These days, the fifth young master of the Tianliang Zhao family has been in a good mood.

First, they burned down a street of the Ning family, and then sank several of the opponent's ships. Even the dock controlled by the Ning family was in a state of chaos and lost its order.

This is all his handiwork.

Fifth Young Master Zhao Lei likes the feeling of turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain.

He has done a lot of things over the years, and he does all the dirty and tiring work that his brothers at home are unwilling to do.

And this kind of dedication paid off. Not only did he gradually gain his own power, but his family also recognized him more and more.

This can be seen from the fact that his father sent him a guard like Uncle Li.

Almost every child of the Zhao family will have such a guardian in the natal realm. This is not only a sign of the strength of the Zhao family as one of the top ten aristocratic families, but also means that the family fully recognizes him.

This was not easy for Zhao Lei, who was born as a concubine, but he was also very happy at the same time.

It can be said that Zhao Lei is the heir who has the most sense of belonging to the Zhao family. If anyone is unfavorable to the Zhao family, he will do the same as before, even if it is dirty work and no one can see anyone, he will do it clearly.

This revenge against the Ning family was all on the minds of the brothers, but in the end it was him who carried it out.

He is also very aware of the benefits of doing so. The Zhao family has a large sphere of influence, and the second brother's influence is one of the best among these brothers.

Because the eldest brother is away from home all the time, it is the second brother who the father relies on the most.

As expected, the Ning family chose to swallow their anger for what they did.

After all, the Ning family today is no longer the Ning family that controlled everything and had close ties with the royal family a hundred years ago. In their eyes, they are just a down-and-out family with no financial resources.

They believed that the Ning family could bear this little pain.

Unknowingly, Zhao Lei believed more and more that most happiness is brought about by the pain of others.

Because seeing the suffering of the Ning family, he couldn't help but feel happy.

So in this pavilion, he held a luminous cup engraved with exquisite patterns, swung the grape wine in the cup, and tasted it slowly with a wet expression on his face, feeling very comfortable.

After tasting the wine, Zhao Lei went downstairs again and went to his favorite stable.

Zhao Lei, the fifth young master of the Zhao family in Tianliang, loves horses very much, especially this "Yinxue" which is his favorite.

Yinxue's body is completely white, her mane is silver, and her muscles are extremely smooth without any blemishes.

This is a pure exotic horse.

There are many big shots in the capital who love horses, and some even buy a huge piece of land on the outskirts of the capital as a horse farm. However, this kind of love is not just about the value of the horses themselves, but more towards the type of antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

And Zhao Lei's love for horses is even deeper.

He likes the feeling of being with horses. Every time he does something that makes him feel sick, he will stay in the horse farm for a while and gain peace.

It can be said that these horses comforted him when he was not recognized.

He had given BMWs to many people, including his closest brothers and sisters, but he had never had such thoughts about this Yinxue.

In Zhao Lei's heart, even if he gave away his woman, he would not give away this horse.

In other words, in a sense, this Yinxue has far surpassed his wife in his heart.

He would always remember the first time he saw Yinxue, when she was just a little pony, and he was already overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, this kind of love lasted for ten years, and even watching it grow up gave me an additional feeling of companionship.

After taking a good look at his own horse and touching it repeatedly, Zhao Lei went to the dining room and started tonight's dinner, feeling particularly relaxed.

He likes the scenery outside the window very much, the wide horse farm and the distant green grass. When the sunset shines on it, it has a sense of beauty that has passed away.

Dining in this kind of environment always makes people feel happy.

Unable to bear it, Fifth Young Master Zhao Lei drank two more drinks.

He doesn't have many hobbies in life, so this is a rare pastime.

After eating, Zhao Lei walked towards his residence under the afterglow of the setting sun.

He will read in his room for a while and then go to bed.

This is a habit that the Fifth Young Master has developed over the years. His servants and guards had already prepared everything. When he entered the courtyard, they dispersed without disturbing him.

Zhao Lei pushed open the door and walked in. The house still smelled of his favorite gardenia fragrance.

After just a moment, his expression became solemn.

Because there is an extra smell of blood in the air.

Zhao Lei couldn't help but draw out his sword and concentrate on it.

He found that the bedding on his bed was arched, as if there was a person hiding.

Without any hesitation, Zhao Lei shouted: "Here comes someone!"

There was no response, and it was as quiet as a dead tomb inside and outside the house.

Zhao Lei endured his violent heartbeat and walked to the edge of the bed, holding a sword in one hand and lifting the quilt with the other.

It was like opening a fermentation jar, and the smell of blood, which was not strong at first, suddenly hit my face.

Zhao Lei sat down on the ground and let out a strange scream.

What knocked him down was not the smell of blood, but the scene on the bed.

Lying on the bed was a horse's head.

The horse's head has snow-white skin and its mane is silver, making it very beautiful.

But now this beauty is mixed with rich blood, giving it a broken beauty.

The horse's eyes were open, as if he were still alive.

But the bloody broken neck told him that it would never wake up again.

His most beloved pony Yinxue was killed!

Before the anger could spread, fear had completely occupied the heart of the fifth young master Zhao Lei.

Involuntarily, he thought of his bodyguard, Uncle Li.

But guards are also human beings. Uncle Li is very strong, but he also has his own life.

There are two days in January when Uncle Li will do his own things, and today happens to be the day when Uncle Li is not around.

The opponent's method was like a sharp dagger, hitting his vital point without warning.

Looking at the quiet courtyard, Zhao Lei felt like he was being put into a coffin.

He boldly went out and finally found traces of his personal guards.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They are not dead, they are just unconscious.

Traces of quicklime are faintly visible in the eyes that are open or closed, and some people's eyes give people a roasted feeling.

The air was even filled with the faint smell of barbecue, which made Zhao Lei's eyes hurt.

He looked around, and always felt that there was a pair or two pairs of eyes watching him in a cold corner, just like when he and several brothers were in the attic, looking at Ning Kuan.

He was certain that his complexion at this moment would never be much better than Ning Kuan's at that time.

Is this the Ning family’s revenge?

...

After that day, the fifth young master of the Zhao family became seriously ill.

When the young masters of the Zhao family heard what happened that day, their spines felt a little chilly.

The protection around Lao Wu was not bad, but the opponent was able to easily cut off the head of Lao Wu's beloved horse and place it on his bed silently.

The battle-hardened guards around him were quietly dealt with.

If the other party thought about it, Lao Wu would probably lose his life on the spot.

What worries them most is not only the opponent's elusive means, but also the opponent's ability to collect intelligence.

Almost all the heirs of the Zhao family are protected by masters in the natal realm, but these masters are also human beings and they also need to rest.

There are always one or two days every month when these masters will deal with their own affairs and will not be with their young masters for the time being.

However, this kind of thing is strictly confidential and irregular. Before the experts leave, there are even people who pretend to be them, giving people the illusion that they are by the young master of the Zhao family anytime and anywhere.

It's a pity that these arrangements were ruthlessly seen through by the other party.

The other party was like a seasoned snake catcher, who would hit the snake seven inches straight if he didn't take action.

Without thinking, they knew that this was the Ning family's revenge.

The Ning family did not take any further action and only killed one horse. This could be said to be a warning.

The young masters all felt fear in their hearts, and even began to doubt whether the people around them had spies from the Ning family.

From their perspective, other than the fact that there is a traitor, it is difficult to explain why the Ning family is so knowledgeable about Lao Wu's situation.

What they don't know is that some things are difficult for people to do, but they are easy for a cat.

The cooperation between Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi is perfect. With the help of the cat Lin Xiangzhi, Ji Que can be said to have opened up the perspective.
