Chapter 49: The Yicheng Family
The clothes of the prince surnamed Tang were scratched by the edges and corners of the boat, the reefs he passed, etc., and the gnaws of the fish, tattered, and the things on his body fell clean, even the long knife sank to the bottom of the water, and Meng Qi did not find anything of value.

The moonlight light shone on the face of the prince surnamed Tang, making the sincerity and unwillingness in his eyes extremely obvious, and the two lines of tears steamed a lot, mottled with traces.
"Huh?" Meng Qi's eyes opened early, and tears appeared a little wrong under the changes in light and shadow, not the problem of tears, but the skin.
His left hand groped over the face of the son surnamed Tang, gradually slowly, and suddenly pinched a layer of skin from the corner of his ear and peeled it off.
It's actually a human skin mask!
Meng Qi took this mask, looked at the face of the prince surnamed Tang, and sighed softly again.
This is not because the son surnamed Tang has become another person, but because the real appearance under the skin mask of the other person is the same as the facial features and characteristics of the appearance after wearing the human skin mask, the only difference is that his real face is covered with criss-crossing wounds, although it is not a new injury, but because the wound is extremely deep, it is difficult to fade, and it is even more hideous and terrifying after the scar and wrinkle.
"The reason he wore this human skin mask was probably just to hide his disfigured face. Meng Qi looked at the thin mask in his hand and speculated secretly.
This mask is exquisitely made, if it weren't for the tears of the prince surnamed Tang before his death, it would be difficult to show it with his own eyesight.
"There are so many wounds on the face, they are definitely not caused by the fight, it is like being tortured like this by life......" Meng Qi judged.
If it is caused by a fight, there will only be one or two deep wounds, which is like now, criss-crossed, dense, chilling, obviously someone deliberately did it.
Thinking of the slightly fearful and vigilant expression of the prince surnamed Tang when he mentioned going out, I thought of him when he watched Shan Xiumei fight with Huanxi Man Demon and Iron Hand Man Demon. But the experience of being killed and injured by another assassin and jumping into the river, Meng Qi can be sure that things are not simple, the son surnamed Tang may have offended someone who should not be offended, knew something that should not be known, was brutally tortured, and was stabbed to death by a killer.
After a deep groan, Meng Qi picked up the human skin mask, found a heavy object, and tied it to the son surnamed Tang. He was thrown into the river and buried in water.
"Things don't know, and I can't wade through your troubled waters. Meng Qi sighed, erased the traces, and walked back to the cabin, the human skin mask is intended to be used in the reincarnation world, if it encounters a faction confrontation mission, the enemy can only find Tang Gongzi, who has been missing for a long time, to take revenge when he returns to the main world.
A few days later, the building boat crossed the "cold winter". Driving into the "midsummer", the peaks on both sides of the river are sandwiched between the sky, and the apes cry constantly, green and quiet. Trees are continuous.
After the steep place of the mountain, the building boat entered the plain, thousands of miles of fertile soil, and the houses were strange.
Meng Qi had been concentrating on the cabin. With the assistance of Thunder Marks, the "Purple Thunder Strength" is officially introduced, and you can start to practice the "Wild Thunder Shock Nine Heavens" of the Purple Thunder Sword Technique.
The boat went up the river. Sail into the tributary Yahe, not a long time, arrived at Yicheng, and then Yedu.
Due to the fact that the Iron Hand Man Demon was too eye-catching that day, no one came to harass Meng Qi during this time, and after arriving in Yicheng, he left the rest of the ship in his room and left at night, making it unclear where he got off the ship.
Carrying the package on his back, Meng Qi looked like a scholar, paid the door tax at dawn, and stepped into the small but prosperous Yi City.
Qi Zhengyan was easy to find, and he casually pulled a person who seemed to be a hero in the rivers and lakes to ask where the head of the Huanhua Sword Sect Qi was, and Meng Qi got the desired location, wandered over slowly, looked at it while walking, and bought a string of rock sugar gourds from time to time to adjust.
