Chapter 641: The Start of Everything, Zhang Qiantuo (II)

"Then what of Governor Zhang? Take me to see him. I have something I need to ask him," Wang Chong said.

Everything about the southwest war could be traced back to the battle of Jiange. Zhang Qiantuo's raping and murdering Geluofeng's wife and daughter had resulted in all of this.

Right now, all of the Great Tang believed that Zhang Qiantuo had died in Geluofeng's assault on Jiange. Privately sheltering an important official of the court for personal reasons was a major offense, which was why Wang Chong did not want others to know of this matter.

Wang Chong didn't even want his own father to know. Wang Chong knew that someone of his father's personality had an eighty to ninety percent chance of reporting the matter to the Imperial Court upon learning of it.

Given all the misdeeds Geluofeng had committed as a result of this incident, if the Imperial Court knew that Zhang Qiantuo was still alive, the only fate awaiting him would be execution.

Thus, no matter what, no one could know that Zhang Qiantuo was still alive.

Suddenly, a low and raspy voice came from within the basement. "Many thanks to Young Master for the kindness of saving my life, but I am no longer Zhang Qiantuo, only a faceless man who is too ashamed to see the world."

A large figure slowly approached in the fiery light, and upon seeing the man's face, even Wang Chong was given a start.

"Governor Zhang! What have you done?"

Wang Chong saw that the figure in front of him had placed a strange black metal mask over his face. This mask had no eyebrows or hair, and seemed to be branded to his flesh.

If Wang Chong hadn't met Zhang Qiantuo in the capital and recognized his voice, he would have never imagined that the man wearing this metal mask was that meticulous, sincere, and upright Governor of Jiannan.

"Young Master Wang, this is my own choice. Please do not interfere. Until I find out who murdered my wife and children, who those black-clothed men are, and what is the true identity of that disloyal, unfilial, heartless, and unrighteous bastard who schemed against this Zhang, I will never remove the mask on my face.

"Alive, Zhang Qiantuo has no face to see the world, and dead, has no face to see his wife and children. Young Master, please no longer call me Zhang Qiantuo. Zhang Qiantuo died in battle at Jiange. All Young Master sees now is a faceless man whose heart is dead. I only have one goal in life: kill those bastards and find out the truth of Jiannan. Before this, I will never fall, never!"

The faceless man clenched his fists, causing his knuckles to crack, his body to tremble, and his eyes to go red. The anger bursting from his body was like a loathing flame that could never be extinguished. This sight was enough to shock anyone.

"Milord!!"

Wang Chong and Solitary Wolf called out in alarm at the same time as they noticed two trickles of tears beginning to flow down the mask. But these were tears of crimson, tears of blood!

"Bin-er, Tong-er, Wife, wait for me. I'll definitely avenge you! Definitely!!"

The last words were almost howled out.
