"Oh, if you don't have a backer, you will always be at the mercy of others!"
Qi Zhengyan sighed.
This was exactly what he was worried about. He had no backing in the sect, and he didn't know the character of the elders who came here.
If anything happens here in Yicheng, he will most likely become an abandoned son of the Huanhua Sword Sect. Not only will the incident in Yicheng be unable to be avenged, but he will also be hunted down as a traitor to the Huanhua Sword Sect.
This makes Qi Zhengyan more and more eager to leave the Huanhua Sword Sect. Then he will be free from the constraints!
With the "Demon Prison Mysterious Embryo Sutra", the Demon Lord's inheritance, and the support behind the reincarnation of King Buddha, you will definitely be able to create your own world!
Meng Qi knew that this was a point of pain that Qi Zhengyan didn't want to talk about, so he turned to say:
"Cousin, your uncle is having trouble doing things. Is it because he is timid or for some other reason?"
"Perhaps I'm getting older and thinking about retreat and retirement," Qi Zhengyan guessed.
If you do the main thing to make money, you will definitely get a high score. If you do something in the know, you will also enjoy it. And you don’t dare to go too far or be too blatant, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered. In one year, you can buy dozens of acres of land and build a new house.
, Even if it is good, even if Qi Zhengyan's uncle occupies good fields and shops, since there are no mines, medicine gardens and weapon refining workshops here, there will not be much more than him. Therefore, if you want to give it to him after he gets old and frail.
If your children and grandchildren want to leave a wealthy family, you have to find another way.
"That's right, well, it's also possible that he is old and comatose. He wants to keep things quiet and that he can solve the Tang family's affairs. He is afraid that if he reports it to the police, he will be suspected of being incompetent and be transferred away." Meng Qi nodded lightly.
This kind of action to eliminate the power of the Huanhua Sword Sect will definitely not resort to overt violence. Otherwise, even though the city is backed by the Wang family in Yedu and is quite far away from Sixiu Mountain where the Huanhua Sword Sect is located, the Huanhua Sword Sect will
In order to save face, we have to send people to support us. We can only gather other forces first and squeeze out the Huanhua Sword Sect's forces with uncooperative cold violence.
As a result, the Huanhua Sword Sect can live a decent life. There are only fields, manors and ordinary shops here, which are not important. They often pinch their noses and acquiesce. At most, they blame the boss for being incompetent and not having good dealings with the local forces.
Qi Zhengyan's uncle was willing to take the risk of being punished later, but also wanted to suppress the matter and maintain stability. Apart from his ulterior motives, the only explanation is old and foolish.
Qi Zhengyan nodded, agreeing with Meng Qi's words.
"Anyway, if things show signs of corruption, cousin, please bypass my uncle and reply directly to the door."
Meng Qi ate a lot of meat and drank a lot of wine.
Qi Zhengyan's expressionless face showed a wry smile: "To be honest, if there is no other choice, I don't want to send anyone from the sect."
When the time comes, the person sent to suppress the situation will definitely be strong, and may even be on location. If he later says, "Xiao Qi, you are quite calm in your work, my uncle will show you two moves", or "Xiao Meng, you
The swordsmanship is outstanding and makes people tick. How about I suppress my strength and compete with you in sword competition? Hey, how can you know the golden bell..." This will make things troublesome.
Meng Qi nodded heavily: "If we can solve it ourselves, of course we don't want to disturb the mountain. It's just a last resort and a worrying background."
While they were talking, it suddenly became noisy outside. A clerk knocked on the door and came in, saying in a panic: "Master Qi, people from the Ye family are here to hunt down the murderer!"
He took a peek at Meng Qi with fear, curiosity and awe. Chief Qi's cousin actually killed the Ghost Sword Li Sui without saying a word. He was still in the Ye Mansion. Such strength and courage were too much.
It’s terrible!
Could it be that he came here specifically to avenge his relatives?
Chief Qi’s cousin, what should he be called...
Qi Zhengyan and Meng Qi discussed for a while. At this time, he felt confident. He stood up expressionlessly and said lightly: "Please tell the Ye family later that my cousin has never left the house."
"Yes, Mr. Qi." The waiter replied hurriedly.
