In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

"Please rest assured, this is not a big deal!"

As a descendant of a deceased friend, Master Mingchen still cares about this matter.

Besides, they were destined to be together, and she wouldn't mind helping Ali once in a while if she could lend a hand.

"Thank you, Master!"

Looking at his granddaughter, Yin Tianzheng slowly stepped forward, a kind and gentle smile on his face, and chuckled softly:

"Ali!"

"grandfather?"

Seeing Ali suddenly turn and run away, Yin Tianzheng quickly said:

“Ali, only Grandpa is here. Your bastard father doesn’t know you’re here, and Grandpa won’t tell him you’re here either.”

"Really?"

The little girl stopped and looked at Yin Tianzheng suspiciously. Her fear of Eagle King mostly stemmed from hatred.

Yin Tianzheng undoubtedly still loved her very much, but as the leader of the Tianying Sect, he was very busy and could only have a few days a year to reunite with his granddaughter.

"Of course, I'm just kidding, Grandpa is a puppy."

Seeing that Ali was gradually relaxing her guard, Yin Tianzheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this scene, Master Mingchen immediately thought of his own daughter, whom he hadn't seen for a year.

Moreover, given her current appearance, mother and daughter might not recognize each other when they meet.

Chapter 210 The Dragon-Elephant Steed Pulls the Cart with Divine Power; Wen Jue Blocks the Way

"Young Master"

Returning to the Qiantang River by waterway, Zhangjia Wharf was already filled with large trucks ready to go.

This time, the Zhang family prepared a total of fifty-two carriages, fifty of which were ice carts specifically for transporting seafood.

Two large, high-quality steel wagons, led by a dragon-elephant steed, were specifically used to transport gold.

A Shire horse is a draft horse, but if used well, it can be a brand name.

Millions of gold, plus jewelry and antiques, would require nearly thirty carriages, but now there are only two. This is bound to cause a sensation throughout the land.

First, the gold was loaded onto carts. After the boxes of gold were carried out, the nobles and wealthy merchants who heard the news were all extremely envious.

The Murong family gifted them an old house, from which the Zhang family immediately found over a million taels of gold.

With the addition of jewelry and antiques, the value was worth tens of thousands of gold coins. The news moved everyone present.

The Zhang family's business is unbeatable!

This was information deliberately leaked by Zhang Xiaoshan to cover up the Iron Pagoda.

To everyone's astonishment, two Zhang family experts lifted the box and poured the gold inside into the steel carriage.

The dazzling gold stunned everyone.

One box after another, and after half of them were loaded, they were transferred to another horse-drawn cart for loading.

In a short time, at least a million taels of gold were loaded onto the carriage, and then something covered one side with antiques and jewelry.

After the gold, jewelry, and antiques were loaded onto the truck, they were escorted by four top masters—Qing Sha, Lan Sha, Qiu Qianren, and Jue Zhi!

One person each in front, behind, left, and right!

Qiu Qianren happened to come to the Zhang family seeking medicine.

Seeing that four top-notch experts were escorting them, the greedy crowd was deterred.

What shocked everyone even more was that a million taels of gold, enough for at least twenty-odd taels of cargo, was being pulled by only two carriages, and with the steel bodies, the two slow horses were barely managing to carry it.

The two carriages left a thick wheel mark on the bluestone slab as they passed.

This is a bluestone slab, which even heavy trucks carrying three or four thousand kilograms cannot leave a mark on, but this time the Zhang family exceeded the weight limit by ten times.

Such immense strength elevates the value of the Dragon Elephant Colt to a new level.

"discharge!"

Next came the big catches: a five-zhang (approximately 10 meters) giant squid, an oarfish, a three-zhang (approximately 10 meters) tuna, and a ten-zhang (approximately 3 meters) enormous grouper...

The magnitude of this harvest, compared to the previous gold purchases, is a different kind of shock.

Every time Zhang Xiaoshan went sea fishing, he never returned empty-handed.

Forty out of fifty ice carts were used to transport the ice directly to Hongfu.

Finally, Zhang Xiaoshan left behind an ice cart and, amidst everyone's curiosity, unloaded the most precious dragonfish meat.

With Zhang Xiaoshan personally overseeing the procession, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this carriage was the real treasure; it had only been treated as 'trash' before.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoshan brought it directly to the Zhang family, showing no intention of sharing it at all.

Only the goods from the Red Mansion are for sale.

The items that enter the Zhang family are the real treasures, but unless the Zhang family takes them out themselves, they are basically impossible to get out again.

"Let's go."

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, a loud shout blocked Zhang Xiaoshan's path. The newcomer wore a patchwork monk's robe, had a fair complexion, and exuded a gentle and refined air.

"Amitabha Buddha, Wenjue greets the young master!"

"Master, have you come to inquire about Master Xingyin?"

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Wen Jue and immediately understood the purpose of his visit.

"Indeed, this humble monk went to Zhuxian Town to retrieve my senior brother's body, but after making inquiries from various sources, I learned that my senior brother was only captured, not killed."

Wenjue didn't understand what was wrong with Zhang Jia being Xingyin, but at the same time, she couldn't just stand by and watch Xingyin be arrested.

Many martial arts practitioners were also somewhat surprised when they heard Wen Jue's words.

