Not an outsider?
Everyone was surprised when they heard Jiang Shangxiu's answer.
Chen Qing frowned slightly, turned to look at the ground, and carefully looked at Mu Qing, who had passed out.
As an elder from Hidden Valley Quanfu, it can be said that he knows many more people in Hidden Valley than the other elders. Chen Qing tried hard to find some faces in his memory, but after comparing Mu Qing's face, he could Eliminate immediately.
This made Chen Qing frown even deeper. He looked at Jiang Shangxiu with doubts in his eyes and said, "If you want to save this person, I'm afraid you have to find a better excuse. If this person is really from the Hidden Valley, with his strength, I will never be unimpressed."
Jiang Shangxiu's eyes were a little enlightened, and he explained unhurriedly: "The third elder has been in charge of Quan Mansion for many years, and he does know a lot of people. But just like Jiang has his successors, we also have newcomers."
Jiang Shangxiu's words reminded Chen Qing and reminded him of some things he had recently learned from his younger brother Chen Zhuo. Among them was a fledgling boy who had some relationship with Ten Thousand Flowers Valley. However, although that person had some talent, he was only a third-grade second-grade man. With his strength, it is impossible that he could be this person?
Everyone was standing in a triangle formation. Just as Chen Qing was thinking, Jiang Shangxiu's feet moved again, getting closer and closer to Mu Qing's position.
With a "buzz" sound, the Snow King Sword in Bai Hu's hand trembled slightly. He stood next to Li Muqing's head. Whether it was a kick or a sword, he seemed to be sure of victory, but he looked at Jiang Shangxiu His eyes became colder and colder, "You can try to see if you can save him again."
"What do you want to do?" Chen Qing was also approaching Bai Hu at this time.
At this time, Murong Xing, who was completely like an outsider, was still standing on the same spot, looking at Jiang Shangxiu with quite unexpected eyes.
Although he had known Jiang Shangxiu for a long time, he probably underestimated him.
Because Bai Hu's warning at this time seemed redundant, and it also clearly meant telling Murong Xing one thing: Jiang Shangxiu was the person who could threaten Bai Hu at this time.
At least for now, and since Chen Qing failed to find the ambush White Tiger, it proves that even though the White Tiger seems to be seriously injured, it is still much stronger than Chen Qing. This makes Murong Xing, who has clearly analyzed the powerful relationship, feel in his heart. I began to have the slightest suspicion. Was he just dawdling in his previous practice? Why are all the juniors and juniors now almost on an equal footing with me?
Jiang Shangxiu did not take action rashly. He stood three feet away from the white tiger and said softly: "This person's name is Mu Qing in the willow leaves. He is the third-ranked assassin next to the name of Hidden Valley."
"Third on the talent list?" Bai Hu asked dullly.
Chen Qing came to his senses and said in surprise: "Is this person really Na Mu Qing?"
Jiang Shangxiu nodded and smiled: "Since the third elder has an impression of him, I won't explain more."
Bai Hu raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Qing. Chen Qing's tone was still a little uncertain and said: "I know Mu Qing. If this person is really Mu Qing, then the motive would make sense, because Mu Qing's sister is in Wanhua Valley. Zhong Xiuxian is the youngest disciple next to Huaifenghua."
Chen Qing changed the topic, "But from the information collected and summarized in Hidden Valley, Mu Qing is only qualified to be promoted to the third level. It is because he has the strength of the second level, so I still have some impressions."
Jiang Shangxiu answered smoothly: "This is also the information I have learned, but it is obvious that this kid has hidden it very deeply."
Jiang Shangxiu glanced at Mu Qing on the ground. Thinking of what he saw tonight, his eyes flashed a few times, but his voice did not reveal the slightest emotion: "This kid has just completed his first mission. At this time, he should stay In Suzaku City, or to complete the next task assigned to him by Shopkeeper Chen, I didn’t expect that he would come back.”
His younger brother had a connection with Jiang Shangxiu that he didn't know about. Chen Qing quickly suppressed the first thought that came to his mind and said coldly: "Because of the incident in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, were you prepared to protect him from the beginning?"
"Yes." Jiang Shangxiu said bluntly: "I took a fancy to this boy's talent, so I deliberately kept him away from the whirlpool of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley."
"I didn't expect this kid to surprise me."
Jiang Shangxiu made his words clear. When he spoke, he never looked at Bai Hu's injuries. But because of this, Bai Hu did not try to drop the Snow King Sword in his hand again.
Only Bai Hu, who is at the peak of Hidden Valley's strength, knows that Jiang Shangxiu looks similar to Chen Qing. He is good at maneuvering and communicating, and seems to have fallen behind in practice. But in fact, he was able to save people with his sword at the critical moment just now. It already explains some things.
"Mr. Bai Hu, since this person is an assassin that I have trained since childhood in Hidden Valley, do you think he is keeping someone under the sword?" Jiang Shangxiu looked at Bai Hu, his posture was low, and his tone was very sincere.
Chen Qing frowned at this time and said: "Even if this person is really Mu Qing, not to mention that Yin Gu has trained him since childhood, but he deliberately concealed his strength from Yin Gu. He just said that he killed Lei Dian. For this alone, he It’s also hard to survive.”
Bai Hu looked at Chen Qing, who was still a little angry. It seemed that this person hadn't figured out the real situation yet. This made Bai Hu realize something. He glanced at the boy at his feet. Jiang Shangxiu was really well hidden on weekdays. Deep, are you admiring a junior like him tonight?
