Under the same bright moon at night, Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue, who were rushing back to Hejiapu from the Fuyuan Escort Bureau, walked side by side. The moonlight fell, gradually lengthening their figures. Jiang Ningxue looked at the young man beside her, her sword-shaped eyebrows He was frowning, his eyes flickering, and he was thinking hard.
He Zhidao is dead and He Ji is on the run. The Hejia Fort outside Zangbei City is still majestic, but it seems as if nothing has happened.
"What's wrong? Don't you believe Xiong Feng's words?" Jiang Ningxue opened her lips lightly and asked.
Gu Xiao frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "I believe what Brother Xiong said, but I always feel that something is wrong, and I just can't explain it." Brother Xiong said that that day, He Kui went to the Fuyuan Escort Bureau and bluntly said that the Fuyuan Escort Bureau was in trouble. Please, ask Brother Xiong and others to help him stage a bitter trick. As long as he can deceive He Zhidao, we can save Brother Chen and the Fuyuan Escort Bureau."
"Brother Xiong couldn't believe it at first. Why did He Kui help the Fuyuan Escort Agency when he was clearly the current head of the He family? It wasn't until He Kui told the truth about Miaozhuang's past and his identity in private that Brother Xiong agreed. In this way, Brother Xiong and everyone from the Fuyuan Escort Bureau pretended to be captured by He Kui and deceived He Zhidao."
Jiang Ningxue said suspiciously: "There is nothing wrong with what Xiong Feng said. When I first met Miss Feng in the mountains behind He's house, she also mentioned the affairs of the Fuyuan Escort Bureau. Now that I think about it, It should be He Kui who asked her to release everyone in the Fuyuan Escort Bureau, but she is eager to recover the liger and avenge Fengjiabao, so she is not in the castle at this time."
"Yes, the cause and effect, including what Brother Xiong said, are all fine. By the way, Miss Jiang still remembers He Kui when he told us about the disappearance of the Chongyang Brush... the last person to see the Chongyang Brush was Who is it?" Gu Xiao also admitted that there was nothing suspicious or flawed in what Brother Xiong said, so he mentioned the disappearance of the Double Ninth Festival pen to Miss Jiang.
Jiang Ningxue tried her best to think back for a moment and said: "He said that that day he and Jin Buyi teamed up to assassinate He Zhidao, but were defeated. He Zhidao left for the back mountain and let the Chongyang pen caress the injured Jin Buyi ..."
"Yes, he also said that the reason why He Zhidao did not take his and Jin Buyi's lives was because the mysterious man suddenly broke in, and the mysterious man was attracted away by the roar of the liger beast. He Zhidao It was for the sake of the liger that I didn't kill him and Jin Buyi." Gu Xiao added.
When Jiang Ningxue heard Gu Xiao mention the mysterious man again, her expression changed slightly, and she quickly recovered: "It seems that the mysterious man has nothing to do with the disappearance of the Chongyang Brush. Didn't He Kui also say that the Chongyang Brush is fashionable in Hua Chao?" In the garden..."
"This is what I am puzzled about. All the people in the world have their own agendas... Miss Jiang still remembers when that person wanted to kill me. How did she start? From the few words he said, it seems that he has no grudge against He Zhidao, and he didn't come for the ligers, so what exactly was he after? Could it be that he came for our group of people... "
Rather than talking to Jiang Ningxue, Gu Xiao was talking to himself, sorting out what he thought was unusual. What Jiang Ningxue said before about "the master's mind is unclear" was not what Gu Xiao was talking about. He didn't agree, but because of Miss Jiang's face, Gu Xiao didn't say it clearly. 33
Jiang Ningxue already knew that the young man next to her was mentally alert, and she was afraid that the more she spoke, the more he would notice, so she simply kept silent.
Seeing this, Gu Xiao said that it was Miss Jiang who saw the doubts in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Miss Jiang, I don't have any other meaning, I just feel that these facts are difficult to understand."
Jiang Ningxue did not continue on the identity of the mysterious person, but changed the subject and said: "Since we have gone to the Fuyuan Escort Bureau, where should we go next."
