Chapter 307 Assassination

Chapter 307 Assassination
A twenty-year-old young man, traveling around the world with two girls dressed as men?

There is also a little girl as an apprentice...

If this guy is really an old veteran in his seventies or eighties, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But he is not...what kind of quality is this?
Liu Qingyan subconsciously shrank back, and suddenly felt that the compensation she had proposed earlier seemed a bit hasty.

No specific compensation was mentioned at the time. Would this guy make a fuss about this?
What kind of person is Chu Qing? He is almost a spirit. Just by taking a look at Liu Qingyan's expression, he knew what she was thinking.

I was speechless for a moment.

I wanted to reveal my identity, but it felt inappropriate.

Why should people believe it when there is no evidence?
As for the letter given by Chu Yunfei, it was to be given to Liu Zhaonian.

You can't just give it to whoever you meet, right?

What if I use this to get close to her, wouldn't she feel even more that I have bad intentions towards her?

Shaking his head, Chu Qing coughed and said:
"Does the girl know what the final result of Su Ningzhen's investigation was?"

Liu Qingyan came back to her senses and felt that her previous thought was a bit offensive.

I didn't even know what the relationship between them was like. I was just thinking about it and shook my head slightly. On the one hand, I was getting rid of the messy thoughts in my mind, and on the other hand, I was also answering Chu Qing's question:

"I don't know, she doesn't say anything to me now.

"If it weren't for the friendship we had back then, I wouldn't want to bother with her."

Chu Qing nodded upon hearing this:

“In that case, let’s just let this matter go for Miss Liu’s sake.

“I just hope it won’t happen again.”

"It's natural."

When Liu Qingyan said this, she suddenly gritted her teeth, took out a bamboo tube from her arms and handed it to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing took it with some doubt. After opening it, there was a piece of brocade handkerchief inside with words embroidered with gold thread.

The first four big characters that catch your eye are [Tong Xuan Miao Yin].

After taking another glance down, he realized that this was a method of practicing sound skills. He did not look deeper into it, but looked up at Liu Qingyan:
"Miss Liu, what's this?"

"compensate."

Liu Qingyan said:
"This is the unique secret of my Tianyin Mansion. I am willing to use this item to compensate Su Ningzhen for what he did."

Chu Qing smiled, put away the handkerchief, stuffed it into the bamboo tube, and threw the bamboo tube to Liu Qingyan.

Liu Qingyan was stunned:
"What are you..."

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but his expression looked a little strange and alert.

Chu Qing frowned slightly, feeling that this girl was probably old enough to think about something crooked when she disagreed with something.

He immediately said softly:

“Come to think of it, I was planning to visit Tianyin Mansion this time.

“I didn’t expect to meet you on the road… But since we’ve met, Miss Liu wants to make it up to me.

"Then I do have something that I would like to ask Miss Kenliu for help with."

Liu Qingyan felt a little depressed, but her face remained calm:
"Just tell me, brother."

"I would like to ask the masters of your house to use the [Tian Xin Wan An Qu] to heal my fiancée's injuries."

Chu Qing said this quickly, otherwise he didn't know what Liu Qingyan would think.

Liu Qingyan was indeed stunned when she heard this, and looked at the two rough faces in astonishment.

Although she knew that these two were women disguised as men, she couldn't tell what they really looked like, and she couldn't tell which one was his fiancée.

Chu Qing glanced at Wu Qianhuan, and Liu Qingyan said:
"Please extend your hand, young lady."

Wu Qianhuan nodded and stretched out her wrist.

The internal energy training of [Tianming Sword Technique] did have some effect on her internal injuries.

But the effect is not so immediate, and when two people practice this martial art, they have to avoid some people.

But as they walked along the way, there were people everywhere.

Occasionally I have the opportunity to rest in the inn at night, but it is not easy to get a room.

Even if Wu Qianhuan could sneak into Chu Qing's room in the middle of the night...such opportunities are very rare.

As a result, the practice of this [Tianming Sword Technique] was always delayed.

So her injury has not improved much now.

Liu Qingyan held Wu Qianhuan's wrist, and after a moment her brows slightly frowned:
"The damage to the meridians is very severe and it cannot be resolved by ordinary means.

"The cold air has invaded the meridians. If the pure yang internal force is used to forcibly dissolve it, the meridians may be severed..."

"how so?"

Wenrou couldn't help but ask.

