Chapter 1330: The smile of the sword God (8)

Flashes of sword’s reaction was within Leng yuqiu’s expectations. However, his strength … Was far beyond her expectations.

Leng yuqiu did not intend to draw her sword at the two people in front of her. She did not think it was necessary.

However, the moment young master Jian’s hand touched the hilt of his sword, the moment his battle intent and sword intent burst out from his eyes, Leng yuqiu’s expression … Changed.

Instinctively, Leng yuqiu took a step back. By the time he realized it, his hand had already grabbed his sword.

“How is that possible?” At that moment, Leng yuqiu’s mind was filled with confusion and shock.

But before he could think about it, flashes of sword had already attacked.

Wuwuwuwu

The blades of the swords collided in the air.

Anyone who could see this confrontation would certainly be amazed by the strength and speed of both sides.

However, the sound produced by this blow … Was neither loud nor heavy.

The sound was like two glasses gently touching each other, light and gentle.

After this attack, young master Jian and Leng yuqiu’s expressions changed and they both took a few steps back.

“I see …” Leng yuqiu thought to herself,”it’s not because his internal strength is weak that I can’t detect his internal force. It’s because his cultivation technique is unique and I can’t detect it.”

“Are you kidding me … This guy is actually this strong? Or is this the average level of the NPCs in this scenario?” Young master Jian was also bewildered.

“I haven’t asked for your name …” Leng yuqiu rarely asked for someone’s name, but this time was an exception.

“Huangfu mingkang,” Young master Jian reported his real name without missing a word. His real name did not sound out of place in this Wuxia World.

“Alright,” he said. Leng yuqiu did not mention her name, nor did she ask if the other party knew her. She only said,”okay.” Then, she sheathed her sword and took out a Silver Note from her pocket.”I’ll pay for it.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed over the silver notes.

However, young master Jian didn’t take it.

“No need.” Flashes of sword coldly replied,”we have the money.”

What he meant was that regarding Wanwan’s matter, they were being reasonable. As long as you were willing to compensate, it was fine. As for the money … It didn’t matter if you gave it or not.

“But I still think it’s better to compensate you.” Leng yuqiu did not retract her hand.”Just do me a favor.”

What he meant was that Yingluo, to him, this matter would only be considered over after he paid the money. Otherwise, he would feel that he owed someone something.

“Alright, then.” Young master Sword quickly understood what the other party meant. At the same time, he also realized belatedly that … When he decided to pull out his sword, he had already lost the opportunity to cooperate with this NPC. Now, he could only accept the money, end this incident, and accept that the other party would continue to maintain a “neutral” relationship with him.

Hence, the two players from world of martial arts accepted the money and left the second floor. They immediately went to the shopkeeper to change rooms.

They had only found out who Leng yuqiu was and what role he had played in this incident after they had talked to the innkeeper.

However, it was too late for them to lament about their poor ability to deal with NPCs.

…………

Meanwhile, in Wang Qiong’s mansion.

The smell of grains, cotton, straw, and firewood, as well as a hint of burning, mixed together and drifted into the house.

Wang Qiong was sitting on the brick bed, eating pastries and drinking hot tea.

Most people who saw him for the first time would think that he was an ordinary farmer. They would never think that he was a living God of Wealth with wealth comparable to a country.

“Villa Lord.” Cheng Wei’s voice came from outside the door.

He stood at the door with his back straight. Even though no one was looking around, when he said the word “villa Lord,” he maintained a serious and respectful expression.

“Come in,” Wang Qiong casually replied. As he spoke, he didn’t even finish the food in his mouth.

“Yes.” “Okay,” Cheng Wei replied and then lifted the curtain to enter the house.

“What did the midwife say?” Wang Qiong knew what the other party had come to report, so he asked directly.

“Heightslord, she’s a Virgin without a doubt.” Cheng Wei also gave a direct answer.

