Chapter XVII: Assassination
Outside the city of King Chu, a caravan entered the city of King Chu.
On both sides of the wide street, some people can recognize that this is the caravan of the Wanguan Chamber of Commerce, which is the largest chamber of commerce in the Western Chu Kingdom, with countless subordinate industries, and the Wanguan Inn is open all over the nineteen cities of the Western Chu Kingdom.
When it comes to the means of accumulating money, the president of the Wanguan Chamber of Commerce, 'Shen Wansan', is a well-deserved first person in the Western Chu Domain!
Chu Wangcheng is the royal city of the Western Chu Royal Domain, and the caravans of the Wanguan Chamber of Commerce naturally come here from time to time, so the residents of Chu Wangcheng are not very surprised. The caravan of the Wanguan Chamber of Commerce entered the Chu King City in a mighty manner, and finally stopped in front of a relatively remote and spacious mansion in the west of the Chu King City.
This mansion is a private residence of Shen Wansan, the president of the Wanguan Chamber of Commerce, in Chu Wangcheng.
There were not many people in the caravan, only about twenty people, but all of them were sturdy middle-aged men, and suddenly, the middle-aged man who was riding a tall horse and walking in the front to open the way stepped down from his horse, came to the carriage behind, and said respectfully: "President, two young masters, here." ”
"Hmm," a faint voice came from inside the carriage, and a middle-aged man could be seen stepping out of the carriage, followed by two young men.
The middle-aged man was none other than Shen Wansan, the president of the Wanguan Chamber of Commerce, and the two young people behind him were his two righteous sons, Shen Feng and Shen Jiu.
The middle-aged man opened the way for Shen Wansan's father and son, and came straight to the gate of the mansion and knocked heavily on the gate of the mansion.
After a while, the door was opened, and an old man walked out of it, the old man was short, but a pair of eyes were shining, the old man saw Shen Wansan and the three people behind the middle-aged man, and immediately bowed respectfully, "President, eldest young master, second young master." ”
A smile appeared on Shen Wansan's Gujing Wubo's face, "Uncle Wen." ”
And Shen Feng and Shen Jiu also saluted the old man respectfully, "Grandpa Wen." ”
The old man's name is Shen Wen, and on the surface, he is Shen Wansan's henchman in Chu Wangcheng, responsible for all the affairs of Wanguan Chamber of Commerce in Chu Wangcheng, and is also the housekeeper of Shen Wansan's private mansion in Chu Wangcheng.
Shen Wen introduced Shen Wansan's father and son into the mansion, and the middle-aged man behind him placed his subordinates.
Shen Wen and Shen Wansan, father and son, came to a side courtyard on the east side of the mansion to disperse the nearby maids and servants, Shen Wansan sat down at the stone table, looked at Shen Wen who was still standing next to him, and suddenly said, "Uncle Wen, you can sit too." ”
Shen Feng and Shen Jiu stood aside, and also said respectfully: "Grandpa Wen, you sit." ”
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Shen Wen knew in his heart that if he didn't sit down now, the two young masters would definitely not sit, so he immediately sat down, looking at the two Shen Feng brothers who sat down one after another, Shen Wen squinted his eyes and said: "The names of Young Master Feng and Young Master Jiu have also been spread in the Western Chu King Domain recently. ”
When Shen Feng and Shen Jiu heard this, they smiled modestly, in front of this old man who even their father-in-law respected very much, they didn't dare to be presumptuous.
Shen Wen looked at Shen Wansan, pondered for a moment, and said, "Second Master, you came back in a hurry this time, but your plan has changed?"
Shen Wansan nodded and said, "Uncle Wen, I received a message from my eldest brother before, saying that everything has been arranged in Chu Wangcheng, so I haven't delayed any time in the past four months, and that plan can be implemented in three months at most...... As for the fact that I brought the two brothers back this time, I had no intention of leaving again. After all, when the plan is implemented, the focus is still on this Chu King City. ”
Shen Wen narrowed his eyes and said, "Second Master, this plan cannot be mistaken, it is extremely dangerous......! But you have to plan carefully. ”
Shen Wansan smiled and said, "Uncle Wen, I understand this." yes, I heard that the kid is back?"
Shen Wen nodded, a rare smile appeared on the old man's face, "Yes, I'm back, the head of the family has hardly closed his mouth in the past few months." ”
Shen Wansan's eyes were a little misty, and he said: "I remember, the last time I saw Xiaomei, it was thirty-two years ago, when she was just a little girl, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, she is already a mother, but the eldest brother didn't handle the incident twenty years ago very properly, but now that she is back, it's good...... That Qi Yu, who ranked first in the Baixiao Three Rankings, is Xiao Mei's son?"
Shen Wen nodded, "Yes, a very well-behaved child." ”
Shen Feng looked at the brother beside him and grinned, "Haha! Ah Jiu, you have to work hard, strive to break through to the innate realm before the implementation of the 'Heaven Turning' plan, otherwise you will really not even be as good as our nephew." ”
Shen Jiu smiled and said confidently: "Don't worry, since my father has found Buddhist relics for me from the Ancient Temple Sect, I will break through to the innate realm within half a month!"
When Shen Wen heard Shen Jiu's words, he was taken aback, looked at Shen Wansan and said, "Second Master, half a year ago, you went to the Ancient Temple Sect to challenge the first person in the Heavenly List, Gu Mokong, just for the Buddhist relics?
