Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 268
After that day, Zhang Yu really did not have the time to relax. He focused on making even high-class middle-class weapons for every person in the clan.
Not only that, Zhang Yu also had the task of creating a cultivation room for the sake of boosting the average strength level of the clan members.
Both tasks are not easy. Yet who would have thought that Zhang Yu would have the ability to complete it within two months.
During this time Zhang Yu created hundreds of middle class and high-end weapons. He also turned the inoperable dungeon room into a cultivation room by utilizing lightning seeds as his energy resource.
Now Zhang Yu was inspecting every room and making sure all five of them were functioning as expected.
"Zhang Yu, how's it going?" Zhang Lei came with the sixth elder, Zhang Zhou. The two looked around the room that looked completely different from the original and felt a dense fluctuation of energy within it.
"Patriarch can see for himself. The five rooms are ready to be used."
Zhang Lei walked into one of the rooms. His attention could not be separated from the lightning seeds in one corner of the room. He smiled because he was happy. "Zhang Yu, you've really made a big change. What you're doing is so much better than I've been doing for decades."
Deep in Zhang Lei's heart was embarrassed. However, on the other hand he was also proud that there was one among the descendants of the Zhang clan who grew into an extraordinary figure.
When he thought back to how the entire clan, including himself had once underestimated Zhang Yu for not being able to cultivate, Zhang Lei felt so bad. It was fortunate that Zhang Yu did not hold a grudge, and even did all of this for the sake of the clan's advancement.
"Patriark, inside this ring is a weapon I've made. I'm handing it all over to you to share with the rest of the clan."
Zhang Yu handed him one of his storage rings. When Zhang Lei saw the contents inside, his mouth opened and his eyes were perfectly rounded.
Zhang Lei had indeed heard that Zhang Yu was going to make a weapon. But I don't think it will reach that much.
"Ba-good. I'll make sure every clan member gets a share."
Zhang Yu had nothing else to discuss, he said goodbye to his residence.
Two months was not a very long time for a cultivator like him who could even endure many years just to cultivate. But for two months just being in the basement and working continuously undeniably makes it a little lethargic. Zhang Yu wanted to rest his body and look at his wife and son.
But upon arriving at the residence, Zhang Yu saw several palace warriors standing before the archway which made him instantly link his two eyebrows together.
"Who's coming?" muttered Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu entered the courtyard. At that moment he saw Zhang Chao who was playing with a young lady.
"Isn't she the prime minister's daughter mixing poison at a party in the palace?" Long Shen still remembered quite clearly Song Ya's face.
While Zhang Yu only remembered it when Long Shen said it.
"But why is he here? Could he be ...."
"He came with the first prince." Zhang Yu cut in before Long Shen finished his sentence. He pointed towards a eunuch that he knew was the eunuch of the crown prince who was now standing beside the door of his residence.
"Dad!"
Zhang Chao who was running suddenly changed the direction of his running when he saw Zhang Yu's arrival. She stepped on her cute little legs and almost tripped. But his spirit did not decrease in the slightest to continue to step into the place of the father.
Zhang Yu caught his little son leaping into his arms. It wasn't enough to get there, Zhang Yu smelled at Zhang Chao's nape which made him giggle.
"Who's fat? That's called healthy." Xuan Yin walked over from within directly correcting her husband's sentence. He fused his eyebrows together and murmured furiously from not accepting Zhang Yu's words calling himself too indulgent for his son.
Zhang Yu smiled bitterly. He just said it spontaneously. But the Xuan Yin who was inside suddenly came out and heard him.
His wife really did not want to hear anything bad about her son.
"By the way, what business did the first prince come to? Is there something?"
Xuan Yin frowned and gradually stared at the eunuch who was still in place. "News of the arrival of foreign enemies had already spread throughout the entire Xuan Empire. That's why the first brother came to intend to discuss the matter with the Patriarch."
"Don't the patriarch just go to the basement? The patriarch didn't tell you?" asked Xuan Yin.
"No. The patriarch did not discuss that one bit." Zhang Yu lowered Zhang Chao, then took his hand as he walked into the residence.
At that moment Xuan Yang, the first prince was having a serious talk with Zhang Long and Xiao Mei. At first glance Zhang Yu heard about the construction of a fortress like the one in Nuli City.
" ... With the presence of a barrier as well as a fortress, it will strengthen the defense when enemies from outside the Xuan Empire attack," Xuan Yang said after explaining his plan.
Zhang Yu who saw Xuan Yang had finished talking immediately approached them. "That's not a bad idea. But to build a sturdy fortress requires someone who is an expert. While in Qian Gu City did not have it."
"Just calm. The emperor's father had already prepared experts and they would arrive at Qian Gu City no later than three days from now." Xuan Yang also told that other groups would come together to add more defensive power in the coastal region.
Zhang Yu nodded his head. "That's what I meant. If all is prepared, the construction of the fort will be carried out soon."
"Song Yes, call the eunuch Nou." Xuan Yang gave an order to Song Ya. The girl who was standing behind Zhang Yu immediately left from there.
Zhang Yu only glanced at him in surprise. He was a little confused by the situation in this room right now.
As if knowing the confusion from Zhang Yu's face, Xuan Yang immediately explained. "Since the feast of that time he kept coming to the palace and hoped to receive punishment. The emperor's father did not give him any punishment, but he instead stood before the gate seven days and seven nights. I can only help by making her my servant. Once his guilt wanes, he can leave whenever he wants."
Oh...
Zhang Yu was bearded. But Xuan Yin could not help but laugh when he heard that story. He said, "First brother, I know you very well. You can't do all this just out of pity, right?"
Xuan Yang who was downing his tea instantly healed him.
Uhuk...
"W-what do you mean. Of course I did it just because of that. There's no way I'd have any other thoughts. He is much younger than me" he argued stammeringly.
Xuan Yin clucked. "Ck ... Even Chao'er understood that his uncle was lying. You're not really good at covering things up."
Brak!
Xuan Yang stood up from his seat. He cleared his throat then looked towards the door uneasily. "Why didn't the Nou Eunuch come too? I think I should go find him myself."
After saying that he really left the room. Stepping fast enough was like being afraid to hear more words from her youngest sister.
