Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

This golden whistle fell from his father's pocket.

At that time, when his father's body was casually wrapped in rags and thrown off the cliff by the officials, this thing fell and was picked up by him with his quick eyes and hands.

His father never told him what the golden whistle was used for, but his intuition told him that this thing was very important, and it looked like a secret whistle for contact, so he put it in his arms and kept it safely.

Today, he took out the golden whistle, hoping that his father in heaven could lend a hand and give him some clues.

He pondered and thought for a long time, and finally remembered that his father had indeed mentioned two sentences inadvertently.

At the beginning of his exile, his father mentioned to him a father-in-law named Zhang De, a favorite of the King of Qin, who claimed he could help the Zhao family revive its power. If his father helped him overthrow the Shen family, he would atone for his sins and speak on behalf of the Zhao family to the King of Qin.

Thinking of this, his eyes, which were originally somewhat exhausted physically and mentally, began to light up again.

After all, it was impossible for him to attack the Shen family with his own ability. Shen Qingge, who was skilled in martial arts, could easily take his life.

But now it’s different. Their Zhao family has a backer, and the future prince is also his. His Shen family is just a small family, so it’s no problem for them.

As Zhao Ping thought about it, his back straightened up.

However, a thorny problem was before him: how could he contact Eunuch Zhang De?

They had been in exile for so many days, and no officials had arrived. The hope that had just been ignited was gradually extinguished.

He is unwilling...

In the blink of an eye, night fell and the moon was dim.

Zhao Ping sat alone under a large tree, his eyes dull and his expression blank. The physical pain continued to torment him, and watching his enemies flex their muscles beside him was a deep emotional wound, leaving him feeling disheartened.

Chirp...chirp...

At this moment, the sound of birds was heard from the woods not far away.

At first, Zhao Ping didn't pay much attention to it. It was just that the sound was intermittent but continuous. After listening carefully, he realized that it was not a bird's cry.

He sat up suddenly, the fighting spirit in his eyes rekindled. Could it be that Lord Zhang's men came to look for him?

He looked around with a shifty look. It was quiet in the night, with no other sound except snoring.

Then he stood up carefully and tiptoed towards the direction of the sound.

As he expected, before he could stand still, a figure floated down from the tree.

The man in black was about to speak when he saw the man in front of him. His face was covered with sores, his eyelids were swollen, and he was emitting a foul odor from time to time. He asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

The next moment, a sharp dagger was at Zhao Ping's neck.

Zhao Ping was horrified, his voice trembling as he timidly said, "Sir, I...I am Zhao Du's son, Zhao...Zhao Ping!"

As he spoke, he took out a golden whistle from his bosom, the same one as the one in his hand, with trembling hands.

The man in black snatched the golden whistle, looked at it carefully, and confirmed that there was a dark pattern of the Qin Palace mark on it, then he put the dagger down from Zhao Ping's neck.

He asked doubtfully, "Where's your father?"

At this point, Zhao Ping, who had collapsed on the ground, sobbed softly, "My father was killed by the vicious Shen family!"

Then, he began to cry non-stop, "Wuwuwu...Sir, you don't know, the Shen family's legitimate daughter, Shen Qingge, is extremely vicious. She attracted poisonous scorpions from nowhere, causing my father to be poisoned to death! You must stand up for my father!"

A grown man was crying with tears and snot all over his face. He wiped his tears with his hands, and the pustules burst open and instantly gushed out a stream of pus, which was extremely disgusting.

The man in black took several steps back in disgust.

"That's enough! I'm not interested in your trivial matters!"

He had long ago warned Lord Zhang De that assigning a mission to a weak, incompetent man like Zhao Du would inevitably lead to failure. And now, Zhao Du couldn't even defeat a few women, and was killed effortlessly. He was truly useless!

However, right now he is the only connection, and it is better to keep it than not to have it. If it is broken, it will be very troublesome to reconnect it.

So, the man in black said coldly: "Can you make the decision for the Zhao family now?"

"Of course I can! After my father passed away, I naturally became the head of the Zhao family. You can tell me to do anything, sir!"

"Well, Master Zhang has something for you to do. If you can do it well, not only will you receive a generous reward, but I'll also speak well of you to Prince Qin and get you a high position, ensuring you a comfortable life for the rest of your life. How do you do it?"

Zhao Ping was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly promised, "I'll do it, I'll do it! I'll make sure Master Zhang won't be disappointed!"

But the man in black did not give him a good face. Instead, he put the dagger to his throat again and said viciously:

"Your old father is so incompetent that he even lost his life trying to do something so trivial! You'd better stop being such a good-for-nothing. Otherwise, I will kill you myself."

The man in black snorted coldly, and brought the sharp blade in his hand closer, leaving a long bloody mark on Zhao Ping's bumpy neck.

Zhao Ping trembled uncontrollably. "Master, you...you tell me what to do. I...I'll do whatever you say!"

The man in black thought for a moment, took out a packet of medicine powder from his arms and handed it to Zhao Ping.

"Didn't you say that Shen Qingge is a martial arts expert and also knows a little about medicine?"

"Yeah!"

"Her vigilance is naturally very high, so you can't attack her directly. You have to take a roundabout approach, or attack those around her."

After hearing this, Zhao Ping seemed to understand but not quite, and stared at him blankly.

What an idiot!

The man in black thought about it, then sighed and continued, "The powder in here is called a power-dissolving powder. It can make a martial artist lose all their internal energy, leaving them physically weak for a short period of time. You must first destroy her martial arts before you can proceed to the next step."

"Oh... I understand!"

When the man in black heard what he said, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, thinking that he really understood.

"Well, then, find an opportunity to pour this powder into her water bag. Isn't that simple?"

When the man in black heard this, he immediately became angry, and a look of deep contempt appeared in his eyes.

It is true that a dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix. A mouse gives birth to a son who can dig holes, and the father is a coward!

Zhao Du had been in the officialdom for decades, trying his best to persuade them, but he hadn't been able to touch the women and children of the Shen family. Could this loser really accomplish this? Forget it, since he was already here, he might as well try his luck! After all, he couldn't find the right person right away.

So, he still patiently said in a gentle tone: "Pour it into the water bag, easy to say! Do you think you can approach Shen Qingge so easily?"
