Chapter 62: The Zhao Family
"Stop!"
Just as Chu Tiancheng was greeting the ancestors of these guards in his heart, a clear man's voice sounded on the city tower.
"Ninth Master!"
Chu Tiancheng looked at the city tower, and at this time, a young man in white looked down from the city tower, that person was tall, dignified, and had an extraordinary temperament, not angry but mighty.
After the man glanced at Chu Tiancheng, he opened his mouth and asked, "Who is here?"
Chu Tiancheng could see that this person's identity was not ordinary, and immediately clasped his fists and responded: "Chu Tiancheng, a disciple of the Freedom Sect in Xia!"
When the man heard this, he smiled slightly, clasped his fists and saluted back: "It turned out to be a friend of the Loose Sect - open the city gate quickly!"
The guards did not dare to disobey and activated the city gates.
The gates may have not been opened for a long time, and when they were activated, a lot of dust and debris fell from the gates.
When the gates opened, the white-clothed young man came out with a few guards.
"Brother Chu, Zhao Chang of the Zhao family in Chang'an City, the people are not sensible, if you are offended, please bear with me!"
Chu Tiancheng was not surprised, the Zhao family of Chang'an City -- Isn't that the Zhao Yun martial family of the city lord of Chang'an City? Chang'an City is the largest city in Zhongzhou, and this is the junction of the four major martial arts, and it has always been in charge of the ten major families, and the Zhao family is the head of the ten major families.
"Brother Zhao is serious!"
Chu Tiancheng wasn't sure if this "Zhao Chang" was the person from the Zhao family he thought of, and it was not easy to ask about this kind of thing, so he didn't say anything.
Zhao Chang looked at Chu Tiancheng again and said, "Brother Chu, there are Anfeng bandits in the east of this northern suburb, and there is a reincarnation ghost building in the west, why did Brother Chu appear in the northern suburbs and end up so embarrassed?"
"Thisβ"
Chu Tiancheng's mind was in a hurry, he hadn't figured out the cliff that he was jumping off the Ganliang Ancient Road before, but when he woke up, he arrived in the northern suburbs of Chang'an, and there was a mysterious woman fluttering beside him, and then he was chased into the reincarnation ghost building by the bandits of Anfeng Village, and he really didn't know what to say at this time. If this kind of thing is told the truth, then no one will believe it.
However, he was finally a clever and eloquent person, paused, and said calmly: "Don't hide it Brother Zhao, I have been investigating a missing girl recently, and finally chased it to the northern suburbs, but I didn't expect to be ambushed, so it's-"
"The case of the missing girl?"
Zhao Chang frowned slightly, read lightly in his mouth, and then pulled Chu Tiancheng to the side, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Chu, did you also lose the girl in the Loose Sect?"
"Huh?" Chu Tiancheng looked at Zhao Chang, his expression was a little more suspicious, he learned from Wan Qianli's mouth that many major sects have lost girls recently, and this matter may have spread in the major sects, but Feng Ruxuan's disappearance is not a good thing after all, and it may damage the reputation of the Xiaoyao faction if it spreads, of course, this kind of thing should not be said much, but he did not speak.
Zhao Chang seemed to see Chu Tiancheng's doubts, and whispered: "Brother Chu, don't worry, although I am a lay disciple of Shaolin, our top ten families have never participated in the battle of the sect, not to mention that my second brother Zhao Shu is a teacher?"
After listening to Zhao Chang's words, Chu Tiancheng could be sure that Zhao Chang was the head of the top ten families in Chang'an City - the Zhao family, judging from the attitude and title of those guards towards him, nine times out of ten he was the ninth son of the Zhao family.
The ten families of Chang'an City are a large organization with an extremely perfect mechanism, they have guarded Chang'an City for generations, they have never participated in the sect disputes of the rivers and lakes, but their children will be secretly sent to various sects to learn art since they were young, and when they grow up, they will return to the city to serve the family, in this extremely complex situation, the ten major families have a very delicate relationship with each sect.
According to Wan Qianli's statement, in addition to Shaolin, many sects have lost girls, and the Zhao family's eyeliner is all over the rivers and lakes, this kind of thing must not be hidden from Zhao Chang, Zhao Chang may be trying him when he asks this.
"Brother Zhao, I won't tell you, it's true!"
"Really?"
Zhao Chang was a little excited when he heard this, but he soon found that Chu Tiancheng was looking at him with amazement, and he laughed embarrassedly twice.
"Brother Chu, our Zhao family has never been involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but this time the girl's disappearance case has made people panic, I am worried that this is not a simple case, so I want to investigate it carefully - acquaintance is fate, why don't you follow me to my house, I have been tracking this case for a while, let's study and study it together?"
Chu Tiancheng's mind turned quickly, if this Zhao Changruo was really a member of the Zhao family, and he had an extraordinary identity, with his help, it would be much more convenient to intercept the disciples of the Netherworld Palace at the south gate of Chang'an to save Feng Ruxuan.
He asked rhetorically: "Is Brother Zhao also investigating the disappearance of the girl?"
"Shhhh
"I see!" Chu Tiancheng nodded knowingly.
Chu Tiancheng was bent on finding and rescuing Feng Ruxuan, he didn't know why this Zhao Chang was so interested in the girl's disappearance, but he couldn't think about it so much, now that he was penniless and unable to move an inch, befriending Zhao Chang was undoubtedly the best choice.
After the two agreed, Zhao Chang took Chu Tiancheng to a large mansion called "Tianchang Mansion".
"My father has nine sons, I am the ninth, so I am also called Jiulang, this 'Tianchangfu' was given to me by my father when I was sixteen years old, you see it's not bad!"
After the two entered the house, an old maid came up with a few little maids, the old maid was Zhao Chang's nurse and the housekeeper of Tianchang Mansion, named Youjiu, this name was taken by Zhao Yunwu, the lord of Chang'an City, and the meaning was obvious.
"Childe, where did you go? Why did you come back so late? You must not have eaten yet, right?"
After seeing Zhao Chang's concern, You Jiu looked at Chu Tiancheng, and when she saw that Chu Tiancheng's clothes were in tatters, her expression was a little more surprised, and in an instant, she smiled and bowed to Chu Tiancheng.
Zhao Chang seemed to see You Jiu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Jiu Niang, this is Brother Chu, he is a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, and he is out of the same door as the second brother, this time he is a little embarrassed in order to be chivalrous and righteous, you go and prepare hot water and clean clothes, and - quickly prepare some wine and food, Brother Chu must be hungry when he fights with the bandits." β
You Jiu didn't ask much, and took someone to prepare to go.
Zhao Chang took Chu Tiancheng all the way to the backyard, Chu Tiancheng suddenly found a problem, this Tianchang Mansion is huge, and there are a lot of servants, but the servants they met along the way are all maids.
Chu Tiancheng asked curiously, "Brother Zhao, why are you all maids in this house?"
Zhao Chang smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Chu, don't you know, my father has always wanted our brothers to have more wives and children, so except for me and Jiuniang, the rest of Tianchang Mansion are little girls." β
