Chapter 56 Huang Yue was captured
In the village, Xiao Ji and Qing Shi stood side by side on the observation deck overlooking the fierce battle in Sunjiaping. Suddenly, Xiao Ji noticed some movement behind him, and quickly said hello to Qing Shi before flying towards the west.
Standing on the roof of a house in the west of the cottage, Xiao Ji looked around, but found nothing unusual. However, he believed that he would never hear wrongly, so he stopped making any sound, and just concentrated on carefully sensing the movement around him. .
After a while, Xiao Ji noticed that several people were quietly approaching the top of the mountain. When they got closer, Xiao Ji shouted loudly: "Who are you? Come out!"
Huang Yue had lost track of Sun Feng and was anxious when he suddenly heard someone shouting and asking, so he had to show up. I saw a small young man in white standing on a high roof inside the village wall. He looked to be no more than twenty-five or sixty-six years old, but his aura was by no means lower than his own cultivation level.
Huang Yue immediately clasped his fists and said, "I, Huang Yue, of the Huang family, have been ordered by the master of the palace to capture the fugitives of the Sun family and have come here. May I ask who you are?"
The Huang family? Xiao Ji looked at Qingshi with confusion. The three people named in this assignment were Zheng Fangyi, Qingshi and Teng Shouqian. Therefore, Xiao Ji wanted to listen to Qingshi's idea at this moment.
Qingshi was already suspicious of the Huang family. Hearing that the Huang family wanted to arrest the Sun family, he immediately said loudly, "Since it is the person sent by Palace Master Huang, please come in and talk."
Huang Yue had no choice but to lead his men and jump into the stronghold. After entering, Huang Yue couldn't help but be surprised, because there were only three people in the whole stronghold. Except for the little man just now, the person giving the orders turned out to be a taller man than that little man. The young man's cultivation was definitely not at the Qi Condensation Realm, but the other man recognized Hu Yulai.
Seeing all the people coming in, Huang Yue, who was leading the Qingshi Dynasty, said: "We are appointed by the Tianlong Court and Tianlong Academy. We are the imperial envoys who came to handle the case of the Sun family's murder of the Jiang family. Who is the fugitive that Palace Master Huang asked you to chase?" where?"
"The fugitive is Sun Feng, the next generation heir to the Sun family," Huang Yue said without hiding it. "He secretly escaped from Sunjiaping and was discovered by us. We chased him all the way here, but lost his trace. Sir, do you have any information?" Did you see Sun Feng?"
"Nothing was found," Qingshi said. "You said you were chasing fugitives from the Sun family, but we only saw you breaking into the battlefield privately. It is right for Palace Master Huang to arrest fugitives from the Sun family, but if you don't use public servants but use your own private ones, I'm afraid that It doesn’t make sense.”
"It doesn't seem wrong for our Huang family to contribute to the country!" Huang Yue said.
"Of course it's not appropriate," Qingshi said coldly, "If the Huang family wants to serve the imperial court, they should report to us in advance and make it clear before they can act until Mr. Zheng gives permission. Since they don't report in advance and act privately now, they are interfering with our handling of the case. You guys fight In the name of hunting down fugitives from the Sun family, I trespassed into the important battlefield of Xigu Mountain. I think I have other motives! Why don’t you recruit them from the ground up.”
Huang Yue looked at this young man who was about 20 years old and had not cultivated to the Qi Condensation Realm. He spoke in an official manner and seemed to be deliberately trying to cause trouble for the Huang family, and he felt angry in his heart. Suppressing his anger, Huang Yue said: "In this case, we are presumptuous, and we will leave now."
"Come when you say you want, and leave when you want." Qingshi still said coldly, "Do you think this is your backyard?"
"Then what do you want?" Huang Yue endured the anger in his chest and said through gritted teeth.
