Chapter 6: The Shadow of Death (2)
Liu Chenxing and Liu Yulong were very surprised, wondering if Zhang Huyuan was okay just now, and he was still talking about what happened in the post station today. Why did you die in a moment?
Liu Chenxing said to the family, "Take me to have a look." Then he said to Liu Yulong: "Yulong, you are waiting for me here." ”
The family took Liu Chenxing to the back of the third right-side room, only to see Zhang Huyuan lying motionless on the ground.
Liu Chenxing looked carefully and found that Zhang Huyuan was not injured, but the yellow physical strength crystal and the red life crystal had been shattered, and he had obviously been hit hard by the rune technique.
Liu Chenxing hurriedly asked everyone: "Who saw what happened just now?" ”
A thin man said: "I got up at night just now, and I heard a sound behind the room, so I walked over and saw that Zhang Huyuan was already lying like this, and there seemed to be a wolf in the distance. ”
"Wolves?" The more Liu Chenxing looked at Zhang Huyuan's appearance, the more strange he felt, and secretly pondered: "Even with Zhang Huyuan's ability, even ten wolves can't help him, even if he is attacked by wolves, it is impossible to break the crystal in the rune master's body." Besides, how can there be wolves in my Liujiabao? Eighty percent of the wolves were summoned beasts. ”
Liu Chenxing took a closer look at the surroundings, there were no footprints left by the wolf, and he was even more convinced that his judgment was right, but he didn't understand why there were no traces of a fight, as if Zhang Huyuan was broken by someone and broke two crystals with a single blow, which was definitely not something that ordinary rune masters could achieve.
Huang Huyuan also rushed to hear the news at this time, and after seeing the broken life crystal of Zhang Huyuan, he said, "Could it be that the wolf brother is here to seek revenge?" ”
As soon as Liu Chenxing heard it, he knew that Huang Huyuan had something to say, but he was afraid of causing a panic in Liujiabao, so he said: "Zhang Huyuan was seriously injured in a vicious battle with people during the day, and now he is injured and died suddenly. How could there be a wolf in my Liujiabao, I'm afraid I'm wrong. ”
He said to Steward Bai again: "You arrange to help Zhang Huyuan collect the body, we will deal with it tomorrow, it's not too early, everyone go and rest." Then he gave Huang Huyuan a look, meaning to let him stay alone.
Liu Chenxing brought Huang Huyuan back to the hall, and in the hall, in addition to Liu Yulong, Mrs. Liu also sat in the hall.
Mrs. Liu asked what was sent.
Liu Chenxing shook his head and didn't speak.
Liu Yulong asked Huang what had happened.
Huang Huyuan said: "Young Castle Master, it seems that the Hu man called Wolf Brother who you stabbed to death during the day is not dead. ”
Liu Yulong felt a lot better when he heard that he hadn't killed him, and asked, "Did you see him?" ”
Huang Huyuan shook his head and said, "I didn't see him, but a family member saw a wolf in Liujiabao, and I think it was the summoned beast of that guy." ”
When Liu Yulong heard this, he said, "That's right, there is indeed a steppe wolf among his summoned beasts. ”
Liu Chenxing muttered: "There are indeed people in Wan Qi Mountain Villa who use the steppe wolf as a summoning beast. Then he asked Huang Huyuan: "Earlier, you said that the physical strength crystals of several of you have been emptied, how much have you recovered now?" ”
Huang Huyuan replied: "At that time, we ate Xiao Huandan, and now we have recovered halfway. ”
Liu Chenxing also felt strange and said, "You said that before at the post station, the Hu who was killed by Xiao'er fought with you for several rounds before winning. ”
Huang Huyuan replied: "That's right, Castle Master, I fought with that person at that time, and it was indeed much stronger than us, and the six of us were all beaten down against him. ”
Liu Chenxing asked again: "If you fight alone with him, how long will you wait?" ”
Huang Huyuan replied: "Two or three rounds can determine the winner or loser, and four or five rounds will definitely kill me." ”
Liu Chenxing thought that the six nurses he had cultivated were all about the same, and the person who could kill Huang Nursing Yuan in four or five rounds must not be the one who killed Zhang Nursing Yuan in one round, and Zhang Nursing Yuan might also provoke a more powerful enemy.
