Chapter 9
"Thank you, young master, for saving your life."

In the Star Luo Empire, in the border city near the Star Dou Great Forest, in the room of a small inn.

Yan Ren brought Yan Fei to kneel down to Zhang Hengxing to express his deep gratitude.

Zhang Heng accepted the father and son's salute indifferently. After all, he saved the other party's life, and he could bear this kneeling.

After they finished saluting, Zhang Heng stepped forward to help them up, and said with a smile, "This kneeling will not replace your life, Uncle Yan."

Yan Ren was taken aback for a moment, and Yan Fei who was standing beside him pulled him a few times.

"Father, in order to save you, my son has already promised to give the soul bone to this young master."

Yan Ren looked at Yan Fei with his head down, touched his head, and kept silent. After a while, he sighed and said: "If this is the case, there is no other way. To be a man, we must be trustworthy and stretch out our hands."

Yan Fei turned his face away, stretched out his arm, Yan Ren turned his hand into a blade, raised his arm high, and when he was about to strike down, Zhang Heng stopped him.

"Hey, when did I say I was going to take his soul bone?"

Yan Fei and Yan Ren looked at each other in surprise.

"That little boy."

"Sit down and talk first."

Zhang Heng smiled and asked the two of them to sit down before asking.

"Uncle Yan is not an ordinary person."

Yan Ren looked at Zhang Heng inexplicably, puzzled.

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "I was in the woods just now, and when I saw Uncle Yan fighting that fat man, his movements were crisp and quick, his strikes were fierce and decisive, and his moves were deadly. Compared to Uncle Yan, he is not from an ordinary family, right? And when I entered the tent just now, the injuries on Uncle Guan Yan's body are not something ordinary people can resist."

Yan Ren stared at Zhang Heng with wide eyes, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then sighed again.

"To be honest, I used to be an imperial soldier, but because of the reorganization of the team, I don't want to follow other generals. It's shameful to say that I may still be a deserter."

"deserter!"

Zhang Heng and Yan Fei looked at Yan Ren with shocked eyes at the same time. Yan Fei was probably shocked because he really didn't know about his father's previous life, but Zhang Heng was shocked that he was still sitting here as a deserter .

You must know that the military discipline of the Star Luo Empire is quite strict. Once there are deserters in the team, everyone from the upper-level officers to the deserters' roommates will not be able to escape punishment, and the deserters themselves will be wanted with the highest level of arrest warrants. There is no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

Yan Ren looked at Zhang Heng with some doubts in his eyes. He knew from Zhang Heng's expression that Zhang Heng seemed to understand what deserters represented, which made him very puzzled. Other rules and regulations are extremely confidential information, and ordinary people have no access to them.

"It seems that this little son is not an ordinary person."

Yan Ren thought to himself, looked at Zhang Heng and explained.

"It's not the kind of deserter that you think. The reason why I call myself a deserter is actually just a derogatory name. To be honest, if it wasn't for the accident three years ago, maybe I am still in the army now. Serve as an adult."

"three years ago!"

Zhang Heng's heart tightened, and he vaguely seemed to guess something.

"Father, what happened three years ago to make you go home suddenly."

Yan Fei, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help asking the question that he seemed to have held back for a long time.

Yan Ren was silent for a moment, then whispered: "I shouldn't have told you, because it involves imperial secrets, but now that so much time has passed, it is estimated that not many people remember what happened back then."

"Three years ago, in the imperial city of our Star Luo Empire, it's ridiculous to say that my chief, Megatron Star Dou border, made the enemy frightened by the news, with the strength of 85 Soul Douluo, Grand Marshal of the Shadow Bat, the two dukes of the empire One of them, Duke Zhang Wuwei, was killed at home, not only him but also his wife and family members were killed."

"At that time, this incident made us Duke Zhang's subordinates very angry. Everyone wanted to avenge the Duke. However, the imperial royal family chose to conceal this matter and subtly eliminate all the truth. We didn't understand it and the royal family didn't explain too much."

"Tell us clearly that those who are willing to stay will be divided and assigned to other teams, and those who do not want to stay can sign a non-disclosure agreement and leave. I was very angry at the time and couldn't understand what the royal family was doing, so I chose to leave, but now that I think about it, the royal family did this probably because of fear, after all, it is an enemy who can kill Contra-level powerhouses silently, so I am afraid the royal family would not dare to offend easily."

Zhang Heng looked at Yan Ren with a wry smile, his face was expressionless, but his fists under the table were clenched tightly. He was not angry because of what the royal family had done, but because he heard it again. When others recounted the incident three years ago, the anger in their hearts could not help but want to explode.

Back then, the first person who discovered that something had happened in his home was his father, another Duke of the empire, Duke Zhu. Duke Zhu took him away from the Zhang Mansion, and quickly blocked the news and reported it to the royal family. Extremely furious, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, someone actually committed a murder, and he was the Duke of the Empire, no matter whether he was a titled Douluo or not, the imperial family still has the ability to make him pay the price.

