Chapter 9 Unforeseen Circumstances
Seeing Li Mubai leave, the smile on Yu Qi's face disappeared all of a sudden, and his face was gloomy.
The thing Li Mubai explained was very simple, as long as he sent some people out to spread it, it would be fine. However, this matter has a great impact, once it is discovered that it is spread from him, maybe he will honestly confess that he will save his life, and it is more likely that he will be angered by those big forces, and his life will not be guaranteed.
As for not doing what Li Mubai ordered, the remaining seven didn't dare, maybe Li Mubai was quietly monitoring him in the dark at the moment, once he wanted to escape or tell the news to others to be discovered, he would have to live in fear in the future. Unless he can not be afraid of Li Mubai, he will not dare to act rashly.
"Rather than not having peace in the future, it's better to give it a go, as long as you don't know that I spread it, maybe you can take advantage of the chaos to make some benefits. I can't let too many people know about this, so let Da Hei and Bamboo do it, and I'd better not show up myself!"
Thinking of this, Yu Qi found his two henchmen and quietly explained to the two of them.
......
The next morning, the news of Shangguan Bai's return had spread throughout the entire Qianlong City, and there was a lot of uproar, and people with good intentions were even more moved by the wind, and the undercurrent was turbulent.
Li Mubai sat alone by the window and poured himself a drink, coldly watching those who were arguing because of the news of Shangguan Bai's return.
Some people say that Shangguan Bai came back to take revenge, but anyone with a little brain knows that this is impossible, isn't this an egg to touch on a stone.
There are also speculations that Shangguan Bai came back to retrieve the money hidden by Shangguan's family.
And so on and so forth.
For Li Mubai, the bait has been scattered, and as for what can be drawn, he himself doesn't know, but it is definitely not him who is anxious now, but those who want to get the treasure.
Those who participated in the destruction of the Shangguan family at the beginning must have known that the treasure was not obtained by others, and now they will definitely not be able to sit still when they hear the news.
Just when Li Mubai was drinking a little wine leisurely and watching the ups and downs of Qianlong City in a happy mood, the conversation of a guest at a table next to him caught his attention.
"The news of Shangguan Bai's return is fake!"
Hearing him say this, the other people at the table looked at him together, and one of them asked, "What you said is true?"
"Of course it's true. The man said triumphantly: "You all know that my cousin works in the Yang family, and he told me that Shangguan Bai has died a long time ago." ”
Hearing him say this, the others were even more puzzled, and the person who just asked was puzzled: "What happened to the news that Shangguan Bai came back? And how did Shangguan Bai die? I have never heard of it!"
The man lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I only tell you, don't spread the word!"
The hearts of the others were like cat's paws, and they hurriedly agreed.
Seeing this, the man nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "My cousin said that Shangguan Bai was caught up with and then killed, but those who participated chose to keep it secret, so you must not talk nonsense, otherwise you will be in big trouble." ”
"We know that we won't talk nonsense, so don't worry!" the others agreed.
The man cleared his throat and whispered, "I'll tell you another secret, the housekeeper of the Shangguan family has returned, and someone has seen him." ”
"Really? Isn't that housekeeper with Shangguan Bai? Shangguan Bai was killed, why is he okay?"
The first reaction of the others was not to believe it, after all, the two of them fled together, how could it be impossible for the master to die, and there was only one person left, right?
"Hey, don't believe it, this housekeeper is not an ordinary person, he is a master of the innate realm, although he can't protect Shangguan Bai, but there is no problem with escaping by himself, I heard that he came back this time to take revenge, and Lei Zhenyu of the Lei family was captured by him!"
This person's speech is still quite reasonable, if it weren't for Li Mubai's memory of Shangguan Bai, he would almost believe it.
"Then why did you arrest Lei Zhenyu?"
The ones mentioned earlier, everyone thinks there is no problem, but shouldn't revenge be found in the Yang family?
The man explained: "Of course, it is a persimmon picking soft pinch! Although the Lei family did not kill the people of the Shangguan family, it accounted for a large part of the Shangguan family's industry, and it is not surprising that Steward Zhang is troublesome to the Lei family. ”
"I see!" the others realized.
......
"Who is spreading the news? Looks like they want to muddy the waters even more!"
What happened to Shangguan Bai, no one knows better than Li Mubai, and naturally knows that what the person said seems reasonable, but in fact, it is all made up.
"However, is it true or fake that Uncle Zhang is back?"
Seeing that the person at the table had finished settling the account and left Qiushui Pavilion, Li Mubai followed unhurriedly and got up.
A group of people separated at the door, Li Mubai identified the person who spread the news, and quietly followed, seemingly lounging, but in fact, he was always paying attention to the person's every move.
The man was like an ordinary person, stopping and stopping all the way, looking here, looking there, and sometimes buying something to eat.
Li Mubai was not in a hurry, he followed cautiously, keeping a considerable distance, so that he would not easily appear in that person's field of vision.
followed the man left and right, passed through several streets, the man suddenly entered a small alley, Li Mubai quickly followed, and also entered the alley, but there was no trace of the person.
"Running so fast!"
Li Mubai didn't care about hiding it, he carried light power through the alley quickly, and as soon as he got out of the alley, a strong wind hit from the side, and Li Mubai instinctively dodged the punch.
"Careless!"
Thinking in his heart, but the action did not stop, Li Mubai swept the hall, forced the man to retreat, quickly straightened up, slapped out a straight palm, and hit the door straight at the person's face.
The man was not afraid at all, and his fists and palms collided together, but he immediately felt a huge force attack, and his body retreated uncontrollably.
"The idea is prickly, or withdraw quickly. ”
The man scolded secretly in his heart, he thought it was a small character, but he didn't expect it to be a very powerful character in martial arts, and he couldn't help but retreat.
Following the force of retreat, the man kicked the ground, jumped onto the roof behind him, and turned to flee.
But as soon as he ran a distance, he heard a sound of breaking the air coming from behind him, and he hurriedly rolled to the side, landed in an alley, and continued to run forward without looking back.
Li Mubai didn't expect this person to be so agile, and he no longer used other means to chase after him.
Li Mubai's light skills are not outstanding, but after all, his cultivation is higher than that person, and the distance is slowly narrowing.
Feeling this, the man was already anxious in his heart, and shouted loudly: "I have no grievances with Your Excellency, why are you chasing after me?"