The plaque of "Huanhua Rice Shop" jumped into view, and Meng Qi straightened his hoodie and walked in with a smile.
It was early in the morning, Qi Zhengyan was wearing a cyan robe, and he commanded the shopkeeper and his men expressionlessly, and suddenly saw a handsome boy coming in at the door, and his face suddenly changed slightly, and his surprise was overflowing.
The shopkeeper and the guy rarely saw the dead face of the head of Qi on weekdays, and they all turned their heads to look, and saw Meng Qi smiling brightly, and said enthusiastically: "Cousin, I'm here to join you!"
The corners of Qi Zhengyan's mouth twitched, his face turned pale, and his brother said in a demeanor: "Come in with me." ”
He turned around and walked to the backyard, although Meng Qi kept telling him that he would come to join him, but who knew that it would come so quickly and so suddenly.
When the shopkeeper and the guy saw that it was Qi's cousin, they looked surprised and strange, and they forgot to say hello, which made Meng Qi a little puzzled.
After entering the backyard house, Qi Zhengyan closed the door and poured Meng Qi a cup of tea: "Senior Brother Meng, aren't you still Xuanwu?"
During the previous exchange, Meng Qi mentioned that he was eating Zhang Yuanshan in Xuanwu.
"Senior Brother Zhang's tree is very popular, I will accept it when I see it, and I have come to join Senior Brother Qi, aren't you welcome?" Meng Qi deliberately said in a mocking tone, "By the way, we are commensurate with cousins and cousins, and we can't show our stuffing." ”
Qi Zhengyan's cheeks jumped: "It's not that you're not welcome, but you should come to me quietly first and discuss your words." ”
"Eh, what's wrong with my cousin?" Meng Qi once asked Qi Zhengyan that he bought land and property for his parents in his hometown and did not receive him, after all, the position of the head is not fixed, and he may be sent to other places to guard the foreign property.
Since his parents aren't there, it shouldn't be a problem to pretend to be a cousin, right?
Qi Zhengyan shook his head: "Before, my cousin came to defect, and something happened, and suddenly another cousin came, which always attracts attention." ”
"No wonder the shopkeeper and the guy have strange expressions. Meng Qi said suddenly, "The last time we met, I watched Senior Brother Qi have something on your mind, could it be your cousin's disaster?"
He took the opportunity to complete Jiang Zhiwei's entrustment.
Qi Zhengyan's expression darkened a lot: "It's a long story. ”
"Then take your time. Meng Qi stared at Qi Zhengyan's eyes.
Qi Zhengyan knocked on the table: "This faction has two principals in Yicheng, one master and one other. ”
"I know, you are the deputy, and it is your uncle who is in charge. Meng Qi answered.
Qi Zhengyan clasped his hands: "When I first came, my uncle was very wary of me, but later he saw that I was silent and honest, and often did not leave the hospital, and gradually handed over the rice shop and part of the field Zhuangzi to me to manage. ”
The Huanhua Sword Sect has vast fields, many Zhuangzi and shops in Yicheng, which is nothing to the big sects, but in the eyes of ordinary disciples in the enlightenment period, they can make themselves rich by making a little money, and their resources are no longer strained.
Therefore, the uncle of the Huanhua Sword Sect was initially very wary of Qi Zhengyan grabbing his handle and seeking his position. But with the passage of time, now he is silent, likes to practice martial arts behind closed doors, and is quite honest, so he gave him some less important rights, lest he can't stay and apply to return to the mountain, and come to a deputy who is not easy to deal with.
"Cousin, you don't care about this, the extra income is purely a windfall. Eat fragrant and drink spicy food. Meng Qi strengthened his name, so as not to make a mistake when he was outside.
Qi Zhengyan shook his head and said: "I am very satisfied with the current situation, I have extra money to buy a house for my parents and brothers, but the situation in Yicheng has changed." ”
"Huh?" Meng Qi probably understood Qi Zhengyan's worries, he was afraid that he would lose his stable life in the main world, and he would not be able to practice and improve his martial arts with peace of mind, and deal with the tasks of the reincarnation world and the idea of making a name for himself in the future.
