Chapter 1229

When the one-month period arrived, the clansmen of the Jia family gathered one after another at the port.

Looking at their tearful relatives, many people held back their sorrow and boarded the ships.

Waving his hand, Zhang Cheng shouted with a smile on his face, "Sister Cuizhu, take good care of Mother; I will definitely win her the title of Lady!"

"Young Master, you must be careful in everything!"

Shouting loudly, Cuizhu stood outside the carriage and could not help but call out.

Lifting the curtain and looking at Zhang Cheng boarding the ship, Jia Liu Shi covered her mouth, fearing she would cry out loud.

Ever since she saw Zhang Cheng's "divine strength" that night, Jia Liu Shi understood that she could not stop her child from going north to build a career.

But as a mother, who could bear the separation!

Standing on the shore, Jia Lian looked at Zhang Cheng boarding the ship, his heart filled with complex emotions at this moment.

Because he didn't expect that such a "ruthless" person would actually take the initiative to ask to join the army!

However, compared to Jia Lian, Lai Da was leaning on a crutch, his heart filled with resentment, because his right leg was completely ruined.

Thinking of the other party saying he wanted to skin him, Lai Da felt a wave of resentment in his heart.

This blind thing, did he really think joining the army at the frontier was a good thing? Wait until he dies, and Grandpa Lai will properly find time to bully his family's widows and orphans!

Thinking of this, Lai Da's mood could not help but brighten.

The large ship set sail, heading north along the coast.

Humming a little tune, Zhang Cheng was fishing in utter boredom.

"Uncle, why did you have to follow along?"

Looking at the Zhang Cheng before him, Wei Ge'er's eyes were filled with melancholy.

Because Zhang Cheng could have taken care of his mother in Jin Ling, but he followed along; then what would happen at home?

Looking at Wei Ge'er beside him, Zhang Cheng slapped him on the back of the head and said, "If I didn't come, you brat wouldn't even know how you died on the battlefield!"

"Uncle, you aren't much older than me!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Jia Wei looked helpless.

"But I am your uncle!"

Looking at Jia Wei seriously, Zhang Cheng could not help but become stern.

Watching Zhang Cheng with a twitching mouth, Jia Wei fell silent.

"Rest assured, before I left, I told your mother to move into my house and stay with my mother; there are more than twenty servants in the courtyard, what are you worried about!"

Looking at Jia Wei's appearance, Zhang Cheng knew he was worried about his mother and hurriedly explained.

"Really? Uncle!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Jia Wei became excited.

Because if his mother could enter the courtyard, she wouldn't have to work so hard! After all, Uncle was "quite wealthy"!

"Why would I lie to you?"

Looking at Jia Wei beside him, Zhang Cheng laughed.

During the long journey, the Jia family members were initially very novel, but eventually, they became listless.

"Uncle, have you still not caught a fish?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, what Jia Wei paid attention to every day now was whether Zhang Cheng could catch a fish.

After all, inside the Jia family, some people were already opening betting pools.

It is normal for a person not to catch a fish, but if you can't catch one for ten or twenty days in a row, then there is a problem!

And Zhang Cheng happened to be such a problematic person!

Now there were still people in the Jia family betting on when he would catch a fish!

"Wei Ge'er, does Uncle want to smack you?"

Looking at Jia Wei beside him, Zhang Cheng could not help but become stern.

Because this brat squatted beside him every day saying this; could Zhang Cheng be happy?

Not catching a fish—was that his problem? That was the problem of the fishing rod and the fish!

And he wasn't a fishing enthusiast; why did he have to care about this?

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng's anger burned, he stood up with a "thump," took off his outer green shirt, and jumped directly into the sea.

Looking at this scene in shock, Jia Wei fell silent for a moment, then immediately stood up and roared, "Oh no, Uncle jumped into the sea!"

"What?"

Hearing Jia Wei's words, many Jia family members rushed out.

