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 for me to be wild, 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 cheer you up. Is it wrong?"
Huangfu Qi is the head of the most powerful family among the three major families. In recent years, he has become very popular because of his relationship with a major family in a first-class city, so he feels particularly confident when 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 at it and nodded: "This small courtyard is quite artistic, and it is very consistent with Brother Zhao's mood at this time. No wonder Brother Zhao is at ease here and enjoys it quite a lot.
But I’m afraid Brother Zhao won’t be able to enjoy such a good life for a few more days.”
"Brother Huangfu, what do you mean?"
Zhao Zhengyi frowned and asked in a deep voice.
Huangfu Qi 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 cupped 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 your purpose?"
Zhao Zhengyi was not angry. He knew Huangfu Qi's temper best. His mouth was naturally poisonous. If you argued with him, you wouldn't be able to quarrel with him. He would also make yourself mad for no reason, which would outweigh the gain.
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 Tomb without permission?"
After Zhao Zhengyi heard this, his eyes widened immediately.
"Brother Zhao, what you said is wrong. If you and I have reached an agreement, it won't be considered trespassing.
Isn't Brother Zhao interested in that ancient tomb?"
Huangfu laughed twice strangely.
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. 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 that.
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 wondered.
"What did you say?
Infinite treasure book?"
After Zhao Zhengyi heard this, his expression changed slightly, which showed that this immeasurable book was a rare and valuable treasure.
"Is the information accurate?"
"Of course, otherwise who would want to take risks in such a dangerous place? I haven't lived enough yet."
Huangfu wondered.
Zhao Zhengyi thought 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 is wrong.
Although the three major families in Kuixing City are powerful, 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 wondered.
"But if a quarrel arises 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 we don't make a fuss about this matter, it's just like everyone entering the ancient tomb together.
After so many years of consumption, I think the resources of each family have been almost exhausted, and they need to search the ancient tombs and add some more.
I'm just giving everyone an excuse."
Huangfu wondered.
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 he 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 your decision will not disappoint me.
Also, let me tell you, even if you don’t go, I will go 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 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 quickly.
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?
