In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Chapter 818 The Arrival of Manager Feng

"Manager Feng has arrived."

Three days later, a carriage from Jiangnan stopped in front of the Yingbin Building.

At this moment, Zhang Sheng, along with Lü Zhi and Lü Su, were already waiting to greet them in front of the Yingbin Building. Bixie Jianyu Huatian led dozens of merchant guards to clear the area, and even Ouyang Mingri looked curiously at the carriage pulled by the dragon elephant horse.

While the dragon-elephant colt is not a secret, it is still a rare sight in Kyushu.

After all, families that can afford to raise dragon-shaped steeds keep such fine horses extremely secret, for fear of any damage.

The old man driving the car was Juezhi, a peerless master in the martial arts world and the head of the Zhang family's guards.

Even the Dragon Emperor did not have the honor of having a peerless master drive the chariot.

But the Zhang family had the financial backing to do so, so those watching from all around knew that an important figure from the Zhang family had come to Yingbinlou.

"mother!"

Zhang Sheng stepped forward, his heart also filled with longing.

He left home young and returned old, and in all these years he had only seen Manager Feng a few times.

Therefore, looking at the beautiful figure slowly descending from the carriage, his excitement was evident on his face.

Amidst surprise and curiosity, everyone looked towards the three stunningly beautiful women who alighted from the carriage. One possessed an air of elegance and nobility, an innate charm, and unparalleled beauty that seemed to reign supreme over the land.

The other two stunning beauties were female sword attendants, dressed in fine silk blue robes, jade belts and cloud-patterned shoes, and with tall and proud figures.

But the sword in his hand and the sharp gaze sweeping around him still shook Ouyang Mingri and the others to their core.

Master!

Moreover, he is a top-tier swordsman at the pinnacle of skill.

"Safety!"

"mother!"

Even though the son had grown up and avoided his mother, the shopkeeper's beautiful eyes were still filled with emotion after years of longing.

"Zhi'er (Su'er) greets Auntie!"

Having seen Zhang Xiaoshan's example, Lü Zhi and Lü Su now realized that the beautiful woman before them, whom even they felt ashamed of, was their future mother-in-law.

She possessed a stunningly beautiful face, just over twenty years old, in the prime of her life, and breathtakingly gorgeous, which they couldn't help but envy.

Keep in mind that Manager Feng joined the Zhang family thirty years ago and was already in her early twenties.

She later rose to prominence from the Zhang family and became the head manager of the Hong Mansion. Now, nearly thirty years later, she is still incredibly beautiful and stunning.

"You must be Zhi'er and Su'er. Ping An has excellent taste!"

Looking at her future daughter-in-law, even Manager Feng couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

Lü Su is innocent and charming, clearly without much guile, and has a pure heart.

With her phoenix-like eyes that embody the majesty of an empress, Manager Feng also understood Zhang Xiaoshan's intention in arranging for the Lü sisters. Who wouldn't want their son to have a better life and one day rule the world, hoping their son would become a "dragon"?

Therefore, a true love and a virtuous wife are the best choices.

As for vowing to die for true love?

The Zhang family was no ordinary aristocratic family, and moreover, Zhang Sheng had no choice but to accept Lü Zhi's ambitions.

Lü Su was persuaded by Lü Zhi to accept the idea of ​​sharing a husband with her sister.

After all, Zhang Sheng's lowest position in the future would be the King of Donghai. If the Zhang family takes any step forward, Zhang Sheng will become the supreme ruler of the Nine Provinces, and he cannot possibly have only one wife.

With Lü Zhi providing mutual support and being Zhang Shengxian's right-hand woman, Lü Su, even if unwilling, had no choice but to accept this fact.

After all, it was Zhang Xiaoshan, the future father-in-law, who first brought it up.

Then came two more gifts: a set of top-grade blood jade bracelets and a set of imperial green bracelets of the same quality, which were given to Lü Zhi and Lü Su respectively.

Three meetings, three precious meetings, even Lü Zhi and Lü Su couldn't help but marvel at the Zhang family's wealth and power.

"Master Juezhi, Sister Xuan, Sister Ling!"

