I hang up and lie flat in the world of martial arts

Chapter 108 Killer Stranger

But there is one more thing.

The male owner of Gongjiazhuang, Gong Quan.

Why did he suddenly lose his mind and kill his whole family?

Shopkeeper Sun didn't know about this.

"Gong Quan said it was to celebrate his mother's birthday, so I granted him a few days off. I didn't expect that his family would die unexpectedly." Shopkeeper Sun said in the original words.

From the words, it can be seen that Shopkeeper Sun attaches great importance to Gong Quan.

Gong Quanneng supports a family of more than a dozen people with a single accountant, which shows that shopkeeper Sun treats him well on weekdays.

Qi Xuan also asked if Gong Quan had offended anyone.

Shopkeeper Sun hesitated for a moment at that time, and really said a person's name.

"Mannia!" Shopkeeper Sun said excitedly, "It must be her!"

"If she is really a killer as the young master said, then it makes sense." Shopkeeper Sun said with confidence.

Then he told Qi Xuan that Gong Quan coveted Mannia secretly, peeked at Mannia bathing many times, and took Mannia's clothes several times.

It was Mannia again.

From this point of view, Gong Quan's death is probably related to Mannia and the Wugou Villa behind it.

Qi Xuan vaguely remembered hearing his father mention Gong Quan's files.

It is said that this person is cautious, and he can't be more careful in doing things on weekdays.

That's why he was favored by Shopkeeper Sun.

Moreover, Gong Quan has always loved his wife very much. Even when he was working in Tianxiang Pavilion, he never had any behavior of seeking flowers and asking willows, and all the money he earned was spent on his family.

Such a person would do peeping?

Most likely, they discovered something abnormal in Mannia's body and wanted to find out.

But she never thought that the Wugou Villa behind Mannia could be provoked by an ordinary person.

Then there is only one problem left.

It was Mannia herself.

Or Mannia's associate?
……

The matter involved the throne, Qi Yan did not dare to neglect, he made shopkeeper Sun look good, and then wrote a secret letter, which Gao Ying personally delivered to his grandfather Qi Jiang in the capital.

"But... Lord Hou asked his subordinates to protect the safety of the second master's family." Gao Ying felt that the letter in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold, but he still kept in mind the order of Qi Jiang, the Marquis of Wucheng.

Qi Xuan watched from the side, and couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

The four brothers surnamed Gao are all secret guards of the Qi family trained by their grandfather. In their hearts, the safety of the Qi family is above all else.

"You go." Qi Xuan said with a slight smile, "With me here, no one can touch the Qi mansion."

Gao Ying glanced at Qi Xuan in surprise.

It's rare for this master to take the initiative.

But when Qi Xuan opened his mouth, Gao Ying immediately felt relieved.

"Be careful on the road." Qi Xuan said, "When I saw my grandfather, please tell me that there will be no worries about firewood for the green hills. When necessary, you should put yourself first, and don't force others."

The alternation of old and new powers has always been extremely dangerous.

What's more, the current emperor still prefers a weak prince.

How could the other two princes sit back and watch the throne fall by the side.

And Qi Jiang, as the most trusted subject of the current emperor, is naturally ordered to escort King Liang.

Qi Xuan was not afraid that after the other two princes took the throne, the Qi family would lose power in the court.

Because according to Qi Jiang's arrangement, even if King Liang ascends the throne, the Qi family will withdraw from the center of power step by step.

What Qi Xuan was worried about was that if the two princes were determined to fight and got enough support, at this time, in order to repay the current emperor's kindness of knowing him, his grandfather had a hot head and took the whole family to stud directly.

Then it's not worth the loss.

……

After Gao Ying left, Qi Xuan still had things to do.

The people in Tianxiang Pavilion are still locked in the city defense camp.

Qi Xuan decided to go and see for himself whether any of these people were from Wugou Villa.

Inexplicably caught in the city defense camp, everyone in Tianxiang Pavilion was trembling, but everyone looked left and right, but they didn't see Shopkeeper Sun.

Without a backbone, everyone was even more flustered.

In the end, she was still a beautiful woman, relying on her old friend in the army, she got some information.

"I heard that Shopkeeper Sun framed the new Master Tongzhi."

"Shopkeeper Sun and Mannia are said to have been thrown into prison, life and death are unpredictable."

……

Hearing this news, everyone shouted their grievances one after another, all expressing that they had no knowledge of what shopkeeper Sun had done.

"Mr. Jun, Mr. Jun, please do me a favor. My godfather is Mr. Li who is next to Zhifu Shen." A greasy young man said quietly to the sergeant guarding the door.

