Chapter Eighty-Five: Rumors Spread
"Brother Lin, what do you think. Yu Zhong asked.
"After Brother Yu mentioned this, I think you are not wrong in considering a few points. Lin Hui replied.
It's just that now all their doubts seem to have only one person who can answer them, and that is Helan Que. Whether it is the tragedy of the Bai family ten years ago, or the obstruction they encountered along the way, or all the farces after entering Xijing Mansion, they are inseparable from the Helan family.
"It seems that the key points of the matter now are concentrated in Helan Que, if we want to solve the mystery of the whole thing, we can only start from him. Lin Hui said.
"I had already fought him that night, and I could tell from his knife that he had no murderous intent. Even if he can't see the path of my martial arts, he can at least see Peng Sange's martial arts, if he is really the murderer back then, do you think he will let us go?" Yu Zhong said sharply.
"I don't think it's a bit dangerous to think like this, Brother Yu, you are gambling. Lin Hui said.
"Even if it's gambling, I think my chances of winning are pretty big, hehe. Yu Chong lit up the sword in his hand and said with a smile.
"But to be honest, you two are really amazing to be able to escape from Helan Que's knife. Lin Hui said with praise.
"Brother Lin, what we say here today is only known to the two of us, so don't tell anyone else for the time being. Yu Zhong said.
"Don't worry, Brother Yu, I will keep it secret, since the incident of Ge Yun's rebellion, I am also very cautious now. Lin Hui replied.
Now for Yu Chong, it is how to contact Helan Que, if he is the real murderer, how to deal with it, if he is not the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the whole thing, then who is the real murderer?
Yu Zhong didn't know if his reasoning was correct, but he had a faint feeling in his heart that everyone was being led by a behind-the-scenes hand in the whole thing. Now we have to find a way to take the initiative back.
"Hall Master, someone from the Helan family sent a letter over. A Red Gang disciple shouted at the door.
"Come in. Lin Hui said.
He took the letter from his disciple's hand and read it with a solemn expression.
"Brother Lin, what's wrong, what did the letter say?" Yu Zhong asked.
"Helan Que, make an appointment with us at noon the day after tomorrow to meet in Rosemary Valley. Lin Hui handed over the letter.
"Could there be any problems in this? Yu Zhong read the letter and said worriedly.
"It might be a good opportunity to get in touch with him. Lin Hui said.
"It can also be a dangerous trap. Yu Zhong reminded.
"What kind of medicine is sold in his gourd, then you can only know on a trip. Lin Hui said with a smile.
Crane Garden.
Helan Que held a letter in his hand and pondered for a long time.
"Alliance leader, whose letter is this?" asked Helan Ziqing on the side.
"The letter from the Red Gang asks us to go to Rosemary Valley at noon the next day, and asks me to go alone. Helan Que said.
"How can this work, what if it's a trap?" Helan Ziqing said.
"Joke, I, Helan Que, have been all my life, and I have always been above board, so what is there to be afraid of. Helan Que is colorful.
"No, at least let me bring a team of cronies with me, just in case. Helan Ziqing said.
"It's okay, Ziqing, if I want to leave, do you think anyone can keep me. Helan Que said.
As the leader of the martial arts alliance, the first sword in the world, he is still quite confident in his martial arts, and he has experienced countless bloody storms in his life before finally standing at the top of this martial arts.
"Okay, since you insist, I won't say anything more, if there is nothing else, I will retire first. Helan Ziqing replied stupidly, turned around and left, a strange light in his eyes was fleeting.
"Have you heard? I heard that the leader of the alliance was the culprit in the tragedy of the Bai Bai Jun family. ”
"No, where did you hear that?"
"Thinking about it, it's actually possible, it was Helan Zixia who defeated the Heavenly Sword Earthquake Eight Desolations during the day and took away the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. ”
"It is said that the recent turmoil in the house is all because of the events of the year, and the descendants of the Bai family have united several major forces such as the Red Gang and Tiger Roaring Heights to find trouble with our Helan family. ”
"If that's the case, it seems like it's really possible that our alliance leader is at his disposal. ”
"With so many forces in the rivers and lakes united, can the Helan family hold on?"
"It seems that we must hurry to find our own way out, lest the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond will be affected. ”
Suddenly, in the Helan family, rumors spread, like a spark becoming more and more like a prairie fire, and the entire Heyuan was panicked, and it spread throughout the entire Xijing Mansion in an instant.
Of course, these words also reached the ears of the Red Gang.
"How can this kind of talk suddenly spread outside, we are still investigating, who the hell let this out?" Yu Zhong said.
"It shouldn't be our people, as for who spread it, I'm afraid it's difficult to verify, this kind of rumors in the rivers and lakes spread very quickly, and I'm afraid it will spread throughout the entire martial arts in a few days." Lin Hui said.
"We're going to meet Helan Que the day after tomorrow, and I have a bad feeling that this kind of rumor suddenly came out at this time. Yu Zhong said with a frown.
