In the moonlight, a figure was running at great speed.

Behind him, blood was sprinkled all the way.

"Snort...... Sneer...... "He gasped for air twice and slowed down slightly. He covered his bleeding belly and said to himself, "It's almost over, as long as you get to the academy, you can be saved." He looked up at the majestic city looming in front of him outside the woods, and the look of vigilance in his eyes relaxed slightly. I could see clearly by the moonlight that this was a middle-aged man about forty years old dressed in yellow brocade.

"Wow!" Suddenly, the sound of the sword unsheathed rang out from all directions. On the head of the man in yellow, there was suddenly an extra layer of cold sweat. In an instant, a white light flashed again. The man in yellow suddenly took out three darts from his waist and threw them in front of him.

Immediately, I listened to the three clear sounds of "dang". Then, the man in yellow clutched his throat and knelt on the ground in pain. I could only see three darts stuck in his neck, which he had just thrown.

After a while, three mysterious people dressed in black coats and wearing strange masks walked over from the dense forest ahead. The three of them gathered around the man in yellow, not saying a word. The cold gaze that burst out from under the mask made the man in yellow feel extremely tingling. In a trance, the man in yellow unconsciously let go of his hand covering his neck, allowing the blood to spurt out wildly.

"It's sensible, then let you die to understand. A cold voice without a trace of emotion seeped out from under the mask of the mysterious man who was the leader. Suddenly, the birds and insects also trembled and stopped their chirping.

Suddenly, the leader took off his mask and said, "You can die." ”

The man in yellow's already scattered gaze suddenly lit up, and the light was fleeting.

At this moment, he is dead.

When the night is over, this swallow will be lively in front of the city gate. Passers-by all stopped, pointing at a corpse hanging from the city.

"Damn, it's all scattered for Lao Tzu. If you don't go, I'll hang you up!"

Everyone looked back at the fierce officer wielding a long knife, and they hurriedly lowered their heads and went their own way.

"Damn, Lao Tzu has finally been promoted, but you want to pull Lao Tzu into the water again!" the officer reprimanded the soldier next to him who bowed his head.

"Master Qiao, look at what you said, how dare these brothers!"

This fierce and vicious officer is none other than Dong Ping's brother who has drunk, Qiao Jun, the city guard. After the last Yanlin Rebellion, Qiao Jun was unexpectedly promoted and transferred to the Yanlin Mansion. Now he is also a cronie under Zhang Boxiong, and he can be said to be very comfortable with a fish in water.

But in recent days, the hanging corpse cases of Yanlin Chengtou have appeared one after another, but Qiao Jun has been on fire. This is no wonder to others, he can only blame himself for not knowing how many catties and taels he has, and he is ashamed to set up a military order in front of Zhang Boxiong.

He said that this city gate used to be his jurisdiction, and he must find out this order, or he will continue to come back to guard the city gate. Zhang Boxiong also agreed happily, which couldn't help but make Qiao Jun wonder if this Zhang Fuyin had wanted to drive him away.

Qiao Jun was originally in high spirits, thinking that the city gate was guarded day and night, and it was not difficult to find the person who hung the body on it.

But when he came and inquired, he found that although the gate was guarded day and night, no one saw when and by whom the body was hung.

Qiao Jun stared at the corpse for a while before saying, "Put him down first." ”

When the body was lowered from the city, and the autopsy was carried out. It was concluded that although there were numerous wounds on this man's body, none of them were fatal, and the cause of his death was actually scared to death.

"Scared to death?" Qiao Jun narrowed his eyes and said, "The cause of death is the same as the few people who died before." But what is it that can scare them to death?"

At this time, the old man said: "Before they were scared to death, these people had already lost too much blood and lost their spirits. It's not surprising to be scared to death by something terrifying that comes suddenly. Adults and villains think we can start with the wounds on these people. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Jun asked, "Oh?

"Although the wounds on these people's bodies are dense, they are not fatal enough, and even the wounds on their necks deviate from the main meridians. It can be seen that the person who attacked them must be a top martial arts expert. Maybe they died because of the vendetta of the rivers and lakes. ”

Qiao Jun nodded and said, "This is an idea, then why do you want to hang them on the Yanlin City Wall after killing them?"

