Volume 2 Treading Chapter 18 Can't Give Up
On the outskirts of Xiangyang, in front of the dilapidated farmhouse, there is a beautiful tomb, and the words on the marble tombstone are strong and powerful, "The Tomb of Jiang's Qingnuo".
To the right is the same tomb, but it looks much shabby in comparison.
Lu Sanchuan stared at Mrs. Dong's grave for a long time, turned to look at Jiang Chengzi's grave, and said with a wry smile: "Senior Jiang has sincere love for Mrs., and the tomb he repaired is also exquisite. It's like an insect gnawing at an ant. β
Although Su Qing was heartbroken that Jiang Chengzi had passed away, Lu Sanchuan finally accepted himself, and at this moment, joy was slightly superior. She smiled lightly: "It's not about the form, it's about the heart, and the righteous husband can be buried next to his wife, and he is already satisfied." β
Lu Sanchuan nodded, sighed lightly and sorrowfully, his face was immediately serious, "Jiang Lingfeng is dead, is Zhang Yi next?"
Su Qing nodded.
Lu Sanchuan said: "Qing'er, where is Zhang Yi?"
Su Qing showed a shy smile, which gradually condensed after a while, and asked instead of answering, "Have you noticed that something is wrong with it?"
Lu Sanchuan didn't know what Su Qing meant, "What's wrong?"
Su Qing said: "Although the order of the ten lives killed is indeed from low to high according to martial arts, Wei Wuqi and Jiang Lingfeng were both killed by you, Jiang Enyan was also killed when he fought with you, as for Bai Zhongxu..."
Lu Sanchuan immediately understood, and answered: "I entered Senior Bai's bedroom, but he happened to be killed. The deaths of all four of them are related to me. β
Su Qing nodded, his expression serious, "That's right, it seems that the murderer's purpose is not only to kill all ten lives, but also to blame you for the crime." β
Lu Sanchuan felt the horror of people's hearts, "No, he doesn't have to kill all ten lives, he only needs to kill one or two more, and then the rivers and lakes will be in chaos, and everyone thinks that I am a murderer, and they will attack in groups." This doesn't matter, what worries me the most is that Dai's predecessors are extremely loyal and courageous, and they are only afraid that they will anger everyone in order to investigate the truth and cause their innocent death. β
Su Qing nodded, "That's right! The rivers and lakes are in chaos, and they are enemies of each other, so the murderer doesn't have to take any more risks, he just needs to take advantage of the fisherman." Are we still looking for Zhang Yi?"
Lu Sanchuan crossed his eyebrows and thought for a long time, and said firmly: "Go! But we can't go as rashly as before!"
"Okay! Zhang Yi is in Jingmen!"
Jingmen is not far from Xiangyang, the two of them entered the city at dusk, first found an inn, and after dinner, they entered the guest room.
As before, Su Qing sat on the bed to take a nap, and Lu Sanchuan sat at the table.
Su Qing thought that after experiencing separation, Lu Sanchuan should have changed and behaved intimately, but now he is still the same as before, and the table and bed are separated. She just sat at the head of the bed, sulking.
Lu Sanchuan sat at the table, thinking in his heart. Chen Zhizhang has only been able to get the sword for half a month, and he should not have been able to merge with the sword, according to this, it is the four demons and four ghosts of Heifeng Village who endanger the rivers and lakes.
He had seen the four ghosts martial arts in the inn in Shiyan, but he didn't know how the four demons were, so he could only measure, if he met the four ghosts of Heifeng Village, the winning rate would be a few points.
But Xiaoxiang Yeyu can't kill the mane ghost Jiang Guangcheng with one sword, is it enough to be an enemy of him with his "Bamboo Shadow Nine Executioners"?
He wanted to ask Su Qing how the Four Devils were doing, and when he saw Su Qing sulking at the head of the bed, he laughed and said, "Qing'er, we don't have the name of husband and wife, so naturally we can't do the things of husband and wife." So you sleep in the bed while I sleep at the table. β
After Su Qing heard this, her cheeks were as red as the sunset. She pursed her lips, wanting to look but not daring to look at Lu Sanchuan, so she had to take advantage of Lu Sanchuan's inattention and take a sneak look, "Who is going to marry you......"
