Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and things should be done one by one. The last thing Helian Jun, who had completed the task of teaching the exercises, was now to find out Feng Wanli. However, there is no way to complete this thing quickly, after all, people don't know where to run, and it is really an impossible task to find a person in the vast sea.

But fortunately, before Feng Wanli escaped, he left the biggest loophole, which was the assassins he sent. This group of assassins is really unlucky to say, it was originally a task to win nine times out of ten, but they actually ran into Helianjun, a group of Jindan monks, by the side of Hao Zhicheng and his son, otherwise it is really hard to say who will win or lose.

But at this point, they are helpless, anyway, everyone has already been arrested in the dungeon, and if they want to get out, it depends on whether the information they provide is useless.

The matter of interrogation, naturally, there is no need for Helian Jun and them to take action personally, and there are subordinates in the City Lord's Mansion who can help them complete this matter well. However, Hao Zhicheng was still a little distracted, and He Lianjun knew that he was thinking about how to tell the truth to the mother and son of the Wu family.

He Lianjun patted Hao Zhicheng on the shoulder and said, "It's been so long, the sooner you say it, the sooner you feel comfortable." Let's go, I'll go with you. Hao Zhicheng nodded silently, this time they didn't bring a watchman, leaving him to fight Shen Da and the others.

The two came to the bamboo forest of the Gu Mansion, and Hao Zhicheng lingered in front of the door for a while, still a little hesitant, and he hadn't figured out how to speak for a while. Originally, when he didn't know the truth, he could still face the Wu family's mother and son with peace of mind, but after knowing the truth, he, the person who indirectly killed Wu Qi, had no way to be calm no matter what.

Helian Jun shook his head, and dragged him directly into the gate, it happened that Wu Bai was tending to the flowers and plants in the yard, and when he saw the two of them coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Two uncles, my mother slept for a while just now, and her spirit is much better, and she is about to go to Xiaolou to find you two." ”

Hao Zhicheng was a little embarrassed, and stumbled and said, "Bai'er, this ...... Forget it, let's listen to it with your mother. ”

Wu Bai was a little puzzled, what was wrong, how could Hao Zhicheng look like something unspeakable, could it be that the cause of his father's death had been found out? Without thinking too much, he led the two into the living room, and then turned around to invite Mrs. Wu.

Hao Zhicheng was sitting on pins and needles on the chair, his forehead was a little sweaty, and Helian Jun was a little blind, and said: "You should be more stable! You don't mean to harm Wu Qi, you are all traitors, what do you have to do with it? If you really can't say it, I will do it on your behalf and help you say it!"

Hao Zhicheng was a little moved, and finally shook his head and said: "City Lord, this matter is still for me to talk about myself, after all, I caused it myself, and it has nothing to do with you." It can be regarded as an explanation to Lao Wu!"

After a while, Mrs. Wu entered the house with the support of Wu Qi, and after saluting the two of them, she sat on a chair and asked, "City Lord, Brother Hao, I wonder if the cause of Old Wu's death has been ascertained?"

Hao Zhicheng glanced at He Lianjun, organized the language, and was silent for a few breaths before saying, "Brother and sister, we have all understood this." Old Wu was indeed killed!"

Mrs. Wu's eyes were full of tears, she covered her mouth with her right hand, so as not to let her pain cry make too loud noise, and gasped for a while before asking, "What about ......it?" Big brother, who was he victimized by Lao Wu?, why did that person want to harm him?" His voice was full of grief and indignation, but he suppressed himself from showing it in front of others.

He Lianjun on the side couldn't stand it, and said: "Brother and sister, Lao Wu has been gone for so many years, you should also take care of your body, don't be too sad!"

Mrs. Wu turned a deaf ear, still staring at Hao Zhicheng. Hao Zhicheng couldn't match Mrs. Wu's eyes, dodged for a moment, and said in a low voice: "That murderer's name is Feng Wanli, and Lao Wu died in that person's conspiracy!" Fortunately, he broke the jar and broke it, and then said, "As for why it is Lao Wu, in fact, it is all a mistake! That person's target should have been me, but I don't like flowers and plants, and the potted plants sent to me didn't last long, so I transferred them to Lao Wu." That potted plant has the smell of attracting cryptoptera, so Lao Wu will be poisoned by cryptopterus!"

