The harvest of this storm tonight is obvious.

First of all, he temporarily avoided the bad luck in his previous life; from now on, Zhao Yujie will no longer be able to step into the Zhao family, and will be hostile and even hunted down by all Zhao family members.

Her personal hindrance to the Zhao family is limited to the wealth and resources she has gained in the past two or three years, which is just a drop in the bucket for such a giant as the Zhao family.

Secondly, although I failed to kill Zhao Yujie tonight, it was a good thing for me that she was rescued.

Today's interception is just a small step in a big chess game. To the people behind the scenes, Zhao Yujie is just a chess piece.

If this chess piece is gone, it has completely lost its value; if this chess piece is still moving on the chessboard, it is possible for me to find out the chess player through her whereabouts and according to the map!

In this sense, it would be much more useful for Zhao Yujie to be rescued than to be killed by him tonight.

Although Zhao Yujie is a rare heroic figure in the world, with extraordinary talent for cultivation, she is unparalleled in the world, with extraordinary wisdom and deep scheming unparalleled... But she has been reborn and has lived in two lives, so there is no need to be afraid of her.

Compared with what she wants to achieve in this life, Zhao Yujie's weight is meager.

After thinking clearly about this, Zhao Ning gathered his thoughts. After a moment of rest, his strength recovered. He had just slashed out with four swords, and he was indeed exhausted. Although the situation was better than during the day, he still could not use Qianjun.

The fifth knife.

Naturally, others cannot see this situation, especially when his momentum is as normal - unless his level is much higher than his.

"Sir, I can tell you everything. I know everything I know and can tell you everything!"

Seeing Zhao Ning looking over, Zhao Zhongping put down his sword dejectedly, bent down and knelt on the ground, sobbing: "Master, the reason why I sacrificed my life for Zhao Yujie is because the illegitimate son I raised outside was discovered and controlled by her. Then

He is my only son, so I have no choice..."

Having an illegitimate child outside the family is not tolerated by the Zhao clan rules.

"No need to say more at this time." Zhao Ning had no intention of listening to Zhao Zhongping's complaints.

He ordered the practitioners of the Zhao family to take Zhao Zhongping and the practitioner of the Broken Arm Qi Control Realm, the eldest of the three Lu brothers, to the east and west wings respectively, "to interrogate the leader of the day raiders and these two people."

, start at the same time. When the results come out, if there are any contradictions in the confessions, you will understand the rules."

The practitioners took orders one after another.

Boss Lu raised his head and stared at Zhao Ning with gritted teeth: "Don't even think about asking me to betray my partner! If I don't tell you, what can you do to me? At worst, I'll give you my life!"

"Aren't you afraid of death? You are quite stubborn."

Zhao Ning showed a careless smile, "But you should know that I, the Zhao family, am a noble general who fights with iron blood, not a scholarly family with a ceremonial heirloom.

"We have seen many tough prisoners on the battlefield, and there are many torture methods. If you are tough enough, congratulations, you are lucky enough to see what it means to be a general.

"There are always some people in this world who say that there is nothing important besides life and death. They are not afraid of anything unless they are afraid of death. Believe me, within two hours, you will envy their simplicity and ignorance."

As soon as these words came out, Boss Lu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Looking at the Zhao practitioners again, he saw that they all had malicious smiles on their faces, as if they were evil ghosts, and he couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.

The Zhao family's ability to become the most noble family in the Qi Dynasty did not just rely on internal unity.

Waving his hands and letting the practitioners do their work, Zhao Ning called two maids and asked them to prepare another table of wine and food. He had been so busy today, but he hadn't eaten anything. He had just had another fierce battle and was already hungry.

.

When the food and drinks were served, except for the west wing where Zhao Zhongping was, which was quieter, there was a commotion in the other rooms, with screams like slaughtering pigs one after another, which was unbearable to hear.

Of course Zhao Ning wouldn't care about this. He could just eat a bite of food and drink a glass of wine and be at ease.

In his previous life, he had seen a battlefield of blood and fire with hundreds of thousands of corpses, fought and fought in the capital city that had turned into a purgatory, and had seen hundreds of tribesmen die in battle within ten years, until no one remained...

In some ways, he was already stone-hearted.

"Sir, don't come from Daizhou."

"please come in."

Zhao Ning knew that the prefectural government would send someone, and he also knew that the top three officials would definitely come. Otherwise, it would not be enough to show the respect and attention that the governor of the modern state had for the Zhao family, especially in today's situation.

"Master Zhao."

"Don't drive, Fan."

The two of them simply greeted each other in the courtyard, one clasping their fists and the other cupping their hands. Neither of them lowered their status or promoted the other. Under Zhao Ning's greeting, the two sat down in front of the stone table.

Fan Biejia is a middle-aged civil servant with good facial features and a strong bookish air. Even if he is sitting there in an ordinary manner, people will feel the aura of awe in him, as if he has been asking for orders and running for the people all day long.

"Today Mr. Zhao was intercepted and killed on the road in Daizhou, and at night he was broken into the house by gangsters. This is the negligence of the Daizhou government office. Mr. Zhao can rest assured that the governor has ordered the whole city to be cordoned off to arrest the lawbreakers. I believe it will not take long.

, you can give Zhao an explanation." Fan Biejia said solemnly.

Zhao Ning nodded, even if he didn't agree in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face.

"Master Zhao encountered these dangers today, and the members of the clan suffered a lot of casualties. Do you want to send someone on behalf of the state government to go to Yanmen Pass to inform General Zhao?" Fan Biejia then asked.

