Lin Zhengfang continued: "But unexpectedly, this will lead to disaster. Five days ago, a group of mysterious people suddenly came to the Lin family to buy this mysterious ore for 3,000 taels. “

The lord of Huaying said: "It's not a loss to sell a stone for three thousand taels." “

Lin Zhengfang was embarrassed and cried: "My father, the head of the family, refused at first. Businessmen always have to go through a bargaining process. “

Cao Zheng nodded and said, "This is common sense. “

"But this group of mysterious people turned their faces and killed the killer as soon as they heard the refusal, they are strong in martial arts, and the warriors of my family are not opponents at all. Time was pressing, and we only escaped for our lives when we escaped into a dark passage. The next day, we didn't dare to go home, so we inquired outside, but we all said that my whole family had been killed and burned down. Speaking of this, Lin Zheng hugged his sister and cried bitterly.

At this time, no one interjected, waiting quietly for them to calm down.

After a while, Lin Zhengfang's brother and sister separated, both of them had tears on their faces, and Lin Zhengfang continued: "My sister has lost her voice since she saw her family being killed. “

When Lord Huaying heard this, his eyes were also red.

Lin Zhengfang said again: "We wanted to report to the official, but we found that there were gangs of suspected mysterious people guarding us, and as long as we dared to appear, we would be killed, so we hid for a few days and secretly ran to Xingyang Mansion, preparing to take a boat to Liangzhou to join our cousin." “

"Unexpectedly, these gangsters actually followed, and it was all our brothers and sisters' fault that so many people were killed!" Lin Zhengfang said in a low tone, his face full of pathos.

The lord of Huaying stepped forward to support his sister and said excitedly: "It's not your fault, these people are too hateful." I will help you find the murderer and help you get revenge. “

"And what about this mysterious ore, which you brought out?"

Lin Zhengfang shook his head and said, "Because my father is hiding in a secret place that only he knows. It may have been taken by these mysterious people. In order to destroy the corpse, it was burned. ”

At this time, the county lord of Huaying slashed towards Tang and said, "Let's go back and investigate these mysterious people." ”

Tang Shu and Cao Zheng glanced at each other, they both heard the contradictions in Lin Zhengfang's words, only the lord of Huaying County was innocent and not deeply involved in the world, so it was easy to be fooled. If the mysterious person got the mysterious ore, why bother chasing after it? Lin Zhengfang didn't even know where the murderer came from, and what secrets would he reveal?

Tang Shu said coldly at this time: "County Lord, aren't you going to see the county king? ”

Only then did the lord of Huaying remember the task of her profession, and she was stunned for a moment.

Tang Shu said again: "It's better for me to send carrier pigeons to the people in the palace, naturally someone will order the county commander of Zhongmu County to investigate this matter." “

Lin Zhengfang pulled his sister to kneel down at this time and said, "Thank you, county lord! “

Lord Huaying waved his hand and said, "It's a trivial matter." “

At this time, the lord of Huaying turned to the leader of the thieves and said angrily: "Who are you to do this disaster of extermination?"

Cao Zheng stepped forward at this time and said, "Wait for me to untie his veins." With that, he pointed his right hand at the leader of the thieves and grabbed the void.

"Alright, he can speak. Oh! He rushed forward and grabbed the leader of the thieves by the chin with his hand, but it was too late.

The leader of the thieves immediately turned black, his lips were swollen, and blood flowed from all seven orifices, and he died in less than ten breaths.

Everyone present had serious expressions, this was still a dead man, and it seemed that it was not easy to investigate clearly.

Zhao Dongli also felt afraid for a while, and when he pretended to be dead, he told him that his life was the greatest, but when he encountered a girl who was about to be raped, he couldn't suppress his heart to save his life.

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

A knock on the door woke Zhao Dongli from his cultivation, seven days had passed since he was rescued, and the injuries on his body had also been completely healed under the treatment of the wound medicine given by Cao Zheng.

Zhao Dongli and Lin Zhengfang's brothers and sisters are going to Nanzhi Mansion in Hanchuan County, Liangzhou, which is where the clan of the Zhao family is located, and it is a first-class family in the world, with a history as long as the royal family.

And Lin Zhengfang's brother and sister's cousin is in the Zhao family to hold a certain stewardship, and Zhao Dongli is also going to the Zhao family to participate in the Yanwutang assessment, as for the elder brother of the Huaying county lord is also in the Zhao family, he was fascinated by a certain woman and refused to return to Yongzhou, the Huaying county lord just wanted to see how beautiful this woman was, so that the brother who had always been above the top did not even return home.

Since the destination was the same, the three passengers who had joined halfway stayed on the "Tabo" and moved forward together.

What's even more coincidental is that the guest room assigned to Zhao Dongli this time is the one he used to live in. However, when he saw the Ni guards coming to apologize the next day, he understood. After all, he got on the boat on the recommendation of Ni's guard, but he almost died. Therefore, Ni Huwei felt ashamed.

When he opened the door, it was Ni Escort who knocked on the door, and Ni Escort smiled: "Brother Zhao, the young gang leader invites you to come over and talk." “

Zhao Dongli nodded, closed the door, and went to see Cao Zheng with Ni Escort.

The place where we met was in the Tianzi room where Cao Zheng lived, which was said to be a guest room, but there was an independent reception room.

At this moment in the reception room, Cao Zheng already had a guest first, that is, Tang Shu, and the two were facing the next game of chess at this moment.

Cao Zheng motioned for Zhao Dongli to sit down, and continued to play against Tang Shu.

After Zhao Dongli sat down, a servant brought tea, and Zhao Dongli observed the two.

