Chapter 15 Return to Kunwu City 2

Zhang Cheng didn't believe that Doctor Kunwu wanted to accept him as his adopted son and heir before, because it was completely illogical. But now Doctor Kunwu has given him the blood of Zhurong who can become a descendant of Zhurong, and on the other hand, he just hinted that he "more than one sergeant" and it is difficult for people to not be able to afford this idea.

Think about it, Zhang Cheng became a descendant of Zhurong, and was adopted by Doctor Kunwu as his adopted son. Now he really "breaks his bones and connects his tendons" with Kunwu, who claims to be Zhurong's direct line. At that time, even if you are an outsider, no one will believe it.

Ma Dan, this doctor Kunwu’s golden thigh is too thick. Zhang Cheng can only sigh like this.

"That...that..." Zhang Cheng stammered, thinking about saying something, but not knowing what to say. If he was a game player, he would agree immediately without thinking. But in reality, especially now that he already has the power of a wizard, this choice has a little hesitation. It is a good thing to tie him up with Doctor Kunwu, but if the matter of being a time traveler and a wizard was exposed, he would not know what the result would be. "I don't understand what the doctor means."

Doctor Kunwu smiled with relief. "Zhang Cheng, have you heard that the country cannot be without a master for a day?"

Zhang Cheng was shocked, why did he change the topic again? "This, I thought..."

"Now, the emperor and the prince were killed by Quanrong," Doctor Kunwu ignored Zhang Cheng and continued on his own. "There is no master in the world, chaos will arise." There was an unusual firmness in his voice. "The Quanrong is still entrenched in Haojing, and things are fine. But once Quanrong leaves, I am afraid that the princes will have civil war."

Needless to say, you also understand, at least I know that in the next confrontation between the two kings of Zhou and the two kings will be extremely fierce. According to the history of the earth, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period will soon begin. Zhang Cheng replied silently in his heart.

However, another rational voice told him that the history of the earth is not equal to the future of this world. Not to mention anything else, it is normal to stand together on the earth, but it is very difficult to stand together in the world. Because if the new emperor wants to ascend the throne, he needs the approval of the gods, especially the ancestor of Zhou Shi, Hou Ji.

The true legal heir, the son of King You of Zhou and Bao Si, has been killed. This heir is the only existence that does not need Hou Ji to endorse (maybe Hou Ji has already recited the book). Except for him, if everyone wants to become the emperor, legality needs Hou Ji to endorse it.

The fool also understood that as the ancestor of the Zhou Shi and the patron saint of the dynasty, Hou Ji could not make the Zhou Dynasty chaotic. It is hard to say who he chose, maybe King Xie of Zhou, maybe King Ping of Zhou, maybe there are other candidates. But He would definitely only choose one person. Whoever gets Hou Ji's approval first will be the next emperor of Zhou Shi.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" said Dr. Kunwu.

Zhang Cheng was shocked again. To be honest, he had been surprised many times today, but Doctor Kungo's words were really surprising. Could Doctor Kungo want to imitate Cao Cao or Oda Nobunaga to take over the emperor (the shogun) to order the princes?

If you put Doctor Kunwu on Earth, you may have the ability to really have this strength. But in this world where gods and demons emerge, this is just a delusion.

"Doctor Kunwu, what do you mean?"

"Today, there are probably only two people who can fulfill the throne of Emperor Taizong, one is Wang Ziyijiu and the other is Wang Zi Yuchen." said Doctor Kunwu. "Both people have sent me a secret message."

Tsk... Isn't this the King Ping of Zhou and King Xie of Zhou? But then again, this is the normal thing. Why are they the only ones able to be kings in the history of the earth? Of course, it is because they have advantages that others cannot compare with. Moreover, they are indeed incompatible in terms of qualifications and are difficult to distinguish. King Ping of Zhou is the son of the former king and the eldest son, while King Xie of Zhou is the younger brother of the former king. Logically speaking, King Ping of Zhou has a higher inheritance right, but because he is suspected of colluding with the Quanrong to kill the former king, the qualifications of the two are equal. At least in the eyes of the world.

Of course, in the history of the earth, it is different from this world. For example, in the history of the earth, even if there is such a Kunwu doctor of the same name, the two competitors probably would not send a secret message. Because a doctor really has no value to win over. What the doctor owns is just a small city with more than a thousand soldiers, which is not worth mentioning.

"What do you say about the two princes?" Zhang Cheng calmed down and asked.

"I have made up my mind," Doctor Kunwu did not answer positively. "Whoever they promised me the position of princes will I promise!"

