Chapter 59: Leave it to me
He followed Yakumo Ling all the way out of Hidden Moon City, and finally arrived at an ordinary small village.
The village is surrounded by large farms with simple houses built in between, and it seems that it is the settlement of some peasant households.
When An Xu arrived in this village, he was so shocked by what he saw before him that he was speechless.
The small wooden houses burned in ruins, the blood all over the ground, and the corpses lying all over the village, it seemed that they were all villagers of the village, and it was obvious that there had been a terrible massacre here.
Even Yayun Ling and Yun Feng stared at this scene blankly, unable to believe their eyes.
The soldiers who arrived in advance were cleaning up the scene, and a middle-aged man who looked like a sheriff was directing around, and when he saw An Xu and his party, he immediately greeted him.
"Who? This place has been cordoned off, so please get out of here. ”
Yun Feng walked up and said a few words in front of him, probably to show him the identity of the Yayun family, the sheriff immediately changed his face, and trotted all the way to Yayun Ling.
Ling ...... Miss Ling, why did you come here in person? A lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he didn't expect the eldest lady of the Yayun family to ask in person.
Although this place is not under the jurisdiction of the Yakumo family, everyone understands that the person in front of him has the qualifications to take over.
It's not a good thing that such a thing has happened within the scope of his policing administration.
"Don't say it's useless, report what you find!" Yakumo Ling's voice was cold, and the hellish scene in front of her completely angered her.
"Yes! Be! We had just arrived, and the murderer had already left when we arrived, and the valuable items in the village were all there, not like we had encountered a wandering bandit. And the wounds of these corpses are very horrible, as if they were caused by the same giant weapon......" The sheriff hurriedly told the information he had.
"Miss, come and see!" Yun Feng squatted next to a corpse and said loudly.
Yayun Ling strode over, only to see Yun Feng pointing to the wound on it and said, "This is caused by the giant axe, the murderer is the same person, and there are footprints left by him here-"
"There is only one murderer?" The sheriff was shocked and said, "Could it be that the wanted killer organization 'Shinye' did it?" ”
"Impossible!" An Xu said decisively, only he knew why the people of 'Xinye' were assassinating everywhere. That was cleaning up the forces of the undead clan, how could it be possible to attack innocent ordinary people.
Everyone looked at An Xu together, wondering why he reacted so much.
An Xu came back to his senses and quickly explained: "No, I mean, these footprints are obviously not left by humans, you see, this is several times larger than the footprints of ordinary people." ”
Yayun Ling and Yun Feng checked for a while and glanced at each other, as if they already knew something.
"Do you already know who the killer is?" An Xu hurriedly asked out loud, this kind of guy who has lost his conscience, he wishes he could bring him to justice as soon as possible
Yun Feng said in a deep voice: "Do you remember the barbarian who ran away last time?" ”
"You mean, it's him-" An Xu froze, standing stupidly in place, not knowing what he was thinking, but at this time, no one bothered to leave a message on his expression.
"Well, I've been sending people to keep an eye on clues these days, so as soon as I heard the news here, I rushed over, and sure enough, something went wrong, and it was a mistake to let his guy slip away, and when he was caught, he must be made to pay!" Yakumo Ling pinched the staff in his hand hatefully.
At this time, Yun Feng suddenly remembered something, and commanded the guards: "You immediately go after it in groups, that barbarian should not have gone far now, be careful, he is very strong, if you don't do it brutely, immediately send a signal to notify." ”
"Yes!" The guards received the order and divided into several teams to disperse to search.
Only then did Ya Yunling see that An Xu's expression was wrong, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?" ”
An Xu shook his head, but his fists were clenched tightly, that night, he was originally capable of stopping the barbarian, as long as he blocked him slightly, Yun Feng could rush forward and kill him, but because he was worried about being injured, An Xu retreated, which allowed the barbarian to run away.
And it is precisely because of this that these innocent lives will suffer a huge disaster, although this is not An Xu's fault, he is just a temporary guard, on the premise of protecting Yayun Ling, it is normal to take care of his own safety at the same time, but An Xu is very self-blaming.
