Chapter 82: Zhu Ping resists arrest with sophistry
Luo Yuguo is a princely state located 15,000 miles northeast of Chaoge. The country has a vast territory, sparse population, and strong folk customs. Tianwu County is a large county in the north of the country, a place of bitter cold. Half of the year is covered with ice and snow.
The distance is so far that even taking a spaceship would require more than two days of non-stop flying. Qingshi named the spaceship "Pigeon" and engraved the three characters "Pigeon" on the bow.
There are no pigeons in Tianlong World, so Xiaoyu and Binghong pester Qingshi and ask what pigeons are?
Qingshi replied that pigeons are a kind of bird in his hometown and represent peace. He also mentioned that he had raised pigeons when he was a child. As he was talking, he accidentally said that pigeons were delicious, roasted squab, stewed pigeon soup, etc., which scared him. The two beauties turned pale, and repeatedly asked Qingshi why he was so perverted and ate his own spiritual pets.
Qingshi quickly explained that he did not eat pet pigeons, but meat pigeons raised specially for meat by others. This was a dietary custom of people in his hometown. It took a lot of effort for them to understand the local custom that an animal can be kept as a pet, a friend, or as food.
Duan Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "Why are the people in your hometown so perverted?" He glanced at Qingshi and said with a smile, "Fortunately you are not like this!"
Shen Binghong said lightly, "The people in your hometown are not only perverted but also hypocritical. Don't pigeons represent peace?" Looking at the bluestone, he smiled and said, "Fortunately you are not like this!"
Qingshi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was speechless.
The two girls looked at his extremely embarrassed look and couldn't help but lean on each other and laugh wildly.
People in the Tianlong World also keep pets. Some monks raise spirit beasts that are quite offensive and can help their owners fight. There are even some very powerful spirit beasts.
However, no one can eat the spiritual beasts that can be domesticated as pets in Tianlong World. Shen Binghong and Duan Xiaoyu both have spiritual pets. In fact, there are many students in the college who have spiritual pets. However, the college has regulations that do not allow spiritual pets to be brought into the school.
The Pigeon flies very fast. Qingshi not only made some improvements to its original drive system, but also removed some redundant parts to reduce weight, and improved the hull to give it a more prominent streamlined shape. The most important thing is that Qingshi also provided The entire spacecraft is equipped with a trigger-type fourth-level defensive array. This is a big project that took Qingshi a lot of time and high-grade spiritual stones.
Qingshi estimated that the spacecraft could reach a speed of more than 600 miles per hour. This trip was just a test, but even at this speed, it would take nearly two days to fly to Luo Yuguo.
In the main cabin of the spacecraft, Shen Feiyun called everyone for a meeting to discuss the specific details of the mission execution.
Judging from the information provided by Zhu Shilong, the incident happened half a year ago. Now Zhu Ping has occupied the original Jiufeng Gate of Jiufeng Mountain and renamed it Pinghai Gate. There are more than 400 people in the sect. Since it is a new sect, most of the people in the sect are basically A single outlaw.
The original Jiufeng Gate was not very big, and the terrain was dangerous but there were no high-level formation masters stationed there. Now it was occupied by Zhu Ping and expanded to some places. However, although Zhu Ping knew some formation-breaking techniques, he was not an formation master. Therefore, Ping Ping now Haimen probably doesn't have a decent mountain-protecting formation either.
Zhu Ping is naturally the number one master in Pinghai Sect. His cultivation is at the ninth level of Qi Condensation Realm. There are about twenty other Qi Condensation Realm masters.
Zhu Ping's combat prowess is not weak, and he has long been ranked among the top twenty in the inner court's dragon and tiger rankings. However, Shen Feiyun estimates that in terms of combat prowess, only Shen Binghong of the people on the spaceship is slightly inferior, and everyone else should be better than Zhu Ping.
The reason why they found such a strong lineup to deal with Zhu Ping was mainly because Zhu Shilong once said that Zhu Ping should have some powerful methods that they didn't know. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Pinghaimen to defeat the most powerful people in Tianwu County in just a few months with just these rabble. There are two powerful big families and cultivation sects. These forces all have Yuan Dan realm masters.
What you don't know is the most threatening. Therefore, Shen Feiyun did not dare to look down on Zhu Ping and Heping Haimen. Since they now know very little about the situation, Shen Feiyun feels that they should have a head-on confrontation with Zhu Ping first, and then make specific arrangements based on the actual situation. Qingshi and others also agree.
Qingshi drove the spaceship to fly at full speed. He used hundreds of high-grade spiritual stones used as energy sources, which converted into millions of low-grade spiritual stones, far exceeding the amount of spiritual stones used to use the academy's airship. Qingshi also Not distressed.
