Aggrieved Fish Sprite

There was chaos in front of the city gate of Run County.

Dragging the family and carrying the mouth, they used a few carts to bring the soft gentry and wealthy households to drive their family servants and quarrel with the soldiers guarding the city.

The city gate officer was in a state of desperation, and the soldiers under him were also a little out of their minds. Their attitude when blocking the crowds attacking the city gate was far less tough than last night.

The weird whirlwind that has just risen from the City God's Temple, no matter whether it is a monster or not, has already shown that it is not something they can resist. Who would despise their own longevity?

"Last night there was a loud noise outside the city, and the ground trembled faintly. I heard that something invisible broke into the barracks..."

"Hiss! The fire of the sweet spring soup?"

"Who knows? Maybe the government has long known that evildoers are responsible... They wanted to catch the monsters and eat their flesh and inner alchemy, but the monsters desperately resisted and escaped with serious injuries. The meat that has been cooked for 800 years can prolong life, that’s what the sorceresses in my hometown say.”

"Is that so?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and even the soldiers guarding the city fell into confusion.

Could it be that they were all deceived by the county magistrate?

Shopkeeper Sun who was hiding in the crowd was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but the current situation was exactly what they needed. Only when the county town was in complete chaos could their people hiding in the city escape smoothly, so not only could he not To prevent it, but also to add fuel to the flames of the monster.

"No, Yizai doesn't know about this! After the fire broke out yesterday, our shopkeeper and some old gentlemen from Dongcheng rushed to the government office. If there is anyone who is most suspicious about this matter, it must be..."

The caller looked at the soldiers on the other side of the city gate, suddenly looked scared, and changed his words vaguely, "It must be someone who can dispatch troops!"

The people had no time to react, and a broken voice in the crowd yelled: "You bastard, what are you talking about, this is not the county lieutenant, but the county lieutenant's cronies! They tossed Run County like this, and now the monsters are here to take revenge, so don't let them go!" How about scolding everyone? My master also has distant relatives who are officials, who is afraid of who will fail?"

"That's right, the wrong has its head and the debt has its owner! Find someone who deserves revenge!"

"Look at what my brother said, you know how to divide people after killing monsters? Even ghost zombies can't avoid harming innocent brains! Open the city gate and save the lives of the villagers!"

"Open the city gate!"

The provocative shouts made people more and more panicked.

The battle array attacking the city gate became larger, and the defenders of the city faintly collapsed.

Originally, these squires were people they could not afford to offend. It was okay to beat up those servants, but if they wanted to do something serious, it was broad daylight and it was difficult to do anything.So the city gate officer climbed up the steps of the city wall and shouted at the crowd: "There are no monsters in the city, this is a rumor! Catch those who talk nonsense!"

How could the crowd listen, especially the people who were only watching the excitement near the city gate, their expressions changed drastically when they heard those words, and they hurried back to pack their bags.

The city gate officer saw that the situation was about to get out of control. He was afraid of taking responsibility, and even more afraid that the county magistrate would chop off his head afterwards. In desperation, he shouted: "The rumor of the monster was released by the bandits. The city gate cannot be opened. The bandits want to kill him." You have to blend in with the crowd and escape, there are no demons in the city..."

Before he could finish his last sentence, the crowd was in total chaos.

Thieves are among them? ?

Whether it's bandits or monsters, they will kill people!

In particular, there are people with bad intentions among the soldiers guarding the city, and it is completely hopeless now.

"...Don't listen to the boss, there are indeed no monsters, and there may be such a battle. Do you believe that it is the bandits who screamed in the mountains and forests?"

The soldiers who heard this nodded instinctively, yes, is the wall hard or the bone hard?Can the beam be carried or can I carry it?Hard stop is to die?

The people in front were afraid of the bandits and wanted to run away, but those behind didn't hear the words of the city gate officer and squeezed forward desperately. They rushed past the soldiers who wanted to retreat. They slapped the door and eager to get out.

Shopkeeper Sun winked at his subordinates, who immediately passed the order on.

"Whoosh."

Several people jumped out one after another, kicked down the city gate officer, pried the cable, and quickly pulled out the door bolt.

The heavy city gate was immediately pushed open slowly by everyone.

The crowd cheered and rushed out, during which some people were unable to dodge and fell to the ground.

But no one cares about their lives at this time.

A woman screamed and stretched out her hand. Her child was drowned in the crowd, and she was squeezed against the wall of the city gate and could not move.

In the chaos, the woman's mournful cries could not be heard at all, only her painfully distorted face could be seen.

