Chapter 770: Infamy is overwhelming!

Because of Zhang Mou's actions during the grazing of the valley in early September, the Murong Xianbei were completely enraged, even rebuking Later Zhao for indulging such a fierce person as a general.

And when Shi Hu learned of Zhang Cheng's actions, he laughed exceptionally happily, because he had finally found a general he could be proud of.

After all, he, Shi Hu, was a "bastard" himself, so how could he not be happy to have such a general under him?

However, just as Former Yan and Later Zhao were rebuking each other, other regimes also learned of the appearance of a "villain," and that was the person leading the troops for Later Zhao, Zhang Cheng.

As for why he was widely known? It was because this bastard actually leveled the wheels; he was simply comparable to the Sima clan!

Why the Luo River no longer accepted business was all because of the Sima clan's perfidy, which led the noble families to no longer believe in oaths!

And Zhang Cheng's actions, in the hearts of the Hu people, were simply like God being a black man; it was too damn outrageous!

Returning to Jizhou safe and sound,

Zhang Cheng looked at Wang Jun-tou and the others, and immediately asked with a face full of confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You being able to live is truly remarkable!"

Giving a thumbs up, Wang Jun-tou said, "The Murong clan is currently chasing and killing you all over the grassland, don't you know?"

"I know, that's why I escaped back from the Tuoba clan!"

Looking at Wang Jun-tou happily, how could Zhang Cheng not know the Murong clan was chasing him?

That scarlet light on the battlefield was almost covering the entire grassland; could Zhang Cheng not escape?

"You didn't go crazy killing at the Tuoba clan too, did you?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Wang Jun-tou asked.

"That's impossible, I just have a little prejudice against the Murong clan!"

Speaking to Wang Jun-tou beside him, Zhang Cheng explained.

And hearing this, Wang Jun-tou said, "An order has come from Xiangguo, telling you to go; His Majesty has summoned you!"

"Xiangguo?"

Hearing Wang Jun-tou say this, Zhang Cheng immediately smiled and said, "I understand!"

Several days later, several warhorses left Jizhou, heading toward Xiangguo.

And this time, Zhang Cheng was going to Xiangguo to completely enter the power center of Later Zhao.

But after Zhang Cheng went to Xiangguo, how long Shi Hu could live, that was unknown!

Xiangguo is an ancient name, now in Xingtai, Hebei.

After a long journey of half a month, Zhang Cheng finally arrived at Xiangguo.

And when entering the city, Zhang Cheng also saw most of the "commoners" on the street.

However, looking at their sallow and gaunt appearance, the gloom in Zhang Cheng's heart obviously deepened a bit.

"Long time no see, young man!"

Just as Zhang Cheng was thinking, he saw a sturdy figure appear in the distance.

"General, long time no see!"

Dismounting to salute, Zhang Cheng looked at Ran Min with a full smile.

"You gave me a surprise, six hundred cavalry breaking Murong!"

Patting Zhang Cheng's shoulder, Ran Min couldn't help but laugh loudly, but in the next second, he said, "You've become much sturdier!"

"This is all because I've been eating well lately!"

Showing a smile to Ran Min, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but explain.

"What you did this time was a bit excessive, but it doesn't matter! I have you covered!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, Ran Min laughed.

"Then thank you, General!"

Hearing Ran Min say this, Zhang Cheng also couldn't help but feel happy.

A few days later, inside the palace of Xiangguo, Shi Hu, as the Heavenly King, summoned him.

Entering in armor, Zhang Cheng immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Jizhou Battalion Commander, pays respects to the Heavenly King!"

"Rise!"

Waving his hand indifferently, Shi Hu sat on the high seat, looking at Zhang Cheng with a full smile.

"Are you a Han?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Shi Hu couldn't help but frown. "Under the Heavenly King's command, what is the difference between Han and Hu? The subjects are all a blade for the Heavenly King!"

Looking at Shi Hu with a full smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but lower his head.

But on his lowered face, the eyes in Zhang Cheng's gaze were flashing with killing intent.

Because if he wasn't unsure whether Ran Min would stop him, he would have probably rushed up and beheaded Shi Hu with one blade!

"Good, this Heavenly King needs a general like you! I confer upon you the title of General of the Tooth Gate, responsible for guarding the palace!"

Laughing as he looked at Zhang Cheng, Shi Hu was clearly amused by his words.

"Thank you, Heavenly King!"

Raising his head, Zhang Cheng looked at Shi Hu, his eyes flickering.

Because Shi Hu was truly looking for death!

Letting him serve as General of the Tooth Gate, he didn't know if Shi Hu would be able to sleep at night!

Zhao Zhen: Oh, you're kidding?

However, just as Shi Hu was conferring the title on Zhang Cheng, the infamy of the world had gradually spread.

That was, the Eastern Jin side believed that the Later Zhao general was truly too cruel, actually using such a person as a general; he was indeed a barbarian!

But none of this mattered; after all, Shi Hu himself was a "bastard" who focused on killing. The more fiercely people outside cursed, the more he felt Zhang Cheng was a loyal person!

After all, he had already been cursed like this, so where else in the world was there a place for him?

Under the night sky, the "Shi family,"

Ran Min, holding a wine cup, looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "You have good skills, and now you have received the Heavenly King's favor; your future will definitely be limitless!"

But hearing Ran Min's words, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Thanks to the General's promotion, but General, we are Han people!"

Suddenly hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Ran Min said seriously, "What do you mean by this?"

"I just want to tell the General, we are not Hu people. Even if we receive favor, in their eyes, we are just mere lower-class people, two-legged sheep!"

!

Filling the wine cup, Zhang Cheng looked at Ran Min and said, "Right?"

"Enough, don't mention these words again!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Ran Min couldn't help but scold him.

"If the General ever figures it out, you can come find me; I will go without hesitation!"

Looking at Ran Min before him, Zhang Cheng drank the wine in one gulp and then turned and left.

But looking at Zhang Cheng's back, Ran Min's heart couldn't help but surge.

Because Zhang Cheng was right; he, Ran Min, was just an "adopted grandson," not a true Hu person. He possessed Han blood.

And in this North ruled by Hu people, even if they received more favor, they were just "slaves"!

At best, they were just there to amuse the master!

Leaving Ran Min's mansion, two Krieg soldiers were waiting.

Mounting his horse, Zhang Cheng headed into the distance, but at this moment, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Who?"

"Does the General not mind the infamy?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, a young man walked out slowly, a playful smile appearing in his eyes.

"Flattering the master, how can that be considered infamy?"

Looking at the young man before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but draw the long sword at his waist.

"Why not sit down and chat?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the young man walked out slowly, wearing hemp clothes, but in his eyes was a light that one dared not look directly at.

"Alright!"

Putting down the long sword, Zhang Cheng dismounted and walked toward the young man.

And at the moment both sides looked at each other, Zhang Cheng said, "Zhang Cheng, Zhang Xinzhi!"

"Wang Meng, Wang Jinglue!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wang Meng also smiled.

"Wang Meng?"

Placing his hand on his waist, Zhang Cheng's first reaction was to take action, because playing with brains, let alone him, even adding the Lu Mou from next door, it probably wouldn't be enough to calculate!

Looking at Zhang Cheng's movements, Wang Meng immediately took two steps back and said, "Has the General heard of my name?"

"No, never heard of it!"

Putting down the dagger in his hand, Zhang Cheng finally reacted; the current Wang Meng was not the Chancellor of Former Qin!

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Wang Meng signaled, "I have a humble room nearby, General, please!"

"Thank you!"

Signaling to Wang Meng, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "You guys go down first!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the Krieg soldiers turned and left.
