4. Luoyang night
It has been almost a month since the incident at Wulong Villa, and this turmoil has just shown traces of fermentation. Immediately there was new and exciting news spread.
Within half a month, in Jinling, Chuzhou, and Badu, five large and small hidden buildings were attacked.
Nearly 300 people died, and the perpetrators seemed to hate the hidden building.
After each murder, the hidden building must be burned.
The hidden buildings have existed for a long time, and in hundreds of years, it is not without attacks against them, but this time the situation is extremely accurate, and the murderer's methods are very shady, leaving no room for survival.
It's fast, and it's not muddy.
The location of the attack was even more unpredictable, which caught an organization of such a large size as Yinlou off guard.
But then new news spread.
The person who attacked the hidden building was the demon Shen Qiu and his companions who were suspected of betraying the righteous path, and this news was mixed with the evil things of several sects being destroyed in the land of Xiaoxiang, and it soon spread all over the world.
What murder and treasure, what wolf ambition, rebellious and unreasonable.
With the reputation of Yinlou in the rivers and lakes, these news are like dirty water that cannot be washed, wave after wave, and it is even more confirmed that Heluo Daxia has fallen into the devil's path.
The former Heluo hero, within a few days, was condemned by the population, and some hidden buildings posted wanted notices in various places, offering rewards for arrest.
There is a slight smell of "public enemies of the rivers and lakes".
However, on the Luoyang side, the situation is still very stable.
This city was originally saved by Shen Qiu and his entourage, and the prestige of the heroes of Heluo is as stable as Mount Tai in Luoyang City, although there are rumors, but the knights in this city do not believe it very much.
Shen Qiu is the hero of this city.
"Sister, what they say is getting more and more excessive."
In the Luoyang Lei Mansion, Qingqing, who was wearing a long robe, grabbed a roll of notices torn from the side of the street, and walked into the room angrily.
Yaoqin will be reading the ledger and settling accounts.
In the past few days, the temperature has dropped strangely and suddenly, and Yaoqin has also put on a long coat in addition to the long skirt, but she still has the charm of a Jiangnan woman.
The abacus in his hand kept moving, and when he saw Qingqing walking in angrily, he didn't care.
She asked softly:
"What did they say?"
"The thief of the hidden building, said that the senior brother attacked a small sect in the land of Xiaoxiang again, called the wind chasing gate, and seventy-four people from the door master were all abolished martial arts overnight.
The sect was set on fire and hundreds of people were displaced. ”
Qingqing looked at the crumpled notice in her hand, she frowned and said:
"They have increased the reward again, and now the people who provide the traces of the senior brother can take 20,000 silver, and if they can bring the head of the senior brother, there will be a huge amount of 100,000 silver."
"Oh?"
Yaoqin raised her head and said in a strange tone:
"My husband's head is only worth a mere 100,000 silver? This hidden building is too practiceful, right? ”
"Sister!"
Qingqing was made to stand up by Yaoqin's words, and said with an unhappy face:
"It's not about money!
They are insulting the reputation of the senior brother, but they are pouring dirty water, and they don't see those righteous sects come out to explain to the senior brother, what happened to Jinling, we don't know.
I went to Uncle Zhang's side to ask, but he didn't say anything, he just said, let us stay in Luoyang with peace of mind, and the beggars will protect us no matter what. ”
Speaking of this, the little junior sister was a little worried.
She looked left and right, lowered her voice, and said to Yaoqin in a worried tone:
"Sister, you said senior brother, would you really do those things? I know him, he usually laughs, but when he encounters that kind of dirty water, he may really get angry. ”
"So what?"
Yaoqin glanced at Qingqing, continued to lower her head and looked at the account book, she said softly:
"Even if he really killed the King of Huainan and became a rebel in the rivers and lakes, he wouldn't be your senior brother? Isn't he my husband? Or is it that the young woman is determined to be on the right path.
If you want to fight the demon Shen Qiu, can't you cut your robe and break your righteousness? ”
"Hmph, my sister deliberately provoked me!"
Qingqing tore the notice in her hand to shreds, flashed to Yaoqin's side as casually, reached out to grab Yaoqin's itchy flesh, and was hurriedly pushed away by Yaoqin.
After playing around like this for a moment, Yaoqin sighed and hugged Qingqing in her arms.
She stroked Qingqing's long braid and said:
"For today's time, we can't be in a hurry, everything has to wait until my husband returns to Luoyang, no matter what he does, I will stand on his side, and you will do the same.
If others want to say, let them go, what kind of person is Shen Qiu, and who else knows better than us? ”
"Hmm."
