While Chang An was watching the battle at the gate of the city intently, an object was thrown into the air, followed by a figure.
"Give!"
Chang An's eyes turned to the thing thrown by the man, and then he raised the corners of his mouth and caught it steadily.
"The best daughter red!"
Chang An's eyes lit up, he looked at the wine jar in his hand, and then at Chu Muhe who was walking towards him.
Chu Muhe's hearty laughter echoed on the eaves of the inn. He also held a jar of wine in his left hand and sat down next to Chang An.
Chang An was not polite and sat down with him.
"Mr. Chu, why don't you fight for the secret treasure of the palace?"
Chu Muhe picked up the wine jar, raised his head to the sky and took a big gulp.
"Hahahahaha, the secret treasure of Laoshizi's palace is not as good as having a drink with Master Chang Family under the moonlight."
Chang An laughed
"That's right. To be successful in life, you must have all the fun. Don't let the golden statue face the moon in the sky."
He raised the wine jar and took a big sip.
Chu Muhe's eyes were filled with excitement. While drinking, he looked at the fighting at the gate of the city and said
"Jianghu people lick blood from their swords, and you have to cherish every opportunity to drink while you are alive. Unfortunately, not everyone cherishes it."
Chang On Road
"So, I cherish every opportunity to drink with people, and I also cherish every person who drinks with me."
Chu Muhe and Chang An looked at each other and smiled.
"When are the officers and soldiers of the state capital going to take action?"
After drinking for three rounds, Chang An, whose face turned red, suddenly asked.
The wine jar Chu Muhe picked up stopped in mid-air, then put it back again. The smile in his eyes disappeared.
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Master Chang."
Chang On Road
"It's not a difficult thing to guess. It's impossible for the state government to remain indifferent to such a big commotion."
Chu Muhe wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth
"How is the investigation going on the case of Master Chang?"
Chang An narrowed his eyes slightly
"It's hard to say. This case seems to be very involved."
Chu Muhe looked at Chang An in surprise
"Oh? It's so rare to be able to defeat the Chang family leader who can even kill the Sword God. Is the person behind this really a man with extraordinary abilities?"
Chang An shook his head
"I'm not worried about the person behind the scenes. It's just that some of the details involved in this case seem more terrifying."
Chu Muhe smiled, took another sip of wine, and said nothing.
"Gugu..."
Suddenly the cry of pigeons came from the horizon.
Chang An's ears twitched slightly, he stretched out his left hand and turned his palm into a claw
"call!"
A gust of breeze blew by Chu Muhe's ears. Chu Muhe looked at Chang An in stunned silence, and saw that the carrier pigeon fell uncontrollably into Chang An's palm!
"Dragon Catcher!"
Chu Muhe lost his voice and said, although the pigeon was less than ten feet away from their heads, Chang An's ability to pick up objects from the air was indeed the legendary dragon capturer. You know, even the one who captured the dragon three years ago In a world full of strong men, there are definitely no more than three people who can do this trick. In today's world, the only one with such ability is the Chang Family Patriarch next to him, who is the number one in the world.
Chang An smiled slightly, took off the letter paper tied to the pigeon's leg, and unfolded it to read.
His expression became more and more solemn, and then he slowly tore up the letter and stared into the distance with murderous eyes without saying a word.
Chu Muhe felt the chill emanating from Chang An and did not dare to ask him what the letter was. He just continued drinking on his own.
Regarding this matter, looking down from Chang'an and Chumuhe's field of vision, they could already see several groups of state officers and soldiers rushing towards the west gate from various places in the city.
Chu Muhe stood up, touched the long bow behind him, his eyes became sharp
"Master Chang, it's time for me to get down to business."
Chang An also looked at the officers and soldiers rushing away, nodded slightly, and took another sip of wine.
Chu Muhe's figure kept jumping between the buildings, heading towards the west city gate.
"How can we allow you to be so presumptuous in Liangzhou City!"
Several Liangzhou generals in armor led their troops to attack the west city gate. As Chumuhe came to the city wall, looking down at the Jianghu people fighting under the city tower, a large number of people suddenly appeared on the nearby buildings. The archers seemed to have made a special trip to ambush here.
Chang An's expression changed, he tightened his grip on the wine jar in his hand, and then slowly released it. His eyes were fixed on the city gate, paying attention to the development of the situation.
At the gate of the city, the fighting among the Jianghu people has entered a fever pitch. When everyone heard the arrival of the officers and soldiers from the state government, they all sneered.
