Wen Chenggong's face was slightly stunned, and then he let out a long sigh.

"This guest, why should you bother, chewing words will not do you any good, and knowing more will hurt you. Wen Chenggong slowly turned around and looked at Dongfang Shuo and said.

Dongfang Shuo, on the other hand, shook his head, even though Wen Chenggong couldn't see it.

At the same time, he said: "It is human nature to always be curious in the face of all unknowns. I just want to find out the real cause of a person's death, that's all. ”

"Some things, even if you don't say them, you hear them in your ears and remember them in your heart, it's a sin. ”

Wen Chenggong shook his head and said.

Obviously, he also understands how sinister it is that he has something unknown in his hands.

Dongfang Shuo said: "But now, I want you to be able to say it, only then can I protect you, right?"

And Wen Chenggong smiled bitterly: "If someone wanted to kill me, they would have killed me a long time ago, so why wait until today?"

"In the past, they didn't kill because they didn't think that anyone would believe the words of a blind man, but now, I have come to you on my own initiative, and this is enough to make them wary. When he said this, Dongfang Shuo had already quietly approached Wen Chenggong.

At this moment, the distance between the two is less than a zhang.

"No, nothing. The old man shook his head, "The truth of that incident has already been made public, and all I know is some trivial things about chickens and dogs. Now that I have lost my food because of this, don't come and cause me to lose my life again. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Chenggong raised his hand and waved, signaling that Dongfang Shuo could go back.

Then he turned around on crutches and walked in the direction of the house.

Dongfang Shuo stared at it, and then sighed.

"In this way, the person behind it is the one who can manipulate the power of the City Lord's Mansion, and is still in a high position to this day. Dongfang Shuo judged so, and then suddenly thought of something, and then continued, "Now I seem to understand a little, they sent someone to kill you today because they don't want the truth to be revealed to the world. I think Su Jingsheng should have been framed back then, just a scapegoat, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the old man's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Although he is old, he has not experienced the world for ten years, and the sophistication of his life has also become unfamiliar during this time, and there is naturally some overreaction at this moment.

And seeing Wen Chenggong's footsteps, the corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth were hooked.

"It seems that this is the truth. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

Whoosh!

At this moment, two sounds of breaking the air came from behind Dongfang Shuo, outside the fence gate. It's the sound of the arrows of arrows tearing through the air.

And whether it is from the sound or the air waves, it shows that this is definitely not an ordinary arrow.

Airplanes!

Dongfang Shuo raised his hand, and the spiritual power of his fingertips flowed rapidly, and when it split into two, it quickly poured out, and before the two arrows hit the target, they quickly turned around and swept towards their source.

Of course, Dongfang Shuo also knew very well that the two arrows that were returned could only serve as a deterrent and could not kill the archers, after all, the distance was there.

So, he said in a deep voice: "Ah whale, do it." Remember, stay ......"

Whew.

Before he finished speaking, after a commotion in the distance, Ah Whale jumped down from the treetops with a corpse in his hand, according to the direction, this was obviously the guy who shot the arrow just now.

“...... Live ......"

After Dongfang Shuo said the two words that he hadn't finished, he looked at Ah Whale who was walking on foot, and couldn't help but have black lines on his head, and immediately raised his forehead.

This Ah Whale is not at a loss that he has stayed in the second vein king for 1,200 years, and has already broken through the power of the refining period, so he really starts to move faster than Dongfang Shuo can speak.

But now that the person has been killed, Dongfang Shuo can only find another way if he wants to trace the source.

"What happened?"

At this time, the old man in front of him showed a little panic on his face, and turned to Dongfang Shuo again.

Dongfang Shuo turned his head to look at him, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "I'll kill you, but it's okay." ”

At this time, looking at the old man in front of him, he saw a trace of paleness from the old man's face.

In this way, he was really scared.

But that's fine, if you can be frightened, it means that there is still room for negotiation with him.

"Tiger Cliff Mountain, Tiger Cliff Sect. ”

The old man suddenly showed a wry smile, "Sure enough, is he really going to kill me?"

As the words fell, his hand holding the crutches loosened slightly, and the crutches fell off and his body staggered, almost falling to the ground.

Fortunately, Dongfang Shuo stepped forward to help him and helped him regain his grip on his crutches, so that he could regain his footing.

"Old Man Wen, you just said Tiger Cliff Sect, what is that?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

After Wen Chenggong let out a long sigh, he said, "That is a force that has emerged in this area over the years, but they rarely appear in the field of vision of ordinary people, because they only follow one person's orders. ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo immediately squinted, and seemed to understand something in his heart.

"That person is the one behind the scenes, right?" Dongfang Shuo asked.

