Listen to the king's order

It was already dark when Jiang Qichen and his party arrived at the boundary of Dongchen.

Something happened to Dongchen Xin's family, and it's a big deal.In the past few days, there have been countless Jianghu sects who heard the news.However, most sects came by horseback or on foot.The officers and soldiers guarding both sides of the boundary monument saw a carriage approaching from afar, and they had roughly guessed the identity of the person coming.

It's just a famous patriarch whose mud can't support the wall.

Several officers and soldiers looked at each other, held up their spears and shouted: "Hey, what are you doing!" The stern look made the coachman tremble.

Jing Xing lifted a corner of the carriage curtain with his sword-holding hand, and held up a wooden sign carved with bamboo knots in the other hand.

He said "Jiang" and said bluntly: "I see clearly, this is the car of Patriarch Nanchen Jiang."

The officers and soldiers understood it, and with a smirk on their lips, they said in a strange way: "It turns out to be Patriarch Jiang. The brothers have never seen the world, and they forgot that Patriarch Jiang's legs and feet are inconvenient and they can only take a car. How offensive, your side Please." As they spoke, several people stood aside and made way for a wide avenue.

Jing Xing could see through the psychological activities of this officer and soldier, but Jiang Qichen had told him not to cause trouble early in the morning, so he could only "hum" fiercely through his nose.

Jiang Qichen was originally nestled on the cushion, reading ancient books by the light.Jing Xing over there was unhappy, and viciously slammed the long sword in his hand on the small table on the couch, and the lights on the table were shaken again and again, so he couldn't help but said: "It's really a child's heart, you and them What do you care about?"

Jing Xing said all the unhappiness in his heart at once: "Master, you are the only one who can bear it. For so many years, have the people in the rivers and lakes looked at us? We are embarrassed everywhere, and people look at us everywhere. You can bear it, Jing Xing I am grumpy."

Jiang Qichen put down the book in his hand, picked up the steaming tea on the table, took a sip, and said something vaguely: "Mmm... the tea is good tea, but it's a bit astringent."

Jing Xing never indulged in poetry and books since he was a child, and he couldn't understand Jiang Qichen's sloppy words all day, so he sat down in front of Jiang Qichen like a resentment, and stared at him with his arms folded: "Master, let me tell you something. Son, what tea are you talking about?"

Lu Ming, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, couldn't listen anymore. He raised his hand and rubbed his sore shoulders after sitting for a long time, and said in a deep voice, "I mean you, you have good skills, but not enough brains."

Well, Lu Ming's explanation was indeed much more popular, but it made Jing Xing even more unhappy.Reluctantly, he was not as good as the two masters in front of him in terms of civil and military skills. I saw the veins on his forehead twitching and twitching. He said through gritted teeth, "Wait a minute, I will start reciting the Three Character Classic tonight."

Not long after Jiang Qichen's car passed the boundary marker, he saw a short old man with a ravine face and a square hat respectfully bowing to the side of the car window where Jiang Qichen was sitting, and said loudly. Said: "Patriarch Jiang, please stay."

The carriage stopped at the sound, and Jiang Qichen, who was sitting in the carriage, first showed a knowing smile, then gently raised a corner of the gauze with the folding fan in his hand, and asked politely, "Your Excellency?"

The old man kept bowing all the time. He didn't get up when he heard the question. He raised his head halfway and replied, "This is the servant of Patriarch Xichen Pei. My surname is Zhou. I am here to wait for Patriarch Jiang by the patriarch's order. My patriarch has already Prepared a place to stay for Patriarch Jiang, and repeatedly told me to take you in."

Jiang Qichen said: "Uncle Pei has to worry about it, so please lead the way, thank you."

"Don't dare to do it, everyone follow me." The old man turned over and jumped on the white horse that was tied aside, lightly clipped the horse's belly, and rode to the front of the carriage to open the way.

Only then did Jiang Qichen put down the curtain, and knocked on the table with the folding fan in his hand, but the smile on his face never faded.

Jing Xing said: "Master, what's wrong with that old man?"

Before Jiang Qichen could speak, Lu Ming put his index finger on his lips and made a silent movement.Afterwards, Lu Ming focused his inner strength on his right hand and flicked it lightly into the air, an invisible sound insulation film enveloped the compartment.

Jiang Qichen's smiling peachy eyes moved to Lu Ming's face in an instant, and he said with some headache: "If Jing Xing had half of your cleverness, he wouldn't have to accompany me half-paralyzed to act all day long."

Jing Xing hadn't figured out why Lu Ming had to install a soundproof film in the car, but when he heard Jiang Qichen scolding him again, he felt aggrieved, and even spoke a little: "Master, why did you start talking again in such a good manner? me."

Jiang Qichen shook his head and explained: "That man does look old-fashioned, but he spoke to me just now with a loud voice. He didn't dare to look at me in words, but I saw that his eyes were bright and bright, and he didn't even look at me at all. He doesn't have the turbid color that an elderly person should have. Besides, his movement of getting on the horse is too neat, as far as I can see, he is no more than twenty years old now."

"He looks short in stature, he should have practiced bone shrinking skills. That old man's face is also very lifelike, and his disguise technique is also superb." Lu Ming followed Jiang Qichen's words and said, "It's the little devil Xie Zifei. I saw him go in and out a few days ago. Pei Family Ancestral Hall."

