Chapter 34: Uninvited Guests
On this night, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and there were four people sitting in the reception hall of the head of Shazhou Gentlemen's Hall, all of whom were worried. The one sitting in the master's seat was born white and fat, and he looked like a wealthy outsider, and he was the head of the Junzi Hall, Ji Wuchang.
"Brother Ji, this time Wu Xingwen dared to stretch out his thief's hand to you, he couldn't help but take the heroes of Shazhou too seriously. You can rest assured, with my 'Iron-winged Vulture' Fang Tianying, 'Iron Mask Daoman' Tang Daochang, and 'Sandbank Divine Catcher' Yan Zhutou here, this Wu Xingwen can't make any waves. ”
It turned out that Ji Wuchang couldn't sleep well after receiving Wu Xingwen's name to steal Shending, in addition to letting Yan Zhutou rush to sit in the town, he also invited Fang and Tang, two masters of the rivers and lakes from Shazhou City, to help him, in case of accidents.
The iron-masked man wore a mask made of fine iron and couldn't see his expression clearly, and he was noncommittal.
Yan Changqing, who was dressed in an official robe, sat in the east head, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, and he sat quite dignified.
Yan Changqing shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Brother Fang, don't be careless. This Wu Xingwen has committed countless crimes in the northwest, and he is by no means in vain. What's even more terrifying is that he is cunning and the best at disguise..."
Before the words fell, everyone's feet trembled slightly. Ji Wuchang looked at the stone bricks below and exclaimed, "There are people underground!" The Iron Mask Dao Man, Yan Zhutou, and Fang Tianying jumped up one after another, and looked at the ground vigilantly around Ji Wuchang.
There was a strange movement in the underground, and eight forces rushed from eight directions, rushing towards the center of the hall together.
Until the eight forces converged, the ground cracked. Several people were on guard, but no one came out of it, but instead revealed eight straight and sharp long swords that stuck diagonally into the ground, blooming like lotus flowers.
"Eight swords fly! What a strong sword qi! Yan Changqing couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"Hahaha, Yan Zhutou praised it, it's just some carving insect skills." At this time, Zhang Yiteng's voice came from the beam in the northeast corner of the hall.
Everyone followed the prestige, and a young man in a white shirt jumped down and landed in the center of the eight swords, with his back to everyone.
"Your Excellency is...?" Ji Wuchang asked in disbelief.
"Below is the Sword Master of the Divine Sword Lu, and the disciple under the seat is Qingfeng." Zhang Yiteng turned around and saluted, and his face was handsome and handsome when he raised his eyes.
Seeing that he was a descendant who was only a weak crown year, the masters in the hall at this time couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and no one found out after he stayed on it for so long. But it's no wonder that they are not the same, Zhang Yiteng's cadre Mo Xie Jing has been practicing for a long time, and he has practiced to the point of perfection in the perception and "anti-perception" of the surrounding environment, and he has not been discovered in nature.
"Are you the tall foot of the Great Sword Master?" Seeing that it wasn't Wu Xingwen, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their suspicion of Zhang Yiteng did not weaken in the slightest, and at this time, Yan Changqing took the lead in speaking, "Then why are you sneaking around hiding on the beam?" ”
"It's easier to observe on it, and you can notice people and things that you wouldn't normally pay attention to." Zhang Yiteng replied calmly, "My purpose here is the same as that of several people, and I am also here for Wu Xingwen. ”
"Wu Xingwen? Could it be that you have a holiday with this person, Childe? ”
Zhang Yiteng shook his head, "I've never seen it." It's just that when I passed by here and learned that Junzitang had encountered a difficult situation, I couldn't help but feel angry when I saw a bandit so rampant. In addition, Master has always been jealous and hateful, and taught me not to tolerate evil spirits, so I rushed to think of a help. ”
"I see. It's rare that the son is kind, Ji is very thankful. Ji Wuchang beckoned the other three to sit down, and asked Zhang Yiteng to show tea, "This Wu Xingwen has the ability to cry chickens and dogs, we don't dare to be careless, and I hope that the son will not be strange." ”
Zhang Yiteng took a sip of tea and said, "Master Ji is serious. On the way, I heard that Wu Xingwen was going to take away the treasure of Ji Zhangmen, the Nine Dragons Divine Ding, on the fifth night of the Lunar New Year. I'm in a hurry to get here, and it's the fourth year of junior high school. In other words, tonight's third watch day will be the time when Wu Xingwen agreed to come. ”
Yan Changqing nodded and said, "The words are good, but I expect that although he is about the fifth son of the junior year, he must come to the Junzi Hall in advance to step on some plans and make some moves." In the past few nights, I have not taken it lightly, carefully patrolling the inside and outside of the Gentleman's Hall. ”
Zhang Yiteng couldn't help but secretly praise Yan Changqing in his heart at this time: This person is thoughtful and not rigid, and he is really a cadre. It's just that if you don't scare Wu Xingwen off because of this, it will be worth the loss.
