Chapter 250 Another incident
While Song Qingyu was still in seclusion to stabilize his cultivation, his sixth uncle Song Changfeng sent Song Qingming another unexpected message. Lu Yuanfeng sent a letter inviting Song Qingming to go to Qinghefang urgently to discuss matters.
In the past six months, because of Song Qingyu's foundation building, Song Qingming had almost never left Funiu Mountain, and he didn't know what happened in Qinghefang, which made Lu Yuanfeng send such a letter.
Although Song Qingming didn't know it yet, since he had received Lu Yuanfeng's letter, he naturally did not dare to delay. After explaining it to Song Changfeng, he set off for Qinghefang alone. Now that Song Qingyu has successfully built the foundation, he doesn't need to worry too much just to stay in seclusion to stabilize his cultivation.
After arriving at the Qinghefang meeting hall, Song Qingming realized that things seemed a bit uneasy this time. Not only him, but also the head of the Lu family, Lu Xingde, and the Huang family's Huang Shengyue had already arrived here before him.
"Fellow Daoist Song, come and sit down. Fellow Daoist Lu has just left. We probably have to wait for him for a while." Seeing Song Qingming arrive here, Huang Shengyue, who was close to him, hurried forward to say hello.
Song Qingming cupped his hands at the two of them and said, "Two fellow Taoists, what happened? Brother Lu called us here in such a hurry?"
"A few days ago, two monks from the city guard were killed outside Qinghefang. After these few days of investigation, I guess Fellow Daoist Lu has some clues, so he called us here to discuss the matter."
The person who spoke was Lu Xingde. I don’t know if it was because the monks from the Gao family hadn’t arrived yet, but this guy’s attitude towards Song Qingming was a lot more enthusiastic for some reason.
"Who is so brave and dares to attack the Fangshi Guards near Qinghefang? The person who died is not a member of the Xiaoyao Sect, right?" Song Qingming's face also changed when he heard the news that the Fangshi Guards were killed. He did not expect that , someone actually dared to kill the people of Fangshi Guards.
"They are two casual cultivators who have been working as the guard captain for some years. We really have to be lucky that the ones who died were not from the Xiaoyao Sect, otherwise Fellow Daoist Lu wouldn't have just invited us to discuss matters today."
Hearing what Lu Xingde said, Song Qingming nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. If someone from Xiaoyao Sect really died, I'm afraid this matter would become a big deal, and the entire Qinghefang business might suffer a lot during this period. Impact.
The escort team in Qinghefang mainly consists of three parts. One part is Lu Yuanfeng's disciples. These people are all authentic disciples of Xiaoyao Sect. They can be regarded as being sent by Xiaoyao Sect to garrison here like Lu Yuanfeng.
The second part is the monks from the four major foundation-building families who are stationed on rotation. Because it has been the Lu family who have been on duty in recent years, there are still many monks from the Lu family in the Fangshi Guard Team.
The last remaining group, also the largest number, were temporarily hired from casual cultivators when the City Guards were short of manpower. These people were generally not fixed, but their existence also represented the dignity of the City, and they could be used by others for no reason. Killing outside Fang City was a slap in the face of Qinghe Fang. Anyway, as the beneficiaries of Fang City, the four major foundation-building families in Qinghe County had the obligation to seek justice for them.
While a few people were talking, Gao Yubai from the Gao family also walked in. As soon as he entered the door and saw Song Qingming and Huang Shengyue there, Gao Yubai's eyes immediately flashed with disgust.
In the battle at Duanliu Mountain, he was besieged by Song Qingming and Huang Shengyue and almost lost his life to them. Even now, when he sees the two of them, he still cannot help but remember this.
After Gao Yubai came in, he heard Song Qingming and others discussing the matter, and naturally he immediately knew the purpose of Lu Yuanfeng calling everyone here, but this guy didn't answer the conversation, his face was always cold, and it was hard to tell what his attitude was. .
The four families had been together for a while, and Lu Yuanfeng finally returned to the meeting hall.
"Fellow Taoists, I have invited you here today because of a major event that happened in Qinghefang recently. Someone kidnapped and killed two monks from our escort team in Qinghefang outside the city." After entering the door, he did not join the crowd. To be polite, Lu Yuanfeng said with a serious face the purpose of calling everyone here.
"Brother Lu, have you investigated this matter clearly? Who did it?" Before anyone could speak, Huang Shengyue had already taken the lead in asking the most important question.
Lu Yuanfeng nodded, and said with a headache: "They are still the biggest scourge around Qinghefang. We haven't beaten them for several years, and it seems they are starting to become restless again."
"Is it Yingchaoling again?" When he heard Lu Yuanfeng said it was the trouble around Qinghefang, Lu Xingde immediately thought of the answer and blurted out.
"Yes, it has been found out. The ones who did it are the Feng brothers who joined Yingchao Ridge a few years ago." Now there is no trace of these two people, and they may have hid back in Yingchao Ridge.
I let them go last time, but I didn't expect that they would dare to come to Qinghefang to cause trouble again. They really don't take us seriously. "
"Fellow Daoist Lu is right. Yingchao Ridge can be said to have directly slapped our Qinghefang in the face this time. If we don't respond at all, who will dare to come to our Qinghefang in the future." Huang Shengyue also agreed.
Song Qingming also nodded and said: "Brother Lu, just come up with an idea on what to do. We will definitely cooperate."
When Song Qingming heard the words "Yingchao Ridge", he naturally had no favorable impressions. He had almost died in their hands not long after he came down the mountain. Now that he had a chance to take revenge, he was naturally very happy.
Although the remaining Gao Yubai has not spoken yet, he is the representative of the Gao family after all. This matter concerns the entire Qinghefang and has involved the common interests of the four major families in Qinghe County. Regardless of any conflicts between the previous families, Now everyone must still be consistent in communicating with the outside world.
Seeing that everyone had unified their opinions and planned to teach Yingchaoling a lesson, Lu Yuanfeng paused and said:
"I have heard some useful information in the past few days. The reason why Yingchao Ridge has been so arrogant recently is precisely because their strength has expanded a lot in recent years. Now there are hundreds of bandit cultivators on Yingchao Ridge. , there are two foundation-building monks, and they also have a second-level mountain-protecting formation. If we, the foundation-building monks, go over alone, we may not be able to break through their mountain-protecting formation, and our efforts will be in vain.
If too many monks are sent there and there is too much movement, they may find out that we have evacuated early before we reach Eagle Nest Ridge. I think this time we should simply gather the monks in the late stage of Qi Refining and organize a group of elites. The monks will follow us, and I can borrow two sets of second-level formations to give to them. As long as everyone is willing to spend some time, we can definitely break through the Eagle's Nest Ridge and completely solve this disaster. "
