Chapter 342
Although Le Dian was confused, Zhao Yiliang could be said to be his immediate boss, so he left the private room honestly and did not dare to eavesdrop outside.

Only Zhao Yiliang, Chen Feng, and Zheng He were left in the private room. Zhao Yiliang didn't know the reason for their visit, but only paid attention to them because of their identities: "Mr. Chen, Eunuch Zheng, I don't know why you two came to Xuzhou City ?”

Chen Feng has gained fame in the past six months, but he rarely left the capital.The last time he left the capital, there was such a commotion in the south of the Yangtze River that many people regarded him as the God of Plague.As for Zheng He, let alone, he has a distinguished and special status in the palace, and it is impossible for him to leave the capital without incident.

The elixir of life has a lot to do with it, and there is no need for Chen Feng to keep hiding it from Zheng He, so he talked directly with Zhao Yiliang.

"I came to meet your Zhao family on the emperor's order. I wonder what happened to the things the emperor entrusted to the Zhao family?"

Zhao Yiliang said solemnly: "That thing is personally escorted by the chief bodyguard. Our masters from the Zhao family are all protecting it incognito, so Prince Consort Chen won't have to worry about it."

The words were a bit perfunctory, the emperor entrusted the Zhao family to transport things, and now he sent outsiders to meet them, obviously because he didn't believe in the Zhao family's ability, Zhao Yiliang was naturally unhappy.

"I wonder if Third Master can let me meet the chief escort?" Chen Feng suggested. I don't know why, but I still feel a little uneasy without seeing the head of the Zhao family and the elixir of life.

Zhao Yiliang's tone began to be unfriendly: "Mr. Chen, you made a lot of noise when you came to Jiangnan last year. Now that you are in Xuzhou City, many people have probably heard of it. Your goal is too big and too obvious. Going to meet him will only reveal the position of the chief escort!"

Chen Feng didn't force it. After all, Zhao Yiliang's words still made sense.

"Since that's the case, I won't go to see your Zhao family anymore. Everyone wants to send things to the palace smoothly. If you need anything, just come to me."

Zhao Yiliang had already got up, and before leaving, he said indifferently: "Thank you Madam Chen for your kindness, but the Zhao family doesn't need any help right now!"

After Zhao Yiliang went out, Le Dian did not come back. He was probably dragged in for questioning by the deputy chief escort.

Zheng He knew that Zhao's family was transporting an important item, but he still didn't know what it was transporting.He didn't ask too much, just reminded: "It seems that people from the Zhao family are not willing to cooperate with us."

Chen Feng nodded: "Some of Zhao Yiliang's words are probably the Zhao family's attitude towards you and me. The Zhao family are too confident, so they don't take us seriously at all. Why do I want to be troublesome? ? I hope the Zhao family can go well."

After the two finished eating, Le Dian came in again.

"Mr. Zhao has left already?" Chen Feng asked.

Le Dian responded: "Yes, I don't need the help of the two of you here, please feel free."

This was to be expected. Chen Feng and the others did not leave the inn, but just booked a room to stay.No matter if Le Dian doesn't welcome them, it's impossible to really drive them away.

This night was not peaceful. Just as Chen Feng was about to go to bed and meditate, a figure knocked on the door outside. The knocking was silent, as if he didn't want to attract anyone's attention.

Who else is coming to visit this late at night?
Chen Feng opened the door with curiosity and vigilance. The person outside the door was actually Zhao Lin, but he saw a tired look on his face, with a hint of sadness and anger.

Zhao Lin quickly entered the room and closed the door again.He sat down on the chair unceremoniously, lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking.

"Brother Zhao..." Chen Feng didn't know how to ask.

Zhao Lin suddenly spoke: "Third uncle is dead."

"Three...you mean that Zhao Yiliang is dead?" Chen Feng almost didn't exclaim out loud, the thing was too unexpected.We met each other at dinner, and it was only two hours from now, how could we have died?

Zhao Lin said expressionlessly: "His body is still on the river in the city, we can't come forward, I just asked Le Escort to collect the body."

The main force of the Zhao family is still in the dark, if they come forward to collect the corpse, they will definitely be discovered by the hidden enemies.But Le Dian is on the bright side anyway, so there is no need to have any scruples.

"Then you..." Chen Feng was a little confused, and didn't know what to say.

