Chapter 574: The moon is dark and the wind is high
In the courtyard of the main house of the Zhong family, the head of the Zhong family looked at his wife with a gentle face, and took a rare leisurely time to help his wife take care of her black hair. His wife's long black hair was the most popular with him. It was as smooth and smooth as a horse.
Waiting for silk and satin is even better than the deceased lady.
"I heard from my servant that in the garden at noon, Chuo'er gave you a hard time again." Zhong Tao stopped and looked down at Qiushui Yiren.
Qiushui Yiren smiled softly, shook her head and said, "The eldest lady is young and has an unstable temper. It doesn't matter if she is a little wronged. The master of the house must not listen to the nonsense of the servants below and ruin the relationship between father and daughter."
Zhong Tao's smile became gentler. He liked Yiren's temperament, which was meek and gentle, even more so than the deceased lady, so he got her right at first sight.
"You have been wronged." Zhong Tao caressed Qiushui Yiren's long hair and said softly, "I will talk about it later. This child has become more and more outrageous in recent times."
"The head of the family, Elder Zhong Cheng wants to see you."
"I'll be back as soon as I go." Zhong Tao let go of her long hair, Qiu Shui Yiren nodded to him meekly, and then watched him walk out quickly, her eyes flashing slightly.
"Master!" Zhong Cheng rushed forward as soon as he entered the door, holding Zhong Tao's thigh and crying.
Seeing his exaggerated appearance, Zhong Tao immediately felt displeased and shouted angrily, "Stand and talk properly."
Zhong Cheng stood his ground honestly, lowered his head, and said with a blushing face full of shame, "My subordinates disobeyed the master's instructions, but in the end they were unable to turn the tide. The first place in the potion group of the talent competition was defeated by Qin from the Maple Leaf Team of the Yun Clan.
It's incredible."
Zhong Tao's brows twitched slightly, he waved his hand irritably and said, "I can't blame you entirely for this matter. After all, the opponent's strength is there, and it's useless even if you make things difficult for him."
In the face of strength, all clown-like obstructions are in vain.
"Thank you for your family shirt." Zhong Cheng raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes with tears streaming down his face, "But head of the family, if this continues, our family will not be able to save Lan Shiyu. My subordinates heard that as soon as Qin left the venue today,
Ni Tian had a conflict with several people from the Qin Clan Elders Association, and also implicated many people nearby. It is said that Qin Ni Tian's sword skills were superb and obvious to all, and scared away many people on the spot. Now some people look back and call that sword
The power is irresistible. I guess her strength is not low at all!"
"Coupled with her status as a Guiyuan-level alchemist, this weapon refining project seems to be a definite advantage. Head of the family, if we don't deal with her, it will be too late." Zhong Cheng's eyes flashed and he approached Zhong Tao.
He raised his right hand and made a "cut the neck" gesture.
Zhong Tao sat there with a gloomy look on his face, and after a while he said, "You think I haven't thought of this method? But not only are there many masters around her, but there is also the high priest of the Divine Hall of Fantasy. She sent people,
It’s all in vain, and you’re going to die.”
Zhong Cheng hurriedly said, "Then we can't just do nothing and watch Qin Nitian snatch the blue stone fish from our hands! Head of the family, we don't have time to think about it anymore, we have to give it a try no matter what."
Zhong Tao grimaced, pondered for a long time, and then nodded solemnly and said, "You are right. If you give it a try, you still have a 30% chance. If you don't give it a try, you won't even have a 50% chance."
Zhong Cheng nodded hurriedly, "I don't know who the master plans to send."
Zhong Tao sighed, took out a warrant and threw it to Zhong Cheng, "Go and call the twelve guards of the Golden Palace. I have twelve pills here. After swallowing them, they can gain strength in just one hour.
Big increase. Beware of long nights and many dreams, we will take action tonight."
"Yes, Master." Zhong Cheng left happily, but Zhong Tao still sat in the hall with a frown. Behind the door, the dress disappeared in a flash. Qiushui Yiren returned to the room, picked up a jade comb and gently
She combed her hair, and her brows were light.
The night was endless, the wind was blowing, and twelve figures quickly disappeared into the air.
Zhong Tao, who had arranged everything and returned to the room, helped Qiushui Yiren to rest, trying his best to get rid of the faint worry in his heart.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, he was awakened by the ups and downs of noise in the garden.
Zhong Tao stood up angrily, and there was a banging sound on the door, "Master, Master, Master!!"
Qiushui Yiren also stood up and stroked her belly, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, you rest first, I'll go out and take a look." Logically speaking, tomorrow is their wedding day, and Zhong Tao shouldn't stay in this house overnight, but the head of the Zhong family has always been able to control everything.
Zhong's attitude is not that particular at all.
He lifted up the quilt and got out of bed, opened the door, and shouted in a low voice, "Why are you so anxious? What happened outside?"
"Master." He saw a ball rolling in. He was sweating profusely and rolled forward and grabbed Zhong Tao's trousers, crying uncontrollably, "The master of the family is in trouble!"
"You bastard!" Zhong Tao was disturbed from his sweet dream. He was already angry. But when he saw the guy in front of him coming up and howling like a ghost, he became even more angry. His temples were pounding. He stepped up and kicked the guy to the ground.
, said angrily, "If you have anything to say."
Zhong Tao is naturally familiar with this fat steward. He is the steward who manages the inner garden treasure house. Thinking of him barging in tonight to ask for an audience, Zhong Tao's heart suddenly trembles.
"Master, Master! The treasure house of Qinghuayuan was invaded by thieves, and all the property in the treasure house was swept away overnight. It is simply a loss of conscience, madness, and moral depravity!!" The fat steward shouted to the end, his voice
It was all broken, and the desolate trembling sound fell into the ears of the Zhong Family Master, which was particularly piercing.
The head of the Zhong family kicked the fat steward a few meters away, "You bastard, you can't even speak clearly! What do you mean all the property was swept away? How could such a huge treasure house be wiped out in one night?"
Evacuate them all?”
Not to mention that the head of the Zhong family didn't believe it, even the elders who appeared in the treasure house were dumbfounded and didn't believe it. The elders were standing in the empty treasure house at the moment, looking around. Everything in their eyes was clean and refreshing, not even a small gold, pearl, or silver.
All the thorns were gone! Following this blank scene, the hearts of the elders gradually sank to the bottom.
The fat steward didn't dare to have sore feet at this time. He rushed forward with runny nose and tears. He hugged the master of the Zhong family and howled in mourning. "I swear that every word is true and not false. If there is any lie,
The subordinates will not die if the sky is struck by lightning! It’s true, Master, why don’t you go and take a look! The treasure house of Qinghua Garden was really moved without even leaving a single copper coin!!”
"Lead the way!" Zhong Tao was so angry that he flew into a rage. He didn't want to talk nonsense with the manager, so he hurriedly put on a coat, put on his shoes and ran out the door.
