casket of old days

Chapter 293 The Murderer Is Actually Myself (Two in One, 4139 words)
Zhang Jitian, who was said by Qiao Zhi to be the future No. [-] martial artist, walked out of Tumen Fort and headed towards the village outside the fort.

Chu Qiguang returned to Yaoyin Village in the past two days, and Zhang Jitian took charge of many things inside and outside Tumen Castle.

For example, the 32 soldiers newly trained by Chu Qiguang were all temporarily managed by Zhang Jitian.

But it was nearly an hour late today, and those recruits hadn't come to the fort for training yet, which made Zhang Jitian feel a little bad.

After leaving the gate of Tumen Fort, far away from the field, he could see the recruits digging the field.

The little flags who had been kicked out stood aside with a smile, and together with the veterans, they were pointing at the new recruits in the field.

"Hurry up! Do you hear me?"

"I really think I'm a soldier, so I don't need to farm?"

"The next spring plowing will trouble you, so do it well."

Hearing the yelling of those veterans, Zhang Jitian frowned, and said, "What are you doing?"

The veterans turned around and subconsciously stepped back a few steps when they saw Zhang Jitian.

But thinking about the people behind them, they straightened up again, explaining in twos and threes.

"The old people in the village are sick, and no one is farming."

"The spring plowing must not be delayed."

"Master Zhang, we just ask them to help with the farm work, and let them go back when the work is done."

Looking at their appearance like soldiers, Zhang Jitian snorted coldly: "Shut up, recruits, come with me, other people will do the farming, it's not your turn to do it."

While the recruits in the field were hesitating, a voice sounded from under the eaves not far away: "Who wants to leave?"

Zhang Jitian turned his head to look, and saw Ning Chigong sitting on a deck chair at some point, squinting his eyes and looking at the situation in the field.

Seeing Zhang Jitian looking over, Ning Chigong laughed and said, "Master Zhang, the spring plowing is coming soon, the fields outside the castle must be planted."

Zhang Jitian looked at Ning Chigong coldly: "You asked them to farm?"

Ning Chigong stood up, smiled and said, "Huh?"

There seemed to be a slight dullness in the air.

But how could Zhang Jitian be frightened by Ning Chigong, a vice-hundred household.

His Zhang family is also a well-known wealthy family in Lingzhou, with three Jinshi in the family, and his Zhang Dashao is also a toubob in his hometown.

Seeing Ning Chigong's performance, Zhang Jitian laughed heartily, his body was full of energy and blood: "Are you a small sub-hundred household going to turn the sky upside down?"

Ning Chigong looked at Zhang Jitian coldly, his violent Qi and blood suddenly surged up, and the roiling heat wave seemed to overwhelm Zhang Jitian.

"Do you think...you are the only one in the Fifth Realm in this Tumen Castle?"

Ning Chigong patted Zhang Jitian on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "It's not your turn to decide here."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the servant behind him had already sent an invitation to Zhang Jitian.

Ning Chigong said with a smile: "I heard that Chu Baihu has always wanted to get close to his local friends, so he organized a martial arts gathering for everyone. Let him come together tonight."

After sending away the invitation card, Ning Chigong turned around and left, thinking to himself: "Think you can walk sideways if you bring five realms?" '

'Innocent. '

Looking at the invitation card in his hand, Zhang Jitian felt it was amused: "Only you dare to fight against the devil Chu Qiguang?" '

"My family is rich, I have three Jinshi in one school, a noble tree facing the wind, and a top scholar... I secretly observed that I dare not do anything now. '

'just you? '

At this moment, looking at Ning Chigong's leaving back, Zhang Jitian suddenly gloated a little.

……

On the other side, Qiao Zhimao was squatting on a wall, his eyes fixed on the Taoist temple of the Tianshijiao in Bafu in front of him.

"Chu Qiguang is still guarding the blood pool in Yaoyin Village, and he doesn't know what Gao Yi has been tossed into. '

'And let me bring the cat demon to Bafu first, alas...why hasn't this Feng Yun come out yet? '

After a while, seeing Zhang Fengyun coming out of the gate of the Taoist temple, Qiao Zhi's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked for an opportunity to climb over the high wall of the Taoist temple.

While climbing, he looked at the environment inside, and when he stopped suddenly, he saw a line of big characters written on the wall in front of him.

'Men are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard of women's family members. '

Qiao Zhi scanned carefully, and found the talisman paper and red line on one side of the wall.

'There are so many precautions. '

Qiao Zhi didn't go too deep, but walked around the various restrictions in the Taoist temple a few times, his ears trembled a few times, and he heard the voices of several women in the distance.

"Hao Xiangtong, you comprehend it so quickly. I didn't succeed in practicing the method of sitting and forgetting for several months."

"Your fiancé has come from so far away from Lingzhou, how infatuated."

