Chapter 15: The humiliation of the Zhao family
Back at the inn, the two horses were well served by the innkeepers, and they were fat and strong.
After resting at the inn for the night, they mounted their horses and hurried towards the City of Fire.
It has been more than 40 days since he left home, and Zhao Fei is thinking about his sister Zhao Yuer, as well as his grandfather and third uncle.
Ten days after Zhao Fei left, the City Lord's Mansion sent a message to Zhao Fei to the City Lord's Mansion.
However, how can Zhao Fei go over at home at all?
Zhao Zhenduo personally ran to the City Lord's Mansion to meet the City Lord Duan Wuxian, how could he see Duan Wuxian with his low status?
As a result, he was beaten out by the soldiers, Zhao Zhenduo was very annoyed, but there was no way.
On the way back, he met Zhang Fanbin again, but was ridiculed by Zhang Fanbin again.
Zhao Zhenduo was angry but instigated Zhang Fanbin to slap him, which stabbed the hornet's nest.
Zhang Zhiyong led a group of masters into Zhao's house.
Although the Zhao family has made rapid progress recently, after all, the foundation is too shallow, where is the opponent of the Zhang family, as a result, several people were injured, and Zhao Zhenduo was even more bruised.
If it weren't for the Xu family to help and stand up and speak for them, they would even be wiped out by the Zhang family.
Zhao Fei didn't show up when this kind of big event happened, and they were sure that Zhao Fei was really not in Flame City. Zhang Zhiyong took the opportunity to give Xu Baichuan a face, and then withdrew from the Zhao family.
Zhao Ming was also injured, he was injured by Zhang Fanbin. Zhang Fanbin himself definitely can't hurt Zhao Ming, and whether he can beat Zhao Ming has to be said separately. The main thing is that he has helpers, and if two people fight one person, they will definitely win.
At this time, the Zhao family was overcast, and they spent every day in torment for this month.
Zhao Zhenduo was injured and couldn't afford to invite a doctor to see a doctor, because no doctor was willing to offend the Zhang family. When this kind of thing happened, no one in the City Lord's Mansion actually asked, and everyone understood that there was a City Lord's Mansion at work.
Fortunately, Xu Ruyi brought a doctor to treat them, and their condition is only slightly better now.
Zhao Wuwei was also injured, and his injuries were not serious. The most seriously injured were Zhao Zhenduo and Zhao Ming.
After the doctor's treatment, Zhao Ming has now recovered, but Zhao Zhenduo can only get up from the bed now and cannot walk.
"Third uncle, you drink the medicine. ”
Zhao Yu'er brought the medicine to the bed, and since Zhao Zhenduo was injured, Yu'er gave him decoction every day.
"Yu'er, you're a good boy. ”
Zhao Zhenduo stroked Yu'er's head with mixed feelings.
He didn't know why his second brother and second sister-in-law were so ruthless, leaving his children and disappearing directly, and he hadn't come back to see them once in ten years.
The brother and sister are loyal and honest, and they are very sensible. The Zhao family can have today, this is all won by Zhao Fei. This made him ashamed that he was an uncle, and he failed to give them a happy life, but asked his nephew to take care of him.
He is in his forties, but now his cultivation is very low, and he is bullied by others when he is knocked on the door, and he has no power to resist. He was ashamed to think of it.
He felt sorry for his nephew and niece, as well as his second brother and second sister-in-law.
The Zhao family just had a little fame in Flame City, but this time they were beaten back to their original form by the Zhang family. Originally, those who had come to give gifts before did not stand up to speak for the Zhao family. He saw the faces of these people thoroughly, and these powerful villains made him feel cold.
Once Xu Ruyi said that he showed his mouth, the Xu family gave the city lord a lot of valuable gifts, and finally the Zhao family was let go by the city lord's mansion.
They didn't understand how the Zhao family had offended the big man of the city lord, and why Duan Wuxian would bother with their group of little people.
Zhao Fei and the old man have been away from home for more than 40 days, and they are always worried about Zhao Fei's safety.
I hope they will come back soon, and I hope they don't come back.
I hope they will come back soon, so that at least they will be heard from and they will all be alive and healthy.
I didn't expect them to come back, because I was afraid that the Zhang family and the City Lord's Mansion would trouble Zhao Fei, after all, they were targeting Zhao Fei.
The Zhao family was hit this time, and Yan Xue was very happy.
She knew the reason for the matter, and although she didn't hit Zhao Fei this time, she was also very happy.
A few days ago, Zhang Zhiyong came to the Yan family on behalf of the city lord Duan Wuxian to propose marriage, which showed the attitude of the city lord.
The Yan family happily agreed, first, they wanted to cling to the powerful, and second, the city lord helped them breathe a sigh of relief.
Yan Xue wanted to hold the shelf, but after thinking about it, she didn't dare, in case she overdone it, it would be counterproductive.
Yan Xue of the Yan family and Duan Chun, the third son of the city lord, held an engagement ceremony three days later.
The news spread quickly in Flame City, and those who wanted to get along with the City Lord's Mansion and the Yan family quickly prepared gifts, and they all had to show themselves at this time.
"Father, should we give a gift when the two of them are engaged?"
Zhao Wuwei came to visit Zhao Zhenduo, and Zhao Zhenduo asked his father.