Ahh... It turns out that's what it means. Zhang Cheng suddenly understood. But he also felt a deep sense of crisis... It would be fine if he made the right choice, but if he made the wrong choice, it would be really done. And it was probably the whole city of Kunwu City, and Zhang Cheng was no exception. But he remembered that he had 10 luck, so he would not be so unlucky.

"But..." Zhang Cheng wanted to say, but he also felt that Doctor Kunwu had already thought about it, so he didn't need to say anything.

"You go back and rest for a few days first to nourish your spirits." Dr. Kunwu said. "At that time, I have something big to leave to you!"

Zhang Cheng exited the room, not far away, both Huang Gong and Hu Chen were waiting for him. The three of them walked out while talking. Huang Gong and Zhang Cheng walked side by side, while Hu Chen followed about three steps behind.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang Cheng this time," Mr. Huang was obviously full of congratulations. "Your servant... isn't it okay?" He asked a little ambiguously. Since he recognized it, Doctor Kunwu must have recognized it. Mr. Huang was sure that Doctor Kunwu would mention this matter during the secret discussion just now.

"It's okay, he's very reliable." He's already included in the cards, can he still be unreliable?" Dr. Kunwu said just now, "Zhang Cheng paused, "During this period, both princes have sent letters."

Mr. Huang looked around and was sure that there was no third ear around him. No, the fourth ear. "Young Master Zhang Cheng, you should not let outsiders know about this."

"I will be careful." Zhang Cheng replied.

"Thanks to Mr. Zhang Cheng's efforts, Doctor Kunwu became famous for his princes." said Mr. Huang. "Especially, several countries close to Dongyi, such as Lu and Qi, were very grateful to the Doctors of the Princes. Several monarchs even sent letters of thanks."

Although the princes wrote thank-you letters to the doctors, there was no practical benefit, it was already a very great honor for this society with strict hierarchy.

"…The matter of the Nine Yi Army is over," said Huang Gong. "The coalition of princes is ready to launch a large-scale offensive in the near future. I dare not say that it can regain Haojing, but at least it can severely hit the arrogance of the Quanrong."

He sighed softly. In fact, the threat of Quanrong can be said to have basically ended at this time. Although their strength is still threatening, it is not enough to reach the point of attacking and destroying Zhuxia. Of course, Kunwu City should still be highly vigilant just in case.

"Is there anything else?" Zhang Cheng asked. "For example, the races outside of Zhuxia?"

"I heard that Chu State plans to use troops to the Southern Barbarians, and it will probably fight for many years." Huang Gong thought for a while and replied. Although Chu State was one of the princes, it has always been unfavorable to the Zhou Dynasty and fought against each other several times. It is also good news for Chu State to take this opportunity to expand to the Southern Barbarians, which shows that they have a neutral attitude towards the current situation. Of course, on the other hand, it also shows the contradiction between the Chu people: they cannot support the Quanrong because they are alien races, and they cannot support the Zhou Dynasty. After all, the relationship with the Zhou Dynasty is too bad.

"What about the others?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"I heard that a young man from Xu State died because of an accident, and the whole country mourned." Huang Gong thought for a while. "Young Master Zhang Cheng, you have not left for too long. No major happens in such a short time."

"Xu State? Dongyi?" Xu State should be one of the Dongyi, right? No, not an ordinary member, but should be said to be the strongest member of the Dongyi.

While speaking, the two of them had arrived at the door.

"By the way, Mr. Huang, I have something to do, please help me," said Zhang Cheng. "It's about Jia. Jia went to Xiaxu with me this time, which is a great help, so I want to liberate him from his slave identity." That's it, but I actually don't know what the legal procedures for liberating slaves should be done.

Mr. Huang frowned a little, but he immediately relaxed. In fact, although Jia's kindness was abominable, he was still a small person after all, and was not worth mentioning. Besides, this matter was actually Zhang Cheng's private affairs. To put it bluntly, it is the owner's property, just like pigs, sheep, cattle and horses. How the owner should deal with it is entirely a personal matter. Whether it is killed or released, he is just happy. Zhang Cheng's intention of doing this is probably because he is a little worried about Dr. Kunwu's displeasure.

After all, Doctor Kunwu was Zhang Cheng's lord. The person who demoted Doctor Kunwu to a slave, and Zhang Cheng released him, which was actually suspected of slapping the lord in the face.

"This is simple, Mr. Zhang Cheng doesn't need to care about it." Huang Gong said. "I can ask Doctor Kunwu for an order to publicly announce that Jia has been released." He was very sure Doctor Kunwu would not care about such trivial matters.

