Jiang Shuiyao sat next to Linghu Jiangan, took a sip of tea and asked.
Chai Que had confessed before coming here that the white double-winged spirit cranes kept in the Wandan Sect were flying spirit beast cubs specially sent to be cultivated, and the number was extremely rare. Although there is no need to hand it in now, one of them died inexplicably, so it must be
It's hard to explain to the superiors.
Linghu Jiangan slapped the table with his palm, tea splashed all over the table, and said in a hateful voice: "A disciple witnessed it with his own eyes, and someone from the Xuanyang Sect shot him."
Jiang Shuiyao frowned and asked, "How did Xuanyang Sect get into your mountain gate?"
Xiao Yu explained: "Xuanyang Sect is not far from Wandan Sect. Although they cannot enter due to the sect-protecting formation, the flying space of the two-winged cranes is not restricted. They must be lurking outside the sect-protecting formation.
, took action when the two-winged crane flew out, but was discovered by my sect disciples and hid again before he could pick up the body."
Jiang Shuiyao asked: "Since they are a sect, they should naturally know the origin of the two-winged crane. Aren't they afraid of offending the Blood-clothed Soul Sect by hunting like this?"
Linghu Jiangan sighed and said: "The Xuanyang Sect has been planning to join the Blood Clothes Soul Sect just like us a few years ago. Although the superiors did not agree openly, they actually arranged for them to raise the twin-winged crane cubs.
The mission. They are causing trouble like this just because they want us to be blamed by the Blood-clothed Soul Sect if we fail to deliver. Over time, the support from the top will naturally lean towards them."
Jiang Shuiyao nodded. Sects have always attacked and annexed each other. Even the information from Feng Xiangshan showed that Xiao Yu was an ambitious master. However, this matter came about by coincidence. Jiang Shuiyao faintly
I feel like someone is deliberately posing a difficult problem for him.
Under Jiang Shuiyao's instructions, Ling Hu got close to the two-winged crane, looked at the wound carefully, and said with a click of his tongue: "An arrow penetrated the neck. It was done by an expert, and his strength is not low."
Jiang Shuiyao turned his head, looked at the old man who was carelessly playing with the jade ring on his hand, and asked, "Elder Qin, what do you think?"
"It's a pity." Qin Mengxiang smiled and thought: "It can't be saved, so why don't we bake it at night~ I'll take it for you."
Everyone was stunned. With Qin Mengxiang's attitude, was he making it clear that he was no longer a special envoy and had no obligation to deal with these matters anymore?
"Then let's roast him as Elder Qin said!"
Jiang Shuiyao said playfully: "Master Linghu, please send more disciples to patrol the mountain in the next few days. As long as we catch people from the Xuanyang Sect, I will naturally have a way to handle the next matter."
"Elder Qin, after eating this spiritual crane, it's time for you to return to the sect. After all, the New Year's Tribulation is coming, and no shop on the road will dare to open for business. If you are still eating and sleeping outside at your age, I will
It’s a bit unbearable.”
After saying that, Jiang Shuiyao stretched his body, ignored Qin Mengxiang who looked ashen, and said to Linghu Jiangan: "I'm a little tired. Master Linghu, please help us arrange two accommodations, which should be quieter. But that kind of
I don’t want a house where a dying man lived.”
Linghu Jiangan responded with a smile and asked Linghu Yinan to take them to where they were staying. Looking at Jiang Shuiyao and Ling Hu's leaving figures, Xiao Yu said with a smile: "You have a very poisonous mouth."
"Husband~"
Xiao Yu didn't care about Qin Mengxiang's presence at all, and gave Linghu Jiang'an a wink, and said coquettishly: "Let's go and have a rest too~"
"Okay." Linghu Jiangan laughed, hugged Xiao Yu and went out. In an instant, only Qin Mengxiang with an ugly face was left in the main hall. Over the years, the two of them have been extremely disgusted with Qin Mengxiang's greed, and now he
Having lost ground, naturally he will no longer be as polite as before.
Linghu Yinan brought Jiang Shuiyao and Ling Hu to a quite quiet courtyard and left quietly. Linghu was very conscious of being a guard and vigilantly checked the inside and outside of the courtyard before returning.
