Zhao Yu returned to the house, put away the most important seal, and left Yangzhou overnight with Zhao Renjie's handwritten letter.
Besides, Zhao Renjie and Ying'er were taken to a place by the black panther, and it was already dawn at this time. Zhao Renjie looked around and saw a mountain forest with lush trees. This mountainous terrain is steep and there is only one trail.
"I'm sorry, Lord Zhao, I only have wronged the two of you here." The panther ordered his men to blindfold Zhao Renjie and Ying'er and tie their hands.
"You guys, carry them both into the ditch." As soon as the panther gave the order, several officers and soldiers immediately set them up.
"What are you going to do? Let us go! Zhao Renjie shouted.
"Lord Zhao, you are tired of walking, I will let my subordinates walk for you." Black Panther said.
"Where are you taking us?" Zhao Renjie asked.
"I'll know when I go, I can't tell you yet." Black Panther said.
Zhao Renjie didn't know what tricks his opponent played, and in order to find out the truth, he had to take risks. After about half an hour, the two of them were put down, and the panther ordered his men to place them in two hanging baskets.
Ying'er has never been so wronged since she walked the rivers and lakes, she really wanted to let go of her hands and feet and do a big job, but she didn't dare, she was afraid that she would miss a big event.
"Yo-heh-" The black panther rushed to the top, and the people above heard it, and immediately pulled up the hanging basket, the spider plant slowly rose, and Zhao Renjie was worried.
Zhao Renjie and Ying'er were pulled up the cliff, and then sent off the cliff. At the bottom of the cliff, several middle-aged men dressed in cloth escorted the two of them to a place.
"Brothers, where are you going to take us both?" On the way, Zhao Renjie asked.
"Less verbose! You'll find out when you go. One of them snorted coldly.
After walking for about half an hour, Zhao Renjie's blindfolded black veil was removed.
Zhao Renjie opened his eyes and saw that it was a small wooden house with a fence next to it. The cottage is surrounded by some grass and a vegetable garden.
"Let's go inside! The host waited inside for a long time. The owner has a bad temper, you have to be careful when you speak. One of them said.
"Brother, this is my buddy, let her go in with me!" Zhao Renjie said.
"No! The host doesn't like to see two people at the same time, you two come one by one. One of the middle-aged men with a fierce look said coldly.
Zhao Renjie had no choice but to walk in tremblingly.
"Lord Zhao, I've scared you." There was a fifty-year-old man who was a friend sitting in the room, and when he saw Zhao Renjie coming in, he hurriedly stood up and said hello.
"Is this your hospitality?" Zhao Renjie asked rhetorically.
"I'm sorry for being rude, and I apologize to you." The man said with a smile.
Zhao Renjie looked at the other party carefully, but saw that the person was of medium height, with a stout figure, a square face, lying silkworm eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes, and a simple face when he spoke, not like a big traitor.
"Who is Your Excellency? Why do you call me Lord Zhao? My surname is Zhao, but I'm not an adult, I'm just an ordinary businessman. Zhao Renjie said.
"Lord Zhao, there is no need to hide it in front of me, I know your situation very well, your appearance, your voice, your personality, and even what you did along the way, I know everything about it." The man said.
Zhao Renjie looked surprised when he heard this?
"Who the hell is Your Excellency? Why do you want to see me in such a place? What is the teaching? Zhao Renjie asked.
"You're the newest disciple of Master Deadwood, has Master Deadwood ever mentioned one of his old friends? is also surnamed Zhao, and has some friendship with him? The man asked.
Zhao Renjie was shocked when he heard this, Master Deadwood mentioned that there was only one old man surnamed Zhao, and that person was his uncle Zhao Dong.
Zhao Renjie recalled his uncle's appearance when he was a child, and then looked at the person in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt.
"You're the third uncle?" Zhao Renjie asked in surprise.
"That's right! I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and the virtuous nephew has grown up, and he has glorified the lintel for the old Zhao family, okay! Zhao Dong's tone of voice seemed very excited.
"Third uncle, are you also one of theirs?" Zhao Renjie asked curiously.
"Who do you think of the third uncle? How could the third uncle be in the same league with those robbers? Zhao Dong said.
"Since you are not one of them, why did those officers and soldiers tie me up here?" Zhao Renjie asked.
"You mean Black Panther and his men?" Zhao Dong asked.
"Really? Those people are obviously the lackeys of the Yangzhou prefect, why would they be used by you? Zhao Renjie asked puzzled.
"I saved the life of the panther, he called me my father-in-law, and I passed on his kung fu, do you think he can not listen to me? I sent him to the prefect's yamen to seek a half-official position, wasn't it for you, a kid? You kid really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you dare to move the old fairy, don't you want to die? Zhao Dong said with a smile.
Zhao Renjie suddenly realized when he heard this, and his hanging heart finally landed.
"Uncle, the one outside is my good brother, call her in! I don't want her to worry about me. Zhao Renjie said.
"You mean Miss Ying'er! I think she has affection and righteousness for you, you kid must treat her well, and don't let down the hearts of other girls. Zhao Dong said.
Zhao Renjie listened, a little shy, and at the same time had an inexplicable sense of happiness in his heart.
"Third uncle, so you know everything?" Zhao Renjie was surprised.
"Of course I know, Ying'er was raised by me, she has a marriage with you, and the reason why Master Deadwood kept her by your side is to let the two of you cultivate a relationship." Zhao Dong said.
Zhao Renjie understood everything, no wonder he had an inexplicable impulse when he saw Ying'er for the first time.
"Renjie, the two of us recognize each other here, don't tell anyone, including Ying'er." Zhao Dong advised.
"Why? Could it be that the third uncle is not at ease with him? Zhao Renjie asked.
"It's not that I'm not worried, the less people know about this secret, the safer it is. Renjie, did you come to Yangzhou this time for the underground vault? Zhao Dong asked.
"The third uncle also knows about the underground vault?" Zhao Renjie was stunned.
"Of course I do, and I've been looking for the location of the underground vault." Zhao Dong said.
"Did you find it?" Zhao Renjie couldn't wait to ask.
"It's a bit of an eyebrow, but I'm not sure yet." Zhao Dong said.
Just when their uncle and nephew were talking in the house, Ying'er was worried about Zhao Renjie's safety and recklessly broke in.
