41. The Great War Begins(1/2)
The Zhao family seems very busy and anxious today. Even the servants who usually like to be lazy are cleaning a little faster than usual today because today is a big day for the Zhao family to worship their ancestors. It is raining heavily.
A somewhat aloof atmosphere filled with desire.
The head of the Zhao family hurried to a room and said, "Ancestor, Ancestor..."
"Come in," the Zhao family ancestor's unhurried voice came.
"Are you all ready?" asked the ancestor.
"I have arranged all the expenses needed for ancestor worship, including cattle, sheep, melons and fruits, and they are on their way now," said the head of the Zhao family.
"Ancestor, is this what I want to hear?" the ancestor of the Zhao family asked in a low voice.
The head of the Zhao family was excited and said immediately, "Reporting to my ancestor, I am only worried about those children under ten years old. There are about one hundred and eighty, I don't know..."
"Although I didn't say much, it was okay." The ancestor of the Zhao family was still thinking about something in his eyes.
"My direct descendants of the Zhao family, as well as the dead soldiers raised by my Zhao family, have already been dispatched. They have dug a secret tunnel near the ancestral land of my Zhao family, and have laid an ambush early, waiting for the order from our ancestors!" The head of the Zhao family!
And added.
"Although this matter is now known to everyone on the road, the Zhao family's ancestor worship is just a cover. Everyone is staring at the treasure inside, but we are uniquely endowed. The accumulation of nearly two hundred years is comparable to others!" Zhao
The ancestor of the family said.
"But if we make such a move, we will completely break up with the City Lord's Mansion, and will invisibly confront all the Jianghu gangs. There will be a battle when the time comes." The head of the Zhao family said.
"No problem!"
Suddenly he seemed to think of something very important, and asked again, "I heard that City Lord Zheng went out during this period and took some children with him, right?"
"Yes, ancestor, the spies reported that City Master Zheng went to Hengduan Holy Mountain and came back not long after. Those children came back from Hengduan Holy Mountain." The head of the Zhao family said truthfully.
"God is really helping me!" the ancestor of the Zhao family couldn't help but say.
"Ancestor, why do you say this?" asked the head of the Zhao family.
"Do you still remember that mysterious person is hiding in Hengduan Shenshan? Then City Lord Zheng most likely went to find him to bring bad luck, hahahaha..." The ancestor of the Zhao family couldn't help but laugh, "Those children should also be the target of that mysterious person.
All those captured have been rescued by City Lord Zheng, so now we have children in our hands. Although we don’t know what their use is, this is a trump card in our hands that no one else has and only we have. It really increases our chances of winning.
!”
"As expected, my ancestor's eyes were as bright as a torch. When I heard what my ancestor said in detail, it was City Master Zheng who was really helping my Zhao family!" said the head of the Zhao family.
"Then, ancestor, let's set off now."
The ancestor of the Zhao family waved his hand and said, "You will lead the Zhao family's clan members and direct relatives to go together. It will attract the attention of everyone in the world on the bright side. Ancestor, I will go in secret, so that I will not be noticed by others."
There is an opportunity!"
"I will obey my ancestor's decree!" The head of the Zhao family took the order and left.
After he left, the ancestor of the Zhao family kept sitting in his seat and refused to leave. Sometimes he frowned, and then he smiled happily. If someone didn't know better, they would think that the ancestor of the Zhao family was crazy!
The ancestor of the Zhao family sat on the Grand Master's chair and murmured to himself, "Thirteen realms of mortal world, one realm for fifty years! Xiantian, Grandmaster, Grandmaster, Golden Pill, Zifu..."
"Purple Mansion"!
"If I take one step further and enter the Purple Mansion Realm, I will be able to add another fifty years to my life. How many fifty years are there in my life?"
"In the Purple Mansion Realm, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent person"!
The ancestor of the Zhao family couldn't help but secretly bet everything on it!
The Zhao family's vast collection of ancestor worship items was dragged one cart after another. They were banging and banging all the way through the streets and alleys. The sound of monks chanting sutras continued to linger on the street corners...
There was an old man with gray hair, hiding in the dark with a gloomy face, looking at the Zhao family with a curse, and couldn't help but whisper,
"The star card serves as a matchmaker, guiding the treasures. Those things that have no owner can be found by anyone who is destined to do so!"
"The Zhao family has really tricked me! Do you still think everyone is a fool? Are you really going to worship your ancestors?" This person is no one else. He is really the Wujizi of the Shenyi Sect. He risked his life to steal a star tablet.
It was delivered to the head of the Zhao family in exchange for some Yuan Xi Dan!
The words of the head of the Zhao family still ring in his ears from time to time, "This star tablet is just an ordinary thing. I thought the pattern was a bit rare, so I asked fellow Taoist Wujizi to play with it. After playing with it, I found some Yuanxi Dan here.
When you make friends with fellow Taoists..."