Zhao Ning drank a glass of wine by himself, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and said without raising his head: "If I don't agree with the prefectural government's Yamen sending people to Yanmen Pass, and Yanmen Pass learns about today's events, Fan Biejia can tell me,

What could be the reason?”

"What does Mr. Zhao mean by this?" Fan Biejia frowned slightly.

He was very dissatisfied with Zhao Ning, a young man, who was still eating and drinking on his own in front of him. Although the other party also invited him to have a drink, he refused after all.

At present, Zhao Ning has not yet become an official and has no official position. Being so careless in front of him seems to be very disrespectful to him.

Although the civil and military affairs of Da Qi were divided, and there were many fights between civil servants and military generals. The relationship between the two sides has been deteriorating over the years, and both sides dislike each other. However, it was still too humiliating for me to be treated with such contempt by a young general.

some.

Zhao Ning did not answer Fan Biejia's question, "Is Fan Biejia from Heyang Shifan?"

"So what?"

"When Taizu founded the country, there were eighteen generals with the most outstanding military achievements under his command, who were called the Eighteen Generals of Kaiyuan. The families of these eighteen generals later became the Eighteen Generals of the Qi Dynasty, and the paradigm was

is one of them."

"Why did Mr. Zhao mention these things?"

"Fanshishi was originally a noble general. Although he is not ranked high, he still has his own status. But for some reason, Shishi is now out of the ranks of generals and all the children in the clan will take the imperial examination and become civil servants?"

"This is a family matter, what does Mr. Zhao have to do with it?"

Zhao Ning picked up a piece of venison, chewed it carefully and swallowed it slowly, then picked up the wine glass that the maid filled with wine, and took a leisurely sip.

After putting down the wine glass, he looked at Fan Biejia.

In an instant, his eyes were as bright as lightning and his tone was serious: "What I mean is, if the Daizhou government office cannot catch the Jianghu cultivator who intercepted and killed me today, and causes trouble in my house again, and robs the Jianghu cultivator who is a traitor of my Zhao family, then Your Majesty and I will

Zhao's thunderous wrath, whether it is your Daizhou government office with an area of ​​only 400 miles, or a mere paradigm that cannot be mixed up in the rank of generals and nobles, and is not taken seriously in the civil service group, no matter what, it will not matter.

Can’t afford it!”

As soon as he finished speaking, in the east wing, which had been quiet for a moment, Boss Lu's tragic and loud wail suddenly came, like the cry of a ghost in the night, which was breathtaking.

Fan Biejia's pupils shrank.

For a moment, his face changed several times, with fear, jealousy, and worry intertwined and flashing in his eyes.

The Zhao family of Jinyang is not an ordinary noble general.

At the end of the previous dynasty, the world was in chaos, and all the heroes came together to compete in the Central Plains. Among the thirty-six princes, Emperor Taizu had only a small number of soldiers and generals, and was only a second-rate force. However, the Zhao family took a fancy to Taizu, and the whole family came to help Taizu.

Not only did he conquer all directions, but he also married the eldest daughter of the clan to Taizu.

The Zhao family is a thousand-year-old clan with a rich heritage and an extraordinary reputation and many practitioners. After joining Taizu's army, it greatly strengthened Taizu's power. The descendants of the clan led the army in battles and produced many victorious generals.

In the end, Taizu conquered the world.

Taizu did not let down the Zhao family. When he ascended the throne, he established the ancestral system of passing down the country. In the future, among the four first-grade concubines of the Da Qi emperor, there must be one direct daughter of the Zhao family. Moreover, the title of the Zhao family is passed down, and the Duke of the country will be governed from generation to generation.

, rest with the country!

Such honor is unparalleled in the world and no one can match it.

Since then, the Zhao family has become the most distinguished general in the Da Qi Dynasty. In the center of the court, she is in charge of the highest government office in the military - the Governor's Mansion. Locally, she sits at Yanmen Pass in the north, guarding the most important national gate in the north for the dynasty.

.

To this day, half of the eight queens of Da Qi are from the Zhao family. Few people in Da Qi can afford to offend such a high-profile family.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, we will definitely try our best to do what we are supposed to do on behalf of the prefectural government." Fan Biejia, who looked ugly, could no longer stay here and left.

Zhao Ning just stood up politely and did not send him off.

It's not that he deliberately took advantage of it to intimidate Fan Biejia and Daizhou Fuyamen, but that he had a reason to do so.

After sitting down, he called to the men: "Send someone to the government office, take my message, and go with them to Yanmen Pass."

"yes."

In his previous life, after Zhao Ning was attacked and injured, his parents received the news and immediately returned to Daizhou City to visit, but unexpectedly encountered a disaster midway. When the battle was at its fiercest, they did not seek help from the Daizhou government office.

This is not only because the Zhao family relies on their status and believes that they can solve the problem on their own, but also because Da Qi currently has a civil and military conflict, and they are unwilling to contact each other unless it is necessary for official business.

In particular, generals and nobles are deeply hostile to the civil service group.

And Zhao's response was exactly what the planners wanted, which led to the scene where Zhao's masters suffered heavy losses later.

If Zhao Ning wants to prevent the Zhao family from making the same mistakes again and catch the person behind the plan, he must make a different choice than in his previous life: ask the Daizhou government office to help make the matter bigger, and let Daqi's government system and state machinery solve this problem.

thing, rather than relying on Zhao alone.

This was his intention to intimidate Fan Biejia.
