thousand words

Gu Shangqing left Xiyuan pretending to be sulking, and hurried back less than an hour after leaving the house. He searched around Xiyuan like a tornado but couldn't find Baili Mingyan. When he was anxious, he went to the gate to wait, but I saw Baili Mingyan and Han Yunluo returning home on the same horse.

At this moment, the flame in Gu Shangqing's chest suddenly rose to its peak, and it was difficult to extinguish it even if he drank dozens of jars of wine.

Gu Shangqing said: "Your lair is about to be demolished, yet you still have the mood to flirt with me here?"

As soon as Baili Mingyan dismounted and was about to help Han Yunluo, Gu Shangqing rushed up and grabbed the skirt of his clothes and carried him away, leaving Han Yunluo messy on the horse's back.

"Stop, stop, stop...stop!" Baili Mingyan said four consecutive 'stops' unprecedentedly before stopping Gu Shangqing's footsteps.Pulling out the skirt from Gu Shangqing's hand, Baili Mingyan said angrily, "What are you doing, didn't you leave?"

Gu Shangqing's anger still persisted, and he said with a strange yin and yang at the corners of his mouth: "I have worked so hard to report back, but you feel that I am in the way of your love and romance." Gu Shangqing spread his hands helplessly and said: "Then the landlord will concentrate on coaxing your little baby Well, it doesn't matter if the Qishang Building is demolished."

Hearing this, Baili Mingyan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said seriously: "What's going on?"

Gu Shangqing saw that Baili Mingyan's expression finally became serious, and the anger in his chest dissipated slightly. He restrained his expression and said: "The news just came that the two bodyguards of Liaoyi Xuanmulou and Leiminglou were arrested by unknown men in black. Robbed."

In the past two years, the scale of Qishang Building has expanded rapidly, and seven sub-buildings have begun to take root in various parts of the Lu'an Dynasty.

The Fengxue Tower and Yuhua Tower are stationed in the capital; the Leiming Tower and Xuanmu Tower are stationed in Liaoyi; the Shuihan Tower is stationed in the southern Lingdu; the remaining Huoyun Tower is stationed in Nanman.These six sub-buildings are all under the general control of the landlord, and each performs its duties. The specific affairs are managed by the sub-host. The remaining Anwu Building is the dark part of the Qishang Building. The dark part wanders around and is directly deployed by Baili Mingyan.

The Dark Mist Building is specialized in intelligence collection and other secret affairs, and its sub-host, Dark Mist, is Gu Shangqing.

Baili Mingyan and Gu Shangqing have had a tacit understanding for many years, and immediately understood the meaning of Gu Shangqing's words, and then asked: "What is the method of 'robbing'?" '.

Gu Shangqing said: "The brothers who guarded the bodyguards were all killed, and one of the bodyguards was left alive and came back to 'report'."

"Report..." Baili Mingyan clenched his fists.He knew that this was not a report at all, but a threat.He purposely left one alive to bring back the news of the murderer, so that Baili Mingyan knew that no matter how powerful he was, he would never be able to break his arms and legs.

It was that person who was forcing him, forcing him to take the initiative to compromise, to personally apologize and ask for forgiveness.

Baili Mingyan was never afraid of threats, but this time the other party started to attack him cruelly.

"What darts are they?" Baili Mingyan gritted his teeth and asked.

Seeing the anger in Baili Mingyan's eyes, Gu Shangqing said in a deep voice, "The gold and silk clothes to the famous knife clan in the capital and the Yao Gongcup to the Nanling King in the mausoleum."

Sure enough, they are all precious treasures.

"What is the commission?"

Gu Shangqing said: "A total of 1000 taels of silver."

Baili Mingyan frowned and said: "The deposit will be refunded in full, and each will pay 1000 taels. Tell the employer that we will find the lost things as soon as possible, so please don't worry." After a pause, Baili Mingyan continued: "If they If you want to make trouble, tell them, we have killed more than a dozen people this time, let them stop!"

Gu Shangqing rarely saw such a serious Baili Mingyan. Although Baili Mingyan often had the bitter face of a dead wife, he could still see that most of the time Baili Mingyan was in a peaceful mood.But this time, Gu Shangqing saw a rare murderous look in Baili Mingyan's eyes.

Gu Shangqing nodded slightly and said, "I know."

