Chapter 676 Return to the family

Zhao Hu took the letter with a look of astonishment and quickly opened it. He saw a few lines of crooked small words written on it: "Big brother, thank you. Master Xueshan and I went to Xueshan to learn martial arts together. When I succeed in learning, I will come back to find you: Jinlan."

After reading the letter, Zhao Hu folded it up, put it in his arms, and said to Zhao An beside him: "We have been delaying on Hainan Island for a long time, so let's go back to the chaotic place today!"

In the east of the chaotic land, the Zhaojiagang Pier was brightly lit. Oil lamps placed on thick stone pillars emitted a series of scorching lights in the dark night sky, illuminating the entire pier.

Teams of guards holding refined steel knives, emitting iron-blooded and fierce aura all over their bodies, allowing the roaring evening breeze to hurt their cheeks. With the help of the light of the oil lamp, their sharp eyes looked vigilantly at the crowd on the dock, driving away anyone who wanted to approach the dock, quietly waiting for the arrival of the young master.

In front of these fierce guards, at the forefront of Zhaojiagang Wharf, a middle-aged fat man tightened his black coat with his hands and whispered: "Butler, can Mr. Zhao Hu still recognize us for so long after he has left Zhaojiabao?"

An old man wearing a snow-white shirt, black vest, straightened his hair and said with a serious look: "Zhao Xin, although the young master has been away from Zhaojiabao for six years, he was already ten years old when he left, so the young master should still recognize us! However, it doesn't matter if the young master doesn't know us, as long as we can recognize him."

A thin young man wearing a black tights, black soft armor, and a black long sword hanging on his waist said, "The young master was already six years old when he left home. Even if six years have passed, he should recognize us. After all, our appearance has not changed much in these six years."

When Zhao Hu walked down from the big ship accompanied by Zhao An, Zhao Zhong immediately took a few steps forward with joy on his face, walked to Zhao Hu's side, and said excitedly: "Welcome the young master to Zhaojiabao!"

Zhao Hu looked at the excited look and took the lead in greeting him, butler Zhao Zhong, opened his arms, and hugged him with a warm hug, and said loudly: "I haven't seen you for six years, Grandpa Zhao Zhong is still as tough as before!"

Zhao Hu let go of his hands embracing his housekeeper Zhao Zhong, and his eyes kept wandering back and forth between Zhao Xin and Zhao Yi who were following him closely behind Zhao Zhong, and said with some uncertainty: "Uncle Zhao Xin? Brother Zhao Yi?"

When the fat man Zhao Xin heard Zhao Hu call out his name, he was delighted. He smiled and said with a fat belly, "I didn't expect that the young master has been away from home for ten years, and I still clearly remember my uncle Zhao Xin!"

Zhao Hu blinked at the fat man Zhao Xin a little naughtyly, and said with a smile: "How could I forget Uncle Zhao Xin! If it weren't for you, how could I have the money to buy snacks when I was a child!"

Hearing Zhao Hu mentioning the fact that he stole money from him to buy snacks when he was a child, the fat man Zhao Xin couldn't help but smile, stepped forward, and hugged Zhao Hu with a warm hug. He patted his shoulder with his fat hands, and then said loudly: "I didn't expect that our dear eldest young master, I still remember the naughty things when I was a child. I really flattered you Uncle Zhao Xin!"

Hearing the words of the fat man Zhao Xin, Zhao Hu smiled a little embarrassedly, let go of his hands that hugged Zhao Xin, and gave Zhao Yi a big hug with excitement, and said in an excited tone: "Brother Zhao Yi, what level of your "Ghost Sword Technique" has been cultivated? You can't use it to bully me!"

Feeling Zhao Hu's joy and excitement from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Yi also showed a faint smile on his face, patted him on the shoulder hard, and said loudly: "Don't worry! In the future, your brother Zhao Yi, I will never bully you, but help you bully others."

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Zhao Hu said happily: "That's good!"

Housekeeper Zhao Zhong saw Zhao Hu's excited expression on his face and had a tendency to continue chatting with Zhao Yi. He quickly persuaded him: "Okay, okay, let's talk about anything on the road! What did you think of standing here to reminisce about the past?"

Hearing the words of Butler Zhao Zhong, he looked at the dark night sky in the distance and the roaring evening breeze. Zhao Hu and Zhao Yi couldn't help but make an appointment to smile, followed by Butler Zhao Zhong, and under the protection of many guards, he left the dock and boarded a huge carriage with eight majestic black horses pulling carts.

After entering the huge carriage, Zhao Hu found that the space inside the carriage was very large, and it was enough to sit down a dozen people. The interior decoration of the carriage was also very luxurious, and many places were decorated with a lot of gold and gems.

