Volume 1 Miao Di Wind Thunder Chapter 55 The Murderer Behind the Scenes
Mo Cui is still practicing, and Han Xuesi is still leading the new disciples to cultivate their divine sense.
The old peak of the year ago was unusually calm, and the seedlings did not make waves again.
On the morning of the New Year's Day, the Lord of the Ageless Peak, Mo Di, went out of the customs.
At noon, two groups of people met unexpectedly at the three-way intersection not far from the east gate of Konghou City, and then a confrontation occurred.
The three forks are not far to the west is the east gate of Konghou City, to the east is the official road to enter the Shu land, and to the south you can enter the boundary of the Bulao Peak along the lakeside road. It's really just a small road, not to mention that it can't be compared with the main street of Konghou City, which can be paralleled by eight troikas, and even the dirt road on the north bank of Panxi that stretches far to the east is twice as wide.
For many, many years, the inconspicuous path by the lake has rarely been set foot by outsiders, and even the deacon disciples of Bulao Peak who are responsible for purchasing from Konghou City have only gone out of the mountain once a month, taking advantage of the moonlight to enter Konghou City in an ox cart, and then returning with a full load of stars.
In the past two months, many people have walked back and forth on the path, first several masters of the Holy Domain led Han Xuesi to enter the Immortal Peak to propose marriage, and soon after the marriage, Han Xuesi brought a large group of Immortal Peak disciples to Konghou City, and then thousands of cultivators in the city escorted them back to the Miao Land under the leadership of the swordsman Zhou Shixin, and then Wu Yiji and Cui Qi came out of the Miao Land with a large group of people.
After Han Xuesi came, the Immortal Peak was much more lively than before, and the entire Miao Land was lively.
It's just that many people don't want to see this kind of excitement, and many people are distressed.
A group of people came out of Konghou City, and another group of people went west from the official road, and happened to meet at the three-way crossing.
There were twenty-one people who came out of Konghou City, and at the front was an old man with a gray beard, holding an iron scale of human height in his hand, and the twenty people behind him each carried a burden on their shoulders.
From the official road from west to east is a large group of people, a middle-aged man wearing the official uniform of Dongwu rode in the front, behind a dozen horses sat people in different costumes, there were men and women, there were young people and old people, and then behind were two beautiful horses, the tall horses pulling the carts were obviously not ordinary breeds, and then there were more than a dozen flatbed carts with horses, stacked with boxes of different sizes, and finally there were hundreds of burly soldiers in armor and spears.
Hundreds of sergeants accompanied the escort, only the big man is worthy of such a battle, judging from the complement in front of the official uniform, the middle-aged man who rode the horse in front of him is already a big man, so which big man in Soochow will be sitting in the carriage?
The twenty-one people who came out of Konghou City are like a caravan, if an ordinary caravan sees such a big battle, they will definitely choose to make their debut, and they will avoid it, how can they still think about fighting for it?
The people do not fight with the officials, this is the truth of the ages, and even the great sects with extremely deep roots do not want to be enemies of the imperial court.
They didn't choose to give way, and the old man who walked in front had an indifferent face, glanced at the middle-aged man on the horse with deep meaning, and then took a step to the south.
The middle-aged official was notoriously talkative, but he also frowned and looked displeased.
A young man behind him said in a cold voice: "Old thing, I'm blind, my lord went to Miaodi on an errand this time to do business, but he was ordered by the emperor to make his debut?"
The expression on the old man's face did not change in the slightest, and he could not see the anger, and walked south on his own, and the person carrying the burden behind him quickly followed.
I saw that the young man who had spoken insultingly just now covered his mouth, his expression was extremely painful, and blood flowed from his fingers.
The middle-aged official turned his head to look at him, and said with an unkind face: "Where is your part in speaking, this time I have been taught a lesson, and I can make you remember a little longer." ”
The people on the horse are all masters recruited by the Floating Shadow Guard, just now a few people were ready to make a move, and after feeling the powerful aura of the old man, they still gave up, and the young man secretly released the true yuan to make a move, but the old man used his magic power to hurt him.
