Chapter 43: Self-Inflicted Cleverness
Listening to the sound of the wind flying by outside the pit, Murong Nianhua was both surprised and happy in his heart, and he couldn't believe that he had escaped from the enemy's terrible pursuit in this way?
Bursts of sharp pain came from his ankles, but Murong Nianhua didn't dare to rashly pull open the iron clamp, for fear that the sound of "rolling" would lead the pursuers to go and return.
It wasn't until the heavy rain closed all vision and hearing that Murong Nianhua breathed a sigh of relief, pulled open the iron clamp, took out the golden medicine he carried with him, and applied it to the injured part.
――――
Xue Nianci had been standing in the heavy rain for more than half an hour, and the rain poured off the yellow juice on her face to hide her tender skin, revealing her peerless face.
But Xue Nianci still remained motionless against the back wall of a house, quietly listening to the conversation of the people in the house through a small hole that was quietly pierced by the sharp edge of the divine sword.
This house is located on a mountain beam in the vast dense forest in the east of Taiyuan Fucheng, the mountain beam to the front suddenly falls off the cliff, the same as the deep slope on both sides, the cliff is full of big trees, deep and hidden, the courtyard is separated from the mountain village that exists in the Liang Valley, it is not too lonely and will not be disturbed by the people in the village, it is really an excellent retreat for leisure and coolness.
With Xue Nianci's appearance, it is simply impossible to talk about it if you want to secretly inquire about the news without being noticed. But Xue Nianci has her own opinions, and the reason why she chose to act alone is because of a clue provided by Chai Shaoning: Sun Renshou, who has always shown himself as a businessman, is actually a hidden master.
If Chai Shaoning knew that Xue Nianci had changed the decision of his peers because of his words, I don't know what his thoughts would be?
Xue Nianci's method is actually very simple, she just changed into wide and shabby clothes, stiffened her body, and then wiped her yellow cheeks with medicinal juice, so she well disguised her appearance and figure, and lived in an inconspicuous inn next to "Sun Ji Silk Village" as a peasant woman who defected to her relatives from Shaanxi to Jin and lost contact.
Fortunately, "Sun Ji Silk Village" is located next to a prosperous avenue in the north of the city, and there are many shops on the left and right, otherwise it is not easy to find such a suitable inn.
For two consecutive nights, Xue Nianci sneaked into the Sun Mansion, but found nothing, and even when the whole city was under martial law and the evil people such as Venerable Shengchuan were arrested, there was still calm in the Sun Mansion.
Xue Nianci began to suspect that Sun Renshou was actually just a former giant bandit living in seclusion, and as for Murong Nianhua's stay, it was purely a coincidence.
But that afternoon, Xue Nianci suddenly found a group of unfamiliar faces outside the Sun Mansion that she had not seen before. Soon after these people entered the village, a large number of family members of the Sun Mansion began to leave the house one after another. In the evening, Sun Renshou himself finally went out in the car, accompanied by the old housekeeper Sun Zhong, but the people who were protecting him were no longer the Sun Mansion family who had seen their faces in the past two days, but the whole group of strangers who suddenly appeared.
Although I don't know where Sun Renshou Xingshi is going, this kind of secret way is obviously not normal. Xue Nianci then checked out and left the store, followed all the way, and arrived outside the mansion on the east mountain after late nightfall.
Although the house is not big, it is very thick, and when Xue Nianci is worried about not being able to get close to the location of the doors and windows and not being able to hear the conversation of the people in the house, it happens that it is raining heavily. The sound of the rain did a good job of masking Xue Nianci's actions, giving her the opportunity to slowly stab a small hole in the wall with her divine sword without being noticed by Sun Renshou, who had a strong internal force.
The mansion was obviously not Sun Renshou's property outside the city, because Sun Renshou in the hall was chatting with the strange samurai leader who was eating and drinking with him: "No wonder the young master has not been in contact with me these days, and I can't imagine that he has such a hidden place outside the Taiyuan Mansion." ”
"There's nothing wrong with being careful. The local accent of the strange samurai leader is a little Sichuan, in his fifties, he is not too tall, similar to the short and fat Sun Renshou, but his face is very large, with thick lips and a big mouth, like a silly countryman. From Sun Renshou's title, Xue Nianci knew that this person's name was Yue Rongquan, and he had only recently arrived in Taiyuan Mansion with Venerable Shengchuan.
"I don't know anything. When the wine was full, Sun Renshou, who was drunk and flushed, seemed to have no scruples, unbuttoned his clothes, threw out a fat shoulder, and asked Yue Rongquan with a cup: "The young master has a family history, why do you want to be willing to get the dragon swordsmanship?"
"Isn't it for his mother?" Yue Rongquan didn't seem to drink too much, but he also revealed Murong Nianhua's family affairs to Sun Renshou without concealment: "The Holy Mother's swordsmanship is unpredictable, but the talented and intelligent master of the sect has obtained her true inheritance, but it is difficult to make an inch of progress after reaching the current achievement. The young master suspected that the Holy Mother had reservations about the swordsmanship taught by the master, so he wanted to find another peerless swordsmanship for his mother. In this way, even if the Holy Mother does not hide her secrets, the master of the door can also get a glimpse of the way to break through!"
"It is said that the ghost mother treats Murong Shanshan as her own, and listening to you, they also have their own ghosts, and they are not as harmonious as rumored by the outside world. After Sun Renshou finished speaking, he laughed insolently.