He pondered for a long time and said, "Could it be for a demonstration?"

Qiao Jun nodded and said: "This official also has this idea, if the death of these people is because of the vendetta of the rivers and lakes, then there is only one object of their demonstration." ”

"Didn't you mean the academy?"

Qiao Jun nodded first, and then shook his head: "But maybe, they want to knock the mountain and shock the tiger in our Yanlin Mansion." Immediately, Qiao Jun changed his hippie smile from the past, and said with a serious face: "The top priority now is to find out the identities of these people, and this official will go to the academy first, and the matter here will be handed over to you Lao Qi." ”

"I see. ”

At the same time, in the Luyue Academy.

The dean's study, which used to be too tired, has changed hands, and there is a middle-aged man with a big belly and a red face sitting on his seat at this time. In front of his desk, there were three people sitting around, one of whom was Wu Yanwu, who was frowning. The other was a majestic old man with gray hair and a wrascible face written all over his face. There is also a person who is dressed in a robe, Master Huimin of Shaolin Temple. Just look at the majestic old man carrying a long sword, and from time to time there will be a cold wind whistling out of the scabbard. He is one of the top ten sword masters in the sword ruins, and he is known as the popular sword master who is vigorous and resolute.

Suddenly, the pot-bellied middle-aged man smiled and said, "Presumably, the Fengxing Sword Master and Master Huimin already know the purpose of our academy's invitation to the two of you." ”

When the Wind Walking Sword Lord heard this, he shouted in a low voice: "If there is anything, just say it, don't spit it out!"

The middle-aged man was not annoyed when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just say it." For seven days in a row, a corpse hung on the head of this Yanlin City. And with the appearance of these corpses, our academy also received a report that in the northern states of Mang, there were seven sects that were wiped out. ”

Hearing this, Master Huimin was surprised: "This should be a big deal in the rivers and lakes, why didn't the old man hear the slightest rumor." ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Just because these are small sects with less than twenty disciples, it is reasonable for the master not to know." ”

Hearing this, the Fengxing Sword Lord sneered and said: "This matter of destroying the door abounds in the rivers and lakes, just because of this, you will call me and Master Huimin to your Luyue Academy!"

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "On the rivers and lakes, it is naturally not uncommon for the door to be destroyed due to grievances. But have you ever seen that for seven days in a row, every day there were sects destroyed? And the corpse of its master is still hanging at the head of Yanlin City?"

Master Hui Min clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, could it be that someone is demonstrating to the academy." The destruction of these seven sects is just the beginning, and then the calamity will reach the academy?"

This is exactly what I mean, and I invite the two seniors to the academy this time to discuss how to deal with it. There are three Shaolin families in the academy and sword market, but the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If they really attack the academy, it will be Sword Ruins and Shaolin in the near future. After all, now that the three of us have just experienced a big war, their strength is empty and weak, and we have to prepare for the upcoming threat early. As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, the popular sword master said lightly: "Any young man dares to go wild in Beimang, Dean Yang doesn't have to be mediocre to disturb himself."

This matter can be left to us to deal with in the Sword Ruins, and the Beimang rivers and lakes cannot be destroyed in the hands of the dean of the academy again. ”

The words of the Fengxing Sword Master were unceremoniously, and he was either scolding the academy or the dean of the academy. Wu Yanwu, who was originally silent on the side, stood up when he heard this, and the Fengxing Sword Master squinted at him, and the invisible sword qi stabbed on Wu Yanwu's body.

Master Hui Min saw that the situation was not right, so he wanted to stop the two who were tense. But at this time, the middle-aged man with a big belly waved his hand first. In an instant, a gentle force floated out, dissolving the invisible sword qi of the Wind Walking Sword Master.

Seeing this, the Fengxing Sword Lord smiled and said, "I didn't expect you, the dean from the Jinglun Academy, to have two brushes in your hands. ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The sword master has won the prize." ”

"I don't know what to say, old man, see if you can stop this move!" said the popular sword master, and he was about to draw his sword.

