Chapter 0241: The Missing Woman
Zhou Yuanwai's home is not difficult to find, as one of the three richest people in Shiyan Town, his mansion is also the largest building in Shiyan Town, located in the southwest corner of the town, richly decorated, not to mention the people in the town, even in the surrounding counties are very well-known.
Zhao Bufan and Zhu Lian rested in the inn for a few hours, and quietly came to the gate of the Zhou Mansion in the middle of the night.
In order not to alarm the family members and guards in the house, both of them were very careful, and jumped in lightly from the side door with light skills.
"Huh, what about the guards, didn't the people say that the Zhou Mansion was very well guarded?" Zhu Lian tried his best to suppress his voice, his tone full of doubts.
Zhao Bufan is also a little strange, it stands to reason that there should be guards on duty behind each door at night, but he didn't even see a ghost shadow when he jumped in, and after a closer look, he suddenly found that there were a few messy drag marks on the ground near the side door, and there were a few scarlet things.
He squatted down and took a closer look at the light of the lantern: "Lian'er, come over and see what these drops are, why do they feel like blood?"
Zhu Lian used to follow Zhu Bocai in the Imperial City Division, and he knew a lot of things, so he looked at it slightly, and immediately nodded: "This is indeed blood, and these drag marks are very similar to the traces of pulling out of the ground with both feet when people were dragged away." ”
Zhao Bufan's eyes lit up, and he walked a few steps to the southwest of the courtyard to find this trace, and came to the side of the garden, but saw that the trace disappeared, and he didn't want to think about it at the moment, so he pushed aside the dense flowers and plants.
In an instant, two dead people appeared in their eyes, lying upright, their eyes were round, blood was spilling from the corners of their mouths, they couldn't see what the cause of death was, but they both held knives in their hands, and they were dressed like a family guard.
Zhao Bufan's eyes gradually became solemn: "Could these two be the guards on duty at this side gate at night?"
"It's possible!" Zhu Lian came over, squatted down and groped for a long time on the two of them, gradually revealing a little surprise. "Both of them were killed in one move, they died from a very strong punch, there was no wound on the outside, but in fact, all the internal organs were shattered, and the internal strength of the murderer was very strong, and he was a rare master. ”
Zhao Bufan's face changed instantly: "Is it another mouthful?"
He was really nervous by the style of the ghost pawn before, and his first reaction was this.
Zhu Lian next to him suddenly lowered his voice and smiled: "How is it possible, no one knows about the two of us coming here, and Wanhualou can still be unpredictable?"
"That's just as well!"
Zhao Bufan thought about it and felt that Zhu Lian was right, but he was always a little unsteady in his heart, so he didn't say much at the moment, and quickly searched in the mansion.
The two shuttled through several courtyards in a row, and found that everything was normal, and there was a faint sound of sleeping snoring in many rooms, which did not look like they had been slaughtered, which made Zhao Bufan even more puzzled, and hurriedly rushed towards the inner courtyard where the master lived.
I didn't think that just lurking outside the arch leading to the inner courtyard, two black shadows suddenly burst out from inside, very fast, showing good light skills, and they were all black clothes and masks, and they couldn't see their faces at all, one of them was holding a knife in his left hand, and his right hand was holding a sleeping person, while the other was empty-handed.
The two black-clothed men seemed to be frightened by him and Zhu Lian, although they didn't make a sound, the stress reaction of their bodies was very obvious, and there was a faint sense of surprise in their eyes, but after just a few blinks, the empty-handed black shadow man directly punched him without saying a word.
At this time, Zhao Bufan had already determined that this black-clothed man with his fists should be the murderer who killed the guards of the side door, seeing that his fist strength was like thunder, and his martial arts were extremely high, he didn't dare to be careless in his heart, and quickly urged Taizu's long fist to meet him.
Between the lightning and flint, the two fiercely exchanged more than a dozen moves.
The man in black didn't seem to expect Zhao Bufan's martial arts to be ridiculously strong, and let out a low shout in a little panic: "You go first! I have never seen someone who beat Taizu Long Fist so terrifyingly, he practiced the finished Taizu Long Fist." ”
"Be careful yourself, I'll come and pick you up as soon as possible!"
