Chapter XVII

"I... I didn't say them, you heard them wrong. ”

The woman lowered her head in a panic, her eyes wandering.

"Really, that's my leave!"

Knowing that she was lying, Tang Qingshan decided to give her a little bit of power. Trick her into telling her, and maybe you can get some useful clues. He turned around and walked out the door.

"Wait!"

The woman's eyes showed a look of struggle.

"What if... I mean, what if... I'll tell you everything I know... Are you sure... Promise to save my life?"

Looking at the woman's painful expression, Tang Qingshan just nodded. In his heart, the woman was not a good person. Killing people to pay for their lives is justified! The reason why Tang Qingshan decided to help her. Because this may be the quickest way to solve the current dilemma. Uncle Ye's money could only make Ye Liuyun die for a moment and a half. However, the bell must be tied to the bell! In order to really rescue Ye Liuyun, the culprit must be found.

Seeing Tang Qingshan nodding, the woman let out a sigh of relief.

"Have you heard of Yuwen City Lord's only son, Yuwen Bei's illness?"

Tang Qingshan's eyes lit up, there was still a matter of the city lord here? Seeing that Tang Qingshan did not answer, the woman continued.

"The lord of Yuwen City has a son, and his wife died in childbirth. Therefore, he is particularly doting on his son. In the early years, in order to compete for the position of city lord, he did a lot of immoral deeds. There are many people who want his life openly and secretly. ”

The woman carefully considered her words, observing Tang Qingshan's reaction as she spoke.

"The City Lord's Mansion is heavily guarded, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to kill Yuwen Jianyuan. However, the little master has a pure nature, and whenever he has time, he will go out with a food box to give alms to the beggars in the city. Just a few years ago, the little master went out and didn't get out of the street yet. A woman rushed out of the alley, hugged the little master and ran. The subordinates, while chasing, called for the guards in the city. How noble the only son of the city lord is, I heard that the young master was robbed, and the masters in the city lord's mansion came out. In less than a quarter of an hour, the woman was blocked in Huaihua Hutong in the south of the city. ”

Seeing that Tang Qingshan was listening to himself carefully. The Pan woman's hand stretched out slightly behind the pillow.

"Woman, I wouldn't have done that if I were you. This is the second time and there is no next time. ”

The woman looked up, but she didn't know when. Tang Qingshan actually sat on the edge of the bed. Her face was pale and bloodless, and she quietly withdrew her hand again.

"At that time, the woman had no way to retreat under the siege of the people. However, the hand holding the little young master was clutched. Suddenly, the woman laughed. took out the medicine bottle in his arms, drank half a bottle himself, and poured half a bottle into the mouth of the little master. ”

I think that the half bottle should be the poison of the demon bite scorpion. Ignoring the woman, Tang Qingshan thought about it in his heart.

"The crazy woman died of poison at that time, and the little young master struggled because of his struggle. He didn't drink much poison, but he never woke up. The lord of Yuwen City offered a large bounty and hired a famous doctor in the city. When the treatment was fruitless, they began to kill innocents indiscriminately. About another two years later, there are very few people in the city who practice medicine. The little young master didn't wake up, and the Yuwen City Lord was anxious. It just so happened that a traveling master came to our Iron Floating City. It is said that it didn't take long for the master to heal the little young master. However, the city lord of Yuwen rarely went out from then on, and the affairs of the city were also managed by Zhuang Yu. ”

Hearing this, Tang Qingshan's body was murderous and wanton. The muscles of his hands burst out, and his fists clicked. The woman thought that the man in front of her had a grudge against the lord of the city, but she did not dare to say anything more when she said this.

"And then?"

Tang Qingshan squeezed out these three words from between his teeth.