Suddenly, an invisible force pushed the crowd, and the fleeing people staggered and stood unsteadily, as if a demon wind had blown them.

"Demon! There really are demons!"

The squire's carriage was almost overturned, people recoiled in horror, and the ground was full of squeezed shoes.

The woman just felt a flash in front of her eyes, and there was a solid baby in her arms, it was her child who was pushed down.

The child's forehead was broken, and there were a few footprints on his body, and he was crying loudly.

The woman didn't know how the child came back. She heard the crowd shouting monsters in her ears, and subconsciously hugged the child tightly, her face pale.

No one saw the shadow of a person in "Yaofeng" land on Shopkeeper Sun's carriage, and he lifted the curtain and entered without a sound.

"Lord."

Shopkeeper Sun respectfully gave up a seat.

The man in the bamboo hat nodded slightly, and looked coldly at the frightened woman holding the child.

"Thanks to the lord's mercy, the child was lucky enough to save his life." Shopkeeper Sun knew what happened just now, he was not surprised.

Even a murderous demon will show kindness occasionally, let alone a man in a bamboo hat who is a disciple of King Midi.

"Only children in the world still have spirituality, it's a pity to die, but—"

The man in the bamboo hat changed the subject and said with half-closed eyes: "Today is a fluke, but tomorrow will surely perish. That woman is carrying a bag and a bag on her shoulders, and she refuses to take down even the smallest of money and silk, and she still holds the child in her hand, that's all. How can there be no accidents in the crowd? People’s hearts have always been like this. They don’t want to give up what they have already held in their hands, and they want everything they don’t get. It’s a pity to keep it.”

It's a pity that the world will be chaotic and wars will start.

The child is fine today, but the woman will die if she is negligent in the future, this is what the bamboo hat man said.

Shopkeeper Sun buried his head in silence, he had seen similar things more than once.

This time it was to save people, and sometimes the people in bamboo hats would suddenly kill people and take away innocent children.

——Su Lier, the killer of Piaoping Pavilion, is the most promising child "raised" by the protagonist.

The carriage moved slowly with the crowd, and many people were forced to follow the flow of people. They looked around in fear, but fortunately, that "demon wind" did not appear again.

Shopkeeper Sun looked at the gradually receding city wall and the artillery on it, and slowly felt distressed.

A great situation is ruined overnight.

"Since you have discarded it, don't think about it again." The man in the bamboo hat said in a cold tone.

Shopkeeper Sun hesitated to speak, his heart sank when he saw the man in the bamboo hat returning alone without bringing back a master from the Xiliang Kingdom who practiced the Konghua Formation.The news is true, now there is no excuse to deceive myself, the national teacher of the Chu Dynasty really did not die, and miraculously rejuvenated.

"My lord, now Fengxing Pavilion is no longer a serious problem, we have to find ways to get rid of Meng Qi."

"wrong."

The person sitting in the car slowly took off his bamboo hat, his head was shiny and he didn't have a single hair.

Not only is there no hair, but even the eyebrows are shaved clean.

The base of the nose is broad, and the eyes are blue.

There is a leaf-shaped tattoo on the back of his ear, and the leaf veins and meridians are composed of very small Sanskrit characters, and a leaf is a scripture.

With such a peculiar appearance, it is no wonder that he had to wear a bamboo hat to cover it up, otherwise he would definitely be stared at while walking on the road.

Today, unlike the Chu Dynasty, even in Run County, where there are many caravans, people from the Western Regions with different hair and eyes are still rarely seen, and the dark-skinned Kunlun slaves are almost extinct. These people used to walk around the streets of Taijing. Frequently, even to the point where the street patrolling soldiers of Wucheng Bingma Division can speak a few words of foreign races.

Those who have the characteristics of Hu people like the Xiliang survivors, traveling with caravans in all directions are not particularly conspicuous, but people with bamboo hats are not.

"Fengxing Pavilion must be eradicated. Ants should not be underestimated, especially ants that can spread news thousands of miles away." The man in the bamboo hat raised his eyes, and there was a hint of impatience in his light blue eyes.

Shopkeeper Sun lowered his head and asked cautiously: "Then Qi Meng—"

"You wait to die."

"But this person... this person will definitely ruin our plan to restore the country. After decades of hard work, we have finally waited for the best opportunity right now. If we don't get rid of him, our lord's great cause will be difficult to achieve."

"He is no longer the old master of the Chu Dynasty." The man in the bamboo hat twitched his lips, showing a cold and sarcastic smile, and reprimanded shopkeeper Sun, "What can he have now? Hundreds of thousands of elite troops from the Chu Dynasty Is it the trust of the emperor, or is it a civil servant and military general who holds great power in the court? He is like us, a person who has been subjugated and displaced. Sun Xi, if a person has the talent of the world and the wisdom of the world, he can Do you think you can do anything you want?"

