Cloud of the Qing Dynasty

"There's a difference between those chatterers chewing unfounded gossip and our openly admitting our habit of cutting sleeves. I also think about the reputation of you and the Shangqing Palace. Unless it is a last resort, we will keep a low profile A little better."

"Okay." Although Mu Liuyun felt that reputation was irrelevant, he believed that Zhang Chi was always doing what was best for him.

Before Mu Liuyun got up, Zhang Chi put his arms around his shoulders, buried his face next to his neck, and intoxicatedly sniffed the faint scent emanating from his body.

Feeling itchy, Mu Liuyun laughed: "Why do you look like a puppy."

"You smell so good, let me smell it." Zhang Chi kissed the side of Mu Liuyun's neck, and said lovingly.

"I smell?" Mu Liuyun raised his sleeve in surprise and smelled himself.

Zhang Chi quickly explained: "It's not the smell from people who haven't showered for a long time. I mean your own smell. You may not be able to smell it after getting used to it, but it's very obvious to me."

"What kind of smell?" Mu Liuyun was curious.

"It's hard to describe, but it just smells good." Zhang Chi was not in the mood to chat with him now, and gently cupped his cheeks and kissed him with a cautious gesture as if he was afraid of being damaged, and then reached out to relieve him. Seeing that Mu Liuyun didn't show any disapproval, he boldly put his hand into his skirt.

Most of the time, Zhang Chi uses an iron gun as a weapon. The iron gun does not bend like a wooden gun, and all the impact is concentrated on the hand holding the gun. Therefore, Zhang Chi's hands have hard and thick calluses, and when they rub against the skin, there is a Rough touch like sandpaper.

Mu Liuyun was still holding a book in his hand, but he had no intention of reading it, so he threw it aside casually. He grabbed Zhang Chi's wrist and pulled him up, walked away two steps and pushed him directly onto the bed.

Zhang Chi lay down happily and joyfully, watching Mu Liuyun put down the bed curtain, covering the beautiful spring scenery in the room.

***

After Wei Fantian was hit by Zhang Chi's Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, he still managed to escape from Tingquan Villa with his deep internal strength. Zhang Chi and others were unable to pursue him. Ye Hai, the only better martial artist besides Mu Liuyun, happened not to be on the city wall. , so he could only watch helplessly as he escaped into the forest outside.

I don't know what this kind of Zhang Chi is called. It is said that it is specially used to deal with martial arts masters. The stronger the skill, the faster the drug will take effect. The subordinates of the Red Lotus Sect rescued them.

After that day, Lu Zhiqian and Ye Hai also sent scouts to inquire about the Red Lotus Sect—especially Wei Fantian's movements. If Wei Fantian could be found during the poisoning period and get rid of this devil in one fell swoop, it would save the entire Central Plains from countless bloody storms.

But Wei Fantian will not be recognized even if he stands in front of them now, his appearance has completely changed into another person, his whole face has become fatter, he looks at least ten years older, seven or eight ugly point.Such an exquisite disguise technique, even Zhang Chi might not be able to distinguish it.

The easy-going Wei Fantian leaned weakly on the recliner, waiting for Xiangu Sansi, a ghost doctor of the Red Lotus Sect, to diagnose his pulse.

Gu Sansi touched it for a long time, his face was always cloudy and cloudy, and he murmured from time to time: "Strange...how could..."

Wei Fantian said displeased: "Don't hesitate, what kind of poison have I been poisoned by?"

"This... can't be wrong, this is Tianxiang Ruanjin Powder, the unique secret recipe of Qin Wushang, the poisonous doctor!" Gu Sansi said, "Most of the poison can be forced out by the master's skill, this Tianxiang Ruanjin Powder It was specially developed by Qin Wushang to restrain people with high internal strength, the stronger the internal strength, the faster the attack."

"Just tell me directly, are you cured well?"

"Of course it's cured well!" Gu Sansi said decisively, and then his voice weakened again, "It's just that the young leader needs a period of recuperation before his skills can fully recover. But it's strange to say that this Qin Wushang has retired for more than ten years It's been a year, and Tianxiang Ruanjin Powder can't be stored for that long, how did the young leader get poisoned? Could it be that Qin Wushang has come out of the world again?"

"Are you sure it's him?" For a moment, Wei Fantian couldn't figure out what the relationship between Zhang Chi, an insignificant person, and Qin Wushang, a poisonous doctor who became famous decades ago.

Gu Sansi said with certainty: "No one can make this medicine except him, and I have always wanted the secret recipe but can't get it."

While they were talking, they suddenly heard Gu Sansi's disciples and drug boys outside respectfully saying: "See the leader!"

Wei Fantian looked up in surprise, only to see a tall man with a black gauze hood covering his face walking steadily into the courtyard, he could only stand up and say hello, "Father."

The one who came was none other than Wei Wuji, the leader of the Red Lotus Sect. He said in a dignified tone, "Tian'er, how is your body?"

"There is nothing serious, but the internal strength cannot be recovered for a while." Wei Fantian deliberately lightened the situation and said, "Why is father here?"

"Hmph, fortunately the hidden weapon was not coated with any deadly poison, otherwise I would have come to collect your corpse." Wei Wuji said, "I have sent orders for you to go back to the valley several times, but you turned a deaf ear to it and returned it once." This time I acted without authorization, if I hadn’t acted personally, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to invite you, a great god.”

