Chapter 280: Aggrieved
After Li Guan and Lu An returned to the City Lord's Mansion, they found that Li Mu had already returned, with a tired look on his face.
"City Lord, are you back so soon?" Li Guan said in surprise.
Li Mu glanced up and said with a smile: "Lu An is also here, I heard that you ran out last night?"
Lu An said unexpectedly: "How do you know about this city lord?"
"Naturally, someone saw you. Li Mu said this lightly, and then looked at Li Guan, "What did Lord Xiao say?"
Li Guan shook his head, "It's not clear, only one person was found, named Zhang He, who used to be Yu Linwei's second Jia, but I heard that he died two years ago." ”
"Yu Linwei came to kill Yu Linwei? It stands to reason that these people shouldn't all be Wei Wei's people?Why did this happen?" Hearing this, Li Mu also showed a puzzled face.
"By the way, the people from the Xiliang Sword Sect also appeared last night, and they seemed to have discovered Lu An, but later Xiang Shui helped stop them. Li Guan added.
Li Mu's brows tightened directly, and he said in great surprise: "Xiang Shui helps, are you sure?" After speaking, he looked at Lu An again.
Lu An nodded, "That's right, it was indeed him who helped, I went to see him last night, he talked to me, he is a person who is ashamed, but Zheng Qian and Zhou Yuguan were not killed by him, and there are indeed people who want to kill him." ”
"This... What did Master Xiao say?" asked Li Mu eagerly.
Li Guan shook his head, "I didn't say anything, I can only be sure that Xiang Shui is Wei Wei's person, and the rest of the things are not clueless at all." ”
Li Mu rubbed his brows, and said with an ugly face: "How can this be? I feel that this matter is becoming more and more uncontrollable, it was originally a game set up for others, but now how can I feel that someone else set up a game for me? And why did they kill such a person last night? I really can't figure this out!"
Seeing Li Mu's face gradually turn pale, Li Guan reminded in a low voice: "My lord, you better rest for a while, your body..."
Lu An also noticed this, and looked at Li Mu's increasingly pale face, and quickly reminded, "My lord, you really should take a good rest." ”
Li Mu shook his head, "In this situation, if you let me rest, I can't rest properly! How many people did you interrogate yesterday? Did you find any information?"
"There's no big news, it's just that those people seem to have mentioned something, I think it's a little strange, and I haven't checked it yet. Li Guan replied.
"What's the matter, why don't you check it out?" asked Li Mu puzzled.
Li Guan replied: "Several of them mentioned Fengqi Tower many times, saying that Luo Shou and Mi Ying often go there, of course, when they go, it is not just the two of them, but a large group of people go together, but many times it is proposed by the two of them." ”
"Fengqilou, are these people so energetic?" Lu An said with a smile.
"The adults treated them extremely favorably before, and all aspects were fully arranged, and those people had nothing to do, they were drinking and having fun all day long, and the most place to go was naturally Fengqilou, but this frequency was indeed a bit high, and they had to go there once every two days, and sometimes they stayed there all day, most of the time, they still paid less. Li Guan explained.
"Jing Ming?" Lu An's brows furrowed instantly, "This matter won't have anything to do with him, right?"
Li Guan shook his head and said uncertainly: "I told you about this matter, it was Jing Dashao who was in charge of this group of people before, and those people were just disobedient, in order to make them less trouble, Jing Dashao always took them to eat, drink and have fun, and among these people, Luo Shou and Jing Dashao had the best relationship, and He Liao was more disgusted with Jing Dashao, so he still often caused trouble." ”
After Li Mu listened, he also sighed helplessly, "This matter should still be asked by Jing Ming, now that Yu Linwei's people are dead, Zheng Qian and Zhou Yuguan, who you said before that gang of people, are also dead, so it seems that Jing Ming may also be in danger, send someone to protect them." ”
"Yes!" Li Guan nodded calmly.
Lu An asked a little nervously: "City Lord, are we a little too passive now?" It's like being blind, we don't know anything, we don't understand anything, we fall behind in everything, and the other party will strangle us to death." ”
Li Mu nodded, and said a little dejectedly: "Yesterday happened too suddenly, and the other party's response also made us a little overwhelmed, do you have any thoughts now?"