"Stay patiently. Come back and follow me to see Mr. Zheng. We are sending Mr. Zheng to be punished. I must ask you what role the Huang family played in this case." Qingshi deliberately wanted to anger the Huang family.
"What if I don't agree?" Huang Yue sneered.
"I knew you wouldn't agree," Qingshi said, "Capture the Sun family's fugitives? Humph! Don't even think about lying to me. Our investigation has made it clear that your Huang family and Sun family are basically the same species. You are clearly here to help the Sun family recapture It’s from Xigu Mountain!”
"You kid is talking nonsense," Huang Yue said angrily. "The Sun family is domineering and doing evil. I, the Huang family, have long been determined to get rid of this harm. How can we help him? We are indeed here to arrest Sun Feng. Do you believe it?" It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it.”
"Oh~ It turns out that your Huang family has been determined to get rid of the Sun family for a long time. You finally told the truth." Qingshi sneered and said: "Okay! Then tell me how you prepared to get rid of the Sun family? Provoke the Sun family and Is it right for the Jiang family to fight?"
"You...you are talking nonsense!" The Huang family had planned to eliminate the Sun family. As one of the seven members of the Huang family council, Huang Yue knew all the action plans. When Qingshi exposed it, he was naturally shocked and confused. angry.
Huang Yue couldn't figure out how this kid knew about the Huang family's instigation of a fight between the Sun family and the Jiang family. Subconsciously, he looked towards Hu Yu behind Qingshi.
Hu Yulai was originally an insider that the Huang family had long ago attracted. This time, in order to persuade him to participate in the operation to eradicate the Sun family, the Huang family's plan was basically revealed to him without much concealment. Therefore, Huang Yue suspected that Hu Yulai had leaked the secret.
Qingshi noticed Huang Yue's expression and immediately said: "You don't have to look at Mr. Hu. Mr. Hu has already promised to cooperate with us and said everything that needs to be said, right Mr. Hu?"
Hu Yulai was so anxious that he didn't know how to answer. Qingshi's words were so clever that he could neither say yes nor no. He wanted to give Huang Yue a look, but Xiao Ji kept staring and could only remain silent in embarrassment. He cursed Huang Yue in his mind for wandering in here, and hoped that he would be smarter and not fall into the trap of Qingshi's words.
But Huang Yue was more brave than wise. When he saw Hu Yulai hanging out with people from Tianlong Academy, he suspected that Hu Yulai had betrayed the Huang family. After listening to Qingshi's words, he already believed him. Now seeing Hu Yulai's demeanor, he decided that he was acquiescing. He heard Qingshi's words.
Huang Yue couldn't help but cursed: "Hu Yulai, you old bastard, my Huang family has promised your Hu family huge benefits to get rid of the Sun family, but you are still greedy and betray us to ask for credit from above. Today I will kill you for this repeated act." Impermanent villain.”
Huang Yue waved his hand and took out a pair of long and short swords. He turned around and shouted to his own people: "There are only three of them. Let's go together. Kill them first! Come on!"
With that said, Huang Yue threw himself fiercely at Xiao Ji. The Huang family had long been skilled in cooperating. Two people immediately went to help Huang Yue, while the other four pounced on Qingshi, and three pounced on Hu Yulai.
Hu Yulai saw the Huang family rushing towards him and cursed anxiously: "Huang Yue, you are a confused bastard. If someone cheats you, you will lose your mind. Tell people to stop. I have not betrayed the Huang family. Stop it!" while cursing! withstand.
Except for the leader of the four people who besieged Qingshi, whose cultivation reached the third stage of Qi Condensation Realm, the rest of them were all a little worse than Qingshi. Although Qingshi’s cultivation was low, his actual combat power was extremely high, his true energy was pure, his martial arts were superb, There are many means.
When he saw the four people attacking, he was not in a hurry. He wielded the Flowing Fire Sword and activated the Brahma Sword Technique. He activated the Wind Shadow Step under his feet and calmly shuttled among the several people.
