Chapter 153 That Was Purely an Accident
Zhou Hanzhang walked to the door and gently pushed it open. This house must have been built a long time ago, because the bamboo door creaked as soon as she moved it so lightly.
The sound startled them and alerted the people inside.
The people inside looked at each other in bewilderment. "Why are there other people here?"
"Never mind, let's go out and take a look."
It was under these circumstances that Zhou Hanzhang saw his father walking out from inside!
Zhou Huaide!
Zhou Hanzhang was stunned on the spot, "Father?"
"Huh?"
Looking at the child who had suddenly appeared before him, Zhou's father was also confused. "Zhang'er?"
He rubbed his eyes. "Zhang'er?"
After being repeatedly called out, Zhou Hanzhang confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed his father, and quickly stepped inside, saying, "Father, what are you doing here?"
Zhou's father looked at Zhou Hanzhang with a puzzled expression, as well as He Shi and Gu Qingfeng standing behind him, "What are you all doing here?"
"No, Father, you and Uncle the Emperor have been missing for so long, shouldn't we come looking for you?"
Zhou Hanzhang was also convinced.
Upon hearing this, Zhou's father became somewhat anxious. "What are you doing here? Didn't I send someone back with the letter to tell you not to worry?"
???
"What letter?"
"No, we arranged for a secret guard to send a letter back to your mother. Didn't she receive it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou's father knew they were completely unaware of the matter and immediately ran back, "Brother, they haven't received the letter!"
Upon hearing Zhou's loud and boisterous father, the emperor inside couldn't help but frown. "No, brother, we haven't been in that letter for very long. Isn't it normal that we haven't received it yet?"
The emperor was truly exasperated by his younger brother. "But how did you know they hadn't received it, and that our people had come from outside?"
It must be said that, as an emperor, he did possess a certain degree of insight.
"Zhang'er is here."
"Zhang'er is here? What's she doing here? Doesn't she know it's so dangerous here?"
The emperor suddenly stood up and shoved Zhou Huaide, who was standing in front of him, aside. "Get out of my way!"
"Zhang'er..." The emperor ignored Zhou Huaide completely, walked past him, and left.
When Zhou Hanzhang saw her father, she knew that the emperor must be with her, so she was not surprised when the emperor came out.
"Uncle Emperor!"
"Zhang'er, why did you come in person?"
The emperor looked at Zhou Hanzhang with a pained expression, and was just about to say something kind when he heard Gu Qingfeng, that tactless fellow, suddenly shout loudly, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Only then did he notice Gu Qingfeng and He Shi, who had already knelt down.
He frowned slightly. "Get up."
He stood respectfully to the side after getting up, fully demonstrating his invisibility.
Gu Qingfeng was overjoyed to see Zhou's father and the emperor. "I never imagined that Your Majesty and Uncle Zhou were really in this rocky mountain. No wonder we've been searching for so long without finding them."
The emperor didn't hear what Gu Qingfeng said at all; he only saw Zhou Hanzhang looking travel-worn and was genuinely distressed.
"Come in and talk, don't stand outside."
After they went inside, Zhou Hanzhang discovered that besides the emperor and his father, there was another person in the house. That person seemed to be the emperor's bodyguard, who was standing to the side.
Zhou Hanzhang looked at him and realized that he seemed to have been answering a question before he came in.
"What is this?" Zhou Hanzhang asked, looking at the scene.
"This person is someone we sent out to contact the outside world, but for some reason, a person with extremely high martial arts skills came to this stone mountain, and this guard was injured by her."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the guard swayed and fainted.
……
"Your Majesty, this person has lost too much blood and is likely not going to make it."
Zhou Huaide frowned as he looked at the bodyguard who had fainted beside him, and went over to examine him, also taking the opportunity to check his pulse.
The emperor sighed, "Let's get him out of here and take good care of him first. If that doesn't work, there's nothing we can do. We'll treat his family well later."
As an invisible man, He Shi nimbly stepped forward to help Zhou Huaide lift the man up and took him away together.
"Uncle, why did you and Father..."
After thinking for a long time, she decided to ask for clarification, "Why are you hiding in this rocky mountain? Do you know that things are in chaos outside?"
Seeing that she had arrived, the emperor no longer intended to hide it. "Zhang'er, you must have learned about this stone mountain before you came, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to find us."
Zhou Hanzhang nodded. "Indeed, the terrain of this stone mountain is very similar to that of Yunmeng Kingdom, and it is also strange and unpredictable. When we came here, we encountered a lot of strange weather and strange formations."
"That's right. Many years ago, our ancestors spent a lot of effort finding many sorcerers to find suitable places on the borders of each small country to carve the terrain map of the other country into it, thus forming the seven stars in a row."
This will protect our Great Zhou from invasion by other countries. Even if they have such intentions, they will be repeatedly defeated under the Seven Stars Alignment and will not be able to harm our Great Zhou in the slightest.
"However, the Imperial Advisor recently discovered that one of the stars in the Seven Stars Alignment is dimmer than the others, and suspects that there might be a problem here. To resolve these issues, I must come here personally, which is why your father accompanied me."
Zhou Hanzhang suddenly realized, "No wonder, I was wondering why you had to come out in person for something so important. But this is too dangerous. How could you sneak out with my father without saying anything? What if something happens?"
"It's alright, I brought a lot of bodyguards with me."
"Are you talking about that one that was almost dead just now?"
"...That was purely accidental. Who knew such a strange woman would come to this rocky mountain?"
"woman?"
"Yes, didn't I tell you earlier?"
"You said someone came and injured the guards, but you didn't tell me whether it was a man or a woman. But I think the person you're talking about must be my master."
"Your master?! When did you become an apprentice? Did you tell your mother? How come you've become an apprentice in such a short time since I left home?"
Just as Zhou Huaide finished helping the guards to rest, he came out and heard these words, and his voice cracked.
Zhou Hanzhang looked at his father and scratched his ear slightly.
The emperor directly roared at him in a low voice, "Why are you shouting like that? Don't frighten Zhang'er. If she wants to become your disciple, then so be it. She's all grown up now. Does she have to report everything to you? She's not your servant."
Zhou Huaide immediately put on a mournful face, "No, Your Majesty, if the person she chooses to study under is not good, Huijun will kill me. Last time, it was just a parrot she bought, and I haven't been able to enter her room for a month. We can't be careless. Everyone knows that Zhang'er is her darling."
