Chapter 238 You are dead

These days, the fifth young master of the Tianliang Zhao family has been in a good mood.

First, they burned down a street of the Ning family, and then sank several of the opponent's ships. Even the dock controlled by the Ning family was in a state of chaos and lost its order.

This is all his handiwork.

Fifth Young Master Zhao Lei likes the feeling of turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain.

He has done a lot of things over the years, and he does all the dirty and tiring work that his brothers at home are unwilling to do.

And this kind of dedication paid off. Not only did he gradually gain his own power, but his family also recognized him more and more.

This can be seen from the fact that his father sent him a guard like Uncle Li.

Almost every child of the Zhao family will have such a guardian in the natal realm. This is not only a sign of the strength of the Zhao family as one of the top ten aristocratic families, but also means that the family fully recognizes him.

This was not easy for Zhao Lei, who was born as a concubine, but he was also very happy at the same time.

It can be said that Zhao Lei is the heir who has the most sense of belonging to the Zhao family. If anyone is unfavorable to the Zhao family, he will do the same as before, even if it is dirty work and no one can see anyone, he will do it clearly.

This revenge against the Ning family was all on the minds of the brothers, but in the end it was him who carried it out.

He is also very aware of the benefits of doing so. The Zhao family has a large sphere of influence, and the second brother's influence is one of the best among these brothers.

Because the eldest brother is away from home all the time, it is the second brother who the father relies on the most.

As expected, the Ning family chose to swallow their anger for what they did.

After all, today's Ning family is no longer the Ning family that controlled everything and had close ties with the royal family a hundred years ago. In their eyes, they are just a down-and-out family with no financial resources.

They believed that the Ning family could bear this little pain.

Unknowingly, Zhao Lei believed more and more that most happiness is brought about by the pain of others.

Because seeing the suffering of the Ning family, he couldn't help but feel happy.

So in this pavilion, he held a luminous cup with exquisite patterns carved on it, swung the wine in the cup, and tasted it slowly with a wet expression on his face, feeling very comfortable.

After tasting the wine, Zhao Lei went downstairs again and went to his favorite stable.

Zhao Lei, the fifth young master of the Zhao family in Tianliang, loves horses very much, especially this "Yinxue" which is his favorite.

Yinxue's body is completely white, her mane is silver, and her muscles are extremely smooth without any blemishes.

This is a pure exotic horse.

There are many big shots in the capital who love horses, and some even buy a huge piece of land on the outskirts of the capital as a horse farm. However, this kind of love is not just about the value of the horses themselves, but more towards the type of antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

And Zhao Lei's love for horses is even deeper.

He likes the feeling of being with horses. Every time he does something that makes him feel sick, he will stay in the horse farm for a while and gain peace.

It can be said that these horses comforted him when he was not recognized.

He had given BMWs to many people, including his closest brothers and sisters, but he had never had such thoughts about this Yinxue.

In Zhao Lei's heart, even if he gave away his woman, he would not give away this horse.

In other words, in a sense, this Yinxue has far surpassed his wife in his heart.

He would always remember the first time he saw Yinxue, when she was just a little pony, and he was already overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, this kind of love lasted for ten years, and even watching it grow up gave me an additional feeling of companionship.

After taking a good look at his own horse and touching it repeatedly, Zhao Lei went to the dining room and started tonight's dinner, feeling particularly relaxed.

He likes the scenery outside the window very much, the wide horse farm and the distant green grass. When the sunset shines on it, it has a sense of beauty that has passed away.

Dining in this kind of environment always makes people feel happy.

Unable to bear it, Fifth Young Master Zhao Lei drank two more drinks.

He doesn't have many hobbies in life, so this is a rare pastime.

After finishing the meal, Zhao Lei walked towards his residence under the afterglow of the setting sun.

He will read in his room for a while and then go to bed.

This is a habit that the fifth young master has developed over the years. His servants and guards had already prepared everything. When he entered the courtyard, they dispersed without disturbing him.

Zhao Lei pushed open the door and entered, and there was still the fragrance of gardenia that he liked in the house.

After just a moment, his expression became solemn.

Because there is an extra smell of blood in the air.

Zhao Lei couldn't help but draw out his sword and concentrate on it.

He found that the bedding on his bed was arched, as if there was a person hiding.

Without any hesitation, Zhao Lei shouted: "Here comes someone!"

There was no response, and it was as quiet as a dead tomb inside and outside the house.

Zhao Lei endured his violent heartbeat and walked to the edge of the bed, holding a sword in one hand and lifting the quilt with the other.

It was like opening a fermentation jar, and the smell of blood, which was not strong at first, suddenly hit my face.

Zhao Lei sat down on the ground and let out a strange scream.

What knocked him down was not the smell of blood, but the scene on the bed.

Lying on the bed was a horse's head.

The horse's head has snow-white skin and its mane is silver, making it very beautiful.

But now this beauty is mixed with rich blood, giving it a broken beauty.

