Chapter 103 End of Night
Chapter 103 End of Night
"Alliance Leader Fang...it's night time now, are you out for a stroll?"
Cao Qiupu took a step forward and clasped his fists.
"It turned out to be Hero Cao."
Fang Tianrui first met with Cao Qiupu, then his eyes fell on Chu Qing, looking at the blood on his body, and said in a deep voice:
"I've met the Third Young Master."
Today during the day, Du Hanyan called Chu Qing in public.
Fang Tianrui also kept it in mind.
Chu Qing nodded slightly, indicating that he had met her before.
Fang Tianrui looked past Chu Qing and at the people behind him, and sighed softly:
“The chaos tonight was within my expectations.
“After all, the preparations we made were not enough, and they still suffered as a result.
"Thanks to the help of Hero Cao and the Third Young Master, so many people were saved."
"Alliance Leader Fang, are you really here for them?"
Chu Qing raised his eyes slightly, and his indifferent gaze fell on Fang Tianrui.
Fang Tianrui shook his head:
“Naturally, it’s not just that…
"In addition to the common people, I intend to get my hands on the Divine Sword Hall!"
Chu Qing smiled:
"Alliance Master Fang is very honest."
“Today, Jiang Shendao and Luo Cheng both died at the hands of Ye Di, so Shendao Hall is a piece of fat meat.
"Although Fang has sympathy for the people, he will not turn a blind eye to such a big piece of fat meat."
Fang Tianrui Langsheng said:
"You are all people with discerning eyes. If I try to hide something, it will only make you look down on me.
"Besides, I hope you can lend me a helping hand."
"Alliance Leader Fang's words...are really puzzling."
Biancheng smiled:
"It seems that we have never belonged to the Yiqi League. Why should we lend you a helping hand?"
"Because my Yiqi League is now the most suitable to take over the Divine Sword Hall!"
Fang Tianrui's tone was filled with a sense of "who else but me?"
“The Divine Sword Hall is adjacent to the Tingtao Pavilion, but there are many conflicts between the Tingtao Pavilion and the Feiyun Valley.
“If we give the Divine Sword Hall to the Tingtao Pavilion, they won’t have the time to come and take care of it for a while.
“Even if we send some people over, it will be difficult to deter the four directions, and we will inevitably be swallowed up by others. But in this way, the people will have to suffer from the war in the rivers and lakes again.
“But my Yiqi League is different. After taking over the Divine Sword Hall, I will personally take charge, stabilize the overall situation, resettle the people, and deter all parties from making any rash moves.
“As long as the fight between Tingtao Pavilion and Feiyun Valley continues, they dare not attack me.
"As for the others...please forgive me for being frank, they can only cause trouble for me tonight. After tonight, they will have no chance again.
"Therefore, if the Divine Sword Hall falls into my hands, I will stabilize the situation as quickly as possible."
Chu Qing looked at Fang Tianrui for a long time before saying:
"Why should I help you?"
"Although I can make you a promise, but... the most important thing tonight is not what I can promise you."
Fang Tianrui held the iron spear and pointed it at the people behind Chu Qing:
“The most important thing is them.
“If you help me, I can suppress the chaos in Divine Sword City as quickly as possible and prevent innocent people from being killed by the lunatics.
“Of course, if you are unwilling, Fang will not force you.
"You may come and go as you please."
Fang Tianrui's words were frank enough. He did not hide his ambitions, and he explained the interests clearly.
Although ambitious, he is not annoying.
Bian Cheng glanced at Chu Qing and asked what he meant. Cao Qiupu did not speak but looked at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing did not hesitate:
"Okay, let me help you."
Fang Tianrui was overjoyed:
"Thank you for your help, Third Young Master! Fang Tianrui will remember this great favor in his heart and will definitely repay you in the future."
Chu Qing waved his hand:
"Stop talking nonsense and act quickly."
"it is good."
Fang Tianrui nodded:
"Then let the people behind you follow my people and leave. I have set up a resettlement area, which is guarded by my men. Ordinary martial artists cannot break in, and the extraordinary ones dare not break in easily."
Chu Qing didn't hesitate, turned around and asked everyone to follow Fang Tianrui's men to leave.
These people also understood that they actually had no right to choose, and the Yiqi League seemed to be very powerful, so it should be safe to follow them.
He immediately followed the disciples of the Yiqi League and walked towards the opposite side.
But when the old man holding the child passed by Chu Qing, he suddenly knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to Chu Qing:
"Thank you for saving my life!!"
He started the conversation, and other people followed suit, and in a short while, they were all kneeling on the ground.
Chu Qing wanted to help the old man up, but in the blink of an eye, he realized that he couldn't do it.
