Chapter 13: Murder by the Sword

Zhao Fei, who hadn't shown up for a long time, decided to go outside. He first went to visit his grandfather, uncle, and third uncle.

After having lunch with them, he went to Xu's Mansion again.

Three months had passed, and Zhao Fei had rarely been mentioned in Flame City.

Although Dabi No. 1 has brought him a reputation, when you disappear from people's sight for a long time, everyone will gradually forget about you.

In the evening, Zhao Fei and Old Man Qingfeng sat in the living room and chatted.

"This house is so big that it looks empty for the three of us. I want to discuss something with you, grandpa. ”

"Boy, if you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush. Old Man Qingfeng said with a smile.

"It's a bit of a waste for us to live in such a big yard, and I want to revive the Zhao family. When I went to visit my grandfather today, I discussed with him and prepared to let them all move over and take this place as the foundation of our Zhao family. ”

"Hmm. Your idea is good, you are thinking correctly, and we can't live in so many houses. There are many people and it is very popular. Instead of being idle, it is better to let everyone move over, and it is much easier to take care of it. ”

Old Man Qingfeng agreed with Zhao Fei's opinion and strongly supported him in doing so.

Since Yan Xue's last defeat, she has rarely appeared in Flame City, and has been cultivating hard behind closed doors.

The hatred for Zhao Fei is the motivation to support her hard cultivation, she must work hard to improve her cultivation, and strive to defeat Zhao Fei as soon as possible, only by defeating Zhao Fei herself can she be ashamed.

After three months of hard work, she had now reached the third order of the Refining Realm, which was also a huge progress. It also gave her a huge boost to her self-confidence.

"Miss, Duan Gongzi from the City Lord's Mansion came to look for you, he has been waiting for you in the living room for a long time. Her personal maid, Xiaocui, came in to report to her.

"Duan Gongzi is here, so why don't you invite him to my boudoir quickly, he is not an outsider. ”

Duan Chun, the third son of the city lord Duan Wuji.

He is unassuming. Although he was born in a family of eunuchs, he never relied on his father's power to do evil.

Although he was only eighteen years old, he was already a third-order refining realm, and he could also be called a young talent in the entire Flame City.

Ever since he saw Yan Xue, he was deeply impressed by Yan Xue's beauty.

It was precisely because he once revealed to Yan Xue that he liked her that there was a farce of the Yan family coming to the door to withdraw from the marriage.

"Duan Gongzi, why are you so idle today? You actually have time to come and see me. ”

Yan Xue's flattering smile made Duan Chun smitten.

You don't need a reason to like someone, since the first time she saw her, Duan Chun's soul was taken away by her. Now Yan Xue smiled at him, and he was numb.

"I know you've been cultivating behind closed doors, so I didn't dare to disturb you. Last night, my father gave me two pills, and I came over to give you one. ”

Duan Chun took out the pill from his body and handed it to Yan Xue.

This was a crystal clear elixir, Yan Xue had never seen it before, and she didn't know the function and efficacy of the elixir. She raised her head and looked at Duan Chun with a puzzled gaze.

"This is a righteous qi pill, which my father just brought back from the imperial city. It is said to be precious, and it has the effect of quick recovery if it is injured internally. Although it cannot be without the effect of resurrecting the dead, a quick recovery can still be achieved. ”

Hearing Duan Chun's explanation, Yan Xue was secretly happy in her heart.

"Thank you, Duan Gongzi, how can I be embarrassed to accept such a valuable gift?"

Yan Xue looked embarrassed, and she handed the pill back to Duan Chun. She was acting, and she was desperate to get this elixir in her heart, but she couldn't accept it at will. She wanted to adjust Duan Chun's appetite.

"Miss Yan, compared to my admiration for you, this pill is insignificant. I sincerely send it to you, I hope you can see my sincere affection for you, please don't shirk again. ”

"That little woman will be hypocritical if she refuses again, then I will accept it, thank you Duan Gongzi. Seeing Yan Xue accept the elixir, Duan Chun was immediately overjoyed.

"Duan Gongzi, you said that this pill was brought back from the Imperial City by the City Lord?"

Yan Xue just got a message from Duan Chun's mouth, that is, the city lord Duan Wuxian had returned, and she wanted to confirm it again.

A few days after Dabi ended, Duan Wuxian went to the Imperial City, and every three years, the city lord had to go to the Imperial City to face the saint. Zhao Fei offended the city lord, and now that the city lord is back, it is time to settle accounts.

"Yes, my father just returned to the City Lord's Mansion yesterday. ”

Confirming that the city lord had returned, Yan Xue began to secretly think in her heart about how to provoke an incident between Zhao Fei and the city lord.

"I'm going to tell my father in a few days and ask him to find someone to come over and propose to the Yan family. Duan Chun's face was full of excitement.

"Duan Gongzi, this matter must not be allowed. You know that I was humiliated by Zhao Fei in public, and it has only been three months now, and your reputation will be humiliated if you come to propose marriage. ”

Yan Xue was worried that he couldn't find a reason, and now Duan Chun gave a very good excuse and opportunity.