After sending the two people out of the castle, Mr. Huang turned back to see Doctor Kunwu. Doctor Kunwu sat upright in his seat and looked at Mr. Huang who came over. "Did you send them out?"

"Yes." Huang Gong said. "Young Master Zhang Cheng has no resentment. You may have been worried."

"I also know that he is not such a person," said Dr. Kunwu. "Zhang Chengzhongyong, otherwise how could he sacrifice himself to protect the prince... But I cannot make any mistakes in this matter, even a little mistake." After waiting for more than a thousand years, if he fails because of his carelessness, then Kunwu feels that he will not have the shame to meet his ancestors even if he dies.

"But you have already given a lot..." Huang Gong wanted to speak but stopped. It is normal for the ministers to die for the monarch and it is also a reasonable content in social moral norms. But even if it is true. Under the feudal system, the ministers' obligations to the monarch are not limitless. If Doctor Kunwu is defeated and fled today, it will be a reasonable order to stop Zhang Cheng from the rear even if he will die for a lifetime. But in this case, well, let Zhang Cheng take risks alone, it will be unruly.

Moreover, Zhang Cheng has no queen - let alone descendants, he is too young and has just won the crown, and he doesn't even have a wife. In this way, it is indeed too suspicious to let Zhang Cheng take the risk.

"This matter may be a life-and-death death, but it must be Zhang Cheng." Doctor Kunwu sat quietly on the top, the king and his ministers looked at each other for a long time without saying a word.

"I don't know if Zhurong's Blood is OK." Huang Gong suddenly said. If Zhang Cheng could become a god descendant, his strength would be significantly improved, at least it would be helpful. But the problem is that Zhurong's Blood will not be 100% successful. After all, if it can succeed so simply, then Zhurong's god descendants would not be rare.

"You can't expect too much," Doctor Kunwu could see it openly. "This is just a reward..." He stood up and came to the window.

"There will be a result within thirty days!" Looking at the view outside the window, Doctor Kunwu said firmly.

The opportunity for Kunwu to restore the country is at this moment! Everything is ready, and there is only one last condition left!

It is not a long way to go from Kunwu City to return to Zhang Cheng's fiefdom. Before dark, Zhang Cheng returned to his fiefdom. As mentioned earlier, this is a small village surrounded by earthen siege, but this is Zhang Cheng's home in this world.

Speaking of which, this home is actually very unfamiliar. But for some reason, it really gives Zhang Cheng a feeling of "home".

After entering the door, Zhang Cheng naturally did not need to give instructions to the details. A group of servants quickly dealt with the problem of carriages and horses. After all, even according to the standards of the earth, the area of ​​this house is not ordinary, not to mention the stables themselves. Hu Chen and the little girl were taken by Zhang Cheng and walked around the big mansion to learn about this residence.

In fact, by the standards of the earth, this house has no advantage except for a larger area. But if you stay in this world for a while and see that ordinary people live in "sheds", you will understand that this kind of house is the treatment of aristocrats in class society.

Later, Zhang Cheng gathered all the slaves in the yard. A group of slaves, led by their managers, were anxiously waiting for their masters to speak in the yard. Those who had no knowledge of this situation knew that there must be something big to be announced.

There were two strangers around Zhang Cheng, and the servants secretly discussed who these two foreign guests were.

The tall man is easier to guess. After all, this person looks a bit energetic and also carries weapons with him. Nowadays, the vassals have military obligations to the vassal, and Doctor Kunwu issued a mobilization order, and Zhang Cheng must at least have a chariot, which means at least a retainer who can serve as the right chariot, plus a driver (but this can be served by Jia). So this person should be the newly acquired retainer of the master. But who is that little girl? If it is Zhang Cheng's illegitimate son, then she is really too old. If it is Zhang Cheng's concubine, then she is really too young.

Zhang Cheng really had a big deal to say. He first announced that with the permission of Doctor Kunwu, Jia's whole family was abolished from slavery and re-election as a commoner. Not only that, Jia was also taken in as a retainer and used as a special driver for Zhang Cheng. As soon as this news came out, it was a joy from heaven for Jia's wife and children who were still wearing ochre clothes as slaves, and they cried happily on the spot.

Then Zhang Cheng introduced Hu Chen's name and announced that he was his retainer as Che You - this was completely expected. However, the little girl had a problem, because Zhang Cheng found it difficult to introduce the little girl's identity for a while. However, before Zhang Cheng could think of how to introduce it, the little girl spoke first.

"That...I am Zhang Cheng's wife!"
