Chapter 482 A false warning
The two servants held invitations in their hands and lowered their heads tightly, as if they were all etiquette, but their eyes could not help but follow Meng Qi's shadow.
This is really too sensational, and I can’t allow myself not to be surprised or panicked!
As servants of the Hou Mansion, they often receive invitations from major aristocratic families and important ministers. The Marquis is the deputy commander of the imperial army in front of the palace, and the Fifth Master is one of the eight great masters. If there is an important banquet, they cannot be bypassed.
But now that the second young master has just returned home, invitations from the Langya Ruan family and the new governor came to their door, naming them by name. Everyone knows what this means!
This is naked support!
It is a display of friendship between the two parties!
Otherwise, why would the banquet be held today?
The second young master can actually get the full support of two aristocratic families, which is simply shocking!
"Marquis Shenwei" Su Li's expression softened and even relaxed slightly. The tense situation just now, the almost crazy wife, and the arrogant and unruly son all made his head hurt. His mother's idea was good, but her vision was limited. In the city of God, it seems short-sighted after all.
"Since the Langya Marquis Mansion and Wang Shenzheng have warmly invited you, Ziyuan, please don't lose your etiquette. If you are unable to go to any house, you must write a handwritten letter of apology." He was happy to see the result, and changed the name of Wang Zai's father.
Meng Qi had a headache instead. Which one should he go to?
He took the invitation and looked at it carefully, and found that the invitation from the Ruan family did not indicate a specific time, which meant that he could come at any time, but the invitation from Wang Zai's father clearly stated that it was a dinner party.
"Then go to the snack shop's house first to see if there is anything important..." He made an instant decision.
When he left the main house of the Su family, he felt refreshed. Things in this family were really muddy, which made him feel tired and confused, and he felt that he was tied up and dragging his feet.
"It can be regarded as the cause and effect of your 'gift' of the physical body..." Thinking of this section, Meng Qi's mind suddenly became lively and agile. He unconsciously became curious about Su Ziyuan and had the urge to look through his old house. , "I wonder if you have any unfulfilled wishes. If so, let me fulfill them on your behalf..."
With this thought, Meng Qi was suddenly startled. The surroundings seemed to become illusory and dark, and the threads of cause and effect were like spider silk.
He seemed to understand. He raised his head, looked at the sinking red sun, and said to himself secretly:
"I am always one step away from a breakthrough. In addition to the lack of heat and still need to be polished, I am afraid that there is also the reason why the physical body has not yet tasted the cause and effect. After all, martial arts practice is based on the physical body. The soul and the physical body blend and communicate with the world. If the inner scene is exposed, if The physical body has more 'restraints', so naturally it becomes more difficult to break through..."
Wanting to understand this matter, Meng Qi couldn't wait to look through the room where Su Ziyuan had passed.
He took a deep breath, calmed down his thoughts, stepped out, declined carriages and horses, and went straight to Langya Hou's Mansion in Qinqifang.
Langyahou Mansion occupies a small area, but it is quiet amid the hustle and bustle. The twists and turns of the road seem to lead to a secluded place, which makes people look forward to relieve their worries. Therefore, it is also called the "Quiet Garden". The Birdsong Mountain is even more secluded, and the Qin Dynasty Mansion is even quieter!
"Mr. Su, are you here?" There was a man standing at the door. He was seventeen or eighteen years old, a little childish. After seeing Meng Qi, he showed a proud excitement. He seemed to be honored to know him, which made other young people at the door A flash of jealousy.
Meng Qi thought for a while and then remembered who he was, and smiled and said, "How are you, Xiao Zhong? How about studying in the Ruan Mansion? How many more doctors are there now, Dr. Zhong?"
This person is Zhong Wei, the son of the "Nine-Bud Miracle Doctor" Zhong Taiping. With Meng Qi's help, he enters the Ruan family and becomes a guest minister.
Zhong Wei puffed up his chest and said, "Look, Kuangdao knows me": "The Ruan family treats people fairly, and whatever you put in, you get rewards. Compared with when I was at home, my strength has greatly improved, and I opened my eyes half a year ago. "
"My father has become a guest of the Ruan family and is currently in the capital of God."
Meng Qi nodded with a smile. It seemed that Zhong Taiping, who had a weird temper, finally couldn't bear the temptation of becoming a location. He joined the Ruan family and became a guest minister. For him, although he would not change the ancestral martial arts, he would have the Ruan family master or A top expert will give you guidance and help you figure out omissions, and your hopes will definitely increase.
The Ruan family obviously also attaches great importance to Zhong Taiping, who has excellent medical skills.
