Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu took the lead to walk out of the branch of Taiping Inn and directly ordered: "Get ready to take action. You lead people to eliminate the beggar gang in Beicheng without letting anyone go. Then start sorting out the relevant evidence of Gao Mingyin. This case has been delayed for too long. It's time to end."

"Here." Wang Chongnian responded.

Qi Xuansu asked: "I'm going out of the city. Can you ask where I want to find out?"

Wang Chongnian sent a drawing: "Let's ask about it."

Qi Xuansu took the drawing: "Very good."

Qi Xuansu signaled Wang Chongnian and others to leave first. He himself opened the drawing, browsed it generally, and remembered the route above.

After a while, Gao Mingyin also went downstairs, and saw Qi Xuansu standing alone outside the building, with a humble smile on his face again: "Master Qi, walk slowly."

Qi Xuansu smiled: "Master Gao, let your people prepare to take action. After passing this village, there is no such store. If I hide in the Jade Palace and cannot come out, can you still force my way in?"

Qi Xuansu was not surprised that Gao Mingyin dared to kill him. After all, Gao Mingyin also had a backer behind him. As long as Gao Mingyin did it cleanly, without leaving any clues or evidence, then the big shot behind him would be able to legitimately protect him. After all, this is The Imperial Capital is not the Jade Capital. The Imperial Palace is just one of the many forces in the Imperial Capital, and it cannot be said to cover the sky with one hand.

Master Donghua and Master Cihang are of course very powerful, but they are too far away from the Imperial Capital. One is based in the south of the Yangtze River and the other is in the northwest. They are beyond reach. Without evidence or other legitimate reasons, they cannot directly reach out to the Imperial Capital. It would have been about the same if it had been Qingwei Zhenren from Jinshui Tower. Unfortunately, Qi Xuansu had little friendship with Qingwei Zhenren, and maybe they still had some grudges.

In Gao Mingyin's view, it would be best to lead Qi Xuansu out of the Jade Palace through peace talks, but it would also be the best opportunity for assassination if there was no peace talks. It could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Because of this, the first reaction of experienced Taoist Wang Chongnian was the Hongmen Night Banquet.

Qi Xuansu also expected this, so he told Gao Mingyin that this opportunity was given to Gao Mingyin. If he refused this meeting, then Gao Mingyin would not only have nothing to say, but he would also fight to the death. There will be no chance, and we can only think about how to cut off the wrist of a strong man.

The reason why Qi Xuansu came to see Gao Mingyin was because everything he had done before was to force Gao Mingyin to take the initiative and lure the snake out of its hole.

As for the dangers, there are naturally some, but for Qi Xuansu, they are not dangerous. Firstly, this is the Imperial City, and secondly, Qi Xuansu is confident enough, especially after defeating Qi Jianyuan and Zhao Fuan one after another, Qi Xuansu has confidence in his own strength. There are probably a few of them, and they are considered to be the best among the celestial beings in the free stage. After all, there are only a few immortals and semi-immortals.

If Gao Mingyin is not fooled, and Oogway takes the blame to the end, or if he really pleads guilty and commits suicide, his vitality will be severely damaged at most, but he may not lose his life. He may still have a chance to make a comeback, just like a big tree being cut in half. The roots are still there, this is what Qi Xuansu calls dignity.

If Gao Mingyin couldn't help but fight to the death, it would give Qi Xuansu the opportunity to put Gao Mingyin to death, which would be equivalent to uprooting the entire tree, which would be dishonorable.

As for why it is not harming the family, there is no such thing as this. You can't just enjoy the wealth and power when Gao Mingyin is prosperous, and then when Gao Mingyin's case is revealed, you can just cut off the throne and say that you are innocent. I want all the benefits and have no responsibility at all. There is no such thing as a good thing.

It has always been a case of prosperity for both sides and loss for both sides.

Qi Xuansu's attitude naturally gave Gao Mingyin a lot of doubts, and the expression on his face couldn't help but froze, but he had to fire the arrow on the string. He had no other way out at this time, so he just responded and turned around to get on the carriage.

The journey from Haosheng Southeast Fang to Xuanshang North Fang will be particularly dangerous. After all, the inner city is not an imperial city. For heavenly beings, it cannot be said to be heavily guarded. There are many opportunities for action.

However, Qi Xuansu had no intention of returning to Xuan Shang Beifang, but turned around and walked towards Nancheng.

It was just getting dark at this time, and it was far from curfew.

Except for special festivals such as the Three Yuan Festival, Imperial Capital generally implements a "curfew" system. It is stipulated that the evening drum should be sounded at three o'clock in the first watch to prohibit travel, and the morning bell should be sounded at three o'clock in the fifth watch before travel is allowed. Those who walk on the street during the second, third and fourth watch shall be given fifty lashes; those who break the night ban after the first watch and shortly before the fifth watch shall be given 40 lashes. Illness, childbirth, death and mourning can pass.

A night is divided into five equal parts. In Western time, the first watch is from nineteen o'clock to twenty-one, the second watch is from twenty-one to twenty-three o'clock, and so on. The fifth watch is three o'clock in the morning. to five o'clock.

Each watch is divided into five points, one point is equal to twenty-four Western minutes, and the first watch is three o'clock, which is twenty-twelve minutes in the evening. Five to three o'clock is four to twelve in the morning.

