Chapter 450: Chapter 451: I wonder which unlucky person is going to run into it this ti! Chapter 450: Chapter 451: I wonder which unlucky person is going to run into it this ti! “So, you’ve arranged everything, haven’t you?” Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, “Tell exactly how this operation works! Our reputation is at stake here; there can be no mistakes.”
Qingzhu steadied his mind and imdiately repeated the plan he had conceived earlier.
“Master, if we use our own brothers, things will be foolproof. When the ti cos, Master only needs to reap the benefits and take the opportunity to cause great chaos in Fengdu, forcing all the different powers to erge. Wouldn’t the task Master wants to accomplish beco much easier then?”
Qi Yue pondered for a while, seemingly hesitant.
“The approach isn’t bad, but this thod still doesn’t deviate from your previous thinking… Besides, having our elite Black Feather Guard impersonate petty thieves is quite beneath us…”
Qingzhu was thoroughly confused.
Had he misunderstood sothing?
When the Master raided other houses, did he really co to regard their belongings as his own?!
The clueless Qingzhu could only stand there, dumbfounded, watching Qi Yue pace back and forth on the ground, as if deciphering so difficult problem!
Suddenly, Qi Yue clapped her hands excitedly.
“Qingzhu, I’ve got a better idea. Since we are impersonating, why not find actual thieves to do the job?”
“Real thieves?” Qingzhu didn’t catch on at first, “Which thief would dare target the official residences in Fengdu?”
Qi Yue curled her lips dismissively.
“You’re just not thinking broadly enough. What kind of people don’t exist in this day and age? I refuse to believe that Nanyue Kingdom is much more peaceful than Beiyuan. Wasn’t there also a notorious Guyang thief before, right?”
When ntioning the Guyang thief, Qi Yue couldn’t help but touch her nose guiltily.
She had certainly made use of the Guyang thief’s na for her own deeds before!
Who knows which unlucky person would cross her path this ti!
Upon hearing this, Qingzhu suddenly saw the light!
“Master really has a brilliant plan! I will make arrangents imdiately.”
Saying this, he turned on his heel and left.
Qi Yue hurriedly called him back, uncertain, “What did you understand? Let’s hear it.”
Qingzhu chuckled.
“Master, rest assured, these are hard tis. There are quite a few vile bandits near Fengdu who definitely also want to strike it rich here.”
Hearing this, Qi Yue nodded, “That’s more like it, but be careful not to let innocent civilians die at their hands.”
“Yes, I will handle it.”
The Black Feather Guard were efficient in their work, and within two days, rumors had spread like wildfire on the streets of Fengdu.
So said they had seen Ma Laotian, the bandit leader from Tuyun Mountain, on the street with several fierce and evil n behind him, supposedly saying these n couldn’t rob enough food on the roads and had entered Fengdu instead.
Others claid that it wasn’t just the bandits from Tuyun Mountain who had co; even the one-eyed assassin Wolf Nine from the desolate northern mountains had also arrived.
Still others said that due to the hard tis, bandits and thieves had united and co to Fengdu, intending to smash the rice bowls of the nobles and so on.
That afternoon, Qi Yue was having tea at Fenglai Pavilion, enjoying the spectacle, when she felt sothing was amiss.
“Qingzhu, what’s happening? Are there really so many bandits and villains, even with nas to them?”
Qingzhu was also puzzled.
“I’m not quite sure either, the brothers just spread the word that the location of the Wei Family’s treasury in Fengdu had been exposed. I didn’t expect so many bandits to show up… Master, these rumors may not be reliable. Besides, the more outrageous the rumors, the better, isn’t it?”
“Better my foot!”
Qi Yue gritted her teeth; if she weren’t in public, she really wanted to give Qingzhu a fan on the head.
“I do not kill Boren, but Boren dies because of . These are all unscrupulous bandits; it’s one thing if corrupt officials and the privileged die, but what if civilians suffer? Won’t the bla fall on our heads?”
Qingzhu was instantly stunned.
He hadn’t considered that scenario.
“So what do we do?”
Qi Yue furrowed her brows and beckoned Qingzhu to co closer.
“Imdiately verify the truth behind these rumors, and investigate whether they have committed any atrocities…”
Before he finished speaking, soone unexpectedly patted his shoulder.
“Hey, are you the nephew the Liu Family found and brought back?”
In front of him stood a short man, about twenty years old, rugged in appearance, with a broad back and stout waist, dressed in a brand-new uniform of blue with a white background.
When he spoke, it seed the air was coming out through his nose, with a wheezing sound.
Qi Yue frowned.
She recognized the garb of a lower-ranking soldier of the Imperial City Division but didn’t understand why he would approach her.
Qingzhu had already stepped forward, shielding Qi Yue behind him.
“Who are you, and how dare you accost my master?”
The short man responded with an honest smile directed at both of them.
“Don’t be nervous, I’m Wei Renshan, one of the Imperial City Division.”
As he spoke, he even patted his uniform, looking quite proud of himself.
Qi Yue narrowed her eyes.
Qingzhu’s hand was already on the holes of his flute, his expression fierce and determined.
“You are from the Wei Family?”
Yet Wei Renshan seed oblivious to the impending danger, sitting down in front of Qi Yue and even pouring himself so tea to drink.
“I know you—” he said, pointing at Qingzhu with the hand holding his teacup.
“I’ve heard that your flute can kill people imperceptibly, very impressive; I admire that!”
Qingzhu’s expression didn’t change, “If you don’t get lost, believe it or not, I’ll kill you…”
Seeing that Wei Renshan didn’t appear to have any malicious intent, Qi Yue quickly stopped Qingzhu.
“May I know the reason for Master Wei’s visit?”
Wei Renshan finished his tea in one gulp, chuckling again.
“Master is too grand a title, and I dare not offer any advice,” he said, patting the uniform on his chest, implying that he was just a petty patrol officer.
“I am just patrolling the Imperial City, happened to pass by, and seeing the young master, I wanted to make acquaintance.”
This made Qi Yue puzzled.
She felt that Wei Renshan was similar to Afa, the kind of person whose mind doesn’t turn corners easily, and she gave a slight smile.
“Make acquaintance with ? My relationship with your family’s Master Wei Yixiao is not minor—we have quite a feud!”
“That’s exactly why I’ve co!” Wei Renshan slamd his teacup onto the table and stood up abruptly.
Qingzhu thought he was going to attack and instantly placed his flute against Wei Renshan’s neck.
Imdiately, a trickle of blood seeped from Wei Renshan’s neck.
Feeling the pain, Wei Renshan hastily raised his hands.
“I say, Master Chen, is it not possible for your attendant to be a little less jumpy, just have a talk between gentlen?”
Qi Yue’s lips twitched.
This Wei Renshan really is quite interesting.
“Qingzhu, let’s first listen to Master Wei’s intentions.”
Qingzhu gave Wei Renshan a fierce glare, full of disgust on his face.
This good-for-nothing dares to act brotherly with Master Qi Yue?!
Fortunately, he removed his flute, and Wei Renshan relaxed quite a bit.
“Young master, this attendant of yours is quite powerful, no wonder he beat my older sister like she was nothing.” Wei Renshan wiped the blood from his neck, laughing cheerfully.
Qi Yue and Qingzhu exchanged looks, both sharing the sa question in their minds.
Is this guy the brother of that psychotic Wei Yixiao?
