Chapter 432: Knowing Is Easy, Doing Is Hard
The black-faced shopkeeper and the woman in the pink skirt have never seen such an invulnerable person. No matter how strong they are in protecting their bodies, daggers and swords will leave white marks on their bodies, not to mention obvious weaknesses such as eyes and mouth. Got it.
He is not a human being, he is not a human being! They looked at Meng Qi as if they were looking at immortals and Buddhas, or demons from hell, full of fear and collapse.
Subconsciously, they turned around to escape, but a smiling voice came from their ears: "Did I let you go?"
There was no magic or experience, but fear made the black-faced shopkeeper and the woman in pink skirt freeze in place, not daring to take another step.
Meng Qi saw it funny. If they escaped, he really couldn't stop them. After all, they couldn't take the initiative to hurt others. But after their hearts collapsed and their courage was taken away, they could no longer think of resisting and escaping. Sometimes, Killing a hundred pigs is harder than killing a hundred people who have no will to resist.
"Go and find the antidote." Meng Qi suddenly said to the newcomers.
Min Renlong, Wu Xiuxian and others slumped on the chairs, their eyes met, and they didn't know why. Their hands and feet were weak and it was difficult to move. Why did the master still give such an order?
At this time, the yin-yang-faced girl Yuan Yang said in surprise: "Did you see it?"
She felt she was well disguised.
Your true energy flow, muscle reaction, your heartbeat and blood flow, all betray you deeply... Meng Qi smiled without saying a word, pointed at the black-faced shopkeeper and the woman in pink skirt, and motioned to Yuan Yang to search for solutions. medicine.
Yuan Yang stood up, and at some point there was an insect on the back of his hand. It was dark blue, like a ladybug, but with seven-color rainbow-like marks on it.
She looked at Min Renlong and Weng Lingyu slightly awkwardly, and whispered: "I didn't notice there was any poison in the food, but Blue Star will take the initiative to absorb the poison. By the time I react, you have already eaten a lot, so pretend He was helpless and planned to wait for the poisoned bad guys to get closer and show them how powerful he was. "
"The response is very good." Meng Qi gave a rare compliment. Without him, Yuan Yang would be their only chance of survival.
Weng Lingyu and others only felt lucky and had no intention of blaming them, and asked Yuan Yang to get the antidote quickly.
Yuan Yang breathed a sigh of relief and was slightly excited because of the praise. She was always discriminated against in the clan.
She walked quickly to the woman in pink skirt and the black-faced shopkeeper, and when she was about to search them, they collapsed and handed over the antidote.
After waiting for Blue Star to "identify", Yuan Yang took it back with a smile and fed Wu Xiuxian and others. At the same time, the black-faced shopkeeper and the woman in pink skirt turned black, covered their throats with both hands, and made a loud sound with blue eyes. Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
Poof, they fell to the ground dead.
Feeling the eyes of Meng Qi and others, Yuan Yang said calmly: "I asked Blue Star to bite them quietly. I can't let the bad guys escape, otherwise more bad guys will be attracted."
"Well, if they escape and report to the Demonic Sword of Farewell, our assassination operation may not be successful." Wu Xiuxian was the first to agree.
Weng Lingyu looked at the corpse on the ground, shuddered, gritted his teeth, and finally nodded vigorously. Min Renlong regained his mobility, and went up to the ground in annoyance to make a blow.
"Okay, leave here, then hide, disguise yourself, and plan again." Meng Qi saw that the four Jianghu chicks had finally become aware of the dangers of reincarnation after suffering a painful lesson, and stood up with a smile, raising his sword.
After all the nine orifices were opened, many intoxicating poisons had no effect on him, and they were discharged to the outside along with the inner circulation of heaven and earth. Therefore, even if he had a good meal, it would not affect him, and his pace remained calm.
…………
In a courtyard behind a downtown area.
The green tree is growing, and Meng Qi is sitting cross-legged below, with a long sword across his knees, closing his eyes and practicing the Ancestral Aperture between the Eyebrows.
Suddenly, rapid and panicked footsteps approached the yard, and she pushed the door open. It was Weng Lingyu who walked in. She was covered in sugar water and looked extremely embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" Meng Qi opened his eyes and stroked his sword gently, with a smile on his eyes and eyebrows.
He had already anticipated what Weng Lingyu would encounter.
