Chapter 399: Justice Piercing the Chest

In the highest room of the City Lord's Mansion, Qi Xiaofeng stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Through the continuous rainstorm outside, his sight stayed in the direction of the black flames that rose from time to time.

His son is fighting a bloody battle, but as a father, he must stay at home and be stable.

It's ruthless and important.

Remove all obstacles and put protecting the family first. Only leaders who are willing to make such sacrifices can ensure the longevity of the family.

One of the reasons why Qi Xiaofeng was able to succeed as the head of the Qi family was that he loved his son eagerly but did not get ahead of himself.

Boom, boom, boom!

Looking back, Qi Xiaofeng said in a deep voice: "Come in."

The butler, who was still loyal and dedicated after being kicked, opened the door, walked into the room and bowed slightly to Qi Xiaofeng who was standing in front of the window.

"Master, we have a visitor."

Even though the fierce battle outside was raging, the castle belonging to the Qi family still looked calm. The loyal butler made his rounds, and the lower-ranking valets and maids were on standby in the servants' quarters.

Even the chefs who could get off work at that time all stayed in the kitchen, ready to fire at any time and serve a sumptuous supper to the masters who would surely return victoriously.

fail? It doesn't exist in Qijia.

Qi Xiaofeng turned around and could see that he was a little surprised: "Guest?"

With Qi Xiaofeng's character, logically speaking, he shouldn't lose his composure. But what the butler said was so unbelievable that it was completely impossible to happen.

After all, the Qi family is now in a state of turmoil and is fighting against the entire coastal city as a family.

According to the aristocrat's urine, if he doesn't add insult to injury, is it possible that he will provide help in times of need?

If you don't believe me, ask Qi Xiaofeng. If this happened to another noble, see if he would go and tear off a piece of flesh from that noble.

Surprised, Qi Xiaofeng still ordered: "Bring them here."

Adding insult to injury is still a timely help, let's see the truth behind the scenes.

Qi Xiaofeng thought that the matter was settled like this, but he found that the housekeeper did not turn around and leave as usual.

The butler hesitated for half a second, continued to bow, took a step forward, and spoke in a low voice: "Master, they..."

Before the butler could finish his words, a big hand suddenly came out from behind him, grabbed his collar and threw him back.

"Oh, it's a foul."

"ah!"

The old housekeeper exclaimed, his back hit the wall hard, and he curled up on the ground, groaning in pain.

In one-third of an acre in the seaside city, the old housekeeper has been respected by others for most of his life. Regardless of whether it comes from the heart or not, with the strength of the veteran soul master and the support of the Qi family, no one except the head of the family dares to touch him.

It's a pity that the opponent that the local snake Qi family will face today is the fierce dragon crossing the river who is prepared to do whatever it takes.

"It's really boring. I'm planning on pretending to be a trash noble who comes to see me for fun."

Gu You walked into the room shaking his head and stretched out his hand to say hello to the stunned Qi Xiaofeng.

"Hey, have you eaten yet?"

Qi Xiaofeng: "?"

Without waiting for Qi Xiaofeng to react, Gu You sat on the sofa and directly turned his back on the guests: "I haven't eaten. Please hurry up and have someone come over for supper on the hour."

Qi Xiaofeng: "???"

Thanks to the fact that the cooks didn't get off work, it only took fifteen minutes for Gu You to finally take his first bite of hot food today.

Happiness comes from comparison. Compared with my companions who could only eat sausages along the way, now I am eating a seafood dinner while traveling in ancient times. The happiness in my heart is simply unparalleled.

Turning his gratitude into action, he spent five minutes clearing the dishes. Gu You covered his swollen belly and praised: "It tastes good. You have great taste."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Sitting on the other side of the table, Qi Xiaofeng lowered his head slightly, taking the initiative to give in, acknowledging that Gu You's status was higher.

Just now, while Gu You was waiting for the food to be served, he casually found an excuse to leave the room briefly to exchange information with the old housekeeper.

It was during this exchange that he once again confirmed that the identity of the nobles who traveled to Tiandou City in ancient times could not be false.

After all, there won't be one ordinary person in ten thousand years who has the courage to use tricks to embarrass the imperial nobles.

I thought it was some rubbish nobleman, but when I turned around I found that it was the prince's messenger. Just thinking about it, Qi Xiaofeng didn't know what kind of expression he should show.

Seeing that Gu You had eaten and drank enough, he couldn't help but ask: "My lord envoy, what are your orders?"

Exactly seven days had passed since Gu You's departure, and he thought that His Highness the Prince's envoy had finished his soul hunting and returned to Tiandou City. I never expected that he would still be in the city, and luckily, he would bump into the Qi family when they were at their most disgraced.

