Today's Zhao family, three generations have their own duties.

As the head of the family, the old Guogong who is old and virtuous sits in the capital, the highest yamen of the military - the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and Zhao Ning's parents are fairy couples, guarding Yanmen Pass together.

Among the younger generation, the "little girl" Zhao Qiyue is the oldest, the out-and-out eldest sister, and she needs to take care of her younger siblings on weekdays.

Zhao Qiyue's name was given by her father Zhao Beiwang, and the source couldn't be simpler: she was born in July.

can obtain the name of his biological daughter so casually, which shows how lazy and free Zhao Beiwang's temperament is. This is a guy who doesn't even want to sit in the position of head of the family - otherwise, Zhao Ning would not have been made the heir to the family early.

Zhao Beiwang guarded Yanmen Pass as the main general, and even his wife was not at ease, so he had to accompany him.

Along the way, Zhao Ning carefully introduced all the events that happened in this day to Zhao Qiyue.

Back at the mansion, Zhao Xiaoyue lay down on a chair, drooped her gloomy eyes and said, "I told you a long time ago that Zhao Yujie is scheming and not a good thing, you don't believe it." This time I suffered a lot, do you know it's awesome?"

She leaned back on the left arm of the chair and put her legs on the right armrest, and a Taishi chair made her sit low, and it was also thanks to her petite body that she could tolerate it, "However, when did you refine "Thousand Army Formula" and "Mirror Water Step"?"

After asking, without waiting for Zhao Ning to find an excuse to prevaricate, Zhao Qiyue waved his hand first, shouted outside the door, and asked Xia He to bring Fan Qinglin in for trial, probably because he felt that this matter was more important.

As for when Zhao Ning practiced these two exercises, it was just a fact that was destined to have an answer, and it didn't matter.

The important thing is that Zhao Ning has already cultivated, that is a great thing, he can ask the inside story at any time, and he can discuss how to cultivate these two exercises at any time.

When Fan Qinglin was lifted into the door and thrown on the ground, he still looked like he was unconscious. Xia He poured tea on his face, but he didn't move.

She was thinking about what to do, but Zhao Qiyue, who was impatient, jumped up from the chair, took two steps to Fan Qinglin, raised her foot and stepped on his knees.

This kick was merciless, accompanied by a tooth-aching clicking sound, Fan Qinglin's leg twisted abnormally, and after a pig-like scream, he shrank into a ball of pain while holding his broken leg.

"It's naïve to think that you can escape torture by pretending to be dead. Zhao Qiyue lay back on the Taishi chair made of Nanmu, Fan Qinglin's miserable appearance did not move her in the slightest, "Say, who are you, why did you assassinate Brother Ning, and who is the mastermind behind it?"

Zhao Ning sat aside and did not intervene.

Although the paradigm is a noble family, it has declined, and Fan Qinglin is not the son of the head of the family, and the identity of Zhao Qiyue and Zhao Ning is very different, and he is not in the same circle, so he didn't know each other before.

Fan Qinglin was sweating in pain, he raised his head and stared at Zhao Xiaoya with hatred when he heard the words, gritted his teeth and wanted to say two cruel words, but before he could make a sound, he heard Zhao Qiyue, who was about to drink tea, pick up the tea bowl and prepare to drink tea, and said to Xia He without raising his head: "Break his other two legs too." ”

Fan Qing's legs tightened, and his soul was in a hurry, and he hurriedly shouted: "How can you be like this, I haven't opened my mouth yet, how do you know that I don't want to confess?"

Zhao Qiyue glanced at him: "If you want to confess, you will confess obediently, and then dare to stare at the tough guy and gouge out your eyeballs!"

Fan Qinglin: "......"

The torture process was brutal.

"It turned out to be the Fan family!" Zhao Qiyue stood up suddenly, her low eyes made her face look cloudy, "I'll go to Fan Zhongming to settle accounts!"

Zhao Ning grabbed her: "It's not appropriate to do it now." ”

"Why?"

Fan Zhongming sat in the official office of the Daizhou Mansion, calmly handling today's official documents.

The assassin Shi came out with the masters of the government office, and the entire yamen was empty, only a few officials such as Fan Zhongming who were responsible for staying behind.

For the officials of the government, the most important thing at the moment is to catch the person who assassinated Zhao Ning, give the Zhao family an explanation, and other official duties can be put aside for the time being.

It's just that these people couldn't have imagined that the person they wanted to arrest was sitting high in the yamen at the moment, exercising his power in the case.

After reviewing an official document, Fan Zhongming raised his head and glanced out of the door, with a look of pride in his eyes.

He pondered: "The news that Qinglin has succeeded should come back soon." This originally very simple matter, although there were some waves, as long as Zhao Ning died, he would still return to his original track. ”

Thinking of this, Fan Zhongming's thoughts gradually drifted away, and the rat whisker pen in his hand was also placed on the inkstone.

This time, cooperating with those people to deal with the Zhao family is a last resort, and it is also the need for ZTE to break the paradigm.

Although the paradigm is Xungui, there are eighteen portals in the Jiangmen Xungui sequence, and the number is too large, and the power of one surname and one family is not so great. The imperial dynasty was peaceful for a hundred years, and there was almost no war on the frontier, and the gate became an ornament.

Without military merits, the status and importance of the generals naturally declined, and a lot of authority held at the time of the founding of the country has to be spit out a lot now.

In the past few decades, the civil officials have become bigger, and their power has flourished day by day, and they have shouted the slogan of "swords and soldiers are put into the warehouse, and horses are put in Nanshan for the peaceful and prosperous era", constantly squeezing the power of Jiangmen. Many generals were overwhelmed by the suppression, lost many important positions in the court, and their interests diminished day by day.

