Clear Turbulence Sword

Murong Yuan walked out of the hut, feeling as bewildered as this night.He didn't know where he was going, or what was right to do.The two thieves have always been invisible, and if they don't come to him, he doesn't know where to find them.Lu Zian's resentment towards him couldn't be dispelled for a while, even he himself didn't want to believe it was true.Maybe there are other ways besides robbing the prison. If you use other ways, maybe Lu Hantian won't have to die.

Everything that happened these days resurfaced in Murong Yuan's mind. Originally, Murong Lie's death was already a big blow to him, but he didn't expect that if he didn't cause trouble, the trouble would find him.He looked in the direction of Qingyun Villa, that peaceful day was already so far away from him, and he didn't know when all these troubles would end.

Murong Yuan walked aimlessly all night, and before he knew it, it was dawn.Murong Yuan looked around, this is a small village, it has already left the capital city.There was a noodle shop in the village, Murong Yuan went in and ordered a bowl of noodles.Just at this time, a few beggars came early to ask the shopkeeper for some food, but the shopkeeper just kept rushing out.Murong Yuan felt that these people were very pitiful, not only were they homeless, they couldn't even fill their stomachs.So he asked for a few more bowls of noodles, and invited a few beggars to the table to eat together.

The beggars were not too polite, they put their heads in their mouths as soon as the noodles came.One of the old beggars with a gray beard thanked him first, and after eating half a bowl of noodles, he said to Murong Yuan, "What's the relationship between this young hero and the former leader Murong?"

Murong Yuan said, "It's my father."

The old beggar nodded, "No wonder you have this sword."

Murong Yuan asked curiously, "The old man has seen it before."

The old beggar buried his face in the bowl again, and whimpered, "I haven't seen it before, but I've heard of it before. You can tell the origin of this sword just by looking at it."

Murong Yuan said, "The Beggar Clan is well-informed, there is probably nothing in the world that the Beggar Clan doesn't know about."

Murong Yuan couldn't help being overjoyed when he said this, since this beggar gang is well-informed, maybe they know the whereabouts of the two thieves, why not take this opportunity to ask the beggar gang for help? place"

The old beggar still only focused on eating the noodles, until he licked the bowl clean before he raised his head and said, "In order to repay the young hero's kindness, this old man is obliged to take you to see the leader."

The old beggar took Murong Yuan to the main rudder of the Beggar Clan a few miles away, this main rudder was just a dilapidated courtyard with three thatched huts, all of which were dilapidated.The old beggar first went inside to report, and after a while led Murong Yuan in.The leader of the beggar gang is named Ling Wanhai, and he is the No.80 ninth-generation leader.This Ling Wanhai was about 40 years old, although he was dressed in rags, he was still very heroic, and he was sitting at the top right now.Standing behind him is a fair and clean scholar, I don't know who it is, and Sun Hong, the deputy head of the gang, sits at the bottom.

Murong Yuan saluted and said, "Junior Murong Yuan, I have met Chief Ling and Grandson Chief."

Ling Wanhai said with a smile, "Nephew, you don't need to be too polite. My father and I have been close friends for many years. I even hugged you when you were young. My nephew now regards this place as his own home, even though it is a bit simple."

Murong Yuan said, "When my father was alive, he often mentioned Uncle Ling. When we meet Uncle Ling today, he is still as extraordinary as he was back then."

Ling Wanhai said, "Don't say polite words. My nephew has never liked to walk around the rivers and lakes. How come you have time to come to me today?"

Murong Yuan said, "To tell you the truth, my nephew came here to kill and steal."

"I see." Ling Wanhai looked at Changsun Hong.

Chang Sun Hong is also about 40 years old, wearing a purple robe, with a faint smile on his face.

Changsun Hong said, "Since I learned that the treasure box was stolen, I sent people around to investigate. Although I didn't find the pair of thieves, I got a useful clue."

Murong Yuan said happily, "What clue?"

