Chapter 53: Tang Mingyue
"Fifth Master Tang is in a hurry. Meng Qi looked at the letter that Qi Zhengyan handed him, and guessed casually.
The life and death of the second son of Tang are uncertain, and the position of the head of the family cannot be vacant for him, and the old man Tang somehow learned the news, his condition worsened, and it seems that there are not a few days, but who can inherit the family business has not yet had a score, Tang Wuye is inevitably anxious, and officially banquets the head of the Huanhua Sword Sect to seek stronger support.
At least from the current situation and the tone of the letter, it is not difficult to draw the above conclusions.
Qi Zhengyan nodded without a smile: "It is rumored that Second Master Tang controls the power of the family and frequently changes the guards in charge, and Seventh Master Tang went to Yedu at night, and Fifth Master Tang can't wait to be killed." β
Yedu is the home of the Wang family of Zhou County, the county seat of Zhou County, and the state city of Huanzhou.
Meng Qi folded back the letter and tapped his fingers lightly on it: "It feels a little weird, since Second Master Tang has taken control of most of the power when Old Man Tang can't be a director, why don't you look for the support of the Huanhua Sword Sect or the Zhou Jun Wang Clan, but don't contact either side?"
As a pawn in the secret struggle between the Great Family and the Damen Sect, Second Master Tang should have the necessary consciousness, that is, even if he sits in the position of the head of the family, without the recognition of either the Huanhua Sword Sect or the Zhou Jun Wang Clan, this position is not secure, unless he has something else to rely on.
"If something is abnormal, it must be a demon. Qi Zhengyan agreed with Meng Qi's opinion, but as a deputy, he had limited local resources and could not get more information.
Meng Qi got up and said, "Cousin, I'll go with you, if you encounter a situation that requires a move, I'll do it for you." β
If there may be a certain force lurking in the secret, deliberately assassinating Qi Zhengyan or Chief Lin, in this case, the Huanhua Sword Sect will definitely target the Ye family's Ling family or Tang Qiye, and the Zhou Jun Wang clan behind them will definitely not allow their affiliated families to be framed and attacked.
When the Heaven Destroying Gate was at its peak, it repeatedly used guΓ² assassinations in similar situations to confuse the situation. Provoke a fight, fish in troubled waters, Luo Jiao and Su Nu Dao are also good at this - among the nine ways of evil demons, these three are mainly active in the Great Jin Dynasty, but they are not inevitable, such as Meng Qi's suspicion of assassinating Tang Jing's second son Tang Jing's "unkind building", the main building is said to be in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
"That's fine. Qi Zhengyan said.
In the evening, Lin Mu, the director of Lin, arrived from Zhuangzi outside the city to the "Huanhua Rice Shop".
"Senior nephew Qi, is this your cousin?" Although Lin Mu was only Qi Zhengyan's senior uncle, his black hair already had a lot of silver threads. There are visible wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and forehead.
He was tall, with a slightly stiff back, obvious bags on his face, and he had yawned several times since he entered the door.
Qi Zhengyan arched his hand with a more upright attitude: "Uncle Hui, it is my cousin Meng Qi, he has lived in Xizhou since he was a child, and now he has come to join. β
"Meng Xian's nephew is very skilled. Facing Meng Qi, who was rumored to be terrifying, Lin Mu did not show the slightest contempt.
Yicheng is full of "Jun swordsman single-handedly broke into Ye Mansion." Brave warriors drink wine and kill people and go away".
Being able to kill Li Sui so quickly, his combat power is at least equal to that of the Nine Tricks, no wonder the Ye family has no big revenge.
Meng Qi said with a smile: "I don't deserve to be praised by Director Lin, that's the slander of the Ye family." β
This kind of thing. To admit it is a fool, after all, this is the Great Jin, not the Western Regions, and the Six Gates are still very powerful. Once the crime is confirmed, the Huanhua Sword Sect will not cover up.
Lin Mu yawned and glanced at Meng Qi deeply: "A hero is a young man." Master Qi, let's go, Huayue Building. β
The place where Tang Wuye invited the two principals of the Huanhua Sword Sect was Huayue Tower, a famous building in the city, on the bank of the commercial water that passed through the city, with an elegant environment and beautiful scenery.
