Chapter 23: The Murderer Is Suspected

Yan Xiaojun got off the boat first, probably because he didn't want to face Qin Jian. The tears had been wiped away, but they could not erase the red marks of the eyes that had been shed by the tears, and anyone who saw them would know that he had just cried.

The son of the captain pointed and said rhythmically, stopped, and looked at Yan Xiaojun's light body, his feet on the bow of the boat, floating next to him, and walked over.

The surprise on the son's face was no longer born because Yan Xiaojun looked like he had cried, and his mouth that couldn't close was because Yan Xiaojun was floating three or four meters away from the bow of the boat and fell beside him.

The old man didn't see this scene, he was carefully leading the horse, following Qin Jian, the horse can swim, but when it doesn't go into the water, it will always look like it's afraid of water, so the captain is well-informed, and he wants to prevent the horse from shaking the boat or falling into the water and splashing Qin Jian's body, he can only lead it himself.

The captain is an honest person, and he is trying his best to make up for Qin Jian's one or two silver boat fares.

Immediately ashore, Qin Jian took the reins from the captain's hand, and smiled at what he had done, and then the grandfather called out to Yan Xiaojun, who was still in a daze, looking at Yan Xiaojun, who had already left.

Walking out of the river bank for two or three hundred meters, there was a trail leading to the village, and it was not until Qin Jian walked faster on the road that he led the horse to walk faster, caught up with Yan Xiaojun, who was walking in front, and whispered: "Don't cry, Baiyun finally has a companion on the road!"

Yan Xiaojun knew that Qin Jian was talking about his mount 'chasing the wind', although he felt pain in his heart for a while, he didn't want Qin Jian to see his vulnerability, so he unconsciously raised his hand and naturally touched his tears, before he looked at Qin Jian sideways, and said as he walked: "I didn't cry." ”

Qin Jian looked at Yan Xiaojun's appearance, smiled, and continued, "I know, you shed tears." ”

Yan Xiaojun looked at Qin Jian with a smile that had finally appeared.

Although the sky was dark, it was close at hand, Qin Jian didn't care about Yan Xiaojun's demeanor in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Get on the horse, we can't stop, there is still a way to go!"

Yan Xiaojun looked at Qin Jian and asked unconsciously, "Ride a horse?"

Qin Jian continued: "Otherwise, what should I do?"

Yan Xiaojun still felt that something was wrong, and got on the horse a little reluctantly, Qin Jian smiled, and was about to get on the horse, when Yan Xiaojun clamped the horse's belly with his legs, the horse neighed, and the four hooves flew away.

Qin Jian smiled helplessly, watching the horse carry Yan Xiaojun all the way, leaving only a paragraph of words fluttering in the air, and the voice also revealed that Yan Xiaojun's sadness had been forgotten for the time being: "I'll wait for you in front." ”

Qin Jian didn't bother to call him, there were small villages all the way, even if there were some rich people, some villages, and mansions, but the people who raised horses might not be willing to resell the horses to others, if they were looking for a seller for a horse, then they might wait for the looming trouble because of the delay, so Qin Jian just wanted Yan Xiaojun to get rid of the sadness in his heart because of the anger on him, and he would never let Qin Jian just run all the way to chase him.

Qin Jian leaped rapidly along the path, and soon came to a small village, Qin Jian stopped, looked at Yan Xiaojun who was waiting in front of him, with a smug smile on his face, and walked over slowly. Yan Xiaojun got on the horse again, Qin Jian knew that Yan Xiaojun was already in his heart, and he wouldn't go over so quickly, so he hurriedly rushed to Yan Xiaojun, who was about to urge the horse to run around the edge of the village, and said, "Go out of the village and follow the road." ”

Yan Xiaojun smiled and urged the horse away, but Qin Jian was a little tired, smiled helplessly, and went directly into the village.

The Danjiang River is also rich in water and soil, because the wetlands are fertile, it is difficult for natural disasters to form, the grain harvest has always been better than most other areas in the territory, and even animal husbandry is also blessed, and it relies on the larger freshwater lakes in the two national waters, among which there are countless fishing grounds, and the tax revenue is also an important place.

Yan Xiaojun waited on the edge of the field next to the road in front of him again, until Qin Jian slowed down and walked over, then he couldn't get on the horse again, urging the horse to go away again, and deliberately wanted to anger Qin Jian's words and left a sentence: "Qin Daxia has made a lot of effort, and he runs so fast!"

Qin Jian smiled, walked slowly for a while, had to leap away again, and then entered the realm after a while, he walked in the direction of the Sword Alliance, even if there was no temporary ambush here, but the spies laid by the Sword Alliance all the way should also be here.

Songping is a land of abundance, the Sword League has become a large-scale gang all year round, like this kind of rich land they are difficult to insert in addition to food, animal husbandry, fishery trading they must occupy a lot of territory, Qin Jian was here in the early years, at that time the dispute between the Sword Sect and the Sword Alliance in this place was even better than elsewhere, I don't know why the Sword League and the Sword Sect did not set up a branch hall here, perhaps because they were afraid of provoking the government too much, but the power of the Sword League and the Sword Sect in this place must not be underestimated, so Qin Jian had to rush to catch up with Yan Xiaojun.

It was another long leap, and he also encountered some pedestrians on the road, Qin Jian was not a swaggering person, so he avoided it when he saw people, and the hurried shape along the way finally caught up with Yan Xiaojun again.

