son-in-law

Chapter 987

There was a bang, the earth trembled, and sawdust flew everywhere.The bridge collapsed, the carriages and horses were blown up, and the soldiers guarding the carriages were smashed on the spot.

The explosion caused an air wave, like a strong wind blowing towards the face, and people retreated.Flying debris injured several people, or fell to the ground, or wailed in pain.

Zhong Lang dropped his carriage into the river, causing an uproar.People regained their composure and began to rescue the wounded and hunt down the assassin.The general gave an order, and the cavalry rode out.

More than a dozen people on the water walked on the water and scattered to escape. Among them, the white-faced scholar ran the fastest, but there were still at least ten horses chasing behind him, each holding a strong bow and firing from time to time.Even if the white-faced scholar has the cultivation base of the ninth level, he dare not stay.

The white-faced scholar is very familiar with this place, and he didn't panic when he ran away, and went straight to the depths of the mountain stream.The water was deep there, and there was a small waterfall nine feet high.It is impossible to get off the horse at the waterfall, and it is deep in the water.And the white-faced scholar jumped up, boarded the cliff, and ran towards the dense forest.

The cavalry, wearing heavy armor, wanted to climb the rocky cliff, but found that the rocks under the waterfall were slippery.Climb up several times and slide down again.When they stacked up the Arhat, the white-faced scholar had already disappeared into the dense forest, and there was no one there.

This white-faced scholar is none other than Zhao Min who came in disguise.

Although he is usually arrogant and has the image of a warrior, he grew up with Zhao Fan, and they look almost exactly the same.He was used to Zhao Fan's appearance as a frail scholar, so he pretended to be a scholar, lifelike.When talking to Jun Ye, all he had to do was hide the sharpness in his eyes.And he didn't dare to look up at Jun Ye's cowardly appearance, which made Jun Ye believe that he was powerless.

However, it was this scholar who did a great thing. He spied on Zhao Qiang's itinerary based on King Kang's influence, and knew that he would pass the Luqiao post today, so he got the fire and thunder and installed it under the wooden bridge in advance.

There were also members of King Xian in Luqiao Station, but just last night, those people had been killed.

Finally, Zhao Min succeeded.He killed Zhao Qiang, a heavyweight in the Xianwang faction, and successfully hid in the depths of the dense forest, throwing off his pursuers.

After running fast for a long distance, exhausted, gasping for breath, I sat down on the rock exhausted.

At this moment, his shoulder was still aching, because he had also been hit by an arrow just now, but the arrow was not precise enough and did not hurt his vitals.While running, he pulled out the arrow while the wound was still bleeding.

Facing this strong bow and crossbow, no matter how high the martial arts are, it is useless.

……

In the dense forest, Zhao Min prepared some food in advance.

Zhao Min was annoyed that he was caught by some wild beast, so he looked for wild beasts and bamboo shoots in the mountains to satisfy his hunger.Three days later, Zhao Min walked out of the mountain at night and met the person who was connected.He got into the carriage and sneaked into Luoyang, but he didn't go directly to Kang Wang's mansion, but came to Beishi.

At the right time, the night ban was lifted.Zhao Min mixed among the vendors and walked into Beishi.

Today he was dressed plainly, he looked like an errand boy from a rich family.No one noticed him on the street, and he didn't see Haizhuo Gongwen.It seems that the Xian Wang faction believes that Kang Wang's people did it, so just don't use those useless tricks.

Passing by the main street, in an unremarkable alley, Zhao Min found Zhao Yuan's person.

Follow them and come near a private house.

Zhao Min didn't show up right away, but observed for a while, and when there were only two people left in the room, he knocked on the door.

Zhou Tang's voice came from the room: "Who is it?"

Zhou Tang was very vigilant. He held the knife and stuck it to the door, and looked out through the crack of the door. Seeing that it was Zhao Min, he put the knife away, opened the door, and looked behind Zhao Min. No one was following him. So he brought Zhao Min closer to the house.

"Junior brother is really courageous." Zhou Tang looked a little excited: "Junior brother has made a great contribution this time, congratulations!"

Dong Ran was also in the room, but he and Zhao Min had a bad temper, and there was no smile on his face.Zhao Min ignored Dong Ran, but leaned into the chair, grabbed the teapot on the table, and drank it with his mouth.

After taking a few sips, he put down the teapot: "What's the situation at the palace? Is Kang Wang praising me or scolding me?"

Zhou Tang smiled bitterly and sat down: "Of course I cursed a few times, but in my opinion..."

Before Zhou Tang finished speaking, Zhao Min stood up: "That's good. I can go back."

After saying that, Zhao Min got up and left, but Zhou Tang stopped him with his hand: "The younger brother is so capable, why don't you stay and help the brothers."

Zhao Min raised his hand and pushed Zhou Tang's hand away: "I did learn martial arts from Dugu Jian, and I admit that he is my master, but don't forget, I am also a grandson myself."

Zhou Tang said: "Senior brother is blunt, but he still knows his identity. But in Brother Yu's opinion, junior brother is not very highly regarded by King Kang. But I think you are better than Zhao Yuan. If you stay, if we can accomplish great things, we will wait for you I will make things clear in front of Kang Wang. By then, Kang Wang will know who is strong and who is weak."