To be honest, Qi Xiaofeng was very embarrassed, and it might be difficult for His Highness to explain.

"Instructions are out of the question." Gu You shook his head: "I was just passing by to take a look."

Completely relaxing his body and sinking into the soft sofa, Gu You said seemingly casually: "It seems that your Qi family has encountered a little trouble."

‘Sure enough, it came. ’

Qi Xiaofeng's heart sank, and he responded quickly: "Mr. Messenger, you have misunderstood."

"Don't be nervous, come on, relax and take a deep breath."

Unlike Qi Xiaofeng's expected anger and questioning, Gu You behaved like a second-generation ancestor who was out for fun, and even guided him to breathe and relax with interest.

There was a sense of shame like playing a monkey, but Qi Xiaofeng did not dare to turn his face. He pretended to take a few deep breaths and asked carefully: "What do you mean, sir?"

Rubbing his thumb and index finger together, Gu said: "Money, I only care about money."

"The so-called battle is just the loser's last struggle. I'm not interested in that."

'I see. ’

A flash of understanding flashed in Qi Xiaofeng's eyes, and he instantly understood what Gu You meant.

For nobles, human life is not important at all, what is important is the value behind human life.

That is, the golden soul coins that shine brightly in taxes.

"Please rest assured." Qi Xiaofeng said seriously: "When the rebellion is eliminated, I will use my own money to restore the normal functions of the coastal city as quickly as possible."

"Next year's "filial piety" will be delivered on time."

"That's good." Gu You jumped up from the sofa: "There is no need to pay out of your own pocket. The losses caused by the mob will naturally be paid by the national treasury."

"How about four or six?"

Qi Xiaofeng looked upright: "Your Majesty, you are so polite, so you have to work harder."

"Then let's take Sanqi."

Slowly walking to the window, Gu You looked at the flames and water that collided from time to time in the distance, and asked casually: "Your son?"

Qi Xiaofeng followed suit and stood beside Gu You and replied: "Yes, it's Quan Zi."

After pretending to appreciate it, Gu said: "It seems pretty good."

"Do you have any plans for his future?"

It was as if a golden avenue descended from the sky and hit Qi Tao right in the head. Qi Xiaofeng quickly lowered his head: "It's all up to you, sir."

Gu You touched his chin and said with a hint: "Then let him follow me. He will be useful wherever he is."

"As for you."

Gu You walked up to Qi Xiaofeng and patted his shoulder gently.

"I hope you can hold on a little longer."

"Persistence? What persistence?"

Before Qi Xiaofeng could figure it out, a "puff" sound came from his ears, and a thick hand sank directly into his chest, holding his heart and coming out from behind.

"cough--"

A large mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth, and his chest was bleeding profusely.

Even if he is an extremely tyrannical Soul Saint, he can completely level the seaside city by firing his martial soul avatar. When someone's heart is being held tightly, there is no way to counter it.

No matter how strong the soul power is, it cannot replace the role of oxygen.

"Be careful, don't move around, it will be bad if you accidentally crush it."

Qi Xiaofeng did not dare to resist Ruo Ruowu's threats. Feeling that his limbs were getting colder after losing blood flow, he raised his head with difficulty and said in disbelief: "Sir?"

"We... did not betray the Empire."

"I know." Gu You shrugged his shoulders, and Qi Xiaofeng spat out a mouthful of blood: "But you betrayed the people."

"Try to survive the torture that is worse than death."

"You're right, old poisoner."

After the words fell, Dugu Bo opened the closed door and walked into the house. The old housekeeper who was responsible for guarding the door was frothing at the mouth and fell to the ground.

Looking around, Dugu Bo saw the loss of blood and lack of oxygen. Qi Xiaofeng could only hang on with half a breath, and waved his hands in disgust: "Go away, don't kill people."

"have to."

Pulling his arm out of Qi Xiaofeng's chest, Gu You looked down at the new clothes that he had just changed into and were mostly stained red with blood, and walked out of the room helplessly.

"I'm going to take a shower first. In addition to confirming the information about the fallen, remember to ask about the location of the Qi family's treasure house."

"knew."

After receiving Dugu Bo's answer, Gu You waved back and then closed the door forcefully.

Boom!

Qi Xiaofeng, who fell to the ground, suddenly opened his eyes.

Without external pressure, the weak heart regains its function. Qi Xiaofeng jumped up and punched the old man who seemed to be helpless.

Then he lay face down on the ground.

"idiot."

Isn't it good to pretend to be dead? You have to commit suicide.

