Chapter 269 A visit
The Shou Wang Xingguan and Hou Zhengmen who were out were working non-stop and anxious.
In order to complete the commission from King Shou, they did not dare to delay for a moment on the way. They spent most of the day and ran until the horse was gasping for air.
We have walked more than half of the journey, and we will probably not reach Qingzhou City until tomorrow evening.
After a day of riding, everyone was so exhausted that they went straight to a makeshift inn on the roadside, where they ordered some food and drinks and had a good rest.
While I was eating, I suddenly heard several farmers at the table next to me gathering together, whispering to each other, and there seemed to be two words in and out of their words:
"Grey Mountain"!
After listening to their words, Xingguan and Hou Zheng immediately became energetic, leaned over, and bought a few taels of silver.
While eating, I was dumbfounded by this sudden situation. I didn’t know what these officials wanted to do. When the executive asked about the Gray Mountain, the diners who were traveling around suddenly became interested. , introduced to the executive what happened in the Gray Mountain in the past two days:
“There is a dazzling array in the Gray Mountain now, covering most of the Gray Mountain, and no one can go up it now. There is no way to go. As long as you plan to go up to Gray Mountain, you will enter a big fog, go around twice and get lost. There are even many powerful Jianghu people missing, which makes people panic. "
As soon as Xingguan heard this, his heart suddenly became cold.
Huishan is surrounded, and the Seven Mountains and Four Lakes formation will definitely be blocked.
As a result, King Shou was in danger.
We must go to Gray Mountain as soon as possible to check the situation.
The executive asked two more questions:
"Apart from that, is there anything else?"
"Apart from that?" The farmer who was asked thought about it, slapped his forehead, and said, "There happened to be a group of charlatans. Living here, I heard them say that they saw a mysterious Taoist priest in Gray Mountain, and he also entered Gray Mountain. I don’t know if it has anything to do with it. "< br>
The executive was slightly stunned when he heard the word Taoist, and the Taoist he saw during the day flashed in his mind.
Is it possible...
Is it really him?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
How could that crazy-looking idiot have such superb skills?
"If you want to ask more about this matter, you can go talk to those charlatans. I definitely don't understand."
The villagers sent Xing Guan away, and Xing Guan went to him directly. The store owner asked the charlatans where they were and rushed directly to their residence. The charlatans were so frightened that they almost pulled out their knives.
However, when the executive explained his purpose and took out a large piece of silver, they also laughed and told the executive about the scene of "the Taoist leader teaching the village chief" they had seen before.
"What does that Immortal look like?"
"That Immortal is long and handsome, with an immortal air and a high crown on his head, but for some reason, it is a little crooked."
The executive corresponded with the Taoist in his mind.
I found out that they are exactly the same!
Isn’t this annoying!
Thinking that the other party was walking into the forest, Xingguan felt that he had to light a message incense for King Shou as soon as possible.
......
In the Zhao family compound, there are heavy clouds of worry.
Zhao Youxian sat on the main seat and closed his eyes tightly.
The gloomy and dark atmosphere billowed from his side, then settled down again.
"Master, you haven't eaten for a day."
The servant approached Zhao Youxian worriedly, holding a bowl of hot porridge in his hand, as if he wanted to place it next to Zhao Youxian.
But his move only made Zhao Youxian angry.
The old man rolled up his sleeves angrily and overturned the hot porridge.
The porridge bowl was smashed directly into the servant's face, which made the servant scream.
"Mother Riru! Eat! Eat! You know how to eat!"
Zhao Youxian kicked the servant who was still struggling on the ground and was burned, and cursed: "I have a fragrant soul." If it's broken, then your life is dead!"
After kicking his feet three times, he finally sat back down, looking a little depressed:
"My Grandson..."
The servant who was kicked and screamed by him finally got up from the ground and hurriedly retreated.
People feel so wronged now.
It’s not like he wants to eat this meal. Why give him a beating?
Of course, he didn't dare to say this. Although it hurt to be beaten now, it could be cured by applying some plaster. If he really pissed off Zhao Youxian, then he would definitely not be able to keep this little life.
Seeing the servants leaving, Zhao Youxian also sighed one after another.
Actually...
Zhao Youxian was really not that sad that his grandson died.
Zhao Youxian himself married one wife and three concubines, with a total of seven children, four boys and three girls.
Even if the most talented eldest son dies, the Zhao family will not be cut off.
What he is worried about is...
Qingzhou may not be as safe as before.
Although my good grandson is going to the front line of the battlefield, after all, it is impossible for a nobleman to go to the front row to fill in the lines. He must be in the middle. If he dies, the front line may be tight!
And this morning, Zhao Youxian also saw Hou Zheng traveling at Prince Shou's residence.
These intelligence and scheming dogs don’t go out to play most of the time. They sit in their kennels and rely on their noses to sniff out the major events in the world around them.
