Chapter 98 Apricot Forest

"Senior Shan, you will know if I am talking nonsense once you see me."

Murong Ji broke free from Shan Zheng's hand and started taking off his clothes.

Shan Zheng looked at his hand in a daze. His internal strength was not low. Murong Ji easily broke free from his grip. This strength...

"Senior Shan, please take a look."

Shan Zheng looked up and saw two knife wounds on Murong Ji's back, one vertical and one horizontal, so deep that the bone was visible!

There were some burn marks around the skin. If it wasn’t a flame knife, then what was it!
Shan Zheng's pupils suddenly shrank. Not only that, Murong Ji turned around with his bare arms, and there was a dark blue palm print on his chest!

"Great Vajra Palm!"

Shan Zheng cried out in surprise, feeling his heart and liver trembling. At this moment he had only one thought: something big had happened!
After Murong Ji put on his clothes and sat down again, he found that everything around him was quiet, which was completely different from the noise and playfulness on the other side of the inn.

Shan Zheng was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Master Murong, has that person ever demonstrated the Murong family's unique skills?"

Murong Ji frowned slightly and said slowly: "I never showed it during the fight with him."

The meaning of this statement is clear, but there is no way to be sure whether the other party has the Murong family's unique skills.

Shan Zheng sighed and asked again: "It is rumored that after Mr. Murong Bo fought with others, he returned and was..."

Murong Ji nodded, and then added, "To be honest with you, Senior Shan, my mother also died in the palm of this Vajra."

Shan Zheng was silent for a while. Murong Ji sat beside him, sipping tea. The Shan family liked to get involved in everything, so he decided to borrow some of their reputation.

Once his reputation spread, no one could stop him from taking power in the Murong family. With the righteousness in mind, he would not have to worry about anything even if he took action against Deng Baichuan in the future.

Besides, it’s nice to have someone to take the blame.

"Alas, things are complicated and involved with many forces. We should first meet up with the Beggars' Sect and discuss a countermeasure."

Murong Ji smiled and said, "The death of Elder Ma of the Beggars' Sect this time has implicated the Murong family, but... Senior Shan, do you think this is a trap for the Beggars' Sect?"

"The relationship between my elder brother and me... If I had not gone to pick him up, then when Xixia attacked Song, he happened to be in Jian'an Prefecture. Once the rumor spread, my Murong family would not be able to clear themselves from the blame."

"If some key evidence emerges at that time..."

Murong Ji said this and changed the subject, "If we use the same method to deal with the Beggars' Sect..."

"It's time to have a serious discussion." Shan Zheng's brows were almost wrinkled.

Murong Ji poured him a glass of wine and said, "Why don't we wait and see what will happen to the Beggars' Sect? If it is really as I thought, why don't we take advantage of their tricks?"

Shan Zheng pondered for a long time, and he understood Murong Ji's meaning, "The Beggars' Sect is full of experts, so we can take people from them..."

"Then we will handle this matter in the Beggars' Sect."

"Okay, let's first see what kind of monsters and demons they are."

The two clinked their glasses and reached an agreement.

Murong Ji didn't believe it at all. His goal was to pull the Murong family out of the quagmire. Other sects had nothing to do with him.

The next day, Murong Jia led everyone to the apricot forest outside the city. That was the place agreed upon with the Beggars' Gang and was also one of the Beggars' Gang's temporary strongholds.

When we arrived here, quite a few people had already gathered here.

The arrival of the Murong family instantly aroused the hostility of the Beggars' Sect. Murong Ji glanced at everyone and realized that they had arrived too early as the top leaders of the Beggars' Sect had not yet arrived.

"Where is your gang leader? Where did he go?" Bao Bu Tong stepped forward and asked.

Murong Ji frowned slightly. He remembered that Bao Bu Tong was a nagging person who always offended people. Now that he was in charge of the Murong family, he couldn't let him cheat him. "Brother Bao San, don't ask. Since the Beggars' Sect is set here, the head elder will naturally appear. Come and take a rest."

Bao Bu Tong hesitated for a moment, not wanting to offend Murong Ji, so he turned around and walked back, waiting quietly.

As time went on, he became impatient. "Isn't this Beggars' Sect too arrogant? They've kept us waiting for several hours?!! They're just a bunch of stinky..."

"Brother Bao San!" Murong Ji interrupted him and took the water bag handed to him from behind, "Come, drink some water."

Feng Bo'e saw it clearly and chuckled. Compared to Murong Fu's pride and aloofness, this second young master was actually easy-going and smart.

"Third brother, please stop talking. Look at the people you offended before..."

Murong Ji took out the book, found a place to read, and followed the precepts given to him by Shi Yuan, which he had to read every day as his homework.

Soon, Bao Bu Tong couldn't wait any longer. The wait was too much. He glanced around and saw someone. "Why is she here?!"

"Sir, my cousin is here."

Murong Ji came back to his senses and turned around, and saw a manor owner of the Murong family walking towards him with Wang Yuyan.

Beside her were Azhu and Abi.

"Snapped!"

Murong Ji slapped his forehead. How could he forget about her? Wang Yuyan is such a beautiful heroine, how could he forget about her?

[Isn't she guarding Murong Fu's body? ! ]

"Miss Cousin."

"Miss Cousin"

Wang Yuyan ignored Bao Bu Tong and the other person, and walked straight to Murong Ji, hesitating about how to start the conversation.

Murong Ji felt even more pity for her when he saw her tearful face.

But when I saw her, I couldn’t help but think of Li Qiu Shui.

Li Qingluo and Li Qiu Shui are very similar, but not as similar as Wang Yuyan.

It has to be said that Wang Yuyan's face looks more like the jade sculptures in the Langhuan Jade Cave.

"What's wrong? Someone bullied you? Tell me and I'll beat him up." I wanted to reach out and touch her head, only to find that she was no longer a child.

Wang Yuyan raised her head and looked at him stubbornly, "Second cousin, did you kill the eldest cousin?!"

"They said that your cousin bullied you when you were a child, and you hold a grudge against him..."

The sympathy that Murong Ji had just felt disappeared in an instant, and the smile on his face turned cold. "How did you know that I killed my eldest brother?"

Wang Yuyan murmured but didn't say anything.

"Huh?! You are not a child anymore, and it is said that you have read so many books. Then think about it, how can I learn the last chapter of Dou Zhuan Xing Yi after killing Murong Fu?"

"How can I learn the sword-controlling style of the Dragon City Sword Technique?"

"Or do you think that someone can be so magnanimous as to teach his enemy martial arts and secret techniques after being killed?"

Murong Ji was too lazy to pay attention to her. He glanced around, found a shady spot, and walked over. "Also, if you have doubts, show evidence instead of just saying it's the truth."

Murong Ji opened the book and continued reading.
