Dense figures approached the merchant ship that was on fire by the river.

"It's King Nanyong's subordinates!" Nangong Baishi said bitterly.

Watching merchant ships being burned to the ground, La Mangisa was extremely ugly.

"Shadow Hunting Island...... Wu Ren, let's see. ”

Subsequently, Ramangisa, Nangong Baishi and Danwei walked away, looking unwilling.

Knowing the river.

The fires continued, one boat after another, and the sky over the entire wharf was printed red, and the waves on the Zhihe River stirred up, extinguishing the flames at the stern of the merchant ships from time to time. The next moment, the waves of fire rose again, and bags of powder were instantly submerged in the fire. Then, thick black smoke floated up, and the Zhihe River was like a battlefield after the battle, and the smoke was filled with gunpowder, which could not be dispersed for a long time.

By the river, a group of Nanyong warriors wearing armor lined up neatly, holding torches in their hands, motionless.

"The soldiers obeyed the order and burned all the merchant ships, and the ships were full of poison that brought disaster to the country and the people. ”

A middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, tall, and his heavy armor "ho ho" sounded. He looked at the merchant ships on the Zhihe River that were burned by the fire, and his face was excited.

Then, Wu Ren walked up from behind him and bowed.

"General Xu, you should believe it now, right?" Wu Ren said.

The general who led the team was Xu Shihuan, a famous general under King Nanyong. Xu Shihuan is jealous and hateful, and has always hated the West for poisoning the Yongkang warriors with powder and shaking the foundation of the empire.

Two days ago, Wu Ren secretly inspected and learned that Nangong Baishi had colluded with cultivators from the Western Continent in an attempt to transport a large amount of powder into Lingcheng. Subsequently, Wu Ren forcibly broke into Xu Shihuan's mansion and informed him of the incident. Xu Shihuan not only did not blame Wu Ren, but sent troops to cooperate with the investigation, and this time, he found dozens of merchant ships docked at the dock outside the city.

On the other hand, Wu Ren has always been suspicious of the three of Dianwei, Jiuwei, and Danwei. When he arrived at Zhihe, he knew that there must be something wrong with the three of them.

"Report!"

A warrior shouted.

"Say!" Xu Shihuan shouted.

"General, my subordinates just observed that someone fell into the water on the Zhihe River, and judging from the body shape and clothing, it is preliminarily confirmed that that person is consistent with what the general said. But...... He's dead!"

"What!"

As soon as the warrior finished speaking, Wu Ren immediately shouted. He expected that Li Bai was proficient in butterfly steps, and it should not be difficult to escape the pursuit of Nangong Baishi and others.

"This warrior, can you tell us more about what you just saw?" asked Wu Ren.

The man cast an inquiring glance at Xu Shihuan.

Xu Shihuan nodded and said, "Brother Wu Ren is not an outsider, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"Yes! This is the case, someone was chasing a cultivator in a robe just now. The cultivator jumped onto the Zhihe River at once, and it was in the air, and a sword pierced directly through his body. Then, he fell into the Zhihe River. Then, the man who took out the sword picked up his body from Zhihe and took it away!"

The warrior who replied was an ordinary scout soldier. The "robe cultivator" he spoke of was actually the old guard. As for the "man who came out of the sword", it was Danwei. At the critical moment, Li Bai used the cloud to transform into a butterfly, so he didn't see how Li Bai escaped.

Wu Ren had never seen Li Bai make a sword, and if the sword was not Li Bai's, it must be the old guard or Danwei's. He suddenly thought that Li Bai was really dead, and the whole person was angry. Then, he calmed down, felt deeply guilty, and turned away silently.

"General Shi, I'll leave the matter of the powder to you. Lin Zibai's revenge, I will personally avenge it. ”

Then, Wu Ren's figure flickered and disappeared immediately.

Xu Shihuan also sighed, and then said loudly: "Lin Zibai Warrior, in order to prevent Lingcheng from suffering from the scourge of powder, he was brutally poisoned, and his body fell into the hands of the enemy. The order went down, buried Lin Zibai, and set up a mound of clothes. Inform the whole city, and anyone who provides information about the murderer will be rewarded heavily!"

