Chapter 812

This...

How is this possible?

Although that sword strike was a bit off-center, there was poison on that sword.

And the poison had long since entered the bones, unless there was an antidote.

But this antidote...

Those people clearly said at the time that this kind of poison was incurable.

Otherwise, his Big Brother Zhang Jiao's body wouldn't have been weakening all the time these three years, suffering from old injuries every day.

His body is healed?

Could it be...

Could it be that he found an antidote?

Or did those people find his Big Brother again, and his Big Brother compromised?

Zhang Bao's eyes were dazed.

However, just as Zhang Bao was letting his imagination run wild, Zhang Liang, standing beside him, suddenly reached out and pointed to the distance outside the city.

"Second Brother, look, they're here, they're here!" Zhang Liang pointed to the distance excitedly: "It's Big Brother, Big Brother is here."

Zhang Bao, who was lowering his head and deep in thought, immediately raised his head and looked in the direction Zhang Liang was pointing.

In the distance, in the direction within sight outside Xiaquyang City, a small team appeared.

Zhang Bao reached out and made a shade over his eyebrows to look into the distance.

Not only looking at that team, but Zhang Bao also looked very carefully at the directions to the left and right of the distant team.

After confirming that there were no more troops on either side, Zhang Bao's gaze then fell on the team.

As time passed,

the team got closer and closer to the Nanmen of Xiaquyang.

When Zhang Bao saw clearly that the team had only dozens or even less than a hundred people, the heart that had been hanging in his throat relaxed by more than half.

Outside the city.

Duan Yu looked in the direction of Xiaquyang while driving the carriage.

At this moment, the Nanmen of Xiaquyang had already been opened.

But no one had come out of the city to welcome them.

Zhang Bao didn't dare to come out; it was clearly a guilty conscience.

If there were no ghosts in his heart, and he had no shame, would Zhang Bao not come out to welcome his own big brother?

It seems Zhang Bao still has worries in his heart or has some schemes.

But it doesn't matter.

If Zhang Bao really set up a Hongmen Banquet, then he wouldn't need to worry about the brotherhood between Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao.

"Ziyi, are we there?"

Zhang Jiao's voice came from inside the carriage.

Duan Yu, who was driving the carriage slowly, nodded: "We are here, Father-in-law, we will enter the city immediately."

The voice inside the carriage paused.

"Ziyi, Second Brother didn't come out of the city to welcome us, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's somewhat dangerous." Zhang Jiao said hesitantly: "You had better not enter the city."

Duan Yu smiled and shook his head, saying: "Father-in-law, don't worry. Since I'm here, I'll be at peace. A small Xiaquyang cannot trap me."

"Father-in-law, please rest assured."

As he spoke, the carriage Duan Yu was driving had already arrived in front of the Nanmen of Xiaquyang.

Without any pause or hesitation, Duan Yu drove the carriage directly into the city gate.

Inside the Nanmen of Xiaquyang.

Teams of Huang Jin Warriors were standing neatly on both sides of the city gate.

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were standing on the only path to enter the city.

Behind them were also a large number of Huang Jin Warriors holding weapons.

Duan Yu, driving the carriage, stopped the carriage when he was a dozen steps away from Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.

When Duan Yu stopped the carriage, Zhang Bao raised his eyebrows and suddenly asked Zhang Liang beside him with doubt: "Who is this person?"

Zhang Liang hurriedly introduced: "Oh, I forgot to tell Second Brother."

"This person is Big Brother's good son-in-law, Ning'er's husband, named Ziyi."

"Big Brother said that after coming out of Quliang City, he met Ning'er on the way."

"Not long after, the two were married."

Zhang Ning's husband?

The expression on Zhang Bao's face was somewhat surprised.

Especially when he saw Duan Yu's height and physique after getting off the carriage, he was even more surprised.

After the carriage stopped, Duan Yu got off the carriage, then lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Zhang Jiao, who had been closing his eyes and resting in the carriage, then stood up, then walked out of the carriage wearing a yellow Taoist robe.

When Zhang Jiao got off the carriage and stood beside the carriage with a cane in his hand,

the Huang Jin Warriors standing on both sides all bowed to Zhang Jiao one after another.

Zhang Jiao, leaning on his cane, looked at Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang standing not far away after getting off.

Zhang Jiao's gaze was calm.

But Zhang Bao's demeanor was not that steady.

Fortunately, there was still Zhang Liang between the two.

Zhang Liang, standing beside Zhang Bao, pushed Zhang Bao with his hand, then walked forward two steps with a smiling face: "Big Brother, Second Brother and I have come to pick you up."

Only then did Zhang Bao react, stepping forward two steps and cupping his hands in salute: "Big Brother."

Zhang Jiao smiled slightly: "Good, good."

"Big Brother, Second Brother has already prepared a banquet. We haven't seen each other for so long; today we must have a good drink."

Zhang Liang was the first to stand up as a peacemaker, breaking the awkwardness.

"Hm." Zhang Jiao nodded and said: "We should have a good drink. Second Brother, Third Brother, it's been such a long time since we've seen each other; today let's have a good chat about the past."

Not long after, led by Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, Duan Yu and Zhang Jiao arrived at the mansion where Zhang Bao was temporarily staying in the east of Xiaquyang City.

The mansion was a luxurious residence, and it was also decorated very lavishly.

The main hall was spacious, the lighting was bright, and rows of wooden screens stood on both sides of the hall.

A row of low tables was placed on each side of the main seat.

But only a few tables were set with wine, food, fish, and meat.

Zhang Jiao was invited by Zhang Liang to the main seat.

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were sitting in the position below Zhang Jiao on the left.

As for Duan Yu, this temporary guest, he was sitting in the position below Zhang Jiao on the right.

After everyone was seated, the wine and food were served one after another.

Duan Yu was currently playing the role of a junior, so naturally, it was not his turn to speak first.

So he cast his gaze on Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang opposite him.

Zhang Liang was the first to pick up his wine cup, then looked at Zhang Bao beside him, still looking like a peacemaker, and said: "Big Brother, this cup of wine, Second Brother and I toast you."

"Before at Quliang, there were many misunderstandings. Today Second Brother specifically asked me to notify you and invite you to come and apologize to you."

"We are own brothers; there was nothing that couldn't be resolved in the first place."

"So, no matter what happened before, let's not hold any grudges."

"Second Brother, tell me, am I right?"

As Zhang Liang spoke, he winked at Zhang Bao, who was sitting to the side.

Zhang Bao, holding his wine cup, took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes, Big Brother, it was I who did wrong before."

Zhang Bao, holding his wine cup, looked at Zhang Jiao and said: "But I was also doing it for the sake of these followers of the Way of Peace in the world."

"The imperial court is forcing us too hard; if we don't resist, we will be killed sooner or later."

"At that time, Big Brother was in a coma, so I could only take this desperate measure to lead everyone to pick up weapons." ===== CHAPTER 814 =====
