Chapter 258: A Game of Checkers
Those likes for Zhang Xu hit like a sea of mountains, making Zhao Tingting a little breathless for a while, she tried to let herself breathe deeply, but she still felt that the air in the park was indescribably suffocating.
"I've finished practicing and I'm going to go back to the rented community!" Zhang Xu didn't know what to say for a while, and after saying this lightly, he was ready to leave.
Zhao Tingting saw that Zhang Xu was about to leave, but she didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only stand in place and look at Zhang Xu's back blankly.
Zhao Yuanhao saw all this in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, he said to Zhang Xu's back: "Mr. Zhang, let's go to the house for dinner at noon, I will finish practicing in a while, and I will go to your rented community with Tingting to find you." ”
When Zhang Xu heard Zhao Yuanhao say this, he turned around, and when he looked at Zhao Tingting and Zhao Yuanhao again, he found that the two of them had already walked away.
Zhang Xu left the park with a helpless face, the pedestrians on the street were endless, today is the fifth day of the first month, everyone is still shrouded in the atmosphere of the New Year, everyone is very happy, Zhang Xu seems to have been affected by everyone, and the mood instantly became very good.
Zhang Xu went to the mall, the mall is also crowded at the moment, there are a lot of people visiting the mall, Zhang Xu went straight to the topic, he bought a box of instant noodles, and bought milk and snacks, and then returned to the rented community.
In the room, Zhang Xu boiled water, cooked instant noodles for himself, and then lay on the sofa in the living room, looking at the review materials he bought before.
After watching for a long time, Zhang Xu felt that his arms were a little numb, and then a knock on the door attracted Zhang Xu's attention, and then Zhao Tingting said loudly outside the door: "Zhang Xu, open the door quickly, my grandfather and I are looking for you!"
In the park, Zhao Yuanhao once said that after the practice, he would go to Zhang Xu's rented community to find Zhang Xu, but Zhang Xu didn't care too much, he thought it was a joke from Zhao Yuanhao, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Zhang Xu got up and opened the door, he smiled and said, "Senior Zhao, please come inside!" Zhao Yuanhao and Zhao Tingting entered the room together, Zhao Yuanhao sat down on the sofa in the living room, Zhang Xu saw that Zhao Tingting was still standing there, so he was a little embarrassed.
"Tingting, sit down too!" Zhang Xu said helplessly, on weekdays, when Zhang Xu called Zhao Tingting, he would directly omit his surname and call him by his name, but now calling Zhao Tingting's name in front of Zhao Yuanhao, Zhang Xu actually felt a little awkward.
Zhang Xu got up and took two glasses of water and put them in front of Zhao Yuanhao and Zhao Tingting, at this time Zhao Yuanhao smiled and said, "I'll go to dinner at home in a while, and I just have something to talk to you about by the way." ”
Seeing Zhao Yuanhao's serious expression, Zhang Xu guessed that it must be a very important matter, seeing the doubts on Zhang Xu's face, Zhao Yuanhao smiled and said: "It's about the ancient jade fragment, another tiger talisman fragment is about to appear, I hope Mr. Zhang Xiao must seize the opportunity!
Zhao Yuanhao, as a senior, clearly knew that Zhang Xu respected him and trusted him, so naturally he didn't have to sell too many guanzi in front of Zhang Xu, and he could say it directly if he had anything to say.
Zhang Xu and Zhao Yuanhao's granddaughter Zhao Tingting are of the same age, many times, Zhao Yuanhao calls Zhang Xu Mr. Zhang Xiao, that is because in the martial arts realm of martial arts cultivation, Zhang Xu is particularly powerful, and now he is enough to match Wang Zhenyao, the grandmaster of the Wang family of the Four Nine Cities, such a title also represents Zhao Yuanhao's appreciation of Zhang Xu as a person.
Every time Zhao Yuanhao sees Zhang Xu and his granddaughter Zhao Tingting together, he will treat Zhang Xu as a child and a junior.
At this time, Zhang Xu heard Zhao Yuanhao talk about this, his heart was full of excitement, and he couldn't wait to know the whereabouts of another tiger talisman fragment immediately, but Zhao Yuanhao didn't say it in front of Zhao Tingting, which made Zhang Xu feel like he had listened to half of the book and couldn't get enough of it.
