After Xiang Que left, it took less than half an hour for the city defense team of Mashan City to patrol here. When they saw the corpses here and the four formation flags inserted on the corpses, their nerves were a little tense.
, in other places in Mashan Cave, it is easy to say that no one may care about the death of people, but in Mashan City, which is strictly controlled, an incident like the death of more than a dozen people at once is a big deal.
Therefore, this matter was directly reported to the City Lord's Mansion, and then all the dozens of corpses were transported back.
Hu Qing, the lord of Mashan City, personally inquired about this matter, because after inspection, his men initially concluded that the body might be from the top ten bandits.
The four broken flagpoles were pulled out from the corpse. Hu Qing put his hands behind his back and leaned forward with his fat body. He looked at the lines drawn on the flag and exclaimed: "This is the Gale Bandit."
The treasure at the bottom of the box is actually destroyed now?"
These four-pole array flags have been used by the Wind Bandits many times. It is not a secret among the outside world. They have always treated them as a treasure that they guard, and there are many people who are greedy for them.
A general from the city lord's palace frowned and said: "I actually let the Gale Pirates use this flag to kill people. Unexpectedly, they were killed in reverse. I don't know which one in Mashan City their target was."
Hu Qing said lightly: "Is it difficult to understand? Who is in the limelight in Mashan Cave Heaven right now, and they are below Xu Ying's level, and they can only be killed with this array of flags, who else do you think there is? Just
It’s just two people, it’s obvious.”
"Xiang Que and Nan Sijin!"
Hu Qing squinted his eyes and said: "Is it because someone is jealous that Qingshan and Qingyun got two good talents, or because their former enemies came to find them, so they hired Gale Wind's people. This is really a waste of money."
"Lord City Lord, I just need to do a little research to find out who Xiang Que or Nan Sijin has been to Mashan City before, then I will naturally know which one I want to kill."
Hu Qing thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "Why check them? No matter who he is, as long as the person didn't die in Mashan City, it has nothing to do with us. When it is found out, which party do you think is appropriate to report to? Not too much
If you are nosy, just pretend you don't know. Drag these corpses, along with those flagpoles, to the mass graves outside the city. Just wait for Gale's people to come and collect the corpses. By the way, you can have people stay beside the corpses.
Just tell them in one line not to kill anyone in Mashan City!"
After his men left, Hu Qing's originally rather plain face turned a little serious: "This flag formation can't even trap his people..."
Qingshan Sect, by the lake.
When Xiang Que came back, Xiang An was waiting for him anxiously. After seeing the other person, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
Xiang Que sat on a chair, crossing his legs and looking at his nominal brother. In his memory, he had basically no idea about the other person. He didn't seem to have had much contact with him, so he couldn't even talk about dating.
.
But the truth is, the relationship between the two is definitely thicker than water.
Xiang An is a relatively dull person. He is a disciplined disciple taught by his family. His qualifications and cultivation are acceptable, but other than that, there is nothing outstanding about him.
"Why are you nervous when you see me? Logically speaking, I should call you eldest brother." Xiang Que asked in surprise.
Xiang An was stunned for a moment and said naturally: "You are now the junior uncle of Qingshan Sect."
"Then just stand. Why are you here?" Xiang Que asked.
"You offended Chi Cheng"
"Who is Chi Cheng?" Xiang Que asked with a frown.
"The second senior brother who was slapped twice by you, his name is Chi Cheng."
"Well, what's wrong?"
Xiang An was anxious and said worriedly: "He will definitely take revenge on you. This person is very small-minded and will retaliate. Basically, most people in Qingshan Sect will let him. Chi Cheng's grandfather is the Supreme Elder, who used to be in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall.
, there are many disciples in Qingshan Sect who were brought out by his grandfather, even the current Law Enforcement Hall Master Chen."
Xiang Que said calmly: "You have already said that I am now Qingshan's junior uncle, and I am older than him. How do you think he should deal with me? Pointing at the nose, jumping around and scolding me, he is still in Qingshan Sect.
Tell me, come here, let's have a duel, the sword has no eyes, be careful I hurt you, little uncle?"
Xiang An pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "On the surface he doesn't dare, but behind the scenes he will make small moves, and there should be some people who will listen to him."
Xiang Que smiled and said faintly: "When I was doing little tricks, digging holes, and tripping people up, he wasn't even a tadpole swimming around. In this aspect, I am his grandfather's grandfather."
That generation"
"Anyway, I hope you will be more careful..." Xiang An raised his head and said, "It's best not to have any personal grudges with him because of me."
Xiang Que frowned and asked, "What do you mean? The trouble he caused you hasn't passed yet, and he plans to continue to attack you?"