"City Lord, I want to talk to Xiang Shui again, I think he must know a lot of things. Lu An said seriously.
Li Mu glanced at Li Guan, and Li Guan nodded.
"In that case, then go ahead, but be safe, and don't trust it all. Li Mu instructed.
Lu An nodded, then said goodbye to the two directly, and left in a hurry.
After Lu An left, Li Guan directly said what he was worried about, "City Lord, the other party is acting so fearlessly, do you know that Lord Wu Xie is not here?"
Li Mu nodded, "Such an adult is here, if you give them a few more guts, they won't dare to do this, now it seems that that the Sword Saint is really not an outsider, he should also be an insider, just come to contain the adult." ”
Li Guan sneered directly, "The Sword Saint is Wei Wei's master, so it seems that Wei Wei must have invited him over, but he just used the Sword Saint to contain the adult, and then let Xiang Shui protect Lu An, isn't it a bit strange?"
"It's not a little strange, but it's strange, Wei Wei's goal should still be Lu An, the reason for doing this is probably to strip Lu An from the adult, could it be that he also wants to kidnap Lu An?" Li Mu said more and more frightened.
Li Guan shook his head and denied: "If that's the case, those people yesterday were definitely not Wei Wei's people, but they must be people related to Wei Wei." ”
Li Mu shook his head and said: "Okay, don't speculate anymore, no matter how much you say, it's better to catch one of the facts, go and inform Fan Chengde, let him put the entire Guofeng City under martial law, if anyone doesn't obey, kill all of them! Fengqilou and Jing Ming, you go and ask, but the attitude is slightly better." ”
Li Guan nodded and withdrew.
......
Lu An came directly to the small courtyard yesterday, and before he walked in, he found that something was wrong, his nose moved slightly, and a smell of blood came directly to his face.
After confirming that it was the smell of blood, Lu Anzhong suddenly tightened up, and rushed in directly, and what caught his eye was several corpses, and the entire courtyard was already dilapidated and full of messes.
Xiang Shui sat on the side covered in blood, panting slowly, and after seeing that it was Lu An, his expression softened a little, "Why are you?"
"Who are you?" Lu An asked puzzled, pointing to the corpse on the ground.
"It's not because of you, everyone thinks I have your news, and if the soft one doesn't work, the hard one will come, and then that's it. Xiang said quietly.
Lu An's expression became extremely strange, especially when these words came out of Xiang Shui's mouth, which made him a little unacceptable, and directly changed the topic and asked, "Do you know what happened last night?"
Xiang Shui nodded, "Yes." ”
"Did you do it?" Lu An asked directly.
Xiang Shui frowned and glanced at Lu An, and asked rhetorically, "Why do you ask that?"
"Because I really can't think of anyone else doing such a thing except you, and yesterday all the people of Yulinwei were killed by them. Lu An replied.
Hearing this, Xiang Shui stood up directly from the ground and repeated, "Yulin Wei is dead?"
Lu An nodded, "Well, it's all dead." ”
"Impossible!" Xiang Shui had a hint of horror on his face.
Seeing him exuding such a look, Lu An knew that Xiang Shui must know something, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know anything? What was their purpose yesterday?"
Xiang Shui shook his head, "I really don't know, yesterday's incident almost spread to me, it's too late to protect myself, where will I know this?"
"Impossible! Then what is the reason why you were so scared just now?" Lu An asked again.
Xiang Shui suddenly froze in place, frowned and thought about it, and shook his head like this.
Lu An was a little annoyed immediately, Xiang Shui's reaction, Lu An definitely didn't believe that he didn't know about this matter, and he might even know it clearly, but things had changed temporarily, which made him so surprised.
"Is the person named Zhang He with a scar on his eye also one of yours?" asked Lu An.
Suddenly hearing this name, Xiang Shui became even more panicked, "Did you see him?"
Lu An sneered directly, "Sure enough, you still say you don't know?
Xiang Shui suddenly panicked, and asked Lu An: "You said that he took someone to do it last night?"
Lu An nodded.
"Then why did they come to kill me?" A string of cold sweat broke out directly on Xiang Shui's face.
Now it was Lu An's turn to be shocked, "Kill you?"
