Chapter 206: Scrap Metal

Marriage? Meng Qi frowned slightly. This is too hasty. However, if he wanted to use Tang Mingyue for marriage, he had to be so hasty. Mr. Tang might die at any time. As the eldest granddaughter, she had to observe mourning for three years according to etiquette. Now she could be called a wedding to bring good luck.

"What is Miss Tang's wish?" Meng Qi asked, thinking of Tang Mingyue's kindness yesterday.

He had been hiding in the backyard since he came back last night. No one except Qi Zhengyan knew about it, in case the four families of Tang, Ye, Ling and Wan completely fell out, and all the treasure soldiers and masters came to kill him. However, there was no movement at dawn, so he understood that the families still did not have the courage to do so.

This is not the Western Regions, but the more prosperous, stable and orderly Dajin. Not only are there six gates watching, but the families and sects are also unwilling to let their disciples go out and be in danger.

Therefore, even if the four noble families planned to siege and kill at Huayue Tower, they would not dare to continue for too long, otherwise the Six Gates Constable would definitely come to stop them. If the Six Gates Constable was killed, a wanderer like Meng Qi would not be afraid, but ordinary noble families would have a foundation and would definitely not escape the pursuit afterwards, and their families might be destroyed.

The waiter looked at Meng Qi, who was said to have killed many people last night but was only forced back by the treasure soldiers, and his throat moved: "Of course Miss Tang Jiu is unwilling. Who in the whole city doesn't know what kind of person Mr. Ye San is? It is said that she made a fuss for a while, but because Mr. Tang was in a coma and there were no other direct relatives in the eldest house, she failed to resist successfully."

Mr. Ye San was more dissolute and licentious than Mr. Tang Er at the beginning, and he was vicious and ruthless. He had killed maids in his room more than once or twice. Who would want to marry him?

Meng Qi fell silent and said nothing more until the waiter left, and suddenly sighed.

"You want to pretend to be the second son of Tang?" Qi Zhengyan frowned slightly.

Meng Qi nodded gently: "Well, although the second son of Tang is in trouble, the assassin will definitely flee after the assassin succeeds. I only pretended to be him for three days to confuse the situation and destroy the marriage. When they send someone again, I will have taken off the mask and turned back into Meng Qi. Can they still know that it was me who pretended to be him?"

"Miss Tang Jiu has done me a favor, and the four heads of the Tang, Ye, Ling and Wan families have a grudge against me. If a man cannot take revenge for his grudges and repay his favors, how can he be at peace in this world?"

After yesterday, I escaped safely. It would be strange if the four families of Tang, Ye, Ling and Wan did not raise their vigilance and guard against me assassinating important figures of the family.

Although I can hide and rely on the special assassin's side of the "Immortal Seal", I can spend time assassinating one by one, but in this way, I may not be able to prevent the engagement. I will wait until the engagement and then kill Ye Xiaojie, the third son of the Ye family. In addition, Tang Mingyue's reminder at Huayue Tower that day will definitely spread rumors that I and Tang Mingyue are secretly in love, so I stopped the marriage.

I don't mind such rumors, but Tang Mingyue is the daughter of a noble family, and her reputation is very important. If the two really have feelings and become lovers afterwards, it will be a good story in the world, but I have no feelings for Tang Mingyue at all, and I have never thought of "committing myself to her". If I act like this, Tang Mingyue's reputation will be ruined, which is tantamount to death for a lady from a noble family like her.

Moreover, this is the Great Jin, not the Western Regions. It is impossible for him to assassinate without restraint. As long as he succeeds a few times and affects people other than those who started it, the masters of the Six Gates and the Zhoujun Wang family will definitely come to arrest him. Things are not as easy as imagined. Otherwise, the noble families without the half-step external scene suppression would have been wiped out by the evil people.

Qi Zhengyan took a breath and did not stop him. He just pointed out the difficulties: "It may not be possible to hide it from relatives just by relying on the mask? We don't know the behavior, preferences and habits of the second son of Tang, and he is a little taller than you."

