Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 724 A Blood-Written Letter Remains Full of Hatred, Before Jade Sword Pass

At first, Chu Danqing thought that Zhong Hao wrote this blood letter to present to the imperial court, but it turned out that it was not.

Zhong Hao said, "At first, I hoped that the imperial court would send troops to punish the traitors and bring them to justice."

"Later, when all hope was lost, I thought of assassinating the traitor myself, but I was just a scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken. After thinking it over, I could only hope that my children and grandchildren would be ambitious, abandon their studies and learn martial arts, so that they could avenge this great hatred for me."

"As expected, my wish came true. I had been herding horses for ten years when my son also arrived at the border of the Hu, hiding his identity and searching for my whereabouts."

"Before I went on my mission, he had just passed the imperial examination and was a refined scholar. When I met him again on the border, he had become a valiant warrior."

"It turns out that he knew the court was unwilling to send troops to punish me alone, so he abandoned his studies to learn martial arts, intending to go deep into the border region of the barbarians and rescue his father alone."

“My son takes things too lightly, thinking that he can rescue me from the Hu border with his martial arts skills.”

"Who knew there were always people better than you, and there were many experts in the Woyila region. Even among Zhu Shichang's men, there were several with extraordinary skills."

"I was herding horses in the snow, and someone was secretly watching me."

“My son finally found me, but before we could even discuss escaping, we were discovered. If I hadn’t told him to run, he would have almost been captured.”

"We had no choice but to flee back to the Central Plains to see what would happen next, but thankfully, this day has finally come."

Hearing him say this, Chu Danqing couldn't help but ask him, "Even you yourself don't rely on the imperial court, so why do you think the imperial court will recognize you?"

This guy is a typical example of self-avoidance and overthinking. Given the court's actions, it's more likely that they see Zhong Hao as a disgrace.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have actually needed someone to rescue him.

Zhong Hao glared fiercely at Chu Danqing: "You are nothing but a commoner, how dare you speak so presumptuously about the imperial court."

Then he turned to the blood-written letter and continued, "If my son cannot avenge this, my grandson will; if my grandson cannot, my great-grandson will."

"As long as there are descendants of the Zhong family, we will definitely avenge this grudge."

"As for the Zhu family, even if Zhu Shichang is dead, he still has descendants, and his descendants will suffer this retribution on his behalf!"

"Eighteen years ago, when I heard that he had a son, I wrote my first blood oath, telling my grandson to remember that when he grows up, whenever he encounters anyone from Zhu Shichang's lineage, regardless of age or gender, he must kill them for me!"

"And now, this is the second one."

Chu Danqing was speechless upon hearing this. Given the current situation, the possibility of your family being wiped out first is greater than the possibility of revenge.

Moreover, he also discovered that Zhong Hao had long known that the imperial court would never avenge him.

He simply refused to admit it, using so-called loyalty to cover up his twisted thoughts.

Seeking revenge is fine, but if you're so capable, go and take it yourself. You haven't raised or taught your children properly, yet you're ruining their lives.

It's commonly known as "talking without understanding the pain."

His silence, tinged with despair, betrayed his granddaughter Zhong Lei's lack of presence.

Is this something she can do?
It's obvious that Zhong Lei didn't grow up with Zhong Hao; how could he possibly have allowed her to practice martial arts in his environment?

He only came to save his grandfather after completing his apprenticeship.

"Lei'er, remember this well: this hatred is irreconcilable!" Zhong Hao said, handing the blood-written letter to Zhong Lei.

The dragon standing to the side sneered, "Lord Zhong, why don't you seek revenge from your court? Do you think your descendants are more capable than your court?"

Chu Danqing was also surprised by these words. He hadn't expected that Elong's sarcastic remarks would be so powerful.

Zhong Hao's face darkened, while Chu Danqing stepped forward, blocking the way, and casually took the blood-written letter and stuffed it into his pocket.

“Let the previous generation settle their own affairs,” Chu Danqing said.

The main problem is that this is too outrageous; this incident is essentially a diplomatic incident between countries.

Instead of going back to Jinchao for support, you send your granddaughter to kill the Zhu family. If you're so capable, climb up the ranks yourself and use your power to take revenge. Then Chu Danqing won't have anything to say.

Chu Danqing guessed that Zhong Hao understood there was no hope, which was why he made those remarks earlier.

"Give it back to me." Zhong Hao glared at Chu Danqing and reached out to ask Chu Danqing for the blood letter.

Elong's expression darkened: "Senior Brother, why don't we kill him and just say we couldn't save the person?"

Chu Danqing mediated between the grandfather and grandson and offered them a way out. This guy must have been able to climb to the position of a diplomatic envoy to see through things.

But this attitude directly ignores good intentions.

Why not just kill him? After all, the trial mission doesn't have any strict requirements.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing knew things were in trouble.

This truly ignited the Cretaceous dragon's murderous intent.

If he were to lose his temper, Chu Danqing would probably have to use his trump card to subdue him.

"No, no, no, calm down," Chu Danqing said. "Yujian Pass isn't far from here, let's send it over there."

"Lord Zhong, it's time to get going."

These words sent a chill down Zhong Hao's spine; Chu Danqing's words didn't sound like anything good.

