Zhao Hu took the letter with a look of astonishment, and quickly opened it, only to see a few lines of crooked and slanted small characters written on it: "Big brother, thank you, I went to the Snow Mountain with my master and the old man of Snow Mountain to learn martial arts, and when I am successful in my studies, I will come back to you: Jin Lan." ”

After reading the letter, Zhao Hu folded it, put it in his arms, and said to Zhao An on the side: "We have been delayed on Hainan Island for a long time, let's return to the land of chaos today!" ”

In the eastern part of the chaotic land, the lights on the Zhaojiagang wharf are bright, and the oil lamps that are placed on the thick stone pillars emit scorching light in the dark night sky, illuminating the entire wharf brightly.

A team of guards armed with refined steel knives, exuding an iron-blooded and fierce aura, let the roaring evening breeze blow their cheeks, and their sharp eyes watched vigilantly at the crowd on the dock with the help of the light of the oil lamp, driving away anyone who wanted to approach the dock, quietly waiting for the arrival of the young master.

In front of this group of fierce guards, at the forefront of the Zhaojiagang wharf, a middle-aged fat man tightened the black coat on his body with his hand, and said softly: "Butler, Young Master Zhao Hu has been away from Zhaojiabao for so long, can he still recognize us?" ”

An old man wearing a snow-white shirt, a black vest, his hair was not messy, and he straightened up, and said with a serious face: "Zhao Xin, although the young master has been away from Zhaojiabao for six years, he was already ten years old when he left, so the young master should still recognize us!" However, it doesn't matter if the young master doesn't know us, we can recognize him. ”

An emaciated young man wearing black tights, black soft armor, and a black long sword hanging from his waist said: "The young master was already six years old when he left home, even if six years have passed, he should still recognize us, after all, in the past six years, our appearance has not changed much. ”

When Zhao Hu, accompanied by Zhao An, walked down from the big boat, Zhao Zhong immediately took a few quick steps forward with a happy face, walked to Zhao Hu's side, and said excitedly: "Welcome young master back to Zhaojiabao!" ”

Zhao Hu looked excited, took the lead in greeting his butler Zhao Zhong, opened his arms, gave him a warm hug, and said loudly: "I haven't seen him for six years, Grandpa Zhao Zhong is still as tough as before!" ”

Zhao Hu let go of the hands that he was hugging with Zhao Zhong's housekeeper, his eyes kept wandering back and forth on Zhao Xin and Zhao Yi, who were closely behind Zhao Zhong's housekeeper, and said with some uncertainty: "Uncle Zhao Xin? Brother Zhao Yi? ”

When the big fat man Zhao Xin heard Zhao Hu call out his name, he was overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth straightened up his fat belly with a smile and said: "I didn't expect the young master to leave home for ten years, and I still remember me as Uncle Zhao Xin clearly!" ”

Zhao Hu winked at the big fat man Zhao Xin a little mischievously, and said with a smile: "How could I forget Uncle Zhao Xin!" If it weren't for you, how could I have had money to buy snacks to eat when I was a child! ”

Hearing Zhao Hu mention that he stole money from himself to buy snacks when he was a child, the big fat man Zhao Xin couldn't help but smile, stepped forward, and Zhao Hu came to a warm hug, patted his fat hands on his shoulders fiercely, and then said loudly: "I didn't expect our dear young master, I still remember the naughty things when I was a child, it really flattered you Uncle Zhao Xin!" ”

Hearing the words of the big fat man Zhao Xin, Zhao Hu smiled a little embarrassedly, let go of the hands that he was hugging Zhao Xin, and gave Zhao Yi a big hug with an excited face, and said in an excited tone: "Brother Zhao Yi, your 'Ghost Shadow Sword Technique' has been cultivated to the first level, you can't use it to bully me!" ”

Feeling Zhao Hu's joy and excitement from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Yi's face also showed a faint smile, patted his shoulder vigorously, and said loudly: "Don't worry!" In the future, you Brother Zhao Yi, I will definitely not bully you, but help you bully others. ”

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Zhao Hu said with a happy face: "That's good!" ”

Zhao Zhong's housekeeper, seeing the excitement on Zhao Hu's face, had a tendency to continue chatting with Zhao Yi, and hurriedly took advantage of the persuasion and said: "Okay, okay, let's talk about it on the road!" What has become of standing here and catching up? ”

Hearing Zhao Zhong's housekeeper's words, and looking at the dark night sky in the distance, and the roaring evening wind, Zhao Hu and Zhao Yi couldn't help but smile at each other, followed behind Zhao Zhong's housekeeper, and under the protection of many guards, left the dock and boarded a huge carriage with eight majestic black horses.

After entering the huge carriage, Zhao Hu found that the space inside the carriage was very large, enough for more than a dozen people to sit, and the interior decoration of the carriage was also very luxurious, and many places were decorated with a lot of gold and precious stones.

