Chapter 412 Wrong But Not Completely Wrong
Zhao Yuanjing’s body was being taken away by a sly-eyed monk.
Zhao Tiandong is very sure that this guy is definitely not a monk from the Li family.
A very small number of monks recognized the foundation-building monks who appeared in the sky.
"The royal family of Zhao Kingdom..."
It was also at this moment that almost all the monks present looked at the sinister-looking guy who came out to claim the body.
“Hey, they look similar, but they don’t seem to be Fellow Daoist Zhou.”
Seeing that the situation was not good, after slowly putting down Zhao Yuanjing’s body, the sly-eyed monk immediately ran away. My first thought was to throw the body away directly, but I thought wrong. If I did this, the foundation-building monks above might not let him leave here alive.
Zhao Tiandong appeared in the air, and Li Changfeng also recognized him as a foundation-building monk of the Zhao royal family.
Based on the current situation, he quickly understood what was going on.
"Senior, your grandson died at the hands of a calamity cultivator. Now this calamity cultivator has been killed by us." Li Changfeng looked at Zhao Tiandong in the sky and said neither humble nor overbearing.
"Okay, your Li family has done a good job!" Zhao Tiandong looked a little excited. He seemed to want to take action, but he didn't, "Just wait for me!"
After saying this, Zhao Tiandong immediately rolled up Zhao Yuanjing's body and left.
Li Changfeng was not given a chance to explain in detail.
Leaving Tongyang County quickly, for Zhao Tiandong, this plan was generally smooth.
This matter should spread soon. At that time, he would like to see if the conservative old guy in the family would relent. Now he wants to go back and briefly report the matter.
Tongyang County Xiu Shifang City.
After Zhao Tiandong left, the monks began to discuss the situation just now.
“He is actually a monk from the royal family of Zhao Kingdom.”
“The monk in the Qi Refining Stage died, and the monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage appeared. Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?”
"Hahaha, there are a lot of coincidences in the world, but I think this is a bit deliberate."
"The ones who died are their people, I understand what they are going to do..."
>The monks on the field discussed the situation, because they basically thought from the side of the Li family, so most of the monks believed that such a situation should be intentional by the Zhao royal family.
As for the monks who think about various possibilities from a neutral perspective, they have seen everything the Li family has done in recent years. They have a good impression of the Li family. After many conflicts, they I just like to look at things from the perspective of the Li family.
“Fellow Taoist Changfeng, it’s better to report this matter quickly.”
"Well, everyone, please disperse. This is a matter between our Li family and the Zhao royal family. You should say less about the Zhao royal family. It is not worth it to avoid being targeted by their spies."
After speaking, Li Changfeng was about to pack up and leave.
A female cultivator in the middle stage of Qi refining appeared in front of him.
"That Fellow Daoist Li...can I get back the storage bag that was robbed?" the female cultivator said, pointing to the deep pit over there.
"Please." Li Changfeng nodded.
The female cultivator in front of me should have just been implicated. If she was also an accomplice, she shouldn't have appeared here at this time.
The key is that he seems to have seen this female nun before. She should have lived here before.
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li.”
The female cultivator was delighted when she heard this and hurried to get her things back.
……
The ancestral land of the Li family is Changqing Mountain.
At this moment, Li Changfeng was in the clan leader's cave, reporting carefully to Li Qianqingzi what was happening in Xiu Shifang City, Tongyang County.
Usually there are not many opportunities to see the clan leader. When something like this happens, he will naturally come back and report the situation in person.
When reporting the situation, Li Changfeng did not miss any detail.
Li Qianqing nodded when he heard this.
He already understood the situation. Judging from his experience, there was no doubt that this must be a play directed and performed by the Zhao royal family.
However, this play is a bit clumsy.
If the Zhao royal family wanted to take this opportunity to take action against their Li family, he would be happy to accompany them.
Nowadays, the influence of the Li family on the monks in Xiangshui County has become more and more profound. Faced with this situation, even if the Zhao royal family comes to cause trouble, the Li family will have the upper hand.
"I understand the matter. Changfeng, you handled it very well, especially the body identification." Li Qianqing was satisfied with Li Changfeng's approach.
This step of identifying the body also made the monks present more aware that this was the Zhao royal family's intention to target the Li family.
The Zhao royal family wants to attack their Li family. This matter will spread very quickly. Among them, the people sent by the Zhao royal family will add fuel to the flames and make the news spread faster, and they will not go to their Li family. piece of said.
