The fight with Situ Jing that day was quite impressive, but the time was too short and the fire was insufficient, making it difficult to turn the mind freely and move freely. However, according to this progress, this is also a matter of time. Even so, compared to the day he fought against the vulture, he was completely different.
Situ Chang had already recovered from his injuries by three to four points. Because he was worried about his uncle's safety, and he didn't know what kind of conspiracy the Mosasaurus Gang would use to deal with the Sima Mansion next. He had to rush back to Hangzhou City as soon as possible to tell his father everything. Take prevention early. It was a matter of life and death for his family, so he could only race against time to seize the opportunity. As for obtaining Baopuzi's secret book, it seemed irrelevant at the moment.
Situ Chang explained his intention to leave to Wang Qi'an. Wang Qi'an wanted to escort the brothers and sisters, but he was worried about the disappearance of Xuanyi Temple Master and Zhengjiacun, so he couldn't help but hesitate.
After getting along with each other for a few days, Situ Chang had fully understood the Taipingguan murder case and the incident in Zhengjia Village. He knew that Wang Qi'an had a heart of love and chivalry, so he couldn't bear to embarrass him, so he couldn't help but explain:
"Since the Mosasaurus Gang failed to find our whereabouts in Lingnan, I believe they can only make a fuss about our return to Jiangnan. Although my uncle is very confident about this trip, my father still privately warned us brothers and sisters to think about it in advance. An unexpected escape route. Therefore, the current situation has turned around. We brothers and sisters only need to disguise themselves and take another roundabout route back to the south of the Yangtze River. I believe we can avoid the enemy's main force. Although Brother Wang is confident about going to Prince Xing's Mansion, it is just a dangerous trip. Wang Brother, you must be cautious. When the Yu brothers and sisters return to Hangzhou City, they will inform their father and they will find ways to come to help."
"In addition, Situ Chang has another unkind request. My uncle's whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are uncertain. If Brother Wang hears any news about him in Lingnan, please send someone to Hangzhou City to inform him. Brother Yu, I would like to thank you in advance. .”
"Thank you, Brother Sima, for being considerate and allowing me to escort you out of Boluo. I will then transfer to Prince Daoxing's Mansion. Your uncle is highly skilled in martial arts and should not be in danger. I will pay more attention and ask for more information. If there is any news, I will notify Hangzhou City." Wang Qi'an couldn't help but apologize after being taught Yuxu Jue, but immediately parting ways.
On that day, Wang Qi'an first went out to investigate the enemy's traces, and then prepared some dry food and disguises according to Situ Chang's instructions.
The next day, the three of them set out to leave as planned. Fortunately, they did not encounter anyone from the Mosasaurus Gang again along the way. After leaving Boluo Territory, Wang Qi'an said goodbye to the Sima brothers and sisters and changed their route to Prince Xing's Mansion.
During the long journey, he had just carefully studied Yuxu Jue and Taihaosi Magical Technique. When he arrived at Prince Xing's Mansion, he felt that he had made great progress.
The Southern Han Dynasty attached great importance to the commercial development with other local separatist forces and the South China Sea countries. The city gates were far more open than other countries. There was no need to provide proof or pay silver to enter the city during the day.
Wang Qi'an had never been to Prince Xing's Mansion before. He saw numerous restaurants, inns and food stalls on both sides of the main road, as well as rare snacks and snacks on the roadside.
Seeing the endless flow of cars and horses on the road, the busy and noisy scene of people coming and going on the street, Wang Qi'an couldn't help but admire that the grand occasion here was even better than that of Bianjing Mansion.
He has important things to do and has no time to stop and enjoy.
King Wen Ding was a powerful prince in the Xing Palace, and the location of his palace could easily be found out. Wang Qi'an followed the plan and decided to go to the palace to explore the terrain first.
Although he was dressed in coarse linen and civilian attire, he was tall and tall, and he was very conspicuous among the crowd on the street, attracting the attention of others from time to time.
After all, it was his first time here, and Wang Qi'an was curious about everything. He kept looking around and looking at this strange city.
