After a quarter of an hour, Chu Xiong finally arrived at the city gate.
At the same time, Gui Ying had also brought a group of people to the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion.
Outside the city gate, there was only one person in front of him. It was Zhi Tanhua, who was riding on a horse.
Seeing the person who had come, Chu Xiong's originally expressionless face could not help but show a few ripples.
It was obvious that Chu Xiong knew Zhi Tanhua.
"Haha, so it's Brother Zhi Tanhua. Forgive me for being late because of some trivial matters.”
" City Lord Chu, you must be joking. You have many trivial matters to attend to, so it's reasonable for us to wait a little longer. However, Young Master Shuang's carriage is tired, and it's been a long time since the City Lord has come. Didn't he already instruct the servants to set up camp outside the city and cook for the City Lord?”
In Chu Xiong's eyes, the paper flower in front of him was far more important than the unknown Qin Shuang.
Seeing that Tanhua was waiting for him alone, Chu Xiong couldn't help but wonder,""Looks like Qin Shuang is angry, that's why she deliberately let the paper flower show me its power.”
In this regard, not only did Chu Xiong not feel nervous or afraid, but he was also very comfortable. He only thought,""Hmph, if Xiong Ba wasn't here, so what if I swept away your face? What can you do to me?"
"Hey, Brother Zhi Tanhua, how could you let Young Master Qin Shuang set up camp outside the city? Lead the way for this old man, this old man will personally welcome Young Master Qin Shuang into the city now…"
As he spoke, Chu Xiong galloped out of the city.
Fifteen minutes later, the two of them arrived at a camp.
After getting off the horse, Zhi Tanhua first came to Chu Xiong's side without leaving a trace. Then, he put his arm around Chu Xiong's shoulder and said,""City Lord Chu, there's something that you might not know..."
"What's the matter? Please enlighten me, Brother Zhi Tanhua."
"Eh? Forget it, who asked you and me to work for Gang Leader Xiong? It's like this. In the World Association, Young Master Shuang is usually very popular with the leader…"
As Zhi Tanhua spoke, before his voice could fade, he suddenly used his acupoint technique to restrain Chu Xiong with lightning speed.
"Paper Flower, what do you want to do?"
In an instant, a group of armed attendants rushed to Chu Xiong's side.
"Tie him up."
"Zhi Tanhua, are you trying to offend your superiors?”
"Hmph, you colluded with the Japanese to betray our leader. This isn't offending your superiors, it's 'cleaning up the sect'.”
When he heard Zhi Tanhua mention the Japanese, Chu Xiong was shocked. Even though he was unwilling, he still refused to admit it."Zhi Tanhua, how dare you slander me? Hmph, after I report this to the Sect Master, I will kill you myself.”
Chu Xiong spoke with killing intent.
In response, not only was Zhi Tanhua not angry, but she also smiled and said,""City Lord Chu, don't be impatient. Didn't you want to see the sect master? Young Master Shuang is giving you this chance. In a few days, when you arrive at the World Conference, I hope City Lord Chu still has the confidence and calmness you have now.”
All of a sudden, all of Chu Xiong's confidence vanished.
"This? Brother Zhi Tanhua, you…"
"Haha, is City Lord Chu afraid?”
"Brother Zhi Tanhua, Chu Xiong has no enmity with you. Why don't you let him go? If we do this, as long as Brother Zhi Tanhua lets Chu Xiong live, Chu Xiong is willing to give us 100,000 taels of gold.”
Chu Xiong wasn't stupid. If he met Xiong Ba and couldn't explain clearly, it wouldn't be as simple as death. It would be a fate worse than death.
This was the first reason.
Secondly, Zhi Tanhua and the others were mainly assassins. If there was no evidence, they would not show mercy.
Based on this understanding, all the resistance in Chu Xiong's heart turned into smoke in an instant.
One hundred thousand taels of gold was definitely a huge sum of money, but it was also a hot potato. If one was not careful, they would fall into a bottomless abyss.
Therefore, Zhi Tanhua only hesitated for a moment before giving up on this idea.