"What kind of infatuation! This kind of man treats women as decorations. I don't think it's worth getting married."

"The menstrual event is coming, and my stomach hurts."

Qiao Zhi jumped onto a roof and listened to the distant conversation with his extraordinary ear.

He thought to himself: "After observing this period of time, Hao Xiangtong probably didn't tell anyone about Chu Qiguang's hidden strength." '

Then Qiao Zhi left the Taoist temple before Zhang Fengyun came back, but was soon found by the cat demon Baimi.

Qiao Zhi yawned, stretched his waist and asked, "What's wrong with rice?"

This time I went back to Yaoyin Village. Chu Qiguang asked Qiao Zhi to bring a group of cat demons to act as eyes and ears, and Bai Mi was one of them.

After all, Qingyang County has been almost infiltrated by cat and dog demons from Yaoyin Village, and has a mature intelligence network.

As a member of the team, Bai Mi was brought over by Qiao Zhi.

Bai Mi looked at Qiao Zhi and thought: "Qiao Zhi is always going out with Mr. Chu whenever possible. That's why he became the red cat in Mr. Chu's eyes. If I can replace him, I can become the cat in the village..."

Hearing Qiao Zhi's question, Bai Mi said, "Well... Chen Gang seems to have been arrested."

……

In a small courtyard in Bafu.

Chen Gang was blindfolded and tied to a chair.

Liu Yao sat at the side, drinking tea and looking at Chen Gang slowly.

Ever since he learned about the situation in Bafu, Liu Yao took the initiative to find Ning Chigong, and wanted to join hands with this deputy Baihu to deal with Chu Qiguang.

But Chu Qiguang has been hiding in the Tumen Fort, never going out.

On the contrary, it was his servant who was running outside every day, busy with various things.

So Liu Yao asked his men to tie up Chen Gang.

At this moment, one of Liu Yao's warriors punched Chen Gang in the stomach.

Chen Gang snorted and said, "Who are you? I came to Bafu to join my relatives, did you find the wrong person?"

"Pretending to be stupid?" Liu Yao waved his hand, and after another round of punching and kicking by his subordinates, he asked, "Where did Chu Qiguang get his money? Why does that Zhang Jitian listen to him? How can you collect Buddhist scriptures?" doing what?"

Chen Gang smiled wryly and said, "I'm just a servant, how would I know about this?"

Liu Yao shook his head, and his subordinates continued to punch and kick Chen Gang.

"Don't tell me yet?"

Chen Gang spat a mouthful of blood foam on the ground, grinned and said, "You are all dead."

A cold light flashed in Liu Yao's eyes: "Still stubborn?"

……

In the forest outside Bafu, Chu Qiguang and a man covered in black robes descended from the Chongming Bird.

Chu Qiguang thought to himself: "With Gao Yi's help, I will be able to get the Reinforced Iron Bones Skill from Ning Chigong in the past two days." '

Chu Qiguang was full of anticipation for this: "I don't know how much the progress of comprehension of the "Sumi Mountain King Sutra" will be improved, and how much my strength will increase. '

Yaoyin Village, Ba Mansion, own strength... everything seems to be developing in a good direction.

The feeling that the harder you work, the luckier you get, and the feeling of silently cultivating and then reaping, puts Chu Qiguang in a good mood.

After he left the man in black and returned to Tumen Castle by himself, his mood gradually began to change.

Zhang Jitian handed over the invitation: "Ning Chigong came to demonstrate..."

Qiao Zhi reported: "Chen Gang was taken away, Baimi and the others are guarding over there..."

Chu Qiguang took the invitation and shook his head: "One by one...can't you let me live a peaceful life?"

"Then let's go to this martial arts meeting to see."

"But before we go, we have to get Chen Gang back first."

……

As the sun went down, the bustling places in Bafu were lit up with dots of fire.

And some secluded corners were gradually shrouded in thick darkness.

The small courtyard that Liu Yao rented was not a lively place, as the sun set, the surroundings gradually fell into darkness.

A rustling sound came from the darkness, and a martial artist said, "What sound?"

Another martial artist looked at the white cat passing over the edge of the wall, and said casually, "It's just a cat."

At the same time, there were two black shadows outside the gate of the small courtyard who did not know when they came, they were Zhang Jitian and Chu Qiguang.

Chu Qiguang put on his copper mask and said casually, "Don't let any one go."

Zhang Jitian nodded, and after watching Chu Qiguang push the door in, he closed the door again.

After a while, there was one sound after another in the small courtyard, as if a heavy object fell to the ground, and a faint smell of blood wafted out from the crack of the door and poured into Zhang Jitian's nose.

