After Shen Luoyan left, Zhao Mingyuan came back to his senses and dealt with the Xiang family and his son.
In fact, the two of them were still rolling and squirming on the ground, already unconscious.
Naturally, nothing can be asked in this state.
Zhao Mingyuan had to control the acupoints of both of them and feed them the antidote, and the two of them gradually recovered.
When the two regained their consciousness, they began to take the initiative to explain, and they knew everything about Zhao Mingyuan's questions.
This is because, now that they know that Zhao Mingyuan will not let them go, they are certain to die. After experiencing the torture of the life and death talisman, they no longer want to do it again. Now they just want to die quickly, so naturally they are willing to say anything.
Zhao Mingyuan interrogated the two of them in detail and asked a lot of things.
As expected, their Xiang family was born into a demonic family. And not only the Xiang family, but even Xiao Xian from the Baling Gang is also a member of the Demon Sect.
Or, it should be said that the Baling Gang is the peripheral force of the Demon Sect.
The Baling Gang even has a special mission, which is to find talented children and provide suitable disciples for various sects of the Demon Sect.
Alas, the Demon Gate is indeed a Demon Gate.
Perhaps, at the beginning, they were indeed the losers of a hundred schools of thought who huddled together for warmth. But gradually, they became more and more extreme and evil. Nowadays, they are indeed demons.
The two factions of the Demon Sect, the Six Paths, may not have done many evil things, but many gangs like the Baling Gang have been sheltered by them. Then the sins they committed will naturally be counted on their heads.
Don’t mention the Demon Sect in advance. However, after learning something done by the Baling Gang from the Xiang family and his son, Zhao Mingyuan knew that the Baling Gang must be eliminated.
As for whether the Demon Sect would go against Zhao Mingyuan because of this, he couldn't care less. Anyway, with the way the Demon Sect works, it will be sooner or later for them to oppose Zhao Mingyuan, no less.
After the Xiang family's father and son had finished explaining, Zhao Mingyuan kept his promise and gave them a happy ending to their sinful life.
It was already late at night, and Zhao Mingyuan did not leave just yet. Instead, he found a room to stay in the Cuibi upstairs.
This Cuibi Building was originally a gold-selling den, a place where people could spend a lot of money, so it was not difficult to find a comfortable place to live. Zhao Mingyuan lived here.
Early the next morning, as soon as Zhao Mingyuan opened the door, he saw a woman holding a sword standing on both sides of the door.
Apparently, they were always guarding him outside the door.
When they saw Zhao Mingyuan coming out, the two women bowed and said, "Master Zhao, please come this way!"
Well, word travels fast. What happened last night, early this morning, I don't know when they came.
Sure enough, these forces cannot be underestimated.
Although Zhao Mingyuan deliberately stayed here for a night to attract people's attention and divert the eyes of Shen Luoyan. But he didn't expect that they would come so quickly.
Although I don’t know which force they belong to, judging from their appearance. Obviously, they already knew roughly what happened last night.
They know that their martial arts have reached the master level, so they are so polite.
If not, I'm afraid they wouldn't have waited for Zhao Mingyuan to wake up. Instead, he should have rushed in long ago, put a sword on his neck and asked questions.
No matter what the reason was, since they treated each other with courtesy, Zhao Mingyuan naturally agreed to go down with them.
Zhao Mingyuan has always been this kind of person. If you respect me a foot, I will give you a foot in return.
Of course, if you are malicious towards me, don't regret it when I retaliate.
Zhao Mingyuan followed the two women to a living room downstairs.
I saw a man sitting in it, with a man bun on his head, a white hero scarf, and a sword on his waist.
But even though she was dressed like this, Zhao Mingyuan could easily tell that she was a woman.
Just because of her jade face, red lips, and shiny black hair, her fair complexion accentuated her jade bones and icy skin, making her extremely attractive.
Her appearance and beauty are by no means inferior to Shen Luoyan's, and she looks even more delicate and youthful.
Seeing Zhao Mingyuan come in, she bowed and said, "Mr. Zhao, Shan Wanjing from the Dongming Sect is polite."
It turns out that she is the little princess of the Dongming Sect. No wonder she is so stunning. She really deserves her reputation.
The two exchanged a few words and then quickly got down to business.
Shan Wanjing said eloquently: "I heard that yesterday, in this Cuibi Building, someone sold the account books of my Dongming Sect."
Zhao Mingyuan nodded and said: "It is true."
Shan Wanjing continued: "The account book fell into the hands of Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Mingyuan still nodded and said, "Yes. That account book is destined to me."
Shan Wanjing couldn't help but feel surprised after hearing Zhao Mingyuan's words.
When she got the news about the account book, she immediately led people to this place. I didn't expect to be able to stop Zhao Mingyuan, thinking that he had already left. I just came here to ask Xianggui and his son what was going on.
Unexpectedly, when she came to Cuibi Tower, she found that Xianggui and his son had been killed by Zhao Mingyuan. Moreover, Xianggui and his son were obviously subjected to inhuman torture before their deaths. Zhao Mingyuan must have tortured them.
What made her even more unexpected was that after doing all this, Zhao Mingyuan did not leave, but instead stayed in Cuibi Building.
Now, if the information they got is correct, the account book is now in Zhao Mingyuan's hands. They don't have to run around anymore, they can just ask Zhao Mingyuan for it.
Knowing that Zhao Mingyuan's martial arts was unexpectedly good and that he was able to defeat Du Fuwei with one move, he was obviously at the level of a master.
