Cloud of the Qing Dynasty

Zhang Chi had no intention of condoning Bao Qiqiao's misconduct, thinking that this girl was so ignorant that she intended to poison Mu Liuyun, Zhang Chi wanted to strangle her to death.And when Mu Liuyun saw Zhang Chi's itching to fidget, he was so angry that his whole body exuded a faint murderous aura. If Bao Qiqiao was just let go so lightly, he might do something drastic. Come.

So Zhang Chi told Bao Buyi not to pursue Bao Qiqiao. He wanted to let the young lady go to catch the big fish behind her, because he knew that Bao Buyi always cherished this daughter very much, so he had nothing to do with this matter. Disclosed to Bao Busu to know.

When Bao Buyi came back from Qin Wuqi's side, he heard that Bao Qiqiao had escaped, and he didn't know where he went in the wilderness. He, the father, was angry and worried. The man came out overnight to look for someone.

No one expected that the god of death was approaching them silently.

Wei Fantian didn't know who these people were, but he was sure that they were from the Wulin League. Having suffered repeated setbacks recently, he was happy to use these people with poor martial arts to vent his anger, so he suddenly launched an attack without warning. After the attack, although the few guys who inquired about it knew a little bit of martial arts, they couldn't be the opponents of the young leader of the Red Lotus Sect, and they were killed in a few rounds.

Bao Buyi didn't know martial arts at all, he was just a kind-hearted fat man, facing this sudden evil star, he only had time to say four words: "The hero, please forgive me..."

Wei Fantian, who was in a bad mood, didn't intend to let this fat man who didn't know martial arts go, he had already slapped Bao Buyi on the head before he finished his sentence, and immediately the unlucky Bao asked the treasurer's skull to be shattered, and he died with a scream It was too late to issue.

Bao Qiqiao was faintly worried that she would be abandoned, so she didn't stay where she was obediently, but moved towards the direction Wei Fantian was leaving, just in time to see Wei Fantian beat Bao Buyi to death with a single blow.

She exclaimed in a heartbroken voice: "Father!!!"

Wei Fantian looked back at her in astonishment: "What did you say?"

Bao Qiqiao rushed over and hugged Bao Buyi's body, crying loudly, "Why did you kill my father!"

Wei Fantian frowned: "I didn't know he was your father."

Bao Qiqiao's whole body collapsed, she just kept crying: "I don't care about anything because of you, I have nothing! Why did you kill my father, why!"

Wei Fantian looked anxiously at Bao Qiqiao, who was in pain. She made such a big noise, which would definitely attract Mu Liuyun and others soon, and Wei Fantian's current skill has only recovered less than [-]%. Absolutely can't fight against a master like Mu Liuyun, so he snorted in disgust and turned to leave.

When he took Bao Qiqiao away, he thought that even if this girl had no other use, she could at least be used as a hostage. The coaxing before was just to save Bao Qiqiao from causing trouble when she struggled and resisted.But since Bao Buyi was dead, Bao Qiqiao was naturally useless as a hostage.

When Zhang Chi and others heard the noise and arrived, Wei Fantian had already left without a trace, leaving only the grief-stricken Bao Qiqiao and the dead bodies all over the place.

***

People from the Martial Arts League came to collect the corpse, and brought back Bao Qiqiao who was hoarse from crying. Even though she couldn't speak a word, under Zhang Chi's analysis, everyone sorted out the ins and outs of the incident. Both sympathy and deserving.

Even for such a little girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old and had just lost her father, she still had to be held accountable for her internal and external enemies. Bao Qiqiao was put in prison and awaited punishment.

In the tent of the Shangqing Palace, Qingling knelt down facing Mu Liuyun: "Uncle Grand Master, this disciple is not good at learning, so that he leaked his whereabouts and let Wei Fantian escape. This disciple is willing to be punished."

