I hang up and lie flat in the world of martial arts

Chapter 143 The Heart of the Zhao Family
Before Dayong ruled the world, for nearly 200 years, the entire land of the Central Plains was in a state of leaderless dragons.

War, famine... are the labels of this era.

Also because there is no stable regime, there are not many historical materials handed down.

Because of his own blood, he made up for Qi Xuan of Dayong's Li family. He only knew that before Dayong, the name of the last unified dynasty was "Liang".

In any book, the records of the Liang Dynasty are all mentioned in one stroke.

I only know that after the Liang Dynasty, there was a dark age that lasted for nearly 200 years.

It was also at this stage that the Jianghu finally formed the pattern of the seven sects.

The restoration of the order of the rivers and lakes has affected the world. With the assistance of the seven sects, the two brothers named Li Zhao and Li Hao raised the flag of righteousness and finally unified the Central Plains, so that the people in the Central Plains can live and work in peace.

Of course, these contents all come from the official historical materials of Dayong.

More or less landscaping is a given.

"So it seems that the establishment of Dayong was not the result of the seven sects' full support that the imperial court has always preached, and finally managed to unify the world?" Qi Xuan couldn't help asking.

Zhao Lingyue sat directly on the ground, and then let out a long sigh of relief, a trace of tiredness appeared in her eyes, but there was still a smile on her mouth: "Dayong was able to be established, and the seven sects naturally contributed, otherwise the imperial court alone Strength, how could it be possible to suppress the martial arts that has not been restrained for hundreds of years."

As the saying goes, chivalry is prohibited by martial arts, especially at that time when the Central Plains was in a state of leaderless dragons. Some forces in the rivers and lakes themselves had replaced the role of the government, and could even be regarded as forces that ruled one side.

Under such circumstances, how could those forces in the world who own their own territory sit back and watch the emergence of Dayong.

No matter how high the martial arts of the Taizu and Taizong brothers are, they cannot stop the wave after wave of hidden arrows.

What's more, the generals and officials under them are not as good at martial arts as the two of them.

Zhao Lingyue went on to say: "Actually, before the patriarch devoted himself to Dayong, the Zhao family had already ruled the princes in the south of the Yangtze River, and the financial resources and manpower they possessed even surpassed that of Li Zhao, the great ancestor of Dayong who was still precarious in the north at that time."

In other words, the Zhao family in the early days was a more powerful prince than Li Zhao, the great ancestor of Yong Dynasty who had just risen.

This point is not recorded in the books Qi Xuan read.

But he was not surprised.

The Zhao family has such a special physique, and it does not affect fertility. The speed and quality of producing masters through their own blood may surpass the seven sects at that time.

In troubled times, with the support of such a tyrannical top force, it is hard not to achieve a great cause.

"Actually, the ancestor didn't know that the Li brothers were the descendants of the Li family who fled from the south of the Yangtze River. He just heard that there were two ignorant boys in the north who cheated a fortune from the family, so they dared to fight Under the banner of unifying the world, they rose up."

Stealing a sum of money from the clan...

This is probably the story of Qi Xuan's mother's branch.

The Li brothers' uprising did not go smoothly, especially when most of the north was under the control of the Tartars.

In the end, the legendary Taizu Emperor Li Zhao somehow ran to the south of the Yangtze River alone, and found the head of the Zhao family at that time, who was later Dayong's first chief assistant.

Li Zhao confessed his origin, and promised that after he ruled the world, he would do his best to help the Zhao and Li families lift the curse of their bloodlines.

As a result, the ancestor of the Zhao family really believed it.

With the affluent Jiangnan as the rear, Taizu Li Zhao pacified the north in less than two years.

Later, with the help of the Zhao family, a local snake, they quickly took over the South.

In less than three years, the world was unified.

Listening to Zhao Lingyue's narration, Qi Xuan said bluntly: "That patriarch of your family, why is he so sure that the Emperor Taizu at that time will be able to unify the world, and will keep his promise in the future?"

