Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 908 - 842: A Big Surprise for You!

After driving away the Black and White Shadows, Zhang San realized he was being watched.

And it was likely because of Kaihuang.

However, since the enemy had already fled, it was unlikely they’d return anytime soon.

In that case, he thought it better to go see Kaihuang first.

So, Zhang San entered the Secret Realm of the Spear.

During this time, Kaihuang was alone in a small room in the Secret Realm, feeling very bored.

Although Zhang San had found many books for Kaihuang to read.

But the books Zhang San carried were primarily various training Secret Manuals. While they seemed helpful, Kaihuang was now in soul form and couldn’t train; it was all just for show.

Initially, Kaihuang was patient, but eventually, he started to feel uninterested.

Fortunately, by then, Zhang San finally arrived.

Kaihuang immediately held Zhang San’s hand warmly, eager to chat with him.

Zhang San promptly inquired about Pei Renwu’s situation.

After all, Pei Renwu had left the Capital many years ago, and the information Zhang San had might no longer be relevant.

Thankfully, Kaihuang had always kept an eye on Pei Renwu.

This person, although he worked at the Ministry of War and even served as Minister of War, was fundamentally soft-hearted.

This was one of the reasons why Kaihuang later removed him from the Capital.

After all, such a person was unfit to remain at the Ministry of War.

Although he was good to his subordinates, his kindness made him unsuitable for high positions.

From Kaihuang’s perspective, how could you, a Minister of War, be so lenient to your lower officers? What’s your intention?

And Pei Renwu’s weakness was his family.

Being inherently kind, he naturally valued his family greatly.

This was consistent with what Zhang San had previously learned.

After understanding Pei Renwu’s matter, Zhang San continued to ask, "Kaihuang, do you know where you’ll go after you die?"

Kaihuang, puzzled, replied, "When people die, don’t they all go to the Yin Underworld? Why do you ask?"

Seeing Kaihuang’s reaction, Zhang San realized Kaihuang definitely didn’t know about the Black and White Shadows.

"Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just going to quell the rebellion, and I’m a bit worried. In case there’s too much killing during the suppression, wouldn’t that be bad? Ultimately, they’ll report me in the Underworld."

Hearing this, Kaihuang was about to comfort Zhang San, saying those rebels are all Rebels and Traitors. But then he realized, theoretically speaking, both the current Red Emperor and Zhang San were Rebels and Traitors as well.

Thinking further, he realized that although he founded Great Sui, he was technically a Rebel and Traitor too.

Alas—

Kaihuang sighed helplessly.

Then Zhang San produced some new books he had recently gathered for Kaihuang.

"Your Majesty, I know you find it boring in this little room, and those Secret Manuals may seem dull. So I specially asked two Officers under me for some books they carried. Since I can’t reveal your existence, I can only get whatever they have. Please take a look. Next time I visit, I’ll prepare something different for you."

"Alright!"

Kaihuang was quite happy, not just because of the new books, but because Zhang San still treated him well, despite him being dead and no longer the Kaihuang he once was.

This sentiment truly moved Kaihuang.

After Zhang San left, Kaihuang looked at the two piles of books on the table and ground, and gleefully picked one up.

"A Grand Feast of Sword South Path Hot Pot"

"A Hundred and Eight Clashes of Spice and Numbness"

"There’s Nothing a Braised Lamb Dish Can’t Solve"

Looking at these, Kaihuang did feel a bit hungry.

However, in his soul form, he couldn’t eat anything.

Zhang San seemed reliable, so how come the Officers under him can only think about food!

Next time they meet, he must talk to Zhang San about being cautious with employing people!

Then Kaihuang sat on the ground and opened a book from the pile.

Surely, the other Officer’s books couldn’t all be about food?

As expected, after taking a look, they indeed had nothing to do with food.

"A Hundred and One Meetings Between the Domineering Prince and His Consort"

"Three Lifetimes: A Mighty Wind Blows Down a Field of Wilted Peach Blossoms"

"Tonight’s Sweat Fluids of the Prince"

"Desires Behind the Courtyard Flowers of the Prince"

"Prince, I Want Tonight’s..."

Though Kaihuang only looked at some titles, for some reason, peculiar scenes started appearing in his mind.

"Am I really in the Secret Realm created by Zhang San’s weapon, and not in hell?"

...

Early the next day, Baili Niezhen had a carriage prepared, with some fine wine Zhang San brought back from Longyou Road, driven by other maids, heading towards Long Xutuo’s military camp.

Even before noon, Long Xutuo was waiting at the camp gate.

He never anticipated Zhang San would actually come.

Moreover, looking at the entourage behind Zhang San, besides his sworn brother Wang Ziteng, there was only the rumored half-demon maid squad that always accompanied Zhang San.

If half-demons count as people, Zhang San brought a total of fifteen individuals.

This somewhat shocked Long Xutuo.

Long Xutuo thought Zhang San wouldn’t bring nearly five thousand people, but it would be normal to have a guard squad of a couple of hundred.

Perhaps there were some Purple Mansion Realm experts hidden among them.

But today, Zhang San came with only his maids and sworn brother, just like visiting a friend’s place for a meal.

"General Long, we meet again. Do me a favor, I brought quite a bit of good wine today. Let’s not leave until we’re drunk!"

At this moment, faced with Zhang San’s candor and generosity, Long Xutuo felt somewhat guilty, and a bit inferior.

Look at him, upright and forthright, treating himself as a friend, sincere and genuine.

Yet, he had hidden troops ready in the camp, a true lowly act.

"Great General Zhang, please come inside!"

Long Xutuo followed Zhang San inside, feeling more guilty with each step.

So, just before they reached the tent, Long Xutuo suddenly shouted, "Great General Zhang, I prepared a really big surprise knowing you’d visit today!"

Zhang San curiously asked, "What kind of surprise? You wouldn’t have invited all the generals of Sword South Path to meet me, would you?"

Hearing Zhang San’s words, many generals hidden around the camp shivered internally.

Did this guy realize we were here ahead of time?

Long Xutuo didn’t expect Zhang San to say that.

But he had already made up his mind, even if Zhang San didn’t mention it, he would have done it.

"That’s right! I specially invited all the generals of Sword South Path! Let everyone get to know each other, have some fun!"

At that moment, the hidden generals could no longer stay concealed, and had to come out, all armored up, with forced smiles, to greet Zhang San.

"And over there, that’s our Sword South Path Grand Commander-in-Chief, Pei Renwu!"

At this moment, still hiding, Pei Renwu desperately wanted to curse!
