Hearing the voice, Junior Leopard turned around with some doubts. He saw that the person who asked him to stop was the Field Officer he didn't know sitting in front of the table.
The Field Officer raised his head with a cold smile and looked at him with an extremely disdainful look. "Who are you? How dare you trespass into such an important place. Guards, take him down!"
Junior Leopard frowned slightly. The two soldiers standing at the entrance looked anxious and frightened. One of them hurried forward and said, "Inspector Qi, this is Personal Guard Zhou, he is …!"
"I'm Zhou Bao, a disciple of the Wu Family!" Junior Leopard said before the young Field Officer. He cupped his hands to the young Field Officer and said, "May I know who you are?"
"Qi Ying, Inspector of the Guard County Mansion!" The young Field Officer still raised his head and looked at Junior Leopard with increasingly unfriendly eyes. "Even if you are a disciple of the Wu Family, you can't trespass into the underground fire vein. Guards, take him down!"
"Wait!" Junior Leopard waved his hand and the smile on his face became more and more brilliant. "Inspector, didn't you hear what I said? I'm a disciple of the Wu Family. Although the fire vein belongs to the imperial court of the Jin, it is also open to the Wu Family. I'm a disciple of the Wu Family. How can you say that I trespass here? "
"Are you kidding me? The underground fire vein is indeed open to the Wu Family. But that's from the second to the seventh of every month. Today is the 17th day. You're just making trouble out of nothing. Come on!"
"Come on! Who said it's the 17th day? Isn't it the sixth?" Junior Leopard shouted, "Damn it, I just checked the almanac when I went out. How could it be the 17th day?"
At this time, a group of people had gathered around. They were all attracted by the noise here. Among these people, there were people from the Guard County Mansion, the Admiral Mansion, the Pei Family, and the Ministry of Works.
Today was the 17th day of the month, and it was the turn of the Pei Family to use the furnace. These people had their own things to do, but they were all attracted by the movement at the entrance. Some of them really didn't understand what was going on, while some of them who knew the inside story began to pay attention to the movement here since Junior Leopard entered the entrance of the underground fire vein. Now, as expected, Junior Leopard was blocked outside the entrance, so they came with the mentality of watching the fun.
Therefore, when Junior Leopard said, "I just checked the almanac when I went out. How could it be the 17th?", the surrounding people were stunned at first and then burst into laughter. Only a few people's facial muscles twitched and they secretly cursed, "What a cunning junior!"
When Qi Ying heard this, a sneer appeared on his face. "Today is indeed the seventeenth day. If you don't know the almanac, you can ask your master's wife to teach you! “
"Fuck you! Junior Leopard let out a cold laugh. His body moved and he gave a punch.
Qi Ying didn't expect Junior Leopard to hit him so suddenly. Seeing Junior Leopard's punch coming, he quickly dodged to the side. However, it was not easy to dodge Junior Leopard's punch. Junior Leopard's fist suddenly bent and changed direction, blocking Qi Ying's way of dodging.
"Bang!" Qi Ying was not a weakling either. He raised his arms in time to block Junior Leopard's punch to his face. His face was saved, but his body was knocked back more than 10 feet by Junior Leopard's punch. His sleeves exploded, revealing a pair of silver wristguards inside.
"You're so weak. Did your master's wife teach you martial arts?" Junior Leopard secretly praised him in his heart when he saw that he was not knocked down by his fist. However, his mouth was unforgiving. He said extremely harshly, "Why don't you call her here? I'll teach her, and then she'll teach you. How about that?"
"Shut up!" Qi Ying shouted angrily. He jumped up and touched his waist with his hand. A silver light flashed and a silver soft sword appeared in his hand. The soft sword drew a strange wave-like arc in the air and stabbed toward Junior Leopard!
Junior Leopard raised his hand and shook his sleeve in the air to roll the soft sword.
"You're courting death!" Qi Ying shouted coldly. He shook the soft sword in his hand and the sharp Sword Qi overflowed.
"Puff!" With a light sound, just like a pot of hot oil poured into water, the sleeve had completely wrapped the soft sword. Influenced by the Sword Qi, the sleeve swelled up like a blower. However, even so, his thin sleeve was not damaged at all. Instead, it firmly wrapped the soft sword. No matter how hard Qi Ying tried, he couldn't pull the sword out of Junior Leopard's sleeve.
"Am I right? Your master's wife really didn't teach you well!" Junior Leopard sneered. He tightened his sleeves and pulled Qi Ying, causing him to stagger. He lifted his foot and kicked Qi Ying's lower abdomen. Qi Ying and his sword flew backward for more than 100 feet before falling to the ground. Junior Leopard sneered and sneered. Junior Leopard tightened his sleeves and pulled Qi Ying along with his sword.
