My plug-in is a fairy grass

Chapter 779 Zhao Xi
Xu Guoli [-], early spring

Qingzhou, Mufu Yamen, dusk
In a large study room, sat a middle-aged man with elegant appearance.

One of Xu State's ten state herdsmen, Qingzhou herdsman, Zhao Xi.

After the successive deaths of the two ancestors of the Zifu, the Zhao family not only did not collapse, but became even more prosperous.Zhang Hejing, Zhao Yue'er, Yang Zhen and others successively became Zifu, and there were several real people behind them to support them, so under the grace, Zhao Xi also had a prosperous official career.

If it wasn't that he didn't want to work in the Central Committee, even a first-rank Zai Zhi would not be out of the question.

These mortals are just taking care of the world for the cultivators.

Years of official career did not leave many traces of time on Zhao Xi's face.Because he was born in a cultivating family, he was never short of all kinds of panacea. Now he is 40-[-] years old, and he looks like an ordinary [-]-[-]-year-old person. He is still the same as Yang Zhen when he first saw him. Juan Shuang.

It's just that at this moment, his brows were furrowed, which made him look a bit old.

In front of him, there are all kinds of porcelain, terracotta tiles, swords and so on.

This is something he collected everywhere in order to please his father.

It's just that apart from a first-grade top-grade alchemy furnace, there are no other useful discoveries.

That was also the rare moment in his life when he felt recognized by his father.

After that, he searched for many similar old things one after another, but he never expected that what he was waiting for in the end was the news of his father's death.

Even so, he has always been reluctant to throw away these things. It seems that as long as they are still there, his father will suddenly appear one day, and just like that day, he will accidentally find one or two treasures.

It's a pity, it's a delusion after all.

Today, he has to discard them.

He is about to leave here, and it is not known if there is a possibility of returning after this trip.

"Boom!"

Outside the house, several bright lights pierced the dark sky, accompanied by several dull roars.

……

"boom!"

The door slammed open, and a young man rushed in: "Father—"

This man was 28 or [-] years old, dressed in a seventh-rank green robe official uniform, and his appearance was almost [-]% similar to Zhao Xi. He was his eldest son, Zhao Dan.

"Get out!" Zhao Xi's expression darkened.

Zhao Dan was stunned, and hurriedly backed out. After a while, there was a singing voice outside the door: "Lord Zhou Mu, my subordinates have something important to report."

"Come in!"

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Looking at his panting son, Zhao Xi sighed and said earnestly:

"You are also almost 30 years old, always so flustered, what do you look like!"

"My lord," Zhao Dan said anxiously with a flash of disbelief on his face, "The Dou family sent someone over, saying that the state city is about to lose its hold, and let us quickly retreat to the state palace to take refuge."

"Understood." Zhao Xi had expected it a long time ago, got up unhurriedly, took off the official uniform hanging beside the desk and put it on, and took a deep look at the pots and pans in the room, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go." !"

Zhao Dan was sweating profusely. Seeing this, he quickly raised the prepared lantern and led the way.

After walking a few steps in a hurry, he turned his head and found his father following unhurriedly, he couldn't help stamping his feet, and stopped to wait for him.

The two walked back and forth for a while, and he couldn't help but said: "Father, since the Dou family has issued a warning, let's leave quickly."

"What are you panicking!" Zhao Xi waved his hand: "Even if the city is broken, those monsters still have to besiege the state palace, and they won't be able to find us mortals for a while..."

"Taking a step back, your mother, your younger brothers and sisters, and your own wife and children have all been sent to Weiyang, so there is nothing to worry about as long as we stay here..."

"Dan'er, always be calm when faced with major events. Although we are mortals, we must not lose face to your grandpa. At worst, we will die. Are you still afraid of dying?"

This is what it says...

Zhao Dan puffed out his chest: "The child is not afraid of death!"

"Okay." Zhao Xi nodded, looked around and said in a low voice, "Dan'er, we ordinary people who have no power to restrain a chicken are not looked down upon by those cultivators. Wouldn't it be even more contemptible if you were in a panic when something happened?"

