After the negotiation in the room, the two brothers directly left the court and returned to Zhang family.
As the savior of Zhang Ping, it was absolutely reasonable for Zhang Tie to join Zhang family with a new identity. Additionally, given the series of actions that Zhang Yang took him to the Supreme Court, others would think that Zhang Ping wanted to recruit this stray warrior from Taixia Country into the subordinate of Jinwu Business Group.
The atmosphere in Jinwu City was still intense. Besides Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang, nobody else in Jinwu City knew that the key information about this assassination had long been passed out. This intense atmosphere was actually pretended to be seen by others. Not only that, when Zhang Yang left the interrogation room, he even issued an order — — from now on, lock the door of the interrogation room. Assign someone to guard it. Without his permission, nobody is allowed to enter the interrogation room to inquire about the suspect. Meanwhile, the court would continue to search for the accomplices and suspects of the assassin in Jinwu City. More relevant people would be brought to the court for inquiry and record...
After such an arrangement, besides Zhang Tie and Zhang Tie, nobody else knew that the suspect had long been dead, including the court.
Jinwu City was deceiving the enemy on purpose so as to make the Supreme Court of Taixia Country paralyze the enemy and gain more time for the Supreme Court's action in Zhongzhou Province. If there were spies of the opponent in Jinwu City, the opponent would only think that Jinwu City had not got any key information. Therefore, they would relax their vigilance.
Over the past 4 years, the culprit didn't take any action. Why did the culprit dare take action at this moment? 'What makes the culprit feel that he could make trouble again? '
On the way from the court to the inner city, Zhang Tie had been thinking about this question.
Zhang Tie faintly felt that it was a bad omen.
4 years ago, some people knew that Emperor Xuanyuan was missing. However, these days, this news had already spread over the streets and alleys of Taixia Country. Even commoners who were drinking tea in teahouses in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory had known it. Although they didn't talk about it in the public, they were all talking about it in private. Everybody was a bit worried about it. This kind of worry had already begun to ferment on all levels.
The price of grains in Northeast Military Region which had always been stable had started to rise in the best months. Meanwhile, the price of bulk materials such as steel and cement for building cities and battle fortresses in Youzhou Province had also started to rise. The price of medicaments and equipment had also increased to different extents. People around Class A cities started to move to Class A cities at a faster speed. The all-purpose medicament produced by Jinwu Business Group became more popular …
All of this reminded Zhang Tie of the situation at the beginning of the holy war in Waii Sub-continent. The two situations were so similar in many aspects. Therefore, even optimistic people became vigilant.
It was in this atmosphere that the assassination against the Zhang family took place. The invisible hand behind the scenes began to move again …
Until they entered the heavily guarded inner city of Jinwu City and saw the current scene of Zhang family, Zhang Tie forgot about these thoughts for the time being. After controlling his emotions, he prepared to meet his family members in another look.
…
In the mansion of Zhang family, Zhang Yang took Zhang Tie to see his family members.
Because of what happened today, all the members of Zhang family gathered together. Although it was a bit late, they were still awake. They were chatting with Zhang Tie's parents and waiting for Zhang Yang to come back.
In the parlor, Zhang Tie saw his dad, mom, his elder sisters-in-law, Linda, Alice, Beverly, Aimei and Aixue …
Next to Linda and the others, there were three boys and two girls. Every one of them looked like they were carved out of jade, lively and cute, and they all looked a bit like Li Yundong. This time, Linda and Alice gave birth to two little girls, who looked like angels. Beverly, Aimei and Aixue each gave birth to a boy. As Aimei and Aixue were twins, the two boys they gave birth to also looked like a pair of twins.
It turned out that Zhang Chenglei, Zhang Chengting and Zhang Chengpei had long left Youzhou Province and entered Heavens Fortune Sect after Zhang Tie's accident. They were recruited as apprentices by a grand elder of Heavens Fortune Sect and were trained by him in person. They could only return home once a year during the spring festival. Although Linda, Beverly, Fiona and Fiona were reluctant to send their kids away after Zhang Tie was assassinated.
Thankfully, after Zhang Tie's three elder brothers left, the other five younger brothers and sisters came back. Therefore, Linda, Beverly and Aixue didn't feel too sad.
In the past four years, Linda and the other two girls hadn't changed at all. Their faces and figures were still the same as they were several years ago, but they were more beautiful. Aimei and Aixue, who had become mothers, now had the air of mature noblewomen.
Zhang Tie's mom had two more wrinkles at her eye corners; however, she still looked good.
After throwing a glance at home and confirming that everyone was safe, Zhang Tie became reassured at once.
At the sight of a stranger on Zhang Yang's side, all the others in the room threw a few more glances at Zhang Tie. However, Zhang Tie had long changed his look completely. Even his parents and wives couldn't recognize him at the sight of his current look.
Zhang Yang took in a deep breath as he calmed his tone and pointed at Zhang Tie, "Dad, this is Xia Ping. He saved you at the city gate today …"
"Ahh, you saved me..." Zhang Tie's dad sprung up at once with a thrilled look.
Today at the city gate, as it was quite chaotic and Zhang Tie's dad was surrounded by several people, he only felt that he had passed through the gate of hell at the last moment. An icy, sharp wind blew towards him. The moment the sharp wind was about to enter his body, a patch of golden light appeared beside him and blocked the sharp wind with tinkling sounds. He didn't know what had happened at that moment. He didn't even see the faces of the assassin and the person who had saved him clearly before he was escorted away by two bodyguards by a vehicle.
