Facing the sharp gaze that pointed directly at people's hearts, Zhang Tie was not afraid to look at the elders of Huaiyuan Hall, "I didn't think I had anything special, I just did what I was supposed to do."
"What you should do" A cold smile appeared on the face of the elder of Huaiyuantang, "Do you know that Huaiyuantang is practicing military law here, what do you think you should do, if you want to deal with it according to military law, it may make you lose your head, Huaiyuantang can stand from scratch to this day, no matter inside or outside the family, it depends on the family regulations and orders left by Huaiyuangong.
Do you think that because you can make a full-effect potion, the family regulations are useless to you, and Huaiyuantang won't dare to kill you?"
"I'm just a little person, I've never felt great, if I break the rules and want my life, Huaiyuantang will naturally dare to kill me" Zhang Tie raised his head, "It's just that people live in the world, and some things must be done" "Oh, you're still reasonable," the elder of Huaiyuan Hall laughed angrily, "Is your reason more important than the rules of the family, you should tell me what your reason is, those people are worthy of you to do this for them" "One of those people once saved my life, and I can't help but repay this kindness, this is one of them."
"The second one" Zhang Tie was silent slightly, and his voice lowered suddenly, but his tone was as hard as iron, "The information that more than one million ordinary people in Tianhan City exchanged for their lives does not belong to a certain person, nor does it belong to the six major families of Jinyun Kingdom and those powerful princes and nobles, no one is qualified and has the right to take this information stained with the blood of more than a million innocents in Tianhan City as his own, and block the news of the holy war, so that more ordinary people can become cannon fodder without any preparation."
"That's what you think," Elder Huaiyuantang's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes," Zhang Tie said louder and louder, and his whole chest also straightened, "These days, there are already many forces and many people who have gotten the news they want from Tianhan City, why are only those big people and big families of the Central Nations Alliance on the mainland who are qualified to know that the Holy War and the Demon Calamity will come in full force as early as next year or even six months, why can't anyone else know this information that is closely related to the fate of each of them?"
The elder of Huaiyuan Hall carefully examined every inch of the expression on Zhang Tie's face, and his sharp gaze was completely as if it was going to penetrate Zhang Tie's eyes and shoot directly into his heart, "Do you want to ask why, because every holy war can last to the end, and it is these people and families who can give the demon race the greatest damage and preserve the most vitality of the human race, and their accumulated strength and organizational ability make them qualified to know more information than ordinary people in advance."
"So ordinary people are destined to be sacrificed?"
The expression on the face of the elder of Huaiyuan Hall was extremely serious, "Have you seen how ants cross the river when the flood comes, ants can't swim, so when they cross the river, they can only roll over tens of thousands of ants in a group, this process, many of those ants in the outermost part will be washed away by the river, only the ants in the middle of the ant group can survive, this holy war, for the human race, is a test for ants to cross the river when the flood comes, and finally, some ants will be washed away by the flood, And some ants can cross the river in front of them, sacrifice is inevitable, in the case of no guarantee that every ant will pass, only those ants with a strong ability to hold together, is the hope for the future of the entire ant population."
Zhang Tie knew that what the elders of Huaiyuan Hall said was right, when the holy war came, the vast majority of ordinary people and ordinary people who did not have a strong force to rely on and hold together would not be able to organize an effective counterattack against the demons at all, they would only run away, run away, run away At this time, the perspective of the big guys is different from their own, the big guys are concerned about the fate of those ant colonies that are huddled, and how many ants will survive in the end, while they want to let those ordinary, unable to huddle, many ants who are destined to be swept away by the flood take a step in advance to prepare a little before the flood comes, they may not be able to roll across the river like other ants, but at least, they can give them a chance to find a leaf for themselves.
Is anyone wrong, no one is wrong, everyone has their own position, although their own ideas are beautiful to the point of being arrogant, but in fact, the "ants" they can help will be very limited, a Thor mercenary group of tens of thousands of people is nothing in the face of such a general trend, nothing is nothing, they can only do their best when they encounter it, but they have a clear conscience.
Because, before coming to Huaiyuantang, their family was the part of the ants who were destined to be swept away by this flood in the eyes of those big people at this moment.
Zhang Tie laughed self-deprecatingly, and it was not until this moment that he realized that even if he was rich now, his status was higher than before, and he could hug the big tree of Huaiyuantang, but he would never be able to become a person like Lan Yunxi or other family elites, because he couldn't think like them at all, and the experience of living at the bottom of Black Flame City since he was a child had been imprinted in his soul, and in his bones, he was a little person, a poor boy, The human punching bag in the Iron Thorn Warhall that would be tempted to do something when he saw someone like him suffer injustice or be destined to be cannon fodder.
