After a long time, Dongfang Bubai's gaze fell on the last page.
When those beautiful eyes took in the last few words, Dongfang Bubai's hand holding the manuscript suddenly trembled.
“They’re all dead?”
After the voice full of astonishment, Dongfang Bubai's expression became even more gloomy in an instant. As anger filled the air, true energy burst out from Dongfang Bubai's body.
On the other hand, Sang Sanniang and other disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect, feeling the obvious anger of Dongfang Bubai at this moment, their heartbeats paused and they lowered their heads unconsciously.
However, as they lowered their heads, Sang Sanniang and the others couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts.
"Who died?"
Then, with anger filling his heart, Dongfang Bubai looked up at Qian Zaisun and the others below.
With his eyes half closed, Dongfang Bubai's body appeared in front of Qian Zaisun and others like a ghost, leaving a blood-red afterimage, and his palms fell on the heads of Qian Zaisun and another elder next to him respectively.
"boom!"
With these two muffled sounds, powerful palm power and true energy instantly penetrated through the palms and fell on the heads of the two men, destroying their lives.
After killing the two men, Dongfang Bubai did not stop his actions at all.
The palm moves with the body, and every time the blood-red palm falls, it will take someone's life.
Dozens of breaths later, the hundred people who betrayed Dongfang Bubai were all killed by Dongfang Bubai himself, and only then did Dongfang Bubai return to the golden throne on the high platform.
After venting his anger, Dongfang Bubai felt that the breath he had been holding in his chest had been slightly relieved.
After glancing at the hundreds of corpses nearby, all the elders couldn't help but twitch their eyelids.
In the past, Dongfang Bubai was ruthless when facing enemies or traitors in the sect.
But this was the first time that he personally killed more than a hundred people one by one, like today.
This shows how strong the murderous intent in Dongfang Bubai's heart was at that time.
It is absolutely unprecedented.
Therefore, after taking their eyes away from the corpses on the ground, Tong Baixiong, Bao Dachu and other elders of relatively high status in the Sun and Moon Sect who were standing under the platform all looked at Sang Sanniang and gestured repeatedly.
Taking the signals from elders such as Tong Baixiong and Bao Dachu into consideration, Sang Sanniang cursed inwardly.
"These old idiots always push me forward every time the leader gets angry. Sooner or later, I will have to tie you up one by one and beat you with a whip."
But she had previously presided over the interrogation of Qian Zaisun and others, and now the matter was not over yet, so Sang Sanniang did not dare to remain silent.
She carefully raised her head and glanced at Dongfang Bubai. When she saw that his expression had eased a little, Sang Sanniang felt relieved.
Then he raised his head slightly and bowed, saying, "Master, Qian Zaisun and the other traitors don't know anything about Ren Woxing. What should we do now?"
Listening to what Sang Sanniang said, Dongfang Bubai snorted coldly, then raised his hand and waved it lightly, saying: "Except the elders, everyone else go out."
As the voice echoed in the hall, the disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect below responded in unison.
"I obey your command."
Seeing thousands of people shouting in unison, if it was Qu Feiyan standing here, she would probably have put her hands on her hips and raised her head high.
After the ordinary disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect in the hall left, Dongfang Bubai turned his attention to Sang Sanniang and others and spoke slowly.
"Ren Woxing is a piece of trash. He was used by this leader to lure out Qian Zaisun and the others. Even though Ren Woxing ran away this time, it wasn't a waste of effort to catch these guys."
Tong Baixiong said, "However, after this incident, Qian Zaisun and other people related to Ren Woxing have all been dealt with by the leader. I am worried that Ren Woxing will be desperate and will cooperate with the Five Mountains Sword Sect."
Of course, as the former leader of the Sun Moon Sect, Ren Woxing had killed countless disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, but the world is bustling with people seeking profit.
As long as the conditions are met, how can there be any eternal enemies?
As a powerful master, if Ren Woxing joins the Five Mountains Sword Sect, it would be a trouble in Tong Baixiong's opinion.
