Chapter 34: The Man Behind the Scenes
When Zhao Qin'er came to Jiang Chen's courtyard, she saw two figures on the window lattice whispering, and the two of them seemed to be very mysterious, and then Zhao Qin'er took a light step, approached and listened, only to hear Jiang Chen say: "Sister Xiangming, there seems to be something worried about my mother's expression at dinner today." ”
Xiangming whispered, "It should be related to the assassin who appeared yesterday, but I don't know the specifics." Jiang Chen said with a little worry: "Didn't the assassin be caught yesterday? Xiang Ming paused for a moment and said, "Commander Chi came with news from Commander Chi before dinner today that the assassin who was captured yesterday had escaped, and I think this is why the princess is worried. I only heard Jiang Chen say: "It's all because I'm not strong enough, otherwise I can share my mother's worries." I only heard Xiangming say: "Chen'er, don't worry, otherwise you will go crazy like that day, calm down, the princess said, 'Cultivation matters, pay attention to gradual progress, you must lay a solid foundation.'" Besides, the princess is so powerful, she will definitely be able to solve those people." ”
I saw the small shadow on the window lattice nodded, and said, "Sister Xiangming, don't worry, I won't let my mother worry about me anymore, I meditate for two hours every day!"
Zhao Qin'er listened to the conversation between the two people in the room, and also understood that Jiang Chen's calm yesterday was faked, but she didn't want to worry too much, her heart was mixed, and she was determined to solve this matter tomorrow. didn't go in to disturb Jiang Chen and the others, turned around and walked out of Jiang Chen's courtyard, returned to the dark study, sat at the table, and thought about what loopholes there would be in tomorrow's deployment. As for the topography of the moon platform, Zhao Qin'er is very familiar, when he was young, he and Yue Qianming and a few people went around the famous mountains and rivers around Kyoto, and the moon platform is also a place where several people often go, it is said that there are ancient ruins there, and mysterious things happen from time to time, Zhao Qin'er and others have been there many times, but they have never met.
When the moon set and the sun rose, Zhao Qin'er suddenly opened her eyes, and the purple-gold light flashed in her beautiful eyes. Last night, Zhao Qin'er was afraid that the people behind the scenes would play tricks, so she let her guard down and start to do it, and Zhao Qin'er, who had not worked all night, was still full of energy. Zhao Qin'er went to Jiang Chen's courtyard first, and saw that Jiang Chen was already refining and cultivating in the courtyard, and Xiangming had already gotten up and waited aside, everything was as usual, and her hanging heart was relaxed.
When Zhao Qin'er was about to leave, a servant came to report: "The three of Qianming Divine General, Kongyu Divine General and Wei Chi Commander are visiting. Zhao Qin'er didn't know what was important for these three people to come here early in the morning, she didn't send a message to them yesterday, could it be that the eldest brother sent the three of them here to assist her, with questions Zhao Qin'er came to the main hall with the servants, and saw that Yue Qianming and the three of them were already sitting on a chair waiting for her, and the three of them all had a page of paper in their hands. Zhao Qin'er also walked to a chair and sat down and asked, "What happened in the city? Yue Qianming picked up the letter paper in his hand and asked, "Didn't you receive such a message?"
Zhao Qin'er took the page in Yue Qianming's hand, glanced at it, but it was exactly the same as the content on the mysterious letter she received, and then looked at Qin Kongyu and Wei Chi Zhongming and asked, "You two also received such a letter?" Qin Kongyu and Yu Chi Zhongming nodded, and Yue Qianming said, "Sure enough, you also received it." After a pause, he said, "We have already compared the three letters, and the contents and handwriting are all exactly the same, and it is certain that they were written by the same person." Then he asked, "Your letter?"
Zhao Qin'er replied: "I have already thrown it." Then he asked Yue Qianming and the three of them: "What are the three of you planning?" Before Yue Qianming could speak, Wei Chi Zhongming preemptively said: "I have mobilized the forbidden army to ambush near the lookout platform. After Yue Qianming and Qin Kongyu glanced at each other, Qin Kongyu said: "Since this person dares to send a message to the four of us, I think we have already made a plan, and Qianming and I have also mobilized the guard battalion to go to the moon watchtower." Then he said: "Qin'er, I don't think you need to go, it's enough to have the three of us as bait, if you make any mistakes, we can't explain to you." ”
Zhao Qin'er glared at Qin Kongyu and said, "When did I become a burden, do you think that I can't beat you now that my cultivation is high?" Qin Kongyu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I didn't mean that, I'm just afraid that you are in danger, if you have an accident, what will you do in the future?"
"Don't worry about you, I've already asked my eldest brother to mobilize the Shadow Group to assist me. Zhao Qin'er glanced at Qin Kongyu and said, Qin Kongyu heard Zhao Qin'er say this, and it was not easy to say anything, but Zhao Qin'er asked Yue Qianming again: "This person first made such a big battle in Feng'an City, and then passed on the book to the four of us, what is the purpose? Could it be our former enemy, this person is very familiar with my behavior and character, I thought about it all night yesterday and didn't think of who it was, you three should also think about it." ”
Yue Qianming frowned and said, "I also feel that this person is very familiar with us. Qin Kongyu answered: "I also feel this way, but although the four of us were frivolous when we were young, we didn't do anything to destroy the family and the clan, and it was common to punish bullies, but it didn't get to the point of dying." This time it was clearly for the four of us. ”
Wei Chi Zhongming looked at the three of them and frowned, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it so much, since you dare to meet us after making trouble, you will not be able to escape from him, and you will not know all about it after you capture him." ”
Several people discussed the deployment again, and made a plan for possible unexpected situations. The time was already noon, Zhao Qin'er prevented the man's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, threatened Jiang Chen with him, and made some arrangements in Fengluo Villa, and asked Xiangming to take care of Jiang Chen, and Yue Qianming and the three of them went out of Fengluo Villa and went straight to the moon platform.