Weng Lingyu was annoyed and angry: "Young master, I'm just selling sugar water near her. Why are you always targeting me like you are facing the enemy who killed your father?"
This is the fourth day of the mission. After the previous three days of roundabout exploration and bribery at the bottom of Tiexintang, they finally figured out the daily habits of Fu Cuo, the "Devil Sword of Parting", and found that he would go to the largest store in the city every other day. Spending the night with the courtesan in a brothel.
Considering that Fu Cuo has been in this habit for a long time, he cannot always neglect his own safety. It is easy to fall into a trap if he directly goes to the brothel to assassinate. Therefore, Min Renlong and others arranged the assassination on Fu Cuo's only way to go to the brothel. On the way, it is also convenient for them to quickly break away from the battle and return to Samsara Square after they succeed.
With the plan in mind, they began to get familiar with the "roles" they wanted to play. For example, Weng Lingyu was a girl selling sugar water on the roadside. But when she tried it for the first time today, she was embarrassed by the woman next to her who was doing the same thing.
"Destroying someone's financial path is like killing one's parents." Meng Qi commented briefly.
Weng Lingyu only had little experience and was not a fool. He immediately understood the taste. The place where assassination was convenient must be a prosperous place. It was inevitable that the vendors would make a living on it. If he intervened rashly, in the eyes of others, he was just here to grab his job, so he would naturally be squeezed out. , naturally I was scolded and insulted.
"Master, what should I do?" she asked with her eyes open.
"A new vendor suddenly appears, will Fu Cuo be unwary?" Meng Qi asked, "Why don't you just knock out the woman who splashed you with sugar water today, and then disguise yourself as her, talk less, lower your head more, short Don’t be afraid of being discovered during the time.”
Weng Lingyu nodded gently: "Well, I've been practicing selling sugar water elsewhere these days."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xiuxian pushed open the gate. He was wearing tattered clothes and his face was covered with bruises.
"Brother Wu, were you beaten by other beggars?" Weng Lingyu covered his mouth and laughed.
After a few days of getting along, they became familiar with each other.
Wu Xiuxian was angry and annoyed: "I don't understand, isn't it just begging for food? Is it necessary to beat him to death?"
Weng Lingyu glanced at Meng Qi, imitated him, and said with a faint smile: "Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing his parents."
That day, the assassination plan of the four children suffered a heavy blow. When reading novels and listening to anecdotes in the past, the killers always appeared suddenly, either as flower girls, or street beggars, or fortune tellers, with the force of thunder, quickly killing people, and then spreading far away, it seemed very easy, and it should be simple to follow suit, but who knew that there was a lot of knowledge behind it, and they were still far behind!
In the next two days, under Meng Qi's guidance and their own exploration, Min Renlong, Yuan Yang and others gradually faded away from their immaturity and got on the right track.
…………
On the evening of the sixth day, the streets were crowded with people and very lively.
A child cried for sugar water and was led by his mother to the old stall. Because there were many customers, the woman who usually greeted them with a smile lowered her head and worked hard. The sugar water in the big pot turned golden, bubbling and fragrant.
After drinking the sugar water, the child left with satisfaction. Suddenly, there was a hand at his feet, a dirty hand full of mud.
"Please be kind, please be kind..." The beggar begged in a hoarse voice.
The child's mother couldn't bear it, so she threw a copper coin into his broken bowl, and then took the child away quickly.
In front of the stall selling hair flowers opposite, a girl with a bit of exotic style was concentrating on choosing. A man in black tights was sitting in the private room downstairs, drinking tea, eating meat, with a long sword next to him.
In the private room on the upper floor, Meng Qi played with his teacup, smiled and looked down, waiting for the assassination with an appreciative attitude.
Ta-da-da, the sound of horse hooves, several riders appeared in the distance, surrounded in the center was the "Farewell Magic Sword" Fu Cuo, surrounded by nine guards, the strongest of whom had already opened his mind, no worse than Wu Xiuxian.
Ten riders stepped into the street, because it was too prosperous, the horses slowed down their pace, Fu Cuo looked around, admiring the city under his rule.
Suddenly, the brown horse under him neighed loudly, and the man stood up. There was a dark blue insect on the horse's legs, and the back was shining with a colorful halo.
In a split second, a little slower than the horse's neigh, the woman who had been burying her head picked up the iron pot and poured the boiling sugar water on Fu Cuo and others.