Zhao Lin continued to narrate dully: "We knew that Le Dian and his party were under attack, and we also found you and Eunuch Zheng coming, so we asked the third uncle to come over to make contact. It seems that all of you are being watched by the enemy. I was discovered by the enemy. I think after the third uncle left the inn, he must have found the enemy following him, so he didn't come to us, but faced the enemy alone, and was killed in the end. I come to see you now, and I can't talk to you anymore. Father and others must gather together, otherwise everyone will be exposed.”

"This..." Chen Feng didn't say a complete sentence from the beginning to the end. He was sad for the Zhao family and understood Zhao Lin's current mood very well.In horror, I don't know what to do next, the enemy in the dark is too powerful.

Zhao Lin was silent for a while, then spoke again: "Now the enemy is focusing on you and Le Dian. Anyone from the Zhao family who comes to you will be targeted by the enemy secretly. I can't go back, my father asked I will deal with the enemy with you, starting from the death of the third uncle, dragging the enemy to Xuzhou City, and my father will rush to the palace as soon as possible."

Chen Feng nodded. Although the Zhao family has many masters, they are far more dangerous than Chen Feng.After all, Chen Feng didn't have any elixir of life on him, and now the Zhao family was about to give up their original plan and rush to the capital as soon as possible, and they didn't know what would happen.

"Brother Zhao, don't be too sad. I will try my best to help you hold off the enemy!"

Not having to sleep that night, Chen Feng called Zheng He next door and told Zheng He the seriousness of the situation while heading to the location where Zhao Yiliang's body was found.

When they came to the river, Zhao Yiliang's body had been salvaged, and the government officials inspected it on the spot. All the bodyguards and troopers from Le Dian and Longwei Escort were teary-eyed.Because it was a big night, there were not many people watching the excitement.

Chen Feng and the others went up to inquire about the situation. Zhao Yiliang's throat was cut with a sword. It seems that the enemy is a master of swords.I don't know if the Ghost Sect has sword masters, but Lu Aoya who has joined the Ghost Sect must have this ability.

How strong the ghost faction is, Chen Feng does not know.But Zhao Yiliang's death must have been a major blow to the Zhao family.

The people from the government searched the whole city overnight, while Chen Feng, Zhao Lin and others disposed of Zhao Yiliang's body.Right now, the Zhao family has heavy responsibilities and their future is unknown, so naturally they don't have the time to hold a funeral.Cremate the body, put the ashes in a box, and take them back to Guangzhou after something has happened.

It was already dawn after all this was done, and Dao Tong, a monk in blood from the Ming Sect, came to visit early in the morning.

The Mingjiao is much more reliable than the government in tracking down the whereabouts of the Ghost Sect.

"Ghost faction has left Xuzhou City!" If it doesn't make sense, it's bad news.

Chen Feng was puzzled: "Are you sure?"

Dao Bu Tong nodded seriously: "There are many people from the Ghost Sect who have sneaked into Xuzhou City. We secretly killed many members, but we have never found the main force of the Ghost Sect. It was not until the third son of the Zhao family was killed that we found that all the members of the Ghost Sect were We began to escape from Xuzhou City overnight. We still haven’t found the location of the main force, but I think they must have retreated."

Chen Feng pondered: "Perhaps it's because the Ghost Sect thinks that they won't gain anything here. After all, they are not fools. After killing such an important person as Mr. Zhao, the Zhao family will definitely be more vigilant and want to find clues on us." It's impossible."

"That's the reason. I'm here to explain the situation, and I'm here to say goodbye. We are also planning to leave Xuzhou City and continue to track down the whereabouts of the Ghost Sect!"

Dao Bu Tong was about to leave, but Chen Feng quickly stopped him: "It's hard for us to gain anything by working separately, so why not join forces?"

The strength of the enemy is difficult to understand, which is indeed a little scary.However, the masters of the Zhao family and the Mingjiao are not vegetarians. It may be better for everyone to unite and go to the capital in an open manner than to be cautious.

Chen Feng did not explain the cause of the matter to Mingjiao at the beginning, not only because Zhu Di had ordered it, but also because the fewer people who knew about the elixir of life, the better.No matter who you are, you will imagine that you can live forever, so it is difficult for an honest gentleman to have bad intentions...