The nightly curfew does not hinder the lives of ordinary people very much, but for some industries, it is a big problem. For example, if a prostitute goes out to attend a church party at night, she will be in trouble when she returns home. In addition, gambling houses are strictly prohibited by law, so gamblers mostly gather to gamble at night to avoid being noticed. Often when gambling is late at night, gamblers who have lost all their money have to go home. However, there is a curfew in the city and no passage is allowed. Gamblers had no choice but to take detours, walk into smelly ponds, or cross into wilderness. Even if you do this, you will be stopped and questioned by the night watchman or the man in black who leads the patrol, and the secret will inevitably be revealed.

Qi Xuansu glanced at his pocket watch. It was 19:30 Western time, and there was still some time before the curfew. After the curfew started, watchmen and men in black from the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division would patrol the streets.

For Qi Xuansu, it was enough.

Qi Xuansu walked leisurely, just slightly faster than ordinary people walking on foot. So when he came to the city gate at the junction of Haosheng Southeast Square and Nancheng, it was already close to the curfew. Although the city gate was not closed yet, There are no more pedestrians.

However, there are no guards guarding the gate here, only one person standing there.

This person is dressed in coarse linen clothes, and his face should be wearing a mask similar to a "white fox face", which obscures his original appearance. He has his hands behind his back and has a strong aura.

A true heavenly being.

Qi Xuansu stopped.

At the same time, another woman appeared behind him, wearing a curtain hat known as "shallow exposure", which also covered her appearance and was dressed in plain clothes.

He is also a true heavenly being.

It is certainly not a coincidence that two heavenly beings appeared here at the same time and blocked Qi Xuansu one after another.

Qi Xuansu didn't panic at all, and calmly said: "This is a big deal, you two have made a lot of money, right? If it weren't for the future, I would have accepted a business like this."

Qi Xuansu said this sincerely. He had only made a thousand Taiping money when he ran all the way from Longmen Mansion in Zhongzhou to Bohai Mansion in Zhili. These two people could get at least fifty thousand Taiping money from this transaction.

But having said that, taking action in the Imperial Capital involves huge risks, so this number cannot be considered too much.

The man in sackcloth laughed loudly and said: "As expected of Master Qi, who has become famous recently. His calm and leisurely Qi-nurturing skills alone are better than those who used to have countless wine bags and rice bags. But I don't know whether Master Qi is forcing himself to be calm at this time? Or is he full of confidence? Woolen cloth?"

Qi Xuansu raised his hand and took out the horizontal knife: "Don't you know if you try it?"

Before he finished speaking, Qi Xuansu had already turned around and rushed towards the woman in the curtain hat behind him.

He has four major inheritances and can clearly sense that the man in front of him has strong qi and blood to the extent that "the whole body is like running fire", and he is a martial artist, while the woman behind him has withered and weak qi and blood, and has no true energy flowing, so she is an alchemist.

Even the celestial alchemists are extremely afraid of close combat with other inheritors, especially the close combat of warriors. But once the alchemist distances them, they can easily be eaten alive.

If Qi Xuansu was entangled by the warrior from the front, and an alchemist controlled and harassed her from a distance, Qi Xuansu would be at a disadvantage, so Qi Xuansu directly chose to try to get close to the female alchemist.

In fact, Qi Xuansu was also restricted in taking action in the Imperial Capital, because he could not use the "magic knife" unscrupulously. If he completely lost control and went on a killing spree, his life would be ruined. He would either commit suicide and apologize, or he would be a vicious secret society demon for the rest of his life. .

The "magic knife" that has been tried briefly is almost meaningless after all.

In the blink of an eye, Qi Xuansu had arrived three feet in front of the female alchemist, but the female alchemist also threw out a paper man and pointed towards the paper man: "Where is the strongman?"

Rays of golden light bloomed from the paper man, and then the wind blew on the ground. The paper man turned into a military general, with a face like ruby, a beard like soap velvet, a foot tall, wearing golden armor, wrapped with ribbons, and a golden sun hanging behind him. Ring, shining with glow.

This is the "Yellow Turban Warriors" of Taiping Dao. When the Taiping Dao uprising broke out, it was said that "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian must stand." Everyone wrapped their heads in yellow scarves, so they got the name "Yellow Turban Warriors".

Qi Xuansu struck with a sword, and the "Yellow Turban Warrior" wielded his hammers. Although he barely blocked the sword, his whole body was shaken, and the golden light of his armor suddenly dimmed.

With as many as three swords or as few as two swords, Qi Xuansu could destroy this "Yellow Turban Warrior", but the warrior did not give Qi Xuansu this chance. He kicked suddenly, and the bluestone ground under his feet shattered, and his figure suddenly accelerated. He caught up with Qi Xuansu and punched Qi Xuansu in the back of the head.

Qi Xuansu relied on his "Magic Sword" intuition to save time to react, turned to the right side and just avoided the punch.

Almost at the same time, Qi Xuansu took out the "dragon-painting gun" in his left hand, pointed the mouth of the gun upwards, and fired two guns in a row.

When hit from the front at close range, it was still "Dragon Eyes Yiyi". Even a celestial warrior would rise directly to the sky under the huge impact, with his feet at least three feet off the ground.

Qi Xuansu, who was in the shallow "Magic Sword" state, managed to avoid the sky thunder attracted by the female alchemist again, and the ground around him was scorched black.

If Qi Xuansu was just a Sanren in the Celestial Stage, even if he practiced the "Magic Sword", his intuition would be able to keep up, but his physical body would not be able to keep up. However, Qi Xuansu now has the physique of a Celestial Warrior, even though he has no body and spirit, he is inferior to a complete martial artist. , but after the blessing of true energy, it is enough for Qi Xuansu's body to form a perfect cooperation with the intuition of the "Magic Sword".