"The second son of Tang has been away for many years, experienced hardships, and has achieved martial arts. It is normal for his behavior, preferences and habits to change. And he was injured in the throat at that time. I can use this as an excuse to try to speak less to avoid being exposed. As for the height..." Meng Qi suddenly smiled, and his body made a crisp sound, and he was raised an inch taller. The muscles on his face moved slightly, and at first glance he seemed to have become another person.

Qi Zhengyan opened his mouth: "This?"

"This is the magic of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art, the delicate and powerful control of the body." Meng Qi laughed, "I can also adjust my appearance to be 50% or 60% similar to the second son of Tang according to the mask."

Once I enter the Tang family, it will be much easier to do things as the second son of Tang, and sooner or later I will make up for the loss of Bingque!

Even if the Tang family doubts the truth, I am happy to argue. Anyway, I only need to stir up the water for three days, and I don’t have to pretend for a long time.

Qi Zhengyan suppressed his surprise and said in a deep voice: "You follow me out of the city first, and I will give you the information of each member of the Tang family collected by our sect. Be careful in everything afterwards."

…………

The Tang family’s mansion is located at the exit of Shangshui City. The courtyard is deep and moss is spreading, showing the vicissitudes and heritage of a century-old family.

Since Tang Wuye "assassinated" the leader of Huanhua Sword Sect and died, the rest of the Tang family disagreed to hold a funeral for him, because it was tantamount to declaring war on Huanhua Sword Sect, so only their room was crying, and the rest of the Tang Mansion remained the same, but the whole mansion seemed to be gloomy and turbulent.

Several guards at the door peeked in from time to time, occasionally looking at each other, and sighed.

"What does the second master think? Marry Miss Nine to that bastard Ye San!" A guard gritted his teeth.

Ye San's notoriety spread far and wide in the city, and even ordinary people didn't want their daughters to marry him, let alone the aristocratic families!

Another guard sighed, "The situation is stronger than people. If we don't marry, tie up the Ye family, and rely on the Wang family, we can't establish a clan in the city at all."

"Bah! If it weren't for the second master, the fifth master, and the seventh master who were confused and gave up the strong support of the Huanhua Sword Sect, how could we fall to this point? Humph, and why did we get Miss Nine through marriage? Miss Thirteen of the Seventh Master's family is still young, and Miss Six of the Second Master's family has already reached the age of marriage!" The guard next to him cursed in a low voice, "I think the second master wants to take the opportunity to kick Miss Nine out. It's not like there were no female heads of the family in the past!"

For aristocratic families, the situation of female heads of the family is very rare. Generally, there are only two possibilities. One is that the head of the family has only one daughter, and she is talented, even more than the men in other families. With the support of the head of the family and the elders, she became the head of the family and recruited a son-in-law. The second is that this woman has strong supporters who can suppress the entire family.

Tang Mingyue does not have all the conditions, unless Mr. Tang suddenly wakes up and makes this decision with years of pressure and the elders who are only loyal to him. However, if he dies, Tang Mingyue's position as the head of the family will not be stable, but Mr. Tang Er and others are in a hurry to arrange a marriage for her, and they still choose the worst choice, which is puzzling.

The guard who spoke first shook his head and said, "It is said that the head of the Ye family personally asked Miss Jiu for Ye San to marry Miss Jiu, saying that she should control Ye San. Hey, if she could control her, what would he have done?"

Ye San is so domineering, there is no doubt that he is the head of the family.

Thinking that Miss Jiu, who is as beautiful as a flower, kind, and never puts on airs, is going to marry Ye San, who is hated by gods and ghosts, these guards are also quite depressed. They look at each other and sigh again. They have no say in this matter.

Suddenly, a slightly thin man walked over slowly, holding a long sword wrapped in a black scabbard in his left hand, with a cold momentum and sharp eyes.

"Stop, visitor." A guard hurried to meet him.