As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the building, the boss who had been guarding the door greeted him with a smile: "Master Lin, you are really a noble person, you have been enjoying happiness outside the city, if it weren't for the invitation of Fifth Master Tang, I don't know when I would see you." β
His attitude was enthusiastic and flattering, and he didn't slack off at all about Qi Zhengyan and Meng Qi, but when he looked at Meng Qi, he had a lot of exploration and scrutiny, but the "Ghost Shadow Sword" was also a famous master in the city, but he was killed by this newcomer to the Ye Mansion with a single sword, and the news was not shocking.
Director Lin talked to the owner of Huayue Building in a reserved manner, and walked into the building, the lobby was full of square tables, and the guests were like clouds, and they went upstairs, and as soon as they stepped on the third layer of wooden planks, they saw a white and chubby middle-aged man with several guards equal there.
"Master Lin, I can look forward to you. The white fat man greeted him exaggeratedly.
This time, Director Lin did not hesitate to smile: "Fifth Master Tang, whoever pushes the banquet, I won't push your banquet." β
It turned out that he was Tang Sixun, the fifth master of Tang...... Well, the guards around me are very strong...... Meng Qi's gaze swept over the several guards beside Fifth Master Tang, and intuitively judged that their strength was very strong, and the bald old man with his eyes half-closed was afraid that he had nine tricks.
This is Meng Qi's growing spiritual sense after cultivating the Illusion Dafa and the Immortal Seal Method.
Meng Qi didn't find it strange, in this situation, even if Tang Wuye was a master of eight tricks, he didn't dare to carelessly go out without taking the guards, and he could bring as strong as he could.
"This is Tang Shu, the elder of the Tang family. Qi Zhengyan said to Meng Qi in secret, and he recognized the bald old man.
Meng Qi nodded slightly, as he judged, Tang Shu was one of the five elders of the Tang family, although he did not have the strength to be on the list when he was young, his own qualifications were above the previous Qi Zhengyan, relying on the tempering of the years and the assistance of the elixir, he finally became the Nine Apertures after the age of forty-five, but he has never been able to break the threshold of life and death and build a bridge between heaven and earth.
Generally speaking, it is unlikely that a family like Tang Ye Lingwan will have a guest with nine tricks, this kind of master of Cheng DΓΉ, his true qi is released, like an arm and a finger, and he can already open a sect, unless it is a big family like the Zhou Jun Wang family, they are willing to attach themselves and build a good relationship with their own family and sect in the future.
Of course, there are also nine masters who have become guests of the small family because of repaying their gratitude or righteousness, such as Sheng Jingxuan, the Ye family's "Blood Condensation Sword".
After a few words of greeting in the aisle, Tang Wuye and Director Lin led them to the "Hundred Flowers Pavilion", pushed open the door, and the cold dishes were already placed inside.
With a smile on his face, he said to Meng Qi and several of Director Lin's attendants: "Brothers, Tang has a confidential matter to discuss with the two directors in detail, please sit next door, Uncle Shu, you take them in." β
In order to show his sincerity, he did not bring any guards.
It's right next door...... It's okay...... Meng Qi pondered for a moment, exchanged glances with Qi Zhengyan, and followed Tang Shu and the other guards to the next door.
Suddenly. On the opposite side, the "Quarter Moon Room" opened, and a young man walked out, blocking the front of the line, and then hurried downstairs.
"Meng Gongzi!" the girl's surprised voice sounded.
Meng Qi looked over in amazement and saw a petite and delicate girl, her face was pleasing, her voice was tender, and next to her sat a young man with a black hero scarf on his head, with sharp edges and sharp eyebrows.
They were also at the feast. The companions are all young boys and young ladies.
"Wu, Miss Wu, Brother Shangguan. Meng Qi almost didn't remember who these two people were.
They are Wuqin Xin and Shangguan Han of the three mountains and four rivers, and they participated in the birthday banquet of Hua Tiange, the master of Zengxian Gate, together with them, which led to the strange stones outside the sky.