The man in black with the knife quickly replied, and ran away with the sleeping man in his arms.
Zhu Lian hurriedly followed: "Where to run, put down people, and tell your origin clearly!"
At a glance, Zhu Lian chased and ran away, Zhao Bufan didn't care about fighting with the person in front of him, and used his own internal strength to cultivate a stronger advantage, forcibly shook the other party back, and ran with Zhu Lian when he mentioned light skills.
"What a strong internal force!" The man in black, who was extremely powerful in boxing, took seven or eight steps back to stabilize his figure, his eyes were uncertain, worried that his companion would be caught up by Zhao Bufan, and he was also running closely at the moment.
Although they were trying their best to suppress the sound, they didn't want to wake up the people of the Zhou Mansion, but they were still discovered by the guards with good martial arts in the Zhou Mansion, and they quickly rushed over, and saw several people with extremely high martial arts chasing them to the outside of the house, making an anxious roar.
Suddenly, the entire Zhou Mansion was boiling, and the guards on duty at night, as well as the family guards, all gathered with swords and sticks.
It's a pity that they were too late, the two men in black and Zhao Bufan chased each other and quickly left the Zhou Mansion.
The man in black with a knife ran in front with a person who fell asleep, Zhu Lian chased after him, Zhao Bufan followed behind Zhu Lian, and the man in black ran in a panic at the end, it can be said that one chased one, no one had the intention of giving up, even if he chased him down the street, he was still running fast.
Fortunately, it was the dead of night now, and the town was so deserted that no one could be seen, otherwise if you saw four people with such high martial arts chasing each other, you don't know what kind of commotion it would cause.
Soon, the four of them chased out of the town and came to the wilderness outside, although the man in black with a knife was also very good, but he was holding a person, which affected the speed after all. Seeing that he was about to be caught up by Zhu Lian, he suddenly stopped, threw the unconscious man aside, and turned around with a knife.
This knife is powerful and heavy, and the knife qi is condensed but not dispersed, it doesn't look so gorgeous, but it makes people vaguely feel the invisible domineering.
A touch of solemnity flashed on Zhu Lianqiao's face, and she suddenly drifted sideways between high-speed vertical leaps, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, gently avoiding the terrifying knife qi, her white hands condensed the true qi of the Nine Yin, which was as clear as white jade, with a strong piercing scream, and grabbed straight at the neck of the man in black.
"What a great claw skill!"
The man in black roared, his figure flashed rapidly, and the blade turned sharply, intending to force Zhu Lian back and distance themselves from each other.
How could Zhu Lian give him a chance, seeing the move, he was entangled in it.
Claw Gong is mainly based on hand-to-hand combat, which is far closer than the attack range of the sword technique, so only those who are close to the enemy have an advantage.
For a while, the two of them moved and leaped, each looking for an opportunity to defeat their opponents, although there was no head-to-head fight, but it was more dangerous, if the man in black was caught by Zhu Lian, it would inevitably be a broken bone and tendon, if Zhu Lian was touched by the knife qi, it would be needless to say.
Zhao Bufan, who arrived in a hurry, saw that the black-clothed man's sword skills were domineering, and he was definitely a top master, and he was worried that Zhu Lian would suffer because of his lack of fighting experience, so he roared suddenly: "Lian'er retreat!"
With the words, he hurriedly urged the Nine Turns of Golden Yang True Qi, and the eighteen palms of the dragon descended with the sound of the dragon's roar, and shot wildly.
To the masculine to the strong, fierce and unavoidable!
This is the eighteen palms of the dragon descending that have been practiced to the fullest, without too many fancy, and it is straightforward.
"Bang!"
The man in black forcibly withdrew the knife and used the knife surface to block his blow, and was shocked by the violent palm force on the spot, his body retreated two feet, turned around and fell to the ground, and exclaimed: "Eighteen palms of the dragon?"
The man in black with his bare hands just arrived, his expression changed sharply, and he shouted: "Who are you?
In an instant, Zhao Bufan was shocked in his heart, followed by a move towards the swordsman, Kang Long Youregret hurriedly drifted into the air, and rolled in the air four or five times before retracting his fierce palm power: "Are you from Juxianzhuang?"