Changsun Hong said, "Not long ago, the family Jade Buddha lost by the Shao family in the south of the Yangtze River suddenly appeared in Mobei and was bought by a wealthy businessman. It must be a pair of thieves who brought this object to Mobei to sell."

Murong Yuan nodded and said, "Very likely."

Chang Sunhong continued, "So I sent more people to investigate, but I haven't received a reply yet."

Murong Yuan said to Ling Wanhai, "Since the two thieves are likely to be in Mobei, then my nephew will leave now."

Ling Wanhai wanted to entertain Murong Yuan, but Murong Yuan was too impatient, so he had no choice but to let him get up and go north.Murong Yuan first bought a fast horse at the market, bought some dry food and drinks, then ran towards Mobei from the post road.Just after walking for a few miles, I came to a dense forest.Murong Yuan faintly felt a murderous aura pervading the surroundings, so he stopped his horse and looked around.Suddenly five people rushed out from the ground, Murong Yuan didn't panic, and calmly held Qing Tuan Sword in his hand.Those five people surrounded the horse, Murong Yuan glanced at them one by one, they were three men and two women, they seemed to be people who had been wandering in the rivers and lakes for a long time.

Murong Yuan said indifferently, "robbing money"

Only to hear one of the red scarf women say angrily, "Murong Yuan, you ask the question knowingly!"

Murong Yuan wondered that the other party knew who he was, and seemed to be waiting here specially, so he said slowly, "I don't know where Murong Yuan offended everyone."

The red scarf woman scolded, "You have done a good thing, but you are pretending to be stupid!" After speaking, she swung the long whip in her hand and attacked Murong Yuan, and the other four also attacked Murong Yuan together.Murong Yuan jumped to avoid the long whip, and the Qing Tuan sword came out in response, a sharp sword energy rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground and attacked the five people, the five hurriedly covered their eyes with their hands.With a movement of his body, Murong Yuan snatched behind the red scarf woman and grabbed her by the throat with one hand.The other four didn't expect Murong Yuan to strike so quickly, the red scarf woman was in Murong Yuan's hands, and the four of them panicked for a moment.

Only one man said, "Let go of my junior sister!"

Murong Yuan said, "It's fine to let her go. But you have to tell me why you killed me."

The woman with the red scarf in her hand said, "You killed Vice President Lu and joined the eunuch Liu Jin, everyone in the martial arts world will be punished!"

Murong Yuan couldn't help but his expression darkened, he knew that what happened last night had already spread throughout the world.Although Lu Hantian was not killed by him, he did die at his hands. "I am responsible for Uncle Lu's death, but I didn't intentionally harm him. You say that I have taken refuge in Liu Jin, what proof do you have?"

The man took out a notice from his arms and slowly unfolded it.Murong Yuan could see it clearly, it said that Murong Yuan had meritorious deeds in killing the imperial court and invading Lu Hantian, and he ordered him to be made a royal bodyguard and obey orders under Eunuch Liu's tent.

Murong Yuan said angrily, "Who posted this notice?"

The man said, "Of course it's Dongchang."

"Ridiculous! It's clearly a conspiracy laid by Qiu Dachu, but I blame it." Murong Yuan was furious for a moment, and unintentionally added a little strength to his hand, the red scarf woman was blocked from breathing, and couldn't help coughing a few times.The other four were shocked and said nervously, "Murong Yuan, let her go!"

Murong Yuan was unintentional at first, so he immediately let go of his hand, and pushed the red scarf woman in front of the four of them, who hurriedly caught her.

The red scarf woman said, "Why didn't you kill me?"

Murong Yuan asked back, "Why should I kill you? Is it fun to kill?"

The red scarf woman asked, "Then why did you kill Vice President Lu?"

Murong Yuan's tone was very affirmative, and he said word by word, "I said I didn't intend to kill Uncle Lu."

The man said, "Then why did Lu Zian seek revenge on you?"

When Lu Zian was mentioned, Murong Yuan felt a little guilty in his heart, and he didn't know how to explain it at the moment, only that there was a misunderstanding.So he ignored the five people, got on his horse, and prepared to go on his way.

