Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 422 Meeting an old friend again
During the days he was imprisoned, he had no idea what had happened to the girl, but it was obvious that her extremely fast sword strike just now was just to make him look at her.

In the midst of the storm, the cold and ruthless man with the sword froze for a moment, and the world around him turned into a still gray. Li Piaoqing did not ignite the candle in the man's chest. [Quail Head] was awakened in her heart, and she fell directly into the realm of his heart candle.

As the candle sword passed through patches of darkness and chaos, the scene changed countless times and finally stopped in front of a grave.

It was built on a cliff, with a small wooden courtyard at the foot of the cliff and vast and deep mountains in front of it.

The grave was recently built, with no rotten paper money still scattered around, and the tears of a boy of twelve or thirteen years old had not yet dried.

Li Piaoqing tilted his head and recognized that this was the young Zhao Fu.

At this time, he was dressed simply, his eyes were blank and timid, and he just kept wiping away the tears in his eyes.

Next to him, stood a man holding a sword.

"The person is gone, let's go to the mountains." The man whispered.

Zhao Fu pursed her lips, nodded, and held his hand.

Li Piaoqing moved her eyes to his face. It was the first time she saw this face, but the facial features were so familiar.

The youthful spirit of the young man in white has disappeared, and his eyes are silent and sharp. Qu Zhu.

"I'll give you a sum of money and deposit it in Jinyuzhai. You can take out ten taels every year. After ten years, you can withdraw all of it and settle down in the city from now on." Qu Zhu tilted his head to look at him and said, "Forget about me in the future. Don't mention me to anyone who asks."

"."

"OK?"

".I think, following you, I can make a name for myself!"

"."

"My father always said that he wanted me to study hard and bring honor to our family!" Zhao Fu choked up, "But studying is just like Zhang Xiucai, living in a shabby house, which is not considered promising! I want to practice martial arts, I want to learn swordsmanship!"

".Without talent, you are just throwing yourself into hell." Qu Zhu said softly, "I'll give you five years to change your mind. If you still insist, then we'll talk about it."

Li Piaoqing looked at this scene. Obviously, this was the beginning of everything. The candlelight burned brightly here, and Zhao Fu still firmly believed in this choice.

"This is what you insist on most. Then this belief will last for twenty years. What order of Qu Zhu are you going to complete?" Li Piaoqing lowered his head and asked the little boy.

Zhao Fu looked up blankly, and Li Piaoqing looked into those eyes and traveled through countless scenes again.

This kind of "heart within the heart" reflection has penetrated too deeply into the mind, and the light of the candle sword began to dim. For the practitioners of "Heart Candle", there is a danger of getting lost in other people's minds.

But the [Five Poison Heart Candle] was still burning steadily at this moment, and [Quail Head] drew a solid line between her and the heart candle, and Li Piaoqing continued to dive deeper.

Jumping back to twenty years later, the location has arrived in Bowang, but it is still a tomb.

Just much taller.

Li Piaoqing was startled, but there was no chance for a second look, [Quail Head] lit up, cold rain hit her face, and she withdrew from the state of mind.

Zhao Fu woke up in a daze, his eyes still dazed, but the sword light in front of him suddenly woke him up. [Shi Cui] had flown behind the girl, and there was still an empty door in front of him.

After a moment of shock, he suddenly burst out with true energy and rushed towards the girl in front of him.

However, with a "bang", like a blue and white porcelain blooming, Li Piaoqing lowered her eyes and pushed open the green umbrella.

The flowers in the rainy night blocked the contact of their gazes, blocked the sword light, and also blocked her own body.

Therefore, Zhao Fu could not imagine, nor did he have the chance to witness how the sword that slipped out of his hand drew a very beautiful and graceful curve behind the girl.

Li Piaoqing stepped back gracefully, and a green sword light flashed out from behind the umbrella. When it appeared, it was so fast that no one could react.

The light shot out like a feather, and in one stroke it cut off Zhao Fu's neck.

[Jade Sword: Holding a New Corpse]

Li Piaoqing closed his umbrella and landed on the wall, tucked it under his armpit, reached out to catch the flying Shi Cui, and then shook off the water droplets and blood drops together.

“But I think most of this physical evidence is gone.

You can never count on this man being careless, he has done so many incredible things.

When you find the secret room, it is probably empty with only some unnecessary things left inside, and you will inevitably start to reflect on whether our speculation is too absurd.

So we had to resort to a strange strategy.

Zhao Fu.

The judicial officer of Bowang Prefecture Government, he is the link between the Seven Dragons and Huansi Tower in Bowang.

But he didn't leave any clues, and even prepared a chain of evidence that he took care of them because he accepted bribes from Qi Jiao. I pretended to believe it at the time, pretending to have no time to care about Qi Jiao and him who were about to be tied up, and casually approved a transfer order for detention.

The provincial government would impose the most common restrictions on him, because he had accumulated power over the years, and without orders, the local government would not take the initiative to upgrade him.

And he knew better than anyone how to break the small ring that bound the true Qi.

