Volume 1 The Tribulation of Yongliang Chapter 20 The Murderer
Elder Tang was good at drinking, and Li Yu prepared to bring him two pots of wine. However, only the inn on the short peak in Tianshan Mountain had wine sales, so the cable car had to stop halfway and a few people went to the inn to get wine.
The night was cold, the gate of the station was closed, and two lanterns were left swaying in the wind.
"Acai, warm me two pots of good plum wine, remember to make it three years old, pure wine." Bai Xi pushed open the gate of the inn and shouted loudly.
The waiter's name was originally called Acai.
When Acai saw Li Yu coming, he quickly put down his account pen and turned out to the counter, greeted him with a smile: "Your Highness the Prince is here, and the shop is suddenly full of glory!"
Li Yu smiled with satisfaction and said a little: "Reward."
Bai Xi took out a liang of silver and threw it to Acai, "Go to warm wine quickly. If you don't have it, we will pack it and take it away."
"Okay, please sit down and wait..." Acai suddenly found Yan Yunting standing behind Li Yu, and shouted: "Ah! You are really your friend of the prince!"
Yan Yunting took off the wine bag on his waist and threw it to Acai, and smiled and said, "Fill it."
"Sure, certain!" Acai stepped back.
The three of them found an empty table to sit down and waited for the wine to get better.
"So, have you been to this inn?" Li Yu asked.
"It's not just that I've been here, but I almost fought with the disciples of Sunset Peak here. Unfortunately, I was stopped by a man in black riding a crane. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let those hypocrites leave safely." Yan Yunting described it calmly.
Li Yu and Bai Xi frowned together, and Bai Xi asked, "Do you still remember his age and appearance in that man in black?"
Yan Yunting thought for a while and described: "As of thirty, he had a horse face, a pair of triangular eyes, and he looked like he was not allowed to enter a stranger."
Li Yu frowned even more, "You met Wu Xiao."
"It's really surprising that Wu Xiao didn't hit you," Bai Xi said, and said again: "The disciples of Sunset Peak are all virtuous. They are always arrogant and domineering, both internally and externally. Especially the eldest disciple Wu Xiao, many of the fellow disciples take a detour when they see him-"
"Is Mr. Wu really that annoying?"
As soon as Bai Xi finished speaking, a voice that looked like an ice cave came from outside the station, "Zhu!" The gate was pushed open, and a group of white-clothed swordsmen stood at the door, and the leader was Wu Xiao.
Bai Xi couldn't help but shivered, lowered her head and dared not look at the triangular eyes.
"Senior Brother Wu, please forgive me. Junior Brother Bai is unintentional," Li Yu stood up and revenged, and then called out: "Are you brothers here to have a meal? That's better. All the consumption of wine and food tonight will be included in my account."
"Thank you for your good wishes from the prince, but I'm not here tonight, but to... catch people!" Wu Xiao's snake-like eyes stared at Yan Yunting fiercely.
If it were someone else, he would have been trembling with fear, but Yan Yunting had never seen any storm before. He smiled at Wu Xiao and stared at him intently, sneering in his heart: The trouble is still coming...
Li Yu subconsciously protected Yan Yunting behind him, "Why didn't Senior Brother Wu say it clearly?"
Wu Xiao smiled coldly and said slowly: "Just four days ago, two disciples of my Sunset Peak, Ni Jian and Zhou Jicai went down the mountain to perform a mission. Unfortunately, they were killed in the border area and were burned to death... I originally thought they were persecuted by the evil spirits of Jiuyou, but after my investigation, I found that the fact was not the case. They were killed by others."
Speaking of this, he waved his hand, and a disciple behind him presented a yellow cloth and a wooden box. The yellow cloth was opened, revealing a broken sword full of gaps. When he opened the wooden box, it was a semicircular iron bullet.
Wu Xiao picked up the broken sword and said in the light: "From the gap in this broken sword, my junior brother had an armed battle with that person before he died. Although the swords of my disciples of Tianshan Sect cannot be guaranteed to be high-quality, they are also better than most weapons on the market; although Junior Brother Zhou is not very powerful, he is also of the lowest level of Xuan Realm. Those who can break the sword in his hands either have the power of Xuan Wu or have a magical weapon to accompany him."
After saying that, he put down the broken sword, picked up the bullets in the wooden box, stared at the musket on Yan Yunting's waist: "This bullet was found in Junior Brother Ni's chest, and it can be determined from the width of the bullet that the one loaded the bullet was a short gun;
The disciples of famous and upright sects disdained to use despicable weapons such as muskets. On the contrary, some people in the world use it as a hidden weapon for sneak attacks."
All the disciples of the Sunset Peak gathered on Yan Yunting's body. His sword, his gun, and his identity all matched the characteristics of the murderer.
"Some people attempt to burn corpses and destroy evidence after committing the crime. Unfortunately, the net of heaven is vast and unobstructed, but I found clues," Wu Xiao looked coldly and walked towards Yan Yunting step by step: "Boy, now the evidence is conclusive, do you admit it?"
"Senior Brother Wu, I think you must have misunderstood. Yan Yunting is my friend. I can make sure he did not kill anyone." Li Yu tried his best to protect Yan Yunting.
"Your Highness, being friends with such people is really not in line with your identity. I advise you to draw a clear line with him as soon as possible, so as not to ruin our relationship with each other." Wu Xiao said in a naked threat.
Li Yu wanted to speak again, Yan Yunting stood up, gave a thumbs up, pointed to Li Yu and Bai Xi behind him, and said, "First of all, I want to declare that I have only a business relationship with the two pretty young men behind me. I am going to Tianshan this time to ask them for debts. You said I killed someone, but I definitely don't recognize it."
Wu Xiao said coldly: "Which murderer would admit that he killed someone?"
"There are three reasons!" Yan Yunting explained one by one with three fingers: "First, you said that the murderer must at least be in the Xuan Realm to kill your junior brother, but I am just a prodigal son with less than the Xuan Realm of martial arts. He learns all kinds of fists and feet. Even if he has a good weapon, he is definitely not an opponent of your famous disciples, let alone I have to fight against two?
Second, you have said that people in the world use muskets as hidden weapons. There are so many outlaws in the northwest and thousands of muskets. Why do you just insist that the bullets were shot out of my gun?
Third, which murderer would be so stupid that he went to Tianshan to die?"
These three reasons are so full that it is impossible to refute. Wu Xiao could only blacken his face: "You are very smart and good at pretending to be stupid, but you still can't change the fact that you killed my junior brother."
"No, no, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone. If you don't accept it, go down the mountain to report to the official immediately?" Yan Yunting faced it with a smile.
"Senior brother, what are you talking about with this guy? Catch the Sunset Peak, tie him to the cliff, and let the eagle peck him for a few mouthfuls. He will explain it clearly!"
"Yes! If you are not convenient for me to do it, let's do it!"
The disciples of Sunset Peak are all ready to move.
"Bold! Are you lawless?" Li Yu jumped out and shouted. Don't be tall, he is usually gentle and elegant, and it won't work if he is fierce!
All the disciples were afraid of Li Yu's identity and did not dare to come forward rashly.
"Yan Yunting, let's go, let's see who dares to stop him!" Li Yu took Yan Yunting's hand, opened a path from the crowd, and walked out of the station.
Wu Xiao's face was extremely hard to see, and there was a burst of murderous intent in his eyes. He suddenly flashed behind Yan Yunting's back, raised his hand and slapped Yan Yunting's back-
"Puff!" Yan Yunting spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew seven or eight feet away with Li Yu!
Wu Xiao's palm is at least as powerful as the Nirvana Realm!
