Chapter 23 Reunion
"You said someone wants to plot against Shenjitang's industry? This... how is this possible?"
"What's impossible? Even the country can be transformed and usurped, let alone a small gang of gangs."
"Shenjitang has been at its peak these years. It is no longer a great gang in the world. Who can easily and skillfully make it? "
"Shenjitang is a business way of business. Although it develops rapidly, there is no gathering of people's will, and there is no real foundation. To put it simply, find a reason to kill a group of people who are leading. If the leader is replaced, the business of those people below is still the same? Those people ignored them before, and even helped them openly and secretly, but they just raised them as a fat pig that can be killed at any time. Although Shenjitang also understands this, not only has he spent a lot of effort to win over the major forces in the world over the years, but also tried his best to rely on the court.
But compared with the forces and means of the opponent who was trying to attack him, these are just as ridiculous as a child dancing with a knife and gun. However, before, Shenjitang seemed to have some communication with Yongzhou, and offered millions of taels of silver to the General's Mansion every year. Even if the General's Mansion didn't say anything, it made those people dare not act rashly. However, recently, there was news that all the branches of Shenjitang in Yongzhou were seized, and all their hands were expelled from Yongzhou and were not allowed to enter. Those people had no scruples, and by the way, the pig was raised enough, so they were ready to take action."
"Who are those people...? Are you talking about... the Hongyan Pavilion, the master's school in Shui Yuzhu? But doesn't Hongyan Pavilion only operate brothel business? They have the ability to do what you said?"
"...It's not the Hongyan Pavilion, it's the Hongyan Qingyu Tower. The Hongyan Pavilion and the Qingyu Tower are one. But it's not them who really want to take action. They were just pawns of others. I don't need to say what is behind the Hongyan Pavilion and the Qingyu Tower."
“……what is behind them?”
“…You really don’t know?”
"...I really don't know...Why do you seem to know everything?"
"...Why do you really don't know anything? Are you really from the Nangong family? Are you really He Jinzhi's daughter?"
He Sier felt very frustrated, and she was afraid to talk to Tang Qingxiao anymore, especially the expression when Tang Qingxiao asked her, as if she saw a pig with a tiger head, rabbit feet and a horse tail.
Fortunately, there are always other things to do in the past few days. After she and Tang Qingxiao returned to Tianyang City, the people from Shenjitang had come to the door several times. Tang Qingxiao had already reported to her house, and He Si'er had been investigating the Master Wei Se long ago. Later, she lurked into the Hongyan Pavilion through her relationship and pretended to be a brothel woman. She was also intimidated by others. She wanted to cover up and seemed guilty, so they admitted directly and honestly. Yes, they were the ones who made the mess of Master Wei Se's villa that day.
Of course, they just went to investigate whether Master Wei was controlled by the ghost curse based on some clues. It should be noted that the Mitian Ghost Curse is the most vicious demonic martial arts in the world. If the real murderer behind the scenes is not found, not only will the world be peaceful. First of all, the unlucky one might be Shenjitang himself. As for the death of Wei Se, the head of Jiguantang, it was all the responsibility of the Five Ghosts of Tianhe who had been lurking beside Wei. The Five Ghosts of Tianhe are the evil evil men of Tianhe who were notorious. The evil deeds of the early years of killing their masters was prematurely dependent on the five ghosts of Tianhe.
It is well known to everyone in the world. Later, three of the ghosts were given heads under the command of Fairy He of Maoshan, and the remaining Tianhe ghosts and the hind-claw ghosts disappeared. But they knew that in the past two years, these two people had been secretly lurking among the masters of the martial arts masters hired by Shenjitang. They secretly prepared to kidnap the head of the mechanical hall to blackmail a large sum of silver in Shenjitang, but they happened to meet Fairy He and Tang Si Shao lurking in. After a fierce battle, the fourth brother was killed. The eldest brother Tianhe ghost escaped seriously, but when he escaped, he still took action to kill Wei.
"Is this really OK? Will they really believe it? What if the Tianhe Ghost is arrested in the future and the facts are not the case?" He Sier was a little worried. This set of words was said by Tang Qingxiao. According to this, not only did they not need to be responsible for the death of the leader Wei, but Shenjitang also had to thank them.
"It only takes a reason to live on the scene. It doesn't matter whether they believe it or not. What if we deliberately kill that fat pig? Is it true that they dare to argue with the Maoshan Sect and the Tang family when they are in danger of self-rescue? So what if the Tianhe Ghost is caught? Who will the people in the martial arts world believe in the words of a bad guy who kills a master or fairy He in Maoshan? Not to mention that the fat pig itself is a puppet of the ghost curse."
