Zhou Lie's name for Qin Zhan, from "little friend" at first to "Mr. Zhao" at the beginning, this subtle change is enough to show that he has no doubt about Qin Zhan's identity.
Seeing that the time was right, Qin Zhan sighed: "Your name is Zhou Lie, right?"
"Yes, my name is Zhou Lie. The head of the Zhou family is my eldest brother, and Zhou Liao is my eldest brother's eldest son." Zhou Lie said with a smile.
"That's right..."
Qin Zhan pretended to be thoughtful: "Is your Zhou family in the western border of the empire?"
"Yes, our Zhou family is at the western border of the empire."
"I remember that the land in the west is the fiefdom of King Chenliu, right?"
"Young Master Zhao is right, the Western Frontier is the fiefdom of King Chenliu." Zhou Lie said excitedly: "To be honest, our Zhou family has a very good relationship with King Chenliu."
"If that's the case, I need your help with something, what do you think?"
"That's a good relationship. It's my honor to serve Mr. Zhao."
Zhou Lie smiled and said: "I dare not say anything else. In the Western Frontier, our Zhou family still has some prestige."
"It's not a big deal. Senior Sister Nangong has recently reached a breakthrough point and needs some primitive medicinal materials, which are only available in your western border."
"This is not easy. Mr. Zhao just told me which ones you need, and I promise to get them for you." Zhou Lie said, patting his chest.
Qin Zhan pondered for a moment.
In fact, he had thought of a way to help his grandfather improve his cultivation a few days ago.
Now that Zhou Lie was fooled, he just improvised.
"Seven-leaf Pearl Flower, Huilingxiang, Golden Tiger Beard Grass..." Qin Zhan mentioned several relatively precious medicinal materials. These are the original medicinal materials that are indispensable for refining the Nine Turns Golden Pill.
Zhou Lie was also surprised when he heard these medicinal materials: "Master Zhao, these medicinal materials are extraordinary. Don't you have any in the Blue Moon Sect?"
Qin Zhan sighed: "Yes, yes, but you also know that although Lan Yue Sect is a large sect, the competition is also very fierce. It is usually reserved for the top few disciples. When it's Senior Sister Nangong's turn, I don't know what to ask for.
What year and month is it!”
What he said was half true and half false, but to Zhou Lie, it couldn't be more true.
The reason why a large sect is strong is because of the fierce competition within the sect, which can ensure the long-term prosperity of the sect.
So Zhou Lie very much agreed with Qin Zhan's words.
"What Mr. Zhao said is that although I have never entered a large sect, I have heard that they are fiercely competitive. This is true..."
Zhou Lie pondered for a moment and said, "These medicinal materials are wrapped around me."
"In that case, thank you very much. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly in terms of price." Qin Zhan said.
"Easy to say, easy to say..." Zhou Lie happily accepted this task.
In his opinion, if he accomplished this for Zhao Ridi, even if he got a chance to join his big tree, he might even be able to enter the Blue Moon Sect to practice.
That is the holy land of cultivation that warriors all over the world dream of.
Zhou Lie was even more excited when he thought of this.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Qin Zhan asked seemingly casually: "By the way, I suddenly remembered that my old man said in the letter that the imperial family is now in decay and a change of dynasty is imminent. I would like to ask Brother Zhou, what will happen if it really comes to that?
One day, who do you think is qualified to inherit the throne?"
Facing Qin Zhan's sudden question, Zhou Lie was also surprised.
But soon, he had a flash of inspiration and said immediately: "Mr. Zhao, this is a major matter for the empire and must not be discussed arbitrarily."
Qin Zhan said nonchalantly: "What important matters in the empire? In the eyes of my Blue Moon Sect, who becomes the emperor is just a matter of words. What are you afraid of?"
Seeing Qin Zhan's expression of not taking the royal family seriously, Zhou Lie couldn't help but admire him.
This is the confidence and vision from a large sect.
It seems that my luck has turned out to be good, and I am in the right position.
"Mr. Zhao, let me be disrespectful. Today's royal family is indeed rotten. It's time to establish a new emperor!" Zhou Lie said in a low voice.
