Jianghu chaos

"Sunset City is related to the imperial court? It's impossible..." Ye Fushu muttered to himself, "If they are really related to the imperial court, why can't the teacher find out..."

Mei Qian looked at her fixedly: "What if it is found out?"

Ye Fushu raised his head in horror, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

She thought of Yan Wuya's order to "do not stop the Chaowenhui", and remembered the teacher's concern for Sunset City... She thought it was because the Sunset City was afraid of being backed by the Chaowenhui and did not want to offend, but she thought it was because the teacher was obsessed with chivalrous affairs and was curious Today's martial arts... Now that I think about it again, another possibility looms up.

What if the backing of Sunset City is also the imperial court?What if Sunset City itself was supported by the imperial court?

Xie Chaohan said: "If I remember correctly, the rise of Sunset City was only a few years ago."

"But..." Ruan Xi couldn't figure it out, "If they were all from the imperial court, why did the court news conference disclose the news about Sunset City to us? That President Pei doesn't seem to be on their side either. .”

"There is more than one Prime Minister Pei in the imperial court." Mei Qian casually said, "There is the Sunset City of the Wulin League in Jianghu, so why is the imperial court not Jianghu?"

"Yes... yes... there are people fighting for power..." Ye Fushu turned pale and stammered, "I... I understand that Chaowen Club collects martial arts anecdotes for, for ..."

"Investigation and monitoring." Mei Qian said coldly, "This river and lake is a pot of muddy water."

"Hey, don't scare the little girl." Xie Chaohan patted him, turned his head to comfort Ye Fushu, "Whether it's surveillance or doing some shady work, that's the business of the superiors, what has it to do with you , you still compile your tabloids and write your own words as usual, and enjoy yourself.”

Duan Li on the side seemed not to have heard him, and poured his own wine, only Ruan Xi looked blank: "What black work? Why did the court monitor the martial arts? The court has millions of troops at its disposal, so why should it care about sects? There are also Martial Arts League and Sunset City in the imperial court, so which side is the Chaowen Association?"

"Pfft..." Xie Chaohan couldn't help laughing out loud, and pushed his head back into the job bowl, "Should I say you're stupid or smart?"

Mei Qian said: "Whether Sunset City has anything to do with the imperial court has yet to be determined, and we need to explore it to find out."

After pouring the wine, Duan Li took a look at him: "You want to visit Bailu Villa at night?"

Mei Qian nodded: "Exactly."

The atmosphere on the table suddenly fell silent, and Ruan Xi was surprised: "Bailu Villa has many traps, and I don't know how many people from Sunset City are hidden. Brother, how do you want to find out?"

Mei Qian smiled and said nothing, just took a sip of wine slowly.

It was Xie Chaohan who said for him: "The gentleman on Liang is a thief."

Duan Li was silent for a long time, before he opened his mouth and said, "I won't go with you."

Mei Qian didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry about seniors, this junior alone is enough. I only need to trouble seniors to set off later to escort Ruan Xi and Miss Ye back to Baichuan Villa."

Ruan Xi was shocked: "Brother, I won't go back!"

Xie Chaohan didn't look surprised, he just said with a smile: "The final alliance meeting has already started, you represent the Lingxu faction, and you won't go back?"

Ruan Xi really hesitated for a moment, but said firmly: "It is said that the brother who fights the tiger, the senior brother will be in danger, so there is no reason for the junior brother not to help! Besides, at least I have stayed in Bailu Villa, it will always be useful. As for the alliance meeting... Anyway, I'm not good at martial arts, and it's embarrassing to play..."

"You know it's embarrassing too?" Before Mei Qian could speak, Duan Li scolded first, "I'm tired of watching you waste those peerless martial arts every day! It is said that you are the head of all the families, although you are not as good as Shangguan Yun, it's very easy to beat Ding Yanyue Lingxiang, I didn't expect you to be so useless, I'm afraid you can't even beat Wei Yang from Shangguan's family!"

Ruan Xi lowered his head silently.

Ye Fushu refused to accept: "Mr. Ruan is just new to the rivers and lakes, but he lacks some actual combat experience, not to mention that in terms of lightness kung fu, he has already surpassed Ding Yanyue and Lingxiang!"

Ruan Xi blushed: "Miss Ye..."

Duan Li was too lazy to argue with her: "Tch."

"That's right." Mei Qian changed her tune, "It's fine for you to stay, then it's hard work for Senior Duan to send Miss Ye back first."

Duan Li replied: "Tomorrow, we should be able to arrive at Baichuan Villa."

Ye Fushu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked softly: "Hero Mei, sister Qin...but what happened?"

Mei Qian frowned: "What?"

"The night before yesterday, I heard Ming Yuan tell Yan Wuya that he shouldn't play the piano..." Ye Fushu said in a low voice, "Yan Wuya...what did he do?"

Xie Chaohan was rather surprised: "Mingyuan? He actually maintains Doufu Fort?"

"No, it's not..." Ye Fushu said, "He said, if Yan Wuya wants to take revenge on the wronged creditor, he should go to the owner of the castle, and he shouldn't implicate innocent people..."

"Is this what Ming Yuan said?" Duan Li couldn't believe it, "What Sunset City said??"

Mei Qian's eyes flashed: "Senior is so excited, could it be that he also has grudges against Sunset City?"

Duan Li snorted, turned his face away and stopped talking.

Seeing them gossip about him, Ye Fushu became even more anxious: "Young Master Xie, is something wrong with Elder Sister Qin?"

