Tong Hao raised his head as if struck by lightning, his face pale. Even the most scheming Linglong could see that his appearance was wrong.
Shao Jinming glanced suspiciously at Tong Hao, then at Duan Ping.
After all, Duan Ping and Tong Hao are relatively close.
But Duan Ping is also at a loss right now.
He was feeling sad about Yu Dahong's matter, how did he know why Senior Brother Zhai suddenly named Tong Hao.
"I, I..." Tong Hao opened his mouth, and everyone looked at him sullenly, which made Tong Hao even more flustered.
In fact, the sullen faces of the crowd were not all aimed at him. It was the first time for Huiliushan that Yu Dahong died in front of everyone. Even if someone from the Demonic Way sneaked into Huiliu Mountain last time, some people were injured on the mountain, but no one died.
Yu Dahong's death undoubtedly cast a shadow over everyone's heart.
What's even more hateful is that he didn't die at the hands of others, it was probably killed by Chen Jingzhi.
"I really didn't do anything..."
His voice trembled when he spoke, and his eyes wandered, making him feel guilty just by looking at it.
Linglong stared at him, Tong Hao's legs went limp, and he couldn't stand still: "I didn't kill people, really. I didn't know that Chen Jingzhi would kill people when he came back."
"Are you on the same side as him? Colluding inside and outside to kill the same family?" Linglong was furious immediately, and she reached out to draw her sword.
Zhai Wenhui gently pressed her hand.
"I believe Junior Brother Tong should not be that kind of person. He is really in the same group as Chen Jingzhi, and he must have run away long ago. He won't stay until now."
Tong Hao was on the verge of crying, and when he heard Zhai Wenhui's words, his face was filled with gratitude, and he nodded repeatedly: "What Senior Brother Zhai said is that I will never kill my fellow disciples."
"Then how did you invite senior brother out so coincidentally?"
Tong Hao regretted so much, Zhai Wenhui slowed down his tone and asked again before he could speak out.
"Earlier today, I did meet Chen Jingzhi..."
Linglong raised her eyebrows and was about to explode again, but it was Zhai Wenhui who held her down.
"Where?"
"That's right, it's near the lake in the backyard. I like the quietness there, and I often practice there alone."
"and after?"
"I was surprised when I saw him. He said he came quietly and didn't dare to let others know. He also said that he had no choice but to go down the mountain quietly..."
After all, he used to be from the same sect, and Chen Jingzhi was still a direct disciple that outside disciples like him could not reach. There is also a reason why Tong Hao didn't yell for someone immediately. After Chen Jing went down the mountain, the master didn't declare in the sect that he was a traitor to the master, and all the disciples from the outer sect were also suspicious of the reason why Chen Jingzhi went down the mountain privately.
Since the master didn't say that he was going to be expelled from the sect, and he didn't spread the news to pursue him, maybe, the master also felt that he went down the mountain privately because of something hidden? Now that he is back, maybe the master will punish him a little and take him back under his sect
Tong Hao is not the only one who thinks this way.
"He said that he had no choice but to regret it now. I, I believed it, and told him that the master was not very angry. If he went to ask the master to confess his mistakes, the master might forgive him..."
Linglong scolded him: "Fart! You can believe what this kind of person says!"
Zhai Wenhui advised her: "Let Junior Brother Tong finish the sentence."
Tong Hao could only tremble in front of Linglong: "I, I am confused, I shouldn't have believed his rhetoric."
"What happened later? He asked you to trick the elder brother out?"
Tong Hao nodded.
"He said that he was afraid that the master would be angry and would not forgive him, but the senior brother is generous. If he can plead with the senior senior brother first, and see if he is in the same school, the senior senior brother will help him talk in front of the master. If he wants to come, the master will be fine." Forgive me..."
Seeing Tong Hao frightened like that, Shao Jinming was not very angry with him anymore.
To be honest, Tong Hao's thoughts are also the thoughts shared by many of their disciples. Ask yourself, if you meet Chen Jingzhi and listen to his words, you will be fooled if you don't keep it right. After all, this request sounds reasonable. The master didn't expel Chen Jingzhi, even if they saw Chen Jingzhi and heard him speak so sincerely, who would have thought that he came back to kill people
"He asked me to help find the elder brother. He said that he was afraid that others would feel embarrassed when he saw it, so don't tell others first. So I found a reason to invite the elder brother out to meet him. But I didn't expect..."
Thinking about the fierce battle just now, and looking at Yu Dahong, who was lifeless in front of the corpse, Tong Hao was afraid, hated, and regretted: "I really didn't expect him to have the intention of harming others... Senior Sister , Brothers, I was really deceived by him..."
Zhai Wenhui was silent for a moment, and asked: "When did he kill Junior Brother Yu, do you know?"
Tong Hao waved his hands in a panic: "I don't know, I really don't know. I want to know where I can help him kill his fellow disciples? I really don't know about Junior Brother Yu."
"You didn't hear any noise? He died by the well where the water was fetched, so it shouldn't be too far away."