Just as he passed a two-story teahouse on the street, he immediately felt uncomfortable in his heart. He felt that several sharp eyes that were different from ordinary passers-by were focused on him. He couldn't help but be more vigilant. At this moment, he heard someone making a slight noise. He said "Hey", and then the pressure from his eyes disappeared one after another. But he felt that there were still people following him closely.
Logically speaking, Wang Qian is a strange face here, and no one should know him. Could it be that he is from the Mosasaurus Gang?
Wang Qi'an acted as if he didn't know anything about it, but he was just secretly on guard.
But soon, he smelled danger, the warning signs appeared, and his body quickly responded.
A sword energy rushed towards his back, fast and sharp.
The person who came was not good, and he was definitely a master. Fortunately, he was alert and on guard.
Just when the sword energy was about to reach his body, he stepped forward like lightning. The newly mastered Yuxu Jue was worthy of being one of the two best skills in Sima Mansion. As if with divine help, he quickly opened the distance between him and the enemy.
He then turned around, and the gun held in his right hand accurately pressed against the tip of the opponent's sword. A crisp "ding" sound was heard, and the two sides separated as soon as they came together, forming a frontal confrontation.
At this time, the two sides really met each other.
Wang Qi'an did not expect that the person who attacked him was actually a woman. She was wearing a purple shirt and had a tall figure. Although she was wearing a curtain hat, she was graceful. Through the hanging tulle, you can vaguely see the outline of the other person's face. If you take off the curtain, you should be looking at a beautiful woman.
Although he was attacked inexplicably, Wang Qian was not injured. He was not a combative person, and seeing that the other party was just a woman, he calmed down his anger, locked eyes with the other party, and asked coldly:
"Who is this girl and why are you attacking me?"
Faced with Wang Qi'an's question, the other party ignored him and just looked him up and down carefully. A faint expression of astonishment could be seen on the face behind the tulle, and then she could be seen pulling her sword back into its sheath, turning around and leaving without saying a word, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Wang Qi'an was left standing there in confusion, feeling that it was neither a matter of chasing nor not chasing, thinking that this woman was strangely tight.
It only took a moment for the woman in purple to leave from the attack, so even though it happened in a busy street, it didn't attract much attention from passers-by.
Wang Qi'an still had important matters at hand. Although he attacked inexplicably, he saw that the other party retreated and did not want to cause trouble.
Just as he turned around and was about to continue on his way, there was a sound on the roadside and someone stopped him.
"Brother, please stay."
Wang Qi'an turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly and gorgeous clothes walking towards him.
"Brother, can you please take a step to speak?" After arriving in front of him, the middle-aged man smiled and whispered, and made a gesture to invite him to the roadside.
Wang Qi'an didn't know why the other party stopped him, but seeing that he had a pleasant smile and didn't seem to have any malice, he left the center of the busy street with him and turned to a narrow alley with fewer people on the side of the road.
This person appeared just after the attack. The timing was so coincidental that it was suspicious. Wang Qi'an couldn't help but secretly be vigilant, but he kept his expression calm on the surface and pretended to be calm: "I have never met your Excellency. I don't know what you want to do with me? I have an appointment with a friend. Time is urgent and I have to hurry."
"Brother, there is no need to worry about it. Although it is abrupt, I have no ill intentions. I just happened to witness the thrilling scene just now. Seeing that brother is calm and calm and has extraordinary skills, I admire him in my heart and feel a sense of acquaintance." The middle-aged man spread his hands and showed his face. A smile indicates no hostility.
The fight between Wang Qi'an and the purple-shirted girl was extremely dangerous. If his timing and timing were slightly wrong, he might be dead on the streets at this moment. But this lightning incident separated the two people at the touch of a button, and most people wouldn't know what happened even if they saw it.
But this person's eyesight was so good that he could see the key points, which made Wang Qi'an secretly shocked.
It seems that the outside world is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and I must not take this trip lightly.
