Gu Xiaotian returned to the inn, thinking about what the tea stall master said in his mind, while looking at the two poems on the paper in a daze.
He already had some ideas about these two poems.
While he was still thinking, there was a knock on the door.
Yu Huan pushed open the door, his face a little anxious, "Commander, something happened."
Gu Xiaotian frowned slightly. He had been a little worried these days. What he was most afraid of was hearing the words "something happened".
But now, what he was worried about has come.
Yu Huan said: "Zi Yang and the other three were attacked outside the city. Zi Yang's junior brother is now in very dangerous condition."
Gu Xiaotian was shocked. He never expected that the first people to be attacked would be Ziyang and the others.
In fact, the presence of these three little Taoist priests is not high. After entering the city, they did not have much communication with Gu Xiaotian. Instead, they were busy with their own affairs. They also showed indifference to the Leng family. .
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Do you know who did it?"
Yu Huan shook his head, "Zi Yang said he didn't see it clearly. I'm sending my men to check. Maybe we can get some news in a while."
In the end, Gu Xiaotian decided to go check on Junior Brother Ziyang first.
When they arrived at Ziyang's room, Junior Brother Ziyang was in very bad condition. His face was extremely pale, without a trace of blood, and his eyes were tightly closed. If there wasn't a faint breath of breath, he would have thought that the person lying there was a dead person.
Ziyang had a sad look on his face. When he saw Gu Xiaotian coming, he stood up quickly.
Xiao Yinyin arrived here early. It was a coincidence. Xiao Yinyin was shopping near the city gate, and happened to see Ziyang and his party hurrying into the city. He originally wanted to say hello to these three little Taoist priests. She also noticed the wounded at a glance.
At this time, Xiao Yinyin was sweating profusely and was grinding herbs with a small bowl and a small hammer. His face also looked uncertain and very sad.
Gu Xiaotian asked about the injury and knew that it was extremely serious. Fortunately, Ziyang's junior brother was a good fortune teller, and the branch was only about half an inch away from his heart.
Gu Xiaotian called Ziyang outside the house and asked, "Remember carefully, what are the characteristics of the person who hurt you?"
Ziyang shook his head and said helplessly: "It doesn't have any characteristics."
Lu Shui indeed has an ordinary face. If this kind of face is thrown into the crowd, it will just be a public face without any memory points.
In addition, the Lu family has always kept a low profile. Although the people know that the Lu family has been serving the Leng family, they have not seen many people from the Lu family.
Therefore, to find Lu Shui, it is undoubtedly to find a needle in a haystack.
Gu Xiaotian thought for a while and asked again: "What is the state of the person who hurt you?"
Ziyang said quickly: "The realm is very strong. At least the three of us brothers and sisters will definitely not be his opponents if we join forces."
With that said, Ziyang took out a bloody branch.
Gu Xiaotian took the branch and looked at it carefully, confirming that it was just an ordinary branch.
But for some sword cultivators, if they cover up their sword intent, any plant or tree can be turned into a sword.
Although the realm of these three young Taoist priests is relatively low, they are all members of the Taoist sect. In addition, they have certain insights in Taoism. Even if they are stronger than them, they may not be able to succeed easily.
Gu Xiaotian took a long breath, took the bloody branch, left the inn, and came to the Education Academy.
At Yuren Academy, Leng Lingfeng was waiting in the brick building early today.
He had just received news from Leng She that Lu Shui had been sent by the Fifth Master to kill three young Taoist priests.
The news about Leng She naturally came from Manager Lu. Although Manager Lu did not know that the other ghost in the Leng family was Leng Lingfeng, he must have guessed it based on his years of experience and his always shrewd mind. Almost like ten.
Leng Lingfeng was sitting here, naturally waiting for Gu Xiaotian to come over.
Sure enough, the door of the brick house was pushed open.
Gu Xiaotian walked into the house and put the bloody branch away
On the table, he said bluntly: "Who did it?"
Leng Lingfeng didn't hide anything and said Lu Shui's name.
"How is the strength?"
"Among the juniors of the Lu family, he is barely the strongest."
Gu Xiaotian kept frowning after hearing this.
After getting along with each other several times, he gradually understood that Leng Lingfeng was a very strict person.
He just used the word reluctantly.
In other words, there are people stronger than Lu Shui among the Lu family's juniors, and Lu Shui can only reluctantly become one of the strong.
If that were the case, things would be difficult to handle.
Leng Lingfeng said: "Don't worry, the Lu family is also a ghost."
A slight look of surprise flashed in Gu Xiaotian's eyes, but he was still puzzled: "If the Lu family is also a ghost, why did they touch Ziyang and the others? Could it be that they don't know that Ziyang is from my side?"
Leng Lingfeng directly shared the information: "It was Lao Wu who sent Lu Shui. Lu's ghost is just like me. He is still in the dark and has not come out to the public. Lu just wants to take advantage of this opportunity." , just get rid of Lao Wu."
Gu Xiaotian snorted disdainfully, "So you want to lend me my hand?"
Leng Lingfeng nodded and said, "Only if you get rid of Lao Wu will the elder brother not be suspicious of the Lu family."
With that said, Leng Lingfeng took out the things he had prepared long ago and put them on the table.
"Lao Wu lives a very romantic life. Not only is he the wife of his family, but he also has many concubines in the city. Lao Wu has some serious health problems and needs to take medicine every day. These medicines are available in the homes of his concubines. You can find an opportunity to bring them to the house. Medicine swap."
Gu Xiaotian felt very disdainful when he heard that he was asked to change his dressing.
Since we are going to kill people, it is often easier to kill with one sword, so why do we need to change the dressing? Isn't this unnecessary?
