Hua Qian took advantage of the light of the oil lamp to look at the human skin mask in his hand over and over again, and said for a while: "This is the legendary human skin mask?"

Xu Yun, who was sitting on the side, nodded: "Exactly." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info"After bidding farewell to Wu Renyi, he rushed back to the Daimyo's Mansion from Cangzhou and informed Hua Qian of what happened to him.

"Oh my boy, is this really made of human skin?" Hua Qian praised.

"I don't know. Xu Yun smiled.

"You have followed Uncle Zhang around since you were a child, you can be regarded as an old Jianghu, right! What else do you not know about the affairs of this Jianghu?" Hua Qian still looked down at the human skin mask, and didn't even raise his head.

Xu Yun took a sip of hot tea and said slowly: "A secret technique like the disguise technique, even the martial arts seniors probably can't know the mystery, how can I know?"

"Oh. Hua Qian sat up straight and said, "You said that this mask is the thing of the Wanyingtang flower lady?"

"Yes. Xu Yundao.

Hua Qian fiddled with the human skin mask in his hand and said, "But you said that when you arrived, the flower lady was already dying." You can only say that this object was found from her, but you can't confirm that it is the flower lady's thing, and it is possible that she took it from someone else. And now that the flower lady is dead, there is no proof of death, and we can't confirm who the real owner of this thing is. ”

"So what, this thing was found on Hua Niangzi, let's just let Li Da know that it was Gongsun Liangbi who killed his brother, and that's it. Xu Yun squinted, drank hot tea, and said leisurely.

"But...... Although this thing was found in the disciples of Wan Yingtang, the person may not have been killed by the disciples of Wan Yingtang, and we should still give Brother Li a thorough truth. Hua Qian wondered.

Xu Yun said: "Xiao Qian, sometimes we don't really need the truth of things. Now, according to the clues I have found, I can completely point the murderers of Li Er and Li San at Wan Yingtang. If we tell Li Da about this, then we will win over some people from the beggar gang and deal with Gongsun Liangbi with us. However, if we dig deeper into this matter, once we find out that the murderer has nothing to do with Wan Yingtang, won't we lose a good opportunity to fight with the beggar gang? Don't you forget, that Wan Yingtang has already killed your second and third uncles, and will soon attack you. Even if you don't want to compete with Gongsun Liangbi, you have to do something to protect yourself!"

The corpses of Hua Yongfu and Hua Changlin were sent to Hua Qian by Wan Yingtang's disciples a few days ago, and this move was obviously Gongsun Liangbi demonstrating against the Hua family. Hua Qian thought of Hua Yongfu's father and son lying in the coffin with black cheeks, he couldn't help but sigh, put a human skin mask on his face, and said helplessly: "Alas, what you said, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but I don't want to do it. I always feel that this is too unrighteous, and I'm sorry Brother Li. ”

The mask that covered Hua Qian's face was the mask used to disguise himself as Xu Yun. Xu Yun saw a crumpled self sitting next to him, and he felt very weird, so he took off his mask and said to Hua Qian: "Sometimes, there are some things that you have to do even if you don't want to do them, and this is the rivers and lakes. ”

Hua Qian shook his head, snatched back the mask from Xu Yun's hand, and said, "How do I feel that the rivers and lakes you are talking about are different from what my grandfather said?

Xu Yun said softly: "Yes, not exactly. If you are alone like me, floating in the rivers and lakes, you can naturally be happy with grievances, and righteousness comes first. It's a pity that you're not, you are the head of the Hua family, and what you carry on your shoulders is the future of the entire Hua family, so you can't do anything arbitrarily. ”

Hua Qian was silent, pondered for a moment, and then wrapped the two human skin masks in the silk handkerchief: "This silk handkerchief is so exquisite, it really looks like a thing only used by women, maybe it is really the personal thing of the flower lady." ”

Xu Yun nodded and looked at Hua Qian with a smile.

Suddenly, Hua Qian placed the silk handkerchief on top of the oil lamp. Suddenly, the silk handkerchief and the human skin mask inside burned, emitting a pungent scorching smell.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Yun was quite surprised, and hurriedly stepped out to stop Hua Qian.

Hua Qian threw the silk handkerchief on the ground, let it burn out, and said to Xu Yun: "Brother Yun, I know that what you said is right. But, next time, this time I still want to do what I want. ”

Xu Yun couldn't help but shake his head again and again and sighed: "This is not child's play, you must know that if you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game!"