The nine soul rings were floating quietly in the air. Dugu Bo was speechless and gently touched Qi Xiaofeng's back with his fingertips flashing with crystal green light.

"Who are you? Why do you do this to me?!"

The strong soul power suppressed Qi Xiaofeng and he could not move. He knew that he had no chance, which made him even more unwilling.

The prince's envoy was given the title Douluo, two high-ranking figures, why would they deliberately target him, a little soul saint?

Out of the last trace of "pity" for the struggling Qi Xiaofeng, Dugu Bo said calmly: "Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo."

"As for why I did this to you."

Dugu Bo paused: "Simply because he doesn't like you."

"Very, unpleasant."

"Is that why?"

Facing the unbeatable Titled Douluo, Qi Xiaofeng, who was on the verge of death, roared: "Aren't Gu You and I both nobles?"

"We are both nobles, why do we want to hurt each other?"

Seeing that Qi Xiaofeng hadn't seen through the truth yet, Dugu Bo was also drunk.

"Who told you he was a noble?"

"yes"

Qi Xiaofeng was stunned, yes, Gu You introduced himself as the captain of the Imperial Fighting Team, and took out the token symbolizing Xue Qinghe's identity.

All the details of his movements and micro-expressions seemed to imply that he was a Tiandou City noble who didn't care about etiquette.

But in fact, he never even mentioned "he is a noble".

Qi Xiaofeng was completely dumbfounded and had been fussing for a long time, believing that the Qi family was wishful thinking and treated Gu You as a noble.

Dugubo said: "Understood, idiot, he is a civilian."

"I call you an idiot, but you really are an idiot."

Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife. The nobleman who thought he was a smart man was tricked by a civilian soul master, and Qi Xiaofeng was so angry that he vomited a large mouthful of blood.

"Money, by the way, I have a lot of money!"

Recalling Gu You's words and deeds, Qi Xiaofeng seemed to have grasped the last straw.

"Let me go, I'll buy my life with all my money!"

"Look at you, here you go again."

Dugu Bo shook his head.

"Haven't you noticed yet? Gu You has no killing intent towards you."

Soul Saint has rich combat experience. Even if he doesn't notice most attacks at the time, he can often rely on his body's instinctive reaction to "battle intent" and "murderous aura" to make evasive movements.

Looking directly at the speechless Qi Xiaofeng, Dugu Bo slowly spoke: "In his eyes, you are not his enemy, but just a weed that must be pulled out of the farmland."

"No one will show killing intent to weeds that must be cleaned up."

Walking in the empty corridor, Gu You whistled, completely unaware that Tang San's reputation was being harmed.

"How can you say Qi Xiaofeng is a weed? You old poisonous creature look down on Xiao San, right?"

If Gu You knew, he would definitely refute like this.

It's a pity that he didn't know, so he could find the bathroom in the castle without worries.

On the other side, unlike the mastermind who still has time to eat and take a shower, the hero who is determined to bear the darkness is facing the biggest crisis in history.

It seems that he can't beat the opponent.

As the saying goes, "Blackening is ten times stronger, and whitening is three points weaker." When the opponent is blackened with you, the gap in strength will only get bigger and bigger.

If it weren't for the ability to fly, and the fact that the quality of the evil fire phoenix is ​​slightly higher than that of the great jaw shark, the novice fallen Ma Hongjun would probably be beaten by the senior fallen Qi Tao and go back to Tiandou City to find Flanders after one round.

"Come, eat sausage."

"Here, delicious big sausage."

"Open your mouth and eat the sausage."

While Ma Hongjun was desperately distracting Qi Tao's attention, Oscar, wearing a chef's hat, shuttled around and sent two sausages to the injured as soon as he saw them.

The recovery sausages restore physical strength and soul power, and the strong starch sausages increase physical strength. Soon, all the lightly injured sailors recovered their health with sausages, and the conditions of the seriously injured sailors also improved.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a look of great prestige approached Oscar. He put his arm around his shoulders in a very sailor-like manner and said kindly, "Thank you, brother."

Not used to and disliked contact with men, Oscar forced a smile: "Haha, you're welcome."

Looking at the mask on Oscar's face, the middle-aged man asked, "Brother, what should I call you?"

"Just call me the rebellious cook."

Oscar smiled awkwardly and pointed at Ma Hongjun flying in the sky: "He is also his companion."

"His companion?"

The middle-aged man was shocked and said in a low voice: "He is the legendary Fallen One, you won't be deceived by him, right?"

The precious food-type soul master must not be led astray by the Fallen One. While the Fallen One is fighting each other, we should quickly transfer him to a safe place.

After a moment of silence, Oscar under the mask said seriously: "No, not a companion."

"It's a brother."
