Chapter 128
"After all, Qiao Shuanglin is a stronger warrior than the Sword Ghost Worshiper. It's too simple to expect these ordinary people to stop him."
"Now, this is just the first step."
"The fun is yet to come. This step alone is not enough to ruin Qiao Shuanglin's reputation."
He sat at the table with his eyes closed, thinking, and his fingers tapped the armrests of the chair.
Fang Fang was also sensible. She stood behind Wan Ronghua and gently pinched his shoulders. For a moment, the fragrance filled his nose and the warmth on his back made Wan Ronghua feel comfortable.
"By the way, there is also Qin Shiqing, Mr. Qin." Wan Ronghua suddenly opened his eyes.
"Qin Shiqing is the warden of the Heavenly Prison. He was the executioner who executed Qiao Zhong at Caishikou that day!"
"I heard that Qiao Zhong was stubborn and refused to kneel that day. It was the executioner Qin Shiqing who kicked Qiao Zhong's legs and let the executioner execute him."
"Qiao Shuanglin said two nights ago that he wanted to avenge his sixty-year-old son Qiao Zhong. This was not only a declaration of war against the Great Yan court and the Immortal Sect, but the executioner Qin Shiqing was also among them."
"With Qin Shiqing's vengeful character, how could he tolerate Qiao Shuanglin's arrogant words?"
"Master, are you planning to... kill someone with a borrowed knife?" Fang Fang asked.
"This is not killing someone with a borrowed knife, but just going with the flow." Wan Ronghua said with a smile:
"As long as we build momentum, those who want to kill Qiao Shuanglin can line up from the suburbs to the gate of the palace..."
...
It was a long time later.
Hai Wuya came out from the inner hall of the clinic.
He and Dong Xinglin were immersed in the painting in the inner hall and didn't know what was happening outside. He just heard what happened now.
After listening to the explanation of the middle-aged doctor, Hai Wuya's face changed and he hurried out.
"Brother Hai, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"To find Qiao Shuanglin." He said hurriedly:
"Qiao Shuanglin and Qiao Zhong in the prison are really father and son. They are both hot-tempered... If such a person gets stuck in a dead end and is angered by the stupid hostility of the people, if he goes astray because of this, it will be the misfortune of our Great Yan."
Dong Xinglin blinked his eyes and thought:
"Brother Hai has a high opinion of Qiao Shuanglin..."
.....
Half an hour later.
Hai Wuya hurried to the old house of the Fang family.
He didn't know Qiao Mu's residence, but wanted to pass the message through the jailer Fang Yuan. However, when he arrived at the old house of the Fang family, he happened to find Qiao Mu in this courtyard.
"Brother Qiao, please don't be angry." Hai Wuya said hurriedly:
"I have heard about what happened at the door of the clinic just now."
"Although the people are stupid and ignorant, this matter is actually a bit strange. I suspect that someone is secretly instigating and fanning the flames..."
"Brother Hai, did you come here to tell me about this?" To Hai Wuya's surprise, Qiao Mu seemed very calm, as if he didn't take the previous turmoil seriously.
"Brother Qiao, who is fanning the flames behind this matter, I will go and check it out." Hai Wuya is now a second-rank official of the current dynasty and one of the six ministers. He is in a high position and has great power. Naturally, he is very confident when he says this.
"Before we find out the clues, I hope Brother Qiao will keep a low profile and try not to go out." Hai Wuya's eyes fell on Qiao Mu's face, observing his facial expression changes, and said deeply: "In my opinion, no matter who is hiding behind the scenes, this farce in front of the clinic is probably just the beginning." "Low profile? Okay." Qiao Mu smiled and agreed: "I am a person who is as calm as the sun. I don't like fighting. I like peace the most." Chapter 149 Take my head Hearing that Qiao Shuanglin called himself as a person who is as calm as the sun, Hai Wuya's eyes twitched slightly, but he didn't say much. Anyone who heard what happened in front of the clinic would not associate this 90-year-old man with being as calm as the sun, right? But Qiao Mu had said this, and he had nothing to say. Just as he was about to leave, Hai Wuya was stopped by Qiao Mu again:
"Brother Hai, I still have something I don't understand." Qiao Mu said:
"In the hall of the clinic, we talked about the essence of martial arts, saving the world and the people, saving the nation from extinction... But when I went out, I was immediately framed by the villain and pointed at by thousands of people. Brother Hai, don't you think it's contradictory?"
In Hai Wuya's mouth before, he and Qiao Mu were all seeds of martial arts, pioneers of martial arts against the immortal gate, and they said that martial arts is humanity.
But when they went out, the martial artists who inherited humanity in Hai Wuya's mouth were immediately pointed at by the people of the same origin, and it was suspected that someone framed them behind the scenes...
Hearing this, Hai Wuya looked back at Qiao Mu.
Obviously, in Hai Wuya's view, although Qiao Mu was not shaken by the thousands of people pointing at him at the door of the clinic, he did have a trace of resentment in his heart.
He thought for a moment and replied;
"Now the people are not enlightened, and the people are stupid and ignorant...So we martial artists should rise up even more."
Qiao Mu did not answer.
Hai Wuya said solemnly:
"Both the immortal cultivators and the warriors of our generation are much stronger than ordinary people."
"Neither the immortal cultivators nor the warriors are productive, but they have been practicing hard all the way to the present, and the resources they need are far more than what ordinary people can consume in their lifetime."
"There is no god in this world who does not eat the fireworks of the world. The immortal cultivators need the incense of mortals, and we warriors also need a lot of meat and medicine tonics."
"You and I have the current military power, of course, we have our own unremitting efforts, but we also cannot do without the support of the common people in this world. The more powerful the warrior, the more so."
"If you want to wear the black gauze, you must bear its weight."
