As Wu Liang spoke, Zhao Shixun's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and at the end of the sentence, his old faces even pinched together.
Seeing that Wu Liang's face gradually calmed down and his tone became more indifferent, Zhao Shixun was sweating profusely. No matter what, he had offended Tianzun today.
If Tianzun can be provided with the Purifying Vein Grass he needs, there is still a chance of recovery, but if not, it will be extremely difficult to establish a relationship with Wu Liang again in the future.
In his mind, he kept thinking about the medicinal materials stored in his family's treasure house, and whether there was the Pure Vein Grass that Wu Liang mentioned in the Zhao family's exclusive medicinal garden. However, even if he tried hard, Zhao Shixun could not find the medicinal materials that matched what Wu Liang said.
.
In the end, Zhao Shixun still said with a dejected face: "Tianzun, the Zhao family does not have the purifying grass that Tianzun mentioned."
Wu Liang nodded calmly. He had been prepared for it and was not too disappointed.
Seeing the worried look on Zhao Shixun's face, Wu Liang said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't anger the Zhao family because of this. Let's put this matter to rest today!"
After saying that, Wu Liang took Liu Er who was looking disappointed and was about to leave. Seeing Liu Er depressed, Wu Liang couldn't help but chuckled and said: "Forget it, you girl can still think about this and do your best. There is no need."
Not happy."
"Brother-in-law..."
Liu'er responded dully, feeling sorry for herself. This was a gift she planned to give to her brother-in-law, but she didn't expect it to be in vain in the end. She also showed her unladylike side to her brother-in-law. She suffered a big loss today.
Thinking that if it weren't for the Zhao family themselves, Liu'er would not be so embarrassed today, Liu'er glared at Zhao Linlin angrily, she is such a stinky girl!
Not to be outdone, Zhao Linlin saw Liu'er glaring over and quickly opened her eyes and stared back.
Seeing that Liu'er had already turned around and was about to leave, Zhao Linlin showed some hesitation on her face, gritted her teeth and suddenly said: "I know where to find the Pure Vein Grass!"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Liang stopped immediately, turned his head, and glanced at Zhao Shixun with sharp eyes.
Zhao Shixun's heart trembled. He had never regretted so much in his life. Why did he bring his granddaughter to Longxi? This was simply adding trouble, no, it was life-threatening!
Not daring to let Wu Liang speak, Zhao Shixun quickly scolded: "Linlin, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhao Linlin looked stubborn and didn't look at Zhao Shixun at all. She stared at Wu Liang and said again: "I know where to find the Purifying Vein Grass!"
"What do you want?" Wu Liang asked lightly, his face and eyes were calm, showing no signs of anything unusual.
"I don't want anything! But you have to promise me one thing!"
Wu Liang didn't speak, and his eyes fell on Zhao Shixun again. Zhao Shixun really wanted to die at this moment. He glared at Zhao Linlin and shouted: "Zhao Linlin, if you know, tell me quickly. If you don't know, apologize to Tianzun immediately.
Otherwise, don’t blame me for resorting to family violence!”
Zhao Linlin pursed her lips and said nothing, still looking at Wu Liang, her big eyes full of anger and grievance.
Wu Liang was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, but if it is fake, I don't need to say more about the result."
"I know!" Zhao Linlin's tone was even more angry, "I don't know the pure vein grass, but I know there is a place where there are many grasses that look similar to the ones you mentioned, and they are almost as tall as rice ears."
"A lot? And the ears of rice are high?"
Wu Liang raised his brows, and the expectation he had just raised dissipated. Although the Pure Pulse Grass was not a unique treasure, it was not described as having many.
It takes a hundred years to grow an inch, and the Pure Vein Grass is an extremely precious treasure to some martial arts families or sects with deep foundations. The Pure Vein Grass is often collected before it can grow for a hundred years. Pure Vein Grass is rarely seen in the world.
grass, not to mention many very tall pure-veined grasses.
With a hint of disappointment in his eyes, Wu Liang said calmly: "Are you sure it's what I said before?"
"Sure... sure..." Zhao Linlin, who originally answered in the affirmative, was swept away by Wu Liang's gaze, and her previous confidence suddenly disappeared without a trace. She said nonchalantly: "It should be about the same. How about we go and take a look now? Anyway,
It won’t take long.”
"I hope so."
Wu Liang said no more. Whether it was true or not, it was still good to try his luck. Maybe he could give himself some surprises.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Linlin kept staring at Wu Liang. Seeing that he was standing still, she couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Let's go, don't you want it?"
"If I know the place, why should you tell me?"
