Chapter 769 A thousand thoughts and one mistake(2/2)
It's very strong. If there is a real situation, it won't be difficult for him. Don't forget, the secret letter that used the metaphor of 'table menu' in the morning was probably sent by Rong Zhen..."
Li Xian's worried and anxious look continued:
"Although Tanlang has a sword, Rong Zhen, Aunt Song and other people from Si Tianjian are already looking for him, pursuing his other identity. If he uses a sword, he will be exposed and put in danger."
Li Guo'er didn't know what he was thinking of, so he lowered his eyes, frowned, and sighed softly:
"This seems to be the truth. Once the sword is exposed, it will be even more troublesome. Rong Zhennvshi has always hated the owner of Dielianhua before. It is impossible to say that she will be ruined by him and she will hate him instead."
The usually calm little princess with plum blossom makeup also murmured with some worry: "There is indeed something bad. Women have a strong desire for revenge. The person who loves someone who cannot be loved will want to eat him alive..."
When everyone heard this, they were crying and running around in circles with increasing anxiety.
At this moment, Cai Shou, Uncle Sun and others from behind suddenly looked at Lu Ya.
Li Xian, Li Bao'er and Wei Mei, who were standing closer, also noticed something from the corner of their eyes and looked over one after another.
"What do you think of Pindao?"
Lu Ya looked around at everyone with a frown.
He saw everyone staring at him and gradually looking up at the ceiling above him.
"What's going on?"
Lu Ya looked up in confusion.
Check out the correct version one by one!
The next moment, he suddenly saw an extremely red light pillar appearing above his head, seemingly passing through the ice cave and rising into the sky!
His originally paralyzed face suddenly changed color.
When everything was silent, the sound of the piano came.
The inexplicable music made their eyes look horrified.
A very unpleasant mood gradually spread among everyone.
…
There was a fire in Xunyang Prince's Mansion today.
It became the focus of the entire Xingzifang, but no one from every household dared to check it out.
The news that the Tiannan Jianghu water thieves broke into the city from Xunyangdu has spread throughout the city since the morning. The common people or the rich in Xunyang all hid in their homes, closed their doors tightly, and prayed for reinforcements from the imperial court on the other side of Shuangfeng Peak.
.
However, some people speculate that these water thieves are heading for the giant Buddha at the top of the twin peaks.
Regarding the fire in Xunyang Prince's Mansion, the common people and passers-by who were watching from a distance were all silent. They found that water thieves were in and out, and no one dared to approach.
In the inner palace of the palace, the intensity of the green fire gradually decreased.
The exquisite and elegant inner house building in the past has been burned into ruins.
The number of water thieves who had gathered before was now reduced a lot.
As the leader of the water pirates, the one-eyed man was leading a group of brothers to carefully search for the embers of debris in the ruins.
There were originally about three hundred water thieves, who were divided into three groups:
The first group, one hundred and fifty people, took the main road to pursue the people in Kuanglu Mountain.
The second group, fifty people, took the path behind the palace and entered Kuanglu Mountain to pursue the people.
The third group, this one-eyed man, is leading the remaining 100 people to inspect the ruins.
As for the eleven qi masters in the hall before, they also had their own division of labor.
Five people were taken away in the first batch;
The second group of two people, including Cheng Tuozi;
The remaining four people, including the one-eyed man, are currently searching the ruins of the inner house.
However, as the search work came to an end, the one-eyed man frowned.
The ruins of the inner house are huge. After a brief search, there was not a single body left.
I don't know if this fire is weird and can burn people to ashes.
As for some secret rooms with secret passages, it is not impossible, but in a fire, unless such a secret room is completely sealed, it will be killed by the heat wave and thick smoke. However, if there is no exhaust vent and is directly completely sealed, there will be insufficient air and people will be killed.
It would be completely suffocating, unless there is some underground river, but this is unrealistic, Xunyang City does not have this kind of topography.
When Master Zhongma passed away in the Pure Land Palace of Donglin Temple, the lotus pagoda caught fire, and thick smoke and heat waves poured into the underground palace and killed him.
At this time, a fellow water thief suggested again:
"Head, I've searched again, but there's no body. It doesn't seem to be here. Do you want to continue searching carefully? Do you want to go to Kuanglu Mountain to chase people, or search other suspicious places in Xiushui Fang?"
The one-eyed man hesitated for a moment.
In fact, there was a doubt lingering in his mind.
When they occupied Xunyang Ferry, this group of disguised water thieves sent a small team in advance, equipped with two masters of mid-level Qi Refiners, as a vanguard to attack the palace in advance.
But now no body has been found, and no one knows where they have gone.
Since they didn't die in the fire, what happened after they arrived at the palace early?
Was he killed by the Qi Refiner of Prince Xunyang's Mansion?
However, if Prince Xunyang’s family and Xie’s daughter had fled in a carriage a quarter of an hour before the fire, then why were there still Wangfu’s Qigong practitioners left behind to kill them?
If they were not killed, why didn't they come to the outer house to gather?
Even if there was an emergency and they went after King Xunyang and his family, why didn't he leave someone to send a message?
All kinds of doubts made the one-eyed man who had always been calm become a little irritable.
After a while, he turned around and ordered:
"Pass my order, brothers, withdraw first..."
At this moment, someone from outside came to report:
"Boss, Lord Wu's people are here and they have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
While the one-eyed man was puzzled, a messenger wearing a white cloth strip came over and whispered a few words to him.
The one-eyed man looked puzzled at first, then gradually narrowed his eyes.
After a while, he slowly spoke:
"Master Wu is brilliant... Thank you for your hard work. You go back and tell Master Wu that in order to repay the prince for your great kindness, we will definitely catch Li Xian today. We will see him alive and his body after death. Otherwise, we will go back to see the prince."
Watching the messenger leave quickly, the one-eyed man raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
Just when the hundreds of water thieves among the ruins stopped moving, thinking that the leader was about to give a new order.
The one-eyed man closed his eyes and rested his mind, without giving any instructions.
It seems to be waiting for something.
The hours tick by.
Just when many water thieves were impatient and ready to rush.
"Zheng——"
There was an inexplicable sound coming from the piano.
Before anyone could react, conspicuous bright red light pillars shot up into the sky one after another among the ruins.
Everyone looked around and saw that these light pillars were emerging from the body of the middle-grade Qi practitioner among them.
A rough count shows that including the one-eyed man, there are one, two, three, four...five, a total of five paths.
etc.
Five ways?
They originally had eleven middle-grade water thieves, but after dividing their troops, didn't they only have four middle-grade water thieves left?
Why is there one more?
The water thieves in the audience looked confused. Following the one-eyed man whose eyes were getting colder, they all turned their attention to a rockery pond twenty meters away that was burned bare by the fire.
The rockery pool, which was originally inconspicuous among the ruins, now has a crimson light pillar rising into the sky.
