But in the next moment, Qi Guze flew out. Xu Yuehuai looked at him and saw that Qi Guze was heading towards A Qi. Several accomplices appeared in the crowd and surrounded A Qi, stabbing him with daggers.
Ah Qi had traveled all over the country since childhood, encountering dangers every day, and had become numb to them.
He sneered and brandished his longsword. With a move called "Dou Zhuan Can Heng," the man opposite him screamed and curled up. With a follow-up move called "Ku Teng Yao Shu," another man lost his balance and staggered towards Ah Qi.
Qi Guze naturally knew Ah Qi's identity and predicted that these guys were here to scheme against the Crown Prince.
Before he even got close, he saw Ah Qi pointing east and striking west, south and striking north, and several masked men lying in pools of blood.
The crowd had barely recovered from their shock.
Ah Qi pointed to the opposite side and shouted, "They attacked first, so it's not wrong for me to kill them, is it?"
The county magistrate had already cowered under the table in fear. Seeing Ah Qi dealing with several thugs, he stretched out his hand and said, "You are doing justice for the people and acting on behalf of Heaven. Not only will I not blame you, but I will also commend you. Quickly, quickly, wipe them all out."
Seeing that things were not going well, the people disappeared without a trace.
Ah Qi is getting more and more excited.
As Qi Guze approached, A Qi was surrounded by several burly men. They charged left and right, attacking with spears and halberds, but A Qi handled them with ease.
It's truly unimaginable who trained Ah Qi to be so swift and incredible.
His moves may seem absurd at first glance, but upon closer examination, they reveal their formidable power.
It appears ordinary, yet it is strange.
The two stood together, and soon Xu Yuehuai arrived as well. Seeing that the situation was not good, the group of thugs hurriedly retreated.
But they were already dead, wounded, and scattered in a sorry state.
Xu Yuehuai captured a man who was half-dead and sat down on his lower back.
The man's upper body was injured, and the injuries were almost gruesome.
When Xu Yuehuai sat on him, the man immediately screamed and groaned. Xu Yuehuai saw a two-inch-wide wound on the man's back, from which blood was flowing freely. She reached out and poked the wound.
The man screamed in agony.
Xu Yuehuai was extremely satisfied with this performance and smiled sweetly.
"Hey buddy, let's have a chat."
"You...I'm going to kill...Ah! Grandma, spare me, Grandma! Please spare me."
Seeing that the guy wouldn't listen to reason, Xu Yuehuai sneered and cautiously raised her hand. "Hey, I'm asking you, who sent you here to cause trouble? There must be an organizer behind you. What other plans do you have?"
She made a move to strike, and the man was terrified. "Grandma, dear grandma, I..."
Xu Yuehuai thought he was so close to the answer, but little did he know that the answer that was about to be revealed was cut short. The man groaned for a moment, then closed his eyes and remained motionless.
Ah Qi approached, observed for a moment, and said to Xu Yuehuai, "Grandma, this person has been poisoned, and the poison is hidden in his mouth."
There are many mysterious organizations in the martial arts world. To ensure that their members do not leak secrets, they have their subordinates hide poison before taking action.
Just swallow it when necessary.
"They are suicide soldiers."
Qi Guze looked at the body. In fact, Tie Xiong had already examined the body as well.
The corpses were dressed in black, and they had neither money pouches nor any identification information on them, or even anything at all.
Ah Qi hadn't felt any fear just now, but now that it's all over, thinking about it again, he feels lingering fear.
“From now on,” Qi Guze instructed, his eyes serious, “you must be careful.”
"I see."
But Ah Qi didn't know why these guys were plotting against him. It was outrageous! He was just a lonely, poor guy, which was something Xu Yuehuai couldn't understand.
So much so that Xu Yuehuai was still brooding over it when it was time for lunch.
“Mother, you have won a great victory today. Everyone thought you would drive Zhang Baolong out of the capital and they were all looking forward to watching the show. Who knew you would be so generous and not retaliate in kind.”
To be honest, Xu Yuehuai also hated Zhang Baolong.
But she also understood that what difference would it make if one Zhang Baolong left? There would be thousands more Zhang Baolongs in the future. "Isn't harmony the most important thing in business?"
“You’ve grasped the essence of this.” Chun San Niang brought over some food and sat down opposite Xu Yuehuai. “You’ve been absent-minded most of the day; you must still be thinking about that assassin.”
"Aren't you all thinking the same thing?"
Xu Yuehuai retorted sharply.
No one was in the mood to eat.
The shopkeeper said, "Is it possible that they have been following you for a long time, trying to steal your money or something?"
“But the money is clearly with Zhou Wan, and besides, where would we get any silver these days?” Xu Yuehuai said.
Zhou Wan nodded. "If we were being followed, they would probably know everything about us, but based on the current clues, that doesn't seem to be the case."
Zhou Wan agreed with this argument.
Xu Yuehuai looked at everyone again, "Let's brainstorm! We need to figure everything out now, otherwise we'll be in big trouble if they come back."
"In broad daylight, besides, this is the capital city, right under the emperor's nose. Do you think they would do anything reckless?"
"Today we encountered danger right here in the capital, right under the emperor's nose. Don't forget that."
At this point, everyone hurriedly began to consider it seriously.
In short, we need to pay extra attention to safety in the future.
After an unknown amount of time, the shopkeeper said again, "There is another possibility: Ah Qi was born looking exactly like the person they are chasing. This is a case of mistaken identity."
"That possibility cannot be ruled out." Xu Yuehuai nodded.
"Alright, let's eat."
At his command, everyone immediately sat down and began to eat.
Starting the next day, news of Xu Yuehuai's great victory spread like wildfire. Some people even took the fish bones off the pot lid and worshipped them. The Tianxiang Tower was bustling with activity, with people coming and going.
Xu Yuehuai suggested, "Let's redecorate; business will definitely get better and better in the future."
"It's a pity we're out of money."
“I’ll figure out the money. What I mean is…” Xu Yuehuai pointed to the left and right sides, “This coffin shop next door is really unlucky. It doesn’t do much business on weekdays. Let’s acquire this shop.”
"That's a legitimate business for them to make a living; they won't give us their shop."
Chun San Niang said.
Xu Yuehua nodded, "Of course we need to make arrangements for their future. As for the shop next door, it's ours too."
If everything goes according to Xu Yuehuai's plan, the Tianxiang Restaurant will be three times larger than before, making it the largest restaurant on the entire Zhuque Street.
