Requiem Valley was filled with mist in the early morning, and bonfires were scattered around the camp to drive away the mist.
In each tent in the camp, each family's horses gathered in front of their own tents and lined up in order, waiting for the order.
Jiang Chao also got up early and stood in the Zhao family's tent.
After yesterday's battle, no one dared to underestimate Jiang Chao.
They saw that Jiang Chao was no longer unbridled, but much more restrained.
But most of them kept a respectful distance. No one dared to approach him for fear of being killed by Jiang Chao.
Of course, Jiang Chao didn't bother to pay attention to them.
He took Jiang Yue and sat in the Zhao family's tent.
Zhao Yi treated him like a distinguished guest, but the other elders of the Zhao family seemed to have some complaints about this.
But Zhao Yi doesn't care. In the Zhao family, he has not fallen to the point of acting based on other people's faces.
An old man with white hair and gray beard bowed his hands and saluted: "Master, the masters of the escort agency were mobilized last night, and you can leave at any time today!"
Zhao Yi nodded with satisfaction and introduced loudly: "Everyone, our Zhao family has the honor to form an alliance with Tang Shaoxia and Miss Jiang today. In response to this major event, Master Mo has made a decision. We can set off after the fog clears this afternoon!"
"I called all the clan elders here today to discuss countermeasures."
An old man with a big beard stood out with a ferocious expression. He looked like a white-haired lion, tall and arrogant.
The old man looked at Zhao Yi: "Master, in such a big battle, what if we find the treasure map?"
The person who spoke was Zhao Jing, the elder of the second Zhao family.
He was nicknamed "White-haired Lion King".
Jiang Chao saw that Zhao Jing's strength was indeed not bad, and he should be a warrior on the same level as Hu Zonglin.
No wonder Zhao Yi dares to challenge the Hu family, he seems to have the confidence!
Zhao Yi bowed to Zhao Jingshen: "Second uncle, seizing treasures in the martial arts world will most likely lead to bloodshed, and the world's most valuable treasures will naturally be taken by whoever has the ability!"
"However, we are not going for the treasure map!"
Everyone was stunned and immediately started talking: "What!"
"Head of the family, think twice at this time. If other families take the lead, the Zhao family's status will not be guaranteed!"
"That's right, Patriarch, don't make random decisions!"
When everyone was discussing, Zhao Jing raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He glared at Zhao Yi: "Zhao Yi, there are so many people from our Zhao family coming out, and if we don't work on the treasure map, why are we going there? Are you free yet?!"
When questioned by Zhao Jing, Zhao Yi was not angry. Jiang Chao saw that they were singing along, and it was obvious that the two of them had discussed it long ago and deliberately made a show for the rest of the Zhao family.
Zhao Yi smiled mysteriously: "My nephew doesn't dare. I can't wait to go on this trip based on the treasure map, because it is still unknown whether the treasure map really exists. I, the Zhao family, must retain their strength!"
After Zhao Yi said that, everyone was silent. Jiang Chao glanced at Jiang Caiping, and she just drank her tea. Apparently she also heard that this was just a play, but it was sung for the Zhao family.
Jiang Chao looked around and felt that they couldn't let them sing one sentence after another. He stood up and clasped his fists: "Uncle Zhao, this junior has something unclear."
Zhao Yi smiled and looked at Jiang Chao: "Young Master Tang, it's okay to say it!"
"Since we are not here for the treasure map, let's be honest about what we are going in for. This junior still has matters to look for. After all, a human life cannot be wasted!"
Zhao Han also echoed: "Yes, yes, since we don't want our family to suffer any loss, why not help us find Miss Gu. We haven't found anyone yet!"
Zhao Yi looked at Zhao Han: "I said it's not for the treasure map, and I don't have time to wander around in the forbidden area of Requiem Valley."
Jiang Chao knew that Zhao Yi was definitely up to something.
Since his purpose is not a treasure map, there must be a special reason.
Jiang Caiping saw that Jiang Chao had gotten up, and she no longer stayed out of the matter: "Master Zhao, can you explain the purpose of our trip? After all, we have other important things. Let's see if we can take care of each other on the way!"
Zhao Yi laughed confidently: "Hahaha, of course! In fact, you are looking for Gu Xiangyun, but I think she is most likely in the forbidden area, and she is also where we want to go."
Zhao Han came forward impatiently: "Dad, you said Miss Gu is in the forbidden area? Where is she?"
