Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 473 Gu Qing is here, no surprises

You used my sister and then dumped her?

Xu Qi'an held his breath, wanting to argue, but after thinking about the current unclear situation, he felt it was better to let Gu Qing have this idea, and said: "That's right, we can't confide in her. After we've gathered the intelligence, we'll leave immediately. It's true that we should just dump her when we're done."

Xu Qi'an didn't know whether the people in Qianlong City were friends or foes, so he simply hardened his heart.

"Oh……"

Gu Qing nodded thoughtfully.

Xu Qi'an patted Gu Qing on the shoulder.

In this regard, Xu Qi'an still believed in Gu Qing's abilities. After all, both of Da Feng's princesses were completely infatuated with Gu Qing. As a transmigrator, Xu Qi'an always felt that Gu Qing was one step ahead of him.

no way……

Xu Qi'an glanced at Gu Qing. After all, this was Qiao Ling'er, a little girl. Xu Qi'an felt like Ye Fan in the early stages, acting as a cameraman everywhere. But he believed that with his unremitting efforts and continuous attempts to curry favor with powerful figures, he would eventually have his moment to shine.

Jiang Luzhong was still leading his men toward Yunzhou.

Gu Qing and Xu Qi'an have already gone into hiding in Qianlong City.

Two days passed in a flash, and life in Qianlong City was quite peaceful. Ji Xuan helped Gu Qing and Xu Qi'an get used to life in Qianlong City and also took the two of them to see the poor people who had come here to seek refuge.

Qianlong City was the place Xu Pingfeng chose to rebel. The people there were strong and healthy, most of them making armor and weapons, and some soldiers were training. When Gu Qing and Xu Qi'an were unwilling to work, Ji Xuan wanted to arrange for them to join the soldiers.

"Brother, you've overstepped your bounds with this move."

A frivolous voice came from inside the barracks. Everyone looked over and saw a young nobleman leading a group of men out. He glanced at them indifferently and said, "Are you obsessed with the army? You dare to plant two unknown people in here?"

Ji Xuan said with a warm expression, "These two were introduced by my cousin Yuan Shuang."

"Xu Yuanshuang?"

The young nobleman sneered, "If it weren't for that woman's soft heart back then, why haven't we raised an army yet? She delayed the important affairs of the clan. Now we call her cousin only because of our uncle."

At this moment, Xu Qi'an felt a chill in his heart, and in a daze, he felt that all of this was closely related to him, and that he was now touching on the point he wanted to explore.

"She is, after all, my aunt."

Ji Xuan said calmly.

Xu Qi'an narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Xuan. He felt that Ji Xuan was very cunning. Knowing that the person in front of him was unhappy with his mother, he was still deliberately provoking him.

As expected, after saying "Auntie," the young nobleman suddenly flew into a rage, drew his sword, and shouted, "So what if I'm an auntie?" before charging towards Gu Qing and Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qi'an took a step back and hid behind Gu Qing.

The young nobleman's raised hand was at least at the fifth rank. The burst of sword energy in that instant caught Xu Qi'an off guard, but even so, Xu Qi'an showed no sign of panic.

Gu Qing is here, no surprises.

Sure enough, at this critical moment, two fingers appeared on the tip of the young master's sword, firmly clamping the blade.

Ji Xuan's eyes widened in that instant, seemingly unable to imagine that amidst such fierce swordsmanship, someone would risk everything, using their fingers to catch the blade, and doing so with such ease and composure.

If the young master's swordsmanship is unparalleled, then "Vodka's" two fingers are simply peerless.

Xu Qi'an's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Gu Qing holding the sword and immediately thought of the Spirit Rhinoceros Finger.

"First it was Little Li's Flying Dagger, now it's the Spirit Rhinoceros Finger. Is it just my imagination?"

Xu Qi'an then thought of Mr. Gu Long's works, where the techniques of martial arts moves were not specifically described. They were all ordinary martial arts skills that were developed to their extreme in the hands of great heroes. Perhaps the same was true for Gu Qing.

The young nobleman's face flushed with anger as he exerted force in his hand, but no matter whether he thrust, retracted, or swung the sword left or right, Gu Qing held it firmly between his two fingers, without moving an inch.

"Left and Right Protectors!"

The young nobleman shouted.

The right envoy beside the young master appeared and punched Gu Qing hard in the chest, while the left envoy on the other side drew his bow and aimed an arrow directly at Gu Qing.

So what if you have nimble fingers?

The young nobleman sneered, "When you're out in the game, you have to consider your power and your background!" As he spoke, the young nobleman suddenly released his long sword and picked up a long saber, slashing at Gu Qing.

In an instant, a punch, an arrow, and a knife arrived simultaneously.

