When Zhao Sheng returned to Hongyangzhou, another three months had passed.

Knowing that his friend had returned, Zhou Zhongyu was extremely happy, and immediately rushed over, shouting to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng pushed it, but he had to follow his friend's wishes.

The best cooks in Zhou City are all in Zhou's house, so this dust-washing banquet is simply set up in Zhao Sheng's mansion.

At the dust washing banquet, those delicacies were not mentioned, but Zhao Sheng's spirit wine was not missing at all.

Halfway through the banquet, Zhao Sheng could see that Zhou Zhongyu was trying to catch him and wash the dust, and he was clearly hiding something in his heart.

Zhao Sheng was puzzled, but he didn't say anything, just accompanied his friends to drink and chat.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhou Zhongyu's face showed seven points of drunkenness.

With the strength of the wine, he suddenly asked, "Brother Zhao, my brother wants to ask you a sincere word." Among your group of apprentices, who do you think of the most? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng paused with his hand holding the wine glass, and a few wisps of coldness suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Don't look at Zhou Zhongyu as if he was talking drunk, on the surface, he was asking which apprentice he was most optimistic about, but in essence?

In essence, it is to test Zhao Sheng's mind!

What mind?

Naturally, he tried to be drunk to find out who he left behind after he sat down.

Don't forget, Zhao Sheng's time is short, and on the surface, he is a "childless, daughterless" foundation building and casual cultivation.

Zhao Sheng's trip back to his hometown shocked some people in the Zhou family.

originally thought that after Zhao Sheng's death, his inheritance must be in the Zhou family's pocket.

Not necessarily.

Maybe someone Zhao has left his net worth and inheritance in his hometown and given it to his relatives or a "destined person".

You must know that Zhao Sheng is a second-order talisman master with superb skills, and his net worth is far richer than that of ordinary immortal cultivators in the late stage of foundation building.

With such a large amount of inheritance, if it falls into the hands of "outsiders", some people in the Zhou family will not be "mad".

Therefore, as soon as Zhao Sheng came back, Zhou Zhongyu immediately rushed over, saying that he was holding a banquet to catch the wind, but in essence, he was here to listen to the wind.

Looking at the drunken and hazy "friend", Zhao Sheng put down his wine glass, groaned for a while, and said with a smile: "Since Brother Xian asked, I will talk casually." Among my sixteen apprentices, Zhou Qingwu has the best qualifications and the best understanding. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhongyu's face was full of joy.

However, Zhao Sheng's tone changed, "But... When it comes to cultivating hard, Qingwu is not as good as Zhou Qing. Speaking of the pious reverence for the Fu Gong Sect, the enlightenment is far inferior to Zhou Yunmin. ”

After hearing this, Zhou Zhongyu said with some eagerness: "Brother Zhao, aren't you optimistic about Qingwu's nephew?"

"No, no! Qingwu is the unicorn of your Zhou family. Of course I think a lot of about him. But when it comes to passing on the mantle, he is not the most suitable person. ”

After Zhao Sheng finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass again, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this." Let's drink! ”

Zhou Zhongyu's eyes flashed with gloom, and he hurriedly picked up his wine glass and shouted, "Yes, let's drink!" I salute Brother Zhao! ”

Bang!

The two white porcelain wine glasses touched lightly together, and the spiritual wine in the cups rippled slightly, just like the mood of the two at this time.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

After the dust washing banquet, Zhao Sheng visited several important people in the next few days.

It's a ceremonial act that shows he's back.

After a few days of frequent communication, Zhao Sheng finally "free".

Seven days later, he appeared in a spirit wine shop in Xichengfang City, Zhoucheng.

This spirit wine shop is called "Baili Crisp", and it is a shop selling spirit wine on the surface, but it is actually an intelligence point under the Black Ice Platform.

The Black Ice Observatory is a spy organization, responsible for monitoring the interior of the Dayong Dynasty, and it is normal to set up special intelligence points for the "princes" in the court.

Zhao Sheng was sure that there was far more than one intelligence point like this in Zhou City.

Entering the shop and identifying himself, Zhao Sheng was quickly taken into the underground secret room of the shop, and saw the dying He Ying, He Sanye!

"Fourth Master, what about the other two?" Zhao Sheng asked with some curiosity.

He Ying likes to rely on the old and sell the old, and likes to be called the fourth master.

Zhao Sheng "followed the customs" and had no intention of dwelling on this trivial matter, so he also called the fourth master.

"Wu Nerd and Bao'er have important things to do."

He Ying didn't explain carefully, but found a reason at random.

Well!

Zhao Sheng nodded, and he didn't mean to ask carefully.

He came here today, firstly, to recognize the door, and secondly, to report on the recent movements of the Zhou family.

Taking the intelligence jade disc handed over by Zhao Sheng, He Ying flipped through it casually, looking like he didn't care too much.

Zhao Sheng was not surprised by his performance.

There is a good saying,

Sometimes it's not necessarily you who know you best, it's your enemies!

Three months ago, when he was first taken to the secret vault of the Black Ice Terrace, he saw that the information about the Zhou family was piled up in a full twenty large warehouses.

Zhao Sheng had already realized that he had made that little trick, and he couldn't get into Mo Shengxuan's eyes at all.

It's just that his cultivation is high enough that he can be valued by Mo Shengxuan.

In other words, a loose cultivator in the late stage of foundation building can also be regarded as a powerful fighter in the war to exterminate the Zhou family.

It stands to reason that it is not too difficult for the Mo family to exterminate the Zhou family.

Not to mention anything else, a primordial ancestor is enough to suppress all enemies.

However, the rules of a Cultivating Immortal Dynasty are not played like that.

As the rule-maker, the Mo family can only obtain the greatest benefit by abiding by the rules.

If you trample on the rules at will, the biggest damage will always be the royal family itself.

Therefore, if the Mo family wants to exterminate the Zhou family, only by occupying the righteousness and obeying the name can they convince the public, otherwise it will cause panic in the people of the court and lead to an unstable foundation of the dynasty.

Zhao Sheng has already understood.

Intelligence is important, but it's not the most important, the most important thing is timing!

The Mo family is waiting, waiting for the Zhou family to "make a mistake"

It's like a spider waiting for a web, waiting for a bug to make a mistake until it falls into the web.

After reading the information, He Ying nodded, put away the jade butterfly casually, and then said: "Brother Zhao, you just joined the Black Ice Terrace, and you may not know the inside story. In fact, we have already arranged a lot of secret agents inside the Zhou family. Some spies have been in the Zhou family for almost a hundred years, and some have been lurking for several generations......"

Speaking of this, He Ying said tentatively: "Do you understand what I said?"

Zhao Sheng nodded, "The words of the fourth master are very clear below!" ”

He Ying smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "So the main task of our few is not here, but in the Boiling Spring Valley!"

As soon as he heard the Boiling Spring Valley, Zhao Sheng's heart suddenly changed, so it was!

If the Zhou family wants to cultivate the Golden Ring Spirit Earthworm, they will inevitably choose to be in the Boiling Spring Valley.

Because Boiling Spring Valley is the most core and secret place of the Zhou family, and it is also the place where the ancestors of the Zhou family cultivate.

The Boiling Spring Valley was extremely well defended, and it was shrouded in a third-order defense array all year round, and it was never open to the public.

Not to mention outsiders, even the ordinary Qi Refining Clan of the Zhou family are not qualified to take a step in, unless you are promoted to the Foundation Building Realm or are favored by the Ancestors.
