Chapter 53: The Alliance Leader Returns Home
Night is the best cover, but it is not an eternal refuge.
Feng Lanjun suddenly stopped his rapid pace and looked sideways at the back.
In a moment, with a low laugh, a slightly slender figure walked out of the darkness, behaving casually, without the embarrassment of being discovered, "Little brother's perception is very good." ”
Feng Lanjun didn't say anything, just quietly looked at this person who followed her from now, this person was thirty or forty years old, his expression was peaceful, and there was a quiet aura around him, as if any wind and waves would return to him calmly.
And this middle-aged man who suddenly appeared with him was Ling Qing, who had just returned to the Alliance Lord's Mansion. Coincidentally, he was about to sneak back to the mansion quietly, and happened to see Feng Lanjun coming out of the alliance lord's mansion in the night, if it weren't for his perception being very human, he really wouldn't have found this person, no wonder there were people coming and going freely in the alliance lord's mansion where the five major sects gathered at this time. Anyway, he, the master, should also do his best to be a landlord, so he caught up. It's just that, as he judged, this person's perception is probably also rare, otherwise, how could he feel him.
"Huh," Ling Qing, who came out, looked at the young man he was chasing with some surprise, and kept taking a few steps forward until he was three steps away from Feng Lanjun, and his eyes without any aggression looked at her carefully, and after a pause, he continued with great certainty, "It turned out to be a little girl." ”
Feng Lanjun's expression was slightly condensed, and a trace of deep meaning crossed his indifferent eyes.
For Feng Lanjun's calm performance, a trace of appreciation flashed in Ling Qing's eyes, no wonder she could come and go freely in the Alliance Lord's Mansion, not to mention her strength, just looking at these eyes, they were translucent and waveless, but they seemed to hide thousands of stars. With one step, or one reason, its light must be unmatched.
"Curious?" Feng Lanjun said slowly.
"Not bad. ”
"Curiosity kills cats. ”
"Don't worry, I don't like cats. Ling Qing replied calmly, "Besides, little girl, you're not a cat either." "The implication is, don't worry, you can't die.
But that's not what it means.
Regarding the middle-aged man's distortion of these words, Feng Lanjun did not correct it again, but just looked at him calmly.
"The little girl is indeed very good, it is better to come to my house as a guest, so that I can get to know her. ”
"Your family?" Feng Lanjun looked at the middle-aged man with a normal expression, but the words he said were obviously ambiguous, and asked coldly.
"Well, yes, you've been there anyway. Ling Qing said with a smile.
Feng Lanjun's mind turned slightly, and he asked with certainty, "Martial Arts Alliance Leader-Ling Qing." ”
Looking at the slightly scrutinized look of the person in the dark, Ling Qing's face was as usual, "How is it?"
"It's better to be famous than to meet. ”
"I think it's better to meet than to get acquainted, then, little girl, it's better to stay and participate in the Five Great Sects Conference, this time it should be fun." ”
"Are you sure? If I go, it won't have to be fun. ”
"Naturally, this Jizhong has been quiet for so long, and it should be lively. Ling Qing said with an indifferent expression.
Before Feng Lanjun could answer, Ling Qing suddenly frowned slightly, and Feng Lanjun's gaze swept slightly in the direction of the Alliance Lord's Mansion not far away.
Looking at Feng Lanjun's movements, the smile on Ling Qing's face deepened, "It seems that there are quite a few people who come to the Alliance Lord's Mansion tonight." Little girl, how about it, come with me to see it. ”
"Juntian, my name. ”
"Oh, your name at this time. Ling Qing looked at the trace of firmness revealed in Feng Lanjun's indifferent eyes, paused slightly, and said with a smile, "Okay, Juntian, well, this name is quite good." ”
"In this case, then why not go and watch the play!" Feng Lanjun's tone was slightly frivolous.
"Very good. A glimmer of light flashed under Ling Qing's eyes, and then he took the lead in flying forward, and Feng Lanjun got up almost instantly, no matter how fast Ling Qing was, he always followed not far away. This made Ling Qing feel appreciative again, and at the same time, he couldn't help but guess who this little girl was, but what could be ruled out was that she was not a member of the Five Great Sects.
And for Feng Lanjun, Ling Qing's appearance was an accident. However, since the accident has happened, it is necessary to improvise. She naturally knew Ling Qing's purpose for inviting her to the Alliance Lord's Mansion, but even if she didn't come, he would definitely not let her get out easily, so it would be better to go through this scene openly, and always have more options in the game than outside.
In the dark night, when an exclamation sounded, the dutiful old butler appeared on the scene for the first time.
Speaking of which, this old butler of the Alliance Lord's Mansion is even more mysterious than the current alliance leader, because except for the alliance leader who died in office, no one knows where he came from, only that his surname is Mu, and no one knows his strength, because no one has ever seen him make a move. So this often gives people the illusion that he is just an ordinary old man, just an errand boy in the alliance leader's mansion, perhaps, he himself thinks so.
The butler was the first to sweep the two corpses on the ground, a man and a woman, their clothes were a little untidy, and there was only one wound on the two of them, which was obviously killed by a sword from the front, and the strange thing was that there was not much blood around the wound, only this black sword wound that seemed to be burned.
