Episode 113: Arrogant Thief
Riverside.
The tourists have been driven away, and the burned out boat has sunk to the bottom.
A patrol of warriors patrols the riverside.
Several people stood by the river and discussed in a low voice.
The martial artist is full of qi and blood, and it is difficult for mortals to see with the naked eye, and they can only feel the terrifying momentum of the other party.
And Luo Qingzhou's soul at this time was clear to see.
The qi and blood gathered together, like a burning sea of fire, staining the darkness of the riverside with a blood-red color.
Even from a distance, his spirit trembled.
No wonder the book says that when a few people are in a company, the little ghost avoids it; Wherever the army went, the ghosts and gods were shocked.
Thousands of troops and horses gathered together, the momentum is like a rainbow, even if the soul is strong as mentioned in the book, I am afraid that they will have to retreat.
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to approach, stopped at an eaves and waited patiently.
Half an hour later.
The figures standing on the riverbank and discussing dispersed one after another.
And the patrol warriors also surrounded one of them and retreated together.
Soon, silence returned to the riverside.
Luo Qingzhou waited for a while, and Fang floated there.
The riverside was empty.
It's just that in the air, there seems to be a residual smell of flames, warm and unpleasant.
Luo Qingzhou floated to the surface of the river.
After staring at the place of the wreck in mid-air for a while, he did not find the souls of the corpses.
Maybe it's been lost in the flames, or maybe it's already drifted away.
Never mind.
When he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of a sentence recorded in the book, a person who had just died, after the ghost came out of his body, he would subconsciously float towards the place where the yin qi was heaviest or the darkest place around, and then he would look at the place where he died, and he was reluctant to leave for a long time......
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved, and he immediately floated to a higher place, then lowered his head and looked down at the surroundings of the search river.
When the soul is in a state of being, it is most sensitive to places where yin qi is heavy.
There were a lot of people gathered on the riverside just now, the voices were noisy, and the qi and blood were vigorous, and after the yin spirits of those few corpses came out, they would definitely subconsciously avoid it and drift away from it, drifting to a nearby place where the silence and yin qi were strong.
Luo Qingzhou searched carefully in mid-air, and his eyes suddenly stopped under the arch bridge a hundred meters away on the left side of the river.
In his sight, under the dark hole of the arched bridge, wisps of black yin qi were obviously floating, gathering into a clump and slowly surging, like a living thing.
Under the arch bridge, there is no sun and moon all year round, damp and gloomy, and because there are drowning children and adults in this river almost every summer, there is a strong yin atmosphere, which is the most suitable for the yin spirits to take refuge temporarily.
Luo Qingzhou's figure moved and quickly floated over.
Before he could get closer, he felt a familiar breath rushing over him.
Under the arch bridge, the wind gusted and the black fog was filled.
Sure enough, it's so heavy!
Luo Qingzhou floated down directly and got in.
"Ahh
A scream, suddenly sounded in the darkness under the bridge.
As soon as Luo Qingzhou got under the bridge, he suddenly saw a black shadow floating in front of him and almost crashed into his arms.
If you look closely, it is vague, it is actually the soul of the maid hiding in the door with a dagger in hand, ready to sneak attack him.
At this time, the girl's soul had no memory of the previous at all, but his whole body flashed with milky white light and fluorescence, and he seemed to feel his powerful and terrifying aura, so he was caught off guard and screamed in fright.
Luo Qingzhou didn't hesitate, just like he had killed her in the room before, clenched his fists, and punched her suddenly.
"Poof!"
Her already vague body was shattered in an instant.
Immediately, the rout came, and the soul flew away!
Luo Qingzhou is now in a state of daily travel, his soul is strong, and he has cultivated the Benlei Fist, this punch is played, how can the yin soul who has just left the body withstand it?
As soon as the maid's ghost was killed, a scream suddenly rang out in the dark corner below.
Luo Qingzhou fixed his eyes and saw the figure curled up in the corner, trembling, it was actually the soul of the old woman who hurt Miss Qin Er!
When she was in the room, she was fierce and powerful, but now she is hiding here like a poor mouse, trembling.
Luo Qingzhou still didn't hesitate, and floated down directly, smashing her with a "poof" punch.
At this time, a yin wind burst out next to him.
The two black shadows fled in a hurry.
On closer inspection, a dark shadow was another maid; Another dark shadow is naturally Miss Song.
The two ghosts subconsciously sensed the danger, but fled in the same direction.
In that direction was the place where they died.
However, with their speed, how could they escape the pursuit of the gods!
Luo Qingzhou's figure flashed, and he had already chased behind the young lady of the Song family, and punched her in the back fiercely, using the greatest force.
"Poof!"
The ghost shattered and disappeared.
