Ning Xiao and Li Linxi talked and walked towards the northwest with a smile, and in the blink of an eye, ten days passed, and they arrived at Huya Village in Baihumen. Huya Village is located at the junction of the Qinglong Gang and the White Tiger Gate, and since ancient times, there have been big cities on all traffic arteries, and Huya Village is no exception. There was originally a Huya City here, which was the residence of Wang Xiaoyun, the second master of the White Tiger Gate of the previous generation. It's just that the so-called Huya City is only left with ruins, and people who are nostalgic for their homeland gather here to form a village, which is still named after Huya, fortunately, there is an endless stream of pedestrians in the past, and there is always a village of old and weak people to eat. Well, these are what an old man and Ning Xiao said in the lobby on the first floor of an inn in Huya Village.

"It was the night of August 15 of the year after the end of the first Great River Debate, and we were driven out of our homes by a group of people until we were outside Huya City. Then Huya City was set on fire. The old man said with nostalgia, and nodded with a smile, "Huya City, at that time, it was the second largest city under the command of the entire White Tiger Gate. Overnight, it was ruined. The flames were ten feet high, and a hundred miles away, a heat wave was coming. Thousands of miles away, the sky is full of red clouds! It is said that the fire of Huya City can be seen in Huju Rock! The fire is too great to be extinguished. It wasn't until the entire Huya City was burned to a white ground that the fire burned down before it was extinguished. ”

Ning Xiao opened his eyes wide and sighed, "Such a big city, burned down overnight?"

The old man nodded affirmatively, "When I raised my eyes, I saw green smoke curling, and when I looked up, I was full of ruins." The prosperity of the past is all fleeting. The central situation is not enough for outsiders. As soon as the old man finished speaking, he saw Ning Xiao blinking his bright eyes and looking at him with admiration, coughed awkwardly at the moment, took a sip of tea, and then added: "This sentence is what I heard from others, and it is quite imposing......"

Ning Xiao shook his head but said: "Uncle is telling us stories~ Of course, how to have momentum, how to tell vividly~~"

When the old man heard this, his heart was very comfortable, this child could really speak, and every wrinkle on his face seemed to be smiling, so he continued: "But the most surprising thing is not this, but after such a fire, none of the people in the city were injured, do you say it is magical?"

Ning Xiao said to Ying He, who was familiar with the road: "It's amazing!" The reason why it is said that he is familiar with the road is that the young man has listened to Bai Xiaosheng's storytelling too much, and he has a lot of experience in how to cater to storytellers.

"There was a fire in the city, what about the deputy gang leader Wang Xiaoyun?" The old man said wonderfully, and Li Linxi, who was originally absent-minded, was also attracted to it, and couldn't help but interject.

The old man had already noticed the heroic girl, and when he saw Li Linxi asking a question at this moment, he hurriedly said: "I was about to talk about this matter! We explored in the ruins for many days, and finally found the body of the city lord Wang Xiaoyun in the ruins of the original city lord's mansion. ”

"Ah......" Li Linxi covered his mouth and called out in surprise, "You're all fine, but he's dead?"

The old man shook his head, "After the body of the city lord was discovered, an experienced servant went to check it once, and found that the city lord should have died before the fire, and the cause of death was a wound in the chest. Although the fire destroyed a lot of evidence, and even scorched the body of the city lord, it was not burned to ashes after all......

Before the old man finished speaking, Ning Xiao asked, "The cause of death was a wound on the chest?

"yes...... In the following days, we have been looking for the murderer, this murderer is really vicious, and such a good person as the city lord will kill him...... In order to destroy the corpses and destroy the traces, he even burned down the entire Huya City......" The old man said as he wiped the corners of his eyes fiercely, "Fortunately, the sky net is restored, and it is not leaky! That murderer has revealed a big flaw! Let us know his true identity!"

"Who is it? it must be a vicious person, right?" Ning Xiao asked urgently. Since seeing Chen Liang's conspiracy to resign himself to fate and harm others and not to himself, Ning Xiao especially wanted to hear a story about the conspiracy being exposed and punished. It's a pity that reality is never a story, and the bad guys don't necessarily get punished.

The old man didn't answer directly, but said something else, "Then again, there are two juniors under the knees of the city lord, one is a daughter and the other is an apprentice. Over the years, there has been no news of this daughter, and I think she may have died in the fire that year, and the poor child with no bones left...... Another apprentice, who has made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes over the years, is nine feet tall, has phoenix eyes and long hair, and the key is to hold a Ying Long knife, the head of a faction, so not majestic!"

Ning smiled and said in surprise: "Guan Yan, Wang Xiaoyun is Guan Yan's master?"

"It's this wolf-hearted thing!" the old man said hatefully, "He is strong in martial arts, and we don't have the ability to seek justice from him." But the knife on the chest of the city lord Wang was clearly caused by the Ying Long knife in the hand of the surnamed Guan! He had also been missing for a while, and everyone was very happy to get the news of him again, but when the fellow who went to find him saw the Ying Long knife, he understood everything!"

Li Linxi was still a little puzzled, and asked ignorantly, "What do you understand?"

"The Ying Long Knife has never been used before, it is the blade that Guan Yan held when he reappeared in the rivers and lakes a few months later! This knife was built by himself, before the establishment of the Blue Dragon Gang, this was his unique blade! You said that he was not a murderer, who believed that!" the old man said with an oath.

Ning Xiao shook his head, "The Guan Yan I've seen is not such a person. I think there must be some misunderstanding in this. Well, there are a lot of doubts in this, why did the entire Huya City be burned by destroying the corpses? Since it was to burn the Huya City, why did all the residents in the city be driven away in advance? Why was such a big Huya City easily burned to a white background? And what were the identities of those who drove everyone away? These are not clear, but with a Ying Long knife, how can Guan Yan's guilt be proved? In my heart, Guan Yan is a hero who has the courage to take responsibility!" Ning Xiao remembered the burly figure who had carried out the punishment of three swords and six holes on himself at noon in the nameless clearing outside Jimai City a while ago, and he definitely couldn't believe that such a great person would do such a thing as killing his master.

The old man wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start. A hint of inspiration flashed in Ning Xiao's mind, "I have played with the Ying Long Knife carefully, and it has a history of at least fifty or sixty years, maybe Guan Yan got it from elsewhere and blamed him for it!"

The old man said that he couldn't laugh, so he had to say as a person who came over: "I know the face and I don't know the heart~~" The topic stopped, and then the old man mysteriously talked about another topic: "Anyway, have you heard of the Tianchi Conference?"
