Zhang Tie heard all the words of Zhang Ping.
'Beautify the city wall? '
It sounded a bit shocking. Actually, Zhang Tie knew that his dad could really do that.
"A few days ago, I heard that many business groups in Jinwu City said that the city wall of Jinwu City was too high like a battle fortress with a heavy killing intent. I suggest we plant some maple vines along the foot of the city wall. When the maple vines grow out and climb onto the city wall, the city wall would not look that terrifying..." Zhang Ping made a suggestion after looking around at the foot of the city wall.
After saying this, Zhang Ping also knew that the city wall was not an ordinary place. Many of the arrangements here had military considerations. So after he finished speaking, he turned his head and asked an officer in military uniform next to him, "Will planting a circle of maple vines under the city wall affect the city's defense equipment?"
"Maple vines could reach about 15 m high along the city wall; however, the city-defense equipment on the lowest level of the city wall of Jinwu Castle is higher than 30 m. Additionally, as maple vines grow along the city wall, they could not hide people. Therefore, it's not a problem to plant maple vines under the city wall!" The commissioned officer answered respectfully.
"Fine, let's plant maple vines then!" Zhang Ping became pretty happy.
Hearing his dad's voice in the distance, Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside.
His dad's tone and facial expression reminded Zhang Tie of the scene when his dad took him to whitewash the fence of his backyard in Blackhot City. Perhaps, his dad had already treated Jinwu City as his home. Therefore, as the castellan of Blackhot City, he always liked to take care of it by himself.
Although Zhang family's business was not what it used to be, his dad was still the same as before.
If his father was more thoughtful, he should have asked for the officer's opinion first, and then he would have made a decision. Only then would he be able to show the authority of the castellan. However, his father did the opposite. He said that he wanted to plant the maple vines first, and then he asked for the officer's opinion. This seemed normal, and there was nothing wrong with it. However, if the officer objected, would his father listen or not? If his dad didn't listen to him, he would be obstinate; if he listened to him, his dignity and influence as the castellan would gradually decline in the eyes of others.
Of course, his dad was not an obstinate person. If that commissioned officer objected to it, Zhang Tie was sure that his dad would withdraw his idea frankly and think of other methods. He would not even notice the utterly different effects and problems of the two sentences.
Although it was a detail, it was the essence of being an official and a director.
'Dad could at most be a factory director or a manager. It might be his limit to be a castellan of a city. However, in Youzhou Province, with the protection of Huaiyuan Palace and the support of my elder brother, it seems that my dad is pretty comfortable being a castellan in my own territory. '
After not seeing him for four years, his father's appearance hadn't changed much. He just seemed to be living a more pampered life. His complexion was not bad, and he was always surrounded by people. He was carefully served, and he gave off the feeling of an old man in high spirits.
Zhang Tie didn't expect his dad to be a dragon. At the sight of his dad's look, Zhang Tie felt much reassured.
After taking a short circle outside the city, Zhang Ping checked the situation outside the city. After talking with those people for a short while, he was going to go back.
During this period, many people at the city gate stopped and glanced at these "big figures" in Jinwu City out of curiosity. The two teams of soldiers were maintaining the order at the city gate. Zhang Tie was also watching his dad in the crowd. Although he had a lot to say to his dad, he didn't show any other emotion besides curiosity.
Zhang Ping and the people around him walked and talked as they walked towards the parking lot …
Right then, Zhang Tie suddenly felt someone's qi surging in the crowd. Closely after that, a killing qi burst out.
If not a knight who had the super perceptive ability of knight's consciousness, he could almost not find anything wrong in the crowd.
...
"Kill …" Amidst the crowd at the city gate, a person dressed like an ordinary merchant suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and pounced towards Zhang Ping at lightning speed.
"Protect the castellan..."
Although the man was fast, the bodyguards around Zhang Ping were not to be trifled with. Almost as soon as the man jumped out, one of the bodyguards who was on guard in the surroundings noticed him. He instantly bounced up and rushed toward the man. When the man was still dozens of meters away from Zhang Ping, he was intercepted.
Right inside the city gate, the two powerful battle qis collided with each other, causing a loud sound.
When powerhouses collided with each other, those onlookers who were going to enter the city were affected in a split second. Some innocent people were sent flying away by the impact wave of the battle qis and crashed onto the wall of the city gate, uttering miserable shrieks...
After such a sudden change, the city gate became chaotic at once. Most of the onlookers were flurried as they started to run in disorder. The quality of the two teams of fighters at the city gate also manifested at once. Almost the moment the command "Protect the castellan" sounded, the two teams of fighters had formed a human wall around Zhang Ping, isolating him from those commoners who started to run in disorder.
Zhang Ping slightly changed his face; however, he didn't look too flurried; instead, under the protection of his bodyguards, he sped up and walked towards the car. The commissioned officer who talked with him directly rushed towards the two people who were fighting and wanted to take down the assassin as soon as possible.
At the same time, the alarm at the city gate rang...
Right at this moment, just as Zhang Ping was about to get on the car, an ordinary person who was close to the car and trying to escape from the crowd saw Zhang Ping and immediately opened his mouth. Countless flying lights flew out of his mouth and enveloped Zhang Ping in an instant.
Those flying lights moved extremely fast. Additionally, they were extremely powerful. The two powerhouses on Zhang Ping's side had already released their protective battle qis to protect Zhang Ping. However, those flying lights directly penetrated through their protective battle qis and arrived in front of Zhang Ping in a split second...
