Riverside.
The tourists have been driven away, and the burned-out boat has sunk to the bottom of the water.
A group of patrol warriors patrolled the riverside.
Several people stood by the river and discussed in low voices.
The warrior's energy and blood are so strong that it is difficult for mortals to see it with the naked eye. They can only feel the terrifying momentum of the opponent.
But Luo Qingzhou's soul at this moment could be seen clearly.
The energy and blood gathered together, like a burning sea of fire, dyeing the darkness by the river blood red.
Even from a long distance, his soul felt trembling.
No wonder the book says that when a few people work together, the little ghosts will give way; when the army comes, the ghosts and gods will be frightened.
Thousands of troops and horses gathered together, with such momentum that even the powerful souls mentioned in the book would probably have to retreat.
Luo Qingzhou did not dare to approach, so he stopped at a rooftop and waited patiently.
Half an hour later.
The figures standing by the river discussing gradually dispersed.
The patrolling warriors also surrounded one of them and retreated together.
Soon, silence returned to the riverside.
Luo Qingzhou waited for a while, and then Fang Piao moved there.
The riverside was deserted.
But the air seemed to still have the smell of burning fire, which was warm and unpleasant.
Luo Qingzhou floated towards the river.
I stared at the sunken ship in mid-air and searched carefully for a while, but I didn't find the souls of the corpses.
Maybe his soul was lost in the flames, or maybe he had already drifted somewhere else.
never mind.
When he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of a sentence recorded in the book. After the ghost of a person who has just died has escaped from the body, he will subconsciously drift towards the place with the heaviest yin or the darkest place around him. , and then he will look at the place where he died, unwilling to leave for a long time...
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved, and he immediately floated to a higher place, then lowered his head and looked down to search around the river.
When in the spirit state, you are most sensitive to places with heavy Yin energy.
There were a lot of people gathered by the river just now, with noisy voices and strong energy. After the ghosts of the corpses came out, they would subconsciously avoid and drift away to nearby places where silence and strong Yin energy were present.
Luo Qingzhou searched carefully in mid-air, and his eyes suddenly stopped under the arch bridge a hundred meters away on the left side of the river.
In his sight, under the dark arch of the bridge, there were obviously wisps of black Yin Qi floating in the air, gathering into groups and surging slowly, like living things.
Under the arch bridge, there is no sun and moon all year round, it is damp and dark, and because children and adults drown in the river almost every summer, the place is full of gloom, which is the best place for ghosts to temporarily hide.
Luo Qingzhou's figure moved and quickly floated over.
Before he got close, he felt a familiar breath coming towards his face.
Under the arch bridge, there was a dark wind and black mist.
It’s really quite a heavy yin energy!
Luo Qingzhou floated down directly and got in.
"ah"
A scream suddenly sounded in the darkness under the bridge.
As soon as Luo Qingzhou got under the bridge, he suddenly saw a black shadow floating in front of him and almost hit him in his arms.
Upon closer inspection, he could vaguely see the soul of the maid hiding at the door holding a dagger, preparing to sneak attack him.
At this time, the maid's soul had no previous memory at all, but his whole body was flashing with milky white light and fluorescence, and she seemed to feel his powerful and terrifying aura, so she was caught off guard and screamed in fright.
Luo Qingzhou didn't hesitate at all. Just like he had shot her to death in the room before, he clenched his fist and punched her suddenly.
"puff!"
Her originally blurry body was instantly shattered to pieces.
Immediately, they collapsed and their souls were scattered!
Luo Qingzhou is now in a day-traveling state, with a powerful spirit, and he has also practiced the Thunder Fist. How can the ghost who has just emerged from the body withstand this punch?
The ghost of the maid had just been killed when another scream suddenly rang out from the dark corner below.
Luo Qingzhou looked closely and saw the figure huddled in the corner, trembling. It was actually the soul of the old woman who hurt Miss Qin Er!
When she was in the room, she was fierce and powerful, but now she was hiding here like a pitiful mouse, trembling.
Luo Qingzhou still didn't hesitate and floated down directly, punching her to pieces.
At this time, there was a "whoop" sound coming from the side.
Two black figures fled in panic.
If you look carefully, you will see that a dark shadow is another maid; the other dark shadow is naturally Miss Song.
The two ghosts subconsciously sensed the danger, but fled in the same direction.
That direction was actually the place where they died.
However, with their speed, how could they escape the pursuit of the gods!
Luo Qingzhou's figure flashed and he had already caught up with the Miss Song family and punched her hard on the back, using the maximum force.
"puff!"