"Although Yicheng is small, it is backed by Yedu, and there are many merchants coming and going. Prosperous and lively, there are four major families, Tang Ye Lingwan, Ye Jia Ling family is attached to the Zhou County Wang family. wants to suppress us and erode the property of this faction here, and the Tang family is close to this faction and has the same spirit. Advance and retreat together, maintaining the balance of the city. ”
Qi Zhengyan's worries had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and he was finally asked by Meng Qi. "A month ago, the old man of the Tang family was seriously ill and could not be a director, and several sons could not fight, some wanted to attach to the Wang family, and some wanted to invite us to come forward, and the people were panicked and the undercurrent was turbulent. ”
"Since then, the people of Wanjia have gradually distanced themselves from us, and we don't know what happened in the middle. ”
Meng Qi frowned slightly: "You Huanhua Sword Sect show your attitude, just support one with all your might, there's nothing to worry about, right?"
"This is the meaning of the faction, but if you want to support, it is indispensable to compete, I am not afraid of most of the masters in Yicheng, but the martial arts are special, and you can't do your best in broad daylight, otherwise you will be easily suspicious. Qi Zhengyan showed a hint of sadness.
"Hun Tian Bao Jian" is the peerless magic skill on the first page of the six reincarnation masters, comprehensive and powerful, different from most of the exercises, although Qi Zhengyan is only the perfection of the four tricks, close to opening the nose, but after the fourth layer of blue ice and snow is small, Hugh said that the ordinary six tricks, he has the confidence to defeat the seven tricks, and even most of the masters of the eight tricks.
Meng Qi laughed: "It's a trivial matter, in the future battle, my cousin will do it for me, and when you encounter a strong enemy that you and your uncle's strength can't solve, you can still ask the faction to increase help." ”
"Hmm. Qi Zhengyan nodded slowly, Meng Qi is here, and most of his worries don't have to worry.
"What's the matter with your cousin?" Meng Qi asked.
Qi Zhengyan rarely showed annoyance: "Half a month ago, my cousin came to Yicheng to defect, but one night he was picked off by the Ye family's guest qing's 'ghost shadow sword' Li Sui broke his tendons and tendons, and the human and material evidence was there, but the people of the Ye family said that we deliberately fabricated charges and framed us, and found people close to us to do perjury, protecting Li Sui, and my uncle was afraid that the matter would be big, which would provoke a head-on conflict between the Ye family and his own faction, and attract the intervention of the Wang family, and persuade me to cure my cousin first, and wait for the dust of the Tang family to settle before making plans." ”
Meng Qi frowned slightly: "What is the attitude of your Huanhua Sword Sect?"
"Uncle Shi didn't report it. Qi Zhengyan's expression was gloomy, "I sent my cousin back to his hometown to recuperate, even if he broke his tendons, there would be little hope for the future martial arts road." ”
Meng Qi nodded, and asked instead, "What is the strength of the four families of Tang Ye Lingwan?"
"It has been inherited for a long time, and there are treasures to suppress the family, but there has been no half-step exterior for many years, and the power has shrunk, and it is not out of the scope of Yicheng. Qi Zhengyan said simply, "But after all, it is a family, there is no shortage of resources and accumulation, and there are many masters of eight and nine tricks." ”
Meng Qi lightly chin and smiled: "Let's not mention the unhappy things first, cousin, you have to invite me to drink the wind wine!"
"I'm going to get a jar of osmanthus stuff. Qi Zhengyan's expression was wooden.
Meng Qi smiled: "Okay, what is there to eat in Yicheng, I'll buy it and drink it?"
"There is a Wufeng building nearby, and the pig's head meat and sauce beef are very good. Qi Zhengyan thought for a while.
Meng Qi walked out of the backyard, stepped into the street under the eyes of the shopkeeper and his buddy, and casually stopped a passer-by and asked:
"Brother Tai, I don't know how the Ye family will go?" (to be continued......)