"Thirteenth great-grandfather, what should I do if the news spreads?"
"The words were said by the monks present, which is beneficial to us, but it is different for other monks. We also want the news to spread faster."
"Understood." Li Changfeng nodded. The thirteenth great-great-grandfather wanted to take advantage of this matter.
This is conducive to letting more monks know the face of the Zhao royal family. When the strength of both parties is absolutely crushed, they must have the upper hand in theory.
But when the strength reaches the level of complete crushing, it is useless to say anything.
When it comes to crushing levels, there is usually a difference in power by one level. After all, the Zhao royal family is still a Dan-Jie level power. They cannot kill a Dan-Jie immortal cultivating family without any reason. What's more, the Li family also has four knotted pills, and the strength of the clan leader is even more extraordinary.
The more he thought about it, the more confident Li Changfeng became in his family.
"Thirteenth great-great-grandfather, if you have nothing else to explain, I will return to Xiushifang City, Tongyang County."
"Well, remember to collect your contribution points and go to the family treasury to redeem the skill weapon." Li Qianqing reminded.
“Yes.”
Li Changfeng did not expect that his thirteenth great-great-grandfather would take this matter to his heart after he simply said something about the damage to the magic weapon.
The stone door of the cave is closed.
Li Qianqing began to think about what the Zhao royal family would do in the future, and their Li family's response strategy.
In fact, he was quite surprised by the Zhao royal family's actions this time. According to his previous inference based on the situation of all the Zhao royal family's alchemy monks, the Zhao royal family's overall strategy is relatively conservative, and they are more willing to preserve their strength as much as possible. , to deal the biggest blow to the opponent.
At present, something is happening in Xiu Shifang City, Tongyang County. Even if the Zhao royal family really wants to find a reason to attack the Li family, it should not be at this time.
His speculations are based on the information obtained from the investigation. When speculation is wrong, it is often due to inaccurate information, leading to deviations in the final guess result.
But there is not much of a problem. In his speculation, it would be later for the Zhao royal family to take the initiative to find a reason to take action against them. The current situation is just to advance the time of action.
"They may not necessarily take action. They may use this reason to talk..." Li Qianqing was still thinking about more possibilities.
……
Huangmin County.
Zhao Tiandong came back with Zhao Yuanjing's body. After arriving at the family's ancestral land, he immediately went to find Zhao Wengang.
"What's going on?" Zhao Wengang looked at Zhao Yuanjing's body on the ground and asked Zhao Tiandong's eyes.
"According to the words of the ninth great-grandfather, Yuan Jing died in Xiushifang City, Tongyang County, Xiangshui County."
"Dead in the hands of the Li family again?" Zhao Wengang's tone was a little cold.
Zhao Tiandong secretly screamed, Zhao Wengang's cold tone did not sound like he was dissatisfied with the Li family, but was directed at him.
"It's not this time...but it's due to poor management of the Li family." Zhao Tiandong, who felt something was wrong, could only answer bravely.
“Hmph, you are smarter this time, but only a little.”
Judging from Zhao Wengang's tone and words, he was telling Zhao Tiandong that the last time his brother-in-law died, they knew it was not the Li family's fault, but his Zhao Tiandong's handiwork.
At this moment, Zhao Tiandong was silent.
Recalling what he did last time, he did not expect anything to be omitted. In other words, what Zhao Wengang said should be all his guesses.
"Forget what happened last time. He is not a monk from our Zhao family. This time, you are better off. You actually took the life of a family monk to do this!"
To be honest with Xiangshui With the understanding of the Li family, Zhao Wengang can guarantee that he is definitely the clearest among the Zhao royal family, not just among the high-level Danjie monks.
Last time Zhao Tiandong described that his brother-in-law was killed by monks from the Li family in order to give the Zhao royal family a warning. In Zhao Wengang's view, this itself was problematic.
Based on his understanding of the Li family, the Zhao royal family sent people to the places controlled by the Li family to collect information about them. The Li family would only expel them at most, and would not really go on a killing spree.
According to the information from his investigation, the Li family has never done anything like this even in secret. It is precisely because of this that it is very difficult for the Zhao royal family to find reasons to suppress the Li family. If the Li family likes If they do one thing in front of others and another behind their backs, it will be much easier for them to suppress the Li family.
