Chapter 1687 Zhao Li, Patriarch of the Zhao Family
The Zhao family mansion is tall and majestic, with a large area. It stands in the center of Zhaowu City, like a city in the city.
At this moment, in the main hall of Zhao's mansion.
Zhao Li, the head of the Zhao family, sat upright in the main seat, with a gloomy face.
The senior officials of the Zhao family at the lower head were all silent and dared not speak out.
This is the tenth family meeting this month, and the content of the negotiation is still about the Dragon in the East China Sea.
Three months have passed since the Zhao family pier is closed. The Zhao family has sent many masters to the East China Sea to search for traces of dragons, but they all have no results.
The dragon was very cunning. When there were many people, it hid in the deep sea. When there were few people, it went to sea to attack, which also caused a lot of casualties to their Zhao family.
In addition, the Zhao family wharf was closed for three months, and the losses were even worse.
After all, the Zhao family wharf is the most profitable industry at the Zhao family. It was closed for three months for no reason, and the losses were naturally huge, which also affected the entire Zhao family's finances.
The Zhao family had also thought of using the ships that set sail to lure the dragon, but the dragon was very cautious and had to observe for a long time before taking action.
Their disguised ships were always seen by the dragon, and then avoided attacking them.
"Zhao Lin, didn't you lead more than 30 masters to sneak into the East China Sea yesterday?
Have you found anything?"
Zhao Li was a middle-aged man with a slightly old-fashioned face, especially his bags in his eyes, which added a bit of majesty to him. At this moment, his eyes fell on a burly man at the bottom.
The burly man named Zhao Lin said with a look of disgrace on his face: "Master of the family! The dragon is so cunning. We did find it in a coral reef, but..." "But what?"
Zhao Li asked in a deep voice.
"But the dragon was too fast in the water, and we couldn't catch up with it at all. Instead, it attacked three people to death and injured seven or eight people!"
Zhao Lin said bitterly.
Bang! Zhao Li was so angry that he slapped the handrail, his face filled with anger, and he growled: "It's too much to deceive people! It's really too much to deceive people. Just a beast dares to play with our Zhao family like this!"
"Honor! This East China Sea dragon has lived in the East China Sea for many years. She has always been in peace with us before, but recently she has been making trouble near our wharf and is clearly targeting us. Don't you think it's strange?"
In the main hall, an old man with gray hair stood up and bowed to Zhao Li.
"Yes! There is no wind and waves. The East China Sea Jiaolong clan has always been with us. Why have they repeatedly attacked us recently?"
"Yes, this is so strange. It seems that our Zhao family has not done anything to offend the East China Sea Jiaolong clan, right?
But it seems that one of the dragons targeted us is. I wonder what the dragon was going crazy!”
"..." In the hall, everyone was talking, and they were puzzled by the dragon targeting their Zhao family, and even felt a little confused.
Zhao Li narrowed his eyes, but he fell silent in a rare manner.
"Okay! This matter is indeed a bit inexplicable. Maybe the dragon suddenly went crazy! You still need to rely on your efforts to take down the dragon as soon as possible!"
Zhao Li waved his hands to everyone in the hall and continued, "Let's end today's meeting, let's break up!"
Hearing this, everyone in the hall bowed to Zhao Li and left.
Soon, Zhao Li was left in the huge hall, sitting upright in the main seat, with a hint of haze on his face.
"Honor! Do you plan to keep hiding the Dragon Ball matter with all the time?"
In the inner room deep in the hall, an old man with white hair and hair slowly walked out, and his somewhat turbid eyes fell on Zhao Li and sighed.
Zhao Li tightened his fists and said, "This matter must not be said. Once it is said, everyone in the clan will force me to hand over the dragon ball! If you lose the dragon ball, Su'er will lose her life!"
The old man in black robe sighed: "But paper cannot contain the fire after all. Master, you must find a way to treat the lady as soon as possible. If this continues, the loss of the dock will be too great, and people in the clan will be in panic at that time!"
The old man in black robe was a friend of Wangnian who Zhao Li met in his early years. Later, after he inherited the position of head of the Zhao family, he recruited this friend of Wangnian into the Zhao family.
The old man in black robe was named Gu Ling, who was an alchemy emperor, and his realm reached an intermediate imperial master. He had a very high status in their Zhao family and was even more of Zhao Li's confidant.
A struggle flashed deep in Zhao Li's eyes and said helplessly: "Don't worry, I will find a solution as soon as possible! By the way, how is Su'er's current situation?"
The old man in black robe thought for a while and said, "Miss Su'er's situation is much more stable now and she can walk down the ground. I have to say that this dragon ball is really magical!"
Hearing this, Zhao Li raised a curve in the corner of his mouth, rubbed his slightly tired eyes, and said, "That's good! That's good! I promised her mother that in my lifetime, I must make her safe and happy, and then I will never break my promise!"
Gu Ling looked at Zhao Li silently, feeling inexplicably. Although Zhao Li was of high status and powerful and became the head of the Zhao family, he actually lived a very tired and painful life over the years.
His favorite wife passed away after giving birth to her daughter Zhao Su'er.
Zhao Suer, because she was born prematurely, had congenital numerology and had many diseases since childhood.
As the imperial teacher, Gu Leng even said that Zhao Suer could not live to be ten years old.
This year is the year when Zhao Suer was ten years old. As Gu Leng said, Zhao Suer's death energy surged out and her vitality continued to pass away.
Zhao Li spent countless resources and money to sustain Zhao Suer's life, but he could not stop Zhao Suer's passing vitality at all.
Later, Zhao Li heard that the Dragon Ball of the East China Sea Dragon has strong vitality. If he had the Dragon Ball, Zhao Su'er could prolong his life.
So, Zhao Li secretly broke into the depths of the East China Sea and secretly stole the dragon ball hidden deep in the dragon cave.
However, this also angered the dragon in the cave. It believed that the Zhao family was targeting it, so it caused troubles near the Zhao family dock and began to make trouble, which eventually led to the current situation.
Cough cough! Suddenly, Zhao Li coughed violently, and even coughed up a lot of blood, and his face turned pale.
"Honor! Are you okay? Has the old injury recurred?"
Gu Ling's face changed slightly, and he quickly took out a blue pill and handed it to Zhao Li.
Zhao Li took the pill and swallowed it directly. His face looked better and said, "I'm fine! It's just a minor injury. I'll take care of myself and I'll do it!"
Gu Ling shook his head and sighed. He had checked Zhao Li's injuries and knew how serious the latter's injuries were.
At the beginning, after Zhao Li took the Dragon Ball, he was chased by several dragons, almost deadly. He escaped from the deep sea and returned to the Zhao family.