"In this case, we have to do something for the civilians...even if the civilians are short-sighted, stupid, easily incited, and constantly criticize each other."
Qiao Mu looked straight at the endless sea.
Perhaps it was because Hai Wuya had stayed in the Heavenly Prison for too long. Although he was a minister, he didn't have time to enjoy much power.
From his answer, he felt that this man did not look like a serious warrior or official at all, but more like a scholar who shined with the brilliance of his ideals.
"Ahem...Brother Qiao, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Hai Wuya coughed twice, turned around and left.
Qiao Mu didn't refute, just sat in the courtyard and watched Hai Wuya leave.
Hai Wuya has a broad mind and may be a character who repays evil with kindness.
Qiao Mu is also as broad-minded as Hai Wuya. Everyone who plots against him, especially those who can kill him, will be regarded as a close friend by him and will be deeply remembered in his heart.
Then send them to heaven as soon as possible.
"Hai Wuya wants me to keep a low profile? Wait for him to investigate slowly?" Qiao Mu secretly shook his head.
Of course he also wanted to know who was plotting against him... After all, he had provoked quite a lot of enemies, and he didn't think about it for a while.
Without high-quality death, how to quickly deduce the "Human Dao Jing"?
Qiao Mu was once stuck in the way of refining gods because Wu Jihui deliberately blocked the lower half of the god refining technique.
But he has looked away now.
After the death of Wu Shengren, he has also seen clearly the upper limit of the so-called way of refining gods...
Everyone in the world says that the Martial Saint is unparalleled in the martial arts world, and no one can compare with him. So the current method of refining gods may really not be comparable to those of immortal cultivators.
So now that we have obtained the "Human Dao Jing", why bother?
"At dawn tomorrow, go to Caishikou to pick up my head." Qiao Mu made a decision.
The heads of condemned prisoners who were beheaded in Caishikou would be hung on wooden racks for many days.
Taking the head by force is naturally against the laws of Dayan and will definitely bring trouble to the court.
By then, why worry about not having a high-quality death?
.
"Qiao Shuanglin? Will the Qiao family finally show up in the imperial capital next time? Please let me wait for a while."
In the Dao Zong Taoist Temple in the north of the imperial capital, Daozhen, a disciple who had just returned, heard the news and showed no trace of expectation on his face.
In the past few days, he was not in the imperial capital, but was out enforcing the law, fighting with several Demon Sect monks, and curbing several human disasters in Zhongzhou.
Zhongzhou is the vegetable garden of Daodao Sect, so naturally no one is allowed to forcibly harvest it.
It's just that Daozhen can't control the damage caused during the battle, and he doesn't care much about it.
Mortals are like mayflies that provide incense. If you can protect them, you should protect them. If you can't protect them, then you can't protect them.
Daozhen stood up and turned into a rainbow. Just as it broke through the sky, he heard the voices of the monks behind him:
"Hey, senior brother Daozhen, are you going out again?"
"Senior Sister Daoxu in the sect said that she has obtained a new magic weapon in the past few days, and has been looking for you to fight with her?"
Daozhen and Daoxu are brothers from the same sect, both coming from the sect of Elder Qingyi.
The two of them have similar cultivation levels and the time of joining the Immortal Sect is also close, so Dao Xuduo has a desire to fight.
It's just that Daozhen has a lazy temperament. He usually only likes to observe outstanding mortals, and doesn't like to compete with others. He deliberately avoids it many times.
"Senior Sister Daoxu?" Daozhen frowned slightly when he heard this person's name, but then relaxed his expression and said with a smile as usual:
"Then I have to leave."
His body transformed into a rainbow and finally disappeared over the Taoist temple.
After finally returning to the Imperial Capital, he was all interested in observing the mortals. How could he think about fighting with his fellow disciples?
"Senior Brother Daozhen is quite kind-hearted... Unfortunately, Senior Sister Daoxu is not."
"He can't find any trace of Senior Sister Daoxu this time, but he doesn't know what he will do..." The other disciples also sighed.
Although he comes from the same sect, the status of a disciple of Elder Qingyi is naturally not the same as that of other sect members.
.
"The scum of the Qiao family, trying to gain fame and reputation for Qiao Shuanglin?"
"The Qiao family in Nanzhou sacrificed their lives, but Qiao Shuanglin in Zhongzhou only wanted to gain fame..."
The storyteller Jiang Chen looked at the piece of secret information in his hand, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and he looked at Shunfeng Er next to him.
"Senior, is this inappropriate?"
"The truth of this matter is not known yet. Is it too early to rush to speak out now?"
"What do you know?" Shunfeng Er chuckled:
"We listen to Chao Lou. Naturally, we just listen to the wind and rain. We only earn money from this gossip. Is it that important whether it is true or false?"
"Just tell me, is this thing strange enough? Is it enough to overturn the warriors' previous impression of the Qiao family in Nanzhou?"
Jiang Chen opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
Shunfeng'er belongs to Tingchao Tower's anecdote faction. The things they were tracking before were both bizarre and true to form. Now he can finally see the similarities and differences between Shunfeng'er and him...
Chapter 150 Don’t run away, old pervert!
The second day.
Qiao Mu walked out of the door and headed directly towards the food market entrance of the Imperial Capital.
Caishikou is always busy, especially when going to the market early in the morning.
As the trees got closer, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased and it became lively.
Qiao Mu didn't walk fast and didn't put on any disguise. He deliberately exposed his appearance to the world.
While walking, he did not forget to pay attention to the people around him, hoping that some force would be unable to restrain himself first and jump out to kill him.
But after walking on the road for a long time, he didn't feel any strong people. Instead, he relied on his extraordinary ear to hear the whispers of the people around him.
"That person over there is the famous Qiao family, Qiao Shuanglin?"
