The night wind blew through the long street, and the summer wind was not biting. Seeing Ji Longshan's nearly broken body, everyone could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.
The giant man, who was about ten feet tall, seemed to be less than seven feet tall at this time. Most of his flesh and blood had rotted into mud. The strong smell of sulfur made people frown.
"died."
Xiao Xian let out a long breath.
This is nonsense.
How could he not die from such a serious injury?
"Master Yu..."
Chu Xuan raised his hand to say hello.
"Old man, let's go."
Yu Fengxian, however, was not even interested in looking at him. He cupped his hands towards Xu Wenji, held his sword backwards and left.
"...Master Yu is still so true-hearted."
Henry Chu's face was slightly stiff, but he quickly calmed down and looked at Xu Wenji: "The boss's methods are really amazing..."
"He died from the backlash of his magical power."
Xu Wenji leaned over and looked at it, shaking his head slightly with a sigh in his tone:
"The more powerful the magical power is, once it is broken, the stronger the backlash will be. Doing it forcefully will lead to death..."
Only if it can be reached without human power can it be called magical power.
Unlike martial arts, magical powers are beyond common sense. For example, Ji Longshan's previous body was like a hundred-refined black iron, invulnerable to weapons and weapons.
Human beings are made of flesh and blood, and no matter how powerful they are, it is impossible to reach this level.
But the promotion of magical powers also has its own consumption.
Moreover, once someone breaks it, there will be a powerful backlash.
"It's hard to survive because of the backlash of magical power. After all, it has no foundation and cannot control the details. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this..."
Fang Qidao's eyes moved, showing no emotion or anger:
"What a pity, such magical powers..."
The moment he saw the golden light, he already knew that Jilong Mountain would not be spared.
With the supernatural power he has shown, even if it is broken, his life should not be hurt. However, he obviously has not reached the state where his magical power is broken but he is not harmed.
Not to mention Ji Longshan, even the man who was the True Word Taoist back then...
Scanning the messy streets, Xu Wenji looked at Fang Qidao, Chu Xuan and the others:
"Everyone, why don't you leave? Mr. Fang, does he still have the thought of recruiting peace at this time?"
His tone was calm, but Henry Chu and others could not help but change their expressions slightly.
"I'll take my leave."
Only Fang Qidao looked as usual and said goodbye.
Chu Xuan and others wanted to say something else, but seeing Xu Wenji's cold expression, they couldn't say anything, so they had to say goodbye sadly.
Soon, there were only a few Jin Yiwei and thousands of households left on the street.
"Sir?"
A Qianhu bowed slightly:
"The four major families are not trustworthy. This is just a simple way, but it also hides dangers. We must deal with it in advance..."
The others also nodded.
Although the four major families and Fang Qidao did not take advantage of what happened today, they all exposed a lot, especially Fang Qidao. His sudden appearance must have some agenda.
Naturally, no one believed what he said about ‘recruiting people’.
Although Liumen has the authority to recruit people from the martial arts world, only the state government has the right to report to the imperial court and discuss the recruitment of bandit chiefs like Ji Longshan.
"I have my own plans."
Xu Wenji didn't seem to care, and asked a few people to clean up the battlefield and bury Jilong Mountain.
The others nodded in agreement.
…
After walking through a few streets, before returning home, the faces of Henry Chu and others had turned ashen.
"Fang Qidao cannot be trusted!"
Lin Xingchen's eyes flashed.
Everyone else was silent.
This time, although Ji Longshan was eliminated, he also greatly offended Xu Wenji.
"Xu Wenji..."
Henry Chu took a deep breath, feeling regret in his heart.
If I had known this, it would have been better to cooperate with Xu Wenji before. Now after some operations, it is of no use at all, and it also has an additional armor-breaking talisman.
Although there is no clue left, after today, it can be regarded as breaking up...
"Everyone, do you still want to hide this from Xiao?"
Xiao Xian stopped and looked at the other three people coldly:
"My Xiao family has lost only a few people, are you going to expel me from the ranks of the four families?"
"Brother Xiao, what are you talking about?"
Lin Xingchen shook his head slightly and said:
"We really don't have much connection with that Fang Qidao. It's just that he came to ask for an armor-breaking talisman. In return, we can kill that kid Yang Yu for Brother Chu.
Just to avenge Mulin Mansion."
"That's it?"
Xiao Xian was doubtful.
The others nodded, indicating that they had nothing to hide.
Xiao Xian's expression softened, but it was still a little ugly:
"The reason why Xu Wenji didn't take action against us is that we didn't disobey on the surface, but after today..."
He sighed slightly, and the others also looked unhappy.
The imperial court has its own laws. It is not a martial arts fight or a vendetta. With their power, whether it is Nie Wendong or Xu Wenji, if they want to take action, they must have evidence.
If the teacher is unknown, no one in the court can explain it.
And they have always avoided direct conflict with Xu Wenji. If they don't take the initiative, they won't give others any leverage.
