Chapter 1276: Zhang Cheng

~8 min read 1,492 words

Rongning Long Street, the clansmen of the Jia family were chatting on both sides of the road.

But just at this moment, a dark cloud drifted across the sky.

Looking up at the sky, people thought it was about to rain.

"Clatter!"

Rapid footsteps sounded, and when the clansmen of the Jia family looked, they saw a vast crowd of people appearing, carrying all kinds of knives, guns, and sticks.

Walking in the front, Zhang Cheng, wearing the Qilin robe of a second-rank Earl, walked in front, pointed with his knife and said: "Seal the street for me, no one is allowed to run!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the soldiers who rushed out immediately began to blockade the entire Rongning Long Street.

Watching this shocking scene, the clansmen of the Jia family were all dumbfounded, not understanding what was going on. Could it be that the Emperor wanted to raid and exterminate the Jia family!

However, after seeing the person in the lead clearly, Leng Zixing, who had just come out of the Rongguo Mansion, hurriedly ran forward: "Jue-ge'er, what are you doing here! Why bring so many soldiers..."

Looking at Leng Zixing who was trotting up, Zhang Cheng slapped him across the face: "Is the 'ge'er' name of this Earl something a bastard like you can call?"

Saying this, Zhang Cheng kicked Leng Zixing in the face, knocking him to the ground: "Smash all the teeth of this dog thing!"

"Yes, My Lord Earl!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's order, the soldiers who rushed up immediately gave Leng Zixing a beating.

Under the shrill screams, Leng Zixing's wails also attracted the attention of Zhou Rui's wife.

And Zhou Rui's wife was originally Lady Wang's dowry maid. The reason Leng Zixing dared to run up was that he thought the relationship between Jia Jue and the Jia family was close, and he could go and get familiar, maybe even cling to him in the future.

But where could Leng Zixing have thought that the relationship between Zhang Cheng and the Jia family was not only bad, but also had a great feud!

Hearing her son-in-law's wails outside, Zhou Rui hurriedly ran out, but when he saw Zhang Cheng in the lead, he was scared out of his wits and hurriedly rushed into the house.

Because he couldn't care about Leng Zixing now; if he were caught by the Earl of Loyalty and Valor, he probably wouldn't even be able to save his life!

Inside the Rongxi Hall, Grandmother Jia, who was having fun, picked up her teacup and drank ginseng tea.

But just at this moment, Zhou Rui ran in hurriedly: "Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor, something bad has happened! The Earl of Loyalty and Valor has brought troops to Rongning Long Street!"

"Pfft!"

Spitting out a mouthful of ginseng tea, Grandmother Jia was immediately shocked: "What? He brought troops over?"

"That's right, Old Ancestor, the outside is all blockaded by the Earl of Loyalty and Valor's people, and even my son-in-law is about to be beaten to death!"

Explaining to Grandmother Jia, Zhou Rui hurriedly cried out.

Looking at Zhou Rui in shock, everyone in the Rongxi Hall was stunned.

They had thought Zhang Cheng's courage was great, but they hadn't expected that he would dare to bring troops to beat up old relatives!

"This little scum, is he trying to turn the world upside down? Actually bringing troops to Rongning Long Street, simply disregarding the face of the ancestors..."

Speaking with anger, Grandmother Jia hurriedly roared: "Quick, get my official robes; I want to see how he dares to beat this old lady to death!"

Just as Grandmother Jia roared, the Rongxi Hall was also in a mess.

Hiding in the back in fear, the young ladies were now flustered. 【1276-

Because they had long heard of Zhang Cheng's name, they never imagined that their first meeting would be him leading troops to their doorstep!

But just as Lady Jia put on her ceremonial robes, Lin Zhixiao ran in and said, "Old Ancestor, it's a mistake, a mistake! Brother Jue went to the Ningguo Mansion."

"The Ningguo Mansion?"

Looking at Lin Zhixiao with suspicion, Lady Jia's face was filled with astonishment.

"That's right, Brother Jue went to the Ningguo Mansion, not here to seek revenge."

Explaining to Lady Jia, Lin Zhixiao hurriedly looked toward Wang Xifeng not far away.