Shen Wansan said with a smile: "I made a bet with the old bald donkey of Gu Mokong, if he loses, he will give me a Buddhist relic left by the ancestors of the ancient temple sect...... If I lose, I will give him 100,000 taels of gold from the Ancient Temple Sect!"
Shen Wen sighed: "It seems that Gu Mokong is still greedy. ”
------
At night, in the Qinglong Army garrison, some patrol sergeants on duty walked by, and the surrounding courtyards were brightly lit.
"Forcibly dissolve the Buddhist relics in the dantian, completely integrate them into the innate qi seeds, and strive to use the power of the Buddhist relics to help me break through to the innate realm in one fell swoop! Success or failure depends on tonight," Qi Yu sat quietly on the bed in the room, his eyes closed, and cultivated.
At this moment, Qi Yu was manipulating the internal strength in the dantian, and rushed towards the Buddhist relics in the center of the dantian!
"This method is feasible!" Qi Yu was excited.
Qi Yu didn't know how long it had been, he only knew that he had been bombarding the Buddha Gate Relic with his internal strength, and at this moment, the Buddha Gate Relic had been bombarded to only half of it, and a golden liquid was wandering in the dantian, gradually merging into the dark golden innate Qi seed.
In the next room, Qing Xuan was looking at the record of the innate martial art 'Flower Grafting' in the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill", "This flower grafting, if you want to cultivate to the Dacheng realm, I am still a little worse now...... Once Dacheng's grafting is practiced, even if I don't step into the acquired Great Perfection, my strength is enough to suppress the ordinary acquired Great Perfection. ”
"Xixi......" Suddenly, Qing Xuan's ears moved, his face condensed slightly, he looked up at the roof, his face sank, "Someone!"
Qing Xuan was born with amazing ears, since he was a child in the Qing family, he spoke from people a hundred meters away, as long as he didn't deliberately lower his voice, he could hear it clearly. Later, with the cultivation of internal strength, Qing Xuan found that his ear power was constantly improving...... When he was in the Qing family two years ago, Qi Yu killed Qing Feng, and it was the first time he 'heard' it, you must know that the courtyard where Qing Feng was located was hundreds of meters away from his yard.
Qing Xuan could hear that the person on the roof was good at hiding and extremely professional, if it weren't for his excellent ear, he wouldn't have found it at all. When he heard the person on the roof stop, Qing Xuan's face changed slightly, "It's not good! This person seems to have come for Qi Yu...... Qi Yu is now at the juncture of breaking through the innate realm. ”
Without any hesitation, Qing Xuan walked out of the room lightly and came to the outside of Qi Yu's room.
Qi Yu felt that the Buddhist relics in the dantian had finally completely dissolved, and his heart couldn't help but be excited, at this moment, the speed at which the seeds of the innate qi absorbed the golden liquid melted by the Buddhist relics had also slowed down a lot, and it seemed to have reached a certain limit.
Qi Yu knew in his heart that only when this wisp of innate Gang Qi seed accumulated to the limit and completely exploded, could all the internal strength in the dantian be transformed into innate Gang Qi, and then could the innate realm be achieved.
"It's now, break!" Qi Yu's heart was shocked, and the internal strength squeezed so that the power of the Buddha Sect relics fused into the innate Gang Qi seed at a faster speed, and the innate Gang Qi seed was expanding at an extremely terrifying speed, and gradually seemed to have reached a limit.
However, at this moment, a window next to it was silently opened, and a ghostly figure jumped in from the window, as fast as lightning, approaching Qi Yu!
"Bang!" The door of Qi Yu's room was smashed open in an instant, so that the figure who swept in from the window couldn't help but be stunned, and at this moment, Qing Xuan instantly rushed to Qi Yu, who was breaking through, staring at the figure in front of him.
This is a slender figure, shrouded in black night clothes, and her face is also covered, it can be clearly seen that it is a woman, and the woman stares at Qing Xuan with some surprise, "You can actually find me?"
Qing Xuan's face sank, "Who are you?"
The woman moved, ignoring Qing Xuan, like a black lightning, her right hand slapped out into a palm, and wisps of turquoise qi swept across and directly imprinted towards Qing Xuan.
"Innate powerhouse!"
When Qing Xuan saw the woman make a move, his face suddenly changed greatly, his pupils shrank, and his body burst out, and he actually received a woman's palm, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, but Qing Xuan's originally peaceful face was a little more hideous, and he stretched out his hands and hugged the woman tightly.
The woman's body trembled, when had her body been held by a man like this, she only felt soft.
After a moment, the woman glanced at Qi Yu between the beds, her face suddenly sank, and she shouted lightly: "Are you helping him delay time so that he can break through to the innate realm?!"
Qing Xuan coughed up a mouthful of blood, and a cruel smile appeared on his face, "You only reacted now, it's too late!"
At this moment, the flickering Gang Qi on Qi Yu's body also reached the last moment, and with a 'bang', wisps of Gang Qi swept away, and Qi Yu also opened his eyes, but when he saw the scene in front of him, his face suddenly changed, "Qing Xuan!"
Qing Xuan hugged the woman's body and shouted, "Qi Yu, go quickly!";
