Fushou Building is the most famous restaurant run by the Central Plains people in Bishui City. Many business deals that can affect the Central Plains of Miao territory were negotiated in this building.
But today, the Fushou Building, which used to be bustling with traffic, was uncharacteristically deserted. Someone had reserved the entire building for a banquet, but only one table was occupied by guests.
The thundercloud named Xiangyun Company was entrenched in the sky above the entire Bishui City, and its roaring roar was an announcement of the coming storm.
For many years, there has been an established rule in Bishui City. Generally, if a well-known force wants to retaliate relentlessly against another force, it will hold a banquet, but will not entertain guests, because these drinks and dishes are all
It was decided in advance for the dead. It was a decent way of declaring war between businessmen, and it was called the Soul Feast.
Today, Xiangyun not only held a soul-death banquet, but also invited representatives of all the prominent forces in Bishui City.
Last night, a group of thieves attacked the Lingyue Clan's team in a frantic manner. More importantly, there was also a figure like the Master of the Xiangyun Hao among them. The murderer has not been identified yet, but the Xiangyun Hao's attitude is already very clear.
, until death.
The big guys who were invited were also looking at their noses and hearts, and no one came out to make themselves uncomfortable. Although they were sure that they did not do this crazy thing, they were not sure whether it was done by another person here, so
They all kept quiet tacitly.
The person who presided over this soul-destroying banquet was Gu Xu, the boss of Xiangyun. On weekdays, everyone respectfully called him Mr. Gu.
Gu Xu swept away everyone present and raised a cup of tea: "The Xiangyun Hao will definitely investigate what happened last night. Gu asked you all to come today and I have one thing to ask for. The thieves should have arrangements in the city. I hope you will do it."
It’s convenient.”
This was said in a arrogant tone, and it was worse than directly saying that the traitor might be hiding in the city. If we search your territory, you should hold your nose and endure it just because you consider the difference between your own weight and Xiangyun Hao.
However, because everyone is well aware of Xiangyun's strength, even if they have already cursed in their hearts, they still say "definitely" and "please be polite".
Of course, it is impossible for the Xiang Yunhao family alone to make everyone in Bishui City shorter than everyone else. The main reason why everyone agreed so readily was because the Lingyue Clan was also involved.
Even though Xiang Yun managed to save his life, not one of the hundreds of Lingyue tribe members was spared, and the big shopkeeper Bai Mo also died on the spot.
Today, the person in charge of the Lingyue Clan is Qingyou, who said nothing during the whole process. He only said at the end that Lingyue would work with Xiangyun to track down the murderer.
Soul-destroying banquets are never a good place for conversation. Everyone was on pins and needles and wanted to leave as soon as possible, so after Gu Xu and Qingyou left the banquet, everyone left one by one.
Qingyou and Gu Xu walked outside the building. When they parted, he said: "I don't have enough manpower now. Mr. Gu, if you find anything, please send someone to inform us. Please."
Gu Xu agreed: "Don't worry, Manager Qingyou. This matter concerns both your family and mine. Gu will do his best to investigate."
"Thank you Mr. Gu."
"Manager Qingyou is so polite."
Watching Gu Xu leave, Qingyou sneered without leaving a trace, and immediately called the clansman responsible for driving him and said: "I'm going out for a while, you all should be careful."
"Brother Qingyou, is it too dangerous for you to go out alone?" the young man asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I know it well," Qingyou said nonchalantly, and then he whispered to the man: "Remember, if you find a disciple of the Beggar Clan in the city, you must keep an eye on it."
The young man said in surprise: "Brother Qingyou, you are saying that the murderer this time is actually..."
"Keep your voice down."
Qingyou glared at him, and then pretended to be mysterious: "I have discovered important clues, and I will be able to catch their flaws soon. You must remember not to leak the news. I will tell you everything when I come back."
After that, he stopped talking nonsense with the young man and left alone.
Naturally, it was impossible for Qingyou to find any so-called "clues". After all, as the person responsible for the secret planning, he knew early on that it was the Jin Yiwei who had done it, but they wanted to pass the blame for the murder to the Beggar Gang.
Qingyou doesn't have to think about what the big shot thinks. He has now climbed up the ranks of Jinyiwei. Apart from Bai Mo and his group of supporters, it is only a matter of time before he takes control of Lingyue Trading Company. With the help of the imperial court, he is one of the elders.
The position is not out of reach.
With this vision for the future, Qingyou quickly arrived at the agreed-upon location outside the city. Two adults from the Imperial Guard were already waiting for him.
He quickly put away his messy thoughts and stepped forward to bow and salute: "I have met you two adults."
"Well, you're here."
"Humph, it's a waste of time."
The voice of one of them made Qingyou a little strange. Qingyou said in fear: "Today, Gu Xu from Xiangyun is hosting a funeral banquet, and I am also invited, so I am a little late, so I also invite two adults.
Forgive me."
