At the entrance of Qian's ancestral temple, in front of the black wooden door, a scholar as gentle as jade looked calm.
Standing opposite him, Mr. He couldn't help but feel a hint of horror in the depths of his eyes.
The seventh man of the Qian family, Qian Ye.
He Lao has extensive experience, and she could already hear endless bloodshed from just this self-introduction.
Coming straight at you.
Looking at the gentle Qian Ye in front of him, Mr. He took a breath and asked calmly: "I have dealt with the Qian family a lot earlier, why have I never met Qilang before?"
Qian Ye smiled warmly, bowed his hands and said, "The student was studying in Suzhou earlier. A few days ago, he received a letter from my brother and rushed back to Wuzhou without stopping."
The corners of Mr. He's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
When dealing with the Qian family, how could the Tianyin Sect not investigate everyone in the Qian family? However, even so, they had never found a person named Qian Ye.
Not to mention that this person is now Qian Qilang.
Even Mr. He felt horrified by Qian Zhe's methods.
In the past, only the top aristocratic families would dare to use this method.
But if you think about it carefully, the Qian family in Wuzhou originated from the Qian family in Wuxing.
The Qian family of Wuxing was the queen's mother clan during the Chen Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. Wasn't it the top aristocratic family?
It is not surprising that such a method can be used.
Taking a deep breath to calm down a little, Mr. He said with a serious face: "The reason why I came here is actually for a batch of crossbow arrows that I ordered from the Qian family. I wonder when the Qian family can deliver them?"
"The agreement I made with senior is ten days. Don't worry, senior. After ten days, the things will definitely appear at the agreed place on time. As long as senior brings someone to pick them up on time, he will definitely be able to get the things and return. This is a small amount of credit." We still have a home." Qian Ye raised his head slightly, looking confident.
Seeing this scene, Mr. He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
Yes, Qian will definitely deliver the things to the rendezvous place on time and on time, but the question is whether Tianyin Sect can pick them up on time and on time, that is another matter.
"Old fox." Mr. He couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart.
Now the people under the King of Nanchang are harvesting tax grains faster and faster.
As more and more tax grains are put into the warehouse, even if the Tianyin Sect wants to force an uprising, it may be difficult to collect enough military grains in a short period of time.
And once they start grabbing food from the people, everything will inevitably repeat the same mistakes as before.
So it is necessary to start things in advance.
"I came here just to discuss with Qian whether we can deliver the crossbows in advance. Since Qian's personnel changes, my teaching also needs to make some changes." Mr. He quickly adjusted his mentality.
It is a fact that Qian Zhuo's whereabouts are unknown now, and now the only things that can be grasped as the key are those crossbows.
As long as those crossbows are obtained, the cooperation between them and the Qian family will not be in vain.
"This is a big matter, Qi Lang needs to inform my brother." After a little hesitation, Qian Ye said politely: "Qian Ye has only taken over the family business for a short time. I'm afraid it will take some time to adapt and adjust."
Mr. He immediately raised his eyebrows, and then said with a gentle expression: "Qilang is really a humble gentleman."
"Senior, that's ridiculous!" Qian Ye glanced at the noise outside and said gently, "Senior, if you have nothing else to do, please leave. The students have to deal with the follow-up."
"Okay!" Mr. He no longer hesitated at this time. He stepped back and retreated directly into the courtyard.
The next moment, she jumped up suddenly, and in an instant, like a night owl, she flew directly over the top of the ancestral hall and flew towards the east with great speed.
On the ground, countless people raised their long bows for the first time, and the moment they cocked their arrows, He Lao had already rushed out of their sight.
At this time, more than a dozen ocher-clad guards had gathered in front of Qian Ye.
"Chasing, use all the strength of the family to find the man just now, as well as the reporter. My Qian family has been invaded by thieves.
broke in. "Qian Ye's solemn face showed great anger.
"Here!" Many of the guards present immediately accepted the offer and then dispersed.
