Zhao Zi came out of Baiyun Tower and chatted in Chongming City.
The streets were full of people, traffic, and hustle and bustle, which made him experience a different kind of prosperity.
The Divine Capital is also extremely prosperous, but unlike here, it is a little less noisy and not lively enough.
As he gets older, he prefers to be lively and does not want to stay alone in the house, as if he is the only one left in the world, alone.
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years have passed, and most of my friends have passed away. I can count the number of old friends who are still alive. As a worshiper in the forbidden palace, I have no choice but to meet with my old friends at will.
Stroll along the bustling streets and let the noisy atmosphere wash away your loneliness.
"Grandpa, grandpa!" A little girl ran up to him. She was only as high as his waist, thin and small, with a red flower in her hair. She said with a smile: "Grandpa, there is a big brother who asked me to give you a
Letter."
She tried her best to lift her little hand up, holding a letter in her hand.
"Haha, little girl, which big brother are you?" Zhao Zilai squatted down with a smile. The master of Tianwaitian has an intuition for danger and is not afraid of plotting.
The little girl said: "Big brother said his surname was Lu, and grandpa knew it as soon as he heard it."
"My surname is Lu..." Zhao Zilai took the letter and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you very much, little girl."
He took out a piece of silver from his pocket and gave it to the little girl.
"Thank you, grandpa!" The little girl took the money, ran away happily, and disappeared into the crowd.
Zhao Zilai opened the letter, took out the letterhead and read a few words inside, frowned and thought about it, and looked carefully at the pattern in the lower left corner of the letterhead.
This is a unique pattern of an old friend. Only she uses it and no one else knows about it.
The expression on his face was complicated and changed several times. He suddenly smiled and rubbed his hands together. The letter and envelope turned into powder at the same time and floated from his fingers.
He clapped his hands, rubbed his hands to clean off the powder, and walked down the street again with his hands behind his hands.

Chu Li is practicing the Vajra Du E Magic Skill. After practicing the White Tiger Alchemy Yang Diagram, he will practice the Vajra Du E Magic Skill again. He is progressing very quickly. At the fifth level of bone training, the bones are getting harder and denser.
The cool breath circulates between the bones. The strength becomes stronger and stronger. When the sword is thrust out, there will be a whistling sound, which is extremely fast. With the help of internal force, the speed is even faster than lightning.
As his strength increased, the speed of the flying knives became faster and faster. Chu Li felt that if he continued to work hard like this, after reaching the fifth level, his strength was so strong that even the masters of Tianwaitian couldn't dodge the flying knives.
There was a knock on the door outside the small courtyard. Xue Ling opened the door, and with a salute, Xiao Qi and Suru were invited in.
Xiao Qi was wearing a snow-white blouse, while Suru was still wearing an apricot yellow blouse.
The two came to the small pavilion and sat in front of Chu Li.
Chu Li cupped his fists and saluted: "Is the eldest son back?"
"Hmm." Xiao Qi frowned and said, "Zhao Zilai is indeed untrustworthy. Big brother won't use him."
"Then what are you going to do, eldest son?" Chu Li said, "Go and ask the queen again?"
Xiao Qi said lightly: "Brother, why did you tell the queen? Could it be that there is something wrong with Zhao Zilai and you don't want to use him?"
Chu Li said: "Are you looking for masters elsewhere?"
The eldest son doesn't trust himself no matter what, and would rather find experts from outside.
He understood the Eldest Young Master's thoughts. He was still in the innate realm. After all, there was a big gap between innate and heavenly realms. When the second young lady's life was involved, he couldn't help but take the risk of believing in himself.
"Brother's intention is to find the thunder knife." Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li searched in his mind: "Feng Jiuyang? He is indeed the top master of Tianwaitian. Can he be found?"
"Feng Jiuyang is my father's best friend, but he has been living in seclusion for more than ten years. It will probably take a while to find him." Xiao Qi said, "It also depends on luck."