Under the guillotine, countless people died and were injured; were there any survivors?

After all, too many people have died. Even if those masters are dead, it doesn't matter who is who anymore.

Unless someone like the White-browed Eagle King or Wenjue goes to collect the corpse.

Yingxia was the leader of the assassins with the Divine Arm Crossbow, so naturally the Sixth Prince would not suspect that she was alive; and the Western Xia First-Class Hall would certainly not come to collect the corpses of the dead.

Therefore, Wenjue only came to question her after Xingyin was arrested.

"The Master of Sexual Sounds has joined the Blood Droplets, so there will only be Sexual Sounds from the Blood Droplets, and no Sexual Sounds from Mount Wutai!"

"Senior brother joined the Blood Droplets?"

Sure enough, it went in the direction he least wanted to go.

The Blood Droplets are terrifying; they are a specialized assassin organization. Wen Jue knows Xing Yin's personality; once she embarks on that path, there is no turning back.

· ········Requesting flowers· ········

"Young Master Zhang..."

"I know what the master wants to say."

Only the blood-dripping poison can cleanse the transgression of sexual speech.

"If you want Xingyin to leave the Blood Droplets, then all you'll get are the heads of the Blood Droplets!"

Hiss...

For Zhang Xiaoshan, who has always been gentle and refined, to utter such words speaks volumes about the absolute rules.

Wenjue knew that Zhang Xiaoshan was not joking, and couldn't help but sigh and chant a Buddhist prayer.

He couldn't possibly want Xingyin to turn back, and then let her lose her life; that's impossible.

"Sorry to bother you, Wenjue!"

"Master, walk slowly."

Seeing the sexual sensation fade away, Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but shake his head.

Not far away, Zhuge Zhengwo, Hengdao, the Sixth Prince, and others all frowned.

......... ...... ...

With the addition of the Venerable Xingyin to the Blood Droplets, and Qiu Qianren who had just escorted the carriage, it's unknown who else has secretly joined the Blood Droplets or the Zhang family.

Clearly, the Zhang family now has at least two more top-tier experts.

Thinking of this, they became even more wary of the Zhang family.

The appearance of the Flying Guillotine always resulted in immense carnage, even if there were always legitimate reasons.

But under the dripping guillotine, there are no survivors.

The methods of killing, and the way they were driven to extinction, were both terrifying.

"Young master!"

"Uncle Yang, this is dragonfish meat. Take ten pieces and put them in the ice room. No one is allowed to touch it without Father's order."

"Yes, Master!"

Meanwhile, after Zhang Xiaoshan took a piece of dragonfish meat, he had Masters Juexin and Juezhi escort the group of women back to the new villa.

Since the two monks were vegetarians, it was naturally inappropriate for them to have this lavish meal at the Zhang family's house.

Inside the Zhang family's vault at this time.

Under Zhang Yuan's personal supervision, each newly received gold, jewelry, and antique was recorded and verified.

Looking at the mess of gold and jewelry, Zhang Yuan knew that Zhang Xiaoshan was flaunting his wealth so absurdly for advertising purposes, using the name of the Dragon Elephant Steed, but he was still a little angry.

It wasn't until the steward, Uncle Yang, took over the accounting in place of Zhang Yuan that Zhang Yuan, with his large belly, came to the hall.

Looking at Zhang Xiaoshan preparing sashimi in the hall, the pieces of fish meat, which looked like jelly, clearly looked extraordinary.

Meanwhile, Qiu Qianren and the River Fiends were also looking at Zhang Xiaoshan.

Chapter 211 The Cunning Little Fox and the Hound's Chance

"Azure Fiend, Blue Fiend, the Zhang family has always rewarded those who have rendered meritorious service. Father has already given you the Nine Yin Manual."

"After this highly nourishing dragonfish meal, you may now retreat into seclusion for three months to comprehend the martial arts principles outlined above. Upon emerging, your martial arts skills will undoubtedly advance to a higher level within a short period."

"Yes, son!"

The two Fiends from the river valley looked respectful.

They had already seen the contents of the general outline and understood the profoundness of the martial arts techniques contained therein, which would greatly benefit them.

Besides, Zhang Xiaoshan said that this dragonfish meat is highly nourishing, so it must be good.

With this in mind, entering a state of seclusion would be even more advantageous.

"As for Chief Qiu, Master Fo has already explained the situation."

Chief Qiu is escorting gold this time, and all he needs is a mere dose of Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment. The Zhang family has no choice but to accept it, and Chief Qiu can go to the new residence to pick up the medicine tomorrow.

Furthermore, the Zhang family can cooperate with the Valley of Heartbreak, with the Valley providing floral essential oils. The Zhang family will certainly not treat the Valley of Heartbreak unfairly!

"Thank you, sir!"

Not only did they find a solution for the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment, but by associating with the Zhang family, the Valley of Heartbreak had also secured a fortune.

The Zhang family's business acumen is undeniable.

As for the Valley of Heartbreak, it has few other things, but flowers are its most abundant local specialty.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan noticed Zhang Yuan's arrival, and suddenly remembered something, so he took out a marriage contract with the code "963".

"Father, this is a marriage contract that I signed with the Wang family of Taihu!"

"Marriage certificate?"

Zhang Yuan's brows furrowed, veins bulging. "It was an arranged marriage."
