"Give it to me." Zhao Guangtao reached out, and apart from Zhao Tingyi and Zhao Jingning, Zhao Jingyi and Zhao Tingsong all took out jade pendants from their pockets and handed them to Zhao Guangtao.
After receiving the jade pendant, Zhao Guangtao knelt before the bronze door. "Ancestors of the Zhao family above, I now open the treasure vault in accordance with ancestral teachings to ensure the eternal existence of the Zhao family. Please bear witness, ancestors."
After saying this, Zhao Guangtao kowtowed three times, got up, and walked towards the gate.
Watching Zhao Guangtao's retreating figure, Zhao Jingyi and Zhao Tingsong exchanged glances subtly, each with a hint of smugness in their eyes.
Once today is over, the head of the Zhao family will be replaced!
Zhao Guangtao placed the five jade pendants into the grooves one by one, but found that the bronze door did not move. His expression changed drastically. He took off the jade pendants and placed them again, but the same thing happened.
"Hahaha, Patriarch Zhao, let me do it."
At this moment, a man's voice rang out, and Zhao Guangtao turned around in alarm, only to see Yun Shao appear before him with more than fifty guards.
"Third Prince, what are you doing here!"
This is a forbidden area of the Zhao family, protected by an array.
Anyone who doesn't understand formations and tries to force their way in will definitely trigger the traps.
However, Zhao Guangtao and his group were there and did not sense that anyone had triggered the array mechanism.
Zhao Jingyi and Zhao Tingsong quickly walked up to Yun Shao and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Third Prince."
Yun Shao looked at the two of them, smiled and nodded, "Yi'er, you've worked hard."
"It is no hardship for Yi'er to serve Your Highness."
"Good Yi'er, don't worry, from today onwards, the head of the Zhao family will be your brother."
"Thank you, Your Highness." The two bowed again and naturally stood behind Yun Shao, meeting the gazes of the Zhao family members without concealing their arrogance.
“Grandfather, are you wondering why we were able to pass through your Zhao family’s trap formation unscathed? We have to thank Yi’er for that. If she hadn’t secretly scattered the rice grains, it would have been quite difficult for us to get through this formation.” Yun Shao’s smile remained unchanged.
"Yi'er, Song'er, you!" Seeing this, how could Zhao Guangtao not understand?
Betrayed by his own granddaughter and grandson, he felt like he couldn't catch his breath, a sharp pain shot through his chest, and his body swayed precariously.
"Grandfather!" Upon seeing this, Zhao Jingning and Zhao Tingyi rushed forward to support Zhao Guangtao.
Su Ruojin fed Zhao Guangtao a pill, and only then did Zhao Guangtao feel some relief from the pent-up anger in his chest. He stared intently at Yun Shao, "Third Prince, what do you intend to do?"
"Patriarch Zhao, do you know why this cave entrance can't be opened? It's because the jade pendant in your hand is fake. The real Zhao family jade pendant is in my possession!"
After saying that, Yun Shao took out five jade pendants from his pocket. "Let me open this Zhao family treasure vault for you."
Yun Shao waved his hand, and the guards beside him rushed forward, blocking the Zhao family members' way and forbidding them from taking another step.
At this moment, only Zhao Guangtao and four others were on the Zhao family's side. How could they possibly contend with the guards brought by the Third Prince? Everyone could only watch helplessly as Yun Shao walked towards the cave and placed the five jade pendants inside.
Yun Shao's smile gradually disappeared after he saw that the bronze door did not react at all after the jade pendant was placed in.
He refused to believe it and tried again, but the bronze door still didn't respond.
If the door can't be opened, there's only one possibility: the jade pendant in my hand is also fake!
Yun Shao looked at Zhao Jingyi and her brother, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and asked, word by word, "What... happened?"
