Chapter 200: Pick up the Sword on the Way, the Wine Has Not yet Been Opened

The Ye family is the top family in the area, and everyone knows where their mansion is. Meng Qi found the door with almost no effort.

It is backed by the river that runs through the city, with continuous houses, shaded by green trees, and quiet birdsong. Compared with the noisy streets of the morning market, it is almost like the suburbs, a good place to find peace in the bustle.

There are nearly ten servants guarding the door of the Ye mansion, some of them are big and strong, and some are full of energy. The two leading ones are both masters of four orifices, showing the family's background.

Meng Qi walked around the wall and found that the defense of the Ye family on the periphery was not as good as the palace and the prince's mansion where he had just experienced the mission. After all, the head of the family and important figures are masters of eight or nine orifices, and they can deal with most of the surprise attacks by themselves. Therefore, they only need to arrange guards near them, arrange strict defenses in important courtyards, follow masters around the masters, and conduct daily patrols in the mansion. There is no need to have masters guard every few steps on the outer wall.

——The number of their enlightened masters could not reach such a luxurious level. The palace and the prince's mansion had concentrated most of the world's manpower and material resources.

Going around to a hidden place covered by green trees, Meng Qi listened attentively, pushed his left hand over the wall, and landed behind a rockery.

Not long after, a team of servants came to patrol. Because it was not long after dawn, they were scattered. Meng Qi did not even use the "Immortal Seal Method" and watched them go away.

"Phantom Demon Body Method" unfolded, Meng Qi turned into a series of afterimages and ran towards the nearby yard.

In the yard, a servant was doing morning exercises, his skin was like bronze, and sweat was flowing. Suddenly, his eyes blurred, and he felt a figure in a green shirt appeared in front of him, like a ghost in the daytime. Before he could see the other person's appearance clearly and shout for help, he was hit by Rongxue's acupuncture hand and fell on his back.

Meng Qi's spirit was outward, and his hand and body seals were coordinated at the same time, and his eyes made contact with the servant.

The servant only saw a pair of dark and deep eyes. At first glance, it looked like a lake, calm and without waves. Upon closer inspection, it was full of whirlpools, sucking people's body and mind in. The person in front of him became taller and taller, bigger and bigger, terrifying and majestic, like a god or demon.

Meng Qi used his mute point as an excuse to ask calmly: "Which courtyard is Li Sui, the 'ghost sword'? How to get there?"

The servant was unable to circulate his internal energy to fight against it, and said in a daze: "In Lanxiang Courtyard, surrounded by guests... Cross the bridge opposite, turn right to the third courtyard..."

He said in detail, including that Li Sui was a master of seven orifices, and the nearby guests were basically above six orifices. Once discovered, they would fall into a situation of being besieged.

Meng Qi had no intention of killing innocent people. After asking for the route, he directly pressed the servant's sleep point and threw him back to his own wing. His green shirt fluttered, he walked with his hands behind his back and went to Lanxiang Courtyard.

Along the way, after practicing the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills and the Immortal Seal, Meng Qi's senses became more acute and his spirit became stronger. He could always detect the patrol team first and avoid it in advance. Although he was running fast, he felt like strolling in his home. In addition, his magic skills were unique. If someone saw him, they would only think that they were dazzled and saw an illusion.

It didn't take long for Meng Qi to see the plaque of "Lanxiang Courtyard". Just as he was about to flash in, a courtyard next to him creaked open and a white-haired old man stepped out.

At least the master of the Seven Apertures could restrain his breath and hide his voice at any time and place... Meng Qi took a step forward, his figure was like a demon, shrinking the ground into an inch, and the long sword with sheath pointed at the white-haired old man.

The white-haired old man had not expected to be attacked. He only saw a green shadow and found that he appeared in front of him. The light golden scabbard reflected the golden light under the morning sun. The light and shadow changed, which was eye-catching. With the continuous changes of the long sword, there were illusions at all times and everywhere, which made people unable to understand and grasp. They had no idea how to deal with it, because if they could not grasp every illusion and every change, they would suffer defeat.

He had no mind to call for help. He was fully focused on dealing with this sword. Cold sweat oozed from his forehead. He retreated repeatedly until he leaned against the door panel. Then he slapped his palms and changed with the changes of the long sword. It was really difficult.

Suddenly, the sword shadow was retracted, and the long sword returned to its ancient simplicity. It did not change or pierce the palm of the white-haired old man without any fancy moves.

The old man could not stop in time, so he had to spit out his palm force and hit the tip of the sword.

His face changed, and he felt that the tip of the sword was empty, empty and powerless. After the palm force surged out, it was like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, without a trace.

He staggered forward, and suddenly the sword tip surged with great force, like a wave hitting the shore, and the internal force felt very familiar!

At this time, when he was sending out his palm force and the new force had not yet risen, the sword tip's true energy rushed into his body, quickly closing all the major acupoints, and he fell down with a plop.

Meng Qi did not hide it, and seized the time, turned around and jumped into the Lanxiang Courtyard, and went straight to the left wing. The only place in the whole courtyard where the breathing sound was long, it must be a master.

The maid was walking in the courtyard with a copper basin, and suddenly found a green shadow flashing, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

Even in the daytime, she also felt a chill, and her scalp was numb. Was it a ghost?