Last time I didn’t clarify it with Zhao Tiandong, mainly because the monks Zhao Tiandong used were only monks with a foreign surname, and there were also some alchemy monks in the family who supported what Zhao Tiandong did, so the matter was settled.
In Zhao Wengang's eyes, as long as he is not a monk of his Zhao family, he will basically not regard the other person as a human being.
But this time the situation is different. Even if Zhao Yuanjing's talent is relatively average, he is still a monk with the blood of the Zhao Kingdom's royal family.
"Tian Dong, to be honest, I never thought, ninth great grandfather, that you would use the lives of family monks." Compared with before, Zhao Wengang restrained his cold tone and said this time , relatively dull, which is the result of him restraining himself.
Zhao Tiandong continued to be silent. At this time, he didn't know what to say.
He felt that whether he admitted it or refused to admit it, it was a bad choice, and besides this, there was no other option.
Not speaking, being silent is the best way to deal with it.
He also knew that his silence meant acquiescence, but if he admitted it now, it would most likely make Zhao Wengang's anger even higher.
“Oh, Tian Dong, you have to know, whether you do the wrong thing at the right time or the right thing at the wrong time, it is still a mistake! Only at the right time, do The right thing is the right thing..."
When Zhao Tiandong heard this, he understood that Zhao Wengang was saying that he did the right thing at the wrong time.
So what I did was generally correct.
“Nine-great-great-grandfather, I don’t think we can drag it out any longer.” Since Zhao Wengang had said so, Zhao Tiandong spoke. For him, this was also an opportunity to speak.
At least he admitted that what he did was right.
"You think you are doing the wrong thing and the right thing?"
Hearing this, Zhao Tiandong nodded slowly. He thought there was nothing wrong with what he did.
"Wrong, big mistake! You did the wrong thing at the wrong time."
"..."
For Zhao Tiandong, he didn't quite understand.
"If Yuan Jing did not die because of your plan, then you did the right thing." Zhao Wengang shook his head. This great-great-grandson Zhao Tiandong has not yet realized his mistake.
"I understand, Ninth-Great-Grandfather... But I also consider it for the sake of the family. In the face of family interests, individual interests are nothing. If Ninth-Great-Grandfather wants to, I can sacrifice it."
< br>"Really?"
"By the way, my ninth great grandfather told me, I will never say no." Zhao Tiandong looked at Zhao Wengang firmly.
He was gambling.
He believes that personal interests are not as important as family interests. If sacrificing the individual will bring about a better family, then he will sacrifice the individual without hesitation. Of course, this individual does not include him,
"Okay." Zhao Wengang did not continue to delve into this topic. Although Zhao Tiandong was willing, he had no intention of sacrificing Zhao Tiandong.
Among the family monks, Zhao Tiandong still has hope of forming an elixir. When it comes to sacrificing the family monks, he also prefers those with poor talents.
“Nine-great-grandfather, I understand that I was wrong.” After betting that Zhao Wengang would not let him sacrifice, he officially admitted his mistake at this time, “But I want to know, what will happen to our royal family next? Do this? Are you still treating it like nothing happened? ”
This is the answer that Zhao Tiandong desperately wants to know.
In dealing with the Li family, Zhao Tiandong also knew that the top management of their royal family was mainly handed over to Zhao Wengang. Therefore, Zhao Wengang's ideas and decisions were very important. It can be said that he was second only to their ancestors of the Zhao royal family.
"I have said, if something similar happens again, our royal family will not treat it as nothing happened. The last time the situation was special, even if a member of our clan died, we would not take action."< br>
Hearing this, Zhao Tiandong felt comfortable.
Finally it is not the same as last time. If it were the same as last time, he would be extremely uncomfortable.
Then the two fell into a long silence.
"Why don't you leave?" Zhao Wengang asked, looking at Zhao Tiandong.
"Replying to my ninth great grandfather, you haven't said anything about punishing me yet, so Tian Dong can't just leave like this." While speaking, Zhao Tiandong secretly cursed this old guy.
He took the initiative to admit his mistakes. If there was no punishment, he would be telling Zhao Wengang that he was only verbally aware of his mistakes.
"Well, it's pretty clear." Zhao Wengang nodded this time, "I've been thinking about the cliff for three years, during which I couldn't have any communication with the outside world."
"Yes!"
After Zhao Tiandong officially retired, Zhao Wengang's expression became solemn.
