Two fair-skinned men walked towards Zhao Xu. One of them, a slightly taller man, asked Zhao Xu: "Mr. Zhao, are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Zhao Xu saw that the other party spoke politely and replied kindly. "Do you know me?" Zhao Xu asked in return.

The man smiled slightly and said: "The Zhao family has published an announcement to the global media. Even if I want to know you, it is impossible."

Zhao Xu said "Oh!" and then realized that the man in front of him was just a stranger. He thought to himself: He must be some rich young man from Su City?

After the two fair-skinned men left, Nong Quan muttered: "Why do the pretty boys look so weird now, like sissies?"

"Nong Quan, don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Xu lectured Nong Quan.

Nong Quan said "Oh!" with a resentful expression on his face.

Zhao Xu saw Chen Xiaodao beside him. Without blinking, he stared at the backs of the two fair-skinned men who had just left, and asked curiously: "Xiaodao, what are you looking at?"

"Master, these two are women." Chen Xiaodao said suddenly.

"What? Woman."

Zhao Xu looked at the two fair-skinned men who were leaving. After all, he was a step too late. They had already entered the main hall.

Nong Quan grinned and said: "Let me just say that these two pretty boys look like sissies! It turns out they are women disguised as men. By the way, Xiaodao! How did you tell that?"

"Didn't you notice? These two people don't have Adam's apple, and the woman's walking posture with her legs very close together is different from the man's normal walking. You can see it if you look carefully."

After listening to Chen Xiaodao's analysis, Zhao Xu frowned and murmured: "It's really strange, why do girls nowadays like to dress up as men more and more?"

After entering the main hall, Zhao Xu returned to Nian Yao with Chen Xiaodao and Nong Quan.

Nian Yao felt relieved when he saw that Zhao Xu did not cause any trouble.

Zhao Xu saw many people coming to congratulate Ma Wende on his birthday, but most of them were people from the business district. There were very few direct relatives of the Ma family. He only saw a middle-aged man and woman, with a ten-year-old boy wearing twin ponytails.

Girl with braids.

He curiously asked Nian Yao: "Grandpa Nian, does this Ma Wende have no children?"

"Only one, named Ma Jun! He gave birth to a daughter. When she was a teenager, she contracted a serious illness and died."

Zhao Xu said "Oh!", and to his surprise, Ma Jun actually walked towards him at this time.

Ma Jun walked up to Zhao Xu and said to Zhao Xu: "Zhao Xu, my dad has something to call you and asks you to meet him in the back hall."

Zhao Xu saw Ma Wende turn around and walk to the back hall. He had told him before that he would be free for a while and talk to him if he had anything to do.

Nian Yao encouraged Zhao Xu and said, "Go, Master Xu!"

Zhao Xu nodded and followed Ma Jun to the room in the back hall.

There were only three people in the room, Ma Wende, Ma Jun and Zhao Xu.

After Zhao Xu saw Ma Wende, he bowed respectfully and asked: "Grandpa Ma!"

Ma Wende looked at Zhao Xu carefully again.

Sixty-six-year-old Ma Wende does not look senile. Instead, his beard is shaved cleanly, like an old cadre.

"Zhao Xu, I didn't expect us to meet so soon!" Ma Wende squinted his eyes and smiled at Zhao Xu.

The second monk, Zhao Xu, was confused and asked: "Grandpa Ma, did you know I would come?"

Ma Wende smiled and said, "Your father said that sooner or later you will return to your hometown in Sioux City."

"My dad?" Zhao Xu was stunned for a while.

Ma Wende nodded and said, "I have a good relationship with your father, Zhao Xiaotian. He called me and said that you were going to build a village of five ethnic groups and asked me if I would go?"

"Ah! Grandpa Ma, are you from the Ma family, one of the five great aristocratic families?" Zhao Xu asked in shock.

Ma Wende nodded and said with a smile: "Now you finally know why I called you to the back hall alone."

Zhao Xu was stunned when he learned Ma Wende's true identity.

He did not expect that everything about him was under the control of his father, Zhao Xiaotian.

Regarding the construction of the "Five Ethnic Village" and the "Sacrifice Temple", Zhao Xu has not told outsiders. All he knows is the people he trusts. It is not difficult to infer from this that Chen Tianhe must have leaked the secret to his father Zhao Xiaotian

.