Everyone knelt down and thanked the hero with gratitude on their faces, but there was no smugness in Chu Qing's eyes.
He doesn't think of himself as a hero.
Although he killed Jiang Shendao, Luo Cheng, and Qi Guan, he had a clear conscience.
However, this group of people are cruel and vicious, treating the people like pigs, dogs and ants. They are all birds of a feather and deserve to be put to death.
But if they were still there, the incident in Divine Sword City tonight would not have happened, at least not immediately.
However, Chu Qing also knew that this was a very stubborn idea.
The Divine Sword Hall has too many problems, and they did not arise overnight.
Even if Jiang Shendao gave up the Chaos God Sword, the Shendao Hall was in a state of disarray and its defeat was only a matter of time.
By then, the scene that happened tonight will still be staged.
He took a deep breath and looked at Fang Tianrui:
"It's time to leave."
"it is good."
Fang Tianrui agreed, and the battle continued.
In the end, the sounds of screaming and fighting continued all night long. Chu Qing helped Fang Tianrui rescue the people and kill the maniacs who slaughtered ordinary people.
The battle lasted a long time. Halfway through, Chu Qing asked Bian Cheng and Mo Duxing to send Wen Rou back.
He, Cao Qiupu, and Fang Tianrui's Yiqi League rushed into the Divine Sword Hall.
By the time they had completely subdued the Divine Sword Hall, daybreak had already appeared in the east.
The fighting that night finally ended.
When Chu Qing once again walked out of the Divine Sword Hall and came to the street, all he saw was a scene of desolation.
Fang Tianrui's voice came from behind:
“The Jianghu has been in turmoil for many years, and it is always the common people who suffer.
"Those who practice martial arts are much stronger than ordinary people...A random master can make them powerless to resist and take whatever they want."
Chu Qing stretched out his hand, and a misty drizzle began to fall without him noticing.
He said softly:
"Alliance Leader Fang is now happy and has taken over the Divine Sword Hall. The Righteous Alliance will also be at its peak.
"But Alliance Leader Fang, you must remember what you promised me.
“Resettle these people properly and don’t let them suffer this kind of pain any longer.
"if not……"
He slightly turned the sword in his hand, and the unfinished words were clearly heard.
Fang Tianrui nodded seriously:
"Please rest assured, Third Young Master. Fang Tianrui is willing to do anything in his life, but he will never break his promise."
"it is good."
Chu Qing nodded:
"I'll go back and rest for a while. I'll leave Shendao City at noon today."
Fang Tianrui hesitated for a moment and said:
“The Third Young Master’s martial arts are unparalleled, and his demeanor last night was something that made people yearn for it.
“More importantly, you are chivalrous and compassionate.
"May I ask, Third Young Master, are you willing to work with me?
"Fang Tianrui is willing to grant the position of deputy leader to the Third Young Master. In the alliance, you are the most important person besides me." Chu Qing shook his head.
"I have no intention of doing this. Thank you, Master Fang, for your kindness."
"Well, a gentleman does not force others to do things that are difficult for him."
Fang Tianrui clasped his fists and said:
"Please make yourself at your own convenience, Third Young Master."
After saying this, he bowed to Cao Qiupu again, then turned around and went back into the Divine Sword Hall.
Cao Qiupu withdrew his gaze from Fang Tianrui and looked at Chu Qing:
"Third Young Master, are you really not considering joining the Yiqi League? The Yiqi League has developed rapidly in the past few years. Dragon Spear Fang Tianrui is ambitious. Judging from his behavior last night, he may achieve something in the future."
Chu Qing shook his head:
"I like to roam around the world and don't want to be confined to a small area.
"Isn't it the same for Hero Cao? Otherwise, why didn't Fang Tianrui ask?"
"Hahaha."
Cao Qiupu laughed when he heard this:
"Maybe I have a bad reputation?"
"I don't know whether Hero Cao has a bad reputation or not, but if you don't take care of it, Brother Bai, I'm afraid your reputation will spread all over the world."
Chu Qing said with a smile.
Cao Qiupu's face shrank, and he said bitterly:
"I really can't control this idiot."
"Speaking of which, Brother Bai brought that Lingfei girl with him last night. I wonder how she is doing now?"
Chu Qing said casually:
"How is Cao going to treat that girl?"
Cao Qiupu suddenly became a little serious after hearing this, and sighed softly:
"Third brother has a keen eye, I think he has seen it.
"She and I are old acquaintances... We have been separated for many years. I didn't expect that when we met again, it would be like last night."
"Sure enough."
Chu Qing nodded:
"Old lover?"
"Not really... but he is my childhood friend, and he often appears in my dreams at midnight."