Zhang Tie heard Tang De say a sentence before, Tang De said that according to the discovery of human psychologists before the cataclysm, everyone is actually just doing one thing in this life to make the personality formed in their childhood complete.
I can't realize the "good intentions" of the big guys, I just care about making myself feel good in my heart and making the people around me feel good, that is, some of them are obedient and full of rebellious spirit, and then I look forward to this world becoming a paradise where "everyone is equal", is this what my "complete small citizen personality" is looking forward to "This raid on Tianhan City was originally an action that you could not use, no one could force you to come, but you took the initiative to come, responded to the family's call, and fought bravely on the battlefield, taking the lead, I appreciate this" Seeing that Zhang Tie didn't speak, the family elder of Huaiyuantang spoke after taking a sip of tea, "I think you are a first-time offender, and your crime of arsoning into the city without permission this time will be punished as the crime of favoritism in the Huaiyuantang army, and the family reward for this operation Your family contribution points will be cancelled, and you will be punished with 100 lashes, you can be convinced" "The family has family rules and national laws, I do things by myself, since I have violated the rules of Huaiyuantang, I am willing to be punished," Zhang Tie said in a deep voice.
"Okay, I called you this time, in addition to this matter, there is another thing, I also want to tell you that there was a person in the Zhen family who worked in the Dan Pharmacist Union in Jinyun Kingdom, and the last time you ordered a potion bottle, because the number was too large, it attracted the attention of that person, and this is the next thing, the last time I chased and killed you on Qianlong Island, it was also a member of the Zhen family, the Zhen family is a member of the Three-Eyed Society family developed by the demon race in the human race, after knowing the news that you can make a large number of full-effect potions, It is highly likely that the other hidden families and members of the Three Eyes have already known the same information, so you are in a very dangerous situation now."
The news of "the people of the Three-Eyed Society want to kill me" really shook Zhang Tie's heart, originally he thought that it would be almost the same to destroy the Zhen family, but he didn't expect that the Zhen family's bad behavior against him was just the beginning, behind the Zhen family, there was a more mysterious and unpredictable Three-Eyed Society serving the demons at this moment.
"With the style of the Three Eyes Society, when the Holy War is coming, all those who can enhance the overall strength of the human race and help the human race defeat the demon race, they will find a way to get rid of him, the recent assassination of many pill pharmacists in the Weiyi subcontinent and the destruction of the elder family of the Carlo Federation Pill Pharmacist Guild last year, as far as we know now, it seems that they are all from the hands of the Three Eyes Society, and your value is much greater than that of an ordinary senior pill pharmacist, so after knowing your ability, the people of the Three Eyes Society will definitely find a way to get rid of you."
"Thank you for the reminder, I'll take note" "With the exposure of the Zhen family, the Three Eyes will be on the cusp at this moment, and those people may be lurking for a period of time and dare not jump out immediately, so you should still be safe in a short time, but it will be difficult to say after a long time, if you want, the family can send a master to be your bodyguard to ensure your safety" "I think the best protection for me is to disappear so that no one can find me, or simply let the people of the Three Eyes Society feel that trying to kill me will only outweigh the losses, so I will handle this matter myself" Zhang Tie only thought about it for a moment and then rejected the suggestion of the family elder.
A minute later, Zhang Tie, whose face was as heavy as water, left the room of the family elder In all fairness, this time the family's handling of him for bringing people into Tianhan City was not light or serious, it could only be said that it was appropriate, Zhang Tie did not feel that it was unfair, let alone grateful and resentful, this was the price he should pay.
It was only through this incident that he suddenly felt the invisible gap between himself and those big people, and the same gap also existed between him and Huaiyuantang.
This gap is not a conflict of interests, but is purely caused by different values and worldviews.
The kind of indifference that the big people showed to the little people and ordinary people in the matter of Tianhan City made Zhang Tie very uncomfortable.
If this time the Central Nations Alliance of the Mainland or Huaiyuantang can finally issue a detailed announcement, candidly telling the facts about the holy war and the demonic disaster, so that more ordinary people can be prepared, maybe it can save the lives of hundreds of millions of people, but Zhang Tie knows that his idea is just a dream.
When leaving the family elder's room, Zhang Tie's mind flashed the faces of his friends in Black Flame City and Brape, Barry, Owen, Doug, Sista, Baghdad, Wright, Alice, Beverly, Hannah, the girls of the Rose Society, and Teacher Dinah.
