Chapter 34 New Clues
Tang Da asked softly, "Have you ever wondered why the Black Armor Guards would come to rescue us at the right time when we were in distress in the valley?"
Ye Feng shook his head, he really hadn't thought about it.
Tang Da smiled: "As far as I know, that's because Chang Wuyi, the chief arrester of the Criminal Department, rushed to Xi'an City, and as soon as he arrived in Xi'an, he met Tang Yu and Tang Rou, who I sent to Xi'an City to move rescue troops, and then they went together to meet Ma Jing, who was stationed in Xi'an to lead the Black Armor Guard, Chang Wuyi took out a letter from your father and asked him to send troops to help." ”
Ye Feng was stunned: "My father's letter?"
Tang Da nodded: "Yes, it can be seen that our actions and your father in distress have always paid attention, and he still cares about you very much." But because Chang Wuyi did not have the emperor's edict or talisman to transfer troops, Ma Jing did not dare to mobilize the army, so he could only send a hundred black armor guards to follow them to Huashan in the name of escort, and if there was any news, he would mobilize the army. Tang Yu and the others happened to see the fireworks signal I sent out after they arrived at Huashan, and they appeared in the valley at the right time. I think your father, Lord Ye, originally planned to use the Black Armor Guard army to suddenly besiege Huashan, so as to completely annihilate the elite of the Great Thunder Gate, but unfortunately he didn't expect Ma Jing to be so timid and cautious, and only sent a hundred people, which not only put us in danger, but also allowed most of the elites of the Great Thunder Gate to escape. ”
Ye Feng's face changed slightly: "Originally, we were just bait to lure the Great Thunder Gate?"
Tang Da shook his head: "You can't say that." After all, you are his only son, and he will not let you take risks easily, and he has minimized all the dangers that may occur. It's just that there are too many unpredictable variables before and after this time, except for the mysterious gray man, Meng Daoping's betrayal, and the Great Thunder Gate almost attacked with all his might, and even Lei Potian personally went out, everything changed too quickly beyond his initial expectations, and the mobilization of the black armor guard should be the fastest response he could make. ”
Tang Da paused and continued: "But Chang Wuyi's actions after this are a little strange. He is the first master of the criminal department, his father's predecessor is the head catcher Chang Mantian is a famous fast sword on the rivers and lakes, when a sword broke the seven stars, he is the only one who has broken my Tangmen Tianmang Seven Stars master, his fast sword is also from his father's true biography. But he didn't catch up with Huashan to help, but went directly to the direction of Songshan. Although Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department, disagrees with your father's political views, he has not yet become a political enemy, and Chang Wuyi, a small chief catcher, does not dare to see death and not save him, unless he has more important urgent matters. ”
Ye Feng knew that Tang Da must have made a discovery: "What's the matter?"
Tang Da said in a solemn tone: "I sent someone to check, Chang Wuyi went to Xi'an to read all the case files of the seventeen people killed by the gray-clothed man, and then set off directly to Songshan, so I re-checked the case files of these seventeen people, and found that six of them were from the Great Lei Sect, eight were from my Tang Sect, and the remaining three were strange." ”
Ye Feng couldn't help but feel ashamed, he had read the case files of these seventeen people many times, but he didn't find this.
Tang Da continued: "On the surface, these seventeen people all died from their own proud martial arts, the people of the Tang Sect all died under the hidden weapons, and the people of the Great Thunder Gate all died from firearms or heavenly thunder palms. And these three people are all swordsmen of the well-known side, they all died under the sword, and they also belonged to the Tang Sect or the Great Thunder Gate forces before their deaths, and they all seem to be the killing style of the gray-clothed people, but after careful inspection, I found that these three people all received the same invitation before they died. ”
Ye Feng asked, "Whose invitation is it?"
Tang Da's expression was solemn: "Songshan Tingtao Villa." ”
Ye Feng's face changed. This is a place that everyone knows in the martial arts, the old owner Lin Suifeng broke the three-talented sword array of the three elders of Wudang with a sword, Wudang gave away the ancient sword of the pine pattern of the treasure of the town faction, and was praised as the first swordsman in the world by the whole martial arts, and has since become the goal of the world's swordsmen and even the people who practice martial arts. Later, he was forced to become famous and fortune, and founded Tingtao Villa in the dense forest of Songshan Mountain, concentrating on the study of swordsmanship, never setting foot in the rivers and lakes, and having no quarrel with the world. It is rumored that the villa has collected a large number of sword books from ancient times to the present, which is tantamount to a rare treasure for a swordsman, and the people in the martial arts are also proud to be invited by the Listening Tao Villa. Lin Suifeng should be nearly seventy years old now, how could such a respected old man have anything to do with these bloody murders?
Tang Da looked at Ye Feng's surprised face and said, "I know what you're thinking. No one wants to believe that the world's number one swordsman will have something to do with the bloody case, but this is the only clue we have at the moment, and Chang Wuyi has gone. Your body can move freely after two days of recuperation, although there is still residual poison in the body, you can't use martial arts in vain, but it shouldn't be a big problem to rush. I will set off tomorrow to pick up the divine doctor Cheng Sansi, and then you will set off and go straight to Songshan, and I will go directly to Tingtao Mountain Villa with the divine doctor to meet you. Chang Wuyi is a well-known cool official, ruthless, and unscrupulous. If you are here, you may be able to use the name of Jinyiwei to suppress him, so that there will be no trouble. ”
Ye Feng nodded, Chang Wuyi was ruthless, his reputation for indiscriminately killing innocents for investigating cases had long been famous all over the world, if he dared to mess around in the place of the number one swordsman in the world, this trouble would be a big one.
Tang Da pondered: "Just in case, I will let that old friend of the Tang Sect go to Songshan with you, presumably to ensure your safety on the way." ”
Ye Feng remembered that this person who could scare away Lei Potian must not be an ordinary person: "Who is he?"
Tang Da snorted: "You will naturally know when the time comes." Speaking of this, a strange look suddenly appeared on his face and looked at Ye Feng: "Tang Yu and Tang Rou are now running errands in Xi'an City, and I will ask them to rush directly to help you later." ”
Hearing this name, Ye Feng suddenly felt uneasy. From the time he woke up to now hear from her, he suddenly recalled a lot of memories, from the first sight of the fierce battle in the valley to the scene that appeared in front of him before he was poisoned and unconscious, and he never imagined that he would have the opportunity to see her again after escaping death. Ye Feng thought stupidly, and seemed to be a little dumbfounded.
Tang Da looked at his expression and smiled secretly, and stood up: "It's not too early, I'll go and prepare for tomorrow's departure, you can rest first." ”
Ye Feng said a few polite words, and Tang Da pushed open the door and left the room.