"Ice prison!"
As soon as Zhao Yi said this, Zhao Han's face changed drastically: "What? She is in the Ice Prison? What is she doing there? Although there and the forbidden area are both in the valley, they are two completely different places."
Zhao Yi smiled and said: "Exactly, so I want to ask the young hero to help me! If you can send me to the ice prison, the Zhao family will definitely repay the favor with all their strength!"
"!!!"
Jiang Chao was stunned. Gu Yifan said that he was going to the Ice Prison, and he still remembered.
But Jiang Chao doesn't know where the Ice Prison is, so he can't agree casually. If Gu Yifan goes there, it means that the place is special!
If it's a dangerous place, you can't take Jiang Yue in!
Everyone in the Zhao family looked at Jiang Chao. In addition to being surprised, they were also puzzled!
Zhao Jing sneered at Jiang Chao, and then sneered: "Zhao Yi, I think you are letting lard fool you. This kid is not as old as Zhao Han! It is not appropriate to let him take over the affairs of our Zhao family!"
At this moment, another man from the Zhao family stood up: "Yes, what the elders of the two clans said is absolutely true!"
Jiang Chao followed the sound and saw that the man who came out looked very similar to Zhao Yi. He knew they were brothers at a glance.
The man's name is Zhao Lin, and he is Zhao Yi's younger brother.
Zhao Lin came out and deliberately disparaged Zhao Han in front of everyone: "Brother, Zhao Han is causing trouble everywhere, so what can the people he invites do? Isn't it just causing trouble everywhere? The Zhao family has made enemies everywhere in Liu County?"
Zhao Yi narrowed his eyes: "Oh? What does the second brother mean by this?"
Zhao Lin sneered: "Zhao Han is uneducated and has no skills. Who in the Zhao family doesn't know that? Brother, you just pampered him too much, which is why he is so presumptuous. He even brings some unscrupulous people with him."
boom!
Zhao Han didn't wait for Zhao Lin to finish, he slapped his hand on the table: "You said I can, but when it comes to my eldest brother and second uncle, don't blame me for falling out with you!"
Zhao Lin faced many elders of the family: "Everyone, have you seen it? Zhao Han is so disrespectful, how can you listen to him?"
Zhao Yi understood that Zhao Lin was deliberately discrediting Zhao Han and depriving him of his right to speak.
Once everyone doesn't listen to him, it will be a matter of time before the Zhao family's head changes hands.
Zhao Jing laughed: "Hahaha, interesting. Zhao Lin, what do you mean? Let your son help the Zhao family solve problems?"
Zhao Lin nodded: "Yes, it is obvious to everyone that my son Zhao Jin is in the eighth level of strength, and he is only twenty-one years old this year. Doesn't he have to be much better than Zhao Han with such strength?"
The clan elders whispered among themselves, and it seemed that many people agreed with him.
Zhao Yi put his hands behind his back and said seriously: "In that case, it is better to let the elders choose who to assist. The two of them will do two things respectively and let's see their abilities. Second brother, what do you think?"
Zhao Lin looked proud: "Big brother is wise! Then let the little brother come in!"
Zhao Yi did not stop him. After a while, a tall young man walked in from outside the tent.
The young man looked arrogant and walked into the tent carrying a big gun.
"My nephew Zhao Jin has met the head of the family!"
Zhao Jin has always been at odds with Zhao Han. He wants to compete with Zhao Han in everything. And he likes to outdo Zhao Han in everything.
Growing up, Zhao Han had always disliked him.
But there is nothing to be done about it. Zhao Jin has always been highly recognized by the elders in the family, and is completely opposite to Zhao Han.
Zhao Jin looked at Zhao Han with a hint of provocation: "Brother, why are you bullying Miss Feng? After making her cry, she came to me overnight to express her true feelings."
Zhao Han's murderous intent suddenly rose, and Jiang Chao suddenly put his hand on Zhao Han's shoulder to steady Zhao Han.
Then Jiang Chao looked at Zhao Jin: "Uncle Zhao, please allow me to have a question. Can you answer it?"
Zhao Yi responded politely: "My dear nephew, you're welcome. If you have any questions, just ask."
Jiang Chao glanced at Zhao Jin with his peripheral vision: "My Tangjiabao is a hidden sect in the mountains. There is such a rule in the sect. If you molest your brother or sister-in-law, you will be eaten by thousands of ants."
"I wonder, what's the Zhao family's family motto like?"