Leaving a few people guarding the door, Qian Ye returned to the ancestral hall, and his expression completely calmed down in an instant.
After standing in the main hall and bowing seriously to the ancestors' memorial tablets, Qian Ye gradually walked into the depths of the ancestral hall.
Among the countless secret rooms, he found the one where Qian Zhe was.
Still facing the portrait of his ancestor, Qian Zhe knelt down and worshiped again and again.
"Brother, people are here and people are gone!" Qian Ye reported everything with a few simple words.
Qian Zhe stood up straight and asked directly without looking back: "What is the situation now? Do you know it well? What are your thoughts on how to deal with it?"
"Seize the opportunity, assist Zhang Canjun, and hunt down the Tianyin Sect." The focus of Qian Ye's words was strange, it was actually about Zhang Yi, who joined the army in recording the incident.
A satisfied smile appeared on Qian Zhe's lips: "Just do everything as you say."
"Here!" Qian Ye slowly exited the room.
In the secret room, Qian Zhe's expression completely calmed down in an instant.
Every time he blinked and closed his eyes, it seemed as if countless images flashed through them.
"Ping, Taiping, although it is going smoothly, it is difficult to make a breakthrough." Qian Zhe sighed deeply and said, "Qilang, you are too stingy this time."
Raising his head and looking at the portrait in front of him, Qian Zhe bowed deeply once again.
"Swish, swish, swish." Long arrows pierced the night sky one after another, but at this time, Mr. He in the sky had completely disappeared. Z.br>
In the big house and small courtyard opposite, Mr. He landed directly on the ground, letting out a long breath all over his body, then turned his head to look at the other two people beside him and said: "You each go back to your respective residences, don't expose any flaws."
"Here!" The charming woman and the sassy girl respectfully agreed, then slightly cupped their hands.
Turning around, he quickly left the courtyard.
There was a faint sound of footsteps in his ears. Mr. He nodded to Zhang Wanyu and said, "Let's go too!"
"good!"
Before the sound could even end, the two figures had already disappeared into the dark night sky like owls.
Qian's guards appeared behind them and only caught up to the backs of the two of them, but could no longer see anything clearly.
I don't know how long it took, but Mr. He and Zhang Wanyu appeared in a small courtyard.
The two of them checked around to make sure there was nothing wrong, and then relaxed.
"Mr. He, how is the situation?" Zhang Wanyu finally couldn't help but ask.
Mr. He shook his head slightly and said, "Two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news."
"Mr. He!" Zhang Wanyu looked at Mr. He amusedly. Why are you still playing such a trick at this time?
"It is indeed good news and bad news." Mr. He picked up the teapot on the stone table, poured himself a cup, and then said: "Qian Qilang is dead, but the new Qian Qilang is just as greedy."
"Well, what Mr. He said made me a little confused!" Zhang Wanyu was confused for a moment.
"Qian Zhuo died, but a new Qian Qilang appeared in the Qian family, named Qian Ye." Mr. He said sarcastically, "The Qian family has cut off all relations with Qian Zhuo. Qian Zhuo bought it in Jinhua The land, colluded with others to poison the King of Nanchang, and even the previous contacts with my religion were all cut off, leaving no trace of connection.
Such a sophisticated and vicious method, maybe that was how they planned it from the beginning. "
It sounds a bit incredible that a direct descendant of a family could be thrown away so easily, but this is the standard way of doing things for a large family.
I don’t know where Qian Zhe found a new person to replace Qian Zhuo and become Qian Qilang.
This time the layout is more stable, but also more chilling.
"What about those crossbow arrows?" Zhang Wanyu immediately wanted what she wanted most.
got this
With this batch of crossbow arrows, they would have a certain degree of confidence even if they were to fight the King of Nanchang head-on. But without this batch of crossbow arrows, they would be really in trouble.