Cao Qiupu said this very frankly:
"I think she has suffered a lot over the years..."
"So, what is Cao's plan?"
"I don't know either... Let's take it one step at a time."
Cao Qiupu seemed a little at a loss.
Chu Qing curled her lips. They were childhood sweethearts, and now they met again in a brothel.
Hero Cao feels very sad...but he doesn't say it.
However, there was no room for others to interrupt, so Chu Qing simply clasped his fists and said:
"In that case, we will not delay Mr. Cao from meeting the beauty. We will say goodbye now."
"…Brother San is teasing me again."
Cao Qiupu smiled helplessly and clasped his fists:
"See you later."
After separating from Cao Qiupu, Chu Qing returned to the inn.
The inn seems a little empty today, and it also suffered a disaster yesterday.
However, there were some martial arts masters living in the house at that time, and after a fight, nothing serious happened. Only a few tables and doors were damaged.
Chu Qing stepped into the door of the inn. The waiter who was serving dishes looked at him and was so scared that he sat down on the ground.
The main thing is that Chu Qing does look a bit scary at this moment.
His body was covered in dried blood, and although his murderous aura was restrained, it was still frightening.
At this moment, if he was fully motivated to kill, he might scare a living person into having nightmares for several days.
Chu Qing glanced down at his own appearance, then went straight upstairs. When he passed by the second brother, he asked him to bring some hot water upstairs as he wanted to take a shower and change clothes.
The second brother nodded in agreement hurriedly, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Chu Qing really went upstairs and didn't slap him twice.
But the food on the plate was ruined, so he had to ask the kitchen to remake it.
I carried the hot water upstairs.
When Chu Qing came out of the room, she was wearing a new set of green clothes.
It's exactly the same as the previous one.
He went straight to Wenrou's door and knocked gently. Wenrou opened the door and saw Chu Qing, then she yawned and walked into the room:
"You're back."
Chu Qing saw that he wanted to let him in, so he followed him in.
Sitting down at the table, Wenrou poured him a cup of tea:
"how's it going?"
"The situation has been brought under control. From now on, the Divine Sword Hall will be called Fang."
Wenrou nodded and then asked:
"Those men in black last night were coming for me again?"
Chu Qing picked up the teacup and took a sip, thinking of what he heard in Tianxiang Tower last night, and said to Wenrou:
"Go and call your two brothers over. I have something to tell you."
She nodded gently and went out to call for help.
Only Chu Qing was left sitting here... Just as she was about to drink tea, she suddenly realized that this was someone else's gentle room.
The girl is unmarried, and it seems inappropriate for a grown man like me to sit alone in her room.
But if I go out and wait now, wouldn't it seem more deliberate?
Chu Qing felt a little bit uneasy for a moment, and when he turned his eyes, he saw that there seemed to be a piece of red cloth hidden under the quilt at the head of the bed.
He subconsciously wanted to look carefully, but he reacted the next moment.
He shook his head helplessly, and with a wave of his hand, the quilt was immediately spread out to cover the cloth.
"It's sloppy..."
Chu Qing exhaled softly, and heard footsteps approaching the door.
Wenrou has returned with the two senior brothers.
Chu Qing turned around and saw Bian Cheng looking him up and down, as if he wanted to see if he was injured. Even Mo Duxing, who always regarded himself as "cold", looked at him with some worry.
"I am fine."
Chu Qing waved his hand and asked them to sit down.
"The Third Young Master is truly a man of heaven."
As soon as Biancheng sat down, he began to admire:
"You fought all night last night, but now you are still so calm and composed. Is your internal strength limitless?"
Chu Qing waved his hand:
"My story is not worth mentioning. Last night I was at Tianxiang Tower and heard someone discussing..."
"What's the discussion?"
"The Unchanging Heavenly Book."
Chu Qing immediately recounted what he had heard last night, in just a few words.
After he finished speaking, everyone present seemed to have their acupuncture points pressed, unable to move.
Biancheng was the first to jump up:
"Is there any news about the Earth Scroll? And is it related to the Wen family?
"This...how is this possible?"
Mo Duxing stood up and said:
"I'll be back as soon as I go."
"I will go with you."
Bian Cheng hurriedly followed: "Don't walk alone."
After finishing speaking, he thought of Chu Qing again and quickly turned around and said:
"Wait a moment, Third Young Master. Let's go see if the sect has any message."
"it is good."
Chu Qing knew that each of these sects had its own way of communicating, but these methods were kept secret to avoid being discovered and used to spread false information.
And he suddenly remembered that Wu Qianhuan had left him a way to contact her in the Shili Wangxiang Pavilion. He had walked all the way to Shendao City and had never sent her a letter.
Should I write a letter to tell her...that everything is fine here?
