76. Free and easy(1/2)
"It seems like I won." Chu Yunqing said.
Hua Wuqi glanced at him and said coolly: "This is not fair."
Chu Yunqing asked in confusion: "What did you say?"
"The destination is your home. You know the place but I don't." Hua Wuqi said, "So I can only follow you and cannot go beyond it."
When Chu Yunqing thought about it, this was true, and he laughed out loud.
Hua Wuqi glanced at him sideways and said nothing.
At this time, the door of the house opened and Ai Xiaozhou walked out.
Hua Wuqi looked over when he heard the sound, and was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that Chu Yunqing's family actually had female relatives. He couldn't help but look at Chu Yunqing, as if seeking knowledge.
Ai Xiaozhou was stunned when he saw that Chu Yunqing had brought someone back. At first, he thought it was Ye Chengfeng, but after seeing it clearly, he realized it was not.
Judging from their positions and expressions, they should be familiar friends. She couldn't help but wonder about this person's identity.
"Come into the room and talk." Chu Yunqing greeted.
Hua Wuqi followed behind him.
After entering the house, he was startled again, because there was actually a bunk on the ground, and a Taoist man slept on it, snoring and chirping from time to time.
There is no doubt that flowers will last forever.
Chu Yunqing put the food and wine on the table, and then introduced: "This is Ai Xiaozhou, Jin Yiwei. This is actually her home. I am staying here temporarily."
Hua Wuqi nodded to Ai Xiaozhou as a greeting. But deep down in his heart, he was inevitably curious about the relationship between the two people in front of him. After all, judging from their subtle behaviors, the two people should be relatively close.
Besides, can it be a simple thing for a grown man to live in a woman's home? If they were just ordinary friends, that would definitely be untrustworthy.
Chu Yunqing knew that he was a man of few words, but Ai Xiaozhou didn't know that. He thought that this man always had a cold face and was arrogant because of his status, so his expression was also indifferent.
"He is Hua Wuqi, the true successor of the Shenwu Sect." Chu Yunqing said.
Hearing what he said, Ai Xiaozhou remembered that when Lei Jie Gu and his party were there, a disciple of the Shenwu Sect named Hua Xiaoyun seemed to have died, and the other party had a true brother.
She felt that it was probably this person.
However, Ai Xiaozhou looked at Chu Yunqing, a little confused as to how the two people knew each other.
"We met once after the Thunder Tribulation Valley." Chu Yunqing explained as if he guessed what she was thinking.
Ai Xiaozhou chuckled, "So we felt like old friends at first sight?"
Chu Yunqing thought for a while and did not refute.
Hua Wuqi's expression didn't change, and he didn't feel disgusted.
Ai Xiaozhou vaguely understood.
"I bought some wine and food when I came back, let's have some," Chu Yunqing greeted.
As soon as the wine jar was opened, the aroma of wine wafted out.
Hua Wuqi sat at the table, but the sword in his hand was resting on his shoulder and he did not put it down.
Chu Yunqing saw that this must have been his habit all along.
Ai Xiaozhou also sat down beside her. She didn't ask about Ye Chengfeng because Chu Yunqing came back safely, so there was no need to ask again.
At this time, Zhou Wangchao, who was snoring, suddenly snorted a few times, then clucked his lips and woke up.
He rubbed his eyes and saw the person sitting next to him.
He was stunned for a moment, and then the guy jumped up.
"Brother Chu, are you back?" Zhou Wangchao looked expectant but worried, "Is the matter done?"
Ai Xiaozhou gave him a look and said, "This is the first thing you ask when you wake up?"
Zhou Wangchao scratched his head in embarrassment, "Hey, Brother Chu is very capable, so he must be fine. There is nothing to worry about."
Ai Xiaozhou felt that this old boy was a little heartless.
"Ye Chengfeng is dead." Chu Yunqing said, and then told what happened after he went to Qintian Prison, which naturally included the disguise of Ye Chengfeng's incarnation as Fang Xing.
At that time, Hua Wuqi was by his side, which confirmed Fang Xing's identity as Ye Chengfeng.
"It's a method of washing one's face and describing one's appearance in southern Xinjiang witchcraft." Zhou Wangchao said, "It's similar to the art of disguise in Jianghu, but it's more subtle."
As he spoke, his expression became a little complicated. After all, Ye Chengfeng was once his apprentice and his only apprentice. Unfortunately, things changed in the future, and Ye Chengfeng actually killed his master and continued to pursue him.
With this situation and this result, Zhou Wangchao was indeed relaxed, but he couldn't say he was happy.
"He's dead." Zhou Wangchao pulled out his chair and sat down. He stood there blankly, as if he was in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking.
Maybe it's memories from the past, or maybe it's something else.
"Old Taoist, how about a drink together?" Chu Yunqing said.
The dishes to go with the wine are not too hard, including cold pork head, cucumbers with garlic, hot vegetables, peanuts, and a pig intestine.
