Once it becomes clear what the enemy is trying to hide, all the mysteries are just Maginot Lines and are useless.
Lu Jingwen said that they had been in Suzhou and Hangzhou for more than two months, and such a long stay had already proved a problem.
[Sure enough, even in martial arts, feudal society still eats people invisibly.]
021 said.
Xu Shiqing said coldly: "It all comes down to money."
Officials and businessmen, blinded by profit, colluded with one another, stealing and gnawing until the granary was completely devoured! Now that the cats and humans who catch mice have arrived, the rats and snakes have begun to abandon their cars to save their own lives!
Suzhou and Hangzhou were prosperous, and since he was new to the area, Xu Shiqing hadn't considered this. Now that the Jinyiwei were here, couldn't he guess where all this trouble had come from? He simply lacked the key to open the door and see it with his own eyes, but the ferocious grin behind the door spoke for itself.
The young knight stepped forward, and his figure vanished into the distance in an instant. Behind him, there was a rustling sound, like a summer breeze blowing through green leaves.
"Damn, how come his Qinggong is so fast..."
A figure passed over several walls, passing by like a falling leaf. Suddenly, his body froze. Under the moonlight, there was a chill as cold as frost and snow, which made it impossible to look directly at him.
That's a broken sword!
The man in black almost held his breath. There was only one swordsman in the world who possessed such kung fu and used a broken sword!
Grandmaster, the Flower-Breaking Sword Immortal, Xu Shiqing!
At this moment, he didn't understand that he had been exposed from the beginning. He broke out in a cold sweat and was tense. In a trance, he thought he saw the scene of his own head falling to the ground.
"Who sent you?"
The person behind me spoke in a cold voice.
"...I, I said I was just curious... Do you believe me?"
Xu Shiqing: “?”
.
It doesn't matter how long the Qi and Zhou dynasties were in existence. After all, most people in the martial arts world only remember their master's master and the generation before that. Unless there's a traditional martial arts sect or a family with a long-standing martial arts tradition, who cares where the martial arts world begins?
In the eyes of today's martial arts world, there are six sects, one school, one village, five generals, one immortal, three ghosts and one thief.
The six sects refer to Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Huashan, Kunlun, and Beggars' Sect. One of them is naturally Jianmen, and the other is Beidao Villa.
The Five Generals are the five great masters who went to Guanzhong to help in the battle twenty-five years ago. They are Liu Xiangsheng, Shi Wu Yue, Yang Tianheng, Gao Pingjiang and Cui Mengliu.
One of the immortals is the sword immortal Xu Shiqing from Jinling Zhehua.
The three ghosts are the sword ghost Qiu Wuyi, who can capture ghosts and gods with one sword, the shadowless ghost Xie Chongyue, who kills people without being seen, and the piano ghost Huai Yuandao, whose music can shock the wind and rain.
And one of the thieves was Thousand Faces Jade Boy, Hua Xuanlan.
"...Are you her apprentice?" Xu Shiqing looked at the little thief in front of him with suspicion. His lightness skills could be considered a genius at this age, but it was still incomparable to his master's incredible body skills that were more elusive than a ghost and left no trace.
What's more, when Hua Xuanlan was young, it could really be said that "all the ways of thieves in the world are in her hands." It can be said that she played the game of stealing in a way that was unprecedented and unparalleled. In the end, she abstracted the idea that there is also a code of stealing, and when she felt that she had few rivals, she announced her retirement.
Xu Shiqing's forehead twitched. He thought of when he was a child and went to the palace with his master, he met a woman with unruly behavior. She was drunk and was playing horse racing and shaking dice with a group of gentlemen... She was a unique and extraordinary woman in the world.
At that time, the Prince of Qi was the regent and had great power in the court. Liu Xiangsheng was well-known in the martial arts world and was actually the emperor's teacher in the palace. As the latter's most respected disciple, Xu Shiqing was very powerful in the palace.
But in front of this woman, he was flattened and suffered heavy losses.
Xu Shiqing remembered how badly he had been deceived that time, and suddenly a headache came over him: "Tiqi? Why wasn't he with his companions?"
The Tiqi are the Jinyiwei.
The young man in front of him was stunned for a moment: "Someone from the capital is coming?"
!
Xu Shiqing frowned. This guy is not a Jinyiwei.
Han Chengyu shuddered, understood the meaning of the look, turned around and was about to run.
However, the next second, a hand held him down firmly without any resistance.
Han Chengyu was in tears.
"Okay, okay."
"I'll tell you everything...don't, don't hit me!"
Where did Hua Xuanlan go after leaving the palace? Why did she take such a little kid as her apprentice?
The situation at the scene was very delicate. It seemed that Xu Shiqing, a grown man, was bullying a young boy who had not even reached adulthood. It was quite shameful.
Xu Shiqing was shocked: "Let's go, it's not suitable to stay here for long, or do you want to blow the cold wind with me?"
He let go of his hand, and Han Chengyu knew that he could not escape from the clutches of this great master, so he followed the young man obediently, secretly complaining in his heart: What bad luck, what bad luck, curiosity really killed the cat!
Who knew that the exiled immortal in the legend would be such a cold-faced devil!
.
Shili Pavilion.
It was curfew time and the lights in the inn were turned off.
Xu Shiqing and Han Chengyu had climbed in through the window. After a brief commotion, the innkeeper hurried over, cursing as he walked: "Xu Shiqing, you debt collector, what's going on this time?"
"It's a life-threatening matter." Xu Shiqing rolled his eyes.
He Wengu, the deputy leader who truly controlled the Jianmen's affairs and provided financial support, said solemnly, "What's going on?"
He and Xu Shiqing arrived in Suzhou and Hangzhou at the same time, and they knew no more than him. Jianmen's sphere of influence was in Bianjing, and Suzhou and Hangzhou were far away from their reach, so they really tried their best.
"That person wants to take action against corruption in Suhang." Xu Shiqing said concisely.
Han Chengyu moved his ears and said, "I pretended not to hear that."
"...Who is this?" He Wen Gu looked at him with a hint of disdain.
Xu Shiqing said: "Disciple Hua Xuanlan."
