Chapter 188 The Old Man Mengchang

In the pre-Qin period, the princes were the special title of the sons of various princes and kings, and was not used to describe the young people of wealthy families as they did later. Now, the four princes of the Warring States Period are joining each other, but they are no longer young.

Among the four young masters, the oldest was Mengchangjun Tian Wen. His peak period was obviously earlier than the other three. Now he is in his twilight years and is old. In terms of family generation, the King of Qi now has to respect him as his uncle.

Time flies, and the handsome young man who once dominated the world has long been white in his hair and old and stupid. After Mengchangjun resigned as prime minister, in recent years, he has hardly gone out except for major occasions such as royal festivals, and has been staying in the mansion to pack up flowers and plants and enjoy his life.

Older people are not as energetic as young people and cannot withstand the toss and troubles. They are drowsy every evening and go to bed early, and have no nightlife to talk about.

Tonight, Mengchangjun was awakened by his servants just as usual.

He was irritated and came to the study wearing clothes. The most trusted adviser Feng Xi was waiting there. This famous disciple who once played the song now has a vicissitudes of face, but the sharp light in his eyes is not inferior to that of the past.

Seeing that Mengchangjun was unhappy, Feng Xu reported, "Master, one hour ago, Young Master Tian Ji was captured."

Mengchangjun turned sideways, raised his eyebrows, thinking that he had heard the wrong ears, "What did you say?"

In Linzi, Qi, someone dared to capture my son, which sounds incredible.

Feng Xi approached and repeated: "One hour ago, Young Master Tian Ji was captured halfway. The murderer should be a young man. He left a message saying that we should exchange 50 million knives for others."

After confirming that he heard it correctly, Mengchangjun's expression was slightly condensed and thoughtful. As Tian Ji expected, the old father could not see any sadness on his face, and he was still calm.

"Fifty million? It's worthy of being a person who dares to blackmail me. If he only wants small money and doesn't dare to speak loudly, I really look down on him."

He smiled, walked to the desk with his hands behind his back, and signaled Feng Xi to sit down too.

Feng Xi said in a deep voice: "There are only two situations: either the other party carefully planned and made sufficient preparations to challenge us; or the other party is really a ignorant boy. He was so poor that he came up with this risky way."

Meng Changjun's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were cold, "How do you know that the murderer is a teenager?"

Feng Xi replied: "When the young master was kidnapped, he walked with Gu Can, the boy of the Gu family. He was sent back to pass the message and told me that the sound should be a young man."

After saying that, he walked to the door, waved his hand, and Gu Can quickly walked in and saluted Mengchangjun.

Mengchangjun looked at him and said, "Tell me the details."

Gu Can replied respectfully: "When Master Tian Ji and I came back tonight, I passed by Chegou Lane, and suddenly someone rushed out of the shadow..."

Mengchangjun suddenly interrupted, "The attack was in Chegou Lane?"

Gu Can nodded.

Mengchangjun frowned, "This little beast! I have warned him countless times to avoid wandering around in those romantic places, but he just doesn't listen. On the way from Yanliu Lane to Mansion, Chegou Lane is the best ambush place. It seems that the other party is quite smart. You continue talking."

"The assassin did not go straight to Master Tian Ji, but killed me first and made harsh words. At that time, we both mistakenly thought that the opponent's target was me, and came for revenge. Master Tian Ji attacked from behind that man and wanted to help me, but underestimated his opponent's cunning and was plotted against..."

Feng Xi couldn't help but say, "Pretending to attack Gu Can, confusing these two people, but actually hiding dormant and waiting for the opportunity to sneak attack the young master. This is really a clever plan. If this is the boy's own idea, I wouldn't believe it if there is no expert behind him."

This plan is called "The East and the West", and comes from "Thirty-Six Strategies" and originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Therefore, people in the Warring States Period did not know this word, nor did they know the wisdom of the five thousand years of Chinese culture.

Mengchangjun nodded and asked, "How was he plotted against me? Let's be more specific."

Gu Can recalled and described: "At that time, the man was fighting for his life, only focusing on attacking me, leaving his back to Tian Ji, and giving up defense. Tian Ji stabbed him in the back, thinking that he was successful, but unexpectedly, his back was like a wall of iron, incapable of swords and guns, emitting a bronze light!"

"bronze?"

"Yes, when the dagger stabbed the back, it made a sound of shock, very crisp, just like hitting a real bronze."

Mengchangjun didn't know what he was thinking, and his expression was slightly different.

Gu Can continued: "Tian Ji was unexpected to such an incident. He was very close to the man in order to assassinate him. Looking back now, the man obviously had expected it. He quickly turned around and slashed the dagger, cut off the dagger, and subdued Tian Ji."

Feng Xi had heard it once just now and reminded: "Tell me more about that knife, what kind of knife can immediately defeat the young master."

Gu Can suddenly realized, "The murderous intent of that knife is very terrifying. There is a faint green aura flowing from the blade, which looks very strange. I don't know what trick it is..."

Mengchangjun's pupils suddenly condensed, and a superb cold light burst out, like a sharp sword unsheathed, with a keen desire, "Are you sure the sword energy is green?"

He had a vague answer in his heart.

Gu Can nodded in a hurry.

Seeing this, Mengchangjun turned to look at Feng Xi deeply. The old partner understood and said in a deep voice: "My opinion is consistent with the master. The back is incompetent and emits copper light. It should be a kind of defensive hard skill, and I can't determine which one it is."

He waved his hand to signal Gu Can to retreat.

"As for the faint green sword energy, it is very rare. In my memory, there is only one type, called the Sixty-Four Ways Killing Wolf, which is the famous skill of the military genius Wu Qi. Based on this point, if you think about the former again, the answer will be very obvious."

Mengchangjun rubbed his knuckles and uttered four words coldly from his mouth.

"Not breaking the golden body!"

Just one skill is not enough to determine the identity of the murderer, but if it is Sha Polang plus the Bu Po Golden Body, the recognition and origin of the two are too clear, then you can guess the truth immediately.

Except for the people from the Wu family of Wei, no one can do these two things at the same time.

With the wisdom of these two old people, they have indeed successfully captured the flaws left by Yang Zheng.

Feng Xi said: "Before you woke up, I specially sent someone to check it out. In recent months, there was indeed a young man in the Wu family of Wei. He stayed in our Linzi city, named Wu Jinrong, and studied in Jixia Academy. Do you think he did it?"

Mengchangjun refused to comment, "It's a member of the Wu family, and it may not be the murderer. First of all, we must determine whether he knows those two skills."

Feng Xi said affirmatively: "Yes. At the winter test site of the school, the kid had performed in public and was seen by countless people. It was confirmed. I think it might be that he had a conflict with Tian Ji, and he relied on his identity and cleverness to retaliate against him."

Mengchangjun said, "Don't draw conclusions too early. You can take the people yourself and catch the boy back."

Compared with inference, he wants to speak more based on evidence.

Feng Xi shook his head and said distressedly: "The reason why I woke you up is because I didn't catch anyone. According to Wu Jinrong's companion, he has not seen him in the past few days, and I don't know where he went."

If they can't catch people, their clues will be cut off.

Mengchangjun snorted coldly and said to himself, "A mere little brat, you still want to fight me?" Even if I dare to give it to you, you will have no life to get it!"