The three people besieging Xiao Ji over there, except for Huang Yue, who is at the mid-level Qi Condensation Realm, the other two are high-level Qi Gathering Realm monks. How could these two people intervene in the close combat between Xiao Ji and Huang Yue? Basically, You can only wait for an opportunity to sneak one or two moves from the outside.
The three people who besieged Hu Yulai were also a third-level Qi Condensing Realm and two Qi Gathering Realm monks. Hu Yulai himself was only at the third level of Qi Condensation Realm, but due to his age and lack of strength, he soon became surrounded by dangers.
He believed that the Huang family was highly cultivated and neither Xiaoji nor Qingshi was a match. He had no time to watch the battle between the two of them, so he had to continue to persuade those who besieged him with earnest words, so that they should not believe the words of outsiders and that he had not betrayed the Huang family. .
Huang Ting, who took the lead in besieging him, saw that his demeanor did not seem to be fake, and immediately said: "If you really are not betraying, then put down your weapons and I will not hurt you for the time being."
Hu Yulai had no choice but to throw away the weapon in his hand and stand still. Huang Ting put away the knife and stepped forward to tap him lightly a few times, sealing his main meridians and making him lose his fighting power. Hu Yulai had no choice but to let it go.
Huang Ting restrained Hu Yulai and immediately ordered his men to watch Hu Yulai, and went to help Huang Yue besiege Xiao Ji.
Hu Yu came to see that the battle besieging Xiao Ji and Qingshi was still going on, and said loudly: "Brother Huang Yue, now that the matter is over, kill these two people quickly, otherwise the night will be long and the dream will be endless. I did not betray the Huang family. We will talk about the specific situation later."
Qingshi had been observing the situation on the field. This was the first time Qingshi saw Xiaoji's close combat skills. After only seeing a few moves, Qingshi's heart brightened and he realized that Xiaoji was actually using the metallic martial arts Xuan that he was currently practicing. gold hand.
Looking at his extremely fast footwork and moving around like a ghost, Qingshi recognized the movement technique used by Xiao Ji at a glance. It was also similar to his own Wind Shadow Step, a wind-attribute martial skill. It seemed that he also had wind-attribute energy.
Seeing that Xiao Ji's hands were not afraid of touching the opponent's weapon at all. Although he was wearing spiritual weapon gloves, it was obvious that Xuanjin Hands had reached the second level of perfection, and it was easy to fight one against three. Qingshi began to understand why the master wanted to practice Black Gold Hands on his own.
Xiaoji naturally paid attention to Qingshi. Seeing that he was at ease, he was not in a hurry to attack, and waited to see how Qingshi would deal with it.
After listening to Hu Yulai's words, Qingshi said to Xiao Ji: "Senior Brother Xiao Ji, Huang Yue and Hu Yulai just need to stay alive. Let's do it."
Qingshi suddenly put more force on his feet and used the Wind Shadow Footwork. The four people surrounding him felt that the people in front of them were moving incredibly fast, and their bodies were moving like an afterimage.
Qingshi separated the sword in front of him with a sword, and used his left hand to secretly use the breeze to blow out a wind blade, which immediately shot through a person's chest, and then pierced a person's throat with the long sword in his right hand.
The remaining two people did not expect that the other party was suddenly so powerful, and they were greatly frightened. There were more flaws in their movements. In less than ten rounds, they were all killed by the bluestone sword. For enemies who want to take his own life, Qingshi can kill them without much psychological burden.
Qingshi sheathed his sword, and saw that except for Hu Yulai, who stood motionless with eyes wide open, all the enemies on the field fell to the ground. However, only Huang Yue was vomiting blood and still breathing. It seems that this 'little Ji is desperate' He is very good at killing others.
Qingshi looked at Huang Yue who was in a pool of blood and said: "When we came here, we suspected that the Huang family was suspected of instigating the Sun family and the Jiang family in this case, but there was no evidence, but now we have two witnesses."
