Chapter 424: Tavern Talk
Fifty miles to the northwest, there is a scenic valley. The valley is full of birds and animals, birds and flowers are endless, shrubs and flowers are thriving, and it is a vibrant scene. There is a house in the very center of the valley. The style is simple, the building is angular and angular, such as pavilions and pavilions, it is very elegant, but there is no one.
"Whoosh!"
A soft sound echoed. A light flew from the south, stopped over the valley, and turned into a person, it was Yang Qiu. He looked down and saw that the house was exactly as described by the three men in the tavern, and flew down excitedly and excitedly, and said, "Now I can take revenge." A thick murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
When he got to the ground, he restrained his breath and cautiously touched into the house, but saw that there was no one inside, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and said strangely: "What's the matter? Nobody? Nobody? Wouldn't I?
In the next two minutes, Yang Qiu repeatedly broke into the room again and again, found that there was no, and then broke into the next room, as if there was a regular machine, tirelessly repeating and repeating. And so on and so forth, more than ten times in a row.
Just after repeating it for the twenty-first time, Yang Qiu finally stopped and said angrily, "Damn! I really moved away!" flew out of the mansion and turned into a ray of light and flew into the distance.
Two minutes later, he came to the sky above a small town and said thoughtfully: "This is the closest town to the house, I should know something about the Li family's move." He nodded heavily. With a hint of anticipation, it fell downward.
When he reached the entrance of the town, he saw a tavern that was doing brisk business. walked in, found a random place to sit down, ordered a few side dishes, and when the shopkeeper brought the dishes with a smile on his face, he suddenly stood up, reached out and grabbed the shopkeeper's neck, and asked, "Do you know who is the most well-informed in the town?"
The shopkeeper saw that Yang Qiu's eyes actually showed a fierce light. His face turned pale with fright, and he was stunned.
Yang Qiu dragged him and said, "Answer my question well and let you go." I don't want to hurt you. "But that being said. The right hand that grabbed the collar tightened.
The shopkeeper only felt that he couldn't breathe, and saw Yang Qiu raising his eyebrows, although he was handsome, but the murderous aura between his eyebrows was compelling. Scared heartbeat. Nodding again and again, he said, "I know." Know. He pointed to himself.
Yang Qiu was stunned, but then he was overjoyed and asked, "Do you know the mansion ten miles to the south?"
"The one in the valley?" asked the shopkeeper rhetorically.
Yang Qiu nodded.
The shopkeeper replied resignedly: "Guest." It was the old residence of the Li family. They moved out years ago. Are you looking for their new address?"
Yang Qiu nodded again and said with a smile: "You are very smart. Tell me. Where do they live now?"
The shopkeeper's face showed a look of reminiscence. He thought for a moment and gave an address.
Yang Qiu's face sank, glared at him, and said, "This address can't be fake, right?"
The shopkeeper turned pale with fright. He shook his hand and shook his head again, and said, "No." I can pledge with my life. This is absolutely true. I have a friend who works as a housekeeper in the Li family. He sends me a letter every year, and if you don't believe me, I'll go get it. ”
Yang Qiu looked at the shopkeeper carefully, and saw that he looked frightened, but his eyes were very sincere, not as if he was lying, but he didn't dare to run away, even if he really ran away, it would be easy for him to come back, nodded, and finally let go of him, and waved his hand.
The shopkeeper bowed his head gratefully, turned around and ran into the back of the counter, and after a while, he came out with a box the size of a basin, put things on Yang Qiu's table, and turned out a yellowed letter and handed it to Yang Qiu.
Yang Qiu took a few envelopes at random and looked at them, and saw that the sender's address on them was exactly the same as what the other party said, and finally nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good." Thank you very much. Help me get another twenty-year-old daughter red, and I'll pay double the price. ”
The shopkeeper turned to laughter and happily carried the wooden box back to the back room.
Half an hour later, Yang Qiu was full of wine and food, burped, stood up contentedly, and walked to the outside of the tavern. But just as he reached the door, he stopped. It turned out that the voices of conversations related to the Zhao family sounded in the southeast corner of the tavern, which attracted his attention.
"Alas. I really didn't expect it. A man with a long beard on his face let out a sigh and said.
