Mistaking the villain Xianzun as the object of salvation

The two hidden guards walked to the center of the hall, slammed the two bloody guards to the ground, and then quietly retreated behind Gu Ruhai.

"Ho...ho..." Those two people are not dead yet, they wriggled slowly like worms, making a ho-ho sound from their throats, even their tongues were pulled out by the roots, and their eye sockets became two deep slits. Blood hole, no human figure can be seen.

Zhou Yue quietly clenched her fists, her heart beat faster, and a layer of cold sweat slowly broke out on her back.

Gu Ruhai said lightly: "You should have heard that Cheng'er is missing."

There was silence in the hall, only two bloody human figures squirmed on the ground and made some creepy noises.

"These two are the guards in charge of guarding Cheng'er on the night when Cheng'er disappeared." Gu Ruhai's voice was very calm, "These two useless slaves were tapped on the jade pillow point, and they don't even remember what happened. The seat toilet imposed some punishment."

Zhou Yue looked at the two squirming blood gourds, and smelled the strong smell of blood in the air, making her stomach churn.

"These two were attacked at the beginning of Haishi, and were discovered at the end of Choushi. After I learned about it, I immediately sealed off the entire Lingxiao Peak. Only three hours passed during this period." Gu Ruhai's voice was low and gloomy, "But these days, secretly The guards have searched all over Lingxiao Peak, but they have not found Cheng'er. Therefore, Cheng'er must have been taken away by people."

Gu Ruhai paused for a moment, then said in a cold voice: "Qingfeng Envoy, Mingyue Envoy, and the seven secret guards can all control their swords at Lingxiao Peak, but they are all confidantes of this seat, and they never left Lingxiao Peak that night. .Besides them, the only ones who can control the sword at Lingxiao Peak are the four of you."

Having said that, he slowly raised his eyes, Senhan's eyes swept over the faces of the four peak masters one by one.

There was a deathly silence in the hall.

"You are all loyal subordinates of this seat, and you have made great contributions to this seat. This seat will give you a chance, whoever did it, stand up for yourself. If this seat finds out..." Gu Ruhai paused, His eyes swept over the two bloody figures lightly.

The hall was quiet, no one stood up, and the smell of blood became stronger.

Zhou Yue secretly clenched her fists, trying to maintain a calm expression; Lin Siyun lowered her eyes, thoughtful; Lu Zilin was expressionless, as if she didn't care; Luo Xian blinked her small mung bean eyes, with a dazed and bewildered expression.

"Since you refuse to admit it, then don't blame me for being cruel." Gu Ruhai slowly rolled his eyes, looking at Lin Siyun, "Lin Siyun, let's start with you. On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, from the beginning of Haishi to the end of Choushi, where are you?"

Lin Siyun recalled: "In the past half a month, I have never left Mount Everest. After playing the piano every night, I go to bed at Haishi."

Gu Ruhai said coldly, "Who will testify?"

Lin Siyun said: "All the children and stewards on Mount Everest can testify for me."

Gu Ruhai nodded slowly, then looked at Lu Zilin again: "Lu Zilin, what about you?"

Lu Zilin spit out a word simply and neatly: "Sword."

It means that he was practicing sword that night.

"Can anyone testify?"

"No." Lu Zilin said simply, his attitude was very calm, and he didn't seem to be pretending at all.

Gu Ruhai narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while, then turned his gaze to Luo Xian.

Before he could speak, Luo Xian, a fat man, was so frightened that his knees softened, and he knelt down straight: "City Lord, I, after I maintained the Qiankun sundial (gui) for your old man at noon that day, I, I went down the mountain. The guards all saw it. How dare I, Luo Xianer, have the guts to kidnap the young city lord..."

Lin Siyun couldn't help showing a look of disdain, and Lu Zilin also frowned slightly.

Gu Ruhai also seemed to feel that Luo Xian could not do such a thing, so he gave a faint "hmm", and finally looked at Zhou Yue: "Zhou Yue, what about you?"

Zhou Yue bit the bullet and said respectfully: "City Master, after I whipped and punished the Young City Master that day, you told us to retreat, and I left the courtyard and returned to Lingxi Peak. The guards all saw it."

When he walked out of the courtyard that day, many guards did see him, but he walked halfway up the mountain, turned back from the back mountain path, and stole Gu Xuecheng.

"Are you serious?" Gu Ruhai stared at him, and paused every word.

Zhou Yue felt his scalp go numb, and the cold sweat came off his back. Gu Ruhai's falcon eyes seemed to see through him, and the coercion was like a stormy sea, overwhelming Mount Tai!

"Subordinates dare not lie to the city lord." Zhou Yue lowered his brows and pleasing to the eye, desperately urging the spiritual power of his whole body, and at the same time silently recited "Odds change and even stays the same, symbols look at the quadrant...", trying to divert attention, and finally withstood Gu Ruhai's attack With monstrous coercion, no will collapse, and a full confession.

Gu Ruhai narrowed his eyes, and finally withdrew his coercion, as if he believed it.

Zhou Yue closed her eyes and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The first test was finally passed, but this was just the beginning.

At this time, a personal guard hurried to Gu Ruhai's side, and said in a low voice: "City Master, there is a medicine boy kneeling in front of the mountain gate in Lingxi Peak. He said that he has news about the Young City Master and wants to see him."

Sure enough.

Zhou Yue's heart sank slightly, and the worst thing he expected happened. His heart was extremely heavy, but his face showed a very confused expression: "The medicine boy from Lingxi Peak?"

Gu Ruhai glanced at Zhou Yue, and said in a cold voice, "Gu San, take him up with Yujian."