Leng Lingfeng explained: "Lao Wu is also a member of the Leng family after all. If it is found that he was killed by someone, someone will have to come out to be the scapegoat."
Gu Xiaotian said angrily: "I want innocent people to die for me?"
Leng Lingfeng's eyes were downcast.
He also knows how immoral it is to let innocent people take the blame.
But sometimes, as a ghost, he must abandon the kindness deep in his heart.
Leng Lingfeng sighed helplessly: "If we want to make this sky clear again, many people will die, and many people will die for us. We have no choice..."
…
…
The Fifth Master came to a luxurious courtyard in Jinguan City.
The fifth master kept many concubines in this courtyard, and Leng Ye's biological mother also lived in the courtyard.
Arriving at Leng Ye's biological mother's room, Leng Ye's biological mother looked anxious and asked quickly: "Who killed Ye'er? Have you found out?"
Fifth Master shook his head, "Elder brother has already suppressed Ye'er's death. Even if he knows the murderer, he won't do anything to him."
After hearing the news, Leng Ye's biological mother immediately began to sob softly and complained about the Fifth Master.
There was no way, after all, Leng Ye's biological mother was a woman from a brothel. With her status, she couldn't enter the Leng family. However, she also had a little bit of arrogance. Leng Ye was the only son of the Fifth Master. This made her raise her head in front of all the concubines.
The Fifth Master didn't say anything about his concubines, and allowed Leng Ye's biological mother to complain about him. After the biological mother calmed down for a while, he said with a smile: "I will definitely avenge Ye'er, and I have already Take action."
After hearing this, Leng Ye's biological mother immediately stopped crying and looked at the Fifth Master with expectation.
The fifth master hugged her, curved the corner of his mouth, and said sinisterly: "Brother won't let me deal with that person, but I can borrow a knife to kill someone."
Leng Ye's biological mother was excited for a while, but soon calmed down and asked worriedly: "What if your elder brother becomes suspicious if you do this?"
"Don't panic, even if big brother really wants to find out, I have already prepared a scapegoat."
Master Wu looked like he was sure of winning, "Big brother is always looking ahead when he is sitting in that position.
Finally, he regarded that position as more important than his life, and it was time for him to step down from that position. "
Leng Ye's biological mother smiled, as if she was already dreaming about a prosperous life in Jinguan City with Master Wu.
Then, there was inevitably some clouds and rain.
The fifth master put on his clothes, said a few words, walked out of the room, and walked to the other concubine's house.
Master Wu has his own way of dealing with women.
For these concubines, some with more stubborn personalities should be left alone for a few days, while some with weaker personalities should be cared for more.
In short, it is about getting even rain and dew.
Arriving at the room of one of the concubines, Master Wu started to cough as soon as he sat down.
The concubine said worriedly: "Fifth Master, have you forgotten to take your medicine?"
The fifth master slapped his forehead, and then he remembered that he had forgotten all these things just now during the clouds and rain. He quickly stretched out his hand and said: "Bring the medicine."
For the sake of convenience, Master Wu usually does not take the medicine with him when he goes out. Instead, he prepares a bottle in the rooms of these concubines, so that no matter where he goes, he can ensure that he can take the medicine on time.
The concubine quickly brought the medicine over. The fifth master's cough became even worse at this time, and he didn't even notice that the concubine's hand holding the medicine bottle was shaking uncontrollably.
With Leng Lingfeng's help, it was not difficult to find out where Fifth Master kept these concubines.
As for the preparation of poison, it is not difficult with Xiao Yinyin here.
Except for Leng Ye's biological mother, Gu Xiaotian searched all these concubines, either through coercion or inducement. In short, he had changed the medicines, so no matter which room the Fifth Master went to, he had to Take this poison.
After Wu Ye, whose cough worsened, took the medicine bottle, without thinking, he poured the medicine into his hand and then put it into his mouth.
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but Fifth Master slowly stopped coughing, only to find that his concubine had already walked to the door, her hands groping behind her back, as if she was ready to leave at any time.
Over the years, although the fifth master is not as vigilant as before, he is still one of the people who survived the internal fighting in the family. When he saw his concubine's behavior, he already realized that something was wrong.
Suddenly he felt a trace of cold liquid flowing out of his nose. He stretched out his hand and wiped it, and it turned bright red.
The medicine bottle also fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Seeing this, the concubine woke up and quickly opened the door and fled out.
The fifth master cursed angrily, "***, how dare you harm me!"
Immediately, Wu Ye felt a surge of energy in his body, picked up the fragments of the medicine bottle on the ground, and threw them towards his concubine.
The concubine felt a chill in her heart. When she looked down, her chest had been stabbed by fragments, and she staggered and fell to the ground.
The fifth master stood up and wanted to go to another room to get the medicine, but the poison also took effect at this time. He only felt an inexplicable cramping pain in his heart, and then the pain intensified, as if there was a ball of blue fire in his heart. Burns normally.
Then blood oozed from his eyes, nostrils, and ears, dripping on the floor, making a ticking sound.
The fifth master knelt on the ground weakly, coughing uncontrollably, and there were several pools of dirty blood in his mouth. He couldn't even shout for help.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded from outside the door.
The fifth master quickly looked up.
But when he saw the man's face, Wu Ye's pupils were startled.
A young man with a sword on his back was standing in front of him with an indifferent expression.
The young man with the sword on his back slowly stepped across the threshold, looked at the blood on the ground, and slowly let out a breath.
The fifth master could not say a word at this time, but he knew that the young man carrying the sword would not let him go. He could only let the energy in his body continue to flow, and he wanted to stand up with difficulty, but failed to stand firm. , and fell harder.
The young man carrying the sword shook his head, slowly pulled out the sword, and said indifferently: "You are going to die, why bother struggling like this."
