Undead Valkyrie

Chapter 907
On the long street, there were very few warriors walking, and occasionally one or two servants or servants in light-colored clothes, walking in a hurry and rarely making a sound.Occasionally, when a sedan chair passed by, they all retreated to one side to salute respectfully, and dared not continue on their way until the sedan chair left.

Dongcheng is a place where the rich and powerful of the masters live together, and those who can live in this long street are all important figures in the Tongli Empire, and behind them are all high-ranking people.

And at the end of this long street, there is a majestic Zhumen, but the gate is closed at the moment, revealing a sense of coldness.

There is a plaque hanging on the gate of the mansion, and the book is a big Zhang character.

The father-in-law's family, whose ancestors were the founding heroes of the Tongli Empire, although he has long since retreated behind the scenes and did not know his life or death, but if there is no real news of his death, countless powerful enemies will be afraid in secret and dare not act recklessly.

There are also noble girls who enter the palace, gain the favor and trust of the child master, and have a respected status.

The current patriarch of the Zhang family, Zhang Long, is the prominent Shanggong of Tong Power Empire.His second younger brother, Zhang Xing, is a senior member of the military department, and there are countless other prominent children.

Among them, Zhanglong's two sons are the most outstanding. The eldest son, Zhang Zhanguan, is the commander of the imperial army and commands tens of thousands of troops.The second son, Zhang Ling, was not as successful as his elder brother, but he also achieved the position of commander of the imperial army.

Such a husband's family is naturally a colossus, possessing a pivotal power in the entire child power empire, they can look down upon princes!
On weekdays, there must be a lot of traffic outside the mansion of the husband's family. It is also a great sight to see the long line of beggars and congratulatory gifts.However, following His Majesty's anger, he deprived Zhang Zhan of the Imperial Guard's position as the commander-in-chief, and Zhang Ling was buried in the assassination of assassins. The whole family of the husband seemed to have been hit hard, and the family suddenly became deserted.Even the family members of the husband's family have been reminded during this period that they should never step into the husband's family unless necessary.

The whole husband's family fell into silence.

Facing the anger of the child master, even with the power of her husband's family, she can only choose to bow down and pray for forgiveness.

The main hall of the husband's family.

After sitting on the throne, Zhang Longduan, the head of the husband's family, was wearing loose clothes and had a majestic face. At this moment, his brows were slightly frowned, and his face was slightly dignified.The head of the second family, Zhang Xingduan, sat down at the head of the table, with his back straight, his whole body exuding a meticulous sternness, and his face was rigid without any emotional fluctuations.

"Your Majesty is probably already aware of it, and even has solid evidence in his hands, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a heavy hand." Zhang Long said slowly, his brows frowning uncontrollably.

Zhang Xing was expressionless, and he was silent for a while before slowly opening his mouth.

"Your Majesty holds all the power. If Your Majesty wants to investigate, nothing can be hidden from him."

"But Zhangzhan is my husband's family's hope in the army. If His Majesty takes him down, my husband's family's years of hard work will be wiped away."

"This incident is a bit too much. Has this incident affected my little sister?"

Zhang Long nodded, stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, his face showed a tired look.

"This time, she must not escape His Majesty's suspicion. Since Zhang Zhan was dealt with, His Majesty has not stepped into the little sister's palace for nearly three months."

"Because of this matter, my husband's family has angered His Majesty, if it weren't for the old ancestor's affection and the younger sister's status in the palace, I am afraid that the outcome of the matter would not be as simple as winning the battle and cutting off my husband's family's power in the army. Regarding this Mrs. Zhi, we can't continue to take action." Zhang Xing said in a deep voice, and deep in his eyes, he couldn't help but give birth to a trace of worry.

"Well, I've ordered it down, and my husband's family won't take any action on this matter."

However, the predicament was still in front of them, and the two fell silent for a while.

At this moment, the restriction in the hall suddenly flickered, Zhang Long's eyes darkened slightly, he waved his hand to release the restriction, and spoke in a deep voice.

"What happened, you want to disturb the old man at this time?"

"Master, Gu Lun, who followed Master Zhangling, is back and is waiting to see you in the side hall." Outside the door, the butler's respectful voice came.

A chill appeared in Zhang Long's eyes for a moment. Although Zhang Ling was not his most valued son, after years of training, the relationship between father and son was naturally much stronger than other sons.What's more, Zhangling's death this time is really strange.

"Let him come in and talk back."

"Yes."

The footsteps went away in a hurry, and a moment later, Gu Lun stepped in, walked quickly in front of the two real power holders of the husband's family, fell to his knees, and said respectfully.

"Gu Lun sees the Patriarch, sees the Second Patriarch!" He bowed his head deeply, showing enough respect, but his face couldn't help turning slightly pale.

"Gu Lun, what happened to Zhang Ling's death? Tell the old man the truth, and don't hide anything!" Zhang Long said in a low voice, with a cold glow in his eyes.Although they have learned about the report, they are vague and don't know the specifics.

Gu Lun's heart trembled slightly, he knew that now was the critical moment of his life and death, so naturally he didn't dare to delay.

"Reporting to Patriarch, the Huo Clan intercepted and killed the warriors on the agreed day, blasting away the formation of wormhole ships with fire-breaking arrows, and filled the air with black mist." This person spoke respectfully, and fully explained the events of the day.

"That's how things are, and my subordinates dare not hide anything."

