Chapter 129

Then he looked around and saw no one. Then he came to Zhu Quan and whispered a few words.

"What? There is such a thing!"

When he finished, Zhu Quan suddenly stood up, his face full of anger: "these guys really don't pay attention to me, the city Lord?"

"Calm down, sir. The movements of those people are relatively secret and have not left any handle, so..."

"So you didn't care before, did you?" Zhu Quan snorted coldly and looked a little bad: "I don't think I'm a good man, but the Zhao family has fallen to such a point not because General Zhao died for the country. Even if the family members of such people don't help, what kind of ruthless people will do it?"

"What the adult said is that although I hate this practice, but..."

Lu Qianhai hesitated and looked around again. Then he whispered, "there seems to be the shadow of the prime minister."

"Prime minister?"

Zhu Quan's pupils narrowed and instinctively looked around. Then he said in a deep voice, "shut up, do you know what you're talking about? It will cause death!"

Although he can be regarded as a city Lord, he is still too far away from the power center of Jiang state. Compared with the existence under one person, he is just a mole ant.

Lu Qianhai nodded solemnly and said quietly, "my Lord, I just heard someone mention it vaguely. The man found me directly and told me a few words implicitly to help them."

"Oh? If they really have such a background, why... Yes!"

Zhu Quan suddenly thought of something and suddenly understood everything.

"It is said that when General Zhao was able to ascend, he relied on the recommendation of an immortal master."

"Your Excellency is right." Lu Qianhai nodded.

"As far as I know, a few years ago, the Zhao family did have an immortal teacher. It seems that he came from other countries. He didn't stay long, but he made the status of the Zhao family jump. Because of this, although some people in the court wanted to move the Zhao family, they didn't dare to come openly for fear of being retaliated afterwards."

"Tut Tut, I didn't expect that there was such a muddy water in my little thousand pine city."

Zhu Quan shook his head and sighed a few words. His eyes twinkled with an indescribable brilliance. After glancing at Lu Qianhai around him, he stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Let's go to the Zhao family. I'm going to take a trip to the muddy water."

"My Lord, this..."

"Don't worry, I won't do business at a loss. Didn't you say that the immortal master is also in the Zhao family?"

Today, the Zhao family's residence is in a remote corner of qiansong city. The cars and horses of the city master's residence kept turning and turning, and it took a while to stop in front of the Zhao family's door.

Dozens of sergeants were lined up on both sides, and some were ready to rush into the line, but Zhu Quan stopped.

He walked out of a luxurious carriage and said coldly, "wait a minute, I'll go in alone. Don't follow any of you, you hear me!"

Naturally, no one dared to disobey his words. After a group of sergeants gave way to the road, he reached the gate and pulled up the copper ring and tapped twice.

After waiting for a long time, there was no response.

"My Lord, the servants of the Zhao family have left, so..."

"Yes."

Zhu Quan nodded and knocked on the gate twice. The strength here is heavier.

Sure enough, after the sound increased, the people inside heard it. After a while, the door opened a crack and drilled out a small head carved with powder and jade.

"Who are you...?"

Zhao Yuer looked at a large group of people at the door. He was afraid and asked waxy.

Zhu Quan was stunned. Unexpectedly, she was such a lovely little girl. The city master frame just lifted suddenly disappeared. With a gentle face, he said, "well... I'm the city master. Can you let me in?"

"Ah, Lord!"

Zhao Yuer was startled and hurriedly closed the door. Then there was a series of footsteps, obviously running away.

Zhu Quan and Lu Qianhai looked at each other, with some embarrassment on their faces.

If you put it in another house, the city Lord didn't go in directly if he wanted to go in. He didn't even need a notice, but now he's closed the door.

However, after thinking that the immortal master was in the house, they didn't say anything, but waited quietly.

Sure enough, after a while, the door opened. This time, Zhao Wuming opened the door.

Seeing so many sergeants here, Zhao Wuming gave a click in his heart, quickly saluted and said, "I hope the city Lord can atone for his sin. My little sister is not sensible and ignores the adult. Please come inside."

With that, he just stepped aside. The etiquette was just right and impeccable.

Zhu Quan looked at him with appreciation, nodded, and went in alone. The rest, including Lu Qianhai, a close adviser, were waiting at the door.

"You are the son of General Zhao!"

He asked casually and looked aimlessly at the shabby house.

Zhao Wuming nodded: "yes, boy Zhao Wuming, see the city Lord."

"All right, don't be polite." Zhu Quan waved his hand and glanced at the only houses here: "is immortal master in this house?"

"This..."

Zhao Wuming hesitated and said, "yes, immortal master is practicing."

"Well, well, I won't disturb immortal master."

Zhu Quan said with a smile, stared at Zhao Wuming for a long time, and continued, "I'm here to ask you something."

"Please come inside, sir. The boy must try his best to answer."

Zhao Wuming walked ahead and took Zhu Quan to a hall.

It's empty here. Except for a few tables and chairs, there's nothing else, not even a tea cup for guests.

The roof is made of wood. A lot of red paint has fallen off on it. There is a faint smell of decay. Fortunately, the ground, tables and chairs are relatively clean. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will really make people feel that this is an abandoned place.

Zhu Quan frowned and stood in the middle of the hall, constantly looking at the room.

Zhao Wuming smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said, "the family is poor. Adults, please bear more."

"This is the Zhao family? How long has it been? How did it become like this?"

Zhu Quan had some doubts in his eyes. It wasn't long before General Zhao died. No matter how fast he disappeared, he shouldn't have become like this.

"Back to my Lord, the expenses at home are large, so I put the original residence..."

Zhao Wuming's words were only half said, and a huge noise suddenly came out from a distance, which was very abrupt, startling both of them in the hall.

Then, another hot gust of wind swept in from the door and made the door frame creak.

"What happened?"