Then Zhuang Yu's power became more and more powerful, and he drank all day long. Then he came to me. I became what you see now. Now the City Lord and the Master are jointly in charge of the Iron Floating City, but neither of them shows up. It's just that Zhuang Yu takes care of the big and small affairs in the city. Zhuang Yu told me that the master ordered him to control Wantong Tower and Sumeru Fang. If I want to live, I have to cooperate with him. As soon as Ye Liuyun dies today, Tiefu City will be peaceful in the world. If you go to confront him now, you will offend the city lord and the master. I don't care how sure you are, I just don't want to die. Please, don't drag me into the water, I have no way out. I'll give you all the valuable things, you can leave quickly, you can't take care of the affairs of Tiefu City!"

The woman finished saying this in one breath, as if she had drained the strength of her body, and leaned on the head of the bed sickly.

"When you decide to kill your husband, Pan Danian, there is no way back. Don't go out. ”

This woman, Hongxing, went out of the wall and booby-trapped her husband. Tang Qingshan originally wanted to find a place to hide her first. However, he still has to hurry up to save Ye Liuyun now. Turned over and went to the house, running all the way. It's a waste of time to inquire about news here. Can't delay any longer, even if it's a hard break, you have to rescue him first.

After paying attention, Tang Qingshan decided to go to the City Lord's Mansion now. After a quick journey, he soon came to the City Lord's Mansion, hiding on the eaves and looking at the environment below. If you are not familiar with the place, there is no way to find out, it seems that you have to get into it first. Seeing someone coming from the opposite side of the corridor, Tang Qingshan flew down and jumped down. Detoured behind the man, and with a slight force on his wrist, he stunned the person. Dragged into the grass and quickly changed into his clothes. Tang Qingshan picked up the fruit plate on the ground and walked towards the hall.

In the hall, Zhuang Yu sat in the middle of the square. There was also an old man with crane hair and a childish face sitting beside him. The two talked happily, and there was laughter. Tang Qingshan glanced at it from a distance, quickly lowered his head, and walked briskly. I walked around the City Lord's Mansion and figured out the route of the City Lord's Mansion. Tang Qingshan slipped to the wall, tapped his toes, and flew out of the house.

When I returned to Ye's house, I asked the housekeeper in the house. Knowing that Ye Lao was resting in the bedroom, Tang Qingshan went directly to the old man's room.

"Uncle, I'm back. ”

When the old man saw that it was the young man who had returned, he immediately came to his senses.

"Little friend, do you have my son's whereabouts?"

Tang Qingshan sat beside the old man's bed.

"Uncle, there is no whereabouts of Brother Ye for the time being. But rest assured, I've got a bit of an idea about the whole thing. I believe there will be a result tonight. If I can't do anything, I will also find a way to rescue Brother Ye first. For the rest, we'll talk about it after we've saved people. ”

Listening to Tang Qingshan's determined tone, the old man felt a lot better.

"In that case, please bother with it. We must ensure that my family is safe and sound, and the great grace and virtue of Ye Lao'er will never forget. ”

Seeing that the old man was about to get up, Tang Qingshan hurriedly persuaded the old man to go back to bed.

"Uncle, I can't express myself well, but Brother Ye and I hit it off at first sight. I will do my best. ”

Out of the old man's house, he returned to the guest room prepared for himself by the Ye family. Tang Qingshan meditates and breathes, and he wants to be in the best condition. There is no substantial evidence to solve the dilemma at hand. Pan Danian's wife will not come forward to testify against the killer at all. It seems that there will inevitably be a fierce battle tonight, and Tang Qingshan is not easy in his heart. His own Demon Slaying Prison Fight has only practiced one layer, and the Phantom Fist is a relatively superficial means of fighting. Although the cultivation is acceptable, the means of attack are still too scarce. Touching his double hammer, Tang Qingshan quietly waited for the night to come.

The sun on the horizon hid in the mountains and forests to the west. Tang Qingshan stood up straight, with the double hammer behind him. Open the door and fly up to the roof. Looking at the dark night sky, my eyes are like electricity. Ye Liuyun, don't just die. Silently saying a word in his heart, Tang Qingshan exerted all his strength to calm the storm and flew towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit at this time. Tang Qingshan hid on the roof of the house, quietly waiting for the opportunity. Zhuang Yu was alone in the hall, but the master was nowhere to be seen. When he came in daylight, he did not see the lord of the city or his son. Now even the old guy is gone. When Tang Qingshan was wondering, Zhuang Yu had already gotten up.