There is a huge transparent crystal lamp hanging on the top of the carriage, emitting a soft light, and the seats on both sides of the carriage are also paved with a layer of cushions made of second-order demon tiger fur, and people sit on it, very comfortable, without a little bumpy feeling.

Zhao Hu casually looked at the interior decoration of the carriage, and after hesitating for a while, he asked softly, "Grandpa Zhao Zhong, what is the situation in Zhaojiabao?" After the accidental death of my parents, did anyone jump out and snatch the family property? ”

Seeing that Zhao Hu took the initiative to ask about the situation of the Zhao family, Zhao Zhong hesitated, sighed lightly, and said with a depressed expression: "Young Master Zhao Hu, let's tell you the truth!" The current situation of the family is extremely bad, and there is a possibility that it will be torn apart at any time and taken advantage of by other forces.

Before Zhao An grows up, it is extremely difficult for you to take over the entire Zhaojiabao smoothly, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is simply an impossible thing! ”

Hearing Zhao Zhong's words, seeing his depressed expression, Zhao Hu did not have any surprises, after he learned that his parents and family elites were all buried in the sea, he thought of this result, so Zhao Hu said with an unchanged expression: "Grandpa Zhao Zhong, don't be so depressed, you can tell you in detail about the situation in Zhaojiabao, things may not be as bad as you think." ”

Seeing that there was no trace of panic and surprise on Zhao Hu's face, Zhao Zhong nodded secretly in his heart, feeling that he had studied in Qinglong Academy for six years and had not studied in vain.

So he sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Since more than a month ago, the castle owner and his wife carried most of the money and grain of Zhaojiabao, and under the protection of the elite of 10,000 families, they went to sea to Tianxian Island to do business.

First of all, the eighteen affiliated families of Zhaojiabao began to stop obeying the orders of the family, and even continued to take the opportunity to expand their sphere of influence, gradually encroaching on our Zhaojiabao's territory and suppressing our Zhaojiabao's industry.

At the same time, the Flying Tiger Gang, which is hundreds of kilometers northwest of Zhaojiapu, has also begun to dishonestly dispatch troops and constantly create friction and conflicts in the border area with our Zhaojiapu, and over the past month or so, they have quietly occupied three small towns and 16 villages in Zhaojiabao, totaling more than 200,000 people.

Secondly, the six uncles of the young master, after learning that the castle owner and his wife had died and the family's 10,000 elites had been lost, they sent envoys to Zhaojiabao one after another, asking for a share of the family industry, vigorously criticizing the behavior of the castle owner and his wife for suppressing them during their lifetime, and strongly demanding to obtain the family's valuable land.

At the same time, it is also said that the young master has left home since he was a child, has not made any contribution to the family, and does not have any incomparable strength, so he cannot lead the family to glory, so he is not qualified to inherit the property of Zhao Jiabao and become the new head of the Zhao family.

In the end, with the loss of the 10,000 family elites who followed the castle lord and his wife, the entire Zhaojia Fort only had 10,000 guards, 1,000 family guards, and 50,000 city guards who did not have much combat effectiveness, which was not at all the opponent of the eighteen affiliated families or the six uncles of the young master.

What's even more desperate is that among the remnants of the family's army, Yang Feng, the most elite captain of the 10,000 Escort Team, has recently been very close to the young master's second uncle Zhao Hong, and he may betray the family at any time and become the minions of the young master's second uncle.

Once Yang Feng betrays the family and the 10,000 guards no longer obey the young master's orders, then the young master will lose the last hope of controlling the family and be forced to leave Zhaojiabao and become a homeless wanderer. ”

Zhao Hu touched the dark dagger pinned to his waist, and a trace of cold killing intent rose in his heart. Although Zhao Hu is not very old, he has been in control of Andy City for several years, and he has already developed a coercion of a superior person, even if he crosses over to the Qinglong Continent and is attached to the body of a rich child, the coercion exuded in his bones is also extremely rich, which makes the faces of Zhao Zhong, Zhao Yi, and Zhao Xin in the carriage all show surprise.

Zhao Hu, who exuded a strong sense of coercion from the superior in his bones, when he learned that his property was being spied on by thieves, the murderous intent in his heart unconsciously rose, and he said in a flat tone: "Grandpa Zhao Zhong, you give me a detailed introduction to the situation in the family, tell me that those people are absolutely loyal and can be used by us, those people are neutral and vacillating, and they can try their best to fight for them, and those people cannot be fought for and must be eradicated." ”

Feeling the faint killing intent emanating from Zhao Hu's body, Zhao Zhong and Zhao Yi, as well as Zhao Xin on the side, all breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Zhao Hu was not as weak as he imagined, but an iron-blooded person like the castle lord.

The three of them are loyal to Zhaojiabao, they have served Zhaojiabao for generations, and they were given the surname Zhao, so they really don't want to see Zhaojiabao in their hands, and they don't want Zhao Hu, the young castle master, to have any bad accidents.
