Zhao Chang was sitting on the carriage with a gloomy expression on his face. In the somewhat dim carriage, he felt a little depressed whether it was because his body had not yet recovered or because of his state of mind.
He stretched out his hand to open the curtain of the car window, and the cold wind blew in, disturbing a few white hairs on the temples. Looking at the rushing scenery outside the car, Zhao Chang's breathing gradually calmed down.
Since the sealing of Jinchun County, he has been operating here for thirty years. The huge Jinchun County can be said to be the kingdom of Zhao State, but it is better to say that it is the back garden of Chief Zhao. Over the years, I have worked hard and accumulated a lot of money, and I have accumulated a lot of influence. No matter in the secular or spiritual world, there is no one who doesn't give up a little face.
But this pair of children makes me very uneasy.
Zhao Qian was ambitious and always wanted to add sand to the guards, and he also had good relations with a group of county officials.
Zhao Ling was constrained by her identity as a woman, so she attracted a group of strangers. I just suffer from the inability to practice Qi and practice, but I have tried many methods over the years.
This daughter is naturally intelligent and scheming, no less than a man. There are many people who fall under her pomegranate skirt. If we only talk about means, Zhao Qian is really no match for him.
As for Zhang Qing, he is just a loser. He is obsessed with his daughter. It is not that he is unaware of their affair, but he is just too lazy to care about it. If it weren't for the fact that his people kept moving things from Genshan Gate to the palace, he would have been killed long ago to rectify the reputation of the palace.
In this Poison Pill case, in fact, Zhao Chang did not doubt Zhao Qian. He was not that bold yet. What good would it do for him to take over at this time? With his mind, could he outplay the one in the capital?
Moreover, with such a clumsy poisoning method, Zhao Chang even believed that he was framed. The reason why I questioned him was more to beat him up and not dance so happily.
As for Zhao Ling, he has not shown up in these days, which makes Mr. Zhao suspicious. This daughter, if it was profitable, could really do such a thing.
The carriage was moving quickly on the road, and the person leading the way was Zhao Qian, whose hair was a little messy. He was constantly sending out his own guards to find out the news. In order to guard against this surly sister these years, he certainly knew where Zhao Ling was.
After leaving Guanxi City, the convoy headed straight for a place called Yuan Valley in the south of the city.
This place is located at the intersection of two mountains. There is a natural jade vein. There are hot springs flowing down from the mountain stream, which are often mixed with stone pills. As the saying goes, jade is in the mountains and the grass and trees are moist, pearls grow in the abyss but the cliffs are not dry, and the original valley is like spring all year round. For this reason, he was recruited by Zhao Ling and built a private house of his own.
When the convoy arrived in front of the mansion, guards sent by Zhao Qian had already surrounded it. Zhao Chang looked at the locked door, waved his hand, and two groups of people dressed in black, wearing turbans on their heads and masks on their faces, walked straight to the courtyard gate with various weapons in hand.
When they arrived at the door, the leader waved his hand, and the large iron door opened in response. Some of the others walked through the door quickly, and some jumped over the wall to control various points.
When encountering guards in the mansion, it would be fine if they abandoned their weapons and surrendered. However, if there were people who resisted, several people would surround them and either cast spells or use weapons to quickly deal with them.
When we reached the inner courtyard, the resistance became more intense, and there were many strangers stationed here. In particular, a tall, bald man was the one who escorted Zhao Ling to Xingluo Plain. He held a big ax and fought to the death, but he chopped down many men in black.
Zhao Chang walked in, escorted by Gao Cheng and Zhao Qian. Gao Cheng said loudly: "Your Majesty is here, put down your weapons quickly."
Those who were still resisting looked at each other, threw away their weapons, and looked at Zhao Chang in panic, not knowing what had happened. The strong man scratched his head, threw down the ax, sat down on the ground, and let the man in black tie him up.
Gao Cheng stepped forward and pushed open the door of the inner courtyard. In the middle of the small courtyard, there was a tall house built in the shape of a tower, with six corners and six sides, and the whole body was pure white. Thirty-six sculptures are placed around the high room, all of which are a man and a woman embracing each other, forming a happy statue.