Zhao Lingyue: "Because Li Zhao had already cultivated the Imperial Dragon True Qi of the Li clan at that time, if he didn't want to solve the blood problem, he would be the first to die."

Having said this, Qi Xuan became even more puzzled: "I remember that after the Emperor Taizu unified the world, he was the emperor for five years before he died. Since he had already cultivated the true energy of the imperial dragon, why... did he live for so long? ?”

Didn't it mean that once the dragon's blood was activated, he would definitely die within three years?
"This is also the reason why the ancestor is willing to believe him." Zhao Lingyue said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know what method he used, but he did break the curse of the blood of the Li family. lived a long time."

"So..." Qi Xuan seemed to have noticed something, "Li Zhao didn't die five years after he ascended the throne, he faked his death!"

Zhao Lingyue turned her head to look at Qi Xuan, and couldn't help smiling: "You are very smart, the Taizu Emperor Li Zhao was indeed a fake death at that time, and even came to find the ancestor before he disappeared completely."

"He faked his death at that time in order to follow the agreement with the ancestor and find a solution to the blood problem of the two races."

"And, he even admitted in front of the ancestor that he has found a clue."

Zhao Lingyue suddenly frowned: "But...after he left the capital, he completely lost the news."

"Could it be the dragon's blood burning to death?" Qi Xuan guessed.

Zhao Lingyue shook her head: "Probably not. More than ten years later, the old ancestor in his later years received a letter from him, and then he returned home and returned to Qianhu Villa. He also disappeared shortly thereafter."

After all, Zhao Lingyue sighed slightly: "This is the first person in the history of my Zhao family who has disappeared. In order to find him, I don't know how much effort the Zhao family has spent."

At this moment, Qi Xuan suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps.

He couldn't help looking in the direction of the stone chamber door.

After a while, a figure appeared.

"Gao Jie?"

Seeing the person coming, Qi Xuan couldn't help frowning.

The person who came was Gao Jie, the guard of Qi Mansion, and he was holding a very familiar wooden box in his hand.

"My lord, Second Miss Zhao!" Gao Jie was also shocked when he saw Qi Xuan, and then he glanced around, and soon discovered something was wrong in the stone room.

Zhao Lingyue got up with a smile, walked towards Gao Jie, and explained, "I was the one who notified him."

As he spoke, he took the wooden box from Gao Jie's hand.

turn on.

Inside was a black dagger.

Qi Xuan recognized at a glance that this was the dagger that Zhao Lingyue gave him earlier.

"Boss Gao, thank you for your hard work." Zhao Lingyue caressed the blade with her plain hand, and then said to the dazed Gao Jie, "Please take this man out, Chief Gao, don't hurt him, it will be of great use in the future. "

Gao Jie looked in the direction indicated by Zhao Lingyue's eyes, and there lay a man with faint breath, it was Zhu Shengjing.

Gao Jie couldn't help looking up at his son.

Qi Xuan responded to Gao Jie's gaze and nodded.

After Gao Jie took Zhu Shengjing out.

Zhao Lingyue came to the ice sculpture.

Qi Xuan couldn't help following behind her.

"This dagger..." Qi Xuan said, last time he discovered that this dagger could have some kind of connection with the blood in his body, so he kept it.

"At that time, I didn't know who the person who attacked my grandfather was, so I thought it would be safer to put 'Ni Lin' with you." Zhao Lingyue raised the dagger as she spoke, pointing the blade at the heart of the "Ice Sculpture" that had completely melted .

She suddenly leaned forward, whispered "Grandpa" in the ear of "Bing Sculpture", and then exerted a little force in her hands...

Qi Xuan opened his eyes slightly, and he could clearly see that the heart that had been tightly wrapped by pitch-black scales showed a slight crack the moment Zhao Lingyue opened his mouth.

And it was this little gap that drove the "Ni Lin" in Zhao Lingyue's hand straight into the heart.

The sound of sharp blades piercing flesh and blood kept lingering in Qi Xuan's mind.

The heart that was beating violently with "bang bang bang..." returned to calm in an instant.

