Chapter 284
"Your Majesty Suzhou Prefect Ji Wenyu pays homage to His Royal Highness Duan Wang." In the back hall of Suzhou City Prefect's yamen, Suzhou Prefect Ji Wenyu respectfully paid homage to Zhao Ji.

"Get up, Lord Ji, this king is going on a small tour this time, and I don't want too many people to know my whereabouts." With a wave of his hand, the guards moved a seat for Zhao Ji to sit down.

"Yes, I understand." Ji Wenyu nodded and stood up, looking at Zhao Ji: "It is really a blessing for Suzhou that King Duan can visit Suzhou."

Zhao Ji waved his hand and said: "There is no need to say these polite words. This king is here this time to ask Mr. Ji about someone."

"As long as the prince has an order, the subordinates must respect it." Ji Wenyu hurriedly bowed to listen.

"This time, Lin Tiannan, the leader of the Jiangnan martial arts alliance in Naluoshizi, held a martial arts competition to recruit relatives. I remember that Mr. Ji was also present, right?" Zhao Ji turned his head and looked at Ji Wenyu and said.

"This... the Lin Family Fort is a wealthy family in Suzhou, and Lin Tiannan is a well-known benevolent man. He sent an invitation, but it is not easy to go, but rest assured, your servant and Lin Tiannan do not have much friendship." Ji Wenyu thought that Zhao Ji wanted to To deal with Lin Tiannan, he hastily disregarded the relationship.

"It doesn't matter, I don't care whether Lord Ji and Lin Tiannan have friendship or not. I just want to know, who was that person surrounded by four beauties when Lin Tiannan was competing in martial arts to recruit relatives that day?" Zhao Ji was impatient. He waved his hand, he is not interested in taking care of these things, and he can't take care of them.

"Is that Mr. Zhuo?" Ji Wenyu thought about it after hearing the words, Zhuo Ao himself has an extraordinary temperament, and there are four beauties around him, it is difficult not to attract his attention, so he said after a long while: "Really? To tell the truth, the servants also asked Lin Tiannan, but Lin Tiannan seemed to be quite jealous of this person, he only said that he was from a wealthy family in the Yuhang area, but he refused to say more about the rest, even refused to tell him his full name. .”

"Oh?" Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It's interesting."

Although he looked down on the green forests of the rivers and lakes, he also knew that with Lin Tiannan's status, if the surname Zhuo was just an ordinary rich man, how could he be regarded as a guest of honor by Lin Tiannan, and after the martial arts competition was over that day, he had entered the Lin Family Fort with Liu Jinyuan , Lin Tiannan is very respectful to Zhuo, and Zhuo's status in Linjiabao seems to be very detached, even the old man next to him, the martial arts people present are very respectful to him.

Maybe, unintentionally, he caught a big fish, Zhao Ji smiled, turned to look at Ji Wenyu and said, "Okay, I know, I'm bothering Master Ji."

"What did your highness say? It is an honor for your highness to come here. Why bother? If your highness doesn't dislike it, I hope your highness can stay here for a few days, so that this lowliness can be a bit of a landlord. friendship." Ji Wenyu said hastily.

"Don't bother me this time. I still have some important things to do. I need to leave immediately. If there is a chance next time, it's not too late to bother me again." Zhao Ji waved his hand, and then left in the midst of Ji Wenyu's respectful send-off Prefect Yamen.

"My lord, shall we go back to Beijing?" A guard pulled Zhao Ji's carriage over and asked.

"No, let's go directly to Hangzhou." Zhao Ji said lightly, leaning on the soft and comfortable cushion.

"Then Mr. Liu..."

"Send someone to tell him that this king wants to take a step ahead. Seeing how he looks like, I'm afraid he won't have the heart to go with this king these days. I really don't know what's wrong with that savage woman. "Zhao Ji shook his head and said.

"Yes, this subordinate will send someone to do it."

Without Zhao Linger's emotional fetters, although Li Xiaoyao was not very happy, he finally agreed to get married. The wedding came to an end amidst the bustle and bustle. On the second day after the wedding, Zhuo Ao bid farewell and left. It's almost time to go back.

"Brother, where are we going now?" After leaving Suzhou City, Zhao Ling'er seemed to be a lot more lively. She didn't like the excitement, especially when there were strangers around.

"It was time to go back." Zhuo Ao looked at the sky and sighed: "But now it seems that going back is not a good place."

"Why?" Zhao Linger looked at Zhuo Ao in puzzlement.

"Because you are the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, you should go back to Nanzhao, not an inconspicuous small village." A cold voice replaced Zhuo Ao's answer, everyone turned their heads to look, but saw a very energetic The old man walked towards him with several black-robed guards.

When people get old, their energy usually decreases, and they look kind or sluggish. The word "spirit" is rarely used on an old man, but when they see this old man, everyone will add this word to this old man. body.

"Who are you?" The old man must have been a warrior in the past, and he was a veteran on the battlefield with countless battle experiences. He had a faint evil spirit, and ghosts and gods turned away. Ordinary people would feel scared just by seeing him. Although Zhao Linger is not an ordinary person , but his mind is no different from that of ordinary people, being captured by his aura, he naturally felt scared, subconsciously shrunk behind Zhuo Ao.

The old man came to Zhao Ling'er with four black Miao warriors. The old man suddenly knelt on one knee and said, "Old minister Shi Gonghu, General of Nanzhao, this time he came to meet the princess and return to Nanzhao at the order of the Witch King."

