Xiao Jinyan returned to the inn with a embarrassed look on his face. Seeing a plate of donkey meat on the table and a few firewood, Baolu was sitting there and eating happily, and his heart was filled with a cold.

"Brother Donkey, you died so miserably! If I had known you would end up today, I would have sold you to Lao Liu, who made donkey gelatin in the village last year!"

The cry of Mr. Lu came from outside the door.

Baolu Road: "Miss Red Fish just bought it for me, come and eat it while it's hot!"

Xiao Jinyan took a quick step and came to the table. Just as he was about to reach out, Xiao Hongyu opened his hand with chopsticks and said angrily, "Did I say you have eaten?"

Xiao Jinyan looked at her in amazement, "What's wrong with you?"

Little Red Fish said that every stubborn body was wrong, just not for you to eat. As he said that, he picked up the donkey meat plate and walked upstairs. Monk Baolu shouted from behind, "Miss Red Fish, I haven't finished it yet."

"It's gone!"

Baolu looked at Xiao Jinyan with a complaining look on his face and muttered, "Why are you doing so early when you come back? I can't even eat enough."

Qingcao said, "Brother Xiao, Sister Hongyu bought donkey meat for Master. I want to ask him, why are you doing this during this period?" Xiao Jinyan said, "There will be a donkey meat to eat, come and ask me."

Li Qingcheng asked with a smile, "What's wrong with Li Ergou?"

Xiao Jinyan said angrily, "There are so many troubles in front of the widow's door. I'm too lazy to care about your Li family's affairs." Li Qingcheng shook his head and corrected, "Our Li family in Jinling has no connection with Li Qiuyi, Li Ergou, and Widow Li."

"Is there any difference? They were all one family five hundred years ago."

“Not eight hundred years ago.”

Xiao Jinyan didn't eat the meat, so he picked up a rice ball, dealt with it in three or five times, and asked Baolu: "Monkey, you're so bored in the city, why don't you take you to a place to have some excitement at night?"

Monk Baolu said in an inward voice, "Master said, don't let me go to Fireworks Alley, I will learn bad things from you."

Xiao Jinyan said angrily, "I want to take you to the mass grave. There are no girls, but dead bodies."

"I don't even look at girls, I'll go with you to see the dead body?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Ten kilograms of beef."

Baolu picked up his Zen Staff, "What are you waiting for? Go now."

Xiao Jinyan said, "There is no show now. We will act after dark."

That afternoon, Xiao Jinyan went to Six Gate, told Su Zhengyuan a clue, and told him that he might have to wait for the rabbit in the mass grave to find a way to catch the murderer. Su Zhengyuan was worried about this matter, "That's good, I will dispatch people immediately to lay a net around the mass grave, catch the murderer as soon as possible, and give an explanation to the people of Suzhou as soon as possible."

Xiao Jinyan said: "Mr. Su, this is a matter in the world. Your people will die in vain if they go. I can help you catch people, but it seems that you didn't do what you told you last time."

"Didn't you forget this after getting busy? Don't worry, I will definitely help you."

Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "Don't worry about this. How many days will be left for the Golden Knife and the Crazy Knife Competition? I heard that your six doors are set in Taihu Lake?"

Su Zhengyuan said, "How dare we decide? It was sent by King Jindao to send someone to send a letter. You also know that these two are all laity masters. If you really start a fight in the city, ten Suzhou cities will not be able to withstand it. King Jindao understands our Suzhou people and sets the competition outside the city. However, this is a major event that caused a sensation in the martial arts world. I am afraid that there will be many people going to watch the battle at that time, and countless people will join in the fun. The governor has issued a death order. On the ninth day of the ninth month, on the shore of Taihu Lake, three miles away, no idle people are allowed to approach."

Xiao Jinyan sneered, "Taihu Lake is getting bigger, can you take care of it?"

