Chapter 184 Scholars

The man flew with a sword in hand under the cover of night, but he was actually running for his life.

When I saw the fire, I knew someone was camping there.

Although I don't know who he is, maybe I can use this to stop the pursuers from behind.

Who could have imagined that while he was running so well... he was actually grabbed from mid-air by someone.

Even after I fell to the ground, my head was still buzzing.

I looked around blankly, and I could still hear Chu Qing's words "I have a sword, long time no see", wondering who he was talking about?
After seeing the people around the fire clearly, his face changed drastically:

“Deputy Hall Master!!”

He saw Cheng Tieshan at a glance and subconsciously shrank back.

Then he quickly got up and knelt on one knee:
"Deputy Hall Master, it's great that you're still alive.

"I just happened to have something important to report to the Hall Master...

"Hu Yan colluded with the Fiery Flame Hall, revealed your whereabouts to Beitang Zun, and planned an ambush..."

When he said this, his speech slowed down subconsciously because he saw Beitang Zun.

At this moment, his mind became even more confused.

Why is Beitang Zun here?

Why are you eating together with the deputy hall master like good brothers?
Are you crazy, or is the world crazy?

"Oh?"

Cheng Tieshan frowned:
"Keep talking."

"……Yes."

The visitor said quickly:

"My subordinates investigated this matter, but Hu Yan found out and wanted to kill me to silence me.

"He will be here soon, please ask the deputy hall master to make the decision for me!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Cheng Tieshan glanced at Beitang Zun.

Beitang Zun looked at his nose with his eyes, his nose at his mouth, and his mouth at his heart, and ignored his gaze.

Just at this moment, another strong wind approached.

But it wasn't just one person who came... The one leading the group was the very knife that was among the swords and knives that Cheng Tieshan had used at that time.

Behind him, there were three or five disciples from the Iron Blood Hall.

When Hu Yan got close, he only took a glance and saw Cheng Tieshan.

Immediately overjoyed:

"Deputy Hall Master, you are safe and sound!!"

"Why? Did I disappoint you?"

Cheng Tieshan narrowed his eyes and looked at Hu Yan:

“Feng Yu has already told me just now that it was you who colluded with Beitang Zun, revealed my route, and planned to ambush and kill me.

"Hu Yan, do you admit your guilt!?"

Hu Yan was stunned, and smiled helplessly:

“Master, please stop making trouble. It was not your subordinates who did all this, but Feng Yu.

"He colluded with the Liehuotang and somehow contacted Beitang Lie..."

"Stop talking nonsense and slandering me!"

Feng Yu immediately stood up and pointed at Hu Yan angrily:

"It's obvious that you are colluding with the Fiery Flame Hall. The evidence is irrefutable!"

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms, bent down and handed it to Cheng Tieshan.

Cheng Tieshan only took a glance and discovered that something was missing at the signature of the letter.

Wenrou said to Chu Qing:
"He tore off a piece when he was writing the letter just now."

Chu Qing nodded slightly when he heard that. Just as he was about to stand up, he saw Nian Xin and Nian An looking at each other, and suddenly they took a step forward at the same time.

He grabbed Feng Yu's hands, one on the left and one on the right.

Feng Yu was stunned:
"What are you doing?"

"Let's see what you've got hidden!"

As Nian Xin spoke, she exerted force with her five fingers. Her body was made of seven-treasure colored glaze and was indestructible. With this kind of force, even if Feng Yu's qi contained sword intent, it could not hurt Nian Xin's palm at all.

The bones that were being squeezed by Nian Xin creaked loudly, and finally, unable to bear the pain, he opened his hands.

Then he saw a corner of letter paper in his palm.

Nian Xin took it and handed it to Cheng Tieshan.

Cheng Tieshan matched this corner with the letter paper, making it fit perfectly. He did not leave his name on this small piece, but only drew a long sword unsheathed.

Holding up the letter in his hand, Cheng Tieshan looked at Feng Yu:

"What else do you have to say?"

"Deputy Hall Master, please listen to my explanation. This is not the case!"

Feng Yu spoke quickly.

"Okay, then explain it to me."

Cheng Tieshan was calm and waited quietly.

However, Feng Yu moved his lips, but for a long while he couldn't utter a word of explanation.

How to explain the fact that the person was caught red-handed?

Finally, he thought of a reason that was not a reason, and looked at Hu Yan:

"It was him, he framed me! Hall Master, I was worried that you would be deceived by him, so I hid this secretly.

