As the morning sun rose, the city of Dolong began to be noisy as usual, and the people who were about to leave the city hastily had breakfast and walked towards the city gates on all sides, but today, there were more people guarding the city gates in the four directions.

"Stop. ”

Under the north city gate, four men in ordinary but uniform cyan robes stopped in front of an obese middle-aged man. Although the clothes of several people are made of ordinary materials, anyone who walks around in Duolong City knows that these four people are all from the Zhao family, which has the most financial resources in Duolong City.

"Yes, what's the matter?" The fat man who was stopped raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, and asked calmly, "I—I don't know you, why do you want to stand in the way?"

"Hmph!" The man standing in the middle stared coldly at the fat man, and shook out a portrait in his hand.

As soon as the fat man saw the portrait, he retreated in a panic, and his face instantly turned like dead ashes, wasn't it him who was on the painting? The fat man who knew that he couldn't escape, secretly hated in his heart: Damn, the Zhao family set up a card in front of the city gate so early.

"Our third young master hasn't gone home since he left with you yesterday, and now the entire Zhao family is looking for the young master. ”

"I—I don't know anything. The fat man's wrapped hands kept swinging in front of his chest. "The third young master only drank a few drinks with the villain and left with his entourage, and the villain didn't know that the third young master had gone to ...... later"

"Less nonsense. The man interrupted the fat man with a word and said to the people around him, "Take him back." ”

"No, don't ......" the fat man retreated in panic and fear, and his usually eloquent mouth could only utter this simple and weak word of resistance at this time.

How could the four people who were waiting in front of the city gate early in the morning let go of the fat man, and without saying a word, they grabbed the fat man and took the fat man to the Zhao family like a prisoner.

............

An hour later, the fat man was back in the street, but there were a dozen grim-looking men around him, and now he could only be described as 'dying', apparently tortured.

In front of the Rock Chinese Medicine Museum, such a group of passers-by gathered naturally attracted a burst of surprise, but no one stopped here, and the pedestrians instead accelerated their pace until they thought it was a safe distance before stopping to watch.

The young man standing at the front looked at the hanging door plaque, turned to the fat man with a blue nose and swollen face who was supported by the two of them, and asked in a cold voice, "Is this here?"

"No, that's right. The fat man didn't dare to raise his head and whispered.

The young man who received the answer shook his hand slightly, and two attendants stepped forward and smashed the door panel with brute force, and then the group broke into the medical hall.

In the backyard, except for the corpse in the rock, which is gone, everything else is still the same as last night. Four bodies were lying or lying among the rubble.

"Third brother!" The young man who saw Zhao Hao's body as soon as he entered the backyard shouted and jumped over. This person is Zhao Hao's second brother Zhao Hai, although he was a little unaccustomed and jealous because of Zhao Hao's favor before, but at this moment he still showed that there should be love between brothers.

"Second brother. The fat man who was escorted in also saw his brother's body by the rockery.

Zhao Hai, who was squatting in front of Zhao Hao's corpse, heard the fat man's soft cry, so he got up and glared at the fat man, and the momentum of the fifth-level martial artist was fully revealed, and he asked, "Who did it?"

"......" The fat man was shocked by Zhao Hai's momentum, and wanted to retreat despite being held up.

"You'd better tell me everything you know. Zhao Hai grabbed the fat man's collar with both hands, and his face full of anger was very close to the fat man. "If you hide the slightest thing, I will definitely make your life worse than death. ”

Hearing this, the fat man's body trembled violently. "Yes, it's a one-eyed boy in his teens. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Hai's suspicious gaze swept over the four corpses in the courtyard, and finally returned to the fat man.

"It's true. The fat man looked anxiously at the young man in front of him who controlled his life and death. Subsequently, he told in detail from meeting Dugu Yi in front of the Colosseum to escaping from the small courtyard alone, but in the end, he said that 'taking advantage of the night to seek revenge' became Zhao Hao's own idea.

The villain brothers didn't dare to refuse the third young master to lead the way for him, but they never wanted to end up like this. The fat man was heartbroken and regretful, and then he said no more. It is worth mentioning that the fat man's expression here does not have a hint of drama.

"Is that kid really just a third-level martial artist?" Zhao Hai finally let go of the fat man, walked to the nearest corpse, and carefully examined the wound.

