[Comprehensive martial arts] On the conduct of Jinyiwei's commanders

"You don't trust the wooden Taoist."

"Correct."

"You think he played a part in this?"

"I don't know." Lu Xiaofeng lay flat on the bed, stared at the ceiling, and said softly while watching, "It's so ingenious how he appeared, not to mention his martial arts is very high, and his status is not low. He was invited to participate That's actually pretty normal."

"Ah."

A wine glass full of wine was placed on Lu Xiaofeng's chest, the transparent wine glistened, it looked like good wine, every time he said a word to Shen Baizhong, he would take a sip of the wine, pour it again after drinking, and soon Drank several jars.

"I'm really scared." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "Huo Xiu is my friend, Jin Jiuling is my friend, and Huo Tianqing is also my friend."

Shen Bai finally said for him, "Taoist Mu is also your friend."

"Yes."

"You're drunk." Shen Bai finally said, "You would never say these things normally."

Lu Xiaofeng closed his eyes, as if he was really drunk.

"You have too many friends." Shen Baizhong said, "You can always make friends with everyone, but everyone has a side that others don't know."

"Your friends are very prestigious in all walks of life, and their martial arts and status are always very good. Even ordinary people definitely have something to shine." Shen Baizhong continued, "Select from those who are capable It is naturally easy for those who have the ability to do bad things."

The black panther was lying at Shen Baizhong's feet, it seemed to be very comfortable to be touched, and it was already purring.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said, "You are right."

"People are always helpless in this world." Shen Baizhong said slowly, "No matter who it is, there will be things they can't do. No matter who they are, they may go the wrong way. And these people go the wrong way , no one wants to see it, and it is very difficult for anyone to stop it."

"You will too?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled.

"What will I do?"

"Are you going the wrong way too?"

Shen Baizhong smiled and said, "You think I can't."

"If even you go the wrong way, I'll jump into the river right away." Lu Xiaofeng said lightly, "Just jump into the river outside."

Lu Xiaofeng will never be able to jump that river, if he doesn't jump, others will.

A small boat came on the river, rowing faster and faster, the water splashed in a straight line behind it, but the person on the boat still felt that it was not fast enough, looked left and right, jumped off the boat, swam to the river bank and went ashore, all the way Rampage, entered the inn, ran to the second floor after a while, and knocked on the door.

"Hero Lu! Hero Lu! Are you there, Hero Lu?"

"I'm here!" Lu Xiaofeng shouted, "Please come in."

As soon as these words were uttered, a drenched man rushed in from outside the door, and said anxiously, "Which of you is Daxia Lu?"

Shen Bai finally pointed to Lu Xiaofeng who was lying on the bed.

As soon as the big man turned his head, he bowed to Lu Xiaofeng and said, "I'm a brother under Snake King's subordinates, I'm here to ask for your help, old man!"

Lu Xiaofeng sat up suddenly, and said, "Did the Snake King call you to call me?"

The big man wiped his face, and couldn't tell whether it was sweat or water on his head, sobbing, "The Snake King has been missing for three days! It's the brothers who came to find you!"

Lu Xiaofeng was even more anxious, and said, "Why didn't you come to me earlier?"

"Boss said that you are doing something important, and no one is allowed to disturb you." The big man said, "Anyone who disturbs you will have to chop off a finger of himself, and he will never be able to enter Wuyang City!"

"How did he disappear? How did you know he was missing? Where did you last see him?"

The big man said honestly, "The brothers were drinking, but they didn't see the boss coming out at night, so they sent a man upstairs to investigate, only to see blood on the ground, and nothing else."

Lu Xiaofeng felt cold all over his body, took a few steps back, and fell on the chair, even his fingers became stiff.

Shen Baizhong frowned and said, "What kind of blood is it? Is it splashed or is it a pool?"

The big man said respectfully, "There are several puddles of blood on the ground."

"How many beaches? How many are there?"

The big man was stunned, and after thinking hard for a long time, he said, "Si, no, Wutan!"

Lu Xiaofeng tightly held the wine pot on the table, looked at Shen Baizhong, and said, "Do you think, does he..."

"There is not much hope." Shen Baizhong said, "His injury must be serious. After three days, no one can tell where he is."

"There are five puddles of blood on the ground." Lu Xiaofeng still had hope, "He must have been wrestling with that person for a long time."

"Let's go and see him now!" Shen Baizhong said coldly, "If we can't find him, we'll go to Nanwang Mansion to ask for him."

"it is good."

-------------

The small building of the Snake King is really messy.

The precious paintings and calligraphy that had been hung on the wall had become fragments and were scattered everywhere. The fruit plate flew to the door, the white jade cup rolled all over the floor, and the recliner in the middle of the room was even more bloodstained.

All the things in this room are priceless, but now they are all in tatters, even if they are given away for free, no one will take them.

Shen Baizhong touched the marks on the chair and said, "It seems to be a knife."

"Is that the big sword?" Lu Xiaofeng said, "It's the big sword that the Dongying woman is holding?"

"It should be shorter."

Lu Xiaofeng walked to the table and looked, then went to the bed to look, and saw several footprints.

"The shoe prints seem to be wooden clogs." Lu Xiaofeng said, "There are very few people in the Jianghu who wear this kind of shoes."

Snake King would not wear such clogs, he was not in good health, and would never dress so casually.

Snake King's bed is very clean, the pillows and quilt are folded on one side, such a clean bed makes the footprints on it more conspicuous, so that people can see it at a glance.

"Is this a trap?" Lu Xiaofeng said, "This kind of clue is really obvious, it almost wants to put the word "murderer" on Ishida Saihikozaemon's head."

"Who will come to chase and kill the Snake King?" Shen Baizhong asked, "He must have many enemies, and maybe a few people will find ways to blame the new Dongying people in the city."

