It is two days away from Yanping City to Fuyun Mountain. At dusk that day, the team camped at the inn on the way. The only teams of emperors and noble families can only set up tents near the inn.

Zhao Ning was idle and saw a small river not far away. The river water was clear and the blue waves were swaying with the afterglow of the sunset. From time to time, small fish jumped out of the water and played with a few orange-red leaves. The picture was quiet and not uneven. This made me think of catching fish and making soup.

He called Zhao Qiyue, Zhao Xin and others and chose a smooth area on the river bank. Zhao Ning, who was excited, rolled up his trouser legs by the forest. Just as he was about to go into the water, the sparkling river suddenly burst into splashes, almost splashing on his face.

Flat stones, like dragonflies, flew straight across the river like water. There were a lot of numbers and there were quite some movements. I don’t know who was drifting the water, and threw them into Zhao Ning, and there were also unrestrained and exaggerated laughter coming from the side.

Zhao Ning stood up straight and looked aside in the sound. Without any surprise, he saw Xu Zhiyuan's hateful and domineering face.

The other party was throwing stones at the river in front of Zhao Ning with several playboys. At least he was waving it seriously to cover it up, but he threw the big stone directly into Zhao Ning.

"Little brat, are you looking for death?" Before Zhao Ning could speak, Zhao Xin, as his cousin, took a step forward with a bad expression and stood up for Zhao Ning.

Seeing Zhao Ning and others looking over, Xu Zhiyuan was not afraid at all. Instead, he sneered and said contemptuously: "This river belongs to your Zhao family. You are only allowed to fish. We can't watch one or two?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a short playboy was behind him, and immediately echoed: "You guys who are rough in the family, when you see the fish, you will only think of touching your mouth. Such a beautiful scenery does not have the elegance of appreciation. It's really a waste of resources. What's the difference between such vulgarity and Hu people?"

This playboy Zhao Ning had seen it in Yanlailou. At that time, the food case was smashed on the other party. It was Liu Xincheng, the legitimate son of Liu Muzhi, the deputy minister of the political affairs officer.

When Liu Xincheng accused Zhao Ning with great righteousness, of course he would not reflect on his behavior just now, and it had nothing to do with elegance.

"Looking for a beating." Zhao Qiyue looked up with gloomy eyes. The general didn't like to quarrel with others and was used to attacking directly.

"Your Majesty is right next to you. How dare you use force here?!" Liu Xincheng shouted, speaking with confidence, but in the face of Zhao Qiyue's pressure, he couldn't help but take a step back.

Xu Zhiyuan dared not to resist Zhao Qiyue's majesty. Seeing that his unhappy purpose of finding Zhao Ning had already achieved, he would decisively stop when he was about his own safety.

"Zhao Ning, if you really have the affair, don't hide behind your brothers and sisters! When you arrive at the hunting ground, come to the ring to fight me. Seeing that I won't beat you up, you will cry and call me!"

After finishing the oral letter, Xu Zhiyuan did not forget to give Zhao Ning a vicious gesture, and then he waved his sleeves in an arrogant manner, turned around and left.

Because of the Yuan Dan, he was promoted to the middle stage of the Qi Realm and consolidated his realm for a long time. Now he is full of confidence and expectation for defeating Zhao Ning, who has achieved the early stage of the Qi Realm, and the humiliation of the Xueyan coming to the Tower.

Zhao Qiyue and Zhao Xin didn't chase after him and beat them up. The emperor's car was not far away, so it was really hard to do it at this time.

Seeing that they were in a bad mood, Zhao Ning comforted him, "Don't worry, if you arrive at the hunting ground, I won't call him Zhao Ning if I don't beat him up all over the ground."

"Ambition!"

"This guy should not be underestimated, Wan Mo is careless."

Zhao Qiyue and Zhao Xin were no longer interested in catching fish, dragged Zhao Ning back to the tent, and couldn't wait to give him some advice on his combat skills.

As they left the river bank, in the attic not far away, there were several middle-aged and elderly men wearing different robes watching them talking to each other.

These people have a long aura. Even if they stand there, they still have a sense of being arrogant without anger. They are obviously people who are accustomed to giving orders.

The robes they wore were embroidered with a pair of beast patterns, including unicorns, tigers, eagles, cows and leopards, which showed that they were high-ranking generals.

This kind of strange robe is also called an inscription robe, because it is also embroidered with sixteen-character inscriptions around the patterns of beasts: virtue and politics are only bright, duty is peaceful, cautious, loyal and diligent, and honor is personally dedicated.

"For 120 years since this dynasty was established, at least one of the Zhao children will have in the middle stage of the King's Realm, and there will never be any interruption. This is their greatest confidence as the first nobles of the generals and the position of the Grand Governor's Office."

Sun Meng, wearing a kilin robe, the head of the Sun family, looked at the figures of Zhao Ning and others, with a expressionless face.

He continued: "But in these two generations, the Zhao family's situation seems to be worse than yesterday. Zhao Beiwang is almost vague, and is still in the late stage of the Yuanshen Realm. Even if he may still enter the King's Realm in this life, he will inevitably stop at the early stage of the King's Realm.

"This Zhao Ning was praised by Zhao Xuanji as a once-in-a-century genius in the Zhao family. However, after he was sixteen years old, he did not immediately achieve the Qi Realm, but delayed for two or three months. It was not until not long ago that he reached the early stage of Qi Realm in Daizhou due to an accident."

