The tomb of Lord Chu City is located on a hill to the east outside Shenlei City. The scenery here is beautiful, and there is even a gurgling stream flowing slowly in front of the post. Standing on the top of the post, you can take in the whole view of Shenlei City.
This Feng Shui treasure point was chosen by City Lord Chu a long time ago. In order to show his benevolence and righteousness, and to prove that he was not the kind of snob who just likes tea, Xue Dongfeng did not stop him in order to cover up the truth of his murder of the Lord of Chu City.
After Chu Yunyan and Ma Yunliang left the inn, they hid here.
Firstly, Chu Yunyan missed her father, and secondly, it was relatively safe here.
The entire Shenlei City is full of Xue Dongfeng's spies. Staying in the city means life or death. Being outside the city is safer than being in the city. In addition, the Lord of Chu City was killed by Xue Dongfeng. Xue Dongfeng must have a taboo in his heart, and I am afraid that he will not think of this for a while. Even if he thought about it, Xue Dongfeng would not search here easily because of his guilty conscience. Chu Yunyan only wanted to hide here for three days. As long as she waited for the birthday of the Reverend Hidden Blade and saw the Reverend Hidden Blade, she could avenge her father's injustice.
Although it was a temporary hiding place, Chu Yunyan was a rich man after all, and Ma Yunliang was unwilling to let her suffer. Early in the morning, he built a small wooden house deep in the woods for Chu Yunyan to rest.
Ma Yunliang went out early in the morning and brought back a hare. He was thinking that tonight, he and Chu Yunyan would finally have a good meal. When he entered the hut, he found that Chu Yunyan had disappeared. The rabbit in Ma Yunliang's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and then Ma Yunliang swept out of the cabin like the wind.
After a frantic search, Ma Yunliang finally found Chu Yunyan in front of the tombstone of City Lord Chu. Chu Yunyan was kneeling there, her shoulders twitching slightly, as if she was crying sadly.
Ma Yunliang hurriedly rushed over and whispered, "Miss, it's not safe here, you will be discovered."
Chu Yunyan raised her head slightly, looked at Ma Yunliang with tearful eyes, and murmured, "Uncle Ma, I... I miss my dad."
When Chu Yunyan said this, Ma Yunliang almost burst into tears. He knelt down in front of the tomb with a thud, and said in an extremely deep voice, blaming himself, "It's all because of my incompetence. I didn't...failed to protect the city lord."
"Uncle Ma, how can I blame you for this? If I am to blame, I can only blame Xue Dongfeng for being too cunning and vicious!"
Ma Yunliang nodded heavily, his face filled with deep hatred, "Miss is right, a bastard like Xue Dongfeng will definitely not end well! Miss, there is one thing, I have actually thought about it for a long time You said so much."
"What's the matter?" Chu Yunyan turned around and asked.
Ma Yunliang said, "In my opinion, even if we see Venerable Hidden Knife, he may not avenge us. Now we don't have any decent evidence in our hands. If we want Venerable Hidden Knife to kill Xue Dongfeng, That’s even harder. Have you ever thought about this?”
Chu Yunyan's expression became more and more sad, and she nodded slightly, murmuring, "Of course I have thought about it! But besides begging the Hidden Sword Master, do we have any other options?"
"Yes! I think that Young Master Wandong Wan is upright and hates evil, and his cultivation is definitely not inferior to that of Xue Dongfeng. If he is willing to take action, he will definitely get rid of Xue Dongfeng!"
"Uncle Ma, how do you know that Mr. Wan's cultivation level is not inferior to Xue Dongfeng's?"
"Do you still need to ask? You saw what happened that night. Mr. Wan knocked back Xue Dongfeng with just one palm. How amazing!"
Chu Yunyan shook her head slightly, and said in a miserable voice, "Uncle Ma, you were deceived by Xue Dongfeng. My father has told me a long time ago that Xue Dongfeng is a person who has a lot of secrets, and he has probably achieved perfection." ”
"What!? Is this... is this possible?" Chu Yunyan's words made Ma Yunliang's eyes pop out in shock.
"Yeah, I didn't believe it at first. But now think about it, if Xue Dongfeng didn't achieve perfection, how could he kill my father?"
"Isn't it Xue Dongfeng who attacked the city lord secretly?"
"Sneak attack? Absolutely impossible! My father has long known that Xue Dongfeng did not have good intentions, and has been wary of him for a long time."
"Xue Dongfeng is also in the state of perfection, so... doesn't that mean that even if Venerable Hidden Blade agrees to help us, he may not be able to kill Xue Dongfeng." Ma Yunliang's brows were wrinkled into iron knots, and his expression was unprecedented. Shocked and solemn.
"Yes, even Master Yin Dao is not completely sure that he can kill Xue Dongfeng. How can we put our hope in Mr. Wan? Mr. Wan has been kind to us, and we don't know how to repay it. If we continue to do so because of this If things harm him, then how can we have the dignity to stand between heaven and earth?”
Ma Yunliang seemed to understand everything. He nodded and murmured, "No wonder, Miss, you left the inn resolutely and did not listen to my persuasion at all."
"Master Wan is willing to stay with us for one night and heal your injuries. I am very satisfied."
"Hurry up, don't delay! It's too late, I want you to look good!" As soon as Chu Yunyan finished speaking, there was a burst of curses in the air.
