The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 109 Calculation
As soon as Li Miao said this, everyone fell silent.

Lao Qifeng walked over, checked the wounds of the body, then stood up and nodded to everyone.

"The wound isn't deep, but it hasn't scabbed over yet. Judging from the situation, it must have been sustained after we came in."

The Qingcheng Sect Leader's expression relaxed, but the others looked unhappy, and they looked hesitantly at other people.

An inescapable predicament, dangers everywhere, scarce food, the sudden appearance of the dead... and a group of people with little basis for trust.

A martial arts event of entering a secret realm and fighting for secret books turned into a martial arts version of Werewolf.

Taking advantage of the momentary panic among the crowd, Li Miao stepped aside.

Yin Minjun came over and asked in a low voice: "Sir, what about the wound?"

Li Miao chuckled softly: "I did it, did you see it?"

"Yes……"

Yin Minjun replied softly.

When entering the hallway, she and Li Miao were always at the back. Except for her, no one saw Li Miao take action.

At the moment the stone gate opened, while everyone's attention was drawn to the screams, she saw Li Miao raise his hand and throw out a sharp, light stream of true qi.

But she didn't know where the true energy had gone. It was only when she saw the wound on the back of the corpse that she reacted.

But she didn't understand why Li Miao did this.

Li Miao did not keep the secret, and used his true Qi to control his voice, and whispered to Yin Minjun: "Be careful of those people from Qingcheng Sect, they all have Gu in their bodies. This Miao King's Tomb was not discovered by accident."

"As for the wizard who manipulated the Qingcheng disciple to step on the platform, it is still unclear now. You should be more careful."

Li Miao seems to do things as he pleases, but he will never do things without a purpose. He came to Miaojiang for a serious matter, and no matter how casual he is, he will not ignore the serious matter and join in the fun.

There is naturally a reason why I insisted on visiting the Miao King's Tomb.

It's very simple, the Miao King's tomb was located at a coincidence.

Tai'an City had just resolved a witchcraft disaster, and the court would definitely carry out another cleanup in Miaojiang. This was obvious. Bu Lei, the Northern Pacification Commander, appeared in Huguang, most likely for this reason.

Be it Li Miao, Zhu Zai, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the imperial court, or even the emperor, after knowing what witchcraft can do, they would never allow this thing to be passed down.

At this critical juncture, a tomb of the Miao King suddenly appeared and was "accidentally discovered" and "the news leaked out accidentally". It also used the "Wedding Dress Magic Skill" which had been lost for decades as bait. The news spread throughout the martial arts world and attracted all the major southern martial arts sects to come.

Could it be a coincidence?
Li Miao deliberately stayed in the tent last night, and it seemed that he just had a meal and introduced himself.

But in fact, when he closed his eyes to rest, he used his ears to listen to everyone's breathing, heartbeat, and Qi flow. As expected, he found that the Qi flow in the heart meridians of several people from Qingcheng Sect was not smooth, and their heartbeats were slower than those of ordinary people.

It was somewhat similar to the five hundred Gu soldiers he killed outside Tai'an City.

At this point, the situation is basically clear.

The Miao King's Tomb is a trap, and the Qingcheng Sect is the insider, whose purpose is to lure these big sects in.

Who is the instigator and what is the purpose, still need to be tested. But as long as Li Miao is here, this matter is just a matter of when Li Miao wants to end it, no one can find out.

As for why Li Miao left wounds on a person who had been poisoned, and deliberately pointed them out, leading the situation to chaos. And why he concealed his incompetence and did not show his martial arts skills.

It can only be said that not only the mastermind behind the Miao King’s Tomb has set his sights on these gangsters, but Li Miao has also taken a fancy to them.

He wants to use these people to do his own things. He is currently laying the groundwork.

Even if it was a permanent abstinence, Li Miao was not completely without a plan. But now it could only be considered a casual move.

Let’s put Li Miao’s plan aside for now and talk about the present.

After a debate, everyone pointed their fingers at a lone swordsman named Yuan Yuan, a first-rate swordsman from no school or sect.

At this moment, he was holding the hilt of the sword, looking coldly at everyone, ready to attack at any time.

"When a Qingcheng disciple has a problem, why don't they ask Master Liu for advice, but come to me instead?"

"There are many people using swords here. Do you think you can attack me first because I have no sect or school and no one to help me?"

He said coldly.

No one spoke, footsteps moved slightly, and the siege became tighter and tighter.

That's right, I just think you're easy to bully. What else can I do? Report to the police?

You are the only one who wields a sword. Blaming the people in your sect is equivalent to blaming five second-rate or above masters at the same time. Who else can I choose if not you?

The current situation is very simple. Whether it is you or not, it is difficult to find out the result at the moment. If we don't kill one person, people will be scattered, suspicion will continue, and it will be difficult to cooperate. Killing you can at least calm people's hearts. Everyone will assume that the murderer is dead and maintain the current situation tacitly.

Everyone present is an experienced and smart person.

Smart people are very good at being generous to others.

Yuan Yuang looked at the cold gazes of the people in front of him and smiled helplessly.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. People die for money, birds die for food, it's true."

He also understood what everyone was thinking. He no longer hesitated and immediately drew his sword, ready to fight to the death.

At this moment, someone spoke loudly.

"Don't worry, I think I found a mechanism."

When everyone looked back, they saw Li Miao squatting under the platform, seemingly looking at something.

Bang!
He punched the ground, causing rocks to fly everywhere and the ground to collapse, revealing a dark cave.

Lao Qifeng immediately stepped forward and looked down at the cave.

"Torches." He called out, and a disciple of the Beggar Gang handed him a bunch of torches.

Lao Qifeng threw the torch into the cave, held his breath, and calculated secretly in his heart.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "About 80 feet, follow the rock wall to gain leverage, and go down with Qinggong. You can all do it."

"The torches are out. There should be a body of water below. With water, we will be fine for the next ten days."

He turned to look at the people surrounding Yuan Yuang and waved his hand.

"Let's put aside the issue of witchcraft harming people for now. Now that we have found a way out, we shouldn't waste our energy here."

"As long as you can get out, let's solve the problem outside."

After everyone left, Yuan Yuan let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and came over.

"Give me a torch." said Lao Qifeng.

"I'll go down first. If there's nothing going on down there, I'll draw a word with a torch. After three times, it'll go out, and you can come down."

After saying that, he jumped directly into the cave.

After a while, seeing the torches waving below, everyone no longer hesitated and used their light skills to jump down into the cave.
