Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 539 - 502: Military Chief Zhang, Save Me!

Chapter 539: Chapter 502: Military Chief Zhang, Save Me!

Early in the morning, Zhang San took Hu Xingxiang to visit Spring Breeze Town.

After all, the scenery near Lingwu was grim and unattractive.

Zhang San thought that bringing Hu Xingxiang to Spring Breeze Town would definitely please her.

However, upon hearing that Zhang San was going out, the maids naturally wanted to follow.

Once the maids mobilized, Ximen Jinxing received the news and thus, using the excuse that his four aunts had never been to the north, he also decided to accompany Zhang San.

If it weren’t for Bai Dushu, who was now the deputy captain of Changsun Bubai’s guard, needing to stay with Changsun Bubai, perhaps Hu Jing’an would also have wanted to come along.

Thus, what was supposed to be a date between Zhang San and Hu Xingxiang, turned into Zhang San leading a tour group full of women.

Although when Zhang San led everyone out of the camp, the soldiers looked enviously at his side, populated by the Cat-eared Lady and beautiful women, including even four robust women resembling Golden Body Arhats.

But Zhang San really didn’t want to bring so many people along with him!

Zhang San just wanted to go out and have fun with just Hu Xingxiang.

The group soon arrived at Spring Breeze Town.

Upon reaching Spring Breeze Town, it was natural to first show everyone the Town Martial Office’s base and then find ways to let everyone explore places they were interested in, so Zhang San could enjoy some free time with Hu Xingxiang.

Just as everyone reached the entrance of the Town Martial Office’s base in Spring Breeze Town, Xiong Heitu came out to greet them and invited everyone inside, then arranged for milk tea to be prepared for everyone.

Everyone sat down and immediately started drinking.

At that moment, Chu Can walked over and whispered in Zhang San’s ear, "The task is completed."

Zhang San nodded in satisfaction.

The ambush on the enemy troop transporting provisions was led by Chu Can drawing Tujue Martial Artists, as the Great Sui Martial Artists had frequently hunted Tujue Martial Artists on the steppes recently, and the Tujue Martial Artists were bound to retaliate.

Zhang San had Chu Can find some Tujue Martial Artists and lead them near the transport troop, and these Tujue Martial Artists would naturally strike.

Once they finished killing, Chu Can would then drive them away.

They could only flee with their severely wounded comrades.

Thus, there arose the scene where White Cloud and others happened upon the slaughtered convoy yet, curiously, all the belongings were still intact.

The reason why White Cloud took that route was also arranged by Zhang San.

The matters that followed were simple, since Mei Fei was biased towards his relatives, and Shen Buxing, that old man, was particularly unprincipled, seeing profit without the willingness to share even a penny, thinking only of keeping it all for himself.

Adding to this, Chu Can disguised himself and spread the news around that Shen Buxing had embezzled the Martial Artists’ rewards and spoils of war, so last night, Shen Buxing’s camp must have been really lively.

Especially since Zhang San had also sent someone to find the Second Hall Master of the Wind Divine Hall, Jia Tulong.

Zhang San knew Jia Tulong was a Martial fanatic, capable in terms of training but perhaps not so in strategizing.

And from the last meeting, Zhang San had perceived him to be impulsive and volatile.

Such a man, lured by the Heavenly Punishment Sect members disguised as Martial Artists into Shen Buxing’s camp, was bound to create conflict.

If conflict erupted, that would be the time to watch Mei Fei become the joke.

Thus, Zhang San had Chu Can sit down and began to calmly and leisurely sip milk tea with everyone.

"Speaking of which, although Spring Breeze Town is just a town, there are many places to visit here. Whether it’s the snack street or the tavern, they are all quite nice. Particularly, the large market here sells all sorts of things, even Tujue slaves. Ximen Jinxing, if your aunts need maids, you could also have a look at the market."

Zhang San had already planned to let Chu Can go dine at the tavern later, on the public account of the Town Martial Office.

Ximen Jinxing led the four aunts to the large market.

He let the maids from the Cat-eared Lady group go to the snack street, paying for it himself.

Then he could stroll around freely with Hu Xingxiang.

Perfect!

However, just as this wonderful plan was about to start, Xiong Heitu rushed in frantically and said to Zhang San with a bow, "Military Chief, something terrible has happened. Second Hall Master Jia Tulong from the Wind Divine Hall requests an audience—it seems like a significant issue has arisen."

Zhang San furrowed his brow. With last night’s trouble, by all reasoning, they shouldn’t have come to find him until at least this afternoon.

Why are they here already?

"Hall Master Jia is no outsider; bring him in quickly."

Soon, a blood-covered Jia Tulong strode in.

Following Jia Tulong were the travel-worn Feng Bubian and Feng Wenqing.

Seeing this situation, Zhang San immediately said to those nearby, "Everyone, if you have things to do, go ahead and roam around. I need to handle some matters here first."

Knowing that Zhang San had urgent business, everyone left.

Ximen Jinxing finally seized the opportunity.

Others were outsiders, but being a Martial Artist from the Town Martial Office, it was natural for him to stay.

Even when Hu Xingxiang left, he deliberately moved closer to Zhang San’s side.

Zhang San, seeing Jia Tulong covered in blood, curiously asked, "Hall Master Jia, have you been injured during training? Do you need our Town Martial Office to find some Miraculous Pills for you?"

The last time Jia Tulong met Zhang San, he was very arrogant.

But now, he suddenly knelt down before Zhang San with a thud.

Feng Bubian also quickly stepped forward and knelt down alongside Jia Tulong.

"Military Chief Zhang, save us!"

Zhang San pretended to know nothing and curiously asked, "What do you mean by this, Hall Master Jia? Take your time, don’t panic. What exactly happened?"

Feng Bubian then spoke, "Military Chief Zhang, my elder brother... he killed someone!"

Hearing this, Zhang San said gravely, "A life for a life, this is not easy to handle! However, if the victim were a Tujue Martial Artist, or if it was a citizen of Great Sui but it turns out they had colluded with Tujue, naturally, there wouldn’t be much problem. After all, a Great Sui Martial Artist who kills a traitor is ridding Great Sui of a scourge. There’s still room for maneuver here."

Feng Bubian, bowing his head, said, "My elder brother killed neither a Tujue Martial Artist nor, presumably... a traitor colluding with Tujue."

Zhang San continued to feign ignorance, asking, "Then, who was the victim?"

Feng Bubian probably had nothing good left to say and now looked towards Jia Tulong, who was turning red with tension.

Jia Tulong, realizing he could not remain silent, sighed deeply, looked up at Zhang San, knocked his head on the ground eight times, and then said with respectful trembling, "Military Chief Zhang, I... I accidentally killed... killed... General Shen Buxing of the Shuofang Army!"

Although Zhang San was aware that Shen Buxing would clash with the Shuofang Army,

he was still shocked to hear that Shen Buxing had been killed.

After all, according to his own script, at most it would have just been some conflict breaking out, with a few casualties among the Martial Artists and soldiers, making it tough for Mei Fei.

But now, Shen Buxing was dead!

Jia Tulong! You aren’t Jia Tulong! You’re a real tiger!
