Chapter Thirteen
"The imperial court must give an explanation as soon as possible about the affairs of the Wu family in the south of the city and the affairs of the two Zhao Ximen in the north!"
In the Le'an County government office, Liang Dong and the heads of more than a dozen families stood in front of the county magistrate Wei Changzhong and said in a deep voice: "It is known that four heads of families have been killed! They were killed without anyone noticing, if not
To put it bluntly, who will dare to live in Le'an in the future?"
Another family head said with an angry face: "Seventy years! In the past seventy years, even during the great chaos seventeen years ago, such a shocking case has never happened in Le'an! If this matter is not investigated as soon as possible,
, everyone in Le'an City is in danger!"
"Master Wei, our Wu family in the east of the city also needs an explanation for this matter."
Suddenly, another person said coldly.
The man's beard and hair were all white, and his face was withered and old, but there was no trace of old age in his eyes, instead he was shrewd and sharp.
This man is Wu Xiao, the head of another Wu family in Le'an City, known as Mr. Wu. He is now sixty-nine years old and is about to reach his seventies. He is still strong and strong, and single-handedly controls all the affairs of the Wu family.
When it comes to the murder of the four family heads, he may be different from other families just because they are just as sad as a rabbit or a fox.
The Wu family in the south of the city is his ancestral family. If you turn over more than a dozen pages in the genealogy, you might be able to establish a kinship relationship. Now that the head of the Wu family in the south of the city has been killed, he is not only saddened by the death of a rabbit but also worried about whether he, the head of the Wu family in the east of the city, will be implicated!
County Magistrate Wei Changzhong looked at the people in front of him and felt terrified.
No one with a simple background could come to the county government office and stand in front of him.
The head of the Liang family, Liang Dong, was once the editor of the Seventh-grade Hanlin Academy, at the same level as him. Twenty years ago when he was still weak, he was known as the Ten Wings of the Mulberry Party. He was a hot new star at the time and had good friends with many important families in the capital.
It was a pity that the new emperor suppressed the Mulberry Party after winning the great treasure. Liang Dong was implicated and returned to his hometown, so he did not continue to serve as an official in the court. However, he also became famous for his literature in the past few years and became a famous scholar in Heyang County.
One call and a hundred responses.
There is also the head of the family who Liang Dong spoke about later. His eldest son was ranked second in high school the year before last and is serving as a concubine in the palace. He has a promising future. He himself has close contacts with many famous officials in Heyang County and cannot be easily offended.
Speaking of Mr. Wu, he was not a civil servant, but a military general. He had participated in the suppression of many rebellions and rebellions in the Yu State, reaching the highest rank of the fifth rank. Later, he returned to peace and happiness when he was old.
These three people alone have already made Wei Changzhong feel a little overwhelmed. The other family heads also have profound backgrounds. If he can't say a word well, he will be in big trouble in the future!
With the energy of this group of people, once they unite, they can completely put his official position and even his life at risk!
only……
Thinking of the letters he received a few days ago, County Magistrate Wei said in a deep voice: "I will definitely find out the answer to the assassination of several family heads, so don't be anxious. It just so happens that you are all here this time, and I want to ask you something.
, please tell the truth."
The family heads frowned, and after looking at each other, their eyes finally fell on Wei Changzhong.
"I wonder what Mr. Wei wants to ask?" Liang Dong took the lead and asked.
"Prince Mu sent people to Le'an some time ago to investigate the treasures of the former An Le Gong. I wonder if you can know some secrets?"
…
In the Liang Mansion, Liang An ate a hen stewed with red dates and old wine to nourish his body, which was depleted of energy and blood after ascending to the Seventy-Two Swords of Yunyu.
After upgrading the Seventy-Two Swords of Yunyu, he felt so happy when he practiced, but as happy as he was at the time, he felt so embarrassed afterwards... The depleted energy and blood combined with the restless energy and blood after practicing the moves made him unable to stand firmly, even if
The food was all placed on the desk, and he couldn't crawl over to eat it. It wasn't until Liang Duxin came to find him that he discovered that he had almost passed out!
Liang Duxin was so frightened that he immediately called the doctor and prescribed a lot of nourishing prescriptions and medicated foods. This caused Liang's mother Zhao Huanzhen to burst into tears, asking him to take good care of himself.
The Liang family was in a state of uproar.
"I simply assume that I was frightened by the assassinations of several family heads, and did not reveal any experience points... Sigh!"
Sighing, Liang An threw the chicken carcass on the table and glanced at the sword hanging on the bedside, intending to practice the Seventy-Two Swords of Yunyu and improve with proficiency.
However, after carefully sensing his physical condition, he wisely gave up this plan.
With his current physical condition, if he wanted to practice swordsmanship, he would probably faint from exhaustion by accident!
"The consumption of energy and energy by continuously improving is still too much. I can never do this again in the future. If it weren't for the outer swordsmanship of the Seventy-Two Swords of Yunyu this time, it would not have done much to transform my body. It only made my hands stronger.
It's the transformation and consumption of Wufang Quan from sick to healthy. I'm afraid that before the transformation is over, I will be drained of energy and cause big problems. I may not even be able to save my life!"
While secretly complaining that he was too reckless, Liang An made certain plans to use experience points to improve his skills in the future to avoid the same situation happening again.
"Lesheng, are you there?"
Suddenly, when Liang An was planning, Liang Dong walked in, took a look at the old wine-braised hen that Liang An had finished, and said: "Do you feel better? Alas, don't be too concerned about the things of the family heads.
Don’t worry. Your body has always been weaker than others and cannot withstand the torment, you know?"
"father."
