Dongcheng District, Qinghe Valley Mansion.

"What? You tell me again? The young master was ...... What's that?" A tall, thin, middle-aged man in a green robe stared at the man in black kneeling on the ground in front of him, with three words written on his face: I don't believe it.

The man in black lowered his head, not daring to look at the face of this Dharma Protector, and his own face, cold sweat had already trickled down, and it was about to turn into a waterfall.

God, what is Xu Protector's temper, that is well known, the murder is just one word, not explained.

I made such a big mistake this time, but I can imagine that it must be over......

Think about it, the young master is dead, and he hasn't even seen what the other party looks like, this is simply an unforgivable capital crime!

With Xu Protector's consistent style, he will definitely not let go of himself, the difference is only how to die.

In an instant, the black-clothed man's mind flashed through Ling Chi, the car cracked, the five horses split the corpse, and other tortures, and he couldn't help but shiver, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"You, stand up straight. Xu Protector's face was full of anger and kicked him.

"Yes, yes. The man in black hurriedly stood up, but he couldn't straighten his waist anyway, he only dared to lie around, like a prawn.

"You tell me carefully, what does the person who killed the young master look like, what weapons and exercises are used, I don't believe it, I really don't even have the slightest clue?"

"This ......"

"Why, you still won't say?"

"No, no, no. The man in black was so frightened that he knelt down again, slapped himself continuously, and said while fanning: "The villain should die, the villain should die, it's not that the villain refuses to say, but ...... I really didn't react!"

"Rice bucket!" Xu Protector was so angry that he kicked him again, and scolded: "What a rice bucket! Why did I find such a thing as you to be a shadow guard for the young master? You say!"

"Villain...... The villain is willing to bear it with all his might, no matter how the valley owner punishes, the villain has absolutely no complaints. ”

"You? What kind of thing are you? Can you afford it? Even if you are slashed with a thousand knives, what is the use? How can a young master's golden life be offset by your dog's life?"

"......" The man in black was speechless, so he could only continue to kneel, not daring to say more.

". Xu Protector paced around the room, and said distraughtly: "Impossible, impossible, the young master has so many defensive magic weapons on his body." How could the other party destroy all the magic weapons with a single sword? You can think about it for me again, is that really the case?"

"Absolutely!" The man in black immediately raised his head and said loudly: "The villain is willing to swear by the spiritual position of the eighteenth generation of the ancestor, and the situation at that time was like this, I only saw a colorful stream of fire falling from the sky, and then a silver sword light struck, and the young master ...... What's that. This statement is true, and if there is any falsehood, I will be hit by five thunderbolts that day. The whole body is turned into charcoal, and after death, the soul is scattered, and it cannot be reborn, and it will fall forever ......"

"Alright, alright. Xu Protector looked at him with such an oath. I also believed eight points in my heart.

After all, although this kid is not good, his loyalty can still be guaranteed, otherwise he would not have been chosen to serve as his personal service. The shadow guard who never leaves.

At that time, Xu Protector didn't see the situation, but thought with his toes. It can also be guessed that it must be electric, everything happened in the blink of an eye, and there was no time to react.

Otherwise, this kid would have been killed on the spot with his body to protect the Lord, how could he still save a life to come back to see him?

The other party is also strange, killing the young master, and actually sparing the shadow guard's life, what does this mean?

Could it be that that guy did it on purpose, just to humiliate and trample on the face of Qinghe Valley?

In an instant, Xu Protector thought a lot in his heart.

The room fell silent all of a sudden, so quiet that only the breathing of the two could be heard.

Suddenly, the door was suddenly knocked on, and the person who came didn't care whether he agreed or disagreed, he directly slammed on the door and entered, and roared urgently: "Lord Protector, it's not good, my subordinates have already checked just now, and the other three guards around the young master have all been killed at the entrance of Jade Lane on South Street, and there are no corpses!"

"What??" Xu Protector was really shocked at this moment.

The three guards and one shadow guard he arranged for Cui Gongzi, although they are not particularly powerful masters, but at least they are above the spiritual realm, as long as they don't provoke those old monsters in this Hundred Treasure City, they can basically be leveled.

If it was said that it was an old guy with advanced cultivation, it wouldn't make sense.

You must know that Qinghe Valley has set up an office here for more than 70 years, and the managers have changed a few times, and it is impossible that no one still knows about it.

Those old guys with advanced cultivation, no matter how much they hate Cui Gongzi, they will not use such a ruthless method to kill them directly.

As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, Cui Gongzi has his back to the Qinghe Valley, and he is originally a sideways character in this Hundred Treasure City, and the old guys know it, and they will inform their disciples to turn a blind eye and try not to provoke that guy.

