The knife stopped by the neck, not a short distance from the throat, the white blade was buried in the shadow, as if it had been stained with blood.

In the silence, Yan Wuhua's breathing was clearly audible.

His throat quivered, and his face was as white as a sheet of paper.At that moment just now, even if he moved a step forward and made the slightest resistance, the sword would penetrate his neck.But he didn't, he just froze helplessly, waiting to die, so he was still alive.

Manager Jia was the first to recover, and raised his voice: "What are you going to do to the young master!" His voice was tense like a string that was about to break.A row of disciples standing behind also raised their knives and pointed at Shangguanqing.

In the midst of the sword being tense, Zhao Shitu put his hand on Shangguanqing's forearm, looked straight at him, and said solemnly: "Shangguan, stop!"

Shangguan Qing's knife was slowly pulled back, and finally fell down.

Yan Wuhua's lips were still trembling, and he said in a trembling voice: "Brother Shangguan, you should know that I don't know the slightest bit of martial arts, and I don't have the means to kill people, let alone kill my biological father."

Shangguanqing raised her eyes to stare at him, and her eyes met each other. After a while, she finally gave up and looked away: "It's really not you. If you really hid your martial arts, it's just a matter of life and death, and you should use it."

After speaking, he put the knife back into its sheath, as if the scene just now had never happened.

The disciple of the Golden Knife Sect on the opposite side was unwilling to let it go, and shouted: "You are too rude, the people in our house, it is not your turn to try."

Shangguan Qing's lowered eyes were raised again, and he glanced at the person opposite indifferently.

Yan Wuhua stood in the middle of the two parties, shaking her head and said: "At first I was indeed suspicious, Brother Shangguan did this to prove my innocence. Now that the misunderstanding has been clarified, neither party needs to worry anymore. These bodyguards rescued me Take my life, help me, absolutely no malice, don't blame them."

He was still in shock, his tone was still a little raised, but what he said was very calm.

Zhao Shitu followed suit and said, "What brother Yan said is true, please don't blame me."

The disciples of the Golden Knife Sect stopped insisting because of their face, and put down their swords one after another, but their expressions were not very good-looking.

Some of them have been with Master Yuan for a long time, and some of them have just joined the sect.Some people are depressed because they are sad for the deceased, while some people are silent but busy with their own danger.

There was a dispute just now, but nothing was resolved, and the identity of the murderer was still elusive.It won't take long for the news to spread. Yuan Leixing's death will definitely shake the Yuan family's position in the escort club. The fire has already reached the door of his house, and everyone in the Yuan family is in panic. There is only one person who can succeed Yuan Leixing in charge of the overall situation, but his origin is unknown. illegitimate child.

What's more, the illegitimate child is still an unknown junior who doesn't know a little bit of martial arts.

The unknown junior came to Yuan Leixing's body, squatted down, and said in deep pain: "Mr. Jia, let someone prepare the coffin. The guards in the house will be strengthened in the past few days. If anyone finds any traces of intrusion, report it immediately. Let your guard down."

"Okay, okay." Director Jia nodded repeatedly. He was a person who had no idea, and now he finally got the order, and immediately took the other disciples, left the inner courtyard, and went to work.

Yan Wuhua stood up and said with a long sigh: "My father will take away the important secrets of the Yuan family, even though I have traveled thousands of miles to offer gold thread clothes and bring the Kunwu sword, what I have done is nothing. It's all in vain."

Zhao Shitu saw that his expression was in a trance, so he walked up to him and asked, "Did your father leave any letters or documents?"

Yan Wuhua shook her head and said: "No, he has always acted cautiously, and would never take the risk of leaking secrets and leave redundant documents. Chief Zhao, I promised to tell you the truth, but now it seems that I may have to renege on my promise."

Zhao Shitu comforted him and said, "Brother Yan, don't worry, the most important thing right now is to stabilize the situation, and then try to thoroughly investigate the murderer."

Yan Wuhua smiled bitterly: "I'm just a useless bastard, I don't even have the ability to protect myself from the sword, let alone avenge my father."

