Yancheng is about a hundred miles away from Qianlingpo. It is a second-tier city in Yunmengze, so the scale of the city is naturally smaller than other places.
However, even if it is a small city, there are still some rules. The south of the city is the business district, which is very prosperous. People come and go on the streets, which is very lively. The north of the city is the residence of dignitaries. Most of them have their own courtyards and have
Guard guard.
The east part of the city is the wealthy area except for the officials and officials. It is also lined with pavilions and pavilions. As for the remaining west part of the city, it is where ordinary people and casual cultivators stay.
When Meng Qianqiu got the order to come here to find a place to stay, she gritted her teeth, took out her savings for several years, and bought a large house in the east of the city called Lingbo Garden.
A month later, when Qin Shaoyou came back, she was not here.
"Where did she go?"
The person who came out to greet him was Meng Bai. She had a book in her hand. After listening to Qin Shaoyou's question, she sighed softly and replied:
"That girl was seriously injured when she escaped that day and was unable to fly in the air. However, she was sent over three hundred miles by the young coachman named Zhao Ming. It's a pity that that silly boy overestimated his ability and lost his life in vain."
Qin Shaoyou took the scroll and glanced at her.
"Don't look at me like that, she said this herself!"
Mengbai took him towards the study and said as he walked:
"After she came here to buy this house, she went to take Zhao Ming's body back to the Zhao family, and helped the two elders handle his funeral affairs..."
"Let me see, that girl is probably moved. Otherwise, why would she visit those two old people every two days?"
Qin Shaoyou didn't answer. He looked through the book in his hand and quickly wrote it down in his mind.
What is recorded here is the information he wants Mengbai to inquire about, including the industrial situation of the Meng family, the Yun family and the Qin family, the supply channels of spiritual stone minerals and fairy grass spiritual fruits, as well as the monster materials and ores used for refining weapons.
etc.
Of course, this also includes some information about members of the Meng family, because Meng Bai already knew from Meng Tianying that many people in the Meng family were rebellious and had completely surrendered to the Qin family behind Gao Long for their own selfish interests.
These people also need to be eliminated by Qin Shaoyou, but if he wants to completely replace the power in Yunmengze, he cannot just kill them.
When he came to the study, Qin Shaoyou lifted up his shirt and sat down, but burned all the books in his hands.
"The various forces in Yunmengze are intertwined. The Qin family's forces have become deeply entrenched after more than a hundred years of management. It seems that they will not be able to shake them for a while..."
Meng Bai was a little puzzled:
"Aren't we going to kill Gao Long? Are we going to attack the Qin family's forces so soon?"
Qin Shaoyou looked up at her and replied in a deep voice:
"If you kill one Gao Long, a second Gao Long will replace him. And when this person dies, he will definitely alarm Qin Mutian in Xianyuan Mansion City thousands of miles away!"
"Although I'm not afraid of him, what if there is a second and third Qin Mutian coming?"
"Relying on brute force is never the answer!"
Mengbai's face looked a little disappointed, she curled her lips and asked:
"Then what should we do?"
"By the way, what was the result of going to the Black Dragon Pond?"
Qin Shaoyou didn't hide anything. He chuckled and replied:
"This is my way!"
"The green-scaled poisonous dragon promised to kill Gao Long for me, but only if we lure Gao Long to the Black Dragon Pond."
Meng Bai's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it. You must know that even when Meng Tianying brought the whole clan to see the green-scaled poisonous dragon, they were rejected, but Qin Shaoyou actually saw it?
What exactly did he use to make the deal?
"If you let the demon cultivator kill Gao Long, don't you need to be afraid of the Qin family?

?”
"You don't have to worry about this..."
"By the way, what about Lai Jinren?"
Qin Shaoyou suddenly asked.
"As you expected, that guy was really planning to sneak away. Fortunately, I caught him in time and he is now growing vegetables in the vegetable garden behind him!"
Mengbai looked proud.
Qin Shaoyou smiled in surprise:
"Wouldn't it be unfair to ask an immortal cultivator who is in the late stage of foundation building to grow vegetables?"
"Call him over here!"
Mengbai nodded subconsciously, but quickly came to his senses.
"That's not right. How did I become your subordinate?"
"Really? When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"
Qin Shaoyou shrugged, looking like I wasn't forcing you.
"When I come back from cultivation, I will definitely compete with you!"
Mengbai said angrily.
"Okay, let's wait until you return to the Nascent Soul Realm!"
The two looked at each other and smiled. Just when the atmosphere became a little ambiguous, there was a burst of panicked footsteps in the yard. They both looked outside, only to see Meng Qianqiu coming back with a panicked look on his face.
"Grandma Bai, Senior Nangong, I was recognized by Gao Long's men!"
Meng Qianqiu really didn't want to lead people here, but besides here, she really couldn't think of any other place where she could be saved.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw three figures appearing on the walls of the house in three directions.
"The woman that Mr. Gao wants cannot escape yet!"
"What that idiot Lai Jin couldn't do, was for us brothers to bump into him. This is really a stroke of luck!"
The three people who came were all casual cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building. Two were holding swords and one was holding a knife. They were looking at the beautiful figure in the courtyard with unkind expressions.