"Hmph! This son is so arrogant, I will not let him go easily. confronted his father in person, and this account has not been settled with him. ”

Duan Chun had lost himself in front of the beauty, and he never had the heart to resent Zhao Fei.

"After I take revenge myself, we will talk about marriage, and if I can't take revenge in this life, I would rather die alone for the rest of my life. ”

Yan Xue's determination stung Duan Chun even more, he felt that he should do something for Yan Xue, otherwise he would not be able to hold the beauty as he wished.

After saying goodbye to Yan Xue, Duan Chun hurried back to his house, and he wanted to tell his father what he thought in his heart.

The City Lord's Mansion has been very lively in the past two days, and after Duan Wuxian returned from the Imperial City, countless celebrities and nobles came to visit him. The name of the visit, in fact, is to come to give gifts and show goodwill to the city lord.

It has been twenty years since Duan Wuxian took over as the city lord, and Flame City is fairly stable under his governance. His means of managing the city are still okay, but his narrow-minded and retributive personality has not allowed him to gain a good reputation, and many people dare not speak out against him.

Because he has a bit of background in the emperor, and he is good at stammering, the position of the city lord is firmly grasped by him.

In fact, during this period of time, Wuxian had almost forgotten about Zhao Fei, a little person, and he would not take these civilians seriously after all.

At this time, he was talking and chatting with the guests in the living room, and Duan Chun hurriedly walked in from outside.

"When did you have it?"

"I'm fine. ”

Seeing that there were guests, Duan Chun swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Seeing his son's stumbling appearance, Duan Wuxian knew that he must have something, but he was embarrassed to say it because there were guests.

"If you have something to say, just say it, your Uncle Zhang is not an outsider. ”

Duan Wuxian didn't care that there were outsiders, but when he said this, the guests were very moved. He felt that Duan Wuxian regarded himself as a friend and his own. He was extremely excited when he thought of this.

This person is none other than Zhang Fanbin's father, Zhang Zhiyong.

"Father, I went to Yan's house just now and saw Miss Yan Xue. ”

"Oh, do you need to tell me about this?"

"No, father, I want you to arrange for someone to go over to propose marriage, I want to marry Yan Xue. ”

Duan Chun looked at his father with blank eyes.

"That girl has a good talent, and she is also smart, although the strength of the family is weaker, since you have taken a fancy to her, it is her blessing, I will go back and arrange this matter. ”

Duan Wuxian stroked his beard, he was in favor of this marriage.

"Father, Yan Xue didn't want us to go over to propose marriage for the time being, I told her about it, but she refused me. ”

Duan Chun stood there dejectedly.

"Bold, is his Yan family's wings stiff? You can take a fancy to her, that's her blessing, she actually dares to refuse, does the Yan family want to be removed from Flame City?"

Duan Wuxian stood up suddenly, his face angry.

"No, father. Maybe I didn't make it clear. Yan Xue doesn't have any opinions on me, it's just that she has a knot in her heart and is not ready to talk about marriage for the time being. ”

"Oh, what's in her heart?"

"Some time ago, she was humiliated by Zhao Fei in public, and she said that she would marry me when she took revenge. But Zhao Fei is much stronger than her, how long will it take for her to surpass Zhao Fei?"

Duan Chun's face was frustrated, he had seen that day, Yan Xue would not be able to surpass Zhao Fei in the short term, but he didn't want to wait too long.

"I see, if you don't say it, I'll forget about it. That kid dared to contradict me, he was impatient. At the mention of Zhao Fei, Duan Wuxian was even more angry.

"Don't talk about this for the time being, I have my own judgment, you can retreat first. ”

Duan Chun retreated, but he knew that his father was angry, and he would definitely help him clean up Zhao Fei's kid.

"Lord City, please calm your anger, it's not a trivial matter for this grass people to clean him up, if your lord can trust him, I will let him disappear from Flame City in a short time. ”

Zhang Zhiyong said flatteringly to Duan Wuxian. He also hated Zhao Fei, his son was defeated at the hands of his brothers, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to vent his anger for his son. Since the city lord also dislikes him, why not be a favor, not only to make his son angry, but also to let the city lord lead his own favor.

Zhang Zhiyong made a good calculation.

"Well, brother, I'll leave this matter to you. After all, he is my people, and I disdain to make a move on him. Duan Wuxian nodded.

Wanting to erase Zhao Fei is effortless for him, as long as he makes a look, there are countless people who are willing to take action for himself.

A third-order refining realm, pinching him to death is easier than pinching an ant to death.

And Zhao Fei was cultivating hard at home, but he didn't know that someone was planning him behind him. Yan Xue's plan to kill people with a knife has succeeded, and her grief has incited Duan Chun. And Duan Chun lived up to her expectations, and successfully aroused his father's anger against Zhao Fei, and a conspiracy against Zhao Fei was brewing.

Zhao Fei's grandfather Zhao Wuwei has already entered Zhao Fei's new house, and at the same time, the third uncle Zhao Zhenduo's family and his uncle Zhao Zhenbiao's family have moved over.

More than 20 people lived in the huge mansion at once, and the atmosphere became lively, no longer as lifeless as before.