The man was Meng Qi. He had put on a mask. He looked at the guards and the plaque "Tang Mansion" hanging at the door. He said in a hoarse voice: "When did I become a guest?"

"You..." The guard looked at Meng Qi in surprise. Only then did he feel that he was somewhat similar to Mr. Tang.

A guard who had been in Tang Mansion for many years had his eyelids twitched. He said in surprise and joy: "Second Young Master?"

Meng Qi nodded slightly, pretending to be arrogant and said: "It's hard for you to still remember me."

Who the hell knows who he is!

"You, you are not dead? That's great! You are back just in time!" The guard looked carefully and confirmed that it was his second young master from his height and appearance. He said with ecstasy on his face.

Meng Qi said hoarsely: "What happened?"

Several guards recounted the incident one after another. Meng Qi patiently listened to the news he had heard a long time ago, and finally said in a deep voice: "The eldest brother is like a father. Anyone who dares to take advantage of my ninth sister must first ask the knife in my hand!

"Take me to see my second uncle and the others. "

One of the guards led Meng Qi into the house, while the others looked at the second young master with curiosity and expectation, and suddenly found that the distance of each step he took was exactly the same, as if measuring!

"Second young master, the second young master's strength..." They were dumbfounded. Although they were ordinary guards, they still had some vision!

…………

In the Tang family's hall, the two armchairs at the top were unoccupied, indicating that the head of the family was still there. There were square chairs on both sides of the door, and there were small square tables between the chairs for tea.

The left hand was the host, and the right was the guest. The leader on the left was an old man in his fifties, wearing a wide robe with big sleeves and a Liang crown on his head. Below him was a nearly A 40-year-old elegant man, waving a folding fan and smiling, followed by several elders, guest leaders and several young masters of the same generation as Mr. Tang. Tang Mingyue, as the only child of the eldest son, also sat by the door.

The top right was a young man with a square face, a wide nose and a wide mouth. He behaved dignifiedly and had a long sword on his waist. Sitting there, he gave people a sense of standing tall and deep. Below him were the heads of the Ye Ling Wan family and several nine-hole elders, and then Ye San and the legitimate sons of the other two families - Mr. Ling Da and Mr. Wan San.

"Mingyue, the Ye family is so sincere, you should get engaged to Xiaojie tomorrow, which can also be regarded as a good omen for the old man." Mr. Tang said majestically.

Tang Mingyue's face was pale, and she glanced at Ye San who was winking at her, and said with all her might: "Second uncle, I am the legitimate daughter of the eldest son, and the matter of marriage must be agreed by the head of the family. Although you are temporarily the head of the family, you are not the real head of the family. "

Ye San said with a smile: "Mingyue, what you said is not right. If the old man dies, the position of the head of the family will be either Uncle Tang Er or Uncle Tang Qi. They all agree that you and I will be engaged. What is the difference between this and the decision of the head of the family?"

That makes sense... The others nodded gently.

Tang Mingyue took a deep breath and said: "My second brother is the eldest son of the eldest house, the head of the family according to etiquette. If he is not dead, how can Uncle Tang Er and Uncle Qi decide my marriage?"

Ye San spread out his fan and shook it: "Don't mention that Tang Er's life and death are uncertain. The position of the head of the family cannot wait for him forever. Even if he returns intact, with his broken copper and rotten iron knife skills, how can he convince the public and become the head of the family?"

"Yes, Tang Er was beaten to his knees and begged for mercy by his third brother. If he becomes the head of the family, it will only be a shame for the Tang family!" Ling Da and Wan San agreed with a smile.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded:

"Ye San, then you try to take my broken copper and rotten iron knife. "

Meng Qi drew out his evil sword, and his movements were like precise measurements.

As the long sword was unsheathed, he appeared in the hall as if the earth had shrunk into an inch, and the sword light surged, fierce and domineering, as if it was indestructible!

Wang Zai, who was on the upper right side, let out a sigh and subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand.