"I, Liao Zhongxin, am the general manager of Prince Wen Ding's Mansion. I would like to ask my brother if I am also here for the Buddha Bone Ceremony when I come to Prince Xing's Mansion?" Liao Zhongxin introduced himself.
"If Liao's guess is correct, he has made a mistake at this moment, because the Buddha Bone Ceremony is fully organized by King Wen Ding, and he is responsible for receiving distinguished guests who come from afar. With a martial arts talent like Xiongtai, Since he is not an unknown person, can I tell you something?" Liao Zhongxin said immediately.
"What is the Buddha Bone Ceremony? Your Excellency must have misunderstood. I came to the city only at the invitation of a friend and have never heard of the Buddha Bone Ceremony. If there is nothing else and I have something else to do, I will leave first. I'm sorry." Wang Qian'an thought that it was such a coincidence that he met someone from King Wending as soon as he arrived. His mind was racing. Although he felt that this was a good opportunity to get close to Prince Wending's palace, he could not yet tell whether the other party had seen through his identity. . Since we have already agreed on a plan with Master Kongfa, and the situation is still unclear, it is better to stand still and wait and see what happens.
So after he responded, he was ready to leave.
"I just don't know how my brother could have offended the Jiuxuan Sect. As far as Liao knows, they rarely move around in the world, and I haven't heard of any sects that have any grudges against them. Of course, most people in the world don't want to offend them. They. Brother, you should be extra careful in the future. It is said that they must avenge themselves. I haven’t heard of anyone who has offended the sect and is still safe." Seeing that Wang Qian had no intention of talking and was about to leave, Liao Zhongxin was busy He changed the topic and continued to ask.
"Nine Mysterious Sect? I've never heard of it. Is it related to the Mosasaurus Gang?" Wang Qian felt suspicious and muttered in his heart.
But on the surface, he still responded calmly: "This is the first time I have heard of the name Jiuxuan Sect. I have never dealt with them, so there is no way I can offend them. I don't know why you said this?"
"Brother, don't you know that the person who just attacked you is a member of the Jiuxuan Sect? If I read it correctly, this person should be the purple-shirted messenger who ranks last among the five-color messengers of the Jiuxuan Sect. The year before last, when I was ordered to visit the sect , I had a chance encounter with her."
Liao Zhongxin saw Wang Qi'an's expression of doubt, which was not pretending. In order to gain his trust, he couldn't help but explain patiently: "The Jiu Xuan Sect is a mysterious sect, mainly active in Hunan, Hubei, Bashu, but no one knows the specific location of its main altar so far. . Because they have a small number of followers and rarely set foot in the Central Plains area, it is easier for them not to get involved in the affairs of the world. Most people only hear about them in name but not in reality. Not many people know about them. It was also a coincidence that I met the group. Only those who have had contact with the religion can understand it a little bit. The religion adheres to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will definitely die." " dogma. In the past ten years, all those who have offended the sect, no matter how good or evil, how high their martial arts skills, or how famous they are, have all died unexpectedly. The Jiu .”
As he spoke, Liao Zhongxin observed the change in Wang Qi'an's expression, and after a pause he continued: "Such a flamboyant method of revenge would easily arouse public outrage in the martial arts community, but the whereabouts of the sect are secretive and the location of the sect is even more elusive and difficult to find; the leader of the sect is the "Nine-Xuan Queen" She is extremely mysterious and rarely appears in the world. Very few people have seen her, but she is secretly regarded as the best master in the southwest. Rumor has it that she has never been defeated since her debut. The five-color messengers she has personally taught have extraordinary skills, and their martial arts skills are even comparable to those of others. He is the head of a sect. Besides, the people he seeks revenge on must have violated the religion, so it is wrong. It’s just that some people’s crimes do not lead to death.”
"According to the consistent dogmatic style of the Jiu Xuan Sect, my brother must have offended them somewhere to provoke the follow-up attack from the purple-shirted messenger. Since we met by chance, Liao said a few words to remind me that your current situation is very dangerous. , the Jiuxuan Sect’s revenge-seeking style will never give up until the goal is achieved. If you are lucky enough to escape a disaster today, you will not be so lucky tomorrow."