Mrs. Dongming was not here, so she naturally did not dare to offend him lightly. They just asked people to wait outside the door and see Zhao Mingyuan again after he got up.
Shan Wanjing originally thought that Zhao Mingyuan would evade it many times. Unexpectedly, when faced with her question, Zhao Mingyuan directly answered that the account book was indeed in his hands.
Therefore, Shan Wanjing couldn't help but said happily: "In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Zhao. The account book is of great importance. I hope Mr. Zhao can return it to its original owner. Wanjing thanks him for that."
Zhao Mingyuan asked curiously: "Huh? When did I say that I would give you the account books, why did I thank you first?"
Shan Wanjing couldn't help feeling angry after hearing Zhao Mingyuan's words. However, she thought that Zhao Mingyuan was trying to repay a favor and wanted some benefits.
Suddenly, Shan Wanjing was extremely contemptuous of Zhao Mingyuan's character.
But thinking that the account book matter was extremely important to their Dongming sect, Shan Wanjing suppressed her anger and said, "Since Wanjing said she wanted to thank Mr. Zhao, she certainly wouldn't mean it in vain.
Since Xianggui said yesterday that this account book would be sold for ten thousand taels of gold, I, the Dongming Sect, will give it as a gift of ten thousand taels of gold. What does Mr. Zhao think? "
In this regard, Zhao Mingyuan just said: "I think what Xianggui said is very reasonable. This is not a question of money or not. It depends on fate."
Shan Wanjing thought that Zhao Mingyuan was not greedy enough. He thought that he was sure to win over their Dongming faction, and he still didn't want ten thousand taels of gold.
So she said angrily: "Then how can Mr. Zhao return the property to its original owner? Just ask for anything you want!"
Zhao Mingyuan said: "I said, it depends on fate."
Shan Wanjing said angrily: "Master Zhao, are you determined to be an enemy of our Dongming sect?"
Faced with Shan Wanjing's threat, Zhao Mingyuan said: "Miss Shan's words make me very unhappy.
Did I steal this account book?
Did I steal it from your Dongming Sect?
Isn't it?
Even if it was lost by your Dongming sect, whoever stole it should be looked for by you!
I got this account book by fate and it has nothing to do with you Dongming Sect. I can do whatever I want! "
Shan Wanjing was furious. She was used to being coquettish in the Dongming Sect. In a fit of anger, she actually drew her sword and stabbed Zhao Mingyuan.
Her swordsmanship is light and graceful, like a falling flower leaving no trace. Coupled with her bodywork like a swimming fish, her moves are invisible and dreamlike, making it difficult for her opponents to detect the direction of her moves.
But such a sword technique was gently pinched by Zhao Mingyuan's two fingers.
Shan Wanjing's sword is naturally extremely sharp, cutting iron like clay. Unexpectedly, it was pinched firmly by Zhao Mingyuan's two fingers.
Shan Wanjing couldn't help but be shocked. Could it be that his fingers were made of iron? He was taking such a risk.
Before Shan Wanjing finished thinking, she saw Zhao Mingyuan move two fingers forward. She felt a strong force coming from her. Shan Wanjing couldn't help but take a few steps back until she sat on the chair behind her. Just exhausted.
Shan Wanjing finally calmed down and realized that Zhao Mingyuan's martial arts was far beyond what she could compare with.
If Zhao Mingyuan didn't have any ill intentions, as long as he applied a little force just now, the hilt of the sword would hit her chest, causing her serious injury or even death.
Finally realizing that Zhao Mingyuan was a strong master, and thinking about the appearance of the Xiang family father and son, Shan Wanjing's face turned pale, and she no longer dared to be coquettish and willful.
However, when she thought that Zhao Mingyuan had no ill intentions, she gradually understood. Perhaps Zhao Mingyuan still wants benefits, just not gold or silver.
Thinking again about the business done by their Dongming sect, Shan Wanjing understood that Zhao Mingyuan wanted to gain the support of their Dongming sect and get more weapons.
However, after these actions, Shan Wanjing did not have the confidence to face Zhao Mingyuan. Knowing that discussing this matter now, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, Shan Wanjing said: "The little girl was rude just now. In this case, can you please come to our Dongming No. 1, Mr. Zhao. Let Jiasi come and talk to Mr. Zhao to see what it takes to get the account book back?"
Seeing that Shan Wanjing finally realized the problem, Zhao Mingyuan smiled again and said, "I have admired the name of Mrs. Dongming for a long time. I even heard that Dongming sent many skilled craftsmen to spend the time on the Dongming. The large ship that has been built over many years is known as the best sea ship in the world, and I would like to see it."
After hearing what Zhao Mingyuan said, Shan Wanjing was quite proud, but she still pretended to be humble and said: "No, the Dongming is still a little behind the Sui Dynasty's Five Tooth Ship."
Zhao Mingyuan said: "The Five-Tooth Ship is indeed powerful, but unfortunately it can only do evil in inland rivers. The Dongming can travel far across the ocean, but it is not comparable to the Five-Tooth Ship."
Although Shan Wanjing didn't know why Zhao Mingyuan praised sea ships so much, she was very happy to be praised. I thought to myself, it seems that the account book matter is secure.
So Shan Wanjing took Zhao Mingyuan to the seaside and boarded the Dongming docked there.
Ask for leave in advance for tomorrow.
I was supposed to go home today, but unfortunately I didn't buy a ticket. When I go back tomorrow, you don’t have to wait any longer. There will be a day off tomorrow.
