At the entrance of the Xingtang headquarters, Chu Xiu and other warriors who were preparing to go to Dong Qi had already gathered.
Among them, Chu Xiu, Chu Xiaode and Zhong Ping were not very familiar with each other. After meeting, the two parties just said hello to each other.
Cheng Zhouhai, who had fought against Chu Xiu before and was convinced by Chu Xiu, smiled and said: "Brother Chu, we have met again. You are indeed the one who can defeat me. I knew you would definitely be able to defeat me at the Divine Weapon Conference."
Make a name for yourself.”
Zhong Ping on the side said coldly: "There are many people who can defeat you, but they may not all become famous in the Divine Weapon Conference."
Cheng Zhouhai shrugged at Chu Xiu and said, "It's really boring to deal with people like this who can't joke. Brother Chu, Hall Master asked you to lead the team in this case. Is there any news?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "I heard about it once, but I only know some general information. Besides, I'm not good at this, so I have to rely on you all."
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Cheng Zhouhai and Chu Xiaode both felt a fondness for Chu Xiu.
They knew that neither Zhong Ping nor Chu Xiu were good at detecting traces, but because Chu Xiu was the most famous and powerful, the hall leader still let Chu Xiu lead the team.
Cheng Zhouhai was afraid that Chu Xiu would act in his own way and let an outsider command an expert, which would make the case difficult to handle.
The Dongqi royal family attaches great importance to this case, and if the task is successfully completed, the reward will not be less. However, if the task is failed, it will not only damage their reputation in Guanzhong Punishment Hall, but they will also be punished when they return.
As a result, it now seems that Chu Xiu is still very measured. He knows that professional people should be hired to do professional things.
At this time, a warrior in his thirties from the Waigang realm came over from afar. He cupped his hands and smiled apologetically at everyone present: "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm a little late."
Cheng Zhouhai secretly sent a message to Chu Xiu: "This guy is Yin Botong's new disciple Wang Qianping. Brother Chu, be careful about this guy. He is famous for his smiling face.
Last time you eliminated Li Tianhao, why did Yin Botong want to recruit a disciple to support his appearance? Wang Qianping's strength is mediocre, but his methods are extremely ruthless. He has defeated several competitors, and he is good at it.
After flattering him, he became Yin Botong's disciple."
At this time, Wang Qianping came closer, bent down to Chu Xiu and held his hands in front of him, with a very low attitude: "This must be Mr. Chu Xiu, right? Mr. Chu is indeed the number one among the younger generation of our Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
He is the most outstanding warrior of his level. With Master Chu leading this mission, it must be a piece of cake and can be completed easily."
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Qianping.
Logically speaking, he was a disciple of Yin Botong, and his attitude towards Chu Xiu should have been hostile. However, this guy's attitude was extremely low, and he even seemed to be flattering.
But in fact, his little thoughts were seen through by Chu Xiu at a glance. This man was indeed as Cheng Zhouhai said, a smiling tiger.
On the surface, he was complimenting Chu Xiu and saying a lot of good things to Chu Xiu. However, Cheng Zhouhai, Chu Xiaode and Zhong Ping around Chu Xiu were also outstanding figures of the younger generation in Guanzhong Punishment Hall. Wang Qianping said this intentionally.
Wanting to praise and kill Chu Xiu made Cheng Zhouhai and others feel dissatisfied and resentful towards Chu Xiu.
But his calculation was in vain. Even after hearing what they said, Cheng Zhouhai and others were not unconvinced.
It's not that they are all generous-minded, but Chu Xiu has already shown overwhelming strength during the competition. He is the first person of the younger generation in Guanzhong Punishment Hall. This is all true. What's good about them?
Jealous?
Wang Qianping didn't see that battle, so he is still playing these little tricks in front of Chu Xiu, which is simply ridiculous.
At this time, Chu Xiu kept looking at Wang Qianping like this without saying anything.
It wasn't until Wang Qianping looked at him that he felt a little scared, and then he said calmly: "This task was arranged by the hall master himself, and the other party is also from the Dong Qi royal family. You told me that such a big thing is a piece of cake, with such an attitude
How can you complete the task if you are slacking off? Do you need me to tell the hall master to find someone else?"
Wang Qianping's expression changed slightly, and he said with a sneer: "Master Chu was joking, I was just saying it casually. When we get to the actual place, we should naturally investigate rigorously and complete the task as soon as possible."
After knocking Wang Qianping, Wang Jin, the deputy manager of the Printing Department, also arrived with his people.
Chu Xiu cupped his hands at Wang Jinyi and said, "I've met Mr. Wang."
Seeing the aura of Chu Xiu and others, Wang Jin nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are Chu Xiu, right? Well, that's right. Since Hall Master Guan has handed everything over to you, our family also believes in Hall Master Guan.
With your vision, investigate the case as soon as possible so that we can report it to His Majesty when we go back, and the rewards you can get will not be small."
Chu Xiu cupped his hands and said: "Prince, please rest assured, professional matters must be left to professional people. Our Guanzhong Punishment Hall is absolutely professional in this aspect."
Wang Jin nodded and said, "Okay, let's leave now."
With that said, a group of people directly mounted their horses and rushed to Dongqi as fast as possible.
