I hang up and lie flat in the world of martial arts

Chapter 156 Conditions
"Zhou Jin, I have seen him before. When he was in Prince Liang's Mansion in the past, he was not like this..." Shen Ke shook his head and sighed, looking at Zhou Jin's fleeing back.

"It's different now." Qi Xuan said with a smile, "Master Shen used to see only the guards of the palace, but now this is the commander of Tianwuwei who is very popular in front of the Holy One."

As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, for the emperor, the only criterion for employing people is loyalty rather than ability and character.

"But fourth brother, aren't you afraid that this surnamed Zhou will sue us in front of the sage?" Qi Zong didn't like Zhou Jin too much, but after all, he was a celebrity around the emperor. There was a grudge in the emperor's heart.

Qi Xuan smiled nonchalantly: "It's only a week, and I can't afford to make too many waves."

Li Han can also be regarded as half a man in the rivers and lakes.

He should understand in his heart that Dayong's biggest crisis now is not in the court, but in the rivers and lakes.

If the world is not balanced, his throne will not be secure.

Qi Xuan, on the other hand, is one of the few people who can influence the entire situation of the arena by himself.

Qi Xuan was suddenly very grateful that what he traveled through was a world of martial arts.

If it is the same ordinary world as in the previous life, even if you are born noble, you can only follow the trend of the world, and a little carelessness will be a disaster.

And if it's the kind of world of immortals with no upper limit of strength, even with the help of plug-ins, I have to worry that someone with a higher level of cultivation than myself will appear one day and kill me in seconds.

Only in the world of martial arts, as long as one's cultivation reaches the ceiling as now, one can be invincible. This game of chess in the world can be played and watched whenever one wants.

It's not impossible to even lift the table.

After Qi Xuan thoroughly practiced Taiyin Jue, he had secretly thought that with his current strength, if he used disgraceful methods, it would not be a dream to kill a martial arts giant of the level of the Seven Schools by himself.

……

After Zhou Jin left, Qi Yan saw that Shen Ke obviously still had something to discuss with Qi Xuan, so he found an excuse and left.

After dismissing the imperial physician, only Qi Zong, Qi Xuan and Shen Ke were left in the room.

"General Qi, Mr. Qi." Shen Ke suddenly became serious, "I think it will be difficult to transport the 500 million taels of silver out of Ning'an Mansion."

The news that the imperial court wanted to rectify the Donghai Navy had already spread, and the news that Ning'an Mansion had 500 million taels of payment naturally also spread.

In the past, even if someone was greedy for the 500 million taels of silver, they would not dare to mess around due to the power of the Dayong court.

But it's different now.

The old emperor had just passed away, and the newly enthroned emperor seemed to be a bit out of control.

Coupled with the sudden rise of the Shanhe Society, the dominance of the seven sects in Jianghu for a century is on the verge of collapse, and some ambitious martial arts figures are also ready to move.

You must know that it has been less than 200 years since the founding of the Great Yong Dynasty. Before that, the structure of the world was controlled by various forces in the world.

People in the rivers and lakes have not forgotten the fairy days of one family, one county, and one family.

Shen Ke, the magistrate of Ning'an, is suffering in his heart.

Originally, after the crown prince ascended the throne, his money bag as a prince was to go to Beijing to take a post. Seeing that the throne of the household department was within his grasp, the 500 million taels of silver in his hand suddenly turned into a hot potato.

If there is anything wrong with this money, let alone getting promoted in Beijing, it would be good if he can save his own life.

"Shouldn't the imperial court send Zhou Jin alone to escort this batch of money?" Qi Zong asked after hearing the words, 500 million taels of silver is not a small amount, so the emperor handed it to Zhou Jin with confidence?

"There are also three arresters from the Department of Pursuing Murders and Thieves, Yan Buyi, Liu Guanyue, and Sun Qiao."

Except for the dead Bai Wusheng, the three gold-clothed god arresters in the capital have all arrived.

Shen Ke went on to say: "In addition, Master Pushan of Shaolin also agreed to help, but... because the martial arts conference is coming soon, he wants us to start as soon as possible."

It has to be said that this timing is too coincidental.

On the fifteenth day of next month, a martial arts conference will be held. Now Ning'an Mansion is full of people from all walks of life.

Although there is a limit on the number of people participating on the first floor, there is no limit on the number of people watching.

In addition, the final reward of this martial arts conference is a peerless famous sword. There are many people who love kendo in the world, so this grand event cannot be missed.

Now if you go for a walk on the streets of Ning'an Mansion, five out of ten people carry swords with them.

Qi Xuan pondered for a moment and then asked: "What's the news in Jianghu now, does anyone have any thoughts about this batch of money?"

The Dayong court is still operating normally, and its intelligence capabilities are still top-notch in the world.

Shen Ke replied with a serious face: "Since the news of the 500 million taels of silver spread, the influential forces in the world have not been very calm, but we still found traces of spies from the White Horse Gang and the Changxing Gang around the Yamen. "

"In addition... there are rumors in the world that a grandson of the 'Ye Huo Monk' once uttered a bold statement in the gambling house, saying that his master is bound to win the 500 million taels of silver."

