Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

Just as the two were making their pinky promise, there was a knock on the door.

Tuk-tuk-tuk~

"Master Zhang, I am Shunfeng'er from the Tianji Pavilion, here to keep my appointment!"

Chapter 287 One call and hundreds of responses

"The current situation in Xuanwu Kingdom is that the royal palace has completely disappeared, and all sorts of rumors are spreading throughout the land. The rebels have the support of the Kingdom of Ster. If they succeed, Xuanwu Kingdom will probably become a vassal state of the Kingdom of Ster."

"The royal family has now completely lost the support of the people. Everyone wants them to disappear. Only a few gangs that are deeply entangled with them are still on their side," Shunfeng'er slowly explained.

"I see." Zhang Shan was somewhat surprised, but upon closer reflection, it seemed that the collapse of feudal dynasties was always due to external factors.

"I wonder which side Master Zhang intends to stand on?" Shunfeng'er looked at Zhang Shan. With Zhang Shan's prestige, as long as he takes a side, many neutral factions in Xuanwu Kingdom will follow his lead.

"Which side?" Zhang Shan laughed. "Of course I'm on my side!"

He stood up, handed the newly made leaflet to Shunfeng'er, and said, "I plan to establish my own organization. I don't reject advanced technology, but I won't allow the people of Ster to interfere in the affairs of our Xuanwu Kingdom; our internal affairs should be resolved by our own people."

"Establish your own organization?" Shunfeng'er was taken aback for a moment, then understood Zhang Shan's meaning and said with a wry smile, "Then I wish you great hero Zhang a swift success!"

After Shunfeng'er finished collecting the flyers, Zhang Shan sat down and leisurely drank tea.

Eleven asked in a low voice, "Master, are you planning to become the emperor?"

"No," Zhang Shan shook his head and said, "Being an emperor is too tiring; it would greatly reduce my personal time. I absolutely will not become emperor!"

"I see~ So, Master, who do you plan to entrust this country to? It can't be Ah Qi, can it? That guy is dull-witted and not cut out to be an emperor."

"You'll find out later."

Two days later.

Yunfu Ravine.

Zhang Shan continued walking at a leisurely pace. At this moment, besides his eldest disciple, Eleven, he was followed by seven or eight hundred people.

After Shunfeng'er relayed Zhang Shan's idea, within just two days, these people came to Zhang Shan and followed him to do great things!

Whizzing!

Two hidden weapons came flying, heading straight for Zhang Shan's head.

Ding~!

With a slight twitch of his eleven fingers, he easily deflected the sneak attack.

"Who!" The burly man stared with his tiger-like eyes, and the next moment, his figure vanished instantly, his large hand slamming down on the rocks in the mountains!

Rumble!

With an explosion, the blood-red figure, blasted into pieces, fell helplessly and crashed in front of Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan used his sword to pry open the other person's mask, revealing an indescribable face.

"Ugh~ another assassin~" Zhang Shan waved his hand dismissively and said, "Alright, let's keep going!"

"Master Zhang, there's one more!" someone reminded him.

"Alright, he didn't do anything, so we don't need to pay attention to him."

"This……"

The people behind him looked at each other, and seeing that Zhang Shan had already walked far away, they quickly followed in his footsteps.

"What Master Zhang says is true. He's just a coward hiding his face and not worth worrying about!"

As the group left, the person hiding in the shadows peeked out slightly.

"Phew~ I almost died..."

However, less than a second after that sigh, a bloody gash appeared on his neck.

"you……"

He wanted to see who did it, but even this small wish was not fulfilled.

Shiyi approached Zhang Shan and whispered, "Master..."

"No need for further words." Zhang Shan patted the back of her hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

Seeing Zhang Shan's calm expression, Shi Yi felt much more at ease.

Their team wasn't large, but it contained a variety of characters.

There were members of the Assassin's Guild, people from the Reformation, robots from the Kingdom of Ster, and spies from various other small countries.

The most obvious one was the muscular man from Shigenguo. Zhang Shan glanced at him and realized that he had only reached the third level of the Vajra Boy Skill, which was incredibly weak.

Zhang Shan wasn't in a hurry to refine the team; the team had just been built up and was in need of manpower.

We can purify it gradually once we have a slightly larger population.

That's the good thing about the extraordinary world: when eliminating people, you can just use your own extraordinary martial arts, without needing too much external force.

The growth of his team was easier than Zhang Shan had imagined; in just one month, he had gathered more than 60,000 men under his command!

Because Zhang Shan was a purely local force of Xuanwu Kingdom, without being funded or infiltrated by Ster Kingdom, and without any members of the old royal family, it was a pure local uprising. This instantly gave him an unshakable weight in the hearts of the people of Xuanwu Kingdom!

Moreover, and most importantly, although Zhang Shan was strict with his subordinates, he never skimped on their resources. When there were good things, he would genuinely distribute them!

In just one month, Zhang Shan handed over all the advanced firearms and robots he had captured to his subordinates. These things were trash to him, but to the Xuanwu people who had never seen high technology before, they were incredibly useful!

Especially firearms; with these, even ordinary people can have considerable combat capabilities!

