Chapter 23: Dormant Grudge (3) Huaxia Book Library Net

  Liu Zhang heard this, and couldn't help but slightly furrow his brow, as if deep in thought. But Wu Meng was emotionally agitated, panting heavily, and An Qi'er quickly knelt down beside him, stretching out her hand to help Grandfather calm down.

  “…I couldn't believe my eyes at that moment, and for a while, I only felt cold hands and feet. I swung my knife and slashed at the beast. Haha, perhaps it was the heavens opening their eyes to see that the beast wasn't as powerful as he seemed. His martial arts skills were far superior to mine in the past, but at that moment, his knife was being held by my poor wife, slowing him down for a split second, allowing me to slash him across the face. Hehe, haha, he was once so proud of his unparalleled martial arts skills, but this one slash didn't kill him, it just made him become a two-faced person from then on. Hmph, when he married Yudai'er back then, he ridiculed me so much, I wonder if Yudai'er still likes him now? Hmph, hehe, haha, wuwu……”

  The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, and in the end, he couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, a man of over 50 years old acting like a child.

  Everyone listened to his intermittent narrative, only a few dozen words, but full of bloodiness, tragedy, and a mysterious atmosphere. They looked at each other, all with solemn faces.

  "I'm so angry, angry at my own poor martial arts skills. Although I managed to hurt him, in the end, I wasn't his match and he stabbed me with a knife. As I lay on the ground, my intestines spilled out, and thinking I wouldn't survive, that beast kicked me again before turning around and leaving." After a while, her emotions finally stabilized, and she continued speaking slowly.

  "...But he never thought that I would survive. After the beast left, my tribesmen rescued me and took me south, where I was nursed back to health for nearly half a year before I finally recovered."

  After that, our two tribes fought countless times, with both sides winning and losing. Later, Lord Tan Shi Huai personally issued an order, forbidding us from fighting again, and also gave me many more troops. I revered the lord and had to suppress this hatred. This suppression lasted for over ten years.

  Later, Angel grew up, and some of the elderly people in the tribe also gradually passed away. In order for the tribal people to live a stable life, and also fearing that it would implicate Angel, I moved the tribe here. After all those years, the tribal people also gradually yearned for a stable life, so I also put this vendetta aside for the time being.

  However, two years ago, Lord Tan Shiguan passed away. One day, I suddenly received news that the beast had actually stationed his tribe a hundred miles north of us. Within our grazing range, we didn't even notice when he arrived, which shows that he must have intentionally concealed himself and had ulterior motives.

  For two years, I have been on guard day and night, but I don't know if he saw that my defenses were tight or still remembered the instructions of Master Tan Shi Huai, anyway, he didn't come to disturb me.

  However, I received news today that Aba didn't return last night and someone saw him heading north. I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before things come to a head, especially now that Lord Tan Shi Huai is not around, this vendetta will eventually be settled.

  This is our tribe's own business, and has nothing to do with you. Abaer was just a pretext, whether he existed or not, this battle would have happened sooner or later. I also heard that you and An Qi are in love, which led to tonight's events.

  I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that in the future, Xiao Ge will treat An Qi well and take her back to Da Han. Even if Zhabu is fierce, he won't dare to be reckless in Da Han."

  Lao Weng finished speaking after a long time, and it wasn't until then that he had explained the entire situation from start to finish. Between the lines, it seemed like he was entrusting his orphan to someone else. It's clear that in his heart, he knew he wasn't a match for Zhabul.

  Akane's face was gloomy, her lips tightly pursed, and her face showed a resolute expression. Angie had already cried herself to death, but she shouted that she wouldn't leave, then turned around and begged Liu Zhang for help in defeating Zabul.

  Wu Meng sternly scolded Angie, not allowing her to drag Liu Zhang into this muddy water. Angie didn't dare disobey, she just cried loudly. Wu Meng's old tears flowed, he simply stroked her head and shook his head.

  Liu Zhang fell silent after analyzing the conversation, and didn't speak again. He only slightly furrowed his brow, sitting there listening. Behind him, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao all secretly looked at his expression, unsure of how he would decide.

  "Haha, old fellow, to be honest with you. I am a member of the imperial family of Han, and the son of Liu Yan, the governor of Hebei province. Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and Liu Zhang is incompetent. I want to recruit talented people to build my career. Don't know if you and your brother are willing to work with me on this great matter?"

  Just as everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, wondering how Liu Zhang would make a decision, Liu Zhang suddenly burst out laughing and asked this question. Everyone was stunned...
