"Creak"
As soon as the three of them reached the door of Qiao's Mansion, the door of Qiao's Mansion suddenly opened, as if they were waiting for them.
Ye Qing was not surprised and walked directly in. As soon as he entered, the door behind him suddenly closed, and Qiao Shanhu and Qiao Shanbao seemed to have been prepared, one left and one right, jumping to both sides.
The next moment, dozens of guards dressed in powerful attire, with fierce auras and holding swords rushed forward, tightly surrounding Ye Qing.
"Haha, I like this kind of hospitality!" Ye Qing smiled, he had already expected the situation in front of him.
In fact, as early as after entering Yuhua Lane, he noticed that Qiao Shanhu and Qiao Shanbao made a few gestures when passing by a few beggars, and then the beggars turned and left, apparently to inform Mr. Qiao Liu. Reported.
They thought they were doing it very secretly, but unfortunately, Ye Qing had already seen it clearly.
However, he didn't stop it!
Don't ask, just don't be afraid to ask!
"When you enter the door and call someone, when you enter the temple to worship the gods, if you enter without being called, you are called a thief. If you enter without worshiping, you are called a ghost. If you see a thief, catch the thief. If you meet a ghost, kill the ghost!"
"kill!"
The leader of the well-dressed man roared and rushed towards Ye Qing with a knife.
"Two mid-stage Qi Condensation, five early-stage Qi Condensation, and everyone else is from mid-stage Body Tempering to Great Success!" Ye Qing glanced at it and roughly judged the strength of everyone on the other side, and his men were not slow in their movements. When the man in the leading disguise struck down with his sword, he made a slight mistake in his steps, and the light of the sword slid down against his cheek. He then took a step forward, just to be face to face with the opponent.
"Hello!"
The well-dressed man didn't expect that the opponent was so fast. He was stunned for a moment, and during this moment, Ye Qing's shoulder leaned lightly against the opponent.
The next moment, the well-dressed man flew straight out as if he was struck by lightning. With a lingering power, he knocked the three people who were rushing towards him to the ground.
But at the same time, there were two swords and one knife behind him, stabbing him from different directions. The two swords struck his left arm and right shoulder respectively; one knife was a rare lying knife on the ground, with a weird and tricky angle, slashing towards him. His heels.
Ye Qing's feet slightly nodded, and his body floated gently, like a feather, not touching the snow and mud, and he dodged the two long swords that were stabbing him by a hair. Naturally, the swords returned in vain.
However, the next moment, in the frightened eyes of the three people, Ye Qing flew up, drew a strange arc, and suddenly landed behind them. Before the three people could react, their wrists felt pain, and then He couldn't hold the sword in his hand and fell to the ground.
And on their wrists, Hao Ran had a flying knife inserted.
After three flying knives were used to kill three people, Ye Qing's figure seemed to be exhausted and fell straight down. When the others saw the opportunity, they rushed over and slashed with their long knives.
But the next moment, I saw Ye Qingling take a step in the air, and numerous phantoms overlapped in the sky, either left or right, up or down, it was difficult to distinguish between true and false, virtual and real.
All their moves failed.
Immediately afterwards, everyone's wrists felt pain at the same time, and a flying knife was accurately inserted into their wrists, only a hair away from the artery. It would not kill them, nor would they cause them to be disabled, but it just made it impossible for them to hold it. Hold a sword!
Accident?
Or is it intentional?
But then, all of them opened their eyes wide with disbelief on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost.
I saw Ye Qing's figure as fast as a ghost, erratic and inexplicable. He was rushing, but suddenly he swept back. It was a straight line, but it turned into an arc the next moment. It was falling, but in the blink of an eye it would skyrocket. , making it difficult to judge.
Unable to judge, it is naturally difficult to react and defend, let alone attack. Wherever the phantom passes, a flying knife will be left on everyone's wrist, dripping with blood.
What frightened them even more was that the position of all the flying knives was exactly the same, only a hair away from the artery, injuring people without causing death!
After a while, everyone was covering their wrists, covered in blood, and their faces were pale and miserable.
There is only one young man standing with a smile, spotless and like an immortal!
"Are you still fighting, everyone?"
Ye Qing put his hands behind his hands, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled softly.
"..."
beat? Shall we hit him on the head?
Hearing this, everyone took a step back, not because they were timid, but because they really had no choice!
"This young hero, Mr. Six has invited you!" Suddenly, a man in black clothes with a gloomy expression came out of the inner hall and said to Ye Qing.
"Late stage of Qi Condensation!" Ye Qing glanced at the man in black, and then judged the other man's level, and said with a smile: "Lead the way!"
"Young hero, please!" The man in black still looked cold, and without looking at the injured people, he led Ye Qing around the front hall and towards the backyard.
Just from the opponent's slightly stiff steps and the left hand that has been folded in the sleeve, it can be judged that his heart is not as calm as he appears.
"There should be a soft sword in the sleeve. The soft sword in the left hand must be following an evil and weird path!" Ye Qing glanced at the opponent's left hand and judged in his heart.
As if feeling Ye Qing's gaze, the man in black paused slightly, and all the muscles in his body tensed up. As long as Ye Qing made any movement, he would react immediately. The soft sword in his sleeve would pierce the opponent's body. neck.
But he was not sure that it was someone else, the boy in front of him!
