Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 226: The Gong Family
Zhang Yu went to the second floor to see if there were still any red moon tavern members left. And it's really over. There was not a single person left except the two of them.
In one of the rooms Zhang Yu found a scroll similar to the one he had found before. The scroll contained an organizational structure that this time was written more clearly than ever.
"The Red Moon Shop is under the rule of the Devil's Tower" Xiao Nie said.
"I know," Zhang Yu said as he took out the canvas scroll he had stored in the storage ring.
Xiao Nie laughed. "Haha ... Sure oes. You've already exterminated the Sea Horse Bandit, must have found the same scroll there."
"But Grandpa, according to some news I've heard of the Devil's Tower this mysterious and hidden group. No one knows their power."
"No need to worry about them. In the Dragon Continent there is a kind of unwritten rule that makes the Demon Tower will not be able to do anything to us. The seven great powers could not carelessly start a showdown with each other. It was also the reason why the Gong Family could not act directly to attack the Red Moon Shop and have Grandpa do it."
Zhang Yu had only really heard of this. If there really was such a rule, wouldn't this be too restrictive and complicated? But Zhang Yu did not say this rule was bad because with the rule now he did not have to worry about the Demon Tower.
"Grandfather, where are we going after this?" ask Zhang Yu.
Xiao Nie stroked his chin and looked straight ahead. "Grandfather had already asked the Gong Family Head for help to find a way away from the Dragon Continent. Maybe we should go to Jinan City, to the Gong Family territory."
Zhang Yu was silent for a moment before nodding his head. The two of them took as much as they could take then returned to the inn to pick up Song Yixue.
"Are you really going to take her with us?" xiao Nie asked in the middle of the journey.
Song Yixue said she would follow him because she had no family. But would he really leave if he knew he was going to leave the Dragon Continent. However the Dragon Continent was his birthplace.
"I'll ask him first. If he wants to come with me I'll take him."
Xiao Nie sighed. "You're like this is your wife gonna be okay?"
"Of course it's good. The girl will be his second wife. Men have her wife is still quite reasonable. Isn't that right, Zhang Yu?" sahut Long Shen's.
Zhang Yu ignored the remark. Let alone thinking of making Song Yixue his wife, he never even thought of having two wives in his entire life.
He would follow in the footsteps of his father as well as his ancestors in the Zhang Clan who would not have two wives in his life.
...
Three days later.
Due to the situation that was not conducive to the news of the destruction of the Red Moon Shop, Zhang Yu was forced to delay his departure when he went to Jinan City.
Now that the situation of the city was calmer, the three of them along with grandfather and also Song Yixue traveled in the morning. Passing through the desert and across the lake, they had to board a ship to get to their destination.
"Grandfather, are you going straight to your room?" ask Zhang Yu.
Xiao Nie glanced at Song Yixue who was walking towards the front deck, then waved at Zhang Yu. "You go again first. Grandpa, just go later."
"Zhang Yu must have told you. But have you really decided to come with us?" tanyakanya.
Song Yixue spontaneously raised her face looking at Xiao Nie. After a moment of silence he began to nod his head in doubt.
Seeing Xiao Nie's reaction like this made Song Yixue think that his presence was not so favored by him. But apparently not, a second later Xiao Nie smiled at him.
"Don't think too much. In the future, just call grandfather like Zhang Yu," Xiao Nie said before going to his room.
Song Yixue was still staring at Xiao Nie's departure. He really doesn't understand. Though they have no blood ties with, but why is it so good even more than his own relatives.
"Grandfather," Song Yixue muttered with a happy expression. He looked back at the surface of the water without changing the smile on his face. This is the expression of a person who craves family affection. Finally, after a dozen years of living in solitude, there now appears a new light of hope and purpose in his life.
Time passed and the morning changed. At that time the ship had just landed on the dock of Jinan City. The rope is lowered and the stairs are put. Zhang Yu, Xiao Nie and Song Yixue got off following the other passengers. They entered the market area which was quite crowded even though the sky was already dark. Only capitalized torches and lanterns, really do not change the working system of the market as in general.
"Master Xiao Nie?" said a man dressed in waitresses welcoming quite respectfully.
Xiao Nie instantly stopped which of course made Zhang Yu and Song Yixue come to a stop.
"Is this an order from Great Lord Gong?" ask Xiao Nie.
The man's servant nodded. "really. The Great Lord who sent us to pick us up."
It turned out that not only one, but one group even prepared a special horse carriage for him. Xiao Nie really felt noticed.
"Thank you." Xiao Nie thanked him sincerely, then glanced at the two people beside him. "Come on Zhang Yu, Yixue,"
The three of them rode a horse carriage specially arranged by the Gong Family. Xiao Nie rode first, then Song Yixue and Zhang Yu became the last people.
When Zhang Yu had just closed the door of the horse carriage, he felt the expression of the servant who greeted them earlier had just changed.
"Grandfather, are you sure this is a train run by the Gong Family?" ask Zhang Yu.
"Yes. Grandpa was so sure because he recognized this train. Is there a problem?" xiao Nie asked back.
Zhang Yu fused his brows without saying anything. The next second he smiled as he shook his head. "none. Maybe I think too much" he said.
After that the horse carriage drove away from the market area. About two hours later they arrived at the Gong Family's large residence like an imperial palace.
Zhang Yu exhaled after seeing the nameplate of the Gong Family at the main gate. Finally after the entire journey continued to think about his worries, he could be relieved as they had already reached their destination.
"Is Great Lord Gong in his room? We'll go right there." Xiao Nie who was already quite familiar with the Gong Family residence also knew where Gong Zihao's room was located. But just as he stepped up, the servant who had previously welcomed him blocked his steps.
"Sorry Mister Xiao Nie, but right now the Great Lord is still busy. We'll take you to another room."
Zhang Yu looked at the servant who spoke. She was the servant who had previously shown a cynical expression to her. I don't know what he meant, but Zhang Yu felt that there was something strange here.
