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

Chapter 132 The ugly daughter-in-law meets her in-laws
In the evening, Qi Mansion.

In the room, Qi Yuyao sat upright, picked up the steaming teacup, took a sip, and then looked quietly at the two people who were playing chess in the room.

Qi Xuan held a black chess piece in his hand, stared at the chessboard motionlessly, and frowned tightly.

The woman playing chess with him was holding her head lightly with one hand, constantly curling her dangling black hair with her fingers.

"Don't think about it anymore." Zhao Lingyue raised her beautiful eyes slightly, and sighed helplessly, "You have already lost."

"Really?" Qi Xuan put the chess pieces back into the chess jar with relief, stared at the chessboard for a long time, and then showed a puzzled face, "Which move was wrong?"

"Go forward and push the fourth move, and the defeat is already settled." Zhao Lingyue replied without thinking.

"Oh——" Qi Xuan carefully recalled the last four moves he played just now, and then asked solemnly: "Can I regret this move?"

Ziyun standing beside Qi Xuan couldn't help turning her head to one side.

"Forget it, I've lost this game." Zhao Lingyue put her hand on her forehead with her head, "There are really not many stinky chess baskets like you among the children of the family."

Qi Xuan just smiled when he heard the words: "One generation has its own hobbies, I'm just too lazy to cater to other people's hobbies."

In this world, besides going to the bar and listening to music, there are only elegant activities such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"I'm just asking what you wrote in those words. It's good to send someone to reply. Why did you come in person?" Qi Xuan asked Ziyun to remove the chessboard, then glanced at Zhao Lingyue, and asked casually.

Today's Zhao Lingyue is wearing a moon-white long skirt, showing her unearthly and refined fairy appearance, and Qi Xuan also noticed that there is a white jade carved hairpin inserted in her hair, which is completely different from before.

The only thing that is the same is that Miss Zhao Jiaer, who had dressed up a bit today, still came in through the wall.

Ziyun who took away the chessboard offered a new cup of tea to Zhao Lingyue, only to see the woman smiled at Ziyun, and then replied without looking sideways: "How many people are outside the Qi residence, do you know?"

There are a few more people in Zhao Lingyue's mouth, and the extra people are naturally not ordinary people.

Qi Xuan nodded, then turned his head to look at Qi Yuyao, and said, "He probably came from the capital with my second sister."

Qi Yuyao, who had been silently watching the two of them, couldn't help being surprised when she heard this sentence, "Is someone following me?"

The night Qi Yuyao entered the mansion, Gao Jie had already found out.

Qi Yuyao is the legitimate daughter of the prince of Marquis Wucheng, so it is doubtful that no one is spying on her.

Qi Yuyao saw that no one answered her, so she immediately stepped in front of Zhao Lingyue, calmed down a little, and then a warm smile appeared on her face: "This should be the second lady of the Zhao family, it really is..."

As Zhao Lingyue raised her head with a slight smile, Qi Yuyao, who felt her face so closely, couldn't help but pause, and then involuntarily took a breath.

Originally thought that Zhao Lingxin had already descended from a celestial being, a rare peerless person in the world.

I have never seen that this Second Miss Zhao is faintly superior, even Qi Yuyao, who is a woman, can't help but feel a little absent-minded looking at this face.

"Second sister, don't worry. If those people want to harm you, they won't watch you all the way to Ning'an Mansion." Zhao Lingyue's melodious voice came into Qi Yuyao's ears, which made her a little nervous. Instantly calmed down.

Those people were not so much monitoring Zhao Lingyue as they were... guarding her.

Qi Xuan suddenly thought of Zhao Wangfu.

Li Bin from Prince Zhao's Mansion was the only one who could send hidden guards to accompany her all the way and cared so much about Qi Yuyao.

Qi Yuyao seemed to have thought of something, an imperceptible blush gradually appeared on her face, and a little tenderness suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"Second sister, do you know who sent those people?"

Qi Xuan's question directly drew Qi Yuyao's eyes, followed by a decisive "I don't know!".

As if feeling that her tone was a bit harsh, Qi Yuyao gave Qi Xuan an embarrassed look, then blushed, left a sentence "I'm going to find my second aunt", and left the room in a hurry.

"Your second sister seems to have a deep relationship with the Duke of Chongwu County in Zhao Wangfu!" Zhao Lingyue smiled slightly as she looked at Qi Yuyao's leaving back.

She went on to say: "Li Bin's mother is just an ordinary concubine. He can be granted the title of Duke of Chongwu County, which shows that he is not an incompetent person."

It was the first time Qi Xuan had heard of Li Bin being knighted.

And he was granted the title of Duke of the County.

Don't underestimate the county magistrate.

The titles of the Dayong clan are divided into Prince, County King, County Duke, County Duke, County Boss, Township Duke, Township Boss, and Zongnan.

Among them, Zongnan is only a symbol of the clan's status, and has no rank.

Li Bin's Duke of Chongwu is only under the emperor, prince and county king, and belongs to the fourth rank in the clan title.

Among the already thin Li family members, Li Bin's county prince can be said to be quite important.

What the Dayong clan practiced was to confer titles and ranks.

