Can Brother Yu help me with anything? Wang Zai asked doubtfully.
Meng Qi smiled: It's not a big deal. I just recently studied some ancient books and found a lot of unfamiliar place names. I want to find out where they are today. Brother Wang, you know that as a casual cultivator, I usually have little information. , it’s rare for the Mi family and the Bai family to owe a favor, how could they not make good use of it
I don't know which place names Wang Zai was interested in, but he didn't ask Meng Qi why he suddenly looked through the ancient books. Generally speaking, looking for ancient place names often means ruins or secrets. Probing into the details can easily spoil the relationship, so he will naturally say what needs to be said.
And 90% out of 10% of similar efforts will not yield any results. With the passage of time and vicissitudes of life, except for some landmarks, the ancient landscape is completely different from today's.
Wuzhi Mountain, Wuyou Valley, Xinghui Lake. Meng Qi thundered and said the names of the places that were rushing around, and included Wuyou Valley among them, so that no one could see the true purpose.
He did not report these place names casually. In order to find the Wuyou Valley that was related to the mystery of Zhenwu, he did read the relevant ancient books and memorized a large number of ancient place names. However, due to the fact that the ancient books that could be obtained normally were relatively common, he could not Find clues to the Valley of Worry.
I have never heard of Wuyou Valley in Wuzhi Mountain. It seems to be an ancient secret place. The exact location is unknown. Xinghui Lake was located near Lulong in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It is now called Yingyuetan.
Meng Qi, who was in the main world of Wuyou Valley, asked casually and had other purposes. He never expected to get the conclusive information by accident.
He believed that Wang Zai, who cultivated Haoran's righteousness, would not deliberately lie. At most, he could not go into details due to family regulations.
After Wang Zai recalled everything one by one, he apologized and said: Brother Yu is not very interested in ancient things and has only occasionally read a few ancient books. Let's ask Zijing again.
Mi Zijing was instructing his clansmen and guards to interrogate the sword dance members separately. Suddenly he saw Meng Qi leaving and coming back. He was surprised and said: Su Shaoxia, could there be any clues
Meng Qi smiled brightly and had white teeth: Mr. Mi. Aren’t we talking about Qi Gu? The Bai family and the Mi family owe me a favor
Ah, Mi Zijing didn't want to deny it, but was dumbfounded. Favors are things that should be kept secret, so asking for them directly would be too shameless.
Meng Qi smiled and said: Mr. Mi, I have always been magnanimous. Say whatever you want, ask for whatever you want. Not hypocritical, hypocritical and modest.
Although he was obviously joking, Mi Zijing still broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. Su Meng, the Crazy Sword, was indeed not an ordinary person: I don’t know what kind of reward Su Shaoxia wanted.
Meng Qi repeated what he had just said to Wang Zai. Mi Zijing breathed a sigh of relief. He was still within the scope of his ability to make the decision, so he ordered the housekeeper to watch the interrogation and took Meng Qi to the Shixue Building.
After Meng Qi waited in a nearby pavilion for a while, Mi Zijing asked the elder who was watching the building. I came back and told him the relevant information, which was more detailed than Wang Zai's. I also had answers to several place names that Wang Zai didn't know before, but there were still some missing parts, including Wuyou Valley.
Is there any other place where I can find these place names? Meng Qi frowned deliberately.
Seeing that the information was incomplete, Mi Zijing felt quite sorry and said sincerely: The Bai family has a long heritage. There are more ancient books than mine, but the rules are very strict and you can't enter them rashly. I'll mention them for you first. You should have the search results in two days.
Meng Qi pondered for a moment, half-pleading: Mr. Mi. Thank you for your kindness. I wonder if you have any friendship with Yingcheng Liumen. I heard that they have many ancient books.
The six doors do not completely represent the imperial power, and are also mixed with aristocratic families. It is not uncommon for the powerful figures in it to come from top aristocratic families, and Mi is also a relative and has inextricable ties with the imperial power. It would be no problem to make friends with the Six Gates of Yingcheng.
Mi Zijing thought for a while and said: "The county government's Qian Yinzhang and Shu Qingshou are both selling our family some thin noodles. Since Su Shaoxia wants to borrow ancient books, I will take you there."
Wang Zai had other matters and did not follow him. Meng Qi and Mi Zijing quickly walked through the streets and alleys and arrived at the six-door Yingcheng County.
It was almost dusk, and the person on duty was Shu Changxiao Shu Qingshou, whom Mi Zijing mentioned. After hearing the request, he saw that it was not something that needed attention, so with a stroke of his pen, he asked Meng Qi to search in the ancient books room by himself, while Mi Zijing was worried about the assassin. I had to say goodbye in advance and return home in a hurry.
Meng Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief in the ancient book room that was filled with the aroma of books and a faint smell of staleness. He didn't know whether the people of Shinhwa had targeted him, so he didn't dare to rush to the secret contact point to submit a secret report and expose the matter of Shinhwa. Instead, he used the name of the place to pass through Mi's house and came to the door openly and openly.
Now that he was in the county government office where there was a Yin Zhang suppressing him, he finally no longer worried about being spied on.
He picked up a pen and paper, found a corner, and wrote a secret report, saying that Shinhwa hated Dongyang Beifu and planned to take revenge on him. Then, after thinking about it, he also wrote down the news about the Wolf King and asked Liumen to help find him. , he is probably still in Yingcheng.
