Each family of the nine clans may be able to win over one or two people, but in fact no one can win over the whole Zhang family! On the contrary, it will lead to some contradictions among the Zhang family, and eventually they can stay at Juquan mountain and take root..."