But the fragrance has already come out. Chu Yunqing said this deliberately because he didn't want Zhou Wangchao to worry too much. When people get older, they like to think about it. Ye Chengfeng is already dead, so there is no use thinking about it anymore.
After all, with Ye Chengfeng's character, one of him and Lao Tao must die.
For Chu Yunqing, Zhou Wangchao asked him for help, but Ye Chengfeng secretly attacked him when they first met. Even without saying anything, it was obvious that this person was not a kind person, so he had a clear conscience by killing him.
.
After Hua Wuqi heard Zhou Wangchao's words, he looked at him a few more times, obviously guessing his identity.
Chu Yunqing filled the wine for several people, and then said: "Can you tell me about the mission given to you by the sect? If I kill Ye Chengfeng, will it have a big impact on you?"
Originally, it was related to the sect or involved secrets, and it was not a very good relationship. It was definitely not easy to ask about such things to avoid embarrassment.
But Chu Yunqing didn't think it was anything, and wanted to see if he could help Hua Wuqi. After all, when he killed Ye Chengfeng, the other party didn't interfere with the sect.
Hua Wuqi looked at the wine in the glass and said: "If the leader wants to send his son to the Qingjing Sect, it would be best if he worships under a certain elder."
When Chu Yunqing heard this, he understood that this was because of the relationship.
However, he wondered: "Since he is the son of your master, why don't you learn your own martial arts?"
Hua Wuqi was silent for a moment. Just when Chu Yunqing thought that this involved secrets and it was difficult for him to consider, he only heard the other party speak.
"Because he is a waste." Hua Wuqi said expressionlessly.
Chu Yunqing opened his mouth, a little surprised, but still didn't ask any further questions.
"Ye Chengfeng is the head of the outer sect and can indeed help." He said.
Hua Wuqi shook his head, "That's not the reason."
Chu Yunqing was puzzled.
At this time, Zhou Wangchao sat down and said while holding meat: "Because Ye Chengfeng is greedy, he has been afraid of poverty since he was a child, and he is very greedy for money."
Chu Yunqing thought for a while. During the past few contacts with Ye Chengfeng, except for the other person's incarnation, Fang Xing, they all wore gorgeous clothes and looked dignified. But if he was greedy, shouldn't he be more luxurious?
?
"It's true that he is greedy for money, but he is also a miser and can't bear to spend it." Zhou Wangchao mocked: "Except for the expenses of visiting favors during festivals and festivals, I'm afraid he has hidden all his money. It's a pity that you don't know, otherwise I will kill him tonight
Ye Chengfeng, you can become a newly promoted gentry in the capital city."
Chu Yunqing was greatly surprised. It turns out that people all have their own quirks, one way or the other. It's really strange.
"So it's because it's not easy to get involved with other people, and only Ye Chengfeng can use money to open the way?" he asked.
Zhou Wangchao swallowed a mouthful of meat, drank a sip of wine, and then explained: "Ye Chengfeng is indeed a miser, but he is extremely generous in the world of people in the Qingjing Sect, so there are many people who support him.
And he was on good terms with Luo Shihan. Through this person, his connections spread all over the world. Even the elders in the sect all praised him highly.
As far as I know, Qingjing Sect has not accepted disciples for several years. There are many forces from all sides who want to send their descendants into the sect, but very few can actually get in. It's not that they don't have enough dignity, but they use the wrong method.
.
Luo Shihan was the second senior brother of the Qingjing Sect, and he was also the disciple of Master Cen, the head master. When Master Cen was refining elixirs in the palace, he would often cooperate with the elders of the sect in handling affairs, and his status and power were not small.
Moreover, although Mr. Cen only gave his young apprentice Qing Shui a Taoist title in order to train him as the next leader, Qing Shui is still young and playful, and is far less stable than Luo Shihan.
In addition, this person is good at business and has considerable prestige. Most people in the Qingjing Sect have already regarded him as the next leader. And Ye Chengfeng has a good relationship with him, so he naturally becomes a member of his line.
.So, it is not difficult for Ye Chengfeng to stuff someone into Qingjing Sect."
At the end, after Zhou Wangchao drank to moisten his throat, he smacked his lips and said, "Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even among sects. As long as there are ambitions and selfishness, the Shura field will be everywhere. It is a place that claims to be outside the world.
The Pure Door is no longer as free from dust as it used to be."
He got up, rolled up his bed from the ground and walked out.
"Where are you going? You're not drinking anymore?" Chu Yunqing asked.
"You young people, drink it. When you are old, go to bed in the woodshed." Zhou Wangchao waved his hands, not caring, "By the way, don't call me tomorrow morning. You have to have a good sleep."
Chu Yunqing was helpless. He couldn't live in a good wing, so he had to live in a woodshed. It seemed as if he was deliberately buried.
However, thanks to Zhou Wangchao's explanation, he understood the involvement behind Ye Chengfeng, and this was only within the Qingjing Sect.
Luo Shihan, tonight, Chu Yunqing learned another person's name.