"..." Xie Chaohan and Mei Qian exchanged glances, restrained their expressions, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Cao was injured and poisoned, and she has been unconscious for several days. We are inconvenient to say more about the specific situation."

Ye Fushu stood up abruptly: "Injured? Poisoned? When did it happen?"

Xie Chaohan looked at her: "Yesterday, I heard that people from Sunset City had appeared in Mengjin, and the Lord Cao personally went to chase after him. On the way, Yan Wuya intercepted him. It's already..."

Ye Fushu covered his mouth and almost exclaimed: "Fucking castle master? How is that possible!"

"Zhan Yan Wuya was also seriously injured, and was besieged and killed by the Juanyun Valley, Qinglingjian, and Huai'an Escorts who arrived later." Xie Chaohan sighed, "Miss Cao's poison has not yet been revealed. If she wakes up and hears the bad news, I'm afraid..."

Ye Fushu was stunned for a long time, his eyes gradually turned red, and tears rolled down silently: "I...I'll go back right away...I'll go to the teacher, he must have a solution..."

Duan Li couldn't bear it, and comforted her: "Hua Mantang has been doing his best to research, even though Hua Luan is not a good person, at least his sister is still in charge of personnel."

"It's also a good way to ask for help from the court hearing." Mei Qian went to the window and looked down. The coachman was inspecting the carriage, combing his horse's back and talking to the waiter in the restaurant, "Please also ask Senior Duan to take Miss Ye to set off as soon as possible. Yan Wu Ya died, Sunset City lost a Crescent Envoy in vain, we will not be indifferent, we need to be well prepared if we want to explore Bailu Villa at night."

Until Duan Liye Fushu started to leave again, Ruan Xi was still in shock and never said a word.Xie Chaohan patted him and finally brought him back to his senses.

Mei Qian had already spread paper and ink on the table, and put a pen into his hand: "Draw all the things you remember in Bailu Villa. It doesn't need to be too detailed, just draw a hint."

Ruan Xi pinched the pen, the ink dripped down and hung on the tip of the pen, he didn't write for a long time: "Brother, Brother Xie, is the castle master really... really dead?"

Mei Qian raised her eyebrows.

Ruan Xi was in a trance: "The master of the castle is so powerful, didn't he defeat Yan Wuya 27 years ago? Why did he still die?"

He is not familiar with Master Cao, he has only met him a few times from a distance, and he has not even said a few words. To him, those martial arts seniors are like legends, out of reach, respected and in awe, those who were born before him Even the world-renowned heroes who roam the rivers and lakes will be defeated and die...

"Who wouldn't die in this world?" Mei Qian snorted slightly, "One moment, another moment, after 27 years, not to mention that their martial arts are among the same as brothers."

"But..." Ruan Xi murmured, "Just like that... died..."

Mei Qian glanced at him, and said coldly: "It's not just the master of the castle, before you rushed to Baichuan Villa, the leader Qin of the Hengsha Sect also died in the hands of Sunset City; the day you fell into the hands of Xuanwu Dousu, If it wasn't for Senior Duan's protection, you would have died long ago. Jianghu is dangerous, do you think it's just as easy as talking in the book?"

"Do you think the battle of the Sunset City Martial Arts League is just a few martial arts conferences?" Mei Qian stared at him, her tone suddenly became more serious, "Do you know how many people died in that event 27 years ago? Not to mention anything else, Brother Shangguan In Lianxin Island of the ancestral home, 33 people died at the hands of Xia Yin, including the island owner Lian Heng and his son Lian Ke. There has always been resentment and revenge in the Jianghu. If you enter the Jianghu, you should know what it means to lick blood with a knife!"

Ruan Xi couldn't help but took a step back, and unconsciously let go of his hand, the pen fell down with a thud, and a large ball of ink was poked on the ground.

Mei Qian squatted down, picked up the pen, looked at it, and put it back on the table: "Jianghu is completely different from what you imagined. If you are afraid, you should go back to Mingzhou first. With Rong'an Chamber of Commerce, Sunset City will not treat you. "

"I..." Ruan Xi turned pale, and looked at Xie Chaohan for help, "Brother Xie..."

Xie Chaohan sighed: "Mei Jiu is right, you are not from the Jianghu, so you really don't need to get involved in this kind of Jianghu enmity."

Mei Qian nodded, turned around and walked out the door.

Ruan Xi panicked: "Brother!"

Mei Qian didn't stop, she walked out of the room and down the stairs.

Ruan Xi rushed out, grabbed the door frame and said loudly: "Brother, I was wrong! I'm not greedy for life and afraid of death, I'm just, just..."

"Mei Jiu didn't say that you are greedy for life and afraid of death." Behind him, Xie Chaohan said, "Martial arts entanglements, Jianghu enmity, have nothing to do with you, he is just worried about you."

"I don't understand anything about Jianghu enmity." Ruan Xi's chest heaved violently, and he said intermittently, "I didn't understand what it was like to be a hero... I don't understand now, but, but, senior brother, brother Xie, Shangguan Brother, and Ms. Ye, Miss Cao, are friends I met for the first time after I left home. How can I not care about friends? What's more, Brother Xie and Brother Shangguan are both dignified gentlemen, I, I just follow you! "

"And..." Ruan Xi scratched his head and became firm again, "As senior brother said, since the name of Rong'an Chamber of Commerce is so useful, maybe I can still protect you!"

Mei Qian paused on the spot, with a smile on his lips, and he never looked back: "Big words are not ashamed, let's learn your kung fu first."
