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

Shen Baizhong looked back, and there was indeed a big fire behind him.

The moment he turned around, everyone in the villa was alarmed, the porter, maids, and servants all woke up from their sleep, panicked, and ran around looking for water.

"Where is this on fire?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"Looks like a house in the woods."

"Is there still a house in the woods?"

"Don't forget, Xue Xiaoren ran into the woods today."

"Indeed..."

Lu Xiaofeng was patronizing Xiaodie at that time, how could he notice what Xue Xiaoren was doing.

"This fire is really strange, do you want to go and see it?"

"Of course I'm going!"

They walked as they said, passing through the courtyard and bamboo forest in the night, crossing the small bridge, running in the mist, and in a blink of an eye they reached the dense forest.

The forest was full of smoke.

Xue Yiren shouted in front of the house, "Water! Find water!"

This well-known swordsman is nothing but an old man whose beard has been burned off. He is sweating from anxiety, his clothes are covered with a lot of black dust, and a pair of cloth shoes on his feet have been worn wrong. , I wore the right shoe on my left foot, and the left shoe on my right foot, and I was not as steady as before.

"My lord, there's no more water in the tank!"

"Pick it from the stream on the mountain!" Xue Yiren roared, "Do you want me to order this matter?"

Xue Yiren yelled and waved his arms, but he didn't have the slightest demeanor of a famous martial artist. No matter how good his martial arts are, there is nothing he can do in the face of natural disasters. Although his younger brother was inside, he cited The proud swordsmanship is useless, and he can only wait for the water to come.

But where is the water?

The water has run out.

When the stream from the back mountain is fetched, I'm afraid it will be too late.

Of course Xue Yiren understood this truth, but he didn't want to understand it.

Lu Xiaofeng covered his mouth and nose, and shouted, "Is Second Master Xue in?"

Xue Yiren asked anxiously, "Why is he not here? Although he likes to run around during the day, he must come back to sleep at night!"

Xue Xiaoren always felt that he was still a baby, how could the baby not sleep well?

At least he had to make others think so.

Shen Baizhong squinted his eyes, staring at the fire on the roof of the small building.

"If Second Master Xue is inside, there will always be some movement, don't worry." Lu Xiaofeng persuaded.

Xue Yi said humanely, "How can I not be in a hurry? He, he has a problem with his mind! He probably thinks that others are playing with him in this fire!"

This seemed to be possible, Lu Xiaofeng stopped talking.

Shen Baizhong said suddenly, "I'll go in and have a look."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't say a word, Shen Baichu had already moved, picked up the last bucket of water, poured it on himself, tipped his toes, and rushed into the fire.

The burning small building was somewhat dilapidated, many beams had been burned, and they fell down crackling, with flames when they fell, falling to the ground and splashing a large amount of sparks, which continued to ignite the surrounding area.

Shen Baimo's eyes were filled with crimson and black gray, and he finally stood in an empty space, but he didn't know how to go.

crackle.

An extremely heavy main beam suddenly fell down, Shen Baizhong turned his head and saw it smashing into a figure.

Xue Xiaoren?

The cold knife was unsheathed.

With a swing of the knife, the beam was broken into two sections, Shen Baizhong stepped on one of the sections, and looked down, only to find that the figure was already a dead person.

Charred dead.

Shen Baizhong frowned, bent down to confirm, but suddenly several pieces of wood fell down, turning over to hide, he had already missed the opportunity.

This time there was no corpse at all, Shen Bai finally only saw a piece of colorful clothes vaguely, and then he lost his sight.

Outside the small building, there are more and more people.

Chu Liuxiang put on a robe, coughed a few times, and said, "What's going on? How long has Shen Baizhong been in?"

Lu Xiaofeng said, "About half an hour later."

Yan Shisan also came at some point, turned left and right, wishing he could run into the fire.

Although Lu Xiaofeng was very confident in Shen Baizhong, he also wanted to go in.

He had already counted in his heart, and when he was determined to count to nine hundred, before Shen Baimo came out, he went in to look for him.

Fortunately, when he counted to three hundred, Shen Baizhong came out.

Although the edges of his clothes were burnt a little, and his body smelled of smoke and fire, other than that, he didn't feel like walking around in the fire at all.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine." Shen Baizhong shook his head, "I haven't seen Xue Xiaoren."

"What did you find?"

"All I saw was a blackened corpse. A corpse in flower-green clothes."

Xue Yiren's legs and feet went limp, his face was pale, his body seemed to be stiff, his expression collapsed, and he was speechless for a long time.

When he was able to speak, his expression became even more desolate, and he asked, "Green clothes? Mr. Shen, you, have you seen clearly?"

Shen Baizhong was not used to telling others bad news, so he could only say, "The fire is too big, I just saw it."

Xue Yiren completely collapsed on the ground, silent for a long time, let out a long sigh, and choked up, "Forget it, forget it, if he is still awake, he must not be willing to live like this."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but squatted down, supported Xue Yiren's shoulders, and said slowly, "You should go to sleep, even though Shen Baizhong saw a corpse, it might not be Lingdi's, right? "

"If it's not his, who else could it be?" Xue Yiren had tears in his eyes, "Who would wear his clothes and run into this small building and let the fire burn him to death?"

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Maybe it was a corpse, but it was put on Xue Xiaoren's clothes. Maybe someone else set the fire on fire, and Xue Xiaoren wanted to have fun, so he caught this man and put him in his own clothes to play house. play at home."

Xue Yi said humanely, "What is there to worry about in Xue's Village? Why would someone set fire..."

Halfway through saying this, his expression changed again, from pale to livid, as if he had been stabbed.

"My sword! Is it my sword?"

