Chapter 253 Ye Manqing was robbed

"Nangong's treasure is available to everyone?"

Mei Yinxue chewed these eight words carefully, and looked at Lu Ye beside her with confusion on her face. Mei Yinxue said: "Although I have not walked in the world for ten years, but based on my observations during this period, , the current world is not much different from 10 years ago."

"The Nangong family is one of the richest. Legend has it that their family's wealth is comparable to that of all the forces in the martial arts combined."

Lu Ye smiled and said: "Indeed, in this era, the wealth of the Nangong family has reached its peak. Even if the wealth of all the people in the martial arts world is gathered together, I am afraid that it may not be as good as the Nangong family."

Mei Yinxue said: "The current head of the Nangong family is named Nangong Changshu."

Of course Lu Ye knew what she wanted to say, so he continued: "Nangong Changshu and his wife are two of the Three Fengchen Heroes. They were both chivalrous and righteous, with unparalleled martial arts skills. Even after they retired from the world, they concentrated on running the Nangong family. The business of the family is also well-known and prosperous.”

Mei Yinxue said: "I really can't figure it out. How could the Nangong family, which is so famous and powerful, be targeted like this in one day? Almost the entire world of martial arts is fighting against Nangong. Are the aristocratic families enemies?”

Lu Ye sighed: "Do you think this matter is unreasonable?"

Mei Yinxue said: "It doesn't even make sense at all."

“You don’t have to worry about other things, but these two things must be done well.”

Lu Ye nodded and said, "Go ahead!"

Then he looked at Shangguan Jinhong and said: "As long as I take the Nangong family's property, I can become richest in the world. I only need to command all the temples and the martial arts power in the world will be mine!"

The words fell.

"Since something happened, it must have a reason."

Shangguan Jinhong turned around and left without looking back.

"Moreover, there is a person in the Nangong family, and the harm he can cause alone is more than the harm caused by all the evildoers in the Central Plains martial arts!"

Just as she once said, in martial arts the jungle is the strongest.

and.

Hearing Lu Ye mention his wife, Mei Yinxue instinctively thought of herself.

Shangguan Jinhong said: "I personally came forward to gather all the masters in the martial arts world who wanted to take advantage of the situation. On the one hand, I collected wealth and on the other hand, I took back the Nangong family's property?"

but.

Although Mei Yinxue is proud and stubborn, almost identical to Yao Yue in terms of personality, in the final analysis she is just a woman.

Mei Yinxue withdrew her eyes from looking at Shangguan Jinhong's back, and said with a smile: "I never thought that you are also interested in money."

Lu Ye nodded in affirmation and said to Mei Yinxue and Shangguan Jinhong beside him: "At this moment, heroes from all walks of life are attacking the Nangong family from multiple directions. Everyone fights for wealth and dies for wealth."

Mei Yinxue showed a surprised look and said: "The Nangong family actually has such a person? I have never heard of it."

Lu Ye already respected her enough, respected her, loved her, reasoned with her, taught her martial arts...

Mei Yinxue is a woman as innocent as Yao Yue. Her demands are not high at all and are almost the same as giving them away for free.

And for a woman like her, when her body surrenders, her heart almost surrenders as well.

After all, the reputation of the cold-blooded concubine spread throughout the world, and anyone in the martial arts world could surround her and kill her.

When you really get in touch with her, you can discover the emptiness and loneliness of this cold woman.

Although she has said that she has never been an ordinary woman who can be bullied at will.

If you really encounter an enemy that is powerful enough to be completely invincible, it is natural for you to be treated frivolously and disrespectfully by the other party.

"Pooh!"

Nothing like that has ever happened.

Mei Yinxue said nonchalantly: "I never care about these things."

Lu Ye couldn't bear it anymore, pushed her down and kissed her hard.

Lu Ye smiled and said, "I'm not interested in money. It's just that I am a lustful person and I always hope that my wife will live a more comfortable life."

And with just three words, Mei Yinxue, how could she find someone to ask for help or stand up for her?

Not long after the Zhongnan faction was resolved.

Although Lu Ye did use force!

But Mei Yinxue didn't find it difficult to accept it. She had almost had this awareness as early as 10 years ago.

