Yangyue

When Haishi was approaching, Qi Zhu had a few drinks in the private room on the second floor of the inn, and felt a little sleepy.He yawned lightly, got up and lifted the curtain of the private room, there were still many guests in the lobby downstairs, and the waiter was busy running up and down.

Qi Zhu: "The business of this inn is really good."

Henry Zhang followed behind Qi Zhu, and he didn't answer a word from Qi Zhu.

Qi Zhu was amused in his heart, thinking that the master of the pavilion is indeed still unworldly, even though his appearance and outfits have changed, his demeanor has not changed, he doesn't look like a servant at all.If you want to be a servant of an ordinary family, no matter what the master says, you have to flatter one or two, there is no one with such a cold face like him.

Qi Zhu: "I'm going back to my room to rest, you tell Xiao Er to bring some hot water for bathing."

Not long after Qi Zhu returned to his room, Xiao Er brought a wooden bucket for bathing, and then picked up two large buckets of hot water covered with a bamboo lid.

Xiao Er wiped the sweat from his head, put the sweat towel on his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Master Guest Officer, use it first, and if the water is not enough, call us, but is there any other order?"

Qi Zhu: "No more, thank you."

Xiao Er nodded flatteringly, his eyes suddenly darkened a little fiercely, he raised his hand suddenly, grabbed the wooden bucket filled with water on the ground, and poured all the water at Qi Zhu, hot white mist flowed from the bucket When it splashed out, it was not hot water, but a bucket of boiling water!

Xiao Yangyue by the door raised her foot and kicked the small square table beside her hard, and the small table flew past Qi Zhu in the blink of an eye. Boiling water splashed on the table of the small table, splashing hot water droplets.

Qi Zhu hurriedly backed away, the soles of his shoes slipped on the wet ground, and fell hard against the bed.

Seeing that the murder of Qi Zhu failed, Xiaoer took out a crescent moon knife from his clothes, turned around and grabbed Henry Zhangyue's throat.Henry Zhang flicked the scabbard and hit Xiaoer's arm, and the short knife fell to the ground. He grabbed Xiaoer's throat with his backhand and pressed him against the railing on the second floor.

The noise on the second floor attracted the attention of the guests in the lobby, and everyone looked up one after another, and saw Henry Zhang pinching Xiaoer and pressing on the railing, several righteous knights rose up, angrily questioning Henry Henry what he was doing What.

Henry Zhang turned a deaf ear to the guest's questioning, he squeezed the throat of the mistress, and hung his upper body out of the railing.

Xiao Er glared unwillingly, but Henry Zhang suddenly felt the skin in his palm start to emit a frightening scorching heat, and even his fingertips were numb from the heat.

I saw the skin on Xiaoer's face, neck, and arms slowly peeling off like charcoal, revealing the carbon black flesh that seemed to be scorched inside, his body began to ignite sparks, and then the whole person seemed to be thrown into it In the flames, it blazed up.

Soon, the charred body broke from it, the scorched bones shattered, fell straight from the railing, and fell on the table of the next table of guests. Weird smell.

At this time, everyone could only hear a terrified cry from the backyard of the inn, and no one knew who was shouting "the water is gone".

Henry Zhang turned around and kicked open the closed windows in the room, turned over lightly, and came to the eaves of the inn.

Several clusters of flames ignited in the backyard and the west corridor of the inn, and five black figures rushed towards the bamboo forest in the distance. go.

The figures of those five people fell into Henry Zhang's eyes. He stepped over the branches of the bamboo forest, and with a slight grip on the treetops, he grabbed a handful of bamboo leaves.With a flick of his fingers, a few bamboo leaves that were as soft as cotton wool became as sharp as steel needles, shooting straight into the dark forest like a sharp sword, and soon there were four muffled bangs.

Henry Zhangyue fell on the ground, and the strong wind blew up a field of bamboo leaves. At this time, on the ground not far away, there were four people lying convulsively. The few bamboo leaves just now were deeply inserted into the ground. in their necks.

The remaining bamboo leaf stuck into a tree trunk, and the remaining one of the five people disappeared without a trace.

Henry Zhang looked at the four people on the ground coldly, all of them were masked in black, he used the scabbard to lift the mask of one of them, revealing an ordinary face under the mask.

Blood was overflowing from the corner of the man's mouth, and he screamed madly: "Xiao Yangyue...you, Zhu Yinzhun's dog, will die soon..."

After he finished speaking, white steam like boiling water began to come out of his mouth, exactly the same as the shop waiter who had sex just now, all four of them began to burst and burn their skins, and red golden flames burst out from the chapped gullies in their skins.

Henry Zhang drew his knife and slashed off the arm of the person in front of him. The severed arm stopped burning and rolled to the side with steaming heat.

Not long after, four piles of scorched and broken remains appeared on the ground in the bamboo forest.

Henry Zhang cut through the coat with the broken arm with the tip of a knife, only to see a red cloth tied on the big arm exposed under the black coat.

Henry Zhang stared at the red cloth, the blade slowly retracted into the dark red scabbard, and the undercurrents in his eyes were turbulent.

Zhu Yinzhun is the name of the current emperor.

The sound of two horseshoes came from behind him, and amidst the honking of the horse, the two guards got off their horses and knelt behind Henry Zhangyue on one knee: "Master!"

At this point, Henry Zhang knew that his whereabouts had already been exposed, and there was no need to cover up any more, so he turned around and asked, "Where is Lord Hou?"