Liang An instinctively wanted to stand up and greet him according to the etiquette in his memory, but Liang Dong waved his hand.
"Just sit quietly and I'll tell you something."
Pulling up a stool and sitting on the bedside, Liang Dong said in a deep voice: "After this incident, I feel that Le'an City is a little unsafe, and Li Huyuan has something to do. Please don't go out these days.
Like I did a few days ago when I went out to visit and look for books, I put them down first."
Liang An nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and then asked: "Dad, why were those family heads assassinated? Apart from other things, Uncle Wu is usually kind to others. He has never heard of offending anyone. Who would do such a cruel thing?
"
Liang Dong sighed and said, "Dad doesn't know about this either. Several family owners in the city and I went to the county government to ask, but we didn't get a reply. Instead, we were asked about some things about Anle Gong's treasure. Lesheng, you
I met Zhou Dao and Hu San'er before and heard them talk about Anle Gong's treasure. I'm afraid someone will ask about it later. Just tell the truth about this, but you must also be careful not to let them catch you.
Keep talking and cause unnecessary trouble."
"I see."
After receiving a positive reply, Liang Dong breathed a sigh of relief and said again: "By the way, how have you been doing with your sword practice recently? I heard from Xu Huyuan before that you are quite fast in swordsmanship. Now that you are in good health, give me some practice.
have a look."
"No problem. Dad, have you started practicing Wufangquan? It's also good to practice physical fitness in your free time."
"Let's talk about it..."
After chatting for a while, Liang Dong left in a hurry, saying that he had something else to deal with.
…
In the next few days, Liang An did not practice swordsmanship or Wufangquan. He just cultivated peacefully. At most, he practiced Chaoyang Yiqigong, which had been quiet every morning. Occasionally, he asked if there were any murders in the city.
occurrences, especially murders related to various family heads.
However, except for the four family heads who died that day, there was no trace of the murderer. People can't help but speculate that those four family heads may have caused something, so they were assassinated overnight.
This morning, Liang An, who was in good health, was as usual. When the sky was about to get dark, he stood in the courtyard in the Hunyuanzhu posture, looking at the east, relaxing his body and mind according to the method of Chaoyang Yi Qigong, breathing long and absorbing the morning sun.
Purple air.
I don’t know if it was because he had been practicing for a long time. When the time came, Liang An, who had never felt that he had absorbed the energy of the morning sun, suddenly felt that during this practice, there seemed to be a warm breath blending into his forehead and between his eyebrows, as if he was being absorbed by the sun.
It's shining, but the sun hasn't risen yet!
After being stunned for a moment, Liang An immediately felt ecstatic in his heart.
Have I just started to practice Chaoyang Yi Qigong?
The mood swings and the feeling of warm breath disappearing instantly.
Liang An hurriedly calmed down his emotions and wanted to continue absorbing the purple energy of the morning sun.
But emotions are not something he can control if he wants to. When he really calms down his emotions and becomes calm, the sun has already risen. At this time, it is no longer suitable to practice Chaoyang Yi Qigong.
According to the previous comments in "Chaoyang Yiqigong", after the sun rises, there will only be the essence of the sun, which is hot and dry. Not only will it not have a health-preserving effect after absorption, but it will also easily destroy the person's own yin and yang balance.
, causing a series of problems.
"Damn! What a waste!"
Staring at the rising sun, Liang An felt as if he had lost money while walking on the street, full of unwillingness and regret.
However, this unwillingness and regret only lasted for a moment. He quickly recovered his mood and closed his left eye to check his status.
Wufangquan: Mastery
Seventy-two Swords of Yunyu: Mastery
Chaoyang Yi Qigong: Beginner
Hanmo Danqing: Mastery
Piano Skills: Proficient
Experience points: 107
"Not yet started?"
This is a level that Liang An has never seen before. The lowest level that could appear under his eyes before was entry-level.
"Is it because Chaoyang Yiqigong is an internal skill that it is like this? Or maybe even though Chaoyang Yiqigong has not been introduced yet, the key point of Chaoyang Yiqigong is to absorb the Chaoyang Purple Qi, which I have already done, so it is displayed as a non-initiated state?
"
Wufang Quan, Han Mo Danqing, and Qin Yi were all inherited from Liang An, and there was no level before entry. The only thing he practiced on his own was the Seventy-two Yunyu Sword. But the Seventy-two Yunyu Sword was only after practicing all the moves.
Chaoyang Yi Qigong was displayed on his eyelids in an introductory state, and now Chaoyang Yi Qigong was suddenly displayed on his eyelids in an uninitiated state, leaving him confused for a moment.
But when it came to experience points, he had no place to ask.
"Forget it, you will know this if you practice more martial arts in the future!"
If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it. Liang An is not a person who likes to get into trouble and insists on asking the question to the end. He immediately changes his mind.
"As long as the status is displayed, I can use experience points to improve it. So now I can use experience points to improve Chaoyang Yi Qigong?"
Thinking of this, Liang An couldn't help but be eager to give it a try. He wanted to immediately use experience points to upgrade Chaoyang Yi Qigong to the entry level.
But a gust of cold wind blew, and after his body started to recover but had not returned to its previous state, and his whole body shivered, Liang An decisively gave up this plan.
Improving skills with experience points requires a loss of energy and energy. He has not recovered the loss of improving the Seventy-two Swords of Yunyu. If he performs Chaoyang Qigong again, he may not be able to get out of bed for several days.
"Forget it, just wait a few days! Chaoyang Yi Qigong is just a health-preserving exercise. It doesn't improve my combat power much. It just allows me to familiarize myself with internal skills in advance. And my condition is much better now. At most, my energy and energy will be restored in ten days.
