The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 69 Zhao Feiyan

In the inner city, in the huge Zhao family mansion, many servants were walking back and forth, preparing wine and food under the moonlit night.

The courtyard is deep, the pond is quiet, the red bricks and green tiles, the glazed golden walls, the green trees are continuous, the flowers are in full bloom; there is nothing more luxurious and wealthy than this in the world.

In this Jiangnan garden, as soon as you turn around a long corridor, you will see a clear spring. The long corridor goes across the mirror-like water surface and directly connects to a water pavilion in the center.

Inside the attic, a table that could accommodate twelve people was laid out with a variety of delicacies and drinks, and servants would occasionally bring in new dishes and drinks from outside.

All the delicacies available in Guangling Prefecture are now on the table.

Nine young gentlemen in bright clothes were drinking together under the moon.

"Come on, everyone, please."

After finishing their cups, the group of young men started chatting about anecdotes of the underworld and romantic matters. Naturally, the topic would turn to Xun Ge'er, who was also a young man.

"I heard that a man named Fang Xun came to our Guangling Prefecture and was appointed as a deputy commander in the army. He plans to take advantage of the support of the Tianli Cult to get a promotion to the Six Gates in two or three months."

"Isn't that the disciple of the Iron Hand Divine Constable? I don't know him very well, but he is not of the same kind as us anyway."

"From the rumors outside, he sounds quite powerful, but he is just a rough guy from the countryside, how powerful can he be?"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about Fang Xun anymore. Let's talk about your sister Feiyan. Brother Zhao, I heard that half a month ago, the Tianluo Sect officially offered a betrothal gift to your Zhao family. Is this true?"

Xun Ge'er's topic started and ended quickly. After he mentioned "Sister Feiyan", everyone fell silent and all looked at "Brother Zhao" sitting in the main seat.

I saw that this brother Zhao looked vaguely similar to Zhao Tianya. He shook his head and smiled, "You are well-informed. Yes, Feiyan will marry into Tianluo Mountain at the end of the year."

"Congratulations, congratulations, that person is the grandmaster's son."

"Your Zhao family has finally found a big tree to lean on."

"Oh, I heard that in addition to gold and treasures, the betrothal gift also includes a 'Jade Spirit Pill'. Congratulations."

Hearing these congratulations, the corners of Brother Zhao's mouth curled up unconsciously.

The fact that his family could marry the Grand Master was initially arranged by him, and there would definitely be benefits after the success.

"If I could get some guidance from a master, there would be great hope for enlightenment!"

Just as Mr. Zhao was lost in his thoughts, no one noticed that a dark figure appeared on the courtyard wall.

The bronze ghost mask with green face and fangs was particularly sinister in the shadows. The Seven Killers stared at Master Zhao with his deep eyes for a long while before looking away.

With a tap of the toes, the body floated down the high wall. It seemed very light and slow, but in fact it landed in a moment and floated forward in the shadows.

In the elegant and quiet garden, servants serving a group of young masters came and went, but no one noticed that there was one more person in the courtyard.

The Zhao family mansion covers a very large area and the routes are complicated. Outsiders who come in will easily get lost if they are not careful.

But when the Seven Killing Envoys walked in the Zhao Mansion, it was as if he was at home.

Along the way, he easily avoided everyone and came to Zhao Tianya's study with familiarity.

After staying in the study for a while, not knowing what he did, he left the study and walked towards a nearby room.

When the Seventh Envoy walked outside the door, he saw two maids in their prime, with pretty faces and dressed in emerald green palace costumes waiting outside the door.

What was strange was that when the two saw the Seven Killing Envoys coming towards them, they didn't react at all.

As the Qi Sha Envoy's footsteps got closer, they heard a conversation coming from the side room.

"Fei Yan, why don't you understand? We are doing this for your own good. Qi Tianlin is the son of a great master. Why are you, you?!"

Suddenly, the man's voice rose sharply, but the next moment, the room became quiet. At this time, he just walked to the door and stopped.

The two maids gently opened the door, and saw a young woman in light yellow clothes slowly walking out of the room.

The woman's waist did not move as she walked, and her jade-like face was not made up.

The light yellow dress fits her body tightly, outlining her graceful figure perfectly.

After seeing the hideous bronze ghost mask, the woman did not show any fear. Instead, a smile that made all the flowers pale in comparison blossomed on her face, and her voice was as sweet as the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.

"You came."

The Seven Assassins nodded. Although his voice was still like the friction of metal, neither male nor female, it was obviously softer.

"Fei Yan, leave the rest to me."

Feiyan stared at the Seven Assassins steadily, her eyes seemed to have thousands of words to say, but when she thought of the business, she suppressed her desire and left the room quickly with two maids. The Seven Assassins walked into the room, closed the door, and turned to look at the other person in the room.

Then he saw a middle-aged man who looked 80% similar to Zhao Tianya, sitting motionless on a chair.

