Chapter 173: Sophistry

In an inn in Wuhou County, Jiang Feng and Dugu Shengyi had already prepared wine and food in the upper room, waiting for the summer night and the return of the dream.

"It's back!"

The door opened, and Summer Night and Dream entered together, each seated. Seeing the table full of delicacies on a summer night, he was not polite, took off his veil and took the lead in moving his chopsticks, Jiang Feng and Dugusheng picked up the chopsticks to enjoy the food when they saw this.

On the contrary, the dream was quite weird, and it was clear that he wanted to share the food with the three of them, but he still refused to take off the black veil to hide his face, no matter how Jiang Feng and the three of them persuaded him, he insisted on not eating, and in desperation, Jiang Feng and the three of them also gave up persuasion.

"The two of you came a little later than expected, how about it, have you found out the details of the Yue family?"

Xia Yeyan and Dugu Sheng were both gobbling up, and Yu Meng looked at Jiang Feng and affirmed his question. After they killed the son-in-law and rescued the shopkeeper and his wife, they did investigate the details of the Yue family.

"Preliminary investigation, I have gained very little, I only know that the son-in-law has already entered the Suwang Valley Gate, and his teacher is in the Yue family!"

After a brief description of the dream, Jiang Feng listened carefully and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to secretly drink a glass of water and wine, but was glared back by Xia Ye.

"Looks like we're going to have trouble later!"

Jiang Feng stupidly withdrew his right hand that wanted to steal the wine, sighed, but he didn't know why, and looked at Dugu Shengyi who was drinking happily.

"Isn't it good to drink like this at the age of sixteen?"

As soon as Dugu Sheng was about to raise a small jar of wine to drink, Jiang Feng raised his hand to stop him from showing off. Looking at Jiang Feng's inexplicable eyes, Dugu Sheng gently dusted off his hand and swallowed the wine with his head held high.

"Unlike you, I overthrew all my junior disciples with wine at the age of fifteen, and I became a hegemon among my peers in Extreme Sword Peak!"

"Is it any wonder that the addiction to alcohol is so great?"

Jiang Feng complained angrily, turned his head away, out of sight is clean, otherwise the more he looked, the more he wanted to drink.

On the contrary, when Youmeng heard this, his heart tightened, and he said secretly: "Knock down all the junior brothers? Doesn't he have senior brothers and sisters? Or is he the senior brother! If this is the case, could it be that Dugu Shengyi is really the son of the Extreme Sword Peak Sect Master?"

"Xiaoyou, what are you thinking?"

Jiang Feng had already stopped his chopsticks, unlike Xia Yeyan and Dugu Shengyi's gluttony, he didn't have such a deep love for food, and at this time, seeing that there seemed to be thoughts and doubts in Youmeng's eyes, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"......Ahh I'm just thinking, since Suwang Valley is very likely to be looking for our trouble, is it really good for us to stay here?"

The dodge in Youmeng's eyes made Jiang Feng even more suspicious, but he didn't ask any more, only said, "It's okay! We haven't really made a move for a long time, even if we are defeated, with the strength of the four of us, we can retreat safely!"

Seeing that Xia Yeyan and Dugusheng had no objections, the belligerent factor in Youmeng's body was also hooked by Jiang Feng's words, and he didn't think much about it, and under the veil, a bloodthirsty smile was hidden.

After a stick of incense, Xia Yeyi and Dugu Shengyi also stopped the busy chopsticks in their hands, and cleaned up the rest of the meal, only Dugu Shengyi among the four was still drinking, and his face had already shown a flush, but he still had no intention of stopping.

Jiang Feng frowned, no matter how good the amount of alcohol was, they couldn't be so indulgent, although they had seen Dugu Shengyi drinking before, they had never drunk so much.

"It's over!"

Jiang Feng sighed lightly, drinking like this is the most hurtful to the body, Dugusheng is only sixteen years old, even if he is a monk, his body can't afford to suffer such a practice, so he has to stop it, they are close friends, one of the roles is to deal with this kind of time.

"Wait! Ikuichi doesn't seem to be just drinking......"

Just when Jiang Feng was about to knock out the wine jar in Dugusheng's hand, Xia Yeyan grabbed his hand and seemed to see some clues.

When Jiang Feng heard this, his eyes were full of light, as bright as golden pupils, and he looked at Dugu Sheng for a while, and sure enough, when he saw that he seemed to be using some kind of magic while drinking, he couldn't help but sigh in surprise, and even the always cold dream was staring at it.

The more Dugu Sheng was drinking, the higher his head became, although there was confusion in his eyes, but a strange brilliance was brewing. The three of them watched and one was drinking, and they were secretly speculating, but the chaos on the street interrupted their thoughts, and a group of people, including hundreds of people, were gathering outside the inn, and in the blink of an eye, the inn was surrounded.

"The Yue family, Suwang Valley, here!"

In the lobby of the inn, the first three people all wore a unified identity token around their waists, and the one in the center was Bi Cong, the teacher of Yue Gongzi, and the two on the left and right were about the same age as him, and they were all elders of Suwang Valley. The majestic aura of several people dispersed, shocking the surrounding people, and all unrelated people in the inn immediately dispersed.

"Yue Daoyou, are you really sure that the murderer is in this inn?" Bi Cong was on the right, and his friend Dai Zhen looked at the head of the Yue family and asked suspiciously.

"It won't be wrong!" The head of the Yue family who was sad on the side asserted, "There are only four people who have entered Wuhou County today, and they are all in the inn at this time, and they know from the insiders that they and Wu Xiulin, the young master of Wuhou Mansion, have exchanged opinions on the matter of house slaves, and now that the house slave and Xiao'er died at the same time, they are the most suspicious!"