Several guards were caught off guard and screamed in pain from being burned. Some waved their weapons to block the water drops, while others jumped off their horses and used them to avoid the water. The scene was extremely chaotic.
At this moment, the beggar next to him suddenly jumped out and pounced on him, tapping Fu Cuo's throat and forehead with the judge's pen in his hand.
When the horse stood up, Fu Cuo subconsciously controlled himself and did not abandon the horse. When he realized that he was being assassinated, the sugar water and the judge's pen were already in front of him.
His ears were open, and he actually heard the sound of the poisonous insect flying just now, but he thought it was an ordinary insect and did not care. Anyway, it was not coming for him. Who knew that it circled around and suddenly came over to bite the horse.
At the critical moment, he drew out his long sword, as fast as a startled wild goose, and from bottom to top, he took the judge's pen away with two clangs, and rolled his body to the side to avoid the sugar water.
Suddenly, a bright sword light fell from the air, like a steep mountain, extremely dangerous.
At the critical moment of life and death, Fu Cuo's legs, which had not yet separated from the horse, exerted force. The whole person paused for a moment, slowed down a beat, missed the sword light, and then led the long sword away from the black-clothed man.
Min Renlong and Wu Xiuxian did not stop, turned around and fled, seemingly not caring at all whether Fu Cuo was hurt.
Fu Cuo stood up, suddenly shook, his face quickly turned black, and blue blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
It turned out that the real killer was the poisonous insect. Both Wu Xiuxian and Min Renlong wanted to prevent Fu Cuo from being distracted and forgetting the poisonous insect that harmed the horse!
At this moment, Weng Lingyu, who was selling sugar water, and Yuan Yang, who was picking flowers, had already evacuated according to the opportunity.
The guards separated and chased Wu Xiuxian and others, but there were too many people on the street to catch up.
Meng Qi nodded. The four newcomers grew up quickly and could be used as an appendage of the team.
He was waiting to return after the mission was over, but there was no movement. He nodded slightly, fearing that there would be some small twists and turns.
Weng Lingyu walked around in a circle, and as planned, she went up to the restaurant and rushed into the private room.
In her opinion, the mission was over.
But before she could say hello to Meng Qi, she saw a man with a knife walking in, with a restrained aura and deep as the sea.
"He, he followed me..." Weng Lingyu thought blankly.
The man with the knife looked at Meng Qi who was lazily drinking tea, and said in a deep voice: "When I witnessed the assassination just now, I thought there must be a mastermind behind it, and it turned out to be true..."
He walked slowly towards Meng Qi, looking confident.
Meng Qi sighed, picked up the sheath and the sword, and stabbed the man with the knife at his knee.
The man raised his eyebrows and spread his knife, but suddenly saw the other party's long sword raised, and it passed through the heavy net.
He took a step back and slashed with his long sword, trying to break the trick with force.
But the other party's long sword had changed its moves and was still pointing at the knee.
Three consecutive swords, each sword made the man with the knife take a step back.
The long sword was retracted, and the man holding the knife returned to the position where he had just entered.
"Get out." Meng Qi said calmly.
The man holding the knife was breathing heavily and seemed to have been hit hard: "You, you don't want to know who I am, why are you following me?"
"Not interested." Meng Qi smiled and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Okay, okay, okay!" The man holding the knife said hello three times with a livid face, "You defeated me so easily, you must be considered unparalleled in the world!"
Meng Qi smiled, looked out the window at the bustling streets, and said with waning spirits, "I have been studying martial arts for many years. It would be really boring if my opponent is still at your level."
There was no contempt, but it was better than contempt. The kind of contempt that came from the heart made the man with the knife turn pale, said nothing more, staggered and turned around to leave.
Weng Lingyu looked at Meng Qi and felt that the swordsmanship just now was "familiar". Suddenly, she remembered a famous swordsmanship. There were many rumored swordsmanships in Jiangdong. She stammered: "Kanxu swordsmanship, sir." , Young Master, you are from the Wang family..."
Meng Qi raised his finger, put it to his lips, and hissed: "Don't tell others, cough cough cough..."
He coughed intently, then his vision dimmed, mission accomplished.
In the ancestral home of the Wang family in Guangling, Wang Siyuan suddenly sneezed, then frowned and took out his calculations, but he had no clue.