As if his acupuncture points had been pressed, the only emotion that could be expressed was his eyes, which were filled with disbelief.

The Seven Assassins slowly walked to the man's side, moved a chair and sat down.

"Zhao Tianming, blame your son if you want to blame him. He took the initiative to let Qi Tianlin and Feiyan come into contact. If that's the case, you, Zhao Tianya, and your son have no right to live."

In an instant, anger, panic, and confusion filled Zhao Tianming's eyes.

After the Seven Assassins finished speaking, he became quiet, as if he was quietly waiting for something.

As time passed, Zhao Tianming felt that every second was as long as a year, and the fear of the unknown kept tormenting his heart.

He had no idea who the bronze ghost-faced man in front of him was, nor how his niece knew him. But when he wanted to ask, he couldn't even move his mouth.

At this moment, he could only sit there motionless, staring at the evil ghost in front of him that looked like it had crawled out of hell.

The moon is high in the sky and the night wind is blowing.

The streets of Guangling Prefecture were still bustling with people, and the banquet at the parade ground in the east of the city was gradually dispersing.

Zhao Tianya happened to be traveling the same way as Fang Xun, Wei Lin, and Jiang Bie, and the four of them chatted and laughed along the way, at least that was the case on the surface.

After walking in the inner city for a while, the two sides parted ways and watched each other's gradually disappearing backs.

Fang Xun asked Wei Lin, "Master, Uncle Jiang, I feel like this guy doesn't even take General Wang seriously. Is the Zhao family so domineering?"

Zhao Tianya’s behavior in the previous training ground had already puzzled him. Although they were both masters of the Awakening Realm, Wang Xuanshan was his superior after all. Was it really okay for him to be so domineering?
Wei Lin also said with a smile, which was full of sarcasm: "Have you heard of the saying 'The two beauties of Jiangzhou, Jiaolong and Feiyan'?"

Jiang Bie also curled his lips and said, "It's all because Zhao Tianya gave birth to a good daughter who is about to become the grandmaster's in-law. Not pointing at Wang Xuanshan and scolding him is already considered reserved."

Fang Xun said thoughtfully, "Are you talking about Zhao Feiyan and Yu Jiaolong? Is Zhao Feiyan going to marry someone, and the one she is marrying is the son of a master? Who is it?"

"Qi Tianlin from the Tianluo Sect."

After Wei Lin and Jiang Bie explained it so simply, he understood.

Zhao Feiyan from the Zhao family of Guangling Prefecture, and Yu Jiaolong, the chief commander of the Six Gates of Jiangzhou, were both so beautiful that they could make fish sink to the bottom of their chests and geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame on flowers. They were known as the "Twin Beauties of Jiangzhou".

Fang Xun, the Jade Dragon, didn't know much about it, but Zhao Feiyan, a local of Guangling Prefecture, knew something about it.

Although Zhao Feiyan possessed an extremely beautiful appearance, she was more than just a vase.

He is nineteen years old this year, only a few months older than Fang Xun, but he was promoted to the Xiantian realm three years ago.

This was only her achievement in martial arts. It was rumored that within ten years, the Zhao family’s business flourished, with revenue increasing threefold, making them the richest people in Guangling.

At least half of the credit should be attributed to Zhao Feiyan, who lived in seclusion in the boudoir.

Now Zhao Feiyan is getting married, and her husband is the son of a master. She is about to become the master's in-law, so it doesn't matter if Zhao Tianya is a little arrogant.

The status of a Grandmaster in the Divine Will Realm is extremely honorable, and the fact that a doctor cannot be punished is a thing of the past. However, the unspoken rule that a Grandmaster cannot be punished has always existed from ancient times to the present.

A grandmaster, as long as he does not encounter opponents of the same level among thousands of troops, can remain unscathed even if he goes in and out seven times to mow down the enemies.

For example, Xue Ren, the leader of Tianwang Water Stronghold, gathered 30,000 tigers in Qinggang Mountain deep in the Corridor Mountains, but the Jiangzhou Prefecture army pretended not to know.

As long as Xue Ren does not openly rebel, the imperial court will not take the initiative to provoke him.

Even now, Yue Shan, who was born in Tianluo Sect and later joined Tianwang Water Stronghold, has been confirmed to have colluded with Tianli Sect to rebel.

But there was no sign that the Jiangzhou officials were causing trouble for the Tianluo Sect and the Tianwang Water Stronghold. There might have been some secret exchanges that Fang Xun was unaware of, but on the surface everything seemed to be at peace.

The deterrent power of a master in the realm of divine will can be seen here.

"Haha, Zhao Tianya is really lucky to be able to become a relative of a master."

Shaking his head, Fang Xun said this and didn't think any more about it.

bang——

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the sky. Fang Xun and the other two changed their expressions and immediately looked up.

Just then, a firework was seen scattered in the sky. Jiang Bie was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "It was the Zhao family's flare. Setting off flares in the city? Something happened to the Zhao family?"
