Chapter Thirty-Six: The Zhuge Crossbow Launches a Demonic Transformation
The wind in the reed marsh became colder, the moon was dark and the wind was high. Qian Lun gritted his teeth, turned around, ran two steps, jumped into the river, flipped into the water with a splash, and struggled to swim out.
He crossed Wuhu in two steps and hurried over. He pushed Qian Lun down, who was about to faint from the cold water, and lifted him up again. He did this three times and almost drowned Qian Lun.
The old water thief threw the money accountant to the muddy ground on the shore like a fish, and threw all the pieces to the ground. Then he saw Qian Lun getting up covered in mud and water, cold and frightened.
"You are a man who dares to drink water in front of me!"
Guo Wuhu looked impatient and immediately started to crush the shoulder bone of the Ye family accountant.
"Brother, wait a minute." Lao Meng flipped his wrist and stopped Guo Wuhu from grabbing him casually. "Old Qian is just a scholar. He can't figure it out at the moment. Please wait a moment!"
Meng Captou is a good man. Qian Lun was moved and wanted to cry.
"You always know the business route of the Ye family in the local area, the true and false in the village, and the old money!"
Meng Baotou asked with a pleasant face, pretending to be a white face.
Qian Lun's body was shaking like chaff, but he still didn't say anything. Backbiting and talking nonsense may not lead to survival, so the accountant could only choose to shut up for a while.
"Okay! You are a tough accountant!" Guo Wuhu struck the cashier on the neck with his palm, knocking him unconscious immediately. He then put a set of sacks, tied a knot skillfully, and threw it to Meng Yishan, "I don't have the skills, so just
I'll leave it to you to concoct."
Lao Meng and Guo Wuhu didn't expect to get all the secrets of the Ye family in just one kidnapping. They could only do it piecemeal. They first went to a think tank in the Ye family, and then dug grass and looked for snakes to slowly find out the details of the treasure.
Meng Captou's idea of getting promoted and getting rich and taking control of the Inspection Department is also counting on the help of Master Ye. Keeping it secret and fighting without defeat are the next themes.
It was inconvenient to stay here for a long time after crossing the Five Lakes. The old water thief needed to rush back and pretend to be injured before the Ye family found out that Qian Lun was missing. After a few words of explanation, he ran away.
Meng Yishan threw the sack containing the money accountant over his shoulder, practiced the Qinggong he learned from the prostitute, and realized the artistic conception of the colorful butterflies in the movement as he ran, disappearing into the night.
Lao Meng took Qian Lun back to He Shangshu's outer house, woke up Mo Kui, pointed to Qian's accounting room and said to him: "Tie Xiong, find a cellar, throw him in, and send two brothers to watch over him day and night.
!”
"This guy is still an important person right now, so be careful."
Mo Kui was really confused, but he was able to participate in the secret because he treated him as one of his own! He immediately patted his chest to ensure that everything was safe, picked up Qian Lun and went to find someone to guard him.
Meng Yishan thought that the whereabouts of the treasures in these two ships might have to be found from the Huashan sect. Fatty Ye was too cunning, so I wonder if Xie Jin was still in the Lu family? He went to explore that day and asked him about it.
The next day, Lao Meng was on duty at the Yamen. Meng Yishan went to see Mao early in the morning and wanted to walk out to avoid Tian Xi. He collected the gold but did not arrest anyone, fearing that Tian’s inspection team would come to ask questions.
Awkward.
Before he could leave, a messenger said: "The Prince of Yi came this morning and asked about the chief arrester."
Meng Yishan frowned, but before his face sank, the ignorant person was still standing next to him and said: "The chief arrester is really capable, and the people he knows are all relatives of the emperor!"
Lao Meng blurted out: "That guy...where is that prince?" Before he could figure out what Zhu Pan was doing here, someone said, "It seems that he went to the back house to meet Miss Li Qing!"
The chief catcher's originally good mood turned into a bad one. He sent three errands to the unlucky guys in the house three times heavier than usual. He rushed to the backyard cursing, leaving the policemen thinking about that sycophant. Right? It pissed off Mr. Meng.
As soon as Meng Yishan entered the garden of the back house, he saw Zhu Pan and Li Qing standing there. Zhu Shizi was saying something unknown, and Miss Li was listening politely.
Meng Yishan immediately shouted: "Prince Zhu, you are here, let me find it easily!" He stepped forward and made a cross move.
When the two of them saw Meng Yishan coming, they were both startled. Zhu Pan clasped his fists and said, "Meng Capt., what's the matter?"
Lao Meng smiled honestly and said: "I heard from the messenger, you asked about me?" But his eyes did not look at Zhu Pan, but stared at Li Qing!