However, facing what Tong Baixiong said, Dongfang Bubai sneered in his heart and said slowly: "Over the years, as the Songshan Sect has grown, Zuo Lengchan's ambition has grown day by day. In addition, the Songshan Sect is backed by the East Factory, and has plundered a lot of benefits from the Huashan Sect and other four sects in recent years. The Huashan Sect and the other four sects, including the Hengshan Sect, have long been angry. We can just wait until the Five Mountains Sword Sect has consumed itself and then wipe them out. There is no need to pay attention to them."
"In comparison, I am more curious about Ren Woxing. Judging from Ren Woxing's style, he must have been planning to come to Black Wood Cliff after he had already arrived in Longyue City next to Black Wood Cliff. But he changed his mind just before leaving. This is definitely not a coincidence."
In the martial arts world, enemies that appear in the open are not scary.
What worries us most are always those hiding in the dark.
Therefore, after a moment of silence, Dongfang Bubai said, "Take some people to check and see who Ren Woxing had contact with after entering Longyue City."
Sang Sanniang and a group of elders from the Sun and Moon Sect quickly bowed in response.
"I obey your command."
Dongfang Bubai withdrew his gaze from the group of people in front of him and turned it to the manuscripts of the storybooks on the golden throne.
After thinking for a while, Dongfang Bubai suddenly said, "Sang Sanniang, you stay."
Hearing Dongfang Bubai's voice, Sang Sanniang, who had just turned around and was about to walk outside with Tong Baixiong and other elders, immediately became motionless as if her feet had taken root.
After a few breaths, the elders who were standing by and thought that it would be better for me to die than for my fellow Taoist to die took a few quick steps to distance themselves from them. Sang Sanniang cursed inwardly, then slowly turned around, bent her body and waited.
When only Dongfang Bubai and Sang Sanniang were left in the hall, Dongfang Bubai suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the long red cloth hanging on both sides of the golden throne.
As the true energy passed by, a piece of the long red cloth was instantly cut off and sucked into Dongfang Bubai's hand.
After wrapping the manuscript in red cloth, Dongfang Bubai threw it to Sang Sanniang.
After Sang Sanniang took the wrapped manuscript, Dongfang Bubai said, "You should hurry to Yushui City and deliver this to Chu Qinghe."
After hearing what Dongfang Bubai had ordered, Sang Sanniang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when Sang Sanniang bowed and prepared to leave, Dongfang Bubai suddenly said, "Remember, you are not allowed to force your way into Chu Qinghe's yard, and you are not allowed to use any martial arts against the people in that yard."
Although she didn't understand why Dongfang Bubai made this request, Sang Sanniang still quickly agreed.
At this point, Dongfang Bubai waved his hand gently.
After Sang Sanniang left, Dongfang Bubai's mouth curled up as he thought about the reaction of Yao Yue, the big-breasted and brainless woman, after she finished reading the manuscript.
I felt inexplicably relieved.
…
In the afternoon, after finishing his meal, Chu Qinghe stood up and moved around a bit, then said hello to Yao Yue and the other two girls and walked outside.
When Chu Qinghe walked out of the yard, he found that there was a pair of eyes staring at his back at the kitchen door.
It was not until the sound of the door opening and closing reached her ears that Qu Feiyan returned to Yaoyue and Xiaozhao.
After quickly washing the dishes, Qu Feiyan was the first to rush out of the kitchen.
When Yaoyue and Xiaozhao came out, they saw Qu Feiyan walking out with some manuscripts in her arms.
After putting all the manuscripts in his arms, Qu Feiyan circulated his internal energy, jumped up, and his body immediately moved towards the entrance of the inner courtyard.
However, when Qu Feiyan's body was still in the air, a special suction force came, and Qu Feiyan's body in the air paused for a moment, and then was pulled directly to Yao Yue's side.
This familiar feeling made Qu Feiyan look at Yao Yue beside her immediately.
After taking a look at Qu Feiyan's arms, Yao Yue asked, "Why are you taking this thing out?"
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan laughed and said, "I just think that the story you wrote is too sad. I want to take it to a bookstore in the city and ask the owner of the bookstore to print and sell it, so that more people can read it."