Zhang Sheng came to his senses and greeted the head monk and the two female sword attendants one by one.

Juezhi's status goes without saying; he's an elder of the Zhang family.

Yang Xuan and Yuan Ling'er were female sword attendants of the Zhang family. They joined the Zhang family only a year after Zhang Sheng was born.

Otherwise, with their stunning beauty, these two female sword attendants would have already been considered by Manager Feng (bjca) as potential daughters-in-law.

However, the two female sword attendants are exceptionally talented. At this time, they have already cultivated the Nine Yin Divine Skill to the peak of the eighth level. Reaching the ninth level is only a matter of three years.

In another ten years, I will reach the peak of the ninth level.

Perhaps because they were like 'aunts' who watched Zhang Sheng grow up, neither of the two women had any feelings for Zhang Sheng; it was just the concern of an elder.

"Greetings, young master!"

The three bowed to each other, surprised that the third generation of the Zhang family had also started to settle down and start families.

As the group entered the welcoming building, the assembled martial arts heroes and members of the prominent families of Shen Du suddenly realized that it was none other than Manager Feng from Jiangnan.

Considering Zhang Sheng's upcoming wedding, and given that his route clearly leads to the capital and Jiangnan, it's clear he intends to meet the Zhang family.

Because of the decisive battle, Manager Feng had to personally come to the capital to visit her future daughter-in-law.

"Oh right, this is something the Divine Eagle delivered on the way."

It was another palm-sized jade box containing tiger bone ointment, which was also remarkably effective in promoting bone healing.

However, their focuses are different. The Black Jade Bone-Mending Ointment is mainly effective in healing bones, while the Tiger Bone Ointment is more nourishing and strengthens muscles and bones. Only when they are used together can Ouyang Mingri's leg injury be perfectly cured.

However, Ouyang Mingri's leg injury was congenital, not acquired, so it was best to combine it with Zhang Xiaoshan's Pure Yang Finger.

"As for your father, he has many things to do on the plains outside the Great Wall and cannot get away for the time being."

However, he will come before the final battle. And Ouyang Mingri's situation isn't just a simple leg injury; his background is somewhat unusual, and your father has other plans for him.

What is Ouyang Mingri's background?

Upon hearing Manager Feng's explanation, even Ouyang Mingri's pupils shrank, and he looked at Manager Feng in disbelief.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan not only received the news that he had only come to the Zhang family to ask for medicine, but was also able to find out his hidden background.

Is the Zhang family's intelligence network already terrifyingly powerful?

"I know, kid!"

Zhang Sheng naturally knew the importance of the matter, and Zhang Xiaoshan's ability to have the Divine Eagle deliver tiger bone ointment indicated that he was not hostile towards Ouyang Mingri. However, Ouyang Mingri's background was not simple.

But what does this have to do with him?

Therefore, he nodded to Ouyang Mingri and sent him the tiger bone ointment.

He didn't care whether Ouyang Mingri stayed or left.

If Ouyang Mingri leaves, the Zhang family won't care about this little bit of spiritual medicine, which only shows that Ouyang Mingri is nothing special.

"Thank you ma'am."

"It's just a little tiger bone ointment, Young Master Ouyang, you don't need to be so polite."

As for the young master's congenital ailment, his husband will personally help him restore the essential energy within his body.

However, my husband's help came with conditions, but it was also a fortuitous encounter with Young Master Ouyang, a mutually beneficial arrangement.

condition?

This is the real Zhang family, or rather, the price Zhang Xiaoshan paid for his actions.

However, Ouyang Mingri did not refuse. Perhaps this was in line with his values. Favors are not easy to owe, and having conditions would at least put his mind at ease.

Chapter 819 The Continuation of the Shocking Plan – The Black Swordsman

Congratulations, Young Master Ouyang!

On the third day, everyone watched as Ouyang Mingri stood up again.

The combination of Black Jade Bone-Mending Ointment and Tiger Bone Ointment allowed Ouyang Mingri, whose leg bone had just been mended, to walk upright again after only one day of recuperation.