Baili Mingyan then asked: "Is there any news about the man in black?"

Gu Shangqing glanced at Baili Mingyan, hesitated for a moment and finally sighed, "It's a dead man." Gu Shangqing understood that this was another warning from Baili Chen to Baili Mingyan.

Facing this threat again and again for so many years, Gu Shangqing also feels powerless.Knowing who the murderer is, but unable to resist.After all, Qishang Tower was no match for Qijue Villa.

Moreover, Bai Lichen seemed to have a kind of self-confidence, thinking that Bai Li Mingyan ran away from home to establish his own sect, which was just a whim driven by the impulsive energy of young people.He was confident that Baili Mingyan had had enough trouble outside, and if he couldn't hold on anymore, he would naturally bring them back to Qijue Villa.As time went by, Baili Mingyan became more and more powerful, and Baili Chen only stepped up his pressure, but his self-confidence never wavered.

Gu Shangqing once wondered why Bailichen believed in the fact that Mingyan would eventually return to Qijue Villa, and he also wondered whether Mingyan had left any other clues in Bailichen's hands.

"Is it a dead man again?" Baili Mingyan frowned and shook his head with a wry smile, "That old man doesn't care about the huge martial arts alliance, he always comes to force me..." And when he was in contact with Han Yunluo, Baili Mingyan Yan will not believe this is a coincidence.

Gu Shangqing looked at Baili Mingyan, and after a long silence, he tentatively asked, "What are you going to do next?"

Baili Mingyan said: "Shangqing, I will trouble you to garrison Liaoyi during this time, I will go to Huangquan Valley."

Gu Shangqing was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Yellow Spring Valley? Go find Rong Shu..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Shangqing suddenly understood that the anger he had just extinguished suddenly rose up, and he said angrily: "Baili Mingyan, you are enough! Are you even ignoring Qishang Tower because of this surname Qian?"

Baili Mingyan's expression was indifferent, and he said slowly: "So I entrusted Qishang Tower to you, and I believe nothing will happen if you are in Qishang Tower."

"You..." Gu Shangqing gasped.Then I heard Baili Mingyan continue: "By the way, let the news out, it is said that there is a bodyguard in Qishanglou who is about to be escorted to Lingdu recently."

"What dart?"

Baili Mingyan said in a deep voice, "Qian Yuhan."

Gu Shangqing was stunned, and after a while he covered his face with a smile and shook his head, sighing: "You crazy..."

three days later.

On the official road in the southern suburbs outside Liaoyi City, a group of more than a dozen men in black clothes escorted a carriage to the southeast.The leading man was dressed in white, with his hair tied up with a jade crown, and he looked like a refined scholar with a jade face.

This group of people passed through the green forest at the fastest speed of the carriage. It was a summer afternoon, and the noisy cicadas around them covered up some dangerous sounds.They didn't seem to notice that a few people with strange movements had followed them half an hour ago, and they followed them all the way to Jinqiu Town outside Liaoyi City before stopping in a nearby woods.

Several masked men in black watched the bodyguard team go away, and the leader said: "It should be good, it is the bodyguard team of Qishang Building, and the scholar in white at the head should be Shangguan Zhe, the owner of Xuanmu Building. The sub-owner will escort him personally." , it seems that the news this time is not false, the person in the carriage is likely to be Qian Yuhan. Immediately notify the second team."

The person next to him nodded, and said: "Yes." After a pause, he hesitated and said, "Qian Yuhan, who has been missing for seven years, suddenly appeared, and it was rumored that he lost all his martial arts... If this is a rumor, let's rush up like this Wouldn't it be death..."

The leader glared at him, and the people next to him immediately fell silent and did not dare to continue speaking.There is a scar on their eldest eye, which is said to have been chopped off by their enemies when they wandered in the rivers and lakes in the early years, because of this scar, it looks quite scary when they stare at people.

The man with the scar scolded: "If he has not lost his martial arts, would he still need to ask Qishanglou to escort him with his ability? Besides, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let alone whether the lost "Thousand Words" is on him, even if it is not , can capture Qian Yuhan himself, and with his bounty, he can also make a fortune in the Wulin League."

"But Boss, we can imagine that others won't make a move? At that time, it won't be a waste of soldiers and a bamboo basket..."

