Zongwu: Starting with Huashan Sect, Zhou Zhiruo breaks off the engagement

Chapter 140 Trouble is coming

"This plot seems familiar!"

Qin Fan thought to himself and looked at Lu Xiaofeng silently.

This guy has always been a disaster. Wherever he goes, trouble happens.

This time he was invited to Prince Mu's Mansion to investigate the kidnapping of Mu Jianping. Putting all these circumstances together, Qin Fan had almost guessed the problem.

"Who invited Brother Lu? Prince Mu?"

Qin Fan continued to ask.

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head upon hearing this, "No, I just have some friendship with Monk Kugua, so he invited me here!"

The bitter melon monk that Lu Xiaofeng mentioned is Master Kujie. He was originally a Shaolin monk, but later broke the precepts and was expelled from the sect. From then on, he traveled around the world and became an ascetic monk.

He strictly abided by the precepts throughout his life, so he was named Kujie.

Kujie is well-known in the martial arts world. His powerful Vajra Palm is one of the 72 unique Shaolin skills and is extremely powerful.

Just hearing this name, Qin Fan became more certain of his guess.

"Brother Lu, I wonder if Prince Mu has other children?"

"Of course there are. Young Prince Mu Jianqiu is well-known for his virtue and respect for others. He is also quite prestigious in Liaodong!"

"Mu Jianqiu?" Qin Fan muttered the name silently, and something seemed wrong.

If the facts are as he thinks, this person may have other aliases.

After thinking for a while, everyone arrived at the hall.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a handsome young man coming up.

The man had a handsome appearance, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He was tall and graceful, and walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. He had a hint of scholarly air, but was also full of chivalrous spirit.

"Little sister, I'm so glad you're okay!"

Mu Jianqiu walked forward and looked at Mu Jianping with a worried look on his face. His eyes were full of love, as if he was more worried than King Mu.

"I was so worried these days when you were away! Fortunately you are back!"

As Mu Jianqiu spoke, his eyes fell on Qin Fan. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and bowed.

"Is this Brother Qin who was praised so much by Chief Leader Chen? I have heard of your name for a long time. My name is Mu Jianqiu!"

Qin Fan bowed in return, but his eyes became alert.

Mu Jianqiu's cultivation level is much higher than he imagined.

However, this guy seemed to have learned some secret technique and concealed his cultivation. Now he looks like just a master.

Such behavior naturally aroused Qin Fan's suspicion.

"Okay, Qiu'er, tell someone to prepare a banquet to welcome Brother Qin and calm Ping'er down!"

King Mu began to give orders, and Mu Jianqiu hurriedly bowed and agreed.

"I'll do it right away, kid!"

After saying that, Mu Jianqiu nodded slightly at Qin Fan and others, then turned and left.

"How is it? This little prince has a good personality, right?"

Lu Xiaofeng patted Qin Fan on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Everyone who has met the young prince praises him for being approachable and kind. If he were not in the palace, he would definitely be a hero!"

"Master Lu, you are praising me. This reputation was given to me by people in the martial arts world. Qiu'er can never afford it!"

King Mu's face was full of pride, but he was humble in his words, and he led everyone to the backyard.

In the distance, an old monk in a cassock was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Even though he heard the voices of the crowd, he did not show any expression.

"Hey, Kugua, stop pretending. What's the point of chanting sutras for a monk like you who has broken his precepts? Come over here and drink with Brother Qin!" Lu Xiaofeng walked up and slapped Master Kujie on the forehead, causing him to glare at him angrily.

However, when he heard the name Qin Fan, Kujie suddenly raised his head.

"Is he the Qin Fan from the Huashan Sect that Chief Leader Chen mentioned?"

"That's right!"

"Oh, then go and have a drink with him!" Upon hearing this, Master Kujie stood up. Although his face was still as bitter as a bitter gourd, his tone was obviously much softer.

"Brother Qin's actions in Liaodong are very pleasing to the people. We should drink a toast to him!"

Seeing Master Kujie change so quickly, Qin Fan was a little confused.

I just destroyed the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty. Do these people really make it seem like I killed Kangxi?

As if he saw Qin Fan's confusion, or perhaps it was Lu Xiaofeng's own bad taste, he approached Qin Fan with a lewd look on his face and laughed.

"Brother Qin, do you know what precepts this old monk broke back then?"

Upon hearing this, Master Kujie immediately shouted angrily.

"Lu Xiaofeng, stop talking!"

But Lu Xiaofeng ignored him and continued.

"He committed adultery. Do you know who made him commit adultery?"

Lu Xiaofeng blinked at Qin Fan and continued.

"It's Master Jiunan! So, do you know why his attitude suddenly changed when he heard your name? You and Master Jiunan legitimately destroyed the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty, but this guy is so enthusiastic about you because of his sweetheart!"

When Master Kujie saw that his thoughts were exposed, he immediately became angry.

"Lu Xiaofeng, I'm going to beat you to death!"

As he said that, he leaped forward, but Lu Xiaofeng's Qinggong was known to be the best in the world. Even though Master Kujie was very powerful, when it came to escaping, Lu Xiaofeng was not afraid of anyone.

When King Mu saw the two of them fighting, he just shook his head helplessly. He was used to it now.

The Mu Palace has lived in the border area for a long time and often deals with people from the underworld.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has not sent troops here, the Mu Palace is able to garrison here thanks to these chivalrous men in the martial arts world. Therefore, Prince Mu has always treated them as brothers.

It is also because of this that more people in the martial arts world are willing to help their Mu Palace.

Master Kujie had also heard of Prince Mu's reputation, so he stayed in Prince Mu's mansion and served as his bodyguard.

Several people came to the inner hall and sat down to chat.

Only then did King Mu ask about Mu Jianping.

"How did Brother Qin meet my Ping'er? These days I have been looking for the whereabouts of the thief who kidnapped my Ping'er, but I have no clues!"

"If I find out who those people are, I will make them pay the price!"

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaofeng and the others were also filled with indignation.

"Prince Mu is stationed in Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty. If these thieves dare to kidnap the little princess, we will not agree to it!"

"Brother Qin should have fought with those people before. Do you know their identities?"

Qin Fan naturally knew what was going on. Su Quan had said at the beginning that the reason they were able to kidnap Mu Jianping was because someone in the Mu Palace leaked the information.

Now seeing Lu Xiaofeng and others, Qin Fan could almost confirm that the person who leaked the information was Mu Jianqiu.

However, he has no evidence now. Even if he lets Su Quan confront him, if Mu Jianqiu refuses to admit it, King Mu will be in trouble.

Qin Fan thought about it, but still didn't say it out loud.

"I just happened to run into that group of thieves and saved the little princess by chance!"

Qin Fan winked at Mu Jianping and continued, "As for the identity of that group of people, I'm not sure yet!"
