[Sword Three + Covering Rain] Wu Wang

On August [-], Wuchang Mansion.

Wuchang Hanfu welcomed a group of extremely important visitors today.Among the guests were Xie Qinglian, a disciple of the Immortal God of the Changbai School, Ma Junsheng, a close disciple of Shaolin Wuxiang God, and Ma Xinying, the younger sister of Ma Junsheng and the second lady of Majiabao.Together with the two young masters of the Han family, Han Xiwen and Han Xiwu, the Baidao young heroes gathered together.

But the limelight of these people was overshadowed by another guest.

There have always been two holy places in the martial arts world, one is "Cihang Jingzhai" and the other is "Jingnian Zen". In the past 200 years, no one has ever set foot in the rivers and lakes.Now Cihang Jingzhai is uncharacteristically sending his disciples to practice in the world.

This female disciple, Qin Mengyao, is a peerless beauty who looks like a fairy. She is also known as the most outstanding successor of the two holy places for hundreds of years. female swordsman.Her appearance implied that Pang Ban, who had retired for 20 years without any reason, was really unwilling to be lonely and reappeared in the arena.

Pang Ban has sat firmly on the No. 1 throne in the world for 40 years, and regardless of whether she is his opponent or not, the news of Cihang Jingzhai's involvement in the world is enough to shock the hearts of the Baidao Eight Sects Alliance.They not only admired Qin Xianzi's appearance and martial arts, but also were aroused by Pang Ban's unbearable memories decades ago.

The younger generation often feel that the admiration for Pang Ban is exaggerated, but the older generation has lingering fears.

In the past, Pang Ban challenged the Central Plains martial arts masters everywhere. Master Juejie, the number one martial artist in Baidao, died under Pang Ban's hands. The successor No. 1 Wuxiang Monk challenged twice and lost twice, which did not damage Pang Ban's arrogance.There is not even a record worth mentioning in the underworld.For a while, no matter the underworld or the white way, everyone was terrified when they heard Pang Ban's name, and the anti-Yuan cause of the civil rebel army stagnated because of this.

When Pang Ban was at the height of his arrogance, he went to Cihang Jingzhai to challenge Yan Jingan, the owner of the zhai, and suddenly retired for 20 years without any reason after leaving.Those in the know said it was the work of Yan Jingan, and she was also praised as the only person who could make Pang Ban feel scruples.

The birth of Qin Mengyao can be regarded as bringing a glimmer of light to the Central Plains martial arts shrouded in the shadow of Pang Ban.

Today she followed Ma Junsheng and others to the Han Mansion, and immediately became the focus of attention of the whole family.

Standing behind the third young master Han Xiwu, Han Bai, the servant of the Han family, peeked at Qin Mengyao's back, almost intoxicated.He only had, inevitably, some fantasies about young girls.In the past, he thought that the ladies of the Han family were rare beauties in the world, but he didn't want to meet Qin Mengyao in a hurry today, her beauty made him feel like a thunderbolt, and he almost forgot where he was.

The host and the guests chatted happily, and kept bringing up topics such as "Pang Ban", "Eight Faction Alliance", and "Rage Jiao Gang". Han Bai was so lost that he didn't hear a word.

Soon, admiration quickly turns to self-pity.Thinking about it, a lowly servant like him is lucky to be able to peek at the fairy from behind. Only a famous disciple like Ma Junsheng is qualified to pursue her!

After the host and guests had lunch, Han Bai wandered in the garden, thinking about his own unworthy thoughts.On the way, he bumped into Fifth Miss Han Ningzhi and sent him to deliver a small package to Ma Junsheng, but after seeing Ma Junsheng, before he had a chance to take out the package, the other party asked him to help deliver the letter to Qin Mengyao.

There wasn't any subpoena related to him, he was just running errands.

Holding the letter from Ma Junsheng, Han Bai stood outside the small building where Qin Mengyao lived, his heart beating wildly, and it took him a long time to muster up the courage to shout, "Miss Qin!"

He only waited for a short period of time, and the door of the small building creaked open.Qin Mengyao, who was dressed in coarse white clothes, stepped out, looked at him with those clear and profound beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, little brother?"

