"Xiaohu, congratulations." Shen Yuan looked at Lu Xiaohu with a strange expression.

The process is very old-fashioned, but it is very enviable.

On his way home, Lu Xiaohu met someone who was teasing Miss Yu, so he stepped forward to help. He was a hero who saved the beauty, and finally agreed to marry him.

Although the Yu family was not wealthy, they still had some wealth, so they brought Lu Xiaohu and his family to the inner city.

This treatment is almost the same as that of the protagonist in a story novel.

"Senior Brother Zhang, please stop peeking at the female disciples, maybe you can meet her." Shen Yuan glanced at the lost Zhang Yunfeng and said with a smile.

"Junior Brother Shen, don't slander senior brother's innocence out of thin air. When did I peek at the female disciple?" Zhang Yunfeng glared and said bitterly.

"Come on, let's go to the restaurant and treat it as junior brother's apology." Shen Yuan said with a smile.

"That's what you said." Zhang Yunfeng was a little surprised in his eyes.

"Let's go, Xiaohu." Shen Yuan looked at Lu Xiaohu who looked troubled.

"Isn't Miss Yu's wife a strict wife?" Zhang Yunfeng rolled his eyes and asked.

"No matter what, just go." Lu Xiaohu's face flashed with shame and anger, and he walked up to the two of them.

Shen Yuan and Zhang Yunfeng looked at each other and smiled.

Barren Stone Castle, Li Family Courtyard.

'Bang! ’

The exquisite tea table fell apart and scattered all over the floor.

"Who is targeting our Li family?" Li Jingheng, the second elder of the Li family, looked furious and exuded an astonishing aura.

Two days have passed since Shen Yuan and the others encountered a strange ghost and Li Chengxi died.

According to normal circumstances, Li Chengxi and the others should have arrived yesterday at the latest, but it has been so long since they have arrived. It is obvious that there was something wrong on the road.

There is a person in the Bone Forging Realm, and ordinary beasts cannot threaten them at all. The only possibility is to be attacked.

Li Zhihong glanced at the other party, his face equally gloomy.

Li Zhiyong was trembling, his face dripping with cold sweat; "Second Elder, Elder Li Jinggao and the others did not reveal their whereabouts to the family when they set off."

"There are only a dozen routes from Qinghu City to Wild Stone Castle. Don't you know how to check them one by one?" Li Jingheng roared.

"People have been arranged to check." Li Zhiyong bowed without showing any emotion on his face.

"Second elder, Li Chengfeng was killed while trying to obtain the Boiling Blood Flower. Li Chengxi came to search for the murderer, but an accident also happened. Why was the murderer able to accurately weaken the strength of my Li family at critical moments twice?" Li Zhihong spoke slowly, with a sinister look on his face. , eyes flashing with a biting edge.

"Li Zhihong, do you mean that there is a traitor in the family?" Li Jingheng looked over with a gloomy look.

"Yes, the two operations happened temporarily. The other forces couldn't react at all. Especially Li Chengxi and the others, they were hit by an accident just after they left Qinghu City. This was obviously someone who leaked the information." Li Zhihong said every word. road.

"We cannot jump to conclusions on this matter. The Li family is now at a critical moment. Once the matter of identifying the traitor is revealed, everyone will be in danger, and the head of the family will not agree." Li Jingheng frowned and continued;

"Even if we want to investigate, we have to investigate in secret. This matter must not be brought to light. And the top priority now is to find out the whereabouts of Cheng Xi and the others."

"We must investigate everything that happened in the past two days, do you understand?"

"Yes." Li Zhiyong nodded.

Li Zhihong's face darkened, and he cursed secretly in his heart.

This was obviously a murder. The murderer had cleared away the evidence long ago, yet Li Jingheng actually wasted family resources on such useless work.

······

Qinghu City.

When the three of them came out of the restaurant, the sky outside had darkened. However, there was no curfew in the inner city, especially since the street they were on was in a bustling area, and people were coming and going. Things outside the city were not kept secret. It had a great influence on the wealthy people of the city.

"Ah, it's already so late." Lu Xiaohu's face was red and he smelled of alcohol.

"Hey, go back quickly, otherwise your wife Yu will be worried." Zhang Yunfeng raised his eyebrows and grinned.

"Senior Brother Zhang, please stop scaring Xiaohu." Shen Yuan said with a smile.

"Then I'll go back first." Lu Xiaohu patted his head and said hurriedly.

"Um."

Just as Lu Xiaohu was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, I'll take a bath tomorrow. Come and sit down when you have time."

"Remember to prepare wine and food, otherwise senior brother I won't be able to come." Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said with a smile.

"Definitely." After Lu Xiaohu finished speaking, he turned and left, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

"Senior brother, aren't you leaving?" Shen Yuan glanced at Zhang Yunfeng and asked.

"Ahem, don't worry, junior brother, look it's still so early, are we..." Zhang Yunfeng hesitated.

"Senior brother, haven't you finished drinking yet? How about I drink with you for a while?"

"I've had so much fun, I'll faint if I drink any more." Zhang Yunfeng waved his hands quickly. The three of them were all warriors and their drinking capacity was far better than ordinary people. However, Lu Xiaohu's face was still red from drinking. You can imagine how much wine they drank.

"Then what else does Senior Brother have to do?" Shen Yuan said with a smile.

"Hey, senior brother, I want to borrow some money from you." Zhang Yunfeng sighed with a bit of worry on his face.

"If junior brother doesn't, then I'll take it as a presumptuous thing."

"Senior brother, are you short of money too?" Shen Yuan frowned.

Zhang Yunfeng is also in the upper echelon of the Hongshi Martial Arts School. He may not be rich, but he is not short of money, let alone borrowing money from a "poor" person like him.

"It's still those damned gangs." Zhang Yunfeng gritted his teeth and said.

"Isn't there going to be a martial arts competition soon? I was going to make a handy weapon. Originally, I had enough funds, but something unexpected happened.

The family has some businesses in the outer city, and this part of the business just happened to have my dividends. As a result, the gangs in the outer city fought every day, and now my dividends are gone, resulting in a lack of funds."

Martial arts competition?

Shen Yuan's heart moved. All martial arts halls hold a ceremony every two years, under the euphemism of mutual confirmation of their own martial arts.

But this is only one of the reasons. Another reason is to redistribute benefits.

There are so many martial arts halls in Qinghu City that it is impossible to make a living by collecting those insignificant registration fees.

The rest of the business is also controlled by the martial arts halls.

But this part of the benefits must be distributed properly. The actions of the older generation will greatly affect the alliance relationship between martial arts halls, so there is such a martial arts competition.

Proper distribution of benefits will not affect the relationship, and at the same time it can confirm the level of a martial arts hall.

"Brother Zhang, how much do you want to borrow?"

"Seventy taels." Zhang Yunfeng gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay." Shen Yuan nodded. He casually took out a silver note and a few ingots of silver from his arms and handed them over.

"Hmm?" Looking at the silver note in front of him, Zhang Yunfeng was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to take it out so easily.

"Thank you, brother. I will return it as soon as possible." He took the silver and said solemnly.

"Brother, then I will go back first." Shen Yuan waved his hand and left with the crowd.

"Brother Shen, what have you been through during this period?" Looking at Shen Yuan's back, Zhang Yunfeng's eyes flashed.

······

The next day, at the end of Chenshi.

"Brother Yuan, what do you think of this courtyard? I found it according to your requirements. It is remote, quiet and large." Cen Junzhi walked in front, followed by a middle-aged man.
