If he checked, he couldn't check it carefully, after all, not everyone who ranked fourth could kill him quietly. Naturally, the head of the Shangguan family would not take trouble to take care of this tricky matter.

Therefore, he and Rong Zhiwei only need to attend the martial arts competition tomorrow.

The twilight swept through the night breeze at the end of summer, and the Sword Casting Villa was no better than the Demon Sect that had grown up since childhood, and both of them slept extremely unsteadily this night.

Early in the morning, a housekeeper brought a maid to serve a few guests to wash, knocking on the door of the room, asking if the guests in the house had woken up and were ready to wash.

The other eight rooms have agreed to the maid's entry, but no one has responded in the room of Nanfeng Cliff, and several maids and maids have not made up their minds, so they have to ask the housekeeper to call.

The housekeeper of the Shangguan family thought for a while, then stepped forward and took the initiative to knock on the door, and asked loudly, "Nan Daxia is awake?" ”

After waiting for a moment, there was no response from inside the house. The housekeeper stretched out his hand and pushed the door tentatively, but found that the door was not locked with a deadbolt from the inside, and immediately said, "What a disturbance." ”

After the door opened, there was a smell of blood, and the housekeeper was stunned for a second or two, and a maid behind him panicked: "On the ground-Steward Liang, look at the ground!" ”

In the end, it was the maid of the big family of the Sword Casting Villa, and if it was a person next to her, the maid would have already screamed.

Steward Liang glanced at the maid, didn't say much, took the lead in stepping into the house, beckoned the two or three maids behind him to come in too, turned around and closed the door. Took the initiative to take two steps forward, walked to the corpse and carefully squatted down, stretched out his hand to probe the snort of the Nanfeng Cliff, and then stretched out two fingers to touch his strong arteries, all night, the corpse was already cold, only after the housekeeper saw the deep visible wound in the throat of the Nanfeng Cliff, his eyes touched the blood-stained dagger that was randomly dropped on the side, and stood up.

He looked around the room again, picked up the wine glass and flask on the table, and sniffed.

"I'll go and inform the master of this, the three of you will stay here first, don't panic."

"Yes."

In this way, Steward Liang opened the door and walked out.

There were only three maids left in the house, and they did not stand or sit. One of them said: "I know this person, how could Nanfeng Cliff, which is fourth on the list of masters in the rivers and lakes, die here, and I don't know who was poisoned." ”

Another answered: "Nanfeng Cliff is a guest specially invited to post by the villa, how can it be stuck at this juncture and die in the villa?" Who do you say the murderer is? Could it be in the lodge? ”

The remaining maid was unusually calm and shook her head: "Who can tell the things on the rivers and lakes, let's not talk about it, beware of Steward Liang knowing that we are talkative." ”

"It's also..."

The maid butler of the Sword Casting Villa here has palpitations, but in the room of the eldest prince of the Jianghu Alliance, it is a different scene.

A few maids brought toiletries, and Shen Yebai asked them to put them down and left, closing the door. After the two finished washing, Shen Yebai personally put the mask on her, and instructed: "Nanfeng Cliff is dead, it has nothing to do with you and me, after having breakfast with the head of the Shangguan family and Shangguan Lan later, I will sit quietly on the competition platform until the end of choosing a son-in-law, during this period, I will be the eldest prince of the Jianghu League, and you don't need to worry about anything if you have my protection." ”

One delicate white mask is painted with blue-purple delicate butterflies, and the other is a red lotus with blazing eyes.

Unlike the usual whole mask, these two masks are only two-thirds, and the part of the nose is forcibly removed, and the delicate outline is left so that it is not as stiff as if it has been cut in the waist. It does not affect the eating and conversation, and the exquisite design does not give birth to the meaning of cold and thin, but only adds a bit of mystery.

Rong Zhiwei had a warm smile on her face, and she was attached to his ear: "This sect leader is not so stupid, I need you to remind him of everything." ”

"It's always good to give a few more words, and it's not that you don't know that I've been used to talking before you since I became your follower."

He stretched out his hand to take her Rouyi, and the two walked out of the room hand in hand, and walked to the main hall where the small banquet was arranged, led by the maid outside the door.

On the corridor, he was dressed in white, not stained with half a cent of fine dust, with a sword hanging from his waist, and he was holding a handsome posture, and she was also wearing a light gauze white dress with him, but the bottom of the skirt was stained with a little begonia color, but it was more fairy, and it was more comfortable to change the purple dress that he wore last night, and his short hair was not very inconsistent.

Walking through the promenade, through this courtyard, and around a delicate pond with a rockery, we stepped into the main hall.

The head of the Shangguan family stood in the main hall waiting for a few guests to arrive, and a beautiful woman standing next to him was probably Shangguan Lan, who was known as the first beauty in the rivers and lakes.

Shen Yebai went with Rong Zhiwei, standing in front of the head of the Shangguan family and Shangguan Lan, and had to take a look, so he said: "I wish the owner of the village in advance to find a son-in-law who rides the dragon." ”

The owner of the Sword Casting Villa is naturally also the head of the Shangguan family, probably because he has entered middle age, his figure is a little pot-bellied, but his clothes do not show a very noble atmosphere, but the collar and cuffs of the black robe are embroidered with brocade with gold thread, and when he sees the visitor, he looks up and down quietly.

Although it should be that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, but thinking that the matter of Nanfeng Cliff has come out, it is naturally impossible for the owner of the village to let go so much in his heart, and there is less joy between his eyebrows, but he still smiles: "Then I will thank the eldest prince of the Jianghu League for his blessings, Lan'er has seen the eldest prince soon." ”

Shangguan Lan, a beautiful woman dressed in a peach-pink delicate skirt on the side, but did not look tacky at all, saluted: "I have seen the eldest prince of the Jianghu League, thank you for coming to the little girl competition to support the meeting." ”

"Yes." Shen Yebai didn't say much anymore, and accepted it on his face.

The head of the Shangguan family saw that Shen Yebai was only carrying a woman beside him, and they were all dressed in the same costume as him, plus the two came hand in hand, he already understood the meaning of this eldest prince of the Jianghu League, thinking that it was just to cheer up, his family Lan'er had no chance in the Jianghu League, so he immediately let Shen Yebai sit down and no longer did more greetings.

There were already people seated at the table, and the midterm included the Gongsun aunt who was on the list. Among the top ten on the master list, except for Rong Zhiwei, only one woman, Gongsun Auntie, is firmly on the list, which can be regarded as a woman.

Shen Yebai took the style of the eldest prince of the Jianghu League, and greeted the few people who had already sat at the table, and Rong Zhiwei, who was sitting next to him, did not take the initiative to introduce him, so he would not go up to answer the conversation. A few people saw that the eldest prince of the Jianghu League did not mean to introduce him, so they would not come forward to get to know him and ask if they were interested.
