Chapter 181
After both of them landed on the ground at the same time, they quickly moved more than 10 meters to the left and right.
Then both sides used their special moves at the same time and the two fought again.
Suddenly, leaves fell from the trees. The two energies collided with each other, and then a violent explosion occurred.
The entire forest shook as if there was an earthquake, and the trees fell down one after another. The flying dust blocked Xu Qiuyue's vision.
When the smoke cleared, both of them looked pale.
The two men faced each other, and neither of them made the first move.
They are all looking for the right moment to give the other party a fatal blow.
Suddenly, Xu Qiuyue took the lead. She jumped up and swung her sword at Aunt Mei's head. This time, Aunt Mei did not dodge, because she also drew her sword to block Xu Qiuyue.
The two swords collided fiercely, making a clanging sound.
"Bang!" Xu Qiuyue stabbed at Aunt Mei with a sword. Aunt Mei swept over with a sword.
The two fought again.
A quarter of an hour later, the two still hadn't finished fighting. Aunt Mei gradually couldn't hold on any longer, and was losing ground, and was about to die under Xu Qiuyue's sword.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and Aunt Mei immediately dropped a few smoke bombs.
Xu Qiuyue reacted in time and avoided Aunt Mei's sneak attack. Xu Qiuyue was worried that the smoke bomb was highly toxic, so she had to be cautious in everything.
Aunt Mei took the opportunity to escape.
The method of escape was exactly the same as last time.
Aunt Mei is very powerful. Even if Xu Qiuyue drinks spiritual spring water every day, she cannot compare to Aunt Mei.
The main thing is that Aunt Mei's martial arts are the result of decades of hard practice, and she has rich combat experience and has fought against countless masters.
It was pure luck that Xu Qiuyue was able to defeat the man with the knife last time.
Even though Aunt Mei said Lu Yuan did not betray her.
But Xu Qiuyue still didn't dare to go back to the Lu Mansion directly. What if she was caught in a jar, she would have nowhere to escape.
Although her martial arts skills are good, there are many people in the world who are better than her in martial arts.
Xu Qiuyue changed his clothes again and disguised himself again, becoming a short and ugly man.
Xu Qiuyue’s height is not short, but it is obviously not tall enough to dress up as a man.
Therefore, it is more appropriate to dress up as a wretched man.
Xu Qiuyue plans to go to the underground black market to gather some information.
There is also an underground black market in Beijing. Xu Qiuyue has been there before and basically knows a little about the market conditions there.
The black market usually opens at night, and Xu Qiuyue waited until nightfall before entering the black market.
There are all kinds of people here, and most of them are hiding here because they have committed crimes.
Xu Qiuyue found Bai Xiaosheng with ease.
She dropped a gold ingot.
"I want news about the Fountain of Immortality."
Xu Qiuyue said in a low voice.
Her eyes were filled with longing for the Fountain of Immortality.
Xu Qiuyue was deliberately inquiring about the Immortal Fountain. If she had asked directly what major events had happened in the capital recently, everyone would have known that she had just returned from another place and would have known that there was something wrong with her.
You can also get this information indirectly by asking the Immortal Spring directly. "Sir, it is said that the Immortal Spring can make people stay young forever, and make them immortal. It is such a good thing, but your gold is not enough..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qiuyue immediately wanted to pick up the gold that she dropped. This piece of gold was not small, weighing ten taels!
Bai Xiaosheng's hands were faster. Before Xu Qiuyue picked up the gold, he took the gold into his arms and said to Xu Qiuyue with a smile: "Sir, your gold is just right for finding out the news about the Immortal Spring.
Rumor has it that eighteen years ago, the Blood Demon gave birth to a daughter, who was raised as a peasant girl and is now married to Lu Yuan, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.
Before, Lu Yuan was demoted to North City by the emperor, and she followed Lu Yuan to North City.
Now, Lu Yuan has returned to the capital ahead of schedule, and the emperor's decree has summoned her back. She should be on her way back to the capital now.
She must have information about the Fountain of Immortality. You just need to find her and you will definitely be able to obtain the Fountain of Immortality."
"Really? I remember that the Blood Witch was once an astrologer of Sheng State. She calculated that the emperor's favorite concubine Yang Fei was a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country. Then, her maid Zi'er reported her, saying that she had a crush on the emperor and deliberately wanted to slander Yang Fei. Therefore, the emperor was furious and banished her to the Red Mansion.
The women who went to the Red Mansion would be given sterilization drugs and would be infertile for life. They could only stay in the Red Mansion and enjoy the pleasure of men.
How could she give birth to a daughter?
Your news is false, give me back my gold."
In his previous life, Xuan Jiuqing tried his best to find the Blood Witch's relics, so he knew all about her past.
"Sir, it seems that you have good information. The Blood Witch has indeed fallen into the Red Mansion, but she has the Immortal Fountain, which can heal all injuries. Even her broken meridians can be restored. She can have children again. What's the problem?"
“But after the Blood Witch escaped from the Red Mansion, she changed her name to the Blood Witch and specialized in hunting down royal family members. She even attempted to assassinate the emperor once.
In the end, she was injured by King Ning'an himself. After that, she could only be tracked down by the masters of the imperial palace. Eighteen years ago, she completely disappeared in Taohua Town without a trace.
I remember that her body has never been found. Since the Immortal Fountain is so powerful, she must still be alive!"
Xu Qiuyue expressed her guess.
Because no one has ever seen the Blood Witch's corpse.
Xu Qiuyue didn't believe what Aunt Mei said, Xue Ji was Emperor Sheng's favorite woman.
Emperor Sheng doted on Concubine Yang so much back then, but unfortunately, after she gave birth to the crown prince, Emperor Sheng ordered her to be executed in order to prevent external relatives from interfering in politics. Even her brothers and sisters who had married out were not spared.
If you really love Concubine Yang, just kill her.
Why execute her family?
As for Xue Ji, she should be Emperor Sheng’s Xue Fei, who was rumored to have been stabbed to death.
The fate of Xue Fei's mother's family was not much better, they were all executed.
Not a single one was left.
If he had had even a little bit of affection for Concubine Xue, he would not have executed all of her maternal relatives.
The other concubines were fine. Although they were not favored, their families were all living well.
As for Concubine Li, the most favored by Emperor Sheng now, Xu Qiuyue also remembered the fate of Concubine Li. After Concubine Li fell out of favor, she committed suicide.
Then Emperor Sheng found another unlucky excuse and exterminated Concubine Li's family as well.
Of course, Emperor Sheng had more than three favored concubines in his life.
There are some more that Xu Qiuyue can’t remember clearly.
But without exception, the maternal families of all the concubines favored by Emperor Sheng were exterminated.
Several people died before, and perhaps no concubine cared.
But as more and more people died, they also discovered this pattern and were basically unwilling to actively compete for favor. Emperor Sheng's harem was exceptionally harmonious.
