Zhao Jundu took out a square towel and slowly wiped off the tea on his hands, and when he raised his head again, his expression became very calm, only his eyes were obscured, "I'll handle this matter, don't tell father and brothers yet."
Uncle Wang nodded, but he sighed in his heart.
That old incident was full of twists and turns, leaving an extremely strange mess, and no one knows what happened so far. Although Zhao Jundu had remembered things back then, how much wind could a child hear? But just looking at him today, he immediately associated it with just a few words, obviously he has never forgotten the past, and maybe he even went to check it secretly.
"It's just the princess..." Uncle Wang hesitated.
Zhao Jundu's eyes flashed brightly, and he said calmly: "Because of him, my mother had a difficult delivery when Xixi was born, and she hasn't recovered yet. Besides, my mother didn't touch anything about what happened back then, you should know this better than me, Uncle Wang. Then why bother mother with irrelevant things?"
Uncle Wang's heart trembled slightly, he finally nodded heavily, and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Young Master, this old servant will keep his mouth shut."
Uncle Wang's loyalty to Princess Gaoyi is unquestionable, since he was found here, he didn't want to disturb the princess.
Zhao Jundu didn't say any more, just asked: "What does that person look like? Since he was seriously injured and unconscious, you should be able to get his personal belongings. As long as I have directly related items, I can find a way to determine his whereabouts." .”
"At that time, the lady didn't allow me to get close. However, the man did have something with the lady."
Uncle Wang came prepared, took out a portrait and a dagger, and put them in front of Zhao Jundu. The brushwork in that portrait is simple, but quite expressive, with just a few strokes, Qianye's face was outlined. And that dagger was the Shining Fang that Zhao Ruoxi had not returned.
Wang Bodao: "Fourth son, this dagger belongs to Miss's collection. I just 'take it temporarily' and I need to return it afterwards."
Zhao Jundu said: "It's okay, after Xixi went to visit her mother, it is said that she will transfer to Beiyue Prince's Mansion to live for a few days, and she will not come back for more than ten days. I will not borrow this short knife for more than five days."
"If that's the case, the old slave can rest assured." Uncle Wang stood up and said goodbye. When he was about to walk to the door, he stopped, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Fourth Young Master, there is one more thing, I don't know if I should talk about it or not."
Uncle Wang was preoccupied, but he didn't notice that Zhao Jundu's hand holding the drawing paper trembled.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Jundu's voice was calm.
"From the old slave's point of view, the young lady seems to have feelings for that person..."
Zhao Jundu suddenly stood up, his face was shocked, "Really?"
"If the old slave is blind, it should be... so."
Zhao Jundu took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said, "Okay, I understand."
After the study door was closed, Zhao Jundu held the portrait and looked at it for a while, then went to the table and found the gray file bag, which also contained a portrait. The painting styles of the two pictures are completely different, but the faces of the people in the pictures are 80-90% similar.
Zhao Jundu kneaded the two pieces of paper into balls, watched them being slowly ground into a pile of fine ash in his palm, and finally fell from his fingers. He stood for a long time, picked up Shining Fang and walked out of the study.
The outer courtyard keeps carriages for travel all year round, and the main mansion alone has the size of a small city. If you want to go to the area of the outer mansion, you must have means of transportation. Zhao Jundu's face sank like water, he opened the door and boarded the car, ordered "Go to the Elder's House", then closed his eyes and did not speak again.
The driver had been serving Zhao Jundu for a long time, seeing that his expression was extremely bad at this moment, he didn't dare to say a word, got up steadily at the fastest speed, and drove towards the elders' courtyard on the south wing.
The silver carriage went straight into the elders' courtyard and stopped in front of an independent courtyard on the east side.
Zhao Jundu got out of the carriage, waved his hand to stop the boy who wanted to inform at the door, and walked directly into the courtyard.
The courtyard is not big, but the layout of flowers and plants is very delicate. There is also a shed of purple grapes. Now is the season, and numerous fruits are hanging among the green branches and leaves. An old man was sitting on a rattan chair with his eyes closed and resting his mind, while playing with two round jade balls in his hands.
Zhao Jundu entered the door, the old man didn't open his eyes, and said: "It's Jundu, it's rare to see you come to see me, an old man. Tell me, what trouble do you want me to do this time?"
Zhao Jundu was familiar with the old man's temperament, so he didn't talk nonsense, he handed the Shining Light Fang over, and said, "Sixth Elder, this knife left its previous owner not long ago, and my nephew would like to ask you to take action to find that person's location. He is a A boy in his twenties, about level seven to eight."
The old man slowly opened his eyes, but frowned, and said slowly: "I knew it was nothing good. This matter will hurt the old man's vitality. Is that person in Westland?"
"uncertain."
Hearing this sentence, the old man's long eyebrows almost twisted into a ball, and said: "Then it will be even more difficult. You should know that this move will consume ten years of my cultivation."
Zhao Jundu's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "This matter is extremely important to me, and I will not hesitate to pay some price. I also ask the Sixth Elder to help me."
"This..." the Sixth Elder pondered, with a look of embarrassment on his face. Even though he has retired now and doesn't need to fight bravely with others, ten years of cultivation is not so easy to give up.
Zhao Jundu said again: "I heard that cousin Ruoming is preparing to break through the warlord. My nephew happens to have a solution for the rarest and most precious medicines that are missing."
The Sixth Elder's eyes flashed brightly, then he shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "This...forget it, the old man will risk it this time. Sigh, if Ruoming can have half your talents, why should I worry about it so much!"