The horse's eyes were open, as if he were still alive.

But the bloody broken neck told him that it would never wake up again.

His most beloved pony Yinxue was killed!

Before the anger could spread, fear had completely taken over the heart of the fifth young master Zhao Lei.

Involuntarily, he thought of his bodyguard, Uncle Li.

But guards are also human beings. Uncle Li is very strong, but he also has his own life.

There are two days in January when Uncle Li will do his own things, and today happens to be the day when Uncle Li is not around.

The opponent's method was like a sharp dagger, hitting his vital point without warning.

Looking at the quiet courtyard, Zhao Lei felt like he was being put into a coffin.

He bravely went out and finally found traces of his personal guards.

They were not dead, just unconscious.

Traces of quicklime are faintly visible in the eyes that are open or closed, and some people's eyes give people a roasted feeling.

There was even a faint smell of barbecue in the air, which made Zhao Lei's eyes hurt.

He looked around, always feeling that there was a pair or two pairs of eyes watching him in a cold corner, just like when he and several brothers were in the attic, looking at Ning Kuan.

He was certain that his complexion at this moment would never be much better than Ning Kuan's at that time.

Is this the Ning family’s revenge?

After that day, the fifth young master of the Zhao family became seriously ill.

After hearing what happened that day, several young masters from the Zhao family felt chills running down their spines.

The protection around Lao Wu was not bad, but the opponent was able to easily cut off the head of Lao Wu's beloved horse and place it on his bed silently.

The battle-hardened guards around him were quietly dealt with.

If the other party thought about it, Lao Wu would probably lose his life on the spot.

What worries them most is not only the opponent's elusive means, but also the opponent's ability to collect intelligence.

Almost all the heirs of the Zhao family are protected by masters in the natal realm, but these masters are also human beings and they also need to rest.

There are always one or two days every month when these masters will deal with their own affairs and will not be with their young masters for the time being.

However, this kind of thing is strictly confidential and irregular. Before the experts leave, there are even people who pretend to be them, giving people the illusion that they are with the young master of the Zhao family anytime and anywhere.

It's a pity that these arrangements were ruthlessly seen through by the other party.

The other party was like a seasoned snake catcher who would hit the snake within seven inches without taking action.

Without thinking, they knew that this was the Ning family's revenge.

The Ning family did not take any further action and only killed one horse. This could be said to be a warning.

The young masters all felt fear in their hearts, and even began to doubt whether the people around them had spies from the Ning family.

From their perspective, other than the fact that there is a traitor, it is difficult to explain why the Ning family is so knowledgeable about Lao Wu's situation.

What they don't know is that some things that are difficult for humans to do are easy for a cat.

The cooperation between Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi is perfect. With the help of the cat Lin Xiangzhi, Ji Que can be said to have opened up the perspective.

The fourth child of the Zhao family did not sit still in the end and informed his father Zhao Wuji of the matter, but the response he received was - "Solve your own affairs by yourself!".

He did keep his promise and he would not interfere in the affairs of his descendants.

In the quaint study room, with clear blue water outside, Zhao Wuji heard the report from his subordinates and couldn't help but say two words - "Trash!".

This sentence does not specify who it is. It may be talking about one person or several people, but the one who bears the brunt is naturally the fifth son Zhao Lei.

The subordinate, who had worked diligently with the family leader for decades, couldn't help but said with relief: "If the Ning family sent experts over this matter, it would really be difficult to prevent it."

Zhao Wuji sneered and said: "I know who Ning Chenghai is better than you. He and I both have a bottom line on this kind of thing, and he will not violate this bottom line."

On the surface, the sects of the aristocratic families in the capital are not on the same page, they are just fighting secretly. This is all because they have established rules.

The Zhao family burned down the Ning family's shop and sank the Ning family's boat, all of which were done secretly. There is no way to convict without real evidence, and there is a certain amount of discretion in it.

From beginning to end, no one from the Ning family died, and similarly, no elder from the Zhao family took action.

The same is true for the Ning family's revenge. After all, they just killed a horse.

But this horse is enough to scare people's courage.

That their useless son came to look for him was enough to prove that they were afraid.

This fear actually means losing.

In this secret game, his heirs lost so much that they were nothing but useless.

After killing Zhao Lei's horse, the Zhao family stopped moving for a while, and the Ning family's frustrated business gradually recovered.

The burned street was rebuilt and the shops were reopened one after another. Although it was still covered with a shadow and it was difficult to restore its original glory, it finally made a beginning.

The merchant ships on the waterway have not sunk again, and the docks have begun to become peaceful. The most important thing is confidence.

Those who saw these changes were sure that the Ning family had solved the terrible trouble.

The fact that the Ning family has been able to take root in the south for so many years certainly has a solid foundation.

And half a month later, Mr. Zhao sent someone to deliver a bag of tea, which finally brought an end to the matter.

The bag of tea was small and the tea leaves were mediocre, but it showed their attitude of seeking peace.