—— If it wasn't for the action in the courtyard, it would alarm Li Sui and give him a chance to escape. Meng Qi would definitely press her acupoints.

Bang!

The door was kicked open, and she looked at it intently, and found that a green shadow flashed and entered Master Li Sui's room.

Li Sui was sitting cross-legged in meditation, moving the Qi of the Heavenly Qi, with a very narrow and thin long sword on his knees. When he heard the door being knocked open, he grasped the hilt of the sword and was about to jump up.

At this moment, a long sword emitting cold air pierced his head five inches away. It seemed to have inexplicably deviated from the target and attacked the empty space. However, Li Sui was shocked because after he jumped up, he would "bump" his eyebrows into the tip of the sword, which was tantamount to suicide.

He quickly used a heavy weight to suppress his leaping momentum, and swung his long sword horizontally, intending to force the enemy back.

The sword light was crisscrossed, dimly visible, but the real sword was hidden in the dark, no longer a ghost.

Meng Qi's sword tip suddenly bent downward, "driving" the whole person to fly into the air, head down, feet up, avoiding the horizontal slash, and stabbing Li Sui's Baihui.

His posture was weird, like an evil demon.

Oops, I fell into a trap! Li Sui had just used a heavy weight to suppress himself. Facing the sword above his head, he was already unable to change, so he had to grit his teeth and use his strength, leaning forward with the help of the swung sword, and rushing forward.

At this moment, Meng Qi's long sword slipped out of his hand directly, and the speed increased. With a puff, it pierced through the back of Li Sui's head and nailed him to the ground.

The figure turned back and landed gracefully. Meng Qi drew up his long sword, picked up Li Sui's sword with his toes, and ran out of the door.

The two fought for only a short breath, and the maid had no time to react. She watched Master Li Sui die before she woke up from a dream:

"There is an assassin!"

The sharp sound alarmed the guests in the nearby courtyards. Some of them left their houses, while others stopped practicing, and listened carefully to identify the direction of the sound.

Meng Qi passed the maid and ran out of the courtyard without looking back. His green robe fluttered, and his magic skills were fully activated. He was like a ghost or a demon, and he flashed past the patrolling servants and returned to the rockery where he came in.

It was not until this time that the guests arrived at the Lanxiang Courtyard where Li Sui lived. They only saw a panicked maid and Li Sui fell in the room, with blood mixed with white slowly spreading out.

Apart from that, nothing in the room was damaged.

"Where is the assassin?" Someone checked the body and someone asked anxiously.

The maid was so scared that she was out of her mind. She said tremblingly: "He killed Master Li and left."

"When did he kill him?" A guest asked.

"I saw him kick the door open and shout when he killed Master Li..." The maid answered the question irrelevantly.

The guests were startled. They rushed over when they heard the maid shouting. In just a few breaths, the assassin killed "Ghost Sword" Li Sui? He was a master of seven orifices with excellent swordsmanship who had just completed the inner world!

"Chase!"

"Go and report to the master!"

The guests were divided into two groups, and the people chasing Meng Qi found out that they didn't know which direction to chase after after they left the courtyard!

They hurriedly asked the nearby servants, but none of them saw the figure in green.

Meng Qi jumped out of the outer wall and flashed into the nearby street. He put Li Sui's sword into the package where Xie Jie was, inserted the ice que, and walked towards Wufeng Tower leisurely. There were more and more pedestrians on the street, and the morning market was bustling.

After he took a few steps, the Ye Mansion was filled with exclamations, shouts, and running sounds, which seemed chaotic.

Hehe, Meng Qi smiled, walked slowly and turned into the street leading to Wufeng Tower.

By the time the Ye family had assigned their personnel and chased out of the mansion, they could no longer see Meng Qi's back. There were many scholars in green shirts and swords on the street.

Carrying braised beef and pork head, Meng Qi quickly returned to the nearby Huanhua Rice Shop, while the people of the Ye family had not yet searched here and were still checking the Qingshan swordsmen near the Ye Mansion.

"Here, I'll give you a pack." Meng Qi greeted with a smile and threw a pack of specially separated meat to the shopkeeper and the waiter.

The shopkeeper and the waiter hurriedly thanked him, thinking that the cousin of Qi Zhushi was much more generous than his cousin.

Entering the yard and opening the door, Meng Qi saw Qi Zhengyan wiping the dust on the wine jar, which was obviously aged for many years.

He opened the red paper that sealed it, and a fragrance of osmanthus and wine mixed together, which made Meng Qi couldn't help but breathe a few more times.

"Come back so soon?" Qi Zhengyan asked casually. He felt that Meng Qi was unfamiliar with the place and it would take some time to find the way.

Meng Qi put down the pork head and braised beef with a smile, sat down with a swagger, poured himself a bowl of osmanthus wine, drank it in one gulp, then picked up a piece of pork head and braised beef and put it in his mouth to chew. One was fat but not greasy, and the other was chewy. They were indeed delicious.

"Good wine! Good meat!" He praised, unwrapped, took out Li Sui's sword, put it on the table, and smiled at Qi Zhengyan, "I went to get a sword on the way."

Qi Zhengyan took a closer look at the sword on the table, his eyes suddenly froze, and his pupils contracted.
