Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 292: A Little Hint
"Great Master Liu, it seems that you have a very deep view of the situation in the Long Empire. I'm really curious about the response that the Liu family will take."
Xiao Nie deliberately tested Liu Bei to tell his plan. But Liu Bei immediately knew the meaning of the sentence. "Patriarch Xiao, even though the Saturn branch has already stood in several places in the Long Empire, but our foundation there is still very weak. There's nothing we can do but try to limit ourselves from this matter."
Xiao Nie no longer asked. Zhang Long was silent, while Zhang Yu was still paying attention to the chart on the table.
"Zhang Yu, it looks like you have some questions," Liu Bei said.
Zhang Yu immediately raised his face, turning the paper on the table so that the part in front of him moved to Liu Bei's side. "Uncle, you put one other name among the five descendants of Fang Shuai. You even gave him a red circle sign. What does that mean?" zhang Yu's hand.
Xiao Nie and Zhang Long also turned to pay attention to the name.
"Oh yes, right. Why is there a red circle on it?" xiao Nie asked, only realizing it.
Liu Bei frowned. He stroked his chin then took out a few scrolls from his storage ring. "I completely forgot about it. Xiang He, if it's not wrong we've been trying to gather information about him but the results aren't very satisfactory."
After searching from several scrolls, Liu Bei pushed two scrolls which both had blue ribbons.
"According to the information we got, Xiang He is Fang Shuai's adopted son who was raised since infancy. Yet he had already left the Long imperial region even before the eternal war took place. Until now there was no news whether it was about him or his descendants."
"..."
"We are still conducting further investigations into the situation. We hope to uncover what the real reason they acted so boldly in the Long Empire is. Moreover, the empire should not be silent considering that this would have a huge impact in the balance."
After speaking at length, Liu Bei and Xuan Wu left the domain of the Xiao Clan at night. They did not wait any longer to continue their journey to the Long Empire.
Zhang Yu returned to his residence. He saw the son in the living room with his grandmother, while the wife was busy in the kitchen.
"Zhang Yu, you're home in time. Your wife has already cooked dinner for us," Xiao Mei stood up as she led Zhang Chao to the dinner table.
"Dad, today's mom cooks meat. The smell is so good, Chao'er can't wait to taste it."
"really? Looks like I haven't tasted your mother's meat for long." Zhang Yu glanced towards the dining table, "Usually he only cooks vegetables," Zhang Yu muttered softly.
"What if I only cook vegetables? Not delicious?"
Zhang Yu's back was sweating realizing his wife was already standing behind him. Slowly she turned around, "Te-of course it's delicious. How could it not be nice if I always spent it without any leftovers," Zhang Yu replied as he avoided Xuan Yin's gaze.
Zhang Yu walked towards the dining table, he immediately sat there even though the wife was still staring at him sharply.
Nah!
The sound of a plate being placed with half a throw. "Because Yu Gege said he liked vegetables so much, then tonight all vegetables for Yu Gege."
Xuan Yin said in a soft voice. His look also looks friendly. But even so Zhang Yu who was sitting right next to him actually died a flea and did not dare to speak.
"..."
"Why not eat? Not delicious?" asked Xuan Yin, cynical.
"Mother, this meat is too much. What about Dad?" Zhang Chao picked up the meat with chopsticks then should give it to Zhang Yu. But before that happened, Xian Yin held back her hand.
"Your father prefers to eat vegetables. He doesn't want to eat anything but vegetables for today."
"Is that really Dad?" ask Zhang Chao.
Although his saliva had already dripped, Zhang Yu could not say no to his son's question either. Especially with the gaze of the wife who is still trying to intimidate him.
"Haha ... Chao'er spend it. Meat is very good for your growth. It's true after all, Mom, I'd rather eat vegetables."
Zhang Chao. The little boy immediately fixed his sitting position and refocused on his food.
Xiao Mei and Zhang Long looked at each other. A second later they sighed to see the quarrel of the child and daughter-in-law that happened just because of the dinner menu.
"May'er, if I remember, you were like that too." Zhang Long laughed softly after whispering. Xiao Mei frowned and put on a grim face.
"No. I don't remember it. Don't make up," Xiao Mei replied as she showed a stern glance at her eyes.
"What am I making up. I still remember clearly. You were pregnant then, you wouldn't even let me have dinner just because I didn't come home in time after visiting a neighboring clan."
Hem...
Xiao Mei snorted. He put down his tableware and looked at Zhang Long annoyed. "Are you really going to talk about it now? You seem to be really trying to make trouble."
After which Xiao Mei stood up from her seat. "You father and son are the same, very good at ruining the atmosphere" he said.
"Mother?" Xuan Yin who saw Xiao Mei leave the dining table immediately caught up with her. Not forgetting before moving away he glanced at Zhang Yu who had not even spoken since the last time he said his sentence.
"What's wrong with your mom? Though it was just a joke," Zhang Long said. He tried to call Xiao Mei back, but it seemed that the wife had already entered his room.
"Dad, you really ruined the atmosphere" Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Long sat back in his place. His forehead shriveled at Zhang Yu's words. "Why is it Dad's fault? Aren't you the cause? You offended your wife who had to work hard to cook dinner. You're the one who ruined the mood."
"Just boy. It's all still here until I'm mad at you, Dad. Obviously this all happened because of you."
"Curtain! I'd rather go persuade your mother than listen to you here." Zhang Long is gone. At the dining table only Zhang Yu and Zhang Chao remained who did not even understand the situation.
Zhang Chao slowly raised his round face to Zhang Yu. "Dad, why did mom, grandpa and grandma leave? Did they not have dinner?"
Zhang Yu smiled before moving onto Xuan Yin's chair which was right beside Zhang Chao. "Chao'er doesn't need to take care of anything else. Now eat a lot to quickly grow strong."
Heem...
Chao'er nodded. "Dad too." He gave the piece of meat on his plate to Zhang Yu.
"Father should also taste the mother's homemade meat soup. It's so delicious."
Zhang Yu momentarily remained silent, then opened his mouth as Zhang Chao fed him with pieces of meat.
"It has. Dad already felt it. Indeed delicious. Now Chao'er quickly finished his meal and went to sleep because it was already night." Zhang Yu stroked the top of his son's head. After Zhang Chao was completely full, Zhang Yu escorted him back to his room and arranged a blanket for him.
While going to the front yard, Zhang Yu looked at Long Shen who was together with Sun. Zhang Yu approached them and sat there.
"You seem to have a serious problem" Long Shen said.
Zhang Yu took out the information he had copied from Liu Bei's scroll. "You remember the Spirit Palace? Looks like they're getting up again."
Whahuh?
"Whatchu mean? Didn't you exterminate them?"
"Yes. But I don't seem to really crush them all the way to the roots. Now they re-emerged and made trouble in the Long Empire under the name of the eradication group."
"Is this the problem you're talking about?" Long Shen stood up and looked at the paper in Zhang Yu's hands. When he saw Fang Shuai's name at the very top, his eyes definitely narrowed.
"Fang Shuai?"
