C12 Easily broken (a)

At night, Zhou Tong packed his things. The Sumeru Pearl his father gave him had to have a space that was at least ten meters in length and width, which was enough for Zhou Tong to stuff everything into it in one go.

Just as he was tidying up, Zhou Wan?er pushed the door and walked in.

"Brother, are you going out?" Zhou Wan?er jumped to Zhou Tong's side and asked while blinking his eyes.

"Yeah, go dart with aunt." Zhou Tong smiled as he looked at his sister, then took out an exquisite candy and placed it in his sister's hands.

Hearing that Zhou Tong was about to go out, Zhou Wan?er's small mouth immediately pouted, as if she had no appetite to grab the candy.

"How long will it take? Wan-Er was the only one in the house. It was so boring.

"It won't be long. We won't be far from here. We'll be leaving early tomorrow and will be back in three to five days." I'll bring you something nice to eat when the time comes. " Zhou Tong reached out his hands and lovingly rubbed his sister's head.

"The pinky."

"Alright, pinky swear." Zhou Tong crouched down and stretched out his pinky with Zhou Wan?er.

"The moon is so round tonight. Accompany me to the roof to see if it's okay."

After pulling on the hook, Zhou Wan?er swung Zhou Tong's sleeves back and forth as he said those words.

"Alright, I'll accompany you to see the moon."

Zhou Tong grinned, pointed at the tip of Zhou Wan?er's nose and turned to pick up the jade xiao from the table, then picked up Zhou Wan?er with one hand and walked out of the door.

jumped out of the house and with two leaps, he brought Zhou Wan?er along and landed on the roof.

In the entire young generation of the Zhou Family, only Zhou Tong was able to carry someone and easily climb up the roof.

Zhou Tong swept a patch of snow off the roof beam, laid a cushion on it and let Zhou Wan?er sit down, then swept it away himself and sat down.

The night was calm, a full moon hung high in the sky, and the air was filled with a soft light.

Zhou Tong picked up the jade flute in his hand and placed it in his mouth, then started to play the tune Zhou Wan?er liked to hear the most. This tune, had accompanied Zhou Wan?er through countless of such peaceful nights.

"Brother, come back early, otherwise I will miss you."

Zhou Wan?er leaned on Zhou Tong's leg and muttered.

Zhou Tong's eyes carried a smile, and he turned the tune like a pearl falling onto a jade plate, just right in the midst of this peaceful night.

On the morning of the second day, Zhou Tong woke up early and did not fall asleep. This was a habit that Zhou Tong had developed over the years.

Walking out of the Zhou Mansion, the streets were still quiet. Zhou Tong followed a group of burly men in the middle, looking like a harmless mascot.

"Tong Tong, follow Auntie closely on the way, okay?" If you encounter any danger, you can just hide behind your aunt and not run around. "

The leading beautiful woman with short hair patted Zhou Tong's head, her face filled with a doting expression. This person was Zhou Tong's aunt, the Zhou family's third clan elder, Zhou Yuqin.

"Alright, Aunt, don't worry." Zhou Tong squinted and smiled as he nodded his head, secretly disagreeing with him.

The few Escort s present were all of Qi Refinement Realm, while Zhou Yuqin, who had the highest cultivation level, was of the fourth stage of qi generating state. Although the difference in cultivation was huge, Zhou Tong was not afraid of any of them in terms of actual combat.

With his current strength of more than 2000 jins of the ninth level of Qi Force, apart from his aunt Zhou Yuqin, no one else present could withstand a single strike from his sword.

Even if it was just a piece of scrap iron, it could be refined into high-quality steel. The concept of the strong and weak could only be considered a truth if one's cultivation was low. Only those who did not pursue the path of cultivation could follow this concept.

There were several fine horses in front of the gate. After giving out instructions to everyone, they all got on their horses under Zhou Yuqin's lead. They pressed a cart with a seal on it and set off along the road.

As Zhou Tong rode on the horse, he could not help but recall his previous life of riding and riding. His heart was filled with emotion.

There was a saying, "Ten thousand pagodas in the Misty Mountain Sect, the nine heavens and the jade lake were all flashy; Mo Yan's path in front was very dangerous, he relied on his sword to ride his horse across the horizon."

In the former world, he explored Gabriella and then asked Gloria about it. How cool was it to walk with a sword? Now that he was living a new life, he had to live another life.

After the escort team left the Cang Lan City, they took the escort car and went around the mountain.

Although it was not as fast and convenient as walking down the main road, it was still much safer. The mountain roads were dangerous, and there were very few bandits hiding. Even if there were, it would only be a small amount of power.

