Zhong Ya said: "Red Scorpion is one person, but Mangshan Wolf is three people. In fact, not many people in the world know these two names. If an assassin even knows his name to the world, he is the most failed assassin. ”
Qi Ning wants to do black business, and naturally the most successful is to be unknown. No one in this world knows your existence, and that is the real master.
"In this way, these two groups are not top masters among the Shadow Mouse, otherwise Mr. Zhong would not know their names." Qi Ning said with a smile.
Zhong Ya shook his head and said: "Master Hou, the truth is exactly the opposite. The reason why I know the names of these two groups is because they are outstanding figures among the Shadow Mouse."
"how do I say this?"
"I said just now that shadow rats use people's money to work for others. Most of the shadow rats naturally come and go without a trace in order to avoid future troubles." Zhong Ya said seriously: "But these two groups are aliens among the shadow rats. , they are not as unknown as other shadow rats, but they deliberately want to leave their names."
Qi Ning said with great interest: "This is strange. Could it be that you want to promote yourself intentionally?"
"Propaganda?" Zhong Ya was stunned and said with a smile: "Not many people know about them, but it seems that there are quite a few. Mr. Marquis, as far as I know, these two groups are ruthless and kill people with one blow. And every time someone kills someone, they leave a mark intentionally, as if they are afraid that others will not know it was them."
Qi Ning frowned and said, "In that case, aren't they enemies everywhere?"
"Although there are not many people who know these two names, until now, no one knows who they are." Zhong Ya said: "Some people say that Red Scorpion is a woman, but is it a man or a woman? Old or young, but no one knows it clearly.”
"Then how does Mr. Zhong know that there are three people in Mangshanlang?"
"Master Hou, I said there were three people, but that's just the most widely circulated speculation at the moment." Zhong Ya said: "Every time the Mang Mountain Wolf attacks, it will leave a mark of the wolf's head. The three fatal places of the person killed will be marked by one." When hit, someone checked the corpses killed by Mang Mountain Wolf and determined that there were at least three people who attacked at the same time, so they guessed that Mang Mountain Wolf should be a three-person partnership." He smiled slightly and said: "It's just because the wild wolves in Mang Mountain are vicious. , in groups, so some people call them wild mountain wolves.”
"So even though these two groups are famous, no one knows where they came from." Qining sighed: "The world is so vast and full of wonders, and it seems that there are many masters hiding in it, unknown to anyone. "
Zhong Ya nodded and said: "There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. There is an ancient saying."
"Since no one knows who they are, naturally no one will see their true faces." Qining frowned and said: "How did the Beggar Clan know that they appeared?"
"Because while the Qingmu Conference was going on, two cases occurred near Gyeonggi Province." Zhong Ya said: "And the people who did it were these two groups."
"So they have already arrived near the capital." Qi Ning understood: "Who is the dead person?"
"They are just insignificant characters." Zhong Ya said: "Red Scorpion and Mangshan Lang are both top figures among the Shadow Mouse, but this time they both committed crimes near the capital, and they took action almost at the same time. This is Something that hasn’t happened in many years.”
Qi Ning nodded and said, "In this case, it is indeed a bit strange."
"I told Mr. Hou, I just hope that Mr. Hou will be careful." Zhong Ya said solemnly: "If it was just these two assassinations, maybe it was just a coincidence. But someone saw Shadow Mouse secretly contacting each other, so he had to be on guard. Shadow Mouse Most of them are alone, and this is for their own safety. This time they contacted each other secretly, and after thinking about it, there is only one possibility."
"What's possible?"
"They want to assassinate a very powerful person." Zhong Ya said: "But the Shadow Mouse alone is obviously not capable of completing such a task, so they joined forces."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "Mr. Zhong is worried that these shadow rats may be harmful to me?"
"The target that can make Shadow Mouse so fearful is certainly not an ordinary person." Zhong Ya said: "And since they are roaming near the capital, their target is likely to be in the capital, so...!"
Qi Ning said gratefully: "Mr. Zhong kindly reminded me that I would like to thank you here."
"You are so polite, Lord Marquis." Zhong Ya said with a smile: "I have also told Elder Zhuque about this matter. Elder Zhuque means to send someone to secretly protect Lord Marquis. However, there are many guards in the Jinyi Hou Mansion, and Elder Zhuque is worried that if he sends someone Protection will make the Marquis misunderstand, so...!"
Qi Ning laughed, knowing that Elder Zhuque was worried about sending someone to protect him, as if he underestimated the security force of Jinyihou Mansion, he smiled and said: "Mr. Zhong reminded me today that no matter who the target of those shadow rats is, I will be careful. ." He pondered for a moment, looking at the symbols with water stains on the table, thoughtfully.
Zhong Ya didn't want to be disturbed for a while. After a while, Qi Ning said: "Mr. Zhong, I would like to ask the Beggar Gang to help me with something. I don't know if it is convenient."
"Master Hou, I just said that you are the acting leader of the Beggar Clan. Once you give an order, the disciples of the Beggar Clan will naturally do their best." Zhong Ya smiled and said, "I wonder what the Master Hou has ordered?"
Qi Ning lowered his voice and said: "The disciples of the Beggar Clan have many ears and eyes, scattered in the streets and alleys of the capital. To be honest, even the Shenhou Mansion's ears and eyes are far from being comparable to those of the Beggar Clan. But... this matter It may involve the Beggar Clan, but if it’s inconvenient for the Beggar Clan, there’s no need to force it.”
"Does the Marquis want us to search for traces of Shadow Mouse in the capital?" Zhong Ya asked.
