After talking for a while, but unable to figure out an idea, Ma Hu simply stopped talking and changed the topic.
"Well, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about you, Junior Brother Qian, you have been very popular recently!"
"Oh?" Hearing this Qian Chao smiled and asked, "What does Senior Brother Ma know?"
"I heard that you rescued Chen Xian outside and gave the boy named Xie You a good beating, right?"
"Well, yes, there is such a thing."
"Shang Jie also said after he came back that he owed you a huge favor, right? I heard that boy got into trouble with a sword nun and was beaten badly. It was you who saved him."
"It can't be me. It was my brother Li, who also belongs to Mu Xiufeng. He took action to stop the female swordsman."
"Oh, it's that boy, no wonder." Ma Hu naturally remembered Li Jian, and Li Jian's sword also chilled him. "Did Zhao Zhe also bully you and make you repair it badly?"
"Zhao Zhe?" Qian Chao didn't know this name. That was the last time. After they beat each other away, they met Cheng Qantang.
"I heard about this from Xiao Xian. Oh, I heard that Cheng Qantang was also there at the time."
"Oh, that time, I guess. It turned out that the man who wanted to rob us was named Zhao Zhe. He didn't say his name at the time."
"Haha, good job, Junior Brother Qian. Isn't it great to be a gangster? You can earn a lot more than working as an errand in the Jingshiyuan!"
Black and white?
Qian Chao quickly corrected him: "Senior Brother Ma, we are not trying to steal from the underworld. It was those guys who had our idea in the first place."
"Ha! You robbed them anyway, right?"
Qian Chao was helpless. After all, they didn't let those guys go every time. They took all the storage bags from him. If you look at it this way, it really seems like they are trying to steal the money.
Ma Hu added: "It may not be considered a crime to eat someone else's, but it is correct to say that you are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers."
Nodding, Qian Chao recognized this guy who was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but why only three times? It should obviously be four times. That time someone just watched the fun and didn't do anything, and that time he didn't take any action and kept dealing with three Luo Chong beasts. Why didn't Senior Brother Ma know?
"Senior Brother Ma, if you have a fight with someone outside and neither party mentions it when you come back, can anyone know about it?"
"It depends on how the fight is going to be. If both parties are fine and have no injuries at all, and neither party mentions it, naturally no one will know about it. But if they are injured, even if they don't say anything, people will At least they will know that they were beaten up by others outside, well, especially those who are usually hated by others. If they come back to the sect with wounds all over their body, the news will spread very quickly!"
Qian Chao was a little confused after hearing this. Although he didn't take action that time, there were four people, not three, who did it. The one that Sister Yan dealt with was later handed over to Brother Lu. Brother Li, Brother Lu and Girl Tang took those four The personal repairs were very miserable, but why didn't you hear the news? Don’t you even know this Senior Brother Ma?
"Senior Brother Ma, it's a bit strange to say this. Is it possible that there are still people who are afraid of losing face and recuperating outside the sect? This time we went out to fight with others four times in total, and you only said it three times. Alas, the four times that time One person was beaten the worst by us. Well, one person's palms were pierced by Brother Li's sword, his shoulder was also stabbed by Brother Li's sword, and his leg was also pierced in several places. Hmm... Tang The man Ping dealt with had all his bones broken by her. There were two others whose faces were badly beaten by Brother Lu. Those injuries could be seen at a glance and they would not heal for at least a while. , why didn’t this matter spread within the sect? Even Senior Brother Ma knew about the last time we dealt with Zhao Zhe, but no one knew about what happened before. Isn’t it a bit strange?”
Ma Hu was also surprised and said: "Was the beating so severe? This is a bit strange. I didn't hear about this in the sect. Who are you dealing with?"
Qian Chao said: "We were dealing with monsters at that time. There were five people in total, but only four took action. The four people who took action were all intermediate-level cultivations, and the one who didn't take action was high-level. Brother Ma, what I am most curious about is that time. That guy with a high level of cultivation kept watching the four guys who came with him were beaten up, and just watched, but he had no intention of taking action from the beginning to the end. In the end Tang Ping asked him, he just said he was there to watch the fun, do you think it’s strange?”
"This is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing. Who is the guy who didn't do anything? Do you recognize him?" Ma Hu asked.