The sergeant just smiled contemptuously when he heard the words, "I know who you are, Mr. Wu of Tianxiang Pavilion, if you were Master Li's own son, the villain would have let you out long ago, but you are only Master Li's 'dry' son. "

When speaking, he emphasized the tone of the word "dry".

"Hahaha……"

Whether it was the colleagues beside him or the people in custody in the room, they all burst into laughter upon hearing this.

That Mr. Wu was trembling with anger, and the white putty fell down his face.

This is what Qi Xuan saw when he walked in accompanied by General Lei.

"What are you laughing at?" In front of Qi Xuan, General Lei couldn't hold back when he saw his subordinates lose their composure, and immediately shouted sharply.

Hearing this, the sergeant looked sideways, and when he realized that General Lei had arrived, he immediately tensed up, held his head high, and dared not even take a breath.

"It's General Lei." Some of the detainees recognized General Lei.

"Who is that kid next to General Lei?" What surprised everyone even more was that even General Lei, who was stern to the magistrate, showed a kind smile to the young people around him several times.

"All the prisoners here are men." General Lei introduced to Qi Xuan.

"As for the women, they'll be locked up in another place." General Lei couldn't help showing embarrassment as he spoke, "Well, Nephew Qi Xuan, how long are you going to keep them locked up?"

"Uncle Lei, did someone come to the door?" Qi Xuan smiled knowingly.

"Don't talk about it, even Shen Zhifu sent someone to ask about the situation, but in fact, he wanted me to accommodate and let someone out."

"Oh?" Hearing that the prefect personally intervened, Qi Xuan couldn't help asking curiously, "Which girl does the prefect want to get?"

Tianxiang Pavilion is also well-known in Ning'an Mansion, and several nobles including Mannia can also be called "Oirans".

"It's Miss Jingjing."

……

"Come out one by one. If anyone dares to be the first, don't blame my brother for being ruthless."

Under the command of a sergeant with a spear, the detainees in the room formed a long line.

Qi Xuan glanced at the noisy crowd, then shook his head: "Uncle Lei, let them go."

Among these people, there was obviously no one Qi Xuan wanted to find.

After looking at the imprisoned women in a similar way, Qi Xuan also found nothing, so he asked General Lei to let the group of Yingying Yanyan go.

After that, Qi Xuan met the girl Cheng Jingjing in the room with poor opinions.

It was quite amazing when I first saw it, but when Qi Xuan took a few more glances, he found that it was nothing more than that.

The side around me is as delicate and beautiful as Ziyun, and as delicate as Qingqing.

And that Fu Yunshang, Fu Yunrong, a pair of sisters with both looks and body.

In comparison, this girl Cheng Jingjing can only say that her demeanor is a little more peaceful.

In view of the fact that this woman is very likely to be the concubine of the prefect, General Lei decisively chose to avoid it.

So in the room, only Qi Xuan, Cheng Jingjing, and a servant girl beside Cheng Jingjing were left.

"Your Master is from Qi Mansion?" Cheng Jingjing asked after seeing Qi Xuan came in without saying a word.

Qi Xuan nodded, but still did not speak.

Seeing this, Cheng Jingjing couldn't help but frowned, and then said in a deep voice, "Mannia...how is she?"

"Is Miss Jingjing familiar with Mannia?" Qi Xuan finally asked.

"En." Cheng Jingjing nodded slowly, like an elegant white swan, her voice was also mellow and pleasant: "Among the many sisters in the pavilion, Mannia is the only one who hits it off with me."

"That's good." Qi Xuan sighed softly, "At least I have a friend, so that no one will collect the corpse in the future."

"what!"

Cheng Jingjing couldn't help covering her vermilion lips with her little hand, her voice trembling.

despair!
The tea overflowed from the cup, instantly soaking the blue cloth on the table.

"What?" Qi Xuan couldn't help showing a smile when he saw this, "I heard that my companion is about to die, do you feel unbearable, or do you feel fear?"

"Or... both."

Cheng Jingjing, who was still covering her vermilion lips, couldn't help but look sideways, following Qi Xuan's line of sight, she also looked at the maid standing beside her.

"Xiaodie?"

"Miss, Xiaodie was negligent for a while..." The maid called Xiaodie hurriedly knelt down on the ground, begging for mercy in a crying voice.

But before Cheng Jingjing could reply, she heard a cold voice next to her ear.

"Don't pretend, there are only the three of us here, if you do it directly, there may not be a chance of survival."

Seeing the warm smile on Qi Xuan's face, the astonishment on Xiaodie's face gradually subsided, and her eyes that were originally dripping with tears gradually became cold.

"What happened to Mannia?" Under Cheng Jingjing's astonished gaze, Xiaodie slowly stood up, fixed her cold eyes on Qi Xuan, and asked.

