Chapter 76 To marry or not to marry? (Seeking follow-up reading)
“The Li family has great power and influence in Zhongdu. Although they have many competitors in the Tianxian Division and business, they are not life-or-death enemies.”
Li Mo said: "After all, those who can be regarded as enemies by them will not end well. After so many years, the Li family has been as stable as Mount Tai, and the younger generations have outstanding disciples. "The only one who can be called a life-or-death enemy is the Zhao family, who was once known as the Fiery Fire Spear that cut through the sea."
"The Zhao family has always been a single lineage with a small population. Sixty years ago, the ancestor of the Zhao family once stepped into the world and became famous in the central capital."
Lu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows, "Half-step heaven? So the Zhao family has a magical inheritance?"
Li Mo said: "That's the problem. The Zhao family's Fire-Starting Prairie Spear has been passed down for hundreds of years. It’s a unique skill, but I’ve never heard of it having magical powers.”
“Many people speculated that the ancestor of the Zhao family got the chance.”
“At that time, Zhao. The family had good relations with the Li family. The first wife of the old man of the Li family was the direct sister of the ancestor of the Zhao family. In the second generation of the Li family, Li Xiaotian even became a brother with Zhao Chengzong, the head of the Zhao family at that time."
" But no one expected that not long after the ancestor of the Zhao family broke through to the half-step heavenly realm, he suddenly died suddenly, causing countless people to peep. "
"Many people are intimidating the Zhao family openly and secretly, and want to seize the magic power that allows the Zhao family to become a half-step into heaven."
Lu Chengfeng can imagine how tempting the magic power is. It's scary, especially when you lose a half-step celestial being, it's almost impossible to keep your magic power.
Li Mo continued: "At that time, the only direct descendants of the Zhao family were Zhao Chengzong, the head of the Zhao family, and his father Zhao Chuansi."
"Zhao Chuansi's martial arts qualifications were mediocre. He practiced hard and never practiced martial arts. Tao’s true meaning.”
“Therefore, the ancestor of the Zhao family put all his thoughts on his grandson Zhao Chengzong, and even let him directly inherit the position of head of the family when he became an adult.” br>
"Not long after the ancestor of the Zhao family left, all parties, who used both soft and hard tactics overtly and covertly but with no results, could no longer endure it. They stormed into the Zhao family late at night and almost turned the entire Zhao family upside down."
"Zhao Chuansi was killed on the spot. Zhao Chengzong escaped with the help of the secret method of feigning death, but lost all his martial arts."
Li Mo's voice became colder and colder. Such an encounter reminded him of himself.
“Zhao Chengzong risked his life and beat the thunderous drum of the Sky Patrol Division in broad daylight, forcing the Sky Patrol Division to intervene and investigate the truth.”
“In the end, the second generation of the Li family Li Xiaoyun took the initiative to take all the charges and was forced to resign from all positions in the Tianxian Division. He also handed over a large amount of resources and wealth, thus avoiding the danger of death. "
"As for the Zhao family's matter, with the connivance of many big shots, it just went unsolved."
Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but sneered when he heard this, "The so-called Tiantian Division seems to be inconsistent with its name. It's quite impressive, but it's a pity that it's still a puppet and a tool in the hands of the big shots."
Li Mo said: "It's the same everywhere in the world, whether it's the Tiantian Division or the north and the south. , Although the names are different, they are basically the law of the jungle."
"After Li Xiaoyun took those charges, the Li family became prosperous in the following decades and obtained the Tianxuan Division. With their strong support, the old man of the Li family and Li Xiaotian were promoted in the Tianxuan Division for many years. "
"So that they have become a wealthy family in Zhongdu."
Lu Chengfeng nodded, "Junior brother, please continue."
He and Li Mo walked side by side, talking while walking down the mountain.
