"There is nothing unusual about my subordinate Guan Qi's departure. He stays in his courtyard every day and does not do anything except asking for news from his subordinates. If he really knows something or wants to do harm to the family master, he should not do this."
"Just be afraid, it's even harder to handle him like this..."
"What did the master say?"
"No, just follow my instructions."
"Yes, I am resigning."
But soon, something happened.
It turns out that there have been several murder cases in Muge City these days, and those killed were all disciples of aristocratic families. It's strange that there are members of the He family, the Gong family, and the Ouyang family, but not the Mu family.
At first, no one felt anything, but gradually, rumors spread from unknown sources that the wounds of the murdered disciples were sword marks unique to the Mu family.
This can be regarded as a sudden wave of excitement.
Especially the disciples from the other three families insisted on clamoring for an explanation from the Mu family. Within two days, it was reported that the disciples of the Mu family were fighting with someone outside, and the other party was the He family. The reason was because of this incident.
Soon, the matter spread in Muge City. The rumors became more and more intense, and finally, they reached the point where Mu Tianqi could not ignore them.
He Xingzhou came quickly and threatened to ask the Mu family to give an explanation.
"Master He, if it was really a disciple of my Mu family who did it, why did he use a weapon that represents the disciples of the Mu family? Doesn't this clearly tell everyone that we killed the person? What's more, what's the benefit of doing this?
"
"Then who do you think it will be?"
"I don't know yet, but don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation on this matter."
"I hope so." After saying this, He Xingzhou walked away.
Mu Tianqi's smile dropped.
"Go and investigate immediately! Dig three feet into the ground to find out whoever is behind the scenes!"
If you dare to disturb him, it seems that you really risk your life.
Soon, clues were found and he turned out to be the killer of Jilexuan.
"Bliss Hall?"
"Yes, I heard that someone paid for his life."
"Can you find out who it is?"
"It is the rule of Jilexuan to never reveal the person behind the scenes, so..."
"We must find the person!"
"yes."
…
Dusk City is a hundred miles away.
"Is everything done?"
"It's done, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"One thing is very strange. We obviously only placed six orders at Ji Le Xuan, but there were no less than ten murders in the city. The other party was the same as our target, and was also a disciple of the three major families..."
"really?"
"Absolutely true."
That would be strange. Is there anyone besides them who is dealing with the Mu family?
…
A small town.
Gu Rui came back from outside and carefully closed the door, "Sir, I'm back."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Sir, your token."
Handing over the token, Ling Xuewei took it. This token was given to her by Ye Moyan before.
Jilexuan is the force under his command. Ye Moyan basically told her about his property in Fenglin Mountain before.
After Ling Xuewei learned about the turmoil in Muge City, she roughly guessed the purpose of Qi Guili and others. In this case, she helped them in the dark.
Helping them is also for yourself.
If the three major families have a quarrel with the Mu family, the alliance between them will not be so strong. In fact, originally, the four families came together for profit, and the relationship was already loose. Now, she just lit the fuse. As for the result,
, she will wait and see.
Since that day, although they left Muge City, they have always paid attention to the trends in the city. Lu Qingzhu has been leading people to explore the news, and with the micro bees she left behind, even though they are hundreds of miles away, they still know the developments ahead clearly.
But there were not many monitors left in the Mu family. After that day, nearly 70% of the monitor screens suddenly went black. She knew that they must have been discovered. But fortunately, there were still 30%. These were all set by her at extremely high speeds.
Hidden corner, almost untouched, so hard to spot.
There was one in the courtyard of Qi Guili. Ling Xuewei saw all his movements.
"I didn't expect that this Qi Guili could bear it." Lu Qingzhu sighed as he looked at the monitor screen.
"Mu Tianqi's palace is quite deep. If he couldn't bear it, he might not even be alive today."
However, in order to dispel Mu Tianqi's doubts, he administered such a strong poison to himself and even stabbed himself with such a big gash in his stomach. This man was cruel enough.
"Sir, there is chaos inside Muge City right now. Do we want to add fuel to the fire?" Lu Qingzhu asked.
Ling Xuewei nodded, "Be careful, just fish in troubled waters."
Lu Qingzhu was amused. His young master said it calmly when he said fishing in troubled waters.
As things got worse, Mu Tianqi soon responded.
They found out that the murderer was committed by several guest officials who had been expelled from the Mu family. Because they hated the Mu family for expelling them, they thought of this method to frame the Mu family.
Their bodies were hanged in front of the square in public, which somewhat calmed the public anger.
But everyone with a discerning eye knows that things are not that simple.
Such a big thing cannot be done by a few powerless casual cultivators. However, the four major families originally wanted to settle the matter, not to mention that it is now the key to the alliance of the four major families. At this moment,
Don't let the small lose the big.
But although it calmed down on the surface, there was still a turbulent undercurrent on the inside.
The feud between the four major families has been going on for a long time, and it's not just because of this matter. They have lived in Muge City all year round. As children of aristocratic families, they are arrogant and proud, and it is normal for them to secretly compare themselves.
The Ouyang family is the most arrogant, but the disciples of the other three families are not easy to get along with, especially the Mu family. They have risen too fast recently and are hostile to the other three families. This incident only exposed the secret problems that have always existed in advance.
Just on the surface.
When Mu Tianqi came back, he threw the cup on the floor.
Thinking of how aggressive He Xingzhou and Gongzi were in the hall just now, how could he, Mu Tianqi, have been so passive?
"Have you found the person?" He looked gloomy, and the guards reported nearby, "Master, we have found a clue, it is one hundred and eighty miles outside the city."
He sneered, "Let's go."
Today, he wanted to see who dared to disturb him.
Other courtyard.
Qi Guili slowly opened her eyes.
Eyes like daggers.
He slowly walked to the window, put down the wooden ribs he had propped up, and told the guards outside the door, "I want to rest for a while, so don't disturb me."
"yes."
This was usually his time to rest, so the guards were not surprised.
The door was closed, and only one person was left in the house.
He scratched the palm of his hand and quickly drew in the air. Soon, the whole room was filled with blood-red runes.
As time went by, his face became paler and his breath became weaker... However, he still did not stop.
This is a summoning formation unique to their Yueyue clan. They use their own flesh and blood as sacrifices to summon the undead coming out of the netherworld and purgatory. (To be continued)
