123 Mysterious Man PK Mysterious Man
Mu Peilan was not worried that the people in the Duke of Jingguo would want to go out to promote today's affairs and ruin the reputation of Bai Fuling.
When such a scandal happened to the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion, they were embarrassed to tell the outside world that the reason why Bai Fuling made a big fuss about Jingguo's Mansion was not worthy of being informed by outsiders, and the second reason why Bai Fuling's trouble really made them lose face. For this family who was eager to save face, even if they were angry and aggrieved, they would rather embellish the peace and pretend that this incident had never happened.
Besides, they cannot harm others, and it is impossible to adopt the title. Duke Jingguo was sick for only a few days. They were too busy dealing with funerals and fighting for the family property. How could they have time to discredit Duke Zhongguo’s mansion?
But there are too many people who witnessed that scene, I am afraid that they may not be able to hide it if they want to hide it.
Bai Fuling expressed calmness about this. Even if the matter was really spread throughout the city, she felt it was unreasonable. Because of the abacus of the Duke of Jingguo's mansion, people who had a little knowledge in the capital knew it. They would think that whatever they said was a grudge, and they felt resentful, so they created rumors to attack her.
Mu Peilan thought about it and then became worried about another thing: "Ling'er humiliated them so much today, and they all refused to tell the origins of the masters who ambushed us. I'm afraid this is not simple."
When Bai Fuling heard that her mother took the initiative to mention this matter, she quickly asked about their experiences this day and night.
It turned out that yesterday, Bai Chou and Mu Peilan left Beijing together and headed to Banzhuang Mountain. When they walked to the valley, they noticed something was wrong. One of them was a killer and the other was the head of the Qingyiwei. They were both top figures in the industry and were particularly sensitive to dangers. Before the enemy could start them, they discovered that they had almost escaped the trap set by the other party.
However, the number of opponents is as large as ten, and any couple who are not inferior to those who have been poisoned by the ghost face poison and have lost more than half of their skills. The couple relied on their experience in opposing the enemy to support them. Fortunately, the other party did not seem to have planned to take their lives.
They dared not fall in love with the fight, and just wanted to escape as soon as possible, but the other party cooperated tacitly. Although they were stabbed three of them, they could not get rid of them.
Later, the other party was also aroused to kill, and his actions became more and more ruthless. Just when they were about to be unable to support them, more than a dozen masters suddenly ran out from somewhere. These people were ruthless and evil in martial arts. As soon as they came up, they killed the people who ambushed their couple. In just one meal, they killed all ten people on the other party!
Bai Fuling blinked and said, "Well, what did those masters come from later? I sent someone to Banzhuang Mountain to find you. I only saw signs of fighting, but I didn't see any corpses..."
Bai Chou and Mu Peilan looked at each other with a complicated expression: "These people were covered in faces, and they didn't say a word from beginning to end, let alone self-reported, but they were very respectful to us. The corpses of the people who ambushed us were melted by their use."
"They also have corpse-transforming powder? They are very respectful to their parents? Could they be the uncles and uncles of Qiufeng Pavilion?" Bai Fuling immediately thought of this. Corse-transforming powder is very rare in the world. The formula is in the hands of a very small number of "evil demons and heretics". Qiufeng Pavilion is one of them. Bai Shisan also has corpse-transforming powder in his hands, which was obtained from the butler Bai Shenbai, one of the elders of Qiufeng Pavilion.
Bai Chou shook his head and said, "If it were someone from Qiufeng Pavilion, how could he say nothing if he had such an opportunity to sell me for money?" The current boss of Qiufeng Pavilion was his "colleague" back then. He really gave him good face, but if he wanted to do something to them or owe them favors, they would come to ask for money very seriously.
"Who could it be?" Bai Fuling said in confusion. In his impression, his parents had no friends with such a ruthless style except those from Qiufeng Pavilion and Qingyiwei.
Mu Peilan frowned and thought for a moment, saying, "It is very likely that he is from the Demon Sect... I remember that among the dozen masked people, one had a big bag bulging on his forehead and the other had a bizarre neck. Although they were covered with eyes tightly, these two strange things could not be concealed."
Bai Chou obviously remembered it: "Yes! This... isn't this the morphological characteristics of two of the three thieves in the Demon Sect that the Hai family boy tracked that day?"
"Yes, it is reported that the three thieves of Yanxia escaped later. I think these people who saved us are probably from the Demon Sect like them. However, we have no friendship with the Demon Sect. Why did they come to save us and be so polite to us?" Mu Peilan was puzzled.
Little Nie's face flashed through Bai Fuling's heart, but for various reasons, she really didn't want to mention him in front of her parents, so she pretended to be relaxed: "Maybe they are under another force and are going to deal with those who attack you."
"It's not impossible." Bai Chou nodded and agreed that various forces in the martial arts world, including the Demon Sect, and the so-called well-known factions, are actually related to different forces in the court, and the two sides benefit each other. It can even be said that these forces in the martial arts world are controlled and exploited by the people in the court.
He thought that after those people killed people, they had never even seen the appearance of the deceased, and they did not have any actions to check the identity of the deceased, so they directly used corpse-dissolving powder to completely clean the corpse. There were only two reasons for such actions: one was that they knew the identity of the deceased very well, so there was no need to look at it anymore, and the other was that they did not want to be exposed. As for whether they were afraid that the matter would cause trouble, or whether the identity of these people would have some adverse consequences, it was unknown.
"Don't worry about them for now, mom, what are the origins of those who attacked you?" Bai Fuling asked. She was not clueless, but wanted to compare and confirm with her mother's guess so as not to retaliate against the wrong partner. Dare to secretly attack her parents? This bastard is dead!
Mu Peilan didn't want to say it at first, but judging from her daughter's appearance, she knew that she already had a partner of suspicion in her heart, so she could only say, "It's probably the subordinate of the eldest prince." The third master of the Lin family tried hard to please the eldest prince, which was not a secret. Those who were able to raise such masters could count one hand in the capital.
But if there is no major benefit in it, the eldest prince will never find any trouble and interfere in the matter between the Duke of Jingguo Mansion and the Duke of Zhongguo Mansion.
Mu Peilan is different from her husband and daughter. She has lived in the circle of powerful people in the capital for more than ten or twenty years. She is also the only daughter of Duke Zhongguo, the head of Qingyiwei. She has a keen political sense. When she thinks deeper, she will have a vague answer. Is this involvement in rebellion, or it is better not to get involved as much as possible.
