When Li Gui saw Li Kui, Chu Xiu wasn't afraid. Instead, he cupped his hands towards Fang Zhenqi and said, "Greetings to General Fang."
Back then, not many people knew the details of Chu Xiu pretending to be a Dragon Rider Imperial Guard.
The Heavenly Sin Branch Leader had already gone to the Blue Dragon Society's headquarters, so it was probably impossible for him to have any dealings with the Dragon Rider Imperial Guard.
Meanwhile, the Hall Master of the White Tiger Hall had been killed by the Heavenly Sin Branch Leader, so there was no evidence. What was there for Chu Xiu to be afraid of?
Fang Zhenqi looked at Chu Xiu and nodded. He said coldly, "Nothing in the manor has been touched, and the corpses have been preserved. You can inspect them at any time."
Wang Jin looked at the few people in the manor and frowned. "Who are they? What are they doing here? Didn't His Majesty order that before the people from the Guanzhong Torture Room arrive, outsiders are not allowed to enter the manor? "
Before Fang Zhenqi could say anything, the young man said with grief and indignation, "This is the Qiu Clan's manor. Now that my father has died, how am I an outsider?"
Wang Jin said in surprise, "Isn't Qiu Zhensheng's son dead? Who is he? "
Fang Zhenqi said indifferently, "He is Qiu Zhensheng's illegitimate son, Qiu Dongmao. He has always been staying in Shangyang County. He only rushed over after hearing about Qiu Zhensheng's death."
Wang Jin nodded. Chu Xiu stood behind Wang Jin and sent a voice transmission, "Eunuch Wang, what's going on with this illegitimate son? Qiu Zhensheng is an expert at the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm, and he isn't from any aristocratic family. How did he produce an illegitimate son? "
Ordinary wealthy merchants had groups of wives and concubines. For a martial artist of Qiu Zhensheng's level and his identity as the Pegasus Farm Owner, it was not a problem for him to have as many women as he wanted.
Moreover, in order to maintain the nobility of their bloodline, ordinary aristocratic families would always find women from aristocratic families of the same level to marry. The children of such aristocratic families would be considered illegitimate children. Qiu Zhensheng was a martial artist from a humble background. Of course, the more children he had, the better. How could he have illegitimate children?
Wang Jin explained telepathically, "Qiu Zhensheng came from a humble background. He's really one of those Jianghu people who work as escorts and horses for others. His wife married him before he made a name for himself. From then on, Qiu Zhensheng swore that he would only love his wife for the rest of his life. This has become a legend in the martial arts world of Eastern Qi. Therefore, if Qiu Zhensheng really has an illegitimate child, it's normal for him to raise the child outside because he doesn't want to break his promise to his wife. "
As she spoke, Wang Jin looked at Fang Zhenqi. Fang Zhenqi also nodded, proving that Qiu Dongmao was indeed Qiu Zhensheng's son.
The Imperial Dragon Riders also had their own intelligence channels. If Qiu Dongmao was a fake, he wouldn't have been able to enter the manor.
"Who are the rest of them?" Wang Jin asked.
Fang Zhenqi said calmly, "They're the Jiangdong Five. They've received Qiu Zhensheng's kindness in the past. This time, they're here to escort Qiu Dongmao, Qiu Zhensheng's only son. They even want to 'overestimate themselves' and avenge Qiu Zhensheng."
Fang Zhenqi's words were somewhat sarcastic. Even Eastern Qi had not found out where the murderer was, and these people wanted to avenge him?
However, when Chu Xiu heard the name of the Jiangdong Five, he couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
The so-called Jiangdong Five were five young heroes from Jiangdong Commandery of Eastern Qi. They imitated the Chivalry Manor and swore an oath of brotherhood. They were motivated to be chivalrous and help those in need.
To a practical person like Chu Xiu, this so-called oath of brotherhood was a little ridiculous, especially when these people imitated the Chivalry Manor.
The Chivalry Manor was indeed famous in Jianghu. Thirty years ago, the five swore an oath of brotherhood. Thirty years later, the Chivalry Manor had become one of the Six Gangs of Human Harmony.
However, only those who truly knew the ins and outs of the story would know why the five swore an oath of brotherhood only became one. Some of the things that happened were very ironic.
At present, the Jiangdong Five had just begun to show their talents. Therefore, the five of them had really become sworn brothers because of the spirit of brotherhood. They had done many chivalrous deeds in the past few years and had a good reputation around Jiangdong Commandery. The nickname of the Jiangdong Five was given to them by the martial artists of Jiangdong Commandery.
However, in the original plot, he knew that these five people would eventually fall apart. The inside story was very interesting, and it was enough to make the Jianghu gossip spread for months.
The strength of the Jiangdong's Five Heroes was worthy of the title of 'young elites'. Although they could not compare to Chu Xiu, who was ranked on the Longhu Leaderboard, they were still considered relatively young.
The five of them were the leader, Cheng Buhui, who was in his forties. He was in his forties and had the power of Five Qis Origin State. He was dressed in coarse clothes and carried an ancient heavy sword on his back. However, his aura was extraordinary. His face was square and resolute, and he was the calmest.
The second eldest, 'Profound Flowing Water' Dong Xiangyi, was nearly forty years old. He was handsome and had a small mustache. He behaved like a playboy from an aristocratic family. He wore a brocade robe and held a folding fan. His strength was at the Five Qis Collecting in Origin State.
The third eldest was "Blood-avoiding Sword" Lu Tong. He was about thirty years old and had a parallel scar on each side of his face. He looked very awkward and indifferent. He also had the cultivation of Five Qis Collecting in the Origin, but he was only in the early stage.
