Zhao Zhengyi drove Lin Shan and others away, and he experienced the life of a farmer.
He found a hoe in the yard, then went straight to the vegetable patch behind the house, plowed the ground, carefully picked up all the weeds, then raked the ground flat and planted vegetables.
After all the work, the clothes on his body were stained with dirt, but he didn't mind. He took off the coat that the master had sewn by himself and cost hundreds of thousands of stars each, and threw it on the ground.
After touching the beads of sweat on his forehead, Zhao Zhengyi felt that his whole body was hydrated.
After planting the vegetables, Zhao Zhengyi returned to the front yard with satisfaction, and then fed the chickens and ducks, picked up eggs and duck eggs, and when he was hungry, he even cooked with his own hands. Although he just cooked a bowl of white porridge, it tasted extremely delicious.
.
"Okay, okay..." After eating all the porridge in the bowl, Zhao Zhengyi praised it with great enjoyment.
However, at this moment, someone outside the green bamboo fence looked eagerly in: "Is Brother Zhao in there?"
Zhao Zhengyi was immediately panicked and wanted to put on his coat. After all, as the head of a family, he had to maintain a good image in front of outsiders. His words and deeds represented the Zhao family.
In particular, Zhao Zhengyi is a meticulous person. He disciplines his family members very strictly and sets an example himself.
It’s a rare day to have some fun, but I don’t want anyone to ruin this casual mood.
After finding the clothes and seeing the dust on them, Zhao Zhengyi was too lazy to put them on again. Fortunately, he walked out like this: "It turns out to be Brother Huangfu, why are you here too?"
"Look at what Brother Zhao said. I'm here to support you. Is it wrong?" Huangfu Qi is the head of the most powerful family among the three major families. In recent years, he has become acquainted with a big man in a first-level city.
The family is very popular, so I feel very confident talking to Zhao Zhengyi.
"Brother Huangfu is always very busy and has no time to eat or sleep. I don't think he is here to support you this time, right?" Zhao Zhengyi was not polite and sneered.
Huangfu Qi laughed, walked into the small courtyard, looked around and nodded: "This small courtyard is quite artistic, and it is very consistent with Brother Zhao's state of mind at this time. No wonder Brother Zhao is at ease here and enjoys it quite a lot. It's just like this
I'm afraid Brother Zhao won't be able to enjoy the good days for a few more days."
"Brother Huangfu, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Zhengyi frowned and asked in a deep voice.
Huangfuqi sniffed his nose deliberately and said, "I seem to smell the aroma of porridge. Don't Brother Zhao treat me to a bowl?"
Zhao Zhengyi took a deep look at Huangfu Qi, and then invited: "Brother Huangfu, please."
"Thank you!" Huangfu Qi arched his hands, walked into the room, and sat down opposite Zhao Zhengyi's previous seat.
Zhao Zhengyi served Huangfu Qi a bowl of white porridge, and then sat down as well.
The tastes of these great people are indeed unique. It is obviously just a bowl of white porridge, but they taste like delicacies from mountains and seas.
After finishing a bowl of white porridge, Huangfu Qi still had some lingering aftertaste. He smashed it in his mouth and praised: "I didn't expect that Brother Zhao's craftsmanship is very good. Even if the family's fortune declines in the future, I will not die of hunger with this craftsmanship."
"Brother Huangfu, why don't you tell me frankly." Zhao Zhengyi was not angry. He knew Huangfuqi's temper best. His mouth was naturally poisonous. If you argue with him, you won't be able to quarrel. He will also make himself angry to death for no reason.
The gain outweighs the loss.
Huangfu Qi chuckled and said: "Everyone talks about how the three major families are, but in my opinion, the other two are just like that. The one I admire the most is Brother Zhao."
"Brother Huangfu, why don't we open the skylight and speak frankly?" Zhao Zhengyi said patiently.
Huangfu Qi shrugged and said, "That's fine. In fact, I came here today just to discuss with Brother Zhao how to develop the Kuinan Ancient Tomb."
"What? You actually want to enter Kuinan Ancient Tomb without permission?" After hearing this, Zhao Zhengyi's eyes widened.
"Brother Zhao is wrong. If you and I have discussed it, it won't be considered trespassing. Isn't Brother Zhao not interested in that ancient tomb?" Huangfu said with a strange smile.
Zhao Zhengyi frowned and said with a solemn expression: "Brother Huangfu, Kuinan Ancient Tomb was a notoriously dangerous place back then. If Taoist Sanbao hadn't sealed it, I don't know how many people would have been buried there. And since then,
, our three major families have unanimously decided that no one is allowed to enter the restricted area of the ancient tomb without permission, and any offender will be killed without mercy."
"Of course I know this. But recently I got news that the world-famous immeasurable treasure book is hidden in the ancient tomb of Kuinan. Isn't Brother Zhao interested?" Huangfu asked curiously.
"What did you say? The Infinite Treasure Book?" Zhao Zhengyi's expression changed slightly after hearing this. It can be seen that this Infinite Treasure Book is a rare and valuable treasure.
"Is the information accurate?"
"Of course, otherwise who would be willing to take risks in such a dangerous place? I haven't lived enough yet." Huangfu said curiously.
Zhao Zhengyi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Brother Huangfu, if you want to enter the ancient tomb, you must obtain the consent of the other two families..."
"Brother Zhao's words are wrong. Although the three major families in Kuixing City are strong, I, Huangfu Qi, am not bad either. As long as you and I join forces, the Long Family and the Tang Family will not dare to do anything to us." Huangfu Qi said.
"But if a commotion breaks out over this matter, it will not be beneficial to any family." Zhao Zhengyi was still a little worried.
After all, this matter was too big and might even endanger the safety of the Zhao family, so he had to think twice before acting.
"If this matter doesn't cause trouble, it's just that everyone goes into the ancient tomb together. And after so many years of consumption, I think each family's resources have been almost exhausted, and they need to go into the ancient tomb to search and add something. I
I'm just giving everyone an excuse." Huangfu said curiously.
I have to admit that although Huangfuqi's words are rough, his reasoning is not rough.
In recent years, the resources of major families have indeed been exhausted, especially high-grade resources, and there are many such resources in the Kuinan Tomb.
However, due to the original agreement and the tomb's sinister reputation, no one dared to suggest entering it.
"Brother Huangfu, this matter is too big. Let me think about it for two days." Zhao Zhengyi is a cautious person and did not agree to Huangfu Qi's request on the spot.
This attitude disappointed Huangfu Qi: "Brother Zhao, I admire your character very much, so I came to you for cooperation, but I hope that your decision will not disappoint me. In addition, I will let you know, even if you don't go,
I will go there myself, but by then, the Infinite Treasure Book will have nothing to do with you."
After Huangfuqi said these words, he turned and left. Not long after, the chief manager Yan Song walked quickly, bowed to Zhao Zhengyi, and asked: "Master, what is Huangfuqi's purpose in coming here?"
"He wants to invite me to the Kuinan Ancient Tomb together." Zhao Zhengyi has nothing to hide from his confidants.
"What? Did the head of the family agree to him?" Yan Song was surprised and asked hurriedly.
Zhao Zhengyi shook his head and said: "I said to think about it for two days."
Yan Song seemed to be relieved, and then said with some indignation: "This Huangfu Qi has been too arrogant in recent years. He thinks that he can do whatever he wants with his back against a big tree. He really doesn't know how to live or die. Is it so easy to enter the Kuinan Ancient Tomb?
