You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 269 A visit
The officials of Prince Shou and the marquis who were away were on the move and in a hurry.

In order to complete the commission from King Shou, they did not dare to delay for a moment on the way. They spent most of the day running and the horses were panting heavily.

We have traveled most of the way and it will probably be tomorrow evening before we reach Qingzhou City.

After riding for a whole day, everyone was exhausted, so they just found a makeshift inn on the side of the road, ordered some food and drinks, and had a good rest.

While eating, I suddenly heard a few farmers gathered at the table next to me, whispering to each other. There seemed to be two words in their words:

"Gray Mountain"!
After hearing what they said, the officials and marquises immediately became excited, came over and bid a few taels of silver.

During the meal, they were dumbfounded by this sudden situation and didn't know what these officials were up to. When the official asked about the matter of Huishan, the diners who had traveled all over the country suddenly became interested and told the official about what had happened in Huishan in the past two days:

"There is a dazzling formation on Gray Mountain now, covering most of the mountain. People can't go up and walk on the road. Anyone who wants to go up Gray Mountain will enter a big fog and get lost after going around twice. Many powerful martial artists have even disappeared, causing panic among the people."

When the official heard this, his heart sank instantly.

Now that Huishan has been surrounded, the Seven Mountains and Four Lakes formation will certainly be blocked.

As a result, Prince Shou was in danger.

We must go to Huishan as soon as possible to check the situation.

The officer asked two more questions:

"Besides this, is there anything else?"

"Besides that?" The farmer who was asked thought for a while, slapped his forehead, and said, "It just so happens that there is a group of vagrants living here. I heard them say that they saw a magical Taoist priest in Huishan at that time, and he also entered Huishan. As for whether it has anything to do with this matter? I don't know."

When the official heard the word "Taoist priest", he was slightly stunned, and the Taoist priest he saw in the daytime flashed through his mind.

Is it possible...

Is it really him?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

How could that seemingly crazy idiot have such superb skills?

"If you want to ask about this matter in detail, you can go and talk to those Jianghu people. I'm sure I can't explain it clearly."

The villagers sent the official away, and the official went straight to the shopkeeper to ask about the location of the martial artists, and then rushed directly to their residence, scaring the martial artists so much that they almost drew their swords.

However, after the official explained his purpose and took out a large amount of silver, they smiled and told him about the scene they had seen before of "the Taoist priest teaching the village chief a lesson."

"What does the immortal look like?"

"The Taoist priest was handsome, with an air of immortality, and he was wearing a tall crown on his head, but for some reason, it was slightly crooked."

The official compared the image of the Taoist in his mind.

I found out that they are exactly the same!
Isn't this annoying?

Thinking that the other party was walking towards the woods, the official felt that he had to light a message incense stick for Prince Shou as soon as possible.

……

The Zhao family compound was filled with gloomy clouds.

Zhao Youxian sat on the main seat with his eyes closed.

A gloomy and dark aura rolled up from his side and then sank down.

"Master, you haven't eaten for a day."

The servant came to Zhao Youxian's side worriedly, holding a bowl of hot porridge in his hand, as if he wanted to put it next to Zhao Youxian.

But his action only angered Zhao Youxian.

The old man angrily lifted his sleeves and spilled the hot porridge.

The bowl of porridge hit the servant directly in the face, causing him to scream in pain due to the burn.

"Damn your mother! Eat! Eat! All you do is eat!"

Zhao Youxian fiercely kicked the servant who was still struggling on the ground due to the burns, and cursed: "My grandson's soul incense is broken, which means his life is gone! Do you still have the mind to eat now?"

After kicking him three times, he finally sat back down, looking a little dejected:

"My grandson..."

The servant who was kicked and screamed by him finally climbed up from the ground and retreated in a hurry.

This person feels so aggrieved.

It's not his turn to eat this meal, why give him a beating?
Of course, he didn't dare say this out loud. Although it hurt after being beaten, it could be healed by applying some ointment. If he really angered Zhao Youxian, he would definitely lose his life.

Seeing the servants leave, Zhao Youxian sighed continuously.

in fact……

Zhao Youxian was not really that sad when his grandson died.

Zhao Youxian married a wife and three concubines, and had a total of seven children, four boys and three girls.

Even if the most talented eldest son died, the Zhao family's bloodline would not be cut off.

What he is worried about is...

Qingzhou is probably no longer as safe as before.

Although my dear grandson went to the front line of the battlefield, after all, it is impossible for a member of the noble family to fill the front row. He must be in the middle. If he died, I am afraid the situation on the front line would be tight!

Moreover, this morning, Zhao Youxian also saw Hou Zheng traveling to Prince Shou's mansion.

These intelligence and cunning dogs don't go out to play most of the time. They sit in their own kennels, sniffing around them about what's happening in the world with their noses.

Now they have gone out to investigate, which is definitely not a good thing.