Just as he was about to answer Jiang Ningxue's words, he saw a group of people coming from a distance in the direction of Hejiabao. Gu Xiao picked up Jiang Ningxue who didn't know why, stood up from the ground, and jumped straight to the treetops. Before Miss Jiang could wonder, He opened his mouth, then motioned her not to speak, and then motioned Miss Jiang to look down with her hand.
The guards of the He family, dressed in gold, silver and bronze clothes, worked together to carry a linen bag and walked quickly. The contents in the bag were so heavy that these martial arts practitioners struggled to carry them.
As for the two leaders of this group of nursing homes, one is wearing heavy makeup but is dressed as a man. The other is about thirty years old and has a goatee under his chin. They are not the Laughing Yama and Thousand-Armed Tathagata in front of the He family's mansion in Zangbei City. Are the two worshipers of the He family?
Gu Xiaodu became suspicious, lowered his voice and said to Jiang Ningxue beside him: "He Zhidao has been executed. Logically speaking, these worshipers and nurses recruited by the He family should be dismissed. Why are they still in the He family? "
Jiang Ningxue said: "You have been unconscious for three days and you still don't know these things. Ever since Miss Feng left Hejiabao to pursue He Ji, He Kui has become the new owner of Hejiabao. Some of the guards in the hospital have a bad reputation, but He Kui bluntly told them to serve Hejiabao well and let the past go... As outsiders, it is not convenient for us to say anything."
"What about Brother Yuwen and Xiaojie..." Gu Xiao asked again.
"After Yuwen Tuo woke up and saw that everyone was fine, he wanted to say goodbye and go back to Niidaomen to report the incident in Hejiabao. He Kui persuaded Yuwen Tuo on the grounds that he also wanted to find out the real culprit behind the Fengjiabao tragedy. Tuo temporarily guarded the Hejiapu incident. Although Xiaojie impressed the Jianghu guests deeply in the Hejiapu arena, after all, his reputation is not well-known in the world. No one will believe his words." Jiang Ningxue was patient. Patiently explained to Gu Xiao.
Looking at the figures of Xiao Yan Luo and the other two people leading a group of He Family nursing staff carrying sacks away from each other, Gu Xiao made up his mind and said to Jiang Ningxue beside him: "Let's follow up and take a look, take a look at them What kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd?"
Seeing Jiang Ningxue nodding in agreement, Gu Xiao and Gu Xiao didn't wait any longer and used Qing Kung Fu to catch up. Although when registering in front of the He family mansion, Gu Xiao passed two moves by Laughing Yama and Thousand-Armed Tathagata. Even though Gu Xiao was a mirror-breaking weapon in the Eighth Formation of the Stone Gate at the back of the He family, he didn't know the details of the martial arts of the two men, so he just followed them from a distance and did not get close to prevent them from being discovered.
Not long after, Gu Xiao and the others followed the group to a desolate place outside Hejiabao. Everyone stopped moving forward. Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue hurriedly hid behind a tree and looked at Xiao Yanluo and his group.
"Get out of here, the Lord of the Fort has already said that as long as we serve Hejiabao well, let bygones be bygones." Laughing Yama Luo's sharp voice was particularly harsh in the open space outside Hejiabao.
"Humph, Laughing Yama, the Laughing Enlightenment really makes people feel refreshed during happy events." The Thousand-Armed Tathagata on the side was still at odds with Laughing Yama. Previously, there was Jin Buyi restraining the two of them in front of the He family's mansion, but Jin Buyi was not there. , the sarcasm in Thousand-Armed Tathagata's words became even stronger than before.
"What Fan Daxia said is true. Let's talk about it, our fort master. Brother Jin is still injured... Hejiabao's enshrined affairs will be managed by me for the time being. I don't want to let down the fort master's hard work. I hope Fan Daxia will do more." Zhao Fu is the one." How could Laughing Yama fail to hear the sarcasm of Thousand-Armed Tathagata, but the more the opponent showed off his power of words, the more unwilling he was to show his unwillingness. When Laughing Yama retaliated, he did not forget to mention the power in his hand again. Go straight to the opponent's sore spot.
