Volume 1: The Storm in the Western Regions Chapter 64: Chaos
Zhao Rang closed his eyes unconsciously and enjoyed it quietly. At this moment, it seemed that the whole world had nothing to do with him. He was able to carve out a corner of his own from this chaotic world and stay alone.
in.
Even if there is only one baked potato in this corner, it is much better than a table of abalone banquets, because Zhao Rang can enjoy it alone without having to share it with anyone, let alone take care of anyone's emotions.
At this moment, he completely returned to his true self. Under the guidance of Ye Sanniang, Zhao Rang lived a simple life mentally.
In such a life, survival is no longer a hard task, but has become a rare pastime.
Because Zhao Rang gave up everything.
Putting down the knife in his hand, there was noise in his ears, confusion in his eyes, and even his own pulse seemed to be absent, so weak that it was almost inaudible.
The more a person can let go, the richer and more relaxed he will be.
Zhao Rang wandered quietly in this river called "Self". He didn't take joy in things or feel sad about himself. He came and went as he pleased. No matter how high the sky was and the clouds were dark, he didn't take another look at the lone wild goose flying south.
He didn't know how long this state lasted, until a voice sounded from the bottom of his heart and said:
"Okay, you've rested long enough!"
Although he was still reluctant to leave, Zhao Rang still managed to open his eyes.
He saw Ye Sanniang already standing in front of him, while Ximen Dazhuang was still holding Shen Liushu.
Seeing Zhao Rang open his eyes, he asked anxiously:
"Brother Rang, are you okay?"
Zhao Rang opened his mouth, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and said easily:
"What's wrong with you?"
Ximen Dazhuang laughed after hearing this.
Although he knew in his heart that Zhao Rang was bragging, the fact that he could still brag meant that he had nothing serious to do!
You must know that sometimes, no matter how hard you talk, it is useless.
Just like that, even a blind man could feel that Zhao Rang must have been extremely weak. Even if he was pecked off the instep of a chicken, he would lose his balance and fall down!
After regaining his composure, Zhao Rang stood up slowly, stretched his arms and legs, pointed at Shen Liushu, and asked Ximen Dazhuang:
"How is this going?"
Ximen Dazhuang's eyes widened, as if he had heard a fantasy, and he said loudly:
"Brother Rang, you still ask me what's going on?"
"Are you really well?"
As he spoke, he strode forward and reached out to touch Zhao Rang's forehead.
Zhao Rang saw the red and yellow lumps on his palm, which were all filled with Shen Liushu's snot, nosebleeds, and tears... He felt nauseated immediately and couldn't help but retched!
"Sister Fairy, look, Brother Rang is not healed yet!"
Ximen Dazhuang's words were somewhat angry.
In his heart, his brother is the best in the world! So what if you are a god who descended to earth, but this is the human world!? There are his brothers in the human world, and he doesn't recognize anyone else.
That is to say, for the sake of Ye Sanniang's help many times, Ximen Dazhuang was still a little polite to her. Otherwise, even if he was incompetent, he would be willing to cut her body off to take her down!
"Brother Rang is disgusted by you!"
Ye Sanniang didn't react at all to Ximen Dazhuang's attitude, but she also felt that his temper really needed to change, otherwise he would suffer a lot in the future. If he met some people who were stubborn and bad-tempered, money would be of no use.
Already.
After thinking for a while, Ye Sanniang waved her sleeves lightly, creating a wave of energy that was neither urgent nor slow.
As soon as this force of energy touched Ximen's strong body, it was like a heavy hammer, hitting him with the force of opening the sky.
At the beginning, Ximen Dazhuang also held his breath, thinking that even if he was defeated and defeated, he would not be too embarrassed. In terms of strength, he had never defeated anyone regardless of his size.
When he was three years old, there was a meal at home that he didn't like. In a fit of anger, he lifted up the entire sandalwood Eight Immortals table and all the forty-nine dishes on it, threw it into the yard, and fell. Thinly chopped.
Over the years, his favorite thing to do in the city is actually not wine and girls, but arm wrestling!
Zhao Rang engaged in a drinking contest, and Ximen Dazhuang engaged in an arm wrestling match. They were once made one of the Eight Scenic Spots in the North by the meddlesome people.
At this time, seeing Ye Sanniang trying to use her strength to deal with him, she was naturally dissatisfied. She immediately threw Shen Liushu in her hand like a ball, stepped on her horse, and used a thousand-jin falling technique to secure herself tightly. nailed to the ground.
Who has ever admired Ye Sanniang? Her energy is like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves!
The difference is that it is exactly the opposite of what Ximen Dazhuang thought.
He himself became a fallen leaf that was swept away!
But before his nearly 300 kilogram body hit the ground, he was lifted up by another force, preventing him from completely falling to the ground.
After this experience, Ximen Dazhuang looked at Ye Sanniang with even more fear. He thought of an angry child, who could only fight against himself and dare not speak out when he was angry.
"Okay, stop making trouble."
Zhao Rang said.