Looking at the cunning in Qu Feiyan's eyes, Yao Yue knew very well what Qu Feiyan was thinking at the moment.
But he wanted to spread the sadness brought by Chu Qinghe's words to thousands of families.
Qu Feiyan was very excited at this time. After explaining the reason for leaving, she said proudly: "I have thought of a name for the storybook you write. It's called 'The Arsonist of the Heart'."
"Heart arsonist?"
Hearing the strange name Qu Feiyan gave Chu Qinghe, Yao Yue looked suspicious.
But he immediately remembered these words, which were exactly what Chu Qinghe mentioned in the script.
Then, thinking of Chu Qinghe's handsome face, Yao Yue nodded and said, "The name fits the person."
After understanding Qu Feiyan's intention, Yao Yue frowned slightly.
This story was written by Yao Yue after she gave Chu Qinghe a topic. Although Yao Yue was not very satisfied with the sad plot in the second half of the story, it did not prevent Yao Yue from valuing the story.
To Yaoyue, sharing one's things with others without any reason is something that she does not like.
But at this moment, looking at Qu Feiyan's eyes which were still a little swollen from tossing and turning dozens of times in the morning, Yao Yue suddenly had an idea.
Then he raised his palm slightly and his five fingers formed a claw.
When the true energy fluctuations flashed by, a suction force immediately pulled the manuscripts in Qu Feiyan's arms into Yao Yue's hands.
"I'll go!"
Seeing that Yao Yue was actually willing to go to the bookstore on her own initiative, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but reveal some doubts on her face.
But it’s not a big deal. Since Yao Yue is willing, Qu Feiyan naturally won’t mind.
He immediately nodded.
Afterwards, holding the manuscript of the storybook, Yao Yue floated out like a kite , seemingly slowly but actually very fast.
But in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of the two women.
However, after Yao Yue left Chu Qinghe's yard, she did not go to the bookstores in the city that sold storybooks, but walked to the south of the city.
After waiting for more than ten breaths, more than ten disciples of Yihua Palace quickly moved over from a distance and knelt on one knee about three steps away from Yaoyue.
"Grand Palace Master!"
Facing these dozen disciples of Yihua Palace, Yao Yue raised her hand and threw the manuscript in her hand to the leading disciple of Yihua Palace, floating in front of the disciple of Yihua Palace.
At the same time, Yao Yue's cold and aloof voice slowly sounded.
"You should copy down the contents of this manuscript together, and then go to the bookstore in this city, have the book printed quickly and sold to various places. At the same time, send a copy of the book to Dongfang Bubai at Blackwood Cliff and say that it was sent by me."
It has to be said that when people get along with each other for a long time, they will eventually develop some tacit understanding.
Just like Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue at this moment.
What we think and do are inexplicably similar.
They all want to bring sadness to the other person and keep happiness for themselves.
"Also, wait until you finish copying the manuscript and return it. If the manuscript is damaged in the slightest, you will be punished at Baihuatan."
When Yao Yue mentioned Baihuatan, all the disciples of Yihua Palace trembled slightly and quickly responded, "Disciples obey your command."
Only after these Yihua Palace disciples left did Yao Yue turn around and return to the courtyard.
Seeing Yao Yue returning to the courtyard, Qu Feiyan, who had just come out with a pot of wine, said in astonishment: "Sister Yue, you've finished it so quickly?"
While walking slowly towards the courtyard, Yao Yue said calmly: "It's just a trivial matter, why do you have to do it yourself?"
At this time, Qu Feiyan came to realize that her identity and Yao Yue's were not the same.
…
West of the city.
As Chu Qinghe entered the shoemaker's shop and took the black high-heeled shoes that the craftsman had specially made for him, the moment Chu Qinghe stepped out of the shop, the black box in his hand instantly turned into another wooden box.
Then, holding the wooden box containing the black jade silk, Chu Qinghe slowly walked towards the tailor shop.
When he entered the shop, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw Chu Qinghe, and he immediately came forward to greet him.
As they walked, the owner of the tailor shop said with a smile on his face: "Young Master, you are really punctual!"
