Twenty-seven days later.
The foot of Weishan Mountain.
The Zhao family caravan is preparing to set off.
There are more than thirty special carriages in total, all made of ironwood from trees that are more than twenty years old. The ironwood carriages are very strong and hard. At critical moments, the carriages can be turned over and used as giant shields. The carriages are not ordinary horses. It’s the “black wildebeest”, a specialty of southern Xinjiang.
An adult black wildebeest is more than twice the size of an average horse.
It has black scales on its chest, abdomen and back, and has an inch-long horn on its head, hence the name black wildebeest. Its strength is more than three times that of ordinary horses. Although its speed is not fast, it is not inferior to ordinary horses. It is an livestock that all caravans like to use.
around the convoy.
There were nearly a hundred mortals riding black wildebeests to protect them.
These mortals are all martial arts masters, most of them are masters in the innate realm. Even if they are not innate, they definitely have their own uniqueness.
"Uncle, it's a long way to go. If something unexpected happens, the safety of the Zhao clan must be our top priority. The spirit stone is something external to us."
The rear of the caravan.
Zhao Yongqi was saying his final farewell to the great elder.
"I know."
The great elder nodded: "The patriarch is in charge of the family, so he must be careful in everything and not be careless."
The two exchanged pleasantries.
The great elder suddenly appeared on the carriage in the center. His calm voice spread throughout the audience: "Let's go!"
The motorcade moved slowly and gradually moved away.
Zhao Yongqi watched the caravan leave until it completely disappeared from sight, then said to the monks following him: "Let's go back too."
Zhao Chongfeng was also by his side.
During these days, the Great Elder followed Zhao Chongfeng and Zhao Chongshan respectively while practicing. Surprisingly, only the contact between Zhao Chongfeng and Feng Banxi was captured, but Zhao Chongshan did not reveal any flaws from beginning to end.
Zhao Yongqi made a preliminary judgment.
The two of them were probably not in the same group. Zhao Chongfeng, Feng Banxi and other casual cultivators were colluding together, while Zhao Chongshan didn't know which force planted the secret.
He didn't intend to expose it either.
The hidden child that he has already known not only poses no threat, but may actually help the Zhao family.
Just like Zhao Chongfeng this time.
...
Return to the quiet room.
Zhao Yongqi did not practice directly, but silently thought about his plan to lure the snake out of the cave, wondering if there was anything he needed to add.
first.
According to the intelligence from Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Chongfeng.
It has probably been determined that as long as the caravan is a certain distance away from Weishan, that is when the Yuan surnamed Jiji starts. In recent days, the caravan has not been far from Weishan, so there is no need to worry too much for the time being.
The great elder's side.
After arriving at the predetermined location, the Great Elder will abandon the caravan and sneak back to Weishan in secret.
There will be several reliable confidants in the caravan who will continue to pretend that the Great Elder is still in the caravan and hide the whereabouts of the Great Elder. However, this kind of cover-up will not last long. It can be hidden for about half a month even if the acting is good.
in addition.
Zhao Yongqi also used thousands of spirit stones to purchase five thousand-mile transmission notes and gave one to the great elder. If there is a change in the plan, as long as the two are still within a thousand miles, they can be notified in time.
Originally, he wanted to buy the Wanli Telecommunication Talisman.
Although it will cost at least several thousand spirit stones, the transmission of information is more guaranteed. However, what I didn't expect was that this Wanli Transmission Talisman was also a priceless item, and no merchant could be found selling it in a short period of time.
I can only give up.
Inside Weishan.
All the ninth-grade arrays arranged by Zhao Yongqi have been tested and can be activated at any time.
Li Yuntian also set up the "Luo Bing's God Array" in the Weishan Palace. This is an eighth-grade murderous formation that can pose a certain threat to the monks in the early stages of foundation building. If the elder does not arrive in time, Luo Bing's God Array will also be the Zhao family's. The security of the monks.
There is also the deployment of personnel.
There were no monks who were observed by Zhao Yongqi in Weishan Hall that day.
Except for those who are still practicing hard in seclusion and those who have just awakened their spiritual roots. The remaining 18 people were either temporarily transferred to idle positions such as the spiritual field or medicine field, or found other reasons to be sent out. In short, they were not allowed to be in key positions.
Only Zhao Chongfeng.
Even though they knew his identity, they did not easily manipulate him and let him remain in the position of the Mountain Guard Deacon.
...
in this way.
Eight days later.
Zhao Yongqi was sitting cross-legged in meditation when his expression suddenly changed and his eyes suddenly opened.
He bent his left hand slightly and made a strange seal. With a slight movement of his mind, the small Ruyi Bell Array immediately cracked into gaps.
next moment.
He saw a few inches of red flames appearing in front of Zhao Yongqi.
"The minimum is three spirit stones, the maximum is five spirit stones."
As the flames jumped, a deep male voice came out.
This is Bai Zhengyi's disguised voice.
Zhao Yongqi's eyes flashed and he understood immediately.
"The other party is planning to take action in three days, no more than five days at the latest."
Thinking about this time, the Great Elder should also be preparing to return. To be on the safe side, Zhao Yongqi still used the Thousand Miles Transmission Symbol and asked the Great Elder's location in code.
Telephone notes can also be intercepted.
So when doing such secretive things, you must not explain everything clearly in the transmission notes.
then.
Zhao Yongqi did not continue to practice. He got up and went out to the place where Zhao Chongxue lived.
"Meet the clan leader."
Zhao Fuyu and Zhao Yongwen happened to be practicing magic in the courtyard. Zhao Fuyu was the first to notice Zhao Yongqi's arrival, and immediately bowed and paid homage respectfully.
Zhao Yongwen was not so polite. She ran to Zhao Yongqi with a sweet smile and hugged his arm: "Brother Fourteen, are you here to see me?"
After saying that.
She also glanced at Zhao Fuyu, as if she was declaring sovereignty.
Zhao Fuyu is much more stable.
With an elegant smile on her face, her long black hair cascading down her shoulders, she stood quietly, unable to tell what was going on in her mind.
Since Zhao Mu disappeared, Zhao Fuyu has matured at a speed visible to the naked eye. It's better in front of acquaintances like Zhao Yongqi, but she is like an iceberg in front of outsiders. Sometimes even Zhao Yongqi can't guess what she is thinking. He couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and he didn't know whether this change was a good thing or a bad thing.
If there is a chance, I should have a good talk with this woman.
Paying attention to the physical and mental health of his clan members is also what he, the clan leader, has to do, not to mention that Zhao Fuyu is still a "genius" among the younger generation.
Zhao Yongqi was thinking this in his heart, but he didn't miss anything on his face: "I came to see Aunt Chongxue. I wonder if she is at home."
The words fell.
Zhao Chongxue just walked out of the house and said with a smile: "Clan leader, if you have anything to do, come in and talk."
Zhao Yongqi is incompetent.
Entering the house, he glared at Zhao Yongwen who was following behind him: "Go out and practice magic."
"yes."
Zhao Yongwen was also happy when she saw him, so she followed him into the house unknowingly. Only then did she realize that there were some things that she couldn't listen to, and she quickly retreated out.
She had experienced many such things when she was with the third elder. Sometimes the third elder would kick her out when meeting others, so she was used to it.
