Chapter 7 007
Chapter 7 007
It must be said that the people in the martial arts world are very receptive to being assassinated.
When Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing arrived at the headquarters of the Mi Tian League, the wedding that attracted much attention in Bian Jing City had been held in an orderly manner.
The servant who greeted guests in the Mi Tian League took the gift from him and took him to the banquet with a smile on his face.
If he didn't know what happened before, Lu Xiaofeng would have doubted that he just came to an ordinary wedding.
Who made...
Guan Qi is indeed a lunatic.
There was such a big mistake on the way to pick up the bride, even the head of the Six Gates was involved, and there were not a few subordinates of the Mi Tian League who were attacked and killed. However, after seeing Shi Qingruo return safely, he restrained his murderous aura and continued to lead the team "obediently".
As for the wife of the Saint Lord of the Mi Tian League, she had never officially shown her face in front of many people. Now with a red veil and a fan covering her face, no one could tell what she was thinking.
This pair of newlyweds who were too special "set a good example", let alone the rest of the people.
However, one could still hear some people whispering in the crowd, which made people realize that this place was unusual.
"...If you ask me, some people really suffered heavy losses this time."
"You mean Lei--"
"Shh, keep your voice down, who knows if there are people from the Six and a Half Points Hall here?"
"So what? In the early years, the Six and a Half Points Hall had a banner that was convincing. After paying three and a half points of income, when they encountered trouble, they would use six and a half points of strength to fight back, but now..." "
It's better to be more loyal than the Golden Wind and Rain Tower."
"But the owner of the Su Tower was injured in his early years and is ill, so he is not as stable as the Six and a Half Points Hall. Don't forget that the head of the Lei Hall has the support of the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall behind him."
"..."
Lu Xiaofeng listened to these voices, secretly pondered the situation in the capital, and saw Sikong Zhaixing looking at the situation in a corner of the front yard.
The Three Saints of the Misty Heaven Alliance still wore a long blue cloth gown, but he was not as comfortable as before in the alliance. In front of outsiders, he wore a bamboo hat with a hole on his head, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
If I saw correctly, there was a serious knife wound on his shoulder, which was being bandaged. It
is said that because of the ruthless chief arrester, most of the assassins who were intercepted on the way were captured on the spot and sent to the Six Gates for trial.
The old lady Douzi who attacked Wuqing directly was injured by the lover's arrow and had no chance to escape.
The only person who escaped was the young man in the long gown holding a dazzling hidden weapon.
The Three Saints arrived in time and tried to stop him, but unexpectedly, the young man was not very old and his swordsmanship was extremely superb. He directly killed a bloody path and injured Ren Guishen.
Now he can only guard the Misty Heaven Alliance with injuries.
"What are you looking at?"
Sikong Zhaixing sneered: "I'm seeing some people still pretending to be good, but unfortunately, the trick was discovered by the master girl before, and it's just a joke."
"Then you have nothing to worry about, it shows that your master girl is still sure to win."
Lu Xiaofeng looked at the sky while answering, but he couldn't help but complain again in his heart. This kind of situation of talking about one person every three sentences can never happen to him.
It is said that the reason why the saint of the Mitian League is crazy is also related to a love injury in his early years.
But the lady he is marrying now is not a good person...
It can be seen that being a playboy sometimes has its advantages.
Wait.
Lu Xiaofeng's thoughts stopped abruptly and
he abruptly retracted his sight. His sudden reaction was not because the wedding ceremony was about to be officially held and the master of ceremonies sent a signal, but because -
the courtyard suddenly became quiet.
The voices that were talking about Liufenbantang and Jinfengxiyulou disappeared in an instant.
Even the people who were talking loudly before seemed to be frozen there by a tap, still keeping their mouths open, but no sound came out.
But what they were looking at now was no longer their companions, but the people who were walking in from the door.
Or to be more precise, two people.
Through the semi-transparent gauze curtain, Shi Qingruo could see the appearance of the two people by just slightly moving the fan.
The man walking in front was wearing a gray robe with wide sleeves, like an elder who was shopping, with his hands in his lapels.
If it weren't for his unique aura, it would be doubted whether he was a simple-dressed man from the martial arts world.
But when he walked into the courtyard, not only did the previous noisy sounds stop, but it seemed that even the previous sunny sunshine had been replaced by rain and turned into a dull and gloomy color.
And the person following him seemed to be at the other extreme.
