Chapter 140: An undercurrent surging

Qingxia Mountain.

Lingyao Sword Sect.

"But the head of the sect is still in retreat, and there is still more than half a month before the exit period, so we can't just wait and say nothing, right?"

"If this matter gets out, won't it damage the prestige of my Lingyao Sword Sect?!"

Second Elder Xiong Guanghe frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Elder Chu, we can't swallow this breath!"

"Yes, Great Elder, if we sit idly by, won't we make the world laugh?!"

The disciples standing in front of the hall also echoed in unison, and they were excited.

"Forget it, after all, he is a high-ranking Li'an Hou, we can't afford to offend, it's all the disciple's fault, the disciple has insulted the master, the great elder doesn't have to be embarrassed, Feiyang will find a place where no one is there for a while, and apologize for his sin."

Seeing that Chu Qingfeng was still hesitant, Ren Feiyang sighed and said with a look of self-reproach.

"That's it!"

"Don't make any noise!"

"Everyone is right, this matter can't be left like that, the people who hurt my Lingyao Sword Sect, someone must come forward to ask for an explanation, and they can't lose face!"

Chu Qingfeng had a calm face, hesitated for a moment, waved his big hand, stopped everyone, and said in a deep voice.

"Great Elder Shengming!"

"If someone needs to go, how about I? Just a marquis, I am not qualified to let you come forward in person, what does the Great Elder think? ”

When Xiong Guanghe heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said loudly.

"It's okay, I'm only going to the capital to seek justice, don't make a big deal out of it, lest it end badly."

"If you hurt my big disciple, just let him abolish his cultivation, there is no need to make a big move, I heard that this person's cultivation is profound, you must be more careful!"

Chu Qingfeng thought for a while, looked at Xiong Guanghe, and said earnestly.

"Yes!"

Xiong Guanghe nodded and agreed with his fists clenched.

However, although Chu Qingfeng told him bitterly, he didn't take it to heart, as one of the four elders of the Lingyao Sword Sect, he had been galloping the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and he didn't put a rising star from Anhou in his eyes at all.

"It is not advisable to bring too many people on this trip, just select ten elite disciples, and go back quickly."

Chu Qingfeng paused for a moment, and finally admonished.

Xiong Guanghe agreed, no longer hesitated, and immediately selected ten people from among the disciples and set off directly to the capital.

Ren Feiyang was lying on the stretcher, watching Xiong Guanghe lead people away, and a grim sneer flashed on the corner of his mouth.

But then he realized that he would be a waste person from now on, but he wanted to cry without tears, and his heart was full of resentment towards Liwuji.

...

Capital.

Zibo Ju.

In a private room on the third floor, Li Wuji was holding a glass of loveless wine, lying in front of the window, looking at the direction of the Yongan County Lord's Mansion, with a sad face.

Cao Zi'an stood at the door, looking at Li Wuji, who had been lying in front of the window for a long time, and showed a trace of doubt from time to time.

Since he knew that Li Wuji had offended the Lingyao Sword Sect, in addition to Lu Yuan's daily follow, Cao Zi'an also did not leave an inch, and arranged for many people in the abyss to secretly protect Li Wuji's safety.

This matter should have been Dillon's responsibility, but as the plan deepened, Tianshu's tasks became more and more, and Dillon was also very busy, and he hadn't appeared for some time.

As for what he did, no one knew except for Li Wuji.

"Childe, what are you thinking?"

It's been a long time, and Li Wuji is still lying there motionless, and occasionally sighs a few times, so Cao Zi'an finally couldn't help asking.

Hearing Cao Zi'an's words, Li Wuji came back to his senses, slowly turned around, sighed, and drank the wine in the cup.

"Lao Cao?"

After drinking a glass of wine, Li Wuji slowly opened his mouth.

"Yes."

Cao Zi'an nodded, clenched his fists and said, cheering up his spirits.

"You say, is there any way to create a chance for me and Yu Yan to be alone?"

Li Wuji looked at Cao Zi'an and asked seriously.

It seems that every time he sees Ling Yuyan again, his admiration will increase a little more, in today's world where women's rights are respected, Ling Yuyan is considered to be an existence that is not stained out of the mud, and she does not think of herself as high and does not take men in her eyes.