These people, Zhang Tie knows, belong to the "ants" who will be washed away by the flood in the mouth of the family elders just now, in the long holy war, their life or death does not matter, it is their luck to survive, and it is natural to die.
Even if the holy war and the demonic plague were imminent, no one felt the need to inform them.
This feeling not only made Zhang Tie uncomfortable, but also some resentment.
Then, Zhang Tie saw Lan Yunxi in the airship, a few days ago Zhang Tie heard that Lan Yunxi forcibly urged her ancestral bloodline when she raided Tianhan City, and killed three Zhen family masters above level ten in one fell swoop, and then she herself was also seriously injured and needed to recuperate for a period of time, and then Lan Yunxi disappeared from the battlefield.
Zhang Tie inquired in many ways, but no one knew where Lan Yunxi went, Zhang Tie thought that Lan Yunxi had returned to Huaiyuan Hall to recuperate, but seeing Lan Yunxi at this moment, Zhang Tie was slightly surprised in his heart.
Lan Yunxi was followed by a man, who was in his twenties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a face like a crown of jade, a huge figure, wearing a blue warrior brocade robe, and a long sword on his waist.
Walking with a woman like Lan Yunxi, that man's aura was not completely overwhelmed by Lan Yunxi, but he still talked and laughed freely.
Zhang Tie walked past the two people expressionlessly, without looking at the two people.
At the moment of passing by Zhang Tie, Lan Yunxi glanced at Zhang Tie, bit her lip slightly, and didn't speak.
As for the man, he directly regarded Zhang Tie as air and passer-by.
The three of them passed by in the airship "Sister Xi, this is the chalcedony nourishing cream of the Tangtai family that I just asked the airship to go to Tsinghua Mountain, and I specially sent it to Sister Xi to regulate her body."
After walking a few steps between the two, Zhang Tie heard the man's voice in his ears, Zhang Tie secretly clenched his fists, and his heart was inexplicably a little pantothenic.
Five minutes later, the scene of Zhang Tie's public torture in the camp of Qianlong Hall attracted many onlookers.
"Zhang Tie, a student of Qianlong Hall, committed the crime of favoritism, and brought people into Tianhan City without permission, and specially canceled all the family contribution points he obtained in this raid on Tianhan City, and sentenced him to 100 lashes, in order to set an example" A picket officer in the Huaiyuantang army loudly announced Zhang Tie's "crime" after seeing a large number of people watching the excitement around, and then asked the soldiers next to him to prepare to execute Zhang Tie.
The people around listened to this, and they all looked at each other, Zhang Tie has performed prominently in Tianhan City in the past few days, and his reputation has gradually become famous, but he didn't expect such a turn to come suddenly, and everyone watched silently.
In front of Zhang Tie, there was a wooden stake more than one person high, and there was an iron chain on the stake that shackled a hand, so that the tortured person would not move during the whipping.
The executing soldier came over and wanted to cuff Zhang Tie's hands to the wooden stake.
"I'll stand here and don't move, you just smoke" Zhang Tie took off his clothes himself, revealing his sturdy back.
"The whipping in the army is not a joke, it is a dragon whip made of mutant killer whales mixed with steel wire, ordinary people, three whips will be whipped and fainted, or be handcuffed, wait for a while when the execution is carried out, if you can't bear to jump or be knocked out and then handcuff you up, it won't look good, I also see your performance in Tianhan City these days is a man, so I remind you" The picket came over and whispered to Zhang Tie.

"Thank you, no need, I was just trying to see if Huaiyuantang's whip could make me sober up", Zhang Tie finished speaking, and smiled at Ma Aiyun and the girls who were looking at him with worried eyes in the distance.
The picket glanced at Zhang Tie, stepped back, and then nodded to a shirtless man with tangled muscles who was holding a whip a few meters away and preparing to be executed, the big man first opened a mahogany box beside him, took out a black whip as thick as a child's arm in the box, raised it, and let the people around him see it clearly, then put the whip in the bucket next to him and soaked it, scooped it up, and then raised his hand and whipped it towards Zhang Tie The whip made a sharp breaking sound and scream, and whipped on Zhang Tie's back, making a strong crisp "pop" All the people around who heard the echoing sound suddenly felt the cold hairs of their skin explode.
Zhang Tie had an extra blood mark on his back, but his body did not move at all, like an iron pillar, and he only frowned slightly.
After the strong man who beat Zhang Tie whipped it, he saw that Zhang Tie didn't react, and he took the whip in his hand to his eyes and looked at it in confusion to see if there was a problem with the whip.