"I asked the brothers to investigate, and it was not necessarily for nothing. Lin Hui thought.
In the teahouse, Bai Li made an appointment with Uncle Cheng to meet.
"Uncle Cheng, the rumors on the street recently were probably spread by you. Bai Li asked.
"The eldest lady is really smart, and it is the news I put out. "Uncle Cheng is still wearing a hat.
"Then the appointment in Rosemary Valley the day after tomorrow, was it also arranged by Uncle Cheng?" Bai Li took a sip of the tea in front of him.
"That's right, I sent a letter to the Helan family and the Red Gang, this is a great opportunity to lure Helan Que out of the city and avenge the eldest lady's family. Uncle Cheng said, clenching his fists.
"Uncle Cheng, if we do this, will my father be happy in the spirit of heaven?" Bai Li said abruptly, as if there was a sense of retreat in his tone.
"Miss, things are only one step away from success, we can't be kind to women, think about your tragic death of your family, do you still think that such a cruel murderer as Helan Que has something to be pitied?" Uncle Cheng asked.
Bai Li was silent for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "Uncle Cheng, what you said makes sense, we have no way out." ”
"Don't worry, Miss, I've already arranged everything, and this time it will definitely be successful. Uncle Cheng said confidently.
Not far from the teahouse, two people were staring at Bai Li and Uncle Cheng.
"No wonder the eldest brother let us stare at the white girl, there is really a problem. It was Yu Rong who spoke.
"Sister Bai actually has something to hide from us, it's really heart-to-heart. Feiyan on the side said while knocking melon seeds.
"Nine times out of ten, this mysterious person is the mysterious killer. Yu Rong said.
"I can't figure it out, we were originally here to avenge Sister Bai, why did she still have contact with this mysterious person. Feiyan tilted her head and said.
"Whatever, let's just stare at the white girl, as for the reason for this, let's leave it to the eldest brother to investigate. Yu Rong said.
"Little brother, do you eat melon seeds?" Feiyan said with a smile and handed over a handful of melon seeds.
Five miles outside the city, Peng Zhaonian stood on a horse, looking from a distance, and the sky was full of smoke and dust in front of him.
In the smoke and dust in the sky, I vaguely saw a large group of people and horses galloping towards us. The "tiger" flag fluttered in the wind, and it was Zhu Peng who was the leader.
The team stopped in front of Peng Zhaonian.
"Zhu Peng has seen the third brother, and on the order of the third brother, I brought five hundred brothers to support. Zhu Peng said with his hands clenched into fists.
"I've seen the third brother!" the shouts of the brigade were deafening.
"The brothers are working hard, there are too many of us to enter the city, I have asked the brothers of the Red Gang to arrange a place for everyone to live outside the city. Peng Zhaonian said.
"Everything depends on the arrangement of the third brother, how are these days, the owner of the village is okay. Zhu Peng asked.
"I'll talk to you slowly on the way, brothers, let's go. Peng Zhaonian replied.
The brigade of Tiger Roaring Heights followed Peng Zhaonian to the temporary station.
Yin Yamen, Xijing Prefecture.
Long Gongzi was shaking a folding fan and playing Go with Qing Shao in the courtyard.
"Young master, it seems that there is something unpeaceful outside these days. Qing Shao said.
"Your sense of smell is becoming more and more sensitive, and it seems that you will come out with me this time, and you will not be in vain. Long Gongzi held the chess pieces in his hand and looked at the chessboard and replied.
"Shall we just let it go, won't something big happen?" Qing Shao said.
"Hey, look at what I'm going to do, haha. Long Gongzi settled the chess pieces and said with a smile.
"Young master, no, I didn't see this, you are taking advantage of my unpreparedness. Qing Shao said.
"How can you regret this, who let you not see it. Long Gongzi said.
"That's not right, why am I missing a chess piece, young master, are you stealing chess. Qing Shao suddenly found that he was missing a chess piece in a key position.
"Am I that kind of person, what nonsense are you talking about, hurry up, next game. "Long Gongzi said trickly.
Crane Garden.
Helan Que held the dragon and tiger golden knife, standing on the school grounds, surrounded by no one around.
In his eyes, there seemed to be a figure of Bai Jun, the golden knife dancing wildly, flying flowers all over the sky.
Ten years ago, also in the autumn like this, he and Bai Bai had a private invitation, and no one knew about that competition, and no one knew about the result.
With the passing of Bai Baijun, everything has also been sealed with time, if it weren't for this turmoil, maybe Helan Que would have buried this memory in the depths of his heart forever.
The source of all this should start from the martial arts conference that year. At that time, the head of the Helan family was still his eldest brother, Helan Zixia.
Once, there were two masters in the martial arts who were transcendent in swordsmanship and walked alone.
One person is the Heavenly Sword Earthquake Eight Desolations, Helan Zixia.
The other person is invincible in the world by virtue of the eighteenth style of the overlord sword.
