peach blossom

Although Haitang was indignant, but since Xiao Fengling gave the order, she couldn't disobey, so she could only stare at the five people fiercely, put away her sword and followed Xiao Fengling and walked out.

"Why, do you want to leave?" Lao Sun quickly walked up the mountain and blocked Xiao Fengling's way at the door, he put the knife across his chest, and said with a sneer, "It's not that easy!"

Xiao Fengling didn't slow down her pace at all, as if she couldn't see the old grandson who was getting closer to her and the shining long knife in his hand, the moment the two people's bodies intertwined, a scream came from the narrow doorway.

Xiao Fengling still walked unhurriedly, as if she didn't hear it, and was not affected by the screams at all, but Lao Sun was far less calm than him.Because the person who screamed was himself, with his left hand covering his right shoulder, Lao Sun stared straight at an arm on the ground, his own arm holding a knife, Lao Sun's eyes were full of disbelief Terrified, he didn't even see how the young man made his move.Turning his face away with difficulty, he looked at the back of the man who was going away. He was dressed in white and had black hair. A sword appeared in his right hand at some point. Two blood-colored peach blossoms bloomed beautifully on the sword.

"Tao... Yao..." Lao Sun opened his mouth and said hoarsely and tremblingly, "You are... Xiao..."

Before Lao Sun finished speaking, he fainted on the ground due to excessive blood loss.Seeing this scene, the four people at the same table were already too shocked to speak. They knew that they had encountered a ruthless character today, so they didn't dare to make any more provocations, so they hurried over to help the fainted old grandson out of the inn through the back door .

"Master, did you notice their eyes just now? They all stared, their eyeballs almost fell off." Haitang said proudly as she walked, as if the person who just cut off the old grandson's arm was not Xiao Fengling was herself.

Xiao Fengling just walked forward, not paying attention to Haitang's words, thinking over and over again what those people said just now, another martial arts celebrity was attacked by surprise, and the crime was charged on him again, he no longer thinks about Tang Xiao How do you want to frame yourself, but what is Tang Xiao's purpose in killing these people.Nangong Lian, Wang Kui, Mrs. Huijing, and Ling Yun, the owner of Zhujian Villa, seemed to have no relationship with Tang Xiao, so why did Tang Xiao kill them.

The same question was lingering in Han Tiexin's mind at this time. He had seen Ling Yun's information in the Yufeng Building's database. He had always lived in seclusion, practicing swords in Qingyunling Zhujian Villa all the year round, and rarely walked around the rivers and lakes. , not many people have met his true self in Jianghu, let alone had any enmity with anyone, but this is such a person, and he and Nangong Lian are close friends.Han Tiexin suddenly came up with a very bold hypothesis. Among the famous martial arts figures killed in the Jianghu recently, the first person to die was Nan Gonglian, and the people who died after him, except for Wang Kui, the owner of the famous sword villa, the others Everyone has a close relationship with Nangong Lian and they often come into contact with each other, but Wang Kui was killed after leaving the Nangong family after participating in the sword test meeting, so it can be regarded as having some relationship with Nangong Lian.

Thinking of this, Han Tiexin's heart gradually became clear: Xiao Fengling was just a cover for the whole incident, a scapegoat. The murderer focused everyone's attention on Xiao Fengling, and then covered up their real purpose of killing.

So, what is their real purpose?

"Haitang, go to Zhujian Villa." Xiao Fengling said lightly, then got into the carriage and said nothing.

The three of them drove to Zhujian Villa in a carriage, and found that there were more than a dozen guards patrolling the gate, Haitang said secretly: "This formation, where is Zhujian Villa, which official's mansion is it?"

"It seems that the owner of the villa has been seriously injured." Han Tiexin said softly.

Haitang gave him a hard look with her big eyes, and said, "How do you know that his injury is not serious? Could it be that you have relatives working here who saw it?"

Facing Haitang's provocation, Han Tiexin shook his head helplessly, followed Xiao Fengling towards the door, and when there was still a distance, two guards shouted from a distance:

"Who are you?"

Xiao Fengling said: "I want to see your owner."

The two guards came over, and when they saw Xiao Fengling's appearance, they were taken aback for a moment, and their eyes were fixed on his face, as if there was something unusual growing on his face.When Xiao Fengling's eyes met theirs, they all lowered their heads in unison.

"The owner is practicing in seclusion, so it's inconvenient to see guests now." said the guard who looked a little older.

"You don't have to lie to me, I know he was injured." Xiao Fengling exposed his lie mercilessly, "I don't mean any harm, but I just want to ask him something, you go in and report it."

"This..." The guard faintly felt that the white-clothed man in front of him knew that the owner was injured but insisted on seeing him. He was clearly here to find fault. She is so beautiful, but there is a faint evil spirit from between her brows, and she knows that she is a difficult master, even if she stops her, she will not be able to stop her. When she was in a difficult situation, Han Tiexin said: "Don't worry , we have no malicious intentions, but were entrusted by Mrs. Nangong to come here to visit Master Ling."

After the guard heard Mrs. Nangong's words, his vigilant expression relaxed a lot, and he whispered a few words to the person around him. The man nodded and ran to the villa. After a while, he went back again. , and said to Xiao Fengling and Han Tiexin: "The owner is here to invite you."

The three of them came to Ling Yun's room following the lead of Zhuang Zhong's servant, and as soon as they opened the door, a strong herbal smell entered his nose domineeringly, Xiao Fengling's brows frowned even tighter, he knew that it was the herbal medicine to stop bleeding , although I don't know the name, but Wen Yu used it to stop the bleeding when he had a miscarriage. I will never forget the taste of that medicine in my life.

"Villa Master, someone has brought it here." The guard said respectfully.

"The three are..."

An old and slightly hoarse voice came from behind the screen. Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Fengling walked around the screen by himself and said, "I am Xiao Fengling."

As soon as Xiao Fengling finished speaking, everyone was taken aback. The guard who brought them in took the guilt of leading a wolf into the room and drew his sword to protect the person who was leaning on the bed halfway behind the screen.

Han Tiexin looked at the man sitting on the bed, he was not as old as he had imagined when he heard the voice just now, but his complexion was sallow, his eyes were black and blue, and he was listless, obviously suffering from serious internal injuries.

"You are... Master Ling?" It was difficult for Han Tiexin to connect this crooked man in front of him with Ling Yun, the number one swordsmith in martial arts.

"That's right." The man covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and the maid behind him hurriedly patted his back to let him breathe. He looked at Xiao and Han, his eyes that were not very bright, but there was a calmness that never changed. He nodded and said, "I am Ling Yun."