"Smack" "Smack" "Smack" In the blink of an eye, the big man had already drawn more than 20 whips, not only the faces of the onlookers changed, but even the faces of the executioners also changed, and the whip went down, even if it was whipped on the stubborn stone, it could leave a few traces on the stone, let alone a person, but Zhang Tie's body was always like an iron cast, motionless, Zhang Tie didn't say jump up, from behind, even the muscles on Zhang Tie's back didn't twitch.
At the beginning, every time he was whipped, Zhang Tie would frown slightly, and after ten whips, he would not even frown, but looked calm.
People who can resist more than 20 dragon whips without moving, the people around them don't say that they have seen it, or they have not even heard of it.
There were more and more onlookers around, not only the people from Qianlong Hall, but even many soldiers from the Hurricane Legion and the Sunbreaker Legion in Huaiyuan Hall surrounded them.
Anyone who has been whipped, seeing Zhang Tie's performance at the moment, there is no one who is not embarrassed.
After using all his strength to whip more than ten times, the executioner was already slightly gasping for breath.
"The strength is small, haven't you eaten, but it's not enjoyable, come back with another person" Zhang Tie yelled.
As soon as this voice came out, the voices of onlookers in the surrounding crowd immediately shouted, "Good man" The cold-faced picket walked over and took the whip, and then there was a sharper sound of breaking the air and the sound of flesh pumping on Zhang Tie's back.
Then I don't know when it started, every time I smoked a whip, all the onlookers began to report the number loudly for Zhang Tie. “58” “59” “60” The sound of the report grew louder and louder, alarming even those who were far away.
Hearing the louder and louder noise coming from outside the airship, the elder of Huaiyuantang, who had been quietly sipping tea in the room, frowned, and then walked to the window and looked out, because the airship was very tall, and the elder saw Zhang Tie who was standing like an iron pillar at a glance, motionless and being tortured.
At this moment, in the room, in addition to the elder of Huaiyuan Hall, there was another person, and that person also walked to the window and looked at the scene in the distance.
"It's a pity" The man looked at Zhang Tie and shook his head slightly, "This young man is too kind of a woman, since he was assassinated on Qianlong Island, I feel that he seems to have a deep fear of Huaiyuantang, and it seems that he is deliberately keeping a certain distance from Huaiyuantang."
"This is also normal, after all, he has just arrived in Huaiyuan Hall, he has no foundation, he was betrayed and assassinated by the guards sent to him by the family, for a young man who has just mastered the method of making a full-effect potion, he can still maintain the original cooperative relationship with the Changfeng Business Group, and still stay on Qianlong Island, it is already considered courageous" The elder of Huaiyuan Hall, who had just scolded Zhang Tie Yitong, was in a tone of appreciation for Zhang Tie at this moment.
"I think Huaiyuantang should take the production method of the all-effect potion into his own hands, once this young man encounters an accident, in the current situation, it is difficult for a second person to make the same thing, for the sake of the family, such an important thing as the all-effect potion is in the hands of a young man, whether it is for him or for Huaiyuantang, it is not a good thing, this is the same reason as a child holding a treasure through the city."
The elder of Huaiyuantang smiled proudly, "Huaiyuantang can stand so far, relying on it, how can it be a small bottle of potion No matter what, now the manufacturing method of the full-effect potion is in the hands of Huaiyuangong's bloodline and descendants, this is enough, if Huaiyuantang uses the method of cunning and robbery today to make him hand over the full-effect potion and make the family's hearts fall apart, do you think that with the foundation and scale of Huaiyuantang today, as well as the ability of those who are secretly peeping at Huaiyuantang, can Huaiyuantang survive this holy war?"
"But it's a pity" The man sighed and looked at Zhang Tie in the distance, "If this kid is a little more obedient, it won't take a few years, and there will definitely be one more fierce general in Huaiyuan Hall, now, I feel that this kid's mind has not completely stood on the same line as Huaiyuantang, this time he dared to bring people to Tianhan City privately, violating the rules of Huaiyuantang, and I don't know if he will do anything more out of line in the future."
And if these 100 whips are drawn, I'm afraid that no one in Huaiyuan Hall will be able to let him do anything in the future."