“Mm …” Wang Qiong nodded. After a few seconds of silence, he asked,”Cheng Wei, what do you think?”

Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment.”You mean …” He really didn’t know what this question was asking about.

“For this woman, I spent a lot of money, time, and connections … You know it all.” Wang Qiong continued,”aren’t you the least bit curious about what I’m doing this for?”

“Villa Lord, as servants, we shouldn’t ask about things we shouldn’t …” Cheng Wei lowered his head and replied.

“Hey!” Wang Qiong interrupted him with a wave of his hand.”You’re not the one asking me questions. I’m the one asking you.” He paused for half a second.”What do you think … Just tell me.”

This question was not easy to answer.

Although Cheng Wei had always been at Wang Qiong’s side, he knew very little about this woman.

“In this subordinate’s opinion …” After a moment of consideration, Cheng Wei replied,”does the villa Lord intend to marry this girl?”

Although this speculation sounded shallow, it was actually very reliable.

Indeed, Wang Qiong did not lack women, but “lover” and “wife” were two different things.

Wang Qiong was over forty years old and had never officially married. He had never spent so much effort on a woman before. In addition, he had specially arranged for a midwife to verify her identity …

Based on all these signs, Cheng Wei came to this conclusion.

“Hehe …” Wang Qiong laughed.”It’s reasonable …” He paused,”but it’s not right.”

“Then …” Cheng Wei raised another hypothesis,”is it to give it to others?”

“You’re half right.” Wang Qiong shook his head with a smile.”You’re half right.”

“I’m slow-witted, please enlighten me, villa Lord. ” Cheng Wei stopped guessing. A shrewd subordinate knew when to stop asking questions, even if it was his master who asked him to do so from the start.

“I want her to help me kill someone.” Wang Qiong said.

“Her martial arts is very high?” Cheng Wei’s eyes moved slightly.

“It’s not high,” Wang Qiong said,”in the words of the pugilistic world … Third-rate.”

“But the amount of money you spent on her is enough to hire at least ten first-class experts to work for you,” Cheng Wei said.

“Heh … But the people I want her to kill, even if I hire twenty first-class experts, will still not return,” Wang Qiong said.

Cheng Wei was silent.

By right, he should be asking “who?”

But he didn’t ask. He didn’t dare to ask, and he didn’t want to know.

“Why don’t you ask who that is?” Wang Qiong asked.

“Your subordinate … Wouldn’t dare,” Cheng Wei replied.

“Heh … That means you’ve already guessed it,” Wang Qiong said.

“Yes,” Cheng Wei couldn’t deny.

“But I want you to know 100%, not just a little,” Wang Qiong said.

“Thank you for your trust, villa Lord,” Cheng Wei said. He had no other choice but to accept it.

“I want to kill the current Emperor,” Wang Qiong said.

Even though he had faintly sensed that he would hear such an answer, when he heard it, Cheng Wei’s mind still buzzed, and the huge pressure instantly made his stomach churn.”Villa Lord … May I ask why?”

“Because he wanted to kill me,” Wang Qiong replied.

Cheng Wei nodded. He didn’t ask “how do you know?” he knew very well that Wang Qiong would have his own way of finding out …

Therefore, if Wang Qiong said the Emperor wanted to kill him, then the Emperor would kill him.

“Why hasn’t he made a move yet?” Cheng Wei asked.

This was indeed a problem … If the Emperor wanted to kill someone, did he have to wait?

“Hmph!” Wang Qiong snorted coldly.”Hmph … He’s already made his move.” He clenched his right fist and said angrily,”and … You’re one step ahead of me.”

“What?” Cheng Wei’s expression changed.”You’re saying … His assassins have already been dispatched?”

“They’ve not just moved out, they’ve already come to me,”Wang Qiong said.

“Villa Lord!” When Cheng Wei heard this, his face turned pale and he knelt on the ground.”Could it be that you suspect that I …”

“Hey, I’m not talking about you …” Wang Qiong looked impatient. He turned his head and said,”don’t be so surprised. Get up and talk.”