All adult clan children must pass the exam in order to obtain the title.

In addition to the test results, this title is also related to the title of his father and the status of his mother.

Generally, it is inherited from the first class to the third class.

For example, Li Bin, as the son of King Zhao, should inherit the title from the county king to the county prince.

But because his mother is a concubine without a status, he needs to be downgraded again.

In other words, Duke of the County is already the highest title that Li Bin can win.

This means that he has achieved quite good results in the strict examination of the clan.

And judging from his title of Chongwu, he should go the way of Wufeng.

……

It seems that my second sister still has no hope of giving up on Li Bin. I am afraid this is one of the reasons why her grandfather asked her to come to Ning'an Mansion.

Qi Xuan had no intention of beating mandarin ducks with a stick.

It's just that in terms of age, both of them are older than themselves, and after thinking about it, they should know that not everything in this world can be what they want.

"Go and see Second Miss, and tell her not to tell my mother about Second Miss Zhao being here." Qi Xuan dismissed Ziyun.

Then he said to Zhao Lingyue: "Now we can say, what do the words on the paper I gave you mean?"

I don't know why, when Qi Xuan got the token, the first thing he thought of was Zhao Lingyue.

My fiancée is indeed very reliable in some respects.

Sure enough, Zhao Lingyue did not disappoint Qi Xuan, she said: "That should be the language of Huoyun Kingdom in the Western Regions."

"During Emperor Jing's reign, nearly ten countries in the Western Regions, including Huoyun Kingdom, were all wiped out."

"Furthermore, the people of Huoyun Kingdom were originally from the Central Plains who fled to the Western Regions to escape the war. After the Huoyun Kingdom was destroyed, they quickly integrated into Dayong. Now, there may not be many people who know about the existence of Huoyun Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Qi Xuan took out the token Qi Yuyao brought, handed it to Zhao Lingyue, and said bluntly, "Grandfather said it was given to me by the emperor."

Qi Yuyao took the token and considered it carefully for a moment, then pointed to the side engraved with Sanskrit and said: "These words represent the great living hell in the Huoyun language, but the people of Huoyun usually use it to refer to the living hell. Chujiang King of the Great Hell."

King Chujiang...

Qi Xuan remembered Feng Jiuqing's mention of "Equality King" when he wooed him.

Moreover, Feng Jiuqing also said that the "King of Equality" originally belonged to Liang Wang Li Han.

But Li Han has been canonized as the prince, and will soon become Emperor Dayong.

Feng Jiuqing's goal seems to be to overthrow Dayong and divide and rule.

In the past, Liang Wang was willing to fight with them only because he thought that the throne would definitely have no chance with him, a young and powerless prince who had no blood relationship with the current emperor, so he might as well give it a go.

According to Feng Jiuqing's words, the territory divided by "King Equality" is the Jiangnan area, where Dayong is the most affluent.

This condition is rich enough!
The result was unexpected.

The current emperor directly took a drastic move and passed the throne to Li Han.

Liang Wang, who was planning to divide the land from the local tyrants, found himself a local tyrant.

The teammates who were originally fighting side by side with him became their enemies in the blink of an eye.

I have to say that the current emperor's move is ruthless enough!

……

Listening to Qi Xuan's talk about how Feng Jiuqing wooed him, as well as "King of Equality" and what this title represents.

Zhao Lingyue didn't seem to be surprised: "Lu Song has also explained that there is a mysterious person who calls himself the 'Emperor Song' who provided him with the Human King Pill, allowing him to successfully refine the golden armored corpse that he has painstakingly studied for many years. "

King Equality, Emperor Song, and a token representing King Chujiang.

It seems that Feng Jiuqing and the others all use the ten halls of Yama as their code names.

Qi Xuan looked at the calm Zhao Lingyue with some surprise.

After one night of effort, Lu Song confessed?
Zhao Lingyue ignored Qi Xuan's gaze, and then asked, "I heard that you killed Xue Jian from the Changxing Gang?"

Qi Xuan nodded upon hearing the words.

At that time, Xue Jian didn't distinguish between black and white, and he directly killed him in a fit of anger.

"Hehehe...Fa Yin has sent the corpse back to the Changxing Gang." Zhao Lingyue laughed, "It is said that Vice-Clan Leader Xue was furious when he saw Xue Jian's corpse, and bluntly said that he would make you pay in blood!"

"However..." Looking at Qi Xuan who was expressionless, Zhao Lingyue went on to say, "With Xue Zhi's martial arts, I think he can't threaten you."

Fa Yin once said that Xue Jian had a brother who was the vice leader of the Changxing Gang, Xue Zhi. Already a famous master in the Jianghu.

Now 13 years have passed, Xue Zhi is not yet 50 years old, he is at the peak age of martial arts practitioners, and his martial arts must be better than before.

Qi Xuan was quite calm, and he asked casually, "Do you also think I've shot too hard?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lingyue just smiled faintly: "Any well-known masters in the Jianghu who don't have a few lives in their hands, if they are judged according to the Law of Great Yong, I'm afraid they will all be decisive."

This can be regarded as the rivers and lakes version.