Jiang Shuiyao was waiting by his side.
"Brother Ling, sit down."
Jiang Shuiyao sat on the stone pier in the courtyard, pointed to the seat next to him and said something. These days, he heard that the brothers brought by Feng Xiangshan always called Ling Hu his second brother, so he simply followed suit.
Ling Hu, on the other hand, was made to sit or stand by the sound of Brother Ling. He was bored for a long time before he clasped his head and murmured: "Master, just call me by my name."
"No problem." Jiang Shuiyao said with a smile.
Although Feng Xiangshan and others were brought under his command, after all, these people are veterans who have been around for many years, and it is necessary to ask them for advice many times. Therefore, Jiang Shuiyao felt that there was nothing wrong with calling them this way.
It was noon, and the sunshine in Nanchengzhou was extremely gentle. Jiang Shuiyao and Ling Hu chatted for a while and then sat cross-legged in the courtyard to adjust their breath. He was very satisfied with the effect of the Eagle Soaring Technique last night, and every day these days
The results of practicing the Blood Clothes Technique every day are also very obvious. Jiang Shuiyuan is very sure that if he has the opportunity to apply his insights into actual combat in the next few days, he will definitely be able to take a small step forward in his cultivation level.
As for his hidden illness, Li Guang had made it very clear before leaving that this internal injury would not affect his current practice, at least before Jian Junjing. Under the comfort of Li Guang and Chai Que, Jiang Shuiyao
I soon felt relieved. It would still take a long time for me to reach the Sword Lord Mirror. The most important thing right now was my practice.
Two hours later, several ape cries woke up Ling Hu, who was sleeping soundly in bed.
This is his instinctive reaction, because this sound is too familiar to him. Over the years, he and Feng Xiangshan and others have often divided work and cooperated. In inconvenient situations, they relied on this ape cry to communicate. At this time
Only then did he realize that the reason why Jiang Shuiyao continued practicing as if nothing happened after returning to the courtyard was because he had asked other brothers to hide in the dark and keep an eye on what was going on in the Wandan Sect.
Jiang Shuiyao was practicing the Blood Clothes Art in the courtyard. When he heard the footsteps of Ling Hu approaching, he didn't open his eyes. He just nodded. The sturdy man immediately followed the sound and looked for him. It took half an hour before he reappeared in the courtyard.
"Master."
Ling Hu panted and whispered: "Brother Feng said that the two-winged crane was shot to death by people from the Wandan Sect. He had been exploring the Wandan Sect's sect-protecting formation before, so he sent the news now."
Jiang Shuiyao asked: "Have you seen the appearance clearly?"
Ling Hu said with shame, "No, it was too far away. I only saw the arrow shot from the woods within the sect. When Brother Feng rushed over, the man had already left."
Jiang Shuiyao nodded. As long as it was confirmed that it was the Wandan Sect's trick of calling out the thief and catching the thief, it would not be too difficult to solve many problems.
With Feng Xiangshan's strength, he could easily hide it from the disciples who were patrolling the mountain, whether it was physical skills or hidden aura. So after thinking about it for a long time yesterday, Jiang Shuiyao decided to put him in the dark and only took Ling Hu into the Wandan Sect.
Now it seems that it is indeed a wise choice.
Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu! Do you want me to take action against Xuanyang Sect so soon?
Jiang Shuiyao curled his lips. Not long after, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and Qin Mengxiang came up to him.
"My young master is practicing martial arts. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tonight." Ling Hu said coldly and was about to close the door. Qin Mengxiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, his expression changed again and again, and finally said with a smile: "There are many people talking at night.
, it’s not convenient to say.”
"Then come in first!" Ling Hu snorted heavily and watched coldly as the slightly stooped old man followed him through the door.
"My young master, please stay in the yard until you finish practicing. Don't disturb me. Otherwise, I'll beat you to death!"
Although Ling Hu has an upright character, it does not mean that he is a fool. Qin Mengxiang has been the local emperor for seven or eight years. Even if he doesn't need Jiang Shuiyao to remind him, he knows that he should temper the old man's arrogance. Otherwise, he will continue to carry a man like that at noon.
