Chapter 745: Golden Account Spy (Third update, please vote for recommendations)
Shijiabao is not a famous family that has been passed down for many generations. To be precise, it was precisely because of Shi Tianqi, a martial arts giant, that it gradually reached its current situation. The foundation was not deep, the elders were not strong, and the master of the castle was suddenly killed. Everyone seemed panicked, helpless, noisy and confused about the incident. Ling Yue who appeared at this time was naturally regarded as a life-saving straw by them.
"Does anyone in the castle know why your father is out?" Ling Yue traveled across the rivers and lakes for many years and experienced countless hardships. After getting over the initial shock and grief, he sorted out the clues and asked Shi Xiaodang and Shi Xiaoxiu the most critical questions.
Meng Qi put his sword in the mustard ring, his hands hanging down naturally, and he stood beside him like a pine tree. He didn't interrupt and listened quietly.
The Shi family is not related to me, so I don't need to spend too much effort on them, but if I can spot a problem, I don't mind helping. After all, everyone in the world knows that "Crazy Sword" Su Meng has always been heroic and courageous!
Shi Xiaodang and Shi Xiaoxiu looked at each other and shook their heads sadly: "After nightfall, we asked Housekeeper Zhou and the servants and maids who served my father. They only knew that at dusk, my father left the study in a hurry, with a solemn face, and left the castle in the blink of an eye. "
Butler Zhou and others behind him nodded, supporting the two young masters.
Ling Yue sighed and said: "Actually, the old beggar and your father are going to have a life-and-death battle tonight to reach the second level of the ladder. Su Shaoxia is the witness. However, after waiting for a long time, you still haven't seen your father, so he came to the door."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Shi Xiaoxiu and Shi Xiaodang turned pale. Could it be that their father died under Uncle Ling's stick? They had a life-and-death fight, and there were witnesses, so they must have signed a corresponding contract. It would not be possible to seek revenge in an honest way.
After hearing this, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the heroic and steady Meng Qi, and said hurriedly: "Did my father go out in a hurry just to attend the appointment with my uncle, and ended up being assassinated on the way?"
They had seen Meng Qi's image in Changle and could initially confirm that the person in front of them was real. "Crazy Sword" Su Meng had a reputation for chivalry all over the world. Even if he was thrown dirty by the evil devil, "True Immortal Chuyang" would clarify it. With his testimony, there is no doubt that the father did not keep the appointment.
Ling Yue shook his head and said: "The old beggar and Su Shaoxia met by chance, and we asked him to be a witness later. The person who assassinated your father couldn't have known about it in advance. Why didn't you wait until your father and the old beggar fought until both sides were hurt before taking action? Reduce risk and increase likelihood of success?”
The role of a witness is, first, to have high moral character and prestige, so that what they say has weight and makes people believe it; second, to prevent someone from using dirty tricks in the fight of life and death, such as ambushing a helper; third, to prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation and profiting from it.
"Besides, your father is a person who has no responsibility for his actions. He has a life-and-death contract. He will definitely leave you a few words before departure. He left in such a hurry, so he must have other important matters." Ling Yue judged.
Having said this, he said seriously: "The old beggar made an agreement with your father. If I die in the battle of life and death, he will treat my disciple as his own disciple. If he dies, what happens in Shijiabao will be the old beggar's business." , go through fire and water, and survive at all costs, even if the battle of life and death is unsuccessful, the old beggar will still bear it. "
This sentence greatly stabilized the hearts of people in Shijiabao. Shi Xiaoxiu, who was strong on self-support, immediately shed tears and cried miserably.
Meng Qi, who was wearing a green shirt and had the calmness of teaching the Tao Te Ching for many days, suddenly said: "Judging from the current situation, the Lord of the Stone Castle is not attending a life-or-death appointment. If it was something that had been arranged in advance, he would I won’t set the duel date for today, because after finishing other things, how can I keep my body and mind in peak condition?”
"In other words, something unexpected happened that made him leave the fort. Since it was an emergency, how was it passed on to him? Following this line of thinking, we should be able to find some clues."
Concern leads to chaos. Ling Yue, Housekeeper Zhou and others are not newbies in the world. They should have thought of this aspect earlier, but they have been entangled in whether Shi Tianqi left any words or notes. Now Meng Qi explained it clearly. Once, you will wake up immediately.
Butler Zhou exclaimed: "After dinner, I seemed to hear the sound of birdsong coming from the study. I didn't care at the time. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it was a secret message!"
Shi Xiaodang brother and sister were very excited, turned around and ran towards Shi Tianqi's study. Ling Yue followed closely with a solemn expression on his face, and Meng Qi followed slowly.
Shi Tianqi's study is neatly tidied, with pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and books on literature and entertainment neatly arranged in categories, showing that the owner is meticulous and hates clutter.
This kind of person doesn't put things randomly, and they must be where they should be... Meng Qi just took a glance and made this judgment.
Because of this, Shi Xiaoxiu only searched in the place where Shi Tianqi usually pressed the message note, without looking too much elsewhere. Now he walked to a bookshelf, opened the secret door, and took out the secret reports placed in chronological order. , and pulled out the last letter.
That letter cannot be called a letter, it is just a small piece of paper as wide as an index finger, with an eagle, a golden tent, and a docked wolf drawn on it. The three figures overlap each other in a strange way, which is extremely difficult to imitate. It looks like The child scribbled randomly, and besides that, there were only three words on the note: "Luohunjian".
"Luohunjian?" Shi Xiaodang turned around suddenly, his eyes red.