The young man in the same plain clothes walked with his head down, but his beautiful features could still be seen from the little bit of his face that was exposed, and his movements also showed a bit of elegance.
If he had not looked at the tip of his shoes as if he was ashamed to see people, but had been able to raise his head, I am afraid that the contrast with the person in front of him would be even more shocking.
"Lei——"
"Lei, the head of the hall!"
Someone in the crowd finally burst out his voice from his blocked throat.
A stone stirs up a thousand waves.
These people did not call the wrong name.
Lei Sun.
This is the head of the six and a half halls, Lei Sun!
After these words of reminder of identity came out, the people who were frozen in place started to move again.
For a moment, the people who were standing stupidly in place before retreated one after another, making way for the two people.
At one end of the path, Lei Sun was walking forward, and the head of the hall, Di Feijing, who was his right-hand man.
At the other end, Guan Qi and Shi Qingruo stood side by side.
But when they looked over, everyone present fell into silence again.
Almost at the same time when Lei Sun's identity was exposed, Shi Qingruo raised her hand to lift the veil on her face, and looked at the uninvited guests in a more open manner.
So when everyone looked over there, the first thing they saw was that face as beautiful as peaches and plums.
Sikong Zhaixing, who had seen her several times, still found it difficult to maintain his mind in front of this face, let alone those who saw her for the first time.
Not to mention, even though she had encountered a shocking change before, and now she was facing the most prominent figure in Bianjing City, this face did not lose its color at all. On the contrary, because she was in the main seat and Guan Qi was by her side, she had a calm and generous demeanor.
Guan Qi's subconscious vigilance against the appearance of masters was even more shattered when she raised her hand to hold his wrist.
She raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile: "I wonder why the head of the Lei clan has such a refined taste and came here in person?"
Shi Qingruo said it smoothly, but she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
Lei Sun might not know that she had a brief but extremely important exchange with Su Mengzhen through the previous situation, and also built a special bridge between Mi Tian League and Jin Feng Xi Yu Tower.
He came here, most likely just because of the failed assassination.
He would know that some of the actions in the assassination were too straightforward, and once he appeared here, he would definitely be discussed and judged by all parties.
But he still chose to come in person, and brought his capable men with him, the significance of which is self-evident.
This is a hero who can bend and stretch, and dare to change strategies quickly!
When he has a large enough force under his command, he will be the most terrible opponent, and it is not easy to defeat him with one or two failures.
And his coming here also brings great variables.
...
Lei Sun faced Shi Qingruo's scrutiny and took two steps forward.
Perhaps because it was too inconsistent with his clothes, Shi Qingruo saw at a glance that on the finger he was casually fiddling with at the moment, he was wearing an extremely bright green jade ring.
Because the jewelry was eye-catching, she also naturally saw that the hand wearing the jade ring had only two dry fingers, and the other three fingers seemed to have been cut off by a sharp weapon and disappeared.
According to the rumors in the martial arts world, when Lei Sun showed this incomplete hand, he was definitely not showing any friendly intentions.
That was Lei Sun's "killing order".
But when he spoke, he sounded like a gentle elder: "It's not a refined interest. Brother Guan is not only my benefactor who helped me, but also my brother-in-law. Now that he has remarried after many years of losing his wife, I should give him a gift."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the entourage who came with him put several boxes of objects in the courtyard.
Shi Qingruo glanced around and saw that they were all cloth, brocade, gold, silver and jade.
At first glance, it was indeed a valuable gift for the newlyweds.
But Lei Sun's words were definitely not what a person who sincerely gave a gift should say!
Everyone in Bianjing City knew that even Shi Qingruo had been told by Ren Guishen that one of the results of Guan Qi's injury in the duel was Lei Zhenyu's death. Lei Sun lost an opponent to compete for the position of the chief hall master of the Six and a Half Hall. It was not an exaggeration to say that this was a favor to Lei Sun, but if you say so, it sounds more sarcastic.
Lei Sun called Guan Qi his brother-in-law, which was more like a joke.
Sister Guan had been missing for many years and had never officially become the wife of the chief hall master of the Six and a Half Hall. I'm afraid she had already been killed by Lei Sun. Then this in-law relationship was in name only!
As for the sentence "remarry after losing your wife for many years", it was more like a sentence that wanted to drive people crazy.
With Guan Qi's current mind, he might not understand this sentence, but Shi Qingruo could still clearly feel that her wrist was tense for a moment, as if Guan Qi's instinct was responding to Lei Sun's words.
