Chapter 70 A gunshot, the second beauty in the world
"Master, why are there two of us?"
"That woman looks familiar. She seems to be Qin Mengchi, who is second on the beauty list?"
"I'll go, it's really her. Master, do you want to capture her alive?"
"Hey hey hey..."
Dianyi kept chattering, so Fang Jue grabbed him. The pain made Dianyi grimace and he didn't dare to talk anymore.
"These two are like desperate mandarin ducks... In that case, let's give them a ride."
Fang Jue silently set up the fire sticks, raised his gun, and aimed at the falling Qin Mengchi.
"She is indeed a beauty." Fang Jue felt a trace of unbearability in his heart. It was a pity that such a beauty died like this.
So he raised the muzzle of his gun and pointed it at Bai Qing, who was falling. Mo Yuan was less than five floors behind him.
It is unable to react quickly when falling. As long as the preview is accurate enough, a master like Bai Qing will not be able to use force in the air.
After all, martial arts also requires physics.
"boom--"
There was a gunshot, and Bai Qing, who was falling, saw that he was five or six floors away from landing, but suddenly he fell onto the cornice of the sixth floor as if struck by lightning.
"Bai Qing!" Qin Mengchi had already landed. When she looked up, she saw Bai Qing falling, and her eyes suddenly sparkled.
But when she heard the calls of the imperial guards around her, she didn't dare to stay and had to flee.
"Who!" Bai Qing shouted angrily. No one could be seen on the left or right.
He felt as if half of his body was paralyzed, completely paralyzed and unable to exert any force.
In addition, the sudden fall caused some damage to my back, making me unable to move.
A black shadow fell, and Mo Yuan stood in front of Bai Qing with a cold face.
"Mo Yuan, you are the best in the world, but you still attack me unexpectedly, you are shameless!" Bai Qing complained loudly, Mo Yuan did not follow martial ethics.
But no matter what, he knew he couldn't run away, so he might as well vent his anger by swearing.
"Sneak attack?" Mo Yuan pointed his sword at Bai Qing, "If you hit an arrow, you'll hit it. It's just a matter of poor martial arts. When did I sneak attack you?"
He also thought that Bai Qing's wound was pierced by a crossbow arrow.
But soon, Mo Yuan realized something was wrong because he smelled a strange smell and the smell of burnt flesh.
All originated from Bai Qing.
"If you still don't admit the sneak attack, Mo Yuan, you don't deserve to be on the list!" Bai Qing cursed.
Mo Yuan glanced at him coldly, kicked the dagger out of Bai Qing's hand, then grabbed his arm and jumped down from the sixth floor with Bai Qing.
After falling heavily to the ground, Mo Yuan managed to avoid being injured. After throwing Bai Qing to the nearby imperial guards, he chased towards Qin Mengchi.
Not even two steps after him, he turned a corner and saw Qin Mengchi being knocked back and falling to the ground, gritting his teeth and staring at the person around the corner.
Mo Yuan chased after him and saw Ye Hongyi who was sheathing her sword.
"Master Ye, you are so clean and tidy." Mo Yuan smiled, waved his hand, and motioned to the Imperial Army on one side to kidnap Qin Mengchi.
Ye Hongyi: "Hold on... Commander Mo, this is the one our Xuanjian Division has captured alive."
Completely different from when she was in Fangjiazhuang, Ye Hongyi had a serious face and a non-negotiable attitude, which made her particularly charming.
"What does the Xuanjian Division want her to do?" Mo Yuan frowned.
The Imperial Guards on the side did not dare to move, and the two stewards did not have an agreement, so they did not dare to deal with it.
Ye Hongyi said jokingly: "Commander Mo has already taken Bai Qing, so what do you want a woman for? Is it because you are interested in her ranking on the beauty list and want to capture her and watch her every day?"
Mo Yuan: "Ye Hongyi, you can't say that. There are many women in the martial arts masters in our prison. Do you mean that I have ulterior motives in arresting them?"
Ye Hongyi was noncommittal, but her attitude was firm: "Commander Mo, your imperial army captured Bai Qing, which is considered a first achievement. You can't not give the Xuanjian Division any soup, right?"
"Hmph... I know how to steal credit. You Xuanjian Division are really quick-sighted in this kind of thing!" Deputy Commander Lu Xin finally chased him out and said when he saw this scene.
Ye Hongyi narrowed her eyes and glanced at the deputy commander rudely.
"Forget it, she was the one who took it originally, let her forget it." Mo Yuan didn't want to have a quarrel with the Xuanjian Division, not to mention Ye Hongyi was right, the first prize was already his.
If you eat alone, you will be punished.
"Let's go, Miss Qin, I'll take you to the Xuanjian Division." Ye Hongyi walked over with a smile, and the people from the Xuanjian Division behind him finally arrived and tied up Qin Mengchi.
"Are you Ye Hongyi from the Xuanjian Division?"
Qin Mengchi smiled: "The third most beautiful woman in the world, how are you?"
She wanted to stimulate Ye Hongyi and die quickly, so as not to be humiliated after entering the Hanging Sword Division.
