Shijiabao is not a famous family that has been passed down for many generations. To be precise, it was precisely because of Shi Tianqi, a martial arts tycoon, that it gradually reached its current situation. The foundation was not deep, the elders were not strong, and the master of the castle was suddenly killed. Everyone seemed panicked, helpless, noisy and confused about the incident. Ling Yue who appeared at this time was naturally regarded as a life-saving straw by them. ,
Does anyone in the fort know why your father went out and traveled across the rivers and lakes for many years, struggling countless times. After getting through the initial shock and grief, he sorted out the clues and asked Shi Xiaodang and Shi Xiaoxiu the most critical questions.
Meng Qi put his sword in the mustard ring, his hands hanging down naturally, and he stood beside him like a pine tree. He didn't interrupt and listened quietly.
The Shi family is not related to me, so I don't need to spend too much effort on them, but if I can spot a problem, I don't mind helping. After all, everyone in the world knows that Su Meng, the mad swordsman, has always been chivalrous and courageous.
Shi Xiaodang and Shi Xiaoxiu looked at each other and shook their heads sadly: After nightfall, we asked housekeeper Zhou and the servants and maids who served his father. They only knew that at dusk, his father left the study in a hurry, with a solemn face, and left the castle in the blink of an eye.
Butler Zhou and others behind him nodded, supporting the two young masters.
Ling Yue sighed and said: "Actually, the old beggar and your father are going to have a life-and-death battle tonight to reach the second level of the ladder. Su Shaoxia is the witness. However, after waiting for a long time, your father still didn't see you, so he came to the door."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Shi Xiaoxiu and Shi Xiaodang turned pale. Could it be that their father died under Uncle Ling's stick and they had a life-and-death fight. There were witnesses, so they must have signed a corresponding contract. That would not be possible even if they seek revenge openly and honestly. .
After hearing this, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the heroic and calm Meng Qi, and hurriedly asked: Could it be that my father went out in a hurry just to attend the appointment with his uncle, but was assassinated on the way
They had seen Meng Qi's image in Changle. It can be initially confirmed that the person in front of him is genuine, and the reputation of the chivalrous swordsman Su Meng is all over the world. Even if he is slandered by the evil devil, True Immortal Chu Yang has clarified it. With his testimony, there is no doubt about the matter, and his father did not keep the appointment.
Ling Yue shook his head and said: The old beggar and Su Shaoxia met by chance, and he was asked to testify later. The person who assassinated your father could not have known about it in advance. Why didn't Shi Shiran take action until your father and the old beggar fought until both sides were injured? Reduce risk, increase likelihood of success
The role of a witness is, first, to have high moral character and prestige, so that what they say has weight and makes people believe it; second, to prevent someone from using dirty tricks in the fight of life and death, such as ambushing a helper; third, to prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation and profiting from it.
Moreover, if your father is not responsible for his actions, he will be bound by life and death. I will definitely leave you a few words before departure. He left in such a hurry, as if there were other important things. Ling Yue judged.
Having said this, he said seriously: The old beggar made an agreement with your father. If I die in the battle of life and death, he will regard my disciple as his own disciple. If he dies, the matter in Shijiabao will be the matter of the old beggar. Go through fire and water, escape death, no matter what. Although the fight of life and death is not possible now, the old beggar will still bear it with all his strength.
This sentence greatly stabilized the hearts of people in Shijiabao. Shi Xiaoxiu, who was strong on self-support, immediately shed tears and cried miserably.
Meng Qi, who was wearing a green shirt and had the calmness of teaching the Tao Te Ching for many days, suddenly said: Judging from the current situation, the Lord of the Stone Castle is not attending a life-or-death appointment, and if it had been arranged in advance, he would not The date of the duel is set for today, because after finishing other things, can you still keep your body and mind in peak condition? Obviously not.
In other words, something unexpected happened that made him leave the fort. Since it was an emergency, how was it conveyed to him? Following this line of thinking, we should be able to find some clues.
Concern leads to chaos. Ling Yue, Housekeeper Zhou and others are not newbies in the world. They should have thought of this aspect earlier, but they have been entangled in whether Shi Tianqi left any words or notes. Now Meng Qi explained it clearly. Once, you will wake up immediately.
Butler Zhou exclaimed: After dinner, the old man seemed to hear the sound of birdsong coming from the study. He didn't care at the time. Now that he thought about it, he was afraid that it was a secret message.
Shi Xiaodang brother and sister were very excited, turned around and ran towards Shi Tianqi's study. Ling Yue followed closely with a solemn expression on his face, and Meng Qi followed slowly.
Shi Tianqi's study is neatly tidied, with pens, inks, paper, inkstones, literature, and books neatly arranged in categories, showing that the owner is meticulous and hates clutter.
This kind of person doesn't put things randomly, and they must be where they should be. Meng Qi just took a glance and made this judgment.
Because of this, Shi Xiaoxiu only searched in the place where Shi Tianqi usually pressed the message note, without looking too much elsewhere. Now he walked to a bookshelf, opened the secret door, and took out the secret reports placed in chronological order. , and pulled out the last letter.
That letter cannot be called a letter, it is just a small piece of paper as wide as an index finger, with an eagle, a golden tent, and a docked wolf drawn on it. The three figures overlap each other in a strange way, which is extremely difficult to imitate. It looks like a child's scribbling. , besides that, there were only three words on the note: Luohunjian.
Luohunjian Shi Xiaodang turned around suddenly, his eyes red.
