Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Liu Xin, the second son of the Duke of Shu, fired his bow from left to right and beat the commander of his bodyguards into meat buns.
It's as swollen as a steamed bun, and it's still a steamed bun with missing stuffing.
"The crape myrtle and the blue bird turned into four parts, tell me who did this!
Who dares to do such a thing at the gate of our Duke's Mansion of Shu! "
The bodies of Ziwei and Qingniao were found an hour after the incident.
Because this is the most important place in the inner city, no idlers dare to wander here.
The angry second son Liu Xin kicked his guard commander away.
This was a master of the mid-level Dacheng realm, but he was easily kicked to the wall by the second young master Liu Xin.
A perfect interpretation of what it means to hit someone like hanging a painting.
Of course, in addition to his performance, the second young master Liu Xin's cultivation is actually pretty good.
"Check it for me, I want to know who did it!
All relevant persons must be investigated, whether it is Kunli Sect or something else, door to door!
I don’t believe that Ziwei and Qingniao couldn’t leave something on each other!
If you discover the existence of a high-grade Dacheng Realm, please report it to me immediately!
By the way... hurry up and mobilize the pro-army troops outside the city into the city.
Let the Tiger Guards protect me! "
The guard commander had told the second young master Liu Xin before that from his point of view, Ziwei and Qingniao were no match for each other.
The killer is at least a high-grade Dacheng state.
Although the second young master Liu Xin was angry, he did not lose his mind after all, and his reason was still there.
He knew that with the strength of Ziwei and Qingniao, even if the opponent was not in the high-grade Dacheng Realm, he would at least be the best in the middle-grade Dacheng Realm.
He had not seen the scene, but he still believed what the guard commander said.
Beating him was just to vent his anger.
The Tiger Guard is the most powerful guard in the Duke's Mansion.
The total number of people was less than a hundred.
They were all trained by the Duke of Shu at great cost.
Everyone's strength is at least low-grade Dacheng realm.
And good at combined attacks.
The main thing is the equipment they carry.
A complete set of royal-level armor and weapons.
Moreover, the armor and weapons were connected with chains made of cold iron.
Weapons are inseparable from armor.
This also resulted in their combat power being able to rise to a level above the basic level.
If two people attack together, they can fight against the middle-grade Dacheng realm.
A total of ten people are said to be able to compete with top-notch people!
Of course this is an exaggeration, and the second young master Liu Xin knows this very well.
But even if he can't fight the top class, it's still more than enough to protect him.
After all, the Tiger Guard is a guard, focusing more on protecting rather than killing enemies.
Regarding killing enemies, his father has a mysterious musketry team...
But only his father and his damn big brother could see that team.
He couldn't even see him.
When he thought of this, the second young master Liu Xin quickly walked towards the guard commander who had just fallen from the wall.
A critical attack is as fierce as a tiger.
A lot of stuffing was squeezed out of the face of the guard commander's bun.
Suddenly, countless fast horses galloped out of the Shu Duke's mansion.
Suddenly, people in Taiyuan City were in panic.
Of course, this panic has its limits.
Basically, it covers the most powerful group of people in Taiyuan City.
As for ordinary people...
Ah, we don’t know anything. It’s just that someone rides a horse in the street. Isn’t this a common thing?
An hour later, Liu Xin received a lot of information through the secret investigation team.
Among the information, the first thing Liu Xin discovered was the name of the second son of the Duke of Shu.
Liu Xin.
There is only one letter difference with his name.
But their status is very different.
Although Liu Xin is the senior brother of the Holy Sect, at least he has a title, but he is actually of little use.
Perhaps it can be regarded as a popular title among the disciples of the same generation.
But in the eyes of seniors and higher-generation disciples, it was nothing.
And this title comes in handy at the right time of the year.
Ten, twenty years passed.
You meet someone and claim to be Senior Brother Shengzong from twenty years ago.
Isn't this the biggest chicken in the world?
But in addition to this name that concerned him, Liu Xin also noticed that the second young master's authority was really quite large.
Not only were two hundred Guards troops transferred, there were also ten Tiger Guards among them.
The Duke of Shu is related to his uncle. The size of the Guards is one thousand men.
Being able to protect his second son with two hundred personal guards is already an incredible favor.
Not to mention the ten Tiger Guards.
