Three days later, in a private room of a restaurant.
Hu Dou stood guard outside the door, looking around as if he wanted to shout at the passersby, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen me guard the door?
His Highness had been weak since childhood and had never been valued by the Emperor. He could only rely on a eunuch of Half-step Exterior Scenery like him to protect him. Both of them were frustrated people, so they got along well with each other. However, in recent days, his Highness had been acting mysteriously and meeting people behind his back. This was something that had never happened before!
Hu Dou's spirit seemed to disperse and his senses were fully opened. His mind was like a mirror, reflecting the surroundings. He quietly sensed the movements in the private room, trying to figure out who the King Of Chu was meeting.
"This is my duty, to prevent the Prince from taking risks …" Hu Dou said to himself.
The round table, the sandalwood stove, the window frame and other things appeared in Hu Dou's mind one by one. Zhao Heng, the King of Wei, was sitting on the stool facing him. He had broken through the Oneness of Heaven and Men realm, so Hu Dou could only feel a little Qi of the True Dragon and the correspondence of heaven and earth. It was difficult to clearly reflect his appearance.
Opposite Zhao Heng, Hu Dou felt that there was no one there. Occasionally, the wind blew, proving his judgment. It was like looking up at the blue sky and seeing white clouds.
The sound was surrounded by the released genuine Qi and did not leak out at all.
Inside the private room, Zhao Heng saw the window open without a sound, and a green shadow slid in like an illusion, sitting casually in front of him. Picking up a piece of braised lamb with a pair of toothpicks, he put it into his mouth and chewed carefully.
"It's really the authentic grassland lamb …" Mengqi squinted his eyes with a satisfied expression.
Zhao Heng was startled because he felt that there should be no one in front of him. It was the wind and airflow. But his eyes, nose and ears clearly told him that Mengqi was sitting opposite him!
"The consummation of the Oneness of Heaven and Men and the return to simplicity …" Zhao Heng had been in Samsara for many years and had learned from his family, so it was not difficult for him to figure out Mengqi's situation. He was quite surprised because he had just opened Nine Acupores a year and a month ago!
However, only with this kind of improvement could he slay the Wolf King!
"Is there a result?" Mengqi asked after eating heartily for a while.
Zhao Heng nodded. "There are results."
"The Gu Changqing you're looking for came to Luoyang three years ago to look for relatives. He lived with the Xie family for half a year and was neglected. Later, he joined the Zhongzhou Escort Agency and moved to Drill Field Street. He's now the head of an escort and is escorting a batch of goods from the south. He'll arrive in a few days …"
Mengqi listened attentively. He planned to meet Gu Changqing when he returned to the capital. After all, Gu Changqing was the first friend he had made in Jianghu.
"Yang Wuliang is the Tai Shang Elder of a small sect in the southern part of Ning Province. He is a cruel and merciless man who colludes with the underworld. In order to obtain an Exterior skill, he was invited by the third brother to enter the capital as a Foreign Official." Zhao Heng went straight to the point. Gu Changqing then talked about Yang Wuliang. "Meng, why do you want to know about him?"
Mengqi took a sip of wine. "I'm loyal to someone. Yang Wuliang has done a lot of bad things, so he'll get what he deserves."
"You want to deal with him?" Zhao Heng frowned slightly. "I'm afraid it'll be difficult."
"Why?" Mengqi raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Heng said, "Luoyang is full of Exterior masters. There are two aristocratic families in the Chang Ming Alley where the third brother lives. Each of them has at least three Exterior masters. They'll be able to sense the slightest disturbance. Therefore, even grandmasters of the Terrestrial Rankings don't dare to cause trouble in the capital. If they find out, they won't be able to escape!"
"Moreover, the assassination of the Crown Prince has scared the third brother. As long as night falls, the formation of the mansion will be fully activated. Even an Exterior master can't sneak in without being noticed."