Lu Ye said: "You still don't know the true basis of the matter, and I don't plan to tell you for the time being. But what I can tell you is that after knowing the true truth of this matter, you will know that the Nangong family will encounter such a situation." The risk can be said to be a matter of course.”

"Oh?"

Lu Ye glanced at Mei Yinxue and said, "This is an opportunity to replace the Nangong family and become the richest in the world!"

"At least half of the Nangong family's treasures are lost. If you want to make a big career in this world, this incident can be said to be a huge opportunity."

"Ok!"

Lu Ye's martial arts at the moment was a hundred times better than hers. If she really had this idea, she would have no ability to resist.

but.

Mei Yinxue asked: "What opportunity?"

The speed at which her body surrendered was far beyond her imagination.

And wholeheartedly, for the rest of his life.

Lu Ye's eyes sparkled and he looked at the woman in front of him.

Mei Yinxue, Yaoyue!

Two completely different women seemed to overlap in an instant.

Although the two people's characters are already destined, Lu Ye is still determined to make them happy from now on no matter what.

Lu Ye asked: "Is there anything you want to do?"

Mei Yinxue pondered for a while and said: "I just want to know one thing now, and that is the secret against the Nangong family!"

Lu Ye smiled, grabbed her wrist, and said with a smile: "If you want to know, I will take you to see the true truth of this matter."

While talking, the two people bought a pair of BMWs and rode westward towards the nearby Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain.

I saw horses galloping along the way, and the road was full of black-clothed and masked men.

Mei Yinxue showed confusion again and said coldly: "Unexpectedly, so many shameless men in black suddenly appeared in the Central Plains martial arts world."

Lu Ye didn't give any explanation.

Entering the back mountain of Shaolin, you immediately saw large groups of people gathering from all directions.

The leader of each team was a man in black whose face could not be seen clearly. Looking at the past, he noticed that there were no less than 30 teams of men in black.

And there are more and more mysterious figures coming from all directions.

Everyone saw an eminent monk from the Shaolin Temple in the hidden valley of the back mountain, and everyone stepped forward to salute.

Then the horse teams poured down the treasures behind them one by one and placed them in front of the host.

The host then ordered the Shaolin monks to carry the treasures one box after another.

……

"This……"

Mei Yinxue, who saw this scene with her own eyes, almost doubted life, and it completely overturned her own views and understanding.

She couldn't believe what she saw.

The master of Shaolin Temple, which is famous all over the world, personally came forward and summoned nearly thirty groups of criminal thieves under his command. They robbed all over the martial arts world. Then they gathered all the robbed treasures and moved them into his temple box by box.

As long as a normal person in the martial arts world sees this scene with his own eyes, no one will be shocked?

Mei Yinxue was so shocked that she could even stuff a quail egg into her shocked mouth.

Mei Yinxue said in disbelief: "What on earth is going on?"

"Nangong's treasure is available to everyone?"

Mei Yinxue said: "Is it possible that the person behind the conspiracy to deal with the Nangong family is actually the famous Shaolin Temple?"

After frowning and thinking for a while, Mei Yinxue felt that this possibility was not impossible, because in today's martial arts world, there are only a few people who can respond to hundreds of requests and make the Nangong family collapse with just one sentence.

Lu Ye shook his head and said: "It's not just Shaolin, it's the same with Wudang, it's the same with all the seven martial arts sects!"

"The seven sects carve up the Nangong family. Although they are doing the same thing, their attitudes towards each other are completely different. For example, the Diancang sect is a little more decent, so although they seize the treasure, they only take over it for Nangong. After the incident, We are willing to return it all, and it is precisely because of the existence of such a group of martial arts people who insist on justice that the Nangong family has an unbroken line, and can still rise again even after today's crisis has passed."

"Dian Cang Sect, they divide the wealth, they really have the last resort."

"Like the Wudang Sect, the head of the Wudang Sect, Taoist Master Fu Er, kept his integrity. He was also forced to carve up the situation due to pressure from above. However, he told his disciples not to harm people's lives and to handle their money as they pleased. Out of sight, out of mind."

"As for Shaolin..."

Lu Ye showed a hesitant look on his face and said: "I really don't know what they will use it for, but what is certain is that Shaolin will definitely not be able to return it to Nangong World after this incident. It will probably still be Stay and use it yourself.”