Zhao Shitu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Although the road in front of us is broken, there may not be no roads in other places. Looking back now, our bumpy journey was all caused by the four treasures of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. As long as we follow this clue If you continue to investigate, there will always be something to gain."

Yan Wuhua looked at him, and said hesitantly, "Does Escort Zhao mean that he is willing to continue helping me?"

Zhao Shitu nodded and said: "Brother Yan is my friend. If a friend is in trouble, he will naturally help him."

Yan Wuhua said: "However, I really feel sorry for dragging Zhao Biaotou into this dangerous situation."

Zhao Shitu said: "Brother Yan, don't worry, I have already passed through the more dangerous situation safely, and my luck has always been very good."

Yan Wuhua was stunned for a moment, and smiled gratefully at him.

Everyone waited for a while in the inner courtyard, and watched Director Jia carry the wooden coffin, put Yuan Leixing's body in, and carried it out of the inner courtyard.After the team left, Director Jia came to Yan Wuhua and said, "Master, there are guests here."

Yan Wuhua was surprised: "Visiting at this time? I remember that the government has already been here."

Mr. Jia said, "It's not the government."

Yan Wuhua said: "If you come to see a joke, send them away."

Director Jia hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I originally planned to do so, but the man said that he had an important secret to tell the young master, and he refused to leave no matter what."

Yan Wuhua frowned and asked, "Did the other party declare his family name?"

Manager Jia nodded and said, "His surname is Wu, and his name is Wu Qingyi."

Yan Wuhua's expression froze, and she immediately said: "This Wu Qingyi, is it possible that he is a single disciple of the Mo family?"

Zhao Shitu nodded and said, "I've heard his name and surname, so I guess it should be."

The Mohist family was one of the four major families awarded by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and one of the four treasures of Emperor Wen was in their hands.

Yan Wuhua originally planned to try to contact her, but she didn't expect the other party to come to her door, so she no longer hesitated, nodded and said, "Take me to see him," then turned around, "Boss Zhao, everyone, come together too. Bar."

"Okay." Zhao Shitu replied.The rest of the people also nodded in response, only Shangguanqing was still standing at the door of the study, motionless.

He stood upright, but his head was lowered, and his body leaned slightly forward, like a tree rooted in the ground.

Zhao Shitu came to his side and stuck it in his ear: "Shangguan, I know you are not feeling well."

Shangguan Qing said indifferently: "Boss Zhao, you go with them, I..."

"Listen to me," Zhao Shitu interrupted him, turned his body slightly, and just put it next to his ear, and whispered, "I know Yuan Leixing is your father, and you are the son he claimed to have died. The courtyard is the place where you accidentally injured someone."

Shangguan Qing opened his eyes wide, turned his head suddenly, and looked at him in disbelief.

Zhao Shitu continued: "Although I can't share your pain, I can at least share your secrets. Although you have left your hometown, Yuan Leixing is your relative after all. Don't worry, I will not disclose these things to others. Regardless of your identity , to me, you are always Shangguan Qing."

He met his gaze and took a deep breath.

Although his heart was uneasy, many thoughts came and went, but his eyes did not avoid, and with a stubborn meaning, he firmly stuck to the other party.

He is well aware of the paleness of words, but he has tried his best and is helpless. He can only express his feelings with words in vain.Now even the words are stretched, like a puddle that is on the verge of drying up, he feels like he has become a fish in the puddle, and there is no other way but to stare closely at the other party.

He fixed Shangguan Qing's eyes and said: "If you don't believe me, you can test me casually, you saved my life."

Shangguanqing also looked at Zhao Shitu, as if he was forced to face a huge problem.

Although this person stood where he was, his gaze followed him closely, driving him to a corner, with nowhere to escape.

He once escaped from this courtyard, to the ends of the earth, he thought that there was nothing in the world that he could not escape, but at this moment, he could not escape this gaze.

He finally said, "I'm afraid you may believe me wrongly."

Zhao Shitu immediately said: "I'm not afraid."

Shangguan Qing was speechless, he could only sigh lightly, and said lightly: "Okay, I'll go with you."
