The sunlight penetrated into the wine cellar, revealing everything behind the wooden door. However, Zhao Huan and everyone behind him saw that the most tragic place in the entire house was actually here.
Zhao Huan did not see Zhao Yan and Zhao Cheng. He only saw the corpses piled up at his feet. The corpses were stacked on both sides like mounds of earth. In the middle of the corpses, Zhao Yi squatted on horseback, half-hunched his body, and moved a body.
He held the broken knife that had made several cuts across his chest.
Rivers of blood flowed from his feet, and blood was dripping from his face, body, and knife.
And he is just a child.
Only then did Zhao Huan understand why Zhao Yan couldn't speak out.
To enter or exit, the only way is Zhao Yi.
If Zhao refuses to give in, no one will be able to get through it.
"Zhao...Zhao Yi..." Zhao Huan muttered silently, tears flashing in his eyes.
Only then did Zhao Yi raise his head and look at Zhao Huan.
There was a bloody scar on his face.
"The eldest young master and the third young master are fine..."
After saying this, Zhao Yi could no longer hold on and fell forward.
Zhao Huan quickly hugged Zhao Yi and then saw Zhao Cheng and Zhao Yan behind Zhao Yi.
Everyone was in tears.
"Good boy...good boy..." Zhao Huan touched Zhao Yi's hair and said in a deep voice: "I will definitely kill him for making you become such a person!"
After not knowing how long he had slept, Zhao Yi slowly opened his eyes and saw a familiar room.
He is lying on his bed.
He wanted to get up, but found pain all over his body and his legs were wrapped in something, making him unable to move.
"Zhao Yi, wake up! I'll call the master and young master!"
A girl's voice came to his ears. Zhao looked at the girl and said in surprise: "Chunqin, why are you in my room?"
Chunqin said: "The eldest son and the third son have been taking turns guarding you these past few days. They really can't hold on any longer, so I asked me to take care of you."
Zhao Yi asked: "How long have I slept?"
"Seven days!" Chunqin ran outside and said, "The doctor said you have to lie in bed for a month. Don't move around. I'll call the master!"
After a while, Zhao Huan, his son and others came one after another.
Zhao Yi was not too worried about his situation, but asked Zhao Huan what happened in the palace.
This incident was indeed jointly initiated by Wu Zhijian and Chen Xi, and Shangshu Ling Tu He was not involved.
But Wu Zhijian tricked Chen Xi and did not let the Yulin army and Chen Xi cooperate.
Chen Xi's purpose is to force the palace, but Wu Zhijian's purpose is just to take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of Zhao Huan.
In the end, neither of them succeeded in their goals.
Yuan Zhe also survived this time. Although it was announced that he had accumulated a disease, it was actually caused by taking too much elixir. The imperial doctor explained the truth to the important ministers, so the ministers regarded the matter of establishing a heir as a top priority and pressed him every day.
With Yuan Zhe, the foundation of the country was established.
After settling the scores, Wu Zhijian completely ignored himself, and even took advantage of Yuan Zhe to eradicate Chen Xi and his family.
Although Zhao Huan lost one enemy as a result, Wu Zhijian, who was unscathed, was still a serious concern for him.
But precisely because of the great impact of this incident, Yuan Zhe became wary of Wu Zhijian, and Wu Zhijian also restrained himself a lot. Zhao Huan took the opportunity to start making connections. Not only did he become good friends with Tu He, but he also secretly helped some
Among the civil and military officials in his batch, Er Zhuhua and Li Shou were the most outstanding, and they had a good relationship with Zhao Huan.
"You all go down, Zhao Yi and I will talk for a while."
After Zhao Huan ordered everyone to leave, Yang Taozhi walked to Zhao Yi's bedside and said, "I will never treat you like a little kid again. You are a man."
Zhao Yi grinned and said: "Don't forget our competition."
"We'll talk about it after you've recovered from your injury, but one code is another code. Even after you recover from your injury, you're no match for me." Yang Taozhi gave a rare smile and followed everyone away.
Only Zhao Huan and Zhao Yi were left in the room.
"Taozhi is right, your martial arts skills are not as good as hers." Zhao Huan also said.
Zhao Yi asked: "Is she that powerful?"
Zhao Huan said: "You know the cultivation level of a warrior. Taozhi's current cultivation level is already a top master."
Zhao Yi was stunned and said in surprise: "She is still so young..."
Zhao Huan smiled and said: "Talent is very important in the journey of a warrior. What's more, Taozhi has experienced more tragic battles than you."
Zhao Yiyi: "Then I have to compete with her even more. Only when you know why the strong are strong can you progress faster."
Zhao Huan nodded and said: "Very good, so you have to listen to the doctor and rest honestly."
"I understand." Zhao Yi looked out the window and said, "Don't let Chunqin take care of me in the future. I'm not used to being taken care of."
Zhao Huan held Zhao Yi's hand and said: "I picked up the peach branch. It's a good fate. Because she remembered her surname, I didn't change her surname and only accepted her as my adopted daughter. Zhao Yi,
Our fate is also very rare. You saved the lives of my two sons. You deserve to be their eldest brother. You will be my adopted son from now on."
"No!" Zhao Yi said immediately.
Zhao Huan was very confused and asked: "Why did you refuse so decisively?"
Zhao Daodao: "You helped me get out of my old life and gave me a home. I am already very grateful. If you had said this when I followed you back home, I might have agreed, but now...
…I can’t promise you.”
"What's the reason?"
"Because Zhao Cheng is the eldest son of the Zhao family."
Zhao Yi said seriously: "Although I am lucky to be alive this time and have protected the two young masters, it is not my fault alone. It is the eldest son who chose a good place and reminded me not to leave the wine cellar. I
This will last until you come back."
"The eldest son is smart, brave, and responsible. I can be his brother, but I can't be his eldest brother. It takes away his identity as the eldest son of Zhao."
"Please Commander Long, don't trap me in injustice."
Zhao Huan asked: "Do you really think so?"
Zhao nodded.
Zhao Huan said: "If you don't become my adopted son, then your status in the Zhao family will always be just a personal guard."
Zhao Yi asked: "Are the personal guards considered your family?"
Zhao Huan said: "Of course, your surname is Zhao."
"That's enough." A smile appeared on Zhao Yi's face. Even though the scars on his face had scabbed, his smile was still bright.
"If you need me, I, Zhao Yi, will risk my life to protect you. If the young masters need me, I, Zhao Yi, can also be their bodyguard and protect them with my life. If you treat me as a family member, then I, Zhao Yi, will protect you regardless of my status or not.
They are all their big brothers."
Zhao Huan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Zhao Yi felt Zhao Huan hold his hand tighter.
"No, from now on, you will no longer be called Zhao Yi."
Zhao Yi looked at Zhao Huan doubtfully: "Why?"
"I only changed your last name, now I want to change your name."
Zhao Huan let go of Zhao Yi's hand, stood up and said, "From now on, your name will be Zhao Er."
"Zhao...Zhao Er??" Zhao Yi was stunned.
"Since you are not willing to be my adopted son, then I will remember your great kindness in this way and let my sons remember your great kindness."
"If you risk your life to protect the Zhao family once, I will change your name once."
"You will grow up, and so will the children. I want the four brothers to always remember your kindness!"