The guard froze for a moment, glanced at the broken arm that was bruised and bruised, and immediately understood, nodded and replied: "There are floods in several parts of the inn, someone deliberately set the fire on purpose, Lord Marquis is in the open space outside the inn, and other brothers are protecting it." he."

"go back."

"Yes!"

The three of them returned to the inn. Black smoke was billowing from several places in the inn, and the open space was noisy and noisy. Many brave guests were helping to carry water to put out the fire, but the fire was still getting fiercer.

Qi Zhu stood beside their sedan chair with a few guards beside them, his face tensed and worried.

The sound of horseshoes sounded behind him, Qi Zhu looked back and saw Henry Zhang and the two guards coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "What happened? Could it be that Xiao Er just now..."

"Master Hou, our whereabouts have been revealed. The fire was caused by a person with a red cloth on his arm." Henry Zhang replied in a low voice, "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, we will set off immediately."

As soon as the words were finished, there was a burst of crying from the row of upside-down rooms in the backyard of the inn, and many guests who knew martial arts rushed to that side, fearing that someone might be in danger.

As soon as they entered the backyard, the blazing fire came rushing towards them, and the inverted room was also on fire. Two waiters, whose faces were darkened by the smoke and covered in rags, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. On the ground lay a dead body. Burnt black corpses.

The corpse was beyond recognition, and the skin was basically burned. It can only be seen from the unburned clothes on the body that the corpse is actually the proprietress of this inn!

A waiter cried: "The proprietress is resting in the back room in the afternoon... unexpectedly, the fire suddenly started from the room! The sheets and bedding were all on fire... When we came... the proprietress had already... Burnt to death!"

The guests who came over couldn't bear it when they saw this, and they stood aside and sighed with their hands behind their backs.

Qi Zhu also came to the backyard, and saw the horrifying corpse on the ground through the gaps in the crowd.He frowned slightly, and stared at the clothes on the corpse with deep meaning, he could vaguely see that it was a water-red gown, which was the proprietress's attire today.

Qi Zhu still wanted to look forward, Henry Zhang who was standing behind him frowned and shouted: "Master Hou, I said, we should go."

At this moment, the eyes of a burly man in the crowd accidentally fell on Henry Zhang, his beard flicked and his eyes widened, he stepped forward and grabbed Henry Zhang by the collar, and roared angrily: "It's you! I was on the second floor just now, Everyone in the lobby saw that you killed Xiaoer here! You vicious thief, you set the inn on fire, didn't you?!"

The man in front of him with an ax pinned to his waist was one of the three people who sat at Qi Zhulin's table talking about it.

Hearing the man's roar, the people around immediately surrounded Henry Zhang. Everyone just now had indeed witnessed the scene where Xiao Er was ignited in Henry Zhang's hands. Cursing and questioning came one after another, and many people pulled out With the sword out, it seems that this matter really can't be good.

Henry Zhang stared at the man indifferently, and secretly pushed the blade out of the scabbard with the fingers held on his waist. He never liked to spend too much time talking with people.

At this time, Qi Zhu stepped forward suddenly, stretched out his hand to press back the blade that Henry Zhang pushed out, and at the same time stretched out his hand to comfort the man's hand that was pinching Henry Zhang's collar, and said sincerely: "This big brother, there is It’s easy to say, this is my guard, it’s absolutely impossible to be this murderer and arsonist, there must be some misunderstanding.”

The man was rude and reckless, he only thought that the man in front of him was an accomplice to the thief, seeing that Qi Zhu was not strong, he waved his hand and wanted to push him aside.

As soon as he tried hard, unexpectedly, Qi Zhu's hand pressed firmly on his wrist like a rock, without moving a muscle.

Seeing that Qi Zhu just put his hand lightly on his wrist, without any trace of force, but inexplicably vented all his strength, making him unable to move for a while.

The man's expression twisted for a moment: "You..."

In an instant, Qi Zhu let go of his hand, and patted the man's muscular shoulder instead.The man's figure shook for a while, and his expression was a little dazed, as if everything that happened just now was his illusion.

"Guest officers, I came from the capital. I was in the room just now. It was Xiaoer who was greedy for my money and became malicious. He wanted to harm me. My guards had no choice but to stop him." Everyone, "But Xiaoer's burning to death, or the arson of this inn has nothing to do with us, please believe what I say."

The guests around shouted: "Why do you believe me?! What evidence do you have?! Now the waiter and the proprietress are dead, two lives, can you explain clearly?!"

Henry Zhang stood behind Qi Zhu, looking at Qi Zhu's back with complicated eyes.

Qi Zhu walked to Xiao Yangyue's side and said in a low voice: "My lord, don't make too much publicity outside. How can these ordinary people be your opponents? If you make a move, they will even become angry after your crime is exposed. This arson incident , but it’s solid. That big brother didn’t mean it, so let him go.”

Henry Zhang sneered in a low voice: "He was still insulting me at the dinner table before, saying that I abandoned martial arts and took refuge in the imperial power, and I was not worthy to stand shoulder to shoulder with martial arts masters."

"..."

Qi Zhu was secretly surprised that Henry Zhang was actually quite a vengeful person, these petty tempers that ordinary people would have, in Henry Zhang, it was rare to add a bit of humanity to him.

At this time, a figure came out from the crowd, cupped his fists and said to everyone: "Everyone, please listen to me."

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and when they saw the person's appearance clearly, Qi Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly, and this person was actually the man with the severed finger among the three.

After the man came out, the indignant scolding gradually subsided.He looked at Qi Zhu and Xiao Yangyue, and said: "Liang believes that what these two said is true, and the arson of the inn has nothing to do with them."
