Zhao Qing looked at the lean and lean Mr. Xiao again and had some suspicions in his mind. But I still need to ask Shui Sheng a few questions to get accurate information.
She poked the Shui Dai next to her and said, "Since Mr. Xiao believes in the kind of person I am, it doesn't matter if I let Miss Shui come out to meet her elders. A wicked person who can collude with the Blood Knife Ancestor , every one of us can’t wait to kill him on the spot.”
"Yes, Shui has not seen his daughter for many days. Commander-in-Chief, you also have a wife and children. I hope you can be more considerate of Shui's anxious heart." Shui Dai clasped his fists and said sincerely.
Lu Tianshu and Hua Tiegan on the side also opened their mouths to respond.
"It's actually not that important to meet up with me. The short spear of Master Su Wenhua is known as the 'invincible medium'. I have competed with many martial arts practitioners in the past, and I know that I am no match."
Xiao Fulu took two iron whips from the hands of his subordinate military attachés, put his hands in a posture and said: "But today I saw that Hua Daxia was injured, and his martial arts is no longer what it used to be. I am not talented, so I would like to use the 'Hu Yan Shi' method passed down by my master. Eight whips', try the power of Zhongping Spear."
"If Hua Daxia wins, it means that I am unable to resist your efforts, then it would not be considered dereliction of duty to let Miss Shui come out to meet you."
"'Eighteen Whips'? The purpose of the Commander-in-Chief is probably to practice the last move of 'breaking ten spears with one whip' through sparring with Hua." Hua Tiegan's face darkened, and he looked out of his robes. He took out his stainless steel short spear and held it in his left hand. The original decadent aura was gone.
"Second Brother Hua, you... why don't you let me take action for you, Second Brother?" Shui Dai was worried that Hua Tiegan's defeat at the hands of the opponent would aggravate his sense of loss because his martial arts skills were half useless, so he couldn't help but persuade him.
Hua Tiegan interrupted: "No need, even if your second brother has a broken arm, he can still show off his skills and defeat powerful enemies with a gun."
Zhao Qing thought secretly that although General Xiao had the purpose of challenging Hua Tiegan, the weakest among the crowd, to break through his own martial arts skills, he also undoubtedly had the intention of preventing the few of him from meeting each other.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qing looked intently at Xiao Fulu and Hua Tiegan, ready to show off their tactics.
The two sides quickly became involved. The two iron whips in Xiao Fulu's hands were both longer than Hua Tiegan's short spear and several minutes heavier, giving him a huge advantage over the weapon.
Due to Hua Tiegan's physical disability, there were many inconveniences in changing his moves. After a dozen moves, the short spear in his hand began to frequently intersect with the two iron whips, making a "clanging" collision sound.
When he was just recovering from a serious injury, Hua Tiegan's face began to turn pale when he had a head-on collision with someone, and beads of sweat rolled down his face. He could only rely on his actual combat experience to maintain the tie between the two sides, and at the same time, he made dangerous moves and tried to Win with skill.
However, the "Eighteen Huyan Whips" used by Xiao Fulu were passed down by Hu Yanzan, a great general of the Northern Song Dynasty. On the battlefield, no matter whether it was a false move or a strong whip, Hua Tiegan's repeated tricks could not deceive the opponent.
After more than a hundred moves, Xiao Fulu was seen using the "sweeping thousands of armies" move. The iron whip was placed on the short spear, making a "dang" sound, and the two sides became deadlocked. This is a competition of internal strength.
If Hua Tiegan had not yet received his merits, his skills would naturally be far superior to Xiao Fulu's; but now that he had a broken arm and lost his vitality due to old age, he was no longer a match for him. His somewhat old left arm couldn't help but tremble, and sweat dripped down his face.
Seeing that Hua Tiegan was about to be defeated, Zhao Qing swung around and came between the two of them, holding a short spear in his left hand and an iron whip in his right hand. With such force, the weapons stuck the two together with their internal strength. The birthplace is divided.
Hua Tiegan let go of his short spear and took two steps back, but Xiao Fulu took five or six steps back and finally sat down on the ground. This is Zhao Qing's clever trick to make Hua Tiegan "win". In this way, the "sufficiency" between the two has been divided.
Seeing Zhao Qing's supernatural power, Hua Tiegan and Xiao Fulu couldn't help but be shocked. Lu Tianshu and Shui Dai were also quite surprised.
Hua Tiegan had actually always had the idea that Zhao Qing could defeat the Blood Knife Ancestor by taking advantage of the fact that he had consumed the opponent's internal energy, but at this moment, he was truly convinced and felt a little more grateful. color.
Xiao Fulu had always known that Zhao Qing was the "number one" expert in the world who was rumored to have defeated the Blood Knife Ancestor. However, the opponent easily separated himself from the internal strength competition with Hua Tiegan, but his skill was beyond his expectation. .
Glancing at Zhao Qing's calm face, Xiao Fulu said: "Since I was defeated by Hua Daxia, I should fulfill my promise and let Miss Shui come out to meet you."
…
When Shui Sheng came out, there were two faint tears on her face, and there was an obvious look of exhaustion around her eyes. It seemed that she had not had adequate rest for a long time.
Shui Dai finally saw his daughter and knew that she had never suffered like this before. He couldn't help but rush forward and gently hugged Shui Sheng. The father and daughter hugged each other and cried.
After the two of them vented their emotions, Zhao Qing began to carefully inquire about Shui Sheng's experience in the past two days.
Just as she expected, the evidence that Shui Sheng heard about "the collaboration between the Blood Knife Ancestor and Ling Tuisi" was actually overheard while her eyes were blindfolded.