On the afternoon of the second day, the spacecraft flew into the Tianwu County of Luo Yu Kingdom, and saw a snow-capped mountain range lying in front of it from a distance. Nine snow peaks were lined up along the mountain range, towering into the clouds and piercing the blue sky, with jagged and jagged momentum. Extraordinary, that is the Jiufeng Mountains.
The spacecraft flew close to Jiufeng Mountain, and saw that at the foot of this mountain range, there was tundra covered with rocks and wild grass, scattered with large and small ice and snow melt lakes. It was still autumn at this time, and although snow had begun to fall, most of these lakes were not frozen yet.
The huge mountain is almost entirely made of exposed rocks. Except for some leeward places, the entire mountain is covered with ice and snow, and is completely white.
Everyone had excellent eyesight. As the spacecraft slowly approached, they soon discovered that between the two outermost peaks, there was a valley covered with green vegetation.
There are obviously red walls and green tiles in the valley, but there is no snow cover. The buildings with red walls and green tiles are quite large, with one or two hundred buildings, and they look like a town. According to Zhu Shilong, this should be the original Jiufeng Sect, the largest sect, and the current Pinghai Sect.
Shen Feiyun and others did not see the path in and out of the valley, and they did not know how the people living in the valley went in and out. But they have a spaceship, so naturally they don't need to worry about this issue.
Qingshi drove the spacecraft over a ridge, slightly deflected the spacecraft, and flew down the valley without fear of being discovered. Sure enough, from a distance, I saw someone in the valley discovering the spaceship and starting to run around.
Shen Feiyun deliberately let the bluestone fly slowly into the valley because he had his own plan. Zhu Shilong came to the college for help, and the relevant personnel of the college naturally had to investigate what he said. However, after all, this incident happened within the Zhu family, and it was difficult to obtain support from people outside the Zhu family.
Although the academy believes in Zhu Shilong's character and is also aware of Zhu Ping's bad conduct, this matter is what Zhu Shilong and the Zhu family said. Therefore, the academy asked Shen Feiyun to give Zhu Ping a chance to defend himself, so as to find out whether the facts are completely like Zhu Shilong's. said.
Flying into the valley, Qingshi kept the height of the spacecraft about seven or eight feet above the ground and continued to fly forward along the valley.
Seeing that he was about to approach the buildings in the valley, Qingshi discovered that this so-called Pinghai Gate did not have a defensive array. Judging from the layout of the underground buildings, it should have been there before.
Shen Feiyun stood on the bow of the ship and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Ping, we are from Tianlong Academy, please come and meet us!"
The sound didn't seem loud, but it spread forward along the valley. Hundreds of people in the valley could hear it clearly, whether they were outdoors or indoors.
Soon, a figure was seen rising from the ground and flying onto the roof of the town, and then two people took off and landed on the top of a stone tower on the outermost side of the town. The tall man, wearing a brown fur robe, was none other than Zhu Ping.
Zhu Ping said loudly in the direction of the spacecraft: "Which senior brother is here? What is the reason?"
Qingshi approached the spacecraft and hovered steadily a few feet away in front of the stone tower.
At this time, Zhu Ping had clearly seen everyone on the boat. Except for Wu Qinghan, he actually knew them all. He immediately smiled and said: "It turns out it's Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Teng, Junior Brother Qing, and Junior Sister Duan. Junior Sister Shen! What a rare visitor. What a rare visitor!" This junior brother looks kind, but he forgot his name. Who is he?" He was actually polite and considerate.
"I'm Wu Qinghan." Wu Qinghan said coldly.
"Oh!" Zhu Ping said with surprise on his face, "So you are Junior Brother Wu Qinghan, who is known as the college's first shot in a century? I have admired his name for a long time. I am honored to meet you."
Then he said to Shen Feiyun and others, "Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Chen, and all the junior brothers and sisters are here, I am really flattered. Please come in quickly, I will serve tea to you personally."
Shen Feiyun said expressionlessly: "Zhu Ping, your uncle Zhu Shilong came to the college to complain, saying that you killed the family elders and eleven members of your family, caused your father to commit suicide, and then gathered people to burn, kill and loot for bandits. Do you have anything to say?"
"It's total nonsense!" Zhu Ping said angrily and hatefully, "Zhu Shilong wanted his son to be the heir to the family head. When he saw me returning home after graduation, he restricted me in every way and targeted me. He spoke ill of me in family meetings and even wanted to kill me. The identity of the heir to the family head.”
