How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 217

[217. Chapter 217 The world is gone, but chivalry remains.]

Wen Qingfeng, Xin Xianye?

A flash of lightning flashed in Lu Qian’s mind, and he instantly remembered. Aren’t these two the protagonists preparing to compete tomorrow night?

One is an inner disciple of Feitian Temple, and the other is an elite of Baiyue Liuguang Mountain.

Shouldn’t they be hostile to each other?

However, these two people were so good that they had sex with a woman together the day before the competition? Be brothers-in-law?

There must be something weird here!

“Master Lu, are you confused?”

At this time, Chunyu, a woman from Furongzhang, suddenly asked.

“What else do you know?”

Lu Gan raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes slightly, and gave off a cold light.

Chunyu sighed, her voice sounding a little sad: “Actually, the so-called competition is just a game.”

“A game?”

Lu Qian and Zuo Xi were both slightly startled by this sentence.

“That’s right. It’s just a game. Everything is controlled by Cao Cao, Feitian Temple, and the elders of Baiyue Liuguang Mountain. Otherwise, no one would add fuel to the flames, and this competition would not be known to everyone. Mingfeng Pavilion The number of guests will not increase several times in a few days.”

Chunyu’s voice became colder.

“In other words, what about Wen Qingfeng and Xin Xianye, who are secretly a pair of collusive friends?”

Lu Qian asked with a frown.

“That’s right. They have long coveted the beauty and body of the eight of us. Qiu Shuang and I have never let them succeed. But we didn’t expect that Taohua would be poisoned by them.”

The woman in the tent replied sadly.

“What about Cao He? He does all this just to improve the business of Mingfeng Pavilion? Feitian Temple, Baiyue Liuguang Mountain, and what is it for?”

Lu Qian didn’t believe it.

Cao He, a dignified steward of a county, earns an incredible amount of gold from Qingyang Dahe’s water transport every year. Why should he be greedy for such a small amount of money?

Chunyu sneered, which sounded bitter: “Not only does it increase business, Manager Cao also plans to make our Mingfeng Bayan famous and sell it at a high price. In addition, he has sent people to secretly cover up this competition. The winning or losing result of the trading has been decided, and when it is over, Guanshi Cao will make a lot of money. As for Feitianguan, Baiyue Liuguangshan, Wen Qingfeng, and Xin Xianye, the reputations of these two major factions have skyrocketed. He can also become famous, recruit disciples from wealthy families in the county, and charge large amounts of money for apprenticeships. “

Playing in an exhibition match? Match-fixing?

When Lu Qian heard this, his expression immediately became cold and cold, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

The most painful thing in his life is match-fixing and match-fixing!

This is really unreasonable!

“No!”

Lu Gan suddenly thought of something and his eyes turned cold: “There is a loophole in your words! Aren’t Mingfeng Bayan the eight money trees of Mingfeng Pavilion? Cao He is actually willing to sell you?”

“Alas. Chunyu

sighed: “Master Lu, who is in a high position and is appreciated by His Majesty, how can he know the plight of us Hualou women? Tonight, it is Yaochi and Hualu who are accompanying you. Do you know that the strange fragrance on Hualou’s body is there?” How did it come about? “

Coral? “

That child with a huge mouth, whose strange fragrance can attract the beauty of Xiaojia Jade surrounded by fishes?

Before Lu Gan could answer, Chun Yu sneered and said, “This strange fragrance is the fragrance produced when poisonous snakes are mating. Coral has been thrown into that snake cave since he was a child. He has been taking various secret medicines for eighteen years. , to create such a strange fragrance. Can you imagine how frightened a four or five-year-old girl would feel when she was entangled by a cold, wet snake?”

Lu Qian’s eyes narrowed when he heard this. Shrink.

“And our cultivation level.”

At this time, Chun Yu sneered again: “We are young, but we have cultivated to the 30th level of Gang Qi Realm. Sir, do you really think that our talents are comparable to the elites of the three major sects? That one It’s just that after we broke through the Gang Qi, we forcibly used the Tongqiao Sword Pill. It can be said that our physical body has exhausted its potential, and we will never reach fifty or eighty in our lifetime.”

The voice fell. , the room fell into complete silence.

Lu Gan’s face was very cold.

He just wanted to investigate the case, but he didn’t expect to hear such a cruel and inhumane thing.

“It has been three years since the name of the Eight Beauties of Mingfeng Pavilion was announced. It has been three years and the people in Qingyang County are tired of it. Men in this world are really annoying. They are all greedy for novelty. We can no longer make big money. This is also The reason why Manager Cao created the situation and wanted to sell us at a high price is because he already has a new group called Qingyang Thirteen Hairpins.”