"So I said it's good news. The new Qian Qilang is just as greedy as the previous one, so as long as you pay a certain price, you can get the things." He Lao remembered what Qian Ye said to her before in front of the ancestral hall. If you don't have time to adjust to one type of words, Mr. He understood from the beginning that those words were just used to blackmail benefits.
"So what does the new Qian Qilang want?" After a slight pause, Zhang Wanyu looked at Mr. He and said softly: "Now we don't have time to think about his hobbies."
"No need." Mr. He waved his hand directly and said: "When I and Qian Zhuo ordered this batch of crossbow arrows, I was vaguely aware that the Qian family might have already made these crossbow arrows. Now it should be They are being stored in a secret vault. As long as this vault can be found, all these crossbow arrows can be found."
"We still have to start with Qian Ye." Although Zhang Wanyu was a little impatient for no reason, she still said very cautiously: "Mr. He, will he go to the city gate tomorrow instead of Qian Zhuo to listen to Buddhist and Taoist lectures?"
"Zi Buyu has strange power and chaos. This Qian Ye is a scholar. He may not have such thoughts." Mr. He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Wanyu, and said softly: "If I were Qian Zhe, then I would never let Qian Ye and I contacted them alone, so even if I want to go, they will go together."
"What should we do? Time waits for no one!" Zhang Wanyu's face turned gloomy.
Nowadays, the person who puts the greatest pressure on Tianyin Sect is not the Qian family, but the poisoned King Li Xuan of Nanchang.
Li Xuan is now based in Jinhua, which is equivalent to directly cutting off the connection between the six southeastern counties of Wuzhou and the city.
There are only nine counties in Wuzhou in total. Li Xuan was in charge of one county and won six counties. Although the Tianyin Sect had back-up plans, these back-ups were not used to compete with the King of Nanchang.
Moreover, King Nanchang's actions were not only in Jinhua and those six counties, but also in Longyou and Lanxi.
What's more, although the King of Nanchang was poisoned, he was not dead. As long as he was still conscious, those under him would not move.
Don't forget, although Yu Ze went to Wuyi, Li Xuan still had Qiu Zhenmu and Wang Bo by his side.
Knowing the worries in Zhang Wanyu's heart, Mr. He pressed her wrist and said softly: "Although Qian Zhe and Qian Ye can't work hard, Qian Zhuo's road may not be completely blocked. I know that he still has several girls." It will be arranged in other places. I will trouble Young Master to make a trip to these places tonight to see if there are any clues. We need to be quick, otherwise it will be over tomorrow when the Qian family starts cleaning up."
Zhang Wanyu nodded slightly, and then she looked at Mr. He in surprise: "What, Mr. He won't go with me?"
"No. I want to check out the situation of King Nanchang." Mr. He sighed softly and said, "Everyone said that King Nanchang was poisoned, but I have never seen it with my own eyes, so I can't be sure, so I can't rest assured. Before. Because the Qian family can find out the result tonight, they don't have to worry about the King of Nanchang. Looking at it now, I'm afraid I still need to go take a look."
"Mr. He, the King of Nanchang has always been cunning and cunning. Mr. He should be more worried." As soon as Zhang Wanyu finished speaking, waves of uneasiness emerged in her heart.
At this time, Mr. He stood up, patted Zhang Wanyu's hand and said, "Saintess, be careful. If there is chaos in Wuzhou, go to this place."
After saying that, Mr. He took out a piece of silk cloth from his body and handed it over.
Zhang Wanyu looked at the name on the silk cloth in surprise. She just raised her head to ask, but before her eyes, Mr. He had completely disappeared.
With a sigh, Zhang Wanyu squeezed the silk cloth in her hand.
In fact, she knew in her heart that the reason why Mr. He made this trip was because he was worried that the predicament in front of them might be planned step by step by the King of Nanchang.
None of them can feel at ease unless they know the true situation of King Nanchang.
It does not even rule out the complete elimination of future troubles at the critical moment.