Even if they are assassinated by those with some martial arts skills, they can try to fight back with guns, unlike before when they could only stand there and wait to die.

"Hero Zhang!" The burly man walked up to Zhang Shan, his face full of admiration, and said, "Hero! The city lord of Qing Shi City has sent someone with a token, surrendering unconditionally!"

"Really? So cowardly?" Zhang Shan raised an eyebrow. "Is there some kind of conspiracy involved?"

Qingshi City was not the first city to surrender; otherwise, Zhang Shan's army would not have expanded so quickly.

Within a month, almost all the cities surrounding Xuanwu Kingdom had been destroyed.

In the past, these city lords fought desperately against the reformers and refused to let them into the city. Why did they all give in so easily when it came to me?

The man chuckled and said, "That must be because of your unparalleled charm, Master Zhang! You conquered them with your personality!"

"Hmm~ Well said~" Zhang Shan nodded with a satisfied look, but the man's face fell. Sure enough, Zhang Shan's next words did not disappoint his gloomy expression.

"Later, you'll lead a group to absorb the people of Qing Shi City. Don't let anything go wrong."

"Yes……"

The man left dejectedly. Seeing this, Eleven chuckled and said, "Haha~ Master! Look how scared you've made the mighty General!"

"Who told him to like flattering others?" Zhang Shan laughed. "If he's good at flattering, the good jobs will naturally fall into his hands."

As the two were talking, a homeless man led a young man in white over.

From a distance, Ah Qi sprinted over: "Old Zhang! I've been looking for you for so long!"

Zhang Shan sidestepped, thus avoiding the disaster of having a man on top of another man.

"What do you want with me? Shouldn't you be looking for Miss Mei?" Zhang Shan teased.

Ah Qi scrambled to his feet and said with difficulty, "Miss Mei said she's joined your team, that's why I came to find you~"

"Mei Hua Thirteen is under my command?" Zhang Shan looked at Eleven.

"That's right, my little sister joined a while ago, but she left the group yesterday and went to Plum Blossom Manor on her own."

"What are you going there for?" Zhang Shan asked, puzzled. Logically speaking, the younger girls like Shiyi shouldn't be interested in the Plum Blossom Hero.

Now that Thirteen has learned the complete Qingyun Sword Technique, there's no reason for him to go to Master Plum Blossom to ask how to use the sword technique again, right?

"I heard that Qingfeng appeared there, and Thirteen went to find Master," Eleven said with a soft laugh.

"I see!" Ah Qi suddenly clapped his hands and turned to leave.

"Hey!" Zhang Shan quickly stopped him: "Since we're already here, let's go together. We're going to the area near Plum Blossom Manor anyway."

"Is that so? That's great! I don't know the way either," Ah Qi said with a smile.

"By the way, why did it take you so long to arrive in Xuanwu Kingdom?" Eleven asked Ah Qi and Lanminghua.

"Well... there was a little accident on the way..." Ah Qi scratched his head sheepishly.

"An accident? Where did you go?" Eleven asked curiously, looking at the two of them.

"Well...we went for a stroll around somewhere else~"

"First we went to Shennong Kingdom, then to Shigeng Kingdom, and then we went on a trip to Mala Kingdom. In the end, I was the one who brought him back," Lanminghua replied, picking his nose.

"Huh?" Eleven's delicate face was somewhat blank. She racked her brains but still couldn't understand why these two had such a... packed schedule.

"What's the big deal?" Lanminghua said calmly. "We're just going to another country for a trip to broaden our horizons."

"So, the curse of hedonism on Ah Qi has been lifted?" Zhang Shan asked.

"Living a life of debauchery?" Lanminghua looked at Aqi with some surprise in his eyes.

"No, I just wandered into the Shennong Kingdom by mistake, and I didn't go to see the divine doctor," Aqi explained.

"Oh? You're not in a hurry to look for the past?"

"I'm not curious. All I want to do right now is go to the beach with Miss Mei~" Ah Qi said with a lewd smile. It was obvious that this guy was thinking about something indecent.

"This guy is hopeless," Lanminghua muttered. He had been spending a lot of time with Aqi and was already very familiar with how unreliable the guy was.

"Wait, you're going to the beach with Thirteen?" Eleven stared wide-eyed at Seven in disbelief. "You mean, that idiot straight girl agreed to your date?"

“A straight woman…” Ah Qi scratched his head and then said, “Although Miss Mei did not give a direct answer, I think it should be close.”

"So, you're still completely clueless, right?" Eleven teased. "I told you that straight woman wouldn't be so easy to handle."

Ah Qi and Hua Zai stayed with the army. Ah Qi asked curiously, "What's the situation with you now? Are you going to attack the palace?"

"Should we attack?" Zhang Shan was a little uncertain, because he hadn't encountered any obstacles along the way; everything had gone smoothly.

Zhang Shan estimated that he would encounter resistance when he reached several cities near the capital of Xuanwu Kingdom.

After all, the current royal family was destroyed by a meteorite, which, in the eyes of the feudal people of Xuanwu Kingdom, was a sign that Heaven was going to destroy them.

So Zhang Shan only distributed some flyers, and with the fame he had accumulated in Xuanwu Kingdom, he was able to gather so many people in a short period of time.