"My official is the shepherd of Qingzhou. I was ordered by the court to govern Qingzhou. Even if I went to take refuge on other people's land, they invited me there. I am definitely not a bereaved dog. How can I lose my manners and shame the court?"

These words were more righteous, Zhao Dan heard it, but he was not convinced: "The master of the state palace is just a purple mansion, does he dare to look down on us? My sister is..."

"That's your sister too, not you!" Zhao Xi snapped.

Zhao Dan blushed and remained silent.

Except for a few soldiers on duty, most of the huge Mufu yamen had been evacuated, and there were not many people to be seen, only the footsteps of two people echoed in the corridor.

After a while, Zhao Dan couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but said again:

"I went back to Weiyang a few days ago, but I didn't see my sister."

"Oh, Yue'er, where did she go?"

"I don't know," Zhao Dan lowered his head, "Since my brother-in-law died, my sister has been traveling all over the world. She is not in her hometown all year round, and I heard that she is not in the sect. No one knows where she has gone. I asked the patriarch to send a paper kite summons, After talking about our situation here, as for whether my sister can receive it, no one is sure."

"It's fine if you don't know." Zhao Xi sighed.

"However, my child heard that there were four or five of the sea monsters attacking Zhoucheng this time, just in form," Zhao Dan said indignantly, "Why did the Shangzong only send a real person, Old Ancestor Dou, to guard this city? There are so many real people in the Shangzong, and there is a teleportation array in the state palace, why don't you send more people over to kill these sea monsters?"

"How can I wait to talk about the matter of the last emperor?" Zhao Xi stopped softly.

Seeing the resentment on his son's face, he sighed secretly, and could only say a few more words:

"How do you know that the sea monsters are not prepared? Last year, the Shangzong lost a real person, and I heard from Yue'er that the person was still the ancestor's direct disciple. Now that there are things going on everywhere in the Xu country, we need to be patient. The power in your hand is thrown out all at once? If there is another loss, who can afford it?"

"Could it be," said Zhao Dan anxiously, "Could it be that he just watched the sea monster..."

"Master Hou!"

"master!"

Two calls interrupted the young man's complaints.

Zhao Xi raised his eyes and saw that at the gate of the Mu Mansion, two monks were respectfully clasping their fists in salute.

He knew these two people, one was the twelve elders of the Zhao family, and the other was a deacon of the Dou family, both of them were in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Apparently, for him, a Qingzhou shepherd, no matter whether it was his hometown in Fuyang or the Dou family, he dared not ignore him, and all the important forces in the clan were sent.

At this time, both of them had a bit of anxiety on their faces, and it was obvious that they were impatient to wait.It's just that Zhao Xi governed the Mufu mansion with many rules. Without his permission, even monks could not enter at will.

That's why Zhao Dan, who has no cultivation base, was asked to report the news.

However, this time is a bit long.

"Master," the Twelve Elder urged, "The battle at the city wall won't last long, please get in the car quickly!"

Zhao Xi let out a "hmm".The Twelve Elders were two years older than him, and he called him a master not only because he was Zhao Beiqing's son, but also because he had a good daughter.

He turned his head and looked to the east, only to see clusters of flames bursting out from time to time in the distant sky, there were bursts of noise, and the faint sound of fighting and shouting could be heard.

He couldn't see anything for a while, but at this moment, he didn't continue to carry it, and strode towards the carriage outside the gate.

There were three carriages in total, and two red lanterns were hung in front of each carriage, with big characters such as "Zhao" and "Zhou Mu" written on them, indicating the identity of the passengers.

There are already some officials from the Mu family sitting in the car, and they are waiting for the two of them.

"drive--"

When Zhao Xi and his son got into the carriage in the middle, they shouted, and the horse team galloped towards the depths of the alleyway.

The two monks jumped into the air and followed closely.

At this moment, "Crack!" A silver snake pierced the sky!
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and big raindrops hit the bluestone slabs, splashing everywhere.

"Oops!"

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators exclaimed at the same time!

When the defense formation was activated, the entire city was wrapped in eggshells, not only resisting various magical attacks, but also natural wind, rain, thunder and lightning.

But now, the torrential rain passed through the formation and fell to the ground!
this means--

The big formation is crumbling!
