Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

When Ding Dian saw that Zhao Xu really knew the location of the treasure, he was surprised and confused.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"Brother Ding, are you still in the mood to care about the treasure? You should focus on Miss Shuanghua."

Seeing that Zhao Xu did not come for the treasure, Ding Dian's attitude towards him became much better.

"Please inform me of Shuanghua's situation. Ding Dian will be very grateful."

Zhao Xu knew that Ding Dian was a passionate man and didn't want to make things difficult for him.

"Brother Ding is in prison. He doesn't know that Ling Tui Si is planning to force Miss Shuang Hua to marry someone else."

Ding Dian was shocked by this sudden news and was stunned for a while. He kept muttering: "How could this happen, how could this happen..."

Seeing Ding Dian like this, Zhao Xu immediately continued:

"Brother Ding knows Miss Shuanghua's character. I'm worried that something might happen to her."

As soon as Ling Shuanghua was mentioned, Ding Dian immediately came back to his senses.

“Yes, yes, yes…”

"Shuanghua is in danger now."

Ding Dian said as he prepared to rush out of the cell, but when he looked at his current situation...

Soon, Ding Dian set his sights on Zhao Xu.

"Tell me! What do you want from me?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile when he saw that Ding Dian finally figured out the key point of today.

"With Brother Ding's intelligence, I believe he has understood my goal."

Ling Shuanghua's situation could change at any time, so Ding Dian no longer delayed.

"Okay, as long as you can solve the problem, help Shuanghua and I retreat to the mountains, and swear not to use the Divine Scripture for evil, I can give it to you."

After hearing Ding Dian's words, Zhao Xu was happy in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.

"I will naturally agree to Brother Ding's request, but I have to go see Miss Ling first and get a token to win Brother Ding's trust."

"Brother Ding, see you tomorrow night."

After saying this, Zhao Xu bowed to Ding Dian, turned around and walked out of the cell.

Shortly after Zhao Xu left, the officer who had just opened the prison door came to Ding Dian's iron prison and closed the door.

Ding Dian watched all this, feeling both astonished at Zhao Xu's magical powers and relieved.

Judging from the current situation, Zhao Xu is a capable and thoughtful person.

After leaving the government prison, Zhao Xu went straight to Ling Mansion.

Ling Tui Si was the prefect of Jingzhou, and his residence was right next to the prefectural government office.

As he got closer to Ling's mansion, Zhao Xu discovered that there were more guards, both overt and covert. All of them had murderous looks on their faces, and it was obvious that they had killed many people.

Soon, Zhao Xu sneaked into the backyard of Ling Mansion.

As soon as he entered Ling Mansion, Zhao Xu immediately held his breath, but he was guarding against a strange poison in Ling Mansion in his memory - Jinbo Xunhua.

The golden Boshun flower originates from India. "Boshun" is the sixth demon king in Buddhism, so it is also known as the devil flower in India.

Smelling this flower briefly can make people dizzy, but it will not threaten their lives.

But if you breathe in its scent for a long time, or touch it with your skin.

It immediately turns into a deadly poison that will kill anyone who is poisoned.

In the original novel, Ding Dian, who had mastered the Divine Zhao Jing, died from this poison.

That's right. To be on the safe side, the first thing Zhao Xu did when he entered Ling Mansion was to hold his breath.

Zhao Xu, who was already in the iron prison, had determined the location of the small building where Ling Shuanghua was imprisoned through the small window.

After entering Ling Mansion, Zhao Xu did not delay and went straight there.

The small building was silent, and the courtyard was filled with various chrysanthemums.

It is November now, the end of autumn, but there are still many chrysanthemums in full bloom.

Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua both love chrysanthemums. In the original historical line, chrysanthemums have always been a part of their emotions.

Looking at this state of house arrest, one can't help but think of Ling Tui Si, the mastermind behind the scenes.

Ling Tui Si is the prefect of Jingzhou on the surface, but secretly he is the leader of the Jingxiang Longsha Gang and is extremely greedy.

In order to obtain the Divine Scripture and the priceless treasure, he murdered Ding Dian, forced him into prison, and imprisoned his own daughter, hoping to force Ding Dian into submission.

In the end, with no other options left, he became mentally distorted and even suffocated his daughter to death in the coffin.

Of course, he didn't end up well in the end.

However, in this world of comprehensive martial arts, Zhao Xu felt that his story was not that simple.

The fact that he was able to serve as the prefect of Jingzhou for so many years cannot be underestimated because of the support behind him.

Zhao Xu didn't want to confront these forces head-on now, so he didn't want to bother with Ling Tui Si for the time being.

Before entering the yard, Zhao Xu had already noticed several people monitoring him.

But for Zhao Xu today, these are not big troubles.

Zhao Xu used his physical skills to quickly circle around these people, and then walked into the small building as if he was in the prison.

Although lanterns were lit in the building, the light was blocked by the gauze curtains everywhere, making the room seem a little dim.

In front of the bronze mirror, a thin, elegant and beautiful woman was holding a hairpin in her hand and slowly moving it towards her face.

Zhao Xu knew at a glance that Ling Shuanghua was going to scratch her face and destroy her appearance in order to resist Ling Tuisi's forced marriage.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but admire Ling Shuanghua's fortitude.

"What a gentle woman with a strong heart!"

Zhao Xu naturally could not allow tragedy to happen.

With a flick of his finger, a strong wind blew and hit the hairpin, which immediately flew out of his hand.

Then, Zhao Xu appeared in front of Ling Shuanghua in a trance.

The sudden change scared Ling Shuanghua, but she soon calmed down.

"Did Dad send you here?"

"It's no use. Tell him that besides Brother Ding, don't even think of me marrying anyone else in the world."

Zhao Xu smiled after listening to Ling Shuanghua's words.

"Ling Tuisi is not qualified to order me around. I'm here for Ding Dian."

"Brother Ding, what do you want to do with Brother Ding?" Seeing that Zhao Xu was not Ling Tui Si's man, Ling Shuanghua was happy at first.

Then she heard that they were looking for Ding Dian, and Ling Shuanghua immediately became alert.

Zhao Xu didn't expect Ling Shuanghua to be so sensitive to Ding Dian.

"I made a deal with Ding Dian to help you escape and live in seclusion in the mountains. Now I'm looking for you to get a token to gain his trust."

Zhao Xu told him the truth, but Ling Shuanghua was still in a state of half-belief.

“Miss Shuanghua, you don’t believe me now, but you can give me a token of yours. When I rescue Ding Dian tomorrow night, he will come to pick you up.”

Although Ling Shuanghua was a little worried, her longing for Ding Dian still prevailed. She took out a crystal green jade bracelet and handed it to Zhao Xu.

After receiving the token, Zhao Xu did not plan to stay any longer.

Looking at the hairpin that fell on the ground, he said slowly: "Miss Shuanghua, after tomorrow, your and Ding Dian's hard days will be over, so don't do anything stupid again!"

Ling Shuanghua knew what Zhao Xu meant and nodded.

After giving Ling Shuanghua some advice, Zhao Xu turned around and quickly left the Ling Mansion.

The next day, at the hour of Hai.

Just like last night, Zhao Xu swaggered into Ding Dian's iron prison.

When Ding Dian saw Zhao Xu, he found that he was no different from yesterday, except that he had an extra long sword on his back.

Without wasting time, Zhao Xu took out the jade bracelet and handed it to Ding Dian.

"Brother Ding may have many suspicions and concerns, but with my strength, there is no need to go to such lengths to deceive you."

"This is the token I received from Miss Shuanghua when I met her last night."
