Chapter 50: Important Findings
While Chang'an was watching the battle at the gate of the city, an object was thrown into the air, and then a figure followed
"Give!"
Chang An's gaze turned to the thing that the man tossed, and then the corners of his mouth hooked and caught it steadily.
"The best daughter red!"
Chang An's eyes lit up, he looked at the wine jar in his hand, and then looked at Chu Muhe who was walking towards him.
Chu Muhe's hearty laughter echoed on the eaves of the inn, and he also carried a jar of wine in his left hand, and sat next to Chang An.
Chang An was also polite and sat down with him
"Why doesn't Mr. Chu fight for the palace secret treasure?"
Chu Muhe picked up the wine jar and poured a big sip into the sky
"Hahaha, the secret treasure of the Laoshizi Palace, how can I drink with the head of the Chang family."
Chang An laughed
"That's right, life must be happy, don't make Jin Zun empty to the moon."
Raise the jar and take a big sip.
Chu Muhe's eyes were shining, and he said while drinking while looking at the battle at the city gate
"Jianghu people lick blood from the knife, and if you live, you have to cherish every opportunity to drink, but unfortunately, not everyone cherishes it."
Chang'an Road
"So, I cherish every opportunity to drink with people, and I cherish everyone who drinks with me."
Chu Muhe and Chang An glanced at each other, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"When are the officers and soldiers of the state capital going to do it?"
After three rounds of drinking, Chang An, who was flushed, suddenly asked.
The wine jar that Chu Muhe had picked up stopped in mid-air and put it back away, the smile in his eyes disappearing
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the head of the Chang family."
Chang'an Road
"It's not a hard thing to guess, it's impossible for the state capital to be indifferent if there is such a big commotion."
Chu Muhe wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth
"How is the case of the head of the Chang family?"
Chang An's eyes narrowed slightly
"It's hard to say, this case seems to be widely implicated."
Chu Muhe looked at Chang An in surprise
"Oh? It is rare to find the master of the Chang family who can even kill the sword god, and the person behind this scene really has the ability to reach the sky? ”
Chang An shook his head
"I'm not worried about the people behind this scene, but some of the side details involved in this case seem to be more terrifying."
Chu Muhe smiled, poured another big sip of wine, and did not speak.
"Goo-Goo......
Suddenly there was a pigeon cry in the sky.
Chang An's ears trembled slightly, and he stretched out his left hand, turning his palm into a claw
"Whew!"
A gust of wind blew through Chu Muhe's ears, and Chu Muhe looked at Chang An in amazement, only to see that the carrier pigeon fell uncontrollably into Chang An's palm!
"Dragon Catcher!"
Chu Muhe lost his voice and said, although the pigeon is less than a zhang away from the top of their heads, Chang An's ability to take things from the air is indeed the legendary dragon catcher, you know, even in the rivers and lakes where the strong man came out three years ago, there will be no more than three people who can do this trick, and now in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that the person with such skills is the first Chang family master in the world beside him.
Chang An smiled slightly, took off the letter paper tied to the pigeon's leg, and unfolded it to take a look.
I saw that his face became more and more solemn, and then, he slowly tore up the letter paper, staring into the distance with murderous eyes, without saying a word.
Chu Muhe felt the chill emanating from Chang An, and he didn't dare to ask him what was on the letter, so he just continued to drink on his own.
Looking down from the field of view of Chang'an and Chumuhe, several teams of officers and soldiers of the state capital could already be seen rushing to the west gate from various parts of the city.
Chu Muhe got up and touched the longbow behind him, his eyes becoming fierce
"Master Chang, it's time to get down to business."
Chang An also looked at the officers and soldiers who were rushing away, nodded slightly, and took another sip of wine to himself.
Chu Muhe's figure kept jumping between the buildings, heading towards the west city gate.
"In Liangzhou City, how can you be presumptuous!"
Several Liangzhou generals in armor led their troops to attack the west city gate, and with the Chumu River to the city wall, looking down at the Jianghu people fighting under the city tower, a large number of archers suddenly appeared on the nearby buildings, as if they were ambushed here.
Chang An's face changed, he clenched the wine jar in his hand, and then slowly let go, his eyes locked on the city gate, paying attention to the development of the situation.
At the gate of the city, the battle of the people in the rivers and lakes has entered a white heat, and everyone sneered when they heard the arrival of the officers and soldiers of the state capital.