Qingshi walked a few steps and came to Huang Yue and said, "Tell me, how did your Huang family get the Sun family and Jiang family to fight?" Huang Yue said nothing but glared at Qingshi.
Qingshi stopped asking, turned to look at Hu Yulai and said, "What do you say, Mr. Hu?"
Hu Yulai never expected that the dozen or so experts from the Huang family would be so vulnerable to these two young men.
When he was captured at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Ji was responsible for clearing out the three people on the east side of the Holy Lake, so Hu Yulai had never seen him take action. As for Qingshi, he had not seen him take action either, but judging from his cultivation, he was not in the Qi Condensation realm. Even his own Even worse, who would have thought that his combat prowess was so great.
Hu Yulai couldn't help but sigh and said: "The Huang family has indeed wanted to get rid of the Sun family for a long time. The fight between the Sun family and the Jiang family was indeed caused by the Huang family, but how did Shangguan know?"
"There are quite some discrepancies between Huang Yan's report and that of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Imperial Court," Qingshi said lightly, "Of course I believed the Investigation Department and suspected that the Huang family had lied. Those security formations at the foot of the mountain were all your work, right? It seems that there are no mistakes. It may be due to the low level of those who set up the formation, but in fact it was all done deliberately. How could I not know? This shows that there is a mole in the Sun family who is proficient in magic formations. However, this mole is not one of ours. Of course, it is most likely arranged by the Huang family. Well, it can only be you. No wonder you surrendered so easily to help us deal with the Sun family. But you are self-defeating. Even if you don't make these loopholes, wouldn't I be able to break the formation? "
"Alas! Shangguan's methods are unbelievable, old man I admire him!" Hu Yulai said, "It's just that these magic formations were laid out a long time ago. The mistakes and omissions were originally to leave some mistakes for the Sun family in the future, but they were not to cater to Shangguan this time. But. You are right. No matter what, this shows that I am an insider of the Huang family. I think that the Hu family was forced to take refuge in the Sun family, and the Huang family took advantage of it and had to participate in their conspiracy to overthrow the Sun family. Today has already If it is exposed, I simply abandon the Sun family and then the Huang family, which can be regarded as revenge for the humiliation of the Hu family by the two families for thirty years. I am willing to accuse the Huang family of deliberately conspiring against the Sun family and using the Jiang family's affairs to bring trouble to the Sun family, but I really don’t know how it works specifically.”
"Well, it would be best if you are willing to testify." Qingshi said.
"Just now, I, the old man, was rude to the two Shangguan officials," Hu Yulai murmured. "I dare not ask for Shangguan's forgiveness. I just ask you two to see that my Hu family has no crime in this case. Please do something for me." Save some blood."
"You don't take the initiative to explain the Huang family's conspiracy," Xiao Ji said, "and you still want to kill the two of us together with the Huang family. How dare you say you are innocent?"
"Shangguan Mingjian," Hu Yulai would have knelt down if his meridians had not been blocked and unable to move. At this time, I could only say anxiously, "I'm sorry that the old man is guilty and I don't dare to defend myself. I mean that no one else in the Hu family is guilty except me."
"Okay," Qingshi said, "You and your Hu family are guilty or not. How to deal with it will be decided after the case is clear." After Qingshi finished speaking, he ignored Hu Yulai and walked to the east observation deck to see the battle situation in Sunjiaping.
As soon as they approached the observation tower, Qingshi received a message, but it was from Teng Shouqian, saying that Sunjiaping had been captured and that he would pick up Qingshi and Xiaoji.
Qingshi jumped up to the observation deck and took a look. It turned out that Teng Shouqian took the spaceship and came to Xigu Mountain, and he had already flown more than half the distance.
Qingshi jumped off the observation deck and walked towards the cave array control room. At the same time, he told Xiao Ji the news of Teng Shouqian's arrival and asked him to pay attention.