There are two forks in the front road, which are different from the obvious size of the forks in the front, and one of these two roads is the path that goes up to the northeast and leads to the Songping official road. The other is a road that winds all the way to the southeast, leading to River Town, and Yan Xiaojun is sitting under a tree next to the road on the left at this time.

Yan Xiaojun saw Qin Jian coming over with a wry smile, and he also got up to greet him, but the reins of the horse did not let go, and his face was full of smiles.

Qin Jian came over, and really made a somewhat wheezing appearance, with a helpless smile, and said to Yan Xiaojun: "I have no heart and lungs, I escaped with you all night, you really want to exhaust me?"

Qin Jian's appearance of pretending to be angry was seen through by Yan Xiaojun at a glance, Yan Xiaojun's smug smile was still the same, and he said: "It's useless to pretend, you are so good at light skills, running this little distance can exhaust you to death, then I will ask the Taoist priest to do it, a talisman will make your soul fly away." ”

Listening to Yan Xiaojun's matter-of-fact rhetoric, he only smiled bitterly, knowing that Yan Xiaojun had made up his mind to let him chase after him like this, and he didn't think about it when he got on the horse! He still asked unwillingly: "Yan Shaoxia, have you always planned to let me run like this?" Go to Songping and Shangguan Road, go to the realm of Cangfang, and stay at least fifty miles, if you see me catching up with you again, then you really have to ask a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts and summon spirits. ”

Yan Xiaojun made up his mind, looked at Qin Jian with a smile and said, "Don't call me Shaoxia, you still call me brother like yesterday, it's okay to call me something else, can you not know what to call after running away with me all night? Can you still let you get on the horse?"

Qin Jian sat down with a wry smile, looked at Yan Xiaojun, who had already made up his mind, raised his hand and pointed to the road in the direction of Songping, and said, "Wait for me at the entrance to the official road." ”

Yan Xiaojun was not polite, glanced at Qin Jian, turned over and got on the horse, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and ran towards the road that Qin Jian pointed to.

Qin Jian took a breath, smiled, got up and walked slowly.

Sun Fan looked at the corpses of Jiang Kuo and the elites of the Sword Alliance lying in rows, the dead leaves on the trees were constantly falling, and the dead leaves that were already dancing in the wind at any time and leaving the background of the roots, how could they afford Sun Fan's crazy punch, the fist marks on the body of the tree were clear, and there were blood stains on them.

None of the dozens of Sword Alliance branch disciples dared to persuade Sun Fan, and no one dared to attract Sun Fan's attention and drive away the dead leaves that kept falling on Jiang Kuo's corpse.

Sun Fan squatted down stiffly, leaned back a little, sat on the grass, and reached out to gently caress the dead leaves that fell on Jiang Kuo's face and chest, and the collapsed chest was also the place where the most dead leaves gathered.

Sun Fan is not only sad, the war is imminent, he has repeatedly lost the generals, he is difficult to control himself under the impact of sadness and anger, the composure on weekdays no longer exists, it is difficult for anyone to stand in Sun Fan's point of view to be as calm as ever, the bones of the righteous brothers are not cold, Jiang Kuo and these elites died tragically, Sun Fan raised his head and said to Qi Yuanfeng, who lowered his head and looked solemn: "Is it really Qin Jian's doing?"

Qi Yuanfeng continued: "Hall Master, this matter is a little strange, the murderer has just entered the forest when the Lord of the Altar King arrived, how can such a master appear in this remote place, although Jiang Protector and Lord Dou Tan have sword wounds on their bodies, but the fatal places are heavy punches, everything seems that Qin Jian must be the murderer." ”

Sun Fan was silently weak and relieved the resentment in his heart.

Qi Yuanfeng observed his words and continued to say: "But the hall master must also know that this matter should not be Qin Jian's practice, the prodigal son and Qin Jian are famous in the rivers and lakes, and his words and deeds are known in the rivers and lakes. Qin Jian has never been so ruthless, not to mention that Qin Jian has been adrift in the rivers and lakes for so many years, he should not have such a bloody feud with a top force in the rivers and lakes that he can't deal with at all, maybe there are a pair of eyes that have been watching us in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to devour us!"

Sun Fan looked at Qi Yuanfeng, got up unconsciously, and walked slowly in front of Qi Yuanfeng, his voice was obviously minimized, and said to Qi Yuanfeng: "Sword Demon?"

Qi Yuanfeng slowly shook his head and said softly, "He doesn't have this ability." ”

When Sun Fan heard this, he was shocked, and said as if he had an understanding: "Come to their headquarters?"

Qi Yuanfeng nodded unconsciously, and after a pause, he added: "We have to be careful, because this matter will never be done by Qin Jian, nor will it be done by the thief boy who was unconscious all the way." ”

Sun Fan sighed, looked at Qi Yuanfeng, didn't say anything, and looked at Jiang Kuo and the others, but in his heart he hoped that this was Qin Jian's doing, because a Qin Jian in the bright place He could make judgments and estimate everything, but he couldn't do anything about this terrible person who was hiding in the shadows and was obviously coming at them.

After a long time, Sun Fancai said to Qi Yuanfeng again: "The arrow is on the string, we must do what we should do, and then urge the order, we must all assemble at the time of Ding, this is the life and death of the branch, everyone has to fight to the death for our fate!"

Qi Yuanfeng looked at Sun Fan's firm attitude, answered, turned around and called out the two of them among the disciples of the Sword Alliance, muttered a few words in a low voice on the side, and then turned back, standing quietly beside Sun Fan, like Sun Fan, looking at Jiang Kuo's corpse carefully, maybe hoping to find some clues from it.
