Chapter 206: Who Committed Murder!
Regarding the identity of the mysterious second master, Qi Tian and Erhu actually had a rough guess, first of all, the guy in the big red robe next to him was obviously the father-in-law who was only available in the palace, and the only one who could be so valued by Yao Chenxi and the people of Xuanluo Mountain was one of the princes.
However, according to previous information, there are clearly no two princes among the six princes of the East China Sea Alliance who want to compete for the throne.
As for the reasons, there are different opinions, some say that he was born with a disability and cannot have children, some say that he has no intention of national affairs, and just wants to be a happy prince, and some say that he has a dissolute personality and often contradicts his father, which makes Zhuang Mingqu very annoyed, so he hates this son very much, so even Zhuang Huiyao, who is six years younger than him, has been named King Lin, he is still an ordinary prince, and now at the age of twenty-two, he does not even have a formal official position and honorific title.
There are countless such statements and speculations, but none of them can be verified, saying that he was born infertile, but he married the youngest daughter of Lord Dazai's favorite in the dynasty, saying that he did not like Zhuang Minglu, it is true that he has never had a half-job, but the financial rewards he received are always the most among all the princes, and he has already done what all the princes who are quite happy want to do.
In short, such a seemingly indisputable second prince suddenly appeared in Blackwater City, a turbulent place, which really made Qi Tian feel puzzled for a while.
However, this emotion did not bother him for too long, because frankly speaking, Qi Tian did not think that he would stay in the East China Sea Alliance for too long, and when the East China Sea expedition was over, he should go to the Southern Regions to find a way to break the ghost face spell on the back of his hand and find the whereabouts of the old man.
When the two of them walked to the gate of the Qi Master Association, they happened to meet Chen Yi, who was about to go out.
The three of them greeted each other casually, and without waiting for Qi Tian to speak, Chen Yi saw the injury on Erhu's shoulder at a glance, took out a black lacquer pill from his waist and gave it to Erhu, and instructed him to take half of it internally and half of it with water to dissolve and scrub the wound, and then hurriedly dodged away, as if there was something important.
Seeing this, Qi Tian subconsciously wanted to follow, in case Chen Yi needed something, but was stopped by a voice.
"Xiaotian, you don't have to go, Brother Xiaoyi, he is the Lu Shen Master who went to the City Lord's Mansion to see Thundering Mountain, why are you going to join in the fun?"
I saw Fang Wuwu coming down from the second floor of the tower, blocking the actions and thoughts of the two of them who wanted to keep up, "Why did you two guys come back now? I left you some food upstairs, hurry up and eat and go to sleep, you have to go to Luofu for a banquet early tomorrow morning, don't delay." โ
"Luofu, which Luofu?" Qi Tian raised his eyebrows and said puzzledly: "Now there are still big families in Blackwater City who dare to invite me to dinner?" I'm afraid it's not a problem with my brain!"
The reason why he said this is not that Qi Tian really thinks that people have problems, but that he is afraid of causing trouble to others, since the incident in the Zhou Mansion, it can be said that the large and small forces in Blackwater City are afraid to avoid Qi Tian and Chen Yi, the two of them offended Ye Ming Shao City Lord and Han Fu, and even made the sixteenth prince Zhuang Huiyao lose face, if this person gets close to them, he will not be able to wear small shoes in the future, so no one wants to get closer to the two of them, and some families who have already handed over the post are eager to slap their mouthsใ
Qi Tian and Chen Yi naturally understood what these people were thinking, so the two of them used the excuse of impartiality to enforce the law and asked Gao Sheng to return the posts one by one, which resolved the worries of those people.
Gao Sheng also gained some favors and connections because of this, and after coming back, he became much closer to Qi Tian and them, and often led Fang Wuwu and Youqingzhi to buy and buy in Blackwater City, so that he had a wave of goodwill in front of the two women, so that the two of them said a lot of good things for them, so Yao Chenxi also knew it, and silently promoted him to a level to make his treatment much better.
Fang Wuwu grinned, threw a gilded red post with a wave of his right hand, and said, "Can it still be the Luo family? Isn't it Luo Qing and Luo Shu's brothers and sisters! They invited you to participate in the martial arts conference." โ
Qi Tian didn't open the post, frowned and said, "What kind of martial arts conference? If you go, you will have to fight and cause trouble for your senior brother, don't go!"
"That's not good, it's not just the Luo family who invited you to go. Fang Wuwu pinched his nose and walked over and said, "A smell of roast chicken, have you drilled the roast chicken shop for a day...... Do you still remember that Xiang of the Quest Academy, he came to look for you this afternoon, but you weren't there, so he asked me to tell you to meet the Luo family tomorrow, and he mysteriously said that he wanted you to get the reward with him, what kind of reward is it?"
"He's here too?" Qi Tian sighed twice, and told him about the encounter with Luo Qing at the bottom of the Yanhe River and saving his cousin.
After Fang Wuwu and Erhu heard this, they both strongly persuaded Qi Tian to go, and told him to ask for whatever was good, the Luo family's forging skills were quite good.
