"Um."
Hearing this, Yun Duo also nodded to express his understanding.
"By the way, what's going on with these guards?"
Zhao Zhen changed the subject again.
Yun Duo sighed and then began to speak slowly.
It turns out that Yun Duo also came from a small family. When their family was at its peak, they were ranked among the best in Yunxia City.
It's just that the Yun family suffered a misfortune more than ten years ago. Their parents and two elders of the family's Wuling realm were robbed by bandits during a trade trip and died in the middle of the trade. This caused the originally prosperous family to immediately Falling apart.
After knowing the news, some powerful branch disciples immediately divided up the remaining property of the Yun family. They even had evil thoughts towards the sisters and wanted to attack them.
If it weren't for the fact that their grandfather at the martial arts realm protected them, they would have been killed long ago.
However, although his grandfather protected them, he could not change the fact that the family collapsed. He could only protect them and the Yun family's last two cloakrooms, struggling to maintain their lives.
Fortunately, the sisters Yun Duo and Yun Xia were very promising. Two years later, Yun Duo successfully joined the Qing Yun Sect. Although he was not an elite, he was still a formal disciple. Yun Xia was even more talented since she was a child, possessing the spiritual roots of wind and fire. Her grandfather Three years ago, I quietly took her to Longjing and visited Guanlan Hall.
As soon as Guanlan Hall saw Yunxia's talent, they immediately agreed to accept it and let Yunxia enter the hall directly after she turned twelve years old.
This time, the Yun family, which was originally in danger, finally had hope.
However, just when hope came, bad luck struck again. Due to their old age and years of hard work, their grandfather had reached the end of his life.
Finally, their grandfather died of illness a year ago. Before his death, his grandfather entrusted them to the family's guard commander Zhang Tai.
"So that's it."
Zhao Zhen nodded, but his eyes flickered, "This Tai should be very trusted by your grandfather."
"Yes."
Yun Xia said at this time, "Because Zhang Tai was just a wandering beggar in the city before. My grandfather took him in because he was pitiful and taught him martial arts. This gave him a chance to be self-reliant, and he was done with it." Loyalty, when my family was in the most critical situation, we did not abandon our grandfather, but..."
Speaking of this, Yunxia fell silent.
"But people change."
Looking at Yun Xia's silence, Zhao Zhen's eyes flashed and he said, "To put it more seriously, this is the emperor and his courtiers, but to put it more lightly, this is the passage of time, people are tired of tea, and your grandfather was kind to Zhang Tai. And he still has the strength to suppress Zhang Tai, and Zhang Tai is naturally honest, but after your grandfather passed away, no one can suppress him, so of course he will have other thoughts."
Hearing this, Yun Duo's face turned ugly, but he nodded and said, "Brother has piercing eyes. Yes, this Taihe has been different since our grandfather passed away. Although he is still respectful to us on the surface, he has secretly interfered with both sides of our family. We originally had a profit of close to a hundred taels of silver per month from our clothing store business. As soon as he took over, we lost half of it. The other one was his son, who used to be extremely polite to us and abide by the rules, but Over the past year, he has become more and more bold, harassing my sister's cultivation several times, and even expressed his love for my sister at one time. If my sister hadn't persuaded me, I would have taught him a lesson!"
"Sister, don't be angry, haven't you gotten over it now?"
Yun Xia shook her head, "Although my sister's sect suffered a great disaster this time, it is precisely because of this that we can reunite. Moreover, I have reached the age where Guanlan Hall can recruit disciples. This time, after joining Guanlan Hall, we will not Go away and get rid of them completely.”
"Um."
Yun Duo then put away his anger and nodded, "Anyway, I finally got through it. Brother, I think you should also join Guanlan Hall with my sister. I believe that with your talent, Guanlan Hall will definitely grab it." Get yours."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen did not answer, but just pondered.
After a moment, Zhao Zhen came to his senses, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether I join Guanlan Hall or not. What matters is that this time you go to Longjing, I'm afraid it won't go so smoothly."
As soon as these words came out, both Yun Duo and Yun Xia were stunned. Yun Duo showed some confusion, but Yun Xia's expression became solemn.
"Brother Zhao means... Zhang Tai and his son will be detrimental to us?"
There was appreciation in Zhao Zhen's eyes. This Yunxia, at such a young age, has insight into people's hearts. It is really not simple.
Naturally, he nodded and said, "Yes, it's just like what I just said. When your grandfather was here, everything was easy. But after your grandfather passed away, the situation changed. In this year, you have seen It’s Zhang Tai and his son’s ambition, so do you think they will really be kind enough to send you to Longjing?”
Yun Duo clenched his fists, "Then what can they do? Are they going to take us by force?"
"It would be better if it was just possession."
Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes, "If you are possessed, you can at least survive. But I'm afraid they don't want to take possession, but to claim credit and receive rewards. Yun Duo, don't forget, we are all wanted by the court now." .”
As soon as these words came out, Yun Duo's body trembled, and Yun Xia's pupils shrank. They were both extremely smart, so naturally they understood what Zhao Zhen meant instantly!
"Yes, Zhang Tai and his son already have ambitions, and now I am a wanted traitor. If they take us to collect the reward, their benefits will be doubled, and they will not even have to bear the infamy!"
Yun Duo murmured, his face turned pale, "Then this is terrible!"
Yun Xia's face was also pale, but she soon regained her composure, looked at Zhao Zhen seriously and said, "Brother Zhao, I really didn't expect what you said, so what should we do next?"
"Just kill him."
This time, without waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak, Han Yu said lightly, "It's just a few little ants, nothing difficult."
This made Yun Duo and Yun Xia stunned again, and Zhao Zhen also smiled and said, "Yes, you don't have to worry. In the final analysis, it is strength that determines everything. I have seen the realms of their father and son. One is at the third level of martial arts, and the other is at the ninth level of warrior. It’s really nothing, if something goes wrong, I will take action directly.”
After hearing this, Yun Duo and Yun Xia reacted and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yunxia said, "Then I'll leave it to Brother Zhao. But Brother Zhao, I hope you can avoid taking action until the last moment. After all, they are also the elderly in my family. I really don't want them to die if it is not necessary."
"Of course I know this. Aside from the fact that they are your old people, what I just said is just a possibility. What if they don't have this plan? So I won't take action until the end."
Zhao Zhen nodded, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, "In the final analysis, the choice is theirs. It depends on whether they go to a dead end on their own."
"Um."
Yun Duo and Yun Xia nodded, feeling relieved.
At the same time, the escort outside the carriage was in front.
Zhang Tai and his son were riding horses together.
"Father, when shall we take action?"
Looking back at the carriage, Zhang Qing suddenly whispered to Zhang Tai.
"Hmph, I originally planned to take action halfway, but now it seems that taking action is no longer possible."
Zhang Tai snorted coldly, "This Zhao Zhen is too strong. I heard that when he reaches the second level of martial arts, he can burst out with the power of the ninth level of martial arts. But when I saw him just now, he had already reached the ninth level." He has reached the third level of martial arts, and with this strength, all of us combined are no match for him."
"What should we do!"
Zhang Qing's expression changed, "Are we going to give up like this? Father, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! We..."
"Why panic!"
Zhang Tai's eyes turned cold and he shouted, "Who said you can solve problems by taking action?"
"That…"
"It's half a month's journey from Longjing, and there are many people from the government at the city checkpoints along the way."
Zhang Tai sneered, "So we just look for opportunities to contact the government directly. Don't forget, Zhao Zhen is the last sect leader of Qingyun Sect, and Master Zhou has also issued a huge reward. As long as we report it, the government will pay attention immediately, and the court will definitely be there by then." The master comes to attack and kill, we just need to wait and receive the reward afterwards."
Hearing this, Zhang Qing's eyes lit up, "I see, my father is so calculating! This way we can get a large number of rewards without any effort."
"Hehe, yes, so Zhao Zhen's arrival is also an opportunity for our father and son to prosper. If there is only one Yunduo, although there will be a reward, it will be too little. But Zhao Zhen is different. He is the last master of the Qingyun Sect. As long as If we seize the opportunity to report it, we will immediately obtain a ninth-grade official status."
Zhang Tai sneered, "This is the real soaring into the sky, so Zhang Qing, you have to take good care of them in the next period of time, especially Zhao Zhen. You must serve him carefully and never let him find out that something is wrong."
"Yes, father, I understand!"
Zhang Qing's eyes also became hot, but the next moment he sighed suddenly, "It's a pity that my son can't enjoy their sisters anymore."
"Humph, is this all you can do?"
Zhang Tai snorted again, "After receiving the reward and gaining an official position, what kind of woman can't enjoy it in the future?"
"Haha, what the father said is true, and the son also understands this truth. It's just a pity."
Zhang Qing laughed and said, "Father, please don't worry, my son will never let a small thing lead to a big loss."
"Um."
Zhang Tai also nodded, with a gloomy sneer on his face.
The carriage moved forward like this, and in the blink of an eye, three days passed.
During these three days, Zhang Tai and his son behaved very respectfully, especially Zhang Qing, who served tea, poured water, made fire and cooked rice. At the same time, they also praised Zhao Zhen from time to time, praising Zhao Zhen for his loyalty and courage.
Zhao Zhen naturally accepted all comers. When the other party praised him, he would praise the other party in return. The other party called him brother and sister, and he also called him brother and brother. It seemed that the atmosphere was harmonious.
