Chapter 618 First Arrival at Linhai
Linhai, the whole city is in mourning, but it can't hide the spring flowers, the gentle breeze and the warm sun.
The carriage passed through the long and wide streets, turned into the North City where the noble families gathered, and stopped in front of a rather luxurious inn after turning seven or eight times. Meng Qi, Madam Baihua and Yingning then moved into the booked guest room.
In the middle of the night, led by Madam Baihua, they quietly sneaked to the front of a certain sprawling mansion, passed through the half-opened small door and the half-open formation, and entered an embroidered building in the back garden under the guidance of a taciturn servant.
"We will hide here for the time being." After packing up, Madam Baihua looked at Meng Qi with a charming smile, and Yingning stood behind her.
Meng Qi nodded slightly, without commenting.
On the way here, Yingning did not make any seductive moves. Instead, she acted like a lady from a noble family, dodging and shying, giving people a feeling of being close yet distant, affectionate yet conservative. She grasped the scale very well, neither cold and evasive, nor enthusiastic and flattering, which devalued expectations.
In this regard, Meng Qi only admired with a scrutinizing eye, without any active behavior, making many of Madam Baihua and Yingning's actions with hidden meanings go to waste.
Madam Baihua stood by the window, looking at the colorful gardens and said, "Mr. Dushou, do you know whose house this is?"
"I would like to hear more." Meng Qi walked to the window with his hands behind his back.
"Haha, we hide here, no one can think of it. Even if we do something in Linhai, as long as we are not caught or pursued on the spot, no one will suspect this place." Madam Baihua smiled and swayed slightly, extremely beautiful, "It is the ancestral home of the Zhu family."
"Zhu family..." Meng Qi did not hide his surprise.
Before the Yun family became prosperous, the ancestors of the Zhu and Tie families were already family servants. After that, the two families followed each other for generations, loyally, and shared the rise and fall. Even if they were granted freedom and established their own families, they still regarded themselves as family servants, always serving as the left and right leaders of the Yun family's secret guards, only obeying the orders of the head of the family and not interfering in the family's internal affairs. They have always been considered one of the pillars of the Yun family.
In this Yun family dispute, they stayed out of the outside world and were an important target for all parties to fight for and win over.
Such families have colluded with evil demons?
When Meng Qi was lamenting that flowers do not last forever, Madam Baihua explained: "The Zhu family has secretly served Yun Jiuye Yun Feiyang. He arranged for us to hide here. The Zhu family does not know our specific identities."
So that's it... Meng Qi suddenly realized: "We support Yun Jiuye?"
The children of the Yun family who are qualified to compete are actually not the children and grandchildren of Grandpa Yun, but the great-grandchildren. He lived too long and almost outlived two generations. The correct name at home is "Grandpa Yun".
Master Yun Jiu is a very important contender among the children of this generation. He is a legitimate son, about sixty years old, and has the fifth-level cultivation. If he did not have a legitimate brother, Master Yun Er, Yun Feihu, he would be an excellent candidate for the head of the family.
In addition to the two brothers, there are two contenders, Master Yun Liu and Master Yun Shisan. The former is seventy years old and the sixth level. He was once in the top ten of the human list and has a high chance of being promoted to a master. His grandfather's generation is also considered a legitimate son. His status is not much worse than Yun Er and Yun Jiu, but his strength and potential are greater. For the Yun family, which is closer to the customs of the East China Sea, this is the best candidate.
Master Yun Shisan is the father of Miss Yun Qi. Because the family is more male than female and has very few daughters, Miss Yun Qi is favored by Old Master Yun. He is valued by the old man Yun, and he is also very competitive, fair, and smooth. His own strength is not bad. He has already stepped over the first level of the ladder in his early fifties. In the past ten years, he has been the actual host of the family's affairs. He is considered to be the candidate for the head of the family deliberately cultivated by Old Master Yun.
Hearing Meng Qi's question, Madam Baihua chuckled and said, "Master Yun Jiu is generous and generous, and he values friendship and loyalty, especially to his confidante."
That's all, no need to say more!
In the next few days, Madam Baihua and Yingning often went out, their whereabouts were secretive, and Meng Qi watched from the sidelines, not impatient or curious, and concentrated on cultivation.
The biggest advantage of ascending to heaven in one step is that you can initially think about the path. The resonance and induction of certain laws of the inner world and the outer world are the strongest, that is, the closest to the law. This can save a lot of time and effort when operating the law, interweaving or initially integrating the law, and avoid many detours, so as not to encounter bottlenecks. Therefore, when passing the first two levels of the ladder, people can get twice the result with half the effort!
The acupoints were opened, the inner scene was operated secretly, and the law was revealed. Meng Qi's vicinity became dark and gloomy, which was extremely terrifying. Through the changes in his inner world caused by external interference, he could distinguish and sense the seemingly unchanging laws and understand the law and principles contained therein.
Four days later, Madam Baihua brought Yingning to knock on Meng Qi's door.
"Mr. Dushou is really patient. He neither asks about the development of Linhai nor asks about our arrangements or what we are doing." Madam Baihua looked at Meng Qi, who opened the door calmly, with a "sad face". His slightly frosty vicissitudes made him seem to be always calm and composed.
