Chapter 65: Changing Faces
When the Zhao family's guards surrounded the five people in the middle of the courtyard with paper kites, Zhao Gongming was still surprised by the Zhao family's emergency response speed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In his opinion, when a huge paper kite fell from the sky, the Zhao family's rotating guards were able to ring the alarm as soon as they discovered the abnormality, which showed that the vigilance of the Zhao family's guards was still very high.
These guards did not relax in their daily actions because the entire Caoxu Town was already under the control of the Zhao family.
At the same time, after the alarm bell sounded, the reaction speed of many guards who quickly gathered in the front yard of the Zhao family's mansion was also unexpected by Zhao Gongming.
After Zhao Hao made a statement of his identity and was recognized by the guards, these guards did not let go of the encirclement because of this, and still maintained a siege of the five people.
This shows that these guards will not abandon their duties because of the existence of a certain Zhao family disciple without a clear order from their superiors, even if the status of this Zhao family child is far higher than that of these family guards.
Zhao Gongming couldn't help but admire the Zhao family's ability to train such a forbidden family guard.
You must know that the Zhao family is just a small family in control of a small mountain town, and in terms of the training of the family guards, it is enough to make Zhao Gongming feel very surprised.
In Zhao Gongming's opinion, these guards were just ordinary people who had practiced some mundane martial arts, and after Zhao Hao revealed the identity of the monk of Peng Youzhi's sect, they were still able to maintain the siege formation in front of the legendary immortal master.
The quality displayed by the Zhao family's guards simply made Zhao Gongming feel incredible, and he felt that he should re-examine the relationship between monks and ordinary people in this world, and maybe there was something he had missed.
After Zhao Wuyan carefully observed the situation in the courtyard, Shi Shiran walked out from behind the many guards.
When the guards found out that their immediate boss appeared, the whispers in the courtyard suddenly disappeared, and the entire front yard became extremely quiet.
Zhao Wuyan's appearance quietly resolved the deadlock in the courtyard, Zhao Hao didn't notice the clan uncle's move of hiding behind the guards, and thought that the other party had heard the alarm bell before rushing there.
So Zhao Hao introduced again: "Sixth uncle, this is Peng Youzhi Peng Immortal Master, a subordinate of Huang Zhonggu, today my nephew was in distress in the mountains, thanks to the rescue of the Immortal Master, he was spared." β
"It's getting late today, the immortal master has promised to rest at Zhao's house for the time being, and the nephew and others returned on the immortal master's flying magic weapon. β
When Zhao Hao spit out the five words "Huang Zhonggu's subordinates" in his mouth, Zhao Wuyan was already pleasantly surprised, as the patriarch in charge of foreign affairs of the Zhao family's side branch, of course he would not be unfamiliar with the name Huang Zhonggu.
Caoxu Town belongs to Guanshan County, and Guanshan County belongs to Cangwu County, which is only one of the four counties under the jurisdiction of Huang Zhonggu.
As the top sect in the cultivation world, the talisman money that passes through the four counties is made by Huang Zhonggu, and the bell-shaped pattern on the talisman is the mark of Huang Zhonggu.
Therefore, Zhao Wuyan knew very well what a Huangzhonggumen person meant to the Zhao family in Caoxu Town, which was simply a godsend.
Moreover, with Zhao Hao's identity in the clan, coupled with the huge paper kite that fell from the sky in front of him, Zhao Wuyan had already identified the identity of the Huangzhong Valley Sect in front of him.
Thinking about it, in the area under the jurisdiction of Huang Zhonggu, there is no one who has the courage to pretend to be a disciple of Huang Zhonggu.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wuyan said straight to Peng You with a smile on his face: "It is really an honor for the Zhao family to come to the immortal master, if you don't think the house is simple, please also ask the immortal master to talk in the house." β
At the same time, he shouted at the guards in the courtyard: "Don't hurry up and retreat, it's just the immortal master's flying magic weapon, what's the fuss." Who is ringing the alarm bell, and tomorrow will report to me. β
Hearing this, many guards dispersed, the guard who sounded the alarm bell was bloodless, and the guards on duty who were chatting were even more gloating on the side: you want to be in the limelight, but you deserve it!
Peng Youzhi, who had always kept a straight face, didn't want to continue to entangle after hearing Zhao Wuyan's words, so he turned his head to Zhao Hao and said, "Prepare a quiet room for me, and the paper kites in the courtyard will be carefully guarded." β
Zhao Hao smiled when he heard this: "Immortal Master rest assured. β
Then he said to Zhao Wuyan: "Sixth uncle, I will take the immortal master to the quiet room to rest first, and you will arrange for someone to take care of the immortal master's magic weapon." β
Then he turned his head and looked at Zhao Gongming and the others, "Niu Er is valued by the Immortal Master, and he will soon become a disciple of Huang Zhonggu, and he will no longer be the guard of my Zhao family, how to deal with this matter, Sixth Uncle, you can arrange it yourself." β
"This is Zhao Gongming, a disciple of the shopkeeper of the Qian family's pharmacy, who once fought side by side with his nephew in the mountains today. β
Zhao Hao's words inadvertently missed the lark leaning on Zhao Gongming, in the eyes of this young master of the Zhao family, an ordinary woman collecting medicine is really not worth mentioning.
