Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon Chapter 17 The Rise of the Zhao Family (3)
When Qin Yu and the others returned to Zhao's house, it was already close to midnight.
A group of samurai dressed in black robes and carrying sharp blades at their waists were guarding the front of the courtyard. The samurai at the head had a square face, two swords hanging from his waist, and his aura was thick and sharp, and he stood there like a heavy sword of black iron standing in front of him.
"Humble Zhao Wu, I've seen Qin Gongzi!"
Qin Yu saw that he was doing a military salute, his eyes couldn't help but stare at him, he arched his hand, and said, "General Zhao, what is this?"
Zhao Wu hugged his fists and said loudly: "On the orders of the old marshal, come to protect the son." ”
"Old handsome?"
Qin Yu thought about it for a while, and understood that the old handsome in this person's mouth should be the ancestor of the Zhao family.
"Why does the ancestor of the Zhao family want to be like this......?
The more Qin Yu pondered, the more he felt that the Zhao family was afraid that something big was about to happen. His identity was not correct at this time, and it was not easy to meddle in it, so after a few words with Zhao Wu, he led people into the small courtyard.
Qin Yu asked Chu Ye'er and Zhao Xiaoli to rest first, and he went up to the second floor alone.
"Autumn girl?"
"I'm here!"
After Qiu Mei'er's figure appeared, Qin Yu asked, "These people in front of the door, have Miss Qiu seen the clues?"
"You mean ......"
Qiu Mei'er raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Are these people weird?"
Qin Yu nodded, "These people don't have true yuan circulation, but they are powerful, I don't know why?"
"Hey!"
As soon as Qin Yu's words fell, the Shadow Killing Hall Elder in the shadows smiled proudly and said, "These people have cultivated the Killing Martial Dao, and it is normal that there is no True Yuan on their bodies. ”
"Killing Martial Arts?"
Qin Yu's eyes froze, and he was about to continue to ask questions, when the secret elder had already opened his mouth to explain: "My generation's Xuan Xiu is the inner essence and spirit, paying attention to the dantian as the earth, the Tao as the root, and the spiritual qi as water. And killing martial arts cultivation, but what he cultivates is the external muscles and bones, the pursuit of building a city with a naked heart, the blood is the way, and the evil qi is turned into energy. This kind of martial arts cultivation, cultivated in an ordinary place, is already a body of copper skin and iron bones, invulnerable to water and fire, invulnerable, and infinitely powerful, and extremely agile. And the high depths of the cultivation path, after attracting the power of the stars to cleanse the body, he can even break the mountains with one finger and slash the sky with a sword. ”
"That's amazing!"
Qin Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. When he was in the mortal world, he had also seen martial arts cultivators, most of them were just rough skin and thick flesh, and their strength was infinite, but he never thought that martial arts cultivation could have such power in the highest depths.
"What's the use of being awesome!"
The old man in the dark sighed leisurely and continued: "After the ancient catastrophe, the heavenly machine suddenly changed, and I waited for Xuan Xiu to be fortunate enough to make a powerful move, and I was able to connect the heavens and the earth universe with the Dao species. However, Wu Xiu's path to the stars was completely cut off, and there was no possibility of stepping into the realm of gods. ”
"It's the Ancient Calamity again!"
Qin Yu's heart sank, and he faintly felt that there seemed to be a big mystery in it. It's just that he knew that his cultivation was limited, and it was useless to think about it, so he asked instead: "How is the strength of these martial arts cultivators in front of me?"
"They are all great martial artists, with a body of steel and iron bones, infinite strength, a strong body, and a strength comparable to that of Xuanguang Realm. ”
Qin Yu nodded when he heard this, and another doubt arose in his heart, and he continued to ask: "The seniors said that they use evil qi as energy, why can't I feel it?"
"Hey, these warriors can cultivate the killing martial arts to the fullest, and the number of people they have killed must be thousands. You can't feel it, it's because these people haven't killed for a long time, and the evil aura in their bodies is completely restrained. The old man can conclude that these people have not been born to kill people for at least hundreds of years. ”
"Hundreds of years again!"
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and said secretly: "Three hundred years ago, it was the time when the head of my Xuanyuan Sect was changing. And these people just extinguished the sword soldiers after that, doesn't that mean that there were still sword soldiers in the process of changing heads three hundred years ago. ”
He suddenly came to his senses and continued to think: "Yes, the position of the head of the family has been passed down in the hands of the Bai family for three generations, and there is no reason to give it up, which must be after a bloody battle, and finally the Bai family is defeated by the three families and six surnames headed by the current head, which will cause the current situation." It's just that since these three families and six surnames have defeated the Bai family, why don't they choose to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to leave such a scourge? Why are the old ancestors and the old men of the Bai family bound by the oath and no longer interfere in the dispute between their children? And what is the plan of the old ancestor to recall these warriors today?"
