Chapter 102 Zhao Family Affairs…

The singing and dancing in the flower boat are still...

The girls playing music and dancing were even working harder than before.

They were raised by the Zhao family since childhood, and those who can come out to entertain guests are all thoughtful people, and no one is stupid.

Just now, Butler Zheng looked like he was ready to die at any moment. They also knew that the coming person must be an invincible existence, and they were just "objects" raised by the Zhao family. They were afraid that the disaster would be worse...

But then…

The visitor fainted inexplicably...

Judging from the attitudes of Young Master Zhao and Butler Zheng, it was obviously the distinguished guest in the moon-white gown who took action to solve the problem.

Life-saving grace is one thing, but Master Zhao's attitude towards this distinguished guest is another...

If you can be valued by this distinguished guest, wouldn't it be a great blessing just as Young Master Zhao said?

Therefore, each of them no longer hid, and after adjusting their condition, they showed off their unique skills one after another. Some were shy and timid, and some were charming and enchanting, just like a hundred flowers blooming, which was very gratifying.

Zhao Xuanlang hesitated for a long time and then said cautiously: "Senior Xu... I didn't know it was the senior who was neglecting me in front of me. I hope that I will forgive you."

"What senior is not senior..."

Xu Boqing glanced at him and said with a half-smile: "When Brother Zhao invited me to board the flower boat, Xu recognized you as a friend..."

"Uh...hahahaha..."

Zhao Xuanlang seemed to have reacted. After laughing heartily, he lost his restraint and said with a sly smile: "It's true, it's true that Zhao is obsessed with it."

He paused, then raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Brother Xu, I said the wrong thing. I will punish myself with three drinks."

After that, he drank three glasses of wine in succession.

Xu Boqing watched the show, and when he saw this, he raised a glass to accompany the wine, and said casually: "The person who can send three innate martial arts masters to carry out the assassination, I'm afraid his status is not ordinary."

"Three martial arts masters in the innate realm, I probably know who sent the killer..."

Zhao Xuanlang seemed to have thought of something, and sighed and said: "The only person who has such skill and wants to kill me is my direct brother of the Zhao family, Zhao Gulu..."

"oh?"

Xu Boqing made a sound of surprise, with a look of surprise on his face.

With the wealth owned by the Zhao family, it is common for others to covet it, so he preconceptionally thought that it was an enemy chasing him, or a colleague working on it, but now he heard that it sounded like a fight within the big family.

"Brother Zhao is not a direct descendant of the Zhao family of Great Zhou?"

"No, although I am also a member of the "Gong" generation of the Zhao family, my status is just an insignificant side branch within three generations, and I only became successful later..."

"..."

Xu Boqing nodded slightly. People at that time, especially those with certain social status, mostly paid attention to seniority...

Although Zhao Xuanlang is a member of the "Gong" generation of the Zhao family, he does not use the word "Gong" in his name, which shows his identity as a child...

"It's good to be successful, but I'm afraid of being lost to everyone..."

"Hey, it's not necessarily a good thing..."

Zhao Xuanlang shook his head with a wry smile, raised his head and took a sip of wine. With the help of the spicy wine, he explained: "The history of the Zhao family is earlier than that of the Zhou Dynasty. It can stand for many years because of the principle of 'ability first'

ancestral precepts…

It's more complicated to say, but the general meaning is that as long as you are a descendant of the Zhao family within three generations, whether direct or collateral, you can get a job working outside when you reach age.

Based on the quality of the business and the income, the clan elders will evaluate and select candidates who can compete for the head of the Zhao family...

I have seen in the early years that the cause and effect between the Zhao family and the Zhou Dynasty court is too heavy to end well. Maybe it will cause trouble in the future...

So the jobs I chose were all jobs outside of Dazhou.

Being far away from the Zhao family's base camp, I naturally lost a lot of support. At first, I was also the least favored by the clan elders...

But fortunately, I still have some brains, so I’m not too bad at running a business outside...