In a breath, Luo Qingzhou caught up with the ghost of another maid and killed her with one punch.
After killing the ghosts of several people, Luo Qingzhou Fang really put his mind at ease.
He floated in the air, and was about to leave, but suddenly found that there were suddenly several more figures on the riverside where the painting boat was burned.
Two figures stood by the river, whispering.
A few maids stood not far away, and a few guards also stood seven or eight meters away, looking around vigilantly with sharp eyes.
Those guards were full of blood and blood, and they were obviously also martial artists.
However, looking at its qi and blood, it is not too powerful.
Yi Luo Qingzhou's soul is naturally not afraid of the realm of today's travel.
He floated straight over.
Of course, he didn't float to those warriors, but along the river, to the two people standing by the river.
A woman with a gloomy face, a young man in his twenties.
At this time, the two of them looked at the place where the painting boat sank and were talking in a low voice.
Luo Qingzhou saw that the young man's body was faintly emitting a faint blood light, and he looked like he was also a martial artist, but it was estimated that he had just started.
And judging from his face, this young man estimated that the wine was too heavy, so the blood deficit was very serious, and the blood on his body was only as light as an ordinary strong man.
Luo Qingzhou approached from the top of his head and heard the conversation between the two.
"Your sister was burned here, and her ashes are nowhere to be found...... Almost all the people on board escaped, and a few of them died in the fire, apparently before the fire......"
"Mother, what's going on? You are secretive, did Zixi offend someone? ”
The woman looked at the river and was silent for a while, then sighed: "That's it, it's time to tell you." There's a mission tonight that you need to do, and you have to do it yourself. ”
The young man immediately said, "Mother, just give orders." ”
"You also know that my Song family stepped on the Qin family's upper position, and the Qin family was in Mocheng at the beginning, but it was an existence that was on a par with Chengguofu...... However, after two generations, it declined, and our Song family took away their docks and cloth business...... I'm afraid you won't be interested in these things. Saying this just to let you understand that in this Mo City, we and the Qin family can only save one ......"
"Zhe'er, next year's enrollment of Dragon and Tiger Academy, Qin Chuan will definitely participate, but Luo Yu from Chengguo Mansion will also participate, and both of them have a chance. Your eldest brother can't count on it, so he can only wait until the next year......"
"Also, the son-in-law of the Qin Mansion, according to the news I got, he is very talented, and he is very likely to be ...... in the autumn exam next year."
"You must know that the Qin family is up, and they will definitely retaliate against us...... At the beginning, Qin Wenzheng's second sister was robbed of the cloth business by us and died of depression. ”
"So, we can't be soft."
"A few days ago, the eldest lady of Chengguo Mansion went to her mother and set a family ...... for Zixi and her eldest son."
When the young man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Luo Changtian in the Yujing Imperial Forest Army? ”
The woman nodded and sighed: "It's a pity, Zixi doesn't have that blessing, but it doesn't matter, there is Ruoqing." ”
"Zhe'er, my mother told you so much, just to let you know that you can't let the Qin Mansion exist like this anymore, especially Qin Chuan, and the scholar who has entered the past. Originally, we were still a little hesitant, after all, the scholar was the concubine of Chengguofu, but after the eldest lady of Chengguofu took the initiative to come to me, I understood......"
The young man's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a low voice: "Mother, the child knows, the scholar ...... He must not be allowed to live until next year! The child will take care of him himself! ”
The woman looked at him and said, "Qin Chuan is a martial artist, and he either stays at home to cultivate, or goes out to hunt demon beasts with the martial artist team, we don't have a chance." But the scholar ...... There are still some opportunities. ”
The young man sneered and said, "Mother, although the child is not diligent in practicing martial arts, but now is also the stage of refining meat, killing a scholar is enough with one punch." When the time comes......"
