Volume 5: The First Song 468: Night Talk (1)

Qian Chao was a little confused, he had just learned that it was a junior of the Jing clan who was going to kill him, named Jing Lu, this person he didn't know, he hadn't seen it, but it was Jing Lu's future Taoist companion who came to tell him all this at night, and it can also be said that Chao Zhu in front of him is Jing Lu's fiancΓ©e, which is very strange.

And Chao Zhu has been looking at Qian Chao very calmly after saying this, observing Qian Chao's reaction.

In Qian Chao's opinion, it is really difficult for him to distinguish the truth of Chao Zhu's words, but what she said also made Qian Chao very curious, and she will inevitably have some rhetoric to explain in detail, even if this woman is lying at this time, Qian Chao now wants to hear what she will say next, and suddenly realized that since the woman entered her room, the two of them have still stood opposite each other and talked, Qian Chao waved his hand and said:

"Miss Chao, please sit down, and listen to you."

The two sat down across the table, and Qian Chao also went to fiddle with the tandoor for cooking tea, and heard Chao Zhu say:

"Don't you believe what I said?"

Qian Chao replied very frankly, he said:

"Hehe, don't hide it from Miss Chao, it's really hard to distinguish the truth from the fake, but I think Miss Chao still has something to say, since that's the case, then ask Miss Chao to tell me carefully."

"It's okay," Chao Zhu seemed to be very satisfied with what Qian Chao said, and she continued to speak, "My name is Chao Zhu, I was born in the Chao family in Ningzhou, and I am the second daughter of Chao Jing, the current head of the Chao family. ”

"Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, the Chao family in Ningzhou really hasn't heard of it." Qian Chao said apologetically.

"It's normal, Mr. Qian, the Chao family is also a family that has recently emerged, compared to those big families that have been established for a long time, the strength and scale of the Chao family are far inferior, in the cultivation world, the rise of a family is not so easy, does Mr. Qian know how my Chao family prospered and developed?"

The Chao family in Chao Zhu's mouth is a family that has risen recently, but Qian Chao understands that the so-called recent actually means that in the past hundred years, maybe it will be longer, and for the many families in the cultivation world, it is not easy to rise within a hundred years.

"This ...... I don't know even more. ”

Chao Zhu smiled, then slowed down his tone and said:

"The Jing Ji who was eliminated by you, his mother is surnamed Chao, she is a cousin of my father in the Chao family, and she is my cousin in terms of generation, she was in the early years of the Wuling Jing family, and later married into the Jing family, and the Chao family has nothing to do with the Jing family from the original to the children's family, and there is a marriage alliance, and the Chao family has gradually developed in Ningzhou with the help of the Jing family since then."

Hearing this, Qian Chao remembered that he seemed to have heard Tang Ping say that Jing Ji's mother was indeed surnamed Chao, but at that time, he cared, and if he looked at it this way, it seemed that this Chao Zhu at least did not lie in terms of identity, but then a question popped up in his heart......

Since Jing Ji's mother is Chao Zhu's cousin, then Jing Lu must have violated the oath made by the chief elder of the Jing clan in the council hall if he wanted to kill himself, so why didn't Chao Zhu tell her cousin about Jing Lu, but came to tell himself at night?

The subtle changes on Qian Chao's face were caught by Chao Zhu's keen gaze on the other side, and she said with a smile:

"I probably know what Mr. Qian is thinking, is Mr. Qian curious about this matter, why didn't I tell my cousin and let the elders of the Jing family solve it, but I quietly found Mr. Qian in the middle of the night to talk about it, right?"

Qian Chao said calmly:

"Exactly."

"Mr. Qian, there is naturally a reason for this, and it is more complicated."

"It's okay, it's quiet at this time, and I'm going to listen to it carefully."

Qian Chao said as he took the boiling teapot from the tandoor and filled it with the teapot in front of Chao Zhu.

……

Qian Chao's cooking of the spirit tea is naturally brought by Ruixuan Town Yi Ming Xuan, when the teapot is slightly boiling, the room is full of tea fragrance, Chao Zhu picked up the tea cup and took a sip and praised it brightly, and then held the tea cup and asked Qian Chaodao:

"Does Mr. Qian know what the Jing clan thinks of you and your four companions now?"

"I shouldn't have any good thoughts about Zaixia, Jing Wei is a person of the Jing family anyway, and the bad is in the hands of the five of us, I think there are many people who hate us in the Jing family, especially Miss Chao's cousin, her son was expelled from the sect because we were abolished and cultivated, I think it should be the most hated for us, right?"

"Well, that's true," Chao Zhu said, "My cousin almost hates the five of you, and naturally has murderous intentions towards you, but after Jing Jie's incident, my cousin and his wife were immediately severely reprimanded by the Jing elders, well, including the Jing Patriarch who came down from the Jade Pot Mountain, blaming them for not teaching their sons, and allowing Jing Jian to behave in the sect without discipline, which made him more and more emboldened, and eventually caused a catastrophe." It is true that as Mr. Qian thought, the elders of the Jing clan strictly ordered my cousin and his wife not to allow them to find trouble with the five of you later. Speaking of which, it seems that the incident ended with the disposal of Jing Ji, but this is far from the case in the world, and Jing has been hit and weakened a lot. Although I have not been in the Five Spirits Sect for a long time, I still have some understanding of the affairs of the five clans in the Five Spirits Sect, Jing, Huan, Feng, and Zhang. In addition, the council hall of the Five Spirits Sect has always been not at ease with these five clans, and they are wary of it everywhere, so after the incident of Jing Ji, it was a big blow to the Jing clan. Alas, Jing Jiqian shouldn't have colluded with the Tian family in Qizhou to kill you, the Tian family is a big problem for the Five Spirits Sect, and it shouldn't have been through the collusion between Jin Zhang of the Lion Forest and the surnamed Mu Yangzong to kill you, Mu Yangzong has always been hostile to the Five Spirits Sect, he must know this. The Tian family also has the Mu Yang Sect, both of which have committed the great taboo of the Five Spirits Sect. Qian Gongzi, no matter how strong the five clans of Zong, Jing, Huan, Feng, and Zhang are, they are just vines and grass attached to the big tree of the Five Spirits Sect, and losing the trust of the Five Spirits Sect must be a very bad thing for them, but Jing Ji has done all the things that can anger the Five Spirits Sect, so soon after disposing of Jing Jie, the Jing people in several key positions in the sect were quietly replaced, which is equivalent to weakening the authority of the Jing family in the Five Spirits Sect, which must be something that Qian Gongzi should be able to think of, right? ”