"I argued with reason, but they said they wanted to arrest me regardless of right or wrong. I didn't want to fight with them, so I tolerated it and was forced to run away from home. Seeing that Zhu Shilong couldn't catch me, he actually attacked my father. I came back to save him. My father accidentally injured several family members, but he did not kill any elders. It is true that my father committed suicide, but he was forced to death by them."
"So you didn't kill the dead elders and family members of your family?" Shen Feiyun said coldly, "Then who killed them? Also, it's a fact that you gathered people to burn, kill and loot for bandits, right? How do you explain it?"
"The elders and family members who died in my family must have been killed by Zhu Shilong in order to put the blame on me!" Zhu Ping said, "He sent people to hunt me down, and I had to gather some friends to resist. He also contacted other families and sects to deal with me. , I had no choice but to fight back, so I destroyed several small families and gangs, all of which were forced by Zhu Shilong."
Looking at Zhu Ping who was full of lies but spoke seriously, Shen Feiyun shook his head and said: "Your parents died at the hands of Chuan Xin. This martial art belongs to the academy. Except for you, no one in the Zhu family, including Zhu Shilong, can use it. You How to explain?"
"Since you were framed by Zhu Shilong, how about you go to Zhu's house with us now, and in front of Zhu Shilong, how about we seek justice for you?"
"This..." Zhu Ping said slightly embarrassed, "Zhu Shilong deliberately planned to harm me. I can't go back. Besides, he fabricated evidence to harm me. Even if he goes back, I can't explain it clearly."
"What?" Shen Feiyun said coldly, "You don't believe that we can protect you? Don't believe that we can find out the truth? Or do you dare not confront Zhu Shilong?"
"No, Senior Brother Shen!" Zhu Ping said, "Zhu Shilong must have laid a trap to harm me. I can't go back. For the safety of all my brothers and sisters, I advise you not to go to the Zhu family. Besides, this belongs to my Zhu family. I don’t dare to bother you about the matter, I will deal with the traitor Zhu Shilong myself.”
"Brother Feiyun, there's no need to say any more!" Chen Tianye said angrily, "Zhu Ping, you bastard who is full of lies, let me ask you this: Are you going to come with us yourself, or do you want me to kidnap you and take you back?"
"Brothers and sisters," Zhu Ping also said with a cold face, "You only believe Zhu Shilong's words but not me, that's fine. But I just said that this is my Zhu family's matter, why do you interfere?"
"Zhu Shilong is also a graduate of Tianlong Academy," Shen Feiyun said. "He has the right to ask the academy for help. The academy has promised to clean up the door for him. I am talking nonsense to you here because the academy asked me to give you a chance to explain. Now it seems that it is really No need to worry, did you understand what Senior Brother Chen said? I will give you ten breaths to make a decision."
"In that case, I trust Senior Brother Shen and I will go with you." Zhu Ping said, "But I have to go back and explain, so that my men will not mess up without knowing the situation. Please wait for me for a moment." After saying that, Zhu Ping clasped his fists and said Gotta go.
"Wait!"
"stop!"
Shen Feiyun and Chen Tianye shouted at the same time.
Zhu Ping turned a deaf ear, turned around and ran away. His speed was beyond everyone's expectation.
"This is unreasonable!" Chen Tianye said angrily, and chased after him in a flash. Shen Feiyun snorted coldly and said to Qingshi: "Take the boat and chase!"
After saying that, Shen Feiyun flew out of the spaceship and chased Zhu Ping, and the others followed Shen Feiyun. Qingshi collected the spaceship and followed.
"Stop them!" Zhu Ping's roar was heard from a distance. Then hundreds of figures were seen coming from all directions, and it was obvious that there were many masters among them.
Shen Feiyun was extremely fast and had already arrived behind Chen Tianye in an instant, saying, "Brother Wu, follow me to chase Zhu Ping. Brother Tianye, lead the others to deal with these bandits."
Chen Tianye agreed, slowed down and said loudly, "You all come closer."
He saw a white figure passing by as fast as the wind. It was Wu Qinghan. Chen Tianye couldn't help but secretly praise him. No wonder Shen Feiyun wanted to lead him to chase him. The speed of this movement seemed to be not inferior to his own.
Teng Shouqian rushed over and landed gently next to Chen Tianye, followed by Duan Xiaoyu and Shen Binghong. Qingshi fell last because he was collecting the spaceship. At this time, he rushed to Chen Tianye's side.
At this time, Chen Tianye and the others were standing on the roof of a large building. They saw hundreds of thieves shouting and surrounding them from all directions, and dozens of people were chasing Zhu Ping, Shen Feiyun and Wu Qinghan.
