Chapter 311 Li Xiuning's Probe

Li Xiuning and his party got this bad news when they first arrived, so naturally their momentum was greatly weakened.

However, Li Xiuning looked as usual.

She even kept turning the topic to Zhao Mingyuan, as if she was quietly inquiring about Zhao Mingyuan's situation.

And Shang Xiuxun seemed to really regard Li Xiuning as a good girlfriend, so he hardly defended against her.

Maybe he also wanted to share the happiness of finding someone he likes with his good girlfriends. Li Xiuning hardly asked, but with a little guidance, Shang Xiuxun told many things about Zhao Mingyuan.

Hearing that Zhao Mingyuan is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and Fu, Li Xiuning has not reacted yet.

After all, many people can do these tricks of literati.

However, Li Xiuning finally changed his color when he heard that Zhao Mingyuan was also proficient in various skills such as astrology, divination, gardening, economic strategy, disguise and gambling.

She couldn't help but think of the information about Zhao Mingyuan collected by Li Clan before, so she asked Zhao Mingyuan: "I heard that when General Zhao cleverly seized the Luokou warehouse, he cleverly used the disguise technique to pretend to be a general under Wang Shichong. That's why I cheated to open the Luokou warehouse. Is there such a thing?"

This matter has been spread for a long time, so Zhao Mingyuan naturally wouldn't deny it, so he nodded in agreement.

But Li Xiuning continued to ask: "Then dare to ask Mr. Zhao, why is Mr. Zhao so capable, but there has never been such a rumor in the world?"

Zhao Mingyuan said: "What is this? I don't know how many people have talents but are buried in the sea of ​​people. Compared with them, my abilities are nothing."

This was obviously just to change the subject, so Li Xiuning also changed the subject, but instead said: "Mr. Zhao's abilities really remind me of someone."

Before she could continue, Shang Xiuxun's expression changed.Obviously, she had already guessed what Li Xiuning was going to say.

Sure enough, Li Xiuning went on to say: "Many years ago, Master Lu Miaozi Lu was proficient in martial arts, medicine, gardening, architecture, art of war, disguise, astronomy, calendar calculation, mechanism, etc. He was famous all over the world and was called the world's number one craftsman.

Later, it was said that Master Lu was chased and killed by Zhu Yuyan, Queen of the Demon Gate.

Of course, there are also rumors that Master Lu fled overseas.

But Mr. Zhao had no trace of his previous whereabouts in the rivers and lakes, as if he appeared suddenly, he came to Yangzhou.

Could it be that Mr. Zhao came from overseas?

Is it Master Lu's disciple? "

Obviously, this is another person who, like Shang Xiuxun, misunderstood Zhao Mingyuan's origin.

Fortunately, Shang Xiuxun knew that Lu Miaozi hadn't gone overseas, so he also knew that Li Xiuning's guess was wrong.

Zhao Mingyuan replied: "My sect is named Xiaoyao Sect, and it is indeed overseas."

But he didn't mention Lu Miaozi's matter, nor did he deny it, which makes people daydream.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Mingyuan's words, everyone thought that Li Xiuning had guessed correctly, that Zhao Mingyuan was indeed Lu Miaozi's disciple.

It's just that Zhao Mingyuan deliberately didn't make it clear because he might be afraid of attracting the Yingui faction's pursuit.

Shang Xiuxun couldn't help turning her head to look at him, wondering why Zhao Mingyuan said such misleading words on purpose.

After all, she knew the truth.

In fact, Zhao Mingyuan did this on purpose, but he wanted to use this to forge his identity and resume.

After all, as he became more and more famous, his origin naturally aroused the exploration of people from various forces.

But no matter how many people inquired and searched, they could only find out that Zhao Mingyuan seemed to have come to Yangzhou by boat suddenly, but they couldn't find any previous sources.

Therefore, there are quite a few rumors that he is from the Demon Sect, and he is a disciple carefully cultivated by the Demon Sect, so as to win the world.

There is even a market for this statement, and many people believe it.

This brought Zhao Mingyuan some minor troubles. Although it was not fatal, it would be good if it could reduce some unnecessary troubles.

Otherwise, it will only arouse suspicion for no reason.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan took this opportunity to put the origin on Lu Miaozi.

Naturally, Shang Xiuxun would not expose Zhao Mingyuan, and Lu Miaozi would be happy to help him lie.

Even, if Lu Miaozi knew that Zhao Mingyuan lied to be his disciple, maybe he would find a way to make this matter real!

After all, having such a disciple is also very face-saving.

In this way, Zhao Mingyuan has a perfect background, which solves the loophole that he has never appeared in the arena before.

Moreover, Lu Miaozi has a certain reputation, and his reputation as the world's most skilled craftsman is also respected.This origin is barely acceptable.

After all, just like today's Li Xiuning inquired about him, Zhao Mingyuan will definitely encounter many such things in the future, and the sooner this matter is resolved, the better.

Obviously, Li Xiuning knew that Zhao Mingyuan was likely to be an important opponent of the Li Clan in the future, so he asked Shang Xiuxun about his identity, his character and conduct and other details.

This is trying to figure out Zhao Mingyuan's details, so as to find Zhao Mingyuan's shortcomings or loopholes, so that he can deal with him in the future.

And sometimes, nothingness, without any origin, is naturally a weakness.It's better to find a way to fill this vacancy.