Paradigm is one of them.

Especially 20 years ago, the Southern Barbarians Koubian provoked a side provocation, which was originally a move that did not know whether to live or die, and took the lead in leading the troops to the paradigm, preparing to make great military achievements and glorify the lintel, but was defeated by the other party, lost his teacher and humiliated the country, was held accountable by the imperial court, and the decline of the family road accelerated.

Forced by reality, in order to seek a turnaround, Paradigm had to switch to the civilian sequence.

However, although the civilian-bureaucratic group is in full swing, and there are many mountains inside, how easy is it for the halfway monk of the paradigm to go over and get a piece of the pie?

Nowadays, the situation of the paradigm has become so severe that if there is no major opportunity, it will completely decline and will not be able to gain a foothold in the court.

The struggling Fan family had no way to enter the heavens and the earth, and they were already desperate.

Until those people come to the door.

"Zhao family, Zhao family, the first noble of Jiangmen who monopolizes Yanmen Pass! How can such a big tree not attract wind? There will be such things now, don't blame the Fan family, this is the current situation, the general trend in the peaceful season......

Fan Zhongming let out a long breath, collected his thoughts, picked up the rat whisker pen from the green stone inkstone, and was about to open another official document when a paradigm cultivator hurriedly trotted in from outside.

Seeing the other party, Fan Zhongming's heart tightened, this person was sent by him to observe Fan Qinglin's actions, and now that he is back, he naturally brought back the news, but why did the other party look panicked?

"What are you talking about? All of our people have been killed, and even Qinglin has been captured by the other party? How is this possible! Zhao Ning's kid has no master by his side!" Fan Zhongming was startled when he heard the other party's report, and his eyes were about to bulge.

"My lord, the operation started smoothly, everything was as we expected, Zhao Ning's guy was going to be killed by us. But at the critical moment, a little woman appeared out of nowhere, captured the son, and killed all of our people!"

Fan Zhongming blushed his neck and roared: "Where did the little girl come from?! In Daizhou City, there is no Zhao master at all! Little woman...... Little woman, such a powerful little woman, is it ...... It's Zhao Qiyue of the Yuan God Realm?!But she didn't go with Zhao Ning, she should be in the capital, how could she suddenly appear here?!"

"This ...... My lord, my subordinates don't know. ”

Zhao Zhongming sat down on the chair.

The sudden change was completely unexpected by him, and he was caught off guard, and his mind was confused for a while, and he didn't know how to deal with it. Taking a deep breath and trying to hold his head, he began to think carefully about how to save the situation.

"My lord, since Childe has been arrested, maybe he will confess all the important things this time, so it's better for us to leave quickly!" the paradigm cultivator hurriedly said.

"Don't panic! As soon as you leave at this time, what will happen to the next actions, and what will I do with my paradigm plan and the future?" Fan Zhongming had completely calmed down, and his eyes flashed and quickly weighed the pros and cons.

He said: "Qinglin is my son, I know what kind of character he is, even if he falls into the mouth of the tiger and has to confess, he won't say what he shouldn't say! So even if Zhao Qiyue comes, he can't completely reverse the situation." She's just entered the middle stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, so she can't do anything with me!"

Speaking of this, he made a decision in his heart: "We still have a chance!"

"Opportunity?

"Make things bigger, so that Zhao Beiwang has the opportunity to return to Daizhou City!"

"But if there is a master of the Yuan God Realm who attacks and kills the children of the Zhao family in Daizhou City, the impact will be too great, and it will inevitably attract the attention of the imperial court, and His Majesty will be furious and order a thorough investigation, and we will be in danger of being exposed......"

"This problem is easy to solve. Fan Zhongming was confident.

He continued: "Since Zhao Qiyue is also in the middle of the Yuan Shen Realm, I expect that after she learns Qinglin's identity, she will definitely bring Zhao Ning to seek revenge on me. At that time, I only need to take action to seriously injure the two of them, you say, can Zhao Beiwang still sit still in Yanmen Pass?"

Zhao Ning pulled Zhao Qiyue to sit down again, and said seriously: "Although you and Fan Zhongming are both in the middle stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, you have just entered the middle stage, and you may not be able to bargain with Zhao Zhongming directly." ”

"Everyone is in the same realm, can I still be afraid of him?"

Zhao Qiyue's anger continued unabated, and he was very dissatisfied with Zhao Ning's behavior of underestimating him, "My brother was almost killed, how can I be indifferent?

Zhao Ning opened his mouth, didn't know what to say for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "The problem is that Fan Qinglin didn't kill me." ”

"So what?"

"You also heard Fan Qinglin say just now, he just admired Zhao Yujie, and he didn't know that I was intercepted and killed in the middle of the way, and he dealt with me today because he was confused by love, and wanted to kill a few cultivators of the Zhao family, teach me a lesson, and be angry for Zhao Yujie. ”

"You believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it. But he is about to be tortured to death by you, and he still bites this argument to death, and if he doesn't let go, others may not believe it. No matter how big this incident is, it is just a grievance between the two families, at most it will make the paradigm suffer a little loss, and it will not be able to dig out the mastermind behind this incident. ”

"And the mastermind behind it?"

"With a few courages from the Fan family, they don't dare to deal with our Zhao family alone. ”

"How are you going to find out who is behind it?"

"Drag. ”

"Drag?"

Zhao Ning nodded, and suddenly smiled, "Sister, what do you say, what is Fan Zhongming thinking at this time?"