"Xie Zifei? Brother Lu Ming, you mean that little devil who disturbed the situation in the Northern Territory at the age of 16?" Jing Xing looked at Lu Ming in disbelief. He really couldn't connect the wrinkled old man with a little devil just now. together.

"I didn't expect Pei Tianxiao to make such a big effort to win over many outsiders." A hint of worry appeared on Lu Ming's face, and even his voice became cold.

Jiang Qichen waved the folding fan in his hand calmly, and the beautiful landscape pictures on the fan danced with his movements: "I am afraid that at this moment, all the factions of the world have gathered here."

Just as Jiang Qichen expected, all the decent and evil factions in Chen country have already been shocked by the extermination of the Xin family.The Patriarch of the Xin family was born in the Sky Eye sect, not to mention how many hidden masters in his family, it is difficult for Xin Zhiyuan himself to find an opponent in the world.Everyone in the Jianghu wondered who had the ability to slaughter the Xin family, one of the three great families of the Chen Kingdom, overnight. What they were even more curious about was where the vital pleading talisman was now.

Ever since the Jiang family fell 15 years ago and the Huo family was wiped out 12 years ago, the rivers and lakes have been peaceful for many years without such a big incident. However, the most powerful person in today's martial arts world is Pei Tianxiao from Xichen.

Pei Tianxiao arrived in Dongchen as early as the second day after the Xin family's accident. In the past few days, the funeral arrangements for the Xin family and the investigation of the murder case were all handled by him.

The carriage stopped at the gate of a house, and the old man dressed as Xie Zifei jumped off the horse neatly, and handed the horse rope to the guard in front of the gate.He walked up to Jiang Qichen's car respectfully, "Patriarch Jiang, this is the place where my master temporarily chose for you to stay. The master knows that you like to be quiet, so he specially ordered me to find this place so as not to cause any disturbance. I will not have time to clean it properly in the future, if there is anything wrong, I will look to Jiang Patriarch Haihan."

Jiang Qichen lifted a corner of the curtain and glanced around casually.The house is medium in size, and it seems to be used to welcome visitors all the year round, without a signboard.Located on the corner of the street, with the lights in front of the door, you can vaguely see the surrounding bamboo shadows.

"Uncle Pei has a heart, this place is just what I want." Jiang Qichen said softly, and then said to the people in the car: "Jing Xing, move the luggage in the car. Ming'er, carry me down."

Xie Zifei was short in stature and the sky was dark, so he was half-hidden in the shadows by his side, squinting his sharp eyes, silently examining the three masters and servants in front of him.

The first one to come down was a handsome young man, tall and thin, with a black ink-colored long sword at his waist, and he was swiftly taking out the folded quadricycle bundled under the carriage.I saw him fiddling with both hands quickly, reassembled the four-wheeled cart in twos and twos, and then got into the back of the carriage and took out a bag full of luggage.

Then came down a man in Tsing Yi, his long hair was coiled properly with a hosta, his handsome face as carved by a knife showed no expression.He has sword-like eyebrows and star-eyed eyes, and his lips are extremely thin, which can be connected into a line with a light sip.Taking a closer look, the man had a flute made of white jade pinned to his waist. If he read it correctly, this flute should be named "Yin Shuang".

Xie Zifei stared at the man in Tsing Yi thoughtfully, and suddenly felt the man's gaze sweeping towards him.Inadvertently looking at each other, Xie Zifei felt that the pores all over his body were erected.The man's eyes were like ice blades, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out from Xie Zifei's back as he stared at him abruptly.

But with just one glance, the man immediately withdrew his gaze.He opened the curtain in front of the carriage, reached out and hugged Jiang Qichen inside.

Jiang Qichen was dressed in plain white clothes, with a pair of peach blossom eyes as if he was born with a smile, and his long ink-like hair was casually scattered around his body, although he was pretty but not feminine.Except for his pale face and weak legs drooping under the arms of the man in Tsing Yi, he has an alluring appearance.

Lu Ming gently put Jiang Qichen on the four-wheeled cart, and pushed him to walk in front of Xie Zifei.He only heard Jiang Qichen say in a somewhat impolite manner: "Jiang has a chronic illness, so please forgive me for not being able to salute with sir." He lowered his head slightly and fisted with both hands.

Xie Zifei hastily stepped forward to stop his movements. His powerful palm seemed to be unintentionally on Jiang Qichen's wrist, but he quietly used his internal force to walk on Jiang Qichen's body: "I am a servant, so Patriarch Jiang doesn't need to be polite. It's getting late now, Patriarch Jiang, who has been traveling for many days, please take a good rest. Tomorrow morning, my master will definitely pay a visit."

"According to etiquette, I should be the one to visit Uncle Pei."

"Jiang Patriarch has a clear wind and clear moon, and my master is not unreasonable."

Xie Zifei took a step back as he spoke: "I'm still in a hurry to do business with the master, so I won't send Patriarch Jiang in, everyone stay."

Watching Xie Zifei's figure on horseback disappear into the night, Jiang Qichen looked up at the two guards standing in front of the door, smiled politely, and said to Lu Ming, "Ming'er, go in."