The Fourth Prince, "Autumn Moon Blade" Wu Tiandong, was also in his thirties. He was handsome and wore a white warrior suit with two blades at his waist. He was dressed like a Jianghu hero and had the cultivation of the Three Flower Realm at One's Prominence.
The most eye-catching of the five was the youngest of the five, "Dancing Willow Returning Wind" Liu Qingqing. She was also the only woman among the five.
Liu Qingqing looked like she was in her early twenties, but she was actually over thirty years old. However, she had entered the Three Flower Realm at One's Prominence very early, so she still looked young and beautiful. She wore a snow-white gauze dress, but the wide sleeves and waist were tied with a rope to prevent it from affecting her performance during a fight. However, it also revealed her curvaceous figure.
Chu Xiu stared at Liu Qingqing with a strange expression. It was said that women were the source of trouble, but Liu Qingqing, who could only be described as beautiful but not stunning, was the source of trouble.
In the original plot, the Five Heroes of Jiangdong, who had a promising future, were destroyed by this woman, although she didn't mean it.
At this moment, Liu Qingqing felt Chu Xiu's gaze. She frowned slightly and took a step back, a look of disgust in her eyes.
Women would always encounter all kinds of things when they roamed the world, especially beautiful women.
Liu Qingqing had encountered many people who looked at her strangely when she roamed the world, but the gaze Chu Xiu gave her made her feel very uncomfortable. It was as if she was being seen through.
Sensing Chu Xiu's gaze and Liu Qingqing's discomfort, the Fourth Prince, Wu Tiandong, took a step forward and stood in front of Liu Qingqing. He shouted angrily at Chu Xiu, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a woman before? "
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "I have seen women before, but I have never seen a woman who thinks too highly of herself.
Luo Fei-hung of Wujun's Luo family is a good friend of mine. Although he doesn't act like a woman, his appearance is not something any woman can compare to.
And you, if you are afraid of others looking at your woman, then go hide at home and act like a lady from a wealthy family. Since you want to roam the world, why are you afraid of others looking at you? "
Liu Qingqing's face turned pale at Chu Xiu's words.
Although she was a person of the world, she was also a woman. Which woman could tolerate someone saying that she thought too highly of herself and that her appearance was inferior to others? Although it was true that she was inferior.
Wu Tiandong had a fiery temper and Liu Qingqing was the woman he had always admired. Hearing this, he immediately pulled out the two slender autumn moon blades from his waist and shouted angrily, "If you have the guts, say that again!"
Before Chu Xiu could speak, Wang Jin shouted in a sharp voice, "Stop it, all of you!"
The great master of Oneness of Heaven and Men was angry, and it was Wang Jin, the deputy director of the Front Department and the eldest of the Five Heroes, Cheng Buhui, who immediately pulled Wu Tiandong and said in a low voice, "Fourth Brother, calm down, put away your blades!"
Cheng Buhui had the highest reputation among the Five Heroes of Jiangdong. Since his eldest brother had spoken, Wu Tiandong had to put away his blades unwillingly.
Wang Jin snorted coldly and said, "From now on, Qiu Zhensheng's case will be handed over to Chu Xiu of the Guanzhong Torture Room. Official Chu is here, the others must listen to Official Chu's command! For the sake of Qiu Dongmao, the five of you can watch from the side. But if you dare to make trouble, I don't care if you are the Five Heroes or the Five Mice, get out of here! "
After all, Qiu Zhensheng was a member of the Eastern Qi imperial court. Over the years, he had also obtained a lot of fine horses for the Eastern Qi imperial court, so he could be regarded as conscientious.
Even if the Eastern Qi Royal Family wanted to win people's hearts, they had to find out the truth of this matter. Now that Qiu Dongmao was Qiu Zhensheng's only bloodline son, it was estimated that he would receive some preferential treatment from the Eastern Qi imperial court in the future, so Wang Jin gave him face.
Otherwise, even if the Five Heroes of Jiangdong had a great reputation in Jianghu, so what? They were just a few Jianghu ruffians, and he did not take them seriously at all. If he asked them to get out, he would do it.
At this time, Cheng Buhui and the others did not have time to be angry at Wang Jin's tone. They were more surprised by the identity of Chu Xiu.
Previously, they only knew that the person who came was from the Guanzhong Torture Room, but they did not expect it to be Chu Xiu, who had shown extraordinary talent in the God Weapon Conference a few days ago.
In fact, Chu Xiu's reputation in the land of Eastern Qi was even greater than that in the Guanzhong Torture Room.
After all, most of those who witnessed Chu Xiu's great power in the God Weapon Conference were warriors of Eastern Qi.
The Five Heroes of Jiangdong were all from the Eastern Qi, so they had naturally heard of Chu Xiu's reputation. There was a hint of seriousness in their eyes.
This person was not someone to be trifled with. Before and after the start of the Divine Weapon Conference, those who went against him were either dead or crippled. Ordinary people could only see Chu Xiu's reputation, but they could see the ruthlessness and savagery that was hidden deep in Chu Xiu's bones.
Cheng Buhui quietly pulled Wu Tiandong's arm, indicating that he should not have a conflict with Chu Xiu for the time being.
This time, they were here to protect Qiu Dongmao. Since Qiu Zhensheng's family was destroyed, Qiu Dongmao, as the only son of Qiu Zhensheng, might also be in danger.
At the same time, they also wanted to avenge their former benefactor, Qiu Zhensheng. It was meaningless to have a conflict with Chu Xiu here.