Qingqing buried her head in her sister-in-law's waist, and she said angrily:
"It's just that they say bad things about their senior brothers, and they feel very uncomfortable."
"Then take this."
When Yaoqin heard what Qingqing said, she chuckled, opened the drawer, took out her seal, stuffed it into Qingqing's hand, and said softly:
"You go to Steward Su, take the bill of 300,000 silver in the private treasury, and give it to Miss Shen Lan, so that she can use the power of the Witch Gu Dao to spread the prestige of Heluo Daxia everywhere in the world.
Go to the Five Elements Gate again, and reward the heads of those Jianghu people who have taken over the red hanging red of the hidden building! ”
Yaoqin squinted her eyes, and she whispered:
"Just 100,000 silver, I want my husband to be on the head. Who can't afford this? ”
"Hey, hey."
Qingqing girl stood up with a smile, she played with the letter in her hand, and said to Yaoqin:
"My brother and I still have a little 50,000 private money, and we will also add it in."
"Whatever you want."
Yaoqin touched Qingqing's head, and she said:
"I haven't counted much of my private money, but I have accumulated it for so many years since I was a child, and I should have one or two million taels, and I will hand it over to you, go and spend it at will."
"Hmm."
Qingqing got Yaoqin's permission, and walked out of the room with light steps, her fists clenched tightly, intending to give her senior brother a breath.
Seeing Qingqing leave, Yaoqin sighed and picked up another account book.
But her mind was in turmoil, and the details of the Heluo Gang's major expenses in recent days were really a little irritating, and she was a little upset after reading a few breaths, so she threw the account book on the table and stood up.
Yaoqin walked to the window and looked out, not far away was an artificial lake, with halls and water pavilions, not like Suzhou scenery.
A gust of wind blew, blowing waves on the surface of the small lake, and also blowing the veil of Yaoqin.
Let this flower-like woman frown.
"Husband, you are not such a reckless person, is it because of Qingqing's background that you have done such a big thing this time?"
On the other side, Qingqing went to the stable, planning to pick a horse and find Shen Lan, a demon girl who lived in seclusion in Luoyang and claimed to be the new head of the Five Elements Gate, and said that this reward was offered.
As a result, Lu met Zhao in charge.
Since the death of Lei Ye and Lang Monk, Steward Zhao has also aged a lot, although he has also been promoted to the elder of the Heluo Gang, but in the past few months, he has not been in charge of the affairs of the gang.
Qingqing saw that Steward Zhao looked worried, but she didn't notice her coming, so she took the initiative to talk and say:
"Uncle Zhao, are you worried about Shiyin?"
"yes, how can you not worry?"
Steward Zhao said in a low tone:
"Early this morning, the old man received an urgent letter from Li Yijian, which has confirmed that the eldest lady has really returned to the Holy Fire Sect, but the old man has promised the old lady and the eldest master to take care of the eldest lady.
This is the old man's dereliction of duty. ”
Speaking of Lei Shiyin, Qingqing's mood also fell.
Although Xuanyu has repeatedly assured that Lei Shiyin went to the Holy Volcano, there would never be any danger, and it was even much safer than staying anywhere in the world.
But as Lei Shiyin's best friend, Qingqing is still very worried.
Senior brother Tuo Jinghong sent back the letter, although the words were very vague, she could probably guess why Shiyin made that choice, thinking of the words she said before she set off for Jinling.
It is said that Yang Tao, on the edge of the Yangtze River, killed many Demon Sect masters and destroyed the elite of the Seven Peerless Sects.
But not just for revenge.
Shiyin went to be a saint, probably in exchange for herself for the safety of Qingqing, Yaoqin, Shen Qiu, Xiaotie and others.
With her at the Holy Volcano for a day, it would be impossible for the Holy Fire Cult to disturb her friends.
"Shiyin has done a lot of great things."
Qingqing was very uncomfortable, and said to Steward Zhao:
"She's always been smart, she knows what she's doing, and what she can get back, Uncle Zhao, you... What are your plans now? ”
"The old man is going to the Holy Volcano! When Li Yijian comes back and hands over the affairs of the gang, the old man will set off. ”
Steward Zhao clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said:
"The old man is a servant of the Lei Mansion, he has never married in his life, and he has watched the eldest lady grow up since he was a child.
The old man couldn't sit idly by and watch the eldest lady suffer alone in the holy volcano.
Even if it is a demon cave in the world, the old man has to go on a walk, even if he dies there, he will not live up to the advice of the master and the eldest master. ”
"Uncle Zhao is really a brave and loyal person!"
Qingqing praised.
Steward Zhao waved his hand, and there was no expression of relief on his face.
