Volume 1: Born to be a Hero Chapter 114: Wisdom in Urgency
In He Yi's original plan, he just wanted to use Zhao Han to lure some of the Zhao family's cultivators out first, so as to achieve the goal of weakening the Zhao family's strength.
But after Jiang Sheng took the initiative to come to surrender, he temporarily changed the plan and decided to raise the butcher knife to the Zhao family in advance.
Jiang Sheng's role is undoubtedly huge, so big that he can directly penetrate into the Zhao family, confuse its eyes and ears, cover its ears and eyes, and make it a caged and blind tiger.
In this way, He Yi can easily cut off the limbs of this "tiger" one by one.
"Uncle! Oh no, something is wrong! Open the door quickly! My nephew has an emergency that needs to be reported to you!" After Jiang Sheng returned to Zhao's house, he rushed to Zhao Jiang's practice room as soon as possible, and slammed the door vigorously, his face full of anxiety.
He knew that Zhao Jiang must be here......
Cultivators can use meditation instead of sleep, so usually, the night is spent in the practice room.
Not long ago, Zhao Jiang had just broken through his own realm, and the cultivation that could be forcibly improved by relying on spiritual property was not as stable and harmonious as that from penance.
Therefore, it will take a long time for him to stabilize his realm.
That is to say, at least for a few days, the other party must not suffer the slightest internal injury, or do something that consumes a lot of spiritual power, otherwise the cultivation will be rebellious, and the results of long-term penance will be ruined.
This is also the main reason why Zhao Jiang opposed Zhao Ye's rescue.
As for what Mrs. Zhao said about "avoiding the scheme", he actually didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Panic, what kind of system can become! What can happen in the middle of the night?" Zhao Jiang woke up from meditation, opened the door, and saw that it was Jiang Sheng, his brows suddenly furrowed, this Jiang family father and son, he was disgusted in his heart.
"Uncle, second uncle, he...... He carried you and the old lady behind his back, secretly took Chen Protector and You Protector, and went to the Shifeng Ancient Prison outside the county to save people! Look at ......" Jiang Sheng said worriedly.
"What? This Zhao Ye! Why didn't he even listen to the old man's words! That Taishou Mansion obviously set a trap, why did he take the initiative to jump inside?" Zhao Jiang frowned even more when he heard this, lingered at the door for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "How long have they been there?"
Jiang Sheng replied: "It has been nearly three hours since I went out at night. ”
Zhao Jiang hurriedly said: "Three hours, why are you only here to report now! Quick, hurry up and prepare a generous gift, I will personally go to the Taishou Mansion!"
Zhao Han had just been detained by the people of the Taishou Mansion, and the matter had not yet been resolved, if Zhao Ye and the two Dharma Protectors had any more mistakes, then their Zhao family would directly lose nearly half of their strength.
He can't afford it.
"I'm afraid this won't work...... Jiang Sheng shook his head and said, "Huyang City has issued a curfew, the city gate is closed, and we can't enter the city." It's better to inform the old man first, and let the old man make up his mind......"
While speaking, Jiang Sheng glanced up at Zhao Jiang, and hurriedly lowered his head, looking a little weak.
Guiding the topic to that most important node, Jiang Sheng was inevitably a little nervous, his task of returning to the Zhao family this time was to lure Zhao Jiang and Zhao Gu out of the Zhao family's old mansion without alarming the other five Zhao family protectors, and divide the remaining power of the Zhao family again.
At this time, Zhao Ye, Zhao Han and others were all dead, and Zhao Kai, Li Protector and others also temporarily remained neutral under the momentum created by He Yi.
Once Zhao Gu and Zhao Jiang can be lured out and cut off from the internal connection of the Zhao family, it will be tantamount to cutting the Zhao family into an empty shell.
Without the orders of the main leaders, the remaining five Zhao family protectors naturally did not dare to act rashly.
After all, they all joined the Zhao family for the sake of profit, once Zhao Gu and Zhao Jiang disappeared or even died, they had no need to work for the Zhao family anymore.
"Inform the old man?" Zhao Jiang was stunned at first, and then a pair of eyes locked on Jiang Sheng's face, as if he was suspicious of something.
"Why do you want to inform the old man?" Zhao Jiang said as he stared at Jiang Sheng.
"This ......," Jiang Sheng suddenly chuckled in his heart.
"Answer me!" Zhao Jiang said sharply.
"I ...... I'm just saying it casually. If the uncle doesn't want to inform the old man, then he won't not. Jiang Sheng saw the sweat in his palms, forced himself to be calm, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for being too anxious.
Now Zhao Jiang doesn't know the news of Zhao Ye's killing, but he just thinks that Zhao Ye went to the ancient prison to ask for someone, no matter whether he wants to come back or not, Zhao Ye will not be in any danger, let alone talk about life and death.
Because he didn't worry about what the Taishou Mansion would do to Zhao Ye, at best, it would be a while to detain it for a while, and then take the opportunity to pit a sum of money.