Wen Chenggong was silent for a breath before he spoke: "There are some words that don't need to be asked so clearly. As the words fell, he turned and walked into the house, "Come with me, sit and talk." ”

Seeing this, Dongfang Shuo glanced back at Ah Whale, who had already walked outside the fence door, and then followed him into the house.

After entering the house and sitting down, the old man took out a withered yellow cloth from his body, which had obviously been some years.

"What is this?"

Looking at the cloth, Dongfang Shuo looked puzzled.

Wen Chenggong did not answer immediately, but spread the cloth on the table in front of Dongfang Shuo.

The cloth was full of words.

However, it is not the ink that makes up these words, but the bloodstains, but because of the age, the blood stains have long since dried up and blackened, and they look like ink.

And I don't know if it's because of a coincidence, or because Wen Chenggong really has such a means, this flat blood letter is facing Dongfang Shuo.

"The suicide note left by the old city lord. Wen Chenggong said.

Dongfang Shuo looked down at the blood letter, and after thinking about it, he frowned again.

He said: "I heard that the old city lord was first an ordinary minor illness, and then suddenly his illness worsened, and he couldn't afford to get sick. How could the old city lord, who was very weak in bed, be able to write such vigorous and powerful handwriting?"

Wen Chenggong smiled bitterly: "You asked me to tell the truth, but when I wanted to tell the story of the year step by step, you questioned me?"

"But this matter is indeed too strange, and I hope that Mr. Wen will forgive me and answer my questions. ”

At this time, Dongfang Shuo's tone was also a little respectful.

When Old Man Wen heard this, he let out a long sigh and said, "That's it." This suicide note was not written after the old city lord fell ill, but was written before the onset of the disease, just the day before the onset of the disease. ”

"It's not surprising to be old enough to write a suicide note. But why did he fall seriously ill the day after he wrote his suicide note, as if he knew something would happen the next day?"

That's right, he knew that something was going to happen to him the next day. ”

"How do you know?"

"I don't know. ”

"I don't know, so how do you know he does?"

"He told me personally, but when I asked, he didn't say anything. ”

"Did he ever have any hidden ailments?"

"No, he has a safe life, but he will not die well in the end. ”

At this point, the old man also sighed, and it seemed that he still felt a lot of emotion when he thought about it after ten years.

And Dongfang Shuo also stopped asking, and finally looked at the blood letter spread out on the table.

The handwriting on it is correct, and there is also a bit of calligraphy style.

But as he read the contents little by little, his eyes widened a little bit, and his eyes gradually showed a little surprise.

"My son is like a meeting...... If Yang Yetian wants to take the throne, he should give it up, and he can't give up. Dongfang Shuo read out the two sentences in the middle of the blood book, looked up and asked, "Who is Yang Yetian, and what does this sentence mean?"

"Yang Yetian is Yang Dongsheng's father, and it was Yang Yetian who sent the old city lord away with me back then. ”

Wen Chenggong said.

Dongfang Shuo remembered that in the old city lord's room back then, in addition to the old city lord himself and Su Jingsheng, who was in charge of healing him, there were two other people.

One, is Wen Chenggong.

The other is Yang Dongsheng's father.

"The Yang family has received the favor of the City Lord's Mansion, why does Yang Yetian want to take the foundation of the City Lord's family, isn't this revenge?" Dongfang Shuo wondered.

Listening to his words, Wen Chenggong suddenly laughed.

After laughing, Wen Chenggong said: "What kind of kindness is just some trivial things, it is the people in the city who spread the rumors that finally passed that little favor into a great kindness, and then the Yang family was forced to serve the city lord's mansion." ”

Dongfang Shuo was stunned.

"What?

"It's not the facts that matter, it's the people who like to hear and what they want to see. Wen Chenggong smiled bitterly, "If the Yang family entered the City Lord's Mansion to lure wolves into the house, then the Yang family was also forced to become a tiger wolf." ”

"Then in that case, why did the old city lord want the young city lord to take the initiative to let Xian?"

"It's not that you take the initiative to let Xian, there is a premise for letting Xian, that is, Yang Yetian wants to take Weicheng City, if Yang Yetian doesn't want it, then this city lord is still the old city lord's family. ”

His words made Dongfang Shuo fall into deep thought.

After staring at the blood book and thinking silently for a long time, Dongfang Shuo finally looked up at Wen Chenggong again.

Dongfang Shuo asked: "So that means that the young city lord doesn't want to follow the old city lord's suicide note, so he planned everything ten years ago? But this is not right, the young city lord died two months ago, who sent the person who came to kill you today?"

The old man suddenly laughed when he heard such an analysis.

This kind of analysis is also the first to go. The old man said, "However, you have neglected one thing. ”