Hua Qian smiled and said, "How do you know that my move must be a wrong move?"

"Then how are we going to talk to Li Da about this?" Xu Yun asked.

Hua Qian said nonchalantly: "How do you say it...... Let's be honest, after all, it was his own brother who died, and I had to let him know the truth. So saying, he got up again and opened the door, and shouted into the courtyard, "Brother, brother!"

Before the words fell, Quan Chengkong was already standing outside the door, clasping his fists and saluting: "Childe, what do you command?"

Hua Qian was taken aback, and couldn't help touching the back of his head and smiled: "Ah, you're too fast, as soon as I finished saying this, you have already drilled out." Quan Chengkong said: "That's natural, because Quan has been guarding the roof of the son's house." Hua Qian was taken aback again: "You said you have been staying here? What are you doing here?" Quan Chengkong said loudly: "Wan Yingtang is too rampant now, in order to protect the safety of Gongzi, Quan plans to guard the side day and night, and follow the rumors to prevent Gongzi from being in trouble." ”

Hua Qian looked at Quan Chengkong with a serious expression, and said busily: "Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want." Ah, by the way, then you pick a few people to go into the city with me tomorrow, I'm going to the city to take over the third uncle's house, don't forget it. Well...... Nothing else. ”

"Good. Quan Chengkong answered, and jumped onto the roof again.

"Well, I feel like a prisoner, and people watch me all day. Hua Qian closed the door, slumped in his chair and said to Xu Yun.

"I think Brother Quan's thing is doing the right thing, the people around Gongsun Liangbi are not bad, and if they want to take your life, it is really like picking up something, or there should be a master who has been protecting you. Xu Yundao, "What are you going to do with the house in the city, do you want to move in?"

"No, I'm quite used to living here, and I'm thinking about buying a few more lots of land nearby in a while to turn this place into a big estate! Hua Qian yawned.

Xu Yun shook his head and said, "You want to mess around again! The yard of the house in the city, are you going to sell it?"

Hua Qian rubbed his eyes and said, "Where am I messing around? I'm going to make the family business bigger, what's wrong? Besides, this Changwu has also come back from Wutai Mountain, I have to get some land and build him a few rooms to live in." As for the mansion in the city, I don't sell it, I keep it. When Changwen came back one day, he let him move in and live, after all, it was his father's house. ”

"Li Da, why are you here?" Suddenly, Hua Qian and Xu Yun heard Quan Chengkong's voice coming from outside the door.

Li Da asked in a low voice, "Brother Quan, what is that...... Is Hua Gongzi here?"

Hua Qian heard that Li Da was coming to find him, so he directly got up and opened the door and asked, "What's the matter?" Li Dadao: "Master Hua, I heard that Xu Yun and Xu Daxia are back, but is there such a thing?" Hua Qian turned sideways and pointed to the house and said, "Brother Yun is in the house, come in and talk about something." ”

"Thank you Childe for that. Li Da learned that Xu Yun was in the house, strode into the house, and asked as he walked: "Xu Daxia, can you find out the real murderer who killed my brother?"

Xu Yun glanced at Hua Qian, and when he saw that he had closed the door and walked over, he smiled and told Li Da about the things he encountered along the way, especially the things he experienced in Cangzhou Guanhailou.

After listening to Xu Yun's statement, Li Daxia was slightly disappointed: "Therefore, Xu Daxia still didn't find the perpetrator after all. ”

"Well, sort of. Xu Yun couldn't help but glance at Hua Qian again.

"But, Xu Daxia, why do I think this matter seems to have been done by someone from Wan Yingtang?" Li Da said suddenly.

Hua Qian on the side didn't expect Li Da to ask such a sentence coldly, and couldn't help but say, "Why?"

Li Da blushed and said hesitantly: "I just feel like ...... I don't have a bright mind, and I don't know ...... I don't know what to say to you, but I just think that my brother was killed by the people of Wan Yingtang. ”

Xu Yun smiled slightly and said: "Although that Wan Yingtang has done a lot of things that hurt heaven and reason in order to dominate Hebei, but Big Brother Li can't rely on them for all the evil things because they have done a lot of evil and opposed us!"

