Chapter 33: Rebellion
Lin Qing never expected that the carriage sent by Ning Canglan would actually take him back to Shuntian Tower.
After returning to Fengcheng, Lin Qing had been deliberately avoiding Shuntian Tower, not only because the mission was not completed, but also because he was ashamed to meet the Canglan Sect disciples, and partly because he did not meet with Ning Canglan.
But the surprise that Ning Canglan brought her today made her abandon many scruples, and as long as she thought of Hua Yingzhi's cheeky woman running to Ning Canglan's dormitory three times and twice, Lin Qing couldn't help but be angry in her heart, and she wanted to return to Ning Canglan's side even more urgently.
"Greetings to the Vice-Master." It was still Ouyang Feng who was guarding the door.
Lin Qing was a little puzzled, this Ouyang Feng was clearly divided into both civil and military skills, and his ability was extraordinary, why did he look like a janitor now?
Soon Lin Qing understood Ning Canglan's intention of arranging this.
Shuntianlou hangs the name of the restaurant, but there is actually a hole inside. Under the leadership of the attendants, Lin Qing came to the council hall of the Canglan Sect. To Lin Qing's surprise, many important figures from the Canglan Sect had gathered in the council hall at this moment.
Looking closely, in addition to Ning Canglan and the left and right envoys around him, the four hall masters and deputy hall masters of gold, water, fire, and earth in the sect were all upright and solemn, standing silently under Ning Canglan.
Lin Qing was frightened by the formation of the mountain rain and the wind full of buildings, and Ning Canglan, who was standing at the top, hurriedly bowed: "See the sect leader." ”
Ning Canglan looked cold, and said coldly: "Get up." ”
Lin Qing got up trembling at this time, she was already confused at this moment, it was obvious that Ning Canglan was still enjoying the scenery in Lanxi Flower Valley with her with a gentle smile not long ago, why did he become this kind of rejection in the blink of an eye? And there are so many people in the council hall, why don't you see the people from Muyantang?
The people in the hall said to Lin Qing unevenly: "Deputy Sect Master." ”
Lin Qing didn't care about the cold attitude of everyone, her position as the deputy sect leader was given by Ning Canglan casually, and she didn't have half of the real power, so it was understandable that others didn't respect her and respect her. Lin Qing stood silently in the crowd, staring straight at the gate with a pair of big eyes in the direction of Ning Canglan's gaze.
Will something big happen? Lin Qing was shocked in his heart.
"'Report! Sect Master, Qiao Xinzhi and the people of the imperial court have already come in! A man dressed as a gray-clad samurai suddenly rushed in and said loudly.
Qiao Xinzhi? Isn't this the name of the master of the Muyan Hall! Lin Qing thought about it for a while, and soon understood why there was such a formation today. It turned out that Qiao Xinzhi colluded with the imperial court to kill Shuntian Tower, and Ning Canglan gathered the sect leader's people obviously to invite the king into the urn, and then killed Qiao Xinzhi and the people of the imperial court by surprise!
Instead of panicking, Ning Canglan sat down and even drank tea calmly.
When everyone saw his movements, they immediately picked up light skills and went out. Only Lin Qing was stunned in place, not knowing what to do.
"Xiaoqing, come here." Ning Canglan chuckled and beckoned to Lin Qing.
Outside the house was a fight with swords hitting and screaming, but the person in front of him looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and Lin Qing's heart became more and more bottomless: "Engong, let's run away!" ”
Ning Canglan's smile did not decrease, but his voice was a lot colder: "Don't let me say it a second time!" ”
"Yes." Lin Qing slowly walked to Ning Canglan's side, his expression a little dazed.
'Bang'! The door to the council chamber was kicked open.
"Ning Canglan, don't come unharmed." The person who came was Qiao Xinzhi, who was smiling at the moment, and his smugness was not concealed.
For Qiao Xinzhi, Lin Qing has always had the idea of avoiding as far as he can. Without him, although this person is strong in martial arts, he is extremely lustful, and he is very ignorant of the importance of the maids in the sect on weekdays.
As far as Lin Qing knew, Ning Canglan had long had the intention of getting rid of Qiao Xinzhi, and he had not taken any action, and he probably didn't want to make too much movement to cause the court to be dissatisfied. Unexpectedly, this Qiao Xinzhi actually took the initiative to collude with the imperial court, betrayed the Canglan Sect, and even led people to kill Shuntian Tower! No wonder Engong ordered Ouyang Feng to guard the door of Shuntian Tower, presumably to let him see the opportunity to act......
"Qiao Xinzhi, you shameless scum!" After Lin Qing let out a loud shout, he pulled out the short knife tied to his calf and rushed forward to fight with Qiao Xinzhi.
Lin Qing is good at deception, although he has a small success in martial arts, he is far from Qiao Xinzhi's opponent, and after a few rounds, Lin Qing gradually fell behind.
