Chapter 443 Everyone Has Something to Wait For
"This lady called me?" Meng Qi, who was wearing a dog-skin plaster, half turned around and said.
After hearing what he said just now, he called me. Things are a bit more certain!
"Miss..." The nanny next to her tried to stop Zuo Yiqian. She had seen too many similar charlatans. They were just good at observing words and expressions, and then made big promises to bluff people. They were not really extraordinary people who could tell fortunes. Anyway, they could scare people as much as they wanted. If they could scare the other party, they would be half successful.
Zuo Yiqian shook her head slightly, signaling the nanny not to speak. The gentleman's casual words just now hit the most secret part of her heart. I'm afraid he really has some skills.
Care makes you confused, and asking for something makes you confused. Zuo Yiqian took a deep breath and said, "This gentleman, I want to test your marriage."
"Don't test it." Meng Qi wanted to play hard to get, and waved his hand, "Miss, why spend money to make you sad? I dare not accept your money."
After that, he raised the bamboo pole and threw the side that said "Test your marriage, but not your heart" high up, attracting attention.
Zuo Yiqian's face turned pale, as if covered with a layer of snow, and her voice trembled slightly: "Sir, please stop. It is better to be sad than to be kept in the dark. If you prepare early, you may escape from the sea of suffering early."
The maids looked at each other. Did the young lady get into trouble?
What should they do? Should they advise her in private first, or should they report to the lady and the adults who stayed behind immediately?
"Hey, I will do a good deed today. This girl, don't force it if it is not destined. Be careful not to hurt others and yourself, and implicate relatives and friends. It is better to break up early, and it doesn't matter if it is not broken. Anyway, there is only one or two days of contact..." Meng Qi shook his head while speaking, and when he mentioned the destiny, he deliberately imitated the mysterious Taoist Tianming.
After speaking, he pulled away and left without even looking back, acting like a master.
Zuo Yiqian watched the gray figure blend into the crowd in a few seconds, without mentioning the matter of collecting money, and seemed to be afraid to avoid it. She was stunned for a while, not knowing whether she was in a dream or in an illusion.
"You really didn't ask for money?"
"You left right after you finished talking. You don't look like a charlatan, but a master who plays with the world..."
The whispers of the maids around her reached Zuo Yiqian's ears, which made her come back to her senses. She shook her body a few times and seemed to be about to fall.
"Miss, are you okay?" The nanny quickly supported her.
Zuo Yiqian took a deep breath and her face turned pale: "I feel a little dizzy. Let's go back to the mansion."
The nanny glanced at the maids and asked them to help her quickly. She was on guard around. According to the fortune teller, the young lady's bad fate was destined to break, and the result would be seen in two or three days. So she would not tell the lady and the adults who stayed behind for the time being, so as not to be punished by them and said that she did not take good care of the young lady.
It would be best to conceal the past quietly!
After leaving the street, Meng Qi found a secret place to change his clothes and fled back to the mansion. He held his head high and inspected the rear. If he found any lazy and unvigilant personal soldiers, he would immediately scold them loudly, showing Ji Tao's usual style.
Gradually, the moon rose, the crows cried, and the night fell. Meng Qi checked back and forth near the courtyard wall and the rockery near the inner palace.
Not long after, Meng Qi sensed a figure climbing over the wall and hiding behind the rockery.
Meng Qi remained calm and pointed at a team of personal soldiers and scolded: "Are you waiting to collect the bodies? Patrol over there!"
The team of personal soldiers nodded and said yes repeatedly, not daring to show dissatisfaction, and quickened their pace.
Watching them go away, Meng Qi put his hands behind his back and moved to the rockery: "Brother Qi, did you find anything?"
"After returning to the mansion, Zuo Yiqian sent away the nanny and the maid, sat alone in a daze, and then opened a secret door in her room..." Qi Zhengyan jumped out of the rockery calmly and stood beside Meng Qi, as if he was accompanying General Ji on an inspection. He moved his lips and transmitted his voice in secret.
"It's really hidden in the secret passage..." Meng Qi increasingly suspected that Du Huai was injured. If it was another bad fate, there would be no need for this.
He has now mastered the footwork contained in the "Jade Void Palm", and with the magic body movement, he feels that his lightness skills are outstanding and unpredictable, so after asking for the details, he whispered: "Brother Qi, help me keep watch, strike while the iron is hot, and don't delay!"
The two quietly climbed over the courtyard wall, passed through the fragrant garden, and arrived at the embroidery building where Zuo Yiqian lived.
Qi Zhengyan hid in the shadows outside, and he would immediately respond to Meng Qi if something went wrong, but Meng Qi was still like a gecko, sticking to the outer wall and going up, silently and without a breath.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived outside Zuo Yiqian's boudoir and saw her sitting behind the desk in a daze, and she didn't even have the mood to play the piano.
"I'm afraid this girl won't be able to sleep for a while..." Meng Qi grinned, while sensing the surroundings, confirming the location of the nanny and the maid, and thinking about a solution.