Lu Sanchuan laughed, his heart was a lot lighter, and he thought: Miss Su was originally a cold and ruthless heroine, but now she has become so shy.
He understood why Jiang Chengzi had no intention of living after Mrs. Dong's death.
"Qing'er, you have a lot of experience, do you know how the four demons martial arts?"
Although Su Qing was still shy, when he saw that Lu Sanchuan had questions, he naturally would not fail to answer. She thought about it, but shook her head. "I don't know. The affairs of the southern faction are rarely spread in the rivers and lakes. The four ghosts haunted more frequently, so there was a lot of news. As for the Four Demons, it seems that they have never been out of the rivers and lakes. But I vaguely heard that He An had fought with the head of the Four Demons, the Wind Demon Tower. β
Lu Sanchuan hurriedly said: "Who wins and who loses?"
Su Qing said: "He An narrowly won. β
After hearing this, Lu Sanchuan's face became more and more ugly, and he secretly thought: With the martial arts of his predecessors, he can only narrowly defeat the four demons, if it were me...
He sighed and said, "Miss Su, you take a nap first, and I'll call you later." β
Su Qing heard that he would not leave him alone, so he was no longer nervous, nodded, and then lay down.
Lu Sanchuan really didn't want to leave Su Qing behind. Although Su Qing's martial arts are far inferior to his own, in the last year, Su Qing was also too troublesome to carry his almost incompetent self.
Besides, Su Qing has a lot of experience, so he may be able to help something.
Of course, the most important thing is that he wants to take Su Qing with him.
Lu Sanchuan supported his chin on the table with his right elbow, thinking about all the things after Lu Benchi's death, his eyelids gradually sank, and he also fell asleep.
In the haze, Lu Sanchuan noticed that someone was pulling his arm, opened his eyes, and saw that it was Su Qing, and muttered, "Qing'er, what's wrong?"
Su Qing said: "Didn't you say that you woke me up? β
Lu Sanchuan woke up immediately, touched his eyes, and said with a wry smile, "It's me who overslept." β
He gently turned his shoulders, raised his right hand to support his neck, and turned around a few times, so that his tired body gradually became energetic. "Let's go. β
Although Xingyougu has the word "valley", it is not in the valley, but in the suburbs southwest of Jingmen.
If you are really in the valley, it is inconvenient to enter and exit, and the information is not very well-informed.
It was only in order to draw a clear line with those "gangs" and "factions" that Zhang Yi named it "Xingyougu".
Lu Sanchuan and Su Qing rode away, and when they were still a hundred zhang away from the valley, they got off their horses and ran on foot until they reached the wall, and then climbed on the wall, lay on the wall, and did not move.
Lu Sanchuan knew that Su Qing had doubts in her heart, and without waiting for her to speak, he whispered: "In the past two times, we went straight to the mansion and persuaded them with strong words, but instead of believing us, they regarded us as thieves. This time, we waited in the shadows, and once the murderer was present, we would raise our swords and go forward! Even if we couldn't catch the murderer, we could let Senior Zhang see the truth. β
Su Qing nodded in agreement.
In the valley, in the Maple Leaf Pavilion.
Zhang Yi is in a hurry.
The destruction of Qianxingmen, Fengyuelou, and the White Tiger Gang is well known in the rivers and lakes.
Now, there are three ways to say this.
First, the perpetrator was Yuan Qiming. It is said that after Yuan Qiming learned the Dragon Yin Knife, not only did his sword skills improve greatly, but his ambition was also expanding day by day, so he planned to kill all ten lives to correct his name.
Second, the perpetrator was Lu Sanchuan. said that in order to force out Yuan Qiming, Lu Sanchuan ordered the killer to destroy the Qianxingmen, and then killed hundreds of people in Fengyuelou and the White Tiger Gang, if Yuan Qiming did not appear, he would continue to kill.