On the way, Chu Xiu also asked Wang Jin: "Eunuch Wang, Qiu Zhensheng was killed, what clues did Dong Qi find immediately?"
Cheng Zhouhai and others also listened attentively. Chu Xiu also asked this question for them. After all, they are really good at this kind of thing.
Wang Jin shook his head and said: "There are almost no clues. Although Qiu Zhensheng is the owner of Pegasus Ranch, he cannot live in the ranch, but in a village around the ranch.
Moreover, Qiu Zhensheng was a simple man and did not like luxury. He had no disciples. There were only his wife, son, and five servants in Zhuangzi to attend to their daily life. As a result, they were all killed overnight. Three days later, Fei Fei
The people at Ma Ranch were surprised that Qiu Zhensheng had not shown up for so long, and when they came to Zhuangzi to look for him in person, they discovered that he was already dead."
"Does Qiu Zhensheng have any enemies?" Chu Xiu asked again.
Wang Jin shook his head and said: "A feud between Jianghu and Jianghu is the most likely possibility. People from Dong Qi have also investigated it, but there is no clue at all.
Before Qiu Zhensheng joined me in Dong Qi, to put it bluntly, he was just a horse dealer, half a charlatan and half a businessman. He was also kind to others and had a very good reputation.
It is said that when some Jianghu people were so poor that they couldn't even afford a horse, Qiu Zhensheng would offer it to them without taking any penny.
Later, Qiu Zhensheng joined our Dong Qi court, and our Dong Qi court was even more generous with its own people. Qiu Zhensheng's strength increased greatly, and the scale of Pegasus Ranch also increased greatly.
From then on, Qiu Zhensheng will also help some people from the Jianghu community who come to Pegasus Ranch to make good friends. As long as he can help and does not violate the moral principles of the Jianghu community, Qiu Zhensheng will generally not refuse.
In our family's opinion, Qiu Zhensheng is truly benevolent and righteous, at least more benevolent and righteous than Beiyan's Lao Shizi Juyi Village.
Over the years, many people have received kindness from Qiu Zhensheng, but if they say they have a grudge against him, I really can't find them."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows. He really didn't expect that Qiu Zhensheng's reputation was so good.
It's just that in the original plot, Zhong Qiu Zhensheng became famous because of the exercise he accidentally obtained.
After all, Qiu Zhensheng's talent and strength can only be considered mediocre. Although Pegasus Ranch is not small, it is still a horse breeder in the final analysis.
As a result, Qiu Zhensheng stepped into the realm of martial arts master by relying on a single skill. It can be imagined that this skill is powerful, so most people focused on that skill.
This time Chu Xiu also had some doubts that Qiu Zhensheng's death was related to this technique, and he just hoped that it had nothing to do with it, otherwise Chu Xiu's trip would be in vain this time.
Half a month later, Chu Xiu and others arrived at Jeju Prefecture, but instead of entering the prefecture, they went directly to Zhuangzi where Qiu Zhensheng was located.
Pegasus Ranch is on a plain to the east of Jeju Prefecture. Qiu Zhensheng’s village is not far from Pegasus Ranch. It is a small mountain villa. It is just like what Wang Jin said. Qiu Zhensheng is a very simple man.
.
For example, Chu Xiu had seen the Luo family's mansion in their Jianzhou Prefecture. It was definitely a hundred times more luxurious than Qiu Zhensheng's Zhuangzi.
As a result, Qiu Zhensheng, a great master in the realm of unity between man and nature, lives in a place like this, and it is really simple to the extreme. Especially since the property of Pegasus Ranch can even be said to be richer than that of a sect.
After stepping into Zhuangzi, there was a burst of noise inside, and Wang Jin suddenly frowned.
At this time, in Zhuangzi's courtyard, a young man in his twenties was facing a middle-aged warrior wearing armor and said angrily: "My lord, as a son of man, now that my father is dead, I
Don’t you even have the right to see a corpse and worship it?”
The middle-aged warrior wearing armor had a cold look on his face. He himself had the cultivation level of the unity of heaven and man. Hearing this, he just said coldly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiu. I've been given instructions from above."
No one can touch the body until the people from the Guanzhong Punishment Hall arrive. Even this Zhuangzi has been taken over by our Dragon Cavalry Forbidden Army, and no one can act rashly!"
The young man had a look of grief and anger on his face. There were five warriors beside him, four men and one woman. They were not weak at all. Three Five Qi Dynasty Yuan and two Three Flowers Gathering Stage were all trying to comfort them at this time.
Looking at the young man.
Wang Jin walked in and frowned: "It's so noisy, what's going on?"
Seeing everyone's gaze, Wang Jin said to Chu Xiu: "This is Fang Zhenqi, the commander of the Po Feng Battalion of the Dragon Cavalry Forbidden Army. He is also the person sent by His Majesty to assist in this case."
Looking at the Fang Zhenqi, Chu Xiu could not help but reveal a strange look in his eyes, because in order to escape from the pursuit of the Heavenly Sin Helmsman, he used to pretend to be the Dragon Rider Forbidden Army, using the Po Feng Camp's flag.
Token.
Those dragonriding imperial soldiers who died in the Chu family in the past were all from the Po Feng camp, including Chu Xiu's cheap dad.
But Chu Xiu didn't expect to meet the real master today.
