Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 421: Harvest, the Martial Arts Grandmaster's Collection! (Two in One)

“Even if the ancestor is fine, this matter has already spread. The Wang family, the Meng family, and even the Chu family and the Tang family are all trying to find out about it.

Once they confirm that our ancestor has not returned, they will definitely attack us fiercely like last time. If the ancestor still has not returned, how should we respond?"

Zhao Boqi's tone became heavier at this time.

In the past, he rarely contradicted the most powerful elders in the family, but the current situation made him unable to care about that.

They must not sit still and wait for death!
Even if you run away, you'd better run away quickly!

Seeing that the elders were willing to listen to him, Zhao Boqi continued.

"The spies in the palace reported that Hu Zong is investigating us!"

After these words were spoken, several elders of the Zhao family could no longer remain calm.

They all knew who was standing behind Hu Zhong.

Hu Zhong's move was most likely King Cui's intention!
If even the Cui King wants to attack them this time, will the Zhao family still have a tomorrow if they continue to stay in the main city of Cuibai Road?
"This is not surprising. Song Changming is the new commander-in-chief of the military. He has been highly appreciated by Queen Cui in the past two years. As long as he reveals this matter to Queen Cui, Queen Cui will take action against us out of both emotion and reason.

Not to mention that there is no news from the ancestor right now, even if the ancestor came back, would King Cui give up? "

After Zhao Boqi said this, the elders in the hall fell silent.

In the past, King Cui's attitude was to protect his Zhao family. Even under the pressure from the major families, it was King Cui who finally stopped the matter.

And now, if even King Cui wants to take action against them, their Zhao family will really have no way to survive.

Once the situation becomes weak, you will see enemies everywhere in the city!

"But what can you do?" Zhao Xinlei wanted to refute a few more words, but Zhao Butong on the side stomped the crutch in his hand.

"Just do as Boqi said."

Among the group of elders, Zhao Butong is the one with the highest status.

Since he made the final decision in support, even Zhao Xinlei stopped arguing.

Seeing this, Zhao Boqi felt relieved.

No matter what, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

As long as people are still here, this is more important than anything else.

Moreover, when surrounded by a pack of wolves, it is better to escape actively than to stay and endure the consequences passively!
"In this case, the sooner the better." Zhao Boqi said.

"When do you plan to do it?" Zhao Butong asked.

"Tonight!" Zhao Boqi already had a plan in mind and had even started making arrangements today.

"So urgent?" Zhao Lie still couldn't accept it, and he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

If the ancestor is safe and returns in time, perhaps all the difficulties faced by the family will be solved.

Many people are unable to give up their family's huge foundation. If they leave the main city and Cuibai Road, they will no longer be the top local families.

However, Zhao Boqi felt that evacuation was the only way to preserve the family business.

"Make a decision when you need to, otherwise things will change!" Zhao Boqi's gaze passed over Zhao Lie, Zhao Xinlei, and fell on Zhao Butong.

"Do as I say." Zhao Butong said these two words with a stern face.

Zhao Boqi nodded and strode away.

into the night.

The streets outside the Zhao residence were empty and silent.

However, the Zhao Mansion was bustling with activity and no one went to sleep tonight.

"Hurry, my young master, hurry up." The family stewards kept urging.

The first group of tribesmen on the list who were leaving were loaded into the carriages one after another.

As for supplies and inheritance, they are all stored in many storage bags and will be taken away together.

In the lobby, Zhao Boqi and several elders stayed up all night, quietly waiting for everything to be ready.

He had already made arrangements for the city gates and even the night patrols on the streets so that there wouldn't be any mistakes.

"Master, we can go now!" A clan member walked over quickly and reported.

Zhao Boqi nodded, and when he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed.

Several other elders of the clan also changed their expressions.

"who!"

At the same time, shouts were heard from inside Zhao's mansion.

Zhao Boqi stood up suddenly and strode out. He saw dozens of figures standing or sitting on the tops of the tallest buildings in the mansion, quietly witnessing everything that happened in the Zhao Mansion.

Under the bright moonlight, the figures of these people were elongated, and the air was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

"The Zhao family is suspected of plotting to murder the military commander, and the royal palace's Jinyiwei have been ordered to come and arrest them." Among the figures, someone saw Zhao Boqi, the head of the Zhao family, who appeared, and immediately spoke.

The voice floated across the Zhao Mansion and was heard clearly by everyone in the mansion, including Zhao Boqi himself.

"Damn it!" Zhao Boqi clenched his fists. He didn't expect the palace to react so quickly.