"The people from the government also want to come and get involved?"
Someone said coldly.
Chu Muhe raised his bow coldly
"This is a royal thing, so hurry up and get away!"
In response to him, it was a sharp arrow, which came straight to the door in front of him, Chu Muhe caught a glimpse of the sharp arrow, he turned sideways slightly, the right hand that pulled the string was slightly released, and the arrow feathers that had already been placed on the string shot out steadily.
"Smack!"
The arrow feather accurately blocked the sharp arrow, and both fell.
But at this time, several Jianghu people have jumped up to the city tower.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh! ”……
Above the building, dozens of arrow feathers were fired together, directly covering those Jianghu people, but those Jianghu people are not easy people, they are vigorous, they have dodged those arrow feathers, after all, two or three people fell into the city tower with arrows, and the remaining four or five people dodged the arrow feathers, and then directly besieged the Chumu River.
At this time, under the city tower, the officers and soldiers of the state capital had already fought with the people of the rivers and lakes, and the scene became more chaotic for a while.
Chang An stared at the city tower, and saw that Chu Muhe was besieged by several people, and the archers in the distance shot the first round of arrows, and the second round of arrows was still in the future.
Chu Muhe's eyes were cold, at this time, on his bowstring, five arrow feathers had been mounted, and there was no way to retreat, his toes tapped the ground, and with a "Teng" sound, his body had already jumped high, and his whole body was in the shape of an arch bridge, and the five arrow feathers in the air were coldly pointed at those Jianghu people.
A moment later, five streams of blood splashed on the city tower, Chu Muhe landed steadily, and all the people who besieged him were killed, but before he could catch his breath, eight more people jumped to the city wall, looking at Chu Muhe with fear.
"This guy is the leader of the archers, kill him first anyway!"
Under the tower, someone shouted to the eight people.
When the eight people heard this, their faces turned ruthless, and in the distance, several sharp arrows with the intent of killing hit the direction of the Chumu River, and with them, there were eight silver rays.
The archers in the distance gave up their goals under the city tower and wanted to cover Chu Muhe, but they were still far away, and the eight figures and several sharp arrows were already close in front of Chu Muhe's eyes.
Chu Muhe's expression remained unchanged, but he saw that he put away the longbow in his right hand, put his left hand into his arms, and then turned around beautifully, and as his figure turned, several silver rays seemed to emanate from his body, shooting towards all directions.
The eight people were still in the air, but they all fell to the ground, no longer alive, and the several sharp arrows also seemed to have encountered some collision and fell one after another.
Chang Anteng stood up and looked in the direction of Chu Muhe in surprise, because the distance was too far, he couldn't see what was going on at all, but he clearly knew that between the lightning and flint, Chu Muhe did use unknown means.
This is a battle that has lasted for nearly three hours, and the originally dark night sky is even slightly brightened, and this chaos has finally ushered in the end.
Zhuo Fengting's face was covered with blood, several parts of his body were cut, revealing terrifying blood marks, and even the flesh on the inside of the wounds in a few places was rolled up, but he was still smiling, because he was the final winner, not far away, Zhang Daoyun and Ye Siqing were lying on the ground, looking up at the sky silently, they didn't even have the strength to turn over at the moment, they could only watch Zhuo Fengting pick up the box.
The moment the box was held in Zhuo Fengting's hand, all the Jianghu people and the officers and soldiers of the state capital stopped and looked at him, someone wanted to snatch it, but Zhuo Fengting was quickly protected in the center by the people of Aoki Hall, and the master of Aoki Hall looked at everyone fiercely.
"Who dares to step forward!"
As he spoke, he looked at Zhuo Fengting again
"Feng Ting, let's see what's inside."
Zhuo Fengting nodded slightly, and slowly opened the box, at this moment, everyone held their breath, and watched directly as the box in Zhuo Fengting's hand was opened, and even Ye Siqing and Zhang Daoyun looked there with a smile.
Just when Zhuo Fengting looked at the box with anticipation, the scene in front of him made his face change greatly
"Empty!"
Zhuo Fengting roared angrily, his face kept changing, disappointed, surprised, angry and all kinds of emotions filled his mind, his face was bruised, and he slammed the box to the ground.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned for a while, and then instantly turned into anger.
They have been ambushed in the wilderness in the grass for days, suffering so much, and dying so many people, just for an empty box?