Now they have gone out to investigate, but it is definitely not a good thing.
"Should we run away from Qingzhou, but what should we do with so many properties? There are so many people keeping secret records..."
Zhao Youxian was also upset.
Their family was a rice merchant, and they were a wealthy merchant family. Later, they felt that their status and status were still far behind, and they wanted to continue climbing up the ladder of power.
So, a Zhao family head from several generations ago went to Kyoto. Maybe it was destiny, maybe it was destiny. The head of the family did meet a noble man in Kyoto, and the noble man did give him some pointers and taught him the art of pricking people with paper puppets.
Relying on this method, the Zhao family has the confidence to fight with other family sects.
On a dark road.
Kill and seize treasure!
The Zhao family relied on its rich money to maintain a lot of underworld men who robbed goods and stole people's skills. They had all the skills and treasures in their hands. Relying on this , they have improved their family level a lot.
However, even so, the Zhao family is still not as good as those serious big families.
Those big families with strong foundations can stand firm in the face of this kind of turmoil that can shake the great state, but the Zhao family cannot.
They rely on Qingzhou. If Qingzhou dies, their family will definitely not live well.
Nowadays, even a person like Zhao Youxian doesn’t know what to do.
“It’s really not possible to go to Kyoto, so leave the Four Seasons to the noble man. The noble man likes these ancient things. I think he should provide us with some protection.”
I just thought this, Suddenly, another servant hurried in, confusing Zhao Youxian's mood.
"What are you doing? Are you asking for a beating?"
Zhao Youxian glared at the servant fiercely, and the servant immediately shrank his neck:
"Master, there is a Taoist priest outside looking for you."
"Taoist priest?" Zhao Youxian frowned.
He has never liked Taoist priests. Every time those people see him, they will tell him, "You have ghost energy in your body, which can easily hurt your body. I will help you drive away ghosts!"
I am the magician. Damn it, can you help me exorcise ghosts?
Are you deliberately looking for trouble?
Because of this incident, he even killed several Taoist priests, but he didn't expect that another Taoist priest would come to his door!
It’s so disturbing!
“Drive them out! Drive them as far as you can! I don’t want to see Taoist priests!”
Zhao Youxian shouted.
The servant wanted to say something, but suddenly he heard a muffled sound coming from the direction of the door.
A strong wind blew, making Zhao Youxian unable to stand evenly.
Looking up in surprise, I didn’t know what happened in the courtyard, but there was a faint feeling of something bad in my heart.
Ignoring the servants beside him, he rushed forward eagerly, and soon arrived in the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, he saw that the door of his room, which had been subject to many restrictions, was kicked open, and a Taoist walked directly into the yard.
There was even a donkey cart following behind.
Zhao Youxian’s head was filled with smoke.
What is this?
Visiting the gym?
Seeing the Taoist priest looking left and right, not even looking at himself, Zhao Youxian was even more angry. He directly pinched two small paper figures in his hand and placed his fingers on the paper figures.
A few drops of essence and blood entered the paper man, and the originally stiff and sluggish paper man seemed to suddenly come to life, bouncing on the spot.
Two pieces of paper flew twice in the air and fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, they looked like inflated paper balls.
She turned into a white-faced and red-faced ghost maid.
"Who are you? What do you want to do in my mansion? I just kicked my door open. Isn't it a little too rude?"
Zhao Youxian had a cold face.
Hearing him speak, Zuo Chen looked sideways at the other person, but his eyes fell on the two paper figures.
It looks familiar.
Seeing that Zuo Chen didn't speak, Zhao Youxian was even more angry. He waved and his men immediately brought out several treasures:
They were all the four treasures of the study, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, but the ones above were Reflecting a little bit of light.
The so-called jewels are full of treasures. You can tell just by looking at them. These treasures must be extraordinary.
Naturally, he also snatched these treasures.
Zhao Youxian casually picked up the brush from the plate, waved his hand, and pointed it directly in the direction of Zuo Chen:
"Taoist, if you don't leave me some reply, don't think about it all. Get back!”
Zuo Chen finally turned his attention away from the two familiar paper figures.
When he looked at the old man in front of him, he also showed some expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
It turns out that the paper man I solved next to Qingzhou Lake was actually the work of this family.
This can be regarded as a coincidence. After going around in a big circle, we met again.
Zuo Chen smiled and said:
“I just came down from Ji Jian Villa and heard that the Zhao family had snatched all their secret scrolls, so I came over to take a look.”
“Want to redress the injustice?”
"I want to fight against injustice."
Zhao Youxian spat directly to the side:
"You can really see everything after living for a long time! I have never seen anyone who is fighting against injustice. I’ve seen people come to our house to fight against injustice! I happened to be upset and used your skin as my new cushion.”
Zuo Chen said.
He reached out and patted forward.
“Pa!”
A palm print clearly appeared on Zhao Youxian’s face.
Took a shot from Dabi Kabuto.
