Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 192: Reunited With Duan Jian
Time has passed again. Today was exactly one month since his imperial entourage left the residence of the Zhang Clan.
During that time Zhang Yu helped build the clan, specialized in managing abandoned mines. Although the results are not as much as the first years since it was discovered, but at least with the existence of this resource mine can be the main supply of clan resources.
Moreover, now the Zhang Clan did not need to share the results with the He Family. So the mine completely belonged to the Zhang Clan. That was because the agreement between the two parties was only valid for five years. Even the people of the He family had already not come one month before the attacks of the Spirit Palace people.
"Zhang Yu, your father said you were leaving. Is that true?" Xiao Mei entered Zhang Yu's room and directly interrogated her lying son.
"really. I'm gonna go,"
Xiao Mei's face grew worse and worse upon hearing Zhang Yu's words. "Where?" tanyakanya.
"I'm going to go pick up your daughter-in-law, Mom. Are you still gonna keep me here?" Zhang Yu got up from his position then looked at Xiao Mei while raising his eyebrows.
"Pick up Yin'er? If so quickly go and bring Yin'er back."
Seeing his mother's changing demeanor so closely made Zhang Yu cluck softly. It was obvious that he wanted to hold back his departure. But when the talk was about to go pick Xuan Yin up, her mother did not even blink when she asked her to leave.
Haiyan...
Zhang Yu sighed after watching his mother leave. He glanced at Sun who was in the corner of the room and was still in his long sleep.
"It looks like I can only leave it here," Zhang Yu said. But not even a dry mouth after speaking, Sun's small body emitted a golden light.
Uh...
"Will he finish?" Zhang Yu waited. Her eyes could not be separated from the feathers on Sun's tiny body which suddenly turned a dark gray color.
At the same time his aura of power increased. From what was originally only a master level now his aura of strength was even higher than the grand master level.
"As Long Shen said. After the process of evolution the Sun's power will increase significantly." Zhang Yu nodded enthusiastically at Sun's development.
Cit... Cit..
Sun woke up from his sleep. For a while he was still confused as if he was still observing the circumstances around. But as soon as he saw Zhang Yu was nearby, Sun immediately jumped onto his shoulders.
The cit!
"It looks like your body contains ice power," Zhang Yu said as he felt Sun's body filled with cold energy.
The little monkey understood what Zhang Yu said. Thinking it was a compliment he pulled Zhang Yu's index finger and placed it on his head.
"It's colder here." Maybe that's what it means if he could talk.
Zhang Yu smiled at a glance then took out a resource crystal for Sun.
Sun's eyes became even more radiant when he saw the food. Without much stale base it immediately devoured his round-round. Very greedy.
"Since you're awake, now come with me to go to the academy." Zhang Yu intended to leave Sun at the residence because he saw it was still in the process of evolution. But maybe he heard his words so he immediately woke up so as not to be left behind.
"What's the matter Dad?" ask Zhang Yu.
But Zhang Long only glanced at Zhang Zhou who was standing beside him. The middle-aged man cleared his throat before sliding his body next to the bed.
"Zhang Yu, I heard from your father you're going back to the Imperial Academy. If you don't mind, please keep Zhang Ying there. He had only passed the admissions test six months ago, and was now still an outer disciple. I'm just worried he's in trouble and doesn't know what to do."
Zhang Yu was stunned to hear the story of the Sixth Elder. After a month or so he had to realize that Zhang Ying had never been seen. It turned out that he had already joined the Imperial Academy.
"Good Sixth Elder. You don't have to worry."
After leaving his father and sixth elder, Zhang Yu sought his mother and aunt for a farewell. Just when it was noon Zhang Yu had just started his journey towards the west.
Almost the same as five years ago. Zhang Yu boarded the ship to head for Heishan City. He occupied the front deck while waiting for the ship to sail.
Just at that time, a red-robed man had just boarded the ship while walking unsteadily pointed out the sword at his waist.
When he walked everyone was scared. No one dared to look him in the eye directly because it recognized who the man was.
He was Duan Jian. The pirates were also the rulers of the western river.
Five years ago he was just a small-time pirate who only had a spooky face. But after his defeat that time made Duan Jian focus on increasing his strength. Now, after five years his name is getting more popular. Especially after he eradicated the immigrant bandits from Heishan City alone so that the western river area was clean from violent acts. But of course he pegs the fare for every cruise he calls a protection fee.
"Every passenger must pay. No pay can't go up!" exclaimed Duan Jian as he pointed his hand at each passenger. No doubt Duan Jian got more benefits even when compared to committing a robbery.
"Hey! Overpayments. Didn't you hear?" Duan Jian tapped his footwear onto the floor of the ship so as to make Zhang Yu raise his face. They stared for some time before Duan Jian started frowning feeling Zhang Yu's face look familiar.
"Wait, have we met?" asked Duan Jian.
Zhang Yu initially did not remember too much about the man before him. But when Duan Jian asked him like that and saw that his appearance had not changed much, Zhang Yu immediately recognized him.
"What are you doing here? Want to swim in the river? Any more?"
Zhang Yu asked casually. But Duan Jian's expression was like seeing terrifying souls flying about.
"You ...." Even his mouth was suddenly confused when he wanted to say something.
Zhang Yu shook his head then sighed. "You're still blackmailing people?"
Zhang Yu's gaze turned sharp as he said his sentence. Duan Jian's eyes suddenly twitched and he quickly hid a few gold coins in his hand.
"No. Of course not. I didn't commit blackmail," Duan Jian denied. He did not know that Zhang Yu had been watching him ever since he boarded the ship. How Duan Jian started to put his hands together until he received the coin given to the passengers of the ship.
"Damn! I was already at the level of a one-star grand master, but why would I be so scared just because he was looking at me?" inner Duan Jian was agitated. He felt an extremely strong aura pressure emanating from Zhang Yu's body as if he was able to swallow it alive. That was what made him not dare to act rashly.
"Now give them back theirs," Zhang Yu said as he glanced at the pouch on Duan Jian's waist.
Instantly Duan Jian complied. He removed the red bag from his pants, then redistributed the gold coins he had obtained earlier.