Qi Xuan's eyes couldn't help falling on Zhao Lingyue's face.

Although the black hair on his head has become white, his profile is still shockingly beautiful.

There was no expression on Zhao Lingyue's face, and she gently withdrew the dagger.

"As long as the Nixin Lin is completely closed, it means that this person is dead." Zhao Lingyue's voice sounded, "This body is just a container for this 'Dragon Heart', which is the heart of every Zhao family member. fate.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Lingyue turned her head to look at Qi Xuan, with a smile on her pale face: "In the future, you...don't show mercy to me!"

……

……

The Zhao family will not die.

But in the end, it is hard to say whether it is a "human being" who lives.

It's the same bloodline as the Li family on Qi Xuan.

As Taizu Dayong said, this is not a gift from heaven, but a curse.

On the carriage back to Fucheng.

Qi Xuan looked at Zhao Lingyue, who was resting with her eyes closed, and asked after much thought: "If you don't care, what will your grandpa...be like in the end?"

Zhao Lingyue slowly opened her eyes after hearing the words: "Did you know that there is a strange thing called 'Longevity Mushroom' in southern Xinjiang, which is said to be immortal, and its body can grow underground to cover a radius of tens of miles. "

Some disgusting images suddenly appeared in Qi Xuan's mind.

Seeing the change in Qi Xuan's face, Zhao Lingyue couldn't help but raise her mouth slightly: "Do you know what material Wang Dan is made of?"

Before Qi Xuan could respond, Zhao Lingyue went on to say: "The Human King... is dead, and the Human King Pill is made from the dead meat of the Zhao clan."

"I still remember that I said that the ancestor of the Zhao family who assisted Dayong in founding the country was the only one who disappeared. I think the person Wang Dan who appeared during this time should be his flesh... "

The Zhao family's "Dragon Heart" can continuously provide vitality.

Even after the death of the Zhao family, the "Dragon Heart" will continue to beat and continue to provide abundant vitality.

The flesh and blood of the Zhao family will indeed contain vigorous vitality.

And the abundant vitality of Human Wang Dan...

Qi Xuan suddenly felt a little motion sickness.

……

The carriage stopped at the gate of Qianhu Villa.

Before Zhao Lingyue got off the car, she handed the box containing "Ni Lin" to Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan didn't reach out his hand immediately.

Zhao Lingyue sighed softly: "Except for you, I don't know who to give this thing to."

Qi Xuan said in a deep voice: "I was born in the Zhao family like you, why did Zhao Wuji, Zhao Lingxin and the others not inherit the 'Dragon Heart' like you."

Could it be that they are not the blood of the Zhao family?
"Don't think too much, they are of the Zhao family's blood." Zhao Lingyue shook her head and said, "It's just that the Nixin scales on his heart were removed when he was born."

Qi Xuan: "Can you still cut it off?"

Zhao Lingyue nodded: "Yes, it is possible, but once the scales of Nixin are cut off, the heart will be no different from that of ordinary people, even worse than ordinary people because of the wound."

Qi Xuan recalled that Zhao Lingxin usually had a sick face.

Qi Xuan looked up at Zhao Lingyue who was holding the box, and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Actually, as long as the Li family doesn't practice martial arts, and the Zhao family cut off the Nixin scale after birth, there won't be so many troubles."

After all, he took the box.

Zhao Lingyue just smiled slightly: "It would be great if it was really that simple. Without the huge family property of Qianhu Villa, Zhao Wuji and Zhao Lingxin might not be able to live today."

Qi Xuan also laughed lightly and said: "If you don't have your good martial arts, you can't keep the huge family business of Qianhu Villa."

After Qi Xuan finished speaking, he looked directly into Zhao Lingyue's eyes.

The two men met their eyes and couldn't help but smile at each other.

Li's "Dragon Blood" or Zhao's "Dragon Heart".

Although they have brought countless pains, they are born with abilities and talents far beyond ordinary people.

Back to that question again.

Do you want to be a hero for a minute or a coward for life.

Judging from the situation of the Zhao and Li families.

