Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Zhang Yuanli turned his head to look, his pupils dilated instantly, his face was instantly pale as paper, and he muttered to himself, "Why is this? How could this be? Could it be that the ancestors of the Zhang family are implying something?"

It turned out that the pieces of wooden utensils that fell to the ground just now were nothing else, but the tablets of the Zhang family's ancestors in the ancestral hall of the Zhang family's ancestral house, a total of thirteen tablets.Because the loud noise just now shook the ground, all of them fell to the ground, and no one was spared.

"Brother, brother, what's going on? What happened?"

Just when Zhang Yuanli was in a daze, Zhang Yuanzhi, the third master of the Zhang family, ran into the ancestral hall of the ancestral house with messy clothes.

Looking at Zhang Yuanzhi's uncombed and unwashed hair and messy clothes, he should have been startled from the bed by the loud noise.

Zhang Yuanli was originally restless, but when his second brother Zhang Yuanzhi barged in so abruptly, he was taken aback. He turned his head in shock and shouted, "Who? Who?"

Zhang Yuanzhi saw that his elder brother looked like he had bumped into a ghost during the day, so he hurried forward and shouted, "Brother, it's me? I'm the second child, Yuan Zhi!"

After Zhang Yuanzhi yelled, Zhang Yuanli finally regained his soul, his complexion improved a little, but he still looked absent-minded.

Zhang Yuanzhi asked: "Brother, what happened? I took a nap in the room after lunch, but I was awakened by the sudden loud noise."

Zhang Yuanli shook his head, still sighing with lingering fear: "You ask me, who should I ask? The loud response should come from the direction of Beijiao. Huh? Beijiao...Fengleizhuang..., by the way Second child, today is the funeral of Lei Hu in Fenglei Hall, didn't the third child bring someone there to ask for the gunpowder technique? How is the matter going? Has the third child returned yet?"

As soon as Zhang Yuanzhi heard his elder brother mention the third son, Zhang Yuanxin, his heart was full of jealousy. Why would his elder brother not let him go to Fengleizhuang to ask for the gunpowder technique when he was the second son?

He secretly thought that as long as the third child obtained the art of gunpowder and the secret method of thunderbolt from Fengleizhuang, then your third room will naturally master this heaven-defying weapon in the future.

Then from now on, where will my second room be confronted with Zhang Yuanxin's third room?Doesn't it mean that the youngest's branch has the upper hand in everything?

Damn it, it's true that we are brothers but have different fates. The eldest brother is too biased and angry.

Suddenly, anger loomed in his heart, and he said in a very aggressive tone: "I don't know, the third child always likes to eat alone when he does things. Where can I find out how he is doing?"

Thanks to Zhang Yuanli's trance, he didn't notice Zhang Yuanzhi's tone at all, otherwise, if he couldn't recite it, he would be singing a long speech about an elder brother teaching his son like a father with a stick.

Zhang Yuanli turned around to look at the empty wall, and sighed to himself: "Second brother, why do you think my chest is always jumping around? Maybe the third child and the others are in Beijing. Something happened in the suburbs!"

Zhang Yuanzhi spat inwardly, Gods and gods are like a magic stick, a single explosion can scare you like this, how can our Zhang family have the slightest demeanor?Besides, the third child wants to compete with me for everything, hmph, it's good that something happened.

But when the words came out of his mouth, they turned into other words. He only heard a few dry laughs, and comforted him: "Brother, you probably didn't sleep well last night, right? Don't think about it, the third child and the others may be forced What has been delayed. Now all the members of Jinling Jingyi Gang and Suqian Caravan are rushing to Yangzhou, with white shadows and sails on the canal and river, and the two gangs are waiting in full force, what will happen? Hehe, to put it in a sad word, today's Yangzhou City Neither Li nor Guo, haha, the Zhang family in Yangzhou is the real owner of this Yangzhou land!"

Hearing Zhang Yuanzhi's brazen words, Zhang Yuanli frowned, and scolded: "Second brother, you are too happy. You are good at everything, but you lack the kindness of the third child. Look at the ancestors of the Zhang family all over the place." Tablets, all fell to the ground, this is not an ancestor warning, what else can it be?"

Zhang Yuanzhi shifted his gaze to the memorial tablet on the ground, and couldn't help but feel depressed for a while. Wasn't it because a loud noise shook the ancestor tablet?As for going online like this, is it related to ancestor warning?You still scold me for being heartless?Grass... You don't look down on me, the second child of the Zhang family, at all.

However, he was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to argue with Zhang Yuanli, so he kept silent and let Zhang Yuanli gossip.

suddenly,

Two servants broke in from outside the ancestral hall, panicking and making noise, alarming the two brothers Zhang Yuanli and Zhang Yuanzhi.

Zhang Yuanzhi was just about to scold this dead servant for breaking the rules, but he found that one of the two was covered in ragged clothes and rags, his face was dirty as if he had come out of a latrine, and he was killed by another With the help of the servants, he limped into the ancestral hall.