Speaking of this, a sarcasm flashed through Sun Meng's eyes.

The Sun family guarded Shanhaiguan, an important town in the northeast of Daqi for generations, and together with Yanmen Pass, it was the barrier of the northern border of Yanping. The Sun family was powerful and could rank among the top three in the sequence of nobles of the generals.

As a general who was guarding the northern border, the Sun family did not get the special encounter like the Zhao family. The family was alone in Shanhaiguan, and there were also people from the Shi family.

"I heard that Zhao, the young heir of the family head, relies on his extraordinary talent, has always been arrogant and has always liked to look for flowers and willows, and has not done his job properly all day long. In the past two years, he has been in love with an adopted daughter adopted by Zhao, and has even delayed his own practice. I really don't know what kind of thing is this kind of person even if he is more talented?"

The person who spoke was the head of the Wu family in Jinling and Wu Su.

Compared to Sun Meng's joy and anger, the disdain and hostility on his face were obvious, "What's ridiculous is that the adopted daughter of Zhao even betrayed him! It can be seen how ugly Zhao Ning's face is. If it were not for the lack of trust and closeness, how could such a thing happen?

"And now he has just reached the early stage of the Qi-Region Realm, and his cultivation level has been significantly lagging behind."

Sun Meng smiled faintly and said, "This time Qiu Hunting is a game field for the aristocratic families. It is related to the future of officialdom, and no one dares to slack off. Although Zhao Ning must be in the group of sixteen years old and has no masters, his cultivation level in the early stage of the Qi Realm is indeed not enough."

Wu Su's eyes flashed and he thought of a possibility: "Maybe Zhao Ning won't play this year?"

After saying this, he shook his head.

Although many aristocratic families, in order to devote themselves to their practice, fortunately, they try to improve their realm as much as possible in the golden four years, and do not distract themselves by official life, and choose to become an official later, as the heir to the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Ning, whether he or she is in office or not, and not appearing on the stage at the age of 16, means admitting that he is not strong enough.

In a family, other children may not be strong enough, but as the heir of the family head who represents the talent and future pillars of the family, they cannot. Otherwise, they will believe that their family has declined.

"Among the younger generation of Zhao, Zhao Qiyue performed the best. She reached the middle stage of the Yuanshen Realm at the age of nineteen. She is recognized as a stunning and stunning person. Unfortunately, she is the eldest daughter of Zhao Beiwang and is destined to enter the palace."

Speaking of this, Sun Meng's cunning could not help but laugh, his eyes were full of jokes and pleasure, and he said bluntly: "The Zhao family has been strong for more than a hundred years, and now it has finally revealed its decline."

The subtext of his words was obvious to everyone.

Due to various reasons, the Sun family and the Zhao family have been incompatible for generations, and there are many conflicts between the two sides. Not to mention anything else, the Sun family has been coveting for a long time just as the position of Grand Commander General Office.

Although a family that has controlled the position of Grand Commander for more than a hundred years has attracted jealousy, in the past, the strength of the Zhao family head has always been the first general. In addition, the emperor's trust and reliance on it, how did the Sun family and other families advise the emperor? Due to their own strength, they have never had the opportunity to get involved in the Grand Commander.

It's different now.

Although Sun Meng is currently in the early stage of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the Kings is probably earlier than Sun Meng. He is a real talented genius!

In addition, there are many geniuses in the younger generation of the Sun family. Among Sun Meng's grandson, there are more than one talented person than Zhao Qiyue.

The decline of Zhao's family has been revealed, while the prosperity of Sun's family is like the rising sun, unstoppable.

It doesn't take too long for the Sun family to take over Zhao and become the number one noble of the generals of the Great Qi family. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be their best chance after Zhao Xuanji passed away.

Under such circumstances, the internal dispute between the generals, represented by the two opposing hills of Zhao and Sun, will inevitably gradually emerge and will soon become more and more intense.

Many generals and nobles now have to consider the issue of taking sides.

"We can all see the decline of the Zhao family. Zhao Xuanji will naturally have a distinction, and he will definitely not sit back and wait for death. Some time ago, Princess Beihu secretly went to Daizhou to play, which just gave Zhao family a chance and an excuse."

Wu Su from Jinling looked down. When talking about this, he gritted his teeth with hatred, "Zhao Xuanji seized a guard of Princess Beihu, and insisted on saying that Beihu had the intention to covet the Great Qi, and he also used this to ask His Majesty to increase troops at Yanmen Pass. It was really ridiculous!

"But Zhao Xuanji succeeded. Not only did he add 30,000 troops to Yanmen Pass, the talisman soldiers distributed by the court had increased by 20% more. With these, Zhao's strength has increased by a big step!

"But why can he succeed?

"My Jinling Wu family is also a founding father and hereditary marquis. Zhao Xuanji used it as a bargaining chip in exchange for his own interests! The Wu family's Guannei Marquis has been passed down for more than a hundred years, but now he has become an earl!"

Speaking of this, Wu Su's breathing became rapid and it took a lot of effort to calm down.

Then he looked at a steady old man beside him who had not spoken, "Hour Yang, my position as a marquis of Wu was used by Zhao Xuanji to exchange his own interests with the civil service group. After all, Wu and Zhao have no close friends, but you are different from Yang in Guangling. You and Zhao have been in-laws for many generations!

"Did Zhao Xuanji take care of you for the sake of Zhao's personal gain?"