"The worst case scenario is breaking up, so what's there to be afraid of?"
An elder snorted coldly and made a cut-throat gesture with his hands:
"The big deal..."
"Asshole!"
Ye Sheng's face darkened, and with a backhand palm, he knocked him to the ground.
"Master!"
The elder was caught off guard and was immediately coughed up blood. He was confused and said: "That Xu Wenji is obviously going to deal with us..."
"Don't mention this again!"
Henry Chu spoke at the right time. He glanced at everyone here coldly and said in a deep voice:
"The rivers and lakes have their own rules, the imperial court has its laws, and we, the nobles, also have our own rules! When trouble comes, we have to fight and kill. What's the difference between this and ordinary people?"
His eyes were dark and full of warning.
When he saw someone confused, he didn't explain any more and walked away.
"The head of the family..."
The elders of the Ye family felt a little dissatisfied.
"Who do you think Xu Wenji is?"
Ye Sheng was impatient, but worried that these old people were acting recklessly, so he reluctantly explained:
"He is a veteran of two dynasties. He once worshiped the Minister of the Ministry of War and was an important official in the imperial court of the Crown Prince and Grand Master! This time he came to Qingzhou and brought the edict with him as an imperial envoy!
Not to mention, although he has not yet taken office, he can already be regarded as the parent official of Qingzhou!"
Hearing this, the elder's expression changed slightly.
"We're going to tidy up our ranks, shrink our power, and deal with them in order to preserve our family business! It's not about fighting and killing others..."
Lin Xingchen glanced at him coldly and walked away:
"If you use your brain to do anything, Lian Shengjiao doesn't dare to come to Qingzhou City to kill him. Ji Longshan has never done anything to him. Fang Qidao has to be courteous. Who do you think you are!"
Can Xu Wenji be killed?
Can!
But it can never be them!
Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, in all dynasties, whenever a high-ranking official was killed, the government and the public would be shaken, and the most terrifying killings would be ushered in.
This is where the laws of the imperial court lie.
Why is Jilong Mountain known as the Changliu Bandit, a bandit whose reputation has surpassed those who have been out for many years, and can even become famous all over the world, causing shock to the government and the public?
It was he who almost assassinated Nie Wendong, the leader of Qingzhou Prefecture, in broad daylight!
…
…
I haven't returned for many days. There is a lot of dust in the small courtyard and weeds have grown up.
Yang Yu did some tidying up, boiled a large pot of liquid, and soaked himself in it.
"Jilong Mountain, Fang Qidao, the Four Families..."
He sat cross-legged in the barrel, rubbed his temples, ran around all night, and fought two battles. Although he still had plenty of physical strength, his mental strength was really exhausted.
The situation in Qingzhou seems to be a mess.
The four major families are intertwined, and there are constraints from Nie Wendong and Fang Qidao. Even if Xu Wenji has extraordinary means, he cannot cut through the mess quickly.
Without him, the court has its own rules.
This is true for any system. Even if you hold great power, you must be bound by laws. Once you do not follow the rules, you will be criticized and criticized.
He was even dismissed as a sycophant and a power minister.
Even if I, the emperor, dare to trample on me, I will be dissuaded by letters from the officials. If I insist on doing it, I will be criticized as a coward and a tyrant.
In fact, even in martial arts circles where the strong seem to respect the strong, there are rules. Those who cause trouble for no reason are often denounced as evil heretics, and everyone calls for beatings.
One can imagine the difficulty Xu Wenji was in at this time.
"What's more important is that even if there is a blank document, Mr. Xu has no one available for the time being. At least, there seems to be no one who can determine the strength of the state government..."
Gently pinching the center of his brow, Yang Yu felt worried.
When he killed Nie Wendong, his perception beyond ordinary people captured a strong malice directed at him.
Although it was only a fleeting moment, he still traced the source of his malice.
Fang Qidao!
This immediate boss, whom he had never met before and who was meeting him for the first time tonight, harbored extremely strong ill will towards him. It could even be said that he was.
Killing intent!
"He should be the one behind Granny Shi. What is his purpose..."
Yang Yu's eyes flickered.
Although I don't know why Fang Qidao has such great malice towards him, we can only judge from the way he easily manipulated Ji Longshan.
The martial arts attainments of this six-door chief arrester are far superior to his own at this time...
In the wooden barrel of medicinal liquid, Yang Yu relaxed his spirit and thought about various matters. Some guesses were wrong or he had no clue.
After a long time, I finally cleared away all the distracting thoughts.
With a slight thought, he entered the Cauldron of Gluttony.
Buzz~
When he opened his eyes again, all the ingredients were still twinkling like stars in the night.
Yang Yu's attention fell on the Yanyue sword in the middle, which was more than eight feet long and had a cold and arrogant air.
But it was Yu Fengxian's sword.
After briefly coming into contact with the sword, he naturally immediately captured the spiritual traces lingering on the sword.