Xiang Shui nodded, and said incoherently: "That's right, last year, at night, killed me, I thought it was just here! I didn't expect it to be them!"
"Who the hell are they!" Lu An was almost stunned by Xiang Shui, what he said was really unpleasant.
"Since you know that his name is Zhang He, you must have investigated him, right? He used to be Yu Linwei's person, so it stands to reason that Lord Wei is right, so Lord Wei wants to kill me?" Xiang Shui's voice suddenly became louder, and he suddenly questioned Lu An.
Lu An was taken aback by Xiang Shui's reaction, and scolded directly in his heart, "This person can't be crazy!"
The expression on Xiang Shui's face was still a little flustered, and he muttered unhurriedly, "How is it possible?" Obviously, Master Wei had already ordered it at that time, and I did a very good job, and even saved you once, why did you kill me? Is it because I look down on you? This was discovered by Lord Wei, and then he was going to kill me?"
Lu An was confused by Xiang Shui's words, and he couldn't understand what he was talking about at all, so he said loudly: "Zhang He is really Wei Wei's person? In other words, this matter was ordered by Wei Wei yesterday?"
Xiang Shui was about to speak, when there were suddenly a few movements outside the house, Lu An's whole person immediately became cautious, the meteoric iron sword was directly held in his hand, Xiang Shui was the same, holding the long sword, his face was extremely gloomy, and a blue short sword surrounded his hand.
"That's right, I used to be Yu Linwei's man, and I used to be Wei Wei's subordinate. A hoarse voice came directly from outside the house, and then walked in a middle-aged man holding a knife, his expression was extremely disdainful, and there happened to be a scar on his eye.
An ominous feeling directly lingered in Lu Anxin, saying what to say.
Xiang Shui asked directly, "You wanted to kill me yesterday?"
Zhang He smiled, "What's the matter, I'll kill you, do you have an opinion?"
"What's the matter, if you come to kill me, I have to lie down and let you kill?" Xiang Shui laughed angrily.
Zhang He nodded, "Anyway, the final result is the same, why waste this time? You are tired, I am also tired, it was just a matter of one knife, you must become a lot of knives, and in the end you will suffer even more." ”
After hearing this, Lu An directly snorted coldly with disdain, "Your words are inevitably too arrogant, aren't you?" Are you sure you will eat us?"
Zhang He glanced at Lu An and shook his head, "Don't worry, I won't kill you, Lord Han wants to talk to you face-to-face." ”
This sudden appearance of Lord Han made Lu An stunned again, "Lord Han? Isn't it Wei ashamed?"
"Wei is ashamed, hum, it's just a little bastard!" Zhang He spat with extreme disdain.
Every time Zhang He said a word, he would surprise Lu An once, and such a disdainful attitude towards Wei Wei made Lu An begin to wonder if the two had a grudge.
Hearing Zhang He scolding Wei Wei like this, Xiang Shui couldn't bear it anymore, shouted loudly, rushed directly with his sword, and the natal spirit sword blue water entrenched in his hand directly drew a thin blue line in the air, and slid straight towards Zhang He.
The Pu knife in Zhang He's hand was raised slightly, just blocking the blue water.
With a "ding", the blue water was shocked and flew out, but just now, Zhang He was also a little uncomfortable, his hand was also numb, and he shook his hand directly with a frown.
However, at this time, Xiang Shuiren had already arrived, and the blue long sword in his hand was like a drizzle, and he held it towards Zhang He, and a light blue rain curtain was directly formed in front of Zhang He.
Zhang He, who was entrusted with the big problem, had a very hard time coping, although he was a six-rank martial artist, but with mediocre qualifications, it had already taken him half a lifetime to climb to this realm.
But in terms of strength and weakness, Zhang He is really not necessarily Xiang Shui's opponent, one is an ordinary six products that grew up eating steamed buns, and the other is the best five realms that grew up drinking immortal wine, the gap of a whole realm may be wiped out like this, plus the blessing of the exercises and sword techniques, Zhang He may not be Xiang Shui's opponent.
Xiang Shui's attack like a mad demon directly made Zhang He embarrassed, and the clothes on his body suddenly turned into strips of rags, but fortunately, Liupin Wufu had rough skin and thick flesh, and Xiang Shui's sword could not hurt Zhang He, but every time the sword was cut up, it was still very painful.
