Zhao Xueqing frowned slightly, what kind of fox can actually "speak" human words and hurt the grandmaster, is that still a fox, it should be a monster.

But is there a monster in the country? There are indeed legends of monsters among the people, but no one has ever seen them, and some are only legends left over from the past and news after tea that catch the wind and catch shadows. Warriors do not believe in ghosts and gods, do not believe in demons, and believe that power is in their own hands.

Great Xia is a world controlled by warriors. But if what the master said is true, then there are really monsters in this world? No, even if there are monsters, this world is still controlled by martial artists, otherwise why don't monsters appear.

Zhao Xingsheng's words caused a significant shock to Zhao Xueqing, the genius of the Zhao family, and she was stunned for a moment and became silent.

Zhao Xingsheng continued: "But it didn't kill me either, but the Grandmaster couldn't climb anymore. ”

At this time, the patriarch Zhao Tianyan walked in, and when he walked in, he had already heard this conversation, and he said sadly: "Now the situation is getting more and more chaotic, if there is no grandmaster to suppress the formation, some forces will interfere in our Liangzhou." ”

Zhao Xingsheng smiled bitterly: "I can only continue to pretend." ”

Zhao Tianyan bowed and said, "Hard work Lord Xingsheng, this is something that has to be done." He paused and continued, "The top priority now is to get through this difficult period in order to wait for a new Grandmaster to emerge in our Zhao family. ”

Zhao Xingsheng sighed and said, "The difficulty of the Grandmaster, it's not that you haven't tried it!"

Patriarch Zhao Tianyan was silent, and after a long time, he asked, "Lord Xing Sheng, do you think that we old guys with eight or nine tricks still have any hope of success?"

Zhao Xingsheng sneered and sneered, he didn't bother to answer.

Patriarch Zhao Tianyan still looked at Zhao Xingsheng sincerely, and Zhao Xingsheng had no choice but to explain: "You are all past your peak, although your strength has not weakened, but in fact, the essence of life is continuing to decline. ”

"For example, a warrior's body is like a water tank, with a water inlet and a water outlet, the water inlet is the energy that the warrior ingests from food, and the water outlet is the strength that the warrior can exert. When a person is young, the water inlet hole is larger than the water outlet hole, and the water level of the water tank is constantly rising, and when people reach middle age, the water entering is equivalent to the water discharged, and after the peak, although the water outlet remains the same, the water inlet becomes smaller. ”

After hearing this, the patriarch Zhao Tianyan also sighed and said, "Then we can only wait for the next generation." I don't know how many years it will take?"

Zhao Xingsheng nodded and said, "It can only depend on their chance and will." ”

............

Liangzhou, Dongyang County, Longmen Town, a simple wharf.

Here is 500 miles away from the south of Liangzhou Prefecture, Longmen Town is not abundant, because there are big cities before and after, so there are not many ships docked at the wharf here.

But today, three five-masted ships docked, and after they landed, many warriors and people of honorable status disembarked from the ships.

It was the eldest prince and his entourage.

After getting off the boat, the guards even pulled out twenty-two horses from the boat, and the eldest prince rode on the horse with Lin Lang and the remaining twenty elites, and Gonggong Zhang led the remaining guards, his face was full of anxiety, and he pulled the reins of the horse that the eldest prince was riding, and persuaded:

"Your Highness, do you really want to take the risk?

The eldest prince raised his horsewhip, pointed around, and said, "The world of this Great Xia must be mine." If you don't have a fearless determination, how can you sit on this dragon seat!"

"The alliance must be done. You let go of your hand, this king is leaving. ”

Gonggong Zhang shook his head helplessly, so he had to let go of his hand, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the eldest prince and said, "Your Highness, be careful." After kowtowing, he stood up and said to Lin Lang: "Mr. Lin, the safety of Your Highness will be entrusted to you." Don't take your Highness to a dangerous place. ”

The eldest prince glared, raised his horsewhip, and was about to beat: "Dog slave, take charge of your master's freedom." ”

Gonggong Zhang hurriedly knelt down again and said, "The slave doesn't dare, I ......"

Lin Lang suddenly interjected: "Your Highness, it's no wonder that Gonggong Zhang is panicked and speechless, it is really the other party's prestige, in short, you have to be careful." ”

Only then did the eldest prince put away his anger, and Lin Lang rode forward, leading the way, and the knights left in the dust.

When the shadow of the eldest prince and others could not be seen, Zhang Gonggong led the rest of the guards to continue to board the ship and continue to sail towards Nanzhi Mansion.

It turned out that this was the plan that the eldest prince remembered, since he didn't know where Wen Xiucai was, he had to be very careful and low-key when he traveled, and he must not show a trace of rumors, and the third brother who was fighting for the throne with him could not send a grandmaster to deal with him, and the danger was much smaller than that of this Wen Xiucai.

He decided that he, Lin Lang and some guards, simply not far from Nanzhi Mansion, disembarked and took the land route, although it was not as good as taking a boat with a tailwind and comfort, but after all, the distance was not far, and the horses he brought were all good horses, although he could not travel thousands of miles a day, but it was still possible to travel three or four hundred miles a day, and a distance of five hundred miles, if it was fast, he would be able to reach Nanzhi Mansion tomorrow night.

