Zhou family, Wudao Pavilion.

The fragrance of tea and the graceful music.

In the main hall, there were two people sitting upright, Zhou Wuzheng, the head of the Zhou family, and Zhou Ke's father Zhou Botong.

The two of them discussed the important matter in a low voice, and suddenly there was a sudden sound of knocking the door outside the door.

The two immediately stopped talking. Zhou Botong glanced at Zhou Wu. After receiving the permission of the head of the family, he sang to the outsider:

"Come in!"

Soon, a Zhou mercenary walked in with great spirits, bowed his hands and said:

"The head of the family, the head of the hall, I want to tell you a great news!"

Zhou Wu had no expression on his face, and the ancient well was no wave, but Zhou Botong had golden light flashed in his eyes, and said in surprise:

"Can you have news about that boy Zhou Ke?"

The mercenary nodded and said with a smile:

"The master guessed it right. Yesterday, a team of demon hunting team from our Zhou family was hunting in Dixie Valley, and unexpectedly found a person who looked very similar to Zhou Ke, so he immediately chased him. However, because the person was moving too fast at that time, we didn't catch up, so we lost it. Now the others continue to search in Dixie Valley, and the subordinates came here to report the good news."

Zhou Botong laughed with his palm and said excitedly:

"Hahaha, I knew this little boy would be fine. It's great. Recently, all the city-states of our Zhou family attached great importance to this matter. If that kid returns to any city-state, he must notify me as soon as possible! This brat..."

Zhou Wu, who was high on the sofa chair at the dragon's head, had no expression on his face and waved his hand and said:

"If there is nothing else, just go ahead!"

Zhou Botong glanced at the old man, coughed dryly, suppressed his excitement, nodded and said:

"Well, go down and let the people in Dixie Valley search intensify. If you find that kid, you will say it was my order and let him come back immediately!"

"Yes, I understand!"

As he said that, the mercenary left the room.

As the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Wu naturally favors the descendants of the Zhou family very much, but after all, it is difficult to get rid of a bowl of water. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, the strong have always been respected and strength is the supreme.

In Zhou Wu's impression, Zhou Ke has always been a cynical young man. When everyone is studying combat skills and comprehending the source power, he spends all day in libraries and ancient books halls, doing research that is useless. Occasionally, he will create some strange mechanical things that will cause explosions or damage from time to time. In short, he is a constant troublemaker.

There is something particularly impressive about Zhou Wu. At that time, a city lord from the Zhou family came to pay tribute and sent Zhou Wu an armor dismantled from the rare black-eyed magic bulldozer crab - the passive crab armor! This crab armor can passivate the weapon when resisting the attack of a weapon. It is a good armor, and its grade is earth level.

In this world, any item can be identified, including weapons, secret treasures, props, etc. Their levels are divided into: ordinary level, earth level, heavenly level, holy level and god level. The specific levels need to be identified by professional appraisers before they can be judged. However, some items in the appraisal process, if their qualifications are too ordinary or have poor workmanship, they may be crushed and broken. Some items with very good materials may also be destroyed during the appraisal, so many secret treasure weapons will not be taken out for identification.

But no matter what, the ground-level armor is a rare treasure in the ancient Han country.

Zhou Wu placed it in the Treasure Pavilion and occasionally took it out to show it to the guests, but he never wanted to use it.

Later, the Zhou family encountered a big trouble. Zhou Botong was about to attack and quell the turmoil in a city-state to which he belonged. This time, the expedition was very dangerous, so Zhou Wu reluctantly gave up his love and handed over the passive crab armor to Zhou Botong for use.

Zhou Botong pierced the dull crab armor on his body. With his combat power and the blessing of the dull crab armor, he quickly wiped out the rebellious enemy and won a great victory.

But what Zhou Botong didn't expect was that his son Zhou Ke had coveted this treasure armor for a long time after discovering it.

Later, in order to study the secret of a part in the passivation crab armor, Zhou Ke secretly took advantage of Zhou Botong's inattention and stole the passivation crab armor and dismantled the passivation crab armor, saying that he wanted to find out what chip from it.

As a result, the passivated crab armor was dismantled, but Zhou Ke did not find any so-called chips from it.

This made Zhou Botong very angry, and he taught his son Zhou Ke a lesson and locked him up for three days, but he did not give any more punishment.

After all, Zhou Botong is still a good protector and likes his eldest son. Later, Zhou Botong wanted to lie to the head of the family that the blunt crab armor was destroyed during the battle and he resisted the responsibility.

