Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 257
After destroying the Spirit Palace, Zhang Yu immediately left the Long Empire to return to the Yang Empire. Not to forget Zhang Yu sent a letter to his teacher about the cancellation of the tournament although perhaps that information had also reached the Imperial Academy.
The journey home feels faster. Zhang Yu arrived at the clan and immediately looked for his wife and son whom he longed for.
...
Nine months later.
Right today was the second birthday of little Zhang Chao. But the glories could not be done as they had to go to the Xuan Empire to avoid the wedding invitation.
"Chao'er, see you at the palace, Grandma must miss you" Xiao Mei told her granddaughter.
The wedding between the fifth prince Xuan Wu and Liu Mengqi will take place in a few weeks. As relatives, Xiao Mei and Zhang Long would definitely come. But they set off when it was really close to the wedding day. While Zhang Yu and Xuan Yin were going to leave today due to the request of Zhang Chao's great-grandfather who was there.
"Chao'er, chest to grandpa," Xuan Yin said as she shook her hand for Zhang Chao to also follow her.
The adorable boy sat quietly in his father's sling. Her eyes are round, very adorable. Moreover, his chubby cheeks made everyone get anxious by him.
"Mom, Dad, we're leaving."
After exiting the domain of the Xiao clan, they traveled towards Dou Yan City before boarding a ship towards Heishan City.
The journey was initially very quiet. Zhang Chao was very fond of being at the front of the ship while looking at the expanse of water.
However, this serene atmosphere was suddenly piqued by the extremely noisy group of yellow-clothed people.
Xuan Yin was about to approach them to keep them quiet. But before going any further, Zhang Yu had already walked over to the group while holding Zhang Chao.
"Can't you just shut up?" zhang Yu asked in a low voice.
The group of yellow-clothed people simultaneously raised their faces and looked at Zhang Yu. One of them said, "What's wrong with you? Take care of your own business!"
Zhang Yu looked at them one by one. Then accidentally saw that there was one person in the middle of them wearing different clothes. Clothes that are familiar to him.
"You're from the Yi family of Dou Xi City?"
Feeling that someone recognized him, the man in the middle raised his face. "Truly, I'm from the Yi family. My name is Yi Wei."
The Yi Family had a business relationship with the Xiao Clan. The Xiao clan had some assets in Dou Xi City and was partially taken care of by the Yi family.
Zhang Yu also visited the Yi Family residence several times. His relationship with the head of the Yi family was quite good.
"Hey! What business! Why are you interfering!" snarled the yellow dressed man. Then he pounced Yi Wei and asked her to come back curled up.
Zhang Yu squinted his eyes. Are they robbing? thought.
"You, Yi Wei, come here quickly. Don't squat there." Zhang Yu pulled Yi Wei's hand away. But this yellow-clothed group did not accept.
"Damn! You're too involved!" One man came with clenched hands.
He didn't know who was in front of him. He thought Zhang Yu was just an ordinary passenger of the ship. When he was about to hit, Zhang Yu raised his leg and kicked the man's stomach.
Brak!
The man might have actually fallen off the ship if it wasn't for the barrier.
Zhang Yu smiled sinisterly. He held Zhang Chao's hand and spoke softly to him, "Chao'er, close your eyes first. I'll catch the butterfly."
The little boy closed his eyes. He also puts his hand if closing his eyes is not enough for him.
The yellow-clothed man who had previously spoken now began to fold his sleeves. "You're really looking for trouble with us!"
He charged forward and struck Zhang Yu. But every blow can always be held with only one hand. It didn't even take long for Zhang Yu to make the man fall by kicking his distended stomach.
Seeing one other friend being defeated, the five people who were still standing were now attacking together. But that doesn't change the outcome of the fight. Zhang Yu defeated them easily.
It was not enough to make them lie on the boat, Zhang Yu threw them into the sea.
Of the seven people left one person was on board. But Zhang Yu had already kicked him as well as the other six friends.
"De-listen, I'm from the Ning Family. We are distant relatives of the members of the Xuan Empire. You ...."
The man continued to talk which irritated Zhang Yu. Without wasting much time Zhang Yu also looked at him falling into the sea to catch up with his six friends.
"Whisper!" grunts Zhang Yu.
Yi Wei was very grateful to Zhang Yu. He really did not know what else to do when the Ning family people were moaning and wanted to snatch his things.
Zhang Yu only nodded his head briefly, he walked towards the screen pole then picked up the paper butterfly attached there.
"Chao'er, see what I caught?"
Zhang Chao opened his eyes but did not lower his hand. He peeked out from the slit of his tiny finger and stared at the paper butterfly in his father's hand.
"This butterfly can fly," Zhang Yu said then used his Qinya to blow the paper butterfly flying a few meters.
Zhang Chao laughed and clapped. He seemed to like the paper butterfly.
Zhang Yu returned to Xuan Yin's side, he told his wife about who the group of yellow-clothed people had been before.
Upon learning it came from the Ning family, Xuan Yin briefly opened her mouth in surprise. But then laughed thinking back to how Zhang Yu kicked them down into the river.
"The Ning family is a distant family of third mothers. Those coming to the Xuan Empire would definitely want to attend fifth brother's wedding."
"Are you going to be angry?" zhang Yu asked after Xuan Yin confirmed that the Ning family was indeed a distant relative of the palace family.
"No. I don't know them very well anyway. Besides, what they are is also very embarrassing. They deserve to be thrown off the ship."
Zhang Yu laughed, then complained to his son, "Look at Chao'er, your mother has already rediscovered her true character. Looks like this return trip reawakened the character of the seventh prince."
"So, is that a problem?" kerling Xuan Yin's eyes.
Zhang Yu glanced at a few places before kissing his wife's lips.
"Don't make that expression. I don't want anyone else to see it" he said.
Xuan Yin's facial sharpness instantly turned red. He immediately turned his face back to face forward staring at the surface of the water.
