Chapter 22: Waiting for the Rabbit

Nie Xiang has such a status and has lived in Qingzhou for so many years. No one has ever dared to scold him in public like this.

Even if those words were slightly disrespectful, he would secretly send someone to deal with them.

But now, it was almost as if he was pointed at his nose and scolded by Ye Yuntian.

He was filled with resentment in his heart and wanted to say, "Those assassins were arranged by me", but the situation in front of him was stronger than others. If he dared to say that, Ye Yuntian would have to kill him with one sword. Tang Tianrui's status was higher than him, but he wouldn't dare I guarantee that Tang Tianrui will definitely come to the rescue.

Nie Xiang cupped his hands, gave a wry smile, and said: "Master Ye Hao, the Qianmen assassins are famous, powerful, and have unique concealment methods. However, I am too busy with worldly affairs to care about the first-level matters, so I was taken advantage of. .”

Ye Yuntian said: "What Qianmen assassin? I have never heard of it. Since you have such a big Zuihonglou, help me spread the news. The Qianmen assassin dares to attack my uncle. He is simply tired of living and does not know whether to live or die. If I were to find out about these hidden things, I would definitely leave none of them behind!"

Ye Yuntian said this deliberately because he suspected that Zuihonglou was related to the Qianmen assassins, so he wanted to take this opportunity to test it out.

He simply didn't have that much time and patience to investigate slowly. If Zuihonglou was related to the Qianmen assassins, how could they endure being so insulted by him?

Tang Tianrui, who was standing aside, also narrowed his eyes slightly and his expression was a bit cold.

Nie Xiang is the person in charge of the Qianmen Qingzhou branch. Hearing what Ye Yuntian said, he felt angry inside, but he didn't want to get angry, and his face turned a little dark.

"Master Ye Hao, I'm worried that the Qianmen assassins will be detrimental to me by spreading such news." Nie Xiang said, "The Qianmen assassins have mysterious traces, and the organizational structure is a one-way connection. Even if you kill several Qianmen assassins, you can't do anything." Shake the foundation of Qianmen. And once you are targeted by Qianmen assassins, it will be difficult to escape. Therefore, Qianmen is very scary, even more terrifying than Yueshen Sect. Please think twice about this matter, Master Ye Hao."

Ye Yuntian sneered and said: "Is it possible that the Qianmen assassin wants to kill my uncle, so I can only endure it? Just spread the news and say that the source is me!"

Nie Xiang stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Since Mr. Ye Hao insists on doing this, I will help spread the news."

Ye Yuntian asked again: "Where does Guan Qingsheng live?"

Nie Xiang knew that Ye Yuntian was finally leaving, so he replied without hesitation: "It's at No. 14 Zhongjie."

Ye Yuntian picked up his sword, turned around and strode away.

Nie Xiang was relieved when he saw Ye Yuntian leaving. Only then did he realize that this young man had put so much pressure on him.

He looked at Tang Tianrui and saw his face was gloomy, and his heart skipped a beat. Tang Tianrui was one of the three disciples. How could he endure being insulted by Ye Yuntian in public?

"Come with me." Tang Tianrui said to Nie Xiang, then turned and went upstairs. There were many people here, so it was not the place to talk.

Nie Xiang made some simple arrangements in the hall, then quickly walked upstairs and came to the secret room on the top floor again.

Entering the secret room again, Nie Xiang found two men wearing black clothes and half silver masks standing behind Tang Tianrui.

Nie Xiang carefully looked at the two people in front of him and felt nervous.

As the saying goes, the shadow of a person's famous tree, that silver mask represents the silver-level assassin, who is extremely powerful. Even if he reaches the realm of high martial arts, he is not the enemy of the silver-level assassin with one move.

With his strength there, he had to be cautious.

"Ye Hao came here today and obviously deceived me into having no one else!" Tang Tianrui coldly ordered Nie Xiang, "Immediately investigate Guan Qingsheng's participation in this matter. I want to grasp it as quickly as possible. The whole story."

Nie Xiang hurriedly bowed and replied: "Yes!"

Tang Tianrui said to himself coldly: "If you dare to underestimate me like this, I will make your life worse than death!"



Ye Yuntian guessed that Guan Qingsheng most likely came here for the crystal ball in his hand. If this was true, the lives of his uncle and cousin should be safe for the time being.

But he will definitely undergo some inhuman torture.

So after leaving Zuihonglou, he ran all the way to No. 14 Zhongjie.

Ye Yuntian's figure shuttles through the night sky, like a ghost.

Soon we arrived at No. 14, Zhong Street. The courtyard was dark, and the two large lanterns hanging at the gate were not lit.

Ye Yuntian sensed something was wrong, tightened his grip on the Lan Yun Sword, strode up the steps, and kicked open the door.

A loud bang echoed in the night sky for a long time.

The courtyard was already deserted.

Ye Yuntian kept walking, slashing and slashing with the sword in his hand, and quickly searched every corner of the courtyard, but found nothing.

He stopped, calmed down, and began to think.

Go over things from the beginning.

Guan Qingsheng handed over the invitations and entertained the officials at the Red Mansion.

Zhang He came to attend the banquet. As soon as he entered the Zuihong Mansion, he was attacked by an ambush assassin and escaped.

Five people entered the Zhizhou Mansion...

Guan Qingsheng's Bieyuan people left the building empty...



Guan Qingsheng...

Qianmen...

Crystal ball…

uncle……

cousin……

After a while, Ye Yuntian's eyes suddenly opened and closed, emitting a bright light.

As these clues were put together, Ye Yuntian immediately understood Guan Qingsheng's plan.

However, even if he figured it out, he still had no way of guessing where Guan Qingsheng and his uncle were hiding. They could only know that the other party must have been hiding in an extremely secret place in order not to be targeted by Qianmen.

Since Guan Qingsheng had already planned to hide, the place where he was hiding must be very hidden. Ye Yuntian's attempt to find them would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Ye Yuntian pondered for a long time, finally made up his mind, and returned to Zhizhou Mansion. On the steps at the gate, he thrust the Lan Yun Sword into the ground, sat cross-legged, and began to rest with his eyes closed.

He decided to wait and see.

Guan Qingsheng is here for the inheritance of ancestor Qinghong. If his uncle reveals that the crystal ball is in his hand to save his cousin, then Guan Qingsheng will definitely come to him.

If his uncle swore not to reveal the whereabouts of the crystal ball, Guan Qingsheng would most likely lead people to dig three feet into the ground in Zhizhou Prefecture.

Regardless of the outcome, Guan Qingsheng will definitely have to return to the magistrate's capital.





Zhang He was awakened by a basin of biting cold water and couldn't help but shudder. There were stabbing sensations from the sword wounds all over his body, which immediately woke up his groggy brain.

This is a closed and dark underground space. A huge brazier is lit in the middle. The firewood inside is burning and making a peeling sound. There are also two red-hot fire tongs in the flames.

Even though the firelight illuminated this space, it was difficult to dispel the damp and rotten smell exuding here.

Zhang He lowered his head and saw that he was tied to a wooden cross, his hands and feet were tied, making it difficult to move. There were two people standing in front of him, it was Guan Qingsheng and the woman wearing a bamboo hat.

"Zhang He, I went out of my way to stop your bleeding and save your life. Do you want to thank me?"
