Chapter 624 Zhao Hao Wants...

"A simple sentence."

Zhao Hao put down his wine glass and raised a finger: "I can help you solve the trouble caused by Huijue and his evil monks. In exchange, you have to ask His Majesty... Hey, are you listening to me?"

"Ok?"

Fu Qingzhou pulled his head away from the table full of delicacies, still chewing a piece of fat but not greasy meat, and raised his head blankly: "Go on, I'm listening."

He has been pretending to be a refugee these days, eating rice porridge every day, and his mouth is dry as a bird.

Now that there is a rich young man who can make a fortune from him, how can he let go of this opportunity?

"You don't look like you heard it..."

Zhao Hao said helplessly: "In short, I will use the power of Qianfang Baixiao Tower to help you solve the current troubles. You can go back and say a few nice words to the emperor, asking him to give me something and let me achieve some results."

Fu Qingzhou put down the lamb leg in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't you who work in intelligence hide in the dark?"

"My father has been acting strange lately."

At this point, Zhao Hao was clearly a little annoyed: "He's asking more and more of me. Before, in order to organize the Hidden Dragon Hundred Elites Conference, I did a lot of things and proved myself hard. I thought I could get some free time, but..."

He poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his head back and drank it down, and said in a muffled voice: "But recently, his temper has become worse again, and he has started to cause trouble for me again."

"Oh?"

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes. "Isn't it said that King Xishuo is a humble person who knows how to observe ancient etiquette? He has a bad temper?"

"You don't understand." Zhao Hao waved his hands: "His bad temper is not the same as that of ordinary people... You won't see any emotion on his face. Believe it or not, if you kill me in front of him, he won't shed a tear or frown."

Fu Qingzhou was stunned.

Is there such a father?
"but!"

Zhao Hao gritted his teeth and said, "He will tell me how angry he is through his actions! Before Huijue's incident was exposed, I helped you deal with Fanyin Temple, and he had a good relationship with Jinchan Temple, so he sent someone to ask me to go back immediately! He doesn't care what I am doing or how important it is!"

"As long as I'm not doing what he tells me to do, it's always nonsense and messing around!"

"His judgment will never be influenced by others. As long as he thinks it is right, no one can say it is wrong, especially my son!"

He drank some wine and talked about sad things, and before he knew it he was vomiting bitterness.

Fu Qingzhou shook his head, drank a cup or two, and picked up the lamb leg at hand.

"You usually look cool and relaxed, but I didn't expect you to have a difficult father-son relationship."

He said leisurely: "But I think it would not be a good idea if you helped me and I reported what you did to the emperor and asked him to reward you."

Zhao Hao was stunned: "Why?"

"I just said it."

Fu Qingzhou tore off a piece of lamb leg meat and chewed it while saying, "You are an intelligence agent. It is not good to expose yourself in front of others."

"But if I don't do anything, my father will continue to restrict me!" Zhao Hao gritted his teeth and said, "You don't know, I managed to sneak out this time! If I hadn't dealt with the Xingyun Chamber of Commerce and those under Uncle Li, I wouldn't even be able to escape!"

"I can't delay too long! If I keep going like this, I'll be caught again... He won't give me the chance to use the same trick he used last time twice!"

Fu Qingzhou smiled.

"I don't know what tricks you used to escape your father's punishment last time."

He whispered, "But I promise you, I have a better plan this time."

Zhao Hao's eyes lit up.

But Fu Qingzhou didn't wait for him to speak, and said leisurely: "Don't ask, it's a secret, a top secret."

Zhao Hao snorted disdainfully: "How many secrets have I come into contact with? What level of secrets are there that even I don't know?"

Fu Qingzhou counted on his fingers.

"Except for me..."

He said: "Only the emperor, Master Xiangjian, and Ning Wushu know about this. Oh, Lord Yan, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, also knows about it." Zhao Hao was shocked.

He put away his disdainful expression and coughed lightly: "This... have you reached this level now?"

Fu Qingzhou blinked and said, "Special envoy of Mingjian Pavilion, am I kidding you?"

"Hmph..." Zhao Hao held his forehead and said, "Boy, your growth rate is too outrageous. Less than a year ago, you were still a young man..."

Fu Qingzhou chuckled, said nothing, and continued eating.

Zhao Hao fell silent and started drinking glass after glass.

After a while, he saw that Fu Qingzhou had almost finished eating and started to wipe his greasy mouth, so he finally spoke: "Anyway, you can ask me for help in dealing with those evil monks under Huijue. In addition, to show my sincerity, I have a gift for you."

Fu Qingzhou's eyes lit up: "What?"

"Come with me."

Zhao Hao smiled slightly, and finally regained some of his previous elegant demeanor: "It's just outside Ding'an City."

Ding'an City was the first city the two men came to after crossing the Hongjiang River. It was only more than ten miles away from the bank of the Hongjiang River.

But although it was only separated by a river, this place was completely unaffected by the epidemic. Perhaps it was because Yuanzhao and his men did not have enough manpower and energy to take care of it, or perhaps it was because the Hongjiang River was too difficult to cross, even the epidemic was difficult to overcome.

At this time, Ding'an City was prosperous and bustling, with people coming and going and traffic jams. The heavy snow could not stop people from laughing and strolling in the streets.

Seeing this scene, Fu Qingzhou was quite moved.

Over on Chang'an Beach, it was almost a living hell with wailing everywhere, but here, it was still a scene of peace and prosperity.

"How are you going to help me deal with Huijue's matter?"

Only then did he get down to business: "Help me find out the whereabouts of Yuanzhao's group?"

"It's no big deal." Zhao Hao grinned and said, "Their whereabouts are so easy to track down - I can help you locate Yuan Zhao, your brother Li Qing."

Fu Qingzhou's eyes suddenly lit up!
He grabbed Zhao Hao's arm: "Really?!"

"Oh my god, it hurts... You're too strong, aren't you?"

Zhao Hao quickly shook off Fu Qingzhou's hand, rubbing his arm and said, "How can I lie to you? Is it difficult to deduce where Yuanzhao is based on the movements of those monks? You underestimate Qianfang Baixiao Tower too much."

"Good good!"

Fu Qingzhou was overjoyed: "How long will it take?"

"At least three to five days, at most ten days to half a month." Zhao Hao pouted and said, "You have been in trouble recently, they must have a countermeasure. Yuanzhao is unlikely to continue to show up in the short term. It will take some time."

Fu Qingzhou nodded: "No problem, if you can really accomplish this, I guarantee that you will be able to show your face in front of your father!"

"Humph, whether to show your face or not..."

Zhao Hao snorted and laughed: "I am not that vulgar. I do all this just to be free!"

The two chatted and soon walked out of the city.

After walking along the official road for two quarters of an hour and then turning into a forest path with many traces of vehicles and horses, after walking a short distance, a valley can be seen in the distance.

There are many pieces of wood and bricks at the entrance of the valley. Judging from their sizes, they are all used for building houses.

There were also many donkey carts and ox carts parked here, and the laborers were shouting and transporting the wood and bricks to the valley.

A chubby boy of about sixteen or seventeen was sitting not far away, watching all this, his eyes full of joy.

"Lin Qu!?"

When Fu Qingzhou saw the young man from afar, his eyes lit up.

Isn’t this young man the nephew of Senior Zuo Lamei?
Why is he here?
"Didn't you promise to help him rebuild the Xingchen Tower?" Zhao Hao said lazily behind him, "I'll do this for you. This valley is full of spiritual energy and it's a good place. I'll buy it for him and find someone to build a sect here - but it's done in your name."

"Are you satisfied with this gift?"
