Starting from the time when Mang traveled through Joy of Life, he fabricated the myths of the heaven

Chapter 429: Accident (Two in One)
These young masters from aristocratic families had also heard of Shen Yujing's reputation, and when they saw him in person, they were surprised at his youth, but that was all.

However, his gift did attract many people's attention. His golden birthday peach was much more valuable than the gifts, paintings, calligraphy, etc. given by the young masters of wealthy families.

This was Shen Qingzhou's intention. After all, he and the Hua family had a cooperation and were business partners. When giving gifts, they couldn't be too simple. Those noble families didn't care, as they were just friends in the underworld, but Shen Qingzhou's was a business friendship.

A golden longevity peach was one of the most valuable gifts this time. There was no ceremony at He Xiaohui's Tianji Hall, and her gift had been silently accepted. As for fame, she didn't need it.

In fact, the business partners and martial artists who came to celebrate Hua Ruling’s birthday were divided into two locations.

While the ceremony was going on, a man suddenly appeared, causing many women present to become excited.

A man wearing a red scarf and with a stern face, he looks very handsome, but Lian Chengbi, the leader of the six famous martial arts masters, Hua Manlou, Lu Xiaofeng, and even Jiang Biehe all have good looks.

Among them, Shen Qingzhou is also one, but his style is different. Hua Manlou, Jiang Biehe, and Gu Renyu all have the style of young masters from aristocratic families. They tie their hair up and wear a high crown. It's no problem to call them young masters wherever they go. Their hair is always carefully groomed and meticulous.

Although Lian Chengbi is from a noble family, he is more simple. He and Lu Xiaofeng both have dragon whisker bangs, but Lu Xiaofeng has the demeanor of a playboy, while Lian Chengbi is the kind of person who you would think is a young knight as soon as you see him.

As for Shen Qingzhou, he is actually very young, but like most people who travel the world, it is impossible for him to take care of his hair every day, so he just keeps his hair loose.

He really doesn't like to take care of his hair, and short hair is what he wants in the real world, but it's too unique, so he just keeps it simple.

However, this hairstyle doesn't look messy at all on him, instead it makes him look extremely heroic.

Everyone has a different style, and none is worse than the newcomer. However, the performances of those maids and some female knights made Shen Qingzhou a little speechless. Is this the influence of idols of this era?

The person who came was Qin Ge, the young hero from Huqiu, Qin Ge, the young hero who survived being stabbed hundreds of times and instead became famous.

Many people present were better at martial arts than him, and Lian Chengbi became famous at a young age, but his appearance did not cause such a big stir. The main reason was that the group of women were too exaggerated.

This is the influence of creating stars. They have fans, they sell peripheral products, and they also do autograph sessions, which means they have fans.

However, in the eyes of many people, Qin Ge was only trying to deceive ignorant girls. Although the so-called Seven Tigers of Jiangnan were quite famous, many people present did not take them seriously at all. They were just running faster. After being stabbed hundreds of times, their martial arts were just so-so.

"It turns out to be Young Master Qin Ge." Hua Ruling would of course not say anything. They came to celebrate his birthday. It seemed that he had no connection with Meteor Pavilion, but he was used to it. On his 60th birthday, there would surely be many people who wanted to get to know him.

Qin Ge came and went in a hurry. When he was leaving, he was stopped by a group of people to ask for autographs. Shen Qingzhou felt as if time and space were confused.

Those young masters of noble families left together after celebrating the birthday. Lian Chengbi left with Yang Kaitai. Yang Kaitai actually paid a lot of attention to Shen Qingzhou. He knew Hua Ping and he was someone Hua Ping truly admired. Knowing that Hua Ping died at the hands of Shen Qingzhou, he felt a little emotional.

He naturally would not seek revenge. Knowing someone does not mean that they have a good relationship. His nickname is the Iron Gentleman, but he is a true gentleman.