The red scarf woman wanted to stop her, but Murong Yuan swung his sword across and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to kill people."The man knew that even if the five of them teamed up, Murong Yuan could not be defeated, so he persuaded the woman in red, and watched Murong Yuan leave helplessly.

There are many sandy mountains and solitary ridges in the Mobei area, and the population is extremely sparse.Although winter had just entered at this time, there were already snowflakes.The whole world was in a daze, feeling desolate.Walking in the sweeping north wind, even if you don't pretend to be a posture, you can still feel a kind of stubbornness and perseverance.Murong Yuan wrapped his coat tightly, and his eyebrows were covered with a layer of white ice crystals.There is a small town not far ahead, this is the first decent place Murong Yuan has encountered in more than 20 days.The town is located on the edge of the desert, and the town is surrounded by tall stone walls, which were originally used to resist the wind and sand, but it looks like a forbidden place that cannot be entered.

There are only two main roads in this town, vertical and horizontal, and the residents are scattered on both sides of the road, and the residents are very close to each other, separated only by a mud wall.Murong Yuan walked along the longitudinal road for a long time, but found no place to rest.At this moment, the snow has fallen heavily, as if it has been laid down layer by layer from the sky.The doors and windows of the surrounding people were closed tightly, and the whole town was so cold that no one could feel a trace of life.

Murong Yuan knocked on the wooden door of a low room, and a faint voice came from inside after a long time, "Who is it?"

"Those passing by, can you go in and have a rest?" Murong Yuan asked.

The wooden door creaked open, and an old man with a gray beard poked his head out and looked at Murong Yuan.

"come in."

Murong Yuan patted the snow off his body and walked into the house.The light in the room was a bit dim, and an old woman was sitting on the kang inside, putting her hands on a small stove to bake.Murong Yuan walked inside and said, "The old man interrupted you."

The old woman's eyes were a bit inconvenient, she looked carefully at Murong Yuan, and said enthusiastically, "Come on, come and warm your hands."

The old man brought a stool over, Murong Yuan took it, and sat down by the stove.Murong Yuan's hand holding the sword was so cold that he lost consciousness a long time ago, he put his hand close to the top of the flame, and could barely feel a little scorching heat.The warmth spread from the fingers all the way to the whole body, and the blood flowed again as if melting, from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head, gradually swelled a little.Murong Yuan staggered and almost fell off the chair.He touched his forehead, which was already burning badly.I was outside because of the cold weather, so my mind was always clear. Although I felt uncomfortable, it was not too uncomfortable.This time, when I entered the house, the symptoms became more obvious as soon as I warmed up.

Seeing this, the old man gave Murong Yuan a hand, and said to the old woman, "He has a fever, cover him with a quilt, and I'll make a bowl of porridge for him."

Murong Yuan wanted to thank him, but his head was heavy and his throat was stuffy, so he couldn't speak for a while, so he had to lie down and rest first.I thought it would be better to lie down, but my body became more and more uncomfortable. The whole body was fought by ice and fire, and it was cold and hot at times.Gradually, Murong Yuan's consciousness became somewhat blurred, and he didn't know where he was.He saw his dead father, he was always full of love for Murong Yuan.And Xiaodie, the girl he has always loved deeply, she said she would wait for him to come back to get married, Cheng Yifeng stood aside, stroking his beard and smiling at them.Suddenly, Lu Zian with bloodshot eyes rushed over, his hands were covered with blood and said he wanted to avenge his father.Murong Yuan shivered, and kept explaining, "Zian, I didn't kill Uncle Lu intentionally, please believe me!"

The old man came into the room with a bowl of porridge, and the old woman pointed to Murong Yuan, indicating that he was asleep.

"Old man, can you find some herbs to make a soup for this young man?" the old woman whispered.

The old man sighed, "Where can we find herbs in such a remote place, besides, there are some in the town, but we can't afford it."

