Chapter 68: Unprovoked Assassination
After the beginning of spring, the release day of all the cultivation sects in Changling had long ended, and a young man wearing a red robe with a white fox collar fluttered across the high wall of a certain practice place in Changling, but he sneaked out.
A light cough sounded not far away.
The figure of the young man wearing a red robe with a white fox collar suddenly stiffened, and his face did not have the fear of ordinary sect disciples when they were found out, but there was a look of annoyance and anger.
At this moment, a soft voice sounded: "Cousin, what my aunt said is really good, you really don't work hard in your cultivation on weekdays." ”
Hearing this, the young man's anger suddenly disappeared, and his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.
He turned around and said to the man who spoke out in disbelief, "Cousin, why are you here?"
Standing not far away was also a young man who was about the same age as him, even with a teasing smile on his face, he still looked extraordinarily generous and gentle, and he was the prince Fusu, who was most favored by the empress and emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Empress Zheng Sleeve of Great Qin has only one cousin, Zheng Feiye, who married in Menghou Mansion, and at this moment, this young man wearing a red robe with a white fox collar calls Fusu his cousin, and he is naturally Meng Qihai, the son of Menghou Mansion.
Looking at Meng Qihai, who was very surprised, Fu Suxian was also happy, pursed his lips and smiled: "The queen mother allowed me to walk outside and practice, I am not familiar with this outside, so I was the first to think of looking for you, I heard that you are a restless student of Yuyang Sword Academy, and you often run out over the wall, I want to come to this high wall to see, imagine your demeanor when you jumped over the wall, I didn't expect you to jump directly in front of me like this, what do you think." ”
Although Meng Qihai and Fusu don't have many opportunities to meet in a year, the two have played together since childhood, and Fusu has an easy-going temperament, many times it is due to his temperament, even if a child has a dispute when he plays, he will let him, so he and Fusu are naturally very close, and they only call Fusu's cousin on weekdays. At this time, under the joy, he jumped directly in front of Fusu, held Fusu's hands, and said, "Cousin, you came just in time, I really have something to think." ”
Fusu was slightly stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
Meng Qihai said happily: "Cousin, you are the fastest cultivator among all the young talents in Changling, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with those people on the talent list, you are here just in time, help me teach me a lesson." ”
Fusu looked at him curiously and asked, "Who to teach, what's going on?"
"It's the young man in the Aries Cave wine shop who was in the limelight the most a few days ago. ”
Meng Qihai pursed his lips and said: "Some time ago, Zeng Ting'an and I heard a news that was extremely unfavorable to him, and when we were kind, we went to him, thinking that if he was good, I would tell him the news as it was, but Zeng Ting'an challenged him, but he shirked and did not accept it, and let his senior brother Zhang Yi respond to the battle. Although even his senior brother Zhang Yi defeated Zeng Ting'an, it seems that the young man in the wine shop does seem to be more powerful than his senior brother Zhang Yi, but I don't like that kind of behavior. ”
Fusu was stunned, frowned slightly, and persuaded: "If there is any news that is unfavorable to people, first tell him directly, and challenge him first, see how he behaves, this is not a gentleman's style." ”
Meng Qihai looked at Fusu helplessly, and said: "I'm not a gentleman, and I don't accept fair challenges, that person doesn't even have a sense of shame, let alone a gentleman, cousin, you didn't promise to help me, and you actually said me in turn." ”
Fu Su smiled slightly, he didn't want him to say these words, but said softly: "I also want to participate in the Minshan Sword Meeting." ”
Meng Qihai was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "How is this possible." ”
Fu Su smiled happily and said softly: "The queen mother is approved." ”
Meng Qihai came back to his senses at this time, and his whole body trembled lightly with excitement: "It's good now, how can those people be your opponents." ”
Fusu shook his head seriously, "That's not necessarily, cultivation and victory are not the same thing." ”
Meng Qihai thought for a while, and said with a wicked smile: "Then you want to help me teach that wine shop boy a lesson, compared to those people who are at the top of the list, what you lack is just some experience in fighting the enemy, cousin." ”
"I still can't forget this so-called outburst. Fu Su glanced at him gently, and said curiously: "I have also paid a lot attention to the matter of that wine shop boy, you said that you heard a news that was extremely unfavorable to him, what kind of news is it?"
Meng Qihai said: "I heard that the Li family is going to deal with him. ”
Fusu's brows furrowed: "Lihou Mansion?
