Chapter 181 Enemy
Qingquan Town, at the entrance of the town, there was a huge rock with the name of the town engraved on it. Nangong Jianyu and his group stood at the entrance. He found that the people in the town looked at them with alertness.
"The people in this town are descendants of bandits?"
Nangong Jianyu turned his head and asked Qiu Yunlei beside him. The town was not big, and it was estimated that there were only more than a hundred people living in the town. Nangong Jianyu could feel that these people were ordinary people and no one knew martial arts.
“It’s true.”
Qiu Yunlei said it was very certain. He looked at the town with more emotions. Nangong Jianyu noticed the emotions in Qiu Yunlei's eyes and became very curious about Qiu Yunlei.
"Then come into town."
After entering the town, some women and children entered their houses and closed the door. Only some young people stared at Nangong Jianyu and their group, and the alert in their eyes became more obvious.
"Brother Yunlei..."
A famous woman suddenly appeared in front of her. She ran boldly towards Nangong Jianyu, and stopped until Qiu Yunlei. Her big eyes were filled with emotion, and she looked at Qiu Yunlei gently.
"Brother Yunlei, you are back."
Before Qiu Yunlei could speak, the woman immediately took Qiu Yunlei's hand, regardless of the person next to her, buried her head in Qiu Yunlei's arms, looking shy and very happy.
"Sister Rui, there is someone next to you."
The woman made Qiu Yunlei feel embarrassed. He patted the woman on the head and said to the woman gently.
"A few of you are Brother Yunlei's friends, so go home with me."
When they arrived at the woman's home, Nangong Jianyu and others learned that the woman and Qiu Yunlei were both orphans. They grew up together since childhood. Qiu Yunlei took her woman around to wander around begging. Later, the people from Qingquan Town took them in.
After Qingquan Town stabilized, the two of them had a home. The one who took them in was a blind old lady. They also regarded the old lady as their closest relatives. When the old lady had delicious food, they always left it to them first. This kind of life made the two feel unprecedented warmth. They cherished such days very much.
The good days did not last. The two of them did not know that the people in the town were descendants of bandits. Every year, bandits would send a lot of supplies to the people in the town. They did not give them for nothing. The boys in the town had to become bandits with them when they became adults.
When Qiu Yunlei became an adult, the bandits asked him to be a bandit. He became the first person in the town to reject the bandits. At that time, he didn't know how to do martial arts. The bandits came to capture him. In order to protect him, the old lady was stabbed to death by the bandits with a sword. Before her death, she asked Qiu Yunlei and Ruimei to escape together.
In this way, the two escaped from Qingquan Town, but the bandits did not intend to let Qiu Yunlei go. They sent people to chase Qiu Yunlei all the way. Just when he was on the verge of life and death, he was saved by a disciple of Qiqu Villa. From then on, he became one of his disciples.
After practicing martial arts for a few years at Qiqu Villa, Qiu Yunlei showed great talent in martial arts practice. He was soon taken over by the elder of Qiqu Villa and became his closed disciple, and taught him his wholeheartedly.
Having a lot of skills, Qiu Yunlei was determined to avenge the old lady, so he took Ruimei back to Qingquan Town. The people in the town began to welcome them back. Later, they heard that Qiu Yunlei was going to kill the bandits to avenge the old lady. The people in the town began to alienate them. They wanted to get rid of the bandits' claws, but they didn't have the ability to get rid of them.
Qiu Yunlei knew that the people in the town were afraid that even the bandits would not be able to fight against the bandits, so he showed the martial arts he had learned to the people in the town. These people had never seen these amazing methods. So after seeing Qiu Yunlei's strength, they agreed to fight against the bandits together.
The bandits that Nangong Jianyu met were going to the town to catch a young adult man. Unexpectedly, they met Nangong Jianyu's carriage on the way. Qiu Yunlei was going to deal with the bandits. When he arrived, he happened to see the scene of Ji Caiyun killing the bandits, so he pretended to be bandits to test the strength of Nangong Jianyu and his group.
Qiu Yunlei knew that he could not defeat the bandit leader alone. There were many martial arts swordsmen among this group of bandits, and these were the news that Qiu Yunlei found on his own.
"Mr. Nangong, Qiu really wants to protect these townspeople, but my strength cannot protect them, so when I meet you, I have to..."
Qiu Yunlei knew that he had deceived Nangong Jianyu, but now he really needed Nangong Jianyu's powerful power. As long as he could help Nangong Jianyu help him eliminate bandits, he would agree to any conditions.
"Okay, I promise you to solve these bandits."
Nangong Jianyu has an official position, so he has to take care of such a thing. Besides, he is still determined to take Qiu Yunlei under his command and let him join the Supervisory Office to serve the Great Zhou Kingdom.
"Mr. Nangong, are you really willing to help?"
"I am not helping you, but to eliminate the harm to the people of Dazhou. I will not hide it from you. I am the president of the Supervision Office of the Great Zhou State. I have an official position. These bandits and courts are absolutely not allowed to exist."
Looking at Qiu Yunlei's excited expression, Nangong Jianyu no longer concealed his identity. He took out the waist card of the Supervision Bureau. After seeing his waist card, Qiu Yunlei was not only no longer excited, but instead had a little repulsion in his eyes.