"I am loyal to you and will never deceive you!"

Cheng Tieshan suddenly realized and slapped his thigh:
"Well, Hu Yan, you are so despicable that you actually used this method to frame your peers. Do you know your crime?"

"Squeak..."

Hu Yan responded with a listless look in his eyes.

"..."

Cheng Tieshan felt that his boss was boring, and immediately slapped Feng Yu directly on the chest.

The force of this palm was so strong that Feng Yu was knocked out of Nian Xin Nian'an's palm. He flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

He barely stood up and spat out a mouthful of blood:

"Master!? You...you must not be deceived by the treacherous people!?"

"I'm afraid you are the only traitor who deceived me?"

Cheng Tieshan shook his head:
“Let’s not talk about who is right or wrong in this matter. Let me ask you, if you were really being chased by someone and saw a fire in the forest, why would you walk through it?

"What is its purpose?"

"I……"

Feng Yu was stunned and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

"If you can't tell, I'll tell you for you."

Cheng Tieshan said calmly:
"You just want to find someone to protect you from disaster. If the people here are a group of brave and righteous heroes, they might intervene if they see someone leading a group to kill you.

"Isn't this what you're betting on?

"Of course, there is another point. If the person who killed you acts in a mysterious way and does not want others to know about it.

"Then you pass by here, and the people chasing you see these 'passers-by'. Then the people chasing you will definitely eliminate these people...

"Feng Yu, which one are you?"

"Your subordinate... Your subordinate is... is..."

Feng Yu's lips moved, but after talking for a long time, there was still no answer.

"But no matter which type you are... you have violated the rules of my Iron Blood Hall.

"Since the day our Iron Blood Hall was founded, the hall rule that has been regarded as the golden rule is that innocent people should not be implicated and civilians should not be harmed!

"You are doing this to divert the trouble to the east. Do you really think that I can't see through it?"

Feng Yu suddenly laughed when he heard this:
"So, you never believed me from the beginning?"

"From the beginning to the end, what on earth have you done that is worthy of my trust?

"Did you retreat subconsciously out of guilt when you first met me?

“Or when you saw Beitang Zun, your words slowed down, and you seemed to be feeling uneasy?

“Or was it that he sent the evidence to frame someone, but hid a piece?
"To be honest, I don't know what you are thinking. Do you think I will convict Hu Yan just because you hide a piece of evidence?

"In your eyes, am I so foolish?"

Cheng Tieshan became more and more angry as he spoke. What could be more painful than being betrayed by one's subordinates?
That's probably... the subordinates who betrayed me actually looked down on me.

Chu Qing looked at Feng Yu carefully in the light of the fire.

Exclaimed:

"I still remember when we first met in that small town, you said you had a sword...

"At that time, I felt that your swordsmanship was too exaggerated. It looked sharp, but in fact it was just gaudy."

Feng Yu's face darkened:
"If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why waste your time talking?"

"Not in a hurry."

Cheng Tieshan shook his head:
"Feng Yu, I really don't understand.

“Since you came to me, I have treated you well.

"Why on earth did you betray me?"

He then asked Beitang Zun:
"How much did you give him?"

"……do not know."

Beitang Zun had a blank expression on his face.

"Are you still pretending at this time?"

Cheng Tieshan said angrily:

"As the deputy leader of the Fiery Hall, how can you die if you don't pretend?"

"……I really do not know."

What Beitang Zun said was not false. Everything he knew was told to him by Beitang Lie.

As for where he got the information from, who he contacted, and what price he paid... he knew nothing.

Cheng Tieshan was still angry for a while, and Chu Qing came to Feng Yu:
"In fact, it shouldn't be the case. You guys are following Old Cheng and you can get whatever you want.

"Why betray for no reason?
"Or do you have impure intentions from the beginning?"

"Do you have a say here?"

Although Feng Yu was severely injured by Cheng Tieshan's palm strike, he did not show any fear in his words.

Chu Qing smiled:
"Search him. I always feel like there's something wrong with this guy."

Cao Qiupu nodded and was about to step forward.

In the end, he was stopped by Nian Xin and Nian An, one of them grabbed Cao Qiupu's arm and stopped him from moving:

"If there is anything, I will do the work. What do you want to do?"

The other one rushed to Fengyu, grabbed his clothes and tore them.

Even though Feng Yu was stubborn to Chu Qing just now, she was frightened like a woman at this moment, covering her chest and screaming:

"What are you doing? Let me go...let me go..."