After receiving the Shining Light Fang, the Sixth Elder stretched out his finger and slowly wiped the blade, saying, "I want to sacrifice to the stars and pray for power, so as to trace its source, it will take a few days."
"Okay, just wait for the news from the Sixth Elder." After finishing speaking, Zhao Jundu didn't stay any longer and left the hospital.
"A few days..." Zhao Jundu sat in the carriage, eyes slightly closed, and said after a while: "Notify Wufang, take 'Bise Sky' out and put it in Tianxingtan for warming. I will go to battle soon."
His voice was not too high or low, but it was enough for the guards outside the car to hear him clearly, everyone looked shocked, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, young master!"
Zhao Jundu practiced the secret of the Zhao Clan since he was a child: Xiji Ziqi. He had ignited nine nodes of the original force when he was just fifteen years old, and it was easy to break through the battle. five years.
In the early years, Zhao Jundu also followed the family precepts of the Zhao family and went to the battlefield from time to time, but since Zhao Weihuang took the position of the lord, he spent more time in the main mansion to handle affairs on behalf of his father, except for big occasions such as Emperor Garden Spring Shou , has rarely played.
However, whenever he played, he was invincible. At this time, even Zhao Jundu's personal guards could hardly tell the depth of his force, they only knew that he had never met an opponent at the same level.
In the evening, the atmosphere in Libin City was tense. Although the city gate could not be closed at will, the city defense army's investigation became extremely strict, so that there was a long queue waiting at the gate.
And in an unremarkable small house two streets away from the City Defense Army Mansion, Wang Youyuan was standing in front of Zhao Youping, his waist was bent almost at a right angle, and half of his face was swollen.
"Trash! You can't handle such a trivial matter. What use are you for! Now the goods have not been obtained, the people have not been caught, and several brothers in the city defense army have been damaged. This matter has become so big, you let it go. How can I explain to the higher authorities? Hmph, although the old fellow of the city lord is not far from death, he is still sitting in his seat after all!"
Faced with Zhao Youping's scolding, Wang Youyuan could only say "Damn the little one" again and again, and then slapped himself desperately.
Zhao Youping suddenly said coldly: "Is there no news yet?"
The guard next to him quickly said: "My lord, as soon as there is any news, I will report it to you as soon as possible!"
"A bunch of trash!"
The personal guard took a peek at Zhao Youping's face, and hurried out, "I'll hurry up again!"
Zhao Youping walked to the window rather irritatedly, and suddenly said: "Since that kid is still in the city, that's fine, I'll personally strike and take his life!"
"You want to do it yourself?" Wang Youyuan swallowed, and said cautiously: "My lord, that kid seems to be an eighth-level fighter, at the same level as yours, and he lost even Ma Sandao in his hands, so it's hard to deal with. Why don't you find more people?"
Zhao Youping snorted coldly, and said, "How can my Zhao Clan's combat skills be compared with those of the untouchables? Although Ma Sandao is higher in level than me, three moves are enough if I want to kill him! Besides, looking for someone? Are you still thinking about it? Not big enough? The top priority now is to kill that kid quickly, and the next thing is that if the incident gets out, not only you, but even I will be unlucky. The old guy's cronies have been staring at my mistakes all the time! "
"Your Excellency is mighty!" Wang Youyuan quickly flattered, with a panicked look on his face.
Of course, Zhao Youping was not alone in the city defense army. There were also two commanders, one was the confidant of the old city lord, and the other had the highest military force of a foreigner. Therefore, they had always remained neutral in factional disputes.
Although Wang Youyuan ordered Li Liu to kill Ma Sandao in time, of course he would not keep the nephew of Xinglong Commercial Bank. In this way, even if the kid who escaped wanted to appeal, he would not be able to provide evidence, but if he didn't kill him, he would always be in serious trouble.
Zhao Youping suddenly felt a little disturbed, waved to Wang Youyuan, and said, "Get out!"
Wang Youyuan hurriedly retreated outside the door as if he had received an amnesty. But as soon as he reached the door, he retreated again.
"Didn't I let you go out?! Huh?"
Zhao Youping saw Wang Youyuan's forehead being held against a force gun, and retreated step by step into the room, followed by a young man.
Zhao Youping fixed his eyes, stared at Qianye, and said, "Are you the kid who killed my men?"
"it's me."
Zhao Youping sneered, and began to unbutton his coat, saying, "You dare to kill my Zhao Clan fighters, and you dare to come here, you are really brave!"
Qianye said indifferently: "You guys openly kill people and steal goods, you are much more courageous than me. Is there any law in this world?"
Zhao Youping laughed, and said: "Whether there is a king or not is another matter. You have killed my Zhao Clan fighters now. Although the world is big, there is no place for you!"
Qianye sneered, and said: "Really? That's just right, I won't lose money if I kill you, the commander of the city guards."
Zhao Youping showed a sarcastic smile and said, "It's up to you?"
He had already taken off his outer robe, revealing a black soft armor under his clothes, and then put one foot on the ground, raised the other, stretched his arms, as if a crane soaring in the sky, and then shouted: "Let me show you the secret biography of the Zhao family." : Soaring Water Bird Fist!"
Qianye pinched Wang Youyuan's neck bone without moving, pushed the corpse away, and then walked slowly towards Zhao Youping, making a fighting gesture.
"Military fighting skills?" Zhao Youping's face showed obvious contempt.
Fighting skills in the military are synonymous with civilians. Even if the gentry have secret fighting skills from their families or divisions, only civilians who have been promoted from the army will still use fighting skills in the army at the eighth level.