The brothers of the Ning family looked at the tea leaves and were astonished to Ji Que for a moment. They all asked Ji Que for advice on how he did it.

In their understanding, the Zhao family is not someone who easily seeks peace.

Ji Que explained his method of doing things.

"You mean, you killed the fifth son of the Zhao family's favorite horse and scared that guy out of his wits?" The third son of the Ning family clicked his tongue in surprise.

For a moment, everyone in the Ning family had different expressions on their faces, as if they had seen the scene where the fifth child of the Zhao family almost wet his pants when he saw the horse's head with his own eyes.

"After all, you young masters have too much, and you look impressive, but in fact you are afraid of death."

Ji Que couldn't help but boast again: "Unlike me, there are only a few houses that are collapsed and collapsed, and there is an inexplicable deep hole. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, that's all."

To put it bluntly, he used a technique from a movie he watched in his previous life.

It's just that the big boss in the movie can call the shots and doesn't need to take action personally, but he needs to lead Lin Xiangori to take action in person.

He said it lightly, but the second eldest son of the Ning family, who is good at thinking, still couldn't help but ask: "How do you do this?"

What he was referring to, of course, was that Ji Que could easily kill his horse and put it on the opponent's bed when the fifth son of the Zhao family was guarded by a master and was closely guarded.

You must know that to accomplish this, you must strictly control the timing.

They knew that Ji Que only asked his father for 4,000 taels of silver, but the guards of the Zhao family could not be bought easily with just 4,000 taels.

Ji Que replied: "Of course I have my own methods."

For a time, the young masters of the Ning family couldn't help but be more convinced of Ji Que, and even thought he was a little mysterious.

They were convinced by Ji Que's combat prowess before. After all, he was a guy who could deal with the four direct disciples of Zhu Xiang. But this time, Ji Que's methods of revenge and his propriety in doing things could be said to be just right.

They had to admire it.

He did beat up several young masters of the Zhao family without killing anyone.

They were quite dissatisfied with their father's decision at first, but now they gradually realize that the Ning family seems to have really found a treasure.

On the flower stand outside the house, Lin Xiangzhi, who had turned into a white cat, looked at Ji Que "pretending" with a look of contempt on his face.

In fact, she is the biggest contributor to this being possible.

Damn it, he is so carefree and annoying, yet I would still help him!

Lin Xiangzhi couldn't help but said in frustration.

But seeing Ji Que being admired by the brothers of the Ning family, she couldn't help feeling happy.

Without me, you still can't do anything.

On the other side of the Ning Mansion, Ning Chenghai, the head of the Ning family, couldn't help laughing as he listened to the old butler's report.

"I really want to open this kid's head and see what's inside. He can think of such a method."

In these spring days, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and Ning Chenghai, who was originally serious and difficult to deal with, has become more and more amiable.

On the other side, the second son of the Zhao family still met his father.

Zhao Yu, the second eldest son of the Zhao family, was dressed elegantly, but there was always a fierce look in his eyebrows.

He looked at his father, Zhao Wuji, and said calmly: "My brothers were intimidated by the Ning family, but I was not. I'm sure that the Ning family was just bluffing and didn't dare to continue to follow."

Zhao Wuji looked at his son and replied: "What's the point of this little battle of loyalty?"

"But our Zhao family should not be the one to admit defeat." Zhao Yu responded.

"You have to take a long-term view when doing things. Sometimes the things you are particularly angry about, but if you extend the time, you will find that it is nothing more than that. You should have heard what I said about the Ning family's treasure trove of wealth." Zhao Wuji wrote lightly.

Zhao Yu's expression suddenly became serious and he said: "Treasure House of the God of Wealth?"

Zhao Wuji said lightly: "This is the lifeblood of the Ning family. As long as we obtain it or even destroy this treasure house, it will undoubtedly break the foundation of the Ning family. This is much more deadly than killing a horse or killing its mother."

.”

"But as the God of Wealth's treasure house is so important, the Ning family must have guarded it very tightly." Zhao Yu analyzed.

"The Ning family has the means to know the whereabouts of your fifth brother's guard, Uncle Li, and to do it at the most appropriate time, but I, the Zhao family, are not blind in the Ning family." Zhao Wuji spoke eloquently.

"What dad meant."

Zhao Wuji nodded and said: "This matter has been planned for much longer than you think, and the marriage is not a temporary idea of ​​mine. If you want to decide the outcome, just wait until the Beginning of Summer, and we will have a big game with the Ning family.

of."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu, the second young master of the Zhao family, couldn't help but shine with excitement in his eyes, and his eyebrows were even more fierce.

Zhao Wuji looked at him, shook his head, and said, "Yu'er, sometimes the emotions between your brows and eyes are too obvious. This is not a good thing."

Zhao Yu said helplessly: "Dad, you don't know that I am born. I looked like this when I was born. Even my wet nurse shook her head when she saw me. When I was older, she was even afraid of me. I later found out that she thought I was

It seemed like I was going to do something bad, but I really didn’t think about anything.”
