The Grand Void – Becoming a Dragon

The new Patriarch of the Zhao family, was killed by someone in his own house, among more than a hundred guards?

Almost at the same time, both the local chief order and deputy order were seriously ill?

"Seriously injured or seriously ill, it's hard to say."

Zhuang Ming thought for a moment, then said: "Did you come across such a thing when you are new here? This person dares to take action against the court official appointed by the Great Chu Dynasty. It is really daring, but there is still room for it. He was only injured, and he did not dare to kill... ..."

"Young Master, have you got a clue?" Yue Ting was stunned, but he has always known that Young Master is quick-witted, so it's not surprising.

"This place is vast and prosperous. Compared with Jiangdi, it is even worse. The official order in the hands of the local Lord Zhengling must be more powerful than Jiangdi Zhengling. Under the golden core, It must be controlled by him." Zhuang Ming said.

"That is to say, today's assassin is Jindan Daoist?" Lu He whispered.

"Assassin? If there is no accident, he must have swaggered into Zhao's house..." Zhuang Ming replied flatly.

"The rumors are true." Lu He said: "In the Zhao family, there are two martial arts masters, both of whom are third-level martial arts, and they couldn't stop them. After a while, he walked away."

"Easy to kill?" Zhuang Ming looked at Lu He and said, "You are already considered the top among the master-level warriors, and you have reached the peak level of secular warriors. With your ability, can you break into the Zhao family? Among the hundreds of elite guards, easily kill the two great masters and behead the new head of the Zhao family?"

"It's not easy..." Lu He whispered: "To kill two great masters, and face hundreds of guards, I heard that the new head of the Zhao family is not an ordinary person. Arriving, but it will be hurt, let alone a moment, complete this move, and leave.”

"Much stronger than you, the person who comes here must be a real person of the Jindan level." Zhuang Ming said slowly: "The person who comes here must know the people behind the Zhao family and still dare to call the door, so he must feel that he is better than the Zhao family. The real person behind it, and he himself, can defeat the local Zhengling, which also proves that he is really powerful."

"Could it be that you came here for Chi Yanzhi?" Lu He and Yue Ting looked at each other.

"If it's not seeking revenge, it's probably because of Chi Yanzhi." Zhuang Ming thought for a while and asked, "Where did the visitors go?"

"The seventh mansion of the Nanyuan Realm." Lu He said.

"The seventh mansion?" Zhuang Ming closed his eyes slightly, and immediately asked: "Is the direction from the fifth mansion to the sixth mansion close to the seventh mansion?"

"How does your master know?" Yue Ting asked in surprise.

"Is there a special place over there?" Zhuang Ming didn't answer, but asked again.

"There is indeed a place called Anxianyu, which is not listed in any prefecture." Yue Ting nodded hurriedly, his face still surprised.

"My lord thinks..." Lu He said slowly, "Where is the market?"

"The person who sits in the market, his official position is no lower than that of the palm seal of the government." Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "If the market is located, it is within the territory of the government, so the palm seal government is higher, or this The person who controls the market has a higher official position? The Great Chu Dynasty has been established for many years, and it must be considered, I am just speculating..."

"In this way, it is very likely that this person came from the market. After hearing the news that Chi Yanzhi was in the Zhao family, he followed him and wanted to snatch it, but he did not expect that he had already given it to King Jing?"

"About that."

Zhuang Ming said: "How about the details, let's go find out."

——

afternoon.

Lu He and Yue Ting, who went out to investigate, came back here.

"how?"

"I haven't found much, but there are survivors. The man who broke into Zhao's house early this morning was as thin as a stick, but he was eight feet tall, like a mummified corpse."

Yue Ting said: "However, when the Zhao family got into trouble with King Jing, there was an old man in the family. The whole Zhao family was extremely respectful. He came back today and has already gone to the Seventh Mansion."

"That should be the real person behind the Zhao family."

"It should be." Zhuang Ming nodded slightly, and said again: "I thought about going to the government to find out the news, but now it seems that there is no need."

"Master, do you want to go to the market?" Lu He immediately understood.

"I've always been curious about that market. Of course, I'm not sure. It must be a market." Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "However, no matter whether it is a market or not, it exists in the boundaries of the three prefectures, but it has never been classified as a market." It is also worth visiting the Anxian domain of the three prefectures to see what business opportunities there are."

"My lord is going to the market, can the two of us go there?" Lu He asked:

"No, you have to stay, stabilize the situation and lay the foundation for me."

Zhuang Ming shook his head slightly, reached into his bosom, and took out a lot of paper, which was filled with words.

"This is me and Mr. Fu's various plans for this place's business. I was supposed to handle it myself, but now the situation here is more relaxed than I expected. It's not as critical. It's not difficult to lay down the foundation , with the abilities of the two of you, it is enough to settle down."

"Lu He, you have great courage and vision, and you can act on my behalf. Yue Ting is familiar with this, and has contacts with the local personnel left behind. Let him help you."