At this time, several masked men with unknown swords rushed in from outside the door and went straight towards Ning Canglan.
Ning Canglan slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and his hand danced lightly like a flower, but in just a moment, the long sword in the hands of several masked people was broken.
Qiao Xinzhi didn't want to entangle with Lin Qing at this time, so he changed his palm to slash Lin Qing's neck, this palm attack was fierce and extremely heavy, even if Lin Qing raised his elbow to resist, he was still shocked to the ground by Qiao Xinzhi's palm, spitting blood.
At the same time, several masked people around Ning Canglan had been defeated by him.
Seeing this, Qiao Xinzhi's eyes showed a fierce light, and he immediately snorted coldly, and turned to attack Ning Canglan: "I didn't expect your skill to be so strong. ”
Lin Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up strongly. Engong's martial arts are not on the same level as himself at all, and it is naturally more than enough to deal with a Qiao Xinzhi. But why does she always have a bad premonition in her heart, and always feel that things are not as simple as she sees?
I looked around, but I didn't see anything wrong. Looking at Ning Canglan, who was fighting endlessly with Qiao Xinzhi in front of him, Lin Qing secretly wondered if he was thinking too much, so that he had so many scruples?
The Canglan Sect has not been established for a long time, and the former sect leader Ning Wuyan was originally the beggar leader of Fengcheng, and he was followed by many people in the rivers and lakes because of his strong martial arts and noble character, and he made the name of the Ning family in Fengcheng by robbing the rich and helping the poor. Then Ning Wuyan single-handedly founded the Canglan Sect, started a business of escorting darts and sending darts, and named his only son Canglan.
After Ning Wuyan's death, he passed the position of sect leader to his son Ning Canglan. At this point, the Canglan Sect has gradually changed its appearance, from a dart game to a place to take people's money. Lin Qing was often ordered to deceive people and steal things, also because an employer offered money to seek the Canglan Sect, and went to Muhe Town to steal the edict of the former emperor was also entrusted by someone, and that person's identity was very noble.
"Sect Master, it's not good! The right protector has seriously injured him, and now I'm afraid he won't survive! "The person who came was the left escort that Lin Qing had seen in the hall before.
Ning Canglan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, the right protector's martial arts are not weak, and it is difficult to meet opponents when walking in the rivers and lakes, how could he be seriously injured and die in such a short time? But this right envoy is also his own cronies, and there are still many things that need to be done by him, so it's a pity to die like this.
Thinking of this, Ning Canglan kept moving in his hand, but at the bottom of his foot, he found an opportunity to kick Qiao Xinzhi in front of the left protector: "Zuo protector, this traitor is handed over to you." ”
The left escort answered yes and fought with Qiao Xinzhi.
Lin Qing followed Ning Canglan and walked out, and along the way, he saw many Canglan Sect disciples who were injured and fell to the ground, but he didn't see the right escort.
"Engong ......" Lin Qing wanted to speak and stopped.
Ning Canglan turned his head and glanced at her: "Are you scared?" ”
I just wanted to express my worries, but I happened to see the right escort lying on the ground covered in blood.
Ning Canglan hurriedly stepped forward and sealed several acupuncture points on the right escort's body.
"How are you?" Lin Qing squatted down and probed the right escort's snort, and found that he still had some breath, but he was already out of breath and less in breath.
The right envoy opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word.
"Sect Master, what happened to the Right Protector?" The left escort who was originally fighting with Qiao Xinzhi didn't know when he followed, and asked hurriedly with a worried look on his face.
"He-" Before Ning Canglan's words fell, he saw Lin Qing, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly pounce on him.
After an inexplicable scream of surprise, Lin Qing fell down softly.
"Engong, be careful......" These were the last words in Lin Qing's mouth before he lost consciousness.
Ning Canglan caught Lin Qing's body, only to feel that his hands were wet and sticky, and when he looked down, he found that his hands were stained with blood, and this blood was flowing from Lin Qing's waist and abdomen. At this moment, a short knife was embedded deep in her waist, and bright red blood flowed down the wound to the ground, and the person holding the knife was the left escort who asked Shicai.
After walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, Ning Canglan's adaptability is not bad. He lifted his leg and leaped up with a backflip, swinging his hand like a sword towards the vital point of the left protector. At the same time, Qiao Xinzhi, who was immediately following the left escort, also attacked.
It was not difficult for Ning Canglan to block two with one, he had pretended to be in love before, and he had not distinguished himself from Qiao Xinzhi for a long time, just to take the opportunity to find out the rest of the traitors in the Canglan Sect. Now that the rat generation has appeared, he naturally doesn't have to tie his hands and feet anymore, and knocked the left escort and Qiao Xinzhi to the ground in three or two strokes.
Looking at Lin Qing lying on the ground with his eyes closed, a trace of pity flashed in Ning Canglan's eyes, but it was fleeting. She must have been afraid that she would be injured so she rushed forward to block the knife, she was really a stupid girl......
