Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 32: Du Xiong's Purpose Actually
"Yu'er, where are you going?"
Zhang Yu stopped hearing his father's voice. The tail of his eyes looked at the bundle of paper in hand then pointed outwards. "I want to go out for a minute, Dad."
"Where's out? We'll be back soon."
Zhang Yu rolled his eyes upwards looking for an excuse. Zhang Long narrowed his eyes feeling something strange. But when it was about to say something, right at that moment the fourth elder who was among the corpses of the Jiang Clan people called out.
"Second Chief, please help me here!"
Ah...
Zhang Long naturally could not ignore the call of the fourth elder.
In the opportunity that came between the narrowness, Zhang Yu waved his hand as he dashed out. "Attent. It won't be long, Dad. I'll catch up when I'm done."
"Yu'er ...."
"Second Chief, come quickly and help me collect these bodies."
Zhang Long had no chance to stop Zhang Yu. He sighed and immediately helped Zhang San collect the corpses of the people of the Jiang Clan.
...
"Uncle fat, where are you?!"
After exiting the gate of the Jiang Clan residence, Zhang Yu walked hundreds of meters into the hilly region. He stood next to the large banyan tree while calling Du Xiong.
It wasn't long before Du Xiong appeared with the twenty He family troops.
"Zhang Yu, I just realized you also have the Zhang surname in your name. Really, if I had known from the start that you were from the Zhang Clan, I wouldn't have given the Jiang Clan soul control tools."
"That's not a problem because this whole thing is over. But what destination did you guys have so that it came to Qian Gu City?"
Zhang Yu's question was too direct. Du Xiong was silent for a while as he looked at the dozens of people behind him.
"Eunuch Du, ...." The looks on their faces were like reminding Du Xiong not to say that.
However, Du Xiong had his own considerations. The fat old man took out a scroll from behind his clothes and handed it to Zhang Yu.
When Zhang Yu looked at the contents inside, his breath choked in disbelief. "Uncle Fat, is this true?"
"It can't be fake. That resource mine really exists."
Zhang Yu once again looked at the map and delved into it carefully. The more he noticed the more he realized that the mine that he said produced these resource crystals was in the Zhang Clan's territory. But how could no one know of its existence.
Even outsiders like the He family managed to get a map of its location. This is hard to understand!
"Uncle Fat, why did you tell me about this mine? Wouldn't it be more profitable for the He family to explore on their own?"
Du Xiong scratched the nape of his non-itchy head. "It should be so. That was our plan after getting rid of the Jiang Clan. But now everything's changed."
Changed? Is all this because of his existence?
Zhang Yu was silent for a moment, then rolled back the paper in his hand. "So now Uncle Fat wants to work together to cultivate the mine?"
"true."
Zhang Yu smiled, then asked in a joking tone. "But what if the Zhang Clan wants to cultivate it themselves?"
Thought Du Xiong would be angry, but the old man responded casually. "That can be done. But the crystals in the mine must be processed first before it can be used. I'm sure no one in this town can do it."
Zhang Yu stroked his chin like a palace advisor. He looked in several directions for inspiration.
"What about the division? I want everything clear at the beginning so there's no misunderstanding."
Du Xiong confidently said the split was fifty to fifty. Zhang Yu was surprised because he thought he would only get thirty to forty percent. But it turns out that fat uncle gave him a balanced division.
"alright. I agree!"
Since this was an advantage for the Zhang Clan of course he would not reject it. After that they parted there and Du Xiong said he would return to Heishan City before coming up with the cooperation format of the He family and the Zhang Clan.
"Eunuch Du, what exactly does he have that you pay so much attention to him?" One of the twenty He family troops asked Du Xiong curiously.
The He family had enough power to control the resource mine itself without cooperation.
Du Xiong was still unmoved staring at the direction Zhang Yu was leaving. Slowly he turned the body giving a sharp spotlight to the group of people before him.
"The teacher's great."
The eyebrows of dozens of people dressed in blue definitely shriveled.
It was as strong as anything that Du Xiong was so wary of. The He family had no shortage of strong people. Ten people were at the holy level and there were still twenty senior level people. Is it still not comparable to the figure of the 'teacher' in question?
Du Xiong did not say anything after that. He himself also did not know for sure the strength of that old man-teacher Zhang Yu. But clearly his strength was too terrifying.
"Let's go! We have to report this matter to the Great Lord."
...
While on the other hand, Zhang Yu ran quickly after the horse carriage that was already on its way home.
Maybe because he waited too long to be forced to leave.
Requiring a mileage new Zhang Yu saw the shadow of the Zhang Clan's horse carriage. Then with his speed, he chased after the carriage his father occupied.
"Yu'er?!"
"Zhang Yu?!"
Everyone on the carriage was shocked because Zhang Yu suddenly entered like a mouse being chased by a snake. The horse-drawn carriage was shaken because its arrival was followed by the arrival of strong winds.
"Sorry, ...." He raised his hand to apologize and showed a regretful expression.
Zhang Long wanted to scold his son, but seeing that he had apologized he instead asked him. "Where are you really from? We've waited so long we've finally waited walking."
Zhang Yu scratched his temple while laughing awkwardly. He did not want to tell too early about the existence of the resource mine and the cooperation plan with the He family. Let it all be discussed later when Du Xiong comes.
"There's business that can't be left. But now it's over so I don't have to worry."
The clueless Zhang Long only nodded his head at Zhang Yu's reply.
Zhang Lei, Zhang San and Zhang Lou who were also on the carriage were silent not saying anything. Just looking at Zhang Yu then closed his eyes enjoying the ride home.
It did not feel like three horse carriages had already entered the territory of the Zhang Clan. But when crossing the gate of the clan residence, it looks like lanterns and some candles lined up like commemorating yesterday.
The horse-drawn carriage deliberately slowed down. From the two-sided window, those inside the carriage witnessed this phenomenon with many questions.
"Zhang Yu, you go down and find out what happened."