Mu Liuyun shook his head: "None of us expected to meet Wei Fantian this time. His martial arts are much higher than yours. It's normal that you can't hide it from him. Don't blame yourself."

Qing Ling said guiltily: "From now on, this disciple will definitely practice martial arts more diligently, and will never drag Grand Master Uncle down."

"En." Mu Liuyun nodded approvingly.

"One more thing..." Qingling said hesitantly, "I want to go and see Qiqiao."

"Go." Mu Liuyun said indifferently.

Qingling breathed a sigh of relief, and came to the temporary prison of the Wulin League. The guards let her in simply after learning that she had obtained the approval of Daoist Tianxuan.

Bao Qiqiao was locked in a wooden fence as thick as an arm in a daze, and when she saw Qingling coming over with a food box, she said with red eyes, "Why... even you lied to me."

"It's clear that you lied to me first." Qingling said angrily, "I trust you so much, but you use me to do such a foolish thing, actually poisoning my grand master uncle, if it weren't for the innocent brother Zhang Having suffered this crime for him, can you still sit here properly this time? Uncle Grand Master has such a high prestige in the sect, even if the head of the sect does not allow it, the disciples who admire him will not let you go easily. "

Bao Qiqiao sniffled: "I didn't intend to harm the Taoist priest, that kind of poison won't kill anyone, I just want to help Brahma... who knows..."

"You also know that the result of doing this is to help the Red Lotus Sect and harm your own people, so what else is there to say?" Qing Ling looked at her with a complicated expression and said, "I know you always like those evil people , I always thought you were just thinking about it, but I didn’t expect you to take this delusion seriously. Even people like me who are not very well-informed know what a ferocious big devil the young leader of the Red Lotus Sect is. Don't mention that he is lustful, has many wives and concubines, and has several children, don't you know?"

"He is not what you think... He has lost his mother since he was a child, and no one loves her. The people around him have repeatedly harmed him for the successor of the leader. Now how many women can't fill the emptiness in her heart, he No one knows the pain in my heart."

"So what, can you run amok without a mother since you were young? There are many people with miserable life experiences than him, and how many of them have become as cruel as him?" Qingling reprimanded mercilessly, "Did you forget He killed your father, and you are still speaking for him until now!"

Bao Qiqiao argued: "He didn't do it on purpose, he didn't know it was my father, otherwise he wouldn't have treated me like this!"

"Are you stupid! He will treat you as he treats others, because his character is like this!" Qingling put down the food box angrily, "I originally wanted to persuade you to admit your mistake, maybe they I will miss you because you were young and ignorant, but I didn’t expect you to be so obsessed. We have been good sisters since we were young. I always thought that although you were naughty and pranked occasionally, you were at least a kind-hearted person--I really misunderstood you !"

Qingling left angrily, Bao Qiqiao hugged her knees and shrunk herself into a ball, muttering to the air: "I didn't misunderstand him...it's not my fault, I didn't kill dad... It's not me... woo... Dad..."

Wei Fantian returned to Yinyue Palace full of anger, and his subordinates came to report that Kuihu had completed his mission and returned to his command, and that he had something good to present to the Young Master in person.

Wei Fantian then received Kuihu. Recently, the Red Lotus Sect and himself have been hit repeatedly, but Kuihu completed the task brilliantly, which somewhat made him feel better. When they met, he praised: "This errand, you It's well done. Is there anything for me?"

Kuihu asked someone to bring the well-dressed Yingying up: "This is the concubine of the high official Cheng's family. The subordinates saw that she was as beautiful as a fish and a wild goose, and she was as beautiful as a flower. They also admired the demeanor of the young master, so they boldly brought her to the house. Come back and introduce it to the Young Master."

Wei Fantian was really angry: "What time is this? The Red Lotus Sect is in the midst of life and death, who still thinks about women?"

Kuihu was so frightened that he immediately knelt down: "This subordinate knows her mistake, and this subordinate will deal with her immediately!"