Zhang Tie's dad stood up, followed by all the other members of Zhang family.
"When I traveled across Taixia Country, I was told that Jinwu City in Youzhou Province produced all-purpose medicament and was very prosperous. Therefore, I came here to take a look. I've not imagined that I could save you at the city gate today... ahem... ahem... it's just a piece of cake, don't worry about it, castellan!"
Although Zhang Tie had long prepared for it, he still felt pretty awkward when he uttered it. It was natural for a son to save his father; however, he became awkward after his dad thanked him.
"Although it's just a piece of cake, without your help, our Zhang family would be in a mess today!" Zhang Tie's mom opened her mouth as she told Zhang Yang solemnly, "As this hero has saved your dad today, we should try our best to satisfy his request. Our family must appreciate him heavily. He saved our dad's life. No matter how much we appreciate him, we should appreciate him heavily!"
"Yes, I see!" Zhang Yang nodded.
"Thank you so much for saving my father-in-law!" Zhang Tie's eldest sister-in-law opened her mouth as she bowed towards Zhang Tie solemnly.
The other sisters-in-law and wives also bowed towards Zhang Tie solemnly.
After that, Zhang Tie just sat on the chair with a solemn look and started to chat with his family members politely.
When they were chatting, all the kids on Linda's side wobbled towards them as they pulled Zhang Tie's clothes and surrounded him.
This scene made all the members of Zhang family click their tongues in wonder.
"It seems that this hero is destined to be with us. My grandchildren usually don't like to be close to strangers. It's my first time to see them approach someone whom they've met for the first time on their own initiative..." Zhang Tie's mom said with a smile.
"Hehheh, I also feel these little guys are cute …" Zhang Tie didn't know how to answer them at all. Although he had changed his look, the 5 little guys must have sensed it and would like to draw close to him due to the resonance of their bloodlines.
Watching this scene, Zhang Yang's eye light became a bit complex; however, he didn't say anything.
"Papa..." The moment Zhang Tie giggled, a little girl who was pulling his clothes corner raised her head and looked at him with her big, shiny eyes. She then called him crisply, "Papa..."
Zhang Tie's heart pounded as the entire room became quiet at once. Closely after that, they all felt a bit embarrassed while the genial smiles on the faces of Linda and the other wives disappeared at once.
Zhang Tie's mom let out a sigh, "Linda, it's too late. You could take Chenglu and the other wives to have a rest..."
Not until Linda, Beverly and Fiona left with the 5 kids did Zhang Tie move his eyes away from those kids. When those kids left, they even turned around and looked at Zhang Tie reluctantly. The little girl even had tears in her eyes. Even Linda, Beverly and Fiona's eyes turned a bit red when they left...
My grandchildren are really pitiful. Although we don't lack clothes and food, they have not seen their dad since they were born. As they grow up and become sensible, they always ask their mom where their dad is every day … "Zhang Tie's mom said gloomily. Zhang Tie's mom said in a gloomy tone," I'm sorry, hero. My grandsons and granddaughters are really pitiful.
After hearing this, Zhang Tie tightly clenched his fists as he felt a sharp pain in the softest part of his heart...
...
In the evening, Zhang Tie stayed in a courtyard in the inner city of Taixia Country. Zhang Yang escorted Zhang Tie here.
After leaving his family members, Zhang Tie had been silent all the way. Zhang Yang seemed to sense Zhang Tie's mood; therefore, he didn't speak either. Not until they entered the room of Zhang Tie's courtyard did Zhang Tie force a smile as he told Zhang Yang in a secret way, "Elder brother, don't worry about my affairs. Without a favorable turn, the Supreme Court of Taixia Country would not slap its own face in a short period. I'm already satisfied to see you again after returning to Youzhou Province …"
Zhang Yang nodded with a solemn look. He didn't know how to comfort Zhang Tie; instead, Zhang Tie comforted him.
If someone told Zhang Yang that money was not omnipotent in Blackhot City, Zhang Yang would definitely slap that person's face. At that moment, money was omnipotent for Zhang Yang. With money, he would have a house, social status, power and everything else. However, today, Zhang Yang understood that although money was very important, it was not omnipotent. In Taixia Country, some things could not be solved by money for a long time.
After talking with Zhang Tie for a short while, Zhang Yang left the courtyard with a lot of worries.
...
At midnight, Zhang Tie couldn't fall asleep. Therefore, he put on his clothes and stayed in the attic of the courtyard, listening to the crickets and looking into the distance through the window...
'Those little guys should have fallen asleep! '
When he imagined the cute looks of those little guys in sleep, Zhang Tie felt warm inside once again.
Zhang Tie was not cold-hearted; additionally, the crispy "Papa..." made Zhang Tie's heart soften at once. Even though Zhang Tie had promoted to an earth knight, if he owed the most important person in his life and made the most important person's life incomplete, it would be meaningless for him to be an earth knight and shock the entire province.
Zhang Tie looked at the direction of Zhongzhou Province as a whim occurred to his mind...
'Will I have a favorable turn in that direction? '
At this moment, Zhang Tie didn't know that what would happen in Zhongzhou Province in a few hours would not only be a favorable turn for him, but also shock the entire world and arouse a billow in Taixia Country...