"yes. It is too surprising that such a thing happened to the Zhao family. A woman with a ponytail nodded in agreement.
As soon as she said this, sitting opposite, a man wearing a felt hat and not knowing the truth, asked, "What are you two talking about? Why can't I understand? Isn't the Zhao family one of the ten major families? What will happen to make you care so much?"
Yang Qiu heard that the two had something to say, and thought, "The Zhao family is Zhao Xuefei's home. And Zhao Xuefei died for herself, if something happened to Zhao Jiazhen, she had to help no matter what. He turned around and walked back to the seat just now, raised his hand, and whispered: "Xiao Er, give me another half catty of beef and a jar of wine." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned, but then nodded happily and ran into the kitchen. Just as he ran into the kitchen, the conversation in the corner of the tavern rang out again.
Yang Qiu pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
The bearded man nodded and said, "I forgot." You don't know about it yet. Let me tell you, something happened to the Zhao family. ”
"What's the matter?" asked the man in the felt hat, for some unknown reason.
Seeing his disbelief, the bearded man lowered his voice and said, "The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Xuesong is dead." ”
"What!?" The man in the felt hat changed his face and said in surprise: "No, right? Zhao Xuesong's cultivation is very high! How could he ...... How could he be dead?"
The woman with the ponytail said, "At first I didn't believe it was true. But now I have confirmed it through secret information. Zhao Xuesong is dead. But not by whom. He committed suicide. ”
"Suicide!?" said the man in the felt hat with even more surprise on his face. He asked incredulously, "Why, having reached such a high level of cultivation, as the head of the Zhao family, he has been in the empire for so long. I've never seen any wind and waves. How could you kill yourself? You can't be wrong with your news, right?"
Yang Qiu nodded approvingly. In his heart, he said with certainty: "It must be wrong." ”
The woman with the ponytail replied, "That's why you don't know what's going on." Because Zhao Xuesong was deceived, the money for the family property was gone, and he was still in debt. He felt that he had become a sinner of the Zhao family, and he couldn't face his ancestors and ancestors so he chose to commit suicide. ”
The man in the felt hat was taken aback and asked, "Is it really fake? Zhao Xuesong has been running the family business in the empire for so long, and he will still be deceived? How can a head of a family like him, who has been a family for hundreds of years, be deceived so easily? Who has such a great ability to cheat away all the money of an entire family?"
The bearded man lowered his voice and said, "Li Shuangbai, the head of the Li family." ”
As soon as these words came out, the face of the man in the felt hat changed again. He nodded abruptly and said, "I see! I know why. Li Shuangbai, the head of the Li family, and Zhao Xuesong have always been very good friends. And Zhao Xuesong is a person who values love and righteousness, and he values friendship very much. Although this is his merit. But if it is used by others, it is also a disadvantage.
It must be that Li Shuangbai, the head of the Li family, deliberately set up a trap for Zhao Xuesong to jump in, so that Zhao Xuesong would trust Li Shuangbai to hand over all the property of the Zhao family to him, right?"
The bearded man gave a thumbs up in appreciation and said, "Boy." You're smart enough. That's just the way it is. Zhao Xuesong is worried about expanding the Zhao family's industry. I want to invest in industries other than medicine. I discussed with Li Shuangbai. Li Shuangbai found an excuse to cheat Zhao Xuesong's money. ”
Yang Qiu slapped the table angrily, walked out without looking back, clenched his right fist, and said unswervingly in his heart: "Xue Fei, I couldn't do anything for you when you were alive." But now I have to do something for you.
You lost your cultivation to save me, and it was precisely because you lost your cultivation that you were easily killed by Yu Wenfan. I have avenged you. But to survive, it still depends on the cheats you sent. I didn't hear about your father's murder. Now that I've heard it, I'm not going to ignore it.
Don't worry, I'll go to Li's house now to get Li Shuangbai and Li Fengbai's heads and avenge your father. ”
But just as he reached the door, he stopped again. It turned out that the three of them had transferred the content of the conversation from the Zhao family to the Li family, which once again attracted Yang Qiu's attention.