"Should we run away from Qingzhou? But what should we do with all the property? And there are so many secret scrolls..."

Zhao Youxian was also upset.

Their family was descended from rice merchants, a wealthy merchant family. Later, they felt that their status and position were still a bit lacking, and wanted to continue climbing up the ladder of power.

Therefore, a Zhao family head several generations ago went to Kyoto. Perhaps it was fate or destiny that the head of the Zhao family did meet a noble person in Kyoto, who did give him some pointers and taught him the art of making paper puppets.

Relying on this method, the Zhao family has the confidence to fight against other families and sects.

Went down a dark road.

Kill people and seize treasures!
Relying on their wealth, the Zhao family hired a lot of subordinates to do illegal work, such as robbing people on the road, stealing their goods, and stealing their skills. They got all the skills and treasures in their hands. Relying on this, they improved their family's level a lot.

However, even so, the Zhao family is still not as good as those formal big families.

Those large families with strong foundations could remain unmoved in the face of such turmoil that could shake a large state, but the Zhao family could not.

They depend on Qingzhou, if Qingzhou is destroyed, their family will definitely not be well off.

Now even a figure like Zhao Youxian doesn't know what to do for a moment.

"If all else fails, let's go to Kyoto and give the Broken Four Seasons to the nobleman. The nobleman likes these ancient toys, so I think he should be able to provide us with some protection."

Just as he thought this, a servant suddenly ran in hurriedly, disturbing Zhao Youxian's mood.

"What are you doing? Are you asking for a beating?"

Zhao Youxian glared at the servant fiercely, and the servant immediately shrank his neck:
"Master, there is a Taoist priest outside looking for you."

"Taoist priest?" Zhao Youxian frowned.

He has never liked Taoist priests. Whenever they see him, they will tell him, "You have ghost energy in your body, which can easily hurt your body. I will help you to exorcise the ghost!"

I am the one who summons ghosts. Can you help me exorcise them?

Are you deliberately looking for trouble?

Because of this incident, he even killed several Taoists, but he didn't expect that another Taoist would come to him!
It's really annoying!
"Drive them out! Drive them as far away as possible! I don't want to see the Taoist priests!"

Zhao Youxian chuckled.

The servant wanted to say something, but suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from the direction of the gate.

There was a gust of wind, so strong that Zhao Youxian could barely stand.

He looked up in surprise, not knowing what had happened in the yard, and a vague sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.

Ignoring the servants beside him, he hurried forward in two steps and soon arrived at the courtyard.

However, he saw that the door of his room, which had been placed with many restrictions, was kicked open, and a Taoist priest walked directly into the yard with a swagger.

There was even a donkey cart following behind.

Zhao Youxian was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head.

what is this?
Come to challenge?

Seeing that the Taoist priest was looking around and didn't even look at him, Zhao Youxian became even more angry. He directly pinched out two small paper figures in his hands and put his fingers on the paper figures.

A few drops of essence and blood entered the paper figure, and the originally stiff and dull paper figure suddenly came alive and bounced on the spot.

The two pieces of paper flew around in the air twice and fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, they were like inflated paper balls.

She turned into a ghost maid with a white face and red cheeks.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my house? Would it be too rude of you to just kick my door open?"

Zhao Youxian had a cold face.

Hearing him speak, Zuo Chen glanced at the other person, but his eyes fell on the two paper figures.

Looks familiar.

Seeing that Zuo Chen didn't say anything, Zhao Youxian became even more angry. He waved his hand, and his men immediately brought up several treasures:

They were all the four treasures of the study: writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, with spots of light reflected above them.

The so-called brilliance and splendor of jewels and precious stones are so great that one can tell with just a casual glance that these treasures must be extraordinary.

Naturally, these treasures were also stolen by him.

Zhao Youxian casually picked up the brush from the tray, waved his hand, and pointed it in the direction of Zuo Chen:

"Taoist, if you don't leave me an answer, don't even think about getting away with it!"

Zuo Chen finally shifted his attention away from the two familiar paper figures.

When he looked at the old man in front of him, he showed an expression that seemed to be neither a smile nor a smile.

It turned out that the paper figure I made next to Qingzhou Lake was actually the work of this family.

This can be considered a coincidence. After going around in circles, we met again.

Zuo Chen smiled and said:

"I just came down from Ji Jian Villa. I heard that the Zhao family had robbed them of their secret scrolls, so I came to take a look."

"Want to fight for justice?"

"I want to fight for justice."

Zhao Youxian spat directly to the side:
"When you live long enough, you can really see everything! I've seen people fight for justice, but I've never seen anyone fight for justice against our family! I just happened to be upset, so I'm using your skin as my new cushion."

"Oh."

Zuo Chen said.

Reach out and clap your hands forward.

"Snapped!"

A palm print clearly appeared on Zhao Youxian's face.

Got hit by a big bitch.