"How can I do it?" Lu He hurriedly responded.

"Your skills have always been good, not only in military strength, but also in all kinds of abilities. Didn't it be difficult for you to move forward in the Great Chu Dynasty without the contacts of the Dongsheng Dynasty?" Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "In the future, we will expand in all directions. , Every time you go to a new place and open up a new business, you need to face such a situation, you will be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, and you have to hone your skills."

"Young master..." Lu He still hesitated.

"Where is the danger if the Dragon King is with you?" Zhuang Ming paused, and said: "If the brother who was killed by mistake still has family members, he will live for more than a month, and the wind will pass, and he will give him a stroke of beard in secret." Forget it...although he died unjustly and suffered an indiscriminate disaster, he did things for us after all."

"Yes, I will handle this matter myself." Lu He saluted, "Master, you must take care."

"No problem." Zhuang Ming waved his hand.

"Do you want to send a few servants to help you on the road?" Yue Ting approached with a considerate look.

"No need, do you still think I'm the same as before, with inconvenient legs and feet?" Zhuang Ming gave him a sideways look.

"..." Yue Ting always felt that this flattery seemed to be patted on the horse's leg.

——

From here to Anxianyu, it is more than two thousand miles away.

Zhuang Ming was about to drive the dragon, and rushed to the free zone before sunset.

But after thinking about it, he finally gave up and left in a carriage.

It will take about ten days to go here.

"Now that it is famous, with the eighth mansion of the Eastern Yuan Realm as the center, there may be practitioners gathering from all over the surrounding area, and there may be practitioners in front of it. I'm not in a hurry, so let's walk slowly and take a look. This is the big Chuhe Mountain."

Zhuang Ming didn't go here because he wanted to help the old man of the Zhao family chase down the tall and thin real man, it's okay to be slow on the road, besides, the other party has been driving away for a long time, and it's not easy to catch up with him if he really wants to chase him down. superior.

He didn't feel urgent when he went to the market, he felt rather leisurely. The reason why he left today was because he was really curious about the market, and secondly, he was planning to use the situation here as a test for Lu He. It can be regarded as a grind.

On this day, he personally drove the carriage and walked along the official road.

This line, in the blink of an eye, was uneventful, and two days passed.

The territory of Great Chu is vast, and the size of only one prefecture makes it difficult for real people of Jindan level to manage.

Even if it is just one place, it is comparable to the Huai'an mansion of the Dongsheng Dynasty.

But although the territory is vast, there are quite a few cities, and there are many small towns or rural villages around the city. Passing through the official road, it can be seen that there are many towns and villages, and they go continuously until the next city.

As a result, there are many people, but there are few bandits blocking the way.

But less is less, but it is not nothing.

Some people feel that they have no other way out, so they become bandits.

Some people even just think that by blocking the road and killing people, the money comes in faster, saving them from working hard every day to earn wages.

And some people just kill for pleasure.

There are also some people who only have a temporary idea, or are malicious because of money, or have seen a beautiful woman among the travelers, and they have evil thoughts in their hearts.

It would be fine if they were just ordinary people, and the harm would not be too great, but in the Great Chu Dynasty, there were people who practiced martial arts, and these people may not be upright people... For example, those who won the crown of King Jing That group of rogues is doing harm to all directions.

"The official road during the past two days has been quite crowded along the way, but there may be bandits hidden in the barren mountains ahead."

Zhuang Ming didn't have the slightest liking for the thieves who blocked the road, and he was no stranger to them.

Because his firm, whether in the Dongsheng Dynasty or the Great Chu Dynasty, had been robbed of its goods.

Of course, since he started his business, anyone who robbed his goods basically had no good end.

——

In a small town along the way, Zhuang Ming rested for half a day, found a restaurant, bought some good food, and prepared some dry food before starting on the road again.

However, when he retrieved the carriage and was about to leave.

But I saw a few young guys from restaurants who were quite concerned about his carriage.

If Zhuang Ming had eaten slower, perhaps this carriage would not be there.

Outsiders, even if they report to the official, often nothing happens.

"They are all ordinary people. Being a waiter in a restaurant is considered hardworking and practical. But if they are greedy, they are thieves."

Zhuang Ming looked as usual, got into the carriage, drove the horse, and left the small town slowly.

If the guess is correct, those fellows are probably going to be robbed halfway.

However, about an incense stick after leaving the town, there was still no movement.

This surprised Zhuang Ming a little.

But after another stick of incense, Zhuang Ming was not surprised.

Because someone is catching up.

"This friend, you still have to be cautious when you go out."

Suddenly, there was a voice coming from Zhuang Ming's left.

Zhuang Ming had already sensed that he even heard the sound of horseshoes, with a slight smile on his lips, he tilted his head to look.

A horse, catching up from behind, slowed down and kept pace with the horse pulling the cart.

The person on the horse is about in his early forties, middle-aged and energetic.

"What advice do you have?" Zhuang Ming tilted his head and said with a smile.