The middle-aged official turned over and dismounted, walked to the side of the carriage in front, saluted respectfully, and said, "Master, it's the dart team of the gold and silver trading house." ”
The gold and silver trading house has a dart team, composed of twenty-one people, who are very famous in the human realm, have been to many places, and even set foot in the demon domain snow field, as long as the dart has never gone wrong.
The big man in the carriage obviously heard about the dart team, and he didn't get angry, and said with a smile: "Then it's no wonder, it's okay, let them go first." ”
......
There are a few new disciples who have already succeeded in concentrating, Han Xuesi praised them, and asked the rest of the disciples who did not have a new acquaintance to hurry up and work hard, not to be thrown too far by them, and was proudly saying that he had first met the interesting story of the meeting, when a deacon disciple walked to the study house and told him that a guest had come, and the peak master asked him to come over to receive him.
Han Xuesi thought that Xie Sansheng had come over with some news, so he didn't think much about it, and asked the deacon disciples to go back first, and then blow it with the new disciples before going down the mountain.
As soon as he reached the mountain gate, he saw the dart team, and then saw the group of men and horses heading east.
The people of the dart team respectfully saluted Han Xuesi, and at the same time called out to the ninth prince.
Han Xuesi waved his hand and said with a smile: "What rare object did Mr. Huang send to my son?"
Holding the iron scale, the old man smiled and said, "This time it was not the sixth master's idea, it was the old lady who asked the ninth prince to send the year of the ninth master." ”
The Han family has lived in Qiyun City for thousands of years, and they will distribute annual rules to each house every year.
Han Xuesi has already gotten married, so naturally he has a corresponding share of the year, but he didn't expect his family to send someone to send him over, and he felt warm in his heart.
He smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, it's better to rest here for one night, and it's not too late to travel tomorrow." ”
The old man surnamed Huang said: "Don't bother, I also took a dart from Nanzhao, I can't delay, take care of the ninth prince." ”
Han Xuesi arched his hand and said to everyone: "Take care, don't send it." ”
After everyone left, he asked the deacon disciples to bring the things back to the storeroom, and then prepared to go back and continue to brag with the new disciples.
As soon as he walked a few steps, he was stopped by Lin Huaixian.
"Ninth Prince, I heard that the old yellow head sent a lot of rare things, can you let the old man open his eyes?"
Han Xuesi didn't have such eyes and smiled: "This is the year of this son, you also want to make up your mind, but there is no door." ”
Lin Huaixian said: "Don't be so stingy with the ninth prince. ”
Han Xuesi walked over and put his arm around the shoulders of the twelfth senior brother and said: "After my son got married, he was much less timid, and he didn't dare to make decisions about big and small things, there was a tigress at home, and he had to listen to her in everything." ”
Mo Di happened to come over, heard the conversation between the two, coughed awkwardly, and then said: "Xiao Han, the fifth day of the new year is the peach picking meeting, and you and the kite will have to go over at that time, as for whether to make a move, you can decide for yourself." ”
Han Xuesi nodded and said with a smile: "Got it." ”
Mo Di said again: "This time, someone from the Dongwu Imperial Court came to watch the ceremony, so be careful. ”
Han Xuesi nodded and watched Mo Di leave.
After Mo Di walked away, Lin Huaixian lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Jiu, your old man is not simple. ”
Han Xuesiqi said: "How do you say it?"
Lin Huaixian looked around, and only after making sure that there was no one did he say, "Do you remember those cases?"
Han Xuesi nodded, those cases were spread in Miaodi, and there were many versions, and he still didn't know who was behind the scenes, and it didn't take long, he would naturally remember.
Lin Huaixian said: "The old man is sure that those cases were done by your father-in-law. ”
Han Xuesi squinted his eyes and said, "Is he that powerful?"
Lin Huaixian said: "The old guy's ability to hide is very powerful, his ability is not under the old man, but it is hidden deep enough, in the few nights of the crime, I noticed it every time he went out, but it was on other people's territory, and we were not good at following it." ”
Han Xuesi frowned and said, "Why did it take so long to say it?"
Lin Huaixian said lightly: "I was busy drinking, I forgot." ”