"Oh, then who do you think is the most suitable?" Qin Zhan asked calmly.
"It is fate that I can meet Mr. Zhao. Since Mr. Zhao has asked this question, I have to tell the truth..."
Zhou Lie pondered for a moment and continued: "King Chenliu of the Western Region has great ambitions and cares about the people. I think it is appropriate to elect King Chenliu to the throne to appease the people of the world."
"King Chenliu?" Qin Zhan frowned: "Brother Zhou, you just said that your Zhou family has a very good relationship with King Chenliu. You didn't recommend him for this reason, right?"
When Zhou Lie heard this, he hurriedly explained: "No, absolutely not. I am telling the truth. King Chenliu does have the talents of an emperor. Please show Mr. Zhao a lesson."
Qin Zhan knew very well what Zhou Lie was thinking.
However, the role he plays now is that of a core disciple of the Blue Moon Sect, so he must react accordingly.
Once you show your weakness, all your previous efforts will be in vain!
Qin Zhan pretended to be deep in thought, while Zhou Lie carefully observed Qin Zhan's expression from the side.
The other party did not immediately adopt his suggestion, but was deep in thought, obviously not fully trusting him.
"It seems that these Blue Moon Sect disciples rarely set foot in the secular world, and they are really not proficient in the world of people and things." Zhou Lie secretly rejoiced in his heart.
"Let's do this. I will immediately report the situation you mentioned to the sect and let the elders make a decision. We will wait until the sect makes a decision." Qin Zhan gave the other party a very vague answer.
But Zhou Lie didn't feel dissatisfied at all.
I just feel that Qin Zhan is extremely cautious, which is also in line with the consistent style of the disciples of the sect.
"What Mr. Zhao said is that I have been in the imperial capital these days. If you need anything, just give me my instructions." Zhou Lie said with a smile.
Qin Zhan said: "There is one more thing I need to trouble Brother Zhou."
Qin Zhan also became polite in addressing him, which instantly satisfied Zhou Lie's vanity.
Listen, even the disciples of the Blue Moon Sect call him Brother Zhou.
This is face!
"Master Zhao, please give me your instructions."
"It's not a big deal. You also know that Prince Wu's Mansion and our Prime Minister's Mansion have always been political enemies. I want you to monitor Prince Wu's Mansion, but you can't alert them."
"Surveillance on Prince Wu's Mansion?"
Zhou Lie was stunned: "There is nothing wrong with this. To be honest, I came out of Prince Wu's Mansion before I left."
"Why, you are very familiar with Prince Wu's Mansion?" Qin Zhan asked pretending to be surprised.
Zhou Lie had no reservations and told Qin Zhan about the grievances and grudges between the Zhou family and Prince Wu's Mansion.
After Qin Zhan heard this, he finally understood the relationship between Prince Wu's Palace and the Zhou family.
The cause of this incident was what happened between the fourth uncle and the strange woman from the Zhou family.
It can be summed up in one sentence: Destined but not destined!
"It turns out that Prince Wu's Mansion and the Zhou family are still entangled like this." Qin Zhan said thoughtfully.
"I can only say that that boy Qin Yue is unlucky. It is impossible for our Zhou family to marry a disabled person." Zhou Lie said.
"What is the name of the woman who is in love with the fourth son of the Qin family?"
"Her name is Zhou Qiaoning. She is just a collateral disciple of our Zhou family, but she is extremely talented. What a pity..." Zhou Lie sighed.
"What a pity?" Qin Zhan's face darkened: "Is she dead?"
"We don't know either. She has run away from home for more than ten years. We don't know whether she is alive or dead."
"Run away from home?"
Qin Zhan frowned, did his fourth uncle know about this?
"Mr. Zhao, you seem to be very curious about this matter?" Zhou Lie said in surprise.
"It's not that I'm curious, but I've heard that the fourth young master of the Qin family was also a rare hero when he was young. I didn't expect that such an old story would exist."
"It is indeed some old things, but Mr. Zhao, please rest assured that our Zhou family has nothing to do with Prince Wu's Mansion. You can rest assured about this."
