Zhao Rang counted them on his fingers, trying to figure out how many characteristics this girl had.
First of all, good-looking, including appearance and figure, especially the way you smile.
Then there is the initiative and enthusiasm. There are many girls who are pregnant, but not many dare to take the initiative to pursue the girl they like.
Finally, there is the bad temper.
Girls are often not very patient, and the more beautiful the girl, the worse. Because their appearance is the best pass, which allows them to get a lot without putting in much effort. If it comes too easily, it will naturally not be rare, and of course it will not be patient.
But this girl's patience is very good, like a difficult puzzle.
If you want to deal with a patient person, there is only one way, which is to be more patient than her!
After summarizing this, Zhao Rang found that this was really the first-class hard work in the world...
Self-knowledge also told him that he was not a particularly patient person. It may be better than Yuan Mingkong, but compared with the girl the leader mentioned, it is definitely not enough.
"How long has it been since you last seen this girl? Could it be..."
Zhao Rang wanted to think about whether the girl would be dead if the time interval was too long. But he did not say this unlucky word, because he could see that the leader was extremely interested in this girl. If he said it, the leader might get angry and change his mind.
The most striking characteristic of a true villain is his capriciousness. Even if he is fair every time, he cannot withstand the change of fairness.
The bet that was originally agreed to be a win-out-of-three games has now turned into finding someone.
Zhao Rang didn't know if there would be any new changes later.
In fact, now he was vaguely looking forward to the leader's capriciousness.
Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, it's better to change to a new condition and maybe give it a try.
"It's been over ten years."
"She was only fifteen or sixteen when she left. She is probably about the same age as you now."
Zhao Rang's eyes widened and he said:
"I know why this girl is avoiding you."
The leader asked:
"What's the meaning?"
Zhao Rang explained:
"Didn't you say that this girl will hide away from people she doesn't like so that you can't find them?"
There was bitterness on the face of the leader:
"Yes, she does not like me."
Zhao Rang said teasingly:
"If I were that girl and was liked by an uncle who could be her own father, I would definitely hide!"
"Not to mention that this girl has a very bad temper. If you get angry and go to her, there's no telling what extreme things she will do."
The more Zhao Rang spoke, the uglier the leader's face became.
But he still waited quietly for Zhao Rang to finish speaking before he said:
"Mr. Zhao, did you make a mistake?"
Zhao Rang was completely unaware.
He thought that his analysis of the girl was very thorough, and he also had a clear understanding of the conflict between the leader and the girl, so he would never make any mistakes.
"This girl..."
This was the first time the leader stuttered when speaking.
Ever since he came to the Water Pavilion, he had always been as calm as water. It was only when he talked about this girl that he showed his emotions for the first time.
Of course Zhao Rang can understand.
A middle-aged man suddenly fell in love with a little girl. He couldn't help himself but couldn't help falling in love. This kind of thing would be unspeakable for anyone.
"This girl... is my daughter!"
Zhao Rang thought he had a plan in mind.
As soon as the leader said these words, the sea of bamboo in his chest was completely burned by a fierce fire.
"Your daughter? You have a daughter??"
I have thought so much about my feelings and said so many things, but they are all wrong!
This girl is not Bai Yueguang, whom the leader loves, but his blood relative!
The leader's feelings for him were not that of a yearning for him, but a father's concern for his daughter.
Zhao Rang's questioning made the leader very puzzled and even a little unhappy.
I wonder if there are some problems in the minds of these people who came from the northern territory of Dawei... Previously, Yuan Mingkong doubted his identity as a former royal family, and he never expected that the prince would be able to give birth to another heir. Now that Zhao Rang heard that he had a daughter, he exclaimed here again, as if it was something terrible.
Even eunuchs can continue their careers through adoption and adoption. Why can't I, a man who is healthy, good-looking, powerful and wealthy, not have a daughter?
Fortunately, the leader had very good concentration. He slowly digested it for a moment and said to Zhao Rang:
"Any questions?"
Zhao Rang could hear the leader's displeasure, and also knew that he had made a mistake just now.
However, his mind worked quickly and he immediately came up with a way to make up for it.
"Of course there is a problem!"
This made the leader speechless. He was stunned for a moment before asking:
"What is the problem?"
Zhao Rang whispered softly, took control of his posture, and said:
"If you have a daughter, you have to have a wife first, right? If a father and his daughter fall out, the mother should go find it. Is there any reason for an outsider to interfere in household affairs? Is it possible that both the father and the mother are on the same page? My daughter had a falling out? Then these parents are so incompetent!"
