Chapter 45: The Competition
Zhuo Xing'er looked at the sword in his hand, her eyes were slightly stunned, and she secretly exclaimed in her heart, what a beautiful sword!
Gu Yizhou held the Qiushui Sword and swung it horizontally, accompanied by a slight sword sound, and the soft sword body trembled slightly, like ripples on the surface of the lake blown by the wind.
He leaned over a little and said, "It's ugly." ”
After saying that, a flying step quickly retreated a few feet, stepped on the wall rock on the left and stepped up, and suddenly leaped to the height of two people, and everyone couldn't help but look up, not knowing why he did this.
Zhuo Xing'er didn't understand what was going on, but she could sense that he was so far away that he shouldn't have the intention of fighting directly, but he didn't know what to do.
His body was very fast, and when he fell again, the sword in his hand waved, and the sword light flickered, and the shape could no longer be seen.
When his body hit the ground, he only heard countless "crackling" cracking sounds, and in the hidden weapon boxes next to the dozen or so stairs behind him, the wooden sticks used to hold the probes were all cut in half, fell out of the boxes, and rolled down the steps.
Everyone was motionless, all of them were frightened, only Zhuo Xing'er clapped her palms, this voice was particularly abrupt in the silent crowd.
She leaned sideways and made a generous "please" gesture.
When everyone behind her saw her take the lead, they all automatically made way of a passage, which was enough to accommodate him to pass.
Zhuo Xing'er secretly admired his way of dealing with it, if he wanted to fight with himself, no matter who lost or won, it would not look good, using this way not only proved his swordsmanship, but also did not have to hurt his face, it was really a two-pronged strategy.
The sword technique that fell from the sky just now was able to destroy dozens of hidden weapon boxes around him, which was already extremely exquisite, although it was the same as the form of the Ten Thousand Lights Sword Technique, but it did not use its true power.
If the power of the Ten Thousand Lanterns Sword Technique is exerted, it is estimated that the entire box will be destroyed, and it may even hurt the stairs on the side, and the Jackdaw Gate will have to spend time and effort to repair all this.
The power is also very accurate.
Therefore, Zhuo Xing'er admired in her heart, and naturally made way for him.
Gu Yizhou turned around and winked at the hated wind, and said, "Now you can leave generously." ”
Hate Wind walked up, and the two of them climbed the stairs one after the other.
When passing by Zhuo Xing'er's side, he leaned over slightly and said, "Agreed." ”
Zhuo Xing'er hugged her fists and said with a smile: "Good skills, admire!"
Hearing such admiration, he scratched his head a little shyly.
Suddenly, a guard dressed in green clothes and wearing a forehead guard trotted over and whispered in front of Gu Yizhou: "Young man, the master envoy invites you to meet." ”
He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced back at Hate Wind, she just said lightly: "Go ahead." ”
The guard said to the hated wind: "The commander of the division also asked you to go with you, he wants to see the two of you and stay in the rain pavilion on the top of the mountain." ”
"Let's go, then. Hate Wind nodded in agreement, didn't think much about it, and strode up.
Gu Yizhou followed behind her, not knowing why.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and order was quickly restored on the stairs.
In the Suyu Pavilion, Gu Yizhou leaned over slightly towards Shi Mingxuan and said, "In the next Gu Yizhou, I have seen the chief envoy of the division." ”
Shi Mingxuan waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. He motioned to sit down, and the three of them sat down at a table.
The teapot with curling green smoke was roasting on the charcoal fire, Shi Mingxuan turned his wrist lightly, took it off, skillfully poured two cups of tea, handed them to the two of them respectively, and said to Gu Yizhou: "Ling Zun is everything good?"
When Gu Yizhou heard him ask, he asked a little strangely: "Do you know my father?" It's just that he has passed away. ”
Shi Mingxuan's face was slightly stunned, and he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't know about this. ”
Gu Yizhou waved his hand: "It's okay, why did you ask about your father?"
"The founder of the Jackdaw Gate is named Yin Lianmeng, and his mother, Qiu Hongyu, is Ling Zun's sister and the queen of the Lamp Gate. The origin of this is really wonderful. Shi Mingxuan said slowly.
When he heard this, he only felt that the name Qiu Hongyu was very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he thought that at the end of Shi Mingxuan's Wind Chopping Sword Technique, there was Qiu Hongyu's signature.
Gu Yizhou was puzzled, because he had never heard that his father had a younger sister.
Shi Mingxuan saw his doubts, so he answered: "Come to think of it, you don't know about this, Ling Zun must not have told you about her," he sighed, "This is also understandable, the reputation of Qiu's predecessors back then was not good in your Central Plains, so he left for another country and came to Yaskawa." ”
Gu Yizhou asked curiously, "So, this Senior Qiu is my aunt, what did she do?"
Shi Mingxuan put the teapot on the charcoal fire, looked at the flickering charcoal fire, and replied in a deep voice: "I killed someone, made a feud, and had nowhere to go, so I came to Yaskawa." ”
Gu Yizhou wanted to continue asking, but Shi Mingxuan shook his head and said, "What are you doing about these things, inviting the two of you to come over today is something to discuss." As he spoke, he took out a dossier and handed it to Hate Feng, "This is the beginning and end of the children's smuggling case in Quancheng, all kinds of details are in it, I want to leave this matter to you, because there is really no one around." ”
Hate Feng paused and took the file.
Shi Mingxuan suddenly looked at Gu Yizhou and said sincerely: "These children, if they are sent to the Central Plains, the end must be very miserable, and the Jackdaw Gate must take over this task to save these children." But if we can still do something in Yaskawa, in the Central Plains, it will be beyond our reach. At that time, please also ask a lamp door to help from the side, and all remuneration can be discussed. ”
Gu Yizhou suddenly asked, "Wait, you mean, the trafficking of children in Quancheng?
Shi Mingxuan nodded.
Gu Yizhou immediately hammered the table and said in a muffled voice: "No need to be paid, this favor, help!"
Seeing that he agreed so simply, Shi Mingxuan was a little puzzled and asked, "Why is Shaoxia so decisive?"
"Do you know, how did the Xuan Ming Division of Quancheng know about this?" Gu Yizhou said, "That's what I went to report, I was still in the thunder fire at that time, and after I arrived in Quancheng, I found that a group of assassins had taken over this task, and I really couldn't look past it, so I went to the Xuan Ming Division and pasted a piece of paper and wrote everything on it." ”
I see!
Shi Mingxuan finally understood why someone would report this matter to the Xuan Ming Division of Quancheng before him, he had always wondered who this person was, but he never expected that it was the person in front of him, going around and around, it was really amazing.
On second thought, all his original guesses had to be reversed.
He had always thought that all this was because Xuan Ming Si used the matter of the city lord of Quancheng City to lure him into taking the bait, so that he could strangle himself in the forest outside Quancheng.
But if someone really reported it to the Xuan Ming Division, and they found the Jackdaw Gate to help, it means that the Xuan Ming Division really didn't know about child trafficking before.
Then, it was not the Xuan Ming Division who colluded with the city lord of Quancheng, but someone else!