People from all the major sects also came. The one sent by Kunlun was called Zhen Shanzi, he was the junior brother of the current Kunlun Sect Leader and had great martial arts skills. He also chatted with Shen Qingzhou for a while because of Yue Tianmin. After all, Yue Tianmin had a different status in Kunlun. If he was willing, he would basically be the next Sect Leader.

Shen Qingzhou also knew that Yue Tianmin had gone to the Western Regions, but there was no need to ask what he was going to do.

Some people stay for the banquet, while others give birthday gifts and leave. Everyone’s purpose is to celebrate the birthday, and it’s good to know that people have come.

"Everyone, this auspicious occasion must be accompanied by beautiful scenery. This Ziwei Pavilion was built specifically to celebrate the birthday of Hero Hua. It is a great place to hold a banquet. It doesn't matter if you get drunk. Upstairs are the guest rooms. Those who come today are the loved ones and friends of the Hua family. It would be great if we all get together and have some fun, just like a family." Song Wencao said.

Shen Qingzhou watched his performance. He was urging people to drink before it even started. To most people, it might seem that he was trying to liven up the atmosphere, but in Shen Qingzhou's opinion, he had a conspiracy.

"If it were just my birthday, I would certainly not dare to trouble all my relatives and friends. However, tonight happens to be the Menghe Lantern Festival, and lanterns will be lit for seven consecutive days. In addition to the feast, everyone can go up to the building to enjoy the lanterns and flowers. Isn't that great?" Hua Ruling had to say a few words.

The person's speaking level is not ordinary. What does it mean that it just so happens that the Menghe Lantern Festival exists? It is true that this Menghe Lantern Festival exists because of Hua Ruling's birthday.

"Don't go up the tower unless you're drunk." Hawkeye Old Seven said.

"Open the banquet."

After Shen Qingzhou sat down, he smelled a special scent of spices. Without making a sound, a piece of snow lotus was already in his mouth. That's how much he liked it.

Not to mention, this wine with added ingredients not only smells strange, but it also has a unique flavor when you drink it. It is very fragrant, so fragrant that it doesn't even taste like wine.

He has perfected the Xuanbing Bihuo skill, and he is on guard and has many backup plans, so he is naturally not afraid of this kind of thing.

Therefore, he drank the glass till the last drop, and he also had the mission of making many friends. The wine was all red wine, no wonder many people didn't notice it.

"Brother Shen, from now on, when you come to my territory of Twelve Linked Docks, report my name as Eagle Eye Old Seven, and you will definitely get some face." Eagle Eye Old Seven is a bald man who looks extremely arrogant, but he is also the leader of a faction in the martial arts world.

"Of course, please." Shen Qingzhou raised his glass.

"That's refreshing." Hawkeye Old Seven laughed. Everyone was really drinking. No one expected that there was something in the wine.

Shen Qingzhou drank alcohol as if it were a beverage, which made Song Wencao laugh at him in his heart, thinking that he had overestimated him before, but this was only a good thing.

Suddenly, a group of people came to the door, dressed in Western costumes. The leader was called Emir. He came to congratulate Hua Ruling on her birthday on the orders of the King of Hanhai.

There was a veiled woman dancing an exotic dance, and the atmosphere was very lively. Time passed quickly in the excitement, and in the blink of an eye it became dark.

Some people left, but most of them stayed to watch the lantern festival. The location of Ziwei Pavilion is really excellent.

However, Shen Qingzhou did not join in the fun at this moment. He was paying attention to Hua Ruling and others, and not Lu Xiaofeng. He was too smart.

However, he knew the general plot, although he was not involved in this matter. Hua Ruling and the others wanted the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

"Captain Jin, what a coincidence, you are still not resting so late, hmm, you even hide some fine wine." Shen Qingzhou saw Jin Jiuling, who was holding a silver wine pot. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't hide it. Since Jin Jiuling came with a purpose, he followed him and entered the plot seamlessly.

When Jin Jiuling saw Shen Qingzhou extending his hand, his expression lit up with joy. He had long wanted to try Shen Qingzhou's martial arts, but he had never had a suitable reason. Now the reason came.