"Congratulations on that." Meng Qi said casually, but the teenagers hiding around the door felt that he was open-minded and heroic.
Zhong Wei smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. He hurriedly led Meng Qi inside and walked through the tree-lined path with the faint sound of the piano.
Suddenly, he remembered something and whispered: "Master Su, when Duan Rui was kidnapped, was there any consequences?"
Duan Rui is a former Shaolin hunter who became a demon by practicing the "Yi Jin Jing" in reverse order and split his demonic personality.
"No." Meng Qi had no news about Duan Rui, whether it was from Six Doors or other channels.
Zhong Wei's voice became lower and lower: "Years ago, I returned to Changchuan to visit the grave, and I seemed to see Duan Rui's back by chance, but I was in a hurry and couldn't confirm it, so I didn't tell anyone."
There was something in his expression that said he couldn't confirm it. He clearly felt that he had to tell Mr. Su.
"Well done." Meng Qi praised.
Duan Rui is involved in a Shaolin traitor, which is of great importance. Currently, it is a good thing that only he and Zhong Wei know his whereabouts. When the time comes, he will inform the master through his junior brother and let him make the decision.
Nine months ago, Zhenhui, who practiced holding flowers with fingers to reach the six orifices, began to travel down the mountain. Unfortunately, Meng Qi went to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Now it is said that Zhenhui has opened the seven orifices, and the inner world has begun to form. With the "hands holding flowers with fingers", this Shaolin seventy-two The most powerful of the stunts, he was ranked in the top twenty on the list, surpassing Yao Xingliu and Yao Xiaogui. Of course, he was still not as powerful as Yang He, who was in the top ten with his eight orifices.
Turning around the quiet path, there is a pond-like lake in front of you, with small buildings built next to it. It follows the undulations of the terrain, coincident with the principles of heaven and earth, and seems to be one with the faint water surface.
"Isn't it a banquet?" Meng Qi was also a guest in places such as Suyuan. This should be a place to entertain guests privately, not a banquet place.
Zhong Wei smiled and said, "This is a private invitation."
Uh, Meng Qi frowned, does the snack guy really have something important to do?
Entering the small building, Meng Qi first saw an old man. He had a pale face and a half-white beard, but he was full of energy and did not look old at all. If he dyed his beard black, some people would believe him if he was forty.
The old man's imposing manner made the small building echo with the sound of an illusory piano, so Meng Qi subconsciously looked at him.
And Ruan Yushu stood beside him, still cold and handsome in white clothes, just like a fairy from the Moon Palace.
The old man's eyes were sharp, and he seemed to have a clear view of Meng Qi. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Yes, you can reach such a state before you are twenty. I haven't seen it in many years. Su Wuming was also in the second year of his life." It was only in his early teens that he was put on death row.”
"Thank you very much, senior." Meng Qi showed respect for the elderly and the virtuous.
"This is my uncle, who is in charge of Honglu Temple." Ruan Yushu introduced.
Mrs. Ruan married late and had children late. Although Ruan Yushu's father was his legitimate son, he was the youngest of his generation and was quite different in age from his previous brothers. Therefore, it was normal for Ruan Yushu's uncle to look like her grandfather.
Meng Qi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Mrs. Ruan was here. He was a famous figure. He was in the top ten of the list many years ago. Even though he had retreated to the Ruan family's ancestral home in Langya, he had not done anything for a long time and fell outside the top ten. But no one dares to look down upon it.
Ruan Yushu's uncle laughed and said: "My twenty-one mother is the most ambitious and seldom praises her. To be able to get her repeated expectations, I am naturally curious, so I took the liberty to invite her to meet her."
"Now that I have seen it, my reputation is well-deserved, and I can leave with all my joy."
Amid laughter, he walked away with no intention of entertaining Meng Qi.
Meng Qi wiped away the non-existent cold sweat: "It is often said that there are many crazy people in the Ruan family. When I saw them today, it turned out to be true."
Ruan Yushu said calmly: "I asked my uncle to see you today."
"Ah?" Meng Qi looked at her confused.
"Today you return to Su's house." Ruan Yushu seemed to be saying something natural.
I'm afraid that the Su family will embarrass me... Meng Qi was suddenly moved and said with a smile: "You are really smart and do things flawlessly."
Ruan Yushu did not show a smile, but his big eyes were narrowed and curved like crescent moons.
After chatting for a while, Meng Qi talked about Wang Zai's father. The two of them were puzzled. The Wang family was inherited from Confucianism and followed etiquette. It was not his style to invite others on their first day back home.
With this question in mind, Meng Qi arrived at Huanhou Mansion and met Wang Wenxian, Wang Zai's father, in the hall.
