Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 437 Was the man in black there to kill Qin Fang?

"What are you doing? Who are you trying to teach a lesson to? My customer? This is Qin family's shop. If you don't want to eat, turn left and go outside."

The man spoke without any politeness; he was definitely a sharp-tongued person.

Because when Gu Qingyue and the others came in, they saw that there were several beggars squatting in the alley to the left after they went out.

Are you suggesting this woman squat on the street and beg for food?

Gu Qingyue really wanted to laugh. This man seemed aloof, but he was definitely not a cold person.

The next moment, the man walked past the woman with the fragrant hair and toward Gu Qingyue's table.

"Please forgive us, guests, we'll take care of that table right away," he said, then gestured to the people behind him to herd the master and servants out.

Not polite at all.

In particular, the once delighted Miss Xiangfei's eyes turned pitiful as she stared at him. He glanced at her but remained unmoved.

"You, surnamed Qin, are ruthless! Don't forget, we're about to get engaged. If you want to back out, you'll have to see if my father agrees!"

Miss Xiangfei Se naturally refused to leave just like that. She gritted her teeth in resentment, and her expression changed quickly.

As you pass by the man, get close to him and whisper harsh words.

This sound naturally did not escape Gu Qingyue's ears, but she just listened and let it go.

It has nothing to do with her.

Seeing that the woman had also given her a sharp look before leaving with several servants in a menacing manner, Gu Qingyue nodded to the man surnamed Qin as a way of thanking him for helping her out of the predicament.

Then, we continued eating.

This girl, who thinks she's born with an innate sense of superiority, has clearly not experienced the harsh realities of society. Gu Qingyue doesn't take her seriously and won't bother arguing with such a lunatic.

However, Qihe Town truly lives up to its reputation as the most unique and free town on the border between the Great Chu and Nanzhao.

For example, in the middle of the night, Gu Qingyue heard noises coming from the roof.

She quickly released her mental energy to take a look.

Several men in black stepped over the roof tiles and quickly passed by.

Gu Qingyue closed her eyes again and continued to sleep.

However, she suddenly opened her eyes again.

Because she had just heard one of the men in black mention a name: Qin Fang.

Wasn't that the identity Mu Yun Chu used when Gu Qing Yue and Mu Yun Chu went to the auction in Qihe Town last time?

The illegitimate son of the second richest merchant in Nanzhao, he was a notorious playboy with an exceptionally sharp business mind. It is said that his father often sought his advice on business matters.

It is said that the Qin family has now surpassed the number one richest merchant and become the true number one richest merchant in Nanzhao.

Were those men in black there to kill Qin Fang?

Gu Qingyue suddenly couldn't sleep, so she went to check on things.

According to Mu Yun Chu, Qin Fang once saved his life, and the two were sworn brothers. So if he were in danger, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

So, Gu Qingyue took Xiao Nian and Yue Ling and went out.

Actually, Gu Qingyue didn't need to look for them; Yue Ling had already sent people to follow those men in black.

After all, they were passing over this inn, and the Pavilion Master was inside.

How could there be no one secretly protecting them all along?

It is imperative to monitor the movements of the men in black.

So, it became simple.

The three of them drove straight to a very large villa in the southern suburbs of Qihe Town.

Before they even got close, they could hear the sound of swords clashing.

"Sister, shall we go over there?" After the three of them had been squatting on the rooftop in the distance for a while, Xiao Nian asked.

It seemed like the fight was evenly matched, and Gu Qingyue had no intention of making a move at all.

She shook her head. "Let me think about it again."

So the three of them continued to squat.

There were quite a few men in black, and the Qin family's guards were not weak either. One can imagine how much wealth a family that can become the richest merchant must have.

How can we protect such a huge business and family fortune without training more experts?

Although the three of them were watching from a distance, Gu Qingyue's spiritual power had already been used to get closer and observe.

The soldiers of the Nanzhao army were skilled at using curved swords, and many civilians also used them, although there were differences in their styles.

Tonight, these men in black are carrying curved swords that are almost identical to those used by the military, while the Qin family's guards use slender curved swords, and each of them is quite skilled.

Gu Qingyue watched with great interest.

Half an hour later, Gu Qingyue saw a gray figure wielding a sword fly out from the main room and join the battle.

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow. Wasn't this the same sharp-tongued man she had met today?

Don't tell her that this is Qin Fang?!

"You all are really persistent! How has my Qin family offended you all?"

Qin Fang kicked a man in black to the ground, leaped onto the eaves, and shouted.

The man in black remained silent, continuing his attack with his curved sword.

Qin Fang didn't hesitate either. He whistled into the air, and a moment later, a team of guards joined the battle.

Gu Qingyue could see clearly that one of the men in black on the perimeter took advantage of the chaos to escape, leaving the courtyard and heading west.

Gu Qingyue narrowed her eyes slightly, whispered a few words in Yue Ling's ear, and Yue Ling immediately flew away with the man in black.

The fighting continued.

Xiao Nian squatted down next to Gu Qingyue and watched very attentively. "Sister, that man is the innkeeper!"

"Yes, it is him," Gu Qingyue rubbed her fingers, pondering the possibility that this was Qin Fang himself.

Last time, Mu Yun Chu only wore a half-face mask when she disguised herself as him, so she didn't know what Qin Fang looked like.

However, she felt there was a high probability that the person in front of her was Qin Fang.

A moment later, Yue Ling flew back.

"Master, the man in black did indeed go to fetch reinforcements. More than a dozen people have arrived, but their clothes are different. I wonder who they are."

"Hmm, let's check where our people are first."

Yue Ling lowered her voice, "We've arrived."

Gu Qingyue nodded. "We'll see how things go. If the other side is too strong, we'll go help Qin Fang. We can't just stand by and watch him get killed."

Yue Ling cupped her hands and immediately gestured behind her. The young men of Yueying Pavilion, all dressed in black and masked, were poised and ready to strike.

As expected, the second group of men brought by the man in black was indeed more formidable.

Qin Fang's guards were gradually overwhelmed, and they watched as the men surrounded Qin Fang, who was already covered in blood.

"Young Master Qin! It would be best to surrender." A man dressed in black, who appeared to be the leader, finally spoke.

"Dream on. I can do anything, but I will never be a coward. You think I'll surrender? Wait until I'm dead."

"Qin Fang! Why are you doing this? Cooperating with the eldest prince will surely treat you well, so why struggle so hard?" Another man in black said with a hint of sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang merely snorted coldly and continued thrusting his sword forward.

"Ha! Is it worth it? Do you know how we found out about your whereabouts?" the first man in black continued.

Qin Fang's lips curled into a sneer, "Wasn't it my good brother who told you this? Since you're willing to listen to him and come to me, why doesn't your eldest prince just cooperate with him directly? Why do you have to try to wipe me out?"