As soon as the words came out, Meng Qi regretted it, he should pretend not to know them!
Wu Qinxin said a little excitedly: "Meng Gongzi, don't come to be harmed, listen to your Jianyi, my senior brother and I have traveled to Huanzhou." β
The "Luoxia Divine Sword Gate" to which their "Broken Flow Sword Sect" is attached is a side branch of the Huanhua Sword Sect. It has a certain influence in Huanzhou, so this place is the first choice for travel.
"Very good, very good. Meng Qi dealt with it casually, and was about to leave.
Wuqinxin didn't let him go. Pointing at him and saying to the ladies on the table: "This is the 'gentleman's sword' Meng Shaoxia I mentioned, the road is uneven, he travels hundreds of miles at night, and slashes several enemies with a sword." There is no one who will be together, and even the Luo Sect is defeated in one move, after the fact. But he brushed his clothes away, regarded strange stones as idle, and hid his name deeply!"
Her eyes were shining, shining, and unusually excited.
Shangguan Han was a little cramped, and he also had a similar feeling, what Meng Qi did was exactly the feat that they had just entered the rivers and lakes that they had just stepped into the rivers and lakes that they dreamed of day and night!
Whether it is valuing righteousness over wealth, making a promise of a thousand gold, acting chivalrous and righteous, or walking at night on the mountain road, swords swinging two ghosts, slashing down and listening to thunder, one move to punish evil, and pride in the sky, it is extremely fascinating!
When he heard the "Gentleman's Sword", Meng Qi covered his face, good things don't go out, and evil things go a thousand miles!
"It turns out that he is the 'Gentleman's Sword' Meng Shaoxia, no wonder!" It was a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth who spoke, her hair was lightly pulled, a golden hairpin was tied, and a bright pearl hung from her hairpin.
The girl stood up, smiling smartly, but she seemed a little distracted: "The little woman Tang Mingyue has seen Meng Shaoxia. β
"It turned out to be Miss Tang Jiu. Meng Qi returned the salute, what a coincidence.
Wu Qinxin looked at Tang Mingyue incomprehensibly: "Sister Tang, why do you say it's strange?"
"Sister Qinxin, the young man we talked about just now is Meng Gongzi. Tang Mingyue smiled reluctantly.
Wu Qinxin shouted: "No wonder! I'll just say who can break into the Ye Mansion between a glass of wine, and kill the ghost shadow with a sword to avenge his relatives!"
This kind of thing, for Miss Childe and a chivalrous young woman, is also a feat of thinking!
She said to Meng Qi in surprise: "It turned out to be Meng Gongzi, you are worthy of the 'Gentleman's Sword'!"
Can you not mention it?" Meng Qi said with a stiff smile: "There are other things to do, and I will talk about it later." β
He always felt a little unsettled, like something was going to happen.
Just as Meng Qi turned around and was about to walk into the room next to the "Hundred Flowers Pavilion", Tang Mingyue gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and walked out with extremely fast steps.
"Meng Shaoxia, the fifth uncle has already defected to the Wang family, and he was instructed by the Ye family to attack and kill you to make a name for yourself!"
"Each of the four families has sent a master of the Nine Tricks, and the Ye family is still preparing to make a killing move!"
Meng Qi was startled, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately remained silent, signaling Tang Mingyue to continue walking downstairs.
No wonder I think it's wrong, what secret things don't come to discuss in person, I have to let everyone see them in Huayue Tower?
He walked to the next room of the "Hundred Flowers Pavilion" seemingly without any abnormality, and his steps were just as he took a step, but his body strangely crashed into the room behind him.
Tang Shu is also an old Jianghu, his pupils contracted, and he reacted at once, clapping his palms together.
The left palm is cold, the right palm is scorching, and the two palms are twisted into a ball, the cold and heat are staggered, like a spiral, highly condensed, and hit Meng Qi.
The wind of his palm overflowed, enveloping the neighborhood.
At the same time, a thin long sword stabbed from the next door where Meng Qi crashed into the room, and a bloody light on the sword reflected the light moon, poignant and cold. (To be continued......)