Zhao Xu certainly didn't mean to blame Chen Tianhe. Chen Tianhe had worked with his father Zhao Xiaotian for many years, and he had only been working with him for a long time.

Zhao Xu happily said to Ma Wende: "Grandpa Ma, do you want to live in my Five Ethnic Village?"

"Of course! Has your five-ethnic village been built?" Ma Wende asked.

"Not yet. But soon! It will be completed next fall."

Ma Wende took the initiative to join his "Five Ethnic Village", which made Zhao Xu both happy and surprised.

Ma Wende handed Zhao Xu a small card and said: "This is the address of my brother. His name is Ma Wencai and he lives in Hangzhou. If you are free, you can go to his place." At this point, he sighed.

Said: "We two brothers, in order to hide from those factories

The dog has not walked around for almost decades. He has not even walked around in Hangzhou. So, please help me persuade him to go to the Five Nationalities Village! People, as we get older, the longer we live, the lonelier we become.

, but family love is a relationship where blood is thicker than water, and it can never be changed."

"Grandpa Ma, why don't you invite your brother in person?" Zhao Xu asked puzzledly.

"We once had a dispute over who held the guardian ring of the Ma family. Therefore, there has always been a gap in our hearts." Ma Wende explained to Zhao Xu.

As soon as Zhao Xu heard the "guarding ring", he hurriedly asked Ma Wende: "What happened next? Is the Ma family's guarding ring in your hand or in your brother's hand?"

"It's in the hands of my brother! So, my brother has been in Hangzhou for so many years, and no one knows his whereabouts. I heard that you want to collect the guardian rings of the five major families to open Duke Shen's treasure?"

Zhao Xu smiled bitterly and said: "Originally, I did have this plan. However, I have been expelled from the Zhao family, and the Zhao family's guardian ring has also been taken back. The Xiao family's guardian ring has been taken away by Dongchang

The people at the altar took it away. Maybe it’s God’s will! I’m going to give up!”

"Don't give up, I support you in opening Duke Shen's treasure." Ma Wende said with a serious face.

Zhao Xu looked at Ma Wende with a surprised look on his face. He did not expect that Mr. Ma would openly support him.

"Grandpa Ma, there is no news from the Zhang family of the five aristocratic families. The guardian ring of the Xiao family is in the hands of the people at the Dongchang altar. It is impossible to collect the guardian rings of the five aristocratic families, so how can we open Duke Shen's treasure?

"

Ma Wende smiled and said: "You only know one thing, but not the other. Just like the world will unite if it is divided for a long time, and it will divide if it unites for a long time. The guardian rings of the five great families are not ordinary gold and jade rings. Sooner or later they will gather together.

Together."

"So magical?" Zhao Xu was shocked when he heard this.

Ma Wende smiled and nodded, and said: "These five guardian rings were recited by an eminent monk. Therefore, our five aristocratic families have been able to pass them down over the years. However, our five aristocratic families have been living a peaceful life for hundreds of years.

The life of hiding here and there has long been estranged from reality. Therefore, it is not easy.

Gather Jiezi together. You are the first person from our five major families to propose to gather Jiezi together. I believe that there is destiny in the sky, and you will definitely do something. Also, I heard that Xiao

The Tian Group is attacking your company, and our Ma family still has some property. If you need help, just tell me."

Zhao Xu listened to Ma Wende's words and bowed respectfully to Ma Wende again.

"Grandpa Ma, thank you."

"Don't thank me, I should be the one thanking you. When I heard that you were going to build a village and a temple for the five ethnic groups, I was really shocked." After that, he said to his son Ma Jun: "

Xiaojun, if Zhao Xu has difficulties in business in the future, remember to help him with all your strength."

"I know, father!"

Ma Jun took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Xu, asking him to call him if he had anything to do. He patted Zhao Xu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiao Xu, come on!"

"Thank you, Uncle Ma!"

Zhao Xu is so happy today.

Not only did he learn about the five major aristocratic families, the "Ma Family", but he also received a promise to help him at the critical moment.

But when he thought that his father, Zhao Xiaotian, had done all this for him, it was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head, bringing Zhao Xu back to reality.