Zhang Jitian wrinkled his nose, and thought to himself: "So much blood?Chu Qiguang is a little angry today. '

After a few more breaths, Chu Qiguang opened the courtyard door and came out: "Liu Yao took two of his men down to participate in Ning Chigong's martial arts meeting."

"Together with Baimi and the others, bring Chen Gang back. Remember to dispose of the corpse before you leave."

Zhang Jitian hesitated and said, "Dispose of corpses? This...I can't..."

Chu Qiguang waved his hands and walked into the darkness: "Ask Baimi and the others more."

Zhang Jitian looked at the white cat that jumped off the wall, only to hear the other party say, "Don't worry, I know this one well."

"By the way, is there a river nearby?"

……

At the same time, Ning Chigong's residence was already brightly lit.

The magistrates and edicts of the Ba Prefecture, as well as several well-known martial artists, members of the local Cao, Miao, Bai, and Luo clans...

It can be said that Ning Chigong's martial arts meeting this time has invited all the famous people from the whole Ba Prefecture.

"This is Liu Yao, the inspector of the northern martial arts school, the Wu Jinshi of the sixth year of Yong'an, and Jiang Longyu of the Qisha School, that is his junior brother."

"Long time, long time."

"Brother Liu, let me introduce you. This is the parent officer of my Ba Mansion, Lu Ren Jia Lu Manor."

"Brother Ning, you really have a lot of friends. You even know the masters of the Qisha School."

Toasting and toasting, Ning Chigong raised a glass of wine and looked at the situation in the mansion full of guests, feeling a little complacent.

However, after listening to the boy's report, Chu Qiguang hadn't come yet, which caused a slight displeasure to flash across his face.

He shook his wine glass and said casually, "Shame on your face."

At the banquet, after a few glasses of wine, everyone talked about martial arts, and the atmosphere became more and more heated.

A member of the Miao family, a wealthy local family, suddenly said, "Didn't the new hundred households in Tumen Castle come to the banquet?"

As he took the lead, everyone seemed to criticize Chu Qiguang at once.

Although Ning Chigong didn't speak, there was a smile in his eyes.

At this moment, the young man at the side came up and said, "Chu Qiguang, please see me."

Ning Chigong was slightly surprised: "He's here? Then let him in."

When Chu Qiguang had already entered the courtyard where the banquet was held, countless eyes swept over him, with curiosity, malice, gloating, and none of his business...

Chu Qiguang didn't care, and just sat down in the last seat arranged for him by Ning Chigong.

But the entire martial arts competition that followed seemed to have nothing to do with him, no one spoke to him, and no one toasted him.

Chu Qiguang seemed to be completely ignored and isolated, sitting silently in a corner drinking tea alone.

In comparison, Liu Yao, who is also a newcomer to Pakistan, is more sought after.

Liu Yao looked at Chu Qiguang's useless look, and felt more and more puzzled: "This person is so much worse than me, how can Hao Xiangtong like him?"Are they really just ordinary friends? '

For Ning Chigong, this was a very successful party.

Effectively showed Chu Qiguang his connections and influence in Bafu, and kept everything under control.

He believed that the other party should have felt tremendous pressure. Faced with the interconnection and involvement of so many local forces, Chu Qiguang's only choice was to compromise with him.

At the same time, a figure wrapped in a black robe slowly walked to the gate of Ning's house.

Beside the river in the south of Bafu, Zhang Jitian was watching corpses being slowly sunk into the water.

At the gate of the Taoist temple, Qiao Zhi monitored Zhang Fengyun's whereabouts.

At the front and back of the Ning Mansion, the eyes of more than a dozen cat demons swept around, as if they were staring at something.

The next moment, in front of the gate of Ning Mansion... a horrified scream pierced the sky.

At the banquet in the mansion, large pieces of black mud suddenly crossed the night sky and fell towards the scene.

Ning Chigong looked at the black mud falling from the sky with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "High! Wing!"

Amidst the screams, the guards standing in the front had already been punched to death by the expressionless Gao Yi.

Several five-realm powerhouses stood up at the scene, including Ning Chigong, Liu Yao, Zhifu, Jiaoyu...

Amidst the howling sound of the atmosphere, heat waves bursting with energy and blood swept across the courtyard, and several warriors at the scene had already surrounded Gao Yi.

Chu Qiguang smiled and retreated slowly, his body seemed to gradually melt into the darkness where the lights could not be ostentatious.

"There are still too many big families in Bafu. '

'It's up to you, High Wing. '

But the next moment, Chu Qiguang's footsteps paused slightly, and a trace of stiffness flashed across his face.

'Oh shit. '

Familiar spasms and convulsions emerged from the body, and intense pain rushed to Chu Qiguang's brain.

There was cold sweat on Chu Qiguang's forehead: "This is a damn problem." '

'I obviously just want to live a peaceful life and grow stronger silently. '

'Why...why did the disease come to me? '