He was angry.
Shi Qingruo immediately spoke first: "Master Lei knows how to repay kindness. He knows that the wedding of the Mitian League is not lively enough, so he has sent gifts one after another. When the Six-and-a-half Hall holds the wedding in the future, I will go to congratulate you with my seventh brother. I hope you will not refuse us at that time."
"It's just that today's wedding is hasty, so I don't have time to reminisce with Master Lei ."
Lei Sun's cold expression paused.
Lu Xiaofeng was not a party to this conversation, and he didn't need to care about his image in the negotiation, so he almost couldn't help laughing.
Miss Shi's words of "knowing how to repay kindness" in response to Lei Sun's thanks undoubtedly confirmed the grievances in the early years.
But this matter is not only a great shame for the Mitian League, but also a great misfortune for those who followed Lei Zhenyu back then.
Who knows what these people think when this conversation spreads.
Furthermore, the assassination on the long street was described by Shi Qingruo as a show of excitement, and it was also a step on Lei Sun's wound.
As for the future happy event of Liufenbantang...
Is this in response to Guan Qi's marriage, wishing Lei Zongtang Master to find a confidant again, or is it implying the marriage between Liufenbantang and Jinfengxiyulou that is destined to have no results?
At least in Shi Qingruo's calm eyes, there is no clue at all.
She waved her hand, and the attendants standing by came closer.
"Why don't you let people see seats for Lei Zongtang Master and Di Datang Master? Don't let it be spread out that we treat our guests poorly, and remember to see them off later."
The attendants responded repeatedly, and quickly sent two large chairs over.
Lei Sun raised his eyebrows.
The obedient appearance of these people can't help but make people surprised. In the Mitian League, how much say has this Saint Lord's wife, who suddenly appeared, already gained?
But if you really count it...
Shi Qingruo put down her hood again, hiding a sneer at the corner of her lips.
These obedient followers officially regarded her as their superior for only half a quarter of an hour, and they also had to thank Su Mengzhen for keeping his promise and really handing over the people from the Jinfengxiyu Tower in the Mitian League to her.
But she also knew that if she couldn't give a satisfactory answer, these people would become her enemies at any time.
But now, the significance of their existence to Shi Qingruo is probably much greater than Su Mengzhen thought!
She hurriedly sorted out her thoughts, and then she heard the ceremonial officer chanting loudly-
"Worship the ancestors of heaven and earth-"
She took a deep breath, and bowed down with Guan Qi.
...
"What kind of person do you think she is?" Lei Sun asked the person next to him in a deep voice.
He hadn't seen Guan Qi for many years, so when he saw him today, he felt indescribably strange.
Perhaps it was because of this unfamiliarity that he did not feel too surprised when he saw that Guan Qi did not draw her sword against him, but was restrained by someone.
But after a moment of understanding, he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
He knew what kind of person Guan Qi was back then.
If this woman who suddenly appeared could tame Guan Qi, who knows how far she can go next!
So he must not only not take it lightly, but also let his best observation person make a serious judgment on her.
There seemed to be no shadow left by the previous confrontation in his expression, but Di Feijing could hear that the words Lei Sun said next were no less solemn than the orders issued during the confrontation with Jinfengxiyu Tower.
"You don't have to give me an answer today, but I want you to use your eyes to see her details clearly. In any case, I don't want us to fail her a second time."
Di Feijing still lowered his head, but slowly raised his clear eyes, reflecting a blood-red joy.
"Yes."
He would see clearly.
For example, he could see at this moment that in this sea of crimson, this bright red flying flower was affecting more than just Guan Qi's mood.
He could also see that the layout that Liufenbantang had previously made in Mitian League had to start all over again because of this variable.
But it was strange that although the world gave him a beautiful name of "Looking at each other in old age without knowing each other, the world only has Di Feijing", he could not see what purpose Shi Qingruo had in joining this muddy water.
He also could not see -
when the guests left one after another, Shi Qingruo, holding the wedding dress that had not been changed, stood in the corridor of the backyard of Mitian League, looking at the stars in the night sky, and was absent-minded for a while. When she
heard the sound of the night watch outside, she suddenly raised her hand and waved to the lantern beside her.
A soft palm wind instantly blew out the candle in the lantern on the spot.
Shi Qingruo looked at Guan Qi at the end of the corridor and curled her lips childishly, "Seventh brother, look, the wind is blowing."
