Chapter 863: Chapter 798: Granting the Wolf Head, Establishing Legitimacy, Northern King

After returning to Julong Pass, Zhang San immediately instructed the Town Demon Office to prepare those wolf heads that were previously sealed, and then prepared some other things, heading straight for the northern prairie with his men.

Two days later, Zhang San and his team arrived at the tribe where Dashi Bian was located.

Looking around the tribe, the place was full of tents, and the population was probably over one hundred and fifty thousand, maybe even two hundred thousand.

Zhang San was quite surprised; he hadn’t expected Dashi Bian to be so capable, able to gather so many people in his tribe.

It was only after someone went to inform Dashi Bian that Zhang San noticed that about three-quarters of the people in the tribe were actually slaves.

Initially, Zhang San thought all the people in the tribe were residents.

Now, it seems that during this time, Dashi Bian has indeed consolidated his strength and power on the western prairie.

Moments later, Dashi Bian personally came out with his men to welcome Zhang San.

“Evil God Brothers, you finally came!”

Calling out, Dashi Bian opened his arms towards Zhang San.

Zhang San also spread his arms and enthusiastically walked towards Dashi Bian.

“Big brother, I’ve come to see you!”

After the two embraced, they patted each other’s backs to show closeness.

“Wait a moment, big brother, I have more important matters this time.”

Releasing his arms, Dashi Bian asked curiously, “What important matters, could they be more important than us having a drink together?”

Zhang San smiled and shook his head, then gestured to the people behind him.

Soon, some people pushed over a dozen large carts from behind.

As everyone lifted the red cloths on top, Zhang San immediately used the Forty-Eight Layers Tower to loudly announce in a voice loud enough for the entire tribe to hear.

“Prairie Khan Dashi Bian listen to the decree! Red Dust Immortal of the Imperial Path, Great Sui Kaihuang, specially grants the wolf head bandana to Khan Dashi Bian of the northern prairie! Proclaiming you as the rightful heir of the Tujue! May Khan Dashi Bian rule the north, uphold the name of ruler, and forge a millennial alliance with Great Sui!”

Actually, Dashi Bian felt a little displeased when he heard Zhang San’s words, although he knew that currently, the entire prairie was essentially led by Great Khan Sharlobi, and he was just one of the Khans.

But in his heart, he still believed that he was the only true Khan on the prairie.

Back then, both Northern Zhou and Northern Qi trembled under the iron hoof of the Tujue, so why should Great Sui’s Kaihuang, a former official of Northern Zhou, dare to bestow such a title upon him.

Yet when Dashi Bian saw the gigantic wolf head, he was completely stunned.

If such a large wolf head was used to make a wolf head bandana, then the bestowment on him wouldn’t be a problem!

After all, the Tujue’s totem is the wolf.

They also have the habit of using a wolf head to make a wolf head bandana.

It’s just that they had never seen such a large wolf head.

Zhang San noticed that Dashi Bian’s eyes were glowing as he looked at the wolf head bandana, and he smiled while explaining, “Big brother Dashi Bian, to be honest, this wolf head is the skull of the North Wind Wolf King, one of the Twelve Superior Demons of the All Things Path. After being slain by Great Sui, Kaihuang ordered me to deliver this wolf head immediately.”

“A wolf head worthy of being the North Wind Wolf King can match a true overlord of the prairie like you!”

After Zhang San said this, Dashi Bian felt even more that the wolf head was incredibly precious.

“Of course, those behind, although a bit smaller, are much bigger than other wolf heads. Using them to make wolf head bandanas will truly be impressive!”

At this moment, Dashi Bian couldn’t care less about what Zhang San was saying.

Because Zhang San had brought these wolf heads.

Twelve gigantic wolf heads, each nearly eight feet tall!

Keep in mind, many wolves, when killed and laid on the ground, including the tail, might only be eight feet tall!

This wolf head was taller than an entire wolf.