Meng Qi did not change his clothes, patted the dust on his body, and followed Qi Zhengyan out of the backyard and outside the shop.
There were dozens of people standing outside the door. Many of them looked like they were highly skilled in martial arts. The leader was a young man in splendid clothes and jade robes. He was twenty-five or six years old. His face was covered with makeup and his eyes were vicious.
Qi Zhengyan's eyes changed slightly when he looked at the person in front of him. Others might not be able to see anything, but he could tell that Mr. Ye in front of him was not simple. He had a trace of evil spirit in him. He was possessed by the person who raised the evil god.
body.
The last time I saw Mr. Ye, he did not have such power, so he must have been bewitched by him at that time, and now his body has been taken over.
Unfortunately, he had no reason to point out that Mr. Ye was not himself at this time. The method of cultivating the evil god was extremely difficult to see through at a glance. Qi Zhengyan knew that if he said it directly, he would not only be criticized by the people in front of him, but also arouse suspicion.
At this time, he was alone in the city, and his uncle was suspected of being bribed. Once he was bitten, his crotch would be rotten with yellow mud, and it would be shit if it wasn't shit!
Mr. Ye didn't know that he had been spotted by Qi Zhengyan. When he saw Meng Qi wearing a green shirt, he pointed directly at him and asked the maids, servants and guests next to him: "Is it him?"
The maids and servants saw Meng Qi's appearance and were speechless. They didn't know how to answer. The young master glared at him and said quickly: "It's him, he killed Mr. Li!"
The young master turned to look at Qi Zhengyan, and said with a serious face: "Master Qi, why did you send someone to sneak into the Ye Mansion and kill my guest? Is this the way the Huanhua Sword Sect does things?"
Qi Zhengyan walked down the steps slowly, his momentum so calm that the young master couldn't help but take a step back. Why, after not seeing him for a few days, Master Qi gave people a completely different feeling.
"You are making up accusations and looking for someone to frame my cousin." Qi Zhengyan said directly and indifferently without asking any questions.
The young master was stunned, and then became furious: "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, you are saying that the accusation is framed?"
"Of course, I personally accompanied my cousin and never left him, right?" Qi Zhengyan turned around and said to the shopkeeper.
His eyes were cold, and the shopkeeper didn't dare not answer: "Yes, Director Qi's cousin has never left Mipu."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Young Master Ye, did you hear that? If you frame my cousin again, don't blame me for being ruthless." Qi Zhengyan looked at Young Master Ye coldly.
Young Master Ye gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter what you say, follow me to see the official!"
"How can an innocent person see an official? Even if he is the magistrate of the county and the arrester comes personally, he can't frame my cousin!" Qi Zhengyan's expression did not change.
"Okay, okay! Catch him and go to Liumen!" Young Master Ye was furious and pointed at Meng Qi.
The master next to him was about to jump out. Qi Zhengyan took a step forward and looked around them:
"This is the land of the Huanhua Sword Sect, do you want to take action?"
He took another step and shouted without any emotion:
"You want to make enemies of our faction?"
"You want to declare war on our faction?"
His momentum was so overwhelming that Young Master Ye and the masters beside him took a few steps back. Only then did they remember the identity of the other party, the leader of the Huanhua Sword Sect!
Just when Young Master Ye wanted to say something, Meng Qi suddenly smiled, looked at him and said, "Young Master Ye, when my cousin's hand and hamstrings were broken, it was you who accused him of Luo Zhi and framed him.
Li Sui?"
Young Master Ye was about to answer, but when he saw Meng Qi's smile without a smile, his heart suddenly became cold. He thought of Li Sui who lived deep in Ye Mansion but was brutally killed. He swallowed hard, snorted coldly, and turned his head.
Then he walked away, walking very fast, as if he was trying to get rid of some evil spirit possessing him.
"Cousin, I'm not afraid. In the future, when you go out, you have to be careful of the Ye family's revenge. After all, they have the clan's most valuable soldiers." Qi Zhengyan warned, worried about Meng Qituo.
Just as Meng Qi was about to answer, there were sounds of crying on the street, but it was a group of people holding a carriage and walking while crying.
"The Wan family?" Qi Zhengyan muttered to himself in confusion and asked a waiter to go over and inquire.
