Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 242: Running Special Missions
Zhang Yu was gathering with Tang Yue and He Jiao, Wu Zetian who was trapped in his own situation the stone alone came with blackened eye circles.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" zhang Yu asked as if it had nothing to do with him at all.
Wu Zetian snorted. "Truly the worst of friends. I should have left you there. Not to thank instead of mock. That's upsetting!"
Zhang Yu could not help but laugh at Wu Zetian's words. But he could not be with them for too long as he had to immediately go to Long Empire to attend the inter-collegiate tournament. He immediately moved out of his place as soon as he finished his meal.
"Are you really going now?" ask He Jiao.
Wu Zetian who didn't even know about this was just staring blankly at Zhang Yu. A second later he said, "You're going again? I really don't understand how you can be so free to go and go back to the academy."
Zhang Yu just chuckled. He said nothing after that and left them.
"He's really too far to reach. Being on the side of people just seems to make me look pathetic." Wu Zetian drank tea at the table. Put the glass down with a smile. "But I'm not giving up. Someday I'll go after him."
"Tang Yue, He Jiao, do you agree with me?" Wu Zetian had just discovered his spirit. But he only realized that two of his friends had left without listening to him.
Brak!
Wu Zetian kicked the table. He left while grumbling furiously. "Excession! You guys make me look more pathetic. It makes you hungry and want to eat as much."
...
On the other side. After traveling for approximately twenty days, Zhang Yu finally reached the Long Empire. Precisely Shin Hua City which became the easternmost region and directly adjacent to the Yang Empire.
Keep in mind, the inter-collegiate tournament will be conducted in Xing Zou City. So Zhang Yu did not linger in the area of Shin Hua City and headed for the capital of the Long Empire which was in the northernmost region.
However, to get there Zhang Yu had to use a ship. Therefore Zhang Yu stopped at the dock to wait for the ship to come.
Who would have thought the ship would come fast enough. It made Zhang Yu unnecessarily waste his time there and immediately boarded the ship.
Zhang Yu went to the front deck while waiting for a full passenger. He saw the surface of the water that was always moving erratically due to the wind. At the same time, he saw a stranger in his memory.
As Zhang Yu was paying more and more attention to him, it seemed like it was really the person he knew.
"What are you doing here?"
The man wearing maroon red clothes was seen frowning. Gradually he turned his face towards Zhang Yu. Once he recognized who was talking to him, the man gulped his saliva violently.
"Young Master! What are you doing here."
Zhang Yu did not think Duan Jian still called him that way. He raised his eyebrows and made Duan Jian nervous.
"Young Master, ever since you recommended me to the Saturn Trade Group, I am now the deputy head of the recently opened branch in Xing Zou City."
Saturn opens branches?
Zhang Yu did not follow this development so closely. So don't know if Saturn just opened a branch in the Long Empire. Admittedly, the Liu family's ability to run a business was truly a role model.
"Young Master, are you willing to stop by the branch store? I'll make sure you won't regret it after you leave."
"I will think about it," Zhang Yu said.
Along with that the passenger ship was full so the beginning of the ship immediately unfurled the sail and began the journey.
It would take at least five to six hours to arrive at Xing Zou city. Zhang Yu decided to rent a room and enjoy his time there.
Zhang Yu thought he would be able to truly enjoy his time. But not yet he closed his eyes, the ship suddenly stopped followed by a loud bang.
Blam it!
"Annoxious! We met bandits. They really think they can be the ruler of these waters because they have a bigger ship" said Duan Jian who grumbled as he stared at the bandit ship that was intercepting their ship.
Zhang Yu at the side only glanced at Duan Jian with a complicated gaze.
The former bandit could now say so blatantly. Does he not feel that his words are exaggerated?
As if understanding with Zhang Yu's glance, Duan Jian instantly closed his mouth and laughed awkwardly. "Hehe ... Young Master, it is the past. I've been converted, and over time I've realized that bandit groups are actually very annoying."
"Let me face them, me ...." Before Duan Jian finished his sentence, a silhouette of shadow flashed from behind then onto the bandit group ship while swinging his greatsword.
Blam it!
With a loud bang the bandit group ship exploded and caught fire. However, it did not make the bandits give up. Those who numbered fifteen immediately surrounded the figure of the white-clothed man who had destroyed their ship.
Damn for that white-clothed man because the bandit leader was at the heavenly level. The old man who was the grandfather of the white-clothed man immediately exclaimed asking the grandson back when he realized the strength of the bandit leader.
"Lou Xian! Hurry back! He's not your opponent!" yelled the grandfather.
Had the warning been given a moment earlier, perhaps the man named Lou Xian would not have been trapped there. But now, it was impossible to leave without fighting in the state of a besieging bandit group.
"I can only face half of them. I can't escape if the bandit leader fights."
When Lou Xian was thinking, suddenly a single silhouette of slash struck the bandit leader.
Blam it!
The attack was so fast that no one reacted including the bandit leader. At one time, the leader of the bandits who fell into the lake was found floating exactly three meters in his original place.
Everyone was shocked Lou Xian was no exception. But the man was able to immediately control himself then kill the remaining dozens of bandits.
The fight was won by a passenger ship.
It remains a mystery who issued the attack. But some people and Lou Xian suspected it was the figure of a black-robed man who had a monkey on his shoulder.
Even when returning to the ship, Lou Xian's gaze was only on Zhang Yu. "I know it's you," Maybe that's what her gaze meant.
"Young Master, that's incredible. How'd you do it?" duan Jian asked as they were on their way back to the room.
"Young Master, make me your disciple" Duan Jian said again as he followed Zhang Yu. But Zhang Yu was really lazy to serve him.
Only after arriving at the front door of the room did Duan Jian no longer follow Zhang Yu who went inside. Of course he did not dare, as Zhang Yu told him he would throw him into the lake if it continued to be noisy and bother him.
Duan Jian could only sigh. Inevitably he also returned to the room that was not so far from Zhang Yu's place. But when it was about to enter, the white-clothed man who had defeated the bandits before, had come looking for it.
"Wait on! I see you always with that guy. Can you tell me her name?" ask Lou Xian.
Duan Jian stared from top to bottom then narrowed his eyes. "What business is it? Why are you asking about Young Master?"
"Oh, so he's a descendant of a noble family? Is he from the capital?" ask Lou Xian.
Duan Jian thought for a moment then smiled meaningfully. "You asked the Young Master's name right?"
Lou Xian nodded. "Right, what's his name?"
"His name is Yu Zhang."
Lou Xian looked doubtful upon hearing the answer. But he left without saying anything after getting what he wanted.
Duan Jian laughed. "Want to get the Young Master's information from me? You have to be smart enough to do it."