But how can thin arms be stronger than thighs?
If he had not been hit by Cheng Tieshan, he would have been able to exchange a few moves with Nian Xin, but now he was really helpless.

Nian Xin pressed him to the ground with one hand. Because she was annoyed by his digging and moving around, she simply turned him around so that he was face down. She held both of his hands with one hand and pressed them down to dig.

This scene made Chu Qing's teeth ache, and he couldn't help but ask Cao Qiupu:
"Are they really disciples of Bodhi Temple?"

Which nun is so wild?

Even I can't do this kind of thing.

Cao Qiupu thought about it for a moment, then nodded uncertainly:

"Mostly, huh?"

Chu Qing said "search him", but Nian Xin's hands and feet were too agile, and the sound of tearing cloth was heard.

But in just a moment, Feng Yu was torn to pieces, leaving only a pair of underwear.

He was shivering with his bare chest in the cold wind... There was a black palm print on his chest, which was almost as big as a finger.

He seemed to have suffered a huge blow. He curled up on the ground and looked around with caution.

This person was probably the first one to be treated like this by a nun who only had untied hair.

Chu Qing asked Nian An in some confusion:

"Why are you so skilled?"

"Of course I have practiced!"

Nian An patted his chest and said:
"Brother, you have to practice too."

"what?"

"Just think about it, in the future we will be the kings of the mountains and unify the world.

"But this title doesn't sound good... Mountain King, no one will be willing to marry you, and no one will be willing to marry us two sisters.

"Then the three of us will go down the mountain together. If you see a pretty girl, just wink at us sisters and we will carry her back to the mountain for you.

“If we sisters see a good-looking man, you can help us capture him.

"But in this case, they will definitely resist...

“Then I can push him or her over there like my sister did.

"After stripping them naked, and cooking the raw rice, now... the wife of the chieftain and the husband of the chieftain are here, right?
"But if you don't practice this [Stripping Skill] well, and you're too slow and the person runs away... what should you do then?"

She spoke with righteousness and self-satisfaction, and it didn't sound like a joke at all.

I guess that's what he really thought.

Chu Qing gently pinched her brows, feeling that either there was something wrong with Bodhi Temple or there was something wrong with these two girls.

And when it comes down to it, Bodhi Temple probably has bigger problems.

What decent sect would allow disciples to act like this? And what kind of stripping skills are they practicing?
It's a pity that a girl like her could say that.

After this tossing and turning, the things on Fengyu's body were scattered all over the floor.

Silver notes and silver are all old news... What really caught Chu Qing's attention was a letter and a sign.

He immediately reached out his hand, and the letter and the sign flew directly into Chu Qing's hand.

Although Feng Yu was greatly irritated, seeing this, he still hurried forward to stop it.

But it was too late... the thing had already fallen into Chu Qing's hands.

Open the envelope and check: [Fire burns blood, plotting to kill with an iron hand, the letter must be double evidence, and if defeated, they will be burned].

This letter is almost identical to the one found on Guo Wang before...

The only difference is that one is "Plot to Seize the Fixed Star" and the other is "Plot to Kill with the Iron Palm".

The so-called double certificates for signaling are the same.

Chu Qing fumbled with the sign in his hand...

He remembered that the sign in Guo Wang's hand was made of wood, with the word "卒" engraved on it.

But this one is not.

This is an iron plate, but the words engraved on it are the word "士".

"Soldiers and soldiers..."

Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Feng Yu:
"You don't plan to explain?"

"…If you have the guts, just kill me."

Feng Yu looked at Chu Qing coldly.

Chu Qing waved his hand:
"Don't just go about it, when you're in the martial world, besides the flash of swords and the shadows of blood, there are also the ways of the world.

"You are a person who never makes good connections... But it doesn't matter, you are Lao Cheng's man, so it's up to him how to deal with you."

As he spoke, he took the sign and went to find Beitang Zun.

Beitang Zun frowned subconsciously:

"What do you want to do again?"

Chu Qing handed the sign to Beitang Zun:

"Look at this."

Beitang Zun frowned and looked at it, then shook his head:

"Never seen it before."

"I have seen."

Chu Qing said:

“Although I still don’t know the secrets behind these signs, I suspect that this matter has something to do with the Tianxie Cult.

“I’m afraid this person is a hidden chess piece planted by the Tianxie Cult in the Tiexue Hall.

"Now he has contacted your eldest brother and told you Cheng Tieshan's whereabouts.

"Is there something happening quietly here that you don't know about?"