Qi Ying fell to the ground and tried to prop himself up with his hands. Unfortunately, his strength seemed to have been exhausted by Junior Leopard's insidious kick. It was impossible for him to prop himself up with his own strength.
After kicking him away, Junior Leopard didn't even look at him. He just muttered with a confused expression, "Seventeenth? Bullshit! I just checked the almanac this morning when I went out. Today is the sixth day of the lunar month, it's the sixth day of the lunar month!" While muttering, he walked toward the entrance of the underground fire vein. This time, no one dared to stop him. They watched him disappear at the entrance of the underground fire vein.
"Stop, stop, stop him —!" Qi Ying stammered as he struggled to prop himself up. He stretched out one hand and pointed in the direction where Junior Leopard disappeared. After finishing his words, his body suddenly stiffened and he fainted on the ground. He moved and moved as if he was dead.
Several people from the Prefectural Governor's Mansion were stunned for a moment before they hurriedly rushed forward and helped Qi Ying up. As they helped him, they shouted, "Doctor, quickly call a doctor over. Patrol Inspector Qi is injured. Quickly call a doctor over …!"
After that, the farce ended amidst the ruckus.
… …
… …
"Inspector of the Guard County Mansion? He's just a stick out. Does he think he can deal with me? He really underestimates me! "Walking slowly in the passageway to the underground fire vein, Junior Leopard sneered in his heart.
He didn't know the origin of Qi Ying, and he didn't want to know. He was just a bird that stuck out. It seemed that someone knew that he often went in and out of the underground fire vein without following the rules, so they wanted to plant someone here to make trouble for him and frame him with a crime, and even implicate Li Yuan. Therefore, at the entrance, when the soldier called him Personal Guard Zhou, he took the initiative and faced Qi Ying as a disciple of the Wu Family.
However, even if he was a disciple of the Wu Family, today was the seventeenth. It was not the day when the Wu Family entered the underground fire vein, so he would definitely be caught. However, Junior Leopard was quick-witted and began to misrepresent him. It was obviously the seventeenth, but he insisted that it was the sixth. Qi Ying was too inexperienced and ignorant, so he fell into Junior Leopard's trap. He couldn't help but open his mouth to ridicule Junior Leopard, which saved him a lot of effort. Junior Leopard originally wanted to provoke this guy, but he didn't expect that Junior Leopard directly said some provocative words without any effort.
"Did your Master's wife teach you that?"
This sentence was extremely insulting in Jianghu, like "Go back to your mother's arms to drink milk". It was this sentence that gave Junior Leopard a reason to get mad. Regardless of the consequences, he punched Qi Ying. Whether Qi Ying fought back or not, this matter changed from trespassing to a quarrel between ordinary people in Jianghu. With Li Yuan's help, the nature of the matter suddenly changed. Even if Li Yuan wanted to punish Junior Leopard for the sake of Qi Ying's reputation and background, he would have a reason to reduce the punishment. After all, it was Qi Ying who spoke ill of him first, and Junior Leopard was just fighting back.
As for him sneaking into the underground fire vein now, he could still pretend to be a fool and insist that he entered on the sixth day of the lunar year. Could it be that others would eat him?
He believed that when he came out of the underground fire vein again, his strength would increase greatly, and he would be able to speak with more confidence. Who cares who Qi Ying was!
His kick was not heavy or light, but if Qi Ying wanted to recover, he would have to stay in bed for at least a month or two. After two months, this matter would probably have faded away, and it would be easier to deal with it at that time.
"I don't know which power pushed this person out. After I get out, I'll have to look into it and see who's so unlucky to want to cause trouble for me. After I find out who it is, I'll definitely teach him a lesson! Junior Leopard thought bitterly. It had only been a few days since he came back, but he had encountered a series of things, which made him extremely unhappy. He had an impulse to hold a hammer and hit someone. However, he didn't have a hammer and his sword was not good. So he had to put this tempting thought aside and focus on improving his strength in the underground fire vein.
The passage of the underground fire vein was still the same as before. Although it was very dark inside, there was still a faint red light coming from the surrounding cave walls. In addition, most of the people who could enter here had a cultivation above Level Three, so they wouldn't go the wrong way because of the dim light.
Junior Leopard kept walking forward. He stopped about 300 meters away from the center of the underground fire vein, where the smelting furnace was located. Then he turned to a branch beside the cave wall.
This branch vein was discovered by him before. The entrance was not high, only about five feet high. With his current stature, he had to lower his body to enter it. In this passageway, there were many branches like this, so it was not eye-catching. However, he accidentally discovered that although the entrance of this branch vein was short, it would become wider after entering it and walking forward for about 100 feet. Most importantly, this branch vein led to an earth vein of Fire Evil Qi, which was very well hidden. The quality of the Evil Qi was also very high, which was very suitable for him to practice the Extreme Yang Through Sky Sword of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword.