Or maybe, the palace had already noticed their every move, and this was not a coincidence, but they had already expected that they would escape overnight, and deliberately came to arrest them at this critical juncture.

In this case, he could be charged with another serious crime of fleeing from the crime!

That Hu Zhong, or that King Cui, wants to kill the Zhao family with one blow!
Zhao Boqi was filled with despair. There were only two choices before him.

Or they could mobilize the entire clan to rise up in resistance and try their best to break out of the city and escape.

Or, raise your hands in surrender, ask King Cui for forgiveness, and preserve the Zhao family's inheritance.

If the former is chosen, there will be no turning back, and it is very likely that the Zhao family will be completely wiped out and disappear completely overnight.

As for the latter, it is not certain that King Cui will be so merciful as to let the Zhao family go. They may become lambs to be slaughtered, waiting to be eaten one by one after the wolves have made their decision.

After all, if Prince Cui was merciful, he would not have sent the palace's strongest Jinyiwei to arrest people tonight.

It seemed that neither choice left the Zhao family with a way out, which was why Zhao Boqi was in despair.

Zhao Boqi turned around and looked at the angry Zhao Lie and Zhao Xinlei, and finally his gaze fell on the clan elder Zhao Butong.

The old man grasped his cane with both hands, seeming to realize the desperate situation the Zhao family was facing.

"Boqi, you are the head of the Zhao family, you make the decision." Zhao Butong sighed and closed his gloomy eyes.

"Put down your weapons." Zhao Boqi made his own choice.

This may also be the last order he issued as the head of the Zhao family.

"A wise choice." The Jinyiwei smiled faintly.

The door of the Zhao family opened, and Zhao Boqi walked out with a group of Zhao family members.

He finally understood why the Jinyiwei said that this was a wise choice for him.

A large number of officers and soldiers from the palace had already gathered on the streets of the core urban area. With just one order, they could surround the Zhao Mansion.

Not only that, Hu Zong also dispatched several elite troops to the border of the core urban area, ready to be on standby at any time.

Looking at the sky full of innate warriors, if a family as strong as the Zhao family dared to act recklessly, the outcome was foreseeable and would be bleak. There was a high probability that no one in the family would escape.

In a trance, Zhao Boqi saw Song Changming in the air in the distance. He never dreamed that the two disasters concerning the Zhao family were caused by Song Changming.

Obviously this person has no status or background, but he always makes the Zhao family suffer setbacks, and even caused them to suffer a devastating disaster this time!

In the distance, Song Changming stood in the air with his hands folded across his chest, quietly watching all the Zhao family members, young and old, being taken away.

And the Zhao family was confiscated because of this!
"It really makes people happy!" Xing Tiexin said happily on the side.

The Zhao family wanted to kill them at the beginning, but today the three of them are still alive and well. On the other hand, the Zhao family, once a top family, has accelerated its decline and is completely heading towards destruction!

This was definitely something that the three of them would welcome.

Xing Tiexin thought that this scene could not be missed, so he dragged Yang Zhen and Xing Tiexin to come and watch together to vent his hatred.

"Okay, we've seen it all, let's go back and have a drink." Song Changming said.

He actually had no interest in coming over to watch, and he was the only one who knew best that the fate of the Zhao family was doomed the moment the ancestor of the Zhao family died.

Now that I see that the Zhao family did not choose to fight to the bitter end but instead surrendered, it seems even more boring. It would be better to just drink and have fun.

Afterwards, the news that the Zhao family was sealed off by the royal palace quickly spread throughout the city.

This is the biggest incident that has occurred on Cuibai Road since the Obsidian period.

The palace also quickly disclosed the Zhao family's past crimes and scandals. Some of them sounded extremely bad, even to the point of being outrageous to both humans and gods.

Song Changming being attacked repeatedly by the Zhao family was not the worst thing that happened to him. Even among all the incidents that happened over the past few hundred years, it was not even among the top ten.

This is what aristocratic families are like. With hundreds and thousands of years of history, while their glory is accumulating layer by layer, they are also undergoing a long process of harboring filth and corruption.

Every noble family cannot withstand scrutiny, but this time it is only because the Zhao family has fallen that these dark sides have been brought out and talked about.

After that, there will be a big reckoning.

Those who were beheaded, those who were imprisoned for life, those who were exiled, and those who were enslaved were divided quite meticulously according to what each member of the Zhao family had done in the past.

Even the elders and the head of the Zhao family were not spared.

Everyone knew that the Zhao family was completely finished.

