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

Chapter 175 Southern Border
Seeing the food and wine on Yuan Youwei's table, the other people in the tavern immediately showed envious and jealous eyes.

The tavern on the edge of the market caters to hard-working people, and it is considered rich if there is a plate of cold dishes to accompany the wine.

And every time Yuan Youwei came, he always had good food and wine.

That's it, Yuan Youwei still thinks it's not good enough!

Naturally, it was incomparable with the food and drink in the Qi Mansion, but Yuan Youwei still enjoyed the gazes from the surroundings, which was one of the reasons why he would come to this tavern every time for entertainment.

Soon, someone from the market shop informed Yuan Youwei that the things ordered had been prepared for loading, and they could be transported to Qi Mansion after he went to inspect them.

"Shopkeeper, you don't need to look for it." Yuan Youwei generously threw a piece of loose silver on the table.

When he got up and was about to leave, he heard someone behind him enthusiastically call "Boss Yuan".

Yuan Youwei turned his head, and saw a burly man of a foreign race bowing to him with a happy face.

do i know him?
Yuan Youwei went through his mind, and made sure that he had never seen this person.

Seeing the doubt in Yuan Youwei's eyes, the man of the foreign race immediately smiled heartily: "Hahaha, I'm Balan from the grassland, and I want to discuss a business with you, Director Yuan."

Yuan Youwei sized up the man of the foreign race when he heard the words, and then sneered: "Talk about business with me...you deserve it too!"

Yuan Youwei is the steward in charge of purchasing the back kitchen in the Qi Mansion, and this matter is not a secret in the market.

But among the shopkeepers in the market, none of them wanted to do business with the Qi Mansion.

Who would have known that among the big and small dignitaries in Ning'an Mansion, Qi Tongzhi's family is the most generous, every time they settle their bills in cash and there is no credit.

Thinking that the other party was trying to go his own way to matchmaking again, Yuan Youwei was about to leave with a cold snort as soon as he finished speaking.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, a foreign man who called himself Balan had already stopped in front of him.

"What are you...doing!" Yuan Youwei couldn't help feeling a little nervous looking at the opponent's strong arms.

Balan smiled honestly, then took a bulging animal skin water bag from his waist and handed it to Yuan Youwei.

"Director Yuan, try it, it is more precious than gold on our grassland!"

Looking at the somewhat sloppy animal skin water bag, Yuan Youwei drummed in his heart: "Is there anything in this world that is more precious than gold, even if there is, it would not be in the hands of a reckless man like you."

But looking at the gnarled muscles on the opponent's exposed arms, Yuan Youwei cautiously reached out to take the animal skin water bag, opened it and took a sip.

With this mouthful, Yuan Youwei's frowning brows instantly relaxed, and then a little light shone in his eyes.

……

Qi Mansion, dinner party.

Qi Xuan took the cup from Ziyun, and when he brought it to his mouth, a rich milky scent rushed over his face.

I took a sip with anticipation, the sweet and sour taste was very delicious.

Qi Xuan drank it all in one gulp, and then put the cup where Ziyun handed it to him just now, indicating that he could have another cup.

People in the Qi Mansion also know Qi Xuanxi's sweet taste, especially when it comes to drinking

Therefore, the back kitchen usually spends a lot of thought to make some sweet drinks, but the effect is very mediocre, and it has never been praised by Qi Xuan.

The last time Qi Xuan was full of praise was Tao Yufei's Baihua Niang on the first floor.

Seeing that Qi Xuan was rarely satisfied with the drinks prepared by the back kitchen, Mrs. Li saw it, and gave the back kitchen a lot of rewards that day.

Among them, Yuan Youwei naturally got the most.

He came to his wife's room to show off what Li Shi had given him.

Yuan Youwei's wife, Mrs. Bai, was originally the embroiderer of the Hou's mansion, and she was highly valued by the old lady. It can be said that her status back then was much higher than Yuan Youwei's.

At that time, the Bai family gave up the opportunity to leave the mansion to marry the sergeant of the old Hou Ye, and resolutely chose Yuan Youwei. It is said that Yuan Youwei was young and handsome.

Sitting on the bed embroidering, Mrs. Bai raised her head and looked at her proud husband, then shook her head and smiled, then continued to do embroidery with her head down.

After nearly 20 years of husband and wife, she still doesn't know what kind of virtue her husband is.

As if feeling that he was being ignored by his wife, Yuan Youwei pulled his face immediately, and immediately took out a piece of flour flour from the rewarded silk and satin, put it on the bedside, and then said happily: "I think this piece of cloth is good, just right Make Qingqing a new suit."

Bai's hand reached out to touch the satin, it was indeed of the highest quality.

Hearing her husband mention her daughter, Bai put down the embroidery in his hands, and asked softly, "Speaking of which, Qingqing hasn't come back for several days. You stay in the back kitchen every day, but don't you see Qingqing?"

Qi Xuan has two personal maids to take care of the daily life.

