The five heroes of Koto have great senses about Qiu Dongmao.
In their opinion, Qiu Dongmao was humble, polite, and a loving and filial person. Except for his slightly lower strength, he was far better than Qiu Zhensheng's eldest son Qiu Dongning.
They got along well on the way to Jeju Prefecture, so when Qiu Dongmao asked to go to Moliu City, they agreed to Qiu Dongmao without hesitation. Under Qiu Dongmao's urging, they even asked why Qiu Dongmao was so
I didn't even ask in a hurry.
At this time, Wu Tiandong asked, and others looked at Qiu Dongmao with curious eyes.
Facing everyone's gaze, Qiu Dongmao did not panic. After such a long time, he had already thought of an excuse.
Qiu Dongmao sighed and said: "Actually, when Jiang Wenyuan died, I guessed the cause of my father's death, because my father was not killed by Jiang Wenyuan at all, but died of internal fighting in the Eastern Qi royal family.
As the owner of Pegasus Ranch, my father is very important to Dong Qi, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince both want to recruit my father.
It's just that my father attaches great importance to rules. His Royal Highness is the Crown Prince, so he naturally wants to stand by His Royal Highness.
As a result, the second prince was resentful. Not only did he send people to kill my father, but he also invited Chu Xiu from the Guanzhong Punishment Hall to turn the story upside down.
Chu Xiu had secretly come to Zhuangzi before and secretly contacted Fang Zhenqi, the general of the Dragon Cavalry Forbidden Army, and that Fang Zhenqi belonged to the second prince!
You all know what happened next. Under the Second Prince's machinations, King Anle Jiang Wenyuan was killed, and His Majesty the Crown Prince reprimanded and ordered him to go into seclusion. However, it was the Second Prince and Chu Xiu who really benefited.
Everyone knows King Anle's reputation. He is a kind-hearted man and a courteous corporal. How could he collude with the devil and kill my father? All of these are just excuses.
Now King Anle is dead, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has suffered heavy losses. I am worried that the Second Prince's men are colluding with Chu Xiu and will take action against me, so I leave in a hurry and want to go to Mo Liu City.
That is the fiefdom of His Highness the Crown Prince, and it is protected by many experts under His Royal Highness. Neither the Second Prince nor Chu Xiu dare to mess around."
Qiu Dongmao is a talented person. In a short period of time, he came up with these excuses and completely reversed the whole thing.
What he said is all true, but everyone's position has changed completely, so it seems extremely true.
And thinking about what happened during this period, what Qiu Dongmao said was not wrong. The prince was indeed reprimanded and reflected. Chu Xiu did come to Zhuangzi that day and had a secret meeting with Fang Zhenqi. They all saw it.
There is also Jiang Wenyuan. His reputation in the Eastern Qi martial arts world is really not small. The most important thing is that Jiang Wenyuan's reputation as Corporal Lixian is very great. At least for most casual warriors, King Anle is indeed a person worth following.
people.
The Five Heroes of Jiangdong also admired Jiang Wenyuan's reputation. If they hadn't inspired them to do heroic deeds and help those in need, they might have joined Jiang Wenyuan's command.
This time they heard that it was Chu Xiu who killed Jiang Wenyuan, and their disgust towards Chu Xiu deepened.
It's just that because the Eastern Qi court publicized that Jiang Wenyuan was colluding with the devil, Chu Xiu killed Jiang Wenyuan to eliminate harm for the martial arts world. This gave them no excuse to even scold Chu Xiu secretly. But now, listening to Qiu Dongmao, all this is not the case.
It's all a conspiracy between the second prince and Chu Xiu.
The Five Heroes of Jiangdong looked at each other in shock. They did not expect that things would change like this, and that Qiu Zhensheng's death would actually involve the internal strife of the Dong Qi royal family.
Several of them were from casual cultivators, and their strength was considered good, but they had never seen any big scenes. They had only heard of this kind of drama of royal infighting in the drama, but they did not expect that they would encounter it.
.
Cheng Buqi sighed: "Master Qiu, I would like to express my condolences. I only regret that we are incapable of avenging our benefactor."
According to what Qiu Zhensheng said, the real murderer was the second prince, but it was impossible for them to really kill the second prince of Dong Qi and then be hunted all over the world, right?
Besides, even if they have the heart, they don't have the strength.
Qiu Dongmao shook his head with red eyes and said: "Don't worry, Master Cheng. His Highness the Crown Prince is a generous man. When His Highness the Crown Prince comes to Dabao in the future, he will help my father to avenge him."
Cheng Buji nodded, glanced at the sky and said, "It's not too late. If I remember correctly, there is an inn ahead. Let's go and have a rest first."
Qiu Dongmao thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
He was very anxious when he left a few days ago, fearing that Chu Xiu would find out about him.
But now he heard from some travelers passing by that the Dong Qi royal family had concluded the case and confirmed that Qiu Zhensheng was killed by Jiang Wenyuan. If this was the case, did it mean that he was temporarily safe?
Moreover, he didn't see anyone chasing him in the past few days, which made Qiu Dongmao breathe a sigh of relief and it was time to take a rest.