Ma Yunliang's expression immediately changed, and he pulled Chu Yunyan's figure and retreated into the woods next to the tomb of Lord Chu City.
"Miss, from the sound, there seems to be a lot of people. Could it be Xue Dongfeng's people came here?" Ma Yunliang asked in a low voice full of worry.
Chu Yunyan frowned tightly, her expression no less relaxed than Ma Yunliang's. "That shouldn't be the case. Even if Xue Dongfeng's people find this place, they won't find it so quickly."
Before Chu Yunyan finished speaking, a large group of people appeared in their sight.
When they saw this group of people, Chu Yunyan and Ma Yunliang's hearts sank at the same time. It was a group of officers and soldiers!
"Did I make a mistake?" Chu Yunyan frowned.
"Miss, I see there aren't many people on the other side, I'll go out and kill them!" Ma Yunliang said with a stern expression.
Chu Yunyan stretched out her hand to stop him, shook her head and said, "Don't worry, maybe he's not coming for us."
Ma Yun's conscience was somewhat disapproving, thinking that Chu Yunyan was a fluke. But soon, he discovered that what Chu Yunyan said seemed to be right. When the group of people arrived in front of the tomb of Lord Chu, they stopped and showed no signs of searching around.
"I know the leader, he seems to be Hu Gui!" Ma Yunliang suddenly said.
Chu Yunyan nodded. Although Hu Gui was only a small commander, he often visited the city lord's palace. Chu Yunyan also had an impression of him.
"What is this kid doing here? He doesn't seem to be from Xue Dongfeng." Ma Yunliang looked confused.
At this moment, Hu Gui waved his hand, and a group of soldiers immediately came forward, with animals, fruits, wine, sandalwood and money. In a short time, the tomb of the Lord of Chu City was filled with everything.
Seeing this scene, Ma Yunliang was both surprised and moved. He murmured, "Normally, I don't pay attention to this kid Hu Gui at all. I always feel that he is nothing but a charlatan, but I didn't expect that this kid actually Have such a conscience.”
Chu Yunyan shook her head lightly and said, "Uncle Ma, don't rush to a conclusion yet. Maybe this is a trap set by Xue Dongfeng to deliberately lure us into the bait?"
When Ma Yunliang heard that it made sense, he stopped talking and just stared.
"How come you bastards have such long eyes that you can't even put the sacrifices in order?" After Hu Gui scolded all his men, he personally rearranged all the sacrifices in order.
While posing, Hu Gui muttered, "City Lord Chu, little Hu Gui, come to see you! You are a good man, you have brought so much benefit to the people of our Divine Thunder City, your love, our Divine Thunder City All the people will remember it in their hearts!”
Hu Gui's nagging made Chu Yunyan's eye circles turn red again, and her eyes flashed with tears.
"Come! Kowtow to Lord Chu!"
Under the leadership of Hu Gui, all the officers and soldiers knelt down and kowtowed three times towards the tomb of Lord Chu City.
"Xue Dongfeng, you are a bastard, a beast, a bastard, a bastard!..." After kowtowing to City Lord Chu, Hu Gui suddenly opened his mouth and started to curse. The curse was so loud that it could be heard for miles around. Clearly.
Hu Gui's scolding shocked Chu Yunyan and Ma Yunliang.
Ma Yunliang couldn't help but opened his mouth and said, "Is this kid crazy? He dares to scold Xue Dongfeng? But the scolding is really enjoyable. I have long wanted to scold Xue Dongfeng like this!"
"Uncle Ma, if you defeat Xue Dongfeng in the future, I hope you can support Hu Gui." Chu Yunyan was a little skeptical about Hu Gui's actions at first, but now she heard Hu Gui's hearty speech After scolding, all the doubts in my heart disappeared. On the contrary, I developed an infinite fondness for Hu Gui.
Ma Yunliang nodded heavily and said, "This guy is a character, I like him!"
Hu Gui raised his voice and scolded Xue Dongfeng, feeling very happy in his heart. He took a long breath, wiped his mouth, and said to the tombstone of City Lord Chu, "City Lord Chu, Hu Gui knows that it was that bitch Xue Dongfeng who harmed you, so let me scold him for you first." , to vent your anger..."
"Uncle Ma!" Chu Yunyan couldn't help shouting excitedly after hearing Hu Gui's words.
The equestrian also has his eyes shining brightly and his expression is full of excitement!
Xue Dongfeng was the murderer of Chu City Lord. Xue Dongfeng would never spread it everywhere, so how did Hu Gui know? Now that he knows, will he have evidence that Xue Dongfeng killed the Chu City Lord
Even if Hu Gui has no evidence, as long as he is a witness, it will be of great benefit to Chu Yunyan and Ma Yunliang in front of the Venerable Hidden Blade!
Ma Yunliang nodded heavily to Chu Yunyan and spit out four words, "It's very possible!"
"I want to go out and ask Hu Gui face to face!" After hearing Ma Yunliang's words, Chu Yunyan couldn't hold back and stood up.
"Miss, I'd better go, just in case!" Ma Yunliang quickly pulled her back and said cautiously.
Chu Yunyan hummed and said, "Uncle Ma, please be careful! If something goes wrong, run away immediately, and I will leave on my own. When the time comes, we will meet at the cabin!"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine!" After saying this, Ma Yunliang is about to show up... (To be continued)