These are the real soldiers of the Duke of Shu.
Although the Duke of Shu is a relative of the emperor, he is also a warrior who has actually been on the battlefield.
After all, his first identity is that of a noble queen, not the emperor's brother-in-law.
If these soldiers of his were put into the army, they would at least be mid-level officers.
But because these people gained the trust of the Duke of Shu, they also recognized the Duke of Shu.
Therefore, he became the general of the Duke of Shu.
He has been raised by the Shu Duke faction for generations.
We are already a family.
Even the family members of the generals will live a more enjoyable life than those of the Shu Duke faction.
Almost all noble families have family generals.
Family generals are also an important part of Xungui's strength.
And this part is not counted in the guard quota.
Because the general will incorporate the genealogy into the noble family.
According to the law, they are actually a family with different surnames.
If a general commits a crime and is sentenced to implicate the three clans, the head of the family will also be punished.
And if the main family is found guilty of implicating nine clans, then the general family will be the second clan to bear the brunt.
Therefore, these ten tiger guards are definitely the most loyal to the second young master Liu Xin.
I didn't expect that a rat could make this second young master go through so much trouble.
It seems that the strength of the rat is really terrifying.
Even Liu Xin himself would feel like a thorn in his back if he faced such a threat.
But now it was Linghu Shiheng who had him on his back.
"Elder brother, have you seen her?"
"Elder brother, is she okay now?"
"Elder brother, how is her martial arts?"
"Elder brother, is she really carrying that bracelet with her?"
"Elder brother..."
"So annoying!"
Liu Xin angrily scratched his ears and cheeks with both hands.
As soon as he comes back in the past two days, as soon as he meets Linghu Shiheng, countless senior brothers will definitely come to bother him.
"If you really want to know about that girl, go to Xiangshan to find her yourself."
Linghu Shiheng said confidently:
"Elder brother, don't worry, I will definitely go to Xiangshan to meet her openly!"
"Actually, what if the two of you meet secretly in private? Even if you decide to be private for life, it's not a bad idea to elope!
Have you really learned your chicken-crowing and dog-stealing skills from the dog's belly? "
Liu Xin waved his hand, wanting Linghu Shiheng to go away and stay away from him.
Unexpectedly, Linghu Shiheng was like a dog-skin plaster.
Perhaps the dog-skin plaster is the master of the art of cock-crowing and dog-robbery.
Just when Liu Xin was annoyed beyond measure, Fang Zihang finally returned.
Fang Zihang saw Linghu Shiheng, then turned to look at Liu Xin.
It took a long time before Fang Zihang came back to his senses.
"I haven't been home for just a few days, why has Lord Qi changed so much?"
Liu Xin was really convinced.
He pulled Linghu Shiheng to Fang Zihang, pointed at Linghu Shiheng's face and pinched the latter's big face.
"Take a good look at where your seventh master is here?"
"Then where did Master Qi go?"
Fang Zihang looked at Linghu Shiheng seriously and found that it was not his seventh master.
But this problem is too extreme.
"Why don't you ask Mr. Scar where he went?"
"What are you talking about? Senior brother, what are you talking about? Who is this?"
Liu Xin introduced the two parties speechlessly.
“It turns out he is Master Qi’s senior brother.
Then I will call you Mr. Liu. "
Linghu Shiheng found it interesting. He was actually not very old, only twenty-three years old.
Among the Holy Sect, he is also known as a problem child.
My favorite thing is to open the window.
Liu Xin briefly told Linghu Shiheng about Xiao Qi.
Linghu Shiheng couldn't help but sigh:
"Xiao Qi can now become the king of bandits.
But I have not yet become the king of casual cultivators. "
"The king of bandits, the king of casual cultivators???"
Fang Zihang looked confused.
Liu Xin explained for him:
"It's a joke, don't worry about it."
As Liu Xin said, this is indeed a joke.
Xiong Er once said that he would become the king of body refining in the future.
Rokuro is the king of casual cultivators, and he has carried forward the art of roosters, dogs, and robbers.
Xiao Qi dreams of becoming the king of bandits.
Now Rokuro and Xiaoqi have fulfilled their original dreams.
The other brothers and sisters are also moving towards their own goals.
As for Liu Xin, he once said that he would become the king of kings.
