Chapter 135 The Wind Rises
After a sudden realization, Meng Qi said calmly: "We came from the north, but we passed by Liushaji. Qu Jiuniang is indeed beautiful, has a hot personality, and is very eye-catching when it comes to money."
"Yes, yes, when Jiuniang saw gems and gold, her whole body was so beautiful that it seemed to light up. Her eyes and expressions, tsk, it was so intoxicating..." Xie Jiugui suddenly became excited and kept talking. , "But let me tell you, Jiuniang's most beautiful time is not these times, but after drinking, when she..."
He burped, suddenly stopped, and lay down drunkenly. Soon there was a snoring sound, which seemed to mention Jiuniang, making him eager to enter the dreamland and "meet" the beautiful lady.
Meng Qi couldn't hear any valuable clues, so he left Lao Cao Hotel with Gu Changqing.
When they left, a white and slender hand suddenly appeared next to Xie Jiugui's ear, pinched his ear and twisted it hard.
"Ouch!" Xie Jiugui screamed.
…………
As soon as he stepped into the rented yard, Meng Qi saw Zhong Yashe pacing back and forth half excitedly and half fearfully. Gong Shayue looked on with the same expression.
"Master, what happened?" Gu Changqing asked with concern after being reminded by Meng Qi's eyes.
Zhong Yashe smiled: "Yuan Mengzhi and City Lord Bai jointly sent an invitation, inviting brothers from all families to the City Lord's Mansion for a banquet. Thank you for escorting us all the way."
"'Escort' all the way?" Meng Qi asked with a stern expression, but he was laughing secretly in his heart. Yuan Mengzhi was talking nonsense with his eyes open.
Zhong Yashe sighed: "Yes, I guess Yuan Mengzhi wants to have a showdown with us and let us leave the sea of fish after drinking this drink. Alas, you didn't spend the gems, did you?"
"We have decided on a way to escape, five thousand silver, and we will give you the rest after everything is done." Gu Changqing gave Zhongya She a blow on the head first, and then smiled and said, "Master, it doesn't matter, since Yuan Mengzhi wants to forcefully drive away Everyone, there must be some people who are dissatisfied, something may happen tonight, and then we will be able to fish in troubled waters."
"That's right. With so many cavalry teams, there are estimated to be 70 or 80 masters of opening the orifice. There is also one for each of the seven or eight orifices. If Yuan Mengzhi forcibly evicts them, will they obey the order? Even if Bai Bazheng helps, there are so many of us. The powerful people are not easy to deal with. Huh, even if Yuan Mengzhi is covered in iron, how many nails can he hit? " Zhong Yashe has thought of this for a long time, but he needs others to say it to give him comfort and courage. .
He paused and looked at Meng Qi and Gu Changqing: "Brother Xiao Meng, you and Xiao Yue will follow me to the banquet tonight. Don't be reckless if something happens. Brother Gu and Wu will stay here and let the brothers be ready. When chaos occurs, take advantage of it immediately.”
Since the banquet is not a good banquet, it is natural to bring the strongest experts, so even if Meng Qi behaves recklessly and does not follow the rules, Zhong Yashe has to bring him along. Although Gong Shayue is the third master, he is stronger than the second. Wu Yong, the leader, is one step ahead.
When someone is going to the banquet, someone has to look after the house and prepare for the robbery, so Zhong Yashe asked the "strategist" Gu Changqing to stay and arranged for Wu Yong to monitor and assist him.
Hearing that there was such a banquet, Meng Qi probably guessed what Yuan Mengzhi was thinking. Even if Zhongyashe refused to let him go, he would have to find an excuse to go, so he did not refuse and said concisely: "I will listen to you. Big boss."
"Okay, everyone go back to your room to rest and wait for the night. Brother Gu, after we set off, please go to Lao Cao Hotel again and let Xie Jiugui get ready." Zhong Yashe gave the final instructions in a very grand manner.
Back in the room, Meng Qi paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his thoughts racing in his mind, making it difficult to calm down.
"In this situation, if there is a 'Sorrowful Breeze', things will be much simpler." Meng Qi sighed. He has been waiting for the "opportunity", but that kind of "opportunity" is really rare in the desert, so there is no oasis. There is a little more, but I have never encountered it, and there is no "opportunity". Whether it is head-on or a conspiracy such as diverting the tiger away from the mountain, the success may not be great, because Yuan Mengzhi is simply waiting for you to do this, and there is no advantage of surprise at all.
If he had enough time, Meng Qi could figure out a way to wait for a specific terrain and follow Yuan Mengzhi's thinking mode to save people, but time doesn't wait for me!
In this kind of banquet, there are many people and mixed smells, and the nose orifices are seriously affected. The "Sorrowful Breeze" which is colorless and odorless and specifically targets internal energy is definitely very effective. After all, Yuan Mengzhi does not have the power of Kuangsha Magic to resist poison.
Although candles made from Qixin Begonia are also colorless and odorless, they are highly poisonous and affect everyone. Ordinary people are more susceptible to the poison. In this kind of banquet, there must be maids and servants. Putting aside the issue of whether hurting innocent people violates one's own bottom line, just their early onset of poisoning can wake up Yuan Mengzhi and others before the poisoning is deep. He has no intention of doing so. If there is a chance, he will be surrounded and killed by nearly a hundred horse bandits.
Another point is that these methods are based on Yuan Mengzhi and others being completely unprepared for poisoning, but this is almost impossible. He obviously wants to use this chaotic situation to induce himself to rescue people. Everything will definitely be taken into consideration.
"We can only adapt to circumstances and act according to the situation." Meng Qi sighed again. Maybe the opportunity lies in Zhong Yashe and others following the horse bandits to conflict with Yuan Mengzhi, causing chaos, but I don't know if this opportunity was deliberately created by Yuan Mengzhi. of.