Qian Chao nodded, he could think of these things, but he didn't think about it after Jing Ji's matter, with the oath made by the chief elder of the Jing clan in the council hall, the five of Qian Chao thought they were safe, so they no longer paid attention to the Jing clan's people, and the five of them only felt that they would probably not deal with the Jing clan again from now on.

However, Chao Zhu's words made Qian Chao feel impressed by the woman in front of him, this woman is not simple, her words are not only clear and penetrating, the most important thing is that many things that should not be spread out have been said by Chao Zhu, such as Jing Ji's collusion with Mu Yangzong's Guisu through Jin Zhang, this matter has not been said to the public, so how did she know?

Then he listened to Chao Zhu continue:

"For the trouble caused by Jing Jie, most of the elders in the Jing clan think that they should be severely punished, but there is one point, Qian Gongzi, they think that even if Jing Jian has committed a mistake, even if he should be punished, it should be done by Jing's own people, not by the sect to punish him, as if for a long time, those children of the Zong, Jing, Huan, Feng, and Zhang five clans who are not successful, who have committed misdeeds in the sect and caused great disasters have not been severely punished by the sect, and they are all handed over to the five clans themselves, and Jing Jie's matter is a precedent, of course, This can also be seen as the deterrence of the Five Spirits Sect to the Five Clans, hehe, it's just the use of the five of you, well, of course, this has a lot to do with what Jing Ji did, but in the eyes of the Jing people, the biggest reason why Jing Ji has such a fate is still on the five of you, if it weren't for the arrangement of the five of you, even if Jing Ji is at fault, it should be dealt with by the Jing family himself, so in their opinion, Qian Gongzi and the five of you have broken the rules. ”

Qian Chao smiled after hearing this and said:

"I don't agree with that."

Chao Zhu also smiled and said:

"But the people of the Jing clan take it for granted, among the current Jing clan, there are many people who hate the five of you, but the older ones, including those who have already built the foundation, think that since they have made an oath, they can't move you again after that, otherwise the Jing clan will definitely be attacked by the oath, these people are quite rational, but those who are close to Jing Ji and are commensurate with brothers, they are very hostile to you, these people are the root seedlings of trouble, but they are suppressed by the elders, so they dare not make any moves."

Qian Chao's heart suddenly moved, and he asked:

"Miss Chao, you also said earlier that the Chao family was able to rise because of the help of the Jing family, so the Chao family must not have any good opinion of the five of us because of Jing Ji's fate, right?"

Hearing this, the smile on Chao Zhu's face disappeared, she looked at Qian Chao, and then said very seriously:

"Young Master Qian, contrary to what you said, almost everyone in the Chao family was very happy after knowing what happened to Jing Ji, especially the Chao family of my generation, they all thought that Jing Ji's fate was deserved, and some people even felt annoyed that they couldn't get rid of Jing Ji with their own hands, if there is any opinion of you, it is that the five of you have made them lose the opportunity to deal with Jing Ji with their own hands."

Hearing this, Qian Chao was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise:

"This ...... Why is that? ”

……

The excitement continues in the small valley under the moonlight.

Zhu Jiu was full of energy tonight, and told everyone all the secret anecdotes he knew about Jing, Huan, Feng, and Zhang Si's clans, mostly some filthy things or romantic affairs or absurd things, all of which could not be said clearly in front of people, and it was also thanks to Zhu Jiu's lack of attention to cultivation over the years but he had spent a lot of effort in inquiring about these things, and now it happened to be the appetite of these people, and they were either speechless or laughing one by one.

But no matter how Zhu Jiu agitated his lips and tongue, what he said had not been related to the women and secrets of the Five Spirits Sect, not that he didn't know, but that he didn't dare to say it, because the handsome man surnamed Shang who was sitting on the main seat of the crowd had just signed a marriage contract with a woman in the Zong clan under the auspices of the elders of both sides, so Zhu Jiu didn't dare to say anything about anything in the Zong clan, if it was transmitted to the ears of the Zong clan through this person's mouth, maybe one day he Zhu Jiu would disappear without realizing it.

But Zhu Jiu also thought too much, even if he deliberately didn't mention the things of the Zong family, but what he said had aroused the murderous intent of others, of course, it was not the people who sat in front of the fire and listened with great interest, as mentioned earlier, there were two people who quietly touched in the shadow of the mountain wall under the moonlight, and what Zhu Jiu said was heard by these two people, the identities of these two people are not ordinary, and those that Zhu Jiu said can neither see the light nor say in front of people, And the things that were strictly kept secret by the four clans but leaked out were the family affairs of these two people, so although they were silent, the hearts of these two people were murderous to Zhu Jiu and the children of these families sitting in front of the fire!
