"North Street …" Green-ribbon Arrester Dai Fei heard Wang Siyuan's words from Mengqi. He put his hands behind his back, frowned, and paced back and forth.
At this time, Slivery-badge Arrester Yu Wangyuan, Money Gang Leader Sun Ke, "Five Emperors' Knife" Qing Yu, and the others had left. Only Mengqi and Jiang Hengchuan stayed with him.
Neither of them spoke, patiently waiting for Dai Fei to speak.
After a while, Dai Fei finally stopped. He looked at Meng Qi and Jiang Hengchuan expectantly. "I'll have to trouble you two with this."
"Green-ribbon Dai, why do you say that?" Jiang Hengchuan returned the gesture.
Dai Fei organized his words. "North Street is backed by the Jin River. It's full of people. It's the best place to hide. To be honest, no matter how many Heterodox masters or killers there are, as long as the Six Fan School, the Wang family, and the Dajiang Gang make up our minds, no one can stop us from sealing off the street and searching.
"If that's the case, there will be an Exterior guard at each corner of the street to prevent the people inside from doing anything desperate. Then the arresters and bailiffs will search from house to house. After confirming that there are no problems, they will be driven out of the street. As the number of people decreases, no one will be able to hide."
He first described the most important way to convince Mengqi and Jiang Hengchuan that the Six Fan School was not shirking responsibility and showing their sincerity.
Mengqi gently nodded. This was the attitude and power that a righteous force should have.
Dai Fei changed the topic. "But North Street has been in chaos for a long time. Various forces are fighting each other. Who knows how many houses have tunnels leading to other places. If we seal off the street and search, we will alert the enemy. Wolf King will leave through the tunnel, sneak into the Jin River, or go to other streets in Maoling, and then leave.
"The people on North Street are very familiar with the masters in Maoling. If I go in, I will also arouse their vigilance. You two are outsiders and haven't been in Maoling for long. As long as you disguise yourself, you will be able to enter smoothly without causing too much noise. Then you can find our spies and track Wolf King.
"Once you are sure, you can send a signal. I guarantee with my position that at least one Exterior master will arrive in the shortest time. I believe that with your strength, even if you encounter Wolf King's sneak attack, you can hold out until our help."
He flattered them in secret, hoping that they would agree.
Meng Qi hated Wolf King to the core for being ambushed for no reason. He thought for a moment and immediately replied, "I have no problem with that."
"I'm such a vengeful person!"
"I have no problem with that either." Jiang Hengchuan's expression was one of eagerness.
"Thank you. If you need our Six Fan School in the future, just let us know." Dai Fei cupped his hands in obeisance. "I'll arrange for a constable who's good at disguise to come over. You can tell him what appearance you want to use to enter North Street."
"Image …" Meng Qi's heart skipped a beat. "Green-ribbon Dai, help me prepare a white robe."
…
Inside the room, Meng Qi tidied up his clothes. His clothes were whiter than snow, and he had a long sword strapped to his waist. He was carrying a bag containing Heaven Inflicted Pain on his back.
"Fei" Mqi said and Feng and "Yi" Ling. Fei Fei Long, and and and Men. "Yi Yi" and "White"
"Fei Wan Siand and Fei and and and and Yu Yi. and Yu Yu Dong and Yi."
"My smile is too bright. It doesn't match a swordsman …"
"I have to smile a bit coldly. That's the way a swordsman should be …"
"I can't relax my eyebrows. I have to look serious. Otherwise, I'll look frivolous …"
"No, my smile is too evil. It's not suitable for a cold swordsman who uses the Heavenly Fairy …"
"I can't be cold either. I have to be a bit romantic …"
"Pfft! Why do you have such a stiff face? Have you been infected by Senior Brother Qi …"
After a long while, Meng Qi finally pushed open the door to the room.
Outside, Green-ribbon Arrester Dai Fei and Jiang Hengchuan's eyes lit up. They almost could not recognize Meng Qi. Previously, "Killing Blade" Su Meng's facial features were outstanding, but overall, he looked heroic and masculine. But now, he was dressed in snow-white clothes and had a handsome face. There was a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, making him look both romantic and cold. Coupled with the long sword at his waist, he looked like an indescribable swordsman.
"Good!" Dai Fei came back to his senses and shouted, "Even I can't recognize you, Brother Su, let alone someone from North Street who has never seen you before."
Jiang Hengchuan chose the most suitable disguise for himself. He restrained the natural sense of Oneness of Heaven and Men and added some traces of being exposed to the sun and rain. He really looked like a farmer. No one would believe that he was one of the top ten young talents on the Ranking List of Young Masters.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Master Su, if we walk together, people will think that I'm your follower."
"Old Jiang, with your image, don't even think about being a page boy. You'd better be a follower. You have a bright future." Mengqi said in a "serious" tone.
Jiang Hengchuan shook his head and laughed. "That's fine. I'll be your follower, lest people find it strange."
Mengqi took off the Meridian from his waist and held it in his hand. He walked out of the hall at a leisurely pace.
"Why aren't you following me?"
Jiang Hengchuan and Dai Fei were stunned. "He's getting into character so quickly?"
…
It was late when they entered North Street, but there were many pedestrians on the street. Some were selling flowers, some were selling sugar-roasted chestnuts, and some were selling cakes and jewelry. It was as lively as daytime.