Seeing Qin Yu frowning there, the old assassin man smiled, "Hehe", and gloated: "Boy, now you know how deep the Zhao family's troubled waters are, right?"
Qin Yu subconsciously glanced at the old man, but only looked at the air. He shook his head with a serious expression and said, "Although this muddy water is deep, it is much simpler than I imagined. ”
"Hey!"
The old man sneered and said, "The old man found out that if you don't brag, you kid will really die!"
Qin Yu just shook his head when he heard this, and then stopped talking.
On the second day, Qin Yu was still deducing Yanwen during the day. In the evening, someone from the Zhao family brought food, but this time it was not poisoned. Qin Yu asked Chu Ye'er and Zhao Xiaoli to stay in the courtyard to eat and rest. He himself took some of the Zhao family warriors to Tianbi Valley, and did not return until the early morning of the next day.
For several days in a row, Qin Yu was like this, deducing Yanwen during the day and going to Tianbi Valley at night. The other three killers of the Shadow Killing Hall were also in place one by one, and Qin Yu finally didn't have to worry about his own safety. On this day, he was deducing Yanwen in the room, and Zhao Hongxiang suddenly asked to see him outside the door.
"Red makeup is going out to take over Lanyue Tower today, and I have come to say goodbye to Qin Gongzi. ”
Qin Yu's mind moved when he heard this, and he asked, "The Pavilion Master went to Lanyue Tower, what should I do about the Star Picking Pavilion?"
Zhao Hongxiang smiled bitterly and said, "The ancestor has already ordered that Zhao Jian take over the Star Pavilion." ”
"Old Ancestor is acting like this, does he intend to clean up the portal?"
Thinking of this, Qin Yu couldn't help but sigh and continued to ask, "Then are there any other changes in the Zhao family?"
Zhao Hongxiang thought for a moment, then nodded, and said, "There are also Wu Pavilion, Jing Pavilion and Dan Pavilion have also changed pavilion masters. ”
After she finished speaking, she gritted her teeth and whispered, "Red Makeup came this time, and I want to ask Qin Gongzi for something." ”
Qin Yu saw Zhao Hong's makeup like this, how could she not know what she was thinking, and directly refused: "Miss Zhao came to ask Qin, it is better to persuade those people and let them settle down a little." ”
"But ......"
Zhao Hong's face was bitter, and tears were already shining in his eyes, and he said, "If Hongxiang can persuade them, how can he pull down his face and beg Gongzi Qin." ”
Qin Yu saw that she was a wise and resolute woman, but she was forced to come here by her uncle, and she was also full of emotion in her heart. He hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed helplessly, and said: "Miss Zhao should know that now there are rich wolves eyeing the outside of the Zhao family, and there are clansmen with two ambitions inside, which can be described as internal and external troubles, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of the destruction of the clan." Although Lao Zu's move was not personal, it was also for the sake of the overall situation. ”
Seeing that his tone softened, Zhao Hongxiang hurriedly nodded and said, "Hongxiang is not an unreasonable person, otherwise he would not have listened to the Ancestor's command to hold Lanyue Tower in his hand." Red makeup came to beg Qin Gongzi, not because he wanted the ancestor to settle down, but because he hoped that after this matter subsided, my Zhao family's children would be able to have less fratricidal misery. ”
"Cannibalism, Ancestor wouldn't be like this, right?"
Seeing that Qin Yu's expression seemed to be in disbelief, Zhao Hongxiang smiled bitterly and said, "Childe, I don't know, your uncles have quarreled with the ancestor several times in the past few days, and the ancestor has already threatened to get rid of all the uncles. ”
Zhao Hongxiang said, and made the past discord between his uncle and his ancestor clear. Qin Yu couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and said secretly: "This Zhao family is strange, an ancestor has a violent temperament, he only knows how to stab and kill people, and he doesn't know how to run the family at all." A group of heirs are greedy for enjoyment, and they only think about buying and selling to make money. ”
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart, and said secretly: "The ancestor has such a temperament, but he treats me with sincerity, I should save him from this trouble." ”
After Qin Yu finished thinking about it, he raised his head and stood there with Zhao Hong's makeup, his expression was solemn, and he said, "Qin can agree to this matter." It's just that before that, Qin needs to ask clearly, if someone wants to hold her identity hostage in the future, what will happen to the girl?"
Zhao Hongxiang saw that he was clearly going to promise himself, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "Red makeup is naturally based on the ancestor and the son. ”
Seeing her answer like this, Qin Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Girl, don't worry, Qin will save the Zhao family from this trouble." ”
Zhao Hongxiang looked happy when she heard this, so she said goodbye and left in a hurry.
