"I won't look for the Feng family, but what if I go to Tianshan and fail?"
After hearing this, the group of attendants actually laughed. There was a hint of mockery on their faces. The swords at their waists were still held in the most orthodox posture.
At this moment, Chu Zhan felt like a clown, meaningless.
"You go to the territory of those old guys in Hanshan Realm. If you don't succeed, the deal can no longer continue. After all, why should you help me if you can't help me with the matter?"
If you can't help me accomplish this, it would be like losing both my wife and my army. Su Lie was no fool. A business like this, which was bound to lose money... could be left to Zhao Xin alone. There was no need to suffer multiple losses.
This great doctor's consultation fee is very expensive! Nowadays, the evil mansion is very clear about the bill.
And now this evil mansion is blocked. He still remembered that there is another person who has many backups.
Previously known as the He family, its great family.
The He family had been in hiding for a long time, but recently they showed up on the battlefield... and stole someone's head. This incident has become widely known in Daqin.
Although this person appeared, he could not find him by himself.
How could you possibly bump into it just by luck? That's impossible.
Anyway, I can't just leave like this.
I felt a bit wronged, so I asked the Evil House for a wooden plaque. They didn't say whether they agreed or not. They just said.
"As long as I bring the Tianshan flower back, I must save people."
"Why wouldn't my Su family agree to this client's order?"
When everyone heard this, they became much more respectful. But only for a moment. Then they bowed, walked in and left with an apologetic look on their faces.
Chu Zhan heard it too, standing outside the door listening to the maid's report. No one knew when the Su family's patriarch, Su Jie, had been poisoned. If he didn't receive treatment, he'd be dead in a month...perhaps even less.

At this time, Zhao Xin was sitting in front of the hall playing Go with Liu Bei. To be honest, his Go skills were... half-baked.
Not that great.
But Liu Bei probably saw through it, so he gave him some slack step by step, and Zhang Liang was there to guide him.
For no reason, he recalled a scene.
He sat there playing Go with Liu Bei, while Zhang Liang stood behind him, guiding him step by step, which looked very boring.
"My dear, please don't give me any instructions yet. Let me think about it. It would be really boring to be ordered around playing Go."
Zhang Liang also understood and bowed with a smile.
"Then your majesty, please step down first."
To be honest, chess was not something he wanted to learn.
This learning was also in response to what the ministers had said. The emperor would play chess in his free time to cultivate his sentiments. He even set up an annual competition just to compete with these folk masters in chess.
The original owner, Zhao Xin...why didn't he see this when he read the original text...
I guess his chess skills are top-notch. Because according to those veteran ministers, this emperor is firmly ranked as the chess god. No one has ever been able to beat him.
The system on the Great Qin side was to win the game in a best-of-three format, so most people were beaten without even a chance to fight back.
But his chess skills can better show a person's ability to conquer cities and territories. How could a tyrant play such a good game?
The means to capture cities and plunder territories are all in his hands. Zhao Xin doesn't believe that this is the work of a foolish king.
"Your Majesty, there is someone outside who wants to see you."
"Who?"
At this time, Zhao Xin was struggling with playing chess. He was looking at the jade chessboard, wondering where to place his chess piece.
He hesitated for a long time before slowly putting down a chess piece.
Naturally, he didn't hear the servant's shouts outside the door.
It was Zhang Liang who turned around and asked, "Who are you?" He was very annoyed at this sudden interruption. Being interrupted while playing chess would disrupt one's train of thought.
This is a big taboo in chess.
"It's... that's the gold medal. I asked... but he refused to tell me. It seems like it's an urgent situation."
It seemed that he was on good terms with the Emperor. So Zhang Liang kept silent and focused on observing his chess moves. As for the final decision, he would leave it to His Majesty to judge.
At this time, Zhao Xin also heard that someone was holding a gold medal and asking for a meeting outside the door.
If it was a gold medal, it must be someone from the He family or the Evil House. There would be no problem for the He family to come to Zhao Xin now.
The most likely person coming is from the Evil House.
"Everyone, please stop here for now. We can discuss chess lessons another day. I think I need to meet that guest as well."
The two bowed and left. Xiao Chenzi summoned Su Lie into the house. Su Lie was quite honest and directly handed over the night-shining pearl in the mansion.
"Your Majesty, this is the largest night-shining pearl in my palace. Now it belongs to you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Xin had just recovered from his shock when he was hit on the head.
A large, crystal-clear night-shining pearl was placed directly on the table. It was beautiful, and I couldn't help but praise it.
But...what does this have to do with him?
"I've heard that the current head of the Evil House is so stingy that he's even been accepted into the circles of major aristocratic families. Why is he giving me a gift in advance? Is he expecting me to return the favor?"
Su Lie was speechless.
Hey, who would dare ask you to return the gift? If Zhao Xin's gift were truly delivered to him, he'd feel guilty for a year. Who knows how many things Zhao Xin would have asked him to do that year.
It's so clear.
"When are you going to help me get the thousand-year-old cold iron?"
No wonder Zhao Xin felt like he'd forgotten something; it turned out to be this thing. He'd probably forgotten about it for over a month.
"Why, do you really need it?"
"My father is lying in bed right now, Your Majesty, what do you think?"
The words Zhao Xin wanted to say died in his throat. He cast a deep gaze at Su Lie and apologized. The Evil House was now under his command, and from the moment Su Lie pledged his allegiance, their fates had been inextricably linked.
You can't say that.
It was a one-way relationship. Zhao Xin calling Su Lie was reasonable, but the opposite was not so simple. The master and servant were only concerned with each other.
"So, Your Majesty, the most outstanding ruler of the Great Qin, when will you be able to save the Evil House from this dire situation?"
This is too hasty, and the tone used becomes strange.
Like an oath.
"Can that thousand-year-old cold iron save his father's life?"
"It can only use the thousand-year-old cold iron to display the Tianshan Flower, the rarest treasure on Tianshan Mountain. This is also the safest way. It does have another thing that can be displayed, but..."
"What is that? And where can I find the Tianshan flower on Tianshan Mountain?"
"The Tianshan flower blooms atop the exquisite pagoda of Tianshan Mountain. It is shrouded in cold winds and snow year-round. It thrives in such a specific environment. If he were to pluck it carelessly, he would surely die."
He died before he even got down the mountain. By the time he was sent to the evil man's house, he would have been dead and there was no way to save him.
