Shi Zhiyi and Helian Mingzhi naturally did not leave, but found an inn in Jiangyang County to live, because Helian Mingzhi's size is too eye-catching, so he generally stays in the inn, while Shi Zhiyi disguises himself as a passer-by and hawker, familiarizes himself with the environment near Sun Weiqing's mansion, and understands Sun Weiqing's travel rules.

As the deputy general of Jiangyang County, Sun Weiqing's daily routine is actually quite regular: he goes out every morning to go to the military camp located on the riverside to perform duties and train soldiers, and returns home from the military camp at sunset every day, and after that, he almost always stays in the house without leaving home. The only exception was that on the day of the beginning of the month, when the military camp was on vacation, Sun Weiqing did not go out all day.

The demon race has disappeared for thousands of years, and now the Great Jin Dynasty has risen to peace in the four seas, although there are occasional border troubles and bandits, but they are basically the diseases of moss, and there is no harm to the root, so most of the troops only maintain the lowest level of alert, and only practice during the day. Moreover, Luzhou City is not a frontier place, and a senior officer of Sun Weiqing's rank can go home every day and rest for two days off at the beginning of each month.

Shi Zhiyi stared at Sun Weiqing and Sun Fu for half a month, and he also had a general understanding of him. Sun Weiqing has no friends in his daily life, and he has never had a banquet or entertainment, and he can be said to be a very self-disciplined person with two points and a line between the military camp and the mansion every day.

He is in a high position and is a strict person, but he does not have any behavior of oppressing the people, so he has a good reputation, and most of the people respect and fear him. After Helian Jieya disappeared inexplicably, she did not continue the string, and she was not greedy for money and lustful. Compared with some current officials who are corrupt and pervert the law, Sun Weiqing can be called a role model.

Shi Zhiyi knew that the more self-disciplined Sun Weiqing was, the more difficult it would be for them to deal with. In fact, whether it is him or his father Shi Huaichuan, it can be said that he is a fellow with Sun Weiqing in this regard. The way of martial arts is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you want to reach the highest realm, both heart and perseverance are indispensable.

In addition to Sun Weiqing's travel rules, Shi Zhiyi's other gain was to know the whereabouts of the Tianpu Sword. In fact, this is really not a gain, because Sun Weiqing hangs it on his waist every day and never leaves his body, and it is difficult for Shi Zhiyi to see it. Combined with the description of Helian Inscription and the two ancient words on the scabbard, Shi Zhiyi could easily confirm that it was the Heavenly Waterfall Sword, one of the seven sacred swords of the Fengqiang Clan.

Seeing that there would be no more to gain if they continued to stare at it, after the two discussed, they packed up their equipment and prepared to venture into Sun's mansion to explore.

That night, Shi Zhiyi and Helian Mingzhi changed into dark clothes, left the inn, and came to Sun Weiqing's mansion by car. The last time he fled from here, the gate that had been shattered by Shi Zhiyi's sword had already been repaired, and on both sides of the gate, two lanterns that were gently swaying in the summer night breeze emitted a dim light, just enveloping the two sleepy sergeants below.

Shi Zhiyi and the others bypassed the main entrance and came to a remote corner. Although the wall of the Sun Mansion Courtyard is high, it does not pose any obstacle to the two people in the marrow washing realm, and they have entered the courtyard with a slight jump.

At this moment, it was late at night, and it was dark in the courtyard of the wall, and the two of them did not dare to go deeper, and slowly touched it in by the light of the moon. After passing through a bamboo forest and around a few pine trees, a patchwork of houses came into view.

Faintly, the row of houses on the right side of the courtyard still seems to be lit, but it is blocked by the front room, and it is not real. The two of them glanced at each other and felt towards the light together.

There is no one else in this room, it is Steward Zhao who has had a relationship with the two. In that fight a few days ago, Steward Zhao was seriously injured, his entire left shoulder was shattered by Helian Mingzhi's iron fist, and his chest was cut open by Shi Zhiyi's sword.

This sword not only injured his muscles and bones, but the sword qi also invaded the meridians like maggots on the tarsal bones, so that he could not use his skills to heal his wounds, and completely relied on the power of the medicine stone. After a few days, the injury didn't improve much, but the sword qi in the meridians was forced out by six or seven percent.

Steward Zhao had just changed the medicine, and he was tossing and turning on the bed, and the wound was unbearable. In the dimness, he heard what seemed to be a sound in the room, and turned around in pain, only to see a sharp blade hanging on his neck. Looking along the body of the sword, he met Shi Zhiyi's smiling eyes.

"Steward Zhao, don't come unharmed"

Feeling the chill coming from his neck, Steward Zhao naturally didn't dare to move, but his heart was turning sharply, thinking about how to get out safely.

"Don't think about it, no matter how fast you run, can you still outrun my sword? You should know my intentions, answer me a few questions obediently, and I will naturally not embarrass you. ”

"Good. Steward Zhao can also afford to put it down, and his answer is crisp and neat.

"How long have you been in the Sun Mansion?"

"Fourteen years. ”

"Helian Jieya of the Fengqiang clan, that is, the wife of Vice General Sun, do you know her?"

"Recognize. ”

"Is she still alive?"

"No, she's long dead. ”

Although he had expected this answer, when he heard Steward Zhao admit it himself, Helian Mingzhi, who was holding the wind at the door, still clenched his fists, and his eyes were swollen and almost burst into flames.

"When did she die?"

"Ten years ago. ”

"How did she die?"

"My lord killed him. ”

"What did you see with your own eyes?"

"No, we were still in the old house on Fuzheng Street at that time, and once the two of them went out, but when they came back, they were only the master, but they never saw the lady again. For some time after that, his temper was not very good, and when I asked about his wife's whereabouts, he told me that he had killed her. ”

"Why did he kill Madame?"

"I don't know about this, but I guess it may be the reason why Madame wants to return the old man's sword to the clan, but the old man does not agree. ”

"The last time we met, you secretly ambushed the soldiers and prepared to deal with the two of us, was it ordered by Sun Weiqing?"

"Yes, the lord said that he killed the Helian clan, and the Fengqiang clan will come to the door sooner or later. Later, the lord bought a deserted mansion here and built the current mansion on the original land. We moved here from the old house on Fuzheng Street, and told me that if one day the Fengqiang tribe came, whether they were dead or alive, they must not let you escape and pass the news back to the clan. ”

After a series of questions, Steward Zhao answered neatly and neatly without the slightest delay. From his expression, Shi Zhiyi couldn't see any traces of fraud. At this point, the matter has basically come to light, it is Sun Weiqing, the master of the Sun Mansion and the current deputy general of Jiangyang County, who may have killed Helian Jieya, the daughter of the patriarch of the Fengqiang tribe who had sworn by the mountains and seas and came to Luzhou City from the Moyun Plateau to take revenge with his own hands.

Afraid of leaking the news, he arranged for the housekeeper to design to deal with the Fengqiang people. If it weren't for Shi Zhiyi who happened to be with Helian Mingzhi and was vigilant enough, Helian Mingzhi might have been buried in the courtyard where they were a few days ago.

Shi Zhiyi looked at Helian Mingzhi, but saw that the latter had tears in his eyes, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he was already on the verge of exploding!

was thinking about what to say to comfort Helian Mingzhi, and suddenly there was a strong energy in his hand, but it was Steward Zhao who took advantage of Shi Zhiyi's distraction to secretly luck Zhenyuan, and used his right hand to open the long sword on his neck, and his body broke out of the window like a cannonball!

At the same time, a long howl sounded in the Sun Mansion!