However, Zhang Sheng's Longevity Qi also played a crucial role in this, using Pure Yang Finger Force to open up the meridians in his legs and nourish his muscles and bones. This allowed Ouyang Mingri to absorb the medicinal power of the two extraordinary medicines so quickly, a miracle akin to flesh turning to bone.

At this time, Ouyang Mingri's leg injury had basically healed.

If it weren't for a doctor's extraordinary medical skills, it would be impossible to sense the hidden injuries within the body.

A rare congenital disease.

A leg injury is just a leg injury; it's only superficial.

The rare disease is congenital and incurable in Kyushu. The disability of both legs is merely an external manifestation of the congenital rare disease.

"Ouyang thanks Master Zhang and Young Master Zhang for their help, which has made it possible for me to stand up today."

Previously, Ouyang Mingri, who was in a wheelchair, ranked twenty-third on the Dragon and Phoenix List.

Ouyang Mingri, who stood up at this moment, could enter the top twenty of the Jianghu Dragon and Phoenix Ranking, and his future was limitless.

After all, there are many geniuses under the age of twenty-five in Kyushu. To be ranked among the top twenty is to be the cream of the crop. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, there is a 50% chance that one can reach the peerless realm.

Even with Manager Feng standing to the side, he still had a smile on his face.

In the future, Zhang Sheng will need the help of others to make his way in the world and even achieve great things.

Ouyang Mingri is an excellent assistant. He is not only highly skilled in medicine and martial arts, but also has a wealth of knowledge and is fully capable of handling things on his own.

"Haha, young master, your mobility is excellent, which allows you to treat more patients. The Zhang family has made a contribution to Kyushu, which is our duty."

Zhang Yuan nodded to Ouyang Mingri, expressing his high regard for him.

If it weren't for the fact that his granddaughter is at least ten years younger than Ouyang Mingri, he might be a good grandson-in-law.

After all, his heart is with his grandson who's already getting married.

Moreover, the Zhang family does good deeds with the aim of accumulating merit.

Sai Huatuo was a legendary physician of his time. He started practicing medicine at the age of eighteen and has treated at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, patients over the years.

Winning over Sai Huatuo would also greatly benefit the Zhang family's reputation.

Simply by providing free medical consultations at a few of the Zhang family's pharmacies, they were able to establish a tremendous reputation for the Zhang family.

"By the way, Feng'er, when will that boy arrive?"

"My husband has a lot of things to do on the plains outside the pass."

Especially with Ping An's upcoming wedding, the construction of the Donghai Prince's Mansion and the overall layout of the Guanwai Plain will likely keep him occupied for some time.

But my husband will come three days before the decisive battle against the Black Swordsman, so don't worry, Father.

"The plains outside the pass? That is indeed a good place."

If the Dragon Emperor were alive, he would never have given up an inch of the empire's land. What a pity..."

The Later Jin dynasty occupied valuable land outside the Great Wall, but wasted its land resources.

Black soil is the finest fertile land, and the well-developed plains outside the Great Wall are known as the granary of the world, which is why the Zhang family had long noticed it.

However, the Later Jin Empire always pursued an exploitative policy and was not friendly to the Han people, resulting in extremely low utilization of fertile land.

Therefore, only a small amount of the real black soil has been utilized.

Even so, the Later Jin Empire was always in a state of abundant food.

However, as the saying goes, "when people are well-fed and warm, they think of sex." The reason why the area outside the Great Wall is called the area outside the Great Wall is because of its harsh climate and the fact that it is inhabited mostly by burly men from the Northeast.

After becoming powerful, nature yearned for the prosperity of Jiangnan and the elegance of the Southern Dynasties.

If Zhang Yuan hadn't also known the value of this black soil, he wouldn't have cared so much about the development of the plains outside the Great Wall.

If developed well, this will truly become the granary of the world.

The current empire, simply because it had pacified the Later Jin and Goguryeo and eliminated the threat from beyond the Great Wall, generously granted the Zhang family control of 'Shanhaiguan' in exchange.

Hu Hai was not a dragon emperor, but he possessed the ambition to sweep across the world.

As long as the territory within the nine passes is under our control, the entire land will be unified and the world will be at peace.