When Chunyu said this, she smiled sadly: “Poor Thirteen Little Girls. , They admire the beauty of the eight of us every day, and are sought after by thousands of people, but they don’t know that the gift that Manager Cao is about to give them has already secretly marked the price for them. “

“You… are so smart! ?”

Lu Qian asked in a deep voice.

Cao He’s approach is a very traditional marketing package, public opinion building, publicity and promotion, and then a wave of high-price clearance.

The routine is old, but useful.

When the gold ingots falling from the money tree become increasingly scarce, people will naturally want to buy a new money tree.

This is the reason why Cao He, Feitian Guan, and Baiyue Liuguang Mountain hit it off and became treacherous.

But it’s a bit strange that a girl from Hualou actually knows so much.

“Master Lu, if we were not smart, how could we survive today?”

Chunyu smiled bitterly: “Taohua died because she trusted the wrong person. She thought that the White Jade Marquis Wen Zijun could save her from the sea of fire, but she didn’t expect Pushing her deeper into the eighteenth level of hell, she died, not from humiliation, but from despair.”

This sentence made Lu Qian completely silent.

A beautiful woman was first played and deceived by others, and then insulted by the person she trusted the most. After that, there was no hope of revenge, and the road ahead was dark.

How desperate she was… In the end, she could only choose to end the pain and free herself.

“Do you want to avenge Peach Blossom?”

Suddenly, Lu Gan raised his head and asked, a wisp of fire igniting in his eyes.

“Huh? Master Lu, what do you mean?”

Chun Yu in the hibiscus tent asked suspiciously.

Lu Gan pressed the hilt of his sword, his eyes as sharp as a sword, and said firmly: “I believe your words for now! But the murderer of Taohua’s death cannot be caught, and you can’t come forward to testify! Therefore, since the government can’t punish If evil promotes good, I intend to follow the rules of the rivers and lakes! “

“Uh… I have never been out of Qingyang County, and I don’t know what the rules of the rivers and lakes are. Please clarify,” Chun Yu

asked.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Just give me money, or… give me something valuable.” Lu Qian narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

“…Okay.”

Chunyu responded. Following the rustling sound of clothes, three breaths later, a pair of hands as white as jade opened the corner of the hibiscus tent and released a jade object beside the bed.

It was a jade hairpin, the tip of which shone with cold light and was extremely sharp.

“Master Lu, this is the weapon used by the slave family to commit suicide. I hope you can catch Wen Qingfeng and Xin Xianye, these two guys with human faces and animal hearts, and bring them to justice.”

The beauty in the tent sighed quietly.

“I will do it.”

Lu Gan stepped forward, took away the hosta, turned around and was about to leave, and continued to interrogate the other Ba Yan, Qiu Shuang.

“Master Lu!”

Suddenly, Chunyu shouted.

Lu Gan stopped and turned back.

“Master Lu, a sister I met when I was young once told me that a man’s mouth is the most untrustworthy in the world. I hope… you can let me believe it once.”

“As you wish.”

Lu Gan spat out four words coldly.

After saying that, he turned around and flicked his cloak, and he and Zuo Xi suddenly got out of the window and disappeared into the darkness.

An hour later, Zhenfu Division’s secret room.

With a bang, the door of the secret room opened. Zuo Xi walked in quickly and said solemnly: “I just went to intimidate two disciples of Feitian Temple and Baiyue Liuguang Mountain. After questioning, I found that the chivalrous and gentle Wen Qingfeng, the Happy Swordsman Xin Xian Ye has a bad reputation in their sect. They are all inferior to beasts. “

So what Chun Yu Qiu Shuang said is true? Is this all just a game?”

Lu Qian sat behind the stone table. , with a look as cold as snow, playing with the jade hairpin in his hand.

“Yes.”

Zuo Xi nodded silently.

When Xing Laodao, who was drinking at the side, heard this, he shook his head and sighed: “Oh, the world is no longer the same world. The chivalrous and tender feelings are no longer there. What’s left is all about fame and fortune.”

“Huh!”

Lu Qian snorted coldly, His eyes were faint: “The world is no longer the same world, so what? Chivalry is still there!”

This sentence made Zuo Xixing Lao Dao all look sideways: “Old Lu, what are you… planning to do? Going to assassinate again? Those two It’s hard to kill this guy with a Feitian realm master guarding him!”

“No!”

Lu Gan shook his head and narrowed his eyes: “Isn’t it Cao He, Feitian Guan, and Baiyue Liuguang Mountain who are planning to jump into the trap tomorrow? Come and play with them.”

There was a crisp sound as he finished speaking.

A system prompt popped up in his mind:

“The host’s reputation has improved, reaching the level of fame in Kyushu. The system is being updated… It has been detected that the host has a large number of hidden chivalry points, and the update has stopped.”

“Start settling chivalry points in advance.”