In addition, Qi Xuan always sleeps until noon, so he eats lunch alone.

Only in the evening, will the family eat together.

It stands to reason that Yuan Youwei, as the cook, has the opportunity to see his daughter on weekdays.

Seeing his wife asking such a question, Yuan Youwei couldn't help touching the back of his head in embarrassment.

How could he stay in the back kitchen all day and spend his free time gambling with his friends!

Seeing her husband's expression, Bai knew the reason behind it, and immediately shook her head and sighed.

"Father, mother..." At this moment, the voice of my daughter suddenly came from outside.

Bai Shi hurriedly got up and wanted to go out to greet her, but bumped into Qingqing who was coming in.

"Oh...mother!" Qingqing's eyes lit up when she saw Mrs. Bai.

"Fizzy, what are your rules!" Bai Shi immediately scolded her in a low voice, but when she touched the flesh on her daughter's arm, she couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, and then a smile appeared in her eyes.

Looking helplessly at his delicate daughter acting coquettishly in Bai's arms, Yuan Youwei blinked helplessly.

Sure enough, the daughter is not cute anymore when she grows up, and there is no old father in her heart!

There was also a hidden guard who came back with Qingqing.

Qingqing, who had been swaying by Bai's side for a while, suddenly remembered that she had something important to do, and immediately invited the hidden guard in.

"Father, there is something that the guard brother wants to ask you?"

Qingqing blinked her big round eyes and looked at her father with some doubts.

She also didn't know what her father had done to alarm the young master so that the hidden guards came to question him.

And Bai's heart shuddered when he saw the "Brother Guard" in his daughter's mouth.

Compared with ordinary guards, the hidden guards have a more chilling aura, even ordinary people who don't know martial arts can feel it.

Bai was not the only one who discovered the identity of the dark guard.

As soon as the hidden guard opened his mouth, Yuan Youwei knew that the other party's identity was not simple.

Which guard in the mansion interrogates in the same way as an interrogation.

And... Looking at the other party's cold face, Yuan Youwei suppressed the trembling in his heart, and told the whole story. ,

……

"It's just a coincidence that the milk drink from the grassland?" Qi Xuan took a sip of the noon milk drink and said with a slight smile.

Zhao Lingyue, who was sitting on the side, quickly glanced at him, and then asked, "Since you know something is wrong, why do you still drink?"

Of course it's because it's delicious!

Qi Xuan looked at the exquisite porcelain cup in his hand, and said with a slight smile: "Could there be any poison in this world that can poison me?"

"I've never seen any top player who is as greedy as you are." Zhao Lingyue said unceremoniously.

Qi Xuan smiled and said nothing.

If you want to say why, it may be that all your martial arts come from cheating.

Compared with those top masters who are arrogant in the world, I may be more like a person.

The higher the cultivation base, the less human nature.

To some extent, the alienation of people by martial arts is not weaker than that of power.

……

Zhao Lingyue: "Nine Profound Sect's Feixue Peak has the unique art of suppressing veins called Feixue Piercing Cloud Palm. Yingxue should also have taken a fancy to Jinhua's pure yin body."

Qi Xuan recalled the fight that day, and was quite interested in the balls around Yingxue, so he mentioned this to Zhao Lingyue.

Zhao Lingyue pondered and said: "This thing is called 'Nine Heavens', and it was the treasure of the Yin-Yang family back then. By chance, it was handed down to the Nine Xuanzong, and it has since become the symbol of the Nine Xuanzong suzerain."

"If you want to display the star-spreading power of the Nine Profound Sect, the assistance of 'Nine Heavens' is indispensable."

"Unexpectedly, this woman named Yingxue is really the next suzerain of Jiuxuanzong." Zhao Lingyue shook her head as she spoke, and then sighed softly, "'Jiutian' is already in her hands, and she is said to be the current suzerain No problem at all."

As one of the seven sects, although Jiuxuanzong is not as low-key as King Kong Temple and Shangqing Temple.

However, most of the disciples of Jiuxuanzong walking in the rivers and lakes are the disciples of Shenjian Peak and Jiuxiao Peak.

As for the Xingluo Peak of the sect master's lineage, it rarely appears in the rivers and lakes.

……

"By the way, the thing you asked me to check last time has already been figured out." Zhao Lingyue said suddenly.

Qi Xuan straightened up immediately upon hearing the words.

What he asked Zhao Lingyue to check was the lines that appeared on the strange stone in Zhujian Villa.

Obviously, the strange stone that could attract the blood of Zhao and Li's family was not formed naturally, and the neat patterns on it showed that it was made artificially.

Zang Fenggu, who knew the inside story, could give them the answer, but Zang Fenggu and Jiang Xie stayed behind closed doors, obviously trying to avoid them.

Qi Xuan and Zhao Lingyue agreed that this should not be done until after the martial arts conference.