The second most beautiful woman in the world, how many people want to kiss Fangze? Even in the Palace of Overlord of Western Chu, she cannot feel at ease.
A good reputation is the worst outcome for a woman if she does not have the ability to protect herself.
"The second most beautiful woman in the world, Qin Mengchi."
Ye Hongyi looked at this woman, and then nodded: "You are prettier than me, and have a great figure, but your martial arts skills are too poor... Do you think I will be like those women, jealous of your beauty and destroy you or...
If I kill you, then you will underestimate me, Ye Hongyi."
"take away!"
Ye Hongyi ordered: "Give her a private room, I don't want to hear any bad rumors."
"Yes, yes..." The soldiers of the Xuanjian Division quickly slipped their hands from Qin Mengchi's shoulders, and just grabbed her arm and led her away.
Some small thoughts also came to an abrupt end.
In a place like Hanging Sword Division, some things can be done secretly as long as they are not prohibited.
But once someone above makes a statement and you still commit the crime, your crime will be increased.
Beauty is great, but the price of life is higher.
"Thank you." Qin Mengchi, who originally wanted to die quickly, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
No one wants to die if they can live a good life.
Qin Mengchi and Bai Qing were sent away respectively, but Mo Yuan and Ye Hongyi remained where they were.
Because of that loud noise, the source has not yet been found.
"What, Bai Qing wasn't injured by you?" Ye Hongyi was a little surprised after hearing Mo Yuan's words.
Mo Yuan said seriously: "That Bai Qing was attacked inexplicably. By the time I arrived, he had lost his fighting power and was completely captured."
"It's impossible for such a master not to fight back, unless he really has no strength." Ye Hongyi nodded.
Anyone who works as a spy knows the consequences of being caught, so most of the time, even if they are willing to commit suicide, they will not be captured easily.
Mo Yuan said: "The upper part of Bai Qing's right chest was penetrated. I don't know what kind of hidden weapon it was, but I'm afraid it's so powerful that even the case between me and Fan Xi couldn't do it."
"Is there a more powerful master hiding in the world?" Ye Hongyi asked doubtfully.
Mo Yuan shook his head confidently: "No, apart from the old Pavilion Master of Emperor Zun Pavilion, there should be no one with martial arts skills beyond the two of me... So I guess it should be some kind of ordnance, similar to crossbows but more powerful.
It even smells like burning."
The smell of gunpowder smoke was naturally familiar to Mo Yuan, who had been on the battlefield. There was a similar smell in the air, which made him suspicious.
In this era when gunpowder hadn't even been invented, how could they possibly understand what it was?
"If they are manufacturing hidden weapons, they would be from the Ministry of Industry or the people from Qinglongtai in Donghai Kingdom. But I have never heard of such a powerful hidden weapon that can attack from a distance."
Mo Yuan was puzzled.
The nearest place is guarded by the Forbidden Army, and absolutely no one can sneak in. The person is at least hundreds of steps away from firing the hidden weapon, but what kind of hidden weapon can be useful from such a distance?
And the hidden weapon left no trace.
"Find an imperial doctor to take a look at Bai Qing. Maybe we can find some flaws in his wounds."
"No need to look for it." Dianyi's voice startled the two of them.
In a subconscious reaction, Ye Hongyi drew his sword and almost struck him, but saw Dianyi carrying Fang Jue on his back and slowly falling down from the Babel Tower next to him.
As soon as he landed, Fang Jue put the paraglider away, stuffed it into his backpack, and let Dianyi carry it.
Fang Jue was carrying the piano case on his back. When he saw the two of them, Fang Jue said hello as if nothing had happened.
"Mr. Fang..."
"Fang Jue?"
Mo Yuan was surprised: "Why are you here, sir?"
Dianyi said proudly: "Bai Qing came to kill my young master. Of course we have to strike first. Bai Qing was injured by my young master."
"What?" Ye Hongyi and Mo Yuan were both surprised, and then felt ridiculous.
A young man with basically no power to restrain a chicken actually defeated the deputy head of the Overlord Palace of Western Chu?
Are you kidding me?
"Sir, he disappeared for a day, so he came to kill Bai Qing." Mo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He knew what His Majesty was worried about, and suddenly felt that His Majesty was worrying too much.
"How did you hurt him?" Ye Hongyi asked curiously.
Fang Jue smiled and pointed to his piano case: "I have a secret weapon. When the time comes, you will all know what it is."
"Sir, I will report this matter to Your Majesty."
Fang Jue: "Whatever."
"Can Sir, sir, be able to make such a weapon?" Mo Yuan's eyes lit up and he was a little worried.
Bai Qing was injured before, and the sound was very loud. Although he was frightened, Mo Yuan was not sure that he could avoid it.
If everyone has such a hidden weapon, then... I am afraid that the masters on the master list will also be nothing more than fish.
"It's temporarily unavailable for mass production, but Commander Mo, times have begun to change..." Fang Jue said meaningfully.
In the future, after the muskets are put into service, it will be these martial arts masters who will be most confused.