Mrs. Wu finally cried sadly, and Wu Bai hurriedly wiped away her tears and comforted her mother in a low voice.

Hao Zhicheng continued: "Brother and sister, I caused all this! If I hadn't given this potted plant to Lao Wu in the first place, Lao Wu would not have been harmed!"

Mrs. Wu cried for a while before she shook her head firmly: "Big brother, I know you are not feeling good now. None of us want to see Lao Wu's death, you have been friends for decades, and friendship is better than a brother even if it is not a brother! Presumably you will not want to see Lao Wu being harmed, all this is not your fault, you don't blame yourself!"

After comforting each other, the emotions of several people stabilized, and Mrs. Wu asked, "City Lord, eldest brother, why did that person want to harm the eldest brother? And he used such a lame method!"

Helian Jun shook his head and said, "Brother and sister, I've thought about this too, but I can't figure out what this person thinks for a while." According to common sense, sending a killer to kill me directly is the easiest and easiest thing to do, but there are endless troubles, so that person will definitely not do it. But the poisonous trick he secretly used five years ago didn't kill me, but killed Lao Wu, and he didn't move again. Now he actually sent a killer to assassinate me, and he himself ran away first. I don't know what this person is thinking, how can there be such a big change. ”

When Helian Jun heard this, he said: "Actually, it's easy to guess, that person must have felt that the world was full before, so he wanted to see if he could poison you unknowingly, and not affect himself." Now I sent someone to assassinate you directly, it must be because there was not enough time, so I made this decision. And how could he, a rich man with a lot of money, abandon all the properties in the city and run away by himself? Someone must have instructed him behind this, and he was just a pawn who charged into battle!"

Wu Bai had some thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Two uncles, in fact, when my father was alive, he once said that there were many spies sent from other places in this city, but he felt that these spies were just inquiring about the news, and they were not carefully cleaned up. However, he did mention two sentences to this person named Feng Wanli, saying that this person is an old and cunning person, and he doesn't know what he is secretly doing, but his intention is too obvious, but the force behind it, even my father can't detect it, so it's a big force. "When Wu Qi was the city lord of Hao Zhicheng, he was in charge of the family members in the city and the spies in the secret, but on the surface he was just a martial arts teacher, but secretly he was an intelligence chief. He knew all the big and small spies in the city, but a few of them were either cultivators or other big forces that were far away from here, so even if Wu Qi wanted to find out, there was no way to do it.

Since Wu Qi died, the spies in the city have been handed over to Wu Bai, which can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business, and Hao Zhicheng trusts the Wu family father and son very much, Hao Tong naturally grew up with Wu Bai since childhood, and the two are naturally close. As for why he didn't give it to Hao Zhicheng's other children, according to Hao Zhicheng's thoughts, it was because he was a gift from Helian Jun to be the lord of the city, but Wu Ke didn't get any benefits, so he wanted to give some compensation in other aspects to comfort Wu Ke's father and son.

Helian Jun was a little moved, and asked, "How many spies are there from other families in the city, and where did they all come from?"

Wu Bai replied: "Uncle Helian, there must be seventy or eighty spies in this city, and after removing more than fifty of our own people, the remaining dozen or so people are from the surrounding small cities and follow the traveling merchants." As for the three unidentified people, except for one who clearly knew that the cultivator who was standing behind him was the cultivator five hundred miles away, the other two did not know the origin. Among them, there is this Feng Wanli. ”

After a pause, he continued: "It's also a shame to say, when he escaped five days ago, the spies in the city sent me a message, but I thought it was a good thing for a spy to withdraw from the city, so I didn't send anyone to stop it. And I think that even if it is blocked, it may not be able to be stopped, and it is better to let him leave if he loses his strength in vain. Unexpectedly, this person is actually the real murderer who killed my father!" As he spoke, he hammered his thigh and said with some hatred, "Don't let me meet him in the future, otherwise he will be crushed and scattered!"

