Chapter 13: To no avail
There was a lot of gossip in the audience, and it was finally possible to finally lead the matter back to Du Qiuhong's corpse. Ping Yuqiu asked as if he was an afterthought: "After talking about it for a long time, I can't be sure how Lord Du died." Shouldn't we start with a little bit about the corpse? β
Ouyang Qingchen said: "The first person to find the body of the owner of Du Lou was the girl who left the floating garden. β
The whole table fell into a subtle silence, and after a long while, Ping Yuqiu smiled dryly: "I didn't expect that Miss Delicious would come to join in the excitement of the Heroes Club, but it was beyond my expectations." It's just that I don't know what the girl is doing this time, and the business has not been good for the floating garden recently? β
Chu Hantian noticed a few people who covered their mouths and smiled, but he was not qualified to blame them, because he wanted to laugh himself.
"If the business of the floating garden is good, Mr. Ping might as well ask the girl herself." Ouyang Qingchen cast his gaze towards the corner of the room, and everyone followed one after another, and the girl had to stand up under the pressure of many sights, causing Ping Yuqiu to exclaim again.
"Oh, I really didn't expect Miss Meal to really come, you don't look like you are taking business, are you here to deliver goods? Or are you here to help which family or which one is looking for trouble? β
Suddenly, everyone's faces were a little wary. In a sense, Lifuyuan and Mimeitang are almost the same kind of existence, but Lifuyuan is not so bloody, but the things that are done are not necessarily very pleasant. Once took over a business, which was to recite aloud the love letter written by the owner of the Taihang cottage to his wife in front of the head of the Kongtong faction.
The girl was not happy or angry, and said unhurriedly: "This person next to me ......"
Everyone's eyes fell on Chu Hantian, Chu Hantian was not stage frightened, and took the initiative to step forward to let everyone see more clearly.
ββ¦β¦ In the first half of the night, the third watch ran out to practice swordsmanship, and then found something strange about the osmanthus tree on the other side of the yard, and went forward to investigate and found a corpse hanging on it. So he ran back and called me out, and I recognized the corpse as Du Qiuhong, the owner of the Du Building. She barely lifted her eyelids to look around the crowd, and then sat down peacefully, meaningβI'm done.
Because this statement was so unconvincing, everyone fell silent for a while.
"Osmanthus Tree ......," Ping Yuqiu muttered, and then smiled extremely uncomfortably, "Isn't that implicit enough to be obvious?" Who on the first floor of the sky, after losing the competition with the lord of Du Lou, hanged himself, wasn't he under the osmanthus tree? β
Fu Feng Qi and Ye Bu Qi stood up at the same time, Fu Feng Qi's face was so black that he could smoke, not to mention, even Ye Bu Qi could feel the black smoke miasma behind the mask even when Ye Bu was covering his face.
Ye Bushu spoke first: "I have always acted uprightly on the first floor of the sky, if I really want to take revenge, it is also an appointment to fight again, and I will never hide and hide like this." β
"Alas, Ye is the pen envoy, this competition is a martial arts competition, there is already a battle between the superior and inferior, the skill is not as good as others, and it is also your love and my will, how to revenge and revenge, and how to settle the grudge."
Don't say it, although Ping Yuqiu's words are not good, they do make sense. So everyone present except for the people on the first floor of the sky whose faces were not good-looking, everyone else was calm.
Ouyang Qingchen said: "But then again, if there are really people on the first floor of the sky who want to fight for it, since they have the ability to kill the lord of Du Lou, then they should make an appointment to compete in a dignified manner, there is really no need to beat around the bush like this." β
Ye Bushu breathed a sigh of relief, and Ping Yuqiu didn't talk back, just shook the fan, and laughed a few times.
These few laughs were really meaningful, even if Chu Hantian didn't know about it, he felt that there were many insiders in the competition between Du Qiuhong and Tianyilou, but it was not enough for outsiders.
Ouyang Qingchen said again: "Master Fumen, you have just checked the corpse, please inform you of the details." β
Fu Fengqi stood up and said: "The master of Du Lou died from a sword piercing the heart, and the murderer was clean and neat, either his martial arts are far above that of Lord Du, or the master of Du Lou is defenseless." β
This neat word sounds ordinary, but to the ears of everyone here, it is very familiar.
Ouyang Jian, the former head of Ouyang Villa, and the sixth master of the Golden Castle, were killed by the Emperor Meitang, either with a sword through the heart or with a blade to seal the throat, although the fatal injuries were different, they were all the same - clean and neat. It was as if they were lambs to the slaughter, waiting there to die.
Ouyang Qingchen said: "Lord Du's martial arts, what do you think?" β
The Emei faction's step away from the person did not speak, he squinted his slender eyes from beginning to end to watch everyone shouting. But don't blame him, this Central Plains hasn't even figured out them and the Qingcheng faction, and it's normal for him to not know the grievances and entanglements on the Central Plains.