And those state government officials and soldiers were also excited, and Chu Muhe, who led tonight's operation, also looked at the box coldly and remained silent.
Some people looked around, looked hesitant, and slowly retreated from the crowd, and then, more people left the city gate, and it didn't take long for the people at the city gate to start evacuating.
And those officers and soldiers of the state capital also watched all this coldly.
After a long time, Chu Muhe gave an order
"Leave a team to clean up the scene, and the rest retreat!"
Thousands of officers and soldiers of the state capital, under the command of their respective generals, returned along the same road in an orderly manner.
When everyone dispersed, there were only dozens of officers and soldiers at the city gate who were disposing of the corpses, but Chang An quietly arrived.
His figure swept over the heads of the officers and soldiers, and without them noticing, he floated lightly towards the tower.
Eight corpses were lying quietly on top of the city tower, Chang An approached to investigate, he opened one of the corpses, and came on his back, the man's eyebrows were pierced by a very small steel needle, although his eyes were scattered, but the corners of his mouth were slightly downturned, and his expression was still with fierce killing intent, he didn't even have a surprised reaction, and he was killed directly.
Chang An opened the rest of the corpses, and he could find such wounds on their bodies, which reminded him of Fu Rushui, and when he inspected Fu Rushui's body that day, he also found similar wounds.
It seems that Fu Rushui did not die at the hands of Qu Fengzhi, Chang An looked at the direction of Chu Muhe's departure with a solemn face.
And Qu Fengzhi should have also discovered the wound on Fu Rushui's neck at that time, so when Zhao slowly entered the inn, he would behave so crazy, from his point of view, the City Lord's Mansion was already on the opposite side of him at that moment.
The eyebrows stretched, Chang An stood on top of the city tower, quietly looking down at Liangzhou City, all this has gradually become clear.
Under the tower, more than a dozen officers and soldiers were carefully cleaning the battlefield, but at the same time
"Boom!" "Boom! "Boom! ”……
They were each hit in the back of the head by a small rock and fell straight to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Chang An's figure gently landed beside them, holding a small stone in his hand, he glanced at the officers and soldiers on the ground, and then slowly walked towards the city gate.
At the gate of the city, the thick rope with the box hanging had broken and swayed in the wind.
Chang An carefully observed the break of the thick rope, although the box had been taken away by Chu Muhe, what Chang An wanted to know more was how the box was broken.
The break of the thick rope spread out in the form of hair, and there were a few scattered threads twisted together, and they were of different lengths, as if they had been broken by a sharp object that had burst in.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and after all, there was still the result he didn't want to see.
After being silent in place for a long time, he stepped on the moon, and with light steps, he ran on the green tiles, constantly changing directions.
Not long after he left, the officers and soldiers who had fallen to the ground slowly woke up, touched the back of their heads with painful expressions, looked at each other, and looked around, but found nothing.
What happened to me just now?
This is the common doubt in their hearts at this time.
After touching a stick of incense, Chang An stopped and fell to the ground.
In the south of the city, there was an empty Yizhuang in front of the gate, and it seemed that no one had come since they left Yizhuang yesterday.
"Squeak"
He gently pushed open the door and walked into the compound again, looking at the dead leaves all over the ground and the coffins scattered in the courtyard, he walked forward slowly.
He found out during the day that an evil formation had been laid in this compound, but what caught his attention even more were these coffins in the courtyard.
Of course, the coffin itself doesn't matter, it's what is in the coffin that matters.
"Bump!"
He pushed out with the wind, and a large number of dead leaves were raised in the calm courtyard, and then, the coffin in front of him shook violently, and the coffin lid kept tumbling in mid-air, and finally fell to the ground next to it.
Chang An's eyes were slightly cold, and he looked at the coffin, which was empty.
His expression remained unchanged, which was not surprising to him, but he noticed that there were some residual blood stains in the coffin, at least to prove that there was something in the coffin.
His palm power continued to be pushed out, and the lids of the remaining dozen or so coffins were detached from the coffin one after another.
His gaze scanned a dozen coffins, as he expected, several more empty, but there were also a few coffins in which dry corpses were stored.
But the coffin in the farthest distance caught his eye, because there was a head inside!
But this did not surprise him either, and what surprised him most was that he knew the head.
It was two months ago, the bookkeeper who was driven away by his wife because he hid private money, Lao Zhou!
