Chapter 8: Zhao Hengchao's Secret

Kaifeng House.

A peaceful morning, as peaceful as any day.

Zhao Hengchao woke up early as usual, but the moment he opened the door, something changed.

Feng Tian stood outside the door and looked at him calmly: "They are back."

Zhao Hengchao didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said, "I knew this day would come."

"We all know." Feng Tian sighed, "A letter came from Chenzhou, saying that Qin Huai had been taken away by them."

Zhao Hengchao still had no expression: "Where are you taking it?"

"Xiangyang." Feng Tian suddenly smiled, "I heard that the old man is unwilling to be lonely and wants to rebel."

Zhao Hengchao finally frowned: "They want to help him." It was a statement tone, not a question tone.

Feng Tian looked at Zhao Hengchao: "You still know them."

Zhao Hengchao looked at Feng Tian: "Have you notified Han Zhang?" There was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, as if in pain and helplessness.

Feng Tian nodded, and said: "I heard that Bai Yutang also had contact with him. I don't know what happened. Anyway, the five rats have been mobilized. Boss Bai also knows about this. He asked you what you plan to do."

Zhao Hengchao showed an expression almost laughing: "What to do, of course, stop them." He looked in the direction of Xiangyang, "Stop the undead."

Feng Tian sighed: "I knew you would say that, when are you leaving?"

"You stay," Zhao Hengchao suddenly put his hand on Feng Tian's shoulder, "Stay in Kaifeng."

Feng Tian looked up at Zhao Hengchao, frowned and said, "What do you mean, you are all on the battlefield together, so let me stay behind, right? Let me tell you, there is no way!"

Zhao Hengchao sighed, "Amei needs someone to take care of her, and Zhishu also needs someone to take care of her."

"You take care of your own wife and children!" Feng Tian shook off Zhao Hengchao's hand.

Looking at Feng Tian, ​​Zhao Hengchao suddenly called out in a low voice: "Brother." For the first time, there was a look of begging in his eyes.

Feng Tian paused, cursed in a low voice for a long time, and said impatiently: "I know, I know!" After speaking, he let out a sharp breath, "I risked my life for being a girl for you, and I can still say that you What? Second brother, be careful yourself, your wife and children are still waiting for you to come home." After speaking, he turned his head and left, because he could not hold back the tears.

Zhao Hengchao looked at Feng Tian's back, heaved a sigh of relief, and turned back to enter the room.

Xiangyang City.

Different from the lifeless Chenzhou City, Xiangyang City is very lively with people coming and going on the streets.The largest building on the street is called Zuixianju, and at noon, the hustle and bustle here can blow off the roof.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang lived here, after they disguised themselves.

However, they didn't expect Zhao Hengchao to come.

The sun had already set, and a golden light poured in from the window.Zhao Hengchao sat at the table and said lightly, "If you want to find it, you will find it."

Zhan Zhao frowned: "Did the lord order you to come?"

Zhao Hengchao shook his head and said with a sudden smile, "I came here because of what happened 20 years ago. I think many people will come because of what happened 20 years ago, not just me." His smile was both bitter and helpless.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows: "Who else will come?"

Zhao Hengchao raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, and said slowly, "For example, your second brother."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, and asked, "He came because of what happened 20 years ago? What does he have to do with what happened 20 years ago?"

Zhao Hengchao suddenly looked at Zhan Zhao: "How much do you know?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head: "Not much, I only know that the Xie family had sixteen loyal subordinates, and they escaped hunting 20 years ago."

Zhao Hengchao nodded: "Actually, that's enough, enough." He suddenly laughed again, completely uncharacteristically, "The extermination of Xie's family 20 years ago, every powerful family in the world participated, Your Zhan family and Bai family are no exception, right?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Zhao Hengchao: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Hengchao shrugged: "It's not interesting, I think the undead must be very happy to see such a scene, the enemies are all gathered together, so that they don't have to go looking for each other."

Zhan Zhao lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Really? They want revenge?"

Zhao Hengchao laughed, and there was an indescribable sarcasm in his smile: "Whoever it is, you have to take revenge, right?"

Bai Yutang couldn't help but said: "Back then, that demon surnamed Xie killed people like hemp, and everyone got to kill him. What reason do they have for revenge?"

Zhao Hengchao raised his head: "What about the lives of the 72 members of the Xie family?"

Bai Yutang said: "Xie Chongshan killed more than this many people?"

"I'm afraid that the undead don't think so, and neither does Xie Yuan." Zhao Hengchao raised his head and drank the tea in his cup, as if he wanted to swallow all the melancholy in his heart.

"Xie Yuan?" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "Isn't Xie's family all dead?"

Zhan Zhao said slowly, "He is the last Xie family member."

Bai Yutang turned his head abruptly: "You know?"