Xiang An sighed and said: "He may have known about my relationship with you, so he naturally didn't want to get those two slaps in vain and wanted to get them back from me, so Chi Cheng has already sued the Law Enforcement Hall to take us
Speaking of Qingshan's battle damage this time, I might have gone to the back mountain to face the wall and been expelled from the inner disciples. Later I heard that Chi Cheng wanted to expel me from Qingshan Sect."
Xiang Que said "Oh", nodded and said, "He showed it to me. He wanted to slap me in the face to avenge those two slaps."
Xiang An shook his head and said: "It's hard for me to explain clearly this time. The group of Qingshan disciples all follow him. Chi Cheng will do whatever he says. All the disciples will testify for him. I can't explain clearly. Law Enforcement Hall
Once we find out, they will definitely take action against me. It's useless for you to stand up for me, Xiang Ping. They will say that you interfered with the Qingshan sect's rules."
"My name is Xiang Que now!"
Xiang An was puzzled.
Xiang Que continued: "Have you forgotten what I said at the foot of the mountain before?"
Xiang An asked blankly: "What did you say?"
"I said, no one can touch a hair on your body. If anyone touches it, they will find it back. If you lose a few hairs, you can find them again. No one is missing..."
Xiang An didn't understand his brother's brain circuit at all, so he said anxiously: "I have no evidence to prove that I am innocent. All the conditions are unfavorable to me. I can't explain it. Even if you are Qingshan's junior uncle, you
It’s useless to look for him, Chen Tingjun is very stubborn, he only recognizes the Qingshan sect’s rules and evidence, and doesn’t care whether you are a junior master or not.”
Xiang Que pointed at him and said, "When did I say that I would use evidence to speak for myself?"
Xiang An was confused.
Xiang Que went on to say: "No evidence is needed, just say whatever you want. Is it okay to be reckless and wallowing? If you don't know how, just take a look at the lazy cat lying next to you and let us talk here.
No matter how loud it is, it lies motionless as if it is dead. Don’t you understand? Then you just refuse to admit it. What nonsense are you talking to them about? Don’t you know the truth that you can’t argue with anyone?”
The Lord Guard gave him a dissatisfied look.
Xiang An was speechless.
Xiang Que waved his hand and said, "You go back, I will go over and take a look tomorrow."
Xiang An hesitated for a moment and asked in confusion: "I know, Xiang Ping, Que, your relationship with your family is not very good, both with my grandfather and my father. Why do you want to help me?"
"Because you are in Qingshan." Xiang Que looked at him, spread his hands and said, "You are in Qingshan, your name is Xiang Ping, and in the eyes of others you are my brother. Everyone knows this, so no matter what you do, others will
Putting my label on your head, some people may not want me to have a good life, so if they make things difficult for you, they are making things difficult for me. If you are expelled from Qingshan Sect, someone will poke my spine and say, look,
Junior uncle Qingshan can't even protect his brother, what kind of uncle is he being?"
Xiang An pursed his lips, and after a long pause, he sighed and said, "Then I still want to thank you!"
"Go slowly, I won't send you off"
Xiang An left, Xiang Que stretched out his hand and pulled Er Hei's head on the table, and said: "People, you can't be too good wherever you go, otherwise it will be destroyed by the wind. I will do it tomorrow."
I want to see the faces of those people, how many people in Qingshan Sect are displeased with me and want to fight against me..."
Xiang Que is very lazy, and with his temperament, he will definitely not take the initiative to stir up trouble, but he certainly doesn't mind, and he must nip things in the bud before they happen.
Xiang Que knew that from the time he entered Qingshan, he was destined to be disliked by many people, because he was indeed very good, whether he jumped into the ranks of true disciples with one sword, or entered the realm of God-seeking in one step, plus
He later became the junior master uncle of Qingshan, which marked that he was destined to rise in the Qingshan Sect.
But as for Xiang Que, he doesn't have any background or connections in Qingshan. He has a rogue cat by his side, but is it useless for catching mice?
As for the lazy leader, if something happens, you will definitely not see his shadow. He will only show up when he has something to eat and drink.
Therefore, the Xiang An incident was an opportunity. He wanted to see who in the Qingshan Sect could speak for him, and who didn't like him.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Qingshan may be a sword to the outside world, but internally, it can also hurt one's own people.
Xiang Que thought, in fact, he was also a sword, not a sword of any kind, but a sword in the hands of some people.
Xiang Que stretched his waist and stood up from the chair. Erhei also stretched his waist and was about to jump on his shoulders to go back to the house. Xiang Que suddenly blocked him back with a slap: "I want you."