As for the North Wind Wolf King’s wolf head, it was over two zhang tall, even comparable to the height of the walls of some small towns.

“Thank you, brother, the things you brought are just so wonderful and useful! With such wolf head bandanas, I can say I’m the Tujue’s rightful heir!”

Zhang San replied with a smile, “You were always the Tujue’s rightful heir. This was simply taken away by Sharlobi. But I believe that one day, big brother, you will take back everything that was originally yours.”

“After all, now with Kaihuang’s decree, you are the master of the prairie! You are the rightful Tujue!”

Hearing Zhang San’s words, Dashi Bian was very happy.

Recently, he had been constantly expanding and consolidating his territory.

He was even secretly gathering strength, waiting for the right moment to eliminate Sharlobi and reclaim the position of prairie overlord.

And now, Great Sui’s Kaihuang sent him a wolf head bandana made from a supreme demon’s skull, wasn’t it just the perfect opportunity for him!?

That night, Dashi Bian hosted a banquet for Zhang San and his entourage.

At the same time, Dashi Bian began to give orders, instructing his various tribes to muster their troops.

Early April is the time of spring warmth and blooming on the prairie.

Since the weather is good, naturally it’s time to get out and stretch your legs!

After Zhang San and Dashi Bian had dinner, they went to a tent in the tribe to meet a middle-aged man.

This person was none other than the former White Tiger Principal Officer of the Town Martial Office, Ximen Shuxiang.

“Principal Officer Ximen, I’ve come to see you.”

Ximen Shuxiang knew Zhang San had arrived but didn’t rush over.

Originally, when he brought his daughter and other family members and came to the northern prairie, he only mentioned that he was fleeing to the north and just happened to know Zhang San.

So he was taken care of but didn’t receive much attention.

Today, Zhang San came; Ximen Shuxiang, although aware, didn’t join the bustle but waited for Zhang San to come.

“I’ve heard about the things you’ve been doing on Longyou Road recently. You’re doing well. Thanks for your hard work.”

Zhang San chuckled, a bit embarrassed, saying, “To be honest, after you left, the Town Martial Office lacked strong figures, so even someone like me became a Principal Officer, moreover, as the White Tiger Principal Officer. Truly, it’s quite embarrassing!”

Hearing this, Ximen Shuxiang burst out laughing.

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? You’re smarter, becoming the Hidden Principal Officer, I actually feel the future development of the Town Martial Office will be better.”

Zhang San chatted with Ximen Shuxiang for a while, and he also mentioned the future merger of the Town Demon Office into the Town Martial Office.

Listening to this, Ximen Shuxiang felt a bit awkward, but also somewhat gratified.

After all, merging means being one family, resulting in less meaningless conflict.

Before leaving, Zhang San recalled a glimpse of the future he had seen earlier, turned to Ximen Shuxiang, and said, “Principal Officer Ximen, a major crisis may soon hit this world. As for what is going to happen, or what kind of crisis it is, I’m not very clear. Once things get chaotic, you can come and find me.”

“If you feel it’s difficult to contact me or something happens on my side, you can go to Jin River Road to find the Li Family. Not the Longxi Li Family, but the Taiyuan Li Family. The Li Family Head Li Wude’s son Li Xuanmin is my disciple. If you go to the Li Family, they will certainly take good care of you. Speaking of, the Li Family is related by marriage to the Changsun Family.”

Upon hearing this, Ximen Shuxiang couldn’t help but smile.

“Isn’t this fate? Back then, with the help of the Lingwu Army, we left Great Sui. My four sisters favored Changsun Bubai. And they stayed. Counting this way, our Ximen Family and the Changsun Family are also related by marriage. It’s truly a double relation! Hahaha…”

Zhang San also felt there was quite a bit of destiny here.

But thinking of the formidable physique of Ximen Family’s four aunts, he genuinely admired Changsun Bubai, the Tank Knight!
