Zou Yi and Shen Huai stayed in Pufu, which Jinyiwei and Dongchang had expected in advance. The Zou family ranks first among the six aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, and has long-standing trade relations with the Pu family. The current head of the family, Zou Yi, is young, powerful, and resourceful. Under his leadership, the Zou family prospered, and the nickname "Bei Pu and Nan Zou" has been used to describe these two prosperous families. Zou Yi is indeed a junior in terms of age, but in terms of status, he can be compared with Old Master Pu on equal terms.
As for the other person, Shen Huai, who is "skilled in swords and bows", his relationship with the Pu Mansion is not difficult to find out. Without him, many years ago, when Shen Huai was still unknown, he worked as the security captain of a restaurant under the Pu family's name with his tolerable kung fu, and single-handedly arrested the then-famous and wanted to fight. The notorious thief "Flying Rat" is behind the Pujia Restaurant. This incident became the starting point for Shen Huai's meteoric rise, paving the way for his subsequent success. From the time Shen Huai resigned from his position as the town hall manager in a restaurant until he became a famous martial arts star a few years later, and even now, he has maintained a good relationship with the Pu Mansion.
These two people are both powerful and famous, which makes their friendship with the Pu family well known in the world. Therefore, for Zou Yi and Shen Huai to appear in the Pu Mansion at this time, it would not be considered "pitying their lives" or "embarrassing". But Gongsun Xiao, the "Poison King of Xiling", is different. The relationship was called a clean one, but as a result, a strong man like him came to Pufu to avoid trouble, which would not sound very good if word spread about it.
However, Gongsun Xiao himself didn't care about this blow to his reputation. The Poison King has lived for most of his life, but he has come to understand: fame, fortune, let it go. In Gongsun Xiao's heart, compared to the insignificant fame, it is more practical to find a safe place to prepare for the sacred treasure.
It can be said that Gongsun Xiao was not an open-minded person, but his calm attitude even if he was under someone else's roof made someone in the Pu Mansion find him an eyesore.
Tian Weicheng is the "someone" mentioned above.
On the surface, Tian Weicheng is a powerful swordsman who has been famous in the world for a long time. He is nicknamed "winged sword" by people. Since he emerged in the martial arts world, he has never fallen out of the top five in the rankings of fast swordsmen; secretly, , he is Tian Qianhu who works in Jinyiwei, and his real martial arts is much higher than what he hides and shows, at least at the level of a super master gatekeeper.
At this moment, Tian Qianhu was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard of his residence, with Jin Yiwei's saber at hand. He was waiting for someone, or in other words, waiting for news.
"Sir Tian," after a while, Zhuo Jing, a member of the Jinyiwei family, respectfully walked to Tian Weicheng and brought the news: "Fei Ge passed the message. Lord Yue of the Jinyiwei, Eunuch Hao Yan and Hao from Dongchang, and the Imperial Guards Lord Kuai Ting Lei Kuai and five hundred elites have already set off and will arrive in just a quarter of an hour."
"Well, how is the situation elsewhere in the city?"
"Returning to your lord. Except for Pu Mansion, most of the Jianghu people scattered in the capital are insignificant. Only Lu Lingyuan, the leader of the Sixiang Sect, and Tan Shang, the leader of the Kongtong Sect, are somewhat threatening. They have already Master Ouchi will lead a team to deal with them."
Zhuo Jing paused, and then talked about the court's actions outside the city: "Because a large number of top-level martial arts masters broke the rules and entered the city, and those who stayed outside the city were just small fish and shrimps, so it was easier to clean up."
"Who among the Jin Yiwei was sent to do this good job?" Tian Weicheng's focus was entirely on the second half.
"Well...the leaders are Wang Qianhu and Zhao Qianhu."
Tian Weicheng thought for a while and named two people: "Oh, are they Wang Hu and Zhao Shiqian?"
"yes."
In order to take care of her boss's mood, Zhuo Jing originally didn't want to tell the names of the two people, but when Tian Weicheng inquired so deeply, she couldn't help it.
