Gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, with a single point, the small white jade-like sword flew towards Mu Qing in an instant.

Zhang Zhiyuan smiled slightly and murmured: "Stop writing and throw chopsticks. Scholars are angry, but they don't kill people."

"But there is a three-foot sword in his hand. If he doesn't kill people, how can he be happy?" He asked and answered himself, and most of the gathered spiritual energy from heaven and earth fell on the real three-foot sword in his hand.

The blade of the sword is turned over, showing off its sharp edge. He swayed and came out with his sword, "You are all young people. Do you really think I don't know you?"

Zhang Zhiyuan doesn't really only know how to educate children. Some city lords have placed hidden stakes around the mud legs, waiting for the big fish to come into the net and catch them all. How could he not know?

The situation has taken a turn for the worse today, and those people can go die.

When Mu Qing was discovered, Zhang Anping had just finished talking to Zhang Zhiyuan about that little thing that should have been ignored.

Some things cannot withstand scrutiny, especially when the enemy deliberately leads this matter. Zhang Zhiyuan is already very interested in the Mu Qing mentioned by his cousin Zhang Anping. Now that he looks at it, he doesn't know that this is a test designed by the city lord's palace. .

It wouldn't matter if Mu Qing killed Zhang Zhiyuan with one sword, but Mu Qing himself really wanted to know the truth. If he came to Mudleg Alley and everything was fine, wouldn't this in turn solidify the relationship between Mu Qing and them? relation?

After seeing Mu Qing's face clearly, Zhang Zhiyuan's mind changed. He was originally thinking that Mu Qing would change his appearance. The city lord's palace specially arranged a test, but then Mu Qing looked like he really wanted to get to the bottom of it, and Zhang Zhiyuan let Zhang Zhiyuan do it instead. The suspicion towards Mu Qing has been reduced a lot.

But now is not a good time to recognize old friends. Zhang Zhiyuan's attitude suddenly changed in the end, and he wanted to pick out Mu Qing first.

Zhang Anping had a good idea. When he went out with the sword, the places he remembered contained a lot of good feelings. There was one person with second-level strength. Fortunately, the opponent did not stop until he died under Zhang Zhiyuan's sword. Unexpectedly, they did not alert the enemy and wanted to catch them all, but Zhang Zhiyuan killed them all by himself.

The sword energy soared into the sky, but it was not directed at him.

Mu Qing walked out from the shadow of a corner and looked at the direction where the sword energy was raging, thoughtfully.

Especially now, when he looked at the gleaming illusory little sword in his palm, he became more and more sure that the other party had good intentions.

The other party used the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to make a sword. This method does not consume his own true energy. It is not unreasonable. Just now, Mu Qing only had one thought in his mind, which was to avoid its sharp edge first. As a result, the Yingying sword caught up with him in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, after the sword caught up with him, it didn't stab him to the core.

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth can last for a long time. In addition to being supported by sword intention, there seems to be another kind of intention."

Mu Qing stared straight at the small sword in his palm, fumbled for a moment, attached it to the dagger body, and left Mudleg Alley without looking back.

Under the eaves behind Liuye Bookstore, Li Fu stood behind Chen Zhuo, looking up at the sky over Nijiuzi Lane, and said cautiously, "It seems there are more than two grades."

"We call it a bookstore, but no one is really a scholar. This person can combine arts and science with swordsmanship. He is a talent." Chen Zhuo smiled slightly, "How long has Bai Hao been staring at this person?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest. The City Lord's Mansion has never given up monitoring that street." Li Negative replied.

Chen Zhuo nodded, "What do you think of the explanation he gave Jiang Shangxiu?"

Li Fu shook his head, looking down on the opponent's intelligence capabilities. "They didn't provide enough evidence at all. They just said they were suspicious." He paused and continued: "But when Mu Qing first entered the city, he was indeed in Mudleg Alley. After pausing for a moment, as for another point, they felt that their appearance was similar."

Over there in Mudleg Alley, after the sword energy soared into the sky, there was a continuous stream of sword energy like a waterfall. Chen Zhuo squinted his eyes for a moment and said: "It is not difficult to understand that after you have silenced someone's whole family, you would rather kill them by mistake than let them go. "

Li Fu said: "What about Mu Qing? I didn't expect that Jiang Shangxiu also fell in love with him."

Chen Zhuo shook his head and said without waiting for hope: "It seems that this game is done. As long as Mu Qing is connected with those remnants, give up."

Li Fu thought of the relationship between the city lord's mansion and the third elder, and nodded calmly.

In the inn, just after Mu Qing had bandaged his wounds, there was a knock on the door.

"Mrs. Wang?" After opening the door, Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the familiar scent of the person coming.

He quickly welcomed her into the house and closed the door, "Why are you here? It's not safe here. Quan Mansion knows I live here."

Wang Yeqing wore a bamboo hat and a veil. After sitting down, he took off the bamboo hat, shook his head and smiled, "Don't be nervous. I just came to find you, so I made sure everyone nearby was watching."

"Besides." She pointed in the direction of Mudleg Alley, "their eyes were attracted to it."

Mu Qing nodded, sat down and sighed. Wang Yeqing landed on Mu Qing's wound and asked straight to the point: "Were you over there just now?"