After a while, the clerk returned and said: "Reporting to Chief Qi, Prince Wan was killed on the river, and his bodyguards returned home with his body guarded. It is said that the Second Prince of Tang was also there at the time, but he was injured by an assassin and fell into the water. His life or death is uncertain.
"
When Young Master Wan went out to do business, he naturally had a bodyguard. However, at that time, he felt that there was no need for protection and it was inconvenient to discuss matters with the master Tang Ergong beside him, so he did not call them. After he was killed, the bodyguards came and collected the body.
Returning to the city, they waited until dawn. They first sent someone home to inform them, and after receiving a response, they escorted the body into the city, much slower than Meng Qi.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that you encountered a lot of things in Yicheng!"
A familiar voice rang in the ears of Meng Qi and Qi Zhengyan, causing them to turn around and look behind them in surprise.
At this time, a man and a woman were standing behind them. The man was wearing a black outfit, but it did not look dark and evil at all, but more dignified and noble. The woman was wearing a white skirt and carrying a half-man on her back.
Tall box.
"Brother Shang Huaikong, Miss Ruan, why are you here!?"
Meng Qi shouted in surprise.
Qi Zhengyan's stiff face also showed a hint of surprise.
Shang Yi stepped forward and smiled:
"Yushu and I went out to travel around the world, preparing to go to Yedu for adventure. And last time I saw you in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Space, you seemed a little worried. Anyway, we are also on the way to Yicheng, so we came to take a look!"
Qi Zhengyan was greatly moved when he heard this and said with a smile:
"Thank you!"
Shang Yi shook his head and said:
"Why are you so polite? We are brothers in the same team after all, so there is no need to be so polite!"
Then he looked at the direction that Third Young Master Ye left and the direction of Wanjia's carriage and said:
"It seems that there is an undercurrent surging here in Yicheng! It is raising evil gods and dead people!"
"Raising the Evil God?"
Ruan Yushu and Meng Qi were surprised.
Qi Zhengyan, on the other hand, immediately looked around, not wanting this matter to be exposed like this.
But he was shocked to find that the people around him didn't pay attention to them at all, or in other words, they simply ignored the four of them at this time!
He looked at Shang Yi deeply and said nothing.
Shang Yi wrote to Meng Qi and Ruan Yu:
"Yushu and I came when you just had a confrontation! Don't think that Third Young Master Ye is a dandy, but I'm afraid he has been possessed and replaced by someone who raises the evil god. He is causing trouble in this city and even attracting the attention of the Wang family.
The fight with the Huanhua Sword Sect seems to be a big deal!"
Qi Zhengyan suddenly looked ugly and said:
"Looking at the true energy in his body, I'm afraid he has opened nine orifices. He wants to sacrifice blood to the city and break through the exterior scene in one fell swoop!"
Suddenly, his expression changed again, he looked at Meng Qi and said:
"By the way, Meng Qi, you said that you encountered the Iron-Handed Demon and the Huanxi Demon from the Tian Mie Clan on the boat before? Could this be the Thousand-faced Demon!?"
Ruan Yushu also suddenly said:
"It makes sense. It is said that the Thousand-Faced Man and Demon has thousands of faces. If you are the one who raises the Evil God, you can change your body just like changing your clothes, so you will naturally have thousands of faces!"
Shang Yi nodded, shook his head and said:
"The result is right, the process is wrong!"
Meng Qi said doubtfully:
"Why do you say that?"
Shang Yi smiled and said:
"What a coincidence. Meng Qi saw two demons chasing a woman on the boat before, and was rescued by the Wang family. He also encountered Burenlou assassinating Tang Jing. Isn't it a coincidence that these things all come together?
This Young Master Ye is indeed a man with a thousand faces now. In that case, the people Tie Shou and Huan Xi killed back then should have been Tang Jing and Young Master Wan!
I’m afraid the two demons on the boat are fake, it’s the woman who’s fishing for the Wang family’s fish!”
Meng Qi looked strange and said:
"It's really weird!"
He really didn't expect that something like this would happen in the martial arts world.
Qi Zhengyan said:
"In this case, the two human demons should be hiding in Yicheng and cooperate with the Thousand Faced Human Demon's actions, but I don't know where he will be hiding!"
Meng Qi's lips curled up slightly and he said:
"I have an idea!