So Qi Xuan drew the pattern on the strange stone according to his memory, and asked Zhao Lingyue to check it out.

Unexpectedly, she actually found out a little clue.

"The pattern on it seems to be some kind of inscription that has been lost. It was carved on the sacrificial vessel in ancient times to communicate with the gods." Zhao Lingyue said in a deep voice.

Qi Xuan frowned upon hearing this.

In ancient times...

This is too far away.

At that time, there were hundreds of ethnic groups in the Central Plains, and wars continued, and no unified writing was formed.

Who knows which extinct tribe this inscription belongs to.

Seeing Qi Xuan's serious expression, Zhao Lingyue continued, "But someone told me where I can find someone who can decipher these inscriptions."

"where?"

"Southern Border!"

……

When the Central Plains were unified, the defeated tribes either surrendered or went into exile.

Southern Xinjiang, surrounded by mountains, is the main place of exile.

There are still tribes handed down from ancient times.

There is also an extremely powerful force in southern Xinjiang, the Five Immortals Sect.

The Five Immortals Sect, headquartered in Lancang City, has always been more or less connected with the Central Plains martial arts.

At a certain period, when the martial arts in the Central Plains was in decline, he went north to rule the roost.

It's just the same as the Tangmen in the past.

Because of his style of conduct and the martial arts he practiced.

Central Plains Wulin has always regarded it as a different kind, and even regarded it as a demon and heretics in some periods.

Qi Xuan remembered that at this time, there was a master from southern Xinjiang in Ning'an Prefecture.

Elder Tianshu of Shanhehui, Wu Sang.

There have been rumors in the world that he is the Golden Toad Envoy of the Five Immortals Sect.

In addition to the leader and saintess, the Five Immortals Sect respects the Five Holy Envoys.

As one of the Five Sacred Envoys, the Golden Chan Envoy, Wu Sang has a very high status in the Five Immortals Sect!
Thinking of this, Qi Xuan tilted his head slightly, just in time to meet Zhao Lingyue's gaze.

The two looked at each other and smiled, obviously thinking of being together.

"This matter...you have to go." Zhao Lingyue smiled sweetly, "I think Tang Tianque is very afraid of you!"

Qi Xuan immediately smiled when he heard the words: "Of course there is no problem with going, but I can't go in vain!"

He paused, and continued: "You have to waive Jinhua's ransom fee!"

Zhao Lingyue frowned: "This matter is not only for me, don't you want to touch the blood curse of the Li family?"

"One size is one size." Qi Xuan's mouth slightly curled up, "Anyway, the dragon blood in my body hasn't been activated yet."

Zhao Lingyue pouted helplessly, and then could only agree.

Just when Qi Xuan and Zhao Lingyue reached a deal, Qingqing had already returned with her hidden guards.

After listening to the secret guard's report, Qi Xuan looked at Qingqing, who looked a little anxious, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, your father is fine."

The movement around the Qi Mansion is under the surveillance of Gao Jie and his secret guards.

It had already been noticed that there were strangers peeping from a distance.

It's just that there has been no movement all of a sudden recently.

As a result, there were suddenly more delicious drinks in the back kitchen.

Whether it's a coincidence or not, Qi Xuan moved his lips and let people check it out.

That prairie man named Balaam,

Balan... Bagger, Sharan.

He was really worried that he would not recognize him!

But what to do next?

Qi Xuan was quite sure that the foreigner named Balan who came into contact with Yuan Youwei should be Lei Li who was rescued by the mysterious man before.

Came to the door so quickly.

I thought he would hide for a while with his tail between his legs.

The Department of Chasing Murders and Thieves and Pu Shan teamed up to hunt down, and finally almost got Pu Shan into it.

In Qi Xuan's view, Lei Li is just an insignificant little character.

But... the mysterious person who rescued him is very likely related to the murderer who killed Prince Jingyi 30 years ago.

In other words, that mysterious person is one of the Lord Yan of the Yin Division Ghost Prison.

Qi Xuan didn't think it was necessary for the other party to take the risk of revealing his identity for Lei Li.

There is only one possibility.

Lei Li's master,
"White Wolf King" Bagger.

……

Ning'an Mansion, the suburbs.

In the night, a carriage slowly stopped in the woods.

With a "swish" sound.

A figure walked out of the dark jungle and came to the front of the carriage.

Under the faint moonlight, an alien face appeared.

If Yuan Youwei was here, he would definitely recognize this person as the grassland businessman who took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him, Balan.

"Master!"

Following the man of the foreign race knelt down and called out.

A pale arm lifted the curtain of the car.

Under the moonlight, the whole arm seemed to be shining with fluorescent light.

But under the pale arm, a big hairy hand roughly opened it.

Bang.

The man, whose body was so pale that he was glowing, fell directly from the carriage and hit the ground.

Then a dark figure stood in front of the car door.

"Bager..."

The icy voice made the strong man kneeling in front of the carriage tremble violently.

"I heard you saw that person?"
