Legend of Zhan Zhao

Chapter 53: Can Reconciliation Be Reached?
"you!!"

When the entire Six Doors were nearly wiped out by one person, Zhou Wuxin's face turned pale as he watched the other person turn and leave, while Zhao Wujiu could not hide his astonishment.

Last time in front of the Great Xiangguo Temple, Zhao Wujiu fought with the other party and narrowly lost by one move. Afterwards, Su Wuqing told him that Jie Wen and Zhan Zhao had held back because they were wary of the existence of this leader of the Four Great Constables.

But here's the thing.

How many tricks did this kid hold back?
If they had displayed such strength back then, the Six Doors wouldn't have ordered their arrest today.

It's impossible that his martial arts skills improved by more than a month, right?

Is he about to become a martial arts master?
Zhan Zhao, however, was well aware that he still had a long way to go before becoming a grandmaster.

The acupoints and acupoints are indeed wondrous and mysterious.

The original six-line invisible sword energy had a strong mechanism.

In terms of numerical values, his age and skill level limit his ability, which is indeed a weakness.

Therefore, to win against top-tier martial arts masters like the Four Great Constables, one must gradually accumulate advantages.

To achieve a swift victory, the only option is to devise tactics and exploit the enemy's weaknesses.

However, since mastering the first acupoint's wondrous "Yao Guang," the stats of this martial art have improved, making up for its biggest weakness.

Once the mechanism and the numerical values ​​are in place, then the saying will come true—

A martial arts skill that is even slightly superior is boundless.

There is no situation where someone is clearly superior to their opponent, yet it takes days and nights to determine a winner.

Of course, having experienced a real battle, Zhan Zhao also had a clearer plan for his future improvement, which made him very happy.

So after he had his fun, he sheathed his sword and left.

But after walking a short distance, he turned back: "Oh, right! There's one more thing!"

Everyone became nervous.

Zhan Zhao then took out a roll of silver thread from his waist: "This is Su Shenbu's 'Panlong Silk.' Now that he is no longer here, handing it over to the Six Doors is a way of returning it to its rightful owner."

"'Panlong Silk'!"

Zhou Wuxin stared at the thin thread and exclaimed in surprise, "How did this end up in your hands?"

"It was given to me by Detective Su last night."

Zhan Zhao had also been cautious just now.

Although he admitted to meeting Su Wuqing last night and recounting the case at the Gu family mansion, he did not disclose the details of the Panlong Silk.

After all, Su Wuqing has now disappeared, and the unique hidden weapon is in their hands. If the Six Doors use this as an excuse, it would be difficult to explain.

But even without mentioning this, the other party still launched an attack.

Now that the job is done, Zhan Zhao won't keep everything for himself.

Even if the Panlong Silk is indeed a rare treasure in the martial arts world, Su Wuqing generously lent it to him. If he were to embezzle it at this moment, it would be despicable.

The item was returned to its rightful owner, and the two parties are no longer involved.

"Wait a minute!"

However, after the initial shock, Zhou Wuxin's body trembled, and he suddenly broke free from the pressure points that Lian Caiyun had struck, standing up: "Young Master Zhan, please wait!"

Zhan Zhao raised an eyebrow: "You still want me to stay?"

He had just shown mercy; the constables looked miserable, but they weren't seriously injured.

But if the other party is truly oblivious, then don't blame him for resorting to drastic measures.

"no no!"

Zhou Wuxin quickly shook his head and explained seriously, "My elder brother never lends his hidden weapons to outsiders easily. Since he did it last night, I'm afraid he has another reason!"

Zhan Zhao said calmly, "Then that's none of my business."

If the Six Doors had spoken politely, he would have calmly discussed the progress of the Zhong Kui painting case with them. Many hands make light work, and the same applies to solving cases.

But the Six Doors just came to arrest him without even asking what happened. Perhaps they lost their composure in their haste. Zhan Zhao wouldn't tolerate it, so he naturally prepared to leave.

"Young Master Zhan!!"

Zhou Wuxin grew anxious, took two steps forward, clasped his hands and bowed: "I didn't know that my elder brother had entrusted the 'Panlong Silk' to him. He has absolute trust in Young Hero Zhan. I hope that for my elder brother's sake, Young Hero Zhan, you can let me finish what I have to say?"

Zhan Zhao thought of the patient in the wheelchair, the only detective who was easy to communicate with, and frowned slightly: "Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."

"Behind the plaque in the main hall, my elder brother left a secret box with five keyholes, which correspond to five hidden weapons. Only these five hidden weapons can open the box."

Zhou Wuxin said, "That's why my elder brother never lends his hidden weapons to outsiders. Once he does, it means he believes that person is qualified to open the secret box and see the secret message inside!"

"I see."

Zhan Zhao nodded: "Then take the 'Panlong Silk' to open the secret box. If Su Shenbu left any clues before he disappeared, we can rescue him."

Zhou Wuxin hurriedly said, "I'm afraid Brother's message is related to Young Hero Zhan. Could you please open it yourself, Young Hero Zhan? At least be a witness!"

Zhao Wujiu had also caught his breath, and his expression changed slightly upon hearing this: "Third Brother..."

Zhou Wuxin raised his hand to stop him: "My elder brother instructed that if anything happens to him, anyone who has his personal belongings can open the secret box, no matter who it is! My elder brother's actions always have a deeper meaning, and I trust his decisions!"

'Su Wuqing's prestige is truly extremely high.'

Zhan Zhao thought of Jie Wen's evaluation.

Su Wuqing deserves half the credit for the prestige of the Four Great Constables of our time, and perhaps even more.

Such a person was actually captured by "Zhong Kui".

Moreover, it was in the headquarters of the Six Doors.

What methods did the other party use?
Even so, Su Wuqing still had a backup plan, which made Zhou Wuxin and Zhao Wujiu willing to comply...

"That's fine!"

"Let's go check out Detective Su's secret box!"

Without further ado, the four of them immediately went to the main hall and looked at the gold-lacquered plaque hanging above the door with the four characters "正大光明" (upright and honorable).

Zhao Wujiu leaped up, grabbed a box, and then swooped down.

Zhou Wuxin picked up the coiled dragon silk, thought for a moment, and looked over again: "Young Master Zhan?"

Zhan Zhao raised his hand: "You open it."

"call!"

Zhou Wuxin was visibly nervous. He picked up the coiled dragon silk, channeled his true energy into it, and inserted it into a thin groove on the right side. With a few clicks, the box was opened.

He eagerly took out the letter inside, his eyes quickly scanning it.

But after reading it, he was clearly stunned, and even couldn't help but read it a second time.

After reading it twice, Zhou Wuxin remained silent for a moment before quietly handing it to Zhao Wujiu.

Zhao Wujiu took it, and after reading it, his body stiffened, his eyes also showing a deep look of astonishment: "How is this possible?"

Zhao Yun and the other person had already moved a bit further away.

Seeing this, Lian Caiyun whispered, "Big brother, what are they surprised about?"

"do not know."

Zhan Zhao shook his head slightly, feeling curious but unable to guess for the moment.

Zhou Wuxin and Zhao Wujiu whispered a few words and even had a small argument. After they finished discussing, they came over, clasped their hands and said, "My elder brother said that in the case of the Zhong Kui painting, Young Hero Zhan is the most promising person to solve the case. He invites you to take the Jade Mirror and enter the Six Doors to temporarily take over the position of Divine Constable!"

"what?"

After saying that, they forced an extremely awkward bitter smile at the dumbfounded Lian Caiyun and the raised eyebrows of Zhan Zhao: "Can we make up for the misunderstanding just now?"