And just at this moment, Zhang Cheng, who had dived into the sea, grabbed a large fish and threw it onto the ship, then climbed up the rope himself.

Looking at the fish jumping around on the deck, Zhang Cheng wiped his soaked long hair back and said, "How about that?"

"Uncle? You this..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, many Jia family members fell silent, because this was a "ruthless person"!

A few days later, the ship arrived in Liaodong.

Ning has been lost; the land outside the pass is already the world of the Jurchen!

Although the Jizhou Town is garrisoned with heavy troops, it is in the Zunhua area, guarding the pass to prevent invasion, while the furthest point is Shanhai Pass; the entire battle map is formed in a flat way.

As relatives of the Jia family, the treatment of Zhang Cheng and the others can be said to be very good; at the very least, they were well-fed!

"Who is the leader among you this time!"

Coming before Zhang Cheng and the others, Niu Jizong, a First-Class Earl and Zunhua garrison commander, walked out.

As part of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes lineage, the relationship between the Niu family and the Jia family is good, but that is only for now.

As long as the Jia family can no longer stand up, no one will take them seriously!

Stepping forward, Jia Pu said, "I have met the First-Class Earl; I am Jia Pu!"

"Hmm! Not bad!"

Looking at the heroic Jia Pu before him, Niu Jizong could not help but praise him.

Because the Jia family's capital lineage had no one left, but he didn't expect that they would pull the rug from under their own feet and still be able to find clansmen from Jin Ling to go up.

As a carefully selected person, Jia Pu can be said to have extraordinary martial arts, and he is also the great-grandson of the contemporary clan leader among the twelve branches.

Why did Zhang Cheng and the other Jia clansmen not dare to refute the clan leader? Because he really sent his grandson!

"Since you are new to the camp, why not guard this place? Jia Pu is appointed as the Battalion Commander of Dingbei Fort!"

Looking at Jia Pu before him, Niu Jizong laughed.

Because these things had been arranged with the Jia family beforehand; guarding a slightly rear position would not lead to major problems.

Otherwise, if he sent them to the front line to fight the Jurchen, Niu Jizong was really afraid of problems!

"Thank you, First-Class Earl!"

Bowing with cupped hands, Jia Pu walked out with a smile on his face.

"How about it, Uncle!"

Seeing Jia Pu come out, many clansmen stepped forward.

"Fifth-Rank Battalion Commander, guarding Dingbei Fort!"

Speaking with a smile, Jia Pu let the clansmen go to collect their military equipment.

A few days later, in a fortress a hundred miles behind Beigukou,

Jia Pu was training the soldiers above with a stern face.

Below, Zhang Cheng shouted powerlessly, "Stab, stab, stab!"

"Uncle, is it stab or thrust?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Jia Wei's face was full of confusion.

"How would I know? Can't you just thrust forward?"

Addressing Jia Wei, Zhang Cheng had just turned his head when he saw Jia Pu.

"Careful!"

Before Jia Pu could react, Zhang Cheng pushed him flying away.

Looking at this scene in astonishment, the Jia family members were dumbfounded, and even the soldiers training on the side were stunned.

"Brother Jue, are you trying to kill me?"

Holding his stomach as he got up, Jia Pu could not help but feel uncomfortable.

"Brother Pu, I'm really sorry, I have divine strength!"

Looking at Jia Pu awkwardly, Zhang Cheng explained.

"Ah! Why didn't you say so earlier? It's a good thing I didn't put a spearhead on it for you, otherwise wouldn't I be dead?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Jia Pu hurriedly spoke.

But looking at Jia Pu, Zhang Cheng wanted to say, who said you couldn't stab someone to death without a spearhead!

Tang Bohu: That's my line!

Zhang Cheng: Don't worry about the details!

Holding his stomach in a sorry state, Jia Pu said, "I'll rest for a while; you all continue training!"

"Ha, stab, stab, stab!"

"Stab, stab, stab!"

And just as a group of people continued training, the beacon fires were lit again in the north.