"Xiaodie! You..." Looking at Xiaodie, who had been serving her for several years, seemed to be a different person at this moment, Cheng Jingjing could no longer organize the words to express her feelings, so she could only stretch out her trembling slender jade. Pointing, pointing at Xiaodie, tremblingly said.

"Miss, I'm sorry!" Xiaodie sneered, and then appeared behind Cheng Jingjing like a ghost, and "swish", a dagger gleaming with cold light fell into the sleeve of her right hand.

Xiaodie pinched the blade of the dagger with her right hand, and then threw it towards Qi Xuan with a "swish".

Qi Xuan's face was as usual, and the smile on his mouth was still there. He stretched out his left hand, put his fingers together, and clamped the blade of the dagger directly.

"Hmph!" Xiaodie snorted coldly, a smug look appeared in her eyes.

clack clack...

what sound!
Xiaodie's face changed slightly, and then she looked at the dagger between Qi Xuan's fingers, which was still covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

The "clicking" sound just now was the sound of condensation on the surface of the blade.

"That's all it takes?" Qi Xuan smiled, how could he not see the crack that suddenly appeared between the blade of the dagger, on the surface it was a dagger, but in fact it was formed by the condensation of countless sharp blades.

No matter what method is used to block the dagger, it will cause the true energy in the blade to condense the blade to collapse, causing countless blades to splash out. This is the real killing move.

It's just that Qi Xuan stepped up his efforts and directly froze the blade.

"If there is no other way, then I'll do it next." As soon as the words fell, the smile on Qi Xuan's face faded, and then he lightly swiped the two fingers holding the dagger, and the edge of the dagger flew towards Xiaodie.

collapse!
Before Xiaodie made a move to stop her, the dagger that had been frozen burst open in an instant, countless blades immediately covered half of Xiaodie's body, and all the escape routes,
"Hehe..." Xiaodie seemed to have expected it a long time ago. A smile flashed in her eyes, and then she shrank, and her petite body instantly disappeared behind Cheng Jingjing.

"Ahhh..." Cheng Jingjing screamed in despair as she saw countless sharp blades rushing toward her face. She instinctively wanted to reach out her hands to cover her face, but her arms were tightly clamped by Xiaodie.

……

Cheng Jingjing widened her innocent eyes in horror, there was not a single scar on her face or body.

Xiaodie, who shrank behind Cheng Jingjing, couldn't help but smile contemptuously.

Sure enough, all stinky men know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

Then she sneered and looked sideways...

Deng!
Xiaodie's expression froze instantly.

The color in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by bottomless fear!

The petite body began to tremble.

The blade...why did it bypass Cheng Jingjing and stop at her side!

Countless blades stopped in midair strangely.

All the blades that shone with cold light pointed at Xiaodie.

"Compared to Mannia, you finally look like a killer." The familiar voice came again, "But it's a pity, I still have better skills."

"escape!"

Looking at the blade that was stagnant in mid-air three steps ahead of her, Xiaodie knew that she had encountered a terrifying enemy, and she only had one thought in her mind.

escape!
No matter what, run away!
The survival instinct overwhelmed the fear, and the originally sluggish body instantly became light. Xiaodie frantically stimulated her true energy, and then her figure swept towards the door like a feather.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Qi Xuan's eyes moved slightly, and the blade, which had been stagnant in midair, chased Xiaodie like a meteor shower.

chap!
A stream of light brushed past her face, Xiaodie only felt a pain on her face, and then a stream of warm liquid slipped from the painful spot.

Smelling the familiar smell of blood, Xiaodie's figure became a little faster.

Ten steps, nine steps, seven steps...

Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the door, Xiaodie's tense face gradually showed joy.

"Oh, it's not fun anymore." Someone sighed again in my ear.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Xiaodie's eyes widened suddenly, and then her figure stopped abruptly less than three steps away from the door...

chap!chap!
As soon as Xiaodie's figure stabilized, she saw two streamers passing by the route she had prepared, and then plunged into the ground.

Big beads of sweat came out from Xiaodie's head.

Humiliation, fear and despair are constantly intertwined in my heart.

More than ten years of cruel training day after day seems like a joke at this moment.

"Huh?" Qi Xuan looked at Xiaodie who had stopped, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Why didn't you run away?"

"Huh—" Xiaodie took a deep breath and turned to face this handsome young man. She was ready to fight to the death.

But when she saw the smile on the young man's face again, Xiaodie's lips parted slightly, and there was no trace of emotion in her eyes, only empty despair remained.

slam-la-

There was a crackling sound on the floor.

The blades that were originally inserted into the ground, under the blessing of some mysterious power, rose one by one and gathered in front of Xiaodie again.

"Well, it's quite fun." Qi Xuan's mouth curled up with a sincere smile.
