The new head of the Zhao family, in his own house, among more than 100 guards, was killed?

Almost at the same time, the local chief and deputy orders were all seriously ill?

"It's hard to say whether you're seriously injured or seriously ill. ”

Zhuang Jing pondered for a moment and said: "When you first arrived, did you encounter such a thing? This person dares to make a move against the canonized court officials of the Great Chu Dynasty, it is really bold, but there is still room for it, but he is only injured, and he does not dare to kill ......."

"Childe has a clue?" Yue Ting was stunned, but he had always known that Childe was quick to think, and it was not an accident.

"This place is vast and prosperous, compared to the Jiangdi, there is no more, the official order in the hands of the local Zhengling is presumably stronger than the Jiangdi Zhengling, and under the Jindan, it will definitely be controlled by him. Zhuang Ming said.

"In other words, today's assassin is for Jindan Zhenren?" Lu He said in a low voice.

"Assassin, if there is no accident, he will swagger and kill the Zhao family......" Zhuang Ming replied in a flat tone.

"The rumors are true. Lu He said: "Within the Zhao family, there are two martial arts masters, both of whom are martial arts triples, and they were not able to block them, and they were easily killed by the other party...... This person entered the Zhao family, turned back and came out, and after only a moment, he walked away. ”

"Easily killed?" Zhuang Ming looked at Lu He and said, "You are already considered to be the top among the grandmaster-level martial artists, and when you reach the peak level of secular martial artists, with your ability, can you break into the Zhao family, among the hundreds of elite guards, easily kill the two great grandmasters, and behead the new head of the Zhao family?"

"It's not easy to ......" Lu He said in a low voice: "To kill the two great grandmasters, and in the face of hundreds of guards, I heard that the new head of the Zhao family is not an ordinary person, I am not sure, maybe I will fight hard, there is hope to do it, but I will definitely be injured, let alone complete this move in a moment, and leave." ”

"To be much stronger than you, the person who comes must be a real person of the Jindan level. Zhuang Ming said slowly: "The person who came must know the people behind the Zhao family, and he still dares to knock on the door, he must feel that he is better than the real person behind the Zhao family, and he himself can defeat the local Zhengling, which also proves that he is indeed powerful." ”

"Could it be that you are here for Chi Yanzhi?" Lu He and Yue Ting both glanced at each other.

"If it's not for revenge, it's probably for Chi Yanzhi. Zhuang thought for a moment and asked, "Where are the people going?"

"The Seventh Mansion of the Southern Yuan Realm. Lu Hedao.

"Seventh Mansion?" Zhuang Ming closed his eyes slightly, and then asked: "From the Fifth Mansion, to the direction of the Sixth Mansion, is it similar to the Seventh Mansion?"

"How does Childe know?" Yue Ting said in surprise.

"Is there a place over there, which is more special?" Zhuang Ming did not answer, but asked again.

"Indeed, there is a place called the Peaceful Realm, which is not included in any of the provinces. Yue Ting nodded busily, his face still surprised.

"Childe thinks ......" Lu He said slowly, "That's where the bazaar is?"

"Those who sit in the bazaar, their official positions are not lower than those of the Palm Seal Mansion of the First Prefecture. Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "If the place where the bazaar is located is in the territory of Yifu, then the palm seal mansion is higher, or is it the person who controls the bazaar, and the official position is higher? The Great Chu Dynasty has been established for many years, and it will definitely be considered, I just speculate......

"In this way, it is very likely that this person came from the bazaar, and when he heard the news that Chi Yanzhi was in the Zhao family, he followed him and wanted to snatch it, but he didn't expect that he had already given it to King Jing?"

"That's about it. ”

Zhuang Ming said: "How is it, let's go and find out." ”

——

Afternoon.

Lu He and Yue Ting, who went out to investigate, returned here.

"How?"

"I haven't found too much, but there is a living mouth, early this morning, the person who broke into the Zhao family was as skinny as wood, but eight feet tall, like a dry corpse. ”

Yue Ting said: "However, when the Zhao family provoked King Jing, there was an old man in the family, and the entire Zhao family was extremely respectful. ”

"That should be the real person behind the Zhao family. ”

"It should be. Zhuang Ming nodded slightly, and said: "I wanted to go to the government and find out the news, but now it seems that there is no need." ”

"Childe wants to go to the bazaar?" Lu He immediately understood.

"I've always been curious about the bazaar, and of course, I'm not sure that it must be a bazaar. Zhuang Ming smiled: "However, whether it is a bazaar or not, the Anxian Domain, which exists at the boundary of the Three Prefectures but has not been assigned to the Three Mansions, is also worth a trip to see what business opportunities there are." ”

"Childe is going to the bazaar, can the two of us go?" Lu He asked.

"No, you have to stay, stabilize the situation for me, and lay the foundation. ”

Zhuang Ming shook his head slightly, reached into his arms, took out a lot of paper, and wrote it all over the text.