"Your Excellency, don't go too far!" Wu Yanwu's clenched fists had already gathered surging true qi.

"Wind Sword Master, let's stop in moderation. Master Huimin snorted. In fact, he also knew the mood of the Fengxing Sword Master, in the last battle between the encirclement and suppression of Uncle Tai and Ya Fei Dao, both of them suffered heavy losses. Shaolin died a square zhang, and the sword ruins seriously injured the three sword masters. His disciples also suffered heavy casualties. Therefore, when the Fengxing Sword Master made a mockery of the academy before, Master Huimin did not stop him. But now that this popular sword master wants to start a fight in the academy, it is really too much.

Suddenly, a cough came from the corner.

The Wind Traveling Sword Master and Master Hui Min were stunned, when they entered this study, they didn't notice that there were other people in this study besides them.

The two followed the sound and looked, only to see a young scholar sitting in the corner with Erlang's legs crossed, holding a book and reading intently. Suddenly, the young scholar spoke: "It took a lot of energy to establish this academy in Xia back then, and I hope that the Fengxing Sword Master will show mercy to his subordinates. And Yang Qun served as the dean, which was also approved by the underdog. Although he was born in the Jinglun Academy, he was a good cultivator, and he had been the dean of the Inner Academy for three years before becoming the dean of the college. With his ability, he served as the head of the college, which was more than enough. I also hope that the Fengxing Sword Master can also show mercy to Dean Yang. ”

"My Seniors......"

The Fengxing Sword Master hurriedly got up and said, "The junior has just spoken out, and I hope that my seniors will forgive me." ”

When the Wind Walking Sword Master straightened up, my master had disappeared without a trace, leaving a Taishi chair in the corner of the wall.

"The Wind Traveling Sword Lord is too polite. ”

Hearing this, the Fengxing Sword Master looked at the middle-aged man with a big belly and said secretly in his heart: "Okay, you Yang Qun, Yang Fat!

"The old man was a little extreme just now, and I hope Dean Yang will forgive me. The Windwalking Sword Lord said with a smile.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Yang Qun smiled and said, "It seems that someone from the government is here, Dean Wu, you go out to receive it." ”

After Wu Yanwu answered yes, he turned around and walked out of the study.

Wu Yanwu came to the front yard of the academy, where there were no more students who used to play and frolic here. I saw that in the classrooms, everyone was immersed in hard reading.

"Superintendent Lu, if you have a spirit in the sky, you must be happy to see this situation. After Wu Yanwu sighed, he looked at Qiao Jun who was standing in the courtyard.

Wu Yanwu clenched his fists and said, "Master Qiao, why are you waiting here." ”

Qiao Jun said with a smile: "My steps are heavy, so I won't go in and disturb your students' reading." ”

Wu Yanwu bowed slightly, and then said straight to the point: "Lord Qiao came to the academy, presumably for the hanging corpse case in the city." ”

Qiao Jun said: "Since Dean Wu has spoken, there is no hiding in the bottom." According to the following inference, the hanging corpse at the head of the city may have died from a vendetta in the rivers and lakes. And his body was hung at the head of the city, probably in a demonstration against the academy in the city. ”

"Our dean also has this idea, in addition to the corpses hanging on the city for seven consecutive days, there are seven sects on the rivers and lakes that have been destroyed, and those seven people are the heads of those seven sects. ”

Wu Yanwu said, Qiao Jun was stunned, and then he hurriedly said: "Dean Wu's words are true!"

"Naturally, I will never say anything. ”

"It's weird, it's weird. For such a big matter, why haven't we received news from Yanlin Mansion?" Qiao Jun shook his head and said.

"Maybe it's because those seven sects are too small to attract the attention of others......" Before Wu Yanwu could finish his sentence, Qiao Jun interrupted him and said, "No, there are regulations in Yanlin Mansion." Any major case involving more than three lives in the prefecture must be reported to Yanlin Mansion within one day. Dean Wu, no matter how small the seven sects are, how can there be more than three people in one sect, right?"