A huge transparent crystal lamp was hung on the top of the carriage, emitting a soft light. There was also a layer of cushions made of second-level magic tiger fur. People sat on it, very comfortable without any bumpy feeling.

Zhao Hu casually looked at the interior of the carriage, hesitated for a while before asking softly: "Grandpa Zhao Zhong, what is the situation in Zhaojiabao? After my parents died unexpectedly, has anyone jumped out to grab the property?"

Seeing Zhao Hu taking the initiative to ask about the situation of the Zhao family, Zhao Zhong hesitated for a moment, sighed lightly, and said with a frustration: "Young Master Zhao Hu, tell you the truth! The current situation of the family is extremely bad, and it is possible that other forces will take advantage of the situation.

Before Zhao An grows up, it is extremely difficult for you to successfully take over the entire Zhaojiabao. It is no exaggeration to say that it is simply impossible!"

When Zhao Zhong heard Zhao Zhong's words, Zhao Hu was not surprised at all when he saw his frustrated expression. After he learned that his parents and elites of his family were all buried in the sea, he thought of this result. Therefore, Zhao Hu said with a constant expression: "Grandpa Zhao Zhong, don't be so depressed. Tell you in detail about the situation in Zhaojiabao. Things may not be as bad as you think."

Seeing that there was no panic or surprise on Zhao Hu's face, Zhao Zhong nodded secretly in his heart, feeling that he had studied in Qinglong Academy for six years and had not been in vain.

So he sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Since more than a month ago, the fortress owner and his wife brought most of the money and food in Zhaojiabao. Under the protection of the elite 10,000 families, they went to Tianxian Island to do business. On their way back, they were attacked by sea and were ruthlessly killed, and the family fell into turmoil.

First of all, the eighteen affiliated families of Zhaojiabao began to stop obeying the family's orders, and even continued to take the opportunity to expand their sphere of influence, gradually eroding the territory of our Zhaojiabao and suppressing the industry of our Zhaojiabao.

At the same time, the Flying Tiger Gang, hundreds of kilometers northwest of Zhaojiabao, began to mobilize troops and dispatch troops in a dishonest manner, constantly creating friction and conflicts in the border areas with our Zhaojiabao. In more than a month, it has quietly occupied three small towns and sixteen villages in our Zhaojiabao, with a total population of more than 200,000.

Secondly, after learning that the lord and his wife had died and that the family's 10,000 elite soldiers had been lost, the young master sent envoys to Zhaojiabao to share the family's property, and tried his best to criticize the lord and his wife for suppressing them during their lifetime, and strongly demanded to obtain the family's precious land.

At the same time, it is said that the young master left home since he was a child, did not make any contribution to the family, nor did he have any extremely powerful strength, and could not lead the family to glory. Therefore, he was not qualified to inherit the industry of Zhaojiabao and become the new head of the Zhaojia family.

Finally, with the loss of 10,000 elite families following the castle master and his wife, there were only 10,000 guards in the entire Zhaojia Fort, 1,000 family guards, and 50,000 city guards that did not have much combat effectiveness, they were no match for the eighteen affiliated families, or the young master and six uncles.

What is even more despairing is that among the remaining army of the family, Yang Feng, the captain of the 10,000 guard team, has recently been very close to the young master's second uncle Zhao Hong, and may betray the family at any time and become the junior uncle's second uncle's minion.

Once Yang Feng betrays the family and the 10,000 guards are no longer obeying the orders of the young master, then the young master will lose the last glimmer of hope to control the family and be forced to leave Zhaojiabao and become a homeless wanderer."

Zhao Hu touched the dark dagger that was tied to his waist, and a cold murderous intent rose in his heart. Although Zhao Hu was not old, he had already developed a pressure from the superiors for several years. Even if he traveled to the Qinglong Continent and possessed a rich child, the pressure emitted from his bones was extremely strong, which made the faces of Zhao Zhong, Zhao Yi and Zhao Xin in the carriage show surprise on his face.

Zhao Hu, who exudes a strong pressure from the superiors in his bones, learned that his property was being peeped at by the thieves, had a murderous intent in his heart unconsciously. He said in a plain tone: "Grandpa Zhao Zhong, please introduce me in detail the situation in the family and tell me that those people are absolutely loyal and can be used for us. Those people are neutral and swaying and can try their best to fight for. Those people cannot fight for it and must be eradicated."

Feeling the faint murderous intent emitted by Zhao Hu, Zhao Zhong, Zhao Yi and Zhao Xin beside him all breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Zhao Hu was not as weak as he imagined, but an iron-blooded person like the Castle Lord.