"Since Qingfeng Gongzi is a descendant disciple of Zhang Da Sword Master, it is expected that his martial arts are not bad, so he will come with me to protect the Nine Dragons Shending of the Ji Sect."
As soon as the iron-winged vulture Fang Tianying's voice fell, Zhang Yiteng's mind immediately came with the news of the system.
Bite!
The system prompts that the task is received: [Appointment of the Child Time]
Mission Description: The mysterious and unpredictable thief Wu Xingwen will appear in the Junzi Hall when he is the fifth son of the junior high school and steal the treasure of the head of Ji, the Nine Dragons Shending. Naturally, you will not sit idly by, as long as you can stop Wu Xingwen from stealing Shending before the time of day, the task will be completed.
Reward: 20 attribute allocation points
Yo, I've got another mission, and the reward for this mission is really good. With these 20 attribute points, I can increase it to 230 points by adding 10 points to my hit, and then complete the current mission on the Tuna Realm quest tree, "Eagle Eyes Like a Torch"!
Zhang Yiteng was secretly happy in his heart, and said with righteousness and solemnity on his face: "It is my generation's work to do chivalry, and it is incumbent on me to do it!" In this way, K Zhang Yiteng also followed a few people to guard the hall.
It was the second watch of the night, and there was still nothing unusual about Junzitang. Yan Changqing left the hall first.
Yan Changqing inspected the Junzitang Mansion for a week as usual, and the entire courtyard had already been surrounded by people he had sent to surround him. When he walked to the courtyard, he saw that the moon was full outside, and he couldn't help but look up for a while.
"It turns out that Yan Zhutou is also a vassal and elegant person who looks at the moon and hurts." Suddenly, hearing someone talking next to him, Yan Changqing looked back and saw that it was Zhang Yiteng walking slowly.
"Qingfeng Gongzi is not in the hall, is he out to accompany Yan to inspect?" Yan Changqing looked at this young man with interest.
Zhang Yiteng smiled slightly, "You have hidden the Divine Ding so secretly, it is expected that there will be no problem." I wanted to come out and see it. ”
"Oh?" Yan Changqing said curiously, "Do you know where we hide the treasures? ”
"Presumably, there is another hidden grid under the stone brick where Master Ji settled, and Shending is there."
"You..."Yan Changqing looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he said with confidence, "No one has told me about this matter except for me, Ji Zhangmen, Fang Tianying, and Tang Daochang. How do you know? ”
"Hahaha," Zhang Yiteng shook his head, "I used one of the 'Storm Plough Gardens' in the Wind Sword Technique to control the Bafang Long Sword to burst out of the ground. The first to discover the underground movement was the head of Ji. Then his expression changed dramatically, indicating that he was always watching his feet, and that there was something down there that he cared so much about..."
"But that doesn't mean anything?" Yan Zhutou continued to ask, his eyes flickering.
"Hey, I've popped up, and you're all on your feet; Only Ji Zhangmen sat firmly in his seat, not moving at all. When I reported to my family, the head of Ji still didn't get up to answer. He doesn't speak like a rude person, because I think he must have a reason not to get up. ”
Zhang Yiteng stared at Yan Changqing and said slowly, "That is the Nine Dragons Divine Ding, which is at his feet." ”