Qin Mengyao actually called him little brother!

Han Bai almost bit his tongue, lowered his head, hesitated for a long time before explaining the matter clearly, and presented Ma Junsheng's letter respectfully, saying: "Miss Qin, please open it and read it. If there is a reply, The kid can also help bring it to Master Ma."

Qin Mengyao thanked her with a smile, and opened the letter.Han Bai stood aside, secretly glancing at her from the corner of his eyes.

Qin Mengyao didn't put any makeup on her face, and didn't have any decorations on her hair. Her clothes were the most common hemp texture, but her every move was so beautiful, with a natural beauty.In contrast, Miss Fifth, Han Bai's favorite, is simply an ignorant girl.

He noticed that she was still carrying the ancient sword on her back. Will she never put down this sword at any time?

Qin Mengyao's beautiful face suddenly burst into a clear smile, folded the letter, and said softly: "Mengyao has no reply letter to bring, little brother can go to his own business."

Han Bai felt a strong jealousy.Maybe this letter is a love letter written by Ma Junsheng to her, asking her to have a romantic relationship with her, but Qin Mengyao did not reply to the letter, which means he acquiesced to Ma Junsheng's invitation.He felt extremely unhappy about this, but what right did he have to interfere with the Patriarch's friend?

Jealousy gnawed at his heart like a poisonous snake, Han Bai did not know where he had the courage to raise his head and asked, "How many days will Miss Qin stay here?"

Qin Mengyao was taken aback for a moment, and although she didn't understand why he asked this question, she still answered seriously: "It's only two or three days at most, I have other things to do, and I may have to disappoint your family's kindness."

Han Bai was immediately disappointed, and said dejectedly: "Yes, the boy is leaving."

In his heart, even if he is not qualified to pursue Qin Mengyao, it is good to see this fairy often, but Qin Mengyao will leave soon.After leaving, the chances for her to return to the Han Mansion are very few.Could it be that the fate with her is only a few days?

He left the inner courtyard in a daze, disgusted and despised himself to the extreme, but bumped into Xie Qinglian in the garden corridor.Xie Qinglian stopped him and asked about the thick back knife in the arsenal.

Xie Qinglian, as the student of the Immortal God, has been competing with Ma Junsheng everywhere, vying for the limelight in front of Qin Mengyao.Since Han Bai doesn't like Ma Junsheng, he naturally doesn't like Xie Shaoxia who also intends to pursue Qin Mengyao.However, Xie Qinglian, as a distinguished guest of the Han family, had something to ask, and he had to answer it.

The thick back knife was recently put into storage.

More than ten days ago, Han Qingfeng, the elder brother of Mansion Master Han Tiande, came to the Han Mansion and brought this thick-backed saber, and asked Han Bai to put the saber in the arsenal.Han Qingfeng was known as "Dao Feng Han" and had a great reputation in the world. When he mentioned this knife, his expression was extremely troubled, which attracted Han Bai's attention to it.

The shape and size of the thick-backed knife are very ordinary, seemingly inconspicuous, but whenever he touches the blade, a strange feeling flows into his heart along with the cold touch of the blade.He couldn't tell whether he liked or hated this feeling, so every now and then, he always took the opportunity to clean the arsenal to touch it.

He has been assigned by the Han family to clean and maintain the weapons stored in the arsenal since he was a child. He has touched at least hundreds of weapons, including many famous swords. This is the first time he has felt what it means to be unable to stop.

In the arsenal today, both Ma Junsheng and Xie Qinglian showed strange expressions towards the knife, and both of them covered it up in front of the master.It is common for martial arts practitioners to be interested in weapons, but they hide it and refuse to let people know, which makes Han Bai feel strange.Unexpectedly, what was even more strange was that Xie Qinglian left Han Tiande alone and instead asked him about a handy boy who didn't know anything.

Han Bai's knowledge of this knife is also very limited, so he can only tell the truth.Xie Qinglian showed an excited look, thanked him and left in a hurry, leaving him there inexplicably.

He thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he decided to go to Ma Junsheng first and send Han Ningzhi's small bag.

He heard that Ma Junsheng had a visitor, and it was He Qiyang, the chief arrester of Wuchang Mansion, but he couldn't find Ma Junsheng, nor could he find He Qiyang.Now it happened to be the time for the Han Mansion to take a nap in the morning and afternoon, and the mansion was empty.He turned around aimlessly, thinking to himself that Han Ningzhi didn't say that he would "deliver it immediately", and when the master got up, he would naturally see Ma Jun's voice, why not go to the arsenal first, and carefully study what is in the thick back saber Surprisingly.

There was no one on the way to the arsenal.

From a distance, the door of the arsenal was seen wide open.This is impossible, because he locked the arsenal with his own hands.

Han Bai was startled, rushed forward a few steps, and stopped immediately.

He saw a few people walking out of the arsenal, two carrying an object in front, followed by a woman.The woman was quite beautiful, wearing yellow clothes, very eye-catching, one could recognize her as Ma Xinying, the second Miss Ma, one of the guests.One of the people carrying things was Ma Junsheng, and the other was He Qiyang, the chief arrester, who was wearing an official uniform.

Han Bai's mind went blank, his eyes fell on the things they were carrying, and then moved up slowly, locked with the eyes of Ma Junsheng who was walking in the front.His whole face contorted at once with utter terror.

In fact, he didn't quite understand what happened, but Ma Junsheng's expression was so terrifying that he felt as if he had been immersed in ice water, and he couldn't breathe.

Ma Junsheng's lips moved, and Han Bai couldn't help trembling. Suddenly, he screamed vaguely, turned around, and ran away.

At the end of his life, he thought of Qin Mengyao.

But the fairy did not come to save him, and no one came to save him.With the howling sound of sharp weapons piercing through the air, Han Bai's exclamation stopped abruptly, and his thin body was knocked into the air and fell heavily to the ground.A long sword pierced him across the face, and blood immediately gushed out from the wound and flowed on the bluestone slab.

The boy looked at the tip of the sword protruding from his chest in disbelief, and slowly closed his eyes.

This is the sword of the famous Shaolin hero Ma Junsheng.

There was still no one around, the arsenal was located in a remote place, far away from the master's residence, Han Bai's voice before his death did not disturb the people in the Han family.Ma Junsheng's face was paler than that of the dead Xie Qinglian. He rushed forward, trying to pull out the long sword stuck in Han Bai's body.He Qiyang shouted: "Don't move, blood will spurt out, and it will be difficult to clean up!"

Ma Jun turned around and looked at this nephew who was ten years older than him and had been struggling in the officialdom for many years.

He just threw his sword to kill Han Bai, it was really helpless.Once Han Bai escapes, he will definitely alarm everyone in the mansion, including the fairy Qin Mengyao from Cihang Jingzhai, how will he maintain his identity as a Shaolin disciple and a famous white man?What's more, Ma Xinying also killed Xie Qinglian, and when the news spread, Majiabao could not escape the revenge of the Immortal Immortal.

Whether it is his father Ma Renming or his master Wu Xiangseng, they have repeatedly warned him not to easily attack people who do not know martial arts.Therefore, after he killed Han Bai, who had no martial arts skills at all, his mind almost collapsed. Knowing that He Qiyang had ulterior motives, he could only rely on him.

He Qiyang was startled by Ma Junsheng's skill in throwing the sword, knowing that his mood has changed drastically now, and he is like two different people from ordinary famous heroes. If he can't be comforted successfully, he may be the next to die.

He is also worthy of being a famous local arrester, his mind turned very fast, and he immediately said: "Master, at this point, we can only cover it up with all our strength, you and I immediately take these two corpses out of the house, I will find a safe Miss Ma, you don’t have to follow us, find something to wipe off the blood here, and then go back to your room to sleep, no matter what happens, pretend to be ignorant! And absolutely don’t show you Looks like it's been through the arsenal."

Ma Xinying was much calmer than her elder brother, she hesitated a bit, nodded and said: "I understand."