Meng Qihai shrugged his shoulders and said, "Isn't there a grudge between the Lihou Mansion and the Sikong Lian of the Lisi? Sikong Lian seems to have given a heavy gift to this wine shop boy, and the Lihou Mansion thinks that Sikong Lian wants to support him to win the Minshan Sword Society, so he has to deal with him." ”
Fusu was so unhappy in his heart, thinking that it was no wonder that the queen mother had always disliked Lihou Mansion the most. Many times, the Lihou Mansion is always in contention, and the minions are too hideous.
"Isn't it very innocent that this wine shop boy is involved in such a grievance for no reason?"
Fu Su thought for a while and asked, "The Minshan Sword Sect won't let people interfere in the competition, does the Lihou Mansion want to deal with him before the Minshan Sword Meeting?"
Meng Qihai nodded: "According to the news I heard, the Lihou Mansion has already ordered Li Xixing to rush back. ”
"Li Xixing is a wolf cub, when we were young, a group of us didn't like to play with him, but I remember clearly, he broke Duanmu Jingzong's two ribs because of a trivial matter, so Li Hou Mansion had no choice but to send him to the Yue Clan. Meng Qihai sneered and said: "He has been in the Yue Clan Country for so many years and has eaten so much wind and sand, he must not have a good temper, Wutongluo is not Duanmu Hou Mansion, he wants to make a move, it will not be as simple as breaking two ribs." ”
Fusu's brows furrowed deeply.
As early as Ding Ning's half-day Xuanxuan, when he broke through the realm in January, he had a strong curiosity about this wine shop boy, although he listened to some lessons from the queen and the teacher, and knew that he really shouldn't pay attention to these low-level cultivators, but after the announcement of the talent book, Ding Ning's appearance still attracted his attention.
When he left the palace this time, he didn't have any thoughts about Ding Ning, but he didn't expect to hear such a thing.
"This is not about the young man in the wine shop, and an outstanding cultivator like him is a precious treasure of my Great Qin Dynasty in itself. He involuntarily said softly in the same tone as the queen spoke.
Meng Qihai heard what he meant, pursed his lips, and said, "Cousin, if you don't help me teach him a lesson, do you still want to take care of this matter and help him?"
Fu Su glanced at him and asked rhetorically: "If Li Xixing's temperament really hasn't changed for so many years, and he went to the chaotic land of the Yue Clan, which has become even worse, who do you say you hate more than this wine shop boy?"
Meng Qihai was stunned, and said to himself: "If these two people are compared, of course it is Li Xixing." ”
Fusu looked at him and smiled slightly.
Meng Qihai cried out a little depressedly, "Cousin, when it comes to reasoning, I always can't talk about you." ”
Fu Su smiled, but immediately said with a straight face: "If someone else is present, you remember not to call me cousin, otherwise others may find out my identity at once." I don't want to get in a lot of trouble. ”
Meng Qihai suddenly felt that this was indeed a very important matter, so he immediately nodded and said, "I remember." ”
Fusu smiled and said, "Then you will take me to see the wine shop?"
Meng Qihai was also anxious, nodded immediately, and said, "It's okay, save Li Xixing just right." ”
......
......
The Sycamore Falls does not seem to be any different from what it is on a normal day.
In the morning, when families get up to wash and have breakfast, it is the most lively time for Wutongluo, and after this time, Wutongluo quickly becomes clean.
There are few pedestrians in the streets and alleys, and there are few customers in ordinary shops, so business can barely make ends meet.
However, the eldest grandson Qianxue was the first to feel abnormal.
Thinking of the possibilities that Ding Ning said, her body quickly became cold.
But perceiving the cultivation of those people, she slowly relaxed.
These people should not have come for the Nine Nether King Sword at least, because the difference in strength was too far to keep her and Ding Ning.
She called twice, and when Ding Ning walked into the backyard, she said a few words coldly, telling Ding Ning what she perceived.
There were quite a few cultivators who appeared near the Sycamore Fall, and they weren't cultivators strong enough to retain the cultivators of the Seven Realms?
Ding Ning's brows furrowed deeply, and he couldn't think of any reason at all.
Walking out of the wine shop door again and walking towards the small courtyard where Xue Wangxu was, the countless "little silkworms" in his body slowly moved silently as if they were recovering from hibernation.
His perception was instantly clearer than ever.
He sensed the location of some of these practitioners.
Then he soon realized that many cultivators were moving with the two cultivators, and the two cultivators who fell towards the sycamore were the center of the encirclement formed by those cultivators.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He vaguely saw a strange reflection between the eaves not far away.
It was a cold reflection from a metal coated with a lot of lubricating mineral oil.
This kind of reflection basically only appears on some repeaters and crossbow machines.
So... It was an assassination.