The complexions of Zhang Long and Zhang Xing turned extremely ugly in an instant. The leader of the Tian family dispatched Huo Nanlian to assassinate him, which had exceeded their expectations, but a person who could fight Huo Nanlian and kill Huo Nanlian suddenly appeared on the wormhole ship, and would kill Huo Nanlian. A person who is forced to retreat!

This person is the biggest change in the whole plan!

Who is he?

Zhang Long and Zhang Xing's thoughts turned suddenly, and they didn't know where they thought, their faces became extremely ugly at the same time, and they could see the shock in each other's hearts when they looked at each other.

Could it be that the person who shot suddenly was a martial artist sent by His Majesty?
Other than that, they couldn't think of any other possibility.And in this way, where did His Majesty get the evidence, there is a reasonable explanation for severely punishing the husband's family.

Thinking of this, the two felt a chill in their hearts.Fortunately, this time, they only had a tacit cooperation with the Fire Clan, and did not have any other interests involved. Otherwise, if His Majesty would notice, even with the face of the ancestor and the friendship of the younger sister, I am afraid that waiting for them at this moment is the last time. Not even good results!
For a while, both of them had chosen to acquiesce to Zhangling's death.

Since it was His Majesty who made the move, so what if they knew about it?Perhaps this is also a bloody warning to my husband's family, don't make other attempts to challenge his endurance limit.

The atmosphere in the hall was suddenly tense.

Gu Lun's face was pale, and there was a dense layer of sweat on his forehead. The lining of his robe was completely wet with sweat, and his whole mind was shrouded in fear. At this moment, he gritted his teeth and spoke in a deep voice.

"Patriarch, this subordinate suspects that Mrs. Zhi's subsequent announcement of the cause of the young master's death is purely fabricated, and there must be another reason for the death of the young master Zhangling!"

Zhang Long frowned and spoke slowly.

"What did you find, tell me!"

"My subordinates sorted out the young master's body afterwards, and sensed a panacea in the young master's body that had not yet fully melted. Obviously, after being severely injured, Master Zhangling did not die immediately, and there is still room for refining the panacea in his body to recover Injuries. But after that, someone shot and killed the young master."

"You mean, Zhangling was killed after being injured?"

"The subordinates are not absolutely sure, but deduced based on the facts, this is the fact."

Zhang Long frowned, his face was gloomy, and the expression in his eyes was uncertain for a while.If His Majesty sent warriors to attack, and if he sensed the change in Zhangling, he would just kill him directly, and he would definitely not be given any chance to resist.From this point of view, it seems that his death really had something else hidden.

"Gu Lun, do you know something? Just ask. If you can provide useful information, the old man will forgive you the death penalty."

Gu Lun was ecstatic in his heart, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face, and his expression became more respectful.

"After the events of that day, my subordinates did not dare to show any strangeness, but secretly conducted a detailed investigation of the events of that day. The subordinates asked the guards who survived the madam's place when the assassination happened, and they all sensed that Madam Cong Zhi The burst of tyrannical aura fluctuations should be Qingyun Gong Meng Tianchen's shot to repel the assassin. But after the incident, this matter was never mentioned at all, but the young master died unfortunately in order to protect Mrs. Zhi from fighting with the assassin. Among them , there must be something hidden! Therefore, the subordinates boldly speculated that perhaps because the fire warriors were blocked by mysterious warriors that day, the young master went to assassinate his wife in person unwilling to fail, but was repelled by Meng Tianchen, and was found by this person. Quietly kill Master Zhangling!"

Naturally, he did not make this deduction out of thin air, but he made a judgment after collecting a lot of evidence and adding his understanding of Zhangling's mind.

Yu Luo, afraid that his deduction would not be convincing enough, he continued to speak.

"Master Zhangling had a grudge against Meng Tianchen when he was in the frontier army camp. He definitely had sufficient motivation to do this. Moreover, Mrs. Zhi's explanation after the incident was more like an assassin who wanted to cover up the death of the young master. body, and then wash away the suspicion on Meng Tianchen."

Zhang Long and Zhang Xing's faces were serious. They were quite clear about Zhang Ling's disposition. At this moment, his temper and his previous preparations would allow him to see through the obstruction of the black mist, and he would not be willing to fail when things were blocked. It is very possible to take risks!

Gu Lun's inference is very likely to be true.

Thinking of this at the moment, the hearts of the two of them were icy cold.

Fortunately, Zhang Ling did not succeed, otherwise, if he really killed his wife, what awaited the husband's family would be His Majesty's wrath, and the whole husband's family would be burned to ashes in this anger!
Meng Tianchen stopped Zhang Ling and killed him, so that there is no proof of the death at the moment, coupled with Mrs. Zhi's remarks afterwards, the conclusion of Zhang Ling's death has been sealed.Even if they knew that the matter was done secretly by the husband's family, they would no longer be able to criticize the husband's family for this matter in the future.

Calculated in such a careful way, Meng Tianchen's killing of Zhang Ling was actually beneficial and harmless to the Zhang family.

But the husband's family obviously wouldn't be grateful for this, no matter what, Meng Tianchen killed Zhangling, they would definitely not let it go!
"Okay, I think you have done a lot of credit for following Zhangling, and it is also a credit to find out the cause of his death this time. This old man will spare your life. But you will stay behind closed doors for the time being, and we will talk about it after avoiding the limelight." .”

Zhang Long's eyes flickered slightly, and he said lightly.