Li Mo said: "Because of the popularity of the Tianxun Division among the people of Zhongdu, the head of the Tianxun Division was called Zhentian by Zhongdu, and the Zhentian King who patrolled all directions personally accepted Zhao Chengzong as his disciple. "
"Although he only accepted a disciple in name, Zhao Chengzong's life was saved. After the incident, he was disheartened and lived in a brothel, dreaming of nothing but worldly affairs. "
"More than ten years later, a woman from the brothel gave birth to a son, named Zhao Tianyou. This man had martial arts qualifications. It’s very terrifying. As early as twenty years ago, I had already cultivated the Fiery Prairie Spear to the twenty-fourth level.”
"Then...he was crippled and made the same mistakes as his father. He lost all his martial arts skills and wandered around the streets and alleys, completely becoming a useless person." "Eight percent of the people who did this were the Li family. On the one hand, it was the Li family. In order to prevent the Zhao family from rising up for revenge, on the other hand, they still don’t give up on that magical skill.”
“Because the old man of the Li family has now reached the end of his worldly martial arts. magical If you say that, you can only stop here."
The corner of Lu Chengfeng's mouth raised slightly, "This is a good candidate. Does Zhao Tianyou have any wives or concubines, and does his father leave any for him. What aunt? "
Li Mo thought for a while and said: "Zhao Tianyou's father, Zhao Chengzong, naturally had wives and concubines before. Later, they all died when the family was exterminated, and he never married again."
"Zhao Tianyou grew up in a brothel, and his life experience was complicated. Naturally, few people were willing to marry their daughters to him. He only had a few lovers in the brothel. It is said that he redeemed his body for an oiran a few years ago and became a concubine. But I’m not very clear about the details.”
“In addition, the Zhao family now has a special person, those maids who were around the ancestors of the Zhao family. The ancestors of the Zhao family took pity on her. Give She became a concubine."
"When the family was destroyed, she happened to go home to visit relatives and escaped."
"Sixty years later, she is already eight years old. An old woman in her teens. "
Lu Chengfeng's pupils shrank suddenly, but then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he felt that his head was big, "She has not been killed until now?"< br>
"I also find it strange. There must be something fishy here." Li Mo also said with some doubts: "Even if she has no power to restrain a chicken and poses no threat to those people, after all, she was a person close to the ancestor of the Zhao family back then. This may be an extremely important clue to find that magical skill."
"How could those people turn a blind eye?"
Lu Chengfeng did not speak when he heard this. Fighting a complex struggle.
"To marry an eighty-year-old woman, or not?"
When he thought about marrying an eighty-year-old woman, he couldn't help but feel creepy all over, and he just felt dirty. It's no longer clean.
But if you don't marry...
That is the concubine of a strong man who is half a step into the heavenly realm.
Until I can’t take down my beautiful master, this is simply my greatest treasure.
Lu Chengfeng was having a fierce ideological struggle in his mind, "A man must be able to bend and stretch, and he must endure humiliation and bear the burden..."
Not long after, he and Li Mo returned to Yuxian Palace.
"Junior brother, you have worked hard on this trip. You should rest for a few days. We may have big moves after a while."
"Yes, senior brother." Li Mo agreed, cupping his fists and saluting. After leaving, he did not stay at Yuxian Peak, but stayed at Bixiao Peak with Luo Yong.
Lu Chengfeng was about to walk to his residence when he saw Caixia, wearing a goose-yellow tight skirt and embroidered gold butterfly gauze, walking towards him.
"Young Master, the Palace Master invites you to come over."
Lu Chengfeng was stunned, "Master called me? Sister Caixia, do you know what is going on?"
As he spoke, he followed Caixia towards Zhu Yuxian.
Caixia moved her lips slightly, wanting to speak, but hesitated a little, and finally just said, "I heard that Zhou... he seemed to have survived. He just woke up in the morning."< br>
Lu Chengfeng's face suddenly turned cold, "I see, I understand, thank you sister for informing me."
