Chapter 55 Shentu Han
"Jinyiwei Baihu, Lin Qingyi."
Lin Qingyi came to Pei Xuanjing's table with a pot of wine.
"Jianghu Sanren, Pei Xuanjing."
Pei Xuanjing was a little confused as to why the other party came over, but he didn't show anything on his face and replied calmly.
"Anping Mansion, Third Grade Grandmaster Pei Xuanjing." Lin Qingyi looked shocked.
He didn't expect that his initial guess was right, and the other party turned out to be a third-grade master.
"Oh? You know me?"
Pei Xuanjing held the wine glass with surprise in his eyes.
"Haha." Lin Qingyi sneered.
He also didn't expect that he would meet a third-grade master.
Although he was not afraid of being a member of Jinyiwei, he did not want to provoke a third-grade master unless necessary.
Seeing Pei Xuanjing making an inviting gesture, Lin Qingyi could only sit down.
Lin Qingyi put down his drink, pointed at the noisy subordinates next to him, clasped his fists and said, "I've disturbed Mr. Pei, but I still want to see Haihan."
Pei Xuanjing shook his head, "What are you talking about?"
"You still don't know how Baihu knows about me?"
Lin Qingyi said, "I was fortunate enough to hear Mr. Qianhu mention it not long ago."
Pei Xuanjing was thoughtful.
Just listen to the other party continue to say, "Every warrior in the upper three realms who appears in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, I, the Jinyi Guards, will naturally know about it in the near future. Unless the other party is isolated from the world and never communicates with others, it will not be hidden from our eyes and ears."
When he said this, Lin Qingyi had a look of pride on his face. This was their pride as Jin Yiwei. Their eyes and ears are all over the world, and there may be Jinyiwei spies in any force.
Ordinary warriors may be able to ignore it, but once a warrior steps into the realm of a master in the upper three realms, he is already extraordinary and represents a completely different meaning.
Therefore, wherever there are Jinyiwei spies within the Ming Dynasty or even outside the Ming Dynasty, once a third-level warrior appears, they will record it.
They will establish an exclusive record for this warrior to determine whether the opponent can be won over or whether he will become an enemy.
However, this part of Lin Qingyi's words flashed through his mind but he did not say it out loud.
"Of course, plus news came from the Governor's Mansion not long ago that the real person was invited to Tiandu to participate in the compilation of the 'Martial Arts'. I just didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to meet the real person here today." Lin Qingyi added another reason.
As the emperor's most trusted guards, how could the emperor hide his intention to compile the "Martial Arts" from them? They even worked with the governor's office to implement it secretly and openly.
"That's it." Pei Xuanjing understood in his heart.
"Then I don't know why Baihu came to see me?" he said.
Lin Qingyi explained, "I am here today because I am waiting to arrest someone. So I want to."
He didn't say anything, but his meaning was very clear, he was here to clear the place.
Originally, it was not necessary for Lin Qingyi to come and say hello in person when Jin Yiwei was arresting people and clearing the place, but because of his speculation just now, he felt that Pei Xuanjing should be the son of some force, so he came to persuade the other party to leave.
"It's okay. You guys are busy with your business. I'm fine." Pei Xuanjing said.
You're fine, but we're afraid you'll disturb us.
Lin Qingyi murmured in his heart.
However, he didn't want to quarrel with a third-grade master, so he could only retreat, thinking that he would not be able to lure him away later.
"Do you know who you want to arrest?"
Just when the other party stood up, Pei Xuanjing asked casually while picking up vegetables.
Lin Qingyi did not hide it, "A protector of the Maitreya Sect."
Pei Xuanjing paused slightly while picking up vegetables, but quickly returned to normal.
When Lin Qingyi left, a cold look appeared on the corner of Pei Xuanjing's mouth.
Maitreya religion!
What a coincidence!
The Maitreya Sect is a branch of the White Lotus Sect, or even a very large branch of it.
If the White Lotus Sect's attitude toward the Ming Dynasty is divided into three types: cooperative, neutral, and unable to cooperate.
Then the Maitreya Cult is the main force among those who cannot cooperate. They are almost professional rebels who have been rebelling for thousands of years.
According to the clues Pei Xuanjing has investigated in the past three months, the White Lotus sect behind the scenes that supported the Liu family was the Maitreya sect.
In the past three months, Pei Xuanjing has been looking for traces of the Maitreya Cult, but he has not gained much.
I didn't expect to meet him here.
Thinking that in several of his life simulations, the Maitreya Cult would send people to kill him a few years later, it proved that he had long been on the opponent's blacklist.
Originally he wasn't going to bother Jin Yiwei in arresting someone, but now that he heard that the one being arrested was a protector of the Maitreya Sect, he was interested in getting involved.
He wanted to get some clues about the Maitreya Cult from this Maitreya Cult protector, and at least understand the strength of the forces behind him, so that he could decide Pei Xuanjing's next response.
It keeps raining!
There were violent storms, lightning and thunder.
About an hour later, Pei Xuanjing suddenly heard voices downstairs.
"Secretary, prepare a few upper rooms for us, and the food and wine will be delivered directly to us."
Lin Qingyi and others on the side also had alert looks on their faces when they heard this voice.
They slowly placed their hands on their respective embroidered spring knives in tacit understanding.
Lin Qingyi winked at a Jin Yiwei.
The Jin Yiwei stood up, walked to the guardrail, and looked down.
A group of seven people, wearing straw raincoats and bamboo hats, took off their bamboo hats at the moment. The leader was a thin middle-aged man with a gloomy face.
He turned around, nodded to Lin Qingyi, and made a gesture.
Step!
Step!
The seven people stepped up the stairs step by step.
While waiting for the other party to go up to the second floor, the seven people also saw the group of Jinyiwei dressed in green embroidered clothes.
"Jinyiwei!" The leader said hoarsely, spitting out three words coldly.
Lin Qingyi said coldly, "Shentu Han, your incident has been exposed."
The leader, Shentu Han, the guardian of Maitreya in Lin Qingyi's mouth, looked around with disdain, "Just relying on you few trash."
"Attack!" Lin Qingyi was furious and drew his sword.
Clang!
The embroidered spring sword was sharp and went straight to Shentu Han.
The Jinyiwei behind him also drew their swords at the same time and rushed straight to the remaining six people of Maitreya Sect.
"Hmph!" Shentu Han's face became even gloomier, and he swung out a black iron ruler from his waist and pointed it at the blade.
Clang!
The extremely strong energy swept across the second floor, and in an instant, tables and chairs flew across, and food and wine flew everywhere.
Pei Xuanjing by the window gently flicked his sleeves to sweep away the energy, and then continued to drink by himself, ignoring the fight between the two groups.
There is a master!
Shentu Han was shocked, but when he found that the other party did not seem to have the intention to attack, he temporarily put his mind at ease and decided to fight quickly.
After all, a master of unknown origin was here, which made him feel very dangerous.