Suddenly, he put his hand on the window, exerted a little force, shook the window bolt, and let it slide gently.
With this, Meng Qi stretched out his hand, pushed the window open, and rushed in, landing silently.
At the same time, he turned around and slapped his palm, which was shot through the air, closing the window tightly and just right, making only a slight sound.
Immediately afterwards, he grabbed with his left hand, released his true energy, and the window bolt was "picked up" and placed in its original position.
After doing all this, he leaned down and walked along the carpet like a snake.
Feeling the cool breeze blowing in from the window, Zuo Yiqian was alert, and she came back to her senses a little. She looked at the window in surprise, but found that the doors and windows were closed and there was nothing unusual.
"Is it an illusion..." She smiled bitterly.
At this time, Meng Qi was crawling past her, his heart was calm, reflecting the surroundings, but a layer of white sweat subconsciously appeared on his back.
He swam quickly, passed the table in a breath, and flashed behind the screen.
Zuo Yiqian retracted her gaze, looked at the guqin, the table, and the carpet in front of her, and was lost in thought again.
Meng Qi opened his mouth and inhaled slowly, his spirit covering his whole body and interfering with his senses.
Everything he had just done seemed simple, but it was not something that anyone could do. Without the extremely precise control of the body and the true qi by the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art, he would have made a noise long ago, awakening Zuo Yiqian and attracting the nanny. And if he did not have the state of being in the subtle, he would not have the proper grasp of the timing, and even if he released his spirit and interfered with the senses, the effect would not be good.
However, in this way, Meng Qi was nervous and consumed a lot. He recovered a little before passing the screen and walking behind Zuo Yiqian.
The scene in the room was very strange. A beautiful girl in an apricot red dress sat beside the table, her eyes were empty, her expression was sad, and she was in a daze. Behind her, a man in the uniform of a personal soldier general was leisurely looking for something to open the secret door. The two lived in harmony, without making any sound, and seemed to have a tacit understanding.
According to Qi Zhengyan's description, Meng Qi quickly found the jade Buddha statue, twisted it gently, and the secret door opened silently - if the secret door would make a sound, the nanny would have noticed Zuo Yiqian's matter long ago.
Meng Qi thought for a moment, and his breath changed. He actually imitated Zuo Yiqian, then slipped in and closed the secret door.
Behind the door was a long wooden staircase. Meng Qi stepped on it carefully and went down silently. After turning twice, he finally landed on the ground. On both sides were stone walls inlaid with night pearls.
"Girl..." A loud male voice suddenly sounded. With Meng Qi's subtle realm, he had not found any clues before!
Meng Qi was about to take out the token given by the Red Army, and the male voice said in surprise and anger: "You..."
Before he finished speaking, he punched out, and the air around him solidified strangely, binding Meng Qi inside, making it difficult to dodge.
As expected of the "World-suppressing Heavenly King", he was still able to perform at this level even when seriously injured. Meng Qi was not in a hurry. He drew out his long sword, as if holding a piece of flame, and gently pointed it forward.
He seemed to have made a wrong judgment, and the position of the sword tip was a millimeter away from his fist.
But as the sword was thrust out, there was a sound of leaking air in the air, and the solidified air flow dissipated, causing the fist to be crooked.
The man who spoke was about to attack again, but suddenly his eyes froze and he stopped: "Are you the helper invited by Zeng Shen and others?"
Zeng Shen was the leader of the red army seen by Meng Qi and others, and the second of the ten sworn brothers. Meng Qi was holding the token he gave him and showing it with a smile.
"Yes, but is it Du Huaishang Du Tianwang?" Meng Qi threw the strange jade pendant with colorful colors to Du Huaishang.
Du Huaishang was a man of high bearing, about thirty years old, with slightly golden pupils and a vertical line between his eyebrows. He took the jade pendant, carefully identified it, and finally smiled, and said with a bow: "It is Du, I wonder what your name is."
"Just call me Lao Wang." Meng Qi said with a smile, "Du Tianwang, we should not stay here for long, let's leave quickly."
Du Huaishang's face turned pale, and black bulges appeared under his skin from time to time, locking his life like a shackle.
He took a deep breath: "Okay, but Du was able to escape the disaster thanks to the help of Miss Xiaoyi. How can I leave without saying goodbye? I have to thank her in person."
"Du Tianwang, do you know Miss Xiaoyi's full name?" Meng Qi still held the sword without relaxing at all.
Du Huaishang shook his head and said inexplicably: "What does it matter?"
"Her name is Zuo Yiqian." Meng Qi said concisely.
Du Huaishang's eyes froze, his breathing stagnated, and after a while he sighed, "Life is so unpredictable..."
"Haha, King Du, are you still going to kill Zuo Hanfeng?" Meng Qi asked with a smile.
Du Huaishang took a deep breath: "Du did not start the army for himself, but just couldn't bear to see the lives of the people suffer. If Zuo Hanfeng no longer serves the unjust and tyrannical monarch, there is no reason to kill him. But if he blocks the way, Du will not be merciful, but will definitely not implicate Miss Xiaoyi and other relatives."