You can convey some confident information to the provincial government. If there are indeed traces left in the entire Bowang, he will break out of prison more anxiously than us and serve as our sniffer dog.

You know what I mean - Zhao Fu is not guilty of any crime, and the evidence is only vague, but if we catch Zhao Fu and break him out of prison to destroy the evidence, then everything will be settled.

Of course, I don't know what clues you can find in that dark room. I just think that maybe he uses a lot of swords.

In short, I think Master Li should be able to handle some impromptu matters easily." Li Piaoqing jumped down the wall lightly, but he was not completely relaxed in his heart. He just looked at the corpse thoughtfully.

At this time, Lao Ding in the house had been awakened and was pushing the door open with a sword in hand, looking vigilant.

Li Piaoqing put away his sword and smiled: "Uncle Ding."

"." Old Ding looked at the corpse on the ground in astonishment, then raised his head, "Young Master?"

"I want to ask you something." Li Piaoqing said seriously, "About twenty years ago, did anyone ask you to destroy many swords with engraved patterns on them?"

Just one word "yes", Li Piaoqing thought.

"." Old Ding was stunned for a long time, "What? Young Master, I only forge weapons here, I don't collect them."

Li Piaoqing took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"It has been like this for thirty years," Lao Ding added.

"Okay, I understand." Li Piaoqing lowered his eyes and looked at the corpse on the ground.

The white paper that led her here never came back again.

She was the only one standing in the rain on an autumn night. Li Piaoqing gently pressed her brows with an expressionless face.

Of course, she only followed the most likely scenario and came here. The actual situation would certainly be different, but wasn't Zhao Fu already here?
She stood still with her sword hanging down, and Lao Ding did not dare to move. Now this light and lively girl already had a temperament that could make people speechless. After a long time, she suddenly raised her eyes, and the route that Zhao Fu took when he leaped over suddenly turned into a stream of light in her mind.

What if this wasn't his destination?

Li Piaoqing looked forward along this line, where there were only the shadows of mountains in the dark night rain.

"Ding Bo."

"Eh!"

"Where is it from here?"

"What place? Just mountains and forests." Old Ding frowned, "Oh! Besides there is a tomb of the former Lord Yu Chaocai!"

Li Piaoqing suddenly opened his eyes.

"Oh right," Old Ding slapped his head, "more than 20 years ago, there were indeed no swords or knives, but I do remember a creepy thing - at that time, I was still running a shop on the hill. When I came back in the middle of the night, I saw a figure standing motionless beside Lord Yu's tomb. Finally, he threw something into the tomb, and then disappeared in a flash. I didn't know if it was a human or a ghost."

Li Piaoqing stared, raised his sword, turned around and was about to jump up, but the next moment his body stopped again.

At the gate of the courtyard, an old man who looked like an evil ghost was dragging a heavy iron chain and looking at her with a hissing sound.

Completely different from Zhao Fu.

Luo Defeng was subjected to the most severe punishment, but he really could not reveal much about the Huansi Tower, so his meridians were sealed and he was thrown into a water dungeon.

Zhao Fu didn't come here immediately after being released from prison.

He first released the almost forgotten old man.

Zhao Fu knew that Luo Defeng regarded the talented disciple as his life, and he also knew that Luo Defeng was filled with hatred that was forged in hell.

Now he has chosen his best target for revenge.

There will always be accidents, Li Piaoqing thought.

She had already understood that the world would not work according to her ideas.

A Xuanmen who was seriously injured and imprisoned for half a month is still a Xuanmen after all.

Even the five lives that carry the [Que Shou] and [Chuan Xin Candle] are still just five lives after all.

Luo Defeng roared hoarsely, the courtyard gate and brick wall shattered in the exploding mysterious energy, the rain curtain was cleared in an instant, and Li Piaoqing suffered internal injuries at the first moment, with bright blood flowing from his lips.

The heavy iron chain came through the air, and just one hit was enough to paralyze half of her body.

Li Piaoqing raised her eyes and looked at the gaze full of resentment. In fact, as long as she was given time, she could easily detonate the heart candle of such a person, but the candle sword at this time could only temporarily stop him for a moment.

Maybe nothing can be changed in a moment.

Li Piaoqing suddenly jumped up, lowered his eyes and stared at the terrifying figure, but at the same time he dropped the sword and umbrella in his hands.

She just raised her hand to her waist.

"I'm here," Pei Ye replied lazily as he pushed open the door, "You're so polite today—"

Stay.

What came into view was a simple cloak, with only one slender and beautiful hand at the waist, playing with and flipping a delicate and beautiful brass sword, as if to relieve tension.

This small sword has a unique shape, like a growing ice spike, but there is no Yun Bai Qi lingering on it.

Of course he recognized it and never forgot it.

The person who came tilted his head and slipped off his hood, revealing a beautiful face in front of him, with bright and lively eyes and delicate feather makeup fluttering in the corners of his eyes. For many years to come, this would be the makeup that made his heart tremble the most.

He stood stiffly at the door, motionless, until that familiar clear voice sounded a little awkwardly: "Why don't you let me in first? I ran up here secretly."