Third, Black Wind Village is for it. said that the southern faction had been oppressed for a long time, and now it was finally unwilling to live under others, and wanted to turn over as the main one, so it sent a master to come.
In Zhang Yi's view, the second argument is absolutely impossible. He believed in the statement that Xiang was born from his heart, and from Lu Sanchuan's face, kindness was more than ruthless, if it was possible to kill one or two people for some reason, it would be absolutely impossible to annihilate three gangs one after another.
What worried Zhang Yi was his discovery in the afternoon.
Since Yuan Qiming learned to retreat alone, there is no good hand in the Qianxing Gate who can support the faΓ§ade, and there is no way to destroy the door.
But Fengyuelou and the White Tiger Gang, the first place is listed in the top ten positions, but they can't escape their fate.
It shows that the murderer's martial arts are extremely strong.
And according to the current situation, the dead Wei Wuqi, Jiang Enyan, and Bai Zhongxu are all people at the end of the ten lives, if they really follow this order, it will not be long before it will be their turn.
Zhang Yi asked himself: If the murderer comes to the door, can I handle it?
Until dawn, nothing happened.
Lu Sanchuan and Su Qing quietly got off the wall, went back to the inn, slept from morning to afternoon, and then ate something.
Lu Sanchuan knew that this method of "waiting for the rabbit" was extremely stupid, if the other party did not show up, then he would have to wait at the head of the wall no matter how windy or rainy it was. But there is no other way now.
For five nights, the two of them waited quietly at the head of the wall, but there was no one to be seen.
On the morning of the sixth day, when Lu Sanchuan and Su Qing returned to the inn, they sneakily followed three figures behind them.
It was Huang Yuheng and others who were ordered to investigate the Zhongyuan Dart Bureau.
Huang Yuheng was ordered by Bai Zhongxu to go to Henan to investigate the Zhongyuan Dart Bureau, and when they found the Zhongyuan Dart Bureau, two seals had been affixed to the door of the Dart Bureau.
The three of them jumped into the dart game and searched everywhere for a long time, but there was no one. The rooms have also been emptied.
Huang Yuheng hurriedly went back to recover his life, but found that the White Tiger Gang had also become a dead house.
When he was grief-stricken, he heard that Lu Sanchuan did it, so he vowed to kill Lu Sanchuan in his heart. But his martial arts skills are not very strong, and after thinking about it, he can only join forces with others.
If you can convince the five masters, it will be naturally beautiful, but those five people have come and gone without a trace, and they really can't be found.
Huang Yuheng wanted to unite the ten lives.
According to the level of martial arts, he ran around for days, and successively found Dai Ende, Fifth Ming, and Qin Yi.
Dai Ender has a lot of respect for Lu Sanchuan, and naturally doesn't believe that Lu Sanchuan will kill Bai Zhongxu. He also advised Huang Yuheng to put aside his hatred for the time being, and make a conclusion after the investigation was clear.
Fifth Ming practiced swordsmanship hard, and he had no interest in the hatred of others at all. What's more, Lu Sanchuan's martial arts that Huang Yuheng wanted to kill might not be under him. If it is one's enemy, it is necessary to fight to the death, but it is not necessary to stand out for the sake of others.
Qin Yi saw that the people from the White Tiger Gang came to the door, and he was quite interested, and in order to win over the White Tiger Gang, he served Huang Yuheng with great etiquette. After the feast, I heard Huang Yuheng say that the White Tiger Gang was slaughtered, so he pretended to be angry, and took the case, saying, "I have to avenge the White Gang leader", but when I heard that the murderer was Lu Sanchuan, I immediately stopped it, and finally found a reason to send Huang Yuheng away.
So Huang Yuheng came to Jingmen and tried to persuade Zhang Yi.
But unexpectedly, he met Lu Sanchuan before entering Jingmen.
Huang Yuheng and the other three cautiously followed Lu Sanchuan, and when they saw Lu Sanchuan enter an inn, they also followed in, and asked Xiao Er for the guest room next door to Lu Sanchuan.