Zhao Rang spoke to the leader of the church in a tone that sounded like he was teaching a boy a lesson.
The leader was not angry, but nodded repeatedly:
"What Mr. Zhao is saying is... I don't care about being a mother. I, as a father, am indeed incompetent..."
Zhao Rang didn't expect that the call he made at random would actually make the leader reflect.
"So the mother-in-law should come forward in this matter, don't you think?"
When the conversation got to this point, Zhao Rang simply struck while the iron was hot.
"Master Zhao is right."
"But her mother has been dead for a long time."
The deceased was the most important person, so Zhao Rang did not make any more teasing remarks.
He vaguely felt that the reason why the leader's daughter left must have a lot to do with the death of her mother. But if he didn't want to talk about such a thing, it would be hard for Zhao Rang to ask.
"So that's it. Mr. Zhao, help me find my daughter, and I will let you all leave."
"You also need to give me a way to eliminate the influence of Tongtian Pill!"
Zhao Rang was worried that the leader would deny it, so he hurriedly explained the conditions clearly.
"Of course, we agreed before."
Zhao Rang still didn't agree immediately. He thought carefully about whether there was anything he had missed, but he actually remembered one.
But this was not for himself, but for Yuan Mingkong.
The conflict between this brother and the leader is irreconcilable. But Zhao Rang can use an expedient strategy to push back the time when the conflict breaks out.
He believed that as long as Yuan Mingkong was given enough time to prepare, he would not be afraid of a mere Shanye Kingdom if he wanted to dominate the northern territory. Even if the four kingdoms come together, they can still be kept out of Yangguan.
I'm just afraid that when the fire is in full swing here, those rebellious people in the South will stab me in the back.
If you are attacked from both sides, it will be really difficult to survive alone.
"I have one more condition!"
Zhao Rang said.
"Master Zhao, please speak!"
"Where is the Gold and Silver Sea? What on earth do you want so many arrows for? I don't believe in the theory that monsters are raging."
Before saying the last condition, Zhao Rang still had a few things to figure out.
"Haha, the sea of gold and silver..."
"Master Zhao, aren't you in the sea of gold and silver?"
Zhao Rang took a look at this water pavilion. It turned out that this was the sea of gold and silver. It seems that Shen Liushu was also deceived by Hong Jiang. He really thought that there was such a magical place in the Western Region, hiding the opportunity to become an immortal.
"The so-called Tongtian Pill is made from stones in the sea of gold and silver. Is it also a lie?"
The leader was a little curious about where Zhao Rang heard this news.
Hong Jiang suddenly interrupted and said:
"Leader, this is what was recorded by the peripheral person developed by my subordinate. Shen Liushu of Tongbao Bank."
The leader nodded, he remembered this person.
Tongbao Bank is such a powerful force, and he can sit in the position of semicolon shopkeeper, and he is also a great helper to the divine sect.
When Hong Jiang went to win over her, the leader specifically told her to be thorough in her acting.
There are only three things that can seduce a man. Women, money, eternal life.
There is no shortage of money, and Hong Jiang is a very charming woman.
Such a charming woman made up a mysterious story, so she won it without any effort.
"My subordinates don't know that Shen Liushu has recorded all of this. Mr. Zhao must have read these records and asked this question."
After Hong Jiang finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Rang very proudly.
The story she made up casually was actually regarded as true by Zhao Rang. This feeling of playing with others at her fingertips greatly satisfied her vanity.
Previously, she was punished to kneel down by the leader in front of Zhao Rang, which made her feel suffocated. Now that she finally exhaled this breath, she felt an indescribable lightness all over her body.
"Arrows are of course prepared for war. The Western Region is short of iron, and even more short of arrows."
"As for the stone used to refine the Tongtian Pill, it is indeed a stone. It is a special stone buried under the ice of the iceberg that has not melted for thousands of years."
The leader explained clearly.
Now everything becomes clear and finally comes to light!
The Taoist priests from Baihe Mountain brought gold and silver to the Western Regions to buy the spices needed for Lu Zu's ascension ceremony, and hired the Jinzhong Escort Bureau as their escort.
At the same time, the Jinzhong Escort Bureau's underground manufacturing plant located in the Merchant Alliance has also completed orders from the divine sect, so it sent the deputy chief escort chief Jin Sanliang to the Western Regions. While escorting the Taoist priests from Baihe Mountain, he could complete the arrow transaction without attracting attention.