"I don't want to go back." As if thinking of many unhappy things, Zhao Ling'er pulled Zhuo Ao's skirt and begged: "Brother, I don't want to go back."

"Don't worry." Zhuo Ao stroked Zhao Ling'er's beautiful hair soothingly: "In this world, no one can force you to do what you don't want to do."

"Bold maniac, who are you? How dare you offend the princess's body!?" Elder Shi glared at Zhuo Ao, fixed his eyes on Zhuo Ao's hand that was on Zhao Ling'er's hair, as if he might explode at any time, and smashed this Cut off the palm of the princess's phoenix body.

"Baiyue sent you here?" Zhuo Ao didn't answer, but looked at Elder Shi, and asked indifferently: "Why didn't he dare to come in person?"

"Hmph!" Elder Shi snorted coldly, and said proudly, "I am the general of the Nanzhao Kingdom, an elder of the Moon Worship Sect, and I will only obey the orders of the Witch King in my life!"

Although he didn't say it clearly, it was obvious that in the heart of this stubborn old man, Bai Yue was not qualified to command him.

"Then you can go back and report to your Witch King, just say that Ling'er is very safe with me, don't worry, if I have free time, I will take Ling'er back to see him." Zhuo Ao said indifferently.

"You are presumptuous!" Elder Shi snorted angrily, and slapped out a palm, hitting Zhuo Ao's chest. His martial arts skills are extremely high, and he is by no means inferior to Lin Tiannan. Being hit by this palm, no matter how high your cultivation base is, you will never escape the end of your chest being shattered.

Zhuo Ao is not a top master, no matter how top master is, he is still a mortal, and Zhuo Ao has already jumped out of the level of a mortal, so although this palm can kill any top master, it is useless to Zhuo Ao, Even without making a move, a faint wall of energy lay between the two of them. Elder Shi slapped his palm on the wall of energy, even if he urged all his strength, it was still difficult for him to break through the distance of three feet in front of Zhuo Ao.

"This time, for Ling'er's sake, I will spare your life. Next time, if you dare to attack me rashly, even the heavenly emperor and the devil will not be able to save you!"

Following Zhuo Ao's cold snort, Elder Shi felt a surge of force rushing back, and he couldn't help being sent flying more than ten feet away before barely landing. He looked at Zhuo Ao angrily, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency The grace of not killing, Shi will remember in his heart, but the princess must follow me back to Nanzhao."

"But you can't take her away." Zhuo Ao looked at Elder Shi, smiled and shook his head.

"Yes, the old man is indeed not your opponent." Elder Shi nodded seriously, looked at Zhao Ling'er and said, "Princess Ling'er, Nanzhao has suffered a severe drought, and the people have no crops this year. The Witch King has worked so hard for this, and his body is exhausted. He was seriously ill, and he wanted to see the princess before he died. The old minister was incompetent and failed the Witch King's entrustment, but he was willing to die, so he asked the princess to go back to Nanzhao and see the Witch King for the last time. On the one hand, it also gives hope to the people of Nanzhao!"

A dagger appeared in his hand, and without the slightest hesitation, Elder Shi stabbed hard at his heart.

Zhuo Ao has seen people who don't want their lives, but it is the first time that Zhuo Ao has seen a person who gave his life away for an impossible task, even though he has experienced many worlds.

"Ding~"

The dagger was blown away, Elder Shi is not far away from Zhuo Ao, only ten feet away, within this distance, if Zhuo Ao doesn't want him to die, even if King Yama comes, he can't take him away his life.

"Although this old man is not as good as you, I will never be insulted by you!" Elder Shi glared at Zhuo Ao, his whole body power was reversed, and he wanted to explode his meridians, but this time, he failed again.

"Although your stupid behavior doesn't move me, I happen to be somewhat interested in Nanzhao's affairs." Zhuo Ao narrowed his eyes slightly. Nuwa is dead, but the thoughts she left can make people travel through time and space. In Zhuo Ao's view, this is undoubtedly unbelievable, so he wants to see it.

"Are you willing to help me?" Elder Shi looked at Zhuo Ao with an incredulous expression on his face.

"The result may not be what you want to see." Zhuo Ao shook his head. Although he didn't pay much attention to it back then, it was just some basic information. Zhuo Ao was able to deduce that it might not be the reason behind Lin Qing'er's death. Paying the moon is as simple as that.

No matter how great the influence of worshiping the moon is, at most it is similar to Lin Qinger, the saint of the Bai Miao nationality, but in that coup that forced Lin Qinger to death, almost no one supported Lin Qinger, and as far as Zhuo Ao knew, Back then, the Witch King's control over Nanzhao was not low, at least no worse than Bai Yue and Lin Qing'er. Without the help of the Witch King, Bai Yue would never have been able to force Lin Qing'er to death with such an advantage.

Besides, the king of a clan shouldn't be so cowardly, otherwise how could he overwhelm the officials?

"I hope your Excellency will not interfere too much with my Miao people's affairs." Elder Shi said with a muffled snort.

"Ling'er, I haven't been home for ten years, so it's time to go back to your hometown." Zhuo Ao smiled and said to Ling'er.

"Linger listens to brother." Zhao Linger nodded obediently.

"Your Excellency also want to accompany?" Elder Shi frowned.

"No?" Zhuo Ao looked at Elder Shi and asked back.

"Yes." Elder Shi looked at Zhao Ling'er who was snuggling beside Zhuo Ao, frowned, and finally nodded.