"Don't be careless. According to the eldest lady of Chengguo Mansion, the Qin Mansion takes the scholar very seriously, and as long as he goes out, he may send guards to protect him. However, it is not without opportunities. ”
The woman looked at the river and said expressionlessly: "The eldest lady said that there is a little girl in Chengguo Mansion, and she has a good relationship with that scholar, and we can make a fuss about it." ”
The young man's eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice, "Mother, that little girl...... Is it pretty? ”
The woman's eyes flashed, and she glared at him and said, "When has this been, and you are still thinking about those dirty things?" The little girl you robbed when you went out of the city last time, you just played and played, what did you do with throwing people into the well? ”
The young man hurriedly smiled and said, "Mother, she jumped in by herself, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
The woman said with a calm face: "This time, you have to remember, put away your dirty thoughts, and cheer up your spirit, as long as you do this thing well, your father will naturally look at you with admiration." ”
The young man immediately said, "Mother, don't worry, this time the child will definitely live up to your expectations." By the way, you just said that you have a task for the child tonight? ”
The woman groaned for a while, and seemed to be a little hesitant, but finally decided, glanced left and right, and said in a deep voice: "Tonight, go to the back door of the Qin Mansion and wait in the alley, our people hiding in the Qin Mansion will come out and tell you about the business arrangements of the Qin Mansion during this time, as well as some other secrets." For the sake of safety, he will not write it on paper, but will only pass it on orally, these things are very important to us, you have to remember every word in your heart, can you do it? ”
The young man suddenly sneered and said, "Mother, I thought it was such a big deal, that's it?" Don't worry, I'll get the job done tonight! ”
The woman looked solemn and said, "Don't let outsiders know about this matter, you must go alone, don't tell anyone where you are going." Because that person is very important, you must not let it be exposed, and in our mansion, there may also be people from the Qin Mansion, you must be careful......"
"The child understands!"
"Zhe'er, this matter is done tonight, and tomorrow you can go to Chengguofu and meet that little girl. The little girl's mother may be unwilling, but it doesn't matter, the eldest lady will help you, she said, when the time comes, you can give the little girl to you as a concubine, and then you will naturally be at your disposal......"
When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The mother and son stood by the river, chatted in a low voice, looked at the river, silently said goodbye to the girl who died for the family, and then turned to leave.
Surrounded by the maid and a few guards, they got into the carriage and soon disappeared on the road by the river.
Luo Qingzhou floated under the night sky shining under the bright moon, thinking about what he had just heard, and rushed towards the Mandarin Duck Tower.
There is still some time before the third watch.
He still has time.
There is an inner ghost in the Qin Mansion, and it is also a very important inner ghost.
Who could it be?
As long as that inner ghost passed on the business arrangements and secrets of the Qin Mansion to the Song family tonight, then the Qin Mansion would be in danger.
Then his desire to eat soft rice as a little white face for the time being is in jeopardy.
So, can he sit still?
Of course not.
Those who smash people's jobs are not shared.
What's more, they still have to use Xiaolou to deal with him.
Of course he couldn't bear it!
Not long after, he came to the Mandarin Duck Tower.
On the roof of the building, the figure wrapped in moonlight still stood motionless on the cornice, as if looking at the moon and pondering.
Luo Qingzhou floated to the roof, stood behind her, and arched his hand: "Senior, there are still some things for junior tonight, and they may have to leave in an hour." If the seniors want to hear the story, the juniors will start telling it now, is that okay? ”
Yuebai's figure looked at Mingyue, and after a while, Fang said, "Do you want to go home with your lady again?" ”
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”
In the middle of the night, there is only this reason.
Yuebai's figure was silent for a moment, slowly turned his head to look at him, and suddenly asked, "How many ladies do you have?" ”
Luo Qingzhou: "......"
After a pause, he replied respectfully, "One." ”
This senior probably meant to ask him if he had a concubine.
In fact, in this era, a concubine is not a lady, she can only be regarded as a maid who sleeps, and she can't even eat at the table.
The moon-white figure didn't speak again, and looked at the night sky in the distance.
Luo Qingzhou waited for a moment and said, "Senior, do you need juniors to tell stories tonight?" ”
The moon-white figure said lightly: "No." ”
Luo Qingzhou glanced up at her and said, "Okay, then the juniors won't bother the seniors to enjoy the moon, and the juniors will retire." ”
The moon-white figure looked into the distance and said, "Stand still." ”
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, so he had to stand obediently and motionless.
The two of them, one in front of the other, stood on the roof like sculptures, motionless and silent.
An hour later.
Yuebai's figure spoke, "Go ahead." ”
Then he added: "Go back and accompany your lady." ”
"The juniors are retiring."
Luo Qingzhou arched his hand, left the roof, and soon disappeared into the night in the distance.
The moon-white figure still stood on the cornices until dawn.
After Luo Qingzhou went back, he first looked around the Qin Mansion, and then went to the alley behind the Qin Mansion to observe carefully, and then returned to the house and practiced the Thunder Fist in the room.
Fast three watches.
He floated out of the roof and silently into the dark alley behind.
Then he landed on the wall, and his eyes were fixed on the back door hidden in the depths of the alley.
I don't know how long it took.
With a "squeak", the back door opened.
A head wearing a hat sneakily poked out of the door, looked left and right, and after seeing that there was nothing abnormal around, Fang leaned low and walked out cautiously.
Luo Qingzhou stared.
The figure had taken a few steps, then suddenly stopped again, leaned against the corner, and looked left and right.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the moonlight at the entrance of the alley, and then walked quickly.
The figure saw it, and stood still, waiting for the other.
