Chapter 69: Impasse
Facing Zhao Wuji, who likes to get to the bottom of things, Zhao Wuyan can only patiently tell the causes and consequences of this matter one by one. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, inviting Zhao Wuji, a congenital master, was Zhao Wuyan who exploited the loopholes in the clan rules. Therefore, Zhao Wuyan could not force Zhao Wuji to do things, and could only use persuasion to stimulate Zhao Wuji's initiative.
And when Zhao Wuyan told the ins and outs of the incident, it inevitably involved many other characters and events besides Zhao Gongming.
This made Zhao Wuji ask a lot of questions, although Zhao Wuyan was a strong supporter of Zhao Wuji's promotion to the innate level, but the number of face-to-face conversations he had with Zhao Wuji was less than three times in total.
In the past, the few conversations between the two involved very simple and clear things, even if Zhao Wuji repeatedly got to the bottom of it, it didn't take much effort.
And this time, Zhao Wuyan hoped that Zhao Wuji would take down Zhao Gongming, but the causes and consequences involved were quite complicated.
Therefore, for the first time, the elder of the Zhao Wuyan clan saw how terrifying it was for Zhao Wuji to really get to the bottom of it.
For example, Zhao Wuyan just explained: The tiger cub that Zhao Wuji needed to capture was to win over Niu Er, a preparatory disciple of Huang Zhonggu.
Zhao Wuji asked a bunch of questions one after another:
What is the origin of Zhao Gongming's identity?
How did this tiger cub fall into the hands of Zhao Gongming?
What is the origin of Niu Er's identity?
What exactly does Huang Zhonggu's preparatory disciple mean?
How did Niu Er get the identity of Huang Zhonggu's preparatory disciple?
Zhao Gongming, Niu Er, and the woman next to Zhao Gongming, how did they enter the Zhao family's mansion?
What's the deal with that giant paper kite in the courtyard?
Who rang the alarm bell?
What is the reason for sounding the alarm bells?
Why did Niu Er have to be the tiger cub in Zhao Gongming's arms? Can't you let Orion find another one?
When Zhao Wuyan explained that Niu Er and Zhao Gongming had old grudges, Niu Er took the opportunity to take revenge.
Zhao Wuji immediately asked, what is the old grudge between the two?
Zhao Wuyan explained in detail the situation when Niu Er and Langzhong Zhao Kuo of the Medical Hall made trouble in the Qian family pharmacy.
Zhao Wuji immediately began to inquire about the details of the incident, as well as about Zhao Kuo's situation.
And Zhao Kuo's situation involves the conflict of interest between the Qian Family Pharmacy and the Zhao Family Huairentang, as well as the role played by the Zhao Family Medical Center in the middle.
As a result of Zhao Kuo's disposal, Zhao Wuji, who was looking for the root cause, was involved in the family team.
Zhao Wuyan, who was dizzy by Zhao Wuji's endless questions, had already begun to suspect that he had invited Zhao Wuji to help, maybe it was a mistake.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Niu Er began to walk towards Zhao Wuyan, he wanted to know when this old man of the Zhao family would be able to convince the new innate master.
Soon he saw how terrifying Zhao Wuji was to get to the bottom of it, but fortunately, the other party's attention was focused on Zhao Wuyan.
Even so, Niu Er heard a lot of content related to himself from Zhao Wuyan's answer, and he began to worry that this innate master of the Zhao family would transfer his firepower to himself.
So Niu Er quietly moved his position and began to stay away from the old Zhao Wuyan clan who had fallen into the whirlpool of Zhao Wuji's problem.
He already understood at this time that even if Zhao Hao did not return to the front yard, his plan to kill people with a knife was on the verge of failure.
Because Niu Er couldn't see the hope of Zhao Wuyan getting out of the abyss of Zhao Wuji's problem in a short period of time, and the guards surrounding Zhao Gongming and Skylark Er obviously wouldn't obey Niu Er's orders.
With the little brain that Niu Er has exercised in his career, it is really difficult for him to find a way to break the impasse in front of him.