"People from the government also want to get involved?"
Someone said coldly.
Chu Muhe raised his bow coldly
"This is a royal thing, please retreat quickly!"
What responded to him was a sharp arrow that came straight to his face. Chu Muhe caught a glimpse of the sharp arrow from the corner of his eye. He turned slightly sideways, and slightly loosened his right hand that was pulling the string. The arrow feathers that had already been placed on the string were steady. Steady shot.
"Snapped!"
The arrow feathers accurately blocked the sharp arrow, and they both fell.
But at this time, several Jianghu people had already jumped onto the tower.
"Whizzing!"……
On top of the building, dozens of arrows were fired, directly covering the Jianghu people, but those Jianghu people were not easy people. They had strong body skills and tried to avoid the arrows. After all, two or three people were hit by arrows and fell. After the remaining four or five people in the city tower avoided the arrow feathers, they immediately besieged Chumuhe.
At this time, under the city tower, the officers and soldiers of the state government were also fighting with the Jianghu people, and the scene became even more chaotic for a while.
Chang An looked at the city tower intently and saw that Chu Muhe was besieged by several people. The archers in the distance shot out the first round of arrows, and those who had not yet shot the second round. Once an archer like Chu Muhe was approached, The body is surrounded by dangers.
Chu Muhe's eyes were cold. At this time, five arrow feathers were already attached to the string of his bow. With no way to retreat, he tapped the ground with his toes, and with a sound of "soar", his body leaped high into the air. The body is in the shape of an arch bridge, and five arrow feathers are pointed coldly at the Jianghu people in the air.
A moment later, five streaks of blood splashed on the city tower, Chu Muhe landed steadily, and all the Jianghu people who besieged him were killed, but before he could catch his breath, eight more people jumped to the city wall, looking at Chu Muhe fearfully. Wood River.
"This guy is the leader of the archers, kill him first no matter what!"
Under the tower, someone shouted to the eight people.
When the eight people heard the words, their faces showed cruel expressions. In the distance, several sharp arrows with a killing intent hit the direction of Chumu River, followed by eight silver rays.
The archers in the distance gave up their targets under the city tower and wanted to cover Chu Muhe, but they were still far away, and the eight figures and several sharp arrows were already in front of Chu Muhe.
Chu Muhe's expression remained unchanged, but he saw that he put away the long bow with his right hand, put his left hand into his arms, and then turned around beautifully. As his body turned, several thin silver rays seemed to come from his body. Send out and shoot around.
The eight people were still in the air, but they all fell to the ground, no longer alive, and the several sharp arrows seemed to have encountered some collision, and fell one after another.
Chang An stood up and looked in the direction of Chu Muhe in surprise. Because the distance was too far, he couldn't see what was happening at all, but he clearly knew that in the midst of the lightning and flint, Chu Muhe had indeed used Unknown means.
This fight has lasted for nearly three hours. The originally dark night sky even glowed slightly, and this chaos finally came to an end.
Zhuo Fengting's face was covered in blood, and he was cut in several places on his body, revealing horrific blood marks. In some places, the flesh on the inside of the wounds even rolled out, but he still smiled because he was the final winner. Not far away, Zhang Daoyun and Ye Siqing were lying on the ground, looking up at the sky silently. They didn't even have the strength to turn over at this moment, and could only watch Zhuo Fengting pick up the box.
The moment the box was held in Zhuo Fengting's hand, all the Jianghu and state government officers and soldiers stopped and looked at him. Some people wanted to snatch it, but Zhuo Fengting was quickly protected by the people from Qingmutang. In the center, the master of Qingmu Hall looked at everyone fiercely.
"Who dares to step forward!"
As he said that, he looked at Zhuo Fengting again
"Fengting, look at what's inside."
Zhuo Fengting nodded slightly and slowly opened the box. At this moment, everyone held their breath and looked straight at the box in Zhuo Fengting's hand being opened. Even Ye Siqing and Zhang Daoyun looked at it in shock. There.
Just when Zhuo Fengting was looking at the box expectantly, the scene in front of him made his expression change drastically.
"empty!"
Zhuo Fengting roared angrily. His expression kept changing. Disappointment, surprise, and anger filled his mind. Veins popped out on his face, and he dropped the box heavily to the ground.
When everyone saw this, they were shocked at first, and then instantly turned into rage.
