Castle of Black Iron - Chapter 1708

Chapter 1708

Zhang Tie had Hong Yukun fetch Xu Gang so that they could have a drink and free chat in the pavilion together . When they almost finished those flagons of wine, the night gradually fell . However, it was still snowing .

“Director, the guards would change shifts . I got to take a look outside…” Xu Gang stood up with a slight blush as he cleaned his mouth, asking to leave here, “As you’ve just delivered some good wine to them, those assh*les didn’t drink it when they were on duty; after hearing the news, I’m afraid they couldn’t wait anymore . Let me take a look over there . I will distribute the wine to them when they are off duty . Without director’s gift, those b*stards could never enjoy such a good wine for the rest of their lives . Those wine bibbers in the camp had already changed their eye colors when they smelled the wine; I have to go there to prevent them from stealing it…”

“Well, you can leave!” Zhang Tie said as he waved his hand with blurry eyes . After that, he ordered Hong Yukun on his side, “Official Hong, spare a jar of wine for General Xu so that he could bring it back home!”

“Yes, sir!”

“Thanks for your gift, director…” Xu Gang said as he revealed a smile . After giving a salute to Zhang Tie, Xu Gang left the pavilion .

“Director, do we need some more food?” Hong Yukun asked in a low voice .

“No need . You could leave too . After taking a short rest upstairs, I will go back home too . I’m afraid that I will not come here tomorrow . Oh, prepare one more jar of Jade Spirit Pulp for me . Hang it on my flying lizard . I will take it back home…”

“Yes, sir . Do you have any other order, director?”

Zhang Tie waved his hand silently as he stood up and went upstairs .

In a split second, Hong Yukun had fetched some maids and servants to clean the table . After that, he closed the gate and left the pavilion .

On the second floor, lying on the bed, although Zhang Tie didn’t open his eyes, he still knew that everyone had left the pavilion . Actually, the entire Dragon Emperor Pavilion was within the sphere of the effect of Zhang Tie’s spiritual energy . Zhang Tie could even “see” clearly each snowflake in the sky .

The moment Hong Yukun left the pavilion, Zhang Tie had opened his eyes as he didn’t look drunk at all .

Within 1,000 m, no immortal human general was paying attention to this pavilion anymore .

Closely after that, Zhang Tie took off all of his clothes as fast as possible . After that, he pointed at his central forehead while a body-separation immortal rune flew out of there . In a split second, another Zhang Tie had appeared in the room . At the same time, Zhang Tie’s awareness divided into two halves, one on his original body, the other on his substitute .

Zhang Tie’s substitute rapidly put on his original clothes and became another Zhang Tie vividly who even smelled as drunk as Zhang Tie .

Zhang Tie’s original body took out a suit of green clothes from the secret tunnel under his bed and put them on .

This set of clothes was taken out of his space-teleportation equipment on the first day of this month . They were very common . Additionally, Zhang Tie had forbidden anyone to enter his room without his consent, even for cleaning and arranging things . Zhang Tie even placed tracing feathers in the secret tunnel . He was sure that nobody else had come upstairs these days; nor had they opened his secret tunnel . Therefore, Zhang Tie was the only one who knew that a new set of clothes was put in the secret tunnel under his bed .

Even if someone knew it or saw it, he or she couldn’t say anything about it . However, Zhang Tie was still meticulous .

The new set of clothes didn’t fit Zhang Tie very well; they were evidently a bit loose for him .

When Zhang Tie’s original body was putting on the set of clothes, he triggered his body-changing immortal bloodline as he gradually became old, his hair turned grey, his face turned wrinkled, graceful and ethereal, his eyes turned kind, dignified and a bit experienced . Dragon Emperor!

In less than two minutes, Zhang Tie’s substitute had become himself while Zhang Tie’s original body became Dragon Emperor .

The Dragon Emperor that Zhang Tie disguised was absolutely as same as the real one given his look and the secret methods that he cultivated .

Given his look, Zhang Tie considered that Dragon Emperor should have changed a bit after hundreds of years . Therefore, he made Dragon Emperor a bit wrinkled . As for the unique temperament of Dragon Emperor, Zhang Tie had already watched the images of Dragon Emperor left in the memory crystals for many times during the past eight months . By triggering his disguising talent, Zhang Tie could imitate most of the Dragon Emperor’s behaviors . As for the bit of difference, it was caused by the environment that the Dragon Emperor experienced over the past 900 years .

After exchanging a glance with each other, the fake Dragon Emperor and Zhang Tie’s original body nodded and clapped with each other . After that, the fake Dragon Emperor ran his spiritual energy as he triggered his invisible shen bead . In a split second, the fake Dragon Emperor disappeared while Zhang Tie’s substitute was still lying on the bed .