The next day, Lingcheng spread the news about the powder: Lin Zibai, a warrior of Lingcheng, fought with the villains in order to prevent the powder from entering Lingcheng, and unfortunately died in battle.

There are bounty information posted everywhere in Lingcheng City, and as long as someone provides information, the bounty will be 1,000 taels.

Early in the morning, there was a crowd of people in front of the notice.

"Have you heard, last night the merchant ship carrying flour on the Zhihe River was burned...... a citizen in Lingcheng said.

"I heard it! I heard that it was Lin Zibai Warrior who did it...... It's a pity...... Finally ......"

"Shhhhhh......h

Soon, all kinds of news spread. Lin Zibai's heroic deeds spread throughout Lingcheng for a while.

Ridge City.

A "closed" sign was hung in front of the Fengyue Inn. Wu Ren asked the sect to change the deacon. Before there was no new person in charge of the Guanyi Gate, the Fengyue Inn had to be temporarily closed.

Wu Ren, as a person from Shadow Hunter Island, has been active between the Yongkang Empire and the Bano Alliance for many years, and then joined the Guanyi Sect. On the one hand, Wu Ren completed the task of the killer sent by Shadow Hunting Island, and on the other hand, Wu Ren served as the deacon of the Lingcheng stronghold.

When he participated in the Realm Breaking Trial in his early years, Wu Ren had already reached the Broken Mirror, but he had not returned to the Realm Breaking Trial, so few people knew his strength.

In order to bring disaster to Yongkang, Ramangiza has long hit the idea of powder. Half a year ago, Wu Ren sabotaged his plan. After the two fought, Ramangisa learned that Wu Ren's strength had reached the level of three stars in the Xiao Zhou Heavenly Realm.

In order to retrieve Li Bai's body, Wu Ren came to the dock of Zhihe again.

A handful of bamboo chopsticks were thrown, and Wu Ren immediately formed a magic circle, and the magic circle flashed, as if it was probing something.

"Judging from the traces of the fight by the Zhihe River that day, Ramangisa was also there, and there were traces of his aura fluctuations. It seems that Lin Zibai may have been murdered. ”

Wu Ren probed the traces of the fight on the edge of the Zhihe River, trying his best to find more clues to judge the situation at that time.

"Strange, who is the trace of aura fluctuation on the Zhihe River? Could it be Nangong Baishi? No, his aura is not so strong!"

Looking at the slightest light in the bamboo chopsticks array, Wu Ren was puzzled. It seems that on that day, Nangong Baishi swallowed the Gathering Spirit Pill, and Li Baishi exhibited the Stepping Cloud Transformation Butterfly, which were all unexpected by Wu Ren, so it was difficult to judge the specific situation at that time just through the traces of aura fluctuations at that time.

......

Knowing the river.

A large boat was moving along the Zhihe River, and dozens of uniformed warriors stood on board, heavily guarded.

"Miss, you wait......"

Suddenly, a richly dressed woman stepped out of the cabin, holding a jade flute in her hand.

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

The woman held the flute horizontally, her lips lightly pressed against the jade flute, and the flute sound sounded immediately.

"Ah!!" the little maid on the side suddenly shouted, "Miss, don't blow it!

"European ...... European ......"

Suddenly, a few gulls flew over the river, and they cried out in a hoarse voice, as if echoing what the little maid said.

"Poof...... Haha......"

The little maid couldn't help laughing at once, and the whole person leaned forward and backwards while holding her stomach.

"Haha...... Miss, listen...... Ha...... The birds are laughing......"

"Xiaoguo, if you laugh again, I'll throw you into the river!"

The woman scolded loudly, feigning to be angry.

The guard in charge of standing guard couldn't help but twitch twice on his face, but he immediately held back a smile.

"Miss Ben doesn't believe it, a broken flute, I still ......"

"Look, there's someone!"

The maid Xiaoguo saw a person floating on the river, shouting loudly, her face full of anxiety.

"Quick, save him, get him up first......"

The maid shouted for the guards to scoop up the people from the river.

Soon, one of the guards jumped into the river, tied the drowning man with a rope, and slowly pulled him up.

With a "plop", the man was placed on the deck, but still unconscious.

After rescuing the person on the boat, the young lady fiddled with the jade flute in her hand, looked at the man, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"How is he?"

The young lady suddenly exclaimed.
