They stopped in front of the room where Li Tianyun was recuperating. The news of Li Tianyun being seriously injured and having his leg chopped off had already spread throughout the Nightless City. Therefore, countless patriarchs and elders from various forces had rushed to the Zhao Family, hoping to curry favor with the Zhao Family.
However, as they continued to be attentive and took out their clan's precious treasures as tonics to gift to Li Tianyun, they didn't know that danger was silently approaching them. Qin Shi's figure had already stopped outside the door of the room.
Looking at the long queue in front of them, Tong Tong followed behind Qin Shi with a guilty conscience, "Sir, what are we doing here?
This, isn't this walking right into a trap? "
Qin Shi smiled, "What's the rush?
Young Master Zhao is seriously injured, everyone is here to visit, shouldn't we prepare some gifts? "
"This …!"
Tong Tong clicked his tongue, but before he could speak, Little Mi Cai rolled her eyes at him, "My father definitely has his own plans, can't you be quiet for a while, don't worry about these useless things!"
"I … Alright!"
Tong Tong was speechless after being scolded, and in addition to Qin Shi's previous plans, he did not ask anymore.
Soon, the queue reached Qin Shi's group, a Zhao Family guard said sternly, "You three, which family are you from?"
At first, the guard did not have any suspicions, but seeing that Qin Shi's group did not speak, he became suspicious and frowned. This simple action made Tong Tong like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow, he took a step back and thought to himself, "It's over, we're going to be discovered!"
He was not like Qin Shi, who had experienced great storms. This was the first time in his life that he had done something like this. Just as he was at a loss of what to do, Qin Shi suddenly pushed him and said to the guard with a smile, "Sir, we are from the City Lord's Mansion. City Lord Li's heart ached when he heard about Young Master Zhao's matter, so he asked us to deliver a few stalks of high quality medicinal herbs in hopes that Young Master Zhao will recover soon."
Then, he said to Tong Tong, "What are you standing there for?
Look at how excited you are when you come to the Zhao Residence, you're already out of your wits, useless!
Why aren't you taking out the token? "
Things developed very quickly, and Tong Tong was still in a daze. After being scolded by Qin Shi, he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we are from the City Lord's Mansion."
Then, he took out his official ID as a guard of the Nightless City from his pocket and handed it to the guard of the Zhao family.
After looking at the documents, the guard sized up the three of them again. This caused Tong Tong's forehead to break out in cold sweat. He had almost been exposed. In the end, Qin Shi raised his palm and used the power of the primordial chaos in his dantian to stabilize him.
After looking left and right for a while, the guard handed the ID to Tong Tong. "Alright, hurry up. There are still people queuing up behind you. When the visitation is over, our young master still needs to rest."
"I know, I know. Don't worry, Lord." Qin Shi nodded humbly and pulled Tong Tong and Mi Cai into the room.
As soon as they entered the room, Tong Tong felt as if he had walked through purgatory. He squatted down and panted heavily. "That was close."
"Useless!" Mi Cai glanced at him.
Qin Shi also said, "If we are exposed now, then Tong Qing and Zixin's lives will be in danger. You better calm down."
At the mention of Tong Qing and Zixin, Tong Tong was in a bad mood. Then, he gritted his teeth and tried to control himself. "I will try my best."
Qin Shi nodded in satisfaction and didn't say anything else. Instead, he looked around the room. The room was very grand. The walls were carved with dragons and phoenixes and embedded with gold, silver, and jewelry. It was comparable to a palace.
Inside the living room was a dark room. From inside, one could hear Li Tianyun's angry roar. "Ahhh!!!
I want him dead, I want him dead!
I won't let him go. "
"Young Master Zhao, please calm down. It's almost dusk. Tong Qing and the little girl are in our hands. They will definitely come to save them."
Only then did Zhao Tianyun calm down. He cursed. "Hmph, after we kill them, I want Tong Zixin to die a horrible death. I want her to be my maid, my slave. She will live a life worse than death!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, several foreign elders hurriedly flattered him, "Yes, yes, yes, whatever Young Master Zhao wants to do, in this Nightless City, it's within your reach. Who dares to stop you!"
"That's right. Tong Zixin will become your maid, which will raise her status. Later, Young Master Zhao, you can do whatever you want with her."
"Yes, we will help too."
Hearing this, Tong Tong was unable to restrain his anger in the living room. He wanted nothing more than to rush into the room and tear those arrogant old fellows to shreds. In the end, it was Qin Shi who reached out to stop him and said, "If you can't bear it, it will spoil the great plan. Bear it for now. They are all small characters. After we rescue Tong Qing and Tong Zixin, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with them in the future."
Tong Tong gritted his teeth. "This group of beasts!
