Chapter 1627: Jiang Family
Chapter 1627: Chapter 1627: Jiang Family
The two watched as things really got serious. However, they still slowly approached the carriage, which everyone was watching them.
The defenses were really weak now. This was their chance.
That woman also moved closer, getting nearer and nearer to the carriage.
Jiang Liangcheng and the other three were just watching the commotion when, suddenly, the two men’s swords directly thrust towards the carriage. The woman tangled with Jiang Liangcheng.
Dong Wenzhao and Cao Hongqiu wanted to stop the two men.
Qi Hao knew he had to go over. Following people all the way, he couldn’t just watch when they were in danger.
His movement technique was originally a cultivation technique of mortals. He reached the front of the carriage in an instant, and Cao Hongqiu was already injured. Qi Hao stabbed one of the men with his sword.
The leader had no problem dealing with the other man.
Jiang Liangcheng and the woman were still tangled in a fight.
The woman saw her two companions had been captured and quickly escaped from Jiang Liangcheng.
Jiang Liangcheng went to chase, and no one said anything.
Qi Hao saw that this side was already under control, turned around, and wanted to leave.
"Please wait, Hero," the voice of Lord Imperial Envoy was heard inside.
"What does the Lord require?"
"Hero, your martial arts are profound, please stay here."
Qi Hao made a sound of acknowledgment and stood aside without moving, thinking there shouldn’t be any more assassination attempts on her. Since he was asked to stay, he would stay.
Dong Wenzhao and Cao Hongqiu went to one side to bandage their wounds, voluntarily stepping aside to clear the way.
Qi Hao stood beside the carriage, not speaking or moving.
The interrogation was quick. The methods used were extremely brutal, but it did yield results.
At this moment, Jiang Liangcheng also returned, feeling very frustrated for not capturing that woman.
The two men were already abolished; the Lord ordered them to be killed directly.
Qi Hao clicked his tongue; that woman truly was a ruthless character, for her, killing was just a flick of the lips.
She did not say anything about Jiang Liangcheng, and the team would camp here tonight. Qi Hao returned to his carriage, not being called this time.
He thought it was either by a fellow traveler or someone who knew about his major mistake hiring an assassin, but in the end, it was Zhang Yunsheng’s wife.
It was truly inconceivable; now the two women must be wishing death upon each other, right?
Really lacking interest, it was all about emotional matters.
Qi Hao led his horse to feed, and others were also feeding their horses.
"Brother Tan, your movement technique is so fast, it truly commands admiration."
Qi Hao nodded his head; what more could he say?
In the eyes of outsiders, he was seen as a very aloof person, with an especially mysterious look.
He didn’t speak, and the other three were whispering while letting their horses eat.
"This time, we also got to experience the Martial Arts competition; do you think our Lord came over due to orders from above under the guise of the imperial envoy title?"
"Stop talking nonsense; that’s not something you can discuss; aren’t you afraid of losing your life?"
"I was just talking with you all here; I won’t tell outsiders."
"Actually, I think it makes sense; we haven’t been to any other place on this journey. We only went to see that Zhang Yunsheng and then came straight here; wasn’t that the goal of coming here?
Last time I waited at the palace gate for our Lord all night, and the next day, didn’t we just set out for here?
I think our Lord must have received orders."
Qi Hao listened from one side and thought they might be right.
In such matters, the officials probably wanted to control the subordinates because the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch held a significant position.
Moreover, if a group of rogues truly wanted to do something, they wouldn’t be easily controlled. If they could control the leader, it would be much simpler.
Qi Hao led his horse for a drink of water. When he returned, the meal was already prepared.
He truly admired that woman; not different at all, she too was just eating calmly.
At night, he made a fire to sit alone and meditate.
Jiang Liangcheng came over, sat across from Qi Hao, "Brother Tan, I slipped up this time."
Qi Hao didn’t know how to console him; it was indeed his own issue.
"Brother Tan, the Martial Arts competition is held at my house; my father is the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch."
Qi Hao nodded.
Jiang Liangcheng knew this about Qi Hao, so he continued talking on his own "Brother Tan, will you participate in this Alliance Hierarch contest?"
"I don’t know; I’ll see when the time comes." He should be afraid of Qi Hao participating and winning.
"Brother Tan, I know your martial arts are outstanding; if you want to win, you can definitely succeed."
Now Qi Hao understood, and he said nothing.
"Brother Tan, I invite you to my home as a guest; my parents are very hospitable."
"Thank you." Qi Hao didn’t refuse; Jiang Liangcheng felt much relieved.
This time, he didn’t return to the carriages, feeling a loss of face due to his mistake, he lay close to the fire pit.
Qi Hao maintained his posture. The Ghost Messenger still appeared, and felt like they were late today; although souls don’t leave the body too far after death, their work was really irresponsible, wasn’t it?
Moreover, the way they looked at him felt odd.
Qi Hao instantly intercepted them. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The two Ghost Messengers shook their heads "Nothing unusual."
Could it be telling him that his younger brother is dumber than him?
Qi Hao frowned. "That’s not good."
"We didn’t look at you in any particular way." After speaking, the two left, Qi Hao frowned, wondering if he had something inappropriate about him?
Could it be something about Qi Xuan? Definitely impossible. Next time he sees them, he’ll ask about Qi Xuan.
The next day, they set out once again; Jiang Liangcheng led the way from the front, inviting the Lord to his home as a guest.
The road these days was quite calm, which naturally made sense; no one wanted to clash with the government. Who gives up good days willingly and seeks trouble instead?
Finally, they arrived at the Jiang Family; from afar, it truly looked magnificent.
This Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch seems quite wealthy, doesn’t he? I wonder where his money comes from?
Jiang Liangcheng was very excited to see his home, having been away for almost three years; finally, he was back.
The gatekeeper saw the eldest young master and immediately someone reported to the master.
Jiang Liangcheng told another gatekeeper, "Go tell my father the Lord Imperial Envoy has arrived."
In no time, Jiang Yushan brought people to welcome them.
Unexpectedly, the Lord Imperial Envoy stepped off his carriage at the entrance.
Qi Hao watched them exchange pleasantries, standing behind them.
The servants had come over to take the horse, and they were quite well-mannered.
The Jiang Family doesn’t have too many people; there are two boys, two girls, who seem to know martial arts.
Very soon, Qi Hao followed the crowd into the Jiang Family, and the inside indeed was very grand.
The important figures exchanged pleasantries in the front, and they were arranged for lodging. He and four others were staying in one courtyard, with each having their own room.
Soon, the servants brought hot water, which was a very considerate arrangement indeed.
However, Qi Hao didn’t have the habit of bathing outside.