The Zhao family’s conviction was bound to be talked about among the public for a long time.

It was not until this moment that many civilians and warriors realized that the top families in the core urban area were not eternal and indestructible.

Like other human forces, they will also face adversity or even destruction one day.

In addition to the settlement of the crimes, all the assets and belongings of the Zhao family, inside and outside, were also liquidated and confiscated by the palace.

Of course, in order to appease the emotions of the aristocratic families, King Cui did not take everything for himself.

He still took out a portion of his earnings and negotiated to distribute it to other families in the core urban area to calm their rebellious emotions.

Song Changming didn't expect that even he was involved.

As a victim in the incident, he obtained several high-quality assets of the Zhao family in the urban area, as well as a lot of spiritual crystals, some treasures, rare natural treasures, etc.

Adding everything together, the conservative estimate is probably more than a thousand high-quality spirit crystals!

Even for Song Changming now, this is not a small number.

Even if he were to indulge in cultivation with high-quality spirit crystals, this amount would be enough for him to use for six or seven years.

The income that Song Ping'an has earned over the years has not reached this figure.

Not to mention that many of these things cannot be bought even with money.

For example, the Zhao family's high-quality assets, as long as Song Changming does not sell them and can operate them properly, they will be gooses that lay golden eggs.

Song Changming was able to obtain these assets from those aristocratic families, which was like snatching food from the mouths of a pack of wolves.

This is certainly not something he could have achieved by being a victim. It must be Hu Zhong or Cui Wang who was helping him.

"Tianxia Restaurant on Chang'an Street, Yiming Pawnshop on Dongxiang Street, and Pharmacy on Changsi Street"

Song Ping'an looked at the several deeds and documents he handled and laughed out loud.

"Are you confident in letting you manage these properties?" Song Changming asked.

If Lian Song Ping'an can't run it, he doesn't mind cashing it in.

"Don't worry, sir." Song Ping'an patted his chest, full of confidence.

Song Changming nodded. He also gave Song Ping'an enough trust and handed over full authority to him without asking about the matter anymore.

Song Ping'an excitedly took the deeds and documents and went with his men to take over the former properties of the Zhao family.

Song Changming stayed in his residence, and as usual at this time, he used up the Qiankun Ring left by the ancestor of the Zhao family.

More than a month has passed since he obtained this Qiankun Ring.

The process of wearing away the seal took quite a long time.

Until today, the rune seal on the Qiankun Ring was finally worn out by him.

hum!
Accompanied by a wave of energy, Song Changming's mental power was finally connected with the Qiankun Ring and was no longer rejected.

Song Changming opened his eyes, grabbed the Qiankun Ring in front of him in his palm, and then opened it without hesitation.

What comes into view is a sea of ​​jewels.

It can be seen that this ancestor of the Zhao family has the same characteristics as the lizard dragon and likes to collect shiny golden treasures.

Golden sword, golden crown, golden armor, golden teapot.
Some can be recognized as talismans at a glance, while others are simply ordinary collections based on personal preference.

The values ​​of these items varied, and Song Changming was overwhelmed by the sight.

The reserves of spirit crystals are less than expected, with a small pile of medium and low-quality spirit crystals and two or three hundred high-quality spirit crystals.

Considering the identity of the ancestor of the Zhao family, this amount of spiritual crystal reserves is not enough.

But considering that this is just a Qiankun ring in the hands of the ancestor of the Zhao family, it makes sense.

With the support of the Zhao family, there was really no need for him to carry all his savings with him at all times.

Even Song Changming had a considerable portion of his spiritual crystal savings, which were placed with Song Ping'an for running his businesses. He only kept a portion of high-quality spiritual crystals on himself for cultivation.

Moreover, two or three hundred high-quality spirit crystals are definitely a huge income.

Song Changming shifted his attention away from the spirit crystal and continued to examine it.

Suddenly, he flipped his hand and found a slightly old book.

There were a few large characters written on the book.

First-grade Yuntian Sword Technique!

"Good stuff, a first-grade sword technique." Song Changming flipped through it casually and muttered.

First-grade martial arts techniques are rare in the world, and Song Changming has only obtained a set of first-grade Red Cloud Sword Techniques from Hu Zhong.

This set of sword techniques was the second set of first-grade martial arts techniques he had seen.

It’s a pity that this is a book of sword techniques, not knife techniques.

Although he also has some attainments in kendo, it is still far from as profound as the way of the sword. However, it is not impossible to practice it.

All things have something in common. Even sword techniques can bring him inspiration and profound insights when practiced.