Cheng Wei wiped the cold sweat off his face and stood up again. After calming down a little, he thought for a moment and said,””Then you’re referring to … That ‘Zhang San’?”

“He is indeed in cahoots with the assassin, but his mission has already been completed,” Wang Qiong said as he stuffed another piece of pastry into his mouth.

“What?” Cheng Wei didn’t understand.”Villa Lord … Who is that assassin?”

“That’s the woman,”Wang Qiong shrugged.

Before he said this, Cheng Wei didn’t understand, and after he finished, Cheng Wei was even more confused.

“You don’t understand?” Wang Qiong said,”you’ll understand when I tell you.”

“Villa Lord, please speak.” Cheng Wei cupped his fists.

Wang Qiong finished the rest of the cake in his mouth with tea, cleared his throat, and organized his thoughts. He said,””First of all, let me ask you … Do you know about the ‘Mirage’?”

“Your subordinate does not know.” Cheng Wei shook his head and replied.

Although he had once been a member of the pugilistic world, he had followed Wang Qiong for so many years that Cheng Wei’s relationship with the pugilistic world had long since become very faint. Unless Wang Qiong had given him instructions, he would not deliberately inquire and understand those more secretive news.

“There are four killers.” After a short pause, Wang Qiong continued,”four assassins who are unknown but never fail.”

These words were a very high evaluation.

For an assassin,”few people know” was more terrifying than “never failed”.

“It’s said that these four people each have an ability that is unparalleled in the world. ” Wang Qiong said,”and the four skills are … The ‘mirror’ disguising technique, the ‘flower’ beauty, the ‘water’ internal strength, and the ‘moon’ Qinggong.”

“Disguising technique?” Cheng Wei’s reaction was quite fast.”Could it be that ‘Zhang San’ is …”

“Yes, he ‘s’ Jing ‘.” Wang Qiong continued,”the woman he sent over was ‘flower’.”

He pursed his lips as if he was reminiscing about the dessert he had just eaten. After a short silence, he spoke again,””And ‘flower’ is the only one among the four who has a chance to kill the Emperor.”

Hearing this, Cheng Wei gradually caught up with Wang Qiong’s thoughts.””Is this the reason why the village head spent so much money to capture him?”

“Yes,” Wang Qiong nodded and said,”if we want to kill the Emperor, we have to find ‘flower’…’Illusionary flower’ and ‘moon in water’ are all very difficult to find. But half a month ago, I accidentally found ‘flower’ s ‘whereabouts due to an unusual incident.” He raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Wei.”That matter … You should know about it.”

“Half a month ago …” Cheng Wei mumbled,”are you referring to … King Yu ‘s’ hunting Fox meets immortal ‘incident?”

Not many people knew about the matter he was talking about because it was not considered a “Jianghu matter” or “court matter”. If one had to classify it, it was probably a romantic story …

The general plot was not complicated. A rather powerful Prince once went out hunting and “accidentally” met a beautiful “fairy” by a Lake. Then he “invited” the beauty back to his mansion and treated her with courtesy as a distinguished guest, hoping that one day he could move the Beauty’s heart.

Of course, there were many logical problems in this story. There were two main ones: Firstly, even if King Yu was lustful, the people around him should understand … This woman’s appearance was very strange, and her background was unknown. Why would he bring her back to the king’s residence? Second, even if everyone accepted that setting, how difficult would it be for a Prince to take a commoner’s daughter? No matter what, he couldn’t enter the rhythm of chasing a goddess like a spare tire, right?

In short, the unreasonable part was quite prominent, which also greatly reduced the authenticity of the story. It was just that … In that era, communication was basically based on shouting. It was passed on by word of mouth and spread with false words. In the end, there were many stories that were spread beyond recognition. There were even more ridiculous stories than this. Therefore, not many people knew about this story, and not many people questioned it.

