Since Zhao Wugang served as the patriarch, the Zhao family has grown rapidly in both force and finance, and has become the largest family in Cangnan County from the lonely and unknown in the past.

In the Zhao family, even if he is just a servant, he is full of arrogance and thinks he is superior. But the arrival of the "peerless master" a few days ago made the people of the Zhao family clearly realize how ridiculous their so-called arrogance was.

More than 100 people in Zhuangzi were beaten by the master alone, and several branch heads headed by Zhao Qi were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The middle-aged woman who was responsible for taking care of Zhao Wuchang, named Liu Guixiang, was extremely honest and honest, and the other servants or guards in the village in the past looked down on her.

But since the arrival of the master, Liu Guixiang has to handle everything, so that everyone sees her as if she is a master, and they are very respectful to her, and they dare not be as casual as before, let alone chew their tongues behind her back and say bad things.

At first, those people nodded to her and said hello, Liu Guixiang was still a little unaccustomed, but after a few days, it was much more natural, so she was grateful to Zhao Ziming, and everything he explained was always done meticulously.

On this day, she went to the pharmacy to buy medicinal herbs as instructed, and when she returned to her lodgings, which was the dilapidated house, she saw that the door was closed, and waited outside the house with a basket. Before leaving, Zhao Ziming told her that she wanted to heal the third master, and she couldn't be disturbed in the slightest.

Half an hour passed, the door creaked open, Zhao Ziming came out tired, took the basket and checked the medicinal materials, handed it to Liu Guixiang, asked her to boil it, and entered the house by himself.

In the room, Zhao Wuchang was still lying on the bed, just with his eyes closed, in a coma, and many silver needles were densely inserted on his face and forehead.

These days, Zhao Ziming has figured out why the third uncle has become like this by asking Liu Guixiang and investigating the third uncle's illness.

It turned out that after the wolf tide more than two years ago, Zhao Wuchang thought that Zhao Ziming had lost his life, and thought that his eldest brother's bloodline had been cut off like this, and in a fit of anger, he actually went to Long Liying with a weapon in his hand to fight hard.

His martial arts skills were inferior to Long Liying, and the latter was angry with his recklessness, so he dealt extremely hard, simply abolished his martial arts, and threw him into the depths of this mansion, wanting to let him fend for himself.

After all, Zhao Wugang still remembered some brotherhood, pleaded with Long Liying, said good things, let her relieve her brother of the poison, and sent Liu Guixiang, the old man in the village, to take care of her.

Zhao Wuchang lost his martial arts, and he felt even more discouraged, and often went to the grave of his deceased eldest brother, that is, Zhao Ziming's father, to cry bitterly. Under such a long-term depression, one day I suddenly had a stroke, and half of my body was unconscious, and I could only lie in bed since then.

When people reach this point, the passage of life is much faster than ordinary people, so Zhao Wuchang is getting old and can't live long, if Zhao Ziming comes back later, he may not be able to see the last side of Zhao Wuchang.

Zhao Ziming's current medical skills can be called a national hand, but he can't restore Zhao Wuchang to his original appearance, so he can only use the method of internal strength cultivation with the technique of golden needles, coupled with the conditioning of drugs, and strive to cure his paralysis.

Of course, because of Zhao Ziming's return, Zhao Wuchang has hope to live again, no matter whether he can cure his physical ailment, his life will not be in any major trouble for the time being.

After a while, Liu Guixiang boiled the medicine and brought it into the house. Zhao Ziming took off the silver needles on Zhao Wuchang's head and face, relieved his sleeping hole, and gently called "Third Uncle" to wake him up.

Liu Guixiang helped Zhao Wuchang up, Zhao Ziming was holding a bowl to feed the medicine, a lot of busy, and when Zhao Wuchang fell asleep again, Zhao Ziming breathed a sigh of relief, according to the current situation, Zhao Wuchang's illness is very likely to be cured.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look outside the house, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he said to Liu Guixiang: "You guard the third uncle and don't go out, there are guests outside, and I will meet him later." ”

Besides, the fat man Zhao Qi, who gathered everyone from the Zhao family to besiege Zhao Ziming that day, was defeated, scared half to death, and didn't want Zhao Ziming to be embarrassed by him, so he just said coldly: "Don't take it as an example." He kowtowed like pounding garlic, and couldn't stop saying: "Thank you for the grace of the young man not to kill, thank you for the grace of the young man not to kill." ”

When he returned to his residence, he remembered that Zhao Ziming had knocked down more than 100 family members without much effort, and he shuddered and made up his mind not to provoke the other party again.

A few days later, Xiao Shunzi, who he sent to Nanshanzhai to ask Zhao Wugang for help, led a person back, and seeing this person, Zhao Qi's mind became active again.

This person's surname is Qi Minghu, and he is the man surnamed Qi next to Gao Cen on the Zhao family's big ship, and he is still an acquaintance with Zhao Ziming.

Zhao Qi knew that his martial arts were extraordinary, and his degree should not be much worse than that master, so he had the intention of borrowing a knife to kill people, and tried his best to pry Qi Hu, and reversed Zhao Ziming's actions and added fuel and vinegar.

Although Qi Hu is a martial artist, he can be entrusted by Zhao Wugang to the position of the chief guard of the Zhao family, so he is naturally not a stupid person. He knew that Zhao Qi and these people were really incapable, and only by relying on Zhao Wugang's might could they have today's rich and luxurious life.