"This is my and Fu Lao's plans for this business, I should have done it myself, but now the situation here is more relaxed than I expected, there is no such crisis, it is not difficult to set the foundation, with the ability of the two of you, it is enough to settle it. ”

"Lu He, you have great courage and high vision, and you can act on my behalf. Yue Ting is familiar with this, and he also has contacts with the local manpower, so he can help you. ”

"How can I do it?" Lu Hebu replied.

"You have always been good at your skills, not only by force, but also by all kinds of skills, but when you reach the Great Chu Dynasty, without the connections of the Dongsheng Dynasty, it will be difficult to move an inch?" Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "In the future, we will expand to all directions, and every time we go to a new place and open up a new business, we need to face such a situation, and you will definitely be entrusted with important tasks, and you must also hone it." ”

"But Gongzi ......" Lu He still hesitated.

"Accompanied by the Dragon Monarch, what other danger can there be?" Zhuang Ming paused and said, "The brother who was killed by mistake, if he still has a family, he will have a good time, and the rumors have passed, so he will secretly give him a stroke...... Although he died unjustly and suffered an unjustified disaster, he did things for us after all. ”

"Yes, I'll do it myself. Lu He Shili said: "Childe must take care." ”

"It doesn't matter. Zhuang Ming waved his hand.

"Can you send a few servants for you to drive on the road?" Yue Ting approached, full of thoughtfulness.

"No need, am I still as inconvenient as before?" Zhuang Ming glanced at him.

"......" Yue Ting always felt that this sycophant was like a slap on the horse's leg.

——

This is more than 2,000 miles away.

Zhuang Ming was supposed to control the dragon, and before sunset, he rushed to the peaceful domain.

But after a thought, I finally gave up and rode away in a carriage.

It will take about ten days to go here.

"Now that the reputation is outside, with the square land of the eighth mansion of the Eastern Yuan Realm as the center, I am afraid that there are cultivators gathered everywhere around, maybe there are cultivators in front of me, I am not in a hurry, then I will walk slowly and watch this great Chu River and mountain. ”

Zhuang Ming didn't want to help the old man of the Zhao family chase down the tall and thin-faced real person, it didn't hurt to be slower on the road, not to mention, the other party had been driving away for a long time, and it was not easy to catch up if he really wanted to chase and kill.

The reason why he left today was that he was really curious about the bazaar, and secondly, he was also ready to take the situation here as a test for Lu He, which was actually a grind.

On this day, he personally drove the carriage along the official road.

This line, in the blink of an eye, was dull and bland, and two days passed.

The territory of Great Chu is vast, and the breadth of only one province makes it difficult for real people of the Jindan level to manage.

Even if it's just one place, it's comparable to the Huai'an Mansion of the Dongsheng Dynasty.

But although the area is vast, there are many cities, and around the city, there are many small towns, or rural villages, through the official road, you can see that there are many towns and villages, and they go away until the next city.

As a result, there are many people, but there are few rogues who block the road and rob the road.

But less is less, but it is not nothing.

Some people feel desperate and fall into the grass.

Some people even just think that blocking the road and killing people will make money faster, save daily hard work, and earn wages.

And there are some people who simply kill for fun.

There are also some people who are only temporary, or they are malicious because of wealth, or they have evil thoughts when they see a beautiful woman among the travelers.

If it's just ordinary people, it's fine, and the harm won't be too great, but in the Great Chu Dynasty, there are cultivators and martial arts practitioners, and these people may not be upright...... For example, the group of rogues who got the crown hat of King Jing were in trouble.

"In the past two days, the official road has been quite populated along the way, but there are barren mountains and mountains ahead, and there may be hidden bandits. ”

Zhuang Ming has no good feelings for the thieves who block the road and rob, and he is no stranger.

Because his trading houses, whether in the Dongsheng Dynasty or the Great Chu Dynasty, have been robbed of goods.

Of course, since he started business, anyone who robbed him of his goods basically ended up with nothing.

——

In a small town along the way, Zhuang Ming rested for a long time, found a restaurant, added some good dishes, and prepared some dry food before returning to the road.

Only, when he retrieved the carriage and was about to leave.

But I saw a few young men from the restaurant, who were quite concerned about his carriage.

If Zhuang Ming had eaten more slowly, perhaps this carriage would have been gone.

Outsiders, even if they report to the authorities, are often not done.

"They are all ordinary people, and being able to be a buddy in a restaurant can be regarded as diligent and down-to-earth, but if they are greedy together, they are thieves. ”

Zhuang Ming looked as usual, got into the carriage, drove the horse, and slowly left the town.

If you guess right, those guys are probably going to be robbed halfway.

However, there was still no movement after leaving the town for about a stick of incense.

This surprised Zhuang Ming.

But after another stick of incense, Zhuang Ming was not surprised.

Because someone caught up.

"This friend, when you go out, you still have to be wary. ”

Suddenly, a voice came from Zhuang Ming's left.

Zhuang Ming had already sensed it, and even he heard the sound of horses' hooves, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and turned his head to look.

There was a horse that came up from behind, and only then slowed down, keeping pace with the horse he was pulling the cart on.

And the people on the horse, about in their early forties, are middle-aged and energetic.

"Do you have any advice?" Zhuang Ming tilted his head and said with a smile.