Zhao Yuanhao and Zhao Tingting didn't stay long in Zhang Xu's rented place, and the three of them walked downstairs together, and the driver of the Zhao family saw Zhao Yuanhao and Zhao Tingting coming out, so he quickly got out of the car and helped Zhao Yuanhao open the door.
Zhang Xu got in the car, and soon the three of them arrived at Zhao's house, the lunch was very rich, Zhao Yuanhao drank a little wine with Zhang Xu as usual, Zhao Tingting saw that her grandfather and Zhang Xu got along very well, and her heart was even more indescribably happy.
Long ago, Zhao Tingting knew that her grandfather would often help her intentionally or unintentionally, obviously she liked Zhang Xu's affairs, and her grandfather Zhao Yuanhao knew it very well, but he didn't say it.
Knowing that Zhao Yuanhao was going to talk to Zhang Xu about some important things, Zhao Tingting went back to the room directly after lunch, and at this moment there were only two people left in the living room of the Zhao family, Zhang Xu and Zhao Yuanhao.
Zhang Xu said with some excitement: "Senior, you said that another fragment of the Tiger Talisman will appear soon, it seems that the predecessor must already know its whereabouts?" As soon as Zhao Tingting left, Zhang Xu couldn't wait to ask.
"I'm just guessing, it's not quite true, it should have something to do with the Wang family, but what is certain is that the current fragment of the tiger talisman is not in the Wang family, and it is very likely to be hidden elsewhere. Zhao Yuanhao said truthfully.
Judging from Zhao Yuanhao's many years of experience, the Wang family is also very powerful in Sijiu City, because of the support of Wang Zhenyao, the grandmaster of the Wang family, over the years, many ancient martial arts families will not provoke the Wang family for no reason.
It's just that I recently heard that the Wang family in Sijiu City and the people in the Zhanlong Military Region have been in close contact, and what is even more incomprehensible is that Chen Xinning, the niece of Chen Jingxiu, the head of the Chen family, has also been in contact with the Wang family very frequently recently, all these signs made Zhao Yuanhao suddenly conclude that Chen Xinning must have ulterior motives.
At the beginning, Chen Xinning was helpless, in order to protect the life of his uncle Chen Jingxiu, he had no choice but to hand over the only piece of tiger talisman fragment of the Chen family to Zhang Xu, and now Chen Xinning has a close relationship with the Wang family, but he has never found trouble with Zhang Xu, and now the people from the Zhanlong Military Region are also involved, and things seem to be becoming more and more complicated all of a sudden.
Except for the fragments of the tiger talisman of the Chen family in Sijiu City in Zhang Xu, the others are nowhere to be found, as long as it is the ancient martial arts family, most of them know the secrets of the tiger talisman and the matter of the treasure house of the heavenly master, and Chen Xinning must also hold a grudge since Zhang Xu washed the Chen family in blood, and wants to wait for an opportunity to retaliate from time to time.
With Zhang Xu's current martial arts cultivation, perhaps only Wang Zhenyao, the grandmaster of the Wang family, can barely match it, as for Chen Xinning, he is not Zhang Xu's opponent at all, so Chen Xinning naturally wants to collect nine tiger talisman fragments before Zhang Xu, and then put together a complete tiger talisman, so as to open the treasure house of the Heavenly Master one step earlier, take out the martial arts secrets and the ascension immortal method, and avenge the blood of the Chen family.
As soon as Zhang Xu heard what Zhao Yuanhao said, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, now Zhang Xu already has three tiger talisman fragments, and as for where the other six are, Zhang Xu is also worried.
Seeing Zhang Xu's thoughtful look, Zhao Yuanhao smiled and said, "What did Mr. Zhang Xiao think of in his heart?
"Senior Zhao speculated very much, and the younger generation also felt that the Wang family should also have a tiger talisman fragment, but no one knew where the tiger talisman fragment was now, but Chen Xinning had been in close contact with the people of the Wang family these days, which made the younger generation a little puzzled. Zhang Xu said helplessly.