Zhan Zhao's face was ugly: "It's really him?" He asked Zhao Hengchao.

Zhao Hengchao nodded, and sighed again: "It's been 20 years, the little girl from back then has grown up," he smiled wryly, "she is old enough to understand hatred and how to take revenge."

"Little girl? Who are you talking about?" Bai Yutang frowned, "Can you just say it?"

Zhan Zhao also showed surprise on his face, and said in a low voice for a while, "It's Qin Huai."

Bai Yutang was stunned for a while, then said again: "Who are you talking about?"

Zhan Zhao shut up, unwilling to say any more.

"Qin Huai, how did Qin Huai become the last Xie family member of the Xie family? Isn't his surname Qin? Also, what kind of girl? Where did the little girl come from?" Bai Yutang asked many questions in one breath, but there was no answer. The man answered him.

Zhan Zhao looked at Zhao Hengchao: "You knew about it early on, didn't you?"

Zhao Hengchao sighed: "Guess a little."

With a "snap", Bai Yutang slapped the table, his eyes widened: "I'm asking you something! Don't treat Fifth Master as a dead man?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang: "Qin Huai is Xie Yuan, those undead spirits took her away, I'm afraid it's just to let her take revenge with her own hands." He lowered his head, his eyes showed pain.

Bai Yutang let out a sigh of relief: "It's really him, this kid is too good at hiding, he doesn't reveal anything, huh?"

Zhao Hengchao said suddenly: "She forgot."

Bai Yutang sneered: "Forgot? How could you forget?"

"Su Qingfeng," Zhao Hengchao said calmly, "You should ask her."

Zhan Zhao raised his head and looked at Zhao Hengchao: "What does this have to do with Han Zhang and his wife?"

Zhao Hengchao took another sip of tea, and suddenly said: "Have you ever heard that 30 years ago, there was a mighty general under the command of the Generalissimo, known as the King of Hades?"

Bai Yutang nodded first: "I've heard of it." For people of their age, this name is a legend, a role model for every boy in his youth, and a hero in his heart.It is said that he followed the Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses across the battlefield and beat the Liao people and Xixia people to the ground. The barbarians trembled when they heard the name of the living Hades. They didn't even dare to fight, and turned around and ran away.

But Zhao Hengchao said: "The living king of Hades is Xie Chongshan."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned for a moment.

After a long while, Bai Yutang said, "You've made a mistake, the Living Hades cannot be Xie Chongshan." He looked at Zhao Hengchao with puzzlement and suspicion in his eyes.

Zhao Hengchao shook his head: "I'm not mistaken. Xie Chongshan was not called Xie Chongshan at that time, but Xie Qianshi. He had sixteen vanguards, all of whom were brave and good at fighting. When Xie Qianshi was dismissed and returned to the field, he also resigned from his official position and followed Xie Qianshi."

Zhan Zhao was silent for a while, and asked, "After that, why did Xie Chongshan go berserk and kill so many people?"

"I don't know." Zhao Hengchao said, "I advise you not to investigate. Let this matter rot in the ground, which is good for everyone."

Bai Yutang said: "But now it's obvious that it can't rot in the ground. Aren't those people going to take revenge? How can they let it go if they don't find out?"

Zhao Hengchao shook his head and said, "They won't let it go after you find out. Your second brother was in the same robe as Xie Qianshi back then, and he is also very familiar with the sixteen pioneers. You can ask him to see if those people will let it go .”

Bai Yutang said: "Then what should we do? Just watch them take revenge?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "No." His eyes became firmer, "We will stop them."

Zhao Hengchao laughed, "Well done, no wonder Qin Huai likes you, haha." He stood up, "When Han Zhang arrives, you and I will go find Qin Huai together."

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know where they are?"

Zhao Hengchao shook his head and said, "I don't know, your second brother will know."

Bai Yutang thought for a while: "They should be there tonight." He looked up to look out of the window, the night had fallen and the hustle and bustle was silent.

night.

late at night.

Qin Huai sat by the window and looked up at the moon in the sky.After a long time, she let out a low sigh.

The man in black behind him looked at Qin Huai and said in a hoarse voice, "Master, you should rest."

Qin Huai rested his chin on his arm: "I'm not sleepy, you go down first."

The man in black suddenly said: "Master, those are all enemies."

Qin Huaixin suddenly twitched, and her throat ached, "I know." After speaking, she was also surprised, her voice was choked up.

The man in black sighed and stepped back.

The moon outside the window was covered by dark clouds, revealing a faint light.

The author has something to say: I suddenly found out that I didn’t have more than five comments in each chapter. Sigh, poor Qin Huai, no one cares about you if your grandma doesn’t love you or your uncle doesn’t care_

(People say that it is a big taboo to roll around in the text and ask for collections and comments, so I am euphemistic enough to say it ^_^)