Usually, when we are outside, we are also very unhappy with Zhao Tianyun. Each of us scolds him worse than the other. That old fellow from the Su family was the enemy of the Zhao family and was almost killed by the Zhao family. At that time, Tong Qing and I were on duty and saved his life. I didn't expect that not only would he not remember our kindness, he would even say such words! "
"Some people are like this. They have no grateful souls, only skin driven by profit. Take it lightly."
Qin Shi comforted him and did not say anything else. He continued to line up outside the bedroom and approached Zhao Tianyun bit by bit.
After a quarter of an hour, he had already arrived at Zhao Tianyun's bed. Zhao Tianyun's attention was completely focused on the gifts that everyone had given him, so he did not notice Qin Shi.
The main reason was that no one would have thought that at this time, Qin Shi would dare to take the initiative to barge into the Zhao family and even come to Zhao Tianyun's bed. This behavior was too bold.
"Young Master Zhao, this is a thousand-year-old Snow Ginseng from the Snow Lotus Mountain. It was obtained by chance by the Patriarch when he went out three years ago. It is a ninth-grade spirit herb with the effect of reviving the dead and turning them into bones. He has never been willing to use it, but when he heard that Young Master Zhao was seriously injured, he immediately sent me to deliver it to you.
I hope that you can recover soon. "An old man in front of Qin Shi cupped his hands and gave him a Snow Ginseng. Even Qin Shi was somewhat interested in that Snow Ginseng. It was indeed a good treasure.
However, Zhao Tianyun clearly did not understand this. In his eyes, there was only eating, drinking, and playing. He did not value this kind of herb at all. He curled his lips and scolded, "Boring."
Then, he waved his hand, indicating for the old man to move aside, and shouted to the back, "Next, let this young master see what good things the next one has brought for this young master!"
When the old man retreated with a face full of dirt, Qin Shi took a step forward and said with a smile, "Young Master Zhao, we meet again?"
"It's, it's you?"
Zhao Tianyun almost subconsciously jumped up from the bed, ignoring the pain in his calf. However, before he could say another word, Qin Shi had already quietly extended his hand and placed it on Zhao Tianyun's other leg like a knife. He used his soul force to transmit his voice to Zhao Tianyun, "If you don't want your other leg to be cut off by me, then you'd better pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, I guarantee that you will regret it. You know, I don't have any other good points, I just do what I say."
"You …!"
Zhao Tianyun was extremely furious. The guards beside him seemed to have noticed something and hurriedly took a few steps forward. "Young Master, what's wrong?"
"I …!"
Zhao Tianyun subconsciously wanted to call out Qin Shi's name, but when he opened his mouth, he swallowed the words that were about to come out. He didn't dare to act rashly anymore. Qin Shi's knife hand had already penetrated deep into his skin, and he was looking at him with a light smile on his face. He could clearly feel the pain, and didn't dare to say a single word.
Qin Shi then smiled and said, "Young Master Zhao should be feeling unwell. I'm his good friend of many years, and I want to treat his injuries. Everyone, don't be nervous."
At this point, he even smiled at Zhao Tianyun in an extremely solicitous manner. "Isn't that right, Young Master Zhao!"
The danger signal was still lingering around his body, causing Li Tianyun to reluctantly nod his head. "I, I'm fine, I'm just a little uncomfortable. This is my old friend, I haven't seen him for a long time, you don't have to worry about him!"
The guards looked at each other. Although they felt that it was strange, since Zhao Tianyun had said so, they naturally couldn't ask any further and took a step back.
This made Qin Shi smile in satisfaction. "Now you're obedient."
Then, his eyes became stern, giving people the feeling that it was like a blade that could pierce through the soul. He said coldly, "Now I ask you, where are Tong Qing and Tong Zixin?
You'd better not talk nonsense. You only have one chance to speak. If I don't hear the answer I want, then you know the consequences very well. "
The strength of the knife hand suddenly increased, and it had already touched Zhao Tianyun's skin, causing him to grit his teeth. He deeply felt that if he didn't answer Qin Shi, Qin Shi would really cut off his other leg. If it was someone else, he might not believe it, but he firmly believed in Qin Shi.
The feeling that Qin Shi gave him was too lawless and out of control.
He was a guy who was even more arrogant than a hedonistic young master like him.
"I, I'll say, they're trapped by me in the basement of the Zhao Clan …" Under the intense mental pressure, Zhao Tianyun finally spoke.
Receiving the news, Qin Shi heaved a sigh of relief. "You better not be lying to me, and you better pray that they're still alive. Otherwise, it won't be as simple as losing a leg. Don't think that just because you're in the Zhao Clan, I can't do anything to you. If I want to kill you, it'll be a piece of cake!"
Qin Shi used a voice that only the two of them could hear to threaten him. He turned around and gave Tong Tong and Xiao Mi Cai a look, then quickly left with the three of them.
Walking out of the room, Tong Tong's entire body was already drenched in sweat. He exclaimed in his heart, "It's really too thrilling. Sir, so you're always so crazy when you do things?"