Stepping forward and pushing open the door of Gao's house, Gao Cheng just glanced at it and turned his head in embarrassment, not daring to look again. Zhao Chang walked to the door, his eyes suddenly red with anger.
There is only one floor in the house, and as soon as you enter it, you will feel the aura overflowing. The surroundings were decorated with beautiful jade, and a six-sided platform was built in the middle of the room. There were six pillars around the platform, and each pillar placed a piece of jade.
A spiritual jade as big as a fist.
The spiritual jade is purple, with mist surrounding it. This is the Yao jade that practitioners dream of. This jade rarely appears in the world. Unexpectedly, there are six pieces here.
On the high platform, a ray of sunlight shines through the roof. Under the sun, on the shining high platform, there was a man and a woman, barely naked, sleeping. The woman's hair, as soft as hanging clouds, is spread on the high platform. Her figure is graceful and radiant, just like the lady in the painting.
"Come here, put some clothes on these two shameless people." Zhao Chang pointed at the room with trembling hands, then turned around and walked out.
Soon someone brought clothes for the two of them to wear. These two people were Zhao Ling and Zhang Qing. For some reason, they couldn't wake up here.
Zhao Chang stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his white beard trembling slightly, his eyes red, and he was extremely angry.
"Father, Zhao Ling..."
"Shut up." As soon as Zhao Qianfang opened his mouth, he was stopped by Zhao Chang, "Gao Cheng, wake up the master and pass on the order. Today's events are not allowed to be leaked. If I hear a little bit of news, everyone present today will They will all be killed. Tell the others to go out, and you and Zhao Qian can stay here."
"Yes." Gao Cheng bowed and retreated, waving the people in the courtyard to retreat, and stood up to carefully inspect Zhao Ling's situation. Fortunately, Zhao Ling was not seriously ill, but his body could not bear the impact of spiritual energy and he fainted.
Gao Cheng slowly channeled the spiritual energy in Zhao Ling's body, and suddenly his brows moved. It was said that Zhao Ling could not practice qi, but today's inspection found that there were signs of gathering qi in his body, which meant that he had entered the threshold of practice. .
Turning around to look at the settings in the room, I suddenly realized that some kind of formation must have been used to forcefully activate Zhao Ling's Qi orifice and connect it to the Qi sea.
This move is very dangerous. If there is no one to protect you, if the slightest mistake is made, your meridians will be severed and you will die. And even if there are people who protect and use Yao Jade as a matchmaker, this method is still extremely difficult to succeed. Otherwise, if there are so many people in the world who have entered the path of spiritual practice through this method, the two of them must have used some secret method.
But the law of heaven is fair, and all secret methods must have benefits and harms, and it is definitely not that easy.
Thinking of this, Gao Cheng probed Zhang Qing's veins and frowned. The spiritual energy in this person's body was messy and disorderly. It was obvious that his foundation had been damaged. He would not be able to achieve much in the future. If it was more serious, he would even Cultivation will also regress.
Gao Cheng sighed, Zhang Qing's qi training qualifications were actually very good, otherwise he wouldn't have been considered an inner disciple since childhood. It is now useless, which is a pity.
After regulating the spiritual energy in Zhao Ling's body, he finally woke up and looked around, his eyes a little confused.
"My lord is awake." Gao Cheng walked behind Chang Zhao and reported in a low voice.
"Call her over." Zhao Chang almost said these words through gritted teeth.
After a while, Zhao Ling walked up behind Zhao Chang, gathered his clothes and saluted, "Father."
"Pah." There was a crisp sound, and Zhao Chang slapped Zhao Ling hard on the face, "You still have the nerve to call me father, you shameless ***."
Zhao Ling fell heavily to the ground, his long hair spread over his face.
After half a moment, Zhao Ling lay down on his upper body, turned to look at Zhao Chang, with a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Father, I am shameless, but have you ever forgotten.
This shame has bought you so many helpers from the capital, so the matter of secretly amassing troops against you has been suppressed by the emperor.
This shame has bought you so many help from others that you have the capital to lead the cultivation world of a county.
