Chapter 65: Mysterious Forces
The atmosphere in the main hall became solemn for a while, and Jian Twelve thought that with his reputation as the city lord of Furong City, it should be no problem to invite the top ten people in the rivers and lakes to come to the competition, but who knew that only four of the ten people came, and one person, Li Chengfeng, had no intention of participating in his competition, which made him lose face.
And the results of the competition were even more unsatisfactory, a person who could be pinched to death with his bare hands and weak in light skills actually got the help of the rest of the people, but kicked out a person with good light skills.
The proposal to invite everyone to serve in Furong City just now is just pretending.
Jian Twelve knew that he was asking for everyone, so he said, "I wonder if you young heroes have heard of Yanyu Hall?"
Everyone shook their heads in confusion, indicating that they had never heard of this name.
Sword Twelve stepped down from the throne and walked to the hall and said, "There is a mysterious force in this Hibiscus City, called the Smoke and Rain Hall. Yanyutang is extremely powerful in the city, from the golden guards in the city to the small vendors in the market, there are their secret agents and sentries. It stands to reason that there are other forces in the city, and this seat is not allowed, but what Yanyu Hall operates is some fly camp dog sneaky and unsightly things. For example, not long ago, Li Er in the city was addicted to gambling, and he did not hesitate to sell his wife into the Qinglou, and finally went to a dead end, and the Qinglou and the gambling house were operated by the Yanyutang. Sword Twelve sighed and said.
Jiang Qiu, Lin Xia and the others were still confused, wondering how Sword Twelve had begun to tell the story. But in order to avoid the atmosphere being embarrassing again, Fang Chengyu continued the sword twelve words and asked, "Oh? There is such a thing? Could it be that the Qinglou and the gambling house jointly deceived Li Er?"
Jian Twelve frowned when he heard Fang Chengyu's rhetorical question, and said, "Fang Shaoxia is worthy of being a disciple of the Wudang Sect, and he is really smart. Exactly, there was such a big event in the city, so I asked General Wuguang to investigate, and it turned out that it was the Yanyulou who was behind the game to lure Li Er into the bait, and finally caused Li Er's family to die. Li Er's whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are uncertain. β
"Do you young heroes also think that this Yanyu Mansion is acting too viciously? As the city lord of Furong City, this seat has such evil deeds under the jurisdiction of this deity. If you don't get rid of it, it's really hard to get angry. Sword Twelve suddenly said in a majestic voice like a bell.
Everyone was still frowning, not knowing what kind of medicine was being sold in the twelve gourds of the sword. Jiang Qiu listened carefully to the story narrated by Sword Twelve, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but it was indescribable for a while.
"This seat has sent its spies and General Wu's men to investigate the location of the main hall of Yanyu Hall many times, so as to uproot them and wipe them out, but the people sent are either unknown or brutally murdered. The real purpose of this light gong body method competition is to select five young heroes who are proficient in light gong body method, for this seat, but also for the people of Furong City, I hope you can make a secret visit to pull out the smoke and rain hall and completely sweep it away. Jian Twelve clenched his right hand into a fist and said through gritted teeth.
"I don't know why I need to be proficient in the light exercises?" Xiao Jintong asked curiously.
"This seat has deliberately chosen to be proficient in the light gong body method for your safety, and in case of danger, you can use the light gong body method to escape, so as not to lose your life. Sword Twelve explained.
"I see, I want to come to the city lord is also well aware of the righteousness and sympathetic to the people of Dawn, which is really the blessing of Furong City. Jiang Qiu said with a smile.
"Since this is the case, then this important task will be handed over to you young heroes, and after the matter is completed, there will be a heavy reward for this seat. Sword Twelve clapped his hands and laughed and looked at everyone.
Fang Chengyu and the others also looked at Jiang Qiu in great surprise, and they didn't know why she suddenly took the matter down. Before entering the city lord's mansion, he also said to the blades that this banquet was a feast of the Hongmen, and it was dangerous and abnormal. But after coming here, Sword Twelve did not show any performance towards everyone, but first warmly invited, and then handed over a heavy task to everyone.
After coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Jintong took the lead in asking, "Sister Lingshu, why did you suddenly take over the task of the City Lord? Didn't you say that the City Lord has always had ulterior motives?"
Jiang Qiu looked at everyone and shook his head helplessly and said, "We all thought that this city lord was too simple, we thought that he was going to suppress us, but we didn't want him to invite me to serve in Furong City first, and then told us a story. Regardless of whether this story is true or not, how can we deal with forces that his City Lord's Mansion alone can't deal with? What's more, Jin Tong, you won't be naΓ―ve enough to think that if we don't accept this task, this City Lord will let me let us leave the City Lord's Mansion safely?"
Li Chengfeng, who had never said a word, said at this time: "I agree with this Lingshu girl's opinion, this person is really difficult to deal with, and it is not as simple as we see on the surface. β
Before everyone could walk out of the City Lord's Mansion, Wuguang chased after him from behind. brought the two lines of the Sword Twelve to the crowd.
A line reads: Please ask the Lingshu Woman of Emei Mountain, Li Chengfeng Shaoxia of Hidden Sword Villa to lead Wang Ergou Woman and Zihua's niece to the Ruyi Gambling House in Jinlifang City, Furong City, to find news about Yanyutang.
Another line reads: Please Xiao Jin and Fang Chengyu go to the abandoned temple on the outskirts of Furong City to find evidence that Yanyu Hall hijacked the people of Furong City, please be careful.
Everyone looked at the two lines in their hands, and Fang Chengyu said: "Now that we haven't walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, the task has been issued." Now they have to go their separate ways. In fact, Fang Chengyu's heart was already happy at this time, it had been a long time since the Eaves Treasure Hunting Contest ended now, but he had never had the opportunity to mention the bet between the two of them in the inn that day, but he never thought that Sword Twelve had created a good opportunity for him at this time.
Jiang Qiu took Lin Xia's hand and said, "For today's plan, there are only two ways to divide the soldiers." The two of you have a very dangerous trip, and you help each other more. Pay attention to safety.
Li Chengfeng looked at Murong Zihua in a complicated manner and then shouted, "Senior Sister Zihua." β
Murong Zihua may not have been able to accept his identity for a while, so he just nodded lightly and did not speak.
Xiao Jintong complained reluctantly and pointed at Li Chengfeng and said, "Why didn't he go with Fang Chengyu, why did he send me and Fang Chengyu? β
Jiang Qiu said: "Maybe it's for the sake of safety! Li Chengfeng, as a disciple of the inheritance of the Tibetan Sword Villa, has also become famous in the rivers and lakes recently. It's good for everyone to take care of each other. Jintong: Do you think that's the truth?"
"Okay, okay. Then let's separate here! If there is a critical situation, the flying pigeon will send a letter to contact. Xiao Jintong thought about it for a while, and finally reluctantly accepted this decision.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Sword Twelve asked, "It's all arranged, right?"
Wuguang replied, "Yes, it's all arranged." However, the lord of the castle ......"
"Wuguang, don't ask more questions if you shouldn't ask!" Sword Twelve reminded.
So the six of them rushed to their respective missions in front of the city lord's mansion in two ways.
