Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Femme Fatale

That night, Song Taiping and his entourage, by Xiang Shaowu arranged a simple trigger formation, everyone settled in the sleep to absorb the moonlight, Song Taiping conducted a simple test, found that this trigger formation is used for vigilance, it is really negligent but not leaky, it filters out various natural phenomena by itself, and can also detect various forms of stealth invasion, this formation has basic defense capabilities, simple layout, very little material and energy consumed, and the entire formation design is extremely exquisite. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Song Taiping knew that it was very rude to ask others about the inheritance, so he pressed the curiosity in his heart, and arranged for Xiang Shaowu to quietly go out of the Shaanxi and Gansu Palace, and go to the alleys and fields and villages to understand the people's feelings, especially the people's views on the three Song brothers, in this family crisis, the direct use of force to confront is the most costly, the most hidden dangers, a little carelessness will be the end of the catastrophe, the heart is more effective than the use of force, control the hearts of the people and the army, so that millions of people and 100,000 soldiers are wanted, the imperial court, the major super forces, When moving the Song family, you have to consider the consequences, as long as the uncle, father and third uncle are cautious and don't fall into the trap set by meditation and fall into the mouth, they can completely protect themselves on the bright side, but they still can't stop the assassination, after all, mortal-level cultivators are only stronger than mortals, and they can still be killed by mortals.

Ai Senwen Hao and Tuobu Ai Qing were not so relaxed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, there was a slight disturbance outside, so they grabbed the weapon at the head of the bed, got up to check it, and dared to go back to bed and continue to sleep, and personally inspected the bright whistles, dark whistles, and mobile whistles three or four times in the middle of the night, not because of how conscientious they were, but because the art of possession of the mortal star doom in the world is the first vicious secret technique, except for the unbelievable method of cracking to Shaowu, in the past thousand years, the mortal-level cultivators have not come up with a way to crack it, I didn't even know how to be possessed by Ruyun, only when the spell was cast and there was an abnormality on the mortal-level cultivator's body, it caused panic among the casters, and the psychological defense line completely collapsed in the panic, and more mortal-level cultivators died of their own fear than those who really died in calamity, which made Ai Sen Wenhao and Tuob Ai Qing panic all day after seeing the information of the Joy Sect transmitted by the Red Mansion Gate.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone set off, for the safety of Song Taiping, everyone let Song Taiping sit in the carriage, and he was not allowed to ride Kunxianghu to avoid becoming a target for a rifle.

Xiang Shaowu quietly slipped into Song Taiping's carriage from the woods next to the official road, and introduced the situation of last night's investigation through the streets and alleys: The people near Wenchang City in Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture had a better impression of Song Zhen's local servants, and in last year's disaster relief, Song Zhendi cracked down on profiteers and grain in Shaanxi and Gansu Mansions, and the landlords and squires spared no effort and did not show mercy in robbing tenants and peasants in less land, killing dozens of profiteers and squires who committed heinous crimes, and confiscating a batch of grain and distributing it to the people in various cities and towns, so that the people of Shaanxi and Gansu Province could survive the first two months after the disaster. The peasants of Shaanxi and Gansu Province are grateful to Song Zhendi, and even set up an immortal tablet for Song Zhendi at home, and for the merchants and landlords and squires, they hate the third uncle Song Zhendi, and the father Song Zhenhai and the eldest uncle Song Zhenkong are only known to a few people in Shaanxi and Gansu Mansion.

Song Taiping was a little melancholy, such a result was in his own expectations, the uncle was already in high danger, becoming the softest persimmon, the prince of the prison country Tuobu Yuanqi and the king of Jing'an Tuob Yuansheng may be the first to do it to the uncle, these princes are scum in commanding the battle, but in the palace infighting, they can easily kill the pillars of the country, so that a famous court minister and a famous general died tragically under the knife of his own people!

Song Taiping made handicrafts with shells and conchs, and looked at the mountains along the way through the open curtains, and suddenly noticed that there was a light reflected by the lens on the mountain in the distance, which seemed to be a monocular from the Southern Continent and the Northern Continent.

