Chapter 126 Acting is getting more and more mature
Qin Zhan was surprised to hear that Zhao Ritian had been kidnapped.
"Now that Prince Wu's palace is heavily guarded, how could someone break in?"
"After you left, General Zhan and the others came to discuss with me the new emperor's enthronement, and accidentally let this kid slip out..." Qin Yue also felt helpless.
The reason why Qin Zhan saved Zhao Ritian in the first place was because he was still valuable.
Who would have thought that this kid was so reckless that he would dare to leave Prince Wu's Mansion at this sensitive moment.
Isn’t this suicidal?
"Forget it, since he wants to die himself, he can't blame us." Qin Zhan thought about it and didn't care too much.
"He was not the only one who was kidnapped, but also your maid Cuizhu." Qin Yue said.
"What?" Qin Zhan's face darkened upon hearing this.
"How come Cuizhu is with this kid?"
"I don't know!"
Qin Yue also didn't know why Qin Zhan's maid left the palace with Zhao Ritian.
Qin Zhan originally didn't want to care about this matter. Since Zhao Ritian wanted to die on his own, he would let him fend for himself.
But now his maid was also kidnapped, which made Qin Zhan very angry.
Losing one Zhao Ritian will not affect the overall situation.
But Cuizhu still has to be rescued.
"Who kidnapped them?"
"It's Zhou Lie." Qin Yue said.
"Zhou Lie?" Qin Zhan asked, "How do you know?"
Qin Yue took out a letter: "This is what he wrote to you. You will know after reading it!"
Qin Zhan took the letter and looked at it carefully.
Sure enough, it was written by Zhou Lie to Qin Zhan.
The general meaning is that Qin Zhan is asked to redeem people with gold coins, and only he is allowed to go alone.
"Damn Zhou Lie, you dare to arrest people from Prince Wu's Mansion. I think he is tired of living." Qin De angrily reprimanded.
He didn't care about Zhao Ritian's life or death, but Cuizhu was from Prince Wu's Mansion after all, and she was Qin Zhan's maid.
"Grandpa, there is no need to be angry. I guess the reason why Zhou Lie captured the two of them was to use them as blackmail in exchange for a chance for the Zhou family to survive." Qin Zhan analyzed.
After the rebellion of King Chenliu was suppressed, more than a dozen families including the Zhou family were all liquidated.
Because the Zhou family was the strongest, a small number of people hid temporarily.
But Zhou Lie also knew that this situation was not a long-term solution.
As long as they are still in the Blue Moon Empire and as long as Prince Wu's Mansion is in power, the Zhou family will never have a good life.
"Huh, wishful thinking." Qin De said coldly.
The entire empire is under the control of Prince Wu's Mansion, and even the civil and military ministers dare not disobey him. What a small Zhou family is, but they dare to go against Prince Wu's Mansion.
"Father, there is no need to be angry. The Zhou family is now a grasshopper after the fall. Zhou Lie alone cannot make a big splash." Qin Yue said.
"How about I personally take people to meet Zhou Lie." Qin Fen said.
He had just been promoted to the second level of Pohuan Realm and was looking for an actual opponent.
Qin De hesitated for a moment and said hurriedly in person: "The person Zhou Lie wants to see is me, so I should go. Uncle Liu has a military plane with him and cannot leave without permission."
Qin Fen glared at Qin Zhan, this guy must have done it on purpose.
Just when he was feeling extremely itchy, this guy actually refused to let him participate.
"Lao Liu has military affairs, so it's not advisable to leave for too long, but I'm not too worried about Little Houtou going alone."
"I would like to go to the appointment with the young master." Xie Yi suddenly stood up.
Everyone glanced at Xie Yi. This man was at the pinnacle of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and was also known as the number one person in the Mountain and Sea Realm. His strength was undoubted.
"Okay, now that you are following the little monkey, I feel more at ease." Qin De said.
"Pay attention to safety and don't show off." Qin Yue patted Qin Zhan on the shoulder.
"Remember, your safety is the most important thing."