As for the possibility of being misunderstood by the Yingui sect because of this, or even being suspected by the world that the secret of Duke Yang's treasury lies in Zhao Mingyuan, that's out of the question.

After all, there has been a long-standing rumor that "the jade of the He family and the treasure house of Duke Yang, if you get one of the two, you can win the world".

Before that, "Rakshasa Girl" Fu Junmai even spread the information about Duke Yang's treasure house on purpose to let the world know that she had entered Duke Yang's treasure house.

Coincidentally, Fu Junmao and Zhao Mingyuan once traveled together for a while.

This news is naturally not difficult to find out.

If you add the fact that Zhao Mingyuan may be Lu Miaozi's apprentice.

I'm afraid that there will be rumors that Zhao Mingyuan has mastered the secret of Duke Yang's treasure house, and may even have obtained the rumor of Duke Yang's treasure house.

However, this can cause trouble.But again, it has its benefits.

The proverb "The jade of the He family and the treasure house of Duke Yang, if you get one of the two, you can win the world" has been passed down for a long time, and it can be said that it is known to all women and children.

But there are also many people who believe this sentence, and it has been considered as destiny.

If this news gets out, maybe many people will think that Zhao Mingyuan is the destiny!

For example, some people looked at Zhao Mingyuan strangely during the banquet.

Obviously, everyone knows that the treasure house of Duke Yang was built by Lu Miaozi.And Zhao Mingyuan may be Lu Miaozi's disciple, and he came out to fight for world hegemony.

I'm afraid he got out of the mountain because he got the secret of Duke Yang's treasury!

Especially on the side of the Pegasus Ranch, many people had defected to Zhao Mingyuan. Now that they heard this, their confidence in Zhao Mingyuan was greatly increased, and they felt that they were lucky to bet on the treasure.

It's just that no one said these words out of their mouths, they just made eye contact with each other.

As a result, the welcome feast of the Li family ended under the eyes of everyone with different expressions.

Everyone in the Li family left one by one with complicated expressions, as if they were going to go back to discuss the news they had received.

But Zhao Mingyuan had to be interrogated by Shang Xiuxun when he went back, why did he lie during the dinner?
Zhao Mingyuan coaxed her for a long time before coaxing her well.

After a long while, Shang Xiuxun said seriously: "What do you think of Li Clan's trip?"

Zhao Mingyuan smiled and said: "Isn't their purpose obvious? Otherwise, why would they send Li Xiuning here. Of course you know this, so I don't need to say more."

After hearing Zhao Mingyuan's words, Shang Xiuxun said: "Xiu Ning and I have been good friends for many years, and the relationship between Li Fan and the ranch is also very good, and he took good care of the Pegasus Ranch before. Therefore..."

Zhao Mingyuan naturally understood what Shang Xiuxun meant.

Although Pegasus Ranch will not fully support the Li family, if they need war horses, Pegasus Ranch will not refuse any words based on the past, and will still support it as before.

It's just that the Li family and Zhao Mingyuan will almost certainly be enemies in the future. If Pegasus Ranch supports the Li family, it may cause Zhao Mingyuan's dissatisfaction.

Therefore, Shang Xiuxun felt uneasy, fearing that Zhao Mingyuan would be angry.

Zhao Mingyuan said naturally and generously that it doesn't matter.

After all, his relationship with Shang Xiuxun is not that strong yet, and now Shang Xiuxun is going to give up his best friend, I'm afraid it will reduce his favorability.

Sure enough, upon hearing what Zhao Mingyuan said, Shang Xiuxun felt that Zhao Mingyuan had been wronged, and became more intimate with him afterwards.

Obviously, Shang Xiuxun also understood the importance of these war horses in the struggle for world hegemony.But Zhao Mingyuan actually chose to take care of her mood.

This shows that in Zhao Mingyuan's heart, his weight is definitely not light, and it is not inferior to the great cause of the world.

Thinking of this, Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but feel very happy.

In the next few days, Li Fan discussed with the Pegasus Ranch about the purchase of war horses as usual, and did not do any extra things, as if there was nothing unusual.

But soon, Pegasus Ranch got a new piece of news that the four bandits were attacking.

The area within a hundred miles around Pegasus Ranch is the radiation area of ​​Pegasus Ranch's forces, and almost all the nearby towns have people from Pegasus Ranch.

Therefore, the Pegasus Ranch has already received news of the attack of the four bandits.

However, Zhao Mingyuan always felt that the coming of these four bandits was a bit strange, could it be related to the Li clan?
Zhao Mingyuan remembered that in the original book, it seemed that Li Mi colluded with the four bandits to deal with the Pegasus Ranch and the Li Clan.

Of course, it is still possible for Li Mi's side to do this now, and even add Zhao Mingyuan to him.

After all, although Zhao Mingyuan had a tacit understanding with Li Mi, there was no agreement.

What's more, even if the covenant is signed, it's probably unavoidable to cheat each other secretly.

After all, all agreements are almost doomed to be torn up at the beginning.

However, there is indeed a great possibility for the Li family, after all, the timing is indeed too coincidental.

Even, the four bandits in the original book may have been attracted by Li Clan, trying to force Pegasus Ranch to join them instead.

It's just that compared to Li Mi's side, their methods are undoubtedly more sophisticated.

However, no matter which side attracted the four bandits, for Zhao Mingyuan, it was enough to eliminate them all by force.