Zhong Lei, who was standing to the side, remained silent. She was actually very grateful to Chu Danqing, Elong, and the other 'Fengyang Sect disciples'.

To be honest, she didn't know her grandfather was like this.

After they finished speaking, they headed towards Jade Sword Pass.

Given their speed, it is naturally extremely fast.

Before long, they saw the banners fluttering above Yujian Pass. "Has General Zhou arrived yet?" Zhong Hao asked.

Chu Danqing was speechless. They hadn't even arrived yet, how could the other party possibly know?

Even if they knew, they couldn't possibly wait outside to greet him beforehand, could they? Would they really consider him a great hero?
“Someone has already gone to inform them,” Chu Danqing said.

That's true; an apostle skilled in social interaction and the dragon entered Jade Sword Pass first.

To be honest, based on Zhong Hao's performance, Chu Danqing felt that Zhu Shichang was more credible.

When they arrived at Qilipo, they did not move.

The main point is that the dragon said on the public channel that the sociable apostle was arguing with a flag officer inside the pass.

He was worried there might be a problem, so he asked Chu Danqing to wait for his message.

When Zhong Hao saw that Chu Danqing and the others had stopped, and then saw that it was Qilipo, he said, "What, you also believed that scoundrel and Hu Jiang's words? Do you really think Da Jin can harm this old man?"

Chu Danqing sighed, then turned to Zhong Lei and said, "Miss Zhong, take your grandfather to get his brain checked when you get back."

This mental health issue is extremely serious, to the point that the left brain is fighting against the right brain.

"And then you absolutely must keep him tied up, so he doesn't run away from home and harm others," Guo Ming added from the side.

To be honest, it left him speechless with anger.

Normally, he would just kill without saying a word, but now he couldn't hold back anymore.

Chu Danqing and Guo Ming's back-and-forth banter made Zhong Hao's face flush with anger.

Then no one paid attention to what he said, except for Zhong Lei who comforted him.

About half an hour later, the Cretaceous Dragon and another apostle returned.

When they arrived, it wasn't just the two of them; there were also hundreds of soldiers and a man who looked like a captain.

"We are here on orders to escort them," the leading captain said with a stern face.

There was no warmth in his tone, nor any intention to bow to Zhong Hao; it was as if he didn't exist.

"Please." Chu Danqing stepped forward and replied.

The other party nodded and then led the way.

Zhong Hao was extremely dissatisfied; he simply didn't believe that Elong hadn't explained the situation when he went.

Having already explained it, they still appointed Chu Danqing, a mere outlaw from the martial arts world, as their leader, without even bothering to greet him.

However, since Yujian Pass was the other side's territory, these grievances could only be suppressed for the time being.

After he returns to the capital, he will surely submit a formal complaint to the emperor in order to clean up the corrupt practices in this region.

On the other side, Chu Danqing huddled with Elong and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? This doesn't look like they're picking someone up."

It looks like they're there to meet someone, but judging by the setup, it looks more like they're escorting someone.

"I'm not entirely sure. If it weren't for that guy being so helpful, we almost wouldn't have been able to get in." Elong paused for a moment, then added, "And then I found out something else."

"Senior Brother, do you remember who asked us to come and rescue them?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing immediately said, "You mean to say that they are not friends of Zhong Hao or Zhong Lei?"

Chu Danqing had never even considered this question before Cretaceous Dragon asked it.

Otherwise, who else could it be but them?
But now that I think about it, Zhong Hao looked down on them, the 'Fengyang Sect', a bunch of roughnecks from the martial arts world.

If it were Zhong Lei's friend, how could the other party not have mentioned it or inquired about her friend's situation by now?

“I suspect it’s General Zhou,” Elong added. “However, this General Zhou is most likely no longer a general.”

"That's why we couldn't get help from the people at Yujian Pass."

"Even officials from opposing factions, which is why Zhu Shichang said that Yujian Pass was in danger."

Cretaceous dinosaurs were simply not good at socializing, not incapable of using their brains.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing thought it made sense.

As the commander-in-chief, he must know the situation of the various sects within the territory of Yujian Pass.

Well, the main problem is that this area is too barren, with only the Fengyang Sect as a powerful force nearby.

The others were either robbers or bandits; they were the only ones who could help.

"It's that Wen Kang, isn't it?" Chu Danqing immediately locked onto the target.

“It’s possible, and I suspect that old bastard Zhong Hao isn’t telling the truth.” A hint of murderous intent appeared in Elong’s expression: “Wen Kang wouldn’t want to kill him for no reason; there must be some dirt on him.”

Without a conflict of interest, few people would kill someone for no reason.

Unless he's a real psychopath.

But Wen Kang is different; if the other party really wanted to kill someone, why would they go to such great lengths to kill an insignificant person?

“If there’s still no follow-up after we enter the pass,” Elong said, his tone shifting slightly, “I’ll interrogate him. I guarantee he’ll tell me everything.”

He looks shy, but anyone who can reach level 3 is a ruthless person.

Especially since the other party is a dragon vein sorcerer, the savagery in his bloodline is hidden beneath his personality, it just doesn't show up usually.