Luohun Stream has steep terrain and beautiful scenery. It is only two to three hundred miles away from Shijiabao, so he is quite familiar with it!
"Wait a minute." Ling Yue stretched out his hand to stop him, then pointed at the strange picture and asked, "Is this a secret message?"
Shi Xiaodang and Shi Xiaoxiu shook their heads in confusion, but Butler Zhou took a breath and said: "Lone Wolf!"
"Lone wolf?" When Meng Qi heard this name, he thought of the grassland, not to mention the eagles and golden tents on it.
Butler Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "Only the castle master and the old man know about this matter. It is one of the secrets in the castle."
"The Lord of the Castle has inextricably linked relationships with the Changle Gao Family, Huamei Villa and other aristocratic sects. He has always helped them find out the secrets of the grassland during exchanges. Later, he secretly cultivated a grassland orphan and sent it to the gold through the hands of others. Because we provided information, he has repeatedly performed meritorious deeds and gained Guldo's trust. The superimposed pattern of the broken-tailed wolf, the golden tent and the eagle is his secret mark."
The trusted agent of the Golden Account suddenly left the grassland and returned to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The information he brought must be very important and urgent, and he couldn't wait for the normal process... No wonder Shi Tianqi's face was solemn and he left in a hurry without leaving a word! Meng Qiruo said thoughtfully.
Ling Yue was famous for fighting against the grassland. He didn't dare to delay any longer, picked up Butler Zhou and flew towards Luohun Stream.
Meng Qi has been favored by Huamei Villa and Chunyang Sect many times. His eldest brother Doubi is also from the Northern Zhou Dynasty royal family. Hearing that the matter is related to the grassland, he has no obligation to refuse and follows him to Luohun Stream.
The Shi brothers and sisters were just enlightened and had no choice but to ask an elder on location to take them with them.
The Luohun Stream was not far away. Not long after, Meng Qi and others flew up to the sky. They saw a water stream splitting the mountain range, rushing almost like a waterfall. The water mist it stirred up was filled with mist, making it look like a fairyland.
As soon as his eyes were opened, Meng Qi looked down from a high position and found the traces with a casual glance, and landed immediately.
This is a mountain forest next to a water stream. Now, with a certain point as the center, there are signs of tree death in a large area, and at that point, two corpses are lying.
"Fort Master!" Steward Zhou stared at it and shouted sadly.
Ling Yue's eyes were reddish and his eyes were sad. He walked to a corpse and fell to the ground. He was wearing a black robe with a special texture. It was obviously a treasure-level protective gear. There was a thin wound on the back of his head.
The corpse was turned over, and the Shi brothers and sisters who had just arrived burst into tears. It was Shi Tianqi. He had no other wounds on his body except the one on the back of his head!
While Ling Yue was deep in thought, he saw Meng Qi coming over. He knelt down to take a closer look and asked expectantly: "Is there anything to gain?"
"Kill with one sword. The control of the explosion of sword energy is extremely good. It has just destroyed the soul and crushed the brains, but it has not spread out. For the killer, this consumes the least and leaves room to guard against sudden changes." Meng Qi While watching, he said, "With the murderer's strength, if the sword energy exploded completely, it would be enough to destroy the surrounding mountain peaks, not to mention the corpses. But he did not do this, and the Lord of the Stone Castle's shirt, treasured soldiers, and mustard ring were all there, indicating that the murderer After the attack, he immediately ran away without doing anything unnecessary."
"This is the purest assassin, the assassin who can overcome greed."
Ling Yue's expression suddenly changed: "Burenlou's Qing-level or Blue-level assassins are here just to silence them!"
Isn't Renlou a green-level or blue-level assassin? Shi Xiaoxiu's body swayed and she almost fainted.
Looking for revenge on Burenlou? It seems like no one has ever succeeded!
The corpse next to him had an obvious grassland face, and he should be the spy of the Golden Account. However, his corpse had been completely crushed by the sword energy. With a slight touch, it turned into fly ash, leaving no trace. If it hadn't been here just now, If there was no wind, Meng Qi and others might not be able to see the body!
This is not because the assassin is not pure and unprofessional, it must be the destruction of corpses required by the employer!
"Being able to recruit the young and blue assassins of Burenlou, you can imagine how important that information is." Meng Qi frowned slightly. Now it seems that the clues have been broken.
Shi Xiaodang and Shi Xiaoxiu opened the mustard ring but could not find anything relevant, so they had to put away their father's treasured weapon, picked up his body, and said with a sad expression: "I don't know who is looking for Buren Tower..."
Eighty-nine percent of it is a golden tent, which is more dangerous than Buren Tower... Meng Qi sighed, wondering what was brewing in the grassland?
It's a pity that the clue has been cut off!
At this moment, Meng Qi had a premonition in his heart and suddenly closed his eyes. He felt that deep in the mist, there seemed to be a dark shadow hidden. It was difficult to accurately detect the location of the shadow. He was quietly peeping at himself and others, patiently, Focus, scary!
Burenlou blue-level assassin? This thought suddenly appeared in Meng Qi's mind. He didn't even have time to take out his sword, and used his palm instead of a soldier, fully alert.
The shadow seemed to be aware of Meng Qi's perception. It retreated slightly and disappeared into the mountain stream.
"Su Shaoxia?" Ling Yue, Shi Xiaoxiu and others were stunned by Meng Qi's reaction.
Meng Qi breathed out and said in a deep voice: "The Qing-level and Blue-level assassins of Burenlou are still nearby."
He paused and said solemnly:
"It means there are still clues that have not been erased!"
