The Ghost of Fog
Chapters 158. The Arrival of the Enemy
"Eh.so so. Thank you Miss Zhang!!" said Song Qian. At the end of the sentence he was already kneeling before the girl. Seeing Song Qian kneel down, Fen Lian also knelt down.
"If only when Lin Tian slashed at you and you guys dodged, he would really kill you guys" Zhang Qiaofeng said.
"Well, but it seems like your vows are not just empty words. So I appreciate it, you guys are accepted as members of our family. If that crazy grandfather were to look for you, the entire Zhang family would face it." he continued, slightly denouncing the Mountain Destroyer Bullet.
"Why are you still on your knees? get up and don't be so respectful!" reprimanded Zhang Qiaofeng saw the two people before him had not yet awakened from his knees.
Song Qian and Fen Lian got up a little shyly. To be honest they were ashamed of themselves thinking that they were now in hell, and they were ashamed to think that Lin Tian and Zhang Qiaofeng were dead.
"Miss, since the information about the book was already known from the two of them, how good is it now? Go back to the Lotus Flower society and tell Mr Cin?" Lin Tian asked.
Zhang Qiaofeng seemed to think for a moment before replying, "I've already thought about it. We'd better go home first to let them know via Uncle Minghao's letter-delivery bird."
Lin Tian nodded in agreement, then his gaze turned to Song Qian and Fen Lian. "Rest, we'll be windy early tomorrow."
The two women nodded and immediately turned their backs to the bonfire. I slept a little while.
...****************...
Zhang Hongli, the previous leader of the Zhang family was truly in a state of concern. His hair was frowning, his eyelids blackened and the wrinkles on his face seemed to increase in number.
He was currently sitting listlessly in Zhang Qiaofeng's room. There was a cup of cold tea on his front desk, his eyes open and closed like a sleepy person.
This was one of the reasons that made Zhang Hongli not want to be appointed as leader at that time, and preferred his grandson to fill the position of leader. He was really very lazy to take care of all sorts of family leader affairs.
He intended to spend his old age in the Zhang family with his granddaughter. Peaceful living is far from being disconnected to lead a family. But after Zhang Qiaofeng's departure that was long enough to help Hu Tao's efforts, Zhang Hongli inevitably had to hold the reins of the Zhang family's leadership.
As soon as he heard the news of Minghao's return, he became delighted and immediately welcomed to the front gate. In his preconception, Zhang Hongli suspected that his beloved grandson had already returned home. But his face immediately changed when this old grandfather arrived at the gate.
He looked at Minghao and Lu Jia Li along with the fifties of Zhang's army from a distance. But he did not see his grandson and bodyguards at all. This made him frown. Then immediately without any welcome or anything, he immediately asked.
"Where's my grandson?" asked this grandfather with a probing gaze while looking at the troops. Looking for the existence of the beautiful girl who became his grandson.
Minghao was only able to let out a long sigh before answering weakly.
"Miss is not coming home, sir. Miss with Lin Tian left with a member of the Lotus Flower beggar's society. They're looking for a book Sin Nia stole."
"Hm, what book is that?"
"Let's see, the book is essentially precious to the Lotus Flower society."
Zhang Hongli's countenance changed slightly upon hearing this report. Lu Jia Li and Minghao were also able to see it clearly. But only for a moment did the strange expression before suddenly this grandfather laughed out loud.
"Hahaha.if there's Lin Tian I don't need to worry. Hey Minghao, from now on you're replacing me to take care of all the family matters!! Until my granddaughter comes home, you'll take care of everything."
"What's? How can that be!?" Minghao strongly denied.
"Of course you can!! I am Nonamu's grandfather, I am also the first elder, I am also the former leader of the previous, I am also a direct descendant of the Zhang family leader. Well, what are you going to argue with!!??" challenge the grandfather to grunt with wide bulging eyes.
Minghao's mouth opened and closed, about to refute but no words came out. Indeed, all of that was the fact, that he had absolutely no reason to refute this grandfather before him. So after sighing a few times, he finally agreed to the troublesome task.
...****************...
It felt so peaceful when he managed to be free from the clutches of leadership duties. After the task was handed over to Minghao, this grandfather could return to enjoy his peaceful old life.
This was indeed Zhang Hongli, he became the first elder of the Zhang family, but other than training the children of the new recruits of the Hu and Xiao families, there was hardly any other work he did. Maybe fishing or occasionally meditating to gather energy in.
As with today, he had already ordered his students to practice independently according to the instructions he gave. So that today he can relax all day.
"Hah..macute." he murmured while keeping his eyes closed to enjoy the breeze around.
After quite some time, it seemed that the peace that Zhang Hongli had to end. His sharp ears heard the sound of footsteps running towards him. Because it had been experience, this grandfather knew from the sound of hasty footsteps that there were unpleasant problems.
"Ck, what is this." he muttered annoyedly as he opened his eyes and looked sharply.
And sure enough, a moment later, his gaze caught the silhouette of a man running quickly towards him. He was one of Zhang's troops.
"What's up!?" zhang Hongli asked with an authoritative manner once.
"Sorry to disturb your composure Sir, but at this time Mr. Minghao calls you to come to his room immediately" replied the person.
Zhang Hongli screeched slowly. Knowing that there was an urgent matter, without much further ado he immediately darted quickly towards Minghao's room. For a moment his body flashed, the grandfather had already disappeared from there as if he had never been there before.
Whereas in Minghao's room, the man was currently facing some important people of the Zhang family. They are Lu brothers, Lu Jia Li, Siang Ki, Yin Yin and his children, even grandfather Gong Fai the blacksmith was also present there with his students from their faces, it is clear that this problem is not light.
"We wait for Master Zhang Hongli" Minghao said in seriousness.
A second later, suddenly a shadow flashed very quickly. And without making the slightest sound, next to Minghao was already standing a human figure eagerly waiting.
"What's up!?" asked that person who was none other than Zhang Hongli.
"All right, get to the point. Please explain back to Master Zhang Hongli." said Minghao at the end of the sentence, he turned his gaze to one of the Zhang family spies.
The man immediately said, "From the North there, there is a large army that is moving fast towards here. In the front row, I saw a man who was probably in his thirties with two other men. One of those men is someone we know all about, he is the Golden Dragon."
Zhang Hongli's face was already uneasy hearing this. It was obvious that the troops were not well-meaning. Especially with the existence of the Golden Dragon, a kingpin of the black world was also in the army. Making him guess what happened until the Zhang family was approached by the Golden Dragon.
"Will the Golden Dragon take revenge? Didn't my grandson go to the Heaven's Wall Mountains to help the Hu family who were reportedly conducting a mountain man investigation there?"
"It is not so, sir. Because the great army is not a mountain army at all." replied the spy.
Not long after, there was one Zhang bodyguard who ran into the room. That person was the gatekeeper of Zhang's residence.
As soon as he entered, his face was death-center and his breath was puffing. His body shivered violently.
"They have arrived." These are the only words that come out of the man's mouth. But it was enough for all of them to know who had come.
"Lu brothers and Lu Jia Li, Yin Yin is with your children, you guys are guarding at the gate!! Gong Fai and your disciples, order all Zhang's troops to gather at the gate!! No other choice, we greet them with the attitude of a swordsman!! With the Golden Dragon, where could they possibly come to chat!? Let's go!!" zhang Hongli's orders were firm.
"Okay Sir!!"
