Kuangzong Jianying's reaction was within Leng Yuqiu's expectation, but his strength... was far beyond the opponent's expectations.

Leng Yuqiu had no intention of drawing his sword against the two people in front of him because he thought it was unnecessary.

However, the moment the sword master put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and the moment his fighting spirit and sword intent burst out from his eyes, Leng Yuqiu's expression... changed.

An instinct made Leng Yuqiu take a step back. When he realized it, his hand had already grasped the sword.

"How is that possible?" At that moment, confusion and shock flashed through Leng Yuqiu's mind.

But before he could think about it carefully, Kuang Zuo Jian Ying had already taken action.

The sword edges collided rapidly in the air.

Anyone who can see this confrontation clearly will be amazed by the strength and speed of both sides.

However, the sound of this strike... was neither loud nor heavy.

The sound was like two glasses touching each other, light and gentle.

After the sword strike, both Master Jian and Leng Yuqiu's expressions changed suddenly, and they each retreated a few points.

"So that's it..." Leng Yuqiu immediately thought to himself, "The fact that he can't detect his internal strength is not because his internal strength is weak... but because his technique is unique and cannot be detected."

"Are you mistaken... is this guy actually so strong? Or is this the average level of NPCs in this script world?" Master Jian was also surprised in his heart.

"I haven't asked yet..." Leng Yuqiu rarely takes the initiative to ask for other people's names, but this time is obviously an exception.

"Huangfu Mingkang." Master Jian reported his real name word for word. His real name did not sound out of place in this martial arts world.

"Okay." Leng Yuqiu did not say his name, nor did he ask the other party if he knew him. He just said "Okay", then sheathed his sword and took out a piece of silver from his arms.

Ticket, "I'll pay."

As he spoke, he reached out and handed over the banknote.

However, Master Jian did not pick it up.

"No need." Kuang Zong Jianying said coldly, "We have the money."

The implication is that this is what we are talking about. As long as you are willing to compensate, it is fine. As for the money... it doesn't matter whether you pay it or not.

"But I think it's better to compensate you." Leng Yuqiu didn't take back his hand, "Just do me a favor."

What he meant was that for me, the matter is not over until I give the money, otherwise I will feel that I owe someone else something.

"Okay then." Master Jian quickly understood what the other party meant, and at the same time he also realized belatedly... When he decided to draw his sword, he had already missed the opportunity to cooperate with this NPC. Now he

You can only accept the money, end this incident, and accept that the other party will continue to maintain a "neutral" relationship with you.

So, the two players Jianghu accepted the money, left the second floor, and immediately went to the shopkeeper to change rooms.

In the process of negotiating with the innkeeper, they just found out who Leng Yuqiu was and what role he played in this incident.

But now it is too late for them to lament their poor ability to deal with NPCs.

…………

On the other hand, in Wang Qiong's mansion.

The aroma of grain, cotton wool, straw and firewood, and a hint of burnt smell mixed together and spread in the house.

Wang Qiong sat comfortably on the kang, eating cakes and drinking hot tea.

People who saw him at first sight would probably think of him as an ordinary farm boy, and would never have thought that he would be a living god of wealth who was extremely wealthy.

"Master." Cheng Wei's voice came from outside the door.

He stood at the door with his back straight. Even though no one was around, he kept a solemn and respectful expression when he said the word "village owner".

"Come in." Wang Qiong responded casually, even though he had not finished eating anything in his mouth when he spoke.

"Yes." Cheng Weinuo said, then opened the door curtain and entered the house.

"What did Po Wen say?" Wang Qiong knew what the other party came to report, so he asked directly.

"Back to the village owner, I am a virgin." Cheng Wei also gave the answer straightforwardly.

"Well..." Wang Qiong nodded, remained silent for a few seconds, and then asked, "Cheng Wei, what do you think?"

Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment: "You mean..." He really didn't know what aspect this question was specifically about.

"You know how much money, time and connections I have spent on this woman." Wang Qiong continued, "Are you not curious at all about what I am doing?"

Cheng Wei lowered his head and responded: "Master, as servants, we shouldn't ask questions, so we won't..."