Seeing that Bai Hu remained silent and just glanced at the guy on the ground who looked like a dead dog, Chen Qing finally realized that he was probably basing his judgment on people's problems based on past experience. Murong Xing didn't want to embarrass his friend, so he said : "If my memory is not confusing, it seems that Lei Dian almost killed the other party's sister, but was hammered to death by him in a rage."
At this time, Jiang Shangxiu bowed his hands to Murong Xing and saluted: "I have heard about the name of Second Young Master Murong for a long time, and it is a pity that I only see him today."
Murong Xing smiled and said: "It's a pity. It's a pity that I couldn't make friends with Shang Xiu at the beginning, so I couldn't let Shang Xiu do things for me."
The two just had a brief exchange of words. Jiang Shangxiu turned to look at Chen Qing and explained: "What Murong Stall said is a reason. I have another reason here. I believe that whether it is the Third Elder or the Mr. Baihu will agree."
Jiang Shangxiu said with glaring eyes: "The value of a guy who wastes countless resources just to survive is far lower than that of a young man with only a third-level cultivation level."
Jiang Shangxiu spoke the words "Third Grade Cultivation" very clearly. Bai Hu frowned slightly. Only then did he remember that the previous fight was so sudden. He had always regarded the boy at his feet as an opponent of the same level, but he didn't. Have thought about this issue.
Jiang Shangxiu's voice continued. He looked around the crowd and said: "Until this kid was defeated by Mr., he had never shown the aura of a high-level realm. Jiang can be sure of this, but even a third-grade guy defeated A fisherman in the early stages of transcendence.”
Chen Qing was shocked when he thought about it carefully. The serious discrepancy between realm and strength was something that could have been easily discovered, but this kid was often too powerful when he made moves, which made people ignore this matter.
Judging from his understanding of the Tao, this kid looked like a poison cultivator at first, and then he became an out-and-out sword cultivator. However, the solidity and thickness of the Tao in him was really not enough, and it seemed that he would never need to rely on it. Only with all his powerful energy can he compete with everyone.
But Chen Qing still subconsciously denied Mu Qing's judgment on Mu Qing's realm and said hesitantly: "Don't forget the powerful aura that appeared on his body at the end."
Jiang Shangxiu raised his eyebrows. In fact, this was something he wanted to find out, but now he had to report Mu Qing's life first. Just as he was about to speak, Bai Hu lowered his jaw and said, "It was indeed an external force, but this The boy's talent is indeed outstanding, if he can faithfully contribute to Hidden Valley, I can spare his life."
"Here we come." Jiang Shangxiu's eyes lit up, and he secretly thought that he had finally waited for Bai Hu's statement. He quickly handed the ladder to him and said, "Everything that happened tonight can be divided into two things."
Before the Spiritual Mist Array was activated, Jiang Shangxiu came to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers. He was not worried about the influence of the Spiritual Mist Array on him. He had been hiding in the dark and saw many things. At this time, his eyes faintly drifted past Murong Xing and said: "One thing is that Tianshou and Suzaku City intend to occupy the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, and the other branches of our Hidden Valley are waiting to be the fishermen. The other thing is that Mu Qing was concerned about the safety of his relatives and killed Lei by mistake. Code."
"I wonder what Mr. Baihu and the Third Elder think?"
Chen Qing's old face turned red at this time. He had been speaking from the standpoint of Hidden Valley just now, but as long as he and Murong Xing stood together, his position was actually far different. At this time, he looked gloomy. He agreed with a straight face.
Bai Hu turned his eyes slightly and asked with a deep jaw: "You can take the responsibility for the manslaughter for him and temporarily save his life, but how can you guarantee that he will not harbor hatred and rebellion against Hidden Valley because of the incident in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley? "
Bai Hu pointed out the crux of the problem. Mu Qing's talent was very high and indeed had high value. However, such a person was more likely to become Hidden Valley's enemy than to convert it into a value that Hidden Valley could control.
Jiang Shangxiu said directly: "Hidden Valley has its own mature practices. How to treat the distinguished guest on the Tianbang list, my assassin lineage will treat him."
Chen Qing's eyes lit up, knowing that the pill was indeed useful, but Bai Hu shook his head and said: "I think he is a treatment method for those women in Wanhua Valley. This method may not be able to control him."
Jiang Shangxiu was silent for a moment, but he nodded. He smiled and said: "We should really show a little more sincerity when dealing with geniuses, so in addition to low-level methods like using medicine, Hidden Valley is also doing something else. I In fact, I still have to ask these two people here for advice.”
Facing Jiang Shangxiu's gaze, Murong Xing had already guessed what he was going to say. Sure enough, Jiang Shangxiu said in a brisk tone: "As long as you control the girls of Wanhua Valley, you will control him."
"In this world, what is difficult to guess is the human heart, and what is difficult to change is also the human heart. But as long as we make good use of the human heart, many things will become much simpler."
Jiang Shangxiu looked at Bai Hu, "We still have to talk about the Thousand Flowers Valley later, but after this incident, Hidden Valley already has room for control."
"I'm not good at this anymore."
With a "clang", Bai Hu sheathed his sword, looked at the few people who were still here tonight and said, "But I don't think Murong Yin will refuse this outcome. You can talk to him then."
Jiang Shangxiu bowed again, and Bai Hu left his last words when he left: "If he betrays Hidden Valley by then, you'd better bring his head to see me."
