[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Weapon Collector

The tea house at noon is always very lively.

The idle people who had lunch at home came to the teahouse to cleanse their stomachs and listen to storytelling or anecdotes about the rivers and lakes. The folk customs in the northwest are so bold, and there are a few tables of big men with rough voices and high-spirited discussions occupying the entire first floor. The second floor of the private room was not spared.

There are major events happening every day in the rivers and lakes, but in the northwest area, the biggest event is the massacre of Shuanghuanmen by Tianxiangtang.

"It is said that Tianxiangtang sent powerful experts to attack Sheng Batian, the master of Shuanghuanmen! Killing Sheng Batian first made them lose their backbone, and the disciples of Shuanghuanmen were in chaos! Before the main force of Tianxiangtang entered, there was already Shuanghuanmen The disciple opened the door and surrendered!"

"That Sheng Batian must think that the power of the Shuanghuan Gate is at its peak, and that's why he's so vulnerable to being indulged in wine and sex!"

"I heard that he was indeed drinking that day, and he was so drunk that he was about to lose consciousness..."

……

The waiter carefully carried the jug up to the second floor, and opened the bamboo curtain of an elegant seat. Behind the bamboo curtain, a woman in a fiery red gown was sitting lazily on a soft cushion on the ground. She supported her chin with one hand, and Playing with the already empty wine glass, a pair of dark apricot eyes on his pale face were looking out of the window absently.

After hearing the sound of the bamboo curtain being lifted, she suddenly came back to her senses, blinked, and said in a clear voice: "Tell me, is the story downstairs true?"

The shop waiter raised a professional smile, put the jug on the tray on the table, bowed and said, "You can't believe the rumors, but you have to believe them."

The woman chuckled: "You are really interesting, you don't look like a waiter at all."

After she finished speaking, she tapped her chin lightly with her slender and well-proportioned index finger, and frowned slightly: "It seems to be..."

"Huh?" The waiter leaned forward curiously, the two of them sat up and stood up, and because of his movements, the tray in his hand almost touched the woman's cheek.

At this moment, a black-green light suddenly shot out from under the tray!

A successful smile appeared on the face of the plain waiter, but in the next second, the smile turned into a cracked stone statue.

The woman in front of her sighed, she was still pointing her chin with one hand, but the other hand holding the wine glass in front of her turned an arc at some point, blocking the poisonous needle shot from under the tray.

The poisonous needle was slightly corrosive, and it barely stopped after penetrating through one layer of the wine glass. The needle tip glowed a watery black-green luster in the still somewhat damp glass.

Shen Qi sighed, and put the wine glass on the table.

"...It looks like a killer."

The shop clerk smiled stiffly and said, "The girl reacts so quickly."

Shen Qi waved her hand modestly: "Where is it, this assassin brother's ability to seize the opportunity to assassinate is also very much admired by me."

The waiter's smile finally completely disappeared. He straightened up, put down the tray in his hand, and then stuffed a cylindrical hidden weapon under the tray back into his bosom, saying: "It's a pity that I couldn't kill you at the best time, so I lost."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left in a carefree manner.

Shen Qi didn't hold back either, she raised her hand to pick up the jug and pour herself a jug of wine, but her fingertips trembled slightly when she was about to touch the jug, so she paused, raised her eyes to look at the wine pot that was about to be thrown. The figure of the opening curtain.

As if aware of her gaze, the waiter turned around, his face still expressionless, but his eyes were a little more relieved: "It seems that I really lost."

The wishful beads hanging on the bamboo curtain collided with a clear sound, and the killer's voice went away with his footsteps.

"If a girl wants to drink safely, don't sit in that position."

Shen Lin squeezed her sleeves and pushed the jug away, then raised her hand to pick up the red paper umbrella propped by the window rail, stood up from the cushion, and looked out the window.

From this location, you can overlook the main hall of Tianxiangtang on the long street next door.

The pavilions, rockeries, and topography are unobstructed.

"Ge Tingxiang... This old man is quite deceitful."

She had actually been sitting in this position for three days, but Shen Qi came here four days ago. When she came here on the first day, she had already walked around the main hall of Tianxiang Hall.

It was just a circle, she didn't go in the central area at all.

It's not that she can't enter, but once she enters, she will definitely be discovered. Even if she can retreat unscathed by relying on her martial arts, she still doesn't want to startle the enemy by beating grass for no reason.

The night watchmen are organized in batches, the time is strict, and many hidden places are quietly guarded by people hiding in the dark.

Shen Qi is good at using swords and light skills, but she is not very good at concealed weapons and other heretics, so under the arrangement that looks like it is specially designed to prevent assassins from sneaking in, she had no choice but to return in dismay.

But this sneaking made her very interested in Ge Tingxiang.

Because his arrangement reminded her of a person.

When she was working in the cultivation department, she once received a task. The client of the task was a graceful woman in palace attire. She was the most beautiful client Shen Qi had ever seen, bar none.

She died by drinking poisonous alcohol. After becoming a soul body, her body and appearance are almost the same as before her life. Only her complexion and lips are slightly blue, but under that magnificent appearance, she looks even more charming and evil.

Shen Qi felt that most of the inspiration for the new model she was using today came from the Queen of the Northern Kingdom.