Zhao Min's footsteps hesitated a little, but he didn't stop, and strode away.

……

At night, the sound of whipping came from Kang Wang's mansion.

Unsurprisingly, after Zhao Min returned to the palace, King Kang Zhao Di burst into anger, roared, and wanted to execute the sentence himself.He said he wanted to beat Zhao Min to death, but after hitting him more than a dozen times, he was out of breath. At this moment, everyone came forward to persuade him, helped King Kang to sit down, and the execution was over.

Amid Kang Wang's cursing, Zhao Min returned to the East Wing.He did not evict.

Kang Wang's whips were worse than that of an eunuch, and Zhao Min felt that Zhao Di's strength was weaker than Zhao Fan's.

And these few whips are like being slapped in the face by a willow branch to a master of the nine realms. It hurts, but it doesn't hurt.

Zhao Min was sitting alone in the Wangyang Pavilion, looking to the south with empty eyes.

No one knew what he was thinking at this time.

At this time, a person who looked exactly like him walked into Wangyang Pavilion.

Zhao Fan was holding a jug of wine in his hand and chicken legs and steamed buns in his pocket. He opened the yellow paper to reveal the food and put it beside Zhao Min.

"You performed very well this time. Kang Wang asked me to send these wine and meat. He also said..."

"Don't say it."

Zhao Min was too lazy to listen to those words, so he grabbed the jug and took a sip.

Zhao Fan sighed, sat down and said, "I can understand your eagerness to make contributions, but this time you are too risky. The so-called narrow escape is nothing more than that."

Zhao Min snorted coldly: "Those people couldn't outrun me. At that time, I just needed to outrun them, and there was no need to outrun the cavalry."

Zhao Fan glanced at Zhao Min: "Min, we grew up together, and no one knows you better than me. Before, I could guess eighty-nine points of what you were thinking. But in the past two years, I don't know what happened. , I don’t think I can see through you.”

"What do you mean?"

"If you are working for Kang Wang, I don't think you need to work so hard."

"What do you want to say?"

Zhao Fan turned his head and smiled: "Now I feel a little bit like before. I think you are trying to hide something."

Zhao Min remained silent and continued drinking.

Zhao Fan also stopped talking.

Not long after Zhao Min drank half a pot of wine, Zhao Fan remained silent, but stood up, making a gesture to leave.

But before he left, he turned his back and asked, "I really don't know what kind of person it is, it's worth your effort."

Zhao Min drank very little, and felt a little dizzy after drinking half a jug of wine. He stared at Zhao Fan and said, "A scholar dies for his confidant."

Zhao Fan turned his head slightly, and Zhao Min quickly added, "Kang Kang is my confidant, hahaha."

Zhao Fan felt that he was getting bored, shook his sleeves, and planned to walk away.

He has taken a step forward, but he still stands firm: "If you are an outsider, I have already left. But you are different, even if you don't want to hear it, I have to advise you, nothing in life is worth fighting for your life."

Zhao Min stood up: "You know that I don't like to hear these words, but you insist on saying these annoying things. Do you think I am willing to fight? But if I don't fight, God will not give me anything in vain. I If you work hard, there will be rewards. Including you, now you can be the master bookkeeper in Kangwang Mansion, wouldn’t it be me who spelled it out? If it weren’t for me, you would still be your accountant in the small street of Tongjifang. What do you think? Does life have meaning?"

Zhao Fan asked back: "Then what you spelled out is meaningful?"

Veins appeared on Zhao Min's forehead: "Yes, I think it is meaningful. And you have to know, I am fighting not only for others, but also for myself. They are all princes and generals. If they can have ideas, why can't I have?"

Knowing this was the result, Zhao Fan let out a long sigh, waved his sleeves and left.

This is often the case among family members. They know that the other party will not agree with their point of view, but they still have to argue.

In fact, nothing more than concern for their loved ones.

When Zhao Ying left, Zhao Fan also wanted to leave, and he didn't think it was a big deal to be the master of Kang Wangfu.In the past, he thought that King Kang was an upright gentleman, and Princess Liang was a person of virtue. If he stayed in the palace, he would be with the virtuous and virtuous, and it was worth it.

But this year, he has seen a lot.

The performance of Shengren Kang and Concubine Liang Xian made Zhao Fan very disappointed, and he felt relieved.

The reason why he didn't accompany Zhao Ying was because he was reluctant to let his younger brother hang around in King Kang's mansion alone.Zhao Min's temper is too strong, he has offended too many people, and all those people slandered King Kang in front of him.If Zhao Fan hadn't been the chief bookkeeper in the Palace of the King, those people would have been even more unscrupulous.

Including today when Zhao Min was beaten, those adopted sons knew that King Kang was against his will, but they still didn't move. After all, Zhao Fan was the first one to come out and beg King Kang.Only then did Zhang Kang come to help, and he persuaded King Kang to retreat.

Obviously Zhao Fan was disheartened and regretted walking into Kang Wang's mansion.

Moreover, Zhao Fan also discovered that no matter how hard these sons and grandsons worked, their status could not surpass that slave——Zhang Kang.