"This child is so burned that he is talking nonsense. It seems that he is also a person with worries."

"Who comes to this town without a story?"

Murong Yuan turned over again involuntarily, although he was already asleep, the pain in his body didn't stop.The old man stretched out his hand to touch Murong Yuan's forehead and said in surprise, "Oh no, if this continues, I'm afraid my life will be lost!"

The old woman was also surprised, and said anxiously, "It's snowing so much outside, it's not easy to go out and find someone. What can I do?"

The two of them were at a loss as to what to do, when suddenly something broke the window paper and flew in from the outside, and fell at their feet.The old man picked it up and it turned out to be a ball of paper.The two looked at each other with a surprised look on their faces.The old man opened the ball of paper, and there was a pill inside.

The old woman said, "It seems that someone wants to help this young man, so give him the pill first."

The old man went to pour a glass of water, the two of them worked together to help Murong Yuan up, the old man put the elixir into his mouth, and fed him some water.Murong Yuan was still unconscious, but not long after taking the elixir, his condition has improved a lot.It was already the next night when Murong Yuan woke up, the old man and the old woman were overjoyed to see him wake up.

"Am I asleep?" Murong Yuan asked.He opened his eyes, and the old man and the old woman were sitting next to him.

"You've been asleep for a whole day," said the old man

"How is it? Is it better?" the old woman asked with concern.

Murong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, moved his body a little, and felt much better, so he got up and thanked, "Thank you two for taking care of me."

The old man said, "You're welcome, just lie down and rest."

Murong Yuan sat up and said, "It's okay. May I ask the old man, is there a rich businessman in this area?"

The old man said, "Yes, there are, but why are you asking this?"

Murong Yuan said, "This junior wants to ask that rich businessman something."

At this time, the old lady said, "I advise you not to look for it anymore, go back while you recover from your illness, and don't cause so much trouble."

"The junior has a heavy responsibility, I'm afraid I have to go."

"Do you know who most people are in this town?" the old man said.

"Please tell me, old man."

"It's not far from the border, and it's extremely remote. The people in the town are either prisoners exiled here or hackers who escaped from their enemies. It's hard for ordinary people to survive here."

"That rich businessman is the same kind of person"

"To tell you the truth, that rich businessman is called Chen Jingze. He made his fortune by robbing houses, and he came here to avoid his enemies."

"You should be familiar with this area." Murong Yuan asked.

The old man smiled, "It's not for nothing that I'm old, I know a little about everything in the town."

"Then have you ever heard of the bloodthirsty double thieves? It's two thieves."

The old man shook his head, "There are no such people in the town."

Murong Yuan pondered, "Looks like I have to go through it all."

Early the next morning, Murong Yuan asked the two old men where the wealthy businessman lived, and he was about to leave.Before leaving, he handed an ingot of silver to the old man and said, "This is a kindness from the younger generation, you and the elder must accept it."

The two old men refused to accept.

Murong Yuan said, "You have saved my life, I am afraid that this reward is far from enough."

The old man said, "Actually, it wasn't us who saved you, but a stranger."

"Stranger" Murong Yuan said strangely.

The old woman said, "That's right, someone threw a elixir through the window the day before yesterday, which made your fever go away, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do."

Murong Yuan hurriedly asked, "Did you see that person clearly?"

The old man said, "If he refuses to show up, there is nothing we can do."

Murong Yuan couldn't help but look around, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.Murong Yuan insisted on keeping the money, bid farewell to the old couple and went to the rich merchant.

The wealthy businessman's surname is Chen. He was originally from the south of the Yangtze River. Now he has built a manor here, right in the center of the town. It seems that this person has an extraordinary status here.The snow had already stopped, and a full three feet of snow had accumulated on the ground. Fortunately, the weather was cold, and the fallen snow had been frozen solid, so it wouldn't sink too deep if you stepped on it.

Murong Yuan came all the way to the gate of the manor and knocked on the closed vermilion lacquer gate.Not long after, a middle-aged man opened the door, who looked like a housekeeper.He sized Murong Yuan up and asked bluntly, "What's the matter with you?"

