I Honor

Fifty-two

“The life and death of Second Young Master Tang is uncertain.” Qi Zhengyan’s first reaction was to confirm the news.

The buddy nodded vigorously: “Yes, it is said that Second Young Master Tang jumped into the water after being injured, and the assassin also jumped down, and he didn’t show up again after that.”

Qi Zhengyan’s expressionless face was dignified, and he ordered the staff: “Get out of the city quickly and report this matter to Mr. Lin.”

Meng Qi listened calmly, and waited until the buddy left and the two of them returned to the backyard before asking, “Second Young Master Tang is very important.”

Qi Zhengyan nodded slightly: “He is the grandson of the eldest son. If Mr. Tang passes away, according to the etiquette, he should inherit the position of head of the family.”

“Where’s his father?” Meng Qi asked suspiciously.

Qi Zhengyan roughly explained: “Mr. Tang’s branch is the head of the family, and has always held the position of the head of the family. Mr. Tang himself has three sons and four daughters. The daughters either marry other aristocratic families, or marry rising forces or sects, and the son dies of illness. One of them died in an accident while traveling the world, and the only surviving Uncle Tang also died when Second Young Master Tang was practicing kung fu and became obsessed with magic, leaving Second Young Master Tang and Miss Tang Jiu alone.”

“So that’s how it is.” Meng Qi finally understood the status of the son surnamed Tang in the family, and asked intentionally, “Since he is the future patriarch, why didn’t the Tang family send a master of Jiuqiao to protect him?”

Qi Zhengyan said without expression: “As the only grandson of the eldest son, Mr. Tang Er has been favored by Mr. Tang since he was a child. He is not used to human beings. He is arrogant and domineering, extravagant and lustful. The elixir opened his eyes, and later, because of face, he clashed with Young Master Ye San, who is also a dude, and the two sides agreed to a martial arts competition.”

“Mr. Ye San stole Tianshi Di Tingwan from home, opened his ears before the competition, and humiliated Mr. Tang Er with absolute strength. It is said that he was beaten to the knees. After this incident, the second Mr. Tang who is good-faced Feeling ashamed to see others, taking advantage of the elders in the family not paying attention, quietly left the city, wandering around the world, missing, so angry that Mr. Tang was furious, anyone in the family who dared to mention Mr. Tang or Tang Jing in front of him would have to be hit with a cane.”

Meng Qi nodded lightly: “Master Tang is seriously ill. If this bad news reaches his ears, I’m afraid he won’t be able to hold on for long. Besides, the position of Patriarch is vacant, and internal struggles are inevitable. I don’t know who the Huanhua faction wants to support.”

Qi Zhengyan took two steps with his hands behind his back: “For the rest of the houses, the only ones capable of competing for the head of the house are Tang Erye, Tang Wuye and Tang Qiye. Tang Wuye has always been on good terms with our faction, and Mr. Lin favors him.”

“Actually, when I entered Huanzhou this time, I happened to be on the same boat as Mr. Wan Dagong and Mr. Tang Ergong, and witnessed their murder.” Meng Qi got a general idea of ​​the situation. Fang told Qi Zhengyan what had happened to him, including the discovery of the body and the human skin mask of the Second Young Master Tang, as well as the speculation that the Second Young Master Tang Jing escaped disaster and returned home.

Qi Zhengyan fell into deep thought, before saying for a while: “Cousin, your guess should be right. After you said that, I remembered that some time ago, a stranger inquired about Mr. Tang Er in Yicheng, but there was no trace of him in the past few days. .”

The assassin succeeded. Naturally, there is no need to inquire any more.

“Don’t publicize the death of Second Young Master Tang, let the Tang family have something to think about, so as not to cause a sudden change.” Meng Qi pondered. “You’d better spread the news that the third son Ye didn’t want his enemy to go back to his hometown, so he hired an assassin to kill the second son Tang, and then killed the eldest son Wan to silence his words.”

This kind of rumor does not require everyone to believe it, but only sows the seeds of doubt, so that there will be cracks in the possible refuge. After all, the third son of Ye is vicious and has a grudge against the second son of Tang. Xiang inherited the position of Patriarch and was able to mobilize a lot of resources, even valuable soldiers. Young Master Ye was in danger. Although he would not die, he would not be humiliated.

Qi Zhengyan nodded slightly: “OK.”

He thought for a while, and said: “You’d better not go out during this time, the situation is just at the moment when the whole body is mobilized, although no one dares to attack me first, which provokes the wrath of the Huanhua Sword Sect, but yourThe identity is more subtle, and the Ye family can’t afford to lose face. ”

Can’t protect Ke Qing, let him be killed in a grandiose manner in the mansion, how can Ke Qing be made to work for the Ye family in the future

Although hurting the relatives of the disciples of the Huanhua Sword Sect will also make the Huanhua Sword Sect angry. After all, a sect cannot even protect the relatives of its own disciples, and there will always be problems with centripetal force and cohesion. , did not take the life of Qi Zhengyan’s cousin, but only broke his tendons and tendons, and preserved the possibility of a normal life outside of martial arts in the future, but there are some exceptions, such as this relative causing trouble first, being retaliated by others, The Huanhua Sword Sect may not be willing to get involved, otherwise it will be easy for someone with a heart to take advantage of this to make a fuss.

“Okay, I came here to live a stable life and concentrate on practicing martial arts.” Meng Qi said without hesitation, and then looked at Qi Zhengyan with a smile, “Senior Brother Qi, we haven’t discussed each other yet, so choosing a date is worse than bumping into it. what now”

He really wanted to try the power of “Huntian Baojian”.

Since Qi Zhengyan couldn’t explain the origin of the exercises for the time being, he practiced “Huntian Treasure Mirror” alone, and he could only practice one or two during the reincarnation mission. The death mission was imminent, so he was inevitably a little nervous, worried that the actual combat would not be enough, so Meng Qi’s proposal Right in his arms, he nodded unceremoniously: “Go into the training room.”

He opened up a row of wing rooms in the backyard and turned it into a spacious practice room, so as not to be spied on while practicing martial arts in the yard.

The practice room was paved with bluestone, and there were some fine iron ore and other things sprinkled on it. Meng Qi knew what was going on at a glance. This was to cooperate with the “Tu Kunlun” cultivation.

He didn’t say much, took off the package, took out Xiejie, then threw it aside, pulled out Bingque, left sword and right sword, without slighting it.

In the previous battles, apart from An Guoxie and You, Meng Qi’s opponents were of a high level, but their martial arts were not high enough. Compared with most of the top ten masters who were based on outstanding martial arts, their overall strength seemed insufficient. , and “Huntian Treasure Mirror” ranks among the masters of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the peerless divine kung fu, which is almost the same as others, and Meng Qi’s own mysterious kung fu