The Blood Knife Ancestor said something, and Ling Tuisi's men responded. The two were talking about how to deal with and divide Liancheng's treasures in the future.
In addition, Shui Sheng also mentioned the name Qi Changfa, saying that she met Qi Changfa who lived in seclusion in the west of the city. He gave in on the spot under the threat of the Blood Knife Ancestor, and was later injured by the Blood Knife Ancestor. He probably took the opportunity to escape.
Qi Changfa? Zhao Qing thought carefully about the perjury Shui Sheng heard, and couldn't help but think of Wan Zhenshan's false accusation of Qi Changfa hurting someone.
In the room, Wan Zhenshan suddenly restrained Qi Changfa, and then played two roles, performing a drama in which Qi Changfa "stabbed" himself after admitting the crime. Outside the room, even Qi Changfa's apprentice's daughter believed the "facts" fabricated by Wan Zhenshan.
And in this matter, outsiders also heard two people talking, causing them to identify false "facts". How similar are they?
Wan Zhenshan is already dead, and it is entirely possible that Qi Changfa will learn to imitate his senior brother's behavior after being tricked.
As for the reason why he made up the theory that Ling Tuisi colluded with the Blood Knife Ancestor, he probably wanted to eliminate multiple uses in one plan. While taking revenge on the Blood Knife Ancestor, he also wanted to remove a major obstacle in front of the treasure.
The alliance between the righteous people and the government was more than enough to overthrow Ling Tuisi, a local snake in the Jingzhou area; and the Blood Knife Patriarch, even if he succeeded in killing Nan Siqi, would not have the ability to confront the imperial court head-on. He could only Leave Jingzhou.
Zhao Qing has figured out the truth of the matter, but the key thing is, how to solve it?
At this moment, Qi Changfa might be hiding in an inconspicuous corner of Jingzhou City, or even escaped from the city. It would be extremely difficult to catch him.
It seems that we can only search slowly. He still had to deal with the siege of Ling Mansion first.
…
In the evening, someone from the Ling Mansion told the army outside the truth that Ling Tuisi had been killed more than a month ago.
And a dead person naturally has no ability to collude with the Blood Knife Ancestor.
Xiao Fulu sent someone to dig out Ling Tuisi's coffin, opened it and inspected it, confirming his death. At the same time, a "handwritten letter" written by Ling Tuisi, which was used as physical evidence, was also tested and found to be inconsistent with the handwriting of the real person.
Few people know that Qi Changfa was actually a man full of poetry and proficient in literature. In the letters he forged, the words were elegant and the words were beautiful. Unless someone knew Ling Tuisi personally, it would be difficult to tell them apart.
The evidence fabricated by Qi Changfa fooled a lot of people into thinking.
But what Zhao Qing expected was that Xiao Fulu already knew that the Ling Tuisi collusion case was false, but his choice was not to send an order to arrest Zhao Qing and others who wanted to kill the prefect, but to conceal the news.
The reason is simple. Reporting the wrong case to superiors is a bad thing that can cause someone to be demoted or demoted.
Considering that Zhao Qing and others who were familiar with the matter obviously would not take the initiative to publicize it, Xiao Fulu followed the rules of the officialdom and accused the dead Ling Tuisi.
In the south of the city, there is a remote courtyard.
Di Yun opened the courtyard door and walked alone to the alley outside.
Qi Fang did not come out with him. Now, she was changing Ling Shuanghua's medicine according to Zhao Qing's instructions in advance.
Di Yun has lived an unprecedented happy life for more than a month, and he is naturally quite happy and satisfied. Compared with the miserable life in prison before, he seemed to be in heaven.
But sometimes, he also misses the past days in the countryside with his master and Fangmei. At that time, I didn't understand the conspiracy and darkness in the world, so I lived purely and naturally.
To Di Yun's regret, the last time he saw his master was several years ago. Qi Changfa's face was already quite blurry in his mind. No matter how hard he tried to recall, he could not get even half of it clearly.
But at this moment, Di Yun suddenly completely remembered Qi Changfa's face.
Because the real person of Qi Changfa is now standing in front of him.
"Master?!" Di Yun blurted out.
Qi Changfa looked at his apprentice whom he had not seen for many years, a bright smile appeared on his old face, and he shouted happily: "Yun'er, it's you."
It turned out that after Qi Changfa set up a plan to deal with Ling Tuisi, he lurked in the Ling Mansion and prepared to leave after seeing the officers and soldiers surrounding the Ling Mansion.
As a coincidence, he actually saw Ding Dian, Di Yun and others leaving Ling Mansion from a distance.
Ding Dian's movement was too fast, and Ling Shuanghua passed by in a flash, and Qi Changfa didn't recognize it at all; but Di Yun and Qi Fang were much slower, and he recognized Qi Fang's identity.
After not seeing each other for many years, Di Yun had even forgotten Qi Changfa's specific appearance, let alone someone with a cold nature like Qi Changfa?
It was only because he had always suspected that Qi Fang had stolen his sword manual and kept it in his mind, and even drew some pictures to assist his memory, that he was able to recognize Qi Fang's appearance at a glance.
Looking at Di Yun and Qi Fang leaving together, Qi Changfa was overjoyed and knew that he was not far away from the treasure. He quickly followed Di Yun and Qi Fang secretly to the small courtyard in the south of the city.
Worried about Ding Dian's superb skills, he hid outside the small courtyard and waited until Di Yun finally came out alone.
"Yun'er, after such a long absence, your appearance has changed a lot. Come here quickly and let Master take a closer look!" Qi Changfa suppressed his ecstasy and excitement and raised his hand towards Di Yun.
