Chapter 13: Betrayal

There was nothing going on all the way. Three days later, it entered the territory of Qingping City. Qingping is a larger city in Hualing County. The Shangqing River flows into the so-called water river from here, changing to an east-west direction, and goes straight to the cliffless sea to the east. It is a larger river in Dazhou.

Although Qingping City is far less prosperous than Jinling, it is also one of the largest cities in Hualing County. The people at the gate are very lively.

"Brother Shen, is Qingping City in front of you?"

Along the way, Li Yinping's vigilance has gone. After all, he is young and has never been far away. The other party is his own savior. Gradually, he became dependent on Shen and his eyes became more intimate.

"Hmm." Shen Chong nodded, and then stopped the boat on the shore. The river bank is not far from the gate of the city. There are also some small shops and markets on the roadside. People come and go, but it is also lively.

The three of them got off the boat. When Xu Sanniang fled, she brought a lot of gold cakes. She found a place to eat something, found a clothing store, changed her clothes, washed away her embarrassment, and then entered Qingping City.

Xu Sanniang only remembers that the surname of her bestie's family is Wei, but her bestie is also a big family. I think the person she is married will not be a small family. I inquired around and found that the big family surnamed Wei in Qingping City is only the Wei Yueshan family in the east of the city.

Several people asked as they walked. In a short time, they came outside the door of a courtyard. The courtyard door was quite magnificent, with a vermilion iron ring, and two stone lions guarded left and right. The door was written "Wei Zhai", and there were four guard warriors at the door.

Xu Sanniang reported her name, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper welcomed the three into the living room. After a while, a woman in her 20s hurried out of the back hall, with tears in her eyes and hugged Xu Sanniang.

"Sanniang, it's really you. I got the news of the Li family tragedy and thought I would never see you again." After that, I cried loudly.

This woman is Xu Sanniang's close friend - Xiang Congrong. The Xiang family is also a large family. It is not far from Baihua Valley. Li Xiang's two families are good friends, and the disciples often move around. This calmness grew up with Xu Sanniang and has a good relationship, but there is no contact after marrying Qingping.

Just as the two were crying and talking about the feelings of parting, another person came out of the back hall. He was in his thirties, with a national character face, with a strong breath and great majesty. Obviously, he was also a martial arts master. It was Wei Yueshan, the head of the Wei family and Xiang's calm husband. Wei Yueshan's father died early and has been in charge of the Wei family for more than ten years. He is calm and cautious in his words and deeds. Wei Yueshan listened to the context of the matter. He didn't say a word and frowned.

After a moment, Xiang calmly bent down to Shen Chong, blessed him, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for sending San Niang and Ping'er here."

"Mrs. Wei is very kind." Shen Chong returned the salute.

"Sanniang and I are like sisters. I also asked Mr. Shen to stay longer and let my concubine treat Mr. Shen well."

"Yes, Master Li was a life-saving kindness to me. Brother Shen saved Master Li's daughter, and he was also kind to my Wei family. He also asked Brother Shen to stay for two more days." Wei Yueshan also persuaded him.

Shen Chong wanted to refuse, but he really had nowhere to go. It was not bad to settle down in Qingping City. He was polite and lived there.

After the nightfall, Shen Chong couldn't sleep. He always felt that something was wrong. In a flash of light, Shen Chong suddenly sat up. There was something wrong with Wei Yueshan's attitude. Wei Yueshan said that Li Yinping's father had a life-saving kindness to him, but he did not care about Li Yinping. He didn't say a word. When he wanted to leave, he advised himself to stay. What's the reason for coming down?

Shen Chong thought here, turned over and got out of bed, walked through the door to calm down, and felt the wind blowing outside the door. Sure enough, there were two slight breathing sounds more than ten feet outside the door. Wei Yueshan actually sent someone to monitor him.

Shen Chong quietly opened the door and walked into the yard. The yard of Wei's house was very large, divided into the front yard, the inner courtyard and the backyard. The guest rooms prepared for him by Wei Yueshan were in the backyard, while Xu Sanniang and Li Yinping were arranged in the inner courtyard and the main room.

At this time, it was late at night, and the servants had already fallen asleep. Only a few guardians were patrolling back and forth, and the two people who secretly monitored themselves hid behind a rockery.

Shen Chong pretended to go to the toilet. When he passed by the rockery, his body shook his body and unfolded freely, like a light smoke. He rushed behind the two people and slapped his palms, which hit the back of their necks.

Those two are just the two guardians of the Wei family, with only vitality-level cultivation. How can they get Shen Chong's palm? He hummed and fainted to the ground. Shen Chong fell down and did not kill them. His footsteps slipped, dodged a wave of patrol guards and turned into the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard was not big, only Wei Yueshan and his wife and several inner housewit's.

Shen Chong didn't know which room Xu Sanniang lived in, and it was not easy to find them one by one. When he saw a window with light, he slipped over. The way to travel freely was flexible between tossing and turning. Unexpectedly, there was another wonderful thing about stealing chickens and dogs, and there was no sound in the footsteps.

"Yueshan, Sanniang is my sister. How can I not save her, and even hurt her." It's Xiang's calm voice.

"Rong Er, it's up to me to hurt her, but there are rumors that she took away Li Jia Zhibao. I don't know how many people want her life. You'd better persuade her to release things." Wei Yueshan said.