"The City Lord's Mansion itself has opinions about us, if we don't go, will our Zhao family still have a way to survive in Flame City in the future? Since the City Lord's Mansion has gone, we will definitely have to go to the Yan family, they wear one-legged pants, if they don't go to the Yan family to make amends, we can't bear them together. ”
Zhao Wuwei shook his head and sighed deeply.
"What kind of gift should I prepare?"
"San'er, you know what we were like. We can live in this house and have this kind of life, all of which Fei'er earned for us. The little money in his hand is also his filial piety to us, and now he takes it out and gives it to his enemies, and I am unwilling. ”
Father's helplessness, Zhao Zhenduo understands it. But it's useless to just understand, now you must get rid of the predicament in front of you, and you must dissolve the hatred before Zhao Fei returns. If they make a move on Zhao Fei, they will regret it at that time.
They are all kind-hearted people, who think about the good of the problem and never look at the problem in an extreme way.
Even if they give gifts, what if they give away all their family property, can the City Lord's Mansion and the Yan family, and the Zhang family let them go?
In the evening, Xu Baichuan came to Zhao's house, and he handed Zhao Zhenduo a night pearl.
"Third child, I know that you are having a hard time now, and I can't help much. This pearl of the night is still worth some money, and you can give it to the city lord when the time comes, maybe they will let you go for the sake of this gift. ”
The Xu family has already paid a lot for the Zhao family, and at this time, they brought the Night Pearl, which made Zhao Zhenduo even more moved.
"Brother Xu, you are unforgettable for the help of the Zhao family, once Fei'er has a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you for your great kindness. ”
Zhao Zhenduo bowed to Xu Baichuan and said it sincerely.
The Xu family has indeed favored them too much recently, and they can't forget this affection, and they won't forget it.
"Third child, everyone is their own person, so you don't have to be so polite. I have prepared some gifts for you from the Yan family, and I will send them to you when the time comes. ”
Xu Baichuan accompanied Zhao Zhenduo for a while, and then got up to say goodbye, and Zhao Yuer and Zhao Ming sent him to the gate all the time.
After Xu Baichuan left, Zhao Zhenduo shed tears with the night pearl.
He was moved by everything the Xu family had done, and he was unwilling to give gifts to the enemy.
But they had no choice, if they were angered again, the Zhao family would have no place in Flame City.
When Zhao Ming returned to the house and saw his father crying, he secretly clenched his fists. He swore in his heart that he would avenge this humiliation in the future, otherwise he would not be a man.
Xu Baichuan returned to the mansion with a grim face, and he withstood all the pressure to help the Zhao family, which had already caused the dissatisfaction of the city lord Duan Wuxian.
Although he gave a generous gift to the city lord last time, he calmed down the situation first. But he felt that the city lord had set his sights on him, he was no longer satisfied with some small favors, and he had a very big appetite recently, and he wanted to engulf the Xu family.
The Xu family is quite wealthy, and it is the top five family in Flame City.
Although Xu Baichuan is now a fourth-order master of the Earth Refining Realm, there is still a certain gap between him and the city lord.
Besides, Duan Wuxian is a dynasty official, and he doesn't dare to, and he has no power to fight against him. Because he represents the Blue Wolf Emperor, if he is an enemy of him, he may be an enemy of the entire dynasty.
The Xu family is just a drop in the ocean, and the confrontation with the Blue Wolf Empire is like a drop of water falling into the ocean, it will be directly submerged, and there will be no Xu family in the world.
Zhao Fei's heart was like an arrow, he hurried all the way home, he didn't know what happened to the Zhao family in the forty days he left.
He misses Yu'er, he misses grandpa, he just wants to see them earlier.
Finally returned home, standing outside the south gate of Flame City, looking at the city gate, Zhao Fei was very excited.
Zhao Fei led two horses into the city.
Some time ago, when I was walking on the street, someone would come up to greet me from time to time. Many people stepped forward and called him respectfully: "Zhao Gongzi." ”
And today when he walked into the city, everyone ignored his existence, and even many people saw him hiding from him, which made Zhao Fei very strange.
He and the old man hurried to their home, and just when they arrived at the door, they happened to meet Yu'er coming out of it.
"Brother, Grandpa Wang, are you back?"
Yu'er rushed into Zhao Fei's arms excitedly, hugged her brother tightly, and her tears flowed involuntarily.
"It's not good for girls to cry and snot, it's ugly. ”
Zhao Fei helped his sister wipe away her tears and said to her with a smile.
Zhao Ming also rushed out of the courtyard, and when he saw the old man and Zhao Fei, his face showed surprise.
After greeting the old man and Zhao Fei, he led the horse and walked towards the courtyard.
Zhao Fei took his sister's hand and walked towards the house, he didn't notice anything unusual.
But the old man's brows were furrowed, he smelled a different smell, during the time they left, something big must have happened in the Zhao family.
His instincts have always been accurate, and he has always been confident in his instincts.
Yu'er's tears and the sadness on Zhao Ming's face were not hidden from him. They didn't say it because they didn't have time to say it, or because they wanted to go into the house and say it.
As long as someone dares to touch the Zhao family, then he will not be polite to him. Because Zhao Fei and the others are already his relatives, will they stand idly by and watch when they do it to their relatives?
Although these small fish and shrimp themselves are not taken into account, they should still be taught a lesson.
"Yu'er, are grandpa and third uncle all right?"
"Grandpa is fine, the third uncle is still lying in bed and can't walk. ”
