"Now is not the time, please wait."
Zhao Yongqi could only shirk the blame with a smile.
It's not that he hates Zhao Yongwen, it's mainly because he has too many secrets in his family, and he instinctively doesn't want anyone to get too close to him.
to him.
It doesn’t really matter who the Taoist companion is.
He has already thought about it. He wants to have a higher starting point in the next life, not mainly for himself, but for the entire Zhao family.
After all, he only has three spiritual roots, which is actually inconspicuous in the entire world of immortality. Most of the Zhao family members have his bloodline. As long as they can advance to a higher level, children with excellent qualifications will naturally be born.
He only needs to focus on cultivating these tribesmen with excellent spiritual roots.
And if the Zhao family can develop to a point where it will not be easily wiped out, then his starting point in the next life will definitely be higher than in this life.
"That......"
In front of outsiders, Zhao Yongwen was generous and articulate.
But when she was around Zhao Yongqi, especially when alone, she could not help but feel a little timid. Her eyes fell on the gray-black floor, her tone was complicated, and she was a little hesitant to say anything, but she was unwilling to say anything: "Well, still How long will it take?”
"Brother Fourteen, do you think I'm not as beautiful as Zhao Fuyu?"
She mustered up the courage to finish speaking at once, then suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhao Yongqi with her bright black eyes without blinking.
If you observe carefully.
You can also see some moisture in this woman's eyes.
"Where are you thinking?"
Seeing her like this, Zhao Yong felt pity for her. He walked up to her and smoothed her hair with his hands: "Mei Wen is of course the most beautiful, but the Zhao family has just stabilized now. Let's wait for some time." OK."
"Uh-huh......"
Zhao Yongwen smiled happily and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
The reason why she always doesn't deal with Zhao Fuyu is because of the woman's sixth sense. She always feels that Zhao Yongqi pays attention to the latter from time to time, and Zhao Fuyu does have an alluring look, coupled with that cold and elegant temperament Temperament, even if they are both women, Zhao Yongwen has to admit that the other party is indeed more attractive than herself.
...
Five days later.
The Zhao family caravan began to set off.
The development of the Zhao family is reflected in all aspects, not only the increase in the number of monks and cultivation, but even the original twenty-year-old ironwood carriage has been updated to a fifty-year-old ironwood carriage.
The mortals who guarded the caravan were hundreds of innate warriors.
And they also specially practiced a certain battle formation. After these more than a hundred innate warriors formed a formation, it was effortless to deal with those low-level monsters whose strength was in the early stages of Qi training.
However, it is somewhat powerless to deal with monks.
After all, low-level monsters have very low intelligence, but not monks. People can kite these warriors from a distance, so the effectiveness of warriors is still limited.
The caravan is full of monks and innate warriors.
The pace was naturally very fast, and by the time evening came around, I had already walked more than 200 miles. This was because I had to deal with a wave of birds and monsters on the road, otherwise my speed could have been much faster.
"Brother Fourteen, ten miles ahead is Huilan Mountain, which is the territory of the Xiong family."
In the spacious carriage, Zhao Yongwen held a map and pointed lightly on it with her fingers.
It looks like an ordinary carriage on the outside, but it is extremely luxurious on the inside. It is decorated with ivory and antelope horns and can accommodate five or six people without being crowded. There is a bearskin carpet under the feet, and there is a simple round wooden box the size of a palm in the corner. , the calming, colorless Zen fragrance floats out from the wooden box.
"Xiong family..."
Zhao Yongqi nodded slightly, then stood up: "Let's go, the Xiong family should be waiting in front."
There was a pause.
He looked at the other woman in the carriage and said, "Fuyu, if you don't want to meet outsiders, just stay in the carriage and don't come out."
"Thank you, patriarch."
Zhao Fuyu was about to get off the carriage, but when he heard these words, he shrank back.
The smile on Zhao Yongqi's face became even brighter. As a qualified clan leader, he was able to accurately grasp the psychology of his clan members, which was one of his few interesting things.
...
"The front is the Weishan Zhao family."
Not long after, dozens of monks appeared in front of the motorcade blocking the road, and they asked questions loudly from a distance.
"Exactly."
The person who answered was Zhao Chongyi. After Zhao Chongxiu left the caravan, Zhao Chongyi gradually became the new talker of the caravan. His current cultivation level is at the tenth level of Qi training. Although he is not the highest cultivation level in the caravan, he is the oldest. of.
"Ha ha ha ha......"
"The Zhao clan has come a long way, so please hurry up to Huilan Mountain to talk about it."
After confirming identity.
I saw dozens of monks on the opposite side flickering, and in less than ten breaths, they crossed a distance of dozens of feet and arrived in front of the Zhao family's motorcade.
The leader is a sturdy and tall foundation-building monk.
In addition to this foundation-building monk, there are two other foundation-building monks among these ten people. It can be seen that in southern Xinjiang, even if they are both ninth-grade families, the Zhao family is still at the bottom.
"Excuse me, Chief Xiong, but it's already getting late. The Zhao family can just set up camp on the spot and won't go up the mountain to bother us."
In the Zhao family's motorcade.
It was Zhao Yongqi and Great Elder Zhao Deguang who came forward.
The reason why they met the Xiong family here was actually something that had been arranged long ago. Over the years, the Zhao family has become more and more powerful, and has gradually developed some friendship with the surrounding ninth-grade clans. This time, they were discussing Weishan. The Zhao family, the Xiong family of Huilan Mountain, and the He family of Cangru Mountain went to the Qianzhong Alliance together.
The three families can barely be regarded as verbally agreed allies.
After all, there are hundreds of clans participating in the Foundation Building Conference, not only the ninth-grade clans, but also the eighth-grade clans like Qingsong Valley. In order to compete with the eighth-grade clans, these small clans will naturally form alliances with each other.
But this so-called alliance is fragile.
It is impossible for Zhao Yongqi to drag so many people to Huilan Mountain.
These are the core strengths of the Zhao family. Although it is unlikely, if the Xiong family has thoughts that are unfavorable to the Zhao family, they will fall into a trap.
To know.
The mastermind behind Bai Luo Dao has not been found out until now.
Although it is rumored that he is related to Qingsonggu.
But rumors are just rumors, and Zhao Yongqi cannot 100% believe these rumors.
"Ha ha."
Xiong Zhanmo, the head of the Xiong family.
I have long heard that he always laughs to welcome people, and today he is indeed well-deserved. Ever since he saw Zhao Yongqi, he has laughed loudly from time to time: "I have long heard that Patriarch Zhao is a young and talented man, and today I have seen him and his reputation is well-deserved."
Say it.
He turned his eyes and looked at the person next to Zhao Yongqi: "Presumably, this fellow Taoist is the elder of the Zhao family."
"Clan Leader Bear has given you the award."
Zhao Yongqi treated him as a junior, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant.
Different from when he first came to southern Xinjiang, the Zhao family now also has a foundation-building monk. Although there is only one, he is also qualified to talk to other ninth-grade clans on an equal footing.
It's not like when they faced the Spirit Snake Sect, they didn't even dare to compete with them for their ninth-grade spiritual veins. If the Zhao family had been as powerful as it is now, the matter of ninth-grade spiritual veins would never have been so easy.