If there was no chance, Meng Qi asked himself that he would not do anything that would inevitably lead to death. He could only stay useful and avenge his junior brother.
After sorting out his thoughts, Meng Qi calmed down and meditated quietly to adjust his breath. At this time, it was useless to be anxious and anxious, but it would affect his judgment.
Unconsciously in the evening, Meng Qi was awakened by the sound of Gu Changqing knocking on the door.
"Zhong Yashe wants you to prepare to go." Gu Changqing said solemnly, "Be careful yourself and don't show off if you don't have a chance."
Meng Qi smiled calmly and said: "I save it. I don't do anything that I am not sure about."
After walking out of the room and into the yard, Meng Qi suddenly felt a strong wind blowing by, causing the branches to sway.
He raised his head in astonishment and looked at the sky, only to see that the dark red still shrouded by the setting sun gradually turned gloomy.
"The wind is blowing..." Meng Qi's expression was very strange, half surprised and happy.
There was only one idea in his mind, which came from a topic he had seen in some textbook or book before: "Study on strong convective weather in large oasis"...
The sea of fish is vast and the smoke is vast, so this is an oasis that stretches very far.
Gu Changqing raised his head and echoed without knowing why: "Yes, the wind is blowing and it's going to rain heavily, but why are you sighing?"
Generally speaking, such conditions and weather conditions mean heavy rain.
Meng Qi's expression calmed down and became calm again, but he clearly showed some relief: "Because the time has come..."
"Has the time come?" Gu Changqing looked at Meng Qi in surprise.
Meng Qi didn't answer. He walked towards Zhong Yashe and others with his hands behind his back, humming as he walked: "It's raining, it's thundering, put away your clothes."
Half-covered again! Gu Changqing looked at Meng Qi's back with itching teeth, wishing he could beat him up, but he quickly calmed down and went out to Lao Cao Hotel.
…………
The banquet was not a good one, and Zhong Yashe was under great pressure, so he remained silent all the way. Meng Qi pressed his sword with his left hand, with a stern look on his face, and also said nothing.
After entering the city lord's palace, he walked into a spacious hall under the guidance of the maid and found his seat. Zhong Yashe looked around and found that every horse bandit seemed to have his own case - Bai Ba Zhengmu Central Plains The character's appearance and preference for ancient etiquette are why it is not a square table, but a table for one person and several people. Zhong Yashe and other horse bandit leaders are located on both sides of the road, with Meng Qi and Gong Shayue behind him.
Zhong Yashe watched a familiar horse bandit come in and was arranged by the maid in an orderly manner without any confusion. He suddenly felt fear in his heart. This situation showed that Yuan Mengzhi or Bai Bazheng knew the situation of himself and others very well. , knows who the horse bandit leaders are, and also knows how many brothers each brings.
"You can't conflict with them." He warned himself.
"Master Zhongda, we are really destined." Wang Hong's voice suddenly rang in Zhong Yashe's ears, and he was placed in a nearby position.
Meng Qi held the sword with his left hand, as if he was ready to take action at any moment, which made Wang Hong hate and feel uncomfortable with the guy with bare chest hair.
He looked at the empty seat in front of him, and he had a calculation in his mind. He laughed loudly and said: "Brother Xiao Meng, aren't you arrogant and want to make a name for yourself? Now is the opportunity, as long as you can defeat anyone here Leader of the cavalry, you will become famous immediately! If you can defeat Brother Yuan Meng, hehe, your name will be spread throughout the vast sea in no time!"
"Wang Hong, don't talk nonsense." Zhong Yashe was startled, really afraid that Meng Qi would jump out and challenge the leader of the horse bandits. This would not give Yuan Mengzhi any face! He used his eyes to signal Meng Qi to calm down and not be impulsive, while scolding Wang Hong.
Wang Hong sat down with his brothers and chuckled: "Brother Xiao Meng, don't you like to follow rules? Now is your chance. As long as you provoke Boss Yuan Meng, we will all listen to you! Could it be that you A coward?"
Meng Qi closed his eyes, kept his energy and spirit introverted, and waited for the opportunity.
Seeing that Meng Qi could keep his composure, Zhong Yashe rated him even higher, while Wang Hong curled his lips and continued to tease and ridicule Meng Qi.
After a while, Yuan Mengzhi, with green eyes and a light yellow beard, walked into the back hall with Du Mo, Zhen Hui and others, accompanied by Bai Ba Zheng, the lord of Yuhai City, as his master.
Bai Bazheng is half Han, and his facial features are like stone sculptures. He is over fifty years old, with gray hair, a high crown, a wide robe, and long flowing sleeves. He has the air of a scholar-official.
Meng Qi opened his eyes and looked at Zhenhui. Seeing that his expression was as usual, but showing a bit of sadness and longing, he felt a little relieved.
Bai Bazheng, Yuan Mengzhi and others entered the table one after another, while Zhenhui was escorted aside by a horse bandit. He looked at the delicious food eagerly and licked his lips.
This guy knows how to eat! Meng Qi laughed and cursed, closed his eyes again, and gathered momentum.
Yuan Mengzhi looked at the horse bandits below, coughed slightly, and prepared to speak.
Boom!
Suddenly there was thunder in the sky, interrupting Yuan Mengzhi's words.
Dark clouds gathered outside, and silver snakes danced wildly.
Yuan Mengzhi coughed again, attracting everyone's attention, but at this moment, he saw a young horse bandit walking out of the crowd with his sword in hand and walked to the center of the aisle.
In Zhong Yashe's confused and frightened expression, Meng Qi coldly and calmly pulled out the Bingque sword and pointed it at Yuan Mengzhi:
"I'm going to challenge you."
ah? Everyone, including Wang Hong, opened their mouths.