"Your Excellency?" asked the man in black with his bare hands.
Zhao Bufan landed lightly, smiled and nodded: "Zhao Bufan!"
"Master Zhao?"
Both men in black were stunned.
They looked at it for a moment, and suddenly they all removed the black cloth from their faces and laughed out loud.
"The subordinate ugly cow hall master is Zheng, meet the big owner!"
"Xie Wufeng, the subordinate master of Yinhu Hall, meet the master of the big village!"
Zhu Lian next to him was inexplicable, turned his head to look at Xie Wufeng who was holding a knife, and then looked back at Cheng Zheng with his bare hands, his pretty face was full of doubts: "Extraordinary, what's going on?"
Zhao Bufan smiled and introduced: "Juxian Village is now composed of the Zodiac Hall, the master of the hall is good at mixing the Yuan thunderbolt hand, in charge of the Ugly Cow Hall, the hall master Xie is good at the Eight Styles of Heavenly Sword, and is in charge of the Yinhu Hall, they are all their own people, but they are very busy with each other, and today is the first time to meet!"
Zhu Lian instantly smiled and looked at Xie Wufeng happily.
"Hall Master Xie, your martial arts are so powerful, you almost made me suffer a big loss!"
Xie Wufeng felt deeply embarrassed, shook his head and sighed: "Mrs. Zhuang's words are a little tormenting to your subordinates, your claw skills are unscathed, I haven't practiced the Eight Styles of the Heavenly Sword at home, it's hard to hurt you." The owner's eighteen palms of dragon descent are even more terrifying, and I think that in the entire Juxian Village, only Yan Wu's thirteen swords can compete with the owner, but I am afraid that it is not an opponent. ”
Zhao Bufan smiled and shook his head: "I can't beat Yan Wu, at least not yet." ”
"The owner has already fought with him, why haven't you heard him say it?" Xie Wufeng wondered.
"I'm afraid he's scared of my face. Zhao Bufan didn't feel embarrassed to lose, and said truthfully: "In terms of internal force cultivation, he is not as good as me, but I can't break his thirteenth sword, unless I can go further on the basis of rigidity and softness, and practice the eighteen palms of the dragon to the realm of rigidity and softness, or the internal strength cultivation will be greatly improved again, and I will forcibly break the skill with strength, otherwise I will definitely lose in the case of fighting alone." ”
This kind of honesty made Cheng Zheng and Xie Wufeng's eyes flash, and a smile appeared on their faces.
Cheng Zheng teased and said: "Yan Wu's life-killing thirteen swords are really powerful in a single fight, but he can't beat the owner on the battlefield, his set of swordsmanship is extremely mental and internal, if he uses it on the battlefield, he can't even stand on his feet if he can't stab a few swords, and with other swordsmanship, he shouldn't be the opponent of the owner." ”
Zhao Bufan smiled, didn't take the topic, and asked instead: "By the way, I heard earlier that the two of you are sitting in Juxianzhuang, why did you come to this Junzhou?"
Speaking of this, Cheng Zheng and Xie Wufeng's faces flashed with anger, and they inadvertently glanced at the person next to him who was still unconscious, and Cheng Zhengcai continued: "Recently, the expansion of the silk and satin workshop in Luoyang Youji Hall has been completed, and it is ready to open strongly, so I borrowed a pair of siblings under my subordinates and Wu Feng to perform singing and dancing. The two sisters are extremely beautiful, good at singing and dancing, and are often invited to participate in celebrations by various churches, so they naturally rushed to Luoyang to help this time.
I didn't think that after the celebration, the two were robbed on the way back, and the brothers in charge of escorting also died more than a dozen, only a few escaped and came back to report the news, Wu Feng and I learned the whole story, quickly went south to intercept, and chased the traces of the group of people all the way, chased all the way to this Shiyan Town, didn't think about it but lost it, and we found after two days of investigation that the Zhou Yuan of this Shiyan Town was secretly robbing the beautiful and talented woman, and I didn't know what he was robbing for, so he was quietly arrested tonight. ”
Hearing these words, Zhao Bufan's eyes gradually moved to the person who was sleeping on the ground, and his eyes gradually turned stronger.
"He's Zhou Yuanwai?"
