Chapter 760 : Testing the Crown Prince with Killing
“Is there wine?” asked Zhang Qin.
“Yes!”
Zhang Ronghua took out a bottle of Heavenly Jade Brew and two wine cups from the Five Dragons Spirit Controlling Belt. He filled the wine cup and placed
one cup in front of his father. He held the other cup and said seriously,” To you!”
Zhang Qin smiled in relief. He raised his wine glass and clinked it with his own. Then, he downed the wine in one gulp. He put down his wine glass and looked at the full moon in the night sky. He sighed.” Time flies. In the blink of an eye, you’ve all grown up.”
Zhang Ronghua listened quietly and filled the glass again.
“You were already extraordinary when you were young. You were smart, sensible, and learned everything quickly. I didn’t expect you to have such great achievements when you grew up.”
“You and mother have nurtured him well.”
Zhang Qin stroked his beard. This was the truth. If he was an ordinary person, practicing martial arts, studying, and living expenses were all huge expenses that he could not afford!
Although the Imperial Army was only a low-level officer, the benefits of being on duty in the Flood Dragon Guards were great. Adding on some unearned income and the dowry that Zheng Rou had brought over, it was not enough. Compared to the commoners, it was already much better.
“Father has been a Flood Dragon Guard for his entire life. Do you know why he was able to retreat unscathed?” “You know how to behave!”
“Not bad!” Zhang Qin nodded.
“Old Li, Old Zhao, and the others had just retired not long ago. The longest one died in less than three years. They died of illness or went out to play and died at the hands of criminals. Only Father was safe and sound. In the eyes of those in power, their father was the one who charged forward for every mission. He was capable, fearless, and could shoulder heavy responsibilities! Do your own thing well. No matter what it is, even if it’s just a small matter, don’t ask, don’t ask, and don’t say anything. “In contrast, those who are on duty with Father all say that Father is loyal and loyal. He can give his back to Father and is worthy of trust. He won’t take all the credit for himself. If there’s one, there’s one. The benefits are obvious. It’s like gray income. Father doesn’t even need to show up. The share that belongs to Father won’t be missing a single piece. Others will send it to him.”
He was a little thirsty, so he finished the wine in his glass and continued.
“Don’t look down on the Imperial Army. It’s a huge network of connections. Your uncle has run into several accidents in business, but Father only set up a table, called a few people over for a meal, and arranged a few girls to serve him in Heavenly Earth. The trouble was solved. Otherwise, he would have been eaten to the bone by others.”
“You’ve done a lot for this family.”
Zhang Qin shook his head and looked in the direction of the bedroom. He smiled gently.” It’s your mother who’s working hard. With her taking care of the house, no matter if it’s big or small, everything is handled in an orderly manner. She has never troubled Father. No matter how late he comes back, he still has a hot meal. There was one time when he went out on a mission and didn’t come back for nearly a month. The house was not in a mess at all, but your mother had lost a lot of weight. When she saw Father, she didn’t say anything and hugged him tightly. When Father fell asleep, she was afraid of disturbing him and hid outside to cry secretly. Father knew that she must be very worried!”
Zhang Ronghua’s heart was heavy. He silently took the wine jug and filled it up for his father again.
” I didn’t want to talk to you about this, but you’re all grown up now. You’ll get married tomorrow, and you’ll be next. You’ll be an adult once you’re married. You’re no longer as willful as before. You can do whatever you want. You have your own responsibilities. You have to take on the heavy responsibilities of the family, earn money to support the family, and protect the loved ones around you. The responsibilities are very heavy. No matter how hard it is, no matter how tired you are, you’ll just swallow it down.”
He looked in the direction of the Vermillion Bird Lane.
‘ Before I came back in the afternoon, I talked to Chang ‘an. Compared to before, he has grown a lot. He has shed his youth and is sensible and responsible.”
“Chang ‘an has indeed matured,” Zhang Ronghua agreed.
Zhang Qin smiled slightly and stroked his beard.” Xiao Mi is a good child. He knows the big picture, knows when to advance and when to retreat, manages the family well, and is filial to the elders. Your eldest uncle is so stubborn that he actually wants to break up the couple. Why doesn’t he take a look? If it weren’t for you, with his family background, would Uncle Xiao agree?” Zhang Ronghua smiled.
Hong Ling is a good person. She was born in a noble family. She’s not rude and unreasonable. She’s kind-hearted. She’s a good cook. Cherish her.”
Zhang Ronghua was in a difficult situation. He didn’t know what she was thinking. Logically speaking, they had seen each other’s bodies, touched each other’s feet, held each other’s hands, and kissed each other. Other than husband and wife, it was impossible for friends to do such intimate things! Could it be that she really treated him as her best friend? A woman’s heart was like a needle in the sea, unable to be seen through!
Other than her, there was also Ji Xueyan. The relationship between the two of them had already been made clear. They had interacted more. After watching everything, the place where they kissed was even more secretive…lf his parents knew what the outcome would be, he didn’t dare to think about it. His head hurt!
Fortunately, Zhang Qin had a deep understanding of the art of maintaining one’s composure. Even if he had sharp eyes, he did not notice anything.
” After the marriage in Chang ‘an, your appointment will come. With the promotion of your official position and the matter of the Crown Prince, the struggle will only become more intense. I can’t help you much, and I won’t drag you down! There was no need to worry. Just do it boldly without thinking about the way out! Don’t look down on Father’s strength, but in terms of retreat, I’m not boasting. No one can compare to me. When that day comes, it’s enough to ensure that our two families can leave the capital safely and go to a place where no one can find us.”
Zhang Ronghua was touched and his heart was warm. He did not say anything and raised his glass again to toast.
After drinking.
“Will there be any accidents tomorrow?” asked Zhang Qin.
Zhang Ronghua smiled confidently. Although he was smiling, his eyes were cold.” They dare to make a fuss about this matter and make us unhappy.. I will make them regret being born!”