No.

There is a limit to what you can do alone.

Even if it is the best player in the world.

"Gather your hands together, don't face Meng Qi head-on, and persevere in finding trouble with him. Folding your hands again and again will really ruin my plan." The man in the bamboo hat said in a cold voice, "Tian Ji's horse racing Only by using one's own strengths against the other's weaknesses can you win a big victory. Meng Qi's advantage now is his martial arts. In the past, the holy monks of Mogatti Temple could not stop him, and I am not fully sure. I am better than Meng Qi Where is it, isn't it better that I have loyal subordinates like you, and many fellow clansmen who have the ambition to restore the country? Why should Meng Qi use his strengths to defeat my power? The sea of ​​people is vast, as long as we To destroy the Fengxing Pavilion, Meng Qi has to find out our power and destroy it by himself... Huh, is it easy? Dewei, you can make good decisions on weekdays, but it will take a long time to measure the overall situation in the future. Think a lot."

Shopkeeper Sun was convinced and kowtowed to thank the lord.

The man in the bamboo hat nodded slightly, and continued: "The rumor you just ordered people to use the opportunity to spread is not bad."

After all, there must be someone to take the blame, as long as the county magistrate is suspicious of the county lieutenant, and sees that the life and death of Li Zhubo in the barracks is unknown, and the chaos in the city cannot be resolved within ten days and a half months, then their people will be able to retreat unscathed.

"My lord, is Meng Qi's youthful appearance... related to the exercises he practiced?" Shopkeeper Sun turned his head and thought of something else.

It is said that Mogatti Temple is already a place for "cultivating evil skills" in the eyes of martial arts people in the Central Plains, but their own family knows their own affairs, no matter what kind of kung fu, can it make people rejuvenate?Meng Qi is obviously of the same generation as the Dharma King Midi.

"It's not a skill."

The man in the bamboo hat only said this, and kept silent.

Shopkeeper Sun didn't wait a long time for the next article, so he knew that the man in the bamboo hat didn't want to say more, and felt extremely regretful.

Power, strength, longevity... are the most seductive. If you can use this to make a fuss, Meng Qi will usher in countless enemies.

"This person, I will lead away."

After the bamboo hat man finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from the carriage.

***

"By the way, there is one thing that I don't know if it is considered special."

Lady Liu suddenly raised her head and said to Meng Qi, "I've never seen the upper half of his face, either wearing a bamboo hat or sitting in the dark."

"Huh?" Meng Qi asked with interest, "Have you never seen it before, or are you not trusted?"

Liu Niangzi's face turned pale, her background was a sore spot she couldn't get around.

The Han people looked down on them, and the survivors of Xiliang were short of people after returning to the country, so they accepted them.

"I...I don't think so. Maybe only my cronies know about it." Liu Niangzi calmed down and thought carefully, "He is elusive, and often only those who are in charge of the same place can see him. There are also people who practice the Konghua Formation with me. Aristocrats from the Eighth Department of the Party, we have lived and ate almost together in the past 20 years, I have never seen the true face of the lord, and naturally neither have they."

Meng Qi pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "If it's not from trust, then it's probably because of shame."

"Brother Meng!" Mo Li frowned, signaling to stop joking at this time.

"Don't be annoyed, doctor. There are many situations where you can't see people. If your appearance is very different from ordinary people, if you are particularly eye-catching in the crowd, it is not easy to show your face."

After Meng Qi finished speaking, he turned to look at the swordsman, and asked, "What about you, have you never seen your benefactor's face?"

"I don't know." The swordsman said, "I suspect that what I saw was not his real face. He looks very ordinary, but there seems to be a slight difference every time he comes. The killer is proficient in disguise. so……"

Anyway, masters are identified by breath, not by appearance.

Meng Qi was feeling disappointed, and suddenly heard the swordsman say again: "But now that I think about it, I seem to have never seen his eyes, there is always something blocking them."

The author has something to say: The bamboo hat man: Meng Qi is alone now, what is there to fear

Meng Qi: Nonsense, I still have a doctor.

Mo Li: I also got to know the new emperor of Qi Dynasty through medical treatment.

Meng Qi: I also met Gong Jun, the Commander of Jinyiwei, through Li Nu

Mo Li: I also got to know the second master of Shimo Shanzhai through medical treatment

Meng Qi: I also let Master Yuan Zhi make a breakthrough in martial arts by wearing a piece of clothing
