Chapter Seventy-Four: Misfortune Doesn't Go Alone
The twenty-zhang cave is indeed not shallow for ordinary people, but for cultivators, it is a matter between several ups and downs, Zhao Xifeng climbed out of the cave with three times and five divided by two, and did not encounter any seals during the period, it is very likely that after he reached the desired period, the seal was naturally lifted, but it is more likely that Zhong Li deliberately deceived Zhao Xifeng in the first place.
Stinky girl!Zhao Xifeng scolded in his heart.
Outside the entrance of the cave, several Imperial Sect officials were standing at the door of the Drum Tower, excitedly discussing the wonders of the starlight just now, and suddenly saw Zhao Xifeng crawl out, with a strange look on his face.
"Zhao Gongzi, you finally came out?" one of them, who was familiar with Zhao Xifeng on duty, smiled at Zhao Xifeng with a complicated expression.
Zhao Xifeng greeted warmly: "Brother Zhang, I've been working hard these days." ”
Brother Zhang nodded and said with a smile: "You're welcome, it seems that Zhao Gongzi has finally broken through the agreement, congratulations." ”
"Where, I didn't expect to stay in it for so long, and my body stinks. Zhao Xifeng stretched out his arm, smelled the smell on his clothes, and said in disgust.
"But isn't it," the officer surnamed Zhang echoed, "Originally, according to the original Miss's plan, you would be able to get out of the customs in about three months, but I didn't expect it to last for more than a year, but looking at Zhao Gongzi's temperament, it can be regarded as a lot of gains, and these four hundred days of hard work have not been in vain." ”
"One year! You mean I've been in this cave for a year?" Zhao Xifeng was taken aback, almost not believing his ears, and shouted as he grabbed the other party's shirt.
The little brother surnamed Zhang wanted to break free of Zhao Xifeng's hands, but he found that the strength of Zhao Xifeng's hands was as heavy as a mountain, no matter how much he exercised, it was useless, and he could see that this young man surnamed Zhao had not used his cultivation at all!
How could this kid have such a strong physical strength, and he was not one of those ascetic monks of the Buddhist Sect! Zhang Zhiqin thought in his heart, but on the surface he still remained silent, pretending that he was disdainful of breaking free, and said with a forced smile: "Childe, you don't know it yourself? It's not just a year, today is the ninth day of October in the twenty-sixth year of Hong Xiu, and it's been a year and a month since you entered the cave!"
Zhao Xifeng was dumbfounded, could it be that he missed the second study test initiated by himself during the retreat? So he asked Zhang Zhiqin again, "What about Zhong Liren?"
"The princess is out there, deal with... Something. Zhang Zhichen remembered the things related to Zhao Xifeng that happened in the town this year, and his expression became even more complicated, "Why don't you go home and take a look first?"
Zhao Xifeng, who had just recovered from shocking Zhong, did not notice the abnormality of the other party's expression, nodded embarrassedly and smiled: "Brother Zhang, I'm sorry, then I'll go first, please tell Zhong Jiaoxi." ”
The two nodded goodbye.
Out of the drum tower, Zhao Xifeng stood on the street, squinting his eyes and enjoying a long-lost sunshine, and when he was about to go home, he saw Dong Erfat with a solemn expression and a hurried expression, so he stepped forward and grabbed him and asked, "Fatty, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Who knew that Dong Erfat didn't say a word and punched over, and he actually used Zhenyuan!
Zhao Xifeng laughed angrily, and while reaching out to block this heavy punch, he shouted, "What are you crazy about!"
Only then did Dong Erpang see clearly that the "beggar" in front of him with broken hair and a stinky body turned out to be Zhao Xifeng, who had been missing for more than a year!
"What's that," Zhao Xifeng said with a smile, "Haven't you heard what Sect Secretary Zhou said, those great masters who live in seclusion in the mountains have been in retreat for decades at a time, and I happened to watch the stars at night and glimpse the avenue of immortality, so I naturally need to retreat and retreat." ”
Dong Erpang said disdainfully: "What's the matter, Zhong Jiaoxi told us about Juyuan Cave, you were obviously beaten by Jiaoxi and couldn't take care of yourself, so you went into the cave to recuperate." ”
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and after joking for a while, Zhao Xifeng asked, "Just now you said that the town is not peaceful and there are assassins, what's going on?"
Speaking of this, Dong Erpang also put away his joking look, and said with a slightly worried look in his eyebrows: "You don't know yet, not long after you retreated, the organization that assassinated you in the first place started to act again! This time, their target is all the students of the Panlong Academy! Even if it is just a student who has never practiced in the ordinary inner courtyard, they will not let it go!" The ordinary classes in the school have been suspended, everyone is in danger, there are already three people who have been murdered, Chang Gu and Chang Pan two brothers were also seriously injured half a year ago, and they have been recuperating at home so far, and just yesterday, Han Xiao was stabbed twice in the back on the way from school, if Qingyuan hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the person would have been gone! I'm just rushing to see him. ”
Zhao Xifeng sneered and said: "I didn't go to them, but they took the initiative to find me, before the retreat, this trouble should be solved first, don't worry, who are these killers, where is the nest, I know in my heart." ”
Dong Erpang perked up and asked: "Can you really be sure where those killers are? If that's the case, then it's easy to do, these thieves are all ordinary people, not a single cultivator, it's just that with some chickens and dogs and thieves, people can't guard against it, and there is no combat power at all in a head-to-head confrontation, if I let me know their lair, the fat man will wash them in blood alone!"
"Don't keep thinking about fighting and killing," Zhao Xifeng stretched out his hand and knocked on Dong Er's fat head, "We are all only thirteen or fourteen-year-old students, such a heavy evil qi is not good for the cultivation of the state of mind, professional things are left to professional people to do, you should be Uncle Mu Tie They are eating idle meals, go, first accompany me home to change clothes, and then go to Han Xiao's house together." ”
Dong Erpang agreed, but there were waves in his heart, when Zhao Xifeng reached out and knocked him on the forehead just now, he instinctively wanted to dodge, but he couldn't keep up with the other party's speed at all!
The two walked towards Zhao Xifeng's house for a long time, Dong Erpang suddenly remembered something, hesitated to stop in front of Zhao Xifeng, and said to him: "Fengzi, you'd better not go home first." ”
Zhao Xifeng said: "Why, I have practiced for a year, and I have achieved great success, but now I can't even go home?"
"Your Daddy... Something happened," Dong Erfat said, "It is said that the incident committed more than ten years ago was turned over by the new yamen in the town now, and now Uncle Zhao Wu has been arrested by Liu Hanzhi and entered the Political Division, and it has been two months." ”
Zhao Xifeng was furious: "Fart! What is the character of my father, no one in the town knows? What kind of big crime can he commit!
"I heard that it was an affair with a foreign enemy and a plot to kill the princess of the royal family. Dong Erpang replied softly.
For a while, it was full of calm and quiet.
"Then I'm going to take a look!" Zhao Xifeng's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said.
"Kaede..."
Dong Erpang stretched out his hand and stopped in front of Zhao Xifeng, wanting to stop Zhao Xifeng from moving forward, but seeing Zhao Xifeng's eyes that almost wanted to eat people, he let go of the way.
At this moment, a large upright hand pressed on Zhao Xifeng's shoulder, and Zhao Xifeng looked back viciously.
Zhou Zhe's slightly tired and handsome face appeared in front of Zhao Dong and the others.
