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

Chapter 127

In the 31st year of Yuanfeng, the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Yi, sacrifice.

Avoid, marry.

Under the service of Ziyun and Qingqing, Qi Xuan was dressed in today's clothes.

"Today is a big day for offering sacrifices to Jiang, Madam said, don't be careless." Ziyun babbled, and hung a jade belt around Qi Xuan's waist.

Feeling the tightening of the waist and abdomen in an instant, Qi Xuan raised his eyebrows, and then said indifferently: "It's just a formality, and with the prefect Shen, not many people would notice our family."

Today is Ning'an Mansion's annual river sacrifice ceremony as usual, officials of all sizes from Ning'an Mansion will be present to participate in the sacrifice, to pray for a good weather in the new year.

Qi Xuan naturally didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he had little interest in this ceremony of offering sacrifices to the river.

But his father, Qi Yan, who is the second in command of the Ning'an Mansion, obviously couldn't miss such a grand ceremony.

Even though he came to Ning'an Mansion to be gilded, he still had to behave in a decent manner to show others what he should do.

Ziyun heard that she was still arranging Qi Xuan's clothes in her hands, and said with a light smile: "Fortunately, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the river is held during the daytime, otherwise you would definitely not want to go, my lord."

In fact, I really don't want to go.

Just considering the safety of my parents, it's better to take a trip by myself.

Both of them are under my nose, what else can happen!

……

The River Sacrifice Ceremony is held at the River Sacrifice Pavilion by the river.

When Qi Xuan's family was on the scene, the Jiangji Pavilion was already surrounded by people.

Fortunately, Zhang Hu from the yamen was waiting at the side. Seeing the carriage of the Qi mansion, he quickly led a few yamen servants, shouted to disperse the common people, and made way for them.

Shen Ke, the prefect, was a thin middle-aged man with a pale and beardless face, and he greeted him with a warm smile.

"Lord Qi!" Even though Shen Ke, the magistrate, had a higher official position than Qi Yan, he still greeted him first.

Qi Yan quickly returned the salute: "Master Shen."

After exchanging pleasantries between the two, Qi Yan called Qi Xuan forward and introduced to Shen Ke and the adults behind him: "This is the dog Qi Xuan."

"Qi Xuan, don't hurry to pay respects to your lords!"

Qi Xuan could only cup his hands helplessly: "Qi Xuan has met all your lords."

As soon as the words fell, there was an endless stream of compliments in my ears.

"So young and handsome, it really makes this place flourish."

"Young master Tongzhi is really heroic and extraordinary, quite like the demeanor of an old marquis!"

"Compared to Tong Zhigongzi, my family's one, hi!"

……

Compliments from others were not very helpful to Qi Xuan, so he found a reason to leave, but after a few steps, he suddenly felt a fiery gaze on himself.

Looking along the line of sight, he is also a young and handsome boy, and he looks familiar!

"Qi Xuan!"

Just as Qi Xuan was struggling to recall who this person was, the other party had already called out his name through gritted teeth.

"You know me?" Qi Xuan asked seriously.

"You..." The young man paused when he heard the words, and then humiliation was written on his face instantly, his eyes seemed to be breathing fire: "I am Wei Yuanqing, dare you say that you don't remember!"

"Wei Yuanqing?" It sounded familiar.

Seeing Qi Xuan's thoughtful look, Wei Yuanqing's face became more humiliated, and his voice was so sharp that it was harsh: "Qi Xuan, are you insulting me on purpose?"

As soon as this sound came out, people around him looked sideways.

Those who can watch the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the river up close in the pavilion must be either rich or expensive.

Among them, someone recognized the young man's identity:
"Isn't this the boy born by An Guogong's concubine?"

"How did he come here?"

"Why else, of course it's because of the Zhao family..."

When someone who knew the inside story was about to speak out, his companion hurriedly covered his mouth.

Anguo Gongfu, Wei Yuanqing.

Qi Xuan now remembered that there seemed to be some unhappiness between the two of them in the capital city and Jinguang Temple before.

"Qi Xuan!" At this moment, a familiar and pleasant voice fell into my ears.

Qi Xuan turned his head and saw Zhao Lingyue, who was also dressed in a splendid attire, walking towards him.

She seemed to have put on makeup today, which was a little more charming than what she had seen before.

With the appearance of Zhao Lingyue, the eyes of everyone around Qi Xuan fell on her almost at the same time.

Especially Wei Yuanqing...

Qi Xuan had already seen the naked infatuation in his eyes.

It turned out to be trapped by love!

It's a pity that Zhao Lingyue never looked at Wei Yuanqing from the beginning to the end.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhao Lingyue came straight to Qi Xuan's side, and said with a sweet smile: "Young Master Qi, I knew you would definitely come."

