Chapter 140 Plan Implementation
Qingyangke still didn’t understand why Master Lu would let him go. What exactly did he want him to do?
Qingyangke was eating and drinking tea to replenish his energy, but he was quite puzzled.
Of course, even if he didn't know the reason, he felt that it was a good thing that he was able to survive. At least he still had value to be used, unlike his brothers, whose bodies were now cold.
Last night he hid in the cave and felt his back for a long time with his hands. He did feel a scar and a bulge as big as a baby's fist. It seemed that something was buried in the flesh.
Why did Master Lu bury... Wait, it might not be Master Lu who buried it, could it be his men?
For example, his subordinates wanted to swallow this so-called Daoxian Ticket?
No, no, no...it doesn't make sense no matter how I think about it. If he really wanted to embezzle it, there's no need to bury it in his body. Wouldn't it be better to hide it somewhere else?
I am increasingly confused.
After disguising himself, Qingyangke wandered around Suzhou City for a long time and obtained a lot of information related to himself. Then, before nightfall, he left the city and hid in the mountains.
He wrapped thick strips of cloth around his waist and back, trying to prevent the "magic weapon" on his back from being exposed.
Then he planned to go to Bianjing City.
Because he had a trusted confidante there, so he went to hide with her for a while and asked her to help him take out the thing on his back.
He kept this confidante very secretive and never even mentioned her to his brothers. I guess no one in this world knows about this.
As for the fact that he could get a thousand taels of gold by reporting the "whereabouts of Master Lu", he did not consider it for the time being. If he reported it himself, it would be "surrendering himself". Many people wanted to catch him and get the immortal ticket, or wanted to use him as a gift to make friends with Master Lu.
Let someone you trust report it?
It would be easy for them to find him out, so he would never do such a stupid thing.
After making up his mind, Qingyangke left Suzhou City and headed towards Bianjing City.
At the same time, in Hangzhou City, after Zhao Zonghua finished his affairs, he sat quietly in the backyard of his home, drinking bitter tea and watching the clouds floating by in the sky.
Although it is late autumn, the city of Hangzhou is not that cold, it just seems a little cool.
After more than a year of drifting on the sea, he has become much darker, but also looks much more mature.
After a trip to the Spice Islands, he helped his family earn a lot of money. The Prince of Runan wrote a letter in the capital to praise him, which made him extremely happy.
After doing something big, my horizons broadened and I no longer looked down upon the usual small things and small businesses.
Just stay at home and recuperate now, and see if there is anything better to do .
Zhao Zonghua had also heard about Master Lu, or the theft at his brother-in-law's house. Although he was worried about his brother-in-law and wanted to help, he had no way or means to help. He didn't even know where his brother-in-law's house was hidden, so he was powerless and could only wait.
The Daoxian Coupon sounds like a good thing, so how could it be stolen?
My sister is so careless.
That’s right... He didn’t think it was Lu Sen’s fault. Instead, he felt it was his sister’s fault for not helping his brother-in-law to take care of the family.
Thinking about this, he was feeling depressed when he heard the housekeeper come to report: "Young Master, there are strangers visiting outside, and they don't look like good people. But they have the token of the Zhao Mansion in their hands."
"Oh, please ask someone to come to the main hall, I will go and meet them."
As long as you hold the token with the word Zhao on it, you can meet him no matter who he is. This is the rule of the Zhao family.
When Zhao Zonghua arrived at the main hall, he saw two men in black standing in front of the hall, straight as pine trees.
When they saw Zhao Zonghua appear, they simply bowed their hands as a greeting, and were very arrogant.
"Is this a death warrior? Or a family general?"
Zhao Zonghua's vision is not bad now, so he can naturally see that the aura of the two people in front of him is not like that of ordinary soldiers, but like family generals who have undergone a lot of special training.
It’s just that my Zhao family doesn’t seem to have a camp of death warriors dressed in black.
He was secretly on guard in his heart, then sat down on the chair and said, "Which branch of my brother's family are you two holding my Zhao family tokens?"
One of the men in black bowed and said, "We are here on the orders of the Second Madam to invite Young Master Zhao to come over for a chat. They said your brother-in-law wants to see you."
"Brother-in-law?" Zhao Zonghua frowned. "I have at least a dozen brothers-in-law. Which one dares to be so arrogant and use the Zhao family token to invite me... Wait."
He suddenly thought of someone: "But Lu Zhen...but Brother-in-law Sen?"
As he spoke, his eyes brightened extremely.
Now, everyone in the Song Dynasty knows about Lu Sen's escape, but he also knows that no matter how hard his brother-in-law hides, it is probably related to his father, the Prince of Runan.
