He sat on the stone bench, clenching his teeth.

The four maids beside her were also sighing.

His face was full of worry.

Since Zhao Xin brought me into this courtyard,

The five members, master and servant, have already been determined.

The courtyard has front and back gates.

They were all guarded by government officials and soldiers.

These ordinary Imperial Guard officers and soldiers,

Naturally, it was no match for sorghum.

But there were five people, master and servants.

But no one dared to make a rash move.

Because when Zhao Xin was leaving...

They were warned.

Once he discovers that Gaoliang and the others have left the courtyard...

He immediately sent men to execute that old man, Gao Taigong...

Chapter 543 Promotion and Wealth

"Miss, are we just going to do nothing like this?"

Mint couldn't help but ask,

"Are we just supposed to wait for Zhao Xin to order us around?"

"What else can we do?"

Rose said helplessly,

"Grandfather has been detained by Zhao Xin. What if we do something that angers Zhao Xin and he really harms Grandfather?"

"Rose is right,"

Sorghum sighed.

"Now that my father is in Zhao Xin's hands, what can we do?"

The five people, master and servants, were sighing and lamenting together.

Footsteps could be heard at the entrance of the courtyard.

next moment,

But Zhao Xin stepped in.

"What are you here for?"

Mint immediately questioned him with dissatisfaction.

“When does it become a maid’s place to interrupt when the master is speaking?”

Zhao Xin snorted coldly.

"you........"

Mint was about to say something more,

Rose quickly embraced her.

"do not talk!"

Gao Liang looked visibly smug.

Zhao Xin, who had been all smiles, frowned and said angrily.

"What do you want me to do before you release my father?!"

"What, you're already in such a hurry?"

Zhao Xin chuckled.

"Don't worry, Sister Gao, it will only take a couple of days. I will tell you what to do."

"Where's my father?"

Gao Liang asked through gritted teeth.

"Once you've finished helping me, I'll immediately reward you for this tremendous achievement, and then I'll release Old Man Gao."

Zhao Xin said with a smug look on his face.

"A tremendous achievement?"

Gao Liang was slightly taken aback.

He then began to understand.

"You want me to help you deal with Liangshan?"

"Hehe, Sister Gao is indeed intelligent,"

Seeing that Gaoliang had already guessed his intention,

Zhao Xin then no longer concealed the truth.

"Sister Gao, please don't blame me!"

"Who can blame me when there are so many elite soldiers and generals at Liangshan? I can't possibly hold them off by myself alone!"

"If I want to defeat them, I can only rely on your martial prowess, Sister Gao!"

"you!"

Gao Liang glared angrily at Zhao Xin.

"You know perfectly well that Liangshan cured my father's chronic illness and did us, father and daughter, a great favor!"

"You still want me to help you deal with them?"

"What? Sister Gao, are you unwilling?"

Zhao Xin sneered.

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying this,

Zhao Xin then turned to leave.

Gao Liang naturally understood the meaning behind his words.

He quickly stood up.

"Can't 'Summoning Joy' be something else?"

"other things?"

Zhao Xin snorted coldly.

"If I defeat Liangshan, I can get promoted and make a fortune. Can you do the same for anything else?"

"Zhao Xin, when did you become so obsessed with officialdom?"

Gao Liang couldn't help but ask,

"You used to..."

Don't bring up the past with me!

Zhao Xin flicked his sleeves.

He sneered with a stern face.

"I used to think that even if we weren't mutually in love (damn it), we were still childhood sweethearts, and I would eventually be able to marry you into the Zhao family."

"Who knew that after you went out and met those Liangshan bandits, you would actually..."

Zhao Xin spoke of this tongue,

He stared at the sorghum with a face full of resentment.

"So you've come to look down on me like this?"

"I just don't understand, what's so commendable about that band of Liangshan outlaws!"

"For their sake, you actually raised your knife against me and even tried to kill me..."

Chapter 544 A Plan to Turn the Tide

"Sorghum, I'll tell you!"

Zhao Xin had a stern face.

He said it slowly and deliberately.

"I want a promotion, I want to get rich!"

"I'll show you,"

"How can those bandits of Liangshan compare to me!"

After saying this,

Zhao Xin was quite pleased with himself.

Turning around, he left the courtyard.

He was unaware that he had just left the courtyard.

Mint then lightly spat in his direction.

"Little man!"

"Alright, that's enough,"

Gao Liang sighed helplessly.

He said with some concern,

"Judging from Zhao Xin's confident demeanor just now, I wonder what method he plans to use to deal with Liangshan..."

"Miss, we need to find a way to inform Chief Zhao,"

Mint said somewhat anxiously,

"Chief Zhao and the others are still outside the city helping to find out where Grandfather is."

"If Liangshan falls, who will go to find Grandfather?"

“Miss, Mint is right this time,”

Rose rarely agreed with Mint.

 403 “This Zhao Xin doesn’t look like a man of his word.”

"Even if you, Miss, were to intervene and help him deal with that Liangshan general,"

"I'm afraid that in the end, he might not release the old man."

".........I know,"

Gao Liang said helplessly,

"But now, my father's whereabouts are still unknown. What other options do we have besides listening to him?"

"I wonder when Chief Zhao and the others will be able to find Grandfather..."

Before Mint could finish her sentence,

A piece of gravel suddenly fell in front of her.

The girl was startled.

Mint is naturally feisty and outspoken.

Suddenly startled by the rock,