"There are not many people who can hurt him." Lu Xiaofeng said, "There are not many people who can hide it from his brothers, and even less people who don't make a sound!"

"That's right." Shen Bai finally said, "So the biggest suspect is Ishida Saihiko Zaemon."

This is really a very clever way, no one knows whether the shoe print is real or not, it seems that it is not that important, as long as you see this shoe print and understand how conspicuous it is, you have already hidden it in your heart Seeds of doubt, no longer able to concentrate.

Will there be enemies hiding in the dark?

Is the Snake King still alive?

Does he want money or life?

no one knows.

If anyone knows, this person must be a child of the beggar gang.So Lu Xiaofeng immediately set off to the biggest ruined temple outside the city.

Shen Baizhong also immediately left for Nanwangfu.

We all know what kind of people they are, what kind of character they are, and they will never give up their friends as long as there is a glimmer of hope.

Even if the Snake King is dead, they must find the body, avenge him, and then have a grand burial.

The mountain wind shakes the clothes, the rocks are densely covered, and there are many flowers and plants growing in the woods. The children of the Beggar Clan like to hold meetings in this kind of place.

Because it is not only hidden, but the scenery will never be bad.

Lu Xiaofeng already has a lot of experience in finding people, so he quickly found the biggest ruined temple outside Wuyang City.Beggars living in ruined temples are as honest and reliable as buskers living under bridges. This has almost become a rule, not their preference.

The temple is really dilapidated, and there are air leaks everywhere, but it is summer now, and these have become advantages. Beggars, big and small, are having a meeting inside, and there is a broken pot in the middle of the dilapidated temple, simmering broth.

As soon as Lu Xiaofeng stepped into the ruined temple, there were at least twenty or thirty pairs of eyes fixed on him.

Xiao Mazi said happily, "Hero Lu! What are you doing here, old man?"

Xiao Mazi said again, "What are you all looking at? This is Lu Xiaofeng Lu Daxia! He is the best friend of our beggar gang!"

Lu Xiaofeng?

When the rest of the beggars heard this, they immediately gave way to Lu Xiaofeng, and surrounded him respectfully, the vigilance in their eyes turned into admiration.

"Grandpa Lu?" The little fat man gnawed on a chicken leg and asked, "What are you doing here? Are you here to eat meat?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "I want to ask you one thing."

Xiao Mazi immediately said, "Please tell me."

"Do you know the Snake King?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Have you seen him these days?"

Xiao Mazi was stunned, of course he knew about the Snake King, and the Snake King had more than 3000 men under his command, wandering around the alleys and corners of Wuyang City, all the shops and restaurants, big and small, had the Snake King's men and horses, and their power was already stronger than the ones here. The gang of beggars is much bigger, and if they want to do business in Wuyang City, offending the Snake King is a dead end.

But Snake King also has a problem, he never leaves his small building easily, how could anyone see him?

If the gang of beggars is better informed than the Snake King, it's just because the beggars have nothing to do. They find a corner to lean on and keep their eyes open all day long. Don't they just see what they want to see?

Seeing that no one spoke, Lu Xiaofeng's heart was half cold, he sighed and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the little fat man suddenly said, "Grandpa Lu! My third aunt saw a man covered in blood fleeing into the yamen, but I don't know if that man is the Snake King."

"yamen?"

"Yes." The little fat man said, "Three nights ago, my third aunt went out to beat her husband, and happened to see such a person."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to know why the little fat man's third aunt wanted to beat her husband, and she still went out to beat her, but asked, "Is he covered in blood?"

"Yes."

Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly said, "Thank you!"

As soon as the word "thank you" was uttered, he had already left the ruined temple. When you left the word, Lu Xiaofeng was already galloping on the road on his horse.

When Lu Xiaofeng got on his horse and was going back from the ruined temple, Shen Bai was finally getting off his horse. He could no longer ride a horse when he arrived here. Nanwang had already set up ropes on all the roads in front of him. If he wanted to get to Nanwang's mansion, he could only walk. obvious.

As soon as he and Lu Xiaofeng left the inn, they noticed that there were spies everywhere, no matter where they went, there were at least five or six people staring at them, it seemed that once the Snake King disappeared, Nan Wang had completely controlled Wuyang City.

Shen Baizhong held the handle of the Xiuchun knife at his waist, and when he was walking down the long street, he stopped suddenly at the entrance of a tavern.

Zhang Pingye and Sikong Zhaixing had gone to inquire about the situation in Wuyang City respectively. The emperor sat alone at the table, staring at the jug above it in a daze.

Although his martial arts is not very high, but it is definitely not bad, because of his experience as a teenager, he is more sensitive to other people's aura, at least people with the same martial arts as him will never be so sensitive.

By now he was aware that at least forty people were in ambush in this tavern.

But it seems that he only has the four brothers of the Yu family in his hands.

But the emperor was still not in a hurry. If he wasn't in a hurry, others were in a hurry, and they became more and more anxious, but even though he was so anxious that his head got angry, he still didn't dare to move at all.

Who can tell the truth from the truth?Does the jug in front of the emperor have any mechanism?Is it poison or a hidden weapon?

Has he brought a hundred and eighty masters?

Are the martial arts of these masters already very high?So high that they didn't even notice it?

This jug of wine is a bit too weak.

The emperor sighed.

Although this kind of wine was not bad, he would not drink it even if he was beaten to death. He still had to drink strong alcohol. Although he couldn't find this kind of wine in the palace, he would certainly be able to do it outside.

A hand suddenly reached out and poured a glass of wine for the emperor.

And this person sat opposite him.

Xiuchun knife was stained with blood, and there was no enemy in the tavern.

The emperor smiled, raised his glass and drank it down, saying, "Good wine."