"If we don't kill him, we can't leave Daning City." Meng Qi said lightly, holding a long sword in his hand, and stepped onto the steps again.
Du Huaishang's face was slightly gloomy, and he followed closely.
This time, Meng Qi did not go through the window again, but took Du Huaishang, climbed up the wall, passed through the beams, and left from the roof.
Du Huaishang was seriously injured and had many inconveniences in his movements. It was all thanks to Meng Qi's help that he could leave silently.
Before leaving the room, he looked at Zuo Yiqian who was in a daze below, closed his eyes, and sighed in his heart.
…………
In the courtyard where Meng Qi lives.
"Du Tianwang, I have something to tell you." Meng Qi introduced Jiang Zhiwei and others with a pseudonym and returned to the topic.
"What is it?" Du Huaishang was a little puzzled.
Meng Qi briefly talked about the ancestor and reincarnation, and finally asked: "Du Tianwang, do you remember the memory of reincarnation in the past life?"
Du Huaishang's face was solemn. He didn't understand why he was stared at by the inexplicable ancestor. He put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth. It took a long time for him to utter a word: "In the past year, I often dreamed of a man sitting on a blood sea lotus, but I couldn't see his face clearly. I just felt inexplicably familiar. Until half a month ago, I finally saw through the fog and saw his face. He, he is me!"
He has the blood of gods and demons, strong strength, and the level of outdoor scenes, but he still had nightmares for a year, so he felt very strange, but he didn't know why, and couldn't find a solution. He had been hiding it in his heart and never told anyone. Now he heard Meng Qi's description, and he was more shocked and inexplicably panicked.
Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei and the others looked at each other, unable to find the reason for the time being, so they had to turn around and say: "Du Tianwang, we are trapped in Daning. We must at least defeat Zuo Hanfeng, Yin Lenghui and his leader before we can get out. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
Du Huaishang shook his head and said: "If I were not troubled by the witchcraft and my serious injuries were difficult to heal, I would have a good chance of winning if I joined forces with you, but now..."
Meng Qi and the others were not good at medicine. They were thinking about whether to force him to expel the witchcraft when they heard Qi Zhengyan say: "The witchcraft is evil. If there is the most yang, most rigid and most righteous power, plus Du Tianwang's own realm, it should be able to expel it in one fell swoop."
"Is it really useful?" Meng Qi looked at Qi Zhengyan in astonishment.
Qi Zhengyan said expressionlessly: "Our sect is located in the southwest, close to the Southern Wilderness, and we know a lot about the witchcraft."
Southern Wilderness... Du Huaishang frowned. He had never heard of this place name.
"That would be great." Meng Qi laughed. He was a person who could simulate the purple thunder force.
Zhao Heng also said: "The aura of the emperor can also restrain evil spirits."
"But you have to prevent Yin Lenghui from sensing your position when you break the witchcraft." Qi Zhengyan reminded him.
"It's okay. Our sect has its own secret sword to cut off this connection." Jiang Zhi said confidently.
Since the people of the Southern Wilderness dare not set foot in the Central Plains, the martial arts sects naturally have secret methods to deal with the witchcraft. Of course, dealing with it is not the same as treating it.
"Thank you." Du Huaishang saluted solemnly.
Then he sat cross-legged, with his five hearts facing the sky, and the aura in his body rolled like a tide, slowly forcing the witchcraft out.
One after another, black air, like snakes and insects, kept jumping in and out of Du Huaishang's body. Zhao Heng clenched his palm into a fist, and a transparent dragon condensed, a bright yellow color emerged, and gently hit Du Huaishang's back.
The black air sizzled and dissipated for the most part. Seeing this, Meng Qi grabbed out with five fingers of his right hand, and a thread of purple lightning jumped, landing in front of Du Huaishang with the most yang and strong aura.
The black gas wailed silently, and purple lightning and bright yellow moved on Du Huaishang's body, driving them away.
Du Huaishang's eyes glowed with golden light, and the black gas dissipated.
At this moment, the sound of a zither suddenly rang out in the air, and a faint black line emerged, which was Ruan Yushu's heart zither.
Jiang Zhiwei, who had been sensing with her eyes closed, swung her sword, and the sword light was like the sun, cutting off the black line.
In a secret room, Yin Lenghui suddenly opened his eyes, looking shocked and stunned.
"What's wrong?" asked the man with his eyes closed.
Yin Lenghui took a breath: "Du Huaishang solved my witchcraft and cut off the connection in the dark."
"It doesn't matter. The day I come out of seclusion is the day he dies." Zuo Hanfeng's voice echoed in the secret room.
In the side room, golden light crisscrossed around Du Huaishang, completely dispelling the black gas.
After he bowed again to thank Meng Qi and the others, he said in a serious voice: "Wait for Du to recover for two days, then go and find them and try to get out of this predicament as soon as possible!"