He didn't mind that Ye Sanniang dealt with Ximen Dazhuang, not to mention that he didn't really suffer any loss.
"How did you make...shopkeeper Shen look like this?"
Ximen Dazhuang was holding back his anger. When Zhao Rang asked this question, he immediately said at the top of his voice:
"It's this bastard who's causing trouble! Damn it...this kid is a traitor. If you look at me and bow my head, he's actually the one who's doing the trick!"
Seeing Zhao Rang's brows twisted into a knot, Ximen Dazhuang continued:
"Brother Rang, think about it. From the moment we arrived at this poor place, first a killer came from the yard and stabbed your shoulder. Then the entire Zhong family class was killed in one go!"
"You came here to treat that bitch with good intentions, and then something like this happened again!"
"Tell me, who else could it be if this bastard hadn't harmed others?"
After hearing what he said, Zhao Rang also felt that things were too strange and strange.
Previously, he was solely focused on finding the whereabouts of Yuan Mingkong, but later he saw that the Zhong family class was massacred with blood, so he focused his attention on Mrs. Shen Liushu's abnormality.
If you think too complicatedly, you will lose focus.
Ximen Dazhuang didn't have such a good brain as him, he only knew one way to the darkest. He thought about these things and finally determined the root cause was Shen Liushu.
In Chagan Tologai, no one can compare with Shen Liushu in terms of financial resources, human resources, and connections that extend in all directions.
If these were all deliberately planned by someone, then only Shen Liushu could do it!
This kind of inference is the most logical and clear-cut.
But what Zhao Rang is worried about is, if these are really all done by Shen Liushu, what is his motive?
Everything people do must have purpose and meaning. It is like eating when you are hungry. There is a necessary cause and effect relationship.
The bloodbath of the Zhong family class and the killing of Zhao Rang could not be seen to be of any benefit to Shen Liushu.
Even if he wanted to harm someone, he should have targeted Ximen Dazhuang.
Outsiders don't know it, and they think that Li Tongbao, the big shopkeeper of Tongbao Bank, is the owner of Tongbao Bank. In fact, this person is just a puppet pushed to the stage. He has no real rights at all and only has the title of "big shopkeeper".
Above him, the three major shareholders are the ones who really stick to their word in Tongbao Bank.
However, apart from the Ximen family, even Ximen Dazhuang does not know the identities of the other two major shareholders.
According to his father, starting a family comes first. If Ximen Dazhuang doesn't get married, he won't be able to inherit the family business. So even though he has endless money to spend, he actually doesn't know much about what's going on at home. .
But whether you know it or not, blood is something that can never be cut off. Since Ximen Dazhuang is the only young master of this generation of the Ximen family, is it only a matter of time before he inherits the family business? For a person of his status, Shen Liushu should also make friends with him for the sake of future development, and not have murderous intentions.
unless……
Zhao Rang waved to Ximen Dazhuang, and then walked with him to a quiet place aside. After making sure that no one else could hear what they were saying, he asked:
"Did anything happen at home before you sneaked out?"
Ximen Dazhuang buckled his head and said:
"Yes, I have!"
Zhao Rang quickly asked:
"What's up?"
Ximen Dazhuang said:
"Brother Rang, every time you come to see me, you always go to the corner door in the courtyard. But at the main entrance, there are people queuing up since dawn, one person per person, and I can't count how many things are going on."
Ximen Dazhuang completely missed the point. Zhao Rang licked his dry lips and asked another question:
"The things I'm talking about are those extraordinary things that have never happened before! You know what I mean, think about it!"
Ximen Dazhuang thought seriously.
Zhao Rang didn't rush him, knowing that he was slow-minded.
After a while of burning incense, Ximen Da Zhuang slapped his thigh fiercely and said:
"Brother, don't tell me, it's true!"
"It was probably about four months after you left. I once went out to drink by myself. I drank a little, but I couldn't get up or down. I didn't sleep well all night, and I was still very thirsty, and then..."
"Pick up the important ones and tell them!"
When Zhao Rang saw that he was talking nonsense again, he immediately interrupted.
"oh……"
"Then I woke up very early that day and heard my dad cursing in the study."
"Who are you scolding?"
Ximen Dazhuang said embarrassedly:
"I was still drunk at the time, so I really don't remember...but I have never seen my father lose such a temper. He felt like he was about to eat someone!"
His father Zhao Rang is also very familiar with him.
A rich little old man who smiles at all times. He always has two sentences on his lips, eight words: "Congratulations on getting rich" and "Being harmonious makes you rich".
If such a person is so angry, it will definitely not be a trivial matter.
What's more, over the years, his father has almost stopped managing specific businesses. He will only come forward personally when decisions need to be made on extremely important big deals.
"I can't remember what your father said at all? For example, what keywords were mentioned? Things at home or outside? What kind of business was he talking about? What kind of business?"
Zhao Rang asked a little disappointed.
Ximen Dazhuang patted the top of his head vigorously and said:
"Brother, please wait for me to take my time. I should be able to think of something else! Just now...I drank a lot just now..."