Wu Yanwu nodded and said, "That's true. ”

Qiao Jun said with a smile: "At that moment, there will be Dean Lao Wu to write a document on the specific situation of the seven sects and give it to you." ”

"It's a small thing. ”

When Qiao Jun heard this, he suddenly said as if he had suddenly realized: "Dean Wu, I don't know if there are any tricks on this river and lake that can scare people to death?"

Wu Yanwu frowned and said, "Scared to death?" Could this be related to the cause of death of those seven people?"

"Yes, the seven people who hung on the wall of Yanlin were all scared to death. After Qiao Jun finished speaking, he added: "Before those seven people were scared to death, they were all seriously injured and lost too much blood. ”

Wu Yanwu pondered for a long time and said: "I heard that there are strange illusions in the Western Regions and the Southern Kingdom, which can charm people's minds ......."

Hearing this, Qiao Jun smiled bitterly and said, "That means that the murderer is from another country? ”

Wu Yanwu smiled: "This is not necessarily, if you scare people to death, you must be extremely proficient in illusion." But if the person was seriously injured before he was scared to death, then he only needed to use some shallow illusions to scare the person to death. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Jun sneered and said: "This person is not real, and he has to gasp twice when he speaks." ”

After staying for a while, Qiao Jun took the document with the details of the seven sects and left. Qiao Jun, who had already read the paperwork, was frowning at this time, and his face was full of anger.

"The first one to be destroyed was the Flying Sword Gate in Liangzhou, whose sect was located in Liangzhou City, and a total of nineteen people died. His grandmother's, this Liangzhou is close to Yanzhou. That person died in the capital of Liangzhou again, why didn't Yan Lin receive any news at all. Could it be that the officials and bandits colluded, then his grandmother's group of thieves are going to demonstrate against my Yanlin Mansion!" Qiao Jun became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and then he took out his saber and slashed it on the blue brick wall beside him. Then, he stuffed the document into his arms and headed towards the Yanlin Mansion.

Luyue Academy, in a courtyard.

The voice sat on the wooden chair with a sad face, and suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps, and looked sideways. As soon as he saw someone, he said, "Dean Wu, you're here." ”

"Senior, how are you doing these days?"

Yu Shengyu nodded and said: "That's all for my old bones, now it's a big deal to find Ruan Li, that girl has been out for eight days." The wound on her face had just healed, and it was time to recuperate. Say, where did she go!" said Yu Shengyu as he sighed.

Wu Yanwu said: "Seniors, rest assured, we have already mobilized the eyeliner of the thirty-six states of Beimang to find it." Presumably, there will be news in a few days, and she is a girl with a camel, which is easy to find. ”

Yu Shengyu shook his head and said, "The old man is afraid that she will go to Dong Ping." ”

"She doesn't know where Dong Ping is now, how to find it? I think she is feeling depressed in the academy, and she has gone out to breathe, and she will come back in a few days. ”

Yu Shengyu waved his hand and said, "Dean Wu, you still don't understand the hearts of these women." ”

Wu Yanwu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then he smiled and said, "That junior will put more people on the road to the Song Kingdom. ”

"I hope so. ”

At the same time, on a passenger ship in Luzhou that was about to be smuggled to the Southern Song Dynasty, it was crowded with dirty people. They crowded on the deck, looking forward to taking a look at the blue sky of the Great Song Dynasty. At the stern of the boat, three equally dirty camels nested side by side. The three camels were guarded by a young man with a small blue hat.

At this time, an old man looked back at the young man in a hat and said, "Young man, what are you doing with these three beasts on the boat!"

The young man smiled and said, "Uncle, don't you know, there are many dignitaries and nobles in the south who want to get this as a mount." ”

"Oh, that's what makes a lot of money. The old man said, then looked at a short young man with a dirty face who was sitting behind the young man with his legs and said, "This young man is also with you?"

The young man glanced at the young man behind him and said, "One of this camel is his, and he is a mute." He said that as long as I took him to the Southern Song Dynasty, half of the money from the sale of his camel would belong to me. ”

The old man glared at the young man and said, "If you are a descendant, you will go to the eyes of the money, and even the dumb money will be collected!"

When the young man was about to say something, the captain shouted, "Send the boat!"