Zhang Yuanzhi was able to discover this clue, and the patriarch Zhang Yuanli would naturally be able to as well. He only heard Zhang Yuanli ask with a worried face: "Why are you in such a mess? What happened?"

"Wow, patriarch, wow, second master, woo woo woo... Something big happened!"

The limping servant fell to his knees with a plop, his shoulders trembling and crying, "Dead, all dead, all of our people were blown to death, burned to death. They are everywhere. Broken arms and broken legs, woo woo, flesh and blood flying everywhere, corpses separated, that place is now a purgatory on earth!!! woo woo... something happened in Beijiao Fenglei Village!"

hum~~

Upon hearing Zhang Yuanli's first glance, it was as if his head had been hit hard by a huge copper hammer. Suddenly, he felt powerless and dizzy. With the last bit of sobriety, he raised his trembling right arm and asked Said: "Then, what about the third master? He...he...where is he now?"

The servant fell on the ground and wept bitterly, choking on his sobs and shouting: "Third...Third Lord... Woohoo, he's dead too, he was blown into a ball of meat sauce by the thunderbolt, and there's not even a bone scum left!"

Boom~!

Bang! !

Zhang Yuanli suddenly felt dizzy, his throat felt slightly sour and sweet, and a mouthful of blood spattered out, drawing a bloody arc.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground and fainted.

"Big brother!"

Zhang Yuanzhi was still awake, so he quickly knelt down and helped Zhang Yuanli up, stretched out his hand to probe his nose, and cursed inwardly, "Damn it, it's a thief who never dies, yet he still has breath."

Immediately, he waved to the standing servant and said: "Quickly, carry the patriarch back to the room, and ask the doctor to come and treat him."

When the servant heard the bad news about Fenglei Village and saw the patriarch fainting suddenly, he had already panicked. Now, after listening to the second master's order, he stepped forward to carry Zhang Yuanli on his back without saying a word, and ran out of the ancestral hall staggeringly.

At this time, Zhang Yuanzhi looked at the servant on the ground who continued to cry bitterly and shouted: "Stop crying, tell me quickly, what happened at Fenglei Hall?"

From the looks of it, the servant in front of him should be a survivor who narrowly escaped death, and Zhang Yuanzhi could only ask him about the real situation in Fenglei Village.

After Zhang Yuanzhi bluffed the servant, his crying stopped abruptly. He wiped his tear-stained cheeks, and talked about what happened at Fenglei Village in the northern suburbs while crying.

As if this servant was detonated by tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder, he was shocked by the scene where Fengleizhuang was instantly razed to the ground, and he kept repeating the words "flesh and blood, no bones left, and purgatory on earth".

Zhang Yuanzhi patiently listened to his intermittent narration, howling and ghostly screaming, and finally heard the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

After listening to it, he also had a look of horror on his face, and there was only one sentence coiled in his mind: a truly lucky person has his own blessing from God.

Because he was still belittling his big brother Zhang Yuanli just now, dissatisfied that the other party didn't send him to Fenglei Village this morning to do this matter.

If this matter fell on his head, then it would not be the third Zhang Yuanxin who was caught, and it would not be the third Zhang Yuanxin who was blown into meat sauce, but him, the second master of the Zhang family. .

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, his back was already drenched in shock, and he was dripping with sweat!

After the false alarm, he secretly exclaimed luck, third child, who made you look unlucky, but although you are not yet sixty, you are still fifty-three, and you should die.Hehe, it's a good death, third child, it's a good death for you.You are dead, who would dare to fight with your second brother?

Thinking that the third child is dead now, and the eldest brother Zhang Yuanli has fainted again, even if the eldest child wakes up, at his age of over 60 and almost [-], it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to recover after such a big stimulation.

God has eyes, now Zhang Yuanzhi is the only one left in Zhang Jiayuan's generation.

Although he is now sixty-three, he feels that he is in good health and delicious, and it is the golden age to take over the Zhang family in Yangzhou.

Immediately, Zhang Yuanzhi's heart rose with a sense of heroism of being old and ambitious.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he changed into a benevolent look, and with a smile on his face, he personally helped up the servant on the ground, and said in a nice voice: "Okay, you too will be blessed if you survive a catastrophe. You should spread the word on behalf of my master now, and pass it on to the whole Gujing Lane, because the third master is dead, and the eldest master is critically ill. .”

The servant exclaimed, his eyes were full of horror, and he exclaimed: "Ah? Second, second master, how did this happen?"

The implication is that now that the third master is dead and the elder master is fainting, how can the second master be so ruthless and take advantage of the chaos to take the position of the Patriarch of the Zhang family?

Is this any more humane?

Seeing that a small servant was questioning himself, Zhang Yuanzhi's benevolent face disappeared instantly, and he shouted angrily: "Ah, what? Why don't you hurry up and pass it on? Apart from this master, do you think there are others?" Who is suitable to preside over the precarious Zhang family? Hurry up, my master is going to call the members of the Zhang clan to discuss countermeasures and avenge the third master of your family!"

Chapter 799

Soon, Zhang Yuanzhi's words were passed on word of mouth through his servants, and the houses and courtyards inside and outside Gujing Lane had received the news.