These two Jinyi guards were Bian Guang and Ying Wushang. When they heard the name Xiangyun Hao, they looked at each other without any trace, and then Ying Wushang said: "I will spare you this time and come with us."
"Yes, thank you sir." Qingyou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly followed Ying Wushang.
The three of them galloped all the way to a wilderness. Bian Guang found a hiding place to hide, and Ying Wushang took Qingyou to hide in another place.
Just when Qingyou was confused, a group of people came not far away. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be members of the Beggar Clan. Before he could figure out the situation, Bian Guang came out of the darkness.
"Elder, be careful!"
A disciple of the Beggar Clan caught sight of Bian Guang, who was coming to kill with his sword, and hurriedly warned him.
There were two elders of the beggar sect at the head. One of them stared hard, turned around and punched the sword, hitting the sword with a fist like a copper hammer. Not only did it leave no trace of blood, but it also pushed Bian Guang several feet away.
"The one who wields the sword? Humph, it seems you are the one. You dare to provoke me, the Beggar Clan, even with this little skill. You should die!" The elder glanced at Guang's sword over there, yelled, and punched him.
At this time, the other elder was not in a hurry to take action because he saw that Na Bianguang did not seem to have the upper hand.
"You're not ashamed of your words." Bian Guang sneered and used a sword trick to attack again.
The two of them fought together, relying on the sharpness of their weapons, Bian Guang attacked repeatedly, but unfortunately he was not good at using a sword. The elder of the Beggar Clan used his fists and feet at the same time, and beat him vigorously with a flurry of moves, and soon suppressed him in turn.
.
This is Hun Tian Kung. The martial arts of the Beggar Clan mostly emphasizes "from the outside in", and the martial arts practiced by the disciples are mainly external Kung Fu. This elder is the best among them, and his kung fu with fists and feet is extremely powerful.
Bian Guang was already a little overwhelmed at this moment, and Ying Wushang knew it was time to take action. If he continued to fight, he would not be able to hide the flaw in his swordsmanship.
He said to Qingyou beside him: "I will stop the other elder of the Beggar Clan in a while, and you will take the opportunity to sneak attack with Gu magic. Do you understand?"
"The villain understands."
Qingyou nodded repeatedly, and Ying Wushang found the right moment to suddenly attack, raising his sword and stabbing the elder of the Beggar Clan who was fighting with Bian Guang.
"Elder Wu, be careful!" Another elder of the Beggar Clan changed his expression and kicked away Ying Wushang's sword.
Ying Wushang also followed the trend, pretended to give in, and fought with Elder Quan.
His sword skills were wide open and closed, and he slashed down with infinite force. A trace of surprise flashed in Elder Quan's eyes, why did he feel that this man was using the sword as a knife.
However, when facing the enemy in battle, there is no time to think about whether these things are present or not. Elder Quan also used the Huntian Kung Fu, and the combination of fists and kicks together with Ying Wushang can be regarded as a difference between each other.
At this time, Qingyou finally found the opportunity to rush out, holding a finger formula in his hand, and quickly slapped Elder Wu on the back.
Green light spots were blasted out along with a fierce palm wind. Elder Wu happened to be dragged by Bian Guang from the front, and the palm hit him directly.
"Elder Wu!"
"Thieves, don't hurt anyone behind your back!"
Elder Quan over there saw it and was anxious in his heart, and quickly used all his strength to fight off Ying Wushang. The latter stopped when he saw the situation and directly used his strength to retreat.
"let's go!"
Seeing that Qingyou succeeded, Bian Guang stopped acting. He raised his sword and pushed away the green-faced elder Wu, and retreated with Ying Wushang using his Qinggong.
A group of Beggar Clan disciples were furious. Just as they were about to chase after them, Elder Quan stopped them: "Stop chasing! Be careful to lure the tiger away from the mountain! Take Elder Wu back to heal his wounds first!"
Seeing that Elder Wu's condition was deteriorating rapidly, several people did not dare to delay and immediately lifted him up and evacuated towards Bishui City.
On the other side, Bian Guang and Ying Wushang, who had successfully escaped, did not take a direct detour back to Bishui City, but stopped at the official road.
Qingyou followed up nervously and asked worriedly: "Sir, the villain has used the life-seeking Gu to plot against him, why not take the opportunity to kill the elder of the Beggar Clan?"
"no need."
Bian Guang and Ying Wushang secretly exchanged glances, and the latter suddenly summoned his eight successful powers and struck the unsuspecting Qingyou with a palm, immediately severing half of the opponent's meridians.
Qingyou's body broke and flew upside down like a kite. He fell on the official road and stained the white snow all over the ground. He raised his head in horror: "Sir, why?! That master promised me——!"
"The Lingyue clan treats you well, but you are seeking glory for betraying the master. Today you betray the Lingyue clan for your position of power, and tomorrow you can betray my Jin Yiwei for your wealth and life. Now you have no use value, why should I keep you?"
.”
Bian Guang sneered and kicked Qingyou, killing his life. Seeing that his head tilted and he completely lost his breath, the two quickly left.