Ma Junsheng's face was ashen, looking at the eagle knife wrapped in layers of cloth in Ma Xinying's arms, he remained silent.He Qiyang persuaded: "No poison, no husband, everything has already been done, it's useless to think too much, it's better to dispose of the corpse quickly. Besides... Besides, Mr. Fang, the little magician, has always been thirsty for talents. If you know It must be very happy that a master of white Taoism like Master Uncle is willing to take refuge in the Mage Palace."

What he said was solicitous, and what he said was not unreasonable.

If you can catch up with Pang Ban, you don't even have to be afraid of being pursued by Wuxiang Monk and Shimen, and a mere immortal is even less worth mentioning.Ma Jun glanced at him coldly, but Ma Xinying was greatly moved and called out: "Brother!"

She assassinated Xie Qinglian with her own hands, and she was inevitably afraid, with a prayer on her face.Ma Jun let out a long sigh, leaned over and picked up Han Bai's still warm body, and walked towards the path without saying a word.He Qiyang hurriedly followed, thinking how he could get more benefits from Fang Yeyu by taking back Ma Junsheng.

Han Tiande and Han Qingfeng went out to do errands before taking a nap, and they didn't come back by dinner time, so Mrs. Han came out to entertain the distinguished guests in person.However, as the banquet was approaching, Xie Qinglian never arrived, and even Han Bai, who had always been diligent and honest, was nowhere to be seen.A group of people were busy asking who had seen Xie Shaoxia, and someone from the mansion came to report that the door of the arsenal was opened, and they might have lost something.

A shadow flickered between Qin Mengyao's clear brows.

Although other people do not have her spirituality and intelligence, it is not difficult to think that Xie Qinglian's disappearance is related to the theft of the arsenal.The young lady of the Han family rushed to the arsenal and checked for a long time, but it was the second young lady Han Huizhi who said, "It seems that the thick back knife near the gate is missing, it is the one that the uncle brought to our house."

Ma Xinying raised her brows, trying to point out Xie Qinglian's strange behavior when she saw the thick back knife.Ma Junsheng saw her thoughts and shook his head slowly at her.

In fact, even if she doesn't say it, it's not like no one remembers it.At the same time, Han Huizhi recalled that after visiting the arsenal in the morning, Ma and Xie both showed surprise expressions before going out.At that time, she was only paying attention to Ma Junsheng, but didn't pay attention.Thinking about it now, the eyes of both of them should have been on the thick back knife at that time.

She thought that if she pointed this out, she would accuse Changbai's direct disciples of stealing the property of the Han family in disguise, and would embarrass Ma Junsheng, who also showed abnormalities.If Xie Qinglian suddenly showed up and said that he forgot to deliver the letter when he went out to do business, the Han family would inevitably lose face. Under the power of two evils, she hesitated for a while, and held back her silence.

Han Xiwu resentfully said: "Brother Xie, maybe he just went out for sightseeing and forgot the time. Where did Han Bona go?"

Suddenly, Arsenal became quiet, and all eyes were fixed on his face.

Xie Qinglian is a distinguished guest of the Han family, and Han Bai is a servant boy of the Han family, so the importance cannot be measured.Everyone was chaotically looking for Xie Qinglian, but no one paid any attention to Han Bai's whereabouts. It wasn't until the idiot third young master called out Han Bai's name that the people in the Han family connected him with this matter.

Han Xiwu couldn't bear this look, and shouted: "It depends on what I do. If you lose something in the arsenal, don't ask Han Bai who to ask? Could it be that Brother Xie killed Han Bai, stole the thick back knife and ran away?"

Ma Xinying scolded angrily: "You are talking nonsense!"

Suddenly, Qin Mengyao raised his eyes, which were clearer than the stream and calmer than the lake, and turned around her face.Ma Xinying's heart skipped a beat, she didn't dare to look at her, and turned to look at Ma Junsheng.

Ma Junsheng took a deep breath, and said calmly: "He Qiyang, the chief arrester of Wuchang Mansion, came to visit me this afternoon. Since then, I haven't seen Brother Xie again. Has anyone seen him?"