"I don't recognize him, but..." Qian Chao said as he took out the portrait he drew and handed it to Ma Hu. "This is the person who has been watching the fun. Brother Ma, let's see if he recognizes him?"
Ma Hu took the portrait and looked at Qian Chao first, as if he was guessing whether the painting was painted by Qian Chao. Then he stared at the person on the paper carefully, looked closer for a while, and then looked again He put it on the desk and looked at it from a distance. At first, his eyes were a little confused, then he thought about it, and finally he seemed to remember something, pointed at the paper with his hand, and said:
"Remember! I said he looks so familiar. Well, I'm not familiar with this kid. I've heard others talk about it, and I've met it a few times, but I've never interacted with him. His name is Yan Jing, oh, not Jingcheng. It's not a shock, but a panic, Yan is Yan Zi's Yan. It hasn't been long since Yan Jing's cultivation reached a high level, and people always say that this kid got where he is today with the help of others."
Finally I know this person's name.
"Yan Jing" Qian Chao repeated the name. However, Ma Hu said that Yan Jing had achieved his current level with the help of others. Qian Chao immediately thought of the Li Lihua that Shen Weilie mentioned. , couldn't help but feel moved in my heart.
"Senior Brother Ma, what is Yan Jing like as a person? Whose help did he get to achieve what he is today?"
"Hey, Yan Jing, this person is somewhat similar to the businessman you rescued. He is very stubborn, but compared to the businessman, he is more withdrawn. Look at the businessman, there are always people around him to help him. Now, he is quite popular, but Yan Jing can't keep people around him. He likes to be alone and doesn't have many friends. Well... I really haven't heard of anything he has done or heard of! As for what he is How to break through to the advanced level of Qi refining, this matter is only spread by others. I have never cared about this person, and I only heard it from others accidentally. It is said that after Yan Jing met a person, he It was only with that person's help that I achieved my current level of cultivation. His cultivation was not a mess at first, but he was definitely not an outstanding person."
When talking about this, Ma Hu asked:
"You said he was with four other people when he met Yan Jing. Who were those four people?"
Qian Chao was stunned, then said wait a moment, took out a pen and paper, and started drawing in front of Ma Hu.
He did not draw all the four people, but only the face of the guy who fought with Li Jian, because he felt that among the four people, the one who fought with Li Jian was the leader.
The painting was completed in just a few strokes, and what appeared on the paper was a slightly cunning and cunning face. After gently blowing the ink dry on the paper, Qian Chao handed the paper in his hand to Ma Hu.
Ma Hu took it, looked at Qian Chao strangely, and said, "I didn't expect that Junior Brother Qian's painting skills are also first-rate."
This time Ma Hu only glanced at it casually, then put the piece of paper on the table, snorted and said:
"Is this Wang Zhongzhong? He is a talisman, a loyal Zhong. This guy, it turns out that he also suffered a loss in your hands?"
"Exactly, while the five of us were dealing with the monsters, they wanted to steal our spiritual grass. This man should be the leader of the four. Brother Li pierced his palms, stabbed his shoulders, and was also wounded on his legs. A few stabs."
"Hmph! He deserves it. This guy also suffered a loss in my hands. Yes, there were indeed four of them when they came out. They gave me a good beating and gave me a clean snatch, but they didn't want to repent. Still doing this kind of thing outside.”
"Senior Brother Ma, you said that Yan Jing is a withdrawn person who likes to be alone. Then why is he hanging out with Wang Yizhong?"
"Well, it seems that this Wang Yizhong and this Yan Jing entered the sect together, and maybe they have known each other since then. You see, you have done something before, and you have seen Wang Yizhong's cultivation level, mid-level His cultivation and skills are pretty good among mid-level monks, but Yan Jing is at least much higher than him in cultivation, but... they shouldn't be mixed together, right?"
Qian Chao said: "That's right. At the end of that time, we asked Yan Jing if he wanted to do something too. He said that he and Wang Yizhong just met outside the clan to see the excitement."