The ghosts were shattered and turned into nothing.
In one breath, Luo Qingzhou caught up with the ghost of another maid and killed her with one punch.
After killing the ghosts of several people, Luo Qingzhou truly felt relieved.
He floated into the air, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly found a few figures on the bank of the burned-out boat.
Two figures stood by the river, talking in low voices.
Several maids were standing not far away, and several guards were also standing seven or eight meters away, looking around with sharp eyes.
Those guards had strong energy and blood, and were obviously warriors.
But judging from its energy and blood, it's not too strong.
With Luo Qingzhou as a soul in the today's travel realm, he is naturally not afraid.
He floated directly over.
Of course, he did not float towards those warriors, but floated along the river towards the two people standing by the river.
A woman with a gloomy face and a young man about twenty years old.
At this time, the two of them were looking at the place where the boat sank and talking in a low voice.
Luo Qingzhou saw that the young man's body was faintly glowing with blood. He seemed to be a martial artist, but he had probably just started.
And judging from the look on his face, this young man must have been drinking too much, so he was seriously depleted of energy and blood, and his body was only as bloody as an ordinary strong man.
Luo Qingzhou approached from above and heard the conversation between the two.
"Your sister was burned to death here, and even her ashes are missing... Almost everyone on the ship escaped, and they were the only ones who were buried in the sea of fire. Apparently something happened before the fire started..."
"Mom, what's going on? You're so secretive in what you say. Did Zixi offend someone?"
The woman looked at the river in silence for a while, then sighed: "That's it, it's time to tell you. There is a task tonight that you need to do, and you must go in person."
The young man immediately said: "Mother, just ask."
"You also know that our Song family came to power by stepping on the Qin family. When the Qin family was in Mocheng, it was on par with the Chengguo Mansion... But after two generations, it declined, and our Song family took away their power. The wharf, the cloth business...I'm afraid you won't be interested in these things either. I'm just telling you this to let you understand that in this Mo City, we and the Qin family can only survive..."
"Zhe'er, Qin Chuan will definitely participate in the recruitment of Longhu College next year, but Luo Yu from Chengguo Mansion will also participate, and both of them have a chance. Your eldest brother can't count on it, he can only wait until the year after next... "
"Also, the son-in-law of the Qin family, according to the news I got, he is very talented. He is very likely to pass the exam next autumn..."
"You have to know that when the Qin family rises, they will definitely take revenge on us...Qin Wenzheng's second sister died of depression because we took away her cloth business. They will remember this revenge."
"So, we can't be soft."
"A few days ago, the eldest lady of Chengguo Mansion went to see my mother and arranged a marriage between Zixi and her eldest son..."
When the young man heard this, he was stunned and asked in surprise: "Luo Changtian who is in the Yujing Imperial Army?"
The woman nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that Zixi doesn't have that blessing anymore, but it doesn't matter, there is still Ruoqing."
"Zhe'er, mother has told you so much just to let you know that the Qin Mansion can no longer exist like this, especially Qin Chuan and the scholar who married into his wife. We were still a little hesitant at first. After all, the scholar He is the concubine of Chengguo Mansion, but after the eldest lady of Chengguo Mansion took the initiative to come to me, I understood..."
A cold light flashed in the young man's eyes, and he whispered: "Mother, the child knows, that scholar... must not let him live until next year! The child will deal with him personally!"
The woman looked at him and said: "Qin Chuan is a warrior, and he either stays at home to practice or goes out with the warrior team to hunt monsters. We have no chance. But the scholar... still has some chances."
The young man laughed evilly and said: "Mother, although my child is not diligent in practicing martial arts, we are still in the stage of meat refining. To kill a scholar, one punch is enough. When the time comes..."
"Don't be careless. According to the eldest lady of the Chengguo Mansion, the Qin Mansion takes the scholar very seriously, and may send guards to protect him whenever he goes out. However, it is not without a chance."
The woman looked at the river and said expressionlessly: "The eldest lady said that there is a little girl in the Chengguo Mansion who has a good relationship with the scholar. We can make a fuss about it."
The young man's eyes lit up and he whispered: "Mother, is that little girl... pretty?"
The woman's eyes flashed with sternness, and she glared at him and said: "When have you been thinking about those dirty things again? The little girl you robbed when you went out of the city last time, you just played with it and threw her into the well. do what?"
The young man quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Mom, she jumped in by herself, it has nothing to do with me."
The woman said solemnly: "You have to remember this time, put away your dirty thoughts, and keep your spirits up. As long as you handle this matter well, your father will naturally look at you with admiration. "
The young man immediately said: "Mom, don't worry, my child will definitely live up to your expectations this time. By the way, what tasks did you just say you had to give me tonight?"
