Chapter 12: Huo Dong (1)
"Fruit wine? Legendary? Xiao Tianzuo filtered Chu Chu's information in his mind, and at this time he also guessed that this wine might be "monkey wine", otherwise, it would not have such a big attraction and lead the two of them out of the Chamber of Commerce. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Chu Chu, do you have any other information you want to explain?"
"The young master asked me to find a fisherman to buy this wine, and I bid five hundred taels of silver for a pot, but the fisherman opened his mouth and asked for five thousand taels of silver for a pot. Unexpectedly, the young master agreed to come down, and ordered fifty pots at once. I wonder why the young master loves wine so much that he doesn't even consider whether it's worth the price or not. Ay! Saying that, Chu Chu sighed slightly dissatisfied.
Xiao Tianzuo naturally understood Chu Chu's ignorance, but he didn't point it out. From the bottom of his heart, he had already excluded Chu Chu from the list of suspicious people. He can also understand the behavior of Huo Qiu and the others: knowing that it is "monkey wine", no one will be indifferent. "Is there anything else you would like to add?"
"No, Commander Xiao, that's all I know, I'm busy with other affairs after this fisherman leaves, and I don't know when the young master and Chief Tian left."
"Okay, you go down first, and then think about it when you go back, see if there is anything missing, and then draw me the fisherman's face."
"Yes, Commander Xiao." Chu Chu retired and left.
"Xiong Tao, you immediately gather people to find the whereabouts of the young master and Chief Tian, and report it as soon as there is news." Xiao Tianzuo arranged.
"Yes, Commander Xiao, I'll do it immediately." Xiong Tao took the order.
Four days later, the people of the Heaven and Earth Alliance found the bodies of Huo Qiu and Tian Seng in the coconut grove and brought them back.
Seeing the scars on Tian Seng's body, Xiao Tianzuo was very ugly: it was done by the people of Wushengfeng again. He judged that it seemed that the matter must be reported to the General Alliance in a timely manner.
"Xiong Tao, hurry up and prepare the carriage. I'm going back to Tiger Roar with three corpses. After I leave, the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce will be handled by Chu Chu, and you will be responsible for the security affairs. Remember, the situation is uncertain, so you should keep a low profile here and don't cause trouble for the Alliance. You know? ”
"Yes, Commander Xiao, I will keep in mind the teachings of the commander and take care of my subordinates." Xiong Tao saluted and promised.
"Go down and prepare, I'll be on my way at once." After giving the order, Xiao Tianzuo began to prepare to leave.
After a while, a carriage pulled out of the Chamber of Commerce and headed southwest towards the location of Tiger Roaring City......
Huo Qiu is dead, and Xiao Tianzuo is gone. Xiong Tao has been working with Chu Chu in Wuhai City, and the relationship is not bad, the factors that pose a danger to Chu Chu in Wuhai City have been eliminated, Chu Chu has been safe for the time being, and the freedom of movement has also increased, she has time to contact Lin Yan and start their initial agreement: ask Lin Yan to refine medicine.
Lin Yan reviewed the process of killing Huo Qiu, and felt that there was no flaw. It should be possible to transfer this matter to the Five Holy Peaks, like this. They're still safe here. He simply renovated the house and set up a medicine refining room, refining medicine while practicing, and worked hard to improve his strength. After fighting with Xiao Tianyou, Lin Yan felt the gap in strength, if he still wanted to take a walk in the Tianyuan Continent. He can't protect himself at all with this bit of strength, so it is necessary to refine medicine for Chu Chu and have a place to practice. Lin Yan's days fell silent again.
All the way non-stop, two months later. Xiao Tianzuo drove the carriage and finally arrived at Tiger Roaring City. Tiger Roaring City is the territory of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and he drove straight to the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion is the current work center of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and Huo Yuan and other important members of the Heaven and Earth Alliance live nearby.
Outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Tianzuo met someone he didn't want to see in person: Huo Yuan's fourth son, Huo Dong. This person has a very high talent in martial arts, and has now reached the advanced level of the Martial Emperor, and is the strongest among Huo Yuan's four sons. Although Huo Qiu is his third brother, he looks down on this idle third brother very much, and he has no good face for the people around him, and Xiao Tianzuo's brothers have been punished by Huo Dong many times.
"Xiao Tianzuo, stop! Didn't you accompany the third child to Wuhai City, why did you come back alone, did the third child send you back to plead with your grandfather and want to return to Tiger Roaring City? Huo Dong stopped the carriage and asked mockingly.
Xiao Tianzuo hadn't seen the alliance leader yet, and Huo Qiu couldn't say anything about Huo Qiu's death, so he said vaguely: "The little one has seen the fourth master." The little one came back this time to report something to the alliance leader, and he didn't think about seeing the ancestor. Then he changed the topic and flattered, "How can the fourth master have time to go out for a walk today, presumably his skills have improved again!" ”
Xiao Tianzuo's flattery Huo Dong was still very useful, tilted his head, and said proudly: "It is necessary to be diligent, what is like that waste, I haven't grown anything from practice." Forget it, if you have something to report, you can go in first, and I'll go out for a walk. ”
"Yes, Fourth Master. After the end of the day, the little one will come back to you to say goodbye. Xiao Tianzuo bowed and drove into the mansion.
Seeing the carriage entering, Huo Dong sneered: "Seeing that you are nervous, that waste must have caused trouble in Wuhai City again." No, I'm going to go with you. Huo Dong stepped forward and followed.
After the transmission, Xiao Tianzuo was summoned by Huo Yuan. Seeing Huo Yuan, Xiao Tianzuo's face was full of sadness, and he said in a choked voice: "Alliance leader, Young Master Huo Qiu has an accident, he was killed in Wuhai City!" ”
"What! Wuhai City is so remote, with your two brothers guarding him, how could something happen to him? What are you doing? Although he was dissatisfied with Huo Qiu's lack of progress, he was the most pleasing among the four sons, how could he not care.
"Alliance Leader, here's what happened...... Xiao Tianzuo reported to Huo Yuan in detail about their arrival in Wuhai City, and finally said, "Alliance Leader, I have brought the corpse back to the carriage in the garden." ”
"You said it was done by the people of the Five Holy Peaks, have you ever seen it?"
"No, Alliance Master, I deduced it from the scars on their bodies."
"Oh, I see. You go down and wait first, and I'll send you over for questioning. ”
"Yes, alliance leader, the villain retires." Xiao Tianzuo withdrew from the room, he didn't dare to go far, and waited in a side room.
Regarding the Five Sacred Peaks, Huo Yuan notified the elders to come here to discuss, and arranged for someone to move the three corpses into the house. The corpses were lined up in front of the hall covered with white cloths, and when the elders came in, they felt strange when they saw it, but they didn't take the lead in asking questions.
When everyone arrived, Huo Yuan spoke: "I called you here today because I have something important to discuss with you. On the ground are the three corpses that Xiao Tianzuo just brought back, and I haven't seen them either, now let's take a look at whether there is anything to be found. With that, Huo Yuan walked over to the corpse and untied the white cloth.
"It's the third son, Xiao Tianyou, Tian Seng!" The elders exclaimed, "What's going on? ”
"I don't know exactly what happened, so let's examine the injury first and see what we find." Huo Yuan said.
The crowd gathered around the corpse and examined it carefully...... (To be continued.) )