Sure enough, Tian Weicheng became unhappy: "How can those two losers get such benefits?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
. I really can't envy you for such a great achievement. "
Don’t blame Tian Qianhu for speaking harshly. According to the endorsement in the book, Wang Hu and Zhao Shiqian are indeed people with little talent and little knowledge, and their kung fu is barely adequate, even worse than that of Zhuo Jing. However, the two of them had connections and knew how to work together, so they were able to join Tian Weicheng in a thousand households. They could easily get the easy job of cleaning up trash like this by walking up and down. Tian Weicheng, who had no background, could only stare.
If it had been normal, Tian Weicheng would have swallowed this breath, but recently he has been so unlucky that he has simply entered the Mercury retrograde period. First, a few days ago, Master Wharton was decapitated on his one-third of an acre of land, which made his face dull; and yesterday, Xiling Poison King Gongsun Xiao did not know that his brain was twitched, so he went to Pufu came and completely ruined his plan.
The appearance of Gongsun Xiao caught Tian Weicheng off guard, and the original plan had to be scrapped and restarted. Because there is such a master of poisoning who is known as the "Poison King", Tian Weicheng's plan to poison the food in the Pu Mansion was foiled without a single blow. . In front of such a person, adding medicine to his food is basically equivalent to alerting the enemy. There is no other way. In tonight's battle, Lao Tian still has to fight hard with a knife.
They are both members of the Jinyi Guards. On one side, gold and blood torture bronze, and on the other side, kings fight each other. Comparing the two sides, Tian Weicheng must be having a thankless job. Let's all put ourselves in their shoes. If it were you, how could you not feel resentful towards Wang and Zhao and hate Gongsun Xiao so much?
But then again, there are indeed reasons why Tian Weicheng was appointed as the Pufu garrison by Jin Yiwei instead of being entrusted with important military duties. For example, he is illiterate.
Tian Qianhu's clumsiness in reading and writing makes people wonder if all of this guy's talent points in learning are allocated to martial arts talent. No matter how the teacher taught him, he just couldn't learn to read, let alone write official documents and reports, he couldn't even read them. Even Yue Kuohai was troubled by the fact that he had an illiterate subordinate who was very good at fighting but could not communicate using words. Otherwise, the carrier pigeon that delivered the news would not have had to fly to Zhuo Jing first, and then the latter would dictate the report to Tian Weicheng.
"That's all."
After all, Tian Weicheng is a martial arts expert with extraordinary character. After a long sigh, his mood returned to normal: "If the actions tonight are performed well, the merits may not be worse than those of Wang Hu and Zhao Shiqian."
"Your Majesty is so generous, I admire you." Zhuo Jing took advantage of every opportunity and complimented her.
Tian Weicheng was also impressed by his subordinate's high emotional intelligence speech: "Okay, let's not mention it in advance. By the way, is there any news about Deputy Ambassador Lin?"
Zhuo Jing's tone instantly dropped by half a degree: "Sir, it's not yet..."
"This is really strange. The Pu chariot attendant is unexpectedly good at running away and hiding. Even Deputy Lin's Qinggong, which is unparalleled in the world, cannot catch up."
It was impossible for Tian Weicheng to think that Lin He had been killed by Yun Ming and Pu Che Shi, and he didn't dare to think about it, but Zhuo Jing on the side had this in mind.
Whether it was last week or this week, Zhuo Jing is the NPC who has the most dealings with Yun Ming. Among the indigenous people in the world of the book, who has the deepest understanding of Yun Ming's "difficulty", then it is undoubtedly her.
"I'm afraid the problem has nothing to do with the Puche Attendant, but the storyteller named Yun Ming..." Zhuo Jing thought to herself.
A few days ago on the timeline of the world in the book, which was Yun Ming's last time travel, Zhuo Jing was deeply impressed by the "strange skills" and sketching skills he displayed: "Yun Ming is too I can’t figure it out, if he had helped Pu Chai Chai, Deputy Ambassador Lin might have made a mistake..."
