Chapter 52 Unlucky Zhang Zhe
Zhang Zhe was completely bewildered. His gaze had just fallen upon the scantily clad, beautiful women in the brothel ahead, and he was about to go in for a drink, listen to some music, and stay the night before heading back the next day.
They were actually stopped by a pale-faced, beardless old man.
The other person exuded a chilling aura as he looked at him and said, "Young master, our young lady invites you in."
Zhang Zhe raised an eyebrow, a hint of confidence unconsciously appearing on his face.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "This Youzhou City is really different. Someone noticed my extraordinary nature as soon as I arrived."
He usually abducted women by force, but today a woman actually approached him. After glancing at the brothel ahead, she said to the old man, "Lead the way."
Anyway, I can go to brothels anytime, but this is the first time I've been chosen by a woman on my own initiative.
It wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.
The butler smiled faintly, then led Zhang Zhe toward the carriage.
As soon as he got closer, Zhang Zhe realized something was wrong; the guards around him were stronger than he had imagined.
Each of them seemed to be just as strong as him.
It should be noted that Zhang Zhe has now reached the pinnacle of tendon refining.
Then, the carriage curtain was lifted.
The woman's large figure came into view. She stared at Zhang Zhe, a satisfied look on her fleshy face. However, because she was so fat, her makeup was a bit smudged because of the excessive oil on her face, but she didn't seem to care.
"Young master, would you be willing to have a few drinks with me?"
The woman's voice was somewhat rough, and although it differed from the man's, it was still quite jarring.
However, what bothered him even more was the other person's enormous size and the food spilled on his clothes while he was eating because of his large size.
"I... ugh..."
Zhang Zhe had just opened his mouth when he turned his head to the side and began to gag.
"How dare you!"
The butler shouted angrily from the side.
Clang!
The guard beside him instantly drew his long sword from his waist and pressed it against Zhang Zhe's neck, the cold blade touching his skin.
It made the hairs on his body stand on end.
He could sense that these people were truly capable of killing him.
"I am Zhang Zhe, centurion of Huangsha Pass."
Faced with the threat, Zhang Zhe had no choice but to reveal his identity, since the court would definitely investigate if an official of Dayong died in the street.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the old butler coldly said, "A mere centurion dares to be so arrogant. It would be easier to crush you than to kill a bug. Being able to meet our young lady is already a blessing you could only dream of. And now you dare to be so rude. It would be better to kill you."
As they spoke, the guards prepared to attack.
"slow!"
But at that moment, the woman in the carriage spoke calmly.
She had seen this scene too many times, but which of those seemingly proud men didn't eventually become her lovers? She loved the feeling of trampling on these men who looked down on her and manipulating them at will.
A hint of amusement flashed in her eyes as she stared at Zhang Zhe and slowly said, "Am I making you uncomfortable?"
Zhang Zhe first nodded, then quickly shook his head.
"Ha ha......"
The woman let out a hearty laugh, then said, "Go back now. I'll be in Youzhou for the next few days. If you need anything, you can come to the General's Mansion in Youzhou to find me. Don't forget!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling his men to leave.
Zhang Zhe, who was standing still, was completely dumbfounded.
He didn't know the woman's identity, but she was definitely not simple.
After all, not just anyone can live in the General's Mansion in Youzhou.
At the very least, they are direct descendants of the Helian family. However, since they said they were temporarily staying at the General's Mansion, they could very well be guests. If they are the latter, judging from their attire and appearance, they are probably even more extraordinary.
Thinking of this, he lost all interest in visiting brothels and cursed his bad luck inwardly.
They prepared to leave the city and return to Huangsha Fortress.
He regretted coming to Youzhou City today. As for finding that woman, he would have to be crazy to do so.
Although Zhang Zhe is only a centurion now, don't forget that he was born into the Zhang family of Yunzhou. Although it can't be called a prestigious family, it is definitely a powerful and wealthy family.
After the woman on horseback had gone some distance, she instructed the steward: "Check his identity. Before he leaves Youzhou, make sure he willingly kneels at my feet and serves me."
The woman's voice was flat, as if she could control other people's fate with just a few words.
The two male concubines knelt to the side, trembling, their faces as pale as if they had been coated with wax.
They knew all too well the methods this young lady possessed.
At the same time, I silently mourned for Zhang Zhe.
However, upon returning to Huangsha Fortress, the opposing side faced their first wave of punishment.
Helian Shang, who had just returned, was ready to vent his anger on Zhang Zhe, but when he found that Zhang Zhe was not there, his anger instantly flared up again.
Therefore, he remained seated in the military camp, waiting for the other party to return.
Zhang Zhe, who had just entered the city defense camp, immediately sensed something was wrong after hearing that the captain was looking for him.
Not daring to delay, he immediately went to the front hall.
But as soon as he stepped inside, he was pinned to the ground by several soldiers.
Helian Shang asked with a grim expression, "Where did you go?"
Zhang Zhe was about to reply.
Helian Shang coldly replied, "Dereliction of duty is punishable by fifty strokes of the cane. If it happens again, you will be dealt with according to military law!"
As soon as the sound rang out, Zhang Zhe was dragged away.
Helian Shang touched his cheek, his lips twitching involuntarily.
After getting drunk at the Icefield Fortress, Jiu Sai Hou slapped him so hard that all his teeth fell out.
He was clearly using the influence of alcohol to express his dissatisfaction with the Helian family.
It's all Zhang Zhe's fault. If he hadn't lost, none of this would have happened.
At this moment, he didn't care about the face of the General of Yunzhou at all.
If we don't get Zhang Zhe properly treated this time, he's not worthy of the name Helian.
At the same time, he was very envious of Zhou Hongling. Having a capable and loyal subordinate was something every general dreamed of.
Hearing Zhang Zhe's screams outside, he felt a little better.
Bai Hong, who rushed to the military camp, was helpless to do anything when he saw his young master being beaten.
He held a letter in his hand, but did not open it. It was sent by Zhang Zhe's confidant, and only the recipient had the right to read it.
However, Bai Hong had a rough idea of what it was.
Since arriving in the northern frontier, Zhang Zhe has never stopped sending people to inquire about A Yuan's whereabouts, sending people to every border city.
This time, there seems to be some news.
He didn't want to pay attention to these things that happened in wealthy families.
We'll just have to wait until Zhang Zhe has finished getting beaten up before sending the letter over.
As for whether he really intends to kill A Yuan, that's Zhang Zhe's business; he won't get involved.
After all, this is a matter within their family.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan, after purchasing the pills and having a meal at the Captain's residence, returned to his own quarters.
Close the doors and windows, and sit on the bed.
He took out the pills in his hand and swallowed a Xuanjin Pill directly.
He has now completed the Tendon Refining stage. Once he reaches the Spirit Nourishing stage, he can directly refine his internal organs by taking the Dragon Tendon Pill.
At that time, the position of centurion will be a sure thing.
At this moment, he was quite curious about how much proficiency this Mystic Tendon Pill could improve.
The next moment, an unprecedented surge of heat enveloped his entire body, making Lu Yuan feel more comfortable than ever before.
His muscles and bones were constantly tempered by this heat.
He could even clearly hear the sounds coming from inside his body.
Gradually, the gentle heat turned scorching.
Like a ball of fire, beads of sweat appeared on Lu Yuan's forehead.
However, he was certain that the effect of this Profound Tendon Pill was dozens of times greater than that of previous pills.
