Maybe it was because the Zhu family’s daily food, clothing and other expenses were so luxurious, so the people at the scene didn’t think there was anything wrong with Zhu Yanyin’s posture. Not to mention sitting on a larger chair, even if he wanted to lie sideways on the table, that could be discussed.
Liu Xiyang was still talking about what happened after he met the woman.
"She asked us to call her Aunt Hui, and she didn't show any abnormality at first."
No matter how you look at her, she is just an ordinary peasant woman. She even takes care of the four people's daily life. She is very attentive and considerate. Liu Xiyang got a good piece of jade, so he would inevitably go over to chat a little more, trying to find out what other good things she has at home. It was normal at the beginning, but later on, the topic gradually turned to other things.
Wan Zhuyun asked carefully: "Which aspects?"
Liu Xiyang replied: "It's all related to the Northeast."
The woman first said that her husband dug out the good stuff from a tomb in the north, then said it was from the northeast, and then she mentioned the Snow City where the Burning Fire Palace was located. The other four people were naturally surprised when they heard the name of the Demon Sect. They thought that Chi Tian was a murderer, and the entire Snow City had long been desolate and dilapidated, and there was almost no living animal to be seen. How could anyone be willing to break in
Zhu Yanyin wanted to sit up a little, but the chair was too soft and made a creaking sound when he moved. The noise was too loud, so he didn't dare to move anymore. He continued to lie half-lying in a posture as if he was about to fall asleep, and he was just short of covering his legs with a blanket.
Li Suiguo was laughing again as expected. After laughing enough, he was kind enough to pull him up a little.
Chair: Creaky—
Zhu Yanyin immediately froze in embarrassment, but when he looked around, no one was looking in his direction. After all, Liu Xiyang had already mentioned the relationship between the woman and the Burning Fire Palace, and the situation sounded extremely tense.
"Because she kept mentioning the Snow City in the Northeast, and said there were a lot of treasures buried underground there, and it was rich enough to rival a country, we began to feel that something was wrong."
But suspicion is only suspicion. To prove the woman's identity, they still need to find substantial evidence. So the four of them came up with a plan. They decided that whenever she mentioned the Demon Sect, they would follow her lead and try their best to make themselves look lazy and greedy for money, not caring about the right path or the wrong path, and only wanting to pursue wealth and glory.
Zhu Yanyin thought, then maybe you don’t have to act, after all, you can even cheat money and kill your companions.
He turned his head to look at Tan Shuqiu, only to find that he was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and Young Master Tan grinned. He was finally not afraid anymore, because his identity had changed from a murder suspect to a victim, so he even straightened his back. He was really arrogant when nothing happened, but immediately became timid when something happened.
The arrogant Tan Shuqiu was quick-witted and was eager to squeeze in to stand next to Zhu Yanyin.
Li Sui's eyes were cold.
Tan Shuqiu quickly retracted his outstretched foot.
Zhu Yanyin: “…”
Liu Xiyang continued, "Because the four of us worked well together, she quickly revealed her true purpose. She actually wanted to win us over to join the Burning Fire Palace and become Chi Tian's spies in the Wulin Alliance."
"At that time, Brother Zhao pretended not to believe it and tried to coax more evidence out of her. She then took out many gems and banknotes. One Clear Sky Ice Pearl alone is hard to find in the world and is worth a million gold."
Although Zhu Yanyin was born in a wealthy family, he had never heard of such a thing as the Clear Sky Ice Pearl, so he couldn't help but feel curious.
The next moment, a crystal clear golden gem was handed to him. It was cut into a hexagonal shape, just like the light reflected by an iceberg under the warm sun in the clear sky.
"… "
Li Sui said calmly: "There are plenty of these things in Wanren Palace."
There are some in the Burning Fire Hall and the Wanren Palace. Zhu Yanyin thought that they were probably given by the master to his two disciples. He did not refuse and took them obediently: "Thank you."
The surrounding martial arts sects watched, envious and wanting it.
After the woman took out a large amount of property, the four believed her identity. According to Liu Xiyang, everyone was very happy at the time. They felt that although they had not yet caught Chi Tian, it would be a great achievement if they could capture one of his men first. So they discussed using drugs to knock the woman unconscious and take her back to the Wulin League.
That day, the five people arrived at Wanjing City.
Liu Xiyang said: "We decided to start right here."
Cui Wei's old habit of lust had not changed. He had not even been in the city for half a day when he fell in love with Qiu Fang'er. He was always domineering and would never take a street performer with no background seriously. He first blocked her in the alley and teased her for a while. When he saw her running away, he laughed and said to Liu Xiyang, "Wait and see how I deal with her tonight."
Liu Xiyang didn't take this to heart, or to be more precise, he didn't take it to heart at all. After dinner, when he saw Cui Wei was missing, he didn't look for him, and continued to discuss the action plan for the next day with Zhao Honghu and Ge Changye - it was nothing more than drugging him, tying him up and taking him away, which could be done in three sentences.
After the three of them finished talking, they were about to rest when Aunt Hui knocked on the door, bringing them midnight snacks and wine. She said that she had been traveling for several days and had not eaten anything good, so she had specially cooked some chicken, duck, fish and meat.
Liu Xiyang said: "She used to cook often before. We were afraid that if we refused rashly it would alert her, so we sat down and ate."