Cao Zheng is about twenty years old, five years older than Zhao Dongli, with delicate facial features and neatly arranged hair, which shows that he attaches great importance to his own appearance, and he has a smile on his face, which has his own unique charm. And Tang Chu is two years older, his facial features are like a knife, the bridge of his nose is straight, his face is hidden with wind and frost, and his expression has always been cold and ruthless. He did not wear light armor today, but wore a set of civilian clothes, but his sitting posture was still upright, and he did not change his sergeant's style.

These two people are equally imposing, that day Zhao Dongli was easily teased by the leader of the thieves, but the leader of the thieves was caught in Cao Zheng's hands after only two moves, with this stark contrast, Zhao Dongli knew how big the gap between himself and Cao Zheng was, and Tang Shu, who could be on an equal footing with Cao Zheng, was also an equally terrifying existence.

However, the two have very different temperaments, but they can be friends, and they are also outliers.

When Zhao Dongli was looking, the chess game between Cao Zheng and Tang Chop was also over, and the result was that Tang Chop won.

Zhao Dongli arched his hand and asked, "I don't know what the young helper is looking for me?"

Cao Zheng picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "What are your plans to go to Nanzhi Mansion?"

Zhao Dong's centrifugal was strange, on the first day of rescue, he explained his ins and outs clearly, for Zhao Dongli, there were only three secrets about him, one was crossing, the second was "Nine Alchemy", the third was "Yuangang", and there was nothing else to hide.

Since Cao Zheng already knew what he was doing when he went to Nanzhi Mansion, why did he still ask.

With doubts in his mind, his reaction was sluggish.

Tang Chu suddenly said coldly: "Gongzi Cao is a pity?" Although Tang Chu's tone was a rhetorical question, his expression was definitely like this.

Cao Zheng smiled and said, "Old Tang, you really know me." ”

After speaking, Cao Zheng looked at Zhao Dongli and said: "Brother Zhao, although he belongs to the Zhao family, he has been three generations away from the ancestral land, but the two generations of your grandfather and uncle are all members of my Cao Gang. The head of the Zhao family has little respect for the branches. If you join my Cao Gang, I can give you the identity of a core disciple, and I can teach you the ground-level exercises of my own gang. ”

Zhao Dongli was taken aback, Cao Zheng came to recruit him, and the conditions given were very good, if he went to the Zhao clan to participate in the martial arts hall, he would be allowed to teach the ground-level exercises, but if he didn't pass, he could only practice human-level exercises. And as long as he promised Cao Zheng now, he would be able to practice the ground-level exercises immediately.

He almost agreed, but Lin Wanqing's figure flashed in front of him. This reminded him, and Zhao Dongli spoke: "Does the young gang master know what 'Splitting the Sky' means?"

Cao Zheng was stunned, he didn't know why Zhao Dongli asked this, Tang Shu also looked at the two of them with interest.

After thinking about it, Cao Zheng shook his head.

Zhao Dongli flashed a trace of disappointment in his heart, and said: "Thanks to the young gang master, I still decided to go for the assessment." “

Cao Zheng's eyes lit up, he hadn't been rejected for a long time, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said in a deep voice: "You have to think about it carefully, as long as you agree before getting off the boat, my promise will be valid, and you don't need to refuse me now." “

Zhao Dongli felt as if the air had frozen, he bit his lip and said, "Young Helper, I have made up my mind." And I'm so far away from the two, what is there to ask the young helper to recruit in person?"

Cao Zheng was about to speak, but Tang Shu said: "Little Brother Zhao can't be arrogant. His interjection also tempered the atmosphere, making the frozen air seem to be alive again.

Cao Zheng took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said, "Do you know that our cultivation of internal strength is actually transformed from the food we consume daily. If the cultivation method is good, the efficiency of transformation will be high; if the qualifications are good, the efficiency of transformation will also be high, and the total amount of internal force will also be high; and improving the quality of food or eating great supplements can also improve the efficiency of transformation. “

"And the core children of the family and the gang are born with advanced exercises, often eat the elixirs refined by centuries-old ginseng and other famous medicines, and also choose good talents and beautiful jade to join, there is no shortage of exercises, good qualifications, and often eat great supplements, but there are no more than ten people in each generation who can reach the sixth level of enlightenment before the age of forty and form an aura. “

"The martial artists of the ninth order of the Enlightenment Realm are respected as grandmasters, which is the foundation of first-class families and gangs. ”

"And those who have not reached the sixth level of the Enlightenment Realm before the age of forty and formed an aura will never have any hope of being a grandmaster, because after the age of forty, the body's qi and blood will decay. And the martial artist who has formed an aura has one step less to control his own essence and internal force, and he can temporarily lock in the decay of qi and blood. ”

"But if you are lucky enough to reach the sixth order of the Enlightenment Realm before the age of forty and form an aura, it doesn't mean that you will be able to cultivate to the Grandmaster. There may not be one out of ten. If you want to become a grandmaster, exercises, qualifications, understanding, and chance are all indispensable. ”

"Brother Tang and I are both sixth-order martial artists in the Enlightenment Realm, and we both have our own aura, but if you ask you and me, how sure are we about becoming a grandmaster?"

Tang Chu said coldly: "There is no one in a hundred. ”

Cao Zheng nodded.

Zhao Dongli gasped, it turned out that it was so difficult to become the ninth order of the Enlightenment Realm, and he asked again: "Could it be that the young gang master sees that I have the potential to become a grandmaster?"

Cao Zheng and Tang Shu listened to Zhao Dongli's words and looked at each other speechlessly.
