I Honor

Uproar

Meng Qi let out a few breaths slowly to calm down his emotions. Since he had expected it, he was not too shocked, but felt that the matter became more and more confusing. He didn’t know who was telling the truth, who was lying, and what Which are the truth and which are lies.

This was not a good time to sort out clues and words. Meng Qi carefully observed his surroundings, and only after confirming that there was no ambush, he opened the door and walked in.

There were nine corpses in the house, besides Han Shi, Wu Cheng and two attendants, there were four other people, all dressed in rags, like coolies on the pier.

After careful examination of the wounds, Meng Qi found that the nine people were all fatal in one blow. The wound was in the throat, which belonged to the wound of a sword stabbing. There were no wounds in the room.No trace of a fight.

The martial arts of the shooter is really terrifying

Meng Qi suspected that the murderer was the black shadow last night. He was good at using swords, he could break through his own golden bell shield defense, and he also had amazing skills to affect other people’s senses. It was not difficult to achieve this effect when Han Shi and others were caught off guard. If he hadn’t been sure to kill him within two or three swords, and had to worry about the rainstorm, he might be killed secretly.

However, this was just Meng Qi’s guess, and he couldn’t be sure it was that black shadow.

He looked back and forth, and suddenly frowned, because he found that the expressions of Han Shi and the others were quite strange. They were not frightened or stunned, but lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, showing a sense of respect and relief.

“Could it be the high level of the Snow God Palace? Why did he silence it?” Meng Qi thought suspiciously.

After confirming that there were no traces worth paying attention to in the entire courtyard except the tunnel leading to the “South-North Link” shop, Meng Qi quietly exited the place, changed directions constantly, made a big circle, and returned to the vicinity of Youfu. Observe the movement inside, while thinking about the whole thing.

Because there are too many mysteries in it, anyone may lie, Meng Qi kept flashing new ideas, but he didn’t have a clear train of thought.

The white-clothed sword god’s challenge made the city lord’s mansion a bit chaotic, because Cui Xu needed to retreat to “sharpen the sword”, so he handed over all the affairs in the mansion to Miss Cui, Cui Jinxiu, as uncles, You Tongguang, Mu Shan, Fei Zhengqing consciously stayed and assisted her in dealing with different things in an orderly manner, gradually calming down the chaotic situation.

Because of this, it was already midnight when You Tongguang returned to his mansion, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and he couldn’t see his fingers.

“Father, the city lord has accepted Luo Qing’s challenge.” As soon as he entered the door, his third son You Hongbo greeted him.

You Tongguang nodded slightly: “Fifth Brother has been looking forward to a grandmaster-level duel for a long time, and wants to use this to stimulate his own potential and get closer to the illusory boundary between man and god.”

He spoke in detail, because You Hongbo is the son he is most satisfied with. The eldest son, You Hongwen, is obsessed with poetry and books. You Hongshi was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he was not mature in his 30s or 40s.

Only the youngest son, You Hongbo, has learned his own true martial arts skills and is quite talented in business affairs, so he has already handed over all the affairs of the Escort Bureau to him. If he does well, the family business will be his in the future.

You Tongguang has never cared about the distinction between elders, younger sons and concubines. He only believes in one thing: in the Jianghu, only talented people live in the family business, otherwise the whole family will die without a place to bury them.

“It’s been so many years since there’s been a grandmaster battle,” You Hongbo said with longing.

You Tongguang chuckled: “There are quite a few fights between the masters, but most of them are just clicked, and there are no rumors. Nowadays, such formal duels are indeed rare, but I have confidence in my fifth brother.”

He paused and said, “Hongbo, what happened to those escorts?”

You Hongbo didn’t dare to look into his father’s eyes, and said embarrassingly, “I haven’t found it yet, if you let me know which bastard made it, I will definitely tear him apart.”

“Hmph, Mr. You has such a temper. Now is not the time to look for traitors. The darts are the most important thing. If you can’t find them, then prepare another batch as soon as possible. If so, hum.” You Tongguang said in a rare voice. He lowered his face and taught his son a lesson.

Naturally, You Hongbo didn’t dare to contradict his father, he smiled flatteringly, and accompanied You Tongguang into the inner courtyard and the study together with the housekeeper and others.

You Tongguang habitually went to the study first, so he unlocked the brass lock, pushed the door, creaked, and opened it slowly, but he stopped suddenly, the smile faded from his face, and he looked solemnly into the room.

“Father, what’s the matter?” You Hongbo asked in confusion.

You Tongguang said in a deep voice, “Someone has entered the study.”

The housekeepers, guards, etc. were panicked, it was their fault

You Hongbo knew that his father’s martial arts were special and he was good at sensing different aura changes, so he had no doubts, went in first, and looked around.

“There is a letter.” He pointed to the neatly folded white paper in front of the white jade Buddha statue.

“Bring it here.” You Tongguang ordered the guards.

The guard stepped up, tested the non-toxicity with silver needles, picked up the letter, and presented it to You Tongguang respectfully.

When You Tongguang opened the letter, You Hongbo moved over curiously, wanting to read the contents:

“I heard that you have a white jade Buddha statue, which is carved by exquisite hands. It’s amazingly crafted. I’m so yearning for it. If I look at it today, I won’t deceive me.”

“However, if you don’t ask yourself, it’s not the way to be a guest. Leave this letter and tell you sincerely. After six days, when you step on the moon to pick it up, Jun Su Yada will not let me go back and forth in vain.”

“Shen Monkey pays respects.”