Mrs. Wu patted her son and said, "Bai'er, don't be so reckless, since that person has a vicious mind, he must have strange skills and tricks, if you are alone, you still have to be careful!"

Helianjun said: "By the way, since you said this, brother and sister, I still have an idea, how about you say it?"

Mrs. Wu nodded, leaning in her ear to listen.

Helian Jun said: "Brother and sister, you also know that I came back here from Sanqing Palace to find disciples for the palace. It just so happens that I think Bai'er is good, and it is suitable for him to embark on cultivation, I don't know what you think?"

Mrs. Wu was surprised and delighted, and said, "City Lord, is my son really okay?"

Wu Bai hesitated a little and said, "Uncle Helian, if I go to you, won't there be no one to take care of my mother......?"

Hao Zhicheng hurriedly said on the side: "Silly boy, what are you talking about! Since your Uncle Helian has brought it up, it means that your father's enmity has already been counted." If you are successful in your cultivation, it will not be easier to solve this little thing. Moreover, isn't your mother here to take care of me?"

Helian Jun said: "Zhicheng, have you forgotten something? Aren't you going back to Sanqing Palace with me? Are you going to change your hexagram? Are you unwilling to give up the glory and wealth here?"

Hao Zhicheng patted his head: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot about it! City Lord, since even a bad old man like me can go to Sanqing Palace to retire, wouldn't it be the same if I brought one more brother and sister?"

He Lianjun smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's what I meant." My Sanqing Palace is not so unreasonable as other sects, human ethics is also the way of heaven, and people in cultivation cannot abandon their families and children, that is not the right way. So I'm just going to take you all to the Sanqing Palace, where the climate is pleasant, and the aura is sufficient, and prolonging life is not a problem. And......" His ears moved slightly, and he paused.

Then he turned to Wu Bai and said, "And if you follow me back to Sanqing Palace, maybe it will be easier to find that person named Feng Wanli." ”

The other three were a little puzzled, and Wu Bai asked, "Uncle Helian, why do you say that? Could it be that Feng Wanli will run away to a place a million miles away?"

Helian Jun shook his head: "Not necessarily. This Feng Wanli is just an ordinary person, so he will not waste his life to go to the hinterland of the North Sea. But the person behind him may be encamped in the hinterland of the North Sea!"

Hao Zhicheng hurriedly asked, "City Lord, do you already know the news of the person behind Feng Wanli?"

Helian Jun said: "It's already eight or nine! Just now, my son sent me a message saying that the results of the interrogation had come out, and that group of assassins had no useful news. However, my son found something familiar from them, and if we are not mistaken, this incident was directed by that force behind the scenes. "That's right, if Helian Jun and they guessed correctly, the person behind this Feng Wanli should still be Lingyin Building.

Then, Helianjun briefly told the three of them about the entanglement between Sanqing Palace and Lingyin Building, and many details were mentioned in one mouth, but they also talked about it for half an hour.

After listening to this, Hao Zhicheng was puzzled, and said: "City Lord, listen to your introduction, this Lingyin Building should be a powerful cultivation sect, how could it be that we have such a small place as Star City, and it is also a small island with thin spiritual energy." ”

Helian Jun waved his hand: "I don't know about this matter, but I heard my senior brother say that this Lingyin Building should be to integrate all the human races and bring all the overseas human races under the rule." But there are more purposes than we can guess. ”

Wu Bai was a little excited in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that his strength was still too weak now, he couldn't wait to rush to the territory of Lingyin Building to kill now.

Helian Jun looked at him with a smile and said, "I know that you are very angry now, you can't look at this kind of power that cares for human life, and you have killed your father." But even my Sanqing Palace, I still haven't figured out how deep the water in this Lingyin Building is. If you want to avenge your father, follow me back and practice hard, and when your cultivation reaches the Yuan Infant Stage, you may be able to deal with this Lingyin Tower. And with you alone, even if it is the Jindan period, it will be difficult for you to achieve it, let alone avenge Lao Wu. ”

Wu Ke nodded silently, pressed the thoughts stirring in his heart, and calmly made up his mind: In his lifetime, he must step through the Lingyin Tower of this Laoshizi and avenge his father.
