Chapter 218 It’s Over
Meng Qi calmly put away the "Eye of the Evil God". Regardless of whether he could use it or not, handing it over to the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation would definitely earn him good deeds, and it might even be quite generous.
Many imprints on Zishang were convex, dazzling, and flowing endlessly. The sharp aura almost condensed into substance and rushed into the sky.
Meng Qi's heart was pounding, but the head of the city's governor Huang Zhiqing, the young genius Wang Zai of the Zhou County Wang family, and several elders from the Wanling family all came over, their eyes focused on the colorful purple.
Wang Zai used "Mighty and Unyielding", which consumed a lot of energy. Unless there was another way to replenish it, it would not pose a threat. However, Huang Zhiqing was only slightly injured. The "Wind and Thunder God Fist" was already in a state of artistic conception. If he was not older, he might have been at the bottom of the human list. The elders from the Wanling family had no chance to take action. They had been avoiding the evil god, and their nine orifices were well preserved.
However, it is especially so. With his true strength, the ability to not fear group battles with the Immortal Seal, the ability to escape with the Phantom Demon Body Skill and the Wind God Leg, and Qi Zhengyan's secret help, if he suddenly makes a move, he has a 70% to 80% chance of grabbing Zishang and running away. The only worry is that Huang Zhiqing, as the head of the police, has a secret tracking method, and there will be a bloody battle.
But is it really good to seize the treasure like this?
Although the people of the Ye family were sacrificed, they were only those who were currently in the mansion. There were playboys enjoying themselves outside, and there were outstanding descendants traveling around. After suffering such a disaster, Zishang was taken away by others. Is this really good?
The hatred of the siege has disappeared with the death of Ye San, the swordsman and others. If I take Zishang, it is obviously not related to revenge, but only greed and fear of the death mission.
Meng Qi looked around and saw Tang Ren, who was listless and withered, beside him. He thought of the expectations he, Old Man Tang, and Tang Mingyue had for each other, of his companionship and protection tonight, of his praise for "Tang Jing", of Old Man Tang's tearful eyes, of the eight words "I'll take your responsibility for impersonating you", and suddenly felt sorry for him. He didn't want to let Tang Er really "disappear".
Sighing, he said, "Everyone, what should we do with the Purple Sorrow Sword?"
After thinking it over, he gave up the idea of directly taking the treasure. There were various reasons for this, but in the final analysis, it was because he couldn't get over it. He felt that this behavior was inconsistent with his character. Just like before in the Tang Family Ancestral Hall, although he kept saying that he would severely punish Tang Shu's family, it was just a verbal threat to force Tang Shu out. If Tang Shu didn't show up, Meng Qi thought he couldn't do it. At most, he would rush to the manor to do chores, just like when he used the joke about Gu Changqing's homosexuality to scare the whole crowd, it was just verbal skills.
An elder of the Ling family who was on good terms with the Ye family sighed: "The Ye family suffered such a catastrophe, and its foundation was completely destroyed. Zi Shang must naturally be entrusted to their descendants, so that they can have the hope of rebuilding the family business."
Including Tang Ren, several elders of the family also coveted Zi Shang, but they felt sad for their own family members, and they could not help but feel pity when they thought that their own family might also encounter similar things and fall into such a situation. So they all nodded and agreed with the opinion of the elder of the Ling family. Anyway, there was only one sword, and it was not evenly divided. It would be better to take some of the sharp weapons and property in the Ye family's treasure house as a reward.
Huang Zhiqing shook his head: "This is not appropriate. First, the people of the Ye family outside do not have a master above the six orifices. Even if they have precious weapons, they are like a three-year-old child carrying gold through the busy city. They have no ability to defend themselves, and they will only attract covetousness and greed. At that time, any powerful robber and bandit can kill people and steal treasures. We can't take turns to guard the Ye family day and night, right? Secondly, the bloody incident that happened to the Ye family was appalling, and it had to be reported to the county city, and evidence had to be presented in court, and the Zishang Sword was one of them. "
"So, let's give Zishang to us for custody, and settle the case first, and then return it to someone in the Ye family when he grows up to eighty or ninety orifices."
Shameless! Meng Qi cursed in his heart, and seeing the expressions of Tang Ren and others, they also had similar reactions.
If Zishang is given to the Six Gates for custody, will it be returned in the future?