In recent years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has also started to suppress the Zhao family just as I expected...

With the implementation of some policies of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Zhao family suffered heavy losses, and my words, a person far away from the clan, were also remembered by the clan elders...

It's a coincidence that later on, when the elders gathered together, they discovered that the business I was running was actually the best...

I also naturally entered the candidate list to compete for the head of the family.

And because I had made some suggestions in the early years, and after the clan elders followed them, although the Zhao family's influence in the Great Zhou Dynasty shrank a lot, it was still not a serious problem.

I have more supporters...

And another strong candidate for the head of the family is Zhao Gulu, the direct descendant of the Zhao family...

I caught him halfway, so he naturally regarded me as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, and wished he could get rid of me quickly."

His voice paused and he said with a sigh: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, but I didn't expect that the eldest brother of my clan would have such a method to send three innate realm martial arts masters to kill me..."

"..."

Xu Boqing's eyes moved slightly and said: "Brother Zhao doesn't look very young, but he had such vision and courage in those early years, which is really admirable."

"Brother Xu is laughing."

Zhao Xuanlang seemed to have thought of something. He smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "What's the use of having vision? I had no power at that time. The elders of the Jinyan clan only treated it as a child's joke and didn't take it to heart.

If the events in recent years were not very similar to the direction I predicted, they would not even think of me...

Even now, there are still some clan elders who trust the Zhou court and think that it is just a helpless act by the Zhou court on the surface, but the relationship is still good in private, what should I do?"

"Heh... this man, if he is too old to die, he is a thief. Some things are like that too..."

Xu Boqing smiled and said: "Not all things passed down are good, but everyone is used to their existence. At this time, a courageous person needs to stand up, take the essence and eliminate the dross."

"..."

Zhao Xuanlang was slightly in a trance...

He also understands the truth behind Brother Xu's words, but it is easy to say. How difficult is it to overthrow the thinking, concepts, and systems that have been passed down for hundreds of years by relying on one person?

Seeing that he understood the meaning, Xu Boqing didn't say much.

At this time, a young girl happened to come to pour the wine. The girl held the wine glass and secretly looked at him shyly. She wanted to toast but didn't dare to hold it up, which was particularly endearing...

He smiled and nodded slightly...

When the little girl saw this, her face lit up, she quickly knelt down, and with a blushing face, she picked up the wine glass and brought it to his lips to drink.

Xu Boqing was not polite either. After drinking, he said with a stupefied smile: "The beauty feeds you wine, and your lips and teeth will be fragrant~~"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhao Xuanlang laughed heartily when he saw this, stroking his hands and saying with a smile: "To be honest, Brother Xu, if someone else made such a gesture, I would definitely think that this person's life is dissolute and exaggerated;

But I don’t know why, Brother Xu, your gesture is so natural, there is no sense of disobedience at all, I just feel that Brother Xu is like an immortal in the world of mortals."

"Maybe Xu can enjoy it~"

Xu Boqing responded teasingly and asked casually: "I encountered an assassination today. I wonder what Brother Zhao's plans will be in the future?"

"What are your plans..."

Zhao Xuanlang's heart moved slightly, and he pondered as if thinking...

He was extremely smart when he was young, and after he went out to run the Zhao family's business, he became like a fish in water. He traveled all over the country to collect all kinds of powerful tonic medicines, and he suddenly entered the innate realm of martial arts with money.

Although his martial arts skills are a bit poor, his vision is not bad!

He knows much more than the average person. For example... he knows that there really are immortals in this world!

When he saw Xu Boqing's tricks before, he also felt that Brother Xu in front of him should be an immortal master who plays the human world, but he couldn't ask questions, so he mixed some thoughts into what he just said...

Therefore, he was also thinking secretly in his heart: "I said that Brother Xu was relegated to immortality in the world of mortals. Brother Xu not only did not deny it, but also asked me what my plans were in the future. Could it be that Brother Xu wanted to test me to see if I had any destiny as an immortal?"

?'

'Then how should I answer?'