Until…Wang Qiong heard the story.

Wang Qiong’s intelligence network was spread all over the martial world, the court, and the people …

As a result, he knew many things that others would never know in their entire lives, and he could also make many conjectures that others would never think of.

Although Wang Qiong wasn’t 100% sure, he was at least 50% sure that the ‘fairy’ that Lao Ai was currently visiting at King Yu’s mansion was the ‘flower’ in the mirror and the moon, and King Yu was her target.

After coming to this conclusion, Wang Qiong immediately used his connections to carry out a mission to “kidnap a woman from the residence of King Yu.”

Wang Qiong understood that once King Yu died, that woman would also disappear. An assassin like her would definitely disappear as soon as the mission was completed. Therefore, he had to be quick, to find that woman as soon as possible, or he might miss this rare and only opportunity.

Therefore, he went to the four unique of Yu Ling. The four of them might not be the best candidates, but they were the most suitable choices at that time.

However, it had been almost ten days since the four of them had set off. In the end, the person who had brought the “flower” to Wang Qiong was not one of the four unique of Yu Ling, but rather “Jing”.

“I … Still don’t understand.” Cheng Wei pondered for a moment and said,”according to what the heightslord said, the mirror and the flower are here to kill you?”

“Yes.” Wang Qiong said.

“But you were the one who sent someone to bring the flower back.” Cheng Wei said,”and … Isn’t her target King Yu?”

“Her target … From the very beginning, was me.” Wang Qiong said, almost word for word.

Hearing this, Cheng Wei’s thoughts were once again disrupted. He followed the villa Lord’s instructions and went over the matter again. Finally, after three minutes, he suddenly realized,””Then the matter of King Yu ‘s’ hunting the fox and meeting the immortal ‘… Was it arranged by the Emperor?”

“You’ve finally thought of it,” Wang Qiong nodded his head.”I told you. The Emperor wants to kill me. But if you want to kill me, Wang Qiong … It won’t be that easy. He knows very well that once I sense his killing intent, I’ll immediately take action, striking first to gain the upper hand.

“After thinking through this, he laid this trap …

“Only the Emperor can make a PRINCE Act for him.

“This show was for me to see, because only I could tell from the show that ‘the flower is going to assassinate King Yu’.

“And I … Did fall into their trap.”

This time, Cheng Wei followed Wang Qiong’s train of thought and continued,””As for that ‘mirror’… It should be a kind of ‘guarantee’. If there were no accidents, he wouldn’t have to make a move. But obviously … An accident happened.”

“Well …” Wang Qiong replied.”It’s said that a man who can charm the world with a ‘flower’ will be completely mesmerized by her with just a glance. Some men might even be willing to be killed by her. Therefore, even with her third-rate martial arts, she has never failed …”He paused.” Although I’ve told the four unique of Yuling not to let men confirm the appearance of the ‘goods’, and not to look at her on the way, I’ve already told them that I’m not allowed to see her. But I think … They probably didn’t do it. ”

His deduction was very accurate … When he snatched the flower from the king’s residence, the head of the four unique, zou ting … That ‘big brother’… Really did not see the ‘goods’ from the beginning to the end. As the one with the highest Kung Fu among the four uniques, he was responsible for bringing up the rear, while the ‘goods’ was quickly taken away by the other three.

The problem was with their third brother. This person was usually quite lecherous and often visited the brothels. However, it was precisely this kind of person who felt that his self-control was particularly good. It was as if his dog-like behavior in the face of ordinary women would turn into a state of calmness in front of a real beauty.

Things changed just like that. When the third brother saw Hua’s appearance, the second brother, Zhu Cheng, who was impersonated by Jing, knew that this person could not be kept alive. Otherwise, he would definitely cause trouble. As a result, he killed the third brother before zou ting could meet up with them.

Fourth sister didn’t have much to say about this. Third brother was indeed seeking his own death.

