Chapter 33: Fighting
Yuan Xiu patted his shoulder with the scabbard of his sword, "Anyone who wants me to pull me should first ask me about this sword!"
Only then did Wang Xing realize that the person he had been chatting with was standing in the hall. He followed Yuan Xiu's gaze and saw that the two young men standing there recognized Li Huaiyun at a glance.
It's that kid! He looked at this young man with a dignified appearance, a tall posture, and an extraordinary bearing, and wondered when such a talent had appeared in Jiange! Why hadn't he noticed it before?
Qin Gang twirled his beard and pointed at Li Huaiyun, "We've been talking for so long, why don't you, the client, come out and say a few words?"
Xu Kun and A Tian both turned their gazes to Li Huaiyun, and then they realized that the person who composed the poem during the chess game at Bailu Tower last night was actually Li Huaiyun.
"Is it Li Huaiyun?" Xu Kun still didn't believe this. He knew every demon hunter in Liuyuntang very well. He knew very well who Li Huaiyun was.
My talent in martial arts is mediocre, and I don’t read much. I am very diligent. If I have the opportunity, I can enter the realm of refining the gods. I don’t know my level of chess skills, but if I want to win against the oiran, I will definitely not be able to do it without studying the chess records deeply. This person’s ability is completely
It is inconsistent with Bailulou's behavior last night.
Xu Kun clasped his fists and saluted, and glanced at Li Huaiyun, "Sikyong, was it really him at the White Deer Tower last night?"
Qin Gang responded, "It's him.".
Liu Pingzhong also interjected, "Why are you lying to me? I went to catch that fox demon, and it was Li Huaiyun of your Liuyuntang who came up with this idea."
A Tian looked sideways, surprised and speechless. He felt a little strange again, not like the Li Huaiyun he knew before.
I don't know how much ability this guy has.
Li Huaiyun walked up with a calm face, clasped his fists and saluted Sikyong and the helmsman, "These things are just exaggerated by some people, they are not as amazing as you think!"
Everyone knew that he was being modest. After all, everyone knew that he defeated the Oiran in the chess game and casually composed a poem that could be passed down through the ages.
If we look at it for hundreds of years, it is unlikely that anyone would be able to do this.
Li Huaiyun said, "Yesterday when I was searching the home of a military official, I found a letter on the table. The content of the letter mentioned the White Deer Tower. Therefore, my subordinates went to the White Deer Tower to find out."
He briefly talked about his experience and process at Bailu Tower last night, and also mentioned asking Liu Pingzhong for secret help.
It was just this that made Yuan Xiu quite unhappy. After all, he was from Jiange. However, after hearing the explanation, he agreed with his approach.
He also admitted that Liu Pingzhong was much better than him in searching and tracking.
Later, Lieutenant General Liu Ping also explained the arrest process, and had sent people to guard the fox demon's hiding place and not allow anyone to enter.
Qin Gang nodded slowly, "Well done!"
At this moment, Li Huaiyun suddenly remembered a book on breathing techniques that he found in the official's home!
He felt that there was definitely something fishy about this book, and it might even be related to the case, so he asked about it.
"Sikyong, I found that there are several books on the cabinet in the official's living room. One of them is about breathing, called Synaesthesia and Enlightenment Theory!"
Sikyong listened to this rather difficult-to-pronounce name, stroked his white beard, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Sentiment Theory! This should be an inner strength method from the Western Regions."
"Does the Sikyong know what the effect of this method is?"
"I don't know! Because the Western Regions believe in Buddhism, all kinds of martial arts practice are related to sects. Unless they join the religion, it is difficult for outsiders to come into contact with such martial arts."
Li Huaiyun joked, "Is there really such a thing as dual cultivation of Tantric Buddhism...!"
"That's true! There are indeed such techniques in the Western Regions."
Li Huaiyun thought to himself, if he could learn this, he would really be able to improve his level even while lying down.
"It seems that if you want to know the use of this breathing method, you have to ask the officials of the Ministry of War."
"Indeed!"
Li Huaiyun also wanted to tell Sikyong at the beginning that he had used this breathing method on the top floor of Bailu Tower in order to suppress the surging essence and primitive desires in his body.
However, Qin Gang said that he did not know the effect of this breathing method, so he did not talk about it in the meeting hall. First, he was planning to explain to Qin Gang in private. Second, he went to the top floor with the two courtesans, and then what happened?
He didn't do it either. This was not to undermine his dignity as a man. He couldn't allow others to know about it.
Qin Gang reminded. "It's just that there is no evidence at the moment. As long as the Ministry of War official doesn't admit it, there's nothing we can do!"
Li Huaiyun said, "Since Master Liu has caught the fox demon, let's start with that monster first! A monster or an ordinary person must have a breakthrough!"
"This way we can also know whether the official from the Ministry of War really colluded with the monsters, and if so, what was the purpose of committing such a major crime that would kill the Nine Clans."
"If you're lucky, you can ask the Yin magician hiding in Kyoto where he is hiding!"
Li Huaiyun speculated, "I always feel that the people in black robes I meet in officials' homes are most likely Yin magicians!"
Qin Gang pondered for a moment and said to Liu Pingzhong, "The interrogation will be left to you Pingzhong! Remember not to torture in private, this fox demon must know the inside story."
"I obey!" Liu Pingzhong stood up and left the meeting hall.
Qin Gang sighed with relief. If it weren't for Li Huaiyun, it is estimated that this case would have been investigated for a while. By then, I don't know what other things would have happened.