Wang Wenxian also has a Chinese character face, and seems to be printed in the same mold as Wang Zai, but he has a beard and has a mature and profound temperament.
After a few casual greetings, he invited Meng Qi to sit down for a meal. Every move he made was in accordance with etiquette, and he ate in a standard manner without saying a word. Meng Qi also became serious, but did not feel it was troublesome.
After finishing the meal, Meng Qicai found the opportunity to ask: "Uncle, has Brother Wang Zai ever been to Beijing?"
He thought that Wang Zai encouraged his father to invite him, but now it seems that it is not what he thought before.
Wang Wenxian spoke calmly: "Zai'er is coming to the capital of God to attend the Qionghua Banquet."
"I wonder what the Qionghua Banquet is about?" Meng Qi took the opportunity to ask.
Wang Wenxian shook his head: "The emperor has his own opinions, and I don't know about it. I only know that important ministers or princes can bring one person to the banquet. Zai'er wanted to take the shortcut to Zhongnan because he missed the last martial arts competition."
After Wang Zai lost to Meng Qi last time, he felt deeply that he was inadequate, gave up martial arts, and started traveling again.
The mysterious Qionghua Banquet... Meng Qi frowned and said, "I wonder why uncle invites you?"
Wang Wenxian said: "Zai'er has praised you in many letters. I am very curious about it. What you said this morning won my heart."
"Huh?" Meng Qi looked at him puzzled.
Wang Wenxian stroked his beard: "Aim high and don't be greedy for a title. Others may think you are bluffing, but I believe you are not. Even if you don't have a title, if I improve myself step by step, what can I gain?"
"The title is orthodox and cannot be messed with. But to this day, who in the Wang family can turn a deaf ear to my words?"
Meng Qi somewhat understood that Wang Wenxian was afraid that his son's friend would make a mistake, so he deliberately used himself as an example to encourage himself, and at the same time, to avoid civil strife in the Su family.
He is really a strong man who is accomplished in Confucianism and Taoism...
"Thank you uncle for the tip. My nephew is obsessed with martial arts, and glory and wealth will not disturb his soul." Meng Qi said sincerely.
Wang Wenxian nodded: "There is one more thing. I have to remind you that the chief bodyguard of the Zhongzhou Bodyguard Bureau had a relationship with me, but he failed to wait until I got the letter to rescue him. He died tragically outside the city of God. It seems like the actions of Mie Tianmen and Luo Jiao."
"You have grievances with them, so be careful. Although the city of God is safe, it is not absolute. As long as you act quickly enough and have a secret place to hide, you can still do something. For example, some time ago, the guests of the Jin Palace were exposed in broad daylight. Killed next."
I killed that... Meng Qi said silently in his heart, and frowned at the same time. It seems unusual that the Zhongzhou Escort Agency could attract Luo Jiao and Mie Tianmen's exterior scene. Gu Changqing is carrying half of the escort object. Is there any danger? ?
He pondered for a moment and decided to believe in the "Haoran Qi" and Wang Zai, and tell the truth about his rescue of Gu Changqing.
"Find your friend as soon as possible and send him to my house." Wang Wenxian said without hesitation.
At present, Meng Qi doesn't know where Gu Changqing is hiding. He only has contact methods. Wang Wenxian has a high position and his every move attracts attention, so he doesn't look for it directly.
However, he also made a promise: "If there is any need for me to take action, just speak up."
Meng Qi thanked Wang Wenxian and returned to Su Mansion. It was already dark and the moonlight was thick.
He pondered this matter and walked very fast, planning to contact Gu Changqing tonight. As he walked, he arrived at the river in the city and saw the sparkling water.
Meng Qi's reflection was reflected in the water, and he was suddenly startled. He and Wang Wenxian knew that the escort was in Gu Changqing's hands, but Luo Jiao and Mie Tian Clan didn't know, and they might think that they had swallowed it!
Oops, it's not Changqing who's in danger, but me... Meng Qi's heart was on guard, his energy and mind were restrained, and he sensed his surroundings, fearing that Gu Xiaosang would jump out.
He left the river and planned to return to the Su Mansion first, and ask Wang Wenxian to look for Gu Changqing together tomorrow!
After walking a few steps, he suddenly felt inexplicably irritated. If he hadn't been on guard before, he might not have felt this way!
At this moment, purple thunder lit up, and a masked figure suddenly flew down from the nearby trees.
Nine Heavens Thunder God?
Shinhwa's location powerhouse?
Boom!
The thunder knife struck out five times at the same time, and purple lightning burst out, swallowing up the shore!