"Let's all go down, I'm going to rest. ”

After instructing his subordinates, Zhuang Yu walked to the backyard alone. Coming to the backyard, Zhuang Yu saw that there was no one around, and walked quickly to the rockery. Spun a pot of azaleas next to the rockery. The water level of the waterhole in front of the rockery sinks rapidly, and after a while, a gate is revealed. Tang Qingshan's eyes widened as he watched him walk in.

No wonder I searched for a day without any clues, it seems that the secret is in the stone gate. For almost a stick of incense, I watched Zhuang Yu and a half-grown child walk out. Tang Qingshan lowered his figure and held his breath. This is not the child who was the other night ago! Tang Qingshan seemed to understand something, but he was a little confused. The child lowered his head and let Zhuang Yu pull him, and the two bypassed the rockery and walked out of the city lord's mansion through the back door.

Seeing that the two had already walked away, he flew down the room. Come to the rockery and turn the mechanism. The gate looms in the water, once again confirming that no one has found themselves. Tang Qingshan pushed open the stone door and walked into the darkness. After a while, Tang Qingshan adapted to the environment in the dark. In front of me is a staircase that winds downward. This is not so much a secret room as an abyss. In the darkness, Tang Qingshan walked down the steps carefully, and walked one hundred and twenty-five steps. Finally came down to the bottom.

Looking sideways into the cave, it was still pitch black. Tang Qingshan took off the double hammer and held it in his hand, and walked into the darkness step by step. Walk through the dark corridor with a large hall in front. In the center of the hall was a cauldron, and the flames at the bottom of the cauldron were wafting, and the cauldron was tumbling with a crimson liquid. Carefully looking around to make sure there was no one, he quietly walked towards the location of the iron pot.

"This little friend, I don't know it's so late, what are you doing here with me?"

The old man's voice echoed through the empty hall. Be calm! Tang Qingshan bit his tongue and overcame his fear of the unknown.

"What's the matter? Come to me as a guest and don't say hello?"

The voice came from behind Tang Qingshan! With a slap of his palm, he slammed his palm and slammed it out.

"Oh, trespassing on other people's land without their permission. It's not very proper for Xiaoyou to do this. ”

The old man's gloomy voice was drifting around again.

"Oh, I'm trespassing on other people's land, so is this your home?"

I didn't expect Tang Qingshan to say this, the old man laughed.

"Of course this is my home, I cured the little boy. The city lord promised to share this iron floating city with me!"

Listening to the old man's unbridled laughter, Tang Qingshan scoffed.

"It's just a trick of pretending to be a god! You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me! I have seen the only son of the city lord, and that child is full of ghosts, and I am afraid that he has already died. What do you want, demon?"

was told by Tang Qingshan, and the old man was not impatient.

"Oh, can you discover yin qi? So you're also a cultivator, since you're a fellow practitioner, let's talk well. Don't hurt your peace. ”

As he spoke, a faint green fire lit up all around. With the boiling cauldron in the center of the main hall, it is even more weird.

"Phew, who are your fellow practitioners? My generation's cultivation is aimed at slaying demons and eliminating demons, and doing things without being worthy of one's heart. You, a demon, are cultivating evil laws here, hurting the heavens and harming reason. Do you dare to compare yourself to me?"

The old man spoke politely, but Tang Qingshan was not polite at all. Because he had relieved the tension he had just come in. At this moment, I can see clearly what is boiling in the cauldron.

"This fellow Daoist! Don't talk nonsense! The old man travels all over the world, saving the dead and helping the wounded! How can you spew blood so much?"

There was a hint of anger in the old man's voice.

"Saving the dead?"

Tang Qingshan shook the cold iron and threw it towards the iron pot.

"Boom"

With a loud bang, the cold heart iron smashed directly into the pot. Vast expanses of blood flowed out of the hole.

"I didn't see the life-saving. You must be very good at eating people!"