"You...you..." Thousand-Armed Tathagata was defeated at the hands of Xiaoyan Luo in the He family arena. He was not angry for a long time. For so long, he always wanted to regain some ground with words, but this time he was still frustrated. , and had no choice but to turn bitterly to the He family nurses who were watching the show.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and get to work." Thousand-Armed Tathagata shouted to several He family nursing homes.
When the nursing staff saw this, they looked at each other, knowing that Thousand-Armed Tathagata was not something they, the nursing staff, could afford to offend. After looking at each other, they began to busy themselves.
Although the nursing staff are not experts, they are all Jianghu people with strong martial arts. In a short time, they have dug a deep pit in this desolate place, and then everyone works together to push the linen bag into the deep pit. In the pit, they all used their palms to cover the soil and bury them.
"Okay, let's go back to the castle quickly. Lord He is still waiting for our reply."
Xiao Yanluo saw that what He Kui had told him was over, and urged everyone to rush back to Hejiabao to answer the question. The group left the place in a hurry and disappeared into the vast night... When these people were far away, Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue just left. Emerge from hiding behind a tree.
The two of them walked to the place where Xiaoyan Luo and others were buried just now, and investigated carefully. They found that although they had been buried, there were some blood stains on the ground, which still shocked Gu and Xiao.
Looking at each other, Gu Xiao frowned and said, "Miss Jiang..."
General Gu Xiao was about to speak. Jiang Ningxue already knew the young man's thoughts and said, "Let's see and then talk."
Gu Xiao responded and signaled Jiang Ningxue to retreat slightly. When Jiang Ningxue left Zhang Yu, he waved his palms, and vigorous internal energy came from his palms. After a muffled sound, the snow-covered soil buried in the He Family Nursing Home was blown away by the force of his palms. Open them all.
Jiang Ningxue and Gu Xiao immediately looked into the pit. The heavy sack was lying quietly in the pit, and blood was still leaking from the sack.
Jumping into the bottom of the pit, before touching the sack, Gu Xiao smelled the strong smell of blood. Covering his nose with his hand, Gu Xiao stretched out his hand, grabbed the corner of the sack, filled his palm with internal force, and flicked it hard. The bag that several He family nurses had just lifted was easily thrown up by Gu Xiao, and then Gu Xiao jumped out of the pit and came to the sack.
Jiang Ningxue has spent some time walking in the rivers and lakes. It is inevitable for people in the rivers and lakes to see blood, but this is the first time she smells such a strong smell of blood. She can't help frowning and retreating slightly. Gu Xiao saw this and pointed out with his sword, Using the inner strength of his fingertips, he opened the mouth of the linen bag.
As the mouth of the bag opened, an even stronger smell of blood entered the nostrils of Gu and Xiao. Even though Gu Xiao was prepared, he was still choked by the smell of blood and kept retreating.
Jiang Ningxue, who was a little further away, looked intently at the mouth of the bag that had been opened. Her beautiful eyebrows frowned even more tightly, and her already pale face became even paler, and she looked even more disgusting. Gu Xiao looked in the direction of Jiang Ningxue's eyes. At the mouth of the bag, as expected, what was contained in the bag were several corpses. These corpses were all dressed in gold, silver and bronze clothes, and three of them were even dressed in He family brocade clothes...
The corpses alone were not enough to make Jiang Ningxue gag, but these corpses had all been disemboweled. The moment the sack was opened, the hearts, livers, and intestines of these corpses came out along the mouth of the sack and flowed all over the floor. , that pungent smell, let alone a girl like Jiang Ningxue, even Gu Xiao frowned.
After Jiang Ningxue glanced at it, she no longer wanted to look at it. She turned her head away and said to Gu Xiao, "It seems that these people have been ordered by He Kui to go to the mountain behind He's house and die in front of the liger." All the corpses mentioned in the He family's enshrined and guarded courtyard were collected and buried outside the He family's fort."
It was normal for Jiang Ningxue to think so, but as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the decisive voice of the young man beside her.
"wrong."
Jiang Ningxue knew that the young man was always alert and observant, but she really didn't want to look at those disgusting corpses anymore, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Xiao only wanted to find out what was in the Hejia Fort that made him feel strange all the time. He ignored the corpses and internal organs on the ground, pulled off the corners of his green shirt, covered his mouth and nose, and stepped forward to investigate.
Some people died, but not completely...