At this time, a family member came in a panic and said a word in Liu Chenxing's ear, and Liu Chenxing's face immediately turned iron-blue.
Seeing that her husband's face had changed, Mrs. Liu immediately asked vigilantly, "What happened?" ”
Liu Chenxing said word by word: "Yin Huyuan is also dead. ”
Hearing this, Liu Yulong was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair.
Liu Chenxing said to the family: "Carry Yin Huyuan to the hall." ”
Several family members quickly carried Yin Huyuan to the hall, and Liu Chenxing stepped forward to take a look and found that Yin Huyuan was the same as Zhang Huyuan, and his physical strength and life crystals had been shattered.
Liu Chenxing thought to himself: "It seems that there are really masters hiding in Liujiabao to kill people." So he asked someone to light all the lights in Liujiabao, and he took Liu Yulong and Mrs. Liu and others to inspect the fort, but they did not find anything unusual.
It is already the third watch in the middle of the night, but the lights in Liujiabao are bright, and it looks like it is on fire from a distance.
Liu Chenxing said: "That's it for tonight, it can be a thief who has come to steal runes, don't turn off the lights tonight, don't walk around alone, and the patrolling family has changed from a group of two to a group of four." Tomorrow I will go to the government office to find a few heads to solve the case. ”
Although Liu Chenxing said this verbally, Mrs. Liu already understood that there was an uninvited guest. He turned back to Liu Yulong and said, "Yulong, if you come to my room, I'll take a look at your injuries." ”
Liu Yulong followed his parents to the main house.
Mrs. Liu immediately took out various pills in the cabinet to fill internal strength, physical strength and vitality for him to take, and asked Liu Yulong to lie down on the bed to recuperate.
The two of them meditated on the ground, and as soon as there was a situation, they immediately released the rune technique.
One night passed, and it was peaceful. At dawn the next day, someone whispered outside the window, "Castle master! Castle Master! ”
Liu Chenxing heard that it was the voice of the white butler, and immediately opened the window and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Steward Bai said, "Castle Master, Steward Xue and the eight of them who didn't come back yesterday are all back now. You might as well see for yourself. ”
Liu Yulong slept on the bed and heard the conversation between his father and the white housekeeper, and heard that yesterday's people had returned, so a carp sat up, hurriedly put on his clothes, pants, shoes and socks and went out of the room with Liu Chenxing and his wife.
When I came to the gate of Liujiabao, I saw six yellow-maned horses standing at the door, carrying the corpses of eight people on their backs.
Liu Chenxing hurriedly asked someone to put down all the people on the horse, and lay on the ground to see that it was Steward Xue, Fan Huyuan and other eight people. It's all because the Life Crystal was shattered and died.
Liu Yulong hurriedly asked, "Dad, who did this?" They were sent back from the inn. ”
Liu Chenxing didn't know what was going on, and he thought in his heart: "The post station where the incident happened will take more than an hour to get the horse whip from here, and it will take more than three hours to bring the pack back with a horse." Who went to such great lengths to get people back? Could it be that this is a good deed that wants to turn the war with Liujiabao into a jade silk? ”
At this time, I saw a man wearing a blue cloth hat running back from the gate, his face was very frightened, and he said in a trembling voice: "Fort...... Oh no, Lord, dead again. ”
Liu Chenxing said: "Who died." ”
Jia Ding said: "The little one went out to buy fragrant wax paper, and as soon as he went out, he saw a person lying on the ground in front of him. In the past, I saw that the clothes we wore were from our Liujiapu. ”