In less than a moment, Gu San led a young man into Lingxiao Hall, the young man was handsome and smart, he was sixteen or seventeen years old, and it was Zisu.

Gu Ruhai said lightly: "Who are you, and what do you have to report?"

Zisu knelt down with a thud, prostrated herself on the ground, her forehead almost sticking to the ground: "Small, the villain's name is Zisu, and he is the personal boy of Peak Master Zhou of Lingxi Peak. The villain knows the whereabouts of the young city lord. Report to your old man!"

Gu Ruhai said in a deep voice, "Get up and answer."

"Thank you, the city lord!" Zisu stood up, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her expression was nervous and a little proud, "Report to the city lord, it's like this. On the night of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, my peak lord took me and Bai Shu after leaving Lingxiao Peak. The mountain yard, all the way to the mountainside, and then the peak master said that he was going to collect herbs, so Bai Zhu and I went back first."

This was quite different from what Zhou Yue said just now. Lin Siyun and Luo Xian couldn't help turning their heads to look at Zhou Yue. Even Lu Zilin rolled his eyes and looked at Zhou Yue in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to dare to lie.

Zhou Yue lowered her head, her face was very ugly.

Gu Ruhai's voice was cold: "Continue talking."

Zi Su hurriedly said: "After the villain returned to Lingxi Peak, he took the children to count the medicinal materials, but when delivering the medicinal materials to the warehouse, the villain met the peak owner in the corridor. Lord, he..."

"What's up with him?"

"He was holding a person, wrapped in a quilt, and he couldn't see clearly."

There were a few extremely slight gasps in the hall, and everyone looked at Zhou Yue one after another. Gu Ruhai's knife-like gaze swept Zhou Yue from head to toe, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.

Zhou Yue defended weakly: "Then... that's the medicine man."

"Medicine, people?" Gu Ruhai paused every word.

Zi Su hurriedly said: "He lied! The villain also believed it at the time, but later the peak master didn't send the so-called medicine man into the alchemy room, and even sealed the yard to prevent anyone from entering or leaving!"

Zhou Yue's face became paler, and he stammered and argued: "This, these can't explain anything... Then, that's a medicine man! You, you nonsense slave, see if I pull out your tongue!! "

Gu Ruhai said coldly: "Zhou Yue, in front of me, do you want to act wild?"

Zhou Yue immediately submissive and dared not say anything.

Zisu had a reliance, and couldn't help showing complacency, and said with a sneer: "If you are not sure, how dare the villain go to Lingxiao Peak to ask the city lord? This morning, the villain heard Gu Qiye say that the young city lord The villain thought about it back and forth, and broke out in a cold sweat. After the peak master left, the villain walked around the courtyard, who knew that the peak master left in a hurry and forgot to seal it."

Zhou Yue's eyes widened, her lips trembled slightly, and she looked panic-stricken.

Zi Su continued: "The villain bravely climbed over the wall and went in. He secretly peeked through the gap in the window. There was indeed a young man in white in the bedroom. He was leaning on the bedside to read the sword manual. He was not a medicine man at all, but a living man." The villain once took a look at the young city master from a distance half a year ago, and his age and body shape are all right."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to say a word, and the hall was completely silent.

"Zhou Yue." Gu Ruhai's voice was extremely cold, "Is what this person said true?"

Zhou Yue was tongue-tied and her face flushed red: "City Master, no, it's not what you think, that person is not Young City Master...I, I..."

He seemed to be petrified, unable to utter a single word, and almost collapsed to the ground.

Gu Ruhai's eyes became colder and colder, and then he waved his hand: "Gu Liu and Gu Qi, support Peak Master Zhou well, I want to go to Lingxi Peak to see for myself."

"Yes!" Gu Liu and Gu Qi agreed, and the two supported Zhou Yue, one left and one right, Zhou Yue seemed to be so frightened that her legs were limp and she couldn't even stand up.

Everyone rose up with their swords in the air and came straight to Lingxi Peak.

Lingxi Peak was quiet, and Bai Shu was sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the courtyard. When he heard the sound, he looked up and was stunned: "Peak Lord! City, City Lord!"

"Get out of the way!" A hidden guard threw him aside casually, and everyone entered the yard and went straight to the bedroom. The door and windows of the bedroom were tightly closed, and there was no sound from inside.

Zhou Yue was limply supported by two hidden guards, and her voice was already crying: "City Master, Young City Master was really not taken away by me, not what you think... I just, I just..."

Gu Ruhai ignored him, and said flatly, "Gu San."

"Yes, City Lord!" Gu San kicked open the door!

The bedroom was very dark, filled with ambiguous and rich incense, and the snow-white and soft curtains hung down layer by layer. Through those fluttering curtains, one could vaguely see the big bed slightly raised, and there was clearly a person inside the quilt.

Gu Ruhai's face was ashen, and everyone didn't even dare to vent their anger. Lin Siyun couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yue, that look seemed to say, "Are you looking for death?"

At this moment, Zhou Yue didn't know where the strength came from. He broke away from the two hidden guards suddenly, and threw himself on the quilt, crying ghostly and howling: "City Master, he is really not the Young City Master! This subordinate is wronged!" !He's just, he's just..."

"Get out of the way!!" In his rage, Gu Ruhai forgot to call himself "this seat". He stepped forward, stretched out his big hand like an eagle catching a chicken, and lifted Zhou Yue up. The hand lifted the quilt violently!

The brocade quilt fell to the ground quietly, and there was silence in the bedroom.

Under the eyes of everyone, curled up under the quilt was a handsome young man in a thin white gauze, looking at Gu Ruhai in panic.