Cheng Buqi and others have the strength to reach the Five Qi Chaoyuan Realm and the Three Flowers Gathering Top Realm. Let alone traveling for several days in a row, even a month is not a problem.
But Qiu Dongmao is only in the blood coagulation realm, and his own strength is also very weak. Traveling for several days in a row has already become a bit too much for him.
After walking along the official road for less than an hour, there was indeed a small inn next to it.
Cheng Buqi and others pushed the door open and went in. There were not many people there, only some merchants on their way and some independent cultivators traveling around the world.
Seeing Cheng Buqi and others coming in, the eyes of the Jianghu people in the inn suddenly lit up. Several people took the initiative to come over and bowed their hands and said, "May I ask if the Five Heroes of Jiangdong are in person?"
Cheng Buqi and the other five people smiled and cupped their hands and said, "Exactly."
Qiu Dongmao frowned slightly behind him. He still didn't want him and others to reveal their whereabouts. If someone really followed them behind the scenes, it would be easy to learn their whereabouts from these casual warriors.
But now Cheng Buqi and others have spoken, and he can't stop them.
When the casual cultivators heard this, they were immediately overjoyed and said, "I have long heard of the name of the Five Heroes of Jiangdong. When I saw them today, these five heroes are indeed extraordinary. We are truly lucky."
As he said that, several people immediately started complimenting him.
Cheng Buqi and the other five people are not only famous in Jiangdong, but also in Dongqi.
Moreover, the five of them are so distinctive that they are easily recognized by others.
Some of these casual cultivators are not even in the innate realm. If they go to say hello to other warriors in the Three Flowers Gathering Realm or the Five Qi Chaoyuan Realm, they probably won't even want to pay attention to them, but Cheng Buhe and others are also from casual cultivators.
, he doesn’t have so many bad habits, but his attitude is very kind, and he greets everyone one by one.
Seeing the attitude of Cheng Buqi and others, the casual warriors present also admired in their hearts. They are indeed worthy of being one of the Five Heroes of Jiangdong. This temperament alone is different from other warriors.
After chatting with the warriors present, Cheng Bushi immediately ordered a bunch of food and asked the innkeeper to open a few upper rooms for them, preparing to take a rest after eating.
However, just when they were about to finish their meal, the door of the inn was suddenly pushed open, and a cold breath with the smell of blood suddenly drifted into the door, making everyone present couldn't help but shiver.
"Qiu Dongmao, you do have a great appetite. Your father's body is still cold and he has not been buried yet. You are very generous if you don't go to bury him and still have the thought to eat here."
A figure stepped into the inn, and his black clothes seemed to blend into the night outside. Even the long knife on his waist was surrounded by pitch-black demonic energy, exuding a feeling of deathly silence.
"Chu Xiu!"
Qiu Dongmao screamed and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground.
When everyone present heard the word Chu Xiu, they couldn't help but tremble.
Today they not only saw the Five Heroes of Jiangdong, whose chivalrous reputations are all over Dong Qi, but they also saw Chu Xiu, who was very famous in the land of Dong Qi. What day was it today, and how did they attract all these people?
The Divine Weapon Conference has just passed not long ago, and the things Chu Xiu did in Jeju Mansion are still being circulated in the land of Dong Qi. It is even an exaggeration to say that his reputation in Dong Qi is greater than that in Guanzhong.
.
The moment he saw Chu Xiu, Cheng Buyi immediately pulled out the heavy sword behind him. The other four people also drew their weapons and looked at Chu Xiu with wary expressions.
Looking at the Five Heroes of Jiangdong, Chu Xiu said calmly: "Do you know who you are protecting now?
That was a guy who even dared to poison his own father and wanted to kill his own brother to gain power. He could be described as ruthless.
Qiu Zhensheng's case is not over yet. Although Qiu Zhensheng died in the hands of Jiang Wenyuan, Mr. Qiu was indispensable to add fuel to the flames from behind.
Now, on behalf of Guanzhong Punishment Hall and the Eastern Qi court, I want to arrest him and bring him to justice. You protect him, but you want to disobey the orders of the Eastern Qi court?"
Wu Tiandong heard this and sneered: "Chu Xiu, we already know the truth of the matter. It's okay to fool others with your high-sounding reasons, but don't try to fool us!"
Cheng Buqi also said in a deep voice: "Chu Xiu, you have to be merciful and merciful. You have obtained enough by cooperating with the second prince. King Anle is dead, and His Majesty the Crown Prince has also been punished. You have obtained enough."
rewarded.
Now Mr. Qiu no longer poses any threat to you, he is just the last trace of my benefactor’s blood, do you have to kill them all?”
Hearing the specious words of Cheng Buqi and others, Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiu Dongmao.
This guy 100% said something to the Five Heroes of Jiangdong, otherwise the five of them would not have this attitude.
Qiu Dongmao looked at Chu Xiu without fear at this time. He was not afraid that Chu Xiu would tell the truth.
First of all, there is no need to doubt whether the five Jiangdong Five Heroes believe in him, who has always been getting along very well with them, or whether they believe in Chu Xiu, who is notorious and has had conflicts with them.