Song Taiping put away his thoughts, turned his head to Tuobu Aiqing on the side and said, "Tuobu Aiqing Hall Master, the kid found that Mo Hankang was coming, just on the hill over there, he had a rifle in his hand, and five attendants with muskets. ”

Tuobu Aiqing suddenly sobered up a little, and hurriedly checked the location that Song Taiping said, and sure enough, he found that there were five figures on the hill over there, but he couldn't see who it was. He shouted softly: "Aisen Wenhao Shilang, you mobilize the soldiers of Jiangnan Mansion in front of you to search the surrounding mountains and forests, cut off the idea of this Waiyi bastard, and ask the people of the other six major sects to ambush all the Waiyi people along the coast of Beihai Mansion and Qin'an Mansion, you and I jointly ask the prince of the prison country to send a reward to hunt down and kill the members of the Huanxi Sect in the territory of the Dayan Empire, and I would rather kill 10,000 by mistake than let go of a bastard of the Huanxi Sect, especially this Mo Hankang!" At that time, Aisen Wenhao's elder brother listened to the words of Song Taiping's son and directly killed Mo Hankang, why not. ”

Ai Senwenhao sighed, ordered the accompanying staff to prepare official documents, stamped their own big seals, and quickly sent troops to Qiao Yifu, the governor of Jiangnan Prefecture, to guard them, and handed over the documents submitted to the prince of the prison country to Tuobu Ai Qing to stamp the big seal, and several people from the blood wolf hunting team personally escorted the documents to Kaiping City to hand over to the prince of the prison country.

The disciples equipped with rifles in the Dayan Battle Hall were loaded with bullets and were ready to fight, and the other guards also drew their blades, and in front of the horse team, there were trappers with spears poking the ground of the official road to guard against traps.

It didn't take long, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling in front came, Qiao Yifu Governor personally led the Jiangnan Mansion sergeants to come, the infantry quickly blocked the woods and hills on both sides, the cavalry a hundred-man team opened the way in front, and two hundred-man teams escorted Song Taiping on both sides of his party, Qiao Yifu rode a horse and talked on the side of Aisen Wenhao, his daughter Qiao Tian, the third beauty of the Dayan Empire dismounted and entered the carriage where Song Taiping was located.

Qiao Tian smiled at Song Taiping, and said familiarly: "Song Taiping little son, I am Qiao Tian, the governor of Jiangnan Mansion Qiao Yifu is the father, on the order of the father, the little woman will accompany the little boy to visit the mountains and rivers of Jiangnan Mansion, I hope we can become good friends, Song Gongzi's hand is so skillful, give me one." ”

Qiao Tian stretched out his slender jade hand and picked up a conch horn made by Song Taiping, put it to his mouth and blew it, the melodious and rich horn sounded, Qiao Tian ignored the fire-breathing gaze shot by Shangguan Yi, and directly hung the conch number on his chest, sat down next to Song Taiping, and introduced the places of interest and historic sites in Jiangnan Mansion.

Song Taiping's eyes lit up, he noticed that when Qiao Tian was taking the Conch, the tattoo on his arm was very familiar, thinking about it, there was a similar tattoo pattern on the arm of the deacon of the Huanxi Sect that he killed, the cultivator had the ability to predict danger, and when Qiao Tian came in, Song Taiping sensed a trace of murderous aura.

Xiang Shaowu, who was sleeping soundly in the carriage, was also suddenly shocked by this subtle murderous aura, seeing Qiao Tian and Shangguan Yi competing like a fairy, knowing that that trace of murderous aura was definitely not caused by the meeting of two beauties, it was more likely to be aimed at Song Taiping, seeing a small tattoo on Qiao Tian's right arm, he judged that Qiao Tian was the enemy, and when he saw Song Taiping's inquiring gaze, he nodded directly and quietly, because of the identity of this Qiao Tian, he couldn't kill him directly, he could only eradicate it secretly, and he dared to be unfavorable to Song Taiping. Even if he is the prince of the prison country, Xiang Shaowu will kill him correctly.

Entering the territory of Jiangnan Mansion, Song Taiping found that the mountains of Jiangnan Mansion went straight up and down, like an Optimus Prime, Jiangnan Mansion has a lot of water, nearly half of the houses are built on the water, there are houses on the trees of Jiangnan Mansion on the thick banyan tree, Jiangnan Mansion is rich in freshwater fish, crab roe, river mussels, lotus seeds, water chestnuts and other rich aquatic products, plus large and small salt drying fields, Jiangnan Mansion is still very rich, corrupt officials and profiteers collude, in some towns and towns people are not happy, often rise up, become water thieves, Most of the water thieves entrenched in Jiangnan Mansion have a history of 100 years, the scale is more than 100 people, the government has been difficult to encircle and suppress, and has a bad reputation in the green forest, the Xiangmamen of the Pinjintang only recruits a few water thieves with a good reputation, and the water ghost team that burned the Waiyi fleet in the border five mansions is from here, because most of the loyal and righteous people died in that battle, the old, weak, sick and disabled who stayed in the water village are difficult to resist the attack of the government and other water thief forces and withdraw from Jiangnan Mansion.