In this second-tier city, there are no powerful immortal cultivators in charge, so no one has established rules prohibiting killing, so these people do not hide their intentions.
Of course, generally speaking, everyone lives in peace in the city. Even if there is a fight, they will try to choose a spacious place that will not accidentally hurt others. Otherwise, they will make enemies for themselves.
Besides, if you are injured in a fight, you may become a hunting target for others. To sum up, in such a large-scale city, it is a rule that there will be no fighting.
"I heard that someone rescued you that day. The three of us brothers want to see who is so bold that he even dares to touch Lord Gao's woman!"
These three people are second-rate even among Gaolong's losers. They have very little information and don't know the details. They just heard that Lai Jin disappeared after a mistake. Then they met Meng Qianqiu, and they thought they could use this to rise to the top.
, climb up the high branches.
"Zhengchou doesn't have many people to help him, so why don't he just show up at his door?"
"Let's go out and take a look together!"
Qin Shaoyou said with a faint smile, then stood up and walked out.
Meng Bai pursed her lips, but also chuckled, and then followed Qin Shaoyou out of the study.
"Grandma Bai, Senior Nangong!"
When Meng Qianqiu saw the two of them, his face was overjoyed and he hurriedly approached them.
The eyes of the three people were naturally focused on Qin Shaoyou.
"That boy, you were the one who stole Master Gao's woman?!"
One of the ugly sword-wielding men pointed his sword at Qin Shaoyou with contempt and scolded him.
In his opinion, Qin Shaoyou only had a slight fluctuation in spiritual power, which was comparable to the Qi Refining stage, but the girl next to Qin Shaoyou looked like she was in the early stage of foundation building.
Qin Shaoyou revealed his cultivation level in the Qi Refining Realm, and Meng Bai revealed his cultivation level in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Both of them did this deliberately.
"It's windy on the wall, why don't you three come down and talk?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Qin Shaoyou stood with his hands behind his hands and asked with a smile.
"Hehehe, brother, the little girl next to that boy looks more tender than that woman, how about we..."
Another middle-aged man holding a sword stared at Meng Bai with a lustful look on his face, and couldn't help but swallow a few times.
"If you don't eat the toast...you'll have to drink wine as a penalty!"
The corners of Qin Shaoyou's mouth raised slightly, but when he saw him raising his hand and waving lightly, the expressions of the three people changed drastically. Before they could make any move, they were pulled down from above by an invisible force.
The three of them landed with a bang, and one of them, in a strange posture, thrust the long sword in his hand from his mouth, through the spirit pool, and out from behind his butt!
He opened his eyes wide, and there was a flash of panic, but then he twitched a few times and stopped moving.
The remaining two people's faces were already livid with fear. In their extremely frightened eyes, the monk gradually turned into a wisp of smoke, leaving only a pair of tattered clothes, a white long sword and a palm-sized storage bag.
!
With a wave of his hand, Qin Shaoyou silently killed an immortal cultivator who was in the middle stage of foundation building!
"Senior, spare your life!"
"Senior, spare your life!"
The other two people were so frightened that their pants were wet. Only then did they realize that this man, who seemed to have the lowest level of cultivation, had unfathomable strength. This was really terrifying!
Qin Shaoyou killed the man who teased Meng Bai, firstly to establish his authority and frighten the other two, and secondly because both Mengbai and Meng Qianqiu were disgusted by this matter. He didn't want to stay and boss such a person!
He looked at the other two people who were shivering and winked at Mengbai. The latter understood, took a step forward, turned his hand and placed a restraint on the heads of the two people.
This method should not be used too skillfully when she was still the head of the Wenren Sect.
"When people do something wrong, they have to pay some price!"
"From now on, you will stay here to guard the yard for me. Of course, if you perform well, you will be rewarded!"
"Thank you, senior, for your kindness..."
The two of them were lying on the ground, filled with regret and tears. The three of them were drinking normally, so why did this happen to them!
The only thing to blame is that guy's sharp eyes, and he recognized the veiled Meng Qianqiu in the surging crowd.
Yes, that's the guy who performed the sword-swallowing stunt...
Blame him!
Qin Shaoyou withdrew his gaze and said to Mengbai:
"I'll leave this to you."
"good!"
Then he looked at Meng Qianqiu again.
"You come with me."
"oh..."
Afterwards, Qin Shaoyou took Meng Qianqiu and walked towards the back of the yard.
Meng Bai sighed inwardly, she didn't expect that after a long time, she would go back to her old job.
"name."
"Mei Yan."
"Xu Jiangan."
...
The two of them walked through the courtyard wall and walked onto a long corridor. On one side of the corridor was a pool of clear water, and on the other side there were many flowers and plants, which was quite interesting.
"Senior, thank you..."
Meng Qianqiu said a little ashamed.
"I heard that your second uncle opened a weapons shop in the south of the city. On the surface, he provided goods for the Meng family's children, but secretly he secretly sent a lot of things to Gao Long's house."
Qin Shaoyou glanced at Meng Qianqiu, whose reaction was not what he expected, with a look of disbelief.
"How is this possible?!"
"No!"
"My parents died young, and my second uncle raised me since I was a child. How come I don't know about this?"
Qin Shaoyou chuckled lightly and asked:
"Do you think it's a coincidence that you were targeted by Gao Long?"