Otherwise, Jin Sanliang, as the deputy chief escort of the Admiralty Escort Bureau, is also a well-known figure in the world. Every move he makes is naturally followed by countless pairs of eyes. Coming to the Western Region for no reason may alarm the great power court. But if it's an escort, that's the responsibility of the escort agency.
But neither the Jinzhong Escort Agency nor Jin Sanliang could have imagined that the leader did not want to spend money to buy these arrows, but wanted to use them empty-handed.
If Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong hadn't intervened, Xifeng Lie's strength in the business alliance alone would have been enough to defeat the branch of the Admiralty Escort Agency and the group of Taoist priests in Baihe Mountain.
The intervention of the two of them forced Xifeng Lie to seek help from the Divine Religion.
Although it took some time, they finally achieved their goal, which led Zhao Rang to decide to go deep into the Western Regions with the Yuan Mingkong brothers and sisters to get to the bottom of the matter.
"The leader's plan is really big! Starting from Mr. Wang San, we have stepped in the hole you dug every step of the way."
Zhao Rang sighed.
"Actually, I would also like to thank Mr. Zhao."
"Thank me for what? Thank me for being a fool?"
The leader said:
"Thank you for helping us get rid of the traitors in our teachings."
Zhao Rang raised his eyebrows:
"Are you talking about Anzuo?"
Starting from Mr. Wang San, all the threads converge on Anzuo.
So much so that Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong firmly believed that the arrows, gold and silver must be in Anzuo's hands, and as long as they find him, all this can be solved.
"Yes, I did want to borrow Mr. Zhao's knife to kill Anzuo at first. But I didn't expect that Chagan Toluogai's Shen Liushu would be exposed, which made the plan deviate."
Zhao Rang said coldly:
"You didn't expect that the eldest son of the Ximen family, Ximen Dazhuang, would suddenly appear."
Rather than saying that Shen Liushu was exposed, it was better to say that Ximen Dazhuang was the variable.
No matter how hard the leader calculated, he never expected that this guy would come here from home.
In order to avoid being searched by his family, Ximen Dazhuang went straight to the Western Regions after leaving home, keeping a low profile along the way. Eat the most ordinary meals and stay in the most ordinary inns. Except for being tall and fat, no one can see his true identity.
The two most prominent points became less prominent after he entered the Western Region. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to show off, he can hide himself well in the crowd.
"Yes, Master Ximen did catch him off guard. Otherwise, Anzuo would have died earlier and would have been in less trouble."
If Anzuo died in the hands of a powerful person like Zhao Rang, the leader could just use this to arouse the fighting spirit of Lan Mo Kingdom against Dawei. And without Anzuo, the old king's health was deteriorating. With the help of the religious forces, Amani could naturally take the position of king.
As a result, half of the four countries in the Western Region were controlled by the divine religion.
But now that Anzuo has died in the "Gold and Silver Sea", his father, the ruler of Lan Mo Kingdom, and his tribe may choose to fight to the death with the divine sect.
The leader did not want to expose the religion to the public prematurely when he was not fully prepared.
"If Mr. Zhao still has any questions that you don't understand, you might as well ask them all. I will definitely tell you everything I know."
It doesn't matter if you tell Zhao Rang all these things.
Because Zhao Rang was unable to stop the leader's plan.
He was not worried that Zhao Rang would tell the court all this after returning to Dawei.
Because Dawei was already too busy taking care of himself, he had no spare time to take care of the affairs of the Western Regions.
Not to mention, the leader also has a hidden secret.
Even if the villain says he knows everything, don't believe it. He will definitely hide something about people and things that involve the most critical interests.
"Gone."
Zhao Rang shook his head.
He really didn't have anything else to ask, he already knew everything he wanted to know.
If Ximen Dazhuang was awake, he would definitely ask the leader Zhong Jiaban what role he played in his game. But Zhao Rang didn't care at all.
"Can you tell me your conditions then?"
The leader said.
Zhao Rang took a deep breath and said:
"I promise to help you find your daughter. In addition to the two conditions agreed before, I also want you to promise not to invade Dawei within ten years!"
The leader narrowed his eyes.
According to his plan, ten years would be enough time for him to revive the previous dynasty and restore the old capital.
Zhao Rang opened his mouth like this, I have to say that he is indeed very brave.
"Impossible. Mr. Zhao, please give me another one."
Zhao Rang asked:
"Don't you want your daughter anymore?"
The leader smiled and said:
"Don't you want your friend alive?"
"Besides, daughters can have more babies..."
"But there will always be only one in the world!" 1