The breeze was blowing all the way, and a few people rode their mounts to enjoy the scenery of early spring on the side of the road, and hurried to the moon platform, only to see a tall mountain peak appear in front of the four people, but the peak seemed to be cut off with a sword, and it was called the moon platform because there was a literati who wrote many poems about the moon after watching the moon here, and gradually the name of the mountain peak here was remembered by everyone, but the name of "moon watching" was passed down to the present tense. The four got off the mount, climbed the steps, walked along the stone steps repaired by the predecessors without hurrying, the four of them arrived at the end of the day, but calmed down, there are several newly repaired pavilions next to this path, adding a bit of fun, the four people walked and stopped, talking about the things that came here to find adventures before, they couldn't help laughing. All the way to the peak relaxed, there is no building on the peak seems to be extremely wide and wide, the ground seems to be paved by a whole stone, smooth and tidy, there is no trace of people on the peak, the four people stand on the edge of the peak, blowing the breeze to enjoy the surrounding scenery, the mountains in the distance have been wrapped in tender green, the color of green and yellow is very good-looking.
The four of them waited for the arrival of the person who left them a letter on the outside, secretly vigilant against the wind and grass around them, although Yue Qianming and the other three were laughing naturally, one hand was on the hilt of the sword intentionally or unintentionally, ready to draw the sword out of the sheath at any time. Among the four, only his blade could not be included in the trick point, which is also a shortcoming of Wu Xiu, but it is also Wu Xiu's strength. Although Yue Qianming's swordsmanship is not weak, it is a method to lure the enemy, but his real killer weapon is his own fist technique, which often gives the enemy a fatal blow. With the right combination to win by wonder, Yue Qianming integrated the art of war into his cultivation, which was also his original intention of teaching Jiang Chen's "The Way of Military Exercise", hoping that Jiang Chen could realize his own method of fighting from this art of war.
After the four of them talked for a while, they counted the hours, and it was already close to six o'clock in the afternoon, and the person who had asked them to come had not yet appeared. The four of them were a little worried about whether their deployment had been discovered by that person, and they were too frightened to come. Zhao Qin'er was still a little worried about the situation in Fengluo Villa, and was about to let Yue Qianming and the three of them retreat, when she suddenly heard a voice from behind the four of them: "It is worthy of being a member of the 'Khan Qing Society' who once dominated the capital of the Zhao Xin clan. He said jokingly: "It's just that you put on such a big battle doesn't look like a scene of reunion of old friends at all, why have you become timid in a high position now?"
Zhao Qin'er and the others heard the voice, and hurriedly turned around to see a person wrapped in a black cloak from head to toe, listening to the voice was a man, but this voice was unfamiliar to everyone, and the voice was low and ethereal. Just heard the person mention the "Khan Qing Society", the four of them were shocked, this club was established by Zhao Lingyun, in order to deal with Zhao Lingwu's forces, the members are scarce, the main members are the four of them plus Zhao Pu and Qianyuan, and the rest is the dozen or so young talents of the Zhao Xin clan who were absorbed by Zhao Lingyun at that time and were consistent with everyone's ideals, and now most of them are serving in the court. However, the title of "Khan Qingshe" is only circulated among the people in the community, and it means "shining in the annals of history and passing through the ages". The high-level and people in Feng'an City did not know that such an association had ever existed. Zhao Qin'er and the four of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes, Zhao Qin'er took the lead and asked: "You said that you are an old man, then who are you?
The man smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, have you forgotten about a certain family so quickly? After you left a book and ran away, a certain family was sad for a long time." ”
After the man said this, he raised his hand and slowly took off the hat on his head, Zhao Qin'er and the four of them looked at this person nervously, the man seemed to be deliberate, he still couldn't see his face after taking off his hat, and there was still a black aura armor attached to his face, and he chuckled again: "So you still can't recognize me?"
Zhao Qin'er couldn't penetrate the black aura attached to the person's face when she used her consciousness, and she was secretly shocked in her heart, and shouted, "Pretending to be a ghost, I, Zhao Lingqin, will have an old friend like you." "Be the first to attack the man. He had already pinched the seal, and a ball of purple-gold aura was thrown towards the person, only to see that the person left an afterimage in the same place, avoiding Zhao Qin'er's illusion outside his body, Qin Kongyu summoned his long sword and attacked the person's foothold, followed by Yue Qianming and Wei Chi Zhongming to besiege the black figure and compress the person's activity space.
As long as this person is trapped in the illusion, it is only a matter of time before he is solved, and the person is like a ghost who escapes from the encirclement of Yue Qianming and the three of them, and once again avoids Zhao Qin'er's aura, this person seems to be very familiar with the fighting methods of Zhao Qin'er and the others, and after getting out of the trap, he was not harmed in the slightest. I saw that the man came out of trouble, and when his foothold was not stable, the shadow behind him actually stood up, and a dull short sword stabbed at the heart of the man's back chest, but the man didn't seem to notice it at all, his body did not move, facing Zhao Qin'er and the four of them, and his state was very relaxed.