Wu Liang snorted angrily. This girl had such a big nerve. She was born in the Zhao family. Otherwise, who could bear it?
Zhao Linlin looked stern and then said in a low and embarrassed voice: "I forgot, let's leave now."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the house. Wu Liang frowned slightly, "Do you still want to bring something?"
Zhao Linlin looked back at him and said in surprise: "Who is bringing something? The grass you want is right here. How can you get it if you don't go into the house?"
"Right here?"
Not only Wu Liang, but Zhao Shixun also looked confused. After a while, he shouted with a dark face: "Linlin!"
"It's true, why don't you believe it!"
Zhao Linlin felt extremely wronged, and everyone was hurting herself. She was here to begin with, and whether it was the grass Wu Liang wanted or not, she looked pretty much the same anyway.
A strange color flashed in Wu Liang's eyes. Seeing that Zhao Shixun wanted to say more, he waved his hand and walked straight to the Zhao family's house.
The few warriors who were originally blocking the door quickly moved out of the way. It wasn't until Wu Liang entered the house that one of the old men glanced at Zhao Shixun. He waited until the end and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhao, is there really a Pure Vein Grass this time?"
Zhao Shixun sighed and said with a helpless smile: "What's the matter? I've only moved into this house two days ago. Not to mention that I don't even know what this Jingmai grass is. Even if I know, do you think it's our turn to be attentive to the Huang family?
"
The area around the Wu family's residence is owned by the Huang family. If the Zhao family had not been weak in power and had a good relationship with the Huang family, how could they have gotten a house next door to Wu Liang.
And since Tianzun is in urgent need of this Purifying Vein Grass, if the Huang family doesn't notice it right under their noses, they might as well just wipe it on their necks.
"That's right." The old man nodded, and then said with hesitation: "This girl Linlin is..."
I want to blame him, but I think he is an outsider after all, and Zhao Shixun thinks so highly of his precious granddaughter that it would make people unhappy if he said it too deeply.
However, Zhao Linlin's actions almost harmed everyone present today. Not to mention a few other people, even the old man himself must have had troubles in his heart. If the Zhao family was really isolated because of this girl's actions, it would be more than worth the gain.
Thinking of the hundreds of years of friendship between his family and the Zhao family, the old man stopped talking for a moment before admonishing: "Brother Zhao, go back and teach him a few words. If it doesn't work, you should just go back to Jiangnan. If you stay here any longer, I'm afraid you will cause trouble sooner or later.
"
Zhao Shixun was silent for a moment and sighed: "To be honest with you, brother Chen, I plan to go back to Jiangnan after today. Although there is no future for me as a local emperor, the old man was almost scared out of his wits today. If something really harms the Zhao family, then
I have no shame in going down to see the ancestors of the Zhao family."
The two of them were talking, but Zhao Shixun didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly caught up with Wu Liang and hurried to the backyard.
…
Entering the backyard, Zhao Linlin took the lead, passing through several courtyard gates one after another, even climbing over a wall in the middle, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard that looked dilapidated and had not yet been repaired.
"This is it." Zhao Linlin pointed to the almost deserted yard in front of her. If she hadn't been to this place accidentally, I'm afraid no one from the Zhao family would come here for ten or eight years.
Different from the Zhao family's house that was just renovated earlier, the courtyard here should have been left behind earlier, but was later abandoned. In addition, it was too far from the front yard and has been designated as a new house.
Not to mention that the Zhao family had only been here a few days, and even if they planned to settle down, no one would come to this shabby land covered with weeds.
Wu Liang didn't know what others were thinking, but at this moment Wu Liang was really surprised. He looked around and nodded in praise: "Maybe what you said is true. This place has been deserted for nearly a hundred years, and there is a cold spring underground.
If it flows through it, and no one disturbs it, the Pure Vein Grass may actually be able to survive."
"What I said is true!" Zhao Linlin muttered angrily, ignoring the others, and broke into the deserted courtyard that had become a habitat for birds and beasts.
After walking for two or three minutes, Zhao Linlin in front suddenly exclaimed: "No way!"
Hearing this, Wu Liang suddenly felt a bad premonition and rushed over. When he saw the scene in front of him, Wu Liang's face was first shocked, then angry, and finally calm.
Zhao Shixun and others who followed also hurried over. Seeing the grass that had obviously been destroyed recently, their expressions changed.
They don't know if this is the Pure Vein Grass, but no one has come to this yard for a hundred years, and there are only some ruins of buildings left. It is located in a remote place, and even homeless people will not stay here.