Qining sighed: "Sir, you are wise and you guessed what I was thinking."
Zhong Ya smiled and said: "Master Hou, although the Beggar Gang does not want to provoke those shadow rats, it is not because they are afraid of them. The Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the world. To be honest, looking at the world, it has never been afraid of anyone. . Those shadow rats are sneaky and if they have no interest in us, we just don’t want to cause trouble. But if the Marquis really wants to find them, even if we let everyone capture two, it will not be difficult. "
Qi Ning believed this. With the Beggar Clan's ears, eyes and strength, they were unwilling to provoke the Shadow Mouse. Shadow Mouse should be thankful. Naturally, those Shadow Mouse did not dare to provoke the Beggar Clan.
If the Beggar Clan really wanted to catch a few shadow mice, it wouldn't be a difficult task.
"Mr. Zhong misunderstood." Qi Ning said immediately: "I don't need you to capture any shadow rats. I only need you to find out whether there are any shadow rats lurking in the capital. If you find any trace of any shadow rats, report them immediately. That's fine with me, I have my own plans for the next thing."
Zhong Ya seemed to understand something. He nodded slightly and said, "I understand the Marquis's instructions. I will inform Elder Suzaku about this later."
"Don't alert the enemy." Qining warned: "Since Shadow Mouse is good at tracking, he naturally has anti-tracking capabilities. Don't let them know that someone has noticed them."
"Don't worry, Mr. Hou, I can take care of this matter."
Qi Ning then smiled and said: "Then I'll help you brothers." Suddenly something occurred to him and he asked softly: "How much does Mr. Zhong know about Elder Xuanwu?"
"Elder Xuanwu?" Zhong Ya was a little surprised. He obviously didn't expect Qining to suddenly mention Xuanwu. He was slightly surprised and asked: "Why did the Marquis mention Elder Xuanwu?"
Qi Ning smiled and said: "That time at the Qingmu Conference, I saw that Elder Xuanwu's swordsmanship was amazing and mysterious. I also heard people mention that many swordsmen in the world were top-notch with Elder Xuanwu's swordsmanship. I’m a swordsman, but I’ve never heard anyone mention Elder Xuanwu’s swordsmanship, so it’s a bit strange.”
At the Qingmu Conference, Elder Xuanwu suddenly appeared, and even used his sword to fight against Lu Shanghe.
After Qi Ning learned the Wuming Sword Technique, he already had a lot of experience in swordsmanship. When he saw it with his own eyes, Lu Shanghe's sword moves that resembled the Wuming Sword Technique certainly surprised Qi Ning, and Elder Xuanwu's strange sword techniques also surprised Qi Ning. Ning was very surprised.
He naturally knew that Elder Xuanwu's swordsmanship was definitely a top-notch swordsman in the world when he used his swordsmanship. However, Elder Xuanwu had a good reputation, but no one had ever heard of anyone mentioning that he had great swordsmanship. From the reaction at the scene, Qi Ning also saw When he came out, Elder Xuanwu mastered the sword skills, which was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
"Master Hou, Elder Lou and I have heard about this matter. After learning about it, it was beyond our expectations." Zhong Ya whispered: "Elder Xuanwu's martial arts is the best among the four elders. The Beggar Clan has two major gang-suppressing martial arts, Nijin Jing and Zui Meng Jiu Shi. Historically, only the leader of the Beggar Clan has been qualified to practice the Ni Jin Jing and Zui Meng Jiu Shi. The secret skill of Xuanwu elders of all generations is the snake catching skill."
Qi Ning said: "So, Elder Xuanwu's best skill is the snake catching skill?"
"That's right." Zhong Ya said: "The four elders each have their own unique skills, but which one is stronger or weaker does not depend on the skill itself, but on the practitioner's understanding. Elder Xuanwu's innate understanding of martial arts is also very good for the gang leader. Appreciate it, he is also very proficient in the snake catching skill, and with his snake catching skill, Elder Xuanwu can be regarded as a first-class master in the world."
"Have you ever heard of him practicing swordsmanship?"
Zhong Ya shook his head and said softly: "The Beggar Clan does have a sword technique that has been passed down, but the Beggar Clan's martial arts has always attached great importance to fists and kicks. Although there are also stick and sword techniques, swordsmanship has never been the choice of the Beggar Clan. According to reports As far as I know, Elder Xuanwu seems to have never practiced any swordsmanship, so Elder Lou and I were very surprised to learn that he used swordsmanship to duel with Lu Shanghe."
"Elder Xuanwu's swordsmanship is extraordinary." Qi Ning said sternly: "Even among the world of masters, his swordsmanship can be regarded as first-class swordsmanship."
Zhong Ya frowned slightly and said: "The Beggar Clan is superior to martial arts and actually doesn't have much of a sect. If a Beggar Clan disciple learns other kung fu, the Clan will not hold them accountable, as long as they abide by the rules of the Beggar Clan." He paused for a moment. , then said: "But where does Elder Xuanwu's subtraction come from? Elder Lou is also very strange. It must be that Elder Xuanwu has another chance to be taught by an expert in swordsmanship."
Qi Ning nodded slightly, but thinking about that time when Elder Xuanwu and Lu Shanghe had a sword fight, he always felt that something was a little strange, but where exactly the strangeness was, he was not clear for a while.
However, Elder Xuanwu was far away in Northern Han Dynasty now, and he did not have much energy to think about these things. He smiled and said to Zhong Ya: "Mr. Zhong, there is one more thing I want to ask you for help. No one can help except you." .”