Coupled with Bailulou's chess games and poetry writing, he became more and more interested in this low-level monster hunter.
Sikyong stared at the young man below him, "At this point, there are some clues about the case, and it's all thanks to Li Huaiyun!"
Li Huaiyun immediately clasped his fists and bowed in salute, "Sikyong is ridiculous. Without the help of my partners, Hall Master Xu, Master Yuan, and Master Liu, I would not have been able to find out this step."
"Haha!" Wang Xing laughed loudly and looked at the young man with admiration. "He is quite humble and considerate. I want to thank everyone enough! I don't take any credit or take any credit."
He looked at Yuan Xiu and said, "Where did you find him? This monster hunter is quite interesting. His martial arts skills are a bit low, but he is strong enough. Do you want to consider releasing him to the King Kong Pavilion?"
Yuan Xiu glanced at Wang Xing with a look of disdain on his face, "Why? No one from Jiange can have any ideas about him."
"What if I force it?" Wang Xing raised his arm, revealing his dark, strong, and powerful muscles.
"Let me test my sword power with you!" The sword scabbard on Yuan Xiu's shoulder jumped up slightly. The sword power contained in this sword immediately shocked everyone present at the moment it was unsheathed.
Sensing danger, one subconsciously makes defensive movements.
Qin Gang sat on the main seat, motionless as a mountain, drinking tea as usual.
Wang Xing smiled and stood up excitedly. He felt that the bones in his body were about to move. It had been a long time since he had moved his muscles. "That's what I meant."
"Okay!" Qin Gang put down the tea cup and shouted in a calm tone, "This case is not over yet, who are you trying to rob here? Do you think there are not enough things going on now? You can make your own decision after investigating the case."
"Yes! Sikyong!" The two helmsmen lowered their heads and looked at each other with sharp eyes.
Li Huaiyun cupped his fists and faced Qin Gang and said, "Then I will also go to Tiehua Pavilion to see the results of the interrogation."
"Um!"
"Let's go!" He and A Tian turned around and left the meeting hall.
On the way to Tie Hua Pavilion, Ah Tian glanced at Li Huaiyun beside him and said, "Ah Yun, you actually beat Yilan Oiran in the chess game at Bailu Tower last night!"
"It's just good luck!"
"But that poem shouldn't be luck!"
Uh! Li Huaiyun didn't respond to A Tian's words. His recent behavior was inconsistent with his status as a D-level demon hunter. The most uncomfortable thing about this was his best brother A Tian in the Demon Slayer Division.
Now, except for Fang Yuan, the abilities of the two of them are also very different in all aspects, as if they are not on the same journey.
"It's not luck. In fact, I didn't write that poem!"
"Ah! Not you? But I heard someone say that no one has written this poem before."
"Actually, I listened to people reciting poems in my dream, and then when I woke up, I got up and wrote it down. It should be God's credit."
A Tian frowned. He didn't quite believe this statement. After all, it was too outrageous and sounded like coaxing a child. "God? Are you still in your dream?"
"That's it!"
Just when they were about to reach the Iron Painted Pavilion, a plump figure appeared in front of them.
When the two of them saw the person standing in front of them, they immediately clasped their fists and saluted, "Master Wooden Kite!"
Mu Yuan glanced at Li Huaiyun with her cold eyes, and then said to A Tian, "You go aside, I have something to talk to Li Huaiyun!"
A Tian has always been honest, and the other party is the helmsman of Qianji Pavilion. He glanced at Li Huaiyun, and then retreated to the shade of a tree a few meters away.
"How did you do with the structural device inside the Wooden Kite Repeater Crossbow?"
"We have a general idea and are verifying it."
Mu Yuan glared at Li Huaiyun with sharp eyes, "How is the writing on that mechanical theory you mentioned? We must hurry up."
When he thought of this, Li Huaiyun had a sad look on his face. He stayed up last night for nearly the next morning and could only write a little bit, let alone hurry up and finish it. It would not cost him his life!
"this..."
Seeing his reaction, Mu Yuan said sullenly, "You didn't write a word, right? Are you just fooling me?"
"How could that be possible? I wrote a beginning!" Li Huaiyun responded helplessly.
"Master, I hope you can understand that it takes some time to organize and write this kind of theoretical knowledge, so it will definitely be a bit slow when writing!"
"Besides, it's only been one night! Even the cattle plowing the fields are not so tired. Please be patient, helmsman!"
"Then when will you probably write?"
Li Huaiyun didn't know how to respond to this question. If he said too little, it would definitely not be completed. If he said too much, the other party would definitely have opinions. For him, this was obviously a proposition.
"I can't say for sure!"
"There's no guarantee. I can't wait here forever! There must be a deadline,"
This woman is pushing too hard!
"I have to be responsible for investigating the case these days! I may not have time to write about mechanics theory for the time being, maybe half a month or so!"
"Half a month! So long!" Mu Yuan thought for a while, "How about I ask Mr. Qin to find someone else to investigate the case, and you can concentrate on your responsibility and write down the mechanics theory."
"This...that's not necessary!" Li Huaiyun immediately rejected this request. Isn't this equivalent to locking him in a room to study? This is so uncomfortable!
He thought for a while and then said, "Actually, if I have time, I will go to Qianji Pavilion to briefly explain to the helmsman and give you guidance on the structural issues of the operation of the Wooden Kite Repeating Crossbow, and then go back and write the mechanical theory.
This allows me to be more focused when writing those things.”
"I don't know what the helmsman thinks!"
Chapter completed!