This is simply Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou, but never returning it! If the Ye family has the strong support of the Zhoujun Wang family at that time, it will be fine, but what is there for the weak Ye family to value? Meng Qi could foresee that when asking for it, there would inevitably be correspondence and lawsuits, which would drag on for decades until the Ye family was completely defeated.
Before Meng Qi spoke, Wang Zai spoke up, and said solemnly: "Governor Huang, this is not appropriate. The Ye family is an ally of our Wang family. They have suffered a disaster, and we should take care of Zishang and cultivate the descendants of the Ye family to become talents. "
Meng Qi and the others didn't know whether to believe his words or not. If it weren't for the name of the Zhoujun Wang family, if it was any other family, it would be a naked act of swallowing up Zi Shang. However, the Zhoujun Wang family still had a good reputation in similar matters. They acted uprightly and would return the money to the victims as long as they asked for it.
Moreover, there were only a few people left in the Ye family, and they had always been dependent on the Wang family. Would they have the courage to ask for it?
Hey, it would be better for me to take care of it. At least I, Meng, will keep my promise and pay it back when I say it will be paid back. As long as I am not dead, I will definitely pay it back! Meng Qi complained in his heart, glanced at Tang Ren, and found that he was also eager to try, and suddenly his heart moved.
He was about to speak, but he heard Qi Zhengyan say in a deep voice: "Everyone, Qi's cousin was seriously injured by Zi Shang and almost lost his life. How can we seek justice? ”
After Meng Qi pretended to be the Second Young Master of Tang, Qi Zhengyan explained to the public that his cousin Meng Qi had been seriously injured and was recovering in a secret place. Otherwise, such a major event would have required the intervention of the Gentleman Sword, who was able to enter the list of people.
The scene froze, and the three elders of Tang Lingwan looked unhappy, hiding their uneasiness. Although their families were deceived by the evil, the act of besieging and killing Qi Zhushi and his cousin was real. If they did not pay a price, Huanhua Sword Sect would lose face, and Zhou Jun Wang would not intervene. By then, their three families would definitely suffer heavy losses, and the Ye family would be completely cut off.
Wang Zai looked unhappy, but did not speak. In this matter, Huanhua Sword Sect lost face. If it was not compensated, there might be a strong rebound. Originally, if Huanhua Sword Sect bullied the forces that took shelter from their own family, a direct conflict would be beneficial to their reputation, and a small battle would not be impossible, but now, they were fooled by the evil, and if they went to war with Huanhua Sword Sect again, they could not bear the responsibility!
Although the treasured weapons were precious and rare, their family was the top force in the world and there was no shortage of them, so there was no need to take risks.
Huang Zhiqing looked gloomy and said nothing. The big sects and big families were strong and often treated the court and the six gates as nothing. It was really hateful, but there was nothing he could do!
Meng Qi had only one thought in his mind, Brother Qi, no, cousin, should we cooperate so well? I just thought about this and you spoke up!
He maintained the style of Tang Er, a cold swordsman, and said lightly: "Master Qi wants Zishang? This justice is too expensive."
One played the white face and the other played the red face.
The three elders of Tang Wanling fell into deep thought. The treasured weapons were precious, but they were not their own. It was more cost-effective to exchange for Master Qi's understanding and eliminate the anger of Huanhua Sword Sect with the generosity of others.
Moreover, Master Qi was only four-orificed, even if he hid his martial arts, it was not much higher. It was still unclear whether he could keep the treasured weapons.
Qi Zhengyan said expressionlessly: "The Ye family was almost wiped out. Our sect and I sympathize with them and will never take the precious weapon by force. However, my cousin came here to avoid disaster. If he has the precious weapon, he will be able to wipe out his enemies and eliminate future troubles. In this way, he will definitely not care about the siege by the four families and the serious injury to Zi Shang. If he doesn't care, I will naturally not pursue it."
He said it with confidence... This is Meng Qi's idea.
As the parties involved do not pursue it, Huanhua Sword Sect has nothing to say...This is what other people think.
Qi Zhengyan continued: "You all know that my cousin's skills should be able to protect Zi Shang. Therefore, I propose in the name of the head of Huanhua Sword Sect that in order to break the previous cause, the Ye family will lend Zi Shang to my cousin for one year. As long as the man is there, the sword will be returned at the end of the term. The heaven and earth will witness it."