As for what happened after zou ting rushed to mi Luan Inn, it was just as he had written … The third brother’s death had also aroused his curiosity. The difference between zou ting and the third brother was that the third brother thought that he was a person with a strong self-control, while zou ting was really a person with a strong self-control.

Unfortunately, after seeing the ‘flower’, zou ting’s heart was in a mess.

He started to think about his mission …

Wang Qiong naturally wouldn’t tell him something as heaven-defying as “I want this woman to kill the Emperor.” He used an even simpler reason to urge me to sleep with this woman.

It was very simple and very convincing, but after zou ting saw that woman, this reason and purpose became an extremely unstable factor.

Hua’s beauty was enough to make a man like zou ting give up a huge reward and give her freedom … And his goal was only to occupy even an inch of her heart.

When this thought became clearer and more resolute, zou ting also lost his life.

Since things had come to this, there was no need for Jing Ye to continue pretending … It was logical for him to kill the third brother, but to kill zou ting … The real Zhu Cheng did not have such high martial arts skills.

Thus, he went all out and killed all of the four unique of Yuling. He burned these people and the innocents in the inn to the ground, then personally delivered the “flowers” to Wang Qiong.

“Villa Lord …” After Cheng Wei thought through the whole matter, he took the opportunity to flatter,”…Divine foresight, this subordinate is impressed …”

“Ha …” Wang Qiong laughed and said,”if he’s really smart, I should have figured it out when I was talking to Jing.” He held his chin with one hand and grabbed another piece of pastry.”But in fact … When you told me that she was ‘still a Virgin’, I just managed to sort out my thoughts.”

“Uh …” Cheng Wei didn’t quite understand.”Right, this subordinate doesn’t know … Whether that woman is a Virgin or not, what does it have to do with that?”

“I know a few more things about the Mirage,” Wang Qiong said. “For example … The four of them are biological siblings …”

When he said this, Cheng Wei’s other question,”why didn’t Jing fall for the flower,” was also solved.

“For example … Flower has never allowed any man to have her …” Wang Qiong continued,”another example … Other than her voice and appearance, Jing can also imitate other people’s martial arts moves and even their internal energy …” He gave a few random examples and did not finish them. He then continued,”in short, considering King Yu’s character … There is nothing more convincing than this about the identity of ‘flower’.”

With this reminder, Cheng Wei also came to his senses … King Yu was famous for being lecherous, and people called him the devil of lust, the devil of flowers. He basically wouldn’t let off any woman who was slightly more beautiful. It was abnormal for a woman to be taken from his residence and still have a pure body.

“En …” Cheng Wei muttered,”now … I understand everything.” He paused for half a second and continued,”since villa master already knows that the other party is here to kill you, it’s easy to handle … I’ll arrange a group of strong people … Of course, they’re all women … Immediately go and get rid of those ‘flowers’…”

“Wait,” “Who said anything about killing her?” Wang Qiong interrupted him.

“This … You mean … To lock him up first?” Cheng Wei was stunned again.

Wang Qiong picked up his teacup, took a big gulp of tea, and rinsed his mouth with it. Then, he got down from the brick bed.”No, I’ll go talk to her first.”

“What?” Cheng Wei almost shouted out these two words, but he held back in the end.

“Villa Lord …” Cheng Wei said,”didn’t you just say … That as long as a man sees the appearance of a ‘flower’…”

“Ha …” Wang Qiong laughed.”It’s not that I want to say it, but it ‘s’ legendary ‘.” He put his hands behind his back.”That kind of nonsense … I don’t believe it.”

“But …” Cheng Wei revealed a worried expression.”The four unique of Yu Ling …”

“Hahaha …” Wang Qiong laughed out loud.”They’re them, and I’m me. I’m sure that the legend is fake, and I’m going to find out what’s going on now.”

“Then what if …” Cheng Wei said.

Wang Qiong shook his head with a smile. He turned around and walked out of the room.”If it’s true, then what’s the harm in me dying in this legend?”