Gu Qing still held the longsword in the young master's hand between two fingers. At this moment, she turned her fingers, and the longsword circled around her, landing steadily in Gu Qing's hand. At the same time, sword energy erupted around her, and five qi swords swirled around her like fan ribs, opening and closing, rotating left and right.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

In the blink of an eye, a series of clanging sounds rang out. Before Xu Qi'an could even see what was happening, he saw the Right Protector's arm broken off and kneeling to the side, the Left Protector with sword wounds on his body, and the young nobleman covered in injuries, rolling on the ground.

"The Five Spirits Return to Their Origin!"

Xu Qi'an roared inwardly. This was a prerequisite skill for using the Thousand-Fang Residual Light Sword in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4. After using it, sword energy would surround him, and he could then reflect physical damage.

Gu Qing raised his sword and slashed at the young nobleman.

"Mr. Vodka, please have mercy."

Ji Xuan hurriedly tried to stop him from behind, but Gu Qing's long sword shone like light, enveloping the young nobleman. At that moment, the young nobleman nervously closed his eyes, feeling a chill on his body, as if something was swimming around him. When the cold air dissipated, the young nobleman suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the sun was still in the middle of the sky, the long sword was stuck diagonally in the ground, and the "vodka" had retreated to its original position.

"I told you you wouldn't dare..."

Enraged, the young nobleman stood up to speak, only to see large patches of hair and clothes falling to the ground. Looking down at the long sword stuck diagonally beside him, he saw that he was completely naked, with a bald head and even no hair in his groin. In the sunlight, he looked like a plucked white sheep, with nothing to cover him.

"No!"

The young nobleman roared angrily, sword in hand, and charged at Gu Qing again.

With a flick of his wrist, Gu Qing caught the long sword that the young master had dropped and charged at him again.

"Big brother!"

This time, Ji Xuan stood between the two, extending his arms to temporarily halt their fight.

"Mr. Fu!"

Ji Xuan then asked Gu Qing to sheathe his sword.

The young nobleman beside him breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he were to fight Gu Qing head-on, he wouldn't stand a chance. But at this point, the nobleman had lost all dignity. He coldly looked at Gu Qing and Xu Qi'an and said, "I'll remember you." Then he glared at Ji Xuan and added, "And you too!"

If it weren't for Ji Xuan, he certainly wouldn't be suffering such humiliation today.

Ji Xuan bowed deeply. His original intention was to incite hatred between Qin Jiu and Vodka and Ji Qian, firstly to test their strength, and secondly to show favor to Qin Jiu and Vodka under pressure from Ji Qian, thereby winning them over. However, he did not expect Vodka to be so powerful, directly beating Ji Qian to a pulp and even shaving his hair with a sword, severely humiliating him.

This caused Ji Xuan and Ji Qian to become enemies, but Ji Xuan felt it was a good deal because he had won over a powerful figure.

"Mr. Fu."

After Ji Qian left, Ji Xuan cupped his hands in greeting to Gu Qing. Gu Qing turned her face and looked at Xu Qi'an, deciding to leave these superficial matters to Xu Qi'an.

Ji Xuan then looked at Xu Qi'an. If such a fierce "vodka" was only driving "Qin Jiu," then how fierce must Qin Jiu be?

Xu Qi'an suppressed his doubts and exchanged a few insincere words with Ji Xuan. While Ji Xuan was sending someone to fetch Xu Yuanshuang, Xu Qi'an approached Gu Qing and asked, "What's the name of your sword-clamping technique?"

"what?"

Gu Qing was taken aback for a moment, then said, "His sword was handed to me, so I just grabbed it. Does it even need a name?"

The numbers are too high; it's going to be a powerful move from the start.

Xu Qi'an nodded, feeling that the "Lingxi Finger" made sense, and then asked, "What about the sword energy? One moment there were five sword energies, the next there were ten, and they directly injured them."

"That was taught to me by the Imperial Preceptor."

Gu Qing made a casual excuse, saying, "It seems to be the swordsmanship of the Human Sect."

The swordsmanship of the Human Sect? I thought it was the swordsmanship of the Qionghua Sect!

Xu Qi'an felt relieved and sat down with Gu Qing. Before long, Xu Yuanshuang and a young man named Xu Yuanhuai arrived and took their seats after being introduced by Ji Xuan. Ji Xuan also introduced the two men to Gu Qing and Xu Qi'an.

"So you're the city lord's son."

Gu Qing was only slightly surprised, then looked at Xu Yuanshuang and Xu Yuanhuai and said, "You are the children of the city lord's sister."

Xu Yuanshuang and Xu Yuanhuai both looked somewhat uncomfortable. In this city, whenever the city lord was involved, people would take their anger out on the two of them.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Fu."

Ji Xuan tentatively asked, "You two are quite skilled. You went to assassinate Emperor Yuanjing. How did you carry out the assassination, and how did you leave?"