Li Da touched his head and said, "This ...... This one...... That's right, you can't just frame someone, it's not a hero's doing. Well...... Xu Daxia, you said that the woman named Hua Niangzi had scars all over her face, right? Xu Yun said: "Yes, the flower lady's cheeks are densely covered with old scars, but she can still be vaguely recognized that she was once a beauty." Li Da stroked his palm and said: "Zhao, isn't this it, that woman will definitely disguise herself!"

Hua Qian didn't understand what the scar on Hua Niangzi's face had to do with the disguise technique, so he couldn't help but be curious, and asked again, "Why?"

Li Dadao: "Hua Gongzi didn't even think about this? Do you think, there is a woman in the world who doesn't love beauty, this woman used to be a beauty, but now she is disfigured, so she must find a way to make herself beautiful before she dares to go out! ”

When Hua Qian heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly explained: "There is not only one woman whose face has been ruined in the rivers and lakes, but are they all masters of disguise? I didn't want Xu Yun to laugh and said: "What Brother Li said is not unreasonable, and this does explain why the human skin mask appeared on the flower lady." ”

Li Da saw that Xu Yun agreed, so he continued: "Also, this Wan Yingtang from other places wants to be our Hebei martial arts overlord, of course we will not be convinced, we must join forces to do it against him, so what is the name of Gongsun Liangbi will let his subordinates pretend to be Xu Daxia and kill my two brothers, so as to provoke the dispute between the Hua family and the beggar gang, let our two families fight first, and he will sit and take ...... Sit and ...... That ......"

"Do you want to say 'the fisherman's profit'?" Xu Yun prompted.

"Alas, yes, yes, take advantage of the fisherman. Li Da laughed embarrassedly, "So no matter what I think, I think Wan Yingtang is the real murderer who killed my brother." ”

"Well, in this way, it can explain why the murderer did not kill all of them in the end, but spared Brother Li's life. Xu Yun curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Yes, they kept me because they wanted me to be a messenger and spread the news that Xu Daxia killed my two brothers, so they could watch the excitement from the sidelines. Li Da kept nodding his head, and the more he spoke, the more convinced he was that the murderer was Wan Yingtang's person.

"Well, Brother Li, who said that your brain is not bright? You are also very good at analyzing things! When you say this, even I think that the murderer must be from that Wan Yingtang. Xu Yun said with a smile.

"Haha, I've found my brother's murderer!" Li Da smiled, patted Hua Qian's shoulder and said, "Master Hua, you shouldn't have burned that mask, we should take that thing and go to Gongsun Liangbi to ask for an explanation." However, these beasts are not as good as beasts, we don't seem to need to tell them any rules of the rivers and lakes, and when we see the people of Wanyingtang in the future, we can just beat them directly, where is there so much nonsense!Hahaha, I'm going to go to Song Tuantou and the Dog King brothers, let them be angry for me, and avenge my two younger brothers!" With that, he had already left the house, laughing loudly all the way, and walked away.

Xu Yun sat down with a smile, and when he saw Hua Qian beside him without saying a word, he said, "Why did you suddenly become silent, isn't this like you?"

Hua Qian bit his lower lip and tightened his eyebrows, as if he was very unhappy: "Yes, I haven't spoken much, but you have been chattering non-stop, and it is not the same as usual." ”

Xu Yun understood that Hua Qian's words meant something else, so he smiled and said, "You also heard it just now, I was just talking about the facts, and I didn't say anything." I didn't say that the murderer was Wan Yingtang's person, it was he Li Da himself who thought so, and it had nothing to do with me. ”

"If the person who tells the story has a different focus, then the person who listens to the story will understand it differently. Hua Qian said expressionlessly.

Xu Yun smiled awkwardly and said to Hua Qian, "Then why didn't you stop me by saying anything, but let me continue to tell this story?"

Hua Qian was silent.

Xu Yun took a sip of tea, cleared his throat and said, "Xiao Qian, if there are some things you can't bear to do, leave it to me." By the way, how is your King Wen's drunken dream step? Gongsun Liangbi dared to attack your third uncle directly, thinking that they were already in the chest. Maybe it won't be long before something big happens in Hebei again. ”

Hua Qian nodded and said, "Well, since you left, I will practice with my whole brother for a few hours every day. After Changwu came back, I asked him to come and practice with me. Now, if I use that footwork, even if the two of them join forces, they won't hurt me in the slightest. ”

When Xu Yun heard this, he couldn't help but laugh proudly: "Then I'm relieved, hehe, I'm really right, you are indeed very suitable for practicing this kung fu." ”