Su Zhengyuan smiled bitterly, "I dare not refuse to obey the orders on the top of the mountain. It is one thing to do or not, but I still have an attitude. What's more, the two cases in Suzhou City have caused a lot of storms in the past two days. The imperial court sent an imperial envoy here. I have been twelve hours this day, and I wish I could break it into twenty-four hours."

Xiao Jinyan saw Su Zhengyuan's tired look on his face. It seemed that he had been struggling for a while. He was estimated to have lost about ten pounds than two months ago. This battle between Li and Chu will inevitably cause a sensation in the world. Ordinary people may be afraid of the orders of the government, but the people in the world will definitely not take them seriously. Among them, there are many people from Western Chu and Northern Zhou.

This is a grand event in the world and an extremely dangerous thing.

It was understandable that Li Chu's battle received such high attention. Both of them were masters of the Heavenly List and were famous in the world. How could they be famous in the future when they found a mountain valley to fight?

However, after the trip to Yangzhou, Xiao Jinyan felt that this battle was a bit strange, because some things happened too coincidental, which made him suspicious.

The envoy on the Ming Dynasty hurriedly left the capital. In order to find the whereabouts of Chu Bieli, the second prince of the former Western Chu, went to the south of the Yangtze River overnight, but was killed by several ordinary green forest thieves.

Dengwenyuan sent Vancouver to secretly search for Yuwen Tianlu's collusion with Western Chu, but was plotted against him and lost his life. Xiao Jinyan went to Yangzhou on his behalf and easily got a letter from Yuwen Tianlu to the enemy.

After being silent for several years, news of clues about the Wu Jing came out. What's even more terrible is that many people in the martial arts world now believe that Xiao Jinyan knows the whereabouts of the Wu Jing, which almost made him the target of public criticism.

He vaguely felt that there seemed to be a force behind him, secretly manipulating the overall situation and pushing the whole thing to develop in one direction. Although the contradictions were concentrated in Suzhou, all the clues involved the situation between the Ming and Chu countries in the western border.

The spies of Western Chu and business travelers gradually mingled into Suzhou City. Today, although the Western Chu Emperor Chu Qiu sat on the cold throne, his concept of reign over the past twenty years has gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of the former Western Chu nobles.

Several lords in the west of Chu believed that the Ming Dynasty had seized a large amount of profits from Chu during the border trade, and were determined to restore the ambition of the Dahe clan cavalry to strait the Central Plains a hundred years ago. The war was tense back then, and if the emperor had not died suddenly and the second prince disappeared, the imperial flag of the Great Chu would have been inserted on the head of the Forbidden City.

At this stop, they heard that Chu Bieli, the former second prince of Western Chu, was locked in the Six Gate Prison by the Ming Dynasty. Those Western Chu nobles who were suppressed from the lineage began to move.

Xiao Jinyan had a doubt, but he could not be sure of it. He needed to use external forces to help confirm this idea. Although Su Zhengyuan's character is not very good, he is still a small force in Suzhou City.

"On the ninth day of the ninth month, I want to borrow ten people from you."

Su Zhengyuan was stunned, "I don't have enough staff here. Let's not talk about the small case of speculating and dog-hitting. Just the murder case in Suzhou City these few days, I'm already short of my place. How can I free up people to give you?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Don't worry, before the decisive battle, I will help you catch the murderer who killed Li Laosan and Ling Tiannan's family."

Su Zhengyuan said: "I'll consider it."

When he returned to Xiaoyao Inn, Li Qingcheng had already changed into a set of night clothes. Monk Baolu had gotten a peach wood sword and several yellow paper talismans from somewhere, and was fiddling with them.

Xiao Jinyan said angrily, "Why are you a monk who doesn't recite the Diamond Sutra? Why are you doing some Taoist magic tools?"

Baolu wondered, "Didn't it mean to catch ghosts? We Buddhist disciples are more capable of saving the dead. If you catch ghosts, you should use Taoist things to make it more reliable. Besides, I can't recite the Diamond Sutra so long, and I can't recite it. Just as the law is urgent, everything will be solved."

"You'll save trouble."