After seeing Zhao Hai's movements, the fat man added: "It was that kid who said it himself, and those guards of the third young master yesterday were also sure that that kid was only a third-level martial artist." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hai's face became solemn, how could a third-level martial artist actually kill two fifth-level martial artists and one third-level martial artist, such a fantastical thing?

"That kid might have a storage ring in his hand......"

"What?" Before the fat man finished speaking, Zhao Hai cried out in surprise. Only then did he remember that the fat man had just said that Zhao Hao was killed by a sword that suddenly appeared, and after taking a few deep breaths, after calming down, Zhao Hai said to everyone present: "Regarding the storage ring, none of you are allowed to say it, including my father." ”

"Yes!" everyone clenched their fists.

"Hmm!" Zhao Hai nodded lightly, and then said: "Since there is a storage ring, then there should be nothing left here, carry the third brother, and we will go back to the errand." ”

The entourage dismantled three door panels to act as stretchers, and carried the bodies of Zhao Hao and the three out of the medical hall.

"Second Young Master. The attendant closest to Zhao Hai stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What should I do with this medical hall?"

Zhao Hai glanced up at the crowd of onlookers, touched his chin and thought about it, and said, "Keep it for the time being, find a few people to keep an eye nearby, and if you find a suspicious person, bring it to me first." ”

"Yes. ”

Zhao Hai nodded, and finally glanced at the façade of the medical hall before taking a step.

It wasn't until the figure of the Zhao family disappeared on the other side of the street that all kinds of discussions sounded in the crowd in front of the medical hall, but among these people, two people looked a little special, one tall and one short, two women wearing light veils and hats to cover their faces.

Xue'er looked at Zhao Hai and his party coldly, but Qilan, who was holding her, never looked over there, and her soft gaze never left Xue'er.

"Do you blame him?"

Xue'er naturally knew who Qilan was referring to, but she couldn't answer it now, or maybe there was an answer in her heart, but she couldn't say it yet.

"Hey!" Qilan sighed, and said softly while leading Xue'er out: "Although I don't know the relationship between you, I don't think the scar left in Dugu Yi's heart last night will be shallower than yours." ”

Xue'er still didn't speak, but Dugu Yi's sad and lonely and endless remorse last night appeared in her mind, and she suddenly felt a tingling pain in her chest.

And things like this will keep repeating themselves around him. Qilan continued, "His sword doesn't protect anything, it only brings destruction and killing. ”

Hearing this sentence that Dugu Yi had also said a year ago, Xue'er finally reacted, her footsteps stopped completely, and her edematous eyes looked at Qilan seriously and suspiciously through the light veil.

"Why? Why do you say that?"

As soon as Xue'er's words came out, the words that Iwanaka said when he saw Dugu Yi's terrifying right eye that was different from ordinary people sounded in her mind: It turns out that the Cursed Child really exists.

And Qilan, who didn't know what Xue'er was thinking, looked up at the sky, and said weakly: "The person who chooses him will force him to take a bloody path, if he doesn't want to die, he can only keep killing, so those who are close to him will always face danger with him, just like you, but this time he asked for it, and others will find him in the future......

"What is Brother Yi carrying, and why is it him?" asked Cher, as if talking to herself.

Xue'er's soft words were listened to by Qilan word for word, so she said with emotion: "Yes, why is it this young man? Although I don't understand the reason, those people must have decided after careful consideration, which means that 'they' may have been watching Dugu Yi for a long time, right?"

Xue'er silently digested this unbelievable information. If the facts are indeed as Qilan said, then the encounter between Dugu Yi and Qin Qin is no longer a chance encounter, but deliberately arranged by others, although it can explain that Qin Qin gave Dugu Yi so many extremely valuable items when they met for the first time, but there is an extra layer of mystery: Why did you choose that time and place a year ago?

"Don't think too much about it. Qilan gently patted the top of Xue'er's head with a sad face. "There will come a time when the truth will come out, and until then even I will have to wait and see. ”

"Is that all there is to it?" Cher pursed her lips slightly, and then asked, "How do you know this?"

Qilan smiled slightly and said, "I'll talk to you slowly when I go back, I also want to know more about Dugu Yi from you." ”

"Hmm!" Cher nodded slightly, already counting what to say and what not to say.