"So……"

Lu Ye hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "Instead of leaving it to them to use, it's better to leave it to me."

Mei Yinxue smiled and said with a smile: "I also feel that leaving it to these monks is far less than leaving it to us. It's just the two of us, how can we transport all this huge wealth away?"

"It doesn't matter!"

Lu Ye said: "The most indispensable thing in the world is gangs. Even in a small county, there are two or three gangs with dozens of people. After we subdued the leaders, we can naturally recruit them for our use."

Mei Yinxue said with a smile: "You stay here and check the whereabouts of the treasure. I'll call someone. We'll work separately. This group of old monks' work will be in vain."

The two men first injured the monks in the temple and then took away all the treasures openly.

Afterwards, after storing the treasures, they rushed all the way to Wudang Mountain.

However, Lu Ye and Mei Yinxue had already made up their minds to follow the same pattern and complete all seven sects within two months.

Shangguan Jinhong dealt with leftists and masters from all walks of life, and the two of them directly targeted the seven most prominent sects.

……

And just when the two people were lawless and went straight to Wudang.

Nangong Ping and Ye Manqing also used clues to target a large force with suspicious behavior - the Wudang Clan.

"The palm power left by the other party is the unique Wudang soft palm, so it is possible to leave scars."

Nangong Ping held the weapon left by the enemy in his hand. He looked at the injuries of the Nangong family guards and fell into deep thought for a long time.

suddenly.

There was a loyal old servant of the local industry. He came over to pay homage respectfully. When he saw Nangong Ping, he said: "Master, good news, it is really great news. Master, your fellow apprentices, sisters and brothers, heard Nangong After the trouble at home, I immediately brought people to help.”

"They've all arrived."

"Oh?"

After hearing the news, Nangong Ping couldn't help but turn his worries into joy, and said overjoyed: "Wherever they are now, we will go there to greet them!"

Ye Manqing also walked out of his room and said, "Nangong Ping, do you want to welcome your senior sisters and brothers? I will go with you."

Nangong Ping glanced at the heroic Ye Manqing in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and felt a little embarrassed about the grievances of Danfeng Shenlong, but in the end he nodded helplessly and said: "In that case, let's go together."

While talking.

Two people hurriedly greeted him.

However, the scene they saw first almost made both of them dumbfounded.

I saw Wanli Liuxiang and Ren Fengping, who they had known before, walking slowly in front of everyone, holding a folding fan.

Next to him, followed by the charming and charming Madam Guo Yuxia, and the third senior brother Jingshi and the swordsman Shi Chen, stood far behind the two of them, looking slightly embarrassed and gloomy.

Nangong Ping was stunned.

Even Ye Manqing was stunned.

Although Ye Manqing is not particularly familiar with the disciples of Zhijiao Villa, he still has basic common sense.

As long as they are in the martial arts world, basically everyone knows it.

The Tough Lady Guo Yuxia is the wife of the famous Tough Man Long Fei.

Long Fei and Guo Yuxia have always been inseparable from each other, and Meng ignored Jiao. It is already a strange thing to see Guo Yuxia alone at this moment. What is even more strange is that the tough lady Guo Yuxia is accompanied by another person. Two men.

Jingshi swordsman Shi Chen and his junior sister Wang Susu, now renamed Gu Yihong, also have the reputation of the Dragon Gate's double swords. Shi Chen is passionate about Gu Yihong, so how could he abandon his fourth senior sister and follow Guo Yuxia instead? Already?

Nangong Ping and Ye Manqing looked at each other, and Monk Zhang Er was confused.

Nangong Ping took two steps forward and said very respectfully: "Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother, how can it be you two, Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Sister?"

Guo Yuxia said with a smile on her face: "You think it's incredible that you, Senior Brother Long Fei, and I are separated, right?"

Nangong Ping said: "It's not incredible, it's just that Second Senior Sister shouldn't be with other irrelevant people."

"Humph!"

Nangong Ping had just said something slightly blaming. Guo Yuxia in front of him had already started scolding her, and said loudly and charmingly: "It's fine if you don't talk about this matter. If you talk about it, I have to say it." Wow, that senior brother of yours is so powerful. I just said a few more words, but he was so picky and dissatisfied that he even scolded me. I couldn't help him leave, but he didn't chase me out, he just sent his third junior brother to look for me."