"Haha, my name is Ye Qing. May I ask what your brother's name is?" Ye Qing said.
"Zuo Yiyan!" the man in black replied, but still did not relax his vigilance.
"What a name!" Ye Qing praised, then looked at the elegant and beautiful scenery around him and said, "I didn't expect that your Sixth Master's mansion looks ordinary from the outside, but I didn't expect that there is something else going on inside! "
Ye Qing was telling the truth. It was different from the ordinary outside. What appeared in front of him was green water and green trees, flowers and grass like shades, covered bridges with flying eaves, winding paths leading to seclusion, elegance and beauty, pleasant scenery, and a poetic feeling.
In addition to the beautiful scenery, the arrangement of rockeries, covered bridges, gardens, woods, and paths in the courtyard may seem overlapping and winding, but it is complex but not chaotic, and very organized. Or to be more precise, the entire garden, It's just a maze.
If there is no one to guide you and you enter it by mistake, you will definitely get confused and get lost.
Moreover, there are many open posts and hidden sentries in this courtyard, and the defense is very tight.
"Designed by Mr. Liu!" Zuo Yiyan still cherishes words like gold, very cool!
Ye Qing clicked his tongue twice: "I didn't expect that your Sixth Master's calligraphy is ugly, but his skills in designing gardens are pretty good, and he is a talented and well-educated man!"
"..."
Zuo Yi was speechless and spoke ill of my master in front of me. Do you really think that you are not an outsider, or do you think that I am deaf?
Forget it, I'll just stay deaf!
After thinking about it, Zuo Yiyan decided to be deaf and mute by the way, and I would lead the way. I couldn't hear or speak.
Taking Ye Qing around seven or eight times, the trees and rockery disappeared, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and a huge pond appeared in front of him.
The water in the pool is blue, with lotus leaves floating on the water, almost covering the water. At a glance, the lotus leaves reaching the sky are infinitely blue and beautiful. If it is summer, there will be lotus flowers reflecting the sun, which is absolutely picturesque.
"Young hero, please board the boat. Master Six is in the pavilion in front!"
Zuo Yiyan turned sideways and asked Ye Qing to board a small boat next to the pond. He himself held the boat and drove Ye Qing towards a pavilion in the center of the pond.
Zuo Yiyan's skills were very good. The boat was very fast and without any bumps. He quickly arrived at the pavilion.
The pavilion has eight corners and is beautifully decorated. There are copper bells hanging in each corner. The breeze blows and the jingling sound is clear and sweet.
The water is beautiful, the pavilion is beautiful, the sound is beautiful, and the name of the pavilion is even more beautiful.
"Yuhua Pavilion, with flowers falling in the lotus pond, what a great name!"
"Haha, it's rare that Boss Xiaoye is also an elegant man. It's so obvious!" In the pavilion, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a scholar's robe, with a long beard and an elegant air, chuckled.
Who would have thought that the middle-aged man in front of him, who is gentle and elegant, and looks like a teacher, is actually the biggest mediator in Anyang County, Mr. Qiao Liu, whose hands and eyes are as big as the sky!
"Master Liu knows about me?" Ye Qing jumped off the boat and walked into the pavilion.
"Boss Xiaoye, please sit down!" Mr. Qiao Liu gestured with his hand. After Ye Qing sat down opposite him, he slowly said: "Ye Qing, a self-proclaimed traveling scholar, entered Anyang County seven days ago, bringing a strange frog with him. On the day he entered the city, under the introduction of Zhao Mu, the waiter at Yahang, he spent 300 taels of snowflake silver to buy Wuya Book Store, which was said to be haunted."
"After buying Wuya Book Store, I live in seclusion. In my spare time, I like to bask in the sun, drink wine, and listen to music. I don't care about the book store business, but I am kind and lovable. Because of my young age, I am called Boss Xiaoye by my neighbors!"
"Haha... I really didn't expect that the Sixth Master would investigate a little person like me so clearly. His hands and eyes are as good as the sky. He really deserves his reputation!" Ye Qing smiled and was not surprised. If the other party didn't have this ability, he would be called Anyang in vain. The most well-informed person!
"A new neighbor has arrived. He dares to buy the Wuya Bookstore that everyone avoids, and he is a young man. Qiao must pay attention!"
Mr. Qiao Liu smiled, picked up the hot tea that the maid had just made, took a sip, and said in a calm and soothing tone: "Unfortunately, my investigation was too superficial, and I didn't find anything at all. Boss Xiaoye actually He is a master who hides his secrets!"
Ye Qing smiled lightly: "I don't blame you, I hid it very well!"
"Boss Xiaoye is so funny!" With his self-cultivation, Mr. Qiao Liu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This was the first time he had seen someone praising him in such a disguised manner.
Ye Qing took a sip of tea, leaned back slightly, and said lazily: "By the way, Mr. Six was a bit unreasonable before. I came to visit you with good intentions and brought a heavy gift, but as soon as I entered the door, Mr. Six, you gave me a slap in the face? Tsk tsk, something’s not right!”
Master Qiao Liu said with a smile: "You came to the temple to worship the gods. Boss Xiaoye came uninvited. Why should Qiao have to worry about your purpose? Is it good or evil? Good or bad? Strong or weak?"
Ye Qing raised his eyebrows: "Just stretching?"
Mr. Qiao Liu affirmed: "It's just stretching!"
