"It turned out to be the leader of the water village in the north of the city. Did you and Li Yuguo conspire to frame me?" As he said this, Li Yutang already had murderous intentions.
"Obviously it was you who asked us to take action and promised to give us three hundred taels of silver when the matter was completed. You... why did you turn your back on me?!" Niu Er said.
As soon as these words came out, the people around him started talking about it.
"Could it be true that Mr. Li Yutang kidnapped us?"
"That's not right. Mr. Li is a good man. Why would he attack us like this?"
"In my opinion, Uncle Li Yuguo is more like a good person. He broke into the water village alone. This is a true hero!"
The comments from the people around him also made Li Yutang's forehead veins spread. He raised his gun and stabbed Niu Er: "You are bold and unruly, and you want to slander me?! You are looking for death!"
As he said this, the spear, carrying gusts of cold wind, was already aimed at Niu Er.
Just at this stall, another spear appeared and fired from the sky.
Clang!
There was a crisp sound, and at the same time the spear fell from the sky, blocking Li Yutang's spear.
A shadow fell in the sky. The person who came was none other than Nalan Meng. Nalan Meng was wearing light armor and stood on the handle of the spear. She was proud and independent, like a winter plum in the cold snow. She said: "Sir Captain, the matter has not been investigated clearly, how can you continue to kill!"
"It's obvious that this is Li Yuguo's trap. He colluded with the water bandits and then massacred the people!" Li Yutang said, "Your Majesty, can't you see such an obvious situation?"
"I saw that you wanted to kill someone. You killed those ten thieves in the city lord's palace before, so I was curious about why it happened so coincidental. Now you are here again and want to kill the key witness. This makes this princess have to I wonder if there is any secret hidden behind this matter." Nalan Meng jumped down from the gun.
Nalanmeng had been near the city gate before. He saw that Li Yuguo was very kind to the people. She had already misunderstood Li Huguo once, and she did not want to misunderstand him a second time.
"More importantly, if I want to harm the people, why do I have to arrange work for everyone, and I have to give out money and food, and I also have my maid Jun Xue taken away. Isn't this asking for trouble?" Li Huguo said.
Everyone also looked at Li Yuguo. What Li Yuguo said was impeccable. After all, he was the one who spent the money. There was no need for him to spend money and kill people at the same time. He didn't have to do that at all.
"You are just trying to clear yourself of suspicion... You were framed for the affair before, but this time... you are involved in a murder case!" Li Yutang said, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He knew that if he could not be convicted this time Li Huguo, I am afraid that the princess will also doubt herself next.
At this time, a man walked out next to Li Yutang. This man was none other than Zhang Wei, a martial arts master and Li Yutang’s most trusted subordinate: “If you want to prove yourself, then go find the real murderer and confront him. The villagers also confessed just now that the person who captured Miss Jun Xue was a horse thief!"
"Yes, this person should be Ma Daha from Lingshe Mountain! This horse thief is so abominable. In the past, every harvest day, he would always have people come over to rob our people's harvest." A villager said.
"No, Spirit Snake Mountain is a dangerous place. There are many monsters in this mountain. It is precisely because of these endless monsters that we have been unable to exterminate them. This Ma Daha's cultivation has reached the peak of a martial artist. Now he is far away. The martial artist is only half a step away, and he is very skilled. If you rush over, you will only endanger yourself!" Nalan Meng said.
"Jun Xue is mine, so I will naturally save people! As long as I capture Ma Daha, it will be clear who is the real mastermind behind the scenes!" Li Yuguo said.
Li Yutang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded approvingly to Zhang Wei beside him.
You must know that Lingshe Mountain is one of the few forbidden areas around Nalan City. The mountains here are steep and dangerous. Even Li Yutang dare not go in alone. If a person like Li Yuguo with little cultivation goes in, basically It was a narrow escape.
"No! You're just a maid, you can't take such a big risk!" Nalan Meng immediately shouted.
Li Yuguo turned his back to everyone: "Yes, maybe to you, she is a maid... She is indeed a maid. When I am in the most danger, she is willing to stand up for me, even when she is unable to protect herself. Speaking, I, Li Huguo, believe in the same principle. If others are kind to me, I will return nine points of kindness to others... "
"Don't you even listen to what I say?" Nalan Meng said angrily.
Li Yuguo smiled: "Follow your father at home, and follow your husband when you get married. Logically speaking, you should listen to me. I have given up, so you don't need to say anything more!"
Nalan Meng was stunned by this sentence. In her memory, Li Huguo was a very weak person, but after these few days of experience, she felt that Li Huguo had become a different person. In the past, he went his own way. Now he actually wants to fight for a girl!
"Wait a minute, this is not what the horse thief did." The thief emperor stood up and said holding a withered flower.
"What?!" Everyone looked at the Thief King.
At this time, Zhang Wei said: "Who are you? Why did you decide on your own?!"
"This grass was infected by the poisonous mist and then withered. My fellow villager, let me ask you, can you see what kind of horses those coming here are?" the Thief King said.
The villager held his arm and said, "They are big black horses, very tall... Well, there is also a star cross on the bridge of their nose."
"It's the Black Star Horse." Nalan Meng stepped forward and said, "The Black Star Horse is a very noble horse breed, much more expensive than our yellow gelding. It is said that it can travel eight hundred miles a day, and it is a very rare horse! "
Nalanmeng looked at the Thief Emperor: "May I ask this brother, who are you? I noticed you on the hanging beam in the house before, but because you are my husband's friend, I did not expose you. Who are you?"
Hearing this, Li Yuguo was quiet. It turned out that Nalan Meng had already felt the presence of the Thief Emperor when he was at the house before. Nalan Meng was indeed a strong man at the martial spirit level.
The Thief King took off his hat. When the hood was taken off, everyone saw the cross scar on the Thief King's forehead.
Li Yutang's pupils shrank violently: "Cross Scar... you, you are one of the ten famous emperors in the world, the Thief Emperor!"
The Thief King snorted coldly: "It's just a false name..."
This made Li Yutang sweat profusely. Just at this time, a soldier came from a distance and said: "To the east, a group of twenty horse thieves appeared in the east..."
"Horse thief? Is he really a horse thief?" Li Yuguo was puzzled, what is going on? Could it be that the horse thief sent Jun Xue back
"But, it's just a group of corpses..." After saying this, the minions greeted, and a group of people carried the corpses over. Everyone discovered that the corpses were covered in green smoke!
"They were all poisoned, just as I expected." The Thief King said.
"Laoguan, did you discover something?" Li Yuguo asked the Thief Emperor quickly.
The Thief King said: "Brother, do you still remember what I told you about my wife being injured?"
"Brother?" Nalanmeng was also confused, "Wait a minute, Hugo, when did he become your brother?"
"It's ridiculous. As the governor of Nalan City, you don't know how capable your husband is. He is a benevolent and righteous man. He saved my wife and me when I was in the most critical moment. In order to repay this Favor, so Hugo is my eldest brother, Guan Yunfan!" The Thief Emperor said, as one of the top ten emperors, his words carry considerable weight.
Li Huguo naturally also knew the Huangji Ten Heroes, who were the ten most powerful people in the entire novel world.
It's not that they are strong in combat, but they are very powerful in certain skills.
For example, the Thief King, his strongest point is not his cultivation, his cultivation is just martial arts, the same as Nalan Meng, but his stealing skills are recognized as the best in the world.