"We encountered danger on the road and almost got killed. Thanks to Ren Fengping and Mr. Ren..."

Ye Manqing looked on with cold eyes.

Although Guo Yuxia has picked everything off, top women seem to be born with an extraordinary intuition.

No matter which angle Ye Manqing looked at, the woman in front of him was not as innocent as she said.

Nangong Ping looked at Shi Chen in embarrassment and said, "Are what Third Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister said true?"

Shi Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded bravely. Although the general situation seems to be true!

However, Shi Chen felt that there were several things that should not be concealed.

For example.

After Ye Manqing came to visit and invited Nangong Ping to the meeting that day, the four major disciples of Zhijiao Villa returned to Zhijiao Villa first.

When Shi Chen saw Nangong Ping and Ye Manqing, he realized that he had an opportunity and happily went to Gu Yihong to express his love.

However, he received a critical blow.

Gu Yihong spoke softly and pleasantly, saying that he had always treated him as his own brother and that he was a good person.

All in all, they are compliments.

But Shi Chen still heard a meaning from these words.

That is fate!

Even if Nangong Ping is already involved with Ye Manqing, Gu Yihong still remains obsessed with her?

Would you rather choose Nangong Ping, who was involved with Ye Manqing, than him?

In fact!

What Shi Chen didn't know was that, let alone Ye Manqing, Gu Yihong would not change his mind even if Mei Yinxue was added.

The protagonist's aura is so unreasonable!

The sad and helpless Shi Chen drank to soothe his sorrows, but was noticed by Guo Yuxia who was passing by.

She is ambitious and aims to control the world. Her third junior brother, who knows everything about her, can be said to be an excellent tool.

Almost as soon as her thoughts changed, Guo Yuxia had already made up her mind.

He secretly carried the drunken Shi Chen to his room.

When Shi Chen woke up, he was immediately stunned by what he saw in front of him. He probably only had two feelings left.

I feel like my sister-in-law smells really good.

Feeling 2: How should I explain to my senior brother and junior sister?

Shi Chen was completely stunned.

Guo Yuxia woke up and cried even more.

Shi Chen had no choice but to swear and promise to obey Guo Yuxia's instructions completely, and he just gave up on this matter.

Then Long Fei and Guo Yuxia broke up!

Originally, Gu Yihong should have been chasing Guo Yuxia when she escaped.

However, because of what happened to Guo Yuxia, Shi Chen naturally had a different feeling in his heart, and he couldn't help but chase him out first.

The two people walked side by side on the rivers and lakes.

What kind of person is Nangong Ping? Although Shi Chen has already spoken to testify, he still found several flaws in this matter.

First of all, why did Long Fei quarrel with Guo Yuxia?

Secondly, when Guo Yuxia escaped, no matter from which point of view, Long Fei or Gu Yihong should have chased her out. How could it be that the unrelated third senior brother chased her out instead? This thing is really strange?

However, this matter involves the second senior sister and the third senior brother.

Nangong Ping is just a young brother, and of course he is not qualified to interfere in the affairs of his senior brothers and sisters.

After thinking for a while, Nangong Ping said to Ren Fengping in front of him: "I am really grateful to Brother Ren for saving my senior brother and sister. I am here to visit you this time. There must be some place where I, Nangong Ping, can be of use, so I might as well say it directly. As long as it is something I can do, I, Nangong Ping, will never refuse in the slightest."

"it is good!"

Ren Fengping said with a smile on her face: "The person Ren likes to deal with the most in his life is the quick-tongued heroes like Brother Nangong. Since Brother Nangong has said this, Ren will not be polite. To be honest, this time we I came here to help the Nangong family and solve the conspiracy of everyone in the Central Plains martial arts community against the Nangong family."

"what?"

Ye Manqing said a little funny: "Is there something wrong with my ears? Or did I hear something wrong? Are you here to help the Nangong family resist the conspiracy of the Central Plains Wulin? You are obviously here to help, why do you say it instead? Are you here to ask for help?"