Picking up the sword, Xue Yiren regained his strength, turned around, got out from Lu Xiaofeng's hand, and rushed into the back mountain.

Yan Shisan looked at his back and couldn't help asking, "What happened to his sword? Shouldn't he be carrying it with him? He has many swords?"

Chu Liuxiang suddenly felt awkward, something was wrong, and smiled wryly, "A swordsman like Xue Yiren likes to collect famous swords most. These swords are all hard to find, and taking out any one is enough to stir up a bloody storm..."

Its daybreak.

Dawn always seems to happen in a flash, and no one can tell when the sun will rise.

The flames here are so bright that half of the sky has already been dyed red, and thick smoke is rolling down, and no one can notice the sun.

The moment the sun rose, Xue Yiren rushed out of a cave, his face was full of anger, and he stared straight at Chu Liuxiang.

Everyone stared at Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang forced a smile and said, "Could it be that all the swords are gone?"

Xue Yiren was furious, looked at Shen Baizhong again, and said loudly, "That's right! All the swords in the sword room have been lost!"

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "Senior Xue, you don't have to look at Shen Baizhong, if I really stole the sword, he will definitely not cover me up. I will never take this blame."

——Xue Yiren attaches so much importance to his sword, he must take care of it on weekdays. Tonight, he lost something because of the fire. Didn't the person who stole the sword have a chance because he set it on fire?

On this black cauldron, there is not only a sword, but also a human life and a fire.

Xue Yiren said coldly, "You just came here today, and this kind of thing happened to me..."

Chu Liuxiang said, "I have also been to many people's homes, did they all lose their things?"

Xue Yiren snorted coldly and said, "You and Zuo Qinghou are friends, that's why you came to steal my sword, so that he can win!"

This guess makes sense.

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Chu Liuxiang never kills, who started this fire?"

Xue Yi said humanely, "This...

This is just a rumor in the world, who really knows whether he will kill or not? "

Shen Baizhong moved suddenly, once he moved, no one could stop looking at him.

"We will definitely find out who took your sword and who set it on fire. If Xue Xiaoren is not dead, we will definitely be able to find him."

Xue Yiren's mouth moved, but no words came out.

Suddenly something hit him.

Xue Yiren stretched out his hand to fish it out, and took this thing in his hand.

"Xiuchun Knife?"

"Ah."

"Why did you give me your own knife?"

"If we don't succeed, take this knife and melt it into a sword."

Xue Yiren turned around and left, he had nothing more to say.

As expected of the former No. [-] sword in the world, his heart has calmed down, just like the ashes left in the fire, although there are sparks, they no longer burn.

But what about the murderer, what about the sword?

where is it?

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

early morning.

Someone in Xuejiazhuang is already cleaning, sweeping away the dust brought by the fire, and cleaning the rooms where the guests retreated.

"Do we count as being driven away?" Lu Xiaofeng asked with a smile.

Chu Liuxiang also laughed, he didn't seem to take it seriously that he was misunderstood, and said with a smile, "We were invited out at best."

Yan Shisan looked at the two of them, wondering why they could still laugh.

He simply didn't look at them, and turned to look at Shen Baizhong.

Shen Bai finally felt that someone was with him, and he also lowered his head to look at Yan Shisan.

"Why are they still laughing?"

"Because they're not in a hurry."

"But I think the situation is already very dangerous."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled, patted Yan Shisan on the head, and said, "Do you think Chu Liuxiang stole the sword?"

Yan Shisan shook his head and said, "I have already seen that he is not interested in swords, nor will he steal for Zuo Qinghou."

"Then who stole the sword?"

Yan Shisan pondered, "Is he the leader of the Assassin Organization?"

"Who set the fire?"

"It's him too?"

"So is he already in a hurry?" Lu Xiaofeng asked patiently, "Do you think he did this just to make Xue Yiren take action against Chu Liuxiang?"

"seems like it."

Yan Shisan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he found that this kind of argument was very reasonable, and it seemed that this was the only possibility.

Shen Baizhong raised his hand to take Lu Xiaofeng's hand away from Yan Shisan's head, and said flatly, "People who lie to children are not good people."

Lu Xiaofeng proudly said, "I'm nothing at all."

Yan Shisan frowned, "He lied to me?"

"Ah."

"What did he lie to me about?"

"It's not good for Xue Yiren to fight against Chu Liuxiang." Shen Bai finally untied the rein tied to the tree, and the black sleeves dangled in front of Yan Shisan's eyes, almost blocking all his sight.

He suddenly remembered his father's black clothes.

This idea was very strange, so Yan Shisan immediately forgot about it.

"With Lu Xiaofeng and I blocking it, nothing will happen between Xue Yiren and Chu Liuxiang." Shen Baizhong continued, "It's just a thankless effort."

"So someone wants us to think..."

"That's right." Lu Xiaofeng nodded.

"Then this person must be Xue Xiaoren!" Yan Shisan said, "He must not be dead yet, and he is the only one who can easily steal Xue Yiren's sword."

"You're right."

Yan Shisan continued, "But, but Xue Yiren will definitely not believe it, he is a good brother."

This time even Shen Baizhong smiled.

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "You still need to spend more time in the Jianghu. Things in the Jianghu are always scary and bizarre. As long as there is something wrong, you have to think about it immediately."

Yan Shisan didn't understand.

Shen Bai finally said, "Lu Xiaofeng and I were able to rush over quickly because we were already in the courtyard. It took a lot of time to rush over with Chu Liuxiang's lightness kung fu, why is Xue Yiren here so early?"

Chu Liuxiang continued, "Xue Yiren is there because he already knew there would be a fire."