…

20 minutes later, Zhang Tie’s substitute went downstairs and left the Dragon Emperor Pavilion . Under the respectful eyes of the officers and soldiers outside the pavilion, Zhang Tie mounted his flying lizard . Closely after that, he lightly released his battle qi to block off the wind and snow as he leisurely and wobbly crossed the moat .

“Director, safe drive…” all the officers and soldiers shouted in unison under the leadership of Xu Gang .

Zhang Tie didn’t turn around; instead, he just waved his hand backward…

‘Time tries all . ’ Since Zhang Tie served as the director of Dragon Emperor Pavilion, he treated his subordinates mercifully . Being known by his brutal deed across the city, Zhang Tie didn’t lose his temper in Dragon Emperor Pavilion at all; nor did he tyrannically abuse his power or torture his subordinates . Gradually, Zhang Tie won the reverence of his subordinates across the Dragon Emperor Pavilion .

“Alas, if only director could stay a few more years in Dragon Emperor Pavilion . We could live a bit better…” When Zhang Tie disappeared at the end of the street, a vice general beside Xu Gang sighed with emotions sincerely, “After Director came here, those people in Earth-Treasures Department dared not deduct our monthly compensation any more in case of trouble . Previously, those people always thought that we have other benefits besides monthly compensation in Dragon Emperor Pavilion; therefore they always deducted a part of our monthly compensation . ”

“Nonsense, elder just want to improve director’s temperament here . Do you really think that there’re too many excellent immortal generals in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace that a young immortal general would live the rest of his life here? You’ve just drunk Jade Spirit Pulp, take those b*stards to patrol around Dragon Emperor Pavilion right now…”

“Elder brother, it’s said that director gifted you a jar of Jade Spirit Pulp . How about having a drink tonight…” the vice general asked as he licked his lips shamelessly . All the other officers swallowed their saliva forcefully as they fixated onto Xu Gang .

Xu Gang’s face turned black at a stroke as he shouted, “Even this father grudges drinking it; I will gift it to someone else . How dare you think about it? Disappear right away…”

…

Because of heavy snow, there were much fewer people on the streets . Many stores were closed earlier today .

When Zhang Tie returned to the small courtyard in Apricot Blossom Village by flying lizard, it was already dark .

Outside the small courtyard, two flying lizards were fastened to the stable . At the sight of them, Zhang Tie knew that Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan had arrived .

As was imagined, the moment he got off the flying lizard, Uncle Qu had come out with a big smile kindly and passionately which felt mysterious . At the same time, he whispered to Zhang Tie, “Childe, Miss Ji and Miss Jiang are here…”

“Hmm, I see…” Zhang Tie replied as he took off the two jars of wine from the back of the flying lizard . Uncle Qu then held the rein .

“Two young ladies have already seen your invention…the chafing dish…they are curious about it…and want to have a try…we’ve already prepared everything . Two young ladies are waiting for childe in the pavilion on the roof…” Uncle Qu said as he led the flying lizard away .

Zhang Tie nodded as he entered the courtyard and came to the roof which had been covered with some snow . However, it was the right moment to enjoy the snow scene in the surroundings over there . It was empty around the pavilion; however, after covering it with a two-layer curtain, they could avoid heavy wind while not feeling breathless .

As was imagined by Zhang Tie, Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan were studying a red copper chafing dish which Zhang Tie invented a few days ago in the pavilion . The moment Zhang Tie came back, the two girls’ beautiful eyes had fixated onto Zhang Tie’s face .

“What’re you thinking about every day? How could you work out such a cooker that could make us feel warm? If you’re back a bit later, we would have already started to enjoy it…” Ji Yuelan said tenderly .

“Hahaha, how could you just eat it in this way . I guess two beauties are coming today; therefore, I especially prepare some wine for you . 80 years old Jade Spirit Pulp . Few people across the city could have a chance to enjoy it . Today, with beauties and wine, I feel like an immortal being…” Zhang Tie said with a smile as he walked over there and sat between the two girls while putting the jars on the table .

“How sweet you’re!” The two girls burst into laughter at the same time .

“We could turn it up a bit . After a short while, we could put in dishes…” Zhang Tie said as he started to teach them how to use it…

Only after a short while, the pavilion on the roof had been filled with laughter and cheers and aroma…

Even though it was just Zhang Tie’s substitute, Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan couldn’t identify it even if they were on its side…

On the other side, the real original body of Zhang Tie had already arrived at a thousand meters high in the air and completely hid while targeting at someone in a manor in the east of Dragon Emperor City spiritually .

Watching that target, Zhang Tie couldn’t stand swallowing his saliva .

‘A heavenly shadow demon knight, what a nice piece of flesh…’