As for themselves, it is even more impossible, because this is not in accordance with the rules, and the old guys have always been the most disciplined in doing things, even if there is really any conflict with Cui Gongzi, they will directly find the Xu Protector Theory in charge - this is the right way to deal with it.

The ruthless style of saying and killing like this can only be done by people from other places who don't understand the rules.

So who is it?

Xu Protector pondered for a long time, got up and said, "Go, call all the people below, I have something to explain." ”

"Yes!" the two subordinates received the order and immediately took action.

Although it is late at night, who would dare not come when the Dharma Protector speaks?

After a while, the courtyard was full of people, all dressed in green shirts, all of them disciples from the Green River Valley.

Xu Protector began to arrange the task, he first asked a group of people to block the city gate, only allowed to enter, not out, in case the murderer escaped from Baibao City overnight.

Then, he sent a group of people to the auction house to ask Cui Gongzi if he had a grudge with anyone tonight, and if so, who the other party's surname was and where he lived, he had to find out.

Then, he ordered his two right-hand men to go to the city gate garrison as soon as possible to inquire if any foreign masters had entered the city today.

In the end, he personally led a group of people to the Lan family's mansion in the center of the city.

If you want to talk about the Lan family, it is the leading big family in the local area, this Hundred Treasure City can be said to have been established by them, and foreign forces like Qinghe Valley, no matter how bullish they are13, when they come to this Hundred Treasure City, they all have to bow their heads.

At present, this matter may make a big fuss, out of respect, it is better to notify the Lan family first, so as not to make any noise when the time comes, and everyone will be upset.

What's more, the auction house and the garrison were all opened by the Lan family, and blocking the city gate was a big deal, if you didn't ventilate first, maybe what the Lan family would think.

Hey, what a night of blood mold......

Xu Protector sighed in his heart while leading people on the road, and the figures of the group soon disappeared into the night.

......

North of the city, Fulai Inn.

The inn at midnight was already silent, and all the rooms were dark, except for the room to the south, where a faint candle was still lit.

The owner of the room was a woman in a snow-white robe, and even though it was late at night, she still did not fall asleep, but sat cross-legged on the chuang and meditated, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she was awake.

Suddenly, the little girl ring on the futon next to her opened her mouth: "Miss, you say...... Why hasn't that Cui Gongzi sent things over yet, when has this been, could it be that he suddenly looked at it and liked it, and kept it for himself?"

"Perhaps. Ling Qingzhu snorted and didn't continue, obviously not very interested in this topic.

"How's that going to work? Chao Yan looked angry, "That's a painting by Master Feng, it's still the emperor, how can it be left to this kind of unlearned and unskilled man? No, I must go and snatch it back!"

"Don't make a fuss. Ling Qingzhu frowned, and said: "It's just a painting, Master Feng has been famous for eight hundred years, and there are countless works left behind, do you still want to collect them one by one?"

"Uh...... Not really, but I think it's a bit of a pity. ”

"Then you go, I won't stop you. ”

"Huh??" Xiao Nizi instantly deflated.

Although she said so, it was a different story entirely.

If there is no young lady's support, what can she do alone?

I'm afraid this is not very good? Even if you really grab it, it doesn't take any reason, according to the character of your own young lady who values morality and etiquette in everything, she will definitely not talk to herself when the time comes.

Since you can't do it, then only money is left to open the way.

Chao Yan is not short of money, but it also depends on what to deal with, if it is a general trivial matter, she waved her hand and sprinkled it, and she will not feel distressed, but this painting ......

Ahem, this is a large item that was finally sold for 890,000 taels of silver!

With so much money, she definitely can't take it out, so she has to ask the young lady for it.

As for Ling Qingzhu, it's not that she can't afford it, but the problem is that she may not be willing to give it......

Thinking about it, Chao Yan couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth, feeling very unhappy.

My own young lady is good anywhere, but this plain and indisputable temperament is a bit too much, if she can bring the decisive style of killing when facing demons into life, how good would it be......

Just thinking about it, Ling Qingzhu on the chuang suddenly opened his eyes, frowned slightly, looked out the window, and said lightly: "Which friend is peeping outside?" It's cold now, if it's not too troublesome, just come in and talk about it." ”

With a wave of her hand, a breath of fresh air suddenly rolled out and slammed open the window.

"Smack. "Something fell and seemed to have been placed on the windowsill.

Without Ling Qingzhu's reminder, Chao Yan's figure had already turned into a string of afterimages, and he quickly rushed out of the window and chased down.

After a while, she shouted in surprise and asked, "Who is it? Why are you sneaking around and not seeing anyone? I'll count three times, you'd better come out for me!" (to be continued......)