He used one hand that was like a claw but not a claw to grab Shen Qingzhou's acupoint. Then, he felt a little pain in his fingers, and the silver wine jug in his hand had already fallen into Shen Qingzhou's hand.

Jin Jiuling was a little helpless. He wanted to test it, but he didn't expect Shen Qingzhou to not dodge and the wine pot was snatched away directly. In his mind, the two of them would have to fight for a few moves, but who could have thought that Shen Qingzhou was so reckless. He knew that Shen Qingzhou's horizontal training martial arts was very powerful, and the Thirteen Taibao horizontal training golden bell cover was at the great success level, but he didn't expect that you, at the great success level, didn't even dodge when I grabbed your acupoints. You think I'm a little Karami.

His attempt this time was in vain as he failed to find out Shen Qingzhou's depth. Of course, that was also because he had no intention of offending Shen Qingzhou, otherwise, he would have just fought directly.

Shen Qingzhou raised his head and took a sip of wine. The taste was very light, but it completely released the medicinal power in the glass of wine he had just drunk. This was definitely the antidote.

The reason why Shen Qingzhou did not dodge was that he felt it was unnecessary. Jin Jiuling's move looked dangerous, but the force was not enough and it was just a test.

He was in no mood to play with him, so he just bumped into him. In fact, the other party thought he was hit, but it was actually the layer of energy that wrapped around him from the outside.

"Brother Shen, you and Lu Xiaofeng really act in a similar way. He just stole my wine, and now you do it again." Jin Jiuling said with a wry smile.

"Haha, Brother Jin knows how to enjoy himself. Of course I'm curious about the fine wine he drinks, huh." Shen Qingzhou laughed, and then he stepped into the air.

"Brother Shen." Jin Jiuling was curious about what happened, and suddenly heard something. Looking at Shen Qingzhou in front of him, he no longer looked down on him.

He actually discovered the problem later than Shen Qingzhou, but he did not give up. In the eyes of others, he was a master who was proficient in identifying and hitting acupuncture points, and his weapons were the Judge's Pen and the Black Iron Folding Fan.

But he knew himself, and he was quite good at hiding himself. Apart from his skill in using hidden weapons, he was especially good at using embroidery needles. What's more, he had a fortuitous encounter recently and obtained a copy of "Song of the Yi River", which helped his swordsmanship improve by leaps and bounds.

Shen Qingzhou was not aware of Jin Jiuling's wild thoughts. It was just one move. In terms of martial arts alone, he was not even worth Shen Qingzhou's attention.

When we arrived at a courtyard, we saw Hua Manlou holding a sword and chasing a man in a black robe. The most special thing was that the man was wearing iron shoes. Under the black robe, you could occasionally see a grey mask flash across his face, which was quite creepy.

The man in black robe jumped onto the roof, then entered the room, and finally broke out through the window. When he reached the middle of the yard, he suddenly stopped. At this moment, Hua Manlou's sword was about to pierce his back.

"Lu Xiaofeng, are you kidding?" However, Hua Manlou's ears twitched, his face became serious, he sheathed his sword, walked forward and touched the black-robed man's shoulder, then threw the sword away angrily. It was the first time that Shen Qingzhou saw the gentle Hua Manlou get angry.

At this moment, seven or eight people had already arrived at the middle of the yard. Everyone looked puzzled as to why Lu Xiaofeng did not fall down but was exposed instead.

"If this is a joke, it's too much." Lu Xiaofeng turned around, threw away the mask, and then tore it hard. The Hua family's heirloom armor wrapped in snow silk was torn directly by him. This scene shocked Hua Ruling's heart.

This was something he personally handed over to Lu Xiaofeng. The snow-silk armor was made of Tianshan ice cicada silk and pure steel from the Western Regions. It was a protective armor, so how could it be torn so easily?

It was almost there, just almost there. If Hua Manlou hadn't acted decisively, Lu Xiaofeng would have been killed by Hua Manlou.