He saw that Qingqing had picked a horse and was about to leave, so he asked again, and when he learned that Qingqing was going to do something to offer a reward, the old steward shook his head and said:
"You can't put down the bounty with your real name, and you can't involve the Falling Moon and Yaoqin Girl, this is to make trouble for Shen Qiu Daxia, if you really want to go, find a fake name, and you can't leave any hand tails."
Moreover, Shen Qiu Daxia is also a person valued by the lord and the lord, and you are the righteous daughter of the Lei Mansion, so the Lei Mansion also has to show some attention to this matter. ”
After half a pillar of incense, Qingqing went out of the Thunder Mansion.
In her sleeve, with several more bills, in addition to the 300,000 taels given by Yaoqin, Steward Zhao took a large amount of silver from Lei Shiyin's private treasury and gave it to Qingqing.
Coupled with Qingqing and Shen Qiu's own private money, the silver money in Qingqing's sleeves has reached 800,000 taels.
There is so much money, and a reward is given in the Five Elements Gate, and in this world, those who dare to pick up the hidden building have to think about it.
Not long after, Qingqing arrived in Shen Lan's small courtyard.
Xiuhe was still in that stiff posture, she welcomed Qingqing into the courtyard, and from afar, she saw Shen Lan's demon girl, wearing a red dress, sitting by her quiet quiet room, as if drinking tea.
On the table in front of Shen Lan's eyes, there was also a box.
"Yo, the young woman is here."
Seeing Qingqing coming, Shen Lan, who was wearing half of the fox demon mask, raised her hand and beckoned to Qingqing with a smile.
"Kitsune."
Qingqing scolded in her heart.
She doesn't have a good impression of this demon girl.
But this time I came to do business, Qingqing couldn't help but complain in her heart, took off her shoes, walked into the quiet room, and when she got closer, she found that in the wooden box in front of Shen Lan, there was a human head.
Frozen human heads, like ice sculptures.
Qingqing's eyes lit up, happy that he was already dead, and he could make this kind of ice sculpture that had been frozen for a long time in the whole world, except for the masters of the Witch Sect, there was only his own senior brother.
"It's a coincidence today, as soon as Shen Qiuxia's gift arrived, the Qingqing Heroine came over on his hind feet."
Shen Lan was very satisfied and stroked the ice sculpture in front of her, and she said softly:
"Are you going to come to my Five Elements Gate, and your hair is red?"
"Huh"
A stack of documents was thrown in front of Shen Lan, who picked it up with two fingers and looked at it.
"800,000 taels of silver, it's really a big hand, Shen Qiu really married a good wife."
Shen Lan let out a laugh, glanced at Qingqing sitting in front of her again, and said:
"There is also a good junior sister who dares to act, she is really a blessed person. Okay, you don't have to say it, who are you going to kill when you wait for Hanghong, the concubine is clear.
This work, I took it from the Five Elements Gate. ”
Qingqing saw that things were going so smoothly, and the disgust for Shen Lan in her heart also disappeared, she arched her hand and didn't say anything. Then he turned and left.
Seeing Qingqing leave, Shen Lan drank a cup of tea, put her hands on her waist and abdomen, and she called:
"Cold!"
In the next moment, there was a woman with a straight belly, dressed in black, and wearing a black veil to cover her face, silently flashing out of the shadows of the quiet room.
The high-level in front of the Five Elements Gate who conceived a child for Qu Xie, the elder of Youhan.
"Find a powerful manpower, and send Uncle Chiyun's head, with these hanging reds, to Yungui Fanjing Mountain."
Shen Lan waved her hand and said:
"Inform the remnants of the Five Elements Gate, and let them go to the Suzhou Yanyu Building within two months to meet the main master of the Gate, where the new helm of the Five Elements Gate is located."
Elder Youhan took the hanging red and picked up the box.
She hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Door master, what if those remnants are not convinced?"
"Miao Jiang Black Gu Master, I will go with you."
Shen Lan said in a relaxed tone:
"If you are not convinced, you will be persuaded to do so, but if you are still not convinced, you will be killed. But now that I think about it, the old man of Ten Thousand Poisons is also dead, so I will go to the snowy region again and recruit some poison masters to come over. ”
The Master of the Five Elements Gate thought for a moment and said:
"Just tell those poison masters that as long as they enter my door, they will have the entire Ten Thousand Poison Demon Book available."
"Go and do something, the world is in chaos, and our time-honored brand Wuxingmen is going to reopen its doors for business."
Ps:
New book recommendation link, "The Big Boss of the Back Pot", the new book of the shepherd boss.