Murong Yuan said in a deep voice, "Murong Yuan, I want to see the owner of your villa."

"What do you want from my master?" the butler asked again.

"To be honest, I am currently tracking down the two thieves. I hope the owner can provide some clues."

The man thought for a while and said, "You wait, I'll report to you." He closed the door again.

Murong Yuan thought to himself, this housekeeper is so rough, it must be that this manor is not an easy place to come and go.While meditating, the door opened again, and the butler led Murong Yuan to the villa.The courtyard is deep. Entering the gate is a spacious courtyard. Going in through the porch, there are east and west wing rooms on both sides, and a corridor with vermilion columns in front of the wing rooms.In the center is the living room. The owner's residence must still be behind the living room, and there seem to be several houses behind it. I really don't know how heavy this manor is.

Entering the living room, the owner Chen Jingze stood up to greet him, "Young man, please sit down."

Murong Yuan returned the courtesy, "Master Chen is very polite."

"Dare to ask where the young hero comes from"

"Central Plains."

"Oh" Chen Jingze said, "The servants say that Shaoxia has changed his surname to Murong. How dare you ask the former leader Murong Lie and Shaoxia what is the relationship?"

Murong Yuan said, "It's my father."

Chen Jingze said solemnly, "It turns out that he is a descendant of the leader of the alliance. I'm sorry and disrespectful."

Murong Yuan said slowly, "The owner is polite. I think the owner is a bold person, so I won't go around in circles. In fact, I am here to ask the owner."

"Young Xia has something to do, but it's okay to say it."

"I heard that Master Chen bought a priceless Jade Buddha not long ago. I don't know where he bought it from."

Chen Jingze said strangely, "The old man has never bought any Jade Buddha. I don't know where the young man heard about it."

Murong Yuan murmured, "Since that's the case, the younger generation misunderstood and believed."

"The young man asked the Jade Buddha what he didn't know what happened"

"I just want to use this to find two people."

"The old man can't help much."

Murong Yuan got up and said, "The junior won't bother you anymore."

"Young man, walk slowly, you can come and sit often when you have time."

Chen Jingze watched Murong Yuan go out, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, his eyes were full of murderous intent.The butler came in and said, "Master, this Murong Yuan came from the Central Plains, it seems that he is aiming at us."

Chen Jingze looked at the sky outside the door and said, "Murong Lie was meddling in his life, I didn't expect his son to be the same. But what he is looking for is indeed with me. The two thieves not only sold the Jade Buddha to me, but also the lord The treasure box I keep is also in my hand, it’s not so easy to take it.”

The steward asked, "The owner, what should we do?"

"It's still the same sentence." Chen Jingze's eyes showed a fierce look, "Anyone who dares to block our way of making money will be told to die without a place to bury him!"

From the moment Murong Yuan stepped out of Chenjiazhuang, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him from behind. He purposely turned a few times in the alleys of the town, and then jumped onto an abandoned roof. Everything below was clearly visible. Chu.A few people dressed as ordinary people were sticking to the wall and looking around like mice, obviously looking for themselves.Murong Yuan smiled, grabbed a ball of white snow, squeezed a snow egg, and threw it at the leader's head.Sure enough, there was a scream from below, probably because of the severe pain.

Murong Yuan knew that these people must have been sent by Chen Jingze, he wanted to find out where he was going, and then assassinated them suddenly.He stretched out his body, crossed several alleys, and left those people far behind. At this time, he had arrived at the outskirts of the town.There are few eyes and ears here, and it is also the safest.Just as Murong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt someone behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a man and a woman looking at him expressionlessly.Murong Yuan couldn't help being secretly surprised that these two people followed behind and didn't notice it immediately, it can be seen that the two people have good lightness skills.

Murong Yuan asked, "Who are you?"

I just heard the man say, "We are the ones you are looking for—Blood and Thieves!"