Unexpectedly, not long after they finished eating, Zhao Honghu and Ge Changye were poisoned and fell to the ground, dying with painful expressions. Liu Xiyang realized that something had changed and wanted to take the initiative, but before he could unsheathe his sword, he was hit in the chest and couldn't get up for a long time.
The woman tore off her usual gentle and simple appearance, and seemed to have completely changed into a different person. She sat on the chair with her legs crossed, sneering and mocking, "You guys are just a bunch of losers, and you think you can drug me? Since you don't know what's good for you, you'll only end up dead. Don't worry, when Cui comes back, I'll send him to hell as soon as possible."
Zhao Honghu was unwilling to see his plan exposed, so he struggled and said, "Bah, Brother Cui won't come back. He has already seen through your conspiracy and went to the Wulin Alliance for help!"
Liu Xiyang said: "After she heard it, she left the house. Not long after, Brother Cui was also caught and brought back, covered in blood."
Zhao Honghu and Ge Changye were already dying, but they had not yet died. The woman thought they were in the way, so she used a rope to kill them one by one. Liu Xiyang was acupunctured at the time, and Cui Wei was so scared that he only repeated that he was willing to join the Demon Sect and would not say anything else. Even after the woman asked three times, he still could not answer where the sect's silver vault was hidden.
After a long while, Cui Wei finally woke up from his dream and shouted: "In Yanghe River! In the Baihua Valley by the river!"
Liu Xiyang said, "Brother Cui made up a random place, but who knew that woman had already found out where Zishan's silver vault was. I asked this question unnecessarily, just to test whether Brother Cui could really be of use to her."
The surrounding martial arts sects were all furious. Such cruelty and cold-bloodedness were completely inhumane. As for the Zishan Sect, they were in a state of panic in addition to their anger. Why did they want to find out where the silver vault was? Could it be that their sect was the next target of the Burning Fire Palace after the Money Gang
Liu Xiyang's voice was hoarse. "I saw Brother Cui being killed by her, and I thought I would be the next one, but she didn't do anything. Instead, she untied my acupuncture points and said that as long as I wrote down the formula of Liuyun Sword Technique, I would not die. I had no other choice at the time, so I pretended to agree, and that's how I saved my life and was taken to that brothel."
The cause and effect of the matter had been explained more or less clearly. Although the three sects had lost disciples, Cui Wei and his two companions would rather die than join the evil sect. At least they had not disgraced the righteousness of the right path. The mistakes made by the previous ones due to their pursuit of pleasure could also be forgiven. Even Tan Shan said he would no longer care about it.
Wan Zhuyun comforted him: "Young Master Liu, go down and rest first."
Liu Xiyang was helped to stand up by his disciples. He looked like he had something to say, but after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't open his mouth. Zhu Yanyin looked at his back, and was also curious, not understanding what the half-finished words were.
Li Sui withdrew his gaze, as if he was thinking about something.
The local county magistrate Ma Bao had been extremely worried these days, fearing that the gangsters would cause trouble. Now that he heard that the case had been solved, he was ecstatic. He immediately selected a good grave outside the city and asked a suona band to bury the three knights. Then he went to Shannan Inn in person, with an expression on his face that said "I can't wait to get rid of these annoying people."
However, Wulin League did not plan to stay any longer. Early in the morning of the third day, everyone left Wanjing City and continued to head north.
The Zhu Mansion's convoy was the last this time, because the second young master Zhu stayed in bed a little longer in the morning. After he finally got dressed and went downstairs, the only disciples from Wanren Palace who had not left were left in the city.
good.
Perfect companionship.
The team in the front was the Zishan Sect and the Hongyun Clan, as well as several other larger sects. After going around a few bends in the mountain, one of the people looked into the distance and asked in confusion, "Is that the Zhu Mansion's convoy? I remember they left the city the latest, so why did they get ahead of us?"
"Tsk, it looks like it."
"I didn't notice it. I'm afraid I passed it at some point."
"Yeah?"
After a few words were exchanged, someone noticed something was wrong: "The convoy is heading west, not the same route as us."
After walking for a while, the two teams were getting closer and closer. Now the martial arts sects could see more clearly that the team in front was just like the team of the Jiangnan Zhu Mansion, but it was different. Although the horses pulling the carriages were all white, none of them were Zhaoye Jade Lions. They were all replaced by Baisha Snow Shadows, which was even rarer. The clothes of the accompanying servants and guards, the style of the carriages, and even the smoked wood fragrance floating in the air were slightly different. If you have to find similarities, it may only be the luxury of the two teams, which are equally dazzling and amazing.
How rich must the family be to be able to compare the food, clothing and other expenses with those of the Zhu family in Jiangnan
Everyone thought to themselves and couldn't help but glance to the side.
The convoy just happened to stop, and a servant helped a man out from the carriage. He looked to be about twenty years old, dressed in sky-blue brocade clothes, holding a jade fan, and looking dashing and elegant. I wonder whose nobleman he was.
The nobleman caught a glimpse of the group of gangsters next door and immediately took two steps to the right: Ah, how disgusting.
“Gee!” Zhu Yanyin rode his Kicking Snow Black Horse all the way to the front and shouted in surprise, “Cousin!”
Cousin
The surrounding group of martial artists suddenly realized.
No wonder.
After all this time, it turns out that the only ones who can defeat the Jiangnan prominent family are the Jiangnan prominent family themselves!