Ma Hu thought for a while and said: "A chance encounter may be true, but when it comes to watching the excitement, even if a lonely and lonely person wants to watch it, he should look at it from a distance and then turn around and leave, like It's a little strange that he looks at it so openly. It's not surprising that Wang Yizhong wants to rob you, he is that kind of person, but he did it in front of Yan Jing, and Yan Jing's cultivation level is higher than him , they must have discussed it with Yan Jing first, and Yan Jing not only allowed them to do this, but also watched them while they were doing it. Even when Wang Yizhong missed his hand and was beaten, he just watched and did not take action. Well, actually It’s really fun to watch, but it’s more about your methods, Junior Brother Qian, could it be that you guys are being watched?”
Qian Chao did not answer Ma Hu's question. Although he had already had this idea in his mind, now it seems that Yan Jing's practice is very similar to that of Li Lihua, and it involves life and death. Although he still trusts Ma Hu, But still don't want to tell everything.
"How do we know that? Is it possible that Han Tian still has some friendship with Yan Jing?" Qian Chao said.
"No, I've never heard of it. Han Tian has been coaxing Wen Zhang to do whatever he wants. I've never heard of Yan Jing having any contact with Han Tian."
"Then...Senior Brother Ma, is there really no news about the person who helps Yan Jing practice?"
"It's just passed down among the disciples. I don't know if it's true or not, but you see, Yan Jing and Wang Yizhong entered the sect together. Wang Yizhong is now the middle-level one, while Yan Jing is already the high-level one. , maybe it’s because Yan Jing’s cultivation has improved a bit faster than he should have originally, so people say this. Well, it’s possible that guy Wang Yizhong believed these words, and maybe he met Yan Jing outside. , then shamelessly entangled him, thinking that maybe I could take advantage."
"But, according to what Senior Brother Ma said before, the four guys Wang Yizhong were injured by us. Why doesn't anyone in the sect know about it until now?"
"Well, it's impossible to heal outside the clan. How long have you been dealing with Wang Yizhong?"
"It's been more than twenty days now. Zhao Zhe's time was the last time we took action outside the sect."
"It's been more than twenty days..." Ma Hu pondered, and gave Qian Chao one last look, and said, "Perhaps Wang Yizhong and those people are no longer here. They are probably dead. Otherwise, it would be impossible for people to even see Wang Yizhong now." He didn’t even know what happened when Zhong was beaten. Huh, the one who is most likely to attack is this Yan Jing! If you put it this way, Junior Brother Qian, you may really be being targeted. Wang Yizhong is just It was used by others to show you your methods. After using it, you don’t want to keep these burdens. It is normal to kill him casually. The killing was so decisive. Junior Brother Qian, do you want me to find an opportunity to capture that Yan Jing? One question?"
Qian Chao shook his head gently. The one he was about to deal with was Li Lihua, who had agreed to Shen Weizai. This matter had not been discussed with Tang Ping, and he always felt that Li Lihua had nothing to do with this Yan. There is some connection between Yan Jing and Jing. Although we can't see through it now, we might be able to get something from Li Lihua in the future. As for Yan Jing, there is no need to scare the snake for now. We can inquire about this person from all aspects and then discuss it with Tang Ping. After a while, she should have a way to check again in the sect.
"Senior Brother Ma understands his kindness. It doesn't have to be like this for now. If someone really wants to deal with us, it will be easier for us to start with Han Tian. Even if Han Tian has nothing to do with Yan Jing, but So far, the few of us have only severely offended Han Tian. If someone plots against us, he must have something to do with him, and Tang Ping can do this."
Ma Hu nodded and said: "Yes, that's right. If that girl wants to do something, she can indeed find a lot of helpers."
Thinking of this, Qian Chao suddenly thought of his unspoken plan just now. He now felt that Senior Brother Ma in front of him might not have thought of this method. He might have already begun to prepare it, but he just didn't say it out loud, so he said again:
"Although what Senior Brother Ma has been doing seems unclear, Junior Brother, I always feel that it is about to reach the critical point. Those same words, I told Senior Brother Ma before, those who dare to kill Senior Brother Xun may not necessarily Dare to attack Senior Brother Ma. If Senior Brother Ma pushes them into a hurry, or does something that those people think is a threat, then they may be disadvantageous to Senior Brother Ma. If the investigation continues, Senior Brother Ma must do more. Just be careful.”
"Don't worry," Ma Hu said tacitly, "I know that matter well."