After they set out, they first headed towards the town, and after walking for a few miles, they turned into a fork in the road and headed for Nanzhifu.

............

This is really unexpected, the water system of Daxia is developed, and the dignitaries and nobles travel by boat, and few nobles choose to travel by land, because the area of Daxia is vast, there are many mountain roads, and there are groups of wild beasts, both the degree of danger and comfort are far inferior to the waterway. In terms of time, the difference between the water route and the land route is similar.

Zhao Zhentian, that is, Zhao Zhendi's eldest brother, is also a first-class master who has opened the sixth order and comprehended the true meaning of martial arts.

Any ship coming up from the lower reaches of the Canglan River had to be docked for inspection, on the grounds that a gang of thieves had infiltrated the caravan, and the thieves had robbed the Zhao family's belongings and killed the Zhao family's people in the following counties, and they were trying to get through the customs in a fool's way.

Many shipowners were honestly inspected, but at the same time, they cursed incessantly, and the ghosts would believe that some thieves would commit such a great thing, and then they would sneak through Nanzhi Mansion. But in front of the power of the Zhao family, they had to bow their heads, even the ships of other first-class families and gangs were obediently inspected, after all, the strong dragon did not suppress the ground snake, and this was not the ground snake, but the same strong dragon.

Therefore, the family and the gang have the same tough style in the land under their jurisdiction, and some of them are even excessive, and they don't even need to make up reasons when they are checked.

At this moment, Zhao Zhentian stood at the entrance of the checkpoint with high spirits, and his second brother Zhao Zhenlei stood on the side, but he stood in a twist and turn, loose and saggy, and the two looked at the people who were being inspected half a mile away.

Zhao Zhenlei slanted his mouth and said: "Big brother, if you really intercept the eldest prince and save the eldest prince this time, with this credit, the deputy hall master of the Yanwu Hall should be in hand." ”

Zhao Zhentian shook his head and said, "Zhao Xueqing is the daughter of the patriarch after all, and her position is not so easy to grab. ”

Zhao Zhenlei stepped forward, patted Zhao Zhentian on the shoulder, and said, "Big brother, did the third brother ask you for help? ”

Zhao Zhentian frowned one day and said, "I sent a fourth-order martial artist who has opened his mind, but I don't know why I haven't come to receive the reward yet?"

Zhao Zhenlei smiled slightly and said: "I secretly investigated, and the person the younger brother wants to deal with hasn't appeared for two days." He won't be killed by someone you invited, right? So he ran away and didn't dare to come and receive the reward. ”

Zhao Zhentian frowned, he originally just looked at Yan Xuetu's strength was good, but he didn't expect this layer, now that he thinks about Yan Xuetu's style of conduct, it is indeed possible.

Zhao Zhentian nodded: "Second brother, what you said is really possible." I just wanted to hurt this guy a little bit and slow down his progression, but I didn't want to kill him. After speaking, he added: "After all, he is also the Zhao family." ”

Zhao Zhenlei smiled slightly and said, "Big brother, the same clan kills each other, but they will be punished." ”

Zhao Zhentian's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "Second brother, you help me investigate clearly." Now I can't get out of here, and I must complete the task of performing martial arts. ”

Zhao Zhenlei also whispered: "Why don't you tell me, big brother, who are you going to investigate?"

Zhao Zhentian's face changed slightly, and he said with a serious expression: "You can't bear it anymore because you love to listen to gossip news." However, this matter is the biggest secret of the family, and only the core disciples who have comprehended the true meaning of martial arts have the right to know it. ”

"Don't bother to inquire, if you do, the people of the Dark Sentinel Hall may arrest you and treat you as someone else's spy. ”

Zhao Zhenlei pouted and said, "Who would believe that my father is the elder of the Zhao family, and I will be a spy for other forces?"

Zhao Zhentian said angrily: "Don't mess around, hurry up and investigate clearly, the situation has been tense recently, and I can't tolerate you as a gag." ”

Suddenly, a member of the Yanwutang hurried up, he ran to Zhao Zhentian and said, "My lord, someone wants to hand you a note." ”

Zhao Zhentian raised his eyes and said, "How much benefit have you received?"

The member smiled "hehe", touched his head and said, "Not much, not much." ”

Zhao Zhentian stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it." He knows all about these small actions of his subordinates, but he thinks that as long as he can seriously complete the things he explains, as for where to get some out of it, as long as it is not too excessive, he will not pursue it, so when it was rumored that he was going to be the deputy hall master of the martial arts hall, many members supported him.

The member handed over the note, Zhao Zhentian took it, opened it and saw that there was one word on it - emperor. He was shocked and overjoyed, so he turned his head to Zhao Zhenlei and said, "Go and investigate clearly." After saying that, he turned to the members who had just come over and said, "Take me over." ”

The two hurriedly came to the checkpoint, Zhao Zhentian found that the three five-masted ships were docked, and he found at a glance that this was actually a standard ship in the Shenzhou army, and he was sure in his heart.

The member led him to the five-masted boat in the middle, pointed to a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard, and said, "This is the person who asked me to deliver the note." ”