The star tablet is a medium of chance, but he was actually deceived by the head of the Zhao family. It must be because of the star tablet that he encountered the siege of the Heavenly Demon Palace. He managed to use secret techniques to escape from death and sacrificed several disciples.
, then rushed to Zhao’s house and presented the star plaque!
“I really kicked the ass!”
It was unbearable, and Wujizi had the urge to go and chop off the head of the Zhao family's head.
Now he can only hide among the crowd, go together to see the birth of this treasure, and want to try his luck again...
Some beggars were scurrying among the crowd, and they could be seen everywhere. Some were accompanying the Zhao family's ancestor worship team, some had already rushed to the ancestor worship place early to wait, and some ran directly to the ruined temple...
"Report to Elder Qian, the Zhao family is leaving!" A beggar ran into the ruined temple.
"Oh, that's good, that's good," Elder Qian said.
"How are the two guardians, White Horse and Black Ox, doing?" Elder Qian asked.
"Back to the elder, the two guardians of Baima and Hei Niu have arrived at the Zhao family's ancestral land in advance and arranged the corresponding manpower arrangements. We are just waiting for the elder to go there." the beggar said.
Elder Qian had no intention of leaving at all. He waved to the beggar to leave, and he walked anxiously up and down the slope again.
"The star card serves as a matchmaker and guides the treasure..."
"This snake king has been gone for a day and a night and there is no news at all. Didn't he steal the star card from the escort agency Jiuzhou Lutou?"
"Report..."!
"Quickly, let him in quickly!" Elder Qian walked directly to the entrance of the ruined temple and welcomed the beggar who reported the news in.
"what's the situation"?
The beggar said out of breath, "I just heard the news from the escort agency Jiuzhou. The escort agency Jiuzhou's Lu Touzi and the thirty-one-room concubine he just took died tragically in the new house! The escort agency Jiuzhou issued a reward in the world.
Ten million taels to track down the murderer!"
"Is there any news?" Elder Qian asked again.
The beggar who reported the news was puzzled and said, "No more, that's all Elder Qian has!"
"You're such a waste, get out of here!"
The beggar ran away crawling...
"Snake King, Snake King, you didn't run away with the Star Card, did you? Don't forget that your sister is still in my hand!" Elder Qian said with a cold look in his eyes.
Elder Qian continued to guess, "It is unlikely that he would be able to hide the treasure alone. Besides, he has someone in my hands as a hostage. He must be unable to help himself and not be able to come back."
At this time, another beggar came to Elder Qian's ear mysteriously, and he walked quickly to the backyard. There was a corpse on the ground. Even if he was not smiling, you could still see his white teeth.
The body lying on the ground is not the Thief Snake King, so who else could it be?
"Is there anything on him?" Elder Qian asked quickly.
"Elder, I searched carefully when I came here, but there was nothing," said the beggar who brought the Snake King in.
"How did you die?" Elder Qian looked at the body of the Snake King and felt extremely sorry. My star tablet, my treasure!
"The long knife passed through the chest from the back, killing him with one blow!"
"Forget it, take his body down and bury it. Don't let others find out and spread the news that the Snake King rebelled and fled," Elder Qian said softly.
"What about his sister?" the beggar asked again.
Elder Qian looked at him and said with a charming smile, "If you like it, I'll reward you!"
"Thank you, elder, for the reward!"
"Thank you, elder, for the reward!"
The beggar carried the body of the Snake King down with a lot of gratitude. Elder Qian cursed, "It's really more than success, more than failure. I can't even get a star tablet, so what's the use of you!"
At this time, Elder Qian didn't have a single star card in his hand. He really didn't want to go to the Zhao family's ancestral land. After all, Elder Qian has always been a cautious person. He would not do anything with extremely high risks and small returns.
Go do it!
Cruel enough, stubborn enough, ruthless enough, these are the rules of survival for Elder Qian when he is wandering around the world!
At this time, he rushed out and called out, "Come here, tell the two guardians, White Horse and Black Ox, that if the Zhao family's treasure appears and you look for an opportunity to snatch it, you must not be the first to take action. Remember it, remember it!"
"Follow the orders of the elders"!
"Elder, when will you come over?"
"I am the elder, I have been worrying so much about my Beggar Clan's plan to obtain treasures recently, and I have not rested for several days. I will..." Elder Qian fainted and fell to the ground before he finished speaking...
"Someone is coming"!
"Go and call the doctor!"
"Elder Qian really dedicated his life to our Beggar Clan and died. He is truly a role model for all the brothers of our Beggar Clan"!
The Bingzhou City Lord's Mansion felt the pressure doubled because Chu Ning had taken away a thousand soldiers, and the deployment of manpower was dwarfed by it. The master couldn't help but said, "I'm reporting to the Lord of the City, the Zhao family has started to go to worship their ancestors, shall we set off?"