From time to time, good-looking women would come out of the courtyards of the seemingly low and old houses on both sides to attract customers. They would wave their red scarves or sing sweetly and seduce people with their soft words.
"Don't underestimate them. Maybe there are a few excellent killers hiding among them and they'll give you a fatal blow when you're in ecstasy." Jiang Hengchuan was from River East and had heard of North Street in Maoling.
Mengqi held his long sword, his white robe fluttering. He looked steadily forward and the smile at the corner of his mouth made him look even colder.
"Is that so?" he asked briefly.
Jiang Hengchuan dutifully acted as his follower. "Yes. It's rumored that when outsiders come to North Street, if they don't know how to restrain themselves and their Kung Fu isn't outstanding, they may be found lying naked on the side of the road the next day and all their belongings will be looted. If they don't have a powerful background, they may even be found dead in a corner."
He looked around, looked at the little girl selling flowers and the little boy playing on the street, and said in a low voice, "When necessary, they can instantly become killers. It's impossible to guard against them."
"Not a bad chaotic place," Mengqi said casually.
His outstanding charm and his elegant white robe attracted a lot of attention.
Then, Mengqi used Secret Voice-sending to say, "A place with people can't really be chaotic. As time passes, orderly rules will form under the initial appearance of chaos. Killers have their own rules and their leaders. Prostitutes also have their own rules and their spokespeople. As long as you understand the real context, you can see through the chaos and see the truth."
"Yes." Jiang Hengchuan said cheerfully, "In some places, if a purse is stolen, it's useless to find the arrester. But if you find the right person, the purse will be returned to you in a short time. What we need to find is the 'right person'."
At this time, a little girl came over with a flower basket. "Young Master, buy a bouquet of flowers. All the girls like it."
She was about 14 or 15 years old and had tried to squeeze through the crowd. When she was about to approach, she suddenly saw the sheathed sword hit her flower basket, making a few crisp metallic clangs.
Her expression changed, but she saw that the young man in white was looking steadily forward, as if the person beside him was not a thief or killer, but a real flower girl.
Mengqi sighed in his heart. He felt that there was indeed filth in the secular world. If he had the chance, he would never let go of those bastards who turned children into inhumane killers.
"Li Xingkong is such a 'right person'." He calmly stated his goal. After the scene just now, there were no more flower sellers or sugar-roasted chestnuts pestering him along the way.
Li Xingkong was one of the moderately influential people on North Street. He kept a group of machetemen and swordsmen and protected a group of people who relied on intelligence for a living. He had secretly joined the Six Fan School and was the primary target that Green-ribbon Arrester Dai Fei had asked them to find.
The moonlight was dim tonight. The small building away from the main street was shrouded in darkness, with only a little flickering candlelight.
Inside the small building, Li Xingkong held a saber in one hand and covered the wound on his waist with the other. He leaned against the pillar and looked at the people in front of him with hatred. "We are brothers. How dare you betray me? Why did you betray me? "
Blood kept flowing from the fingers of his left hand. Obviously, he was seriously injured.
The candlelight flickered in the room, and the shadows were heavy. It was indescribably gloomy.
The leader of the opposite side was bathed in the shadows. He snorted and said, "You are too insensible. How dare you refuse the Snake King's invitation. What do we brothers risk our lives for? For glory, splendor, wealth, and countless gold and silver! You don't consider us at all for your own status and selfishness. Have you ever treated us as brothers? "
The man's face was flushed with excitement. He was in his thirties and fairly good-looking. His figure was slightly trembling because of what he had done, but his hand holding the saber was unusually steady. There was still blood dripping from the tip of the saber.
It was this saber that had pierced Li Xingkong's waist just now!
There were four other people beside him. They were all brothers who had built the current foundation with Li Xingkong. But at this moment, they had all betrayed him.
Li Xingkong gnashed his teeth and was about to shout that he had laid the safest and least troublesome way out. Suddenly, he looked out of the window with a cold look in his eyes. The man who had stabbed Li Xingkong also looked out of the window.
The man who had stabbed Li Xingkong looked over, and his eyes were also frozen. He saw a handsome man in white standing on a tree outside the building. He was young and handsome, and he looked at him emotionlessly. There was a chilling coldness in his casual demeanor, which was just like the sword in his hand, sharp, cold, and straight!
Then he saw moonlight, the most beautiful moonlight in his life.
This was also the last time he saw moonlight.
The body fell to the ground. Mengqi stepped into the small building, followed by Jiang Hengchuan, who looked like a farmer.
"What did Snake King promise you?" He pointed his long sword downwards. Drops of blood gathered at the tip of the sword and slowly dripped on the wooden board.
The other four people were in fear and trepidation, unable to speak properly.
They had fought in North Street and were good at assassination and sneak attacks. When they saw Mengqi's white robe fluttering in the wind, they looked at each other and suddenly drew their sabers. They each took a side and cooperated tacitly.
Mengqi didn't even look back. His sword flashed and stopped in front of one of the men's throat. He was so scared that he stopped in a hurry. The other three men covered their throats and fell to the ground.
"Can you answer now?" Mengqi's voice was indifferent. He had learned from the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms.
At the same time, he signaled Jiang Hengchuan to treat Li Xingkong's wound with his eyes.
"I, I'll tell you." The only survivor was scared out of his wits. He was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