Didn’t that Tang Jing return to the city with me? Since there are rumors that he is missing, let Tang Jing go back, then the Thousand-Faced Man and Demon will definitely take action against the Tang family!"
Qi Zhengyan nodded and said:
"Yes, the current situation of the Tang family was caused by the Thousand Faces of Man and Demon. Tang Jing should cooperate with us when he knows about it!"
Meng Qi said:
"I've been walking with him all the way. He doesn't look like the playboy he was back then. He must have transformed in the world and can be trusted more! But he is also a bit mysterious. I think he is quite powerful!"
Qi Zhengyan said:
"Mr. Tang is the eldest member of the clan and has always held the position of head of the family. Mr. Tang himself had three sons and four daughters. His daughters either married into other aristocratic families or into rising forces or sects. One of his sons died of illness and died in danger while traveling around the world.
One, the only remaining master of Tang Dynasty, also lost his temper while practicing kung fu when the second master Tang was young and became obsessed with it and died, leaving only the second master Tang and Miss Tang Jiu."
Meng Qi said:
"Since you are the future head of the family, why didn't the Tang family send a Nine Aperture master to protect you personally?"
Qi Zhengyan said expressionlessly: "As the only grandson of the eldest son, Mr. Tang's second son has been favored by Mr. Tang since he was a child. He has been spoiled like a human being. He is arrogant, domineering, arrogant and extravagant. He has never been able to learn the 'Splitting River Sword Technique' passed down in his family. It's just that
I relied on pills to open my eyesight, but later, because of face, I had a conflict with Mr. Ye San, who was also a playboy, and the two sides agreed to compete in martial arts."
"The Third Young Master Ye stole the Tianshi Diting Pills at home, opened his ear apertures before the competition, and humiliated the Second Young Master Tang with his absolute strength. It is said that he was beaten to the point where he fell to his knees. After this incident, the proud Second Young Master Tang
Feeling that he had no face to see anyone, he quietly left the city while the elders in the family were not paying attention, and wandered around the world without knowing where he was. Mr. Tang was so angry that Mr. Tang was furious. Anyone in the family who dared to mention Mr. Tang or Tang Jing in front of him would be punished with a cane."
Meng Qi nodded lightly: "Mr. Tang is seriously ill. If this bad news reaches his ears, he may not be able to survive for long. Moreover, the position of the head of the family is vacant, and there will be frequent internal fights. I wonder who the Huanhua family wants to support?"
Qi Zhengyan put his hands behind his back and took two steps: "Among the other houses, the only ones who have the ability to compete for the head of the family are Mr. Tang Er, Mr. Tang Wu and Mr. Tang Qi. Mr. Tang Wu has always been on good terms with this sect, and Mr. Lin prefers him."
Then he shook his head again and said:
"But since Mr. Ye is raising the evil god, he may have secretly controlled three families in the city through spiritual magic and puppets. It is precisely because Mr. Tang is seriously ill that the Tang family has dispersed all its efforts and fights endlessly, so he needs to appease the second, fifth and seventh masters of the Tang family one after another.
The Tang family is now in chaos!
Now that Tang Jing has returned, he may be able to muddy the waters in Yicheng. Then..."
Shang Yi said with a smile:
"I don't know anything else, but Xiao Meng, your hall is dark, and I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster! You must have killed Li Sui, and this Third Master Ye will find a way to attack you!"
Meng Qi frowned and said:
"It's possible, but we just don't know which company will take action!"
Shang Yi said:
"Isn't it that the Tang family is what you are most concerned about right now? So it is very likely that someone from the Tang family will take action!"
Then he looked at Qi Zhengyan and said:
"After all, this city is the trump card of the Huanhua Sword Sect and the Wang family. Yushu and I are new here, so we won't do anything to avoid arousing the hostility of the two major forces. You can take action and blame anything on me directly!"
Shang Yi did not intend to take action directly. After all, Tang Jing, a chess piece of the Tang family, had already been cultivated and would have to go through some trials before he could be of great use.
However, the blood sacrifice of the thousand-faced demon raising the evil god is indeed harmful to the world, so Shang Yi still plans to stay here for a few days to avoid any accidents. By the way, he can also bring Ruan Yushu with him to visit the special delicacies here and different piano scores.