"No matter who it is, if he breaks the rules, he will be punished in the future, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to betray Huaiyuantang, deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and do things that harm the interests of Huaiyuantang, even if he is a little deviant, a huge Huaiyuantang, he will not tolerate a freak, let him do well, everything depends on his own creation, how well the investigation of that matter is" "It has been determined, the suspicion of this kid can be ruled out, one is that his ability is still a little insufficient, especially when he raided the conference room of the Zhen Clan, there were so many people in the conference room, with his ability, he couldn't kill all those people in a short time, especially when some people didn't have time to move at all, second, he drank with people in Jinwu Fort until late at night that night, and everything was normal the next day, still on Qianlong Island, unless he could fly, Otherwise, it would not be possible to travel back and forth across the sea for thousands of miles overnight, and do such a thing, there was no record of the departure of airships and ships on Qianlong Island that night, and there was no record of airships entering the waters of Qianlong Island the next morning, third, the most important thing is, how did he know the layout of the Zhen family in Huaiyuan Hall When the Zhen family planned Huaiyuan Hall, he was still in Black Flame City, so the only thing we can be sure of now is that the Zhen Family Hall was slaughtered, and there must be a master who cultivated the Iron Blood God Fist involved. ” "Who could it be," the family elder of Huaiyuan Hall also frowned.
In another room of the airship, Lan Yunxi looked at Zhang Tie in the distance, and his face turned a little pale. “97” “98” “99” “100” With the last explosion of leather whipping meat, the earth-shattering counting sound around stopped after a hundred, and the surroundings were quiet, everyone looked at Zhang Tie, and Ma Aiyun, who had a good relationship with Zhang Tie, and several other girls had already run over with tears in their eyes.
Yuan Ziyi took out the trauma medicine without any scruples, and wiped it on Zhang Tie's back, while Gu Caidie hurriedly picked up Zhang Tie's clothes and draped them on Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie looked at the clouds in the distance, the clouds looked like ants for a while, and like a dragon for a while, the 100 whips just now really woke him up, just now, in that terrible pain, his brain was unprecedentedly clear, looking at the clouds in the sky, it made him understand a lot of things at once.
"Zhang Tie, are you okay" Seeing that Zhang Tie seemed to be a little out of the world, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, Ma Aiyun touched Zhang Tie's forehead and asked worriedly, afraid that Zhang Tie would be directly pulled out.
"Senior Sister Ma, I'm fine" Zhang Tie grinned with bared teeth, and only when he saw Zhang Tie's smile did Ma Aiyun let go of his worries.
I didn't feel anything when I was pumped just now, but at this moment, Zhang Tie wanted to move his hand, and when he took out something from his bag, he moved his hand, and he felt that his whole body was like being cut into many pieces, which made Zhang Tie's face slightly distorted.
"What do you want to take, I'll help you" Ma Aiyun pressed Zhang Tie's hand, "Is it a full-effect potion?"
"No, it's a wallet" Zhang Tie said to Ma Aiyun while gasping for air, "Trouble Senior Sister Ma, take out my wallet, there is money in it, Senior Sister Ma, you help me go to the logistics office to buy wine and meat for 150 people."
"At this time, you are still thinking about eating and drinking," Ma Aiyun's eyes widened suddenly.
"Tonight, I promised to invite some cavalry brothers of the Taishi family to drink, I can't break my promise, you guys come too, and when Liu Xu and them come back, I will call them again, even if I practice it" "What, you're leaving" Hearing this, Yuan Ziyi, who had been helping Zhang Tie apply the wound medicine, suddenly shook his hand, making Zhang Tie's brows jump again.
Zhang Tie nodded, "I feel that it is a little inappropriate for me to continue to stay here now" Zhang Tie finished speaking, and saw that the faces of several girls instantly darkened, and a sunny smile appeared on Zhang Tie's face, and he lowered his voice all of a sudden, and said with some sinister eyebrows, "Do you want to see me pouting my ass and sleeping every day, I don't know if my posture is sexy, if a few senior sisters want to see it, they will quietly come to Jinwu Fort to find me in the future, I will let you visit for free, you can wear pants or not" Yuan Ziyi, who wanted to cry inexplicably just now, suddenly burst into tears and smiled, and without paying attention to the force in his hand, Zhang Tie suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream, and the whole person almost jumped up, "Ah, my mother, light" The people around looked at Zhang Tie with admiration in their eyes and wanted to come around, as soon as they heard Zhang Tie's pig-like voice, they suddenly stopped and looked at each other, how did the tough guy just now disappear as soon as the whip was finished, could it be that the smoke was all finished just now, how good it would be if it was pretended to be a while, why did it finally diarrhea On this night, Zhang Tie, Tai Shici, Liu Xu, Yang Yuankang, Ma Aiyun, etc., as well as a cavalry of the Taishi family, were drunk on a bonfire outside the field At night, a half-drunk Zhang Tie returned to his tent, and in the middle of the night, a figure got into Zhang Tie's tent.
"Horse Master" Zhang Tie, who woke up all of a sudden, just shouted two words, but was gagged by a somewhat hot face Spring dreams without a trace It's almost more than 7,600 words to ask for a monthly pass:
