Chapter 135 Anger
Zhang Yuelu was startled and turned his eyes to the stairs.
Not long after, accompanied by footsteps, a Taoist in black came up to the second floor. He had a mustache. It was Pei Xiaolou.
Including Yuan Chongzong, they all stood up and bowed.
Pei Xiaolou just clasped his fists in return.
"Miss Zhang, how have you been since we parted at Shangqing Palace?" Pei Xiaolou wiped his mustache with his thumb and walked straight to the round table where Zhang Yuelu was.
Zhang Yuelu suppressed her shock and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master Pei. I'm fine."
Pei Xiaolou walked to a gentleman and knocked on the table with his hand: "Excuse me, please make room for me."
The gentleman did not dare to neglect him and quickly stood up and gave the chair to Pei Xiaolou.
Pei Xiaolou sat down and said, "Since he is fine, it seems that my brother Qi has no place in Miss Zhang's heart."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt a chill of murderous aura.
Zhang Yuelu's face was cold, staring at Pei Xiaolou: "Master Pei, don't joke with Tianyuan."
Others were confused.
From the few words they said, it was obvious that they knew each other, and there was a "Brother Qi" involved, who seemed to be called Qi Tianyuan. He could be on good terms with Master Tang, and seemed to have some unclear relationship with Zhang Yuelu. Most likely, he was also a great figure in the Taoist sect, but from what Zhang Yuelu said, he was already dead.
This might involve the internal struggle of the Taoist sect, which was turbulent and treacherous, so it was better not to know.
Pei Xiaolou stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Yuelu to sit down, and said: "I thought Miss Zhang would cry, but it seems that I was wrong. Miss Zhang is not a weak woman who only knows how to cry. I am ashamed of myself."
Zhang Yuelu took a deep breath and sat down slowly.
She hadn't gone to Pei Xiaolou for the matter of Wei Wugui, but Pei Xiaolou took the initiative to come to her.
Although the two held the same position, Cihang Zhenren and Donghua Zhenren were equals, and she and Pei Xiaolou were of different generations. In terms of Taoist rank, Pei Xiaolou was a second-rank Taiyi Taoist, which was beyond her reach. According to the rules of Taoism, she could not be rude to Pei Xiaolou.
The key point was that she did not know Pei Xiaolou's intention.
Zhang Yuelu was silent for a moment, and then came to the point: "Why did Master Pei come to Jiangling Mansion?"
"Miss Zhang can come, but I can't?" Pei Xiaolou poured himself a glass of wine, "Miss Zhang has a job with Jinque, and I also have a job with Wanshou Chongyang Palace. I have to inspect the various palaces and Taoist temples in Quanzhen Dao. Huzhou is the last one."
"I see." Zhang Yuelu looked at Pei Xiaolou, "Has Master Pei heard about the Zixian Mountain? Zixian Mountain is also in Quanzhen Dao and is under the jurisdiction of Wanshou Chongyang Palace. This case also involves the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce in Jiangling Mansion. I wonder how Master Pei will deal with it?"
Pei Xiaolou said seriously: "Of course, it will be dealt with strictly and severely. No one can be let go."
Zhang Yuelu said: "That's good."
Pei Xiaolou suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, Tianyuan..."
Zhang Yuelu's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help asking: "What happened to Tianyuan?"
At this time, the "Tianyuan" mentioned by the two people, that is, Qi Xuansu, had knocked all of Yuan Fengchan's followers to the ground, leaving only Yuan Fengchan standing.
Qi Xuansu sat on a bench with his hands on his knees, one of his hands holding the "Shenlong Hand Gun".
Except for the first shot, which was more intimidating, Qi Xuansu did not fire again, but used the hand gun as a hammer to hit several followers until their brains burst.
His original intention was to scare the young man away with the hand gun, and then get away. After all, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. But he didn't expect Yuan Fengchan and his followers to be so bold that they tried to grab the gun first. Qi Xuansu fired the gun almost instinctively and killed one person. But the death did not scare Yuan Fengchan, so it became the current situation.
Qi Xuansu was also very troubled.
He wanted to leave, but he was afraid of implicating this innocent shopkeeper, so he waited here for the government officials to come, so that he could lead the government officials away and get rid of the shopkeeper.
Qi Xuansu laughed at himself. He was really poisoned by Zhang Yuelu and became a kind person. He was not so fussy in the past!
Qi Xuansu looked at Yuan Fengchan: "Should I say that you are a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers? Or are you sitting in a well and looking at the sky? Sometimes, you should retreat when you should, and then ask for it back in the future. If I were like you, I would have died eight hundred times earlier. You are the real fool."
Yuan Fengchan's face was pale, but he was still calm. He found that he underestimated this old guy.
You know, his followers were all good players and had already touched the edge of the Kunlun stage, but they were easily dealt with by this man, which put him in danger.
However, when such a thing happened, someone had already reported it to the government. But the person who reported it to the government was sent by Qi Xuansu on his own initiative, and he was also a waiter of this inn. In this way, the inn's relationship could be completely cleared.
In Yuan Fengchan's eyes, this was Qi Xuansu's arrogance and he didn't even take the government into consideration.
After a while, Liu Hu had packed his luggage and led two horses to the door of the inn.
A moment later, the footsteps of a large group of people were heard.
The son of the Yuan family was kidnapped by criminals, and the local government naturally did not dare to neglect it, especially since the master of the family was invited to the banquet by the old master Yuan, so they sent officials to rescue him while sending people to notify the master and the Yuan family.
Naturally, these official officials cannot be compared to the men in black, and they are far inferior to the Qingluan Guards. Qi Xuansu grabbed Yuan Fengchan, jumped on the back of "Bu Yue", and just held Yuan Fengchan with one hand and clamped the horse's belly, in full view of the public. Walk away in a hurry.
After all, Liu Hu also had the Kunlun stage of cultivation, so he was not afraid at all and followed Qi Xuansu.
There is no way to stop these officials, not to mention that Yuan Fengchan is still in the hands of Qi Xuansu, so he dare not stop him.
Because the matter was in a hurry, the city gate was still wide open. In addition, Jiangling Mansion had been at peace for a long time and it was broad daylight. Naturally, the people assigned to guard the city gate were not elites, so Qi Xuansu and Liu Hu rushed out of the city easily. .
Yuan Fengchan was held in one hand by Qi Xuansu, unable to move, and was filled with fear.
He is being held hostage by thieves, and if he is not careful, he will lose his life. How can he not be afraid?
On the other side, Pei Xiaolou just said "Tian Yuan's life is miserable" and then said nothing more, which made Zhang Yuelu angry.
At this moment, the people from the prefect's Yamen bravely came to the second floor where the atmosphere was strange, found their master, and whispered a few words softly.
The prefect stood up subconsciously.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on the prefect.
The Lord Magistrate calmed down, made eye contact with Yuan Shangdao, and coughed lightly.
In fact, some of the people here have already heard what was whispered.
Pei Xiaolou rubbed his ears and pretended to be surprised: "The young master of the Yuan family was kidnapped by a cult monster?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.
Yuan Chongzong suddenly turned his head to look at the magistrate. He no longer showed his usual kindness, only fierceness and evil aura.
The prefect smiled bitterly: "Yes."
Zhang Yuelu also heard the whisper and said, "Why did that person kidnap Mr. Yuan? There must be a reason."
The prefect hesitated and did not dare to answer.
The visitor made it very clear that it was Mr. Yuan who took the initiative to provoke others, but ended up kicking the iron plate. Whether he was a cult demon or not is still open to question.
It was about his son. Yuan Shangdao suddenly became angry and shouted: "The demons of evil cults always act unexpectedly. Why didn't Deputy Hall Master Zhang ask why the Lingshan Witch Cult destroyed the flying boat?"
Zhang Yuelu couldn't be considered to have a good temper, otherwise he wouldn't have broken one of Xu Kou's hands. He was touched repeatedly today and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Many people will feel that the figure flashes.
The next moment, Zhang Yuelu had already pinched Yuan Shangdao's throat and lifted him up with just one hand so that his feet were off the ground.
As a member of the Confucian sect, Yuan Shangdao also had the cultivation level of returning to the true state. However, facing Zhang Yuelu, he was unable to fight back and was captured by Zhang Yuelu with the "Six Void Tribulations" move.
Putting aside the factors of being relegated to immortals and the "Six Void Tribulations", this is also the difference between entering the stage of returning to one's true nature and immediately becoming a heavenly being.
Zhang Yuelu said in a cold voice: "Our people have done nothing wrong. You know exactly what kind of virtue your son has. Is he worthy to be compared with...our Taoist disciples?"
Yuan Chongzong's expression changed, and he wanted to save his son, but just as he was about to get up, someone held his shoulders down and sat back down.
Yuan Chongzong turned his head and looked with anger, and saw that Pei Xiaolou was standing beside him at some point, with a palm pressing on his shoulder.
Pei Xiaolou held the wine glass in his other hand and took a sip of wine: "Brother Yuan, as for young people, elders should not roll up their sleeves and wave their fists. If you want to stretch your muscles, brother, I will How about risking your life to accompany the gentleman?"
