Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

"Ding Ding Ding!"

Zhao Xu appeared next to the woman in the bamboo hat in an instant.

The long sword was drawn out, and the sword light flashed. As the sword energy swirled, three faint streams of light were reflected back to a patch of weeds in the distance.

"Ah!" A scream made everyone's heart tremble.

"Be on guard?" Han Dong shouted.

The unexpected incident happened and all the Xuanyuan family guards were shocked!

However, they were all well-trained people and reacted quickly to form a human wall for protection.

"Han Dong, send out people to search everywhere!" The woman in the bamboo hat was quite ladylike. After experiencing a life-and-death moment, she quickly adjusted herself after a brief panic. At this moment, she was able to remain calm and give orders calmly.

"Yes, Miss!" Han Dong quickly took the order and dispatched six guards, two in a group, to spread out and investigate.

The atmosphere by the stream was solemn and silent. Under such circumstances, no one dared to make any unnecessary movements.

Time passed and no other attacks occurred until three groups of guards returned, bringing back only a masked corpse in black, and no further discoveries.

After waiting for a while and seeing no other accidents, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your help just now!" The woman in the bamboo hat took the initiative to thank Zhao Xu.

"Don't worry about it!" Zhao Xu waved his hand and looked up at the sky. It was neither dark nor bright, and had arrived at the boundary between light and darkness.

Then, he shouted to Yu Hanliang who was not far away, "Coach Yu, let's light the fire!"

"Miss?" Han Dong looked at his master.

"Make a fire!" the woman in the bamboo hat replied without hesitation.

Soon, several fires were lit up, illuminating the flat land beside the stream.

After experiencing the sudden incident just now, all the Xuanyuan family guards were extremely alert.

Although they no longer formed a human wall, they also provided cross-guards in all directions to block any possibility of attack.

The fire shone among the guards, as bright as day.

The body of the masked man in black that was carried back was now placed next to the fire.

Zhao Xu pulled off the mask, and a completely unrecognizable face came into view. Under such circumstances, it was obviously difficult to identify this person's identity.

Under the firelight, Zhao Xu's luck was shaken, and three faint needles as thin as cow hair emerged from the corpse.

"Invisible needle!" the woman in the bamboo hat exclaimed.

"Miss, you are very knowledgeable. You even know about this hidden weapon!" Zhao Xu exclaimed.

As thin as an ox hair, fast and fierce, killing people without being seen.

Although it is not as famous as the hidden weapon kings such as the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, it is also a first-class assassination tool in the world.

The most difficult hidden weapon to make is the cow-hair needle, which is impossible for an ordinary killer to obtain.

"Could the young lady be from Guangling?" Han Dong asked instinctively.

"It shouldn't be!" The woman in the bamboo hat directly rejected it. She already had a general idea in her mind. The people who wanted her to die outside were none other than a few people on Huishan Mountain.

At this moment, she didn't want to waste time on this matter, so she told Han Dong: "Let's stop here for now!"

"Yes, Miss!" Han Dong obeyed Xuanyuan Qingfeng's orders unconditionally.

Since the real owner didn't pursue the matter, Zhao Xu naturally stopped paying attention.

After a while.

"Nice to meet you formally. I'm Xuanyuan Qingfeng from the Xuanyuan family!" Xuanyuan Qingfeng's voice sounded a little cold, which was due to his natural character.

"The eldest lady of the Xuanyuan family in Jianzhou?" Although Zhao Xu guessed that the other party might be from a powerful family, he didn't expect it to be Xuanyuan Qingfeng.

"I think no one in Dongyue Road dares to pretend to be a member of the Xuanyuan family!" Xuanyuan Qingfeng spoke with a bit of pride, and then took off the gauze hat covering his head.

She had a heroic face and was dressed in men's clothes. If it weren't for the faint curves under the plain robe, and the silk ribbon wrapped around her forehead, adorned with a large pearl, Zhao Xu would have taken her for a handsome man.

Looking at Xuanyuan Qingfeng from head to toe, Zhao Xu said in a slightly surprised tone, "The Xuanyuan family is very famous in Liyang, and Miss Qingfeng is still acting like this. It shows that she is in big trouble!"

"We did get into some trouble in Guangling Road, but as long as we return to Jianzhou, everything will be fine." Xuanyuan Qingfeng is full of confidence in his family.

"Guangling Dao." Zhao Xu muttered in his heart, and then he thought of something. He looked at Xuanyuan Qingfeng thoughtfully and said softly: "On August 18, there was a high tide in Guangling River. Could it be the King of Guangling?"

"What a keen sense of smell!" Xuanyuan Qingfeng was a little surprised.

……

Zhao Yi, Prince of Guangling, was the second most powerful of the six vassal clans of Liyang. He killed people like crazy, spent money like water, and was lustful like his life.

Unlike his handsome brothers such as Prince Jing'an, Prince Guangling had a complete genetic mutation, was ugly in appearance, and had a bloated and dark body.

Such genes and temperament were also passed on to his descendant, Crown Prince Zhao Biao. The father and son acted tyrannically in Guangling Road and became notorious throughout the world.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Li Yang unified the area and there was no longer any previous national border division.

Many scholars who traveled to study and wandering knights were able to travel freely, and exploring and enjoying the scenery became popular.

The tide on August 18th is the most spectacular in the world.

The Guangling River tide is one of the wonders of Liyang, and Dayanji is the best place to view it.

On that day, Prince Guangling came in person to inspect the Guangling navy.

It was at that time that Xuanyuan Qingfeng was spotted by Zhao Biao, the prince of Guangling.

Although he couldn't take direct action openly due to the reputation of the Xuanyuan family, he had been secretly restraining Xuanyuan Qingfeng's actions.

Do everything you can to make the meal a fait accompli and put this delicious piece of food into your mouth.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng would never let him have his way, so he pretended to be nice to him for a while, and when he got the chance, he secretly left Guangling and fled back to Jianzhou under the escort of his guards.

After a little speculation, Zhao Xu figured out the whole story, which made Xuanyuan Qingfeng look at him with new eyes.

The person in front of me is a man of top talent, great gifts, and good wisdom. He is exactly the best choice for me.

Having made up his mind, Xuanyuan Qingfeng no longer hesitated and directly invited: "Qingfeng would like to invite Mr. Zhao to visit Xuanyuan's home in Huishan!"

"Huh?" Zhao Xu was surprised when he heard that, but when he thought of the Xuanyuan family and Xuanyuan Qingfeng's current situation, he had some guesses in his mind.

Without agreeing or refusing, Zhao Xu gave an ambiguous answer: "I am thinking of visiting Longhu Mountain!"

Xuanyuan Qingfeng was a little surprised, but didn't say anything more.

Many things of the Xuanyuan family have been going on for many years, and everyone in the martial arts world knows about it. A smart person like Zhao Xu will definitely be able to appreciate the other meaning of her invitation.

Although she did not agree directly, there is not much difference between going to Longhu and going to Huishan. She is confident that with the background of the Xuanyuan family, she will be able to attract the other party and keep him!

……

The matter of Huishan can be put aside, but another problem must be faced first. Zhao Xu reminded:

"The people of Guangling will not give up halfway. I'm afraid there will be some trouble along the way!"

Xuanyuan Qingfeng's eyes were firm:

"When an enemy comes, we will fight him; when water comes, we will block it with earth. I hope Mr. Zhao can lend a helping hand."

"Qingfeng will definitely be rewarded!"