The "Fire Monk" survived the crisis, and the imperial court pursued the second-ranked ruthless man on the black list of the Department of Murder and Robbery.

He was originally a warrior monk in the King Kong Temple. Because of a conflict with his fellow disciples, he set fire to the brothers who lived in the same room with him and escaped from the King Kong Temple.

The King Kong Temple also sent people to clean up the house, but this man was not only skilled in martial arts but also scheming. Not only did he escape the pursuit of the King Kong Temple, but he also committed bloody crimes, and countless innocent people died at his hands.

It is rumored that he likes to torture people with fire the most, and claims that the fire he uses is karmic fire. Only those who are truly pure and innocent can escape the karmic fire, so they are called "karmic fire monks" by people in the rivers and lakes. .

The King Kong Temple was discredited because of the "Yehuo Monk", and since then it has been reduced to the bottom of the seven sects, and Shaolin has logically become the only representative of Buddhism in the Central Plains.

It is rumored that Duan only accepts some vicious people as disciples, and for decades, there have been reports of his disciples and grandchildren committing crimes all over the world.

Du Nan himself has been silent for more than ten years. Some people say that he is dead, and some people say that he has lost all his martial arts because of his many evils and illnesses, so he has no choice but to hide.

However, such things as karma, after all, are ordinary people's beautiful imagination.

The last time the imperial court discovered the traces of the "Ye Huo Monk" was three years ago. He hid in a small town on the northeast border. Not only did he live a happy life, but he also married several wives and concubines, and he had children.

The imperial court joined forces with the eminent monks of the King Kong Temple and Shaolin to round up, but the vigilant Du Nan noticed in advance and fled in advance. Before fleeing, he burned to death all his unsuspecting family members.

The latest news about the "Yehuo Monk" was two years ago when someone saw the "Yehuo Monk" and the third-ranked "White Wolf King" Bager chatting happily at the White Wolf King's Court in Mobei. .

It is rumored that the "White Wolf King" Bagger personally invited Du Nan, who was hunted down, to visit the White Wolf King's Court.

This "White Wolf King" Bagger was originally a shaman of a nomadic tribe in Mobei. The Dayong border captured young sacrifices for him.

In the seventh year of Yuanfeng alone, the "White Wolf King" sacrificed thousands of people in three towns on the border of Dayong.

The imperial court also joined forces with people from the rivers and lakes to send experts to encircle and suppress the "White Wolf King", but after searching for more than half a year in the vast grasslands and deserts, they found nothing in the end.

Later, the "White Wolf King" seemed to have practiced sorcery and no longer invaded the border of Dayong, and people gradually forgot about him.

Only the third place on the black list has recorded the numerous murders he has committed.

……

Although I only got the news from the disciple of the "Ye Huo Monk", and I'm not sure whether this so-called disciple is the disciple who survived the disaster.

But some rumors are not groundless.

Shen Ke felt that it was still necessary to treat it with caution, so he thought over and over again, and finally thought of Qi Xuan.

If Qi Xuan can make a move, then the money matter will be settled!
"Fourth brother, I think..." Qi Zong half-spoken, looking at Qi Xuan's calm face, his voice gradually dropped.

clap la la...

At this moment, there was a rustling sound on the roof.

Qi Zong and Shen Ke couldn't help but look up nervously.

Qi Xuan said helplessly: "It's already here, there's no need to eavesdrop on the roof."

Qi Zong and Shen Ke immediately became nervous when they heard the words, until a beautiful figure slowly floated down from the door.

When Shen Ke saw the person, he breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and cupped his hands and said, "So it's Miss Zhao Er!"

It was Zhao Lingyue who came!
Didn't he just want to show up when he made such a big commotion on the roof!

In fact, Qi Xuan had already noticed that Zhao Lingyue was on the roof when Zhou Jin was still there.

"I've met Lord Shen." Zhao Lingyue smiled brightly, and after meeting Shen Ke, she clasped her fists at Qi Zong openly and said, "Lingyue has met elder brother."

Qi Xuan pouted at the side, she was quite familiar with her.

But Qi Zong seemed a little at a loss, he didn't dare to look directly at the handsome siblings in front of him, and he was entangled in what to call him.

Siblings?

Or Miss Zhao Er?

At this time, Zhao Lingyue took the initiative to open her mouth to relieve her: "Brother, just call me Lingyue."

Qi Zong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "It seems that the second uncle and the second aunt have found a good marriage for the fourth brother!"

After hearing this, Zhao Lingyue laughed and said nothing, and then looked at Qi Xuan who was expressionless.

Qi Xuan asked casually: "Has the matter of Donghai been dealt with?"

Zhao Lingyue nodded: "It's not a big deal, it's just a little more cumbersome."

