Chapter 45: Night Detective
In the afternoon of the same day, Shi Ziling went to Ma Yu's mansion after changing his appearance, Ma Yu's opinion was similar to Yu Yulan's, and he also felt that Chen Gongzhao's death was quite strange, and there was probably an ulterior secret behind it. Although the Ma family and the Chen family have always been at odds, Ma Yu does not want to see Chen Gongzhao's father and son die so unclearly.
Ma Yu said: "Since this matter involves Luo Linhai and Luo Wangye, now both Master Su and other officials responsible for handling this matter have a big headache, and they are afraid that if the truth is really related to Luo Wangye, I am afraid that the situation will be difficult to clean up." I think that the person who assassinated Chen Gongzhao may not be a famous master, but I can't speculate on what his purpose was. ”
Shi Ziling said: "I guess the basis for your speculation should be that Chen Zhongping is not dead, right?"
Ma Yu said: "Yes, if it is a first-class master or assassin, how can he leave Chen Zhongping alive? My father once personally examined the sword wound on Chen Zhongping's chest, and felt that the person who made the sword probably did not reach home with swordsmanship, otherwise Chen Zhongping would not be alive by now." ”
Shi Ziling said: "I think it is difficult to tell the level of the assassin's swordsmanship from Chen Zhongping's sword wound. Although Chen Zhongping's strength is not very strong, it is also good among the younger generation in Songhu City, and there are probably only a few people such as you and Su Gongzi above him, and the potential of a young master like him will be very strong when he is in danger. ”
"Perhaps it was the Assassin's overconfidence in his swordsmanship in his hurry that he did not take a closer look at Chen Zhongping's injuries, which allowed Chen Zhongping to escape. Of course, there is some truth in your inference, but it is difficult to draw conclusions about the facts. ”
Ma Yu said: "Do you mean that Chen Zhongping's dying struggle saved his life when he was in danger? I don't believe it, otherwise Chen Gongzhao and Chen Zhongjian must have struggled too, why would they all die?"
Shi Ziling smiled and said, "This is just a speculation on my part, maybe the assassin's target is only Chen Gongzhao alone, he didn't want to kill his two sons, but they just happened to be affected by the pond fish." ”
"From my own cultivation experience, the deeper my own martial arts cultivation is, the more I feel that the potential contained in the human body is actually very large, and the so-called masters are just better at discovering and using their own potential. Life can seem fragile at times, but it's also powerful at times, and a good swordsman will occasionally miss. ”
Ma Yu shook his head and said, "I don't understand what kind of life potential you are talking about, according to what you said, wouldn't everyone be able to become a top master like you? This is too ridiculous! If you don't believe my inference, you can go and see Chen Zhongping's wounds yourself, anyway, you are now transfigured, and you are not afraid that someone will recognize you." ”
Shi Ziling said: "I just think that everyone has his own unique potential, whether they can all become the top masters of martial arts is not known, this is just some of the insights I have gained from my own cultivation experience." ”
Ma Yu said: "How many genius monsters like you can there be in this world? Do you think that your own potential is very great, I believe it, but if you want to say that everyone's potential is very big, I don't believe it, I also want to become a master of your level, do you think it's impossible?"
Shi Ziling said: "Didn't I already give you a copy of the 'Yuan Demon Divine Technique', don't you think it's good to practice it?"
Ma Yu said: "Very good, my strength has indeed improved significantly, but can I catch up with you in this way? The fact that you can create the 'Yuan Demon Divine Technique' by yourself means that you are a martial arts genius, and I also think that I am very smart, but I can't do it if you ask me to create my own martial arts. ”
"Don't say it's self-created martial arts, I can only practice your 'Yuan Demon Divine Technique' to the fourth layer, and it will be very difficult to go up, I estimate that I can practice to a fifth and sixth layer realm in my life, and it will probably come to an end, where do you say my potential goes?"
Shi Ziling said with a smile: "Maybe your potential is not in martial arts, you are so smart, you can try to explore your potential in other aspects, I just made an analogy." ”
"What I mean by this is that a person's potential in danger can dodge the fatal blow of a stronger master, and I've had that experience myself. I don't know if Chen Zhongping is like this, okay, I won't argue with you, I plan to sneak into Chen's mansion at night to take a look at Chen Zhongping's injuries, seeing is believing, so it's okay. ”
Ma Yu said: "I'm also very interested in this matter, why don't we go together......
Late that night, Ma Yu and Shi Ziling both changed into special night clothes, covered their faces with black scarves, and quietly sneaked into Chen Gongzhao's mansion. Although there were many defenders patrolling the city outside Chen's mansion, it was not difficult for Ma Yu and Shi Ziling to avoid them at night.
After entering Chen's mansion, the two went straight to the backyard and quickly found the room where Chen Zhongping was recuperating from his injuries.
There were two main teams responsible for protecting Chen Zhongping that night, one was the city defenders led by Mu Baishuang, who was responsible for patrolling the periphery of the Chen Mansion, and the other was led by Xu Sihai, a staff general of the Auxiliary Defense Army, who was responsible for sitting inside the Chen family.
Xu Sihai has always been a close confidant of the Chen family, although he knows that the Chen family has offended many enemies over the years, he is still frightened by the sudden assassination of Chen Gongzhao's father and son.
Yesterday, Xu Sihai hurriedly went to report to Su Bairen, and he forgot to check whether Chen Zhongping was dead, which almost delayed Chen Zhongping's injury, and he was very ashamed in his heart, so he automatically asked Ying to be the first to come to Chen Zhongping's vigil.
At this time, it was late at night, Chen Zhongping and a doctor who took care of him were resting in the back room, and they had fallen asleep peacefully, but Xu Sihai was still sighing in the room, worried about his future career. Without Chen Gongzhao as a backer, he is a small general who wants to get ahead, but he is afraid that it will be difficult.
Shi Ziling and Ma Yu originally wanted to come to inspect Chen Zhongping's sword wound, but saw that Xu Sihai and a doctor were both in the house, and if they wanted to go in, they would have to knock Xu Sihai down first, which seemed a little inappropriate. After discussing it, the two decided to go to Chen Gongzhao's bedroom first to have a look.
Ma Yu had already sent someone to find out the details of the internal terrain of the Chen family in advance, and the two quickly found the bedroom where Chen Gongzhao had an accident. Seeing that there was no one to guard here, the two were about to go in, when Shi Ziling suddenly heard a strange sound in the distance, and hurriedly signaled Ma Yu to hide.
Soon a figure rushed over, looking at the speed of this person's running, it seemed that his strength was not weak. This person was not tall, and he was also masked in a black scarf, and he quickly swept past the place where Shi Ziling and Ma Yu were hiding.
Ma Yu was about to follow to see what was going on, but was stopped by Shi Ziling. Shi Ziling saw that this person's strength should be above Ma Yu, and Ma Yu was afraid that there would be danger if he followed, so he motioned for Ma Yu to stay, and he quietly followed behind the figure.
The figure kept jumping and shuttling in the huge Chen Mansion, as if he was looking for something, and it seemed to be aimless, seeing Shi Ziling's heart strange, he didn't understand what this person wanted.
After following closely for a while, Shi Ziling's heart suddenly moved, feeling that the figure of this masked man seemed to be a little familiar, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and when he was puzzled, suddenly a shout came from the direction of the room where Chen Zhongping was recuperating.
Shi Ziling heard that it was Ma Yu's voice, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and he didn't care about following the masked man in front of him anymore, so he hurriedly hurried in the direction of Ma Yu's voice.