Luohun Stream has steep terrain and beautiful scenery. It is only two to three hundred miles away from Shijiabao. He is quite familiar with it.
etc. Ling Yue stretched out his hand to stop him, then pointed at the strange picture and asked, is this a secret message
When Shi Xiaodang and Shi Xiaoxiu shook their heads in confusion, only Butler Zhou took a breath and said: Lone Wolf
When the lone wolf Meng Qi heard this name, he thought of the grassland, not to mention the eagles and golden tents on it.
Butler Zhou gritted his teeth and said: This matter is only known to the castle owner and the old man. It is one of the secrets in the castle.
The owner of the castle has an inextricable relationship with Gao's Huamei Villa and other aristocratic families in Changle. He has always helped them find out the secrets of the grassland during exchanges. Later, he secretly cultivated a grassland orphan and sent it to the Golden Tent through the hands of others. Because we provided information, he has repeatedly performed meritorious deeds and won Guldo's trust. The superimposed pattern of the golden tent of the docked wolf and the eagle is his secret mark.
The trusted spy of the Golden Account suddenly left the grassland and returned to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The information he brought must be very important and urgent. He couldn't wait for the normal process. No wonder Shi Tianqi's face was solemn and he walked in a hurry, leaving no words or words. Meng Qiruo said thoughtfully.
Ling Yue was famous for fighting against the grassland. He didn't dare to delay any longer, picked up Butler Zhou and flew towards Luohun Stream.
Meng Qi has been favored by Huamei Villa and Chunyang Sect many times. His eldest brother Doubi is also from the Northern Zhou Dynasty royal family. Hearing that the matter is related to the grassland, he is obliged to follow and rushes to Luohun Stream.
The Shi brothers and sisters were just enlightened and had no choice but to ask an elder on location to take them with them.
The Luohun Stream was not far away. Not long after, Meng Qi and others flew up to the sky. They saw a water stream splitting the mountain range, rushing almost like a waterfall. The water mist it stirred up was filled with mist, making it look like a fairyland.
As soon as Meng Qi opened his eyes and looked down from a high position, he found the traces with a casual glance and immediately dropped them.
This is a mountain forest next to a water stream. Now, with a certain point as the center, there are signs of tree death in a large area, and at that point, two corpses are lying.
The owner of the castle, Butler Zhou, stared at it and shouted sadly.
Ling Yue's eyes were reddish and his eyes were sad. He walked to a corpse and fell to the ground. He was wearing a black robe with a special texture. It was obviously a treasure-level protective gear. There was a thin wound on the back of his head.
The corpse was turned over, and the Shi brothers and sisters who had just arrived burst into tears. It was Shi Tianqi. There were no other wounds on his body, except for the wound on the back of his head.
While Ling Yue was deep in thought, he saw Meng Qi coming over. He knelt down to take a closer look and asked expectantly: "Is there anything to gain?"
Killing with one sword, the control of the explosion of sword energy is extremely good. It has just destroyed the soul and crushed the brains, but it has not spread out. For the killer, this consumes the least and leaves room to guard against sudden changes. Meng Qi watched and said that with the murderer's strength, if the sword energy exploded completely, it would be enough to destroy the surrounding mountain peaks, not to mention the corpses, but he did not do so, and the mustard rings on the Lord of the Stone Castle's armor were all there, indicating that the murderer After one blow, he immediately ran away without doing anything extra.
This is the purest assassin, an assassin who can overcome greed.
Ling Yue's expression suddenly changed: Bu Renlou's Qing-level or Blue-level assassins are here just to silence them.
Shi Xiaoxiu, a young or blue-level assassin from Burenlou, shook his body and almost fainted.
It seems that no one has ever succeeded in seeking revenge on Burenlou.
The corpse next to him had an obvious grassland face, and he should be the spy of the Golden Account. However, his corpse had been completely crushed by the sword energy. With a slight touch, it turned into fly ash, leaving no trace. If it hadn't been here just now, If there is no wind, Meng Qi and others may not be able to see the body.
This is not a purely unprofessional assassin, it must be the destruction of corpses required by the employer.
Being able to recruit Burenlou's Qing-level and Blue-level assassins, one can imagine how important that information is. Meng Qi frowned slightly. Now it seemed that the clue had been lost.
Shi Xiaodang and Shi Xiaoxiu opened the mustard ring and found nothing relevant, so they had to put away their father's treasured weapons, picked up his body, and said with sad expressions: I don't know who is looking for Burenlou.
Cheng is a golden tent, which is more dangerous than Buren Tower. Meng Qi sighed, wondering what was brewing in the grassland.
It's a pity that the clue has been cut off
At this moment, Meng Qi had a premonition in his heart and suddenly closed his eyes. He felt that deep in the mist, there seemed to be a dark shadow hidden. It was difficult to accurately detect the location of the shadow. He was quietly peeping at himself and others, patiently, Focused, scary
Meng Qi, the blue-level assassin of Buren Tower, suddenly had this idea in his mind. He didn't even have time to take out his sword, and used his palm instead of a soldier, fully alert.
The shadow seemed to be aware of Meng Qi's perception. It retreated slightly and disappeared into the mountain stream.
Su Shaoxia, Ling Yue, Shi Xiaoxiu and others were shocked by Meng Qi's reaction.
Meng Qi breathed out and said in a deep voice: The Qing-level and Blue-level assassins of Burenlou are still nearby.
He paused and said solemnly:
It shows that there are still clues that have not been erased. .