After writing it, he took out the Qing Shou official seal hidden in his arms, left his own traces at the end, folded the secret report into tofu cubes, a small piece, and placed it on the inside of his belt.
After doing all this, he slowly looked through the ancient books.
Unknowingly, two hours passed, and Meng Qi was unable to find detailed information about the Valley of Worry. He could only confirm that it was in the main world and had existed since ancient times.
After leaving the ancient books room, he went to the signature room to say goodbye and thank Shu Changxiao.
After sending Meng Qi away, Shu Changxiao looked back and found a neatly folded letter on the table.
It is already dark, but the bustling streets of Yingcheng are lit up like daylight, and fireworks are in full bloom from time to time, which are colorful and show the flavor of the New Year.
There are still many people walking on the streets, some picking up New Year's goods, some hurriedly returning home, some watching lanterns and guessing riddles, and some playing pot throwing. Especially the streets near Tianxiu River are even more lively than during the day.
After submitting the secret report, Meng Qi relaxed slightly and was no longer so worried about Shinhwa coming to his door. He slowed down slightly on his way back to Xingyun Village, admiring the lights and colorful decorations on both sides of the street, posting blessings and hanging couplets, and buying candied haws on a stick from time to time. , buy some candy snacks, have a great time.
This painting is good. Meng Qi saw someone setting up a stall to sell paintings. There were a group of people surrounding him, including young and old, as well as female servants with children.
As he was waiting there, a large group of people suddenly came, blocking the left and right sides, forcing him to wait first.
Among this group of people, a woman was holding a three- or four-year-old boy. It was a bit difficult to walk, so she put him down and planned to hold him for a while.
When the little boy saw a candy vendor nearby, he struggled to get close to him while sucking milk, crying and fussing.
Suddenly, he broke away from his mother's right hand and stumbled for two steps. He stood there blankly, looking at the flow of strange people around him, and cried out in fear.
His mother was curious and amused, and was about to go over and lead him. At this moment, two beggars passed in front of her, blocking her view.
Suddenly a beggar with a sarcoma on the left side of his face appeared next to the boy. He picked him up, covered his mouth, and ran towards the end of the street. The little boy's mother happened to see this scene.
She chased after two steps and was knocked to the ground by the crowd, crying miserably:
save my child
Meng Qi did not expect that a kidnapping would happen right under his nose. Since he was not involved, his spiritual sense did not respond and he was unable to take action in time.
This woman looks like she has no martial arts skills. This is normal human trafficking.
I have long heard that the Beggar Clan is a mixed bag of good and bad, and that most of its members cheat, kidnap, and steal, and commit all kinds of evil. I have never believed it, but now I understand that I was deceived before.
The two beggars blocking the woman's view were carrying sacks. Meng Qi recognized them as disciples of the Beggar Clan, but they were mixed in with the crowd and difficult to find. However, Hanako holding a child could be vaguely seen.
He always has a chivalrous heart, and spreads out his body skills like a fish swimming through the crowd, often miraculously dodging in the blink of an eye.
The man named Hanako couldn't compare with Meng Qi's physical strength. When he reached the end of the street, he was about to be caught.
Suddenly, several beggars ran out of the nearby street, causing the crowd to become chaotic and surge in all directions, just in time to block Meng Qi.
He gritted his teeth, jumped up, stepped on the tops of pedestrians' heads, and chased them as if they were treading water. Many people's heads were lightly touched by him, but they were still unconscious, thinking that there were birds passing by.
At this time, the man named Hanako had rushed into an uninhabited yard with his child in his arms.
Meng Qi did not relax his vigilance to avoid being attacked by a trap. When he followed him inside, there was no trace of the beggar.
He had encountered many similar situations. After a short search, he found the entrance to the tunnel. When he came out, he saw the same abandoned house. There was a group of beggars in the yard opposite, and the street was relatively quiet and deep.
Meng Qi identified the traces and walked straight over.
This friend, this is the Yingcheng branch of the Beggar Clan. What do you want? A beggar stopped in front of Meng Qi. He was about forty, white and tender, with many patches on his clothes, but clean and refreshing.
He was carrying six sacks and seemed to be the helmsman.
The beggar who was holding the child just now escaped here. Meng Qi took a breath and asked politely first.
The beggar said with a cold face: No, you are looking in the wrong place.
But he clearly came out of here. Meng Qi narrowed his eyes.
The six-bag beggar sneered: "I didn't see it anyway. There are so many beggars in the world. How could they all belong to our beggar gang?"
I saw. Meng Qi was decisive.
The six-bag beggar snorted: Friend, are you trying to make excuses? Do you want to provoke our gang of beggars for some unreasonable reason, for some inexplicable child
Don't look down on us because you are well-dressed. Hanako tells you that when you are walking around in the world, it is best to leave things alone that you shouldn't.
He was vaguely threatening.
Meng Qi suddenly smiled, with the corners of his mouth raised and his white teeth exposed: This matter
With a clang, the long sword was unsheathed.
I'll take care of it. . If you like this work, you are welcome to support it, it is my biggest motivation.
: Thanks to the Script Alliance for the tens of millions of rewards.