"Hey~" Wang Qiong waved his hand to interrupt him, "You're not asking me now, I'm asking you." He paused for half a second, "What do you think...just tell me."

This question is not easy to answer.

Although Cheng Wei has always been by Wang Qiong's side, he really knows very little about this woman.

"In my humble opinion..." After thinking for a moment, Cheng Wei replied, "The owner of the village plans to marry this girl?"

Although this speculation may sound superficial at first glance, it is actually very reliable.

Indeed, Wang Qiong has no shortage of women, but "lover" and "wife" are two different things.

Wang Qiong is over forty years old and has never officially married. He has never put so much effort into a woman. In addition, he also specially arranged for Wen Po to verify his identity...

Based on all these signs, Cheng Weicai came to this conclusion.

"Haha..." Wang Qiong smiled, "It makes sense..." He paused, "But it's not right."

"Then..." Cheng Wei put forward another hypothesis, "Is it to give to others?"

Wang Qiong smiled and shook his head: "You guessed half of it right."

"My subordinate is stupid, please let me know clearly from the owner." Cheng Wei stopped guessing. A shrewd subordinate knows when to stop asking, even if the master asked him to ask in the first place.

"I want her to help me kill people." Wang Qiong continued.

Cheng Wei's eyes moved slightly and he thought: "She has very high martial arts skills?"

"Not high." Wang Qiong said, "To use the terminology in the world of martial arts...just third-rate."

Cheng Wei said: "But the money you spent on her can at least hire ten first-class masters to work for you."

Wang Qiong said: "Huh... But the person I want her to kill, even if we invite twenty first-class masters, will never come back."

Cheng Wei fell silent.

Logically speaking, he should ask "Who?" at this moment.

But he didn't ask, he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't want to know.

But Wang Qiong wanted him to know: "Why don't you ask who that is?"

Cheng Wei said: "Subordinates... don't dare."

Wang Qiong said: "Ah...that means you have already guessed a thing or two."

Cheng Wei couldn't deny it: "Yes."

Wang Qiong said: "But I want you to know ten percent, not one or two."

Cheng Wei said: "Thank you, Master, for trusting me." He had no choice but to accept it.

Wang Qiong said: "The one I want to kill is today's emperor."

Even though he was vaguely aware that he would hear such an answer, when he heard it, Cheng Wei's mind was still buzzing, and the huge pressure instantly made his stomach churn: "Dare you ask the owner of the village... why?"

Wang Qiong said: "Because he wants to kill me."

Cheng Wei nodded, he did not ask "how did you know", he knew very well that Wang Qiong would have a way to find out...

Therefore, if Wang Qiong said that the emperor wanted to kill him, then the emperor would kill him.

"Why hasn't he taken action yet?" Cheng Wei asked.

This is indeed a question... If the emperor wants to kill people, is it possible that he still has to wait?

Wang Qiong snorted coldly: "Humph... He has already taken action." He clenched his fist with his right hand and said angrily, "And... he was one step faster than me."

When Cheng Wei heard this, his expression changed: "You mean...his assassins have already been dispatched?"

Wang Qiong said: "Not only have they been dispatched, they have already come to me."

"Master!" Cheng Wei's face turned pale when he heard this, and he knelt on the ground. "Could it be that you doubt me..."

"Hey~ I'm not talking about you..." Wang Qiong showed a hint of impatience, turned away and said, "Don't be so surprised, get up and talk."

Cheng Wei wiped the cold sweat from his face and stood up again. After calming down a little, he thought for a moment and continued: "Then you mean... that 'Zhang San'?"

"He and the assassin are indeed a team, but his mission has been completed." Wang Qiong said, stuffing another cake into his mouth.

Cheng Wei was a little confused: "The owner of the village...who is the assassin?"

Wang Qiong shrugged: "That's the woman."

Before he said this, Cheng Wei didn't understand, and after he said it, Cheng Wei was even more confused.

"You don't understand, do you?" Wang Qiong said, "I'll tell you and you'll understand."

Cheng Wei cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Master, please speak."

Wang Qiong drank the remaining cakes in his mouth with tea, cleared his throat, collected his thoughts, and said: "First, let me ask you... do you know 'Through the Mirror'?"