Zhao Gongming found that the current stalemate, although it was beneficial to him in a short period of time, but due to the strength gap between himself and the innate master, the final result still could not be changed, unless a new external force joined.
Zhao Gongming was about to forcibly break through the encirclement of the Zhao family's guards before Zhao Wuji made a move, when an unexpected situation appeared.
When Zhao Zhe heard the news that the patriarch had summoned him, he was very surprised, because the alarm bell that had just stopped sounding meant that something big must have happened tonight.
In this kind of emergency, the patriarch should convene the clan elders to deal with the emergency situation as soon as possible, rather than summoning himself, a junior who is not welcomed in the clan.
But when he stood in front of Zhao Pan and heard the patriarch ask about his recent contact with the medicine girl, he didn't understand what was going on for a while.
Could it be that the alarm bell sounding tonight will be related to the woman who has been collecting medicine that he has been in contact with these days, in Zhao Zhe's opinion, this is simply ridiculous.
Because Zhao Pan did not explain in detail the identity of the shopkeeper of the Qian family's pharmacy when he explained the task to Zhao Zhe, Zhao Zhe, as a descendant of the family, was not clear about the violent conflict between the Zhao family and Qian Chuan.
After all, Zhao Zhe was just a young child back then, and of course it was impossible to understand what kind of huge pressure Qian Chuan brought to the Zhao family back then.
Under Zhao Pan's careful inquiry, Zhao Zhe explained the details of his contact with the lark, especially during this period, the possible connection between the lark and Qian Chuan was the focus of Zhao Pan's attention.
It wasn't until news came from the front yard that Zhao Pan determined that the alarm was a false alarm, that Zhao Zhe was freed from the endless interrogation of the patriarch.
The news that Zhao Hao was walking with Huang Zhonggu's disciples made the Zhao family patriarch even more excited, and the Zhao family in Caoxu Town had never received such a person.
A disciple of a top-level sect is like a phoenix falling into a chicken nest for a small family in a remote mountain town.
When Zhao Pan thought of the benefits that the family might get from it, his heart was even more happy, and the matter of Qian Chuan was even more forgotten by him, and what he saw was the opportunity for the Zhao family to turn over.
Even if it is a branch in the county town, no one in the clan has been able to enter the cultivation sect so far, if they can take this opportunity to get in touch with the disciples of Huang Zhonggu, the Zhao family in Caoxu Town will no longer have to be oppressed by the county town.
Zhao Pan even imagined that if the children of the clan could worship in the Huangzhong Valley, the Zhao family in Caoxu Town would not be able to seize the position of the Zhao family's descendants.
The news that Zhao Hao arranged a quiet room for Peng Youzhi soon reached Zhao Pan's ears. Zhao Pan did not express any dissatisfaction with Zhao Hao's self-assertion, because as a sect monk, he could completely ignore the rules of the Zhao family.
Zhao Pan planned to communicate well with this junior of the family after Zhao Zhe placed that Huang Zhonggu disciple, and tried his best to gain the favor of this sect monk.
Immediately after that, the news from the front yard was that Niu Er, who was originally the Zhao family's guard, had been recognized by Peng Youzhi, a disciple of Huang Zhonggu, and had the identity of Huang Zhonggu's preparatory person.
This news made the patriarch Zhao Pan see another way to get in touch with Huang Zhonggu, Niu Er, as a native of Caoxu Town, even served as the Zhao family's guard.
Zhao Pan felt that it was much easier to win over Niu Er, an acquaintance, than to deal with that strange disciple of Huang Zhonggu. Therefore, it became a top priority to have a face-to-face interview with Niu Er first.
However, in Zhao Pan's opinion: on the one hand, Niu Er is not a real Huangzhonggumen person, and it is not worth going there in person;
So Zhao Zhe became the temporary messenger of the patriarch, and instead of Zhao Pan, he went to the front yard to invite Niu Er.
When Zhao Zhe appeared in the front yard, the impasse in the courtyard took a new change because of his appearance.