This is also the reason why he is so tempted, he is also a normal man, and he also has needs.

But Ling Yuyan is a princess of an enemy country after all, so she has to avoid some people, and she can't let people see the clues, otherwise she will inevitably fall into the truth. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him in this capital, and he doesn't dare to be too obvious, otherwise he will only harm others and himself.

But hearing Li Wuji's question, Cao Zi'an couldn't help but freeze in place, his expression stiffened.

He originally thought that Liwuji was worried about the Lingyao Sword Sect or other important things, but he didn't expect it to be because of the love of his children.

"What are you doing? I ask you what to say. ”

Li Wuji looked at Cao Zi'an, who looked a little sluggish, and spoke again.

"Childe, the affairs of men and women, the subordinates also know a little about it, I'm afraid I can't give advice to the childe."

Cao Zi'an smiled bitterly in embarrassment and said helplessly.

"That's right, you haven't married yet, are you?"

Li Wuji came back to his senses and said thoughtfully.

"No, I have been following the lord to fight the world before, and now I am with my son, and I have a bond when I get married, and my subordinates don't want to be burdened."

Cao Zi'an nodded and said with some ambition.

"What does this have to do with whether you have a family or not, you are a lot older..."

"You won't be so far..."

Li Wuji waved his hand, and as he spoke, he looked down at Cao Zi'an's private parts, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After listening to Li Wuji's words, and then looking at the place where Li Wuji's gaze could reach, Cao Zi'an blushed and was speechless.

Seeing Cao Zi'an's embarrassment, Li Wuji instantly knew that he had guessed correctly, and couldn't help laughing, not caring at all about Cao Zi'an's red and purple face.

...

Jishantang.

Xiao Hongxing looked at the two middle-aged people kneeling in front of him with a solemn face, his face was displeased, and his brows were tightly locked.

This is a pharmacy of the Xiao family, and it is one of the shops handed over to him by the big house.

But not long after he took over, there was a mess, and the caravan that was going to other places to transport medicinal materials encountered mountain bandits halfway, and the medicinal materials of the three major carriages were all robbed, and the caravan was dead.

Facing such a situation for the first time, Xiao Hongxing was a little at a loss for a while.

"Can you be sure that the other party is a mountain bandit?!"

After Xiao Hongxing hesitated for a long time, he asked in a deep voice.

"It's true, those people's dress and style of acting are indeed mountain bandits, and they are ruthless, otherwise they wouldn't have robbed and killed people again."

"And when they came up, they reported their own door, so the owner doesn't have to suspect it."

One of the middle-aged men in charge of the escort nodded and said with a bitter face.

"Self-report?!"

Hearing the middle-aged man's answer, Xiao Hongxing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and a trace of doubt flashed on his face.

According to common sense, mountain bandits will only report their homes when they encounter hard stubble, or when they deal with enemies, so as to deter the other party, but the caravan escorting medicinal herbs are all ordinary people, and it is impossible to report their home as soon as they come up.

And this road is the road that the Xiao family often takes to transport medicinal materials, how many years have there been no accidents, why did it go wrong as soon as he took over?

Thinking of this, Xiao Hongxing instantly understood in his heart, suspecting that it was a ghost caused by Dafang.

But there is no witness, and there is no physical evidence, even if he goes to the big house to confront him face to face at this time, the other party will not admit it.

The only way is to find a new source of goods as soon as possible, because those goods have already been booked out, and once the delivery date arrives, it will definitely not be able to be delivered.

And we have to find a way to recover the lost goods as soon as possible, otherwise Jishantang will suffer heavy losses, and it is unknown whether it can continue to operate.

After thinking about these things clearly, Xiao Hongxing sent people to find a new source of goods, and at the same time got up and went to the capital guard, planning to report to the official first.

Originally, he could have gone to Liwuji for help, but these shops were originally won by Liwuji for him, and now that he had just taken over, something happened, and he couldn't ask for help again with his face, so as not to disappoint Liwuji.

However, just as Xiao Hongxing set off for Duyingwei, a group of people dressed in rivers and lakes entered the city silently and went straight to Las Vegas.

The person at the head is none other than the second elder of the Lingyao Sword Sect, Xiong Guanghe...
