Chapter 133: Yuan Family (Part 2)

Because he was not wearing a cloak and was not in the wilderness, Qi Xuansu put his two swords, which were difficult to hide, in his saddle bag and only carried a musket and a short sword.

When they were near the city gate, Qi Xuansu and Liu Hu both dismounted and led their horses.

When entering the city, Qi Xuansu still showed the token of the man in black, so that he didn't have to explain the origin of the musket. The soldiers guarding the city saw that Qi Xuansu was carrying a musket and a token, and his "granddaughter" was able to ride a horse at a young age, so they thought he was from a military family and let him go.

After the two arrived in Jiangling Prefecture, they did not go to the famous Taiping Inn to avoid trouble, but found a smaller inn, the kind of inn where people live on the second floor and eat on the first floor.

Qi Xuansu gave Liu Hu a peace of mind money and asked her to go through the procedures for checking in. He led the two horses to the stable at the back. He found that "Bu Yue" could actually understand human language, so he patted the saddle bag on it and said, "If anything is lost, I will hold you responsible." "Bu Yue" snorted, indicating that Qi Xuansu was relieved. Qi Xuansu then went to the lobby of the inn. Liu Hu had already checked in a room, holding two keys in one hand and a handful of change in the other. Qi Xuansu only took the key and waved to Liu Hu to take the change himself. It was just a peace of mind money. He was not Qi Niang. Liu Hu did not refuse and put the change directly into his purse. To outsiders, they looked more like a pair of grandfather and grandson. The two followed the waiter to the second-floor guest room, settled down, and returned to the first floor to order some food. Liu Hu asked subconsciously, "Don't you want to drink?"

Qi Xuansu immediately thought of the alcoholic Bodhisattva Man, and shook his head and smiled, "Forget it when you are out."

Liu Hu nodded and concentrated on eating.

Not long after, a group of people and horses whizzed past the door. Although it was a flash, it was vaguely seen that the leader was a young man, wearing brocade clothes and jade belts, and obviously from a good family.

Where the horse team passed, pedestrians avoided and panicked.

Seeing this scene, the innkeeper shook his head and sighed.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Boss, what is the background of that young man just now? He actually rode wildly in the downtown area of ​​the city and ignored the king's law."

"Are you a foreigner?" The innkeeper did not answer immediately.

Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "I passed by here."

The shopkeeper showed an understanding expression, and then said, "The man just now, who was from the local big family Yuan, is a Tai Sui-like figure. I heard that the old master Yuan is hosting a banquet in Taiping Tower to entertain guests today. This young man is probably in a hurry to attend the banquet."

"A Tai Sui-like figure." Qi Xuansu tasted the meaning of this sentence and already knew it.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard again, coming towards the inn.

The shopkeeper was startled and looked out subconsciously.

Not long after, the horse team just came back and stopped directly at the door of the inn.

The leading young man in brocade clothes turned over and dismounted, and strode into the inn.

The shopkeeper hurriedly came out from behind the counter and took the initiative to greet him, but before he got to the front, he was pushed by the young man's entourage and rolled to the side, knocking over a table and couldn't get up for a long time.

The guys were so scared that they didn't dare to breathe, let alone move.

The young man walked straight towards Qi Xuansu and Liu Hu, but his eyes were fixed on Liu Hu.

Qi Xuansu was not blind, so he naturally understood what was going on. But there was one thing he didn't understand. If Zhang Yuelu was sitting next to him, it would be fine. After all, Zhang Yuelu was both talented and beautiful. Not only Qi Xuansu liked Zhang Yuelu, but many young men from aristocratic families also coveted Zhang Yuelu, which showed that Qi Xuansu's vision was first-class and not surprising.

But Liu Hu was just an average-looking person, and this young man should have eaten and seen it before, so he shouldn't be like this. Could it be that he was used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas and wanted to change his taste?

The young man's name was Yuan Fengchan. He was born in the Yuan family. His father was Yuan Shangdao, the current head of the Yuan family, and his grandfather was the great Confucian Yuan Chongzong. It is said that in a family of scholars, family education is extremely strict, but it is not always the case. The so-called etiquette and family style still depend on the person. In front of friends and teachers, it is natural to be humble and polite, so that no one can find fault with it, but in front of "servants", there is no need to be so.

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of these noble families, etiquette is for people, not for "cows and horses".

Can the superior treat ordinary people as people? This is worth discussing.

The word "herdsman" can show his mentality.