Wei Fantian argued: "I didn't mean to turn a deaf ear to my father's order, but just encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get rid of the general who led the army to conquer the Panlong Valley in one fell swoop, and disintegrate the Panlong Valley war. dangerous."

"But what was the result?" Wei Wuji snorted coldly, "So many congregants died for nothing, the black-clothed holy envoy, the red-clothed holy envoy and their teams were all wiped out, and the elder Yin Yang Qi was also seriously injured. The spies of Quanshanzhuang were also discovered, and now their whereabouts are unknown, even you almost fell here, and Lu Zhiqian is still sitting in Tingquan villa."

"But they are already at the end of their battles, and their troops are almost exhausted. The only master in the villa, Mu Liuyun from Shangqing Palace, has also suffered a serious injury in order to heal Lu Zhiqian. It is estimated that less than [-]% of his skills have recovered. Now It can be said that there is no one in the villa who can fight." Wei Fantian looked at Wei Wuji earnestly, "If father can take action himself and lead the elite congregation to storm the gate and lower the suspension bridge, he will be able to take down Tingquan Villa in one fell swoop and remove the red blood. The confidant of the Lotus Sect is in serious trouble, and this is our last chance before the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive."

"Do you think this seat is here to support you?" Wei Wuji said coldly, "Have you not learned a lesson from your recklessness? This seat is only here to bring you back to Panlong Valley."

"Go back to Panlong Valley?" Wei Fantian was surprised, "The Central Plains martial arts are conspiring to deal with us. If we retreat to Panlong Valley at this time, won't we have to be slaughtered when they are fully prepared?"

"Panlong Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are Qianzong Forest, Baihua Gorge, Misty Array and impregnable city walls. If you don't make good use of such geographical advantages, you will bring out all the elite of the sect and fight them head-to-head everywhere. Are you planning to exhaust the elite of the Red Lotus Sect in the Central Plains?"

"I never imagined that my father would treat my intentions in such a way. If the Red Lotus Sect is destroyed in this battle, what good will it do to me?" There was a big fight between Dong faction and Bagua sect, and poisoned the head of Tie Jian sect, causing Tie Jian sect to fall into civil strife for the throne. Three of the nine sects led by Wulin League were lost. I also assassinated several The ten people who joined the Wulin League frightened those vacillating fools, if not for this, the number of people in the Wulin League would be more than twice what it is now. Could it be that my father can't see everything I have done?"

"I know your intentions are good, but I only care about the results." Wei Wuji said, "You have indeed done a lot of useful things, but the loss is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"There are always risks in doing things, it's just that some actions are successful, and some actions are not." Wei Fantian said patiently, "Panlong Valley's defense is indeed geographically advantageous, but this time the court mobilized several Wan Dajun came to encircle and suppress us, and it is inevitable that we will win, and we will not be able to solve the problem if we just shrink into that turtle shell and do not come out."

Wei Wuji flicked his sleeves and didn't want to hear any more: "No need to say more, I have ordered all the congregants to retreat to Panlong Valley, shrink the front line, and do not act without authorization, and you are the same."

Wei Wuji's attitude was so resolute, Wei Fantian was speechless, so he could only reluctantly respond: "Yes."

"I'm so mad! How can there be such stubborn, stupid and short-sighted people in the world!" Wei Fan slapped the coffee table in despair, but because of the loss of internal energy, the coffee table was not damaged at all. Sweep everything on the coffee table to the ground.

Seeing this, Gu Sansi persuaded: "Young Master, please be safe and don't be impatient. If you are so angry, I'm afraid it will not be conducive to the recovery of skills."

"Why don't you tell me to stay calm!" Wei Fan said in a bad mood, "I have worked so hard to open up a great situation, and it seems that all my achievements will fall short. Does he think that he can't get out of that tortoise shell? Can dragging drag those who want to put us to death alive?"

"I think there is some truth to what the leader said. Although the young leader has indeed achieved a lot, the damage to the troops of the Red Lotus Cult has been really serious." Gu Sansi tried to comfort him, "The leader is also worried. Consumed in these places, even if we have a geographical advantage, we will not be able to defend in the end, if the damage is not so severe, presumably the leader will approve of the young leader's approach."

"Could it be that I want to lose so much?" Wei Fantian said angrily, "There are always some people who seem to be sent by heaven to deliberately anger me, such as that Mu Liuyun. It will definitely fail, and that Zhang Chi, who has ruined me several times, sooner or later, I will make them regret being born in this world!"

"...So, the Young Master has suffered from them before?"

"At first, that stupid woman Bai Ling made her own decision. Because of her own personal grievances, the person who poisoned Shangqing Palace wanted to blame Qin Wuqi. I have ordered her to be executed, leaving clues to try to stir up Shangqing Palace and Jinghong Villa. It is a pity that the people who handle the matter are not agile enough, and this time the blame was not as smooth as I expected. Later, I sent someone disguised as a coachman to assassinate Mu Liuyun on the way, leaving a lot of loopholes and clues, intending to let them I thought all of this was the mastermind of Jinghong Villa, but who would have thought that a few police officers came halfway, and they left without even looking carefully, wasting my design. Later, the big plan to burn Jinghong Villa, and The plan to set up an ambush to assassinate them on the way back is only a little bit away from success. I wanted to save these two troublesome guys for later, but unexpectedly they came this time and ruined my good deed!"

The more Wei Fantian thought about it, the angrier he became, and he felt his chest constricted for a while. He held his chest and took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down the blood rushing to his throat: "If it wasn't for them, why would I be here!"