"By the way, there is another person who went back to Ning'an Mansion with me this time, and he wants to see you." Zhao Lingyue continued.

Qi Xuan frowned slightly, as if he had guessed who it was: "Could it be someone from the Fujiwara family?"

Zhao Lingyue smiled slightly: "Fujiwara Naotora, Fujiwara Hidetora's youngest son."

She continued: "The life of the Fujiwara family is not easy now. You let Lin Qingfeng arrest all the Dongying people in Ning'an Mansion. The news spread back to the country. Now the Fujiwara family is under the enemy's allegation."

The vassals behind those Dongying people naturally couldn't vent their anger on Dayong, and in the end they could only vent their anger on the Fujiwara family who caused the disaster.

Now the situation of the Fujiwara family in Japan can be described as very difficult.

It is said that dozens of princes, large and small, have united to form an alliance to destroy the Fujiwara family.

And the Emperor, who represents the orthodoxy of Japan, also has criticisms against the Fujiwara family.

Qi Xuan had expected this result.

Killing a few members of the Fujiwara family in the Central Plains was nothing more than scratching the surface for the Fujiwara family in Japan.

Shoot people first, shoot horses, and capture thieves first.

Only by directly attacking the Fujiwara family in Japan can they feel the pain.

This is not... The Fujiwara family took the initiative to come to the door.

However, Qi Xuan was not in a hurry.

Anyway, Qi Zong has been rescued, and he has plenty of time to play slowly with the Fujiwara family.

"After all, what do you think of this batch of money?" Qi Xuan asked Zhao Lingyue.

I have been eavesdropping on the roof, but now I have made a noise and showed up. It seems that I am also interested in this batch of money.

Thinking about it, Qi Xuan couldn't help casting a warning look at Zhao Lingyue.

Sensing Qi Xuan's gaze, the corners of Zhao Lingyue's mouth curled up slightly: "Don't worry, I won't be reduced to grabbing the imperial court's salary, unless one day the imperial court will also be reduced to wantonly extracting the people's fat and anointing."

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Ke, the prefect of Ning'an.

Shen Ke smiled awkwardly, and immediately stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat stains on his head, and at the same time, a chill came down his back.

If Qianhu Villa is also interested in this batch of silver...

"Actually, if Mr. Shen needs it, I, Qianhu Villa, can help transport this batch of silver to Donghai Division."

"Really!" Shen Ke's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Zhao Lingyue excitedly.

Zhao Lingyue smiled and nodded: "Shen Ke can go to the rivers and lakes to inquire about it. I, Zhao Lingyue, don't count when I talk."

"That's really great!" Shen Ke was overjoyed in his heart.

With the appearance of Qianhu Mountain Villa, many forces in the world will retreat in spite of difficulties.

But... Shen Ke suddenly calmed down, and he asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Miss Zhao Er, what request do you have?"

Of course, it is impossible for Qianhu Villa to help this for no reason.

"A request...it's not a difficult task for the people behind Mr. Shen." Zhao Lingyue smiled slightly.

……

Shen Ke left Qi Mansion with a serious face.

Back to the courtyard.

Ziyun served hot tea to Qi Xuan, and Qi Xuan took a sip, the slightest bit of sweetness filled his heart.

It tastes familiar.

Looking down, it was the Hundred Flowers Nectar that I had tasted on the first floor.

Qi Xuan looked up at Ziyun.

Ziyun glanced at Zhao Lingyue, then smiled and replied, "Miss Zhao Er brought it here."

Qi Xuan immediately said, "Have you been to the first floor again?"

"Yes." Zhao Lingyue nodded in agreement.

"See your mother?"

"Ah."

Qi Xuan suddenly looked at Zhao Lingyue in surprise.

Didn't she always have the same situation as Tao Yufei? Why did she take the initiative to meet at the door and even accepted a gift.

Zhao Lingyue replied without raising her head: "Don't think too much, my grandfather has passed away, I just don't want to kowtow to Zhao Wuji and his wife when we get married in the future."

Is it really for this reason?
Zhao Lingyue glanced sideways and saw the doubts in Qi Xuan's eyes, and immediately sighed softly: "After experiencing what happened to my grandfather, I also understand why she would..."

Zhao Lingyue paused, and then said: "Her life went smoothly, except for my father's early death, she has never suffered even a little bit of grievance in her life."

As he spoke, his eyes gradually turned cold: "I was too harsh on her in the past."

Hearing this, Qi Xuan looked at Zhao Lingyue calmly, and then said slowly, "You went out and killed a lot of people this time?"

The evil spirit all over her body could not be concealed.

Zhao Lingyue sighed softly: "The Zhao family is a big family with a history of hundreds of years, even longer than Dayong's history, just like an old man who is dying, even if he uses heavy medicine, it is just delaying his life. "

"So you...decided to abandon the Zhao family." Qi Xuan said quietly, "You intend to train the Qi family to become the next Zhao family!"

"No!" Zhao Lingyue smiled at Qi Xuan, "The Qi family will always be the Qi family."