"... Forget it." Wei Fantian saw that Yingying is really a rare beauty, and it would be a pity if she was dealt with like this, so she waved her hand and said, "Stay here, you can go down!"

The flattery patted the horse's leg, touched the gray-nosed Kuihu and went away sullenly, Yingying clutched her chest and said with some fear: "If Yingying has something bad that offends the young master, I hope you will be happy." The young leader has a lot, don't be as knowledgeable as a little girl, don't get angry."

For such a docile and euphemistic beautiful woman, Wei Fantian couldn't lose his temper even if he had a temper. He asked the maid to take Yingying down and settle down first, and put the matter aside for the time being.

While dispatching medicinal materials to make miasma-proof masks in Jinghong Villa, the vanguard of the imperial army also arrived in Panlong Valley one after another.

Originally, this Panlong Valley was dominated by people from the Jianghu, but now these disciplined and morale-like military personnel came, which immediately formed a sharp contrast with the casual Jianghu people, and many of them were transferred from the Northwest Army. The elite troops who came over had more or less friendship with Zhang Chi.Zhang Chi ran to their camp twice in three days, as happy as a fish returning to the water, he even forgot to itch his hands.

On this day, he went to the camp to get in touch with his brothers again, and happened to see a black and strong man in official clothes that he was very familiar with. Zhang Chi said pleasantly, "Ninth Brother, isn't this Ninth Brother?" ?”

It was Long Jiu, a famous arrester in the capital, who came, and he said with a sad face: "Brother Zhang Chi, I never thought we would meet again so soon."

"Why did you come here?"

"A few days ago, Mr. Cheng and his family who came to southern Xinjiang from the capital to handle affairs were killed. The Holy Majesty and Li Niangniang were very angry and ordered me to investigate the matter. Here we come."

"Mistress Li...you mean Concubine Li Gui?" Zhang Chi asked in surprise, "What does Master Cheng's murder have to do with her?"

Long Jiu coughed twice, apparently because it was inconvenient to explain in detail: "Then what...Brother Zhang Chi, Bao asked if there was any news related to this case recently?"

"No." Zhang Chi said, "Our shopkeeper was unfortunately killed by Wei Fantian recently, and the internal affairs of Bao Inquiring are also very chaotic. At least as far as I know, there is no news that Brother Nine can use it for the time being."

Long Jiu sighed: "It seems that I have to wait for you to break through the Red Lotus Sect's defense, and then find a way to investigate this matter. By the way, Brother Zhang, I didn't know the situation when I first came. How is the current situation?"

Zhang Chi immediately gave full play to his strengths, took a branch and drew a sketch of the nearby terrain on the ground, and explained to him: "Look, what stood in front of us before was the Thousand Zong Forest, although we can't completely clear out such a large area of ​​miasma forest , but now that there is a mask to prevent miasma poisoning, at least there is no problem walking through the forest. The soldiers have already cut a road in the forest that can directly pass through the forest of thousands of traces. During the period, people from the Red Lotus Sect also came to attack But every time I was repulsed by the accompanying martial arts masters. I have found a suitable camping place on the high slope near Baihua Canyon. Some vanguard troops have gone to build barracks. It should be in these two days. These people will all enter Baihua Canyon."

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly." Long Jiu praised.

But Zhang Chi shook his head: "The real crisis has just begun. We are too far away from Yinyue Palace now, and it is inconvenient for people from the Red Lotus Sect to come out to find trouble, so everything is still safe, but after entering Baihua Canyon, we are far away from Yinyue Palace. It is already less than three miles away. At that time, in front of us will be martial arts masters who are very familiar with the terrain, and behind us will be the miasma-covered Thousand Zong Forest. There are only a few hundred anti-virus masks in total, and only a small group of people will be allowed to enter and exit in batches. Once inside, there is no way out, no matter how good or bad the situation is, we can only fight with our backs."
