Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!
Chapter 284 News from Linjiu City
Yun Huizhou was certain that there would be someone with a perverse temperament who would secretly target him after being provoked.
If Cai Yong also wanted the treasure, based on what Yun Huizhou knew, although Cai Yong had some martial arts skills, they were only at the level of Li who had just started learning for a year.
Even if he got the treasure, he would probably be too weak to receive it.
And... Cai Yong does have the ability to train those killers, but can he really summon an extraordinary master to the desert just to intercept the Lord of the South Island?
He believed that Cai Yong must have some top-notch masters working for him, but he didn't believe in any extraordinary masters.
He couldn't figure this out, but General Lei must know something.
However, since he had chosen to continue in the martial arts world, it would be inappropriate for him to ask too much about the affairs of the court.
Thinking of this, he glanced towards the bathroom in the compartment, perhaps Lian Li would have some different ideas.
Qu Tingquan took a sip of water and continued, "Another incident happened. The news has not been spread out and not many people know about it, but it is not a good thing either."
Yun Huizhou asked, "What's the matter?"
"The precious medicine of the Linjiu City Lord's Mansion, the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, was stolen."
As soon as Qu Tingquan said this, not to mention Yun Huizhou, even Lian Li who was taking a bath in the bathtub almost jumped out of the tub.
"How could it be?" Yun Huizhou said, "Hasn't the Fire Ganoderma been kept by Senior Jin? Who could steal it from her? Even if it was an extraordinary master like Ling, it would be impossible to steal it quietly. It can only be robbed by force."
If it was a robbery, then the person who stole the Fire Ganoderma would definitely fight with Jin Fuling. There are only a few extraordinary masters, and once they fight, Jin Fuling will know who the other party is.
Qu Tingquan said solemnly, "Master of Jinzui Tower, Jin Manjue was seriously injured and on the verge of death while trying to save his beloved concubine. He needs the juice of the Fire Ganoderma Lucidum as a medicine."
"And Senior Jin happened to be in seclusion at a critical juncture, so he had to ask Linjiu City Lord Jin Manyi to bring the Fire Ganoderma to the City Lord's Mansion to extract the juice to make medicine."
When Qu Tingquan talked about Jin Manjue saving his concubine, Yun Huizhou's surprised expression completely disappeared.
His facial expression management was still very good, but Lian Li's expression became very strange when he was taking a bath in the cubicle.
Jin Manjue's concubine? He remembered that when he and Yun Huizhou first went to see Jin Manjue, Jin Manjue said that he didn't even have a concubine.
The last time when he competed with the people from Maple Leaf Valley, I didn't hear that Jin Manjue had a concubine, but it was true that he had a beautiful maid by his side.
However, he and Yun Huizhou had already judged that the maid was a person who had ill intentions and deliberately approached Jin Manjue, and they also believed that Jin Manjue should know about it.
Could this concubine be the maid Yuan'er?
Didn’t Jin Manjue already know that Yuan’er might have problems? How could he let Yuan’er become his concubine?
Well, even if Jin Manjue is a lustful man who covets Yuan'er's beauty and wants her to be his concubine, would he allow himself to be seriously injured and on the verge of death in order to save Yuan'er, a person he knows has problems?
Suspicious, really suspicious.
Lian Li had countless question marks in his mind.
Qu Tingquan continued, "After the Fire Ganoderma was taken to the City Lord's Mansion to extract its juice, it was placed in a warm place and kept in a jade box made of warm jade. It was planned to be sent back to Senior Jin after a few days. But the night before it was to be sent away, the Fire Ganoderma was stolen."
Yun Huizhou said dryly: "Is that so?"
Qu Tingquan sighed and said, "I really didn't expect this to happen. The timing is just too coincidental. Senior Jin happened to be in seclusion, and Jin Manjue happened to be injured while trying to save his concubine."
"To be honest, if it was Jin Manjue who was injured and dying, I would have wondered if someone was plotting behind the scenes, but Jin Manjue was so badly injured to save his concubine... The uncertainty of whether he would save her was too great. At that time, no one could be sure that Jin Manjue would definitely save his concubine, which made me hesitate."
"Besides, the City Lord's Mansion was heavily guarded. I heard that they didn't notice anyone sneaking in. It was not until the other party got the stuff that they realized and chased after them. I think the person who stole the Fire Ganoderma was probably someone who had been lurking in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time."
"Unfortunately, the opponent's Qinggong is so powerful that even the Jincheng Lord himself couldn't catch up."
Qu Tingquan's expression was a little worried: "Although the news of the theft of the Fire Ganoderma has been kept secret and not many people know about it, there are many people who are interested in the Fire Ganoderma among those who know about it."
"A great treasure is about to be born over there, and without the protection of extraordinary masters over here, the world of martial arts will no longer be at peace."
After listening to Qu Tingquan's words, Yun Huizhou was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Miss Qu, do you know the name of Jin Manjue's concubine?"
Qu Tingquan was a little confused as to why Yun Huizhou asked this, but he still answered truthfully: "I heard her name is Yuan'er, an orphan rescued by Jin Manjue. She is very beautiful and considerate. Jin Manjue doted on her very much and made her a maid by his side for two months before taking her in as a concubine."
After she said this, she saw Yun Huizhou's mouth seemed to move, as if he wanted to say something, or it seemed like the corners of his mouth were just twitching.
She couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yun, why do you look like that? Do you know something?"
Yun Huizhou shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just met this girl Yuan'er once when I went to see Jin Manjue before, but I didn't expect that Jin Manjue would accept that girl as his concubine in the end."
Qu Tingquan was misled by his words. He thought about it and asked, "Brother Yun, do you mean that Jin Manjue originally did not intend to make that girl a concubine but wanted to marry her directly?"
Yun Huizhou shut his mouth, mainly because he didn't know how to answer Qu Tingquan's question.
There was definitely something wrong with Yuan'er, but that was a judgment he and Jin Manjue made a year ago, and he didn't know if there would be any changes in this year.
Maybe Yuan'er is actually fine and they are just overthinking it?
Although he felt that this possibility was small, Linjiu City and Jinzuilou had now said so to the outside world, and even Qu Tingquan had been kept in the dark, so he couldn't tell the truth directly.
So he could only let Qu Tingquan continue to use his imagination and make sense of the unreasonable parts.
Sure enough, he heard Qu Tingquan muttering in a low voice: "Could it be that Jin Manjue's family looked down on the girl's background and did not allow Jin Manjue to marry her? Jin Manjue was unwilling to let the girl be his concubine, so he was ready to let her go. But because he really liked her, he couldn't let her go, so he finally accepted her as his concubine. When he encountered danger, he subconsciously ignored his own safety and went to save her, causing himself to be seriously injured and on the verge of death."