In the face of this problem, I am afraid that there is no choice.

Or, like the Zhao family, sacrifice one person to make the whole family happy.

Or, like the Li family, find another way, whether it is the Mu brothers' Shenlongquan, or Huang Zhonghu's Huangxi Zhenqi, you can see the efforts of the Li family.

Zhao Lingyue jumped out of the carriage.

Qi Xuan lifted the curtain of the car and was about to say goodbye when Zhao Lingyue seemed to remember something, took out something from her bosom and threw it to Qi Xuan.

"It was found from Meng Xuance, I think you should be interested."

is a token.

It is exactly the same as the "Chujiang King" token in Qi Xuan's hand.

"The inscription on this token should represent 'King of the Wheel'." Zhao Lingyue said.

So, Meng Xuance is the wheel-running king.

When Qi Xuan looked away from the token, he found that Zhao Lingyue had already entered the gate of Qianhu Villa.

He couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, then told Gao Jie, who was driving the car, to turn around and go home!

……

Oiran Jinhua's spring trip caused quite a stir.

But not many know that so many things happened in the Yizhuang in the outskirts.

Zhao Lingyue's people handled the funeral very cleanly.

He didn't even hear the rumors of the old master Zhao's death.

It seems that Zhao Lingyue still intends to keep hiding it.

As for the dead Meng Xuance and Han Feng.

A few days later, a shocking news appeared in Jianghu.

The "Hero of the East China Sea" Zhu Shengjing appeared in Ning'an Mansion, killed Meng Xuance, and took away the first post in his hand.

A wave of waves has risen again.

"Heavenly Sword" Han Feng took the initiative to find Zhu Shengjing in order to wash away the shame of being defeated by Meng Xuance, but unexpectedly, he was still defeated by Zhu Shengjing and lost his life.

Two well-known masters died in a row, and suddenly the whole martial arts became turbulent.

……

"She really dares to do it." Qi Xuan, who was reclined on the soft bed, enjoyed Qingqing's massage while looking at the letter Gao Jie just presented, and couldn't help laughing.

Just looking at it, it was clear that it was Zhao Lingyue's handwriting.

"That...Young Master." Gao Jie, who stood with his head bowed, said, "Second Miss Zhao asked my subordinates to ask you, Master, if you are interested in the treasures on Cangliu Island?"

It seems that this is the purpose of Zhao Lingyue's wishing Shengjing a life.

She was also thinking about the wealth on Cangliu Island.

"Second Miss Zhao said, if you are willing to sell the young master, you can give her three or three of everything on the island." Gao Jie continued.

Qi Xuan didn't even bother to lift his eyelids: "Go and tell Zhao Lingyue, don't tell her exactly what's on Cangliu Island that is worth her concern, otherwise don't try to trick me into doing it."

Qi Xuan understood now.

I'm afraid that when the "King of the East China Sea" and his wife were disturbed, this woman probably already planned to attack Cangliu Island.

Thinking of Zhu Shengjing, who was also a famous "Hero of the East China Sea", but now in the hands of a woman, I don't know what it feels like.

……

Qianhu Villa dungeon.

Zhu Shengjing, who was pierced through the lute bone by two iron chains, couldn't help raising his head slightly, and looked at the woman sitting in a grand teacher's chair directly opposite him.

He grinned at the corner of his mouth and said with pain: "No wonder my father repeatedly told me not to provoke the Zhao family before he passed away. Now it seems that the old man is not alarmist."

Zhao Lingyue replied indifferently: "I was able to let your Zhu family live in Cangliu Island purely because my grandfather was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to do anything to my playmates who grew up."

Zhu Shengjing's expression froze when he heard the words.

Zhao Lingyue had already stood up, came to Zhu Shengjing, said condescendingly and expressionlessly: "That's why I rejected the playmate my grandfather found for me back then."

"People who practice martial arts should have no worries, are you right?"

Zhu Shengjing was silent for a while, then said, "What do you want?"

"Before I tell you what I want, you have to tell me, who are you and your dead father doing for all these years?"