Therefore, Zhao Jiang does not have a sense of crisis now, and thinks that this is just a trivial matter.
But Jiang Sheng's words brought Zhao Jiang a sense of crisis......
After all, Zhao Jiang is now half the head of the Zhao family, and all the affairs of the family, no matter how big or small, are handled by Zhao Jiang first, unless there is a major matter related to life and death, Zhao Gu will come forward to solve it.
And Jiang Sheng directly asked him to inform Zhao Gu, which obviously gave people the appearance of "knowing some insiders".
"You are dishonest. Zhao Jiang's gaze still did not take away from Jiang Sheng's face, and his eyes became sharper and sharper, like a sharp knife, and he was forced against Jiang Sheng's throat.
He walked slowly into the practice room, turned his back to Jiang Sheng, who was standing at the door, and said coldly: "Sheng'er, you have been in my Zhao family for six years, and I, as an uncle, can I treat you half a bit......?"
With that, Zhao Jiang took down a gorgeous sword inlaid with jade and gold edges from the wall in the room, and pulled out half of it with a bang, and the sharp blade flashed with a cold cold glow.
Seeing that Zhao Jiang had a killing intent, the cold sweat on Jiang Sheng's forehead suddenly trickled down.
Is it over? No, it can't......
Jiang Sheng knew the importance of this mission, and he failed in one ring and lost all the games.
Jiang Sheng trembled all over, in this frightened cold, but it also made him anxious, and hurriedly knelt on the ground with a "poof", crying: "Okay, I said, I said! At nightfall today, the second uncle went to his father and said that Zhao Han was locked up by Huyang Taishou because he got the Yelang Heavenly Book! Uncle, think about it carefully, if it weren't for this, how could Huyang Taishou dare to go against the Zhao family?"
"They want to take advantage of the fact that you don't know the inside story, go and get the Book of Heaven first, and then go straight to the Qi Cultivation Sect
Present the Yelang Heavenly Book, when the time comes, as soon as the Qi Sect is happy, they will take the opportunity to ask for the head of the Zhao family, and the Qi Sect will definitely agree, at that time, let alone you, even if the old man comes forward in person, it will be impossible to take the Zhao family back!"
"Y-What did you say?!"
When Zhao Jiang heard this, his complexion really changed drastically, and his attention shifted from Jiang Sheng to the words Yelang Tianshu and Qi Sect.
If this is the case, then I am afraid that the position of the head of the Zhao family will never be his turn......
"Such a big thing, why are you only saying it now!" The more Zhao Jiang thought about it, the more angry he became, and he lifted Jiang Sheng up and asked sharply.
Jiang Sheng quietly glanced up at Zhao Jiang, and saw that his face was cloudy and uncertain, and his mind changed rapidly, so he added: "Uncle, you must know that the person who secretly plots with the second uncle is my biological father......! That's why I hesitated for so long. ”
Jiang Sheng said as he spoke, tears and snot flowing, although he was telling a lie, but he kept thinking about the humiliation he had suffered in the Zhao family in the past few years, and he was even more sad and angry, it looked very real, and he didn't pretend to be sad at all.
This made Zhao Jiang directly become a mute.
Thinking about it, it is also true that privately seeking to seize the position of the head of the family, this is in the family rules, it is necessary to abolish the cultivation of the whole body, and be punished with three knives and six holes, which is basically no different from direct killing.
And Jiang Sheng's ability to tell this matter is undoubtedly equivalent to sending his father to the execution table with his own hands, no matter who it is, he will have to carry out a difficult ideological struggle.
"It's a matter of life and death for the Zhao family, so my nephew wants to inform the old man as soon as possible, as for the disadvantage of the Zhao family behind his back, my nephew will never dare!" Jiang Sheng continued to cry.
This is indeed a matter of life and death, at least on the surface, once Zhao Ye gets the Book of Yelang Heaven...... For Zhao Jiang, it was tantamount to a catastrophe.
If Zhao Ye is still alive.
“......”
Zhao Jiang's eyes were closed, and he became more and more anxious.
It seems that he can only report to the old man, and he will decide this matter.
"Well, you're doing a great job. In the future, the Zhao family's property under your father's jurisdiction will be taken over by you. Zhao Jiang appeased Jiang Sheng, and hurried to the backyard.
After Zhao Jiang left, Jiang Sheng still knelt in place and cried.
It's just that in that cry, there is still a trace of joy for the rest of the life.
Although he had already opened his mind, before this, Jiang Sheng was still a pampered young master who had not experienced the catastrophe of life and death, and the moment Zhao Jiang drew his sword to him just now, he really thought that he would not be able to hold on.
Luckily, luckily......
Before returning to Zhao's house, He Yi asked Liao Qianzhong to bring him a sentence: The highest level of deception is to use countless truths to wrap a core falsehood, so that the fake becomes true.
Under the extreme nervousness, Jiang Sheng suddenly thought of what He Yi told him, so he tried to tell some irrelevant truths, that is, the matter that Zhao Ye talked to his father secretly, and it worked on the spot.
Big fish, finally hooked.