Seeing the goddess in his heart greet a man so proactively, the young people present seemed to hear something shattering in his chest.

Zhao Lingyue didn't care about everyone's envious and hateful eyes, she even took the initiative to lean into Qi Xuan's ear, and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "'Jin Yi' is also on the scene."

As soon as Zhao Lingyue finished speaking, Qi Xuan asked, "Do you know who it is?"

She was slightly taken aback, then looked at Qi Xuan's tightly closed lips, and immediately shook her head with a knowing smile.

This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, and many people who admired Zhao Lingyue almost gritted their teeth.

On the other hand, Qi Xuan's eyes were slightly concentrated, and his eyes were full of doubts when he looked at Zhao Lingyue.

"Second Sister!" At this time, another beautiful figure appeared in everyone's sight.

Qi Xuan looked around,

It turned out to be another old acquaintance.

Zhao Wuji!
Zhao Wuji was accompanied by a woman with exquisite makeup. Although her appearance was also very gorgeous, the traces of age in the corners of her eyes were not completely covered.

"Zhao Wuji, you have already met, and the one next to me is my good second aunt."

Fan Shi... looks like a very shrewd woman.

Qi Xuan did not hide his tracks, and Zhao Wuji and his wife soon noticed his gaze.

Zhao Wuji's face sank when he saw Qi Xuan, and then saw Zhao Lingyue next to Qi Xuan in a blink of an eye, his whole face collapsed in an instant, but as a person beside him came forward to say hello, Zhao Wuji changed into another very quickly. A smiling face.

Qi Xuan was amazed, his face changed really quickly.

But Fan's was different, she squinted her eyes slightly, responded to Qi Xuan with a polite smile, and then continued to chat with people around her with a warm smile.

As for their daughter, Zhao Lingxin had already arrived beside Zhao Lingyue.

She is also dressed up today, and her slightly pale pretty face can't help but make people feel pitiful.

"Your parents are really serious, knowing that you are not in good health, and let you come here together." For this cousin, Zhao Lingyue's concern does not seem to be hypocritical.

"Master Qi." Zhao Lingxin first bowed slightly to salute Qi Xuan, then smiled and shook his head at Zhao Lingyue: "I begged my father for most of the night last night before he agreed to let me come."

But this sentence is obviously to excuse Zhao Wuji and his wife.

Before Zhao Lingxin had time to say a few more words to Zhao Lingyue, she was called over by Fan.

Surrounding Fan's side, there are several noble ladies with extraordinary bearing.

"Your sister is discussing marriage?" Qi Xuan asked, for some reason, he remembered the marriage letter that Zhao Lingyue had withdrawn.

Zhao Lingyue replied with a blank face: "Actually, the Fan family was not like this before. Her second aunt was far more qualified than Zhao Wuji's second uncle."

"I didn't expect her to change completely after I asked Grandpa to pass the title of owner to Zhao Wuji."

Zhao Lingyue paused: "Back when the Qi family and the Zhao family were discussing marriage, she was the only one in the family who objected. What she was afraid of was that Lingxin would marry you, a well-known... trash in Beijing."

The teasing in Zhao Lingyue's eyes caught Qi Xuan's eyes. He glanced at the ladies beside Fan, and then smiled slightly: "Human, the most fearful thing is to have hope!"

After that, he glanced to the other side, and a figure was approaching him sneakily.

Qi Xuan chuckled immediately and said, "For example, if you don't like this Mr. Wei, it's better to cut off his thoughts directly."

"Lingyue~" A voice so gentle that it makes the scalp tingle sounded at the right time.

Zhao Lingyue frowned slightly, but from the corner of her eye she noticed that Qi Xuan beside her had disappeared.

……

Wei Yuanqing likes Zhao Lingyue.

You don't need to guess at all, you just need to look at Wei Yuanqing's eyes towards Zhao Lingyue to know.

To be honest, Qi Xuan felt a little sympathetic to Wei Yuanqing from the bottom of his heart.

It's not good to like anyone, like Zhao Lingyue.

Don't look at Zhao Lingyue, she always has a smiling face.

But the chill in his eyes couldn't escape Qi Xuan's eyes.

This woman... has no feelings!
Qi Xuan didn't have much interest in how Zhao Lingyue would deal with Wei Yuanqing. He returned to Mrs. Li and waited for the ceremony to begin.

As soon as he was seated, Gao Jie, who was dressed as an ordinary guard today, handed a note from behind.

"Fourth son, someone asked me to give it to you."

"Who is it?" Qi Xuan didn't immediately open the note in his hand, he looked at it, it was just a piece of ordinary paper, folded in half, ink stains could be seen faintly.

"It's Shopkeeper Fu of Yunzhonglou."

"Fu Yunshang..." Qi Xuan looked at Gao Jie with a puzzled face, "Where is she?"