Liu Qingyan thought for a moment and said:
"It's like when we don't have inner strength to protect us in winter, our hands and feet are frozen red, and when we come back, we immediately put our hands into warm water.

“The result is frostbite all over my hands.

"Faced with this situation, the best strategy is to take it step by step.

"In fact, if this injury is left alone, it will heal on its own in a few years."

Wu Qianhuan silently glanced at Liu Qingyan, then looked at Chu Qing:

"I don't want to wait."

Liu Qingyan suddenly realized:
"Okay, then I won't wait. However, I don't know how to perform the [Tian Xin Wan An Qu] yet. My cultivation level is not high enough and my elders haven't taught me yet.

"Why don't you all follow me back to Tianyin Mansion, and I'll ask grandma to heal the girl?"

Grandma... Isn't Liu Qingyan's grandma my own grandmother?
Chu Qing blinked and suddenly felt a little curious.

The Tianyin family is wealthy and powerful. How did Liu Zhaohua, the eldest daughter of the Liu family, fall in love with Chu Yunfei?

Is it based on appearance?
Anyway, Chu Qing thought that with Chu Yunfei's martial arts and power back then, it would be impossible for the Liu family to take him seriously.

Moreover, over the years, no one from the Liu family has ever gone to Tianwu City.

This shows that the relationship between these two people is mostly not acknowledged. Even if it has to be acknowledged, it is probably mostly resentment.

Chu Qing suddenly felt that Chu Yunfei's request for him to come to Tianyin Mansion to deliver a letter seemed like a trap.

I just hope that things won't get too chaotic...

Thinking this in my heart, I said:

"That's great, but before that we plan to go to Xiaohan Valley first."

"Xiaohan Valley, the excitement of Han Yiren?"

Liu Qingyan thought for a moment and said:
"I'm also quite curious about this matter. Since you guys are going too, why don't we go together?"

"Then Suning is really..."

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows.

Liu Qingyan sighed:
"She won't listen to me. After what happened just now, I'm afraid she will be even more reluctant to see me. Even if I catch up with her now, I can only fight with her. It's better to let her calm down for a few days."

Chu Qing nodded, feeling that Liu Qingyan's understanding was still very clear.

As a result, Liu Qingyan temporarily joined the caravan.

She was still very curious about Chu Qing, and this also made her curious about the caravan that could accommodate Chu Qing, a giant Buddha...

After a few days of observation, I found that this caravan was too ordinary to be worth mentioning. Ordinary guards, ordinary business, ordinary shopkeeper...

I don’t know what abilities this caravan has that would allow them to ask a master like Chu Qing to escort them?
However, Liu Qingyan occasionally learned from the caravan guards that Chu Qing and his group were not originally part of the caravan... He joined the caravan in Tongtian Town.

But before that, no one knew where he came from.

This made Liu Qingyan's heart tremble slightly.

She had never heard of a top master named 'Han San' in Lingbei.

She is the young lady of Tianyin Mansion and has a noble status. There is very little information about the martial arts world that she cannot find. That is why she may not know the affairs of ordinary people, but she must know everything about the martial arts masters.

However, in the entire Lingbei, he had never seen anyone like Chu Qing.

Combined with the fact that this person first appeared in Tongtian Town under Tongtian Ridge.

Does that mean that this group of people actually came from Tongtianling... Nanling masters?
However, although the Tongtianling Mountains separate the north and the south, it is not completely impenetrable.

As Liu Qingyan, she also has some knowledge of the news in Nanling.

Therefore, she knew very well that even in Nanling, there was no such a top master named Han San.

So, where did this group of people come from?
After walking for a while, the next time was relatively peaceful. Every day was spent on the road... Occasionally, there would be bandits robbing the road, but these small characters could not even alarm Chu Qing's word "get out", and Old Man Sun could send them away by himself.

Finally, that day Xiaohan Valley was in sight.

Shopkeeper Zhou found Chu Qing and said that they could no longer go forward.

They are just an ordinary caravan. If they go forward, they will be stopped by the people of Xiaohan Valley unless Chu Qing speaks up.

Chu Qing didn't embarrass them after hearing this, but just smiled and said:

“I’m grateful for your care along the way… I have nothing to repay you for.

"How about this, if Shopkeeper Zhou encounters any difficulties in the future, you can ask someone to pass the message to Tianyin Mansion."

When he said this, he secretly glanced at Liu Qingyan to make sure that she couldn't hear him before he spoke.