But unexpectedly, this incident was reported by Zhou Ke's younger brother Zhou Cong, allowing Zhou Wu to know the truth.

This made Zhou Wu furious, locked Zhou Ke in confinement, and confiscated many of his tools to dismantle magic parts.

After this incident, Zhou Wu had a very bad impression of Zhou Ke, believing that he was not only ignorant, but also did not seek to improve, had no great prospects, and was also a prodigal son. In contrast, Zhou Cong not only became a martial artist at the age of 18, but also had extraordinary talents and was very smart, so he was very pleased by Zhou Wu.

Because of this, when Zhou Ke was abducted and trafficked, although the Zhou family also used their strength to search, they did not do their best to investigate the matter. In addition, Zhou Cong was constantly venting the wind in Zhou Wu's ears, so Zhou Wu temporarily pressed the matter down.

Although Zhou Botong was very worried about the safety of his eldest son, he did not dare to disobey the head of the family. He had to temporarily leave the will and send a small force to continue searching for Zhou Ke's whereabouts.

Now that my hard work pays off, Zhou Botong is naturally very happy after finding the news about Zhou Ke.

When the mercenary left, Zhou Wu's face darkened and he said solemnly:

"Botong, Wu Bang and Wei Meng are getting more and more aggressive and pressing forward step by step. If we don't use some tough measures, the swords of their two families will no longer be hidden."

Zhou Botong's joy on his face quickly calmed down and frowned:

"Father, even though that is the case, Shuting has never expressed his opinion on this matter. We can't take the initiative. The two of them provoked trouble just to deliberately anger us. They are now eager for us to counterattack. Among the four major forces in the ancient Han country, our Zhou family is the weakest. Even Shuting, which is harmonious with us, has ulterior motives. If we want to survive in such an environment, we must be extremely careful. I still don't agree to take the initiative."

Speaking of this, Zhou Wu also sighed:

"Oh... It's a pity... The Zhou family's rookie in recent years is too modest. Looking at the entire ancient Han country, if the Zhou family is more powerful than ordinary source warriors, it is much inferior to the young strong men of the other three major forces. Alas, when can our Zhou family produce Sun Tianyao and Cao Luoke?

Zhou Botong also frowned and comforted:

"Don't worry, Father, our Zhou family will definitely be able to overcome difficulties, and our reserve force is growing rapidly. Not to mention Zhou Feiyang, who is extremely talented, even Zhou Cong and Zhou Xiao have been promoted to the first level of Black Eyes. If they are trained to increase the training intensity of these little guys, and cooperate with the secret treasure we got a while ago, they may be able to take the lead in the Dragon Chase and win back the face of our Zhou family."

Zhou Wu's eyes lit up and said in surprise:

"Yes, yes, that boy Zhou Feiyang doesn't care about him for now, especially Zhou Cong and Zhou Xiao. They must make the two of them hurry up and train and break through to the second level of Black Eye before the Dragon Zhuhui!"

"Okay, don't worry, head of the family!" Zhou Botong agreed.

At this time, Zhou Cong, who received the secret letter in another luxurious villa of the Zhou family, was also very surprised.

He looked scared and horrified, standing straight in place like a wooden man, tremblingly holding the black secret letter in his hand and muttering to himself:

"I'm a dreamer, no... impossible... impossible... how is this possible?"

In the black secret letter in his hand, Magellan clearly wrote that Zhou Ke escaped from prison and killed three powerful men in Shuting, including Liu Yeying.

This is a fantasy for Zhou Cong. His biological brother is clearly the tail end of the Zhou family's crane and does not even have the qualifications of the Yuan warrior. Why has he suddenly become a super strong man now?

Zhou Cong couldn't believe it, and he was even more unwilling to believe it.

Zhou Cong was even more worried that if Zhou Ke really came back and revealed his actions, what awaited him would be the punishment from the entire family, and he would be despised by all the tribesmen.

Thinking of this, Zhou Cong immediately came back to his senses, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and he rubbed the letter into a ball, and then burned it to death in the palm of his hand.

He returned to the study and immediately compiled a secret letter chip with an electronic password, allowing a very trusted subordinate to wrap the chip in an envelope to Qiu Bulang, who was in Helan trading ground.

The subordinate happily took the letter and received a reward of 500 gold coins. He was thinking about where to spend the money and drink, and was very satisfied with the errand.