The woman with the ponytail said: "But even if this is not the case, in fact, Li Shuangbai has other ways to kill Zhao Xuesong easily, even if it is the most rude and simple move." ”
The man in the felt hat was startled again and asked, "Won't it?" Sister, as far as I know, Zhao Xuesong's cultivation is quite high, and he has been in the early stage of the out-of-body period for many years. Isn't Li Shuangbai also in this realm? In that case, then how could he, Li Shuangbai, easily kill Zhao Xuesong?"
"That's right. The bearded man nodded in agreement and agreed: "Second sister." These words are not to be said. ”
The woman with a ponytail shook her head lightly and said, "You guys are underestimating Li Shuangbai too much. Li Shuangbai's cultivation was at the beginning of the out-of-body period, and this news was outdated. The latest news I got from my friend is that Li Shuangbai's cultivation has broken through the bottleneck and he has been a monk in the middle of the out-of-body period for half a year.
In other words, one of the most important reasons why Li Shuangbai dared to deceive Zhao Xuesong was that his cultivation had broken through. Otherwise, Li Shuangbai would never, absolutely never do this. If the two sides are equal in strength, they will risk destroying the relationship between the two families, and then the two families will lose and lose, and the gains will outweigh the losses. ”
The bearded man nodded suddenly and said, "So, in the case that your cultivation is higher than the other party, you don't have to think about the consequences of doing this." Because, the gap in strength makes it impossible for the Zhao family to fight the Li family. If Zhao Xuesong knew that he had been deceived and asked him Li Shuangbai to settle accounts, Li Shuangbai would be able to easily suppress the other party by force. ”
The man in the felt hat said in agreement: "Zhao Xuesong understands Li Shuangbai's stronger strength through the battle, and he will not dare to settle accounts with the Li family in the future." I see. I totally get it. It's no wonder that Li Shuangbai wanted to make a move on Zhao Xuesong. It is estimated that Li Shuangbai has been preparing this plan for a long time. ”
The other two nodded in unison.
Yang Qiu was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed in his heart in disbelief: "What!?Cultivation in the middle of the out-of-body period? The newborn Li Shuangbai here has such a strong cultivation? I can only barely improve my cultivation by half a realm if I use my full strength to use the Yin Qing Sword Technique, and temporarily have the strength of the early stage of the out-of-body period." But only when performing the Yin Qing Sword Technique.
Drawing the sword is the only trick that can improve my strength by one level, and it can make me barely fight a monk in the middle of the out-of-body stage. But it was only at the moment when he performed the sword drawing technique, and Li Shuangbai's current strength had steadily reached the middle stage of the true out-of-body stage cultivation, if he dodged the attack of the sword drawing technique, I would have no other way to take revenge. ”
The more he thought about it, the less confident he became, and the more he lacked self-confidence, the more depressed he became, and in the end, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and said in despair: "Damn! Li Shuangbai's strength is so strong, how can I take revenge?"
After thinking about it for another half a minute, Yang Qiu finally let go of his right hand weakly, feeling a huge sense of powerlessness spread all over his body, and couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart: "It's so ironic." I was planning to avenge Shephery's father, but now I didn't dare to go, is this still me......?
Yang Qiu held a trace of expectation in his heart, and said, "Wait! These days, my energy has been spent on healing and waiting for Wu Chenjun to return, but I have never carefully checked whether there is anything in Yu Wenfan's clothes. Yu Wenfan's strength is so strong, if I have some elixir on my body, if I eat it, won't my cultivation be able to improve?
With my current means. As long as you raise half a realm and reach the early stage of the real out-of-body period, it is not impossible to kill Li Shuangbai. Finally grinning, showing a hint of expectation, reached into the inside of his clothes and pants, and found a secret book from his bosom.
Yang Qiu looked at the cover intently, and saw that the three big characters "Meteor Sword" were written in italics. He opened it and looked at it carefully, and saw that it was all obscure ancient texts, and silently summoned the curse key and inserted it into the first page of the book.
"Click!"
I saw that the key turned slightly, and there was an extra line of straightforward and simple explanations under the difficult words on all the cheats. He finally showed a real smile and whispered, "The sword spectrum of the Meteor Sword." If I practice the Meteor Sword, my cultivation will definitely be able to rise even further. Excitedly, he put away the cheats, strode away, and when he was ten miles away, he rose into the air and flew farther away into a ray of light. (To be continued......)