Zhu Pan said from the side: "I was about to tell Meng Baotou that my second brother had a conflict with you in Longmenfang earlier. Don't be offended!"
Meng Yishan pretended to be magnanimous in front of Li Qing and said nonchalantly: "I'm not surprised that he is young and has little knowledge! This is called an adult ignoring the faults of a villain."
Zhu Pan smiled and wanted to drop the topic. But Meng Yishan asked: "It is not a matter of compensating me. You should let your brother come. You are not sincere in coming to see it for him."
Zhu Pan thought to himself that if Lao Meng hadn't been playing rough tricks in the casino that day and had no gambling qualities, Zhu Ju wouldn't have done anything on the ground of Longmenfang and offended Gao Changtai, a man who even King Yi had to pay three points to. Weiyuanhou.
Originally, he came to pursue Li Qing, because King Yi admired Meng Yishan, so he helped his father to comfort him, but he didn't expect this guy to be so ignorant.
Zhu Pan was a little sulky, but he still maintained politeness in his words: "Xiaosheng recently wrote a poem, and I came to ask Miss Li to comment on it and gain some benefit. I didn't come here to see Brother Meng!"
When Li Qing saw that Meng Yishan was looking for trouble for Zhu Pan, he was very interested and deliberately praised: "Zhu Shizi's poems are very talented!"
Zhu Pan was very humble: "A vulgar work cannot be judged by an expert!"
Meng Yishan was good at killing people and setting fires. He had murderous intent but no talent. He couldn't compare with Zhu Pan, who was well-read in poetry and books. He could only mutter bullshit poetry in his heart.
Zhu Shizi didn't want to waste his good time with people like Meng Yishan, so he said to Li Qing: "Miss Li, it's a nice day today, let's go out for a walk?"
Li Qing originally didn't want to go out, but that day Meng Yishan broke into the embroidery building at night and was taken advantage of by him. When he saw Lao Meng, he felt a little upset, so he smiled at Zhu Pan and said, "Okay!"
Meng Yishan judged Zhu Pan with the heart of a bandit and felt that it was inappropriate to let the two of them go out. He immediately said: "No, the city is in chaos. Qing'er should not go out. The prince can leave by himself!"
Li Qing glared at Lao Meng angrily, turned around and walked towards the corner door of the outer house with Zhu Pan.
Mr. Meng, the boss, was so shameless that he stepped forward and squeezed between the two of them. He said sternly: "A man and a woman alone are making people laugh. I'd better go with you!"
Li Qing's expression changed, and while Zhu Pan was walking in front, he kicked Lao Meng hard, gritting his silver teeth in secret resentment.
The three of them had different thoughts, so they left the government office together and walked into the streets of Luoyang.
The cold wind of early winter cannot blow away the prosperity of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. The wide streets are still jammed with traffic and horses. The merchants on both sides have started doing business early, and the vendors selling food are also shouting "fried carp", "peony agarwood" and the like. The name refers to an atmosphere of peace and happiness.
Zhu Pan was moved by the scene and sighed: "Governor Li is indeed a virtuous person. He managed this city with such a splendid manner, which can be said to be the talent of Anbang!" He used the topic to praise Magistrate Li's wisdom. Li Qing was of course happy to hear this, and he immediately made the beauty smile.
Lao Meng was secretly angry. He let Zhu Pan say all the good things. He couldn't refute that our Lord was a weak official and he couldn't govern Luoyang well! He thought vigilantly in his heart, "This nerd can see the essence in his stupidity. He is very good at flattery and flattery, but
You have to be careful."
Li Qing also felt that Zhu Pan was not as dull as before recently, so he started talking, but there was a vague sadness in the prince's eyebrows.
The three of them were wandering around, and Li Qing's interest soon turned to hairpin jewelry. Rouge and gouache came up. When he saw this kind of shop, he went in to browse and buy some for future use. Lao Meng and Zhu Pan stood outside, like two
The attendants would rather die than go in.
Li Qing deliberately tried to tease the two of them. He shopped for most of an hour and bought rouge and gouache that would not be used for three or two years. After choosing a phoenix hairpin and hairpin ring, the whole box could not fit in it. He asked the two of them to hold it for him.
The three of them turned back to the street. Zhu Shizi was carrying a big bag of Rouge, and his face was almost as red as Rouge. Lao Meng was holding the jewelry box in one hand and holding a hairpin with a hairpin head and a flying phoenix in the other.
Meng Yishan and Zhu Pan reached a consensus for the first time, and they both thought that they would never go to the streets with Li Qing next time!