He thinks that these things can be avoided, but it is because of his cowardice that the tragedy has occurred.
If time could be turned back, An Xu would definitely do his best to stop the barbarian, but unfortunately, it was useless to regret it now.
Suddenly, a slight sobbing sound attracted An Xu's attention, and he turned his head to see a girl sitting on the grass in the distance, burying her head and her shoulders constantly shaking, looking very sad.
What made An Xu care was that this girl was wearing a white power suit from the Demon Martial Arts Academy, could it be a student of the Warrior Department?
He walked forward slowly, the sound of footsteps startling the girl, and she looked up to reveal a heartbroken, familiar face.
"Lin Qingqing?" Ahn Xu's eyes widened.
"Senior!" Lin Qingqing didn't expect An Xu to appear here, he opened his mouth, but he didn't say any words again, only tears kept coming out of his eyes.
An Xu's heart sank, he thought of a possibility, and hesitated: "This is ......"
He didn't ask, Lin Qingqing couldn't control it anymore, and cried loudly, it turned out that she grew up in this village, not only her parents, but everyone in the village was regarded by her as relatives.
Even Lin Qingqing's study expenses for going to the Demon Martial Arts Academy were made up by the people in the village one by one, and the blow to her can be imagined when she encountered such a change.
He walked over to Lin Qingqing and sat down, sighed, and gently patted Lin Qingqing's shoulder.
"I'm sorry...... An Xu muttered, only he knew what this sorry meant.
"No, it was yesterday...... I wanted to come back yesterday, but ...... But it was too late, so I stayed at school all night, and it was all my fault why I didn't come back yesterday...... Woo! Lin Qingqing had been suppressed for too long, and suddenly an acquaintance appeared next to her, who was still a senior she admired, and she immediately vented the grief in her heart.
An Xu shook his head, he knew how powerful that barbarian was, how could he resist it with the strength of Lin Qingqing's one-star warrior, and if he came back early, he would just give away his life in vain?
He could only sit quietly with Lin Qingqing, but in his heart, he became more and more angry.
The culprit of all this is absolutely unforgivable!
"Senior, do you know who the murderer is?" Lin Qingqing suddenly raised his head and said hatefully: "Tell me quickly, I must avenge the people in the village with my own hands!" ”
"Don't!" An Xu hurriedly stopped it, which had already caused so many people to die, if Lin Qingqing had any more accidents, An Xu would definitely be even more upset.
At this time, suddenly a horse galloped in the distance, and a guard of the Yakumo family turned over from the horse, came to Yakumo Ling, took out an envelope from his arms and handed it over: "Miss, the head of the family has an urgent secret letter." ”
"Oh?" Yakumo Ling felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, opened the envelope and read it, and then his face changed drastically.
Seeing Yun Feng looking at herself suspiciously, she said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is critically ill, I'm afraid that something will happen in the royal city, and my father told us to rush back to the family immediately and prepare countermeasures." ”
"And here?" Yun Feng hesitated, that barbarian at least had the strength equivalent to a four-star warrior, to be honest, with the local garrison alone, it would be difficult to catch him in this wilderness, if he left it alone, I don't know what trouble would happen.
"I'll go!" A voice sounded, Yayun Ling and Yun Feng turned their heads and saw An Xu coming over.
Yakumo Ling said angrily: "Don't mess around, you also know that that barbarian is not something you can deal with, I think it's better to let ......"
"Leave it to me!" An Xu interrupted Yayun Ling's words and said seriously.
He has already made up his mind that only by cutting off the murderer's head with his own hands can he wash away the guilt in his heart, otherwise he will not be able to let go of it for the rest of his life.
Seeing An Xu's serious resoluteness, Yayun Ling wanted to speak but stopped, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Since this is the case, then please leave it to you, this is the last task I have given you, if it is too difficult, you can seek the help of the city guards, and I will also issue the wanted warrant, remember, safety first!" ”
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!" An Xu nodded.