Under careful questioning, Qi Tian knew that the Luo family was originally a member of the old nobles of the East China Sea Alliance, although it was not as powerful as the six major families, but it was also an extremely powerful existence, but later several of their ancestors were unfortunately killed when they went to explore the open sea together, resulting in only one clan elder from the god and man realm left, and as a result, it attracted the siege of the enemy family and fell off the altar and became a small nobleman in Blackwater City.
And the reason why the Luo family was able to be preserved after being sought revenge by the enemy was because their family's inherited spirit forging skills were unique in the East China Sea, so they were protected by the royal family and let one of them thrive in Heishui.
Of course, the reason why the other party agreed was also because the Luo family's family qi refining technique had already been seized by them in the battle, and without the support of the high-level qi refining technique, the Luo family would not turn over.
"I see, no wonder Luo Shu was so confident when she talked about her qi refining talent before. Qi Tian raised his eyebrows and smiled, nodded and agreed to participate in that martial arts conference tomorrow.
There was nothing to say all night, and it was not until the next morning that Qi Tianfang got up to wash up and slowly and leisurely walked towards the direction of the north city where Luofu was located.
Maybe it's the morning, or maybe it's the recent inspection that has become more and more strict, there are not many people in the north market, and the shops I saw before are all listless, sitting at the door with a pair of shouts and cheers, and the pedestrians who come and go are also in a hurry, which really seems a bit depressed and excessive.
"No, I just said that Xuanjingju was related to the Sea Clan......" Qi Tian couldn't help muttering a little in his heart, thinking that all this was related to what he said in the Zhou Mansion.
After sighing for a while, Qi Tian didn't really feel guilty or anything, but felt that the atmosphere in Blackwater City was becoming more and more worrying.
Although he didn't look at the women's robe he stole yesterday, he sensed an extremely faint qi energy seal from it, and the reason why he was able to steal it was also the day before when Brother Erhu was investigating the dart bureau that caused a commotion, and Master Wu of Nahu Mansion left about because of this, so that he could succeed smoothly, otherwise I believe that Brother Erhu was not the only one who was injured yesterday.
And to be able to attract the second prince to be so willing to expose his identity and destination is probably enough to affect the battle for the throne, from this point of view, the enemies that the forces have to face are probably not only the Sea Clan, and the Qi Master Association sandwiched in the middle is still a question mark.
It seems that Senior Brother Yao is going out these days to seek help from Thundering Mountain...... After guessing in his heart for a while, he shook his head, Qi Tian was not doing it, he wanted to continue walking towards Luofu according to the route in the post.
After walking for a while, according to the map, the deacon only needs to walk for half an hour and turn a street corner to Luofu, and he sped up his pace at the moment, he hasn't eaten breakfast yet, and he wants to go over and have a meal!
Suddenly, he heard a miserable cry in his ears, and under curiosity, he followed the sound, only to see an acquaintance jump into Qi Tian's eyes, only to see that the person's face was red and thrown out of a shop with a Mingwu Pavilion signboard, and he was still holding a big package in his arms, which was the young Tong Zhao he met in Beishi before.
I saw an old man wearing a high hat angrily scolding at Tong Zhao: "Stinky beggar who doesn't open his eyes! Don't look at where this is? You actually dare to sell Xibei goods here with me! Are you impatient to live? A thing that is only a hundred years old can dare to be said to be ancient Qiwu, which is extremely ridiculous!"
"Bah! Obviously you don't know the goods, and you still want to use the low price to set the treasure in my hand, but you are embarrassed to bite back, if you don't want to accept it, why insult me!" Tong Zhao was obviously beaten in the store, but he still held the package in his arms and struggled to shout.
As soon as his voice fell, the old man's face became even more fierce, and he gave the middle-aged man a look, and suddenly Tong Zhao's miserable cry rang out again.
The middle-aged man is a Qi Spirit Extreme Realm cultivator, both in shape and cultivation are far higher than Tong Zhao, and he has to protect the package in his arms, so even if Tong Zhao tries his best to resist, it has no effect, but it stimulates the ferocity of the middle-aged man, but he was beaten and bleeding from his mouth and nose in just this short time.
However, even so, Tong Zhao gritted his teeth and said: "You just beat Lao Tzu to death, I ...... I don't admit that this is Xibei goods! It's clear that you can't do it, but you come to slander me......"
"Give me a hard beating, until he changes his words, otherwise others will think that I Xu Yu is easy to bully!"
Qi Tian frowned, this meeting was a bit familiar, he and Luo Qing knew each other before because of their dispute with Bai Hua'er.
However, in comparison, Luo Qing and Luo Shu are much better than this old man named Xu Yu......
"Bold, who committed murder in Blackwater City!" Qi Tian didn't have the habit of seeing the weak being bullied, let alone seeing his acquaintances being bullied, so he jumped into the middle of the door at the moment, kicked the middle-aged man out, and asked the old man with a cold face.
"! Who the...... Abundant...... Inspector Qi...... My lord!" the man opened his mouth to scold, but when he saw the person clearly, his body shook and his whole face collapsed.