"Old Ancestor, why don't I go take a look first? It's likely that Brother Jue and Brother Zhen had a conflict. I'll come back and tell you!"

Looking at Lady Jia, Wang Xifeng hurriedly spoke up.

Hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Lady Jia seemed to realize she had been overly agitated, but she immediately slapped her thigh and said, "Quick, go and stop that little bastard! He is a reckless brute who knows no bounds."

Realizing he wasn't here to cause trouble for the Rongguo Mansion but for the Ningguo Mansion, Lady Jia became flustered.

Because the Rong and Ning mansions were one, what difference did it make who he targeted? Hiding behind Lady Jia, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun were shocked; why had their elder brother gone to cause trouble for Brother Zhen?

In front of the Ningguo Mansion, Zhang Cheng held a sharp blade and roared, "Smash it! Smash it for me!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Holding a giant hammer, Jia Wei struck fiercely, his eyes filled with rage.

Because he hadn't expected that this shameless thing, Jia Zhen, would dare to intercept his uncle; he was truly tired of living!

Rushing out from inside, Jiao Da carried a saber, his face fierce as he said, "Let's see who dares to act presumptuously in front of the Ningguo Mansion today! Do you really think my Ningguo Mansion has no one left?"

But after Jiao Da came out and saw the sea of people before him, he was immediately dumbfounded.

"Jiao Da, this matter has nothing to do with you. Step aside!"

Speaking to Jiao Da, Zhang Cheng still held a fair amount of respect for this loyal servant.

Because even long after the Duke of Ning, Jia Yan, had passed away, Jiao Da remained loyal to the Jia family. Even when servants had stuffed his mouth full of horse manure and dirt, he still fought desperately when the house was being raided.

"Brother Jue, what are you doing!"

Looking at Jia Jue in disbelief, Jiao Da questioned him.

"What am I doing? This Jia Zhen isn't even human; he actually intercepted my wife! Do you think I'll give him a pleasant look? Step aside, I'm only here to deal with Jia Zhen today, not anyone else!"

Speaking to Jiao Da, Zhang Cheng also greatly admired such a loyal servant.

Because it was Jiao Da who had dug Jia Yan out of a pile of corpses, and in the end, he would rather drink horse urine himself than give his master anything but the clean half-bowl of water!

Yet, faced with such a Jiao Da, the Ningguo Mansion treated him with nothing but utter disdain.

One must know that the inheritance of a family relies most on loyal servants. Even if the family declines one day, a loyal servant will always protect the young master as he grows!

"No, Brother Jue. As long as I, Jiao Da, am alive, I won't allow anyone to break in!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Jiao Da stood before him after a moment of thought.

Hearing Jiao Da say this, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "Tie him up, tie him up, but make sure not to hurt him!"

Seeing Zhang Cheng give the order, the rushing Krieger directly pinned Jiao Da to the ground.

"Brother Jue, stop, Brother Jue!"

Struggling with all his might, Jiao Da watched Jia Wei breaking down the door and couldn't help but roar.

Looking at Jiao Da, Zhang Cheng said speechlessly, "Cover his mouth!"

Faced with someone like Jiao Da, Zhang Cheng had no choice. After all, he was a loyal servant of the Jia family, even if not of the Zhongwu Earl's Mansion. But Zhang Cheng admired him, and if the Ningguo Mansion fell in the future, he would certainly provide Jiao Da with a peaceful courtyard to retire in!

Because as a representative of loyal servants, Jiao Da was absolutely worthy of the Jia family! It was the Ningguo Mansion that was unworthy of Jiao Da's loyalty!

"Boom!"

The gate was smashed to pieces. Zhang Cheng stepped forward and kicked it hard, saying, "Go in and beat everyone you see! As long as they aren't kneeling, slaughter them all for me!"

Carrying his saber forward, Zhang Cheng's eyes turned blood-red.

"Yes, Earl!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the people behind him immediately rushed in. Wails of agony echoed from within the Ningguo Mansion.

Having run out from the Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng's face turned pale after seeing the scene inside. She hadn't expected that Brother Jue was actually serious!
