Eternal Sword

Chapter 171 Clouds move in all directions
Yanzhou.

Murong Mansion.

Deep in the backyard, in a dark and claustrophobic secret room, one can vaguely see a tall figure sitting cross-legged, motionless, like a stone statue.

At this moment, a faint sound of footsteps was heard behind the "stone statue".

Afterwards, the visitor whispered a few words behind the "stone statue".

"Ok?"

In the secret room, two rays of light suddenly lit up!

The 'stone statue' seemed to come alive, opened its eyes, and illuminated the dark room.

"Is this serious?"

The 'Stone Statue' asked.

The man behind him nodded and said another sentence.

"Go down."

The 'stone statue' replied, slowly stood up, and pushed the door open to leave.

It was noon, and the sunlight outside shone on the door of this secret room, illuminating a tall and burly figure.

This was an elderly man, eight feet tall, with a dignified demeanor, thick eyebrows, a square face, a beard like a spear, and a gaze as sharp as a torch. It seemed as if his whole body was filled with endless power!
suddenly!

There was a crackling sound coming from the old man's body, and his muscles and bones were creaking.

The next moment, the old man's facial muscles and bones squirmed, and his appearance changed drastically, shrinking into a short and skinny figure. His eyes became a little cloudy, covering up the light.

The old man came to the bronze mirror, looked at it carefully, and seemed quite satisfied.

Then his figure flashed and disappeared into the backyard like a ghost.

at the same time.

In the living room in the front yard, Murong Mansion had just seen off several guests from Bingzhou City.

"what!"

At this moment, a young girl from the Murong family rushed in angrily from behind, her face turning blue and purple, her fists clenched, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Butler Liu, I heard someone is impersonating me?"

The girl was wearing a white silk dress with a fluttering red ribbon. She had an outstanding appearance, delicate and beautiful features, a jade-like face, and clear and bright eyes.

Even when she's angry, she's still very cute.

An old housekeeper of the Murong family stepped forward and comforted her: "Miss, calm down. The governor of Bingzhou and the head of the Dugu family have seen you. They must know that this was definitely not done by you."

"Of course!"

The girl said angrily: "During this period of time, I have been practicing at home and have not even left Yanzhou City. How could it be me!"

Steward Liu said, "Right now, a warrant has been issued in Bingzhou for the arrest of the two men from Nanxia and the other four. Miss's name is among them. Bingzhou Mu sent someone here in the hope that Miss would not misunderstand."

The girl asked, "What did Murong Haitang do wrong?"

Steward Liu said, "I heard that he colluded with Fairy Yudi of Nanxia and others to murder the master of Xuantian Temple. He also killed the captains of the Azure Dragon Division and the White Tiger Division, as well as the garrison commander and the cavalry captain of the city defense army. He committed a heinous crime with extremely bad consequences."

"Good, good, good!"

The girl laughed in anger and said, "You thief, you actually used my name and committed so many crimes."

Butler Liu said, "Don't worry, young lady. As long as these four people are still in Bingzhou, they will not be able to escape for long."

The girl thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "That Murong Haitang... well, what does she look like?"

It would be fine if you use my name to do bad things, but if you are born ugly, that would ruin my reputation. I absolutely cannot tolerate that!

Butler Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be OK. I heard that he is not very old, but..."

"Just what?"

The girl asked.

Butler Liu said: "It's just that Murong Haitang is a man..."

"what!"

The girl flew into a rage.

You good thief, you really ruined my reputation!

I, the great Murong Haitang, have not even ventured into the world and shown my face, but I am burdened with such a bad reputation.

Moreover, he has changed into a man's body. How can I tolerate this!
"Give me my gun!"

Murong Haitang said angrily: "I will go to Bingzhou City right now, find the thief, and pierce him through with my own hands!" No, it should be "I will poke a dozen holes in his body, only then will I relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Murong Haitang thought so.

Butler Liu quickly advised, "Miss, don't be impulsive. Bingzhou is chasing thieves everywhere. The people hiding in the dark are fleeing like frightened birds. Bingzhou is in chaos. You must not put yourself in danger."

"It's okay, I can take care of myself."

Murong Haitang still insisted on going, and said: "Senior Brother Ming can go on the road alone, why can't I?"

Just as Butler Liu was about to persuade him again, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Only he could hear this voice, and Murong Haitang was completely unaware of it.

Butler Liu was startled and stopped trying to persuade her.

With this person following her, Murong Haitang's safety will definitely be guaranteed.

Murong Haitang was angry, so he packed his bag quickly, picked up his spear, and left Murong Mansion, heading west.

Not long after she left Murong Mansion, a short and skinny old man followed her from a distance.

……

Yongzhou.

Changsun Mansion.

"what?"

Chang Sun Jing's face changed and he frowned.

As the patriarch of the Changsun clan and a second-rank master, there are not many things that can make him change color.

At this moment, sitting next to him was the governor of Yongzhou, who was also his younger brother, Changsun Liren.

Chang Sun Jing still seemed to be unable to believe it, and asked again: "Are you saying that among the four people who are currently wanted by various parties in Bingzhou City, one of them is Ming'er?"

"good."

Yongzhou Mu nodded and said, "Among the four people, the one who goes by the pseudonym Changsun Jingran is Ming'er."

"Humph, a blockbuster, this kid is really stupid!"

Chang Sun Jing snorted and couldn't help but say, "Even if it's a pseudonym, he didn't know how to change his surname. Once others hear it, it's too easy to associate it with him."

Yongzhou Mu said in a deep voice: "This incident has a huge impact. Not only did the Xuantian Temple master die, but also the captains of the Azure Dragon Division and the White Tiger Division died."

"Moreover, now all parties are saying that they colluded with the Nanxia people, working together from the inside and outside. This is a serious crime."

Chang Sun Jing's expression turned cold, and he slammed the table and said, "Both the lieutenants are fourth-rank. Ming'er hasn't even cultivated his internal energy, so how could he possibly kill the two lieutenants?"

"Besides, Ming'er can't possibly be colluding with anyone from Nanxia!"

Yongzhou Mu sighed and said, "It's useless for us to believe Ming'er. We need Xuantian Temple, White Tiger Division, Azure Dragon Division, and Bingzhou Prefecture to believe in it."

Chang Sun Jing sneered and said, "And who exactly is that Xuan Tian Guan Master Meng Qi? Do you really think that others don't know?"

"She turned into a ghost mother and harmed so many people. She deserved to be killed!"

Chang Sun Jing took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Where is Ming'er now?"

"It's not clear yet."

Yongzhou Mu said: "After they escaped from Bingzhou City, they lost their trace, but they should be found soon."

"Do you have any idea?"

Chang Sun Jing asked.

Yongzhou Mu said: "I mean, it's best to bring Ming'er back before Bingzhou Prefecture finds Ming'er."

"understood."

Chang Sun Jing nodded and said, "I will take some people and go to Bingzhou in person."

Yongzhou Mu suddenly said: "By the way, I heard that Xuantian Temple and Yuwen Family in the capital also took action."

"Oh?"

Chang Sun Jing frowned slightly and said, "A few young thieves have alarmed the capital?"

The two looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.