Qiao Tian took Song Taiping and his entourage, took a bamboo raft on the turbulent water surface of the Lishui River, felt the fun of dancing with the fish, climbed the rope to the 500-meter-high mountaintop village to enjoy the majesty of the mountains at a glance, and soaked in the hot springs around the extinct volcano to enjoy the coolness of the hot summer.

Song Taiping noticed that Qiao Tian was intentionally or unintentionally trying to collect his own hair or blood, but it was a pity that the sharp rock wall could not cut Song Taiping's skin at all, and Song Taiping's hair had not fallen off, when there were no outsiders around, Xiang Shaowu quietly suggested to Song Taiping: "Master, with your true cultivation, it is enough to destroy Mo Hankang with the help of the counterattack of the doom possession technique, since this bastard is looking for death here, why don't we fulfill him?" It's dangerous to keep such a poisonous snake staring. ”

Song Taiping thought about it for a while, and used the white scimitar behind his back to cut off two hairs with great difficulty, deliberately put them on his shoulders, Qiao Tian smiled like a flower and laughed with Song Taiping, and took the two hairs into the cuffs without leaving a trace with his small hands, and then left under the pretext, Song Taiping winked at Xiang Shaowu, nodded to Shaowu knowingly, and quietly followed Qiao Tian out.

Shangguan Yi saw the strangeness in it, and was just about to ask, Song Taiping raised his index finger on his mouth, and glanced at the surrounding people with his eyes, Shangguan Yi understood that Song Taiping was signaling that she had many eyes and ears here, and it was not appropriate to say more.

After a short time, Xiang Shaowu came back and whispered in Song Taiping's ear: "Master, then Qiao Tian handed over your hair to Qiao Yifu, this Qiao Yifu may have secretly joined the Huanxi Sect, our Eastern Continent may already have a branch of the Huanxi Sect, no wonder Mo Hankang, this bastard can walk freely in the Eastern Continent, it turns out that there are internal thieves." ”

Song Taiping remembered a secret story about Qiao Yifu, this Qiao Yifu Governor is said to have more than a thousand concubines, and the women who serve him every day are not the same, and he has seen Qiao Yifu a few times, and found that he is actually a mortal-level cultivator, and there is no sign of being hollowed out by women, plus today's events, it can be concluded that Qiao Yifu must be the secret elder or deacon of the Huanxi Sect, and with him as a clue, he can dig out the members of the Huanxi Sect in the Eastern Continent little by little, and carry out a net to completely cut off the root system of the Huanxi Sect in the Eastern Continent.

At night, Song Taiping sensed that the power of fate was acting on him, and after only a moment, it dissipated, and he knew that someone had cast a doom possession technique on him, and he was killed by the counterattack, so he got up from meditation and said softly: "The fish has taken the bait." ”

Xiang Shaowu followed and got up, there was a riot in the barracks outside, listening to the noisy sound, it seemed that the Jiangnan Mansion Governor had gone crazy and died violently, Song Taiping was shocked, not because Qiao Yifu was killed violently, but because Qiao Yifu died like this, he cut off the clue to the power of the Huanxi Sect in the Eastern Continent, and such an evil sect would continue to poison the Eastern Continent.

When the chaos in the barracks subsided, leaving only Qiao Yifu's charred corpse, Qiao Tian and the Qiao family's soldiers and generals mysteriously disappeared, Song Taiping told Ai Sen Wenhao and Tuobu Ai Qing his guess about Qiao Yifu's other identity, which shocked the two of them, and hurriedly checked if there was anything wrong with their bodies, and after some tossing, they didn't find anything abnormal.

Aisen Wenhao and Tuobu Ai Qing didn't dare to stay in Jiangnan Mansion for one more day, so they immediately set off overnight, escorting Song Taiping to the nearby Jing'an Mansion, on a small hill, Qiao Tian stroked the conch with his hand, and watched Song Taiping's team advance on the official road with a gloomy expression, Qiao Yifu stood on the side, patted Qiao Tian's shoulder, and comforted: "Good daughter, do you like Song Taiping, this stinky boy?" It won't take too long, I will knock him down to the clouds and let him serve us obediently, Prime Minister Song Zhenkong was assassinated and killed, Song Zhendi, the head of the household department, and Shenjimen treasoned and fled to the Boer Empire, that idiot Tuob Yuanqi has already sent someone to escort Song Zhenhai, the general of Pingxi, back to Kaiping City to ask for the guilt, the catastrophe of the Song family is coming, and even Shenjimen can't save it! At this time, we saved this stinky boy, and he is still not grateful to Dade? Mo Hankang, that old fox, can't stay in the Eastern Continent anymore, and the Joy Sect forces in the Eastern Continent will become the bag of our father and daughter, hahaha! ”