Shopkeeper Zhou was surprised. It turned out that this person also had a connection with Tianyin Mansion.

He nodded repeatedly immediately.

Old man Sun, on the other hand, looked conflicted. He occasionally glanced at Yu Shiliu, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Chu Qing was a little curious:

"Senior, do you have something to say? You can say it at any time."

"This... Oh, it's nothing."

Old man Sun smiled and waved his hand.

Chu Qing looked at him quietly without saying a word.

Old Man Sun was finally defeated, and he laughed dryly and said:
"In fact, when I met Brother Han in Tongtian Town, I had a little selfish motive, and I was looking for a favor to earn from you along the way.

“I want to use this favor to find a way out for my grandson.

"I want him to become your disciple... But along the way, we haven't helped you much, and it's you who have repeatedly resolved the caravan crises.

"Of course, I dare not mention this matter again."

"I see."

Chu Qing smiled, and after a brief thought, he took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to Old Man Sun:

"I don't know your grandson, so I naturally have no idea of ​​his qualifications.

"However, since you have this intention, I can make an exception...

"Well, you can give him this secret book. It's not a magical skill, but if he succeeds in practicing it, you can let him come to me and I will accept him as my disciple."

Old man Sun was overjoyed. He took the secret book with both hands and looked at it carefully. He saw four big words "Zixia Divine Art" written on the cover.

He immediately took it in his arms and knelt down to kowtow to express his gratitude.

Chu Qing stopped him and said with a smile:

"It was fate that brought us together, and now it's time to go our separate ways.

"You two, see you later."

Shopkeeper Zhou and Old Man Sun also hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted, and finally watched Chu Qing call Wu Qianhuan and others to leave. Until Chu Qing's back disappeared, the two of them still felt lost.

……

……

The place where we separated from Manager Zhou and the others was not far from Xiaohan Valley.

As you walk forward, you can see many martial arts figures around you.

Some of them were rushing forward, but some were wandering around.

Some were napping on the trees, some were drinking under the trees. When they saw someone coming, they raised their eyes to look, with both scrutiny and coldness in their eyes.

Under the gaze of this group of people, Chu Qing and his group arrived at the gate of Xiaohan Valley.

However, he saw that the gate of Xiaohan Valley was closed, and it was obvious that they were not planning to receive any visitors for the time being.

Chu Qing clasped his hands and handed over the invitation card he got from You Zong.

The disciple from Xiaohan Valley in front of the gate took it, looked at it, and handed it back with both hands:

"I'm sorry, everyone. Something happened in the valley these past two days, so we can't open the door for the time being..."

"problem occurs?"

Chu Qing was stunned: "May I ask what happened?"

"It is not convenient to tell you about the internal affairs of Xiaohan Valley. Please forgive me."

The attitudes of the few people were very good, but they did not let out a single word in their words.

Seeing this, Chu Qing did not force it, and asked again, "The conference is about to be held, are they going to keep the door closed and refuse visitors?"
After learning that Xiaohan Valley would open its gates in three days, Chu Qing and his companions turned back.

At the same time, I also understood why there were so many people gathering around... but not entering Xiaohan Valley. It turned out that they couldn't get in, so they planned to wait here and enter the valley to attend the meeting three days later.

It’s just that Chu Qing was very curious about what happened in this Xiaohan Valley.

I asked around, but no one knew.

I came back and found a place to sit down. Just when I felt that I had gained nothing, I heard a voice behind me:
"Someone died in Xiaohan Valley."

This voice sounded familiar. Chu Qing and the others turned around and heard Liu Qingyan say in surprise:
"Why are you here?"

This person was none other than Su Ningzhen.

She frowned slightly, glanced at Liu Qingyan, and then looked at Chu Qing with some fear, and then said:

"What does it have to do with you..."

Chu Qing asked:
"Someone died? Who? How did he die?"

“A master in Xiaohan Valley died from an assassination at the Niejingtai.

"A book of sins was hung on the body, listing all the evil deeds that the person had done."

Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan all had frowns on their faces. Did the people from Niejingtai assassinate the people from Xiaohan Valley?

Could it be that Li Shengxing took action?

But at this moment, Suningzhen spoke with a serious face:
"I don't know what kind of martial arts the assassin used. I heard that the man had no signs of death at first, but suddenly all his bones were shattered, and his whole body was like a pile of meat paste, piled on the ground... He howled in pain for a long time before he was completely dead."

Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.