The object she commissioned was her child under three years old.

Because Shen Qi had worked in the Gongdou Department for a period of time before taking up the post in the Development Department, so she had some experience in living in the palace, so this task fell on her.

She used the second character template for that mission, and her gorgeous appearance like a rich flower in the world has indeed brought her endless honor and favor, but the failed template used in the Gongdou department was awarded in the mission of the cultivation department. A great success, she successfully entered the East Palace, and then persuaded the emperor to let the youngest son of the late empress be raised under her knees.

Before the child moved into her palace, Shen Qi took the initiative to take a look at the child.

The small, thin boy was cutting down small trees with an ax in a somewhat deserted courtyard.

When she saw the eunuch who issued the decree coming, the child timidly knelt on the ground and asked, "Can I not go to the East Palace?"

The wrinkles on his face piled up, and the eunuch smiled and said, "Why doesn't His Highness the Second Prince want to live with the Empress in the East Palace?"

"because……"

The immature child's voice carried a trace of bewildered unwillingness.

"Because of the trees here, I'm almost finished cutting them down."

Small trees will grow into big trees, and big trees will hide whereabouts.His queen mother was poisoned to death while appreciating plum blossoms and drinking wine in the dense plum forest. No one knew who poisoned her, because the plum blossoms and big trees concealed the thief's whereabouts.

So he had to cut down all the trees around his bedroom, and this tree was the last one. After the cutting, he could sleep peacefully without having to hide under the bed every night.

After the eunuch who issued the decree left, Shen Qi walked out from the dark place, walked towards the child who was holding the ax blankly amidst the sound of kneeling, and asked him: "Don't you like trees?"

He nodded.

So the beautiful woman softened her overly charming eyebrows and said with a smile, "Okay, there will be no trees in the East Palace from now on."

Perhaps since then, she had a premonition that the Queen of the Northern Kingdom wanted to raise her child to the throne of God, and wanted him to become an emperor through the ages, but this child was too insecure, and he was not suitable to be an emperor. If he was forced, It can only be a tragedy.

The throne is the most insecure thing.

Perhaps the same goes for power and status.

The more powerful Ge Tingxiang is, the more he fears that everything will disappear like a phantom moon, so he has armed himself with iron walls. If you want to get close to him, it's like getting close to that child back then. Iron walls.Make yourself look like a person who makes the other person feel safe.

On the fourth day, she went to the private room on the second floor of the tea house again, and when she opened the bamboo curtain, she saw a person.

Yesterday's waiter has turned into a wealthy young man dressed in fine clothes. He still has the same ordinary appearance. When he was the waiter, he would still smile, and that ordinary face would still be somewhat cute, but After his identity was leaked, even his cuteness disappeared without a trace.

He only said two sentences.

The first sentence is: "My name is Ge San."

The second sentence is: "The master sees you."

Tianxiangtang's destruction of the Shuanghuanmen was not without cost. Several of Ge Tingxiang's capable men were killed in the battle with the Shuanghuanmen, so in today's Tianxiangtang, several branch master positions are vacant.

What Xiao Shaoying said echoed in her mind, Shen Qi followed Ge San into the main hall of Tianxiang Hall, the familiar road gradually became unfamiliar under her feet, she knew that she had reached a place she had not touched before.

Strict inspections are left behind, and dense forests are left behind.

Who would have thought that around the bedroom where Ge Tingxiang lived, there was only a bowed middle-aged man guarding outside the corridor.But according to her investigation, she knew that there were seven hidden auras under the surface.

The sun was shining outside the window, and the door was wide open. The man leaning on the desk had gray temples, his face was old but with the air of a mature man. He fixedly looked at the woman in red who was coming, and then glanced at the closed cup in her hand. A dark light flashed across the red paper umbrella.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Shen Qi." The woman in red raised her eyes and smiled.

Ge Tingxiang looked at her. This woman is not as beautiful as her concubine Guo Yuniang, but she is more impressive than Guo Yuniang, because she not only has a good appearance, but also has a few traces in the corners of her eyes and brows. Evil.

This evil spirit is not an evil that confuses people, but an evil that frightens people.With just one glance, this woman can be distinguished from ordinary boudoir girls.

Ge Tingxiang smiled: "You stayed in Tianxiang Tower for three days, why?"

Tianxianglou, which is across the street from Tianxiangtang, is the property of Tianxiangtang. No one in the Jianghu under the rule of Longxi knows this.

His eyes were already lit with interest.

The hall master of Tianxiang Hall is known for his love of wine and sex.

Shen Qi lowered her eyes slightly, and glanced at Ge Tingxiang's waist. As expected, he didn't carry a passion ring with him, or many love rings were just a spoil of war for him, not a weapon.

She seemed oblivious to the sight glued to her face, and her slender fingertips rested on the handle of the umbrella.

The leaves drifted by.

The midday sun was warm, but in an instant it was icy cold.

When Ge Tingxiang regained consciousness, the woman in red in front of her was still holding the handle of the umbrella, but the fallen leaf had turned into two neat halves at some point, fluttering and spreading apart.

His eyes changed instantly!

"I think... Tianxiangtang is currently employing people, and you may need a sword." Shen Qi said slowly: "I stayed in Tianxianglou for three days, thinking about what price to set for this sword .”