Just now, Yuan Fengchan rode past the inn on horseback and accidentally saw Qi Xuansu and Liu Hu, the "grandfather and grandson". He only remembered Liu Hu's eyes, bright and lively, like stars. He had never seen them in his life, and he couldn't forget them. So after walking for a while, he couldn't help turning back. Just as Qi Xuansu expected, he was used to eating big fish and meat, and wanted to try porridge and side dishes.

Qi Xuansu stood up, cleared his throat, and was about to speak.

Yuan Fengchan had already said, "I am Yuan Fengchan, may I ask your name?"

Qi Xuansu said calmly, "This young master, this is inappropriate."

Yuan Fengchan did not speak, but one of his followers was anxious for the young master, stepped forward, and stretched out his hand to push Qi Xuansu.

"Old man, my young master didn't ask you, you have no right to speak here..."

Qi Xuansu let this person stretch out his hand and push him, but he did not move at all, but instead generated a recoil force, directly breaking this person's wrist.

This person's face immediately turned pale, and he took a few steps back, still maintaining the action of pushing people, not daring to move.

Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand and brushed his clothes: "I am talking to your young master, it is not your turn to interrupt."

The faces of the other followers changed and they immediately surrounded him.

Qi Xuansu's face was calm and he asked, "Are you going to...rob a commoner girl?"

A follower said coldly, "There is no commoner girl, there are only two thieves."

Qi Xuansu smiled.

In a sense, these people were right.

He is really a thief.

The thief who just killed a fourth-rank Taoist priest.

Because the Taoist sect vigorously suppressed secret societies, it encouraged people in the martial arts world to report members of secret societies. Some people in the martial arts world were afraid of revenge from secret societies afterwards, and they did not have the courage to offend the real secret societies, but they not only had the courage to use this incident to falsely accuse others, but also had great courage, and even set off a wave of false accusations. Whoever they had a grudge against, they would report to the Taoist sect that this person was a demon of the secret society.

At that time, there was a saying that when others said you were a demon of the secret society, you'd better really be a member of the secret society.

It is the same here and now.

When others say you are a lawless thief, you'd better really be lawless.

Liu Hu remained silent.

Along the way, she had some understanding of this Uncle Wei. No matter from which aspect, he was not merciful, and even a little cruel.

A fourth-rank Taoist priest of the Taoist sect could be killed, let alone these servants and lackeys.

The attendant did not dare to be too careless, and said in a deep voice: "In the territory of Jiangling Prefecture, no one dares to be rude to my son."

"Oh?" Qi Xuansu did not comment, "I have been to many places, and I will give you a word of advice. The temple is small and the demons are strong, and the water is shallow and there are many turtles. Don't take yourself too seriously."

The attendant was furious and stretched out his hand to draw his waist knife, with a cold light.

Several innkeepers were so scared that they hid aside with their heads in their hands.

The next moment, the attendant did not dare to move.

Because a musket was pressed against his forehead.

Qi Xuansu held the "Shenlong Hand Gun" and the hammer was already pressed down: "You are right, I am really a thief, a member of a secret society. If you dare to touch me today, we Lingshan Witch Cult will go to your house and kill people tomorrow. You don't have to scare me with the court and the Taoist sect. If you are afraid of the court and the Taoist sect, what kind of secret society are you?"

The attendant was silent for a moment, and seemed to have regained his confidence: "Do you dare to fire the gun?"

Qi Xuansu did not speak.

"Don't dare to fire the gun, what are you talking about..." The attendant suddenly made a move and was about to snatch the "Shenlong Hand Gun" from Qi Xuansu's hand.

A gunshot.

A dark blood hole appeared on the attendant's forehead.

He stared with his eyes wide open, fell heavily backwards, and died with his eyes open.

"I am timid and can't stand being frightened." Qi Xuansu reloaded the bullet without changing his expression, and his eyelids did not even twitch.

This time, no one asked Qi Xuansu if he dared to fire the gun, and no one even had the courage to stop Qi Xuansu from loading the ammunition. They just watched Qi Xuansu slowly loading the "Shenlong Hand Gun" with ammunition.

Qi Xuansu raised the hand gun again, this time pointing it directly at Yuan Fengchan, and said in a gentle tone: "Get lost."

Yuan Fengchan's face sank, and he took a step back, but he couldn't swallow this breath.

When had he ever been so angry at his own door?

But he was also a little scared.

If it was an ordinary Jianghu person, he would not be afraid. The more law-abiding and well-off, the less he had to worry about. He was just afraid that this old man was really a member of a secret society.

Among the many secret societies, the Lingshan Witch Cult was the most terrifying.

The Lingshan Witch Cult would avenge any grudge, and would punish the Lingshan Witch Cult no matter how far away they were. A real person had just died in the Taoist sect.