At first, Ji Xuan thought it was a joke when he heard that these two people were trying to assassinate the emperor, but now that he has seen Gu Qing's martial prowess, he has changed his mind.

"Can't beat it!"

Xu Qi'an said bluntly, "We didn't have a chance, and we alerted the night watchman, so we had to run away."

In the capital, there are supervisors, leaders of various sects, the head of Yunlu Academy, and the night watchmen. It's true that they can't beat them. Ji Xuan listened to Xu Qi'an talk about the night watchmen and silently memorized all of this.

"I heard there's a night watchman named Xu Qi'an who solved the tax silver case and the Sangbo case, did you know that?"

Xu Yuanshuang asked.

Ji Xuan sat silently to the side.

"Know!"

Gu Qing nodded at this moment and said, "We've met before!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qi'an was startled, but maintained his composure.

"Really?"

Xu Yuanshuang and Xu Yuanhuai were startled, then looked at Ji Xuan with gentle eyes and said, "Cousin, I would like to have a talk with Mr. Fu."

Gu Qing's strength had already been recognized by Ji Xuan, and he was considered a key figure by Ji Xuan. At this time, Ji Xuan naturally would not object. After nodding, he looked at "Mr. Qin Jiu" next to him. In their brief contact, Ji Xuan had already seen that this "Vodka" Mr. was straightforward and had outstanding strength, while this Mr. Qin Jiu was unassuming and seemed even more unfathomable.

Therefore, Ji Xuan planned to win over Qin Jiu and have Xu Yuanshuang have a good talk with "Vodka".

Xu Yuanhuai was also there, watching Xu Yuanshuang leave with Gu Qing.

"Mr. Fu."

When they reached a secluded spot downstairs, Xu Yuanshuang stopped, turned to Gu Qing, and said, "Could you tell me about Xu Qi'an's situation?"

Gu Qing looked at Xu Yuanshuang indifferently.

"It's true."

Xu Yuanshuang began, "Actually, I am Xu Qi'an's sister. We share the same parents. Over the years, he has been living away from home. People in Qianlong City want to kill him, and as his closest sister, I can't help but want to care about him. I just want to know how he is doing." She could also tell her imprisoned mother.

Gu Qing stared at Xu Yuanshuang, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Qin Jiu is Xu Qi'an."

what?
Xu Yuanshuang's eyes widened, her mind in a panic. She racked her brains but couldn't believe that Qin Jiu was Xu Qi'an. The people from Qianlong City were about to kill him, and he had already stormed into Qianlong City.

"Then you, you..."

Xu Yuanshuang looked at Gu Qing, and after a moment, said, "You are Gu Qing!"

News kept coming back from the capital, and Xu Yuanshuang often heard about Gu Qing's situation.

Gu Qing nodded.

At this moment, Xu Yuanshuang suddenly felt helpless and didn't know what to do. She just wanted to ask about Xu Qi'an's recent situation, but this suddenly presented her with a choice.

"What do you want to do?"

Xu Yuanshuang asked in a trembling voice.

Gu Qing looked at Xu Yuanshuang and said very seriously, "I want to kidnap your mother, as well as you and your brother."

Pack all these people up and take them to the capital.

This was something Xu Yuanshuang never even dared to dream of.

"impossible!"

Xu Yuanshuang refused without even thinking; they had no idea how terrifying her father was!
Who can escape her father's control?
"OK."

Gu Qing nodded to Xu Yuanshuang and said with certainty, "If I can bring Xu Qi'an in, I can also bring you all out. And since I've told you, I will definitely do it."

This is not a question of how Xu Yuanshuang chooses.

"If you don't believe me, you can take me to see your mother. I can guarantee that it won't alert the people of Qianlong City."

Gu Qing then spoke to Xu Yuanshuang.

Hearing this, which seemed to offer some room for maneuver, Xu Yuanshuang nodded. Gu Qing had laid his cards on the table for her. In reality, Xu Yuanshuang didn't have many choices. She wouldn't reveal Xu Qi'an's whereabouts, nor could she turn a blind eye to Xu Qi'an's predicament and stand by and watch him die.

This could ruin everything for Qianlong City.

Xu Yuanshuang led Gu Qing toward the place where her mother was imprisoned. As they approached the guard post, Gu Qing was clearly right next to Xu Yuanshuang, but the guards around them ignored her. After passing through multiple layers of blockade, Gu Qing and Xu Yuanshuang finally saw Ji Baiqing.

With her oval face and hair piled high, Ji Baiqing looked at Gu Qing through the beaded curtain with the same radiance a queen would show when looking at Tang Sanzang.

"lady."

Gu Qing's gaze was almost tangible as she said, "You look very unhappy."