Zhang He's anger between his eyebrows and feathers is getting bigger and bigger, and he has already begun to exchange moves for moves, and if he resists Xiang Shui's move, he will also make a knife once.
After being slashed twice, Xiang Shui also calmed down, directly withdrew his sword and retreated two steps, the blue rain curtain was also retracted, his left hand was raised slightly, and the blue water instantly shone with a little light, and the sword qi rose directly into the sky, and the blue water began to rotate rapidly.
Zhang He's whole face fused, and he directly raised the knife and rushed forward, and the white light on the knife also flashed.
Xiang Shui sneered directly, "Blue Death!"
The blue water in his hand disappeared in an instant, and then in the open space in front of him, dozens of thin blue lines directly appeared, directly enveloping Zhang He.
After the thin line was formed, the blue water dragging a long tail spike reappeared on Xiang Shui's fingertips.
This gorgeous scene directly made Lu An let out an exclamation.
Then Zhang He's screams directly attracted Lu An's attention.
After the thin blue lines in the air dissipated, more than a dozen blood marks appeared on Zhang He's body, and the blood slowly seeped out of his body, and in an instant, Zhang He became a bloody man, his legs were weak, and he knelt down on one knee directly.
Seeing that Zhang He was already like this, Xiang Shui was also relieved, put away the blue water, his face turned pale, looked at Lu An, and said extremely ostentatiously: "It's okay, right?"
Lu An nodded, I have to say that Xiang Shui's move is really dazzling.
After squatting for a long time, Zhang He stood up from the ground with a snort, and said with an unkind face: "Stinky boy, your fish-killing knife is quite sharp! It's a pity that it's not fast enough, so I just cut Lao Tzu's skin." ”
Xiang Shui took a deep breath, his expression was also a little solemn, "Since that's the case, let's do it again and see how thick your skin is!" As he spoke, the blue water appeared in the palm of his hand again, and the blue tail spike that kept falling down was extremely dazzling.
But Zhang He didn't give Xiang Shui a chance this time, the white light in his hand flashed, and he slashed forward, and the violent knife qi gushed out directly from the knife, and a long knife qi slashed directly at Xiang Shui.
Xiang Shui, who was already a little exhausted, had just lifted up, and before he even had time to reach out for his sword, the sword qi had already arrived, and it slashed directly on Xiang Shui's chest.
The clothes on Xiang Shui's body exploded directly, and then the whole person flew out, and an extremely obvious blood mark appeared on his chest.
Seeing that Xiang Shui was not dead, Zhang He touched his head and scolded in surprise: "Oh, you're still panting, can't you think that your kid's life is quite hard? Now let Lao Tzu make up for you again, and let you be honest, you see that you are going to be stabbed again now..."
At this time, Lu An directly blocked in front of Zhang He and stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Little Brother Lu, you better stay aside, don't get in the way here, and when I finish this matter, I will take you to see Lord Han. Zhang He didn't take Lu An seriously at all.
Hearing Zhang He's words, Lu An was a little speechless, and a resentment suddenly appeared in his heart, to be honest, he has been very aggrieved during this time, since he knew what Wei was ashamed of, Lu An has become more and more aggrieved, there is no place to attack, such a fool suddenly appeared in front of him, and at this moment Lu An finally couldn't help it!
Holding the scabbard in his left hand and the hilt in his right hand, he drew his sword violently, and a chilling golden sword qi slashed out directly from the scabbard.
Zhang He, who had never taken Lu An seriously, was taken aback by this sword qi, and the Pu knife in his hand was directly blocked in front of the sword light.
Then Zhang He's eyes were directly frightened, and his whole person was directly pushed back by this sword qi for two meters, and then this sword qi was unloaded.
"Good guy, I can't see that you are also a practitioner!" Zhang He spat directly on his hand, then rubbed it vigorously, and directly clenched the Pu knife with both hands, "Lord Han asked me to take you back, but I didn't say how to bring you back, with less arms and legs, it shouldn't be in the way, right?"
Lu An didn't answer himself, and the hundreds of sword qi around him helped Lu An answer his question.