"Is it related to him?" Although Liao Zhongxin said that the situation was serious, Wang Qian didn't take it to heart, but he was also wondering when he had provoked the woman in purple shirt.
Seeing Wang Qian's silence, Liao Zhongxin thought that his words had achieved the purpose of intimidating him and made him worry about his own safety.
So he continued: "But brother, don't worry too much. I do have a way to resolve the current crisis."
"Oh? Didn't you just say that they must avenge themselves and will not stop until they achieve their goals?" Wang Qi'an asked in confusion.
"It is impossible for others to negotiate reconciliation with the Jiuxuan Sect, but it is not necessarily possible for one person. No matter how famous the Jiuxuan Sect is, it is just a Jianghu gang after all. I forgive her for not daring to go against the imperial court. Besides, they and Wending Prince's Palace There is still some connection. As long as Xiongtai is willing to join the service of King Wen Ding, His Highness likes to make friends with heroes and heroines. He will definitely appreciate talents like Xiongtai. When the time comes, all he needs to do is to explain the reason for this matter and have His Highness write a letter. According to Empress Jiuxuan, this matter can definitely be mediated." Liao Zhongxin smiled, so confident that he almost patted his chest as a guarantee.
King Wending spared no effort to win over people in the world. It seems that Master Kongfa's prediction was correct.
"Thank you for being so considerate of your Excellency, I am grateful. However, I am a countryman and am used to freedom. I am afraid that if I join the palace and do not follow the rules, I will cause unnecessary trouble. I can only live up to your kindness. I still have something to do. It's time to take the first step." After Wang Qi'an said this, he declined Liao Zhongxin's repeated invitations and turned around and walked out of the street.
The scene just now fell into the eyes of a few well-dressed men on the second floor of the street teahouse. They originally just followed the purple-shirted woman from before to sit down at a table facing the street in the teahouse. Although they noticed Wang Qi'an's appearance, they looked at it a few more times and didn't pay attention. When the woman in purple suddenly left her seat and attacked Wang Qi'an, it was beyond their expectations. The relationship between the two and Wang Qi'an's skills attracted their attention. After the woman in purple shirt failed to attack and left, they also divided into two groups. One group continued to follow the woman in purple shirt and left, while the other group stayed and planned to follow Wang Qi'an.
The contact between Wang Qi'an and Liao Zhongxin fell into each other's eyes. Seeing Wang Qi'an leaving, two of the well-dressed men immediately followed, while the remaining one left from another direction. These people wore uniform colors and styles, well-trained movements, meticulous actions, and detailed division of labor. They seemed to be members of a certain gang. I just don’t know why they are following the purple shirt girl.
After experiencing the attack and chatting up, Wang Qi'an no longer had time to browse the bustling street scene, so he couldn't help but speed up and leave the place.
After what he had just experienced, he did not dare to continue to take it lightly, and his whole body was on high alert. At this time, he found that the changes around him were absorbed into his sensory system, and all the movements were extremely clear. This had never happened before, and he couldn't help but To his surprise and joy, he knew that his skills had improved greatly.
At this moment, he sensitively sensed that someone was hanging on him from behind. The other person was not too close, and he was very good at hiding and tracking. It was not until he specifically raised his alert that he discovered the person's existence.
While Wang Qi'an pretended to be on his way as if nothing had happened, he paid attention to his surroundings and thought of ways to get rid of the other party.
When he passed a narrow and deserted alley, he pretended to suddenly remember something and turned around to walk back. His opponent didn't seem to expect that he would suddenly turn back, and quickly squatted down and pretended to be talking to the vendors on the roadside. At this moment, Wang Qi'an suddenly turned into a narrow alley. As soon as he entered the alley, he spread out his body skills and quickly climbed to the roof to hide himself. After a while, rapid footsteps sounded, and a figure hurried into the alley. Just when he found the alley When there was no one inside, and he was hesitating whether to pursue or retreat, Wang Qi'an landed lightly at the entrance of the alley and asked: "Who are you? Why are you following me?"