Tang Qingxia casually didn't take this matter seriously, as if it would be more troublesome to deal with it than drinking water and eating. Now he was concentrating on doing something else.
When he first arrived in Tianyang City, he disappeared for a few days, saying that he was going to ask some people for some things, and then the Fireworks Feixue Tower had something to do for two days. After he came back, he didn't say what to do, and He Si'er didn't dare to ask casually. Now they were in a house in Nangong's house in Tianyang City with Nangong, waiting for Xiaoxia and Mingyue who came here from Qingzhou.
Tang Qingxiao had already taken off the posing women's clothing and returned to a handsome and feminine boy. Her slender figure and small and deep facial features made him look a few years younger than his actual age. However, his whole body exuded the gloomy taciturn that seemed unique to the Tang family, which made He Sier always feel that the singer holding the guzheng in his hand was much more pleasing to the eyes.
Although Tang Qingxia didn't say anything, his daily activities were very regular, except for eating, sleeping and practicing qigong, he was stunned by the strange big knife, but He Sier still felt that the cold boy was waiting for the person he was waiting for. He didn't take anything seriously and even care about anything else. Whether it was Shenjitang's inquiry or his own advice, he did not deal with it at all, but he didn't really care about it from the bottom of his bones.
Even the matter of his promise to join his righteous alliance was just because this matter required an excuse.
Realizing this, He Sier's already depressed mood became even more depressed, and she also felt resentful towards someone. She was curious and competitive.
In addition, there is another person who is like this. On the surface, he is calm and quiet, but in secret he is distracted. Fortunately, this person is just thinking about a woman, so that He Sier can understand a little bit.
"Miss Mingyue and Taoist Qingfeng should be fine? Since the true body of Taoist Snake is not in this Shenji Hall, will it be where they are following? Will they be in danger?"
"...Don't they all use the channels we arranged to send the news back?"
"Well... But if they were hit by the ghost curse of the Snake Taoist and were controlled without knowing it, they would also send us news. Although Miss Mingyue's cultivation is of high level, I see that Taoist Qingfeng has some fleshy feet. What I fear most is that he drags Miss Mingyue's hind legs..."
"No. Qingfeng Taoist Chancellor has a deep experience in the world and is always organic. I don't think he is dragging the girl Mingyue's back. Maybe he is taking care of the girl Mingyue all the way. They have fought with the Taoist Snake before, and this time they are even more prepared. I think even if they really meet the Taoist Snake, they will definitely be sure to get out of it."
"Oh...so... since my cousin is so confident in Master Qingfeng, it must be reasonable... By the way, I asked by the way, just ask casually, don't care. Master Qingfeng, you have known him for many years, and I wonder what kind of character do you think of him? What I mean is... Yes... He and Miss Mingyue are alone and widowed. Although they are all monks, they are young after all. Although Miss Mingyue is pure and innocent, they are clear and clear, but after all this..."
".....Don't ask me about this question. When they come, you can ask them yourself."
"Haha, it's just a momentary dream that I've been free these two days. What a pity, I just asked casually. Cousin, don't take it to heart...Hahaha."
###
Xiao Xia was not surprised that the Nangong family had another luxury house in Tianyang City that was not inferior to Jingzhou. As the richest and most backer among the three major families in the world, it was really nothing to prepare courtyard houses in each state. It seems that the biggest advantage of following Fairy He is that he doesn’t have to worry about the materials of talismans for the time being. He has always had to calculate the cost in his mind. He can get away forever.
But when Xiao Xia walked into the inner house under the guidance of the servants and saw Tang Qingxia standing beside He Sier, she was truly shocked.
"Why, didn't you expect me to be here?"
Tang Qingxiao smiled softly, with a sharp smile. He smiled very lightly, but it attracted He Sier beside him to look at him because it was the first time she saw this somewhat gloomy boy smile.
"I really didn't expect..." Xiao Xia admitted. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Being able to stand here and laugh like this means that the hurdle in the boy's heart has been overcome. Whether it is because he is some of his friend or because he is Brother Tang's brother, this is always gratifying.
"Huh?" Mingyue also looked at Tang Qingxiao with her big eyes and nodded for sure. "This person is no longer a bad person."