Chu Li frowned.
People who retreat to the mountains and forests often hide themselves deeply. If the hiding is not strict, the grievances from the past will still come to the door, making it impossible to retreat. Once you enter the world, you can't help yourself, so you can't just retreat.
Today's world is different from where he was in his previous life. There are mountains and old forests all over the place. If you hide in them, you won't be able to find them. If you are a top martial arts master, you won't be able to find them anywhere. They are not afraid of wild beasts and can live deep in the mountains and forests and be self-sufficient.
Self-sufficient, completely independent of the outside world, and isolated from the outside world.
"Miss, the Duke..." Chu Li asked cautiously.
If the Duke of Guo took action himself, he would surely be able to solve this problem.
Xiao Qi shook his head and said: "It's useless. No one can find him now. It's harder than finding the thunder knife!"
"Isn't it a retreat?"
"Don't retreat in the house, find a quiet place by yourself." Xiao Qi said lightly: "I didn't tell anyone."
Suru kept winking at him.
Chu Li sighed: "Then we can only find the thunder knife? Are there no other masters?"
"The key is to be trustworthy." Xiao Qi shook her head: "Besides, there are not many people in the world who can compare to Mr. Zhao."
Chu Li said: "That Xi Wu is quite powerful."
"It's even more impossible for him!" Xiao Qi smiled.
Xi Wu has the same status in the Renguo Palace as Zhao Qingshan in the Yiguo Palace. The chief enshrines the master and is the sharpest sword.
Chu Li said: "Xi Wu often runs outside."
Xiao Qi said lightly: "Lu Yurong relies on him to carry out most of his plots, and she doesn't trust others."
Chu Li pondered: "There is probably a more powerful master in Renguo's mansion, so there is no need for Xi Wu to be in charge."
"Huh——?" Xiao Qi frowned.
Chu Li said: "Miss, do you think this is possible?"
Xiao Qi thought for a while and nodded slowly: "It's not impossible!"
"So we have to be more careful." Chu Li said: "Don't follow Lu Yurong's path... If the only option is to draw the thunder knife, Lu Yurong may be able to calculate it."
Xueling offered the white jade tea cup and quietly left.
Chu Li lifted the lid of the cup and took a sip of tea: "Even if Lu Yurong has such a profound calculation, wouldn't she miss this thunder knife?"
Xiao Qi put the white jade cup under the lamp and said slowly: "It doesn't matter, they can't use the thunder knife if they want to."
The Thunder Sword is famous all over the world because of the thunder sword. What he is most afraid of is siege. His sword is fast and his body is fast. Among the current masters, there are only a few who can kill him.
Chu Li shook his head: "I'm not afraid that they will kill the Thunder Sword. If I were Lu Yurong, I would use the Thunder Sword as bait to set up an ambush. Our Duke's Mansion knows that there is an ambush, so we have to break in, right?"
"Do you want to go?" Xiao Qi said lightly.
Chu Li smiled and said: "I can act as a pawn and explore the road ahead."
"Brother is going to go in person this time," Xiao Qi said.
"The eldest son will go in person..." Chu Li frowned, but didn't say much in the end.
It is not unusual for the eldest son to go in person. As a junior, he still asks others to do things. Of course, he must show courtesy and sincerity.
But as the eldest son, as the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Duke's Mansion, how can he take risks at will? If there is really something bad going on, the Duke's Mansion will really be in chaos!
Xiao Qi said: "Be prepared... first let go and find the traces of the thunder knife."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded.
The two women left the small courtyard.
Not long after, Suru returned and said to Chu Li: "The Forbidden Palace has asked you to be a tour guide. We will visit Chongming City tomorrow."
Chu Li was surprised: "I——?"
"He said that he likes young heroes and wants to get close to you." Suru nodded and said with a smile: "Entertain me well tomorrow, don't be rude, let him find out what's wrong with you!"
"...Yes." Chu Li reluctantly agreed. (To be continued.)