That is to say, he wants to become the eldest brother of all the brothers.
Of course, this could be done without any effort on his part.
After all, even if one of the senior brothers becomes the emperor, they still have to call him senior brother.
When he heard that the ideal of the King of Everything was the wish that this group of young people had made after secretly drinking for the first time when they were teenagers, Fang Zihang couldn't help but think back to what his childhood dream was?
The sad result is that he has been practicing hard under the guidance of his father since he was a child.
At that time, my only wish was to stop.
Thinking of this, Fang Zihang couldn't help but start to reflect.
Is it because his father was too strict that the brothers turned against him?
To do such an outrageous thing.
These days, he was also seriously thinking about the possibility of what Liu Xin said.
It turned out that there were indeed some clues.
He pointed at the brothers and raised the butcher's knife against their master.
But Fang Zihang didn't think much about it at that time.
I never imagined that the brothers who grew up together would take action against their master, who was his father.
Noticing that Fang Zihang's eyes were a little dull, Liu Xin quickly changed the topic.
Something terrible is happening in the city now.
The Duke of Shu searched everywhere, as if looking for some murderer.
Anyone who has reached the mid-level Dacheng realm will be invited to tea by the Duke of Shu.
Fang Zihang came back at the wrong time.
The people in charge of the search at the Duke's Mansion of Shu were three tiger guards.
Regardless of their strength, Fang Zihang had no confidence that he could avoid it just based on their eyesight.
The Key Inn was full of people, and Fang Zihang didn't hide it when he came in.
There was no way he could hide.
However, Liu Xin and Linghu Shiheng were fine. Firstly, their cultivation was not enough, and secondly, others did not know that they knew Fang Zihang.
Fang Zihang checked in again this time.
He was at another inn before.
While the three were discussing, the three of them looked in a certain direction at the same time.
downstairs!
They are on the third floor, and now there are obviously many people on the first floor. They are still the kind wearing armor. Their footsteps are heavy and there is the sound of armor scraping.
"Coming so soon!" Liu Xin frowned and said.
Generally speaking, as Taiyuan City is so big, the focus of the search is usually on those remote corners.
They live in one of the many large inns in the city.
Generally speaking, they won't be ranked that high.
"Am I being targeted? But I just came back from outside the city and didn't realize anyone was targeting me."
Fang Zihang was sure.
He is a type of warrior who is good at hiding his aura, and is extremely sensitive to tracking.
You can't go wrong.
Unless the opponent's cultivation level is a higher level than his.
But then there is no need to follow the characters.
It would be a bit embarrassing to deal with him directly.
The three of them did not hesitate for too long, because their heavy footsteps had already reached the third floor!
The second floor in the middle is directly skipped.
On the third floor of the inn, in the guest room separated by a room from Liu Xin and the others, three sturdy warriors were enjoying some kind of emotion that was not accepted by the world.
They didn't realize that someone was already targeting them.
They are just too weird.
Three burly men, but there was a hint of powdery air.
It just fits the conditions for the Shu government to pursue the murderer this time.
The Tiger Guards all agreed that the murderer who killed Ziwei and Blue Bird must have been contaminated by the scent of the two women.
Especially crape myrtle, her scent is a special kind of fragrance.
It is extremely difficult to remove the smell after contamination because the smell invades the body.
Because it is not poison, a strong person cannot force it out with internal force.
Moreover, there happens to be one of the Tiger Guards who is good at identifying smells. At this moment, he has changed into regular clothes and is wandering around Taiyuan City.
And the Tiger Guards will not search from house to house stupidly. The real method is always hidden under the table.
Half of the two hundred personal guards of the Duke of Shu hid in Taiyuan City, weaving a huge network.
And now those who are following the Tiger Guard in the search are all soldiers of the City Guard.
This tiger guard just received the information from the personal guard, and what he is doing now is just knocking on the mountain to shock the tiger.
The real killing move has already surrounded this inn.
It's a pity that the tiger guard who is good at distinguishing smells didn't come.
Three big men, smelling like powder, have never been to the land of fireworks.
This is what the innkeeper here promised with confidence.
Because the Duke of Shu did not disclose the reasons for the search.
Therefore, the shopkeeper only knows part of the information.
With this information, he dared to guarantee the truth.