But Zhang Heng came out to stop them. On the one hand, he was afraid of death. After all, if the matter were to be publicized, his figure would definitely be exposed, and if the murderer wanted to kill him, he really had no way of knowing Survive, on the other hand, he was only three years old at the time, and he thought it would be a long time, that guy is a titled Douluo, and he will definitely not die of old age for the time being, in this case, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, he wants to wait until he has enough With powerful strength, only by personally pulling him out and crushing him to pieces can the hatred in his heart be relieved.

Yan Ren's eyes flickered, and his gaze towards Zhang Heng gradually became weird, because he actually felt from Zhang Heng's body a murderous aura that even veterans who have been on the front line of the battlefield for decades may not necessarily have. It was so rich that even the surrounding temperature dropped a little because of it.

He swallowed, not knowing that he made a mistake in that sentence, so he quickly changed the subject.

"I'm sorry, I haven't asked the son's name yet."

Zhang Heng took a deep breath, put away the resentment and anger in his heart, turned his head to look at Yan Ren, and said calmly, "My name is Zhang Heng."

"Zhang Heng! How do you feel, where have you heard this name?"

Yan Ren thought inexplicably. After thinking for a moment, he widened his eyes and looked at Zhang Heng. The outline of the boy in front of him became more and more like the mountain-like adult in his memory.

"you"

Yan Ren stood up fiercely, pointed at Zhang Heng, his fingers trembled, his voice trembled slightly, and his face looked like he had seen a ghost.

Zhang Heng looked at him, nodded his head, and confirmed what he was thinking.

I saw Yan Ren's mouth opening and closing, but there was no sound coming out of his mouth. Finally, he thumped and knelt down on the ground with tears running down his face, roaring and shouting.

"Little Lord!"·

Zhang Heng understands his excitement very well. You must know that when his father was alive, his prestige in the army even faintly surpassed the combined prestige of the current Emperor Xingluo and that other Marshal of the Empire, Duke Zhu. Some children even joked Well, half of the Star Luo Empire's army is Duke Zhang's family soldiers.

Therefore, Zhang Heng was not surprised that Yan Ren called him a young master, but when he thought that his father was in his prime, but suffered such misfortune, he felt a little more hatred for that opponent in his heart.

Zhang Heng sighed, let go of his clenched fists, got off the chair and helped Yan Ren up and said, "Uncle Yan doesn't have to be like this. Now you are no longer my father's subordinate, so you don't need to respectfully call me young master."

Yan Ren burst into tears, like a lump in his throat, looking at Zhang Heng, his eyes were hazy with tears, unable to utter a complete sentence.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Mia walked in with murderous eyes, still holding the hunter's javelin that had just dealt with the matter in her hand, watching Yan Ren who was crying bitterly, she narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold light flickered in the corner of her eyes, Obviously, she was murdered.

Zhang Heng walked up to her quickly, stopped her, and quietly narrated what happened just now.

Hearing that Yan Ren was Zhang Heng's father's old department, Mia sighed softly, put away her martial soul, and looked at Zhang Heng to show him how to solve it.

Zhang Heng has always concealed his identity, and naturally he will not let people who know his identity and pose a danger to him live. He looked at Yan Ren and Yan Fei, and said indifferently: "Uncle Yan, although I am very happy to know you, but , All these years I have been hiding my identity, the purpose is to fear that the murderer will come to my door, but now you know my true identity, I can only give you two ways."

"The first way is to become my subordinate and do things for me. You father and son will be the guards of my Zhang family in the future. Don't betray. And the second way...you are willing."

Zhang Heng didn't say the whole thing, but anyone could understand the second half of what he meant.

Yan Ren showed hesitation on his face. He himself is in his 40s and [-]s, and he has nothing to look forward to in this life, but his son has just started.

Zhang Heng saw his hesitation, and continued: "Uncle Yan, you know that if Yan Fei is under your guidance, his achievements in this life will only be a little better than you in this life, but if he becomes my subordinate, For my own sake, I will let him display his full potential, now that he has a soul bone, his achievements in the future will naturally not be low, but it is not up to you to decide how high he can be, but I can."

Yan Ren looked at Yan Fei and asked, "Xiao Fei, you are not young anymore, do you think you can accept what the young master said?"

Yan Fei looked at his father, then looked at Zhang Heng, and said in a deep voice: "Young master saved my father and son's lives, so what if we return our lives to you, let alone following you, I think I will have a better future. Willing to follow the son."

Yan Ren let out a breath, as if letting go of some heavy thoughts, turned to look at Zhang Heng, knelt down on one knee and said.

"I, the father and son of the Yan family, would like to worship Mr. Zhang Heng as the master, to be the machete of the son, to be the shield of the son, the life of the son is the life of the two of us, and the order of the son is the direction of the two of us. "

With a smile on his face, Zhang Heng stepped forward to help the two of them and accepted them. He said a few words softly, and after promising something, he turned back to Mia and said.

"Sister Mia, everything is over, let's go home."

"Okay sir."