If it weren't for that, Zhao Wugang wouldn't need to set up another village in the county, in order to avoid the interference of these clan relatives who only know pleasure, so as to establish a family business.

However, Qi Hu is a member of the Zhao family, and before leaving, Zhao Wugang had his own entrustment to him, no matter how true what Zhao Qi said, that unknown martial arts master came to the Zhao family to spread wildness, no matter what, he should not be spared.

Immediately let Zhao Qi lead the way, and the two of them walked to the broken house, and when they came to within five feet of the broken house, Qi Hu suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face was extremely calm.

Just now, he felt that he was being stared at by an invisible gaze, and as long as he took another step, he would definitely encounter great danger. He knew that this was the qi induction that a person who practiced martial arts would only produce when he encountered a great enemy.

The people in the house are extremely strong!

Zhao Ziming walked out of the door and saw Zhao Qi and Qi Hu who had stopped, he was stunned, and said to the latter with his fists: "Brother Qi, meet again." ”

Qi Hu was like eating Coptis chinensis at this time, and he was bitter to the heart. He originally expected that the masters in the mouths of Zhao Qi and others would definitely not be much stronger, and with his eighth-layer internal force cultivation, he could easily settle it. But the person in front of him is really a master, a master who can't be matched by himself!

He replied unnaturally: "It turned out to be Brother Qian, what a coincidence." After speaking, he gave Zhao Qi, who was beside him a look that he wanted to stop talking, and signaled him not to speak.

Of course, Zhao Ziming saw Zhao Qi, and suddenly remembered another incident in his heart, was silent, and said slowly: "I want to ask Brother Qi about it, I don't know if Brother Qi can know Zhao Wugang?"

Qi Hu replied: "It's the owner of the next family." ”

Zhao Ziming's heart sank, and after breaking up with Zhao Zishuang, he guessed whether the Zhao brothers and sisters were Zhao Wugang's children, that is, his cousins. It's just that I don't want to accept this result in my heart, so I didn't think about it subconsciously, but now it seems that this is the truth.

In this way, the doubts in his heart at the beginning, why he and the Zhao family brothers and sisters have known each other for a short time, but they feel inexplicably cordial, and they have the answer. But he is destined to seek revenge on Zhao Wugang and Long Liying, how will he face Zhao Zishuang and Zhao Zijun then?

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Ziming was a little upset and threw these messy thoughts aside. Since creation makes people, and we see how far we can get it, anyway, we have to face it sooner or later, and it is useless to think about it.

He looked at Qi Hu and said, "The younger brother has long admired the name of the second master Zhao and wants to worship him, I heard that he moved to Nanshanzhai, and the younger brother doesn't know the road, can you ask Brother Qi to introduce him on his behalf?"

Qi Hu wanted to refuse, but when he heard the undoubted tone in Zhao Ziming's tone, he had to smile and nod, "It's a trivial matter, and you should serve yourself." ”

......

Nanshanzhai is located on the top of Nanshan, the highest peak in Cangnan County, sandwiched between the traffic arteries of various counties, the geographical location is wonderful, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the place where bandits are entrenched since ancient times.

More than 10 years ago, today's Nanshan Cottage owner Long Ba, holding a 200-pound mountain opening axe, went into the mountain alone, subdued the group of thieves, and took root here.

Long Ba has a younger sister named Long Liying, who is witty and clever and knows how to strategize. Since her brother founded Nanshanzhai, she has made suggestions and even established relations with the governments of several surrounding counties, and since then she has been engaged in collusion between officials and bandits.

However, whenever a caravan passes through here, it must pay a large amount of "customs clearance fee" to the southern cottage, otherwise it will be robbed and killed by "mountain bandits".

The people know that those so-called "mountain bandits" are all people in the village, and some businessmen who think that they have some background do not abide by the "rules" and are robbed of their goods.

And those county orders have to accept a lot of "filial piety" from Nanshanzhai in a year, so instead of being sympathetic to the people's feelings and eliminating harm for the people, they arrest the person who sues the official, sentence him to the crime of slandering others and disturbing the people's heart, and lock him up for ten days and a half months, and he has to spend a lot of money to ransom people.

Over time, there will be no such "wronged bosses" to sue, so the payment of "customs clearance fees" has become the default law of several counties.

With this convenience, in the past ten years, Long Ba has not known how much money he has accumulated. He also made a wide range of friends, black and white, everywhere.

Someone asked him to borrow money to spend, but he didn't say a word, dozens of taels or hundreds of taels, and he gave as much as he wanted, and he didn't care if he didn't pay it back, so he won a good reputation of "righteousness and thin clouds" in the rivers and lakes.

Half a month ago, three people came to the mountain gate and were about to go up the mountain. The gatekeeper stopped them and asked for their names and what they were doing here. This was a very reasonable thing to do, but the three men ignored it and went straight up the mountain.

A gatekeeper caught up with him, and before he could speak, one of the three men looked impatient, flicked his sleeve, and swept the gatekeeper down the stone steps, and the man vomited blood and died.

When the other gatekeepers saw this, they were so frightened that they dared to stop them.

The three of them walked very fast, and after a while, they arrived outside the main hall in the village.