Just borrow? There is a deadline? Wang Zai and others frowned slightly, but felt that Qi Zhengyan's request was too low. Although Gentleman Sword Meng Qi might disappear in the vast sea of people with the treasured weapon, the monk can escape but the temple cannot. Qi Zhengyan is still here, and he is the head of the Huanhua Sword Sect.
To a certain extent, the identity of a disciple of a large sect is more valuable than a treasured weapon. It depends on the strength shown by Qi Zhengyan and the fact that he can now sit on an equal footing with Huang Zhiqing and several family elders to discuss issues.
And it can also make Gentleman Sword Meng Qi swear a soul oath!
"That's good. After a year, someone in the Ye family may be able to open his mouth, and the inner world will be formed. He has the initial ability to wield the treasured weapon and can barely defend himself." Huang Zhiqing said, "But Gentleman Sword must swear a soul oath."
Wang Zai nodded.
Meng Qi was secretly delighted and said calmly: "As long as I can resolve the anger of the Huanhua Sword Sect, I have no objection."
Everyone quickly reached a consensus. First, the Six Gates and the three families sent experts to the Yamen to watch Zishang and hand him over to Meng Qi tomorrow.
Afterwards, everyone searched the Ye family and found that the sharp weapons and elixirs were all contaminated and were like waste.
…………
All the way back to the Tang family, Tang Ren, who was exhausted, went directly back to the quiet room to take medicine and regulate his breath. The elders and guests who had resolved the matter also said goodbye.
"Second brother, is the matter resolved?" Tang Mingyue had heard about the previous battle between the treasure soldiers. In addition, he had been paying attention to this matter. Seeing the expressions of the elders, he was relieved and had already figured it out.
Meng Qi nodded and roughly described the whole process. Tang Mingyue was afraid and hated: "It's abominable to destroy the Tianmen! Those who raise evil gods should die!"
Although Ye San was a playboy, the Ye family still had good children, and there were also Tang Mingyue's close friends.
Meng Qi looked at her wonderful and lovely expression, sighed and said: "Ninth sister, I will leave the family affairs to you in the future."
"Ah? What?" Tang Mingyue was puzzled.
Meng Qi said with a serious expression: "I have discussed with Master Qi. Huanhua Sword Sect will support you as the head of the family. Wang and the elders are at a disadvantage and dare not strongly oppose it. Grandpa Ren will also fully support you when he sees that things are settled."
"Second brother, you, what about you?" Tang Mingyue said in shock.
Meng Qi sighed: "I lied about the previous things. The assassins from the Bu Ren Building encountered on the ship were caused by me. I have implicated Brother Wan for no reason. If I stay any longer, it will be bad for the family and for you."
Tang Mingyue thought of the scars on her second brother's face, and felt that this explanation was natural. She said with concern: "Second brother, Yicheng is close to Yedu, and our family has precious soldiers. The assassins from the Bu Ren Building dare not mess around..."
She couldn't say anything more.
If Bu Ren Lou was afraid of this, it would not be one of the Nine Evil Paths. Moreover, they are good at assassination, and their notoriety is even worse than that of Mie Tian Men. Of course, every year there are assassins from Bu Ren Lou killed by major sects, big families and the Six Gates. They tacitly maintain a boundary between themselves.
"Ninth sister, don't worry. The world is so big. If I change my human skin mask, no matter how many people there are in the Bu Ren Building, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. And with the speed of my strength improvement, in a few years, I may be able to open the gate of life and death and fight against the assassins of the Bu Ren Building." Meng Qi comforted Tang Mingyue.
Bu Ren Building is not a crazy sect like Mie Tian Men. Assassination is a training and also a business. If you need to use an outdoor assassin, you have to re-examine the price.
"Second brother, do you want to take Canglan away?" Tang Mingyue said with tears in her eyes.
Meng Qi smiled and said, "This is for suppressing the family. I have a good plan."
He comforted again, "Don't worry, the greater my reputation, the more stable you will be as the head of the family."
Tang Mingyue looked sad and pitiful. He gritted his teeth and said, "Second brother, when are you leaving?"
"Tonight, apologize to grandpa on my behalf." Meng Qi said in a deep voice.
Tang Mingyue nodded heavily: "You must be careful!"
An hour later, the night was dark, the moonlight fell on the roof, a piece of silver frost, Tang Mingyue stared at the clear light in a daze.
I don't know when I can see my second brother again...