A deacon of Zhitian Pavilion caught up with Song Taiping and his party, and handed Song Taiping a secret letter, Song Taiping saw that the letter read: Song Taiping Xiaoyou, Uncle Ling was treated by the emperor this morning, encountered a rifle blockade, and was shot in more than 20 guns, killed on the spot, the head of the Shenji Gate Song Fade led the elite to escort Song Zhendi to break through, and encountered the encirclement and suppression of rifles and grenadiers of the Shaanxi and Gansu Palace, Zhuyuan Gate, Hades Palace, and Dayan Battle Hall. With the assistance of the Cartel envoys, they went all the way west to prepare to go to sea and take refuge in the Boer Empire.

Song Taiping shed two lines of tears and said: "Please also ask the seniors to inform Grandpa Xu that Qiao Yifu is an important figure in the Huanxi Sect, please use the power of Zhitian Pavilion to track down Qiao Tianxia's whereabouts, and be sure to eradicate the branch of the Huanxi Sect in the Eastern Continent, so as to avoid the martial arts people and mortal-level cultivators in the Eastern Continent from encountering a catastrophe!" ”

The deacon of Zhitian Pavilion nodded, Song Taiping used the fire aura to burn the secret letter into ashes, opened the door of the carriage, stood tall and faced the Dayan Zhantang riflemen who pointed their rifles at their group with their rifles, and said in a low voice: "Lord Aisen Wenhao and Tuob Aiqing Hall Master, I will go to Kaiping City with you, my uncle was assassinated, please cancel the trip and go directly to Kaiping City, I want to guard the spirit of my uncle!" This is the deacon of Zhitian Pavilion, and the two seniors have also heard what I just said, so please let him go back and report the news! ”

Ai Senwenhao sighed and said: "Song Taiping Xiaoyou, I have already hinted at General Song Zhenhai of Lingzun, but unfortunately he didn't listen to my advice, and asked Xiaoyou not to act rashly and act aggressively, I will try my best to protect your family, I have so much ability here, my ability is limited." ”

Tuobu Aiqing waved his hand to let the rifleman out of the way, let go of the deacon of Zhitian Pavilion, and said calmly: "Old man, in his lifetime, no matter what kind of trouble you Song Taiping causes, I will save your life and continue to set off!" ”

Song Taiping thanked the two of them, and returned to the carriage with a sad expression, Shangguan Yi rushed to make three sets of filial piety clothes overnight, and the three of Song Taiping's master and apprentice changed into filial piety clothes, tied a white belt on their heads, and wrapped hemp rope around their waists.

Tuobu Aiqing and Aisen Wenhao asked for a batch of horses in Jing'an Mansion, let the sergeants ride in pairs, and at the same time added horses to the carriage, and rushed to Kaiping City day and night. Long before they set off for the Chakama grassland, Tuob Yuanqi personally called the two to his prince's mansion, and secretly instructed him to control Song Taiping by any means, and not let him get out of control, otherwise once there is no Song Taiping to blackmail Song Zhenhai, I am afraid that Song Zhenhai will lead troops to rebel, if a thousand riflemen come over, no army of the Dayan Empire can resist, only by taking Song Zhenhai, can he take over his rifle team of 1,000 people in the Chakama grassland, and ensure that Tuob Yuanqi successfully kills the henchmen of the other two brothers, Ascend to the throne!

Tuobu Ai Qing and Ai Sen Wenhao received Song Taiping's heavy gifts, with short hands, plus the deeds of Song Taiping have also been witnessed, General Song Zhenhai's character did not say, on the road is already thinking about how to shelter Song Taiping, so that he can avoid the Song family's catastrophe, more than 300 years ago, the Zhang clan officials outside the sky to the Weihai general, commanding the South China Sea Naval Division and the North Sea Division, outstanding meritorious service, countless military achievements, not because of the emperor's suspicion, and beheaded people, General Song Zhenhai is likely to follow in his footsteps, unjustly died under the knife of his own people! In order to when the Song family really faced the disaster of annihilating the nine clans, there was a dispute over whose name Song Taiping would inherit to.