It's just that I can't reach it.
And now my brother-in-law has come all the way to see me, it is a great honor.
The two men in black didn't say anything, but silence is sometimes an acknowledgement.
He immediately jumped up and said, "You two, please lead the way quickly."
The two men in black nodded and walked out.
Zhao Zonghua hurriedly caught up and when he met the housekeeper, he said that he had gone out for something and might not be back for a while.
Then the two men in black took him around the city for a long time. Zhao Zonghua didn't think it was troublesome and followed behind without saying a word.
In fact, he also talked to the two men in black, but the other party was unwilling to say more, so he had to give up.
After walking for a long time, Zhao Zonghua followed the man in black out of the city, then boarded a boat on the outer river. After drifting for most of the day, he got off at an unmanned pier, walked in the mountains for half an hour, and finally entered a tunnel. He walked for nearly an hour in the dim light. His legs were almost broken when he finally reached his destination.
At this moment, Zhao Zonghua opened his mouth wide with an expression of surprise on his face.
This cave with glazed light and misty glow in front of me, is it my brother-in-law’s hiding place?
He is truly worthy of being called a land immortal.
Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly saw a white figure jumping down from the sky in front of me, and at the same time a voice shouted: "Hua Di, take it."
There was a sound of breaking wind. Zhao Zonghua was good at martial arts and subconsciously blocked with his hands, but the opponent kicked him on both arms. He screamed and his hands were knocked to his chest. He retreated several steps before he could barely stand.
At this time, the opponent kicked him forward. Zhao Zonghua's hands were in so much pain that he couldn't lift them. He could only watch the opponent's shoe sole hitting him in the face.
Full of power.
When he thought that his face might be disfigured, the shoe stopped when it was half an inch away from the tip of his nose, and then retracted it.
At the same time, a familiar voice rang out: "Hua Di, why are you so weak?"
Zhao Zonghua took a look and realized that the woman in front of him was his half-sister Lian. He was immediately shocked: "Sister, how come you are so powerful?"
An expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one look.
It was incredible that he couldn't even block one of his sister's attacks.
You know, a year and a half ago, Zhao Bilian was a weak woman who couldn't even tie a chicken.
"You are too weak." Zhao Bilian said with disdain, then became happy again, stretched out her hand to pull Zhao Zonghua's sleeves, and walked into the garden: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, let's chat."
"Sister, let me take care of the wound on my hand."
Zhao Zonghua's arms were in terrible pain at this time, and he thought that he had broken bones.
"What are you going to deal with? I'll eat the fruit and drink the honey water later. Are you still worried that the injury won't heal?"
That’s true!
The brother and sister sat down in the pavilion in the garden, eating and drinking, and talking about recent events.
As they chatted, the sense of unfamiliarity between the two of them faded a lot.
Zhao Zonghua couldn't help but ask, "Sister Lian, how come your external training skills are so powerful?"
Just imagine how strong the woman must be to be able to knock this big, rough man back several steps with one punch and break his bones?
"I was still holding back." Zhao Bilian couldn't help but laugh proudly, "But compared to Jinhua, there is still a gap."
Zhao Zonghua naturally knew who Jinhua she was talking about, the youngest daughter of the Yang family, the famous Lu Yang.
"That's amazing. I've practiced Kung Fu for ten years, but I don't even stand a chance against you." Zhao Zonghua couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.
He was really envious. Being able to train his weak sister to this level in two years, one could imagine how powerful the immortal was.
"I really used all my strength. You can't even see me lying down." Zhao Bilian snorted, and hooked her finger. There was a clang sound. Unknown when, a sword appeared on the table. "If the immortal family's sword-controlling skills are practiced to the extreme, it is easy to take someone's head ten miles away."
Zhao Zonghua swallowed hard. He saw with his own eyes that the sword flew in from outside the pavilion.
Sword wielding technique?
Zhao Bilian hooked again, and the sword floated up and floated behind her.
Zhao Zonghua's hands and feet were shaking at this time, not because of fear, but because of excitement.
There was great envy in his eyes.
"Want to learn?" Zhao Bilian smiled and said, "I can help you bring this up in front of your brother-in-law."
Zhao Zonghua knelt down with a thump. He shouted, "Please help me, Sister Lian. Please say a few good words to my brother-in-law."
Zhao Bilian was stunned, then immediately pulled Zhao Zonghua up.
Zhao Zonghua actually didn't want to get up, but he was not as strong as Zhao Bilian, so he was dragged up.