"Men, prepare the prison carriage so that City Lord Chu can have a place to stay. In addition, immediately send a letter to let Gui Ying and the others capture City Lord Chu's family in one fell swoop…"
As he spoke, a servant had already sent a signal with a specially made gunpowder bamboo tube.
While the signal was still in the air, Phantom and the others who were hiding near the City Lord's Mansion also took action.
As Phantom and the others strode into the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Shuang also brought a group of people to catch up.
"Who are you? Don't you know that this is the City Lord's Mansion?"
As soon as the guard finished speaking, Phantom took out his token and took the lead to kneel down and greet Qin Shuang."Greetings, Young Master Shuang. This is the eldest disciple of Leader Xiong Ba Xiong, Qin Shuang.”
With the token as proof, the guards on duty in front of the City Lord's Estate immediately knelt down and greeted him.
"Ghost Shadow, listen up…"
"Your subordinate is here."
"Liang City Lord Chu Xiong secretly colluded with the Japanese to betray the World Association. I order you to lead your men in and eliminate the traitors.”
With Qin Shuang's order, Gui Ying led his men and charged into the City Lord's Estate with killing intent.
After Phantom entered the City Lord's Mansion, Xue Antian personally escorted Chu Peng, whose face was bruised and swollen, to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Men, I'm the young city lord. I order you to kill all of them…"
"Bastards, what are you guys still standing there for? Didn't you hear my order?”
No matter how much Chu Peng shouted, the guards in front of him were still frozen on the spot.
It wasn't until this moment that Chu Peng realized that the situation had long gone out of his control.
"Small? You, you are…"
"Oh? Why are you asking me?"
"You, who are you?"
"Oh? Since you want to know who I am so much, I'll tell you. Listen up, my surname is Qin and my name is Shuang. You can call me Qin Shuang.”
"Qin Shuang? You're Xiong Ba's eldest disciple, Qin Shuang?”
After learning Qin Shuang's true identity, Chu Peng was stunned. His heart was filled with waves of emotions, and he couldn't help but stutter. Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly knelt on the ground and said in a sorrowful tone,""Young…Young Master Qin Shuang, I was blind and didn't know your true identity. Please forgive me?”
People are fickle, villains are fickle.
In order to continue living, Chu Peng, who had been so arrogant a few days ago, actually put down all his burdens just to beg Qin Shuang to spare his life.
Qin Shuang walked up to Chu Peng and saw him kowtowing and begging for mercy. Not only did Qin Shuang not have any sympathy, but she was also filled with disgust and contempt.
" Quick…" The saber at Xue Antian's waist was suddenly drawn.
"No, I can't! My father won't let you off…"
"Go to Sen Luo Hall and take a seat. Your father will be there soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the large saber in Qin Shuang's hand also slid down.
"Congratulations, master, for completing the random mission. The system has randomly rewarded you with a 'Fast Sword Swordsmanship.' The sword was the king of all weapons. It could be light and agile, strong and powerful, elegant, or imposing. Sword techniques included lifting, breaking, cutting, wiping, piercing, picking, lifting, twisting, sweeping, or chopping, stabbing, pointing, cutting…There were many sword techniques and countless moves, but the fast sword only had three moves: The first stance, Gale, the second stance, Rushing Thunder, and the third stance, Lightning. The third move,'Space Rift'."
When the Metal Spirit gave her the notification, a figure actually appeared in Qin Shuang's mind.
It was a man with a blurry appearance and figure. Only the longsword in his hand could be seen clearly.
The strange thing was that the sword in the man's hand was not a sword because it was only three feet long. First, it had no blade, second, it was not sharpened, and third, even the hilt was nailed to two pieces of cork.
"Fast Sword 'Hoodle'?"
As Qin Shuang was thinking, the figure in his mind moved as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, the long sword in his hand actually struck out in the form of lifting, breaking, cutting, wiping, piercing, picking, lifting, twisting, sweeping, hacking, stabbing, pointing, slicing, and other hand gestures at the same time. His movements were clearly single, but they eventually converged into one form.
The figure practiced three times in a row, and Qin Shuang's thought process repeated three times.
After three times, his figure mysteriously disappeared, and Qin Shuang seemed to have regained her clarity.