After nodding slightly to the shopkeeper of the tailor shop, Chu Qinghe said, "I wonder if the shopkeeper has finished making the two Liuxian skirts I ordered earlier?"
The tailor shop owner responded, "It was just finished this morning. Sir, please take a seat first. I will go get it now."
After inviting Chu Qinghe to sit aside and serving him hot tea, the owner of the tailor shop began to leave quickly.
When he came back, the owner of the tailor shop was followed by two people, each holding a short wooden tray with a set of clothes neatly placed on it.
When he walked to Chu Qinghe's side, the owner of the tailor shop leaned over and said, "Sir, take a look. Is there anything you are dissatisfied with?"
As he was talking, the owner of the tailor shop brought over two human-shaped wooden frames from the side, and then placed the two Liuxian skirts on the frames for Chu Qinghe to inspect.
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe took a few steps closer and began to observe the two Liuxian skirts of the same style.
After confirming that the style and some of the special patterns on it were the same as she required, she touched it again and felt the material of the Liuxian skirt.
While Chu Qinghe was inspecting the room, the owner of the tailor shop next to him also said, "When these two pieces of clothing were made this morning, I carefully checked them several times. After all, you know, young master, craftsmen are in a hurry and will inevitably be a little careless. Fortunately, I paid a lot of money, and the two sets of Liuxian skirts made by those craftsmen are flawless, not even a single thread is left."
After carefully checking it twice, touching the Liuxian skirt and feeling the touch on his hands, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
After all, it is something from the Song Dynasty, so it is indeed good.
In this world, the Song Dynasty is located in the center of the five countries. The Ming Dynasty where Chu Qinghe is located is located to the north of the Song Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is located to the east of the Song Dynasty. The three countries all have bordering areas.
To the west of the Song Dynasty was the Qin Dynasty, and below it was the Yuan Dynasty.
Therefore, the Song Dynasty was in an awkward situation of being surrounded by four countries.
In the early years, the Song Dynasty was a country with strong military power and was fearless. However, in recent years, treacherous ministers have been in power in the court, and the national power has gradually weakened. The overall strength is moving towards the direction of the Yuan Dynasty.
In addition, the Sui Dynasty was incompetent, the Qin Dynasty was dominated by seven kingdoms, and the Yuan Dynasty was also in civil strife. The Song Dynasty only needed to guard against one powerful enemy, the Ming Dynasty.
However, with the destruction of the Sui Dynasty in the previous two years, the establishment of the Tang Dynasty by the Li family, and the Qin Emperor having just destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the Qin Dynasty , the position of the Song Dynasty suddenly became more embarrassing.
Although the other three countries are eyeing the Song Dynasty covetously and want to bite off this piece of fat meat, fortunately, there are several other countries also watching secretly.
In addition, over the years, the royal family of the Song Dynasty would send some money to other neighboring countries every year to help them avoid disasters. Although the Song Dynasty was not able to win big battles in recent years, it did have some experience in being beaten, and each battle could be dragged out for a very long time.
Due to all these conditions, it was difficult for the other four countries to take action against the Song Dynasty for a while, and they could barely be considered to be at peace.
It is because of this unique geographical advantage that the Song Dynasty's trade is ranked first among the five countries.
Even in the city of Yu Shui, merchants from the Song Dynasty can often be seen.
Otherwise, Chu Qinghe would not have specifically asked for Song Jin before.
After carefully checking it several times, Chu Qinghe nodded with satisfaction, then opened his other wooden box, revealing the black jade silk inside.
"Next, I'll trouble the shopkeeper to sew these into the Liuxian skirt and paint those things on it according to my previous request."
The owner of the tailor shop nodded.
After all, we are businessmen! After doing this for a long time, we will encounter customers with various requests.
Although requests like Chu Qinghe's current one are rare, the owner of this tailor shop has encountered them before.
However, at this moment, Chu Qinghe in the shop suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction outside the shop, muttering: "Haven't you left yet?"
Afterwards, when the owner of the tailor shop was about to reach out for the wooden box, Chu Qinghe turned around and raised his hand to grab the owner's hand.
The sudden movement caused the owner of the tailor shop nearby to stiffen instantly.