Tiger Guard: "They really didn't go to the land of fireworks? Then where did the smell of powder on them come from? Is it so strong that you can smell it from a long distance away? How can three grown men smell like powder?"
The shopkeeper: "Master Jun, don't worry. I guarantee it with my life. These three people have never been to the land of fireworks!"
Tiger Guard: "Then I will believe you for now!"
The shopkeeper: "Don't worry, this reward..."
The shopkeeper rubbed his fingers. He was just the shopkeeper. The inn was not his, but the owner's. He was just a salary earner.
Therefore, when an opportunity like this to make extra money comes, don’t think about running away.
Tiger Guard: "After confirmation, you will be indispensable!"
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, thinking in his heart: "How can these three men go to the land of fireworks to find women if they do that kind of thing?
Besides, they haven't left all day and night, of course I can guarantee that!
These ten taels of silver are stable! "
The Tiger Guard leading the team was almost certain that he had made no mistake.
The common people are simple. This shopkeeper is slick, and no matter who he is, he is not very good at lying.
Moreover, the three burly men had never been to the land of fireworks, and they smelled of powder.
With these three factors added together, how could this be wrong?
The tiger guard asked a soldier to go out to report the news, but he himself was full of vigilance.
The murderer beheaded a middle-grade Dacheng realm.
He himself is only a low-grade Dacheng realm, wearing heavy armor, and he is not afraid that a middle-grade Dacheng realm will kill him in one fell swoop.
But still be cautious.
This is the experience he gained from the battlefield.
On the third floor, Liu Xin and the other three were also waiting with bated breath.
Fang Zihang whispered:
"Otherwise, I'll fight out. You won't be implicated."
Liu Xin glanced at him, he was definitely an old bandit.
When encountering this situation, the first thought that comes to mind is to get out.
"Don't worry, let's take a look at the situation.
Logically speaking, if you just entered the city, no one would be targeting you. "
Liu Xin had a reason for saying this.
The rat killed the crape myrtle and the blue bird in no more than two hours.
It was probably at that time that Fang Zihang came back from outside the city.
In fact, someone discovered Fang Zihang's cultivation, and it was unlikely that he would be named as a suspect.
Therefore, it is more likely that the person who came here has other goals.
But if Fang Zihang takes action rashly, his suspicion will be confirmed.
Especially Fang Zihang also uses a knife.
Liu Xin's three sword strikes today are still deeply remembered by Liu Xin.
Especially the last one.
It is simply the ultimate in swordsmanship.
And killing one person with one knife fits his nature as a killer.
As Liu Xinsi saw it, the footsteps outside were approaching.
Fang Zihang was obviously very nervous.
The black knives have already appeared in his hands.
Liu Xin put one hand on the opponent's shoulder.
He shook his head to signal the other person to calm down.
And his hand was also holding the scabbard of the Po Dao Sword.
He gave Fang Zihang a look.
If someone from outside really breaks in, he will be the first to take action.
With the sharpness of the broken sword, no matter what kind of armor the person who comes in is wearing, as long as it is not a superb armor, he is sure to break it with one sword.
Fang Zihang also clenched the black knife in his hand.
Linghu Shiheng glanced at the black sword, and then at the three-inch Dao-breaking sword in his senior brother's hand.
With his eyesight, which he had honed over many years of traveling around the world, he could clearly feel the power of these two weapons.
Especially the sword of the eldest brother, it is simply the king of swords. The sharpness seems to be able to cut through his senses.
Xiao Qi also had a gun, which gave him a similar feeling.
He also asked Xiao Qi secretly, and Xiao Qi said that the spear was given to him by his senior brother.
Linghu Shiheng didn't have any jealousy, he just felt that he should have such a weapon.
Whether it's a knife or a sword, or a stick, an axe, a sickle or the like.
In short, he was envious.
But what he himself didn't know was that there was actually a hint of expectation hidden in his heart.
The footsteps passed by the door of the three people's room, but because of the atmosphere of the scene in the room, Hu Wei felt slightly suspicious when he passed by.
Soldiers like him who have fought many battles on the battlefield have developed an innate sixth sense.
He had a vague feeling that it might be very dangerous if he chose to enter that door.
But here and now, he had no chance to think too much and had to have a clear goal.
If there is to be an investigation, it must be done after the fact.
"pS. It’s time to vote today!"