It's better to chop it off with a knife to make people happy.
Ling Hu stood aside with his hands on his hips and waited with murderous intent. Qin Mengxiang really didn't bother Jiang Shuiyao. In fact, when it came to cultivation, the two of them were at the same level, but in recent years Qin Mengxiang had only been thinking about joining the Wandan Sect.
To reap the benefits here, he had long since abandoned his practice. In addition, he was already old, and Ling Hu was a thick-waisted man, so the idea of taking action flashed in Qin Mengxiang's head for a second, and soon
was dismissed.
Qin Mengxiang is extremely familiar with the Blood Clothes Technique. He has been an inner elder in the Blood Clothes Soul Sect for decades. Jiang Shuiyao's cultivation level can be easily seen through. Seeing that Jiang Shuiyao is now operating smoothly
Seeing this, Qin Mengxiang couldn't help but smacked his tongue secretly.
Although he was extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Shuiyao for taking away his job, and he also despised the way an ordinary disciple would go out with a guard. But there was one thing to say, with Jiang Shuiyao's mastery of the Blood Clothes Art, not to mention the disciples at the same level as him.
Without this, even most of the monk mirror disciples in the sect would not be able to reach his level of proficiency.
However, Qin Mengxiang also had some doubts in his mind. He had met Jiang Shuiyao when he was in the sect. Although Jiang Shuiyao was only five or six years old at that time, from that time on, Jiang Shuiyao was a useless martial artist and had a reputation for doing all kinds of evil.
Notorious. Why does it seem like you have changed as a person this time when we met? Not only did you start practicing, but you also practiced so well?
Qin Mengxiang patiently stood aside and waited. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said with some urgency: "Jiang Shuiyao, the two-winged crane was not killed by people from the Xuanyang Sect."
Qin Mengxiang's voice was not loud, but Ling Hu who was standing by suddenly changed his face and prepared to fight. Jiang Shuiyao had already opened his eyes and said, "It wasn't someone from the Xuanyang Sect who did it. Could it be someone from the Wandan Sect?"
"It's very possible." Qin Mengxiang nodded hurriedly, and continued a little further away from Ling Hu: "Linghu Jiangan has been quite honest over the years, but Xiao Yu's mother-in-law's ambitions are not small at all. This time she took the risk of shooting
The two-winged crane most likely wants to attract your attention and destroy the Xuanyang Sect."
"Since you are so ambitious, how could you do such an impetuous thing?" Jiang Shuiyao reached out and took the handkerchief handed over by Ling Hu, wiped his face, and suddenly grinned: "How do I feel that you are the biggest suspect?
of!"
Qin Mengxiang was shocked and said: "How is that possible?!"
Jiang Shuiyao grinned: "How is it impossible? In a few days, the sect will send people to deliver medicinal materials. When the time comes, they will naturally hold me accountable for the murder of the two-winged crane. To be honest, my blood-clothed soul has been
The reputation of the sect is really not that good. After they go back and report this matter truthfully, even if Deputy Sect Master Chai intends to protect it, I am afraid that I will have to be sent back to the sect. And the position of special envoy is not natural.
Did it fall back into your hands again?"
Qin Mengxiang looked horrified. He admitted that Jiang Shuiyao's words made no sense, but he was also very sure that Jiang Shuiyao was deliberately ignoring the important point that he had been staying with Linghu Jiangan and his wife from the beginning to the end and had no chance to take action.
And the reason why he said this was obviously because his attitude at noon that had nothing to do with him annoyed him, so now he just used a random excuse to join his army!
Seeing that Qin Mengxiang started to panic, Ling Hu also cooperated very well and cracked his knuckles, shouting: "What a thief! Catch the thief! Old man, come here to get him killed!"
"It's really not me!!!"
Qin Mengxiang broke into cold sweat, and the peak momentum of Linghu Sword and Junjing exploded instantly, making him even more sure that he was no match for this rough man. After saying these words, he ran away and met Linghu who was about to knock on the door.
Nan almost hit her head full.
The latter looked at Qin Meng's fleeing figure and was confused for a moment. Then he stuck his head into the yard and shouted: "Little brother! My mother asked me to come and feed you!",,,,,,,