This shame has bought you so many books on elixirs and medicines that you can make progress in your practice. "
Zhao Ling stood up with a sad smile, walked up to Zhao Chang, and looked directly at him without fear, "Father, I know that you are very ambitious. You only want to sit on the throne, you only want to live forever, and you only want to rule all the continents. .
So, you let that loser Zhao Qian control the army, and let me set foot in the spiritual world to help you. But father, don’t forget, I am a useless person who can’t even step into the threshold of Qi training. Even Zhao Yan, that idiot, dares to ridicule me for this. Where can I find the confidence to help you lead the practitioners?
This time at Wentian Sect, I learned a method of dual cultivation, which may allow me to cross this threshold. This method requires me to find a male practitioner who will use his energy to help me. But who to look for?
, and only Zhang Qing, only he was willing to cut his own way to help me survive this disaster.
Father, you saw that your daughter had no regard for shame and hurt your face, but how could you know the pain in my heart and how could you help me. The reason why you came here today is probably because Zhao Qian, a good-for-nothing, tipped you off again. He just wanted to ruin my reputation and gain favor in front of you. Yes, I, Zhao Ling, stole people, but I did so openly. Now, I can practice cultivation and no longer fear those rumors. Father, look. "
As he spoke, Zhao Ling pulled two hairs from his head and put them on his palms. The hairs slowly flew up without any wind, entangled with each other, and danced gracefully, like butterflies.
Zhao Ling's eyes were shining, staring at the flying hair, as happy as a child, "Father, you are so beautiful." Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, blood and tears filled his breasts, speckled like red plums about to burn, sad and sad.
Zhao Changyang let out a long sigh, and opened his mouth several times, but swallowed it down, "It's my fault that my father is incompetent. From now on... I'd better cut off all contact with Zhang Qing. This poison pill case is over." , I don’t have the heart to go into it any further." As he said that, he turned around and walked slowly towards the door, his waist showing a bit of a stoop. new
Zhao Ling threw away the hair in his hand, the sad look on his face disappeared, and he glanced at Zhao Qian coldly, "Father, what's the poison pill case..."
On the way back to Guanxicheng, Mr. Zhao had a gloomy face and said coldly to Gao Cheng, who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage: "Kill Zhang Qing's career and cut off his tongue."
Gao Cheng hesitated a little and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Zhang Qing is from the Genshan Sect and is your nephew. If this happens, I am afraid that the Genshan Sect will no longer be of the same mind as me. Besides, there is the Weng Master... ..”
Zhao Chang snorted coldly, "Since I can hold up one Genshan gate, I can hold up the second one. Besides, Zhang Qing is just the heir of an elder, and there is still a gate owner."
Furthermore, if I can keep him alive, I have taken care of Genshanmen's face. After returning home, Zhao Qian and Zhao Ling both stayed in seclusion and thought about their mistakes. They really thought their wings were stiff. "
Cold sweat broke out on Gao Cheng's forehead, "I obey, villain."
As soon as the motorcade returned to the palace, Zhao Qian and Zhao Ling were immediately locked up in a cold room and were not allowed to go out. Three meals a day were only scraps of soup, and they were strictly forbidden to step out of the house.
In the palace, there was a knock on Wu Gen's courtyard door. Wu Gen, who was chewing on a chicken drumstick, jumped up on the bed in three steps and two steps at a time. He secretly reversed his energy and blood and nodded to Chu Ji.
Chu Ji tidied up, wiped his face, rubbed hard to make his eyes redder, spit some saliva and wiped it at the corners of his eyes, before going out and opening the courtyard door.
The person who came was Zhao Ling's maid. She only said that she heard that Wu Gen had not yet recovered and came here to visit.
Wu Gen's face turned sallow, and he stretched out a trembling hand from the quilt, "Thank you...Thank you for your love. The little one has improved a lot. He will be able to go to the ground in a few days. I will definitely go to him then." Your Majesty, please report."
The maid didn't doubt his presence, turned around and left the hospital.
Just as Wu Gen was about to get up, there was another knock on the door. There was no end, and he lay back on the bed angrily.