"Together with the eunuch Feng Zheng and the hidden masters of Prince Jin's Mansion, it'll be difficult to deal with Yang Wuliang."
Mengqi said thoughtfully, "Doesn't Yang Wuliang go out?"
"No. He's been studying the Exterior skills given by the third brother day and night. He wants to break through the limits of the Celestial Being Realm as soon as possible." Zhao Heng's investigation was very detailed.
Mengqi patted the table with his right hand as if to cater to the music outside. "I understand. Do you have detailed arrangements for Yang Wuliang's daily patrols and protection?"
"Don't be reckless. Maybe you'll have a chance to act openly in the future." Zhao Heng's expression changed slightly as he warned.
Mengqi smiled. "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
Seeing that Meng Qi's eyes were firm but not impetuous, Zhao Heng was slightly relieved. He told Meng Qi all the detailed information he had.
Mengqi listened quietly and had a plan in mind. He smiled and said, "Wait for me at the back door of your mansion at noon tomorrow. Be ready to activate the formation."
"What are you going to do?" Zhao Heng was not worried that Mengqi would implicate him. His past missions proved that he was very reliable.
Mengqi stood up and opened the window. He looked at the dark night outside.
"Foreign Officials protect people, not the ones being protected."
No matter how good the arrangement was, Foreign Officials could not enjoy it. On the contrary, they were the frontline to deal with danger!
This was the same as the Foreign Official he killed in Yi City!
The green robe fluttered. There was no one by the window.
…
The sun was so bright that people could not open their eyes. The heat and laziness hit them at the same time.
The autumn cicadas on the tree kept chirping hysterically. It made people feel more peaceful and wanted to sleep.
At noon in early autumn, people and things were infected with laziness. The patrolling guards were absent-minded.
"When I was roaming the Jianghu, I was warned by my seniors that the most dangerous time to be assassinated is at noon, not at night." Yang Wuliang led two of his subordinates to inspect the situation of the patrolling teams.
Although he was in his forties, he liked to call himself an old man.
The subordinate next to him was surprised. "Why not at night?"
Yang Wuliang stroked his long beard and laughed. "Anyone who can wander in Jianghu knows that it's a dark and windy night to kill. Naturally, they have to be vigilant. For example, they have to make all kinds of arrangements, and the spiritual sense brought by practicing the Primal Aperture. So on and so forth, it makes it difficult for the assassin to attack. At noon, the sun is bright, the darkness is gone, and the evil spirits are dispersed. It looks the brightest and safest, so the vigilance in the heart is naturally gone. "
"Coupled with this feeling of laziness, if you encounter an assassination, your reaction will be slow. Before you come to yourself, your head will be separated from your body."
The subordinate next to him said thoughtfully, "Thank you for your guidance."
He came from the Capital Martial Arts Club and entered Prince Jin's Mansion after he finished his studies. He did not have much experience in Jianghu. Now listening to Yang Wuliang, he felt that he had learned a lot.
Yang Wuliang nodded with satisfaction. Since he had entered Prince Jin's Mansion, he had to win people's hearts to avoid being excluded by other Foreign Officials.
He smiled and said, "Of course, this is only a trick in Jianghu. It's useless in Luoyang. There are experts of the Exterior everywhere. Which thief would dare to assassinate me in broad daylight?"
"Even if he succeeds, where can he run?"
"That's right. Eunuch Feng is a real expert of the Exterior!" Another subordinate echoed.
As they spoke, they turned to the side door and saw several guards who could not hide their laziness. They scolded them to cheer up.
"I'm sleepy in the afternoon …" One of the subordinates secretly yawned when the guards were not paying attention.
At this time, a cart carrying charcoal was pushed from the corner. Several guards separated to check and verify the personnel.
Yang Wuliang glanced at them and did not find anything unusual. He squinted his eyes and subconsciously avoided the bright sunlight. Then he turned around and prepared to inspect other places with the other two subordinates.