The woman pondered for a moment, seeming to be hesitant, but finally decided, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "At three o'clock tonight, go and wait in the alley at the back door of Qin Mansion. The people we hide in Qin Mansion will meet Come out and tell you the Qin Mansion’s business arrangements during this period, as well as some other secrets. For safety reasons, he will not write it on paper, but will only pass it on orally. These things are very important to us, and you must tell them every word. Keep it in mind, can you do it?”
The young man suddenly sneered and said: "Mom, I thought it was such a big deal, is this it? Don't worry, I will complete the task tonight!"
The woman looked solemn and said: "This matter must not be known to outsiders. You must go alone and do not tell anyone where you are going. Because that person is very important and must not be exposed, and he is in our house. There may be people from the Qin Mansion, so you must be careful..."
"My child understands!"
"Zhe'er, if this matter is settled tonight, you can go to Chengguo Mansion tomorrow to meet the little girl. The little girl's mother may not be willing, but it doesn't matter, the eldest lady will help you. Yes, she said that when the time comes, she can give that little girl to you as your concubine, and then she will be at your disposal..."
When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy.
The mother and son stood by the river and chatted a few words in a low voice. Fang looked at the river, silently said goodbye to the girl who died for the family, and then turned and left.
Surrounded by the maids and several guards, they got into the carriage and quickly disappeared on the road by the river.
Luo Qingzhou floated under the night sky illuminated by the bright moon, thinking about what he had just heard, and rushed towards Yuanyang Tower.
There are still some hours until the third watch.
He still has time.
There is a mole in the Qin Mansion, and he is also a very important mole.
Who is the one?
As long as the inner ghost passes the Qin Mansion's business arrangements and secrets to the Song family tonight, then the Qin Mansion will be in danger.
Then his desire to be a gigolo for the time being would be in jeopardy.
So, can he sit still and wait for death?
Of course not.
Those who destroy people's jobs are irreconcilable.
What's more, they have to use Xiaolou against him.
Of course he can't bear it!
Not long after, he came to Yuanyang Tower.
On the roof of the building, the figure wrapped in moonlight still stood motionless on the eaves, seeming to be looking at the moon and meditating.
Luo Qingzhou floated to the roof, stood behind her, and said with cupped hands: "Senior, this junior has some things to do tonight, and may leave in an hour. If senior wants to hear the story, junior will start telling it now, okay ?"
The white figure looked at the bright moon. After a while, Fang said, "Want to go home to accompany your wife again?"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, "Yes."
In the middle of the night, this is the only reason that works.
The moon-white figure was silent for a moment, then slowly turned her head to look at him, and suddenly asked: "How many wives do you have?"
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
After a pause, he replied respectfully: "One."
This senior probably meant to ask if he had taken any concubines.
In fact, in this era, a concubine is not considered a wife, but can only be regarded as a sleeping girl, and she cannot even serve food on the table.
The moon-white figure said no more, looking towards the night sky in the distance.
Luo Qingzhou waited for a moment and said, "Senior, do you need me to tell you a story tonight?"
The Yuebai figure said calmly: "No need."
Luo Qingzhou raised his head and glanced at her and said, "Okay, then I won't disturb my seniors from admiring the moon. I will take my leave."
The moon-white figure looked into the distance and said, "Stand still."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment and could only stand obediently, motionless.
The two of them stood one behind the other like sculptures on the roof, motionless and silent.
An hour later.
The Yuebai figure opened his mouth and said, "Go."
Then he added: "Go back and stay with your wife."
"Junior, please take your leave."
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and left the roof, quickly disappearing into the distant night.
The moon-white figure still stood on the eaves until dawn.
After Luo Qingzhou returned, he first looked around the Qin Mansion, and then went to the alley behind the Qin Mansion for a closer look. Then he returned to the house and practiced the Thunderbolt Fist in the room.
It's almost three o'clock.
He floated out from the roof and drifted silently to the dark alley behind.
Then he landed on the wall and stared at the back door hidden deep in the alley.
I do not know how long it has been.
With a "squeak" sound, the back door opened.
A head wearing a hat sneakily poked out of the door, looked around, and after seeing that there was nothing unusual around him, Fang lowered his body and walked out cautiously.
Luo Qingzhou looked intently.
The figure walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped again, leaned against the wall, and looked around again.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the moonlight at the entrance of the alley, and then walked over quickly.
When the figure saw him, he stood still, waiting for the other party.