Lu Xiaofeng's questioning let the group of people know that something big had happened. They hurried into the house and saw that the hero Wu in the room had fallen down forever.

This was the plan of Hua Ruling and everyone. They created a fake Iron Shoe Thief and asked this group of friends to help pretend to fight. Otherwise, it would be too fake for Hua Manlou to discover it alone. But now, it is obvious that something big has happened.

"Lou'er, I don't want to see you unhappy for the rest of your life. In order to relieve your worries, I can only think of this solution." Hua Ruling's heart was filled with sadness, both for Hua Manlou and for this hero Wu.

Shen Qingzhou looked at this scene and felt that the world was treacherous. This hero Wu helped others but ended up losing his own life. Speaking of which, who was the murderer? Although he had seen it before, all he could remember was that Dr. Song was the assassin. However, there was also an insider, not a monk or a Taoist priest, but Yuan Fei and Guan Tai. He couldn't remember clearly.

"Dad, it turns out that everything was arranged by you."

"Yes, it was a plan we arranged, but who would have thought it would turn out like this." Doctor Song is quite good at pretending.

Jin Jiuling also found a piece of paper on Wu Daxia's body. There was a bloody footprint on it and the word "kill" in the middle.

Hua Ruling and a few others were also shocked and couldn't believe it. This was clearly the symbol of Tiexie. Master Kuzhi also said that he suspected Tiexie was not dead, and the one who died before was a substitute.

In fact, we are all smart people, but there is too much information at once, and the reappearance of the dying people makes everyone panic.

"It's all my fault that Brother Wu was harmed." Hua Ruling was also full of guilt towards Brother Wu.

"Master Hua, there's no need to be too sad. Now, we can only catch the murderer as soon as possible and avenge Master Wu." Jin Jiuling said.

He is the chief of police, and one of the most famous ones in the Ming Dynasty. Compared with him, Tie Wuqing and others are nothing. Although Guo Juxia's disciples are strong in martial arts, they are not as good as Jin Jiuling, especially when it comes to solving cases.

Therefore, he easily gained trust, after all, he was a government official.

Suddenly, everyone realized something was wrong. Hawkeye Laoqi was the first to go out and saw Emile's group of Hanhai people.

"Dear guest, there is nothing to do here. Please go back to your room and rest." Hua Manlou said. The people from Hanhai Country were also persuaded to leave. The fight that just happened here did disturb quite a few people.

"Lu Xiaofeng, when I came in as planned, Hero Wu had already fallen here. Lu Xiaofeng, tell me what happened?" Guan Tai asked after returning to the room.

"You ask me, I don't know as much as you do." Lu Xiaofeng's heart moved.

"Master Guan, even if the murderer is not inside Taohua Castle, he must have spies there. Don't panic." Jin Jiuling said.

"Master Hua, I think we should temporarily seal this room until we find out the truth, and everyone should take turns to guard it, otherwise some important clues will be lost." Lu Xiaofeng suggested.

"Okay, I'll be the first to take the first shift." Shangqingguan Shique said.

"Let's do it this way, everyone, please." Hua Ruling also agreed.

"No, are we just going to let Brother Wu lie dead here without any restraint?" Guan Tai said firmly.

After hearing his words, several smart people had already guessed it in their hearts. When they first started questioning, it could be said that they were confused because of their deep friendship, but now his behavior is clearly to destroy the scene.

However, when catching a thief, one has to find the stolen goods. Lu Xiaofeng originally wanted to find out the traitor when he made this suggestion. Without the traitor, it would be impossible to do anything in the current situation. Besides, even if they were the people present, no one else could change the soft armor.

Shen Qingzhou did not speak. This case was actually not difficult. It was just because the incident involved himself and developed too quickly, with his best friend dying suddenly, that the parties involved were unable to react for a while.

If Hua Ruling is given some time, he will be able to find out everything. The Jiangnan Hua family is not someone to be trifled with. This time, it is also an internal traitor. If it is an external enemy, it would be impossible for them to enter Taohua Castle so easily.