The wood butler's expression was slightly gloomy, these two people were not from the Alliance Lord's Mansion, so... He looked at the man who had found the two bodies and asked, "What's going on?"
"Butler, the servant was about to go back to the room to rest, passing by here and seeing the shadow next to him was a little strange, and when he walked in, it was actually two corpses. ”
"Have you seen anyone else?"
"No, just some wind. ”
"Butler Mu, what's going on here?" The exclamation just now was not small, and now that the five major leaders were in this alliance lord's mansion, they naturally heard it, so they sent someone to ask what was going on.
Seeing that there were people from the five major sects who sent people one after another, the old housekeeper also knew that this matter could not be concealed.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, it's just..."
"Hey, Seventh Senior Brother!" Fan Yan, who came over in person, saw the male corpse on the ground rushing over, and asked with a sad face, with an obvious question in his voice, "Butler Mu, what's going on, how could my seventh junior brother die here?"
"It's... Investigating... However, Fan Shaoxia, please rest assured, the Alliance Leader's Mansion will definitely give Wu Zong an explanation. ”
"Confess, my seventh junior brother died in this alliance lord's mansion for no apparent reason, how to explain. ”
The wood butler didn't answer Fan Yan's question directly, but changed the topic slightly, "I don't know if this woman is also from the Martial Sect?"
"No, I'm from the Martial Sect. ”
"So is there anyone in the other sects who knows this woman?"
"I don't know. ”
"Not impressed. ”
At this time, the subordinate who was a little stunned before said with some hesitation, "It seems... It seems to be the people of Baihuafang. ”
Baihuafang, everyone was a little surprised when they heard this name, but when they saw the person's expression, they were more convinced of their guess, it was indeed the woman in the Qinglou, and the two people on the ground who were obviously disheveled also happened to explain something.
Fan Yan immediately wanted to refute, but this kind of naked scene, what is the use of refutation, it just makes people look down on him.
"Butler Mu, the top priority, it's important to find the murderer first, I look at this wound, obviously it hasn't been long yet, this person will definitely be in the alliance leader's mansion, shall we investigate it thoroughly first?!"
"It's a must. Wu Shixiong, who had already received the news and hurried quickly, said in a deep voice. His disciple died unknowingly, and he, the head of the family, naturally wanted to seek justice.
The heads of the other four major sects led their disciples one after another.
Although it was not their own people who died, but if something happened in this alliance leader's mansion, and it was also in the alliance leader's mansion where their five major sects gathered, this matter naturally couldn't be easily solved, but it was hard to say whether this person was still in this alliance lord's mansion.
"Then please move to the hall first, and I will personally take someone to investigate it thoroughly. ”
"It's best to have someone from my Martial Sect present," Wu Shixiong said in a deep voice, as if sensing the old butler's slightly frowning brow, and added, "Of course, this is not to say that you don't trust the Alliance Lord's Mansion, but that there is one more guarantee. ”
"Huh. Before the butler could speak, a chuckle came from not far away.
"Who is it?" asked Wu Shixiong with a gloomy face.
"It is estimated that even if someone from the Martial Sect is present, it may not be able to keep this person. The person who came came over with a chuckle on his face, and said in the way Wu Shixiong had just spoken, "Of course, this is not to say that you don't believe in Wu Zong's strength. ”
"It turned out to be the owner of the Eagle Gate. Wu Shixiong gritted his teeth and said.
"It turns out that Master Wu still remembers me, and I'm really lucky to meet that. Murong Ying didn't care at all, Wu Shixiong looked eager to eat him at the moment.
"Hey, Xiaoying. Ah Xin, who had been following Helian An, suddenly saw Murong Ying and ran over excitedly, "You are also here, where is Xiao Tian, where is Xiao Tian?"
"It's Ah Xina, as for Xiao Tian, it will naturally appear when it should appear. ”
Seeing the younger brother of the Xiaoyao Gate Master chatting with the Eagle Gate Master so familiarly, the people in the audience were a little surprised, and more of them were unclear, and they couldn't help but look at Helian An.
Helian An still had a warm expression, but he was slightly speechless in his heart, it turned out that the Xiaoying in Ah Xin's mouth was actually Murong Yingna, the master of the Eagle Gate. At this moment, he felt the gaze coming from all directions, and he just knew.
"I don't know what the Eagle Gate Master meant by before?" Helian changed the subject obviously.
"That's because, if nothing else, the person who killed these two men is the reason why you are calling the conference this time. For Ah Xin's sake, he told him that it was okay.
"The Murong Sect Master has seen that person?" asked the Medicine King Valley Lord Feng Wuxian asked.
"Yes. ”
"Who is it?" Wu Shixiong stared at Murong Ying deadly.
"Why should I tell you? Murong Ying replied with a proud face.
"You..."Wu Shixiong's eyes burst with murderous intent, "This person shouldn't be the Eagle Gate Master himself, otherwise how could the Eagle Gate Master appear in this Alliance Lord's Mansion." ”
"I invited it. A gentle and unassuming voice quickly moved from far to near.