"The most suspicious? means there's no definite evidence?"

To the left of Bi Cong, another Elder Lu from Suwang Valley glanced at the head of the Yue family and asked rhetorically. Unlike Dai Zhen, who rushed to Bi Cong's rescue after receiving a summons, he did not have a deep friendship with Bi Cong, and this trip was carried on the mission of the sect, in order to find out the exact cause of death of the disciples in the sect and the real murderer.

"Hmph!" Bi Cong snorted coldly and said, "My most beloved disciple was killed in Wuhou County and in front of me, this is a provocation to me, but even more so to Suwang Valley, but the four wandering cultivators, whether they are real murderers or not, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!"

"Acting so recklessly, I am only afraid that the reputation of the sect will be damaged. ”

As soon as Elder Lu retorted, Elder Dai Zhen had already replied: "Brother Lu's words are wrong, the disciples of the sect have been killed, if you don't kill a hundred examples, it will damage the reputation of Suwang Valley!"

"But ......"

Elder Lu wanted to say something, but on the second floor of the inn, the upper room where Jiang Feng and the four of them were already open.

"Yo! It's so lively! What kind of day is it?

Jiang Feng leaned on the railing and looked down, and roughly inspected the people of the Yue family and Suwang Valley, and probably made an inference in his heart.

"Judging from the breath released, the cultivation of the three people in Suwang Valley, who are the leader, should all be around the late stage of the Shenhai Realm, and as for the head of the Yue family, he only has the cultivation of the middle stage of the Shenhai Realm. The rest of the people are not to be feared, but although these four people are not royal monks, if they want to kill the three people of Suwang Valley, unless they sacrifice their lives to fight to the limit, it is unlikely that they will succeed. ”

"You are Jiang Feng?"

The head of the Yue family looked at Jiang Feng upstairs and secretly marveled, he didn't expect the other party to be so young.

"Oh, you've even found out my name, you're moving pretty fast, and why are you here?"

Summer Night Death and Phantom Dream had also come to Jiang Feng's side, looking down at the people below, and a few of them couldn't help but feel the novelty when they saw that the three of them didn't see the slightest panic in the face of the four Divine Sea Realm cultivators.

Seeing that Jiang Feng was dignified and not a treacherous person, Elder Lu said in a calm tone: "Jiang Feng, the old man is Elder Suwanggu, and today my sect's disciple died outside Wuhou County for no reason, do you know?"

"Back to my predecessors, my group of four only entered Wuhou County today, and I don't know the disciples you sent, how can I know?"

Jiang Feng saw that this Elder Lu seemed to be a reasonable person in the governor's position, and his attitude also changed slightly.

"Humph!"

Elder Lu wanted to ask again, but Bi Cong had already interrupted with a cold snort, and the head of the Yue family also glared at Jiang Feng and the three of them.

"Old man Su Wang Gu Elder Bi Cong, the deceased is the old man's beloved apprentice, and he is the little son of the Yue family, there was a corpse of a house slave next to him when he died, and according to investigation, there seems to be a conflict between you!"

"Elder Bi's logic is so peculiar, when did the onlookers become a conflict? Moreover, there were not only Jiang Mou and a few onlookers at that time, if it was really a conflict, the person who clashed with that slave at that time should be Wu Xiulin of Wuhou Mansion! You don't go to inquire about Wu Xiulin, but come to interrogate us, it's too presumptuous!"

"But among the onlookers at that time, there were only a few monks, and you were among them, and according to the shopkeeper, the two women beside you also entered the inn later, and my disciples also died during this time, and they disappeared during this time, how do you explain?"

The murderous intent emanating from Bi Cong's body had already locked on Jiang Feng and the three of them, and the head of the Yue family raised his hand and waved, and the Yue family horses in the inn also began to approach Jiang Feng and the others.

"I see!" Jiang Feng said suddenly, "It turns out that the head of the Yue family and Elder Bi suspect that we and the others are murderers! As women, these two companions of mine have entered such a prosperous situation as Wuhou County, so they naturally like to wander around and buy some ornaments for their daughter's family, what's the matter?

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yeyan and Youmeng lowered their eyebrows and smiled at the same time, looking at Bi Cong, as if they were laughing at him for paying attention to such a woman.

Bi Cong suddenly felt his face gloomy, and the head of the Yue family retorted in a cold voice: "Although the city gate guards have not seen you go out of the city, if you use other methods to mix with the guards and investigate, it is not impossible to go out of the city and commit murder!"

"Boy, what kind of eyes are you in?!"

After the head of the Yue family finished speaking, he suddenly found that Jiang Feng was looking at him with an inexplicable look, as if he was looking at something new, and immediately asked in displeasure.

"The head of the Yue family doesn't have to be nervous, he also looks at the fool with this look!"

Jiang Feng's expression was serious, and he explained to the Yue family master in a serious manner, and then said again before the other party became angry: "Since the Yue family master has personally given the evidence that my two companions have not left the city, how can he still say such a thoughtless inference?"

Looking at the people below, Xia Yeyan also opened her mouth and asked: "In addition, the little woman is still a little curious, why do you not suspect Wu Xiulin at all, but rely on a few vague clues and speculations to hold on to the four wandering monks, and want to give us a trumped-up charge? Oh! I understand! Because you Suwanggu don't dare to go against the Wuhou Mansion at all, even if he really kills your disciple, you have nothing to do, right?"

"Presumptuous!" Dai Zhen and Elder Lu shouted at the same time, "Jiang Feng, you don't have to be clever and sophistry, it's not you who did it, just answer truthfully!"