They had been lying in wait in the wilderness for several days, suffered so much, and died so many people, just for an empty box?
The officers and soldiers of the state government were also excited, and Chu Muhe, who was leading the operation tonight, also looked at the box coldly and remained silent.
Some of the Jianghu people looked around, looked hesitant, and slowly withdrew from the crowd. Then, more people left the city gate. Not long after, the Jianghu people at the city gate began to evacuate sparsely.
And the state officers and soldiers also watched all this with cold eyes.
After a long time, Chu Muhe gave an order
"Leave a team of people to clean up the scene, while the rest retreat!"
Thousands of state officers and soldiers, under the command of their respective generals, returned in an orderly manner along the original route.
After everyone dispersed, there were only dozens of officers and soldiers left at the city gate to deal with the corpses, but Chang An arrived quietly.
His figure passed over the heads of the officers and soldiers, and without them noticing, he floated lightly to the top of the city tower.
Eight corpses were lying quietly on the tower. Chang An came closer to check. He opened one of the corpses and looked up. A very small steel needle was pierced between the man's eyebrows. Although his eyes were distracted. , but the corners of his mouth were slightly lowered, and his expression still contained a fierce murderous intent. He didn't even react with surprise, and was killed directly.
Chang An opened the other corpses and found such wounds on their bodies. This reminded him of Fu Rushui. When he inspected Fu Rushui's body that day, he also found similar wounds.
It seemed that Fu Rushui did not die at the hands of Qu Fengzhi. Chang An looked at the direction Chu Muhe was leaving with a solemn expression.
Qu Fengzhi should have discovered the wound on Fu Rushui's neck at that time, so when Zhao slowly entered the inn, he acted so crazy. From his point of view, the City Lord's Mansion was already standing at that moment. his opposite.
With his eyebrows stretched, Chang An stood on the tower and quietly looked down at Liangzhou City. Everything became gradually clearer.
Under the city tower, more than a dozen officers and soldiers were carefully cleaning the battlefield, but at the same time
"Boom!", "Boom!", "Boom!"...
Each of them was hit in the back of the head by a small stone and fell straight to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Chang An's figure landed gently beside them, holding a small stone in his hand. He glanced at the officers and soldiers on the ground, and then slowly walked out of the city gate.
At the city gate, the thick rope hanging the box had broken and was swaying messily in the wind.
Chang An carefully observed the break of the thick rope. Although the box had been taken away by Chu Muhe, what Chang An wanted to know more was how the box broke.
The broken part of the thick rope spread out like a hair, and there were a few scattered threads twisted together, and they were of different lengths, as if they had been broken by sharp objects that had penetrated.
The corners of his mouth turned down slightly, but after all, the result he least wanted to see happened.
After remaining silent for a long time, he stood up from the moon and ran on the green tiles with light steps, constantly changing his position.
Not long after he left, the officers and soldiers who had fallen to the ground slowly woke up, touching the back of their heads with painful expressions, looking at each other, and then around, but found nothing.
What happened to me just now?
This is the common doubt in their hearts at this time.
After touching a stick of incense, Chang An stopped and fell to the ground.
In the south of the city, there is an empty Yizhuang in front of the door. It seems that no one has come since they left Yizhuang yesterday.
"Squeak"
He gently opened the door and walked into the courtyard again. Looking at the dead leaves on the ground and the coffins scattered in the courtyard, he walked forward slowly.
During the day, he discovered that someone had set up an evil formation in the courtyard, but what caught his attention even more were the coffins in the courtyard.
Of course, the coffin itself is not important, what is in the coffin is important.
"bump!"
He pushed forward with the wind of his palm, raising a large number of dead leaves in the calm courtyard. Then, the coffin in front of him shook violently, and the coffin lid continued to roll in mid-air, and finally fell to the ground next to it.
Chang An's eyes were slightly stern, and he looked inside the coffin, but there was nothing.
His expression remained unchanged, which was not unexpected, but he noticed that there were some residual blood stains in the coffin, which at least proved that there was something in the coffin.
His palm force continued to push out, and the lids of the remaining ten coffins separated from the coffin body one after another.
His eyes scanned over a dozen coffins. As he expected, there were several empty coffins, but there were also several coffins that contained dried corpses.
But the coffin in the farthest corner firmly caught his eye, because there was a head inside!
But this didn't surprise him either. What surprised him most was that he knew that head.
It was exactly the accountant Mr. Zhou who was driven away by his mother for hiding private money two months ago!