It seems that this house is the bedroom of Wei Yueshan and his wife, and Wei Yueshan really has a plan.

"Then we will send them to a safe place as soon as possible, not to mention that Master Li has a life-saving kindness to you. You can't be ungrateful."

"The grace of saving your life? Rong Er, it is because of Master Li's kindness to save me that I asked you to persuade her to hand over the treasure, so that she can keep the only bloodline of the Li family. Wei Yueshan advised.

"I have had a friendship between the Xiang family and the Li family for decades, and I have never heard of any treasure," Xiang calmly wondered: "It's not just a rumor."

"How can it be a rumor? How can the order handed down by the adult on Zhenmo Mountain be wrong?" Wei Yueshan said with a wry smile.

"Zhenmo Mountain? That's not..." Xiang calmly exclaimed, thought about it, and looked at her husband suspiciously: "How can you know so much, isn't it...?"

"Rong Er, don't think too much. With my ability, you can't get over there, but that's a treasure that adults want." There was a trace of heat in Wei Yueshan's eyes.

For a moment, Xiang calmly shook his whole body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Listening to his husband's words, he actually participated in the destruction of the Li family.

Outside the window, Shen Chong heard the word Zhenmo Mountain and felt a little familiar. After reading it several times, his expression suddenly changed greatly.

Zhenmo Mountain is located in the west of Dazhou, near the Wumeng grassland. It was originally an inconspicuous hill. It is rumored that it was the place where the ancient Xuanwu Emperor suppressed demons, so it got its name. But what is more famous is a person's name - Lv Jiannan. More than 200 years ago, Lv Jiannan was born, shaking the four-in-eight wilderness with a long sword and becoming No one, the first master in China, could go through ten moves under him, but it was like a flash in the pan. However, it disappeared in a few years. Then a sect appeared on Zhenmo Mountain. In the name of the sword school, Lv Jiannan was the master of the Kai faction. The moves used were also somewhat similar to him. He was domineering and fierce, called the Sword Sect. However, in a hundred years, it has become one of the seven major sects in China.

"The enemy of the Li family is actually the Sword Sect!" Shen Chong's heart was excited, and his forehead touched the wall slightly.

"Who is it?" Wei Yueshan shouted loudly and waved his palm to smash the window. He had already rushed to the courtyard.

Shen Chong had already reacted after touching the wall, but there was no place to hide in the yard. His legs were like a big bird, flying to the roof. Before his feet fell to the ground, a strong palm wind came from behind, and he hurriedly returned his hand.

With a bang, Shen Chong flew out two feet away, and the other party did not move at all.

"It's you, boy," Wei Yueshan stood up and said, "You are on the alert, and you are not bad at a young age."

Shen Chong's palm has just tried out that Wei Yueshan's skill has reached the true level, which is far deeper than himself. I'm afraid there will be a hard battle.

Everyone in the courtyard was also shocked and came out one after another. Shen Chong looked around, but he didn't see Xu Sanniang and Li Yinping. He frowned and said coldly, "Is this how Brother Wei repays his kindness?"

"Brother Shen may have misunderstood. Why don't you go down and talk about it? It's not a place to talk on the roof." There are many people, and Wei Yueshan still has some scruples.

"No, Shen has something important to do, so he will leave first." Unexpectedly, the matter involved the Potian Sword Sect, which was not what he could change. Shen Chong had already retreated.

"Brother Shen, why should we be so anxious? We have to thank the Shen brothers on behalf of Mrs. Chu and Miss Silver Bottle." Wei Yueshan smiled and knew that what had just been heard by the other party. He openly took out Xu Sanniang and Li Yinping as a threat.

"Brother Wei is polite. I just met them by chance. Out of morality, I just give them a hand, and I dare not take credit." Shen Chong doesn't want to be a fool. A Wei Yueshan may not be able to fight. What's more, there are so many guardian warriors below. He has also been benevolent to Xu Sanniang. His body has fluttered and retreated.

Wei Yueshan's face changed. He thought that the young man would be angry for a while and would fight hard. Unexpectedly, the other party retreated calmly. In a hurry, he tore off the mask of hypocrisy, waved his palms and shouted:

"Stay."

The back palm patted the front palm, and the two true qi were superimposed together, more than double the strength, and rushed to Shen vastly. Shen Chong knew that it was not his opponent. He just wanted to get out as soon as possible. He gathered his true anger on his sleeves and greeted him with his sleeves instead of palms.

With another bang, the two sleeves were smashed, but Shen Chong's body flew out along the palm wind. It was the way of dancing with the wind. Except for his arms being scratched by the other party's true qi, he did not suffer internal injuries. He waved his arms and swept away to the outer courtyard.

Except for Wei Yueshan, there are no real qi masters in Wei's house, but it is also troublesome for several vitality-level martial artists to join hands. However, the martial artists in the outer courtyard only heard a little noise in the inner courtyard and did not know what was going on. It was not difficult to leave Wei's house before they could react.

Wei Yueshan's skills are strong, but his physical skills are not as good as him. Seeing that Shen Chong has swept up to the outer courtyard wall, he may be shocked the people in the city if he chases him again.

Suddenly, a white practice flew through the air, entangling Shen Chong's left foot. A strong force pulled it, and his body flew back backwards. Shen Chong was shocked, hurriedly took out the broken jade sword and scratched it under his feet.