Meng Qi glanced at them and chuckled: "The Yun family has nothing to do with me. It doesn't matter to me who can become the head of the family. There is no need to worry."
"As for you ladies, you will definitely not pin your hopes on an outsider like me for such an important matter. I believe there are other helpers. I just need to do what you ask. Miss Yingning, am I right?"
He switched between "someone" and "old man" depending on the person, which made Yingning blush.
Madam Baihua took her with him whenever she did anything. This girl is not simple... Meng Qi looked away and looked at Madam Baihua.
"Mr. Poisonous Hand blends Buddhism with demonic power, and his character is really outstanding." Mrs. Baihua praised her sincerely or falsely, not knowing whether it was true or not. "Today is the time to ask Mr. to take action."
"What's the matter?" Meng Qi turned around and let the two women enter the room.
Madam Baihua smiled and said, "The boy I was looking for after the ghost show up."
"Him?" Meng Qi walked to the window with his hands behind his hands.
"Yes, although he is a heretic, his evil deeds are not obvious, he has a wide circle of friends, and has some friendship with many powerful people in the righteous path. Therefore, he secretly sneaked into Linhai at some time and used this to secretly meet the Tie family and the Zhu family. Mr. Yan Yun He died not at the end of his life, but was assassinated. Please report it to Donghai Sword Manor and investigate the matter thoroughly before appointing the head of the family." Madam Baihua suppressed her smile and looked quite solemn.
"Mr. Yun was assassinated and ended his life?" Meng Qi seemed surprised, but in fact he was curious that he, the "elixir seller", could detect the simple problem. How did this inexplicable boy know?
Could it be that there were obvious traces at that time, but if that was the case, why didn't others see it?
Mrs. Baihua's thin eyebrows wrinkled: "He said that master-level experts have a relatively clear grasp of their own life span, and will have a premonition when the end is coming, such as building tombs in advance, arranging funeral arrangements, etc. But why did a figure like Mr. Yun suddenly die without appointing a family head, causing the Yun family to fall into disputes? "
"Perhaps someone deliberately destroyed these because it was not good for themselves?" Meng Qi raised doubts.
And the biggest doubt in his mind is that it sounds like no one knows that Mr. Yun bought two life-extending pills, so there is no way he will die at the end of his life in the near future!
How is this going?
Ying Ning interjected from the side: "He said that he had obtained strong evidence and was only waiting to throw it out at the critical moment, so the heads of the Tie family and the Zhu family were skeptical."
"What do you want me to do?" Meng Qi looked at Ying Ning and asked.
"Ask Mr. Poison Hand to deal with Wu Hengjian." Madam Baihua smiled again, "But don't kill him. It's best to give him the illusion that he tried his best and finally escaped."
"Wu Hengjian? Don't kill him?" Meng Qi walked back with his hands behind his back.
Ying Ning said: "He has always called himself Wu Hengjian, but whether his real name is unknown is unknown."
Mrs. Baihua smiled charmingly and said, "What's the use of killing a guy like this who is new to outdoor scenes? Just scare him and make him think that someone is angry and wants to silence him. It's good to muddy the waters."
"Are you trying to attract others?" Meng Qi smiled slightly, not surprised and didn't care.
Mrs. Baihua blinked and looked at Meng Qi: "That's what Mr. Poisonous Hand said."
Meng Qi did not ask further questions, but laughed and said: "Wu Hengjian can avoid chasing souls and others. Isn't he a careless person? How could his whereabouts be easily exposed?"
The prerequisite for taking action is that you can find someone!
"Someone revealed his hiding place." Madam Baihua smiled very charmingly.
"I wonder who it is?" Meng Qi asked casually.
"Master Yun Shisan." Madam Baihua looked at Meng Qi with a smile, as if waiting for his surprise.
Meng Qi smiled calmly: "It's really unexpected."
How many people in the Yun family are involved with Ying Ning, a group of guys who are suspected of being a virgin?
…………
The rain is heavy and early summer is approaching.
Wu Hengjian wore a black robe and walked under the eaves on both sides. He was as fast as a ghost, disappearing in a flash. Sometimes he used escape techniques to change his position to prevent anyone from following him.
La la la, the rain beat down on the stone slabs of the long street, bringing a kind of tranquility that separates the world from the world.
Wu Hengjian slowed down slightly and suddenly remembered his plan. When the matter spreads, the mastermind behind it will definitely not be able to sit still and will find himself to silence him. When the time comes, he will deliberately let the news out and set up an ambush, so that he can catch the turtle in the jar. It is best if he can Introduce Soul Chasing Demon Lord and his gang to use their strength to solve the problem!
In this way, we can not only solve the Yun family's problems, but also eliminate our own difficulties!
Suddenly, he saw a person slowly walking through the waterfall-like rain. He was wearing a green robe, with frost-white temples. He was holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand. He looked like a middle-aged scholar who was taking a walk inspired by the heavy rain. But The vicissitudes of life and elegance are unforgettable.
As soon as he saw this man, Wu Hengjian's heart was filled with alarm. He felt the rain fade away, the dark clouds disappeared, and the long street disappeared. Only he and the strangely charming green-robed man in front of him were left between heaven and earth!
The person behind the scenes?
Leftist troll?