Ren Fengping said indifferently: "This matter is indeed something we want from the Nangong family. The reason can be said to be very simple, because we really want to protect the Nangong family, but if it is because of us that we want to protect the Nangong family, we hope that the entire All the Nangong family can be included in our power."

"It turns out that this is your real purpose."

Ye Manqing looked at the people in front of him coldly.

Ren Fengping smiled and said, "I wonder what you two think?"

Guo Yuxia also said with a smile on her face: "Junior brother, you must think carefully. We all know about the situation of the Nangong family now. Without the help of other forces, the consequences will be disastrous."

"I understand!"

Nangong Ping nodded thoughtfully.

Ren Fengping said in surprise: "You agreed!"

"no!"

Nangong Ping said very calmly: "Of course I also know that the Nangong family is now in an unprecedented crisis, but I also believe that since ancient times in the martial arts world, evil has never prevailed over good. As long as our Nangong family has a clear conscience, we will be able to calmly resolve this crisis. , the villain who is plotting and stirring up trouble behind the scenes will sooner or later reap the consequences and regret everything he has done."

Nangong Pingruo pointed out something.

There was a vague suspicion that Ren Fengping was the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Humph!"

After Ren Fengping heard this, she couldn't help but became furious and said, "Brother Nangong won't regret making such an irrational decision in the future?"

Nangong Ping said: "Whether it is now or in the future, I will not regret it."

"go!"

Ren Fengping and Guo Yuxia left angrily.

The three people had just walked out of the Nangong family's mansion. Behind the three of them, two people were already following them secretly.

How talented are Nangong Ping and Ye Manqing?

Ren Fengping is so high-profile, how can people not suspect him?

Originally, Nangong Ping and Ye Manqing could not imagine who possessed such great energy.

just now!

Isn’t that Ren Fengping?

Ren Fengping was about to forcefully deal with Nangong Ping and the two men. Although he had noticed that the two men were following him, he remained calm at all. He waited until the two men were lured out of the city before summoning a large group of people and surrounding the two men. among.

"Senior brother, senior sister!"

Nangong Ping glanced at the twelve warriors using Storm Bolas who surrounded him. He didn't care. He just looked at the two senior brothers and sisters following Ren Fengping in surprise.

There was an obvious look of embarrassment on Shi Chen's face.

Guo Yuxia took Shi Chen's hand and said coquettishly: "You have to think clearly, as long as Nangong Ping dies, not only me, but also the fourth junior sister, she will also be yours."

Shi Chen looked heavy and remained silent.

Nangong Ping stared blankly at the hands of the second senior sister and third senior brother, and couldn't help but feel his eyes split open.

The second senior sister is the senior brother's wife. The master entrusted the fourth junior sister to the third senior brother. The two of them...

Nangong Ping felt that the blood all over his body was boiling, and he rushed forward angrily.

only.

Ren Fengping mobilized the Storm Meteor Formation, and twelve of his men danced the Storm Meteor Hammer. Even if Nangong Ping added Ye Manqing, the two of them could only barely protect themselves, let alone deal with the enemy in front of them?

Two people fight to the death!

After rushing for more than eighty times and almost exhausted, Nangong Ping finally broke through a gap despite being seriously injured. Ye Manqing protected the seriously injured Nangong Ping and turned around to escape.

Ren Fengping quickly ordered the dead men around him to come forward and chase him.

However, he, Guo Yuxia, and Shi Chen just watched from the sidelines and did not personally participate in the siege.

……

Ye Manqing looked anxious and ran away in embarrassment.

Fortunately, Ren Fengping's men were extremely powerful when 12 of them stood together, but if they were chasing after them, their steps would be chaotic, and their power would not even be as powerful as % of the original strength.

Ye Manqing reacted, swung his sword, and killed one person first, and then continued a bloody battle, killing twelve dead men in a row, and escaped.

Wait until a big battle is over.

Ye Manqing just felt that his hands and feet were weak, and it seemed that not even a trace of the strong power in his dantian was gone.

The energy is exhausted and the body is weak.

At this moment, the two people can be said to be at the end of their rope.

Moreover, before he knew it, he had escaped to a deserted place, where no one could be seen in all four directions.

If there is really no one around, then it may not be a good thing for them now. However, at this moment, what the two of them are most worried about is encountering lawless gangsters.