Tong Hao hurriedly swears and swears, saying that he has no knowledge.
Duan Ping looked at Tong Hao who had scared half his life away, and then at Yu Dahong.
Although he didn't like Tong Hao's usual gloomy and reticent personality, he also felt that Tong Hao was not very courageous, and he couldn't do such a thing.
"I guess... Did Chen Jingzhi meet Junior Brother Yu first?" Duan Ping tentatively said, "Junior Brother Yu said to fetch water, maybe Chen Jingzhi came to him first, and maybe he told Yu the lie just now. Junior Brother, but Junior Brother Yu is a straightforward person, maybe he didn't agree, but wanted to tell everyone about it. That's why Chen Jingzhi killed Junior Brother Yu..."
Zhai Wenhui's guess was the same as Duan Ping's.
Because Yu Dahong didn't show any signs of fighting with anyone, but was injured from behind.
The situation is likely to be as Duan Ping said. The first person Chen Jingzhi might meet was not Tong Hao but Yu Dahong, but he failed to persuade this honest man to work for him, or maybe he was worried that Yu Dahong was too honest, not only would he not be able to do things for him, but instead His whereabouts will be exposed.
After hearing this, others are acceptable, but Tong Hao's expression is even uglier.
What Duan Ping said is 80% possible.
Chen Jingzhi is not cruel and cunning.
Of course it is hateful for me to be deceived by him, but if I am not fooled by him, I will end up like Yu Dahong, who simply kills me to silence me.
Death was so close to him, so close that he might have killed himself in a single thought. Even if one word is wrong, Chen Jingzhi will still be harmed.
"I don't know what happened to the big brother..."
Someone whispered.
This is what worries everyone now.
"Eldest brother's cultivation level is much higher than mine. Even if you can't catch up with others, you can protect yourself." Zhai Wenhui's words gave everyone a reassurance.
That's right, senior brother's skills are incomparable to them, whether it is Chen Jingzhi or the two helpers who helped him escape, if they are senior senior brother's opponents, there is no need to escape.
This worry can be put aside for now.
But there is still a question that makes it difficult for everyone to let go.
Chen Jingzhi rebelled against his family and even killed Yu Dahong. After this incident, no matter what, the master will not tolerate him anymore, and he must be dug out and severely punished.
But he took the risk to sneak in, kill and seduce again, in order to transfer the senior brother away so that he can kill the junior junior brother himself
Didn't I hear that the junior brother had a grudge against him
What is that for
If Chen Jingzhi didn't take the initiative to come to the door, the world is so big and if he hides his name, it would be really difficult for people returning to Liushan to find him. If he has a better place to go, what is he still thinking about returning to Liushan? The main road faces the sky and goes on each side.
Could it be that the little junior brother's life would hinder his business
The reason for this is that they can't guess the result after closing the door. Shao Jinming looked at everyone's faces, and comforted Tong Hao: "Although you did something wrong, it was unintentional after all. Fortunately, the younger brother was not injured. Even if the master will punish you, he should not be serious. "
There are too many things happening today, it is really inappropriate to add another layer of instability at this time.
Tong Hao was somewhat relieved by his words.
Even Duan Ping felt that Tong Tonghao was at fault in this matter, but the fault was not serious. He was also deceived, not on purpose. Besides, today's matter is so hanging, if Tong Hao hadn't been deceived, he might be killed just like Yu Dahong.
Looking at Yu Dahong again, no one would feel better.
He was still so young, and he was fine during the day, with a loud voice, and rushed to do all the chores, and put a steamed bun in his bosom when eating, because he was easy to get hungry, and he was often like this, everyone I have long been used to it.
Zhai Wenhui squatted down, straightened Yu Dahong's hair and clothes, and touched the uneaten steamed bun in his arms, which was already frozen hard.
Everyone looked at the steamed bun and was speechless.
Even though Linglong was usually careless, her eyes were red now. She didn't want to shed tears in front of her juniors, so she turned her head to the side and wiped her face twice heavily with her sleeve.
If there is anything Linglong must do before today, there is only one thing, practice swords, and keep walking along this long-planned path.
But now she has a purpose in her life.
Kill Chen Jingzhi.
No matter how far or how long it takes to find, this wolf-hearted thing must be killed.
There were footsteps outside.
At this moment, everyone is like a frightened bird.
Master and Ji Zhenzhen are not here, and the whereabouts of the senior brother are also missing, everyone is not at ease.
Now when I heard the noise, I was looking forward to the return of my master and senior brother, but also worried that if there was any trouble again, I would come to my door.
Linglong rushed out first, and came in after a while: "Eldest brother is back."
Mo Chen then stepped into the hall door.
"Big brother."
"Eldest brother is back?"
"No injuries?"
"Has the thief caught up?"
Mo Chen shook his head slightly.
Zhai Wenhui thought that it was probably lost after being chased.
It can't be blamed on big brother, they are not familiar with Beifu City, the other party came prepared, and it was such a snowy night.
"He didn't take a life. When I restrained him, he suddenly cut off his heart." (To be continued)