The street was bustling with people, and Mr. Meng was about to tell Li Qing that we should go back and stop shopping.
But I saw about a dozen men pretending to be men around me. Although they were mixed in the crowd, they couldn't hide their distinctive nervousness.
Li Qing and Zhu Pan also sensed something was wrong around them, so these people moved closer to them. Everyone held out daggers and daggers, and surrounded the three of them.
Lao Meng was a little happy that he didn't have to go shopping this time, so he asked: "Which road is it on?"
A leader stood out from the crowd and said to Meng Yishan: "The heroes of Bailian Jiaoyinzitang are here to take revenge. No one will be left behind!"
Meng Yishan, who had made great achievements in suppressing the White Lotus Sect, poured his true power into the phoenix hairpin in his hand and threw it, flying towards the leader like a hidden weapon. The leader of the White Lotus Sect pushed the hairpin away with his hand, but was led to the empty door and was hit one after another by Meng Yishan's iron fists.
Come on, the leader stepped aside and used Bagua Quan, a technique that Lao Meng had seen before, to counter him.
After two bangs, the two men's stances were still intact, but the leader's face turned slightly pale. Meng Yishan's punches were as powerful as a tiger's, and his movements were as fast as fire. They were strong and fast, making it difficult to parry.
Leader Bai Lian whistled, and the remaining dozen men waved their weapons, surrounded the three men and killed them fiercely. These men had a single technique, but they were all proficient in killing people.
Mr. Meng tried two moves on the head, and found that these men's martial arts were not very high. Li Qing and he could cope with it, so they started to fight hard, using their fists and kicks to fight with the weapons in the hands of these men. Li Qing's martial arts was more refined than Lao Meng's.
You need to be more proficient, the power between your palms and fingers is not small, and you can knock down an opponent with just a few moves.
Zhu Pan's performance was mediocre. When he saw the daggers coming, he had a look of panic on his face. He was too timid to fight on the spot and couldn't use his martial arts even 10% of the time. He just avoided his opponents and walked around the place.
Lao Meng punched and kicked, and he had the upper hand in every move. He thought to himself: "Who is so blind? They found some weak chickens for me to practice."
After fighting for another five or six moves, the men who had been tightly surrounding them retreated like a tide, revealing four or five gaps. Meng Yishan thought they wanted to escape, but when he saw that some of the people around him were actually holding on to their hands.
There were five Zhuge crossbows with ten arrows fired from one bow. I couldn't help but secretly take a breath.
The distance was really too close, and just now these men actually wanted to circle them and let the crossbow arrows get closer, killing the three of them in this unavoidable shooting range.
There were continuous whining sounds, and just before the bowstring clicked, Meng Yishan pulled Li Qing and rolled him into the shop on the left.
The five box crossbows fired in unison, with ten arrows in one crossbow. The arrows flew out in succession. They shot through the air rapidly, and they were all aimed at Zhu Pan.
Seeing that he was about to die, Zhu Pan had a strange look on his face. He flew out with his right foot and kicked the man closest to him in a circle. He hooked him in front of him, stretched out his hands and grabbed it, and turned the man into a "
Human shield.”
This self-rescue trick in danger was like a divine aid, and it was actually hundreds of times stronger than his previous performance. Seeing that the arrow was about to fly in front of him, Zhu Pan's hands were slightly red, and he penetrated his inner energy into the "human shield"
In the middle, there was a loud shout, and the "human shield" was rotated three times in a row, and all the fifty eight-inch fine iron arrows were sucked into the "human shield", and the crossbows were instantly
My hands were all stunned with fear.
Zhu Pan used the inner strength of his hands again, and the corpse in his hand that had been shot into a honeycomb exploded, with flying arrows, scattering people and objects in a four-foot radius in front of him, including the eight opponents in the front.
The "White Lotus Leader" had no time to escape, and was punched with small holes in his body by the arrows contained in the blood rain, and he died immediately.
The noisy streets became dead silent, and everyone fled. Li Qing's face turned pale, and she leaned in Lao Meng's arms. Such a bloody scene really made her unbearable.
Meng Yishan was shocked that Zhu Pan was so skilled and such a brilliant and vicious martial arts was unheard of. It was strange that he pretended to be weak before.
At the moment, Li Qing was leaning in his arms, with soft jade's warm and fragrant arms around him. He secretly thanked Zhu Pan for his wonderful killing skills, then tightened his arms and hugged the prefect's daughter tightly.
Zhu Shizi sighed sadly when he saw Li Qing's fearful expression. Without explaining to the two of them, he turned around blankly and walked towards the street, letting the blood on his hands solidify in the wind. No one looked like he had just been killed.