"I don't know, after she handed this note to her subordinates, she left, and asked her subordinates to hand over the note to you, Young Master." Gao Jie replied truthfully.

Qi Xuan opened the note, and there were only three words on it.

"Save Yunrong."

At this time, with a shout from the river, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the river began!

……

When the livestock wearing the red belt is submerged in the cold river water, it means that the river sacrifice ceremony has reached the final stage.

The onlookers were looking forward to it, but the originally noisy scene subsided in an instant.

"Didn't you say that Miss Yunrong will come today?"

"That's right, if it weren't for the news that Miss Yunrong is back, who would brave the cold wind to watch the Raoshizi sacrifice to Jiang ceremony."

"I'm coming!"

……

Following the commotion of the crowd, a green figure, escorted by a group of elite soldiers, came to the first floor of the Jiangji Pavilion, where a piano platform had already been prepared.

It was Fu Yunrong.

She is wearing a green palace dress today, and she is holding a human-tall guqin in her arms.

At this moment, Qi Xuan, who was on the second floor of the River Sacrifice Pavilion, had already noticed something was wrong with Fu Yunrong.

There was an imperceptible red light hidden in her pupils.

And her body... that vitality that is about to burst out!
Man Wang Dan!
Three words flashed through Qi Xuan's mind.

Zhao Lingyue once said.

Human Wang Dan is a elixir developed by the ancestors of the Zhao family.

And it has long been lost.

But just two months ago, Wang Dan, who had been lost for nearly 200 years, reappeared!
Someone invited Zhao Luo and Qianhu Villa to join their organization as a reward for this pill.

That's right, it's them!

Kenichiro Fujiwara, the mysterious force behind Chijun Fujiwara.

For the past two months, Zhao Lingyue has been investigating who made Wang Dan reappear.

Until it was discovered that it seemed to be inextricably related to Wugou Villa.

……

Fu Yunrong had already placed the guqin in his hand on the qin platform, and then sat down slowly, with two slender hands caressing the strings of the qin.

Looking at the true energy gradually rising from Fu Yunrong's body.

Qi Xuan suddenly smiled.

He seemed to understand why someone would attack Fu Yunrong.

artistic conception!

The other party actually wanted to rely on Fu Yunrong to pull everyone into the mood!

"Zheng-"

The moment the first zither sounded, Qi Xuan had released his true energy, enveloping his family.

Sure enough, Qi Xuan turned his head, and found that most of the pupils around him had already glowed with a strange red light, obviously drawn into the artistic conception by Zhao Lingyue's piano sound.

Most of the people present were ordinary people, and they had no chance to resist.

But...Fu Yunrong had a look of extreme pain on his face.

Obviously, even with Wang Dan's help, pulling so many people into the mood at once, even ordinary people who don't know martial arts, for Fu Yunrong, the loss is terrible!

If there is at most half a cup of tea, Fu Yunrong will die of mental exhaustion.

Qi Xuan thought for a moment, then sighed slightly.

"Ugh--"

This soft sound was like Huang Zhong Dalu exploding in everyone's ears.

Especially Fu Yunrong, she spurted out a mouthful of blood in an instant, and then fell down on the guqin.

But at this moment, a strong wind howled towards Qi Xuan.

A cold light flashed.

"The strength of concentration is good, and I didn't make a move until now." Qi Xuan held a long sword between two fingers, and then slowly turned his head to look at the sword wielder.

"Mr. Yao, I think you are the 'Jin Yi' killer, right?"

It was Yao Yanshan who attacked Qi Xuan with a sword.

At this time, the pupils in his eyes were deep and bright, and he didn't look like a blind man.

With many times of force, but the long sword was held firmly in Qi Xuan's hand, Yao Yanshan's face gradually became gloomy: "What else do you know?"

"That's all I know, but..." Qi Xuan suddenly let go of the long sword, and then the corner of his mouth slightly curved: "She should know more than I do!"

As soon as the words were finished, a figure suddenly appeared behind Yao Yanshan.

"Zhao Lingyue!" After recognizing the person who came, Yao Yanshan quickly turned around when he saw that the person was about to hit his acupuncture points, and then swung his sword to kill Qi Xuan again.

"Ah!" Finally, a lady who came back to her senses screamed when she saw Yao Yanshan attacking with a sword.

Qi Xuan was not affected in any way, he just stretched out his hand...

Under Yao Yanshan's horrified gaze, Qi Xuan absorbed the long sword in his hand to the palm of his hand with great force, and then rolled it in one hand.

Kaz --

Qi Xuan threw the scrap iron rolled into a ball in his hand, and looked at Yao Yanshan with cold eyes: "If you don't use your real skills, I'm afraid you will hide them for the next life!"