After Zhao Hao left the front yard with Peng Youzhi, Zhao Wuyan, who had not talked to Huang Zhonggu's disciples, could only focus on Niu Er and Zhao Gongming, and the poor lark was ignored again.
So far, Niu Er has actually only met Zhao Wuyan three times, the first time was when Zhao Kuo recommended him to enter the Zhao family, the second time was when the Zhao family's team set off, and today this is the third time.
When they met for the first time, Niu Er's identity was a splashy household in Caoxu Town, and Zhao Wuyan's identity was the patriarch of the Zhao family in charge of foreign affairs, and the identities of the two could be said to be very different, if there was no introduction from Zhao Kuo, I am afraid that Niu Er would not even be able to cross the threshold of the Zhao family.
Niu Er still remembers the scene of the meeting at that time, the old Zhao family listened to Zhao Kuo's introduction with a blank face, and then recruited a guard to test Niu Er's skills, when Niu Er only used one punch to knock the guard to the ground, Zhao Wuyan's face changed color slightly, giving Niu Er a chance to become the Zhao family's guard.
The second time they met, it was when the Zhao family's convoy set off from the town, Zhao Wuyan encouraged Niu Er in public, although it was just a few clichΓ©s, but for Niu Er at that time, it did have an exciting effect.
Today is the third time they met, but Niu Er found that the elder of the Zhao family, who was extremely serious in his impression, now showed a rare low-voiced attitude, which made Niu Er, who had not completely accustomed to the change of his identity, feel very uncomfortable.
Zhao Wuyan said to Niu Er with a smile on his face: "Niu Er, when you entered the Zhao family, I was very optimistic about you, and your performance in the family team's trip to the county seat was even more impressive. It's just that I never expected that you would get the blue eyes of the sect immortal master and ascend to the sky in one step. β
"The identity of the Zhao family's guard is now an insult to you, I, Zhao Wuyan, am willing to represent the Zhao family and hire you as the guest of the family, and worship you and the Zhao family's innate clansmen on a daily basis. β
"In addition, I want you to go to the Yellow Bell Valley with the immortal master this time, your brother Niu Da may not be able to go with him for the time being, on behalf of the Zhao family, I promise that Niu Da's life in Caoxu Town, the Zhao family will do their best to relieve your worries. β
Zhao Wuyan's overtures in these words made Niu Er realize the benefits of being a disciple of the sect for the first time, even if he was not yet an official member of the Huangzhong Valley Sect.
With just a verbal promise from Peng Youzhi, a disciple of Huang Zhonggu, the Zhao family, who originally needed Niu Er to look up, began to show favor to themselves.
It turned out that the Zhao family, who was high in his eyes, was completely an ant-like existence in front of a top-level cultivation sect like Huang Zhonggu.
Niu Er, who has always been stammering with others, felt the stammering of others for the first time. This taste made Niu Er, who was accustomed to the discrimination of others earlier, can't help but have a fluttering feeling.
Zhao Wuyan knew very well that a disciple of Huang Zhonggu could bring benefits to the Zhao family's side branch, and once he had the support of the Huang Zhonggu sect, the Zhao family's side branch could not only completely overwhelm the Zhao family's branch of the Zhao family.
Even in the entire Guanshan County, the Zhao family in Caoxu Town would not be afraid of the power of any other family.
Therefore, Zhao Wuyan had already exceeded his scope of authority and gave the best conditions that the Zhao family's side branch could provide, striving to be able to pull Niu Er, a sect preparatory disciple from Caoxu Town, into his own camp.
Zhao Gongming, who had been watching from the sidelines, also had a deeper understanding of Master Qian Chuan's desire to enter the cultivation sect when Zhao Wuyan was trying his best to win over Niu Er.
This world is indeed controlled by these cultivation sects, and the influence of the identity of the sect's disciples on ordinary people can be clearly seen from this scene in front of them.
Niu Er quickly woke up from the bunch of benefits given by Zhao Wuyan, he did not forget that he was not an official disciple of Huang Zhonggu at the moment, and everything in front of him was because of a verbal promise from Huang Zhonggu's disciple Peng Youzhi.
The various benefits given by Zhao Wuyan seem to be good, but in fact, they are all based on the premise that Niu Er becomes a disciple of Huang Zhonggu, if Niu Er fails to become an official disciple of the sect, what qualifications does Niu Er have to serve as a guest of the Zhao family.
The Zhao family's care for Niu Da's daily life may be the only benefit that Niu Er can get from the Zhao family before he officially becomes a disciple of the sect, but the continuity of this benefit is still closely related to the change of Niu Er's identity.
Although Peng Youzhi swore that Niu Er's physique was a good physical cultivation qualification, he would definitely be able to become a sect wrestler in Huang Zhonggu.
But in the view of Niu Er, who was born in a pranky family, as long as this kind of thing does not become a reality for a day, there may be a risk of invalidation.
I think that when he was blackmailing in Caoxu Town, he always got the tangible benefits in his hands on the spot, and he never believed the promises of the blackmailed object.
What's more, in Niu Er's skin-throwing career, he has never made any poisonous oaths, but he will be forgotten in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, Niu Er actually doesn't believe in such a thing as promises, but he won't let go of the benefits at his fingertips.
At present, his idea is to get something tangible from the Zhao family.