After reading the content, he was shocked and angry, afraid and annoyed, wishing to be born and tearing the monkey, but also hoping that the twelve-faced god would retreat when he knew the difficulty.

“It’s too much to bully others,” You Tongguang said with gritted teeth, his face sinking like water, and he threw the letter directly on the ground.

“Father, you must give Shenhou a good look.” Thinking of his father’s strength and the martial arts of the city lord’s uncle, You Hongbo shouted angrily, suppressing his fear and fear.

The stewards and guards looked at each other, when did Shenhou, one of the twelve gods, become an elegant thief?

“Go and invite some of your uncles over tomorrow.” There was no trace of a smile on You Tongguang’s face anymore.After pondering for a while, he said, “Your Uncle Cui is going to retreat and sharpen his sword, so don’t disturb him for now.”

After saying this, he gradually suppressed his emotions and said calmly, “By the way, let’s spread the word.”

Meng Qi observed You’s house for half a night, but after You Tongguang returned to the house and found the letter, apart from being furious, he responded calmly and did not do anything suspicious, which made him gain nothing and had to return early Ordered temples.

The next day, after Meng Qi adjusted his breath and practiced martial arts, he walked leisurely to the “Jueshan Building”, intending to have lunch and inquire about news.

Along the way, he bought a bamboo hat, a set of common clothes, and a set of white monk robes that he had always dreamed of.

After entering the restaurant, before Meng Qi could sit down, he kept hearing topics related to Cui Xu and Luo Qing.

“A duel at the master level, this is a rare event in a hundred years”

“Yeah, I never thought we could experience such a grand event.”

“It’s a pity that, except for the invited celebrities, none of us can enter the City Lord’s Mansion, and we can’t see this peerless duel.”

“Yeah, it’s so fucking regrettable, but I heard that Cao Manzi is setting up a bet on the outcome of this duel. Do you think the city lord is more likely to win, or the sword god in white is more powerful?”

As soon as this question came up, the entire restaurant was chattering, analyzing the strength comparison between the two sides.

“The city lord has been famous for more than 20 years, and he has been a master for ten years. How can Luo Qing, who has just joined the master, be able to compete? I am optimistic about the city lord.”

“Not necessarily, not necessarily. Luo Qingjian tried the world, and he has never met an opponent. No one can block his three swords. His momentum is in full swing. However, the city lord has rarely made a move in recent years. I am afraid that he does not have that kind of sharpness.”

“Three years ago, when the city lord broke the Loushan School’s seven-star sword formation, he used a total of five moves, but the white-clothed sword god succeeded in breaking the formation with just two strikes.”

“In three years, maybe the city lord has opened another secret treasure.”

There were different opinions, and no one could convince anyone, so they almost started a fight. Fortunately, there was a gamble set up, and they turned the anger from the dispute into a bet.

Meng Qi raised his chopsticks to eat the delicious food, listened to the discussion, and learned that Cui Xu, the lord of the city, had started to retreat, Miss Cui was in charge of all things in the city, and also learned that the sword god in white was living in the Great Compassion Temple, burning incense and fasting, bathing and washing the sword, waiting for the day of the duel.

The young city lord Cui Jinhua is really not in Tianding City. Meng Qi is most concerned about this point, because the information he currently has is indistinguishable from true to false, so he had to find a way to “ask” Cui Jinhua, another person involved.

“By the way, do you know that Shenhou reappeared last night?” Cao Manzi asked his followers to put away their bets and flaunted the news.

“What’s the matter and who did Shenhou kill?” Many of the guests in the restaurant are decent people, but there are also many people from the Jianghu, so they are very interested in similar news from the Jianghu. You must pay attention to the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Cao Manzi shook his head slowly, and pretended to be authentic: “Shen Hou didn’t kill anyone, but sneaked into the house of the Living God of Wealth and left a letter in the study.”

“What letter?” Someone asked eagerly.

“It is written in the letter that Wen Jun has a white jade Buddha statue.” Cao Manzi had a good memory.

Everyone gasped when they heard this, this kind of provocative behavior, this kind of bold display by a master of art, made them both shocked and yearning.

“The Living God of Wealth is the number one person under the Grand Master, Shenhou is definitely not his opponent”

“That’s right, he stole the Buddha statue secretly, and left a provocative letter, telling me where to put the face of the living God of Wealth. After six days, he failed and returned.”

“That’s right, the Living God of Wealth has extraordinary martial arts and has made many friends. Six days later, more than a dozen masters surrounded the white jade Buddha statue. I see how Shenhou stole it.”

“I heard that if the duel of the city lord was not imminent, the Living God of Wealth would have planned to send the white jade Buddha statue to the city lord’s mansion. Hehe, Shenhou would have to admit defeat at that time.”

“Speaking of which, Shenhou is also insidious. The timing is just right, so the city lord has no time to help.”

The guests in the restaurant were discussing happily, after all, it is rare in Jianghu to have such a big event happen frequently.

Meng Qi was very satisfied with the observation. What he wanted was this kind of effect. The decisive battle between the white-clothed sword god and Cui Chengzhu was imminent. If one of the nearby twelve-faced gods was free, they had to come and watch the battle to improve their knowledge. At this time, he would stay The letter created a big commotion, and the twelve-faced gods who came would naturally look for Shenhou, so that they could find the hope of completing the side mission.

Of course, this was not safe enough. After eating and drinking, Meng Qi picked up the bamboo hat he bought earlier and put it on his head, and quietly followed behind Cao Manzi who left. :