Zhou Tong walked in the middle of the group, closely following by Zhou Yuqin's side.

He did not have the time to specially choose a saddle for Zhou Tong. The horse that Zhou Tong was riding on, was originally a Escort with a very robust physique, the saddle was very wide, and it was very awkward for Zhou Tong as he had to straighten his toes to ride it.

"By the way, aunty, do we have to keep the escort team's route secret?" Zhou Tong awkwardly mounted on the horse and hugged the saddle as he asked.

"Of course. When the escort team sends the goods, there will be some greedy people coming to take them away. The route must not be leaked, otherwise if someone found out about the route in advance, they would definitely come to stop us." Why did you suddenly ask about this? "

Zhou Yuqin turned to look at Zhou Tong, and upon seeing his funny look, she laughed: "Tong Tong, sit properly, don't fall down."

Zhou Tong glanced at the rest of the Escort, and tried to sit up, but his legs slipped and he almost fell off his horse.

Zhou Yuqin quickly turned around and pulled Zhou Tong up. Just as the two of them got close, Zhou Tong whispered: "There seems to be a spy from the Zheng Family in the escort team, be careful."

Zhou Yuqin was startled, and immediately pulled Zhou Tong over.

"Look at you, so careless. Why don't you ride on the same horse as Aunty?"

Zhou Yuqin patted Zhou Tong's head amidst the laughter of the Escort, and then lowered his voice: "Speak, what happened?"

Zhou Tong secretly laughed in his heart. Seems like this aunt of his was not only concerned for him, her actions were also meticulous, and she immediately lowered her voice and spoke to him.

"Yesterday's meeting was over, Zhou Lin sneakily brought some people out, and then left the house. I secretly followed him, and this guy went back to the Zheng Family in a mess, and then left in a sorry state. I believe that the Zheng Family will try to kill us. Furthermore, from their conversation, I heard that there seems to be a spy among our escort team. "

"Understood, don't say anything for now, let aunty test this group of people."

Zhou Yuqin nodded in response, then pointed to a stream in front of them and said, "All of you, stop to rest. Let the horses drink some water."

The group immediately stopped after receiving their orders. After they stopped the escort car and tied the horses, they started to talk and divide the water. Only one of them looked anxious as he squatted beside the escort car and looked around furtively.

"Aunt, what's that person's name?" Zhou Tong moved closer to Zhou Yuqin and asked.

"That person is called Zhou Jie, I think he is a cousin of the outer sect Zhou Lin, and not long ago he was recommended by Zhou Lin to enter the escort team. Seems like there is a problem." Zhou Yuqin answered quietly, "I'll go find out."

"No need. Auntie, just wait. I'll go."

Zhou Tong laughed, then picked up a water bag and walked towards the man.

"Is this brother Zhou Jie?" I've often heard my big brother talk about you. Zhou Tong walked to Zhou Jie and bowed respectfully.

"Young master, please don't. I am an outer sect disciple and would not dare to address you as my brother. If young master does not mind, please call me Ajie." Zhou Jie immediately supported Zhou Tong with his hands, his humble appearance was somewhat sincere.

"Isn't that a bit rude? Let me call you Brother Jie. This water bag is too tight, I can't open it. Can you open it for me?" Zhou Tong squinted his eyes and laughed, then handed the water bag to Zhou Jie. "Of course, Young Master should not be too courteous when it comes to matters of duty. I cannot afford it."

Zhou Jie waved his hand and took the water bag. He tried his best to unscrew the stopper, but no matter what, he could not remove it.

Zhou Tong secretly laughed, with his more than two thousand kilograms of strength, how could he open the wooden cork so easily?

Looking at Zhou Jie's strenuous appearance, Zhou Tong could not help but curl his lips and smile. He took out his family's crest and while Zhou Jie was not paying attention, he gently threw it at Zhou Jie's feet.

"Hey, Brother Jie, your family emblem fell out. I'm helping you pick it up. Why is the word 'Zheng' written on it?"

Just as Zhou Tong picked up the wooden plate, Zhou Jie suddenly turned, threw his water bag at him and attempted to snatch the wooden plate.

"Give it to me!" Zhou Jie's face revealed a sinister look, he extended his hand out to grab Zhou Tong's clothes.

"You seem very nervous?"

Zhou Tong held onto the wooden badge and shook it, his face was full of ridicule: "This is my crest, why are you so excited?"

"I ?"

"It can't be that there's anything shameful on you, Brother Jie, right?" Zhou Tong squinted his eyes to look at Zhou Jie, lowered his voice and moved closer.