Zhao Lingyue has such an awareness, Qi Xuan is not surprised at all, because the lives of this woman are probably not less than those who have been famous for a long time.

Qi Xuan looked at Zhao Lingyue for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "You have a little bit of imagination with Zhao Lingxin today, I don't see you dressed up like this on weekdays."

"No way, the ugly daughter-in-law will still have to see her in-laws after all." Zhao Lingyue smiled at Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan seemed to understand something upon hearing this.

Zhao Lingyue took a sip of tea calmly and said, "Zhao Wuji and his wife should be at the gate of Qi Mansion by now."

Da da da……

There were hurried footsteps outside the door.

It's sunny.

She ran in with a blushing face, and before she could breathe calmly, she panted and said to Qixuan, "Young master, madam asked you to go to the front yard, saying that someone from the Zhao family is here."

After all, round eyes full of doubts looked at Zhao Lingyue who was sitting upright.

……

Qi Xuan watched Zhao Lingyue climb over the wall and leave Qi Mansion.

Later, he saw Zhao Lingyue who was following Zhao Wuji and his wife in the front yard of Qi Mansion.

The eyes of the two met, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Lingyue's calm face.

……

Zhao Lingyue is not an ugly daughter-in-law.

Her unmistakable appearance captured the heart of Qi Xuan's mother, Li Shi.

It's just a face-to-face effort.

Zhao Lingyue's hands were already covered with a pair of expensive bracelets, and the gems on the hairpin were even more confusing.

The generosity of Li's actions made Zhao Wuji's wife, Fan, terrified.

Qi Xuan knew that his mother was a real local tyrant.

He caught Li Shi's gaze several times.

The look of complacency in the eyes is undoubtedly obvious, as if to say, I didn't embarrass you!
And Qi Yuyao, who had met Zhao Lingyue in Ziyun's room before, looked at Zhao Wuji and his wife curiously.

As a young expert in house fighting since she was a child, she could see Zhao Lingyue's grooming in Zhao Wuji's and his wife's eyes, even... jealousy.

A dinner is naturally a feast for the guests.

Qi Xuan's family naturally sent the Zhao family to the door in person.

Qi Xuan suddenly felt two scorching gazes fall on him.

Looking up, he was also an acquaintance.

It was Luo Wei, one of the masters recruited by Zhao Wuji, known as the "Seven Absolute Swords".

When Qi Xuan's eyes fell on him, Luo Wei grinned wide, revealing his white teeth.

And beside Luo Wei, was Qin Yan, one of the masters recruited by Zhao Wuji.

When Qi Xuan cast his eyes, Qin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the eyes that responded seemed to be full of... killing intent?
The three masters recruited by Zhao Wuji back then.

Pu Hong died in an accident.

Only Qin Yan and Luo Wei were left.

Among the two, Qin Yan is far better than Luo Wei in terms of background and martial arts.

At this moment, the coldness in Qin Yan's eyes was undisguised.

……

The next day.

Ning'an Fucheng, an ordinary house somewhere.

Fu Yunshang was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, her face full of anxiety.

creak-

He heard the door being pushed open.

Qin Yan walked in.

Fu Yunshang's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Master Qin, how is my sister?"

A strange color flashed in Qin Yan's eyes, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Don't worry, I have asked someone to take care of your sister in prison, and her injuries are no longer serious."

Fu Yunshang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his sister was in good condition.

Then he looked at Qin Yan expectantly: "Master Qin, may I ask when you can save my sister?"

"This..." Qin Yan showed a look of embarrassment, "Your sister's collusion with the remnants of the Demon Cult is a heinous felony, no matter whether it is released to the rivers and lakes or the court."

Fu Yunshang's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly said, "Da Qin is in charge, my sister is being controlled."

"And..." Her face suddenly became depressed, "We really don't know that Master...Feng Jiuqing will be a remnant of the Devil's Cult."

Qin Yan shook his head and sighed: "But it is an indisputable fact that your sister used the magic sound to confuse everyone at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to Jiang. Even if she is controlled, who will believe it?"

"Is there really no other way?" A trace of despair flashed in Fu Yunshang's eyes.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and the light of hope rekindled in her eyes.

"Master Qin, I don't know if he has received the letter I asked you to bring to Qi Xuan?"

"Of course he received it, but..."

"But what?"

"But he just replied that he knew it, and didn't say anything more." Qin Yan sighed slightly, "His father is a co-knowledge after all, how could he ruin his future for the remnants of the Devil's Cult?"

When Fu Yunshang heard this, the last ray of light in his eyes was completely annihilated.

Seeing this, Qin Yan couldn't help showing a look of joy in his eyes.

……

On the top of a tall building two streets away, Gao Jie put away the binoculars and said to himself with a puzzled face, "Isn't that the shopkeeper Fu in Yunzhonglou?"

……

After hearing Gao Jie's report, Qi Xuan couldn't help but support his forehead: "I almost forgot about it!"

Fu Yunrong was also imprisoned for colluding with the remnants of the Demon Sect.

As for Fu Yunshang, as early as the night of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to Jiang, he was wanted together with the personnel of Yunzhonglou.