Ye Buyu snorted coldly and turned his face away. However, Ping Yuqiu said in a chattering voice: "Master Du's martial arts, there is still a distance to reach the top of the rivers and lakes, but the Zhongyangmen Jiuye Twenty-Eight Style is not to be seen." Even Nan Rufeng doesn't dare to underestimate it, let alone us here, right? β
He squinted and smiled, and there was even a bit of a gentleman of a family. Bu Liren couldn't help it at this time, and said gloomily: "Oh? Is it? β
Ping Yuqiu glanced at him and said, "Oh, I forgot about this brother." It is indeed possible that the distinguished guests from Shu have unique skills, and maybe the martial arts of the Qingcheng faction are indeed superior. β
Bu Liren held the sword and slapped it on the table again, and shouted in a low voice: "Emei faction!" β
"Oh, look at my memory. Doesn't this the name Emei faction sound like a woman's sect? Don't be surprised if you remember the wrong step. β
The Jiangliu Gang orthodox help Long Songtao, who was sitting in front of Ping Yuqiu, finally couldn't listen anymore, and stabbed Ping Yuqiu with his elbow.
Chu Hantian couldn't help but ask Miss Yu in a low voice, "This Ping Yuqiu's mouth is so capable, how can he still live with sound limbs until now?" The dragon gang leader doesn't clean him up either? β
The girl replied to him slowly, "Do you think it's more important to say or do?" β
"Of course."
"That's it. The Jiangliu Gang has always been low-key, and on the big rivers, there are even some ancient ways and hot hearts. For the Dragon Gang Leader, Ping Yuqiu is an indispensable helper in dealing with various affairs inside and outside the gang. As for his mouth, anyway, it's fair to catch whoever says it, and everyone simply doesn't bother to pay attention to it. β
"No one is going to settle accounts with him because of his mouth?"
"Yes, yes, he was stunned before he could do it. barely held on and didn't faint, but he was knocked out by a fan. β
Chu Hantian was speechless, sure enough, people were mixed in the rivers and lakes, and they still had to rely on their strength to survive. What fights by mouth is really just a joke.
Over there, Ouyang Qingchen said: "Exactly, Lord Du Lou's martial arts are so high, he still hasn't been able to escape the clutches of the Demon Hall. Now that the purpose of our Heroes Club has not been achieved, but we have already messed up, what kind of system is this? For today's plan, only by working together can we overcome the difficulties. Now that this martial arts is in a state of scattered sand, it can't continue any longer. β
Ping Yuqiu immediately answered: "Second Zhuang Master, why don't we nominate you as the temporary leader of the Martial Arts Alliance." β
This is tantamount to throwing a string of firecrackers into the quiet crowd, or the kind that fires in two hundred bursts.
Not to mention the others, Ouyang Qingchen himself stared at Ping Yuqiu with a pair of eyes, as if he had just said something rebellious. Long Songtao lowered his head and drank tea, covering his expression with a teacup.
Ping Yuqiu just laughed, and gently tapped his head with a folding fan, and said, "Oh, I forgot, this person hasn't come here tonight, has he?" Otherwise, let's first nominate the second owner as a candidate, anyway, the hero will not have a leader, and we will have a good fight at the hero meeting tomorrow. β
"I'm okay with that." Surprisingly, the first to express approval was the step away from the Emei faction. He looked at no one and was unconvinced, but he still seemed to understand that the strong dragon couldn't suppress the head snake, after all, in the realm of people, people who are not familiar with the place, it is better to keep a low profile.
Ye Bushu then spoke: "I'll wait for the other heads to arrive tomorrow and make a decision after discussing together." β
Long Songtao nodded, indicating that he also had this attitude. This time, Ping Yuqiu didn't come out again, a folding fan lightly tapped his chin, and looked thoughtfully at everyone present.
It seemed that the meeting was about to end here, but Ouyang Qingchen suddenly asked at the corner of the house, "Miss Food, what about the attitude of Lifuyuan?" β
The girl had already moved her butt from the stool, and when Ye Bushu spoke, she had already moved to the back door quietly, Ouyang Qingchen's sudden greeting made her hand pushing the door stiff in the air, and this appearance looked like some thief had done something bad and was about to slip away, but she was stopped by the master's family.
Chu Hantian didn't follow behind Miss Food, he was still standing in place, watching how Miss Girl Delicious was going to sneak out in advance without attracting attention. As a result, he didn't expect such a show, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
However, the girl reacted very quickly, immediately stood up straight, and swept the whole audience with her eyes that were about to die. The eyes that had no spirit inexplicably revealed a sense of compassion, and the people who were swept away felt as if they were looking at a corpse.
"I don't have much to say if I don't have any right to speak, so I don't have to ask my opinion." After the girl said this coldly, she asked again, "So, can I go?" β
At this time, Ping Yuqiu couldn't bear it anymore, "Miss Food, forgive Xiaosheng for reminding you." You, and your men, are now the most suspicious people. β
He narrowed his eyes and smiled again, his eyes curved into a charming arc, looking sincere and harmless, and he couldn't match the content of his words.
The girl gave him a blank look, pushed the door and walked away.
This walk seems to be a beginning, and the rest of the people have said goodbye to each other, and they have gone back to their respective homes to find their own mothers. Chu Hantian also walked out with the flow of people, and before he could get out of the main house, he was stopped by someone.
It's to help the wind rise.
Regarding the fact that the head of a sect personally came forward to receive him alone, Chu Hantian still showed due seriousness and caution. He backed down and saluted, and finally asked respectfully, "I wonder what the master of the door is looking for me?" β