"Haha, Miss Mingyue always speaks so funny. How could this brother Tang Qingxiao be a bad guy?" Nangong Tong walked in from outside the door gracefully. He was wearing a brocade robe, his handsome face was full of charming smiles, and even the complexion of his face felt very comfortable. The moist white and red inside was so bright that it made people feel comfortable. No matter where he put it, he was a handsome man who had to look at him. Unfortunately, only Xiao Xia politely bowed to him; bowed his hand, and the others didn't even scan the light of his eyes.
"Isn't this knife... the fourth brother's? But I remember it seemed to fall into the magma of the core..." Xiao Xia saw the knife behind Tang Qingxiao. The wide and heavy blade body seemed a little inconsistent with his thin body. It seemed that the blade body weighed half of his weight.
"Now I am the head of the fourth room of Tangjiabao, the inner disciple of the fourth room, I am Tang Si." Tang Qingxiao said lightly in his somewhat feminine, undistinguishable voice, every word and every tone was profound and heavier and certainty. A pair of sword-like phoenix eyes burned deep in the depths of the phoenix eyes that could melt human souls. "My brother sent it back, my brother was not dead, my brother was in this knife. He was looking at me all the time."
"I want to find out the snake Taoist who uses the ghost curse to control everything behind his back, cut off his head, so that he will never be able to use that disgusting trick to harm others and avenge my brother. This is also the only way I can make up for my mistakes before. Since you are looking for him now, let's join forces, just like six years ago."
Facing the flames deep in Tang Qingxia's eyes, he could almost feel the gaze burning on his face. The burning heat on his body, Xiao Xia felt a sense of uneasiness like a ray of light on his back. This was the first time he was seen with such eyes in his life, and he was still a man, which really made him feel extremely uncomfortable. But he couldn't say that this matter was not possible.
"Well! Can you talk about the serious matter first?"
Fortunately, He Sier stepped between the two of them in one step, glanced at them with a very strange and unceremonious look, and coughed: "Master Qingfeng, you said you did not track down the true body of the Snake Taoist this time, but it was still a den of the Snake Taoist. Have you searched carefully? But have you found anything?"
Xiao Xia was relieved and hurriedly said, "It was just a place for one of the subordinates of Taoist Snake. We secretly chased Bai Ziming and were accidentally discovered. The man fought with us with a mechanical beast and several puppets controlled by the ghost curse, and was killed by us. In the cellar, the leader of the treasure hunting alliance, Huangshan Sword Immortal Shi Taoist, who had been missing in the treasure hunting alliance. It turned out that he was caught by the Taoist Snake. The subordinates of Taoist Snake were tortured and confessed to him, trying to find out the secret of the pair of flying swords. Unfortunately, Taoist Snake had planted the ghost curse on him and his subordinates. I don't know if it was because we killed the subordinate. Taoist Snake had noticed it. The ghost curse on Taoist Snake's body suddenly broke out. It was too late to rescue him, and I could only see him die."
"Oh. So it turns out that Huangshan Sword Immortal fell into the hands of the Snake Taoist? His pair of flying swords is indeed a rare treasure in the world. If it really fell into the hands of the Snake Taoist......"
"When we rushed there, Taoist Shi was being tortured. It seemed that Taoist Snake did not succeed."
"Oh, that's good... Are there any clues found?"
"We carefully checked the man's local house and found no clues. The snake Taoist obviously knew that he had become the target of public criticism and acted carefully. Most of his subordinates used ghost curse and left no clues."
He Sier frowned and showed regret, and asked casually: "Has I really found nothing?"
Xiao Xia raised her hand and scratched her head. When she glanced at the faint scar on her palm, she hesitated for a moment, but she still replied: "This... I found nothing else..."
Over there, Mingyue was picking up the oranges on the table and peeling them and eating them. It was a large plate of fruits and melons that Nangong Tong knew that Mingyue loved to eat fruits and specially ordered people to prepare to pick them from the mountains of Yunzhou. It was just that the manpower and carriage skills were added. The price of this fruit was definitely several times more than the same weight of silver.
However, it also has high value. Yunzhou is located at the southern end of Jiuzhou. It is also as warm as spring in the middle of winter. These fruits have been specially selected and are all juicy and delicious. Mingyue bites it and is indeed surprised and happy, and she said loudly: "This fruit is delicious, what is it? I have never eaten it before."
Nangong Tong smiled slightly and said, "Oh, it turns out that Miss Mingyue loves to eat these fruits. This is Yunzhou Leshui Orange, and it is not a rare thing. If Miss Mingyue likes it, I will just ask someone to send it to you..."
"It's really delicious, Taoist Xia, please try it." Mingyue turned around and stuffed the half of the orange that he had left with juice into Xiao Xia's mouth.