"Well." Mu Qing didn't hide anything, "I came back this morning and was urged to do a task. I didn't expect that the place was really not simple. I met a first-grade sword cultivator."

Wang Yeqing frowned when he heard this and said: "All real swordsmen are difficult to deal with. If we don't follow the path of swordsmanship, we all choose swords as weapons. It's just like that."

After Mu Qing came back, he was wondering who was luring him into the muddy water in Mudleg Alley.

Uncle Zhang's death that year was a lingering nightmare for him and his sister Zhang Shaoyao.

But if it hadn't been for today's commotion, even he himself wouldn't know that Uncle Zhang might be related to the remnants of the former city lord's mansion. After all, the Mr. Zhang the brother and sister call him looks somewhat similar to Uncle Zhang.

But who is behind this? It seems that it was determined from the beginning that he would be related to people like Zhang Anping?

Thinking of the unpredictable change in Mr. Zhang's attitude at the end, Mu Qing felt astonished, "So you all knew it, and I, the client, only discovered it at the end."

Mu Qing originally thought that Zhang Anping would be involved with Bai Jiahe and his group, but now it seems that he is deeply involved with himself and his sister Shaoyao.

Mu Qing thought aloud, and nodded when Wang Yeqing spoke. His absent-minded look was noticed, and Wang Yeqing frowned and asked, "Is there anything else hidden?"

Mu Qing came back to his senses and looked at Wang Yeqing's clear eyes. On the contrary, he felt embarrassed and slowly told everything that was involved in Zhang Anping, except for his sister Shaoyao's life experience.

"The sword cultivator you mentioned may have recognized you and taken the initiative to establish a relationship for you. There is a high probability that Uncle Zhang when you were a child is related to them." After An Jing listened, Wang Yeqing said to the point.

"I'm pretty sure about it. It's just..."

"But who is your enemy?"

"Well, since they are the remnants of the former City Lord's Mansion and have a clear stance, the current City Lord's Mansion should be considered one, but what about the inside of Hidden Valley? I always thought it was the Assassin lineage, but it turns out..."

Wang Yeqing muttered: "Jiang Shangxiu is indeed protecting you by doing this. Now I have a suggestion. You can go to the bookstore with your injuries. I will follow you from a distance. Now I can only test the bookstore's attitude again. The situation is not right, you Make more noise."

Mu Qing's heart sank, and he nodded and accepted the other party's suggestion. He estimated the time and asked, "It's already noon. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Miss Xiao Tan's place."

There was a hint of sadness in Wang Yeqing's eyes that was well hidden, "I will pay attention to the situation over there in the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley for you. Things must be done step by step. If you want to go to the bookstore, you can be a little angry."

After opening the door of Willow Leaf Bookstore, Li Fu couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes after seeing clearly who was in front of him.

Mu Qing's face was pale, he covered his bleeding arm, snorted, and rushed directly into the bookstore.

Mu Qing entered the bookstore twice, both times in time for lunch. When Chen Zhuo saw that the person who came in was Mu Qing, he smiled and motioned to Li Fu to get the best trauma hemostatic medicine. Mu Qing looked angry and did not accept it, and asked: "You want to get rid of me?"

"You think too highly of yourself." Li Negative frowned and was about to scold him, but Chen Zhuo waved his hand and he immediately stepped aside.

Chen Zhuo said: "You should understand that although Quan Mansion mostly deals with murder, he always considers himself a businessman. What does a businessman value more?"

"Profits." When Chen Zhuo spoke, there was light revealed through the slits of his narrowed eyes, "So you can rest assured that we will not be idle and plot against you."

"Then what if the benefits are big enough?" Mu Qing's eyes were like daggers. "If the benefits are big enough, wouldn't you just do it? Don't forget the letter you left in the inn."

Chen Zhuo was in a relaxed mood, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, and said with a smile: "Yes. We did urge you. But Jiang Shangxiu's letter was also put inside. Didn't Li Fu do this?"

He simply glanced aside, and the temperature in the room instantly dropped a lot. Li Fu, who was hiding in the corner, came out. He lowered his head and didn't speak. He obviously smiled and waved, and Li Fu retreated again.

Obviously, Chen Zhuo trusted his confidants.

Mu Qing said with an ugly face: "The bookstore's approach of trying to please both sides seems to have no position, but if you didn't explain the information to me at the beginning, then it's not targeting me?"

Chen Zhuo glanced at Mu Qing a few more times and said: "You have to know that you are not the only one who has tasks on Liuyelu. We don't have that much time and energy to consider the motives of the guests who hire murderers. Is there any conspiracy behind it?"

"But this time you know each other's plan." Mu Qing said categorically, word for word, leaving no way for him who was confronting Chen Zhuo.

"Then I will explain my words today." Chen Zhuo said with an expressionless face and narrowed his eyes: "Quan Mansion will not specifically target a little guy like you, but businessmen are always prepared with an abacus in their hearts, who will benefit more , you can simply take that as our position."

"You are lucky this time. Your value is seen by Jiang Shangxiu, and the benefits Jiang Shangxiu can provide to Quan Mansion are not weaker than those of guests who double the bounty price."