"Your brother-in-law always says that a man's knees are made of gold, and he hates seeing people kneeling the most." Zhao Bilian pushed Zhao Zonghua back to the stool and said, "You should also know why your brother-in-law doesn't want to be an official. It's because he is angry at those cowards in the court who kneel down at every turn."
Zhao Zonghua also heard about this.
Anyway, ever since Lu Sen resigned, the reputation of the entire Song Dynasty officialdom has deteriorated a lot.
Many people privately say that this batch of civil and military officials are no good, they have no blood and are too cowardly.
Zhao Zonghua also felt that there were very few real men among the officials in the court.
"Kneeling to your brother-in-law is not cowardice, it is respect." Zhao Zonghua said righteously: "Just the fact that my brother-in-law protected the three marshals and conquered Xingqing Prefecture is worthy of everyone in the world kneeling to him."
What Zhao Zonghua said was also true. Because of this incident, some people built a shrine for Lu Sen.
"You are more talkative than before." Zhao Bilian smiled, then patted Zhao Zonghua on the head: "Wait here, go call your brother-in-law down."
Zhao Zonghua sat down obediently and waited patiently.
At the same time, he took this opportunity to look at the surrounding scenery. The more he looked, the more shocked he felt. He couldn't help but say, "This should be called a small heavenly palace."
Lu Sen happened to walk over at this time, and when he heard Zhao Zonghua talking to himself, he felt helpless.
Honestly speaking, in the eyes of a modern man like him, the light pollution in this place is too serious. As soon as he opens his eyes, he will see all kinds of refracted light, rainbow light, and flickering light… But it can’t withstand the three of him… For the time being, there are two women and one who is about to become a woman.
The three of them just like this kind of flashy environment.
"I don't dare to call it a small heavenly palace, it's just a place to live." Lu Sen smiled as he walked in front of Zhao Zonghua, clasped his fists and said, "Long time no see, brother Hua."
"Brother-in-law." Zhao Zonghua stood up and smiled warmly.
"Sit down." Lu Sen pointed to the table and said, "I asked you to come here this time because I want you to do me a favor."
"Brother-in-law, please tell me if you have anything to say. I will do my best to help you." Zhao Zonghua clasped his hands together, looking extremely serious.
"You've heard about someone stealing my magic weapon."
"Brother-in-law wants me to go get the treasure back?" Zhao Zonghua patted his chest and said, "I'll immediately mobilize some people when I get back..."
" No, I want you to act out a play." Lu Sen took out a few items from the system backpack and placed them on the table: "In the name of the Zhao family's pursuer, you force the Qingyang guest to the capital of the Liao Kingdom. You don't have to kill him, but the play must be realistic and lifelike."
"But what if someone comes to my aid and kills that Qingyang guest when I take action!" It's not that Zhao Zonghua doesn't want to take this job, but he is afraid of ruining Lu Sen's plans. He knows clearly that his brother-in-law is probably planning something.
This is normal, all big shots are like this. His father, the Prince of Runan, often sets traps for people... He is too used to these things.
My brother-in-law is a land immortal, and the scheme he sets is probably even bigger and scarier.
Lu Sen smiled and said, "That Qingyang guest is not that easy to kill. The things we buried in his flesh can protect him in times of crisis."
I see!
"The things on this table are the things I gave you to protect you."
Lu Sen immediately explained the purpose of the objects on the table, and Zhao Zonghua's eyes lit up as he listened. They were all immortal treasures, the kind that did not exist in the human world.
"When you succeed, I will give you something better."
"Thank you, brother-in-law." Zhao Zonghua stood up, bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Leave it to me. If I can't do it well, I will cut off my head and fry it in a pan."
Lu Sen waved his hand and said, "Don't be so self-deprecating. If you don't do it well, just go home, get married and have children."
Lu Sen was telling the truth. With such good equipment and conditions, if Zhao Zonghua still failed in his mission, it would mean that he was not capable enough or he did not have "luck".
Then why bother wandering around in the world and learning magic? Just stay at home and carry on the family line.
The two chatted for a while, and then Lu Sen asked the man in black to send Zhao Zonghua away.
Then Yang Jinhua came down from the upper level and sat opposite Lu Sen. She just wanted to chat with her husband and exchange some feelings.
Lu Sen said, "You three have been stuck here for more than a year. You must be tired of it. How about you three go out and play together tomorrow?"
"Can I go out?" Yang Jinhua asked excitedly, "Will it ruin your plan?"
"Just take the secret path and don't expose your home's location." Lu Sen grabbed Yang Jinhua's soft little hand: "Besides, the appearance of the three of you in the secular world will also promote my plan."