The scarred man said angrily: "Shut up! You are worthless, hurry up and notify the second team."

A snow-white homing pigeon fluttered up from the deep green forest. It was shot by an arrow before it flapped its wings twice in the air, and fell straight down, landing at the feet of a man wearing a black cloak and a hood. .

The man squatted down to remove the messenger tube from the carrier pigeon's feet, and took out the note inside.

After scanning the note at a glance, I already knew it.The man raised his head and looked at the blue sky, the hood on his head slipped down, revealing his snow-white silver hair, which shone brightly in the sun.

"Follow him and kill him!" The man ordered in a deep voice to a dozen men in black who flashed beside him.

The men in black around did not respond, but disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.

After the man with the scar notified the second team, he led his brothers to chase after the dart team non-stop, thinking of having a back and forth attack with the second team to ensure nothing goes wrong.

After passing through Jinqiu Town, I finally saw the bodyguard team. Unexpectedly, the second team hadn't appeared yet. Considering the time and distance, the bodyguard team should have been stopped long ago.

The man with the scar was anxious, thinking that the second team would be able to respond after only half a stick of incense at most, so he yelled and urged his horse to catch up and drew out his knife to prepare to chop.Seeing the boss rushing forward, the younger brothers did not dare to lag behind and rushed forward one after another. In an instant, dozens of people surrounded the dart team, as if they were bound to win.

The jade-faced scholar who was the leader of the bodyguard team was taken aback for a moment, and then he immediately backed away and leaned close to the carriage, fully on guard.

This posture made the scarred man even more certain that the person sitting in the carriage was Qian Yuhan who had lost all his martial arts.

"Brothers, come on!"

This order made Yumian Scholar immediately confirm that these people were unknown sects, to put it bluntly, they were mountain robbers, there was nothing to be afraid of, and just as he was about to give an order, dozens of men in black suddenly flew out from the nearby woods.

From the appearance of the man in black to the fall of the men with scars, it was only a blink of an eye.All the men with scars were stabbed in the jugular artery by the dart, and blood flowed all over the place in an instant, and no one was spared.

The man in black didn't say a word, and rushed to the carriage immediately after killing the scarred man, and the escort team immediately rushed to fight.

There were dozens of men in black, all well-trained and with clear goals. They had no intention of fighting with the bodyguard team, and rushed to the carriage whenever they had the chance. The carriage was stabbed with swords and riddled with holes in a short while.

"Ah... I can't take it anymore..." There was an impatient sigh from the carriage, and the man in black who had just rushed to the carriage gave a sudden pause, and then the carriage door was kicked open by the person inside. , followed by a sharp sword.Just one step slower, the leg of the man in black was stabbed by the sharp sword.

Looking up, the person coming out of the carriage was Qian Yuhan. Although he had never seen that face before, it was no different from the portrait he had seen before.

However, the moment Qian Yuhan showed his face, the leading man in black yelled: "Withdraw, I've been tricked!"

But at this moment, there is no way to escape. Qian Yuhan's joining turned the originally evenly matched two sides into a unilateral beating by Qishanglou.After a while, the man in black either fled or died, but finally caught two alive.

'Qian Yuhan' clapped his hands towards the jade-faced scholar and said with a smile: "The task is completed."

Unexpectedly, the jade-faced scholar frowned and said, "Shangqing, you are too impatient."

Gu Shangqing touched the thick skin on his face, then found the joint and slowly tore it off. He took a sharp breath and said, "I can't wait any longer, any more second will suffocate me to death."

Shangguan Zhe said: "Otherwise we can catch more."

Gu Shangqing glanced at him indifferently and said, "It would be nice to have two who can talk."

In the next second, Shangguanzhe used a knife to remove the mask of the man in black. Gu Shangqing saw that the lips and chins of the two were scalded by the iron, and their mouths were glued together and unable to speak.

Gu Shangqing was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly showed a deflated expression.

Shangguan Zhe said: "Look at the others."

Sure enough, all the other dead men in black had this face. Gu Shangqing was a little annoyed, and said, "They are all dead soldiers. I'm afraid only the leader can speak, but it's a pity that he ran away!"

"It's okay." Shangguanzhe said suddenly.

"Ok?"

Shangguanzhe glanced at Gu Shangqing, and finally said slowly: "I probably already know."