"Thank you Uncle Fourth and Uncle Six for your concern. My nephew will be careful." Qin Zhan bowed deeply.
That night, Qin Zhan and Xie Yi went to the appointment at the location given by Zhou Lie.
At the same time, Qin Zhan also brought three million gold coins, which was the ransom requested by Zhou Lie.
The place agreed upon by Zhou Lie was not within the city, but three hundred miles north of the imperial capital, in a place called Luoxia Valley.
The stars are sinking and the moon is dying, and the divine flowers are dotted.
Qin Zhan and Xie Yi rode their horses and galloped all night, and finally arrived at Luoxia Valley within the time specified by Zhou Lie.
In the dark night, the stars twinkle.
"Young Master, where are they?" Xie Yi asked.
Qin Zhan was riding on horseback. He looked around: "Zhou Lie, I have arrived as promised. How long will it take if I don't show up now?"
As soon as Qin Zhan said these words, the birds and beasts in the forest were immediately frightened.
"Hahaha... As expected of the young master of Prince Wu, he is indeed brave." Suddenly, a flash of sword light flashed, and strong killing intent locked onto Qin Zhan, approaching directly.
"Young Master, be careful..." Xie Yi's face turned cold, he drew his sword and started fighting head on.
The two sides only exchanged blows once, and Xie Yi was knocked back by the opponent, but he did not suffer any damage.
"Xie Yi, the commander-in-chief of the Tenglong Army, really has some strength." Zhou Lie's figure gradually emerged from the darkness.
Qin Zhan used the moonlight to vaguely see Zhou Lie's blurry outline.
It is indeed him!
Just as Xie Yi was about to continue taking action, Qin Zhan stopped him: "Don't rush to take action yet!"
Zhou Lie sneered: "Xie Yi, you are in the mountain and sea realm after all, and you still dare to be so arrogant in front of me. Believe it or not, I will destroy you."
"Xie's life and death are not a concern. Anyone who dares to be an enemy of the Young Master is an enemy of me." Xie Yi said coldly.
"He is indeed a good and loyal dog." Zhou Lie mocked.
Xie Yi's face turned cold. Zhou Lie's insult to his personality had offended him.
Qin Zhan said coldly: "Zhou Lie, stop talking nonsense, I have brought the gold coins, where are my people?"
Zhou Lie smiled and said: "Don't worry, before we reach a deal, I have a question to ask you."
"What's the question?" Qin Zhan looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he vaguely guessed what question Zhou Lie was going to ask.
"I want to ask you why you invented this person Zhao Ridi to lie to me, causing me to almost die at the hands of the Blue Moon Sect." Zhou Lie asked through gritted teeth.
Sure enough, this guy still doubted himself.
Moreover, he captured Zhao Ritian. With Zhao Ritian's character, he didn't even need to torture him. He must have told everything.
Qin Zhan's mind was spinning rapidly, and he was confused on the surface: "What Zhao Ridi? Why can't I understand what you said?"
"You are still pretending, Zhao Ritian has already recruited them all, you should tell me honestly, otherwise..."
"What do you want me to tell you?" Qin Zhan asked.
"Qin Zhan, do you really not know what I am talking about?"
"Nonsense, I want to ask you, who is Zhao Ridi you just mentioned? Do I know him?" Qin Zhan showed an expression of complete ignorance, which made Zhou Lie stunned for a moment.
"You really don't know?"
"I don't like saying the same thing three times."
Seeing Qin Zhan's suspicious expression, Zhou Lie was stunned.
Could it be that I made a mistake again?
I was deceived by that boy Zhao Ritian.
Qin Zhan said coldly: "Zhou Lie, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here. Let my maid go immediately. Otherwise, even if you escape to the ends of the world, I will hunt you down."
"You are arrogant, you are only in the realm of mountains and seas, yet you dare to yell at me."
"Then you might as well try..."
Looking at the menacing Qin Zhan, Zhou Lie was confused.
Where does this kid get the confidence to talk to him like this?
Is it just based on their two mountain and sea realm cultivations?