It was as if he knew what Ye Manqing was worried about.

As soon as her thoughts came to an end, she saw a young man in brocade clothes riding a horse with two young boys.

The sword in Ye Manqing's hand fell to the ground, and he fell to the ground helplessly.

It seemed that he noticed the movement of the two people.

A young man in white clothes got off the saddle and stepped forward to check the movements of the two people.

The man in white strode forward, squatted down, and saw Ye Manqing, whose fragile body was weak and collapsed on the ground.

This man in white is none other than a disciple of the Kunlun Sect, one of the seven martial arts sects, accepted by Taoist Ruyuan many years ago.

When Shuai Tianfan was rampant in the world, Zhan Donglai, who was known as the two saviors of the Central Plains martial arts world together with Nangong Ping.

Well known.

Zhan Donglai is a famous knight who is not particularly particular about the right path.

Stretching out a palm and slowly peeling the hair off Ye Manqing's face, Zhan Donglai's eyes glowed in an instant.

"Beautiful, so beautiful, really beautiful!"

Zhan Donglai said in admiration again and again: "Is there such a beautiful woman in the world?"

Then he glanced indifferently at Nangong Ping, who was lying aside, and said with a proud smile: "Such a heavenly woman, followed by such a useless man, is like a flower stuck in the cow's head. Shit, instead of following him, it’s better to come and fight with me to the east.”

As thoughts flickered, Zhan Donglai stretched out a hand and slowly touched Ye Manqing's extremely delicate face, without even the slightest scruple.

Ye Manqing fell into a deep sleep, completely unaware of what happened.

Zhan Donglai became more and more excited, and his hands became more unrestrained.

He actually reached out and pulled Ye Manqing's belt.

Nangong Ping woke up from a daze, and suddenly saw the scene in front of him. His eyes were split open, and he shouted angrily: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Nangong Ping's eyes were almost like spitting fire as he looked at Zhan Donglai in front of him.

In his extreme anger, he even completely forgot about his injuries.

Zhan Donglai was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Nangong Ping, laughed loudly and said, "So it's you, are you the man she has no use for?"

"Don't worry!"

"Let me use her first. After using her, you will definitely benefit from her. As a thank you gift, I will teach you a martial arts skill that is comparable to the top masters in the world."

Nangong Ping's eyes and canthus were all cracked.

Although he was furious at first, he still had ten thousandth illusion.

But at this moment...

Nangong Ping just wanted to ask, what does it mean to use her, and what does it mean to be indispensable for you?

Nangong Ping felt that his brain was congested, and he forgot everything for a moment. He rushed forward like an angry lion.

"Oh?"

Zhan Donglai said nonchalantly: "Unexpectedly, there are still two more seconds?"

While talking, the two parties had already exchanged three moves.

Zhan Donglai's martial arts skills are comparable to those of Mei Yinxue, who has not obtained Mingyu Skills, and is better than Nangong Ping.

Nangong Ping was seriously injured again at this moment, and of course he was no match.

After just a few rounds, he was taught a lesson for the second time.

The whole person was beaten upside down and stepped on Zhan Donglai's feet.

"It's so miserable?"

Lu Ye and Mei Yinxue appeared on the road to Wudang Mountain on horseback and saw what happened in front of them.

Zhan Donglai beat Nangong Ping until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen several times, and he seemed to have only one breath left.

Then he laughed loudly and stepped forward to untie Ye Manqing's clothes.

Lu Ye sighed helplessly.

The two men rode forward and appeared beside the three people at the same time. The horses' hooves walked around Zhan Donglai, Ye Manqing and Nangong Ping.

Mei Yinxue is as cold as ice.

Eyes like cold stars looked at Zhan Donglai.

Lu Ye looked at Nangong Ping with sympathy. He had long known that without Mei Yinxue's help, this man would be miserable, but he didn't expect that he would be so miserable?

Nangong Ping is certainly miserable?

But Zhan Donglai...

This is also a disciple of Kunlun, the savior of the Central Plains martial arts?

Lu Ye remembered that Shuai Tianfan dominated the world and ran rampant in the martial arts world, and he never did such a shameless thing!

You Zhongyuan Hope, a famous righteous family, actually do such a thing?

What a disgrace!