Just then, a man in blue who was pushing the cart straightened his back and strode forward. He jumped over the guards and came to Yang Wuliang's side.
The sun was shining brightly, and everyone was in a relaxed mood. When they noticed this change, they were slightly stunned.
The newcomer was none other than Mengqi. He had restrained the man who delivered the charcoal for a long time, waiting for Yang Wuliang to patrol to the door!
His right hand clenched into a fist and swung out, the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit fusing into one. His arm was perfectly straight, and his fist was like white jade, smashing down with a mighty momentum that could destroy all evils!
Yang Wuliang was also a little slow in reacting. He saw that the newcomer's face was simple and unsophisticated, his stature was imposing, and he had a kind of devilish charm. It was only when the fist landed that he realized who it was.
Good timing! He flew into a rage out of humiliation and shouted inwardly. Similarly, he clenched his fist and punched out. The surrounding waves rose up, deep and almost black like the boundless ocean, and with the force of a thousand catties, it met the pure white fist that seemed like a Ruyi Scepter.
Beside Prince Jin, Feng Zheng's half-closed eyes suddenly opened as he sensed the changes in the Heaven and Earth Energy.
As the fist descended, it transformed into a claw, and its five fingers became illusory. Unexpectedly, it took the initiative to direct Yang Wuliang's fist and the wave towards itself.
Bang!
Yang Wuliang's body involuntarily fell forward, and his fist hit the opponent's palm. He felt that it was soft, like silk or a web, but it was also a spider's web weaved by gold and silver threads. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break it.
Damn it! He saw the opponent's left hand turn up and strike down from above. His five fingers were pure white and slender, full of a strange charm. The palm was dim, as if the world was turned upside down and the universe was broken!
In Mengqi's Inner World, his Primordial Spirit sat high up in the center. Below him, the Nine Apertures and internal organs transformed into Heavens, and the Aperture acupoints deduced layers of universes.
It seemed that there was no distinction between front and back, left and right, and there was no distinction between the past and the future. All of a sudden, it raised its hand, and from the sky, the universe was destroyed, and everything returned to the beginning!
The boundless and boundless will and the terrible sense of destruction mixed together, and the inside and outside merged together, inseparable!
Mengqi's left hand followed the trajectory of the Primordial Spirit's palm. The two overlapped, as if enveloping everything and sealing all changes.
Feng Zheng got up, and for a moment, he was a little hesitant whether it was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He didn't know whether it was better to protect Prince Jin and order other Foreign Officials to rescue him and activate the formation, or to do it himself.
In the other houses, there were strong consciousnesses emerging, but they had not yet swept over.
Facing this palm, Yang Wuliang was scared out of his wits, but the strength of his right hand was being sucked away by the opponent, so he could only raise his left hand to block.
Crack!
Darkness erupted, and heaven and earth turned upside down. Yang Wuliang's left hand was knocked back, and the white and slender fingers were imprinted on his forehead!
His head burst open, and milky white blood gushed out. Borrowing the strength of Yang Wuliang's right fist, Meng Qi flipped over and retreated, avoiding the encirclement of several guards, and leaped out of the door.
Feng Zheng no longer hesitated, and chased with all his strength. His body was as fast as smoke, and it was hard to see his trace.
Mengqi ran into the street, and hid in the crowd.
Feng Zheng's face was ashen, and he gradually flew up, and was about to catch up with him.
Right at this moment, the aura vanished! Inexplicably disappeared!
His pupils shrank, and he looked around, only to see that the passersby were normal, laughing or hurrying, and the nearby mansions had all activated their formations, including the Mansion of Prince Wei in Many Children Alley.
"Damned bastard!" He was seething with anger.
…
"The most difficult part of killing someone in Luoyang is actually how to escape, but I'm not worried about that." In the Mansion of Prince Wei, Mengqi smiled at Zhao Heng.
A Reincarnation Talisman was about to fall into his hands!