There was no way to hide Sun Renshou's mouth, but Yue Rongquan just smiled incomprehensibly, touched Sun Renshou with the cup, took a sip on his lips and put it down.
"Brother Yue is too unbold!" Sun Renshou drank all the wine in the cup, and then poured himself and asked: "The ancient family is famous for its swordsmanship, and Xiao Xiaoyan and my master are sworn brothers, can't he ask Fengwu Villa for a sword book for his concubine?"
"How can everything be seen on the outside?" Yue Rongquan snorted: "The ancient family is sanctimonious and always wary of outsiders, how can they easily pass on their mastery to others?"
This is true. Sun Renshou did seem to have drunk a little too much, and said with a wicked smile: "Xiao Xiaoyan is probably not kind to his righteous brother." There are many masters in Fengyuemen, but he just let Bai Wenxiu, that idiot, pretend to be an evil fisherman. There is no impermeable wall in the world, especially Bai Wenxiu's special image, when the truth is leaked, it is not difficult for people to guess Bai Wenxiu's true identity, and then think of his special relationship with the Gu family, at that time-" Sun Renshou didn't say any more, Chong Yue Rong squeezed his eyes, and he laughed evilly.
Yue Rongquan was stunned, even he didn't expect this, but listening to Sun Renshou's analysis, it did make some sense. Outsiders regard Xiao Xiaoyan as an arm of Fengwu Villa, and only the people around Xiao Xiaoyan know that except for Gu Zhenming, the owner of the village, the other disciples of the Gu family are actually not friendly to Xiao Xiaoyan, but it is too alarmist to say that Xiao Xiaoyan will deal with Fengwu Villa because of this.
Yue Rongquan felt ridiculous, and said sarcastically: "Brother Sun is so smart, guess why Lu Xiufeng also coveted the Dragon Sword Technique? ”
"Isn't this simple?" Sun Renshou didn't think about it: "The Lu family's swordsmanship was originally extracted by Lu Xiufeng from the large number of sword scores he looted when he was a thief, and it has become his habit to rob when he sees a good sword score." ”
Yue Rong chuckled in his heart, and became vigilant, but his face was quietly tentative: "The inside story of the Lu family, how can Brother Sun be so clear?"
Sun Renshou, who was eating a lot of food, replied without raising his head: "Because I am also one of the members of the Heavenly Thieves in your mouth!"
"What are you talking about?" Yue Rongquan's eyes finally showed a look of shock, and he lost his voice: "Brother Sun, don't talk nonsense!"
"The strength of the heavenly thief, how can you people peep?" Sun Renshou raised his head again, his eyes had become shrewd and ruthless, full of murderous aura.
"I didn't expect Murong Nianhua to attack Tianyong's nephew, otherwise how could he succeed?" Sun Renshou said with remorse and anger in his words: "Since his whereabouts in my mansion were leaked, he has stopped contacting me, I am sending people to look for him everywhere, but he took the initiative to send it to the door." ”
"Choke!" Yue Rongquan, who had always sneered at Sun Renshou with a playful mentality, knew that the person who was really being played with was himself. The huge psychological contrast suddenly made Yue Rongquan unable to hold his breath, drew his sword and pointed at Sun Renshou's throat and threatened: "The young master is just borrowing Brother Sun's subordinates to use it, and then he will take you back to Fengwu Villa, and it will also save you from doing this humble deed outside, Brother Sun, don't be ignorant." ”
There was a loud "pop", and the cups, plates, and chopsticks on the table fell to the ground. Yue Rong didn't even see how Sun Renshou made his hand? The long sword had already been slapped across the table, and he couldn't pull it back after using two forces.
"Murong Nianhua is young, but he is even more vicious than his son Xiao Xiaoyan. Sun Renshou said coldly: "He hasn't been in contact with me for a long time, but today he suddenly appeared and forced me to send Jia Ding to act as his thug, clearly trying to blame me, so as to cover up your murder and arson." ”
Listening to Sun Renshou's gloomy tone, looking at Sun Renshou's fat palm that was as hairy as a beast's claw on the sword, Yue Rongquan felt furious in his heart, threw away his sword, and jumped back from the table.
At this time, the shouting and shouting were loud, and the thieves who were hiding in the next room and eavesdropping on the movement poured into the hall, leaving only two big men in the doorway who had been gossiping with Sun Zhong, the housekeeper of the Sun Mansion.
Sun Zhong, the old housekeeper of the Sun Mansion, has white hair, looks older than Sun Renshou, is not tall, looks kind and elegant, and has been laughing and listening to the nonsense of the two, and nodding his head from time to time, looking like a slave.
The two thieves who were taking pleasure in teasing the honest Sun Zhong had already made it clear when they saw the matter, and their smiling faces immediately showed yin poison, one left and one right, and stabbed Sun Zhong in the ribs of the waist with a knife.
The hands of the two of them were raised, their throats tightened, and the sound of the cervical vertebrae shattering suddenly sounded in their heads.
Strangled two big men like pinching two bedbugs, Sun Zhong's face still did not change, full of smiles, as if he had never done anything, his eyes didn't even look, his hands moved like phantoms, and he had already copied the two steel knives that were about to fall to the ground in his hands, and his movements were fast but calm. After that, he didn't make a gesture, and his figure had risen like lightning, and fell strangely and silently outside the living room door.