…………
At midnight, "Jade Smoke Sword" Xue Yuxin was still holding the sword and flying on the eaves of Fucai Fang. Her body was so light and her steps were so brisk, it seemed that even the moonlight above her head was slow.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
She took one step at a time.
Xue Yuxin was not being chased by anyone, nor was she actively chasing others. She was following the strong smell of blood in the air.
As the saying goes: Curiosity killed the cat. It is naturally impossible for Xue Yuxin to know this Western proverb, but she has heard of admonitions with similar meanings. However, even when she was alone, Xue Yuxin still had the courage to explore the source of blood energy.
What supports her fearlessness is strength.
Xue Yuxin comes from the Xue family, the sixth generation in the south of the Yangtze River. Although she is a female, she is the strongest among the new generation of martial artists in the Xue family. She has already learned the essence of the "Purple Qi East Sword Art" passed down from her family. With a jade smoke sword, Xue Yuxin was able to become one of the top martial arts masters. In terms of swordsmanship, she should be above Liu Dafu, the swordsman of Feiliu Sword Sect, and slightly below Xiang Qingfeng, the eldest of the three youths of the Xiang family, "Langya Swordsman".
"The smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger, which means I'm looking in the right direction." Xue Yuxin sniffed the breeze and discerned the direction: "Such a pungent smell, no matter how much blood a person bleeds, he can't smell it. , it can only be caused by multiple corpses spreading out at the same time."
"And... it has to be a method of death like dismembering the body by five horses, so that all the blood in a person's body can flow out instead of being deposited in the body..."
Thinking of this, Xue Yuxin held the Jade Smoke Sword in her hand tighter. She was indeed a little scared. This was an instinctive reaction to the "unknown" and had nothing to do with courage.
"This is it." Soon, Xue Yuxin followed the scent and came to the door of a decent-sized residence. This type of mansion with a moderate floor area is generally the residence chosen by wealthy families with a well-off family background.
This is undoubtedly the scene of the murder, because the strong smell of blood in the air has made Xue Yuxin almost unbearable. Some people believe that there is a slaughterhouse or meat processing factory behind the door.
"There was no movement, not even breathing. There was no living person inside, let alone a murderer." Xue Yuxin was equally confident in her own ear skills. Even if she was sure that the person behind the door was empty, she still held her 120 points in her arms. With great vigilance, he carefully climbed up the wall and entered this dangerous and haunted house.
Under the bright moonlight, Xue Yuxin saw the scene of Shura Hell that she would never forget.
The courtyard was littered with broken limbs, and the walls and floor were covered with splatters of flesh and blood. Fragments of several different weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds were scattered everywhere, remaining in the same dead state as their owners. Even the human heads were incomplete. Xue Yuxin just glanced at them and found several corpses with the upper parts of their heads missing. Their Tianling Caps were probably still soaked in blood.
Xue Yuxin suppressed her physical discomfort and was trying hard to slowly accept this brutal murder scene. Gradually calming down, she looked at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in front of her, and soon found something - a string of bloody footprints extending from the ground to the eaves. This was obviously left by the murderer, announcing his/her path of departure.
"When I first came in and saw this scene, I thought it was just a fight between two groups, and one side was completely wiped out. Unexpectedly, one of the groups was not a "group" at all, but "a person"..."
This result is indeed shocking, but Xue Yuxin believes that with her first-class strength, it is not difficult to fight against dozens of people; and "removing the human body into eight pieces in battle", Xue Yuxin can also do it , but she will definitely not do this.
Therefore, Xue Yuxin mentally labeled the mysterious murderer as "brutal", "bloodthirsty", "crazy" and "not particularly strong". Feeling relieved, she decided to look for other clues.
However, after she suppressed the cramps in her stomach and briefly inspected the sixteen corpses in the hospital, Xue Yuxin suddenly discovered a fact that she could not believe:
The strength of that mysterious murderer is probably many times, or even ten times, greater than mine.