When Nangong Jianyu saw that Qiu Yunlei's eyes were wrong, he did not ask. Perhaps he was rejecting his identity, but Nangong Jianyu didn't care about these things.
"You are from the government? So you are from the bandits."
Ruimei happened to carry tea to Nangong Jianyu and others. After seeing Nangong Jianyu's waist card, she shouted angrily. This time, Nangong Jianyu understood why Qiu Yunlei's eyes were repulsive just now.
"Rareless, this is the President of the Supervision Office, why are you talking about the corrupt officials?"
Qing Jianke growled, scaring Ruimei's hand to loosen, and the tea tray fell from her hand. Fortunately, Nangong Jianyu's eyes were sharp and he caught the tea tray. This hand was not only fast, but also very stable. No drop of tea in the tea bowl on the tea tray was spilled out.
"What are you yelling?"
Nangong Jianyu put down the tea tray, glared at Qing Jianke, then smiled gently at Ruimei, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of the tea. Although tea was not good tea, it was not difficult to eat.
"Are you really an official in the court? Not with that group of bandits?"
It was not that Qiu Yunlei had never been to the government, but the government drove him out without saying a word. At first, Qiu Yunlei felt that the government knew that the bandits were strong and afraid of fighting, so he ignored the matter. Later, he learned that the government and the bandits had long been colluding with each other.
"What kind of bandits do you think are qualified to collude with the president of the Supervisory Office?"
Nangong Jianyu put down the tea bowl and asked softly. Qiu Yunlei didn't know what the Supervisory Office represents. He had been practicing martial arts at Qiqu Villa, but he ignored the outside world. He left Qiqu Villa and returned directly to Qingquan Town.
"Are you so big as an official?"
Ruimei looked at Nangong Jianyu carefully, and her eyes were full of suspicion, because Nangong Jianyu was too young, and she couldn't believe that this young man was a high-ranking official.
"There is no official in this world that the dean cannot manage."
Qing Jianke shut up immediately after saying that. He secretly glanced at Nangong Jianyu, afraid that Nangong Jianyu would talk about him again. Qiu Yunlei was shocked to see Qing Jianke so afraid of Nangong Jianyu, because Qing Jianke's strength did not need to be afraid of anyone.
Qiu Yunlei stood in front of Nangong Jianyu, bowed deeply to Nangong Jianyu, then knelt on one knee, asking Nangong Jianyu to eliminate the bandits and eliminate the harm to the people.
This is Qiu Yunlei's petition. He promised Nangong Jianyu that as long as Nangong Jianyu swept away the bandits, he would be willing to let him go by Nangong Jianyu and never regret it.
Nangong Jianyu had originally intended to be Qiu Yunlei, but now he took the initiative to propose that it is naturally the best. Nangong Jianyu helped Qiu Yunlei up and began to ask about the news about going to the bandits.
"Wait...you said there is an old man among the bandits? Does the old man look like..."
Nangong Jianyu described it for a while, Qiu Yunlei widened his eyes, and he looked at Nangong Jianyu in disbelief.
"How did you know?"
Qiu Yunlei asked in surprise.
"I didn't expect that I actually knew their whereabouts here. It seems that God's will."
Nangong Jianyu whispered that he described the appearance of the Poison Lord. Since the Poison Lord is here, the bandit leader may be Ji Chunxi. Besides, Qiu Yunlei also said that the bandit leader was seriously injured.
"With Ji Chunxi's strength, it is unlikely that anyone can hurt him. He lost his trace after the battle in Fenyuan City. I'm afraid only him and the Poison Lord Jun know what happened later."
When they learned that the bandit leader was likely Ji Chunxi, the faces of Qing Jianke and Chu Qingyan behind Nangong Jianyu changed.
"Mr. Nangong, is Ji Cunxi you mentioned very powerful?"
Qiu Yunlei saw that the faces of several people were wrong. He knew that the Poison Lord Jun was very strong, and he was definitely not a match for the Poison Lord Jun. But when talking about Poison Lord Jun, he also saw that Nangong Jianyu and others had any reactions, but when they mentioned the name Ji Cunxi, they were different.
"He is very strong, so strong that it makes people afraid, but now one thing needs to be confirmed is whether he is really seriously injured."
If Ji Cunxi was really seriously injured, Nangong Jianyu would not miss this good opportunity. Ji Cunxi must die, whether for himself or for the Great Zhou.
"It's hard to say whether it's true or not. I also questioned this news from the bandits."
When Qiu Yunlei heard Nangong Jianyu say that Ji Cunxi was very strong, he had no reason to doubt that he had experienced Nangong Jianyu's strength.
"Whether it is true or false, I will fight him this time."
Nangong Jianyu had a decisive look in his eyes. He and Ji Cunxi were incompatible. Since he met this time, he would not let him go.
"It seems that Ji Cunxi probably has controlled many small towns like Xiangqingquan Town. He probably didn't catch adult men to make them bandits."
Chu Qingyan thought of this. When she reminded her, Nangong Jianyu suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, Ji Cunxi was stationing troops, and he had not given up on the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Qiu Yunlei, it's not time to go, so you can take us to the bandit's nest first."