They didn't know how Zhao Linlin found this place, but besides Zhao Linlin, a second person came here in a short period of time.
The obvious signs of man-made destruction made everyone's hearts sink. Who exactly was it, who was toying with everyone's applause again and again.
First, Wu Liang came to Zhao's house after releasing the news about the Pure Vein Grass, and then he lured Wu Liang to come to the courtyard, and finally destroyed the grass that might be the Pure Vein Grass. Who is in charge of this secretly?
If they thought it was a coincidence before, no one would think so now. This was premeditated, even a conspiracy. Who is so bold as to dare to provoke Wu Liang at this time?
And this person seems to know too much. Even most people in the Wu family don't know that Wu Liang is looking for the Pure Vein Grass. Only Wu Liang accidentally said casually, who said this news?
.
Also, why did that person know that the Zhao family has Pure Vein Grass? Even Zhao Shixun would not have known that there was such a place behind his new courtyard if it hadn't been today, and that his granddaughter would have accidentally broken in, and
It was just by chance that I discovered traces of the Pure Vein Grass.
What confuses everyone in the end is what is the purpose of this secret black hand? It is said that it wants to frame the Zhao family, but it obviously doesn't look like it.
If that person really has a grudge against the Zhao family, then if he offers the Pure Pulse Grass, he must be able to exchange favors with Tian Zun.
Since he doesn't have a grudge against the Zhao family, he has a grudge against the Wu family. Since he has a grudge against the Wu family, does that person think that this can disgust Wu Liang? That's too naive.
No matter what others thought, when she saw the messy grass that had been destroyed, Zhao Linlin was shocked and angry, and screamed anxiously: "I was fine when I came here the day before yesterday, why did it become like this today?
!”
Wu Liang waved his hand to interrupt the girl's anger and embarrassment, and said calmly: "It has nothing to do with you. Besides, this is not a pure vein grass. Some people are blind and ignorant and are willing to weed it. Who can stop it?"
"This...isn't this the Pure Pulse Grass?" Zhao Linlin looked panicked and hurriedly pointed to the few remaining green grasses on the ground and said: "Isn't this exactly what you said, and it's also very cold here. I heard people said that this place used to be
It’s a haunted house, doesn’t it count as a cold place?”
"Haunted house, no one has been here for a long time, who did you listen to?"
Wu Liang no longer cared about the Purifying Vein Grass, but suddenly frowned and asked, I'm afraid even the Huang family here doesn't know, who would tell Zhao Linlin this.
Zhao Linlin was not a fool. Even if she had not noticed before, she felt something was wrong at this moment. She scratched her head and said, "It seems... it seems..."
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Linlin finally shook her head and pursed her lips and said, "I don't remember. I heard someone say something like this in my ear just two days ago, saying that there is a haunted house behind our Zhao family's new house, and many people died in the past.
, I came here once out of curiosity, walked around for a while and went back when I felt there was nothing interesting.”
At this moment, Liu'er suddenly said: "Brother-in-law, it seems that I am the same. I don't remember who told me two days ago that the Zhao family had Jingmai grass but they didn't give it to us. They also said that my brother-in-law went out this time to look for this Jingmai grass everywhere.
Pulse grass, if my brother-in-law goes to the Zhao family in person to trade with them, they will definitely be willing."
Wu Liang touched his chin, squinted his eyes and smiled softly: "Interesting, someone is here to create a maze. Are you planning to let me watch a show of weeding?"
"Tianzun, something seems to be wrong. No matter who is behind it, why don't we talk about it after we go back?"
Zhao Shixun was afraid that something would go wrong. Seeing that Wu Liang was no longer angry with the Zhao family, he quickly urged Wu Liang to leave. He was not worried about Wu Liang. With Tianzun's strength, who could plot against him.
But I and others are not as good as Tianzun. If someone really planned this, then the fire at the city gate would affect the fish in the pond, and Tianzun would have killed them all. It would be unjust.
"Go back?" Wu Liang chuckled and said calmly: "Master Zhao, someone invited us to come to the show. If we go back now, wouldn't we be betraying their good intentions?"
After saying that, Wu Liang raised his head and said jokingly: "Friend, do you think so?"
As soon as Wu Liang said this, everyone was shocked. Zhao Shixun quickly pulled Zhao Linlin behind him. Others gathered in a circle and looked at the empty sky warily.
There was silence for a while, but no one thought that Wu Liang would feel wrong, let alone that it was necessary for Wu Liang to deceive them.
Although today's ending was a coincidence, how could they all end up in this desolate ghost place if there was no one to guide them. (To be continued.)
