Sir, this sword is a keepsake

Chapter 12

Yuzhou, Nanhuai City.

A shambling figure blended into the bustling crowd who were rushing into the city to catch the morning market.After entering the city, the shadow left the main road in the middle of the street and walked into the side alley.

This person's sneakiness quickly attracted the attention of a man who was eating breakfast at the intersection.

The badge on the man's waist was shining brightly in the sunlight, with the words "Catch fast" engraved on it.He drank the hot porridge in one gulp, stood up, and turned into the back alley.

This arrester surnamed Zhang has been on duty overnight. It stands to reason that he should inform his colleagues about the matter at this time and go home to rest. Also boring.

If a person's body is busy, there is no room left to think about it. He is a big man and a martial artist, so he will not feel self-pity later.

Thinking like this, he has already turned two corners and got into the depths of the back alley.

The person in front of him was panting loudly, and his footsteps were also extremely heavy. The combination of these light and heavy steps all suggested that something was wrong with that person.

However, Detective Zhang judged the figure's whereabouts neither by the sound of panting nor by the sound of footsteps, but by the series of mud spots left by the person as he walked by.

There was a torrential rain last night, it seems that the man did not find a place to hide from the rain outside the city, and survived the night with difficulty.

This may explain why the man was panting so loudly: perhaps he had a severe cold.

Zhang Kuai was making judgments in his mind, when he heard a violent and unstoppable cough coming from the front, one after another, long and short, very frightening, as if tearing his throat and abdominal cavity.

He couldn't help thinking: This is not a serious illness. Could it be that he went to the city early in the morning just to see a doctor?But why is it so sneaky and invisible?

As soon as he changed his mind, he worried that this person might have a contagious disease.

There was a pause in the footsteps, and suddenly there was a creaking sound from the front, and a door opened.

The light and heavy footsteps stopped, obviously waiting.

"Fang Di?" An old man's voice.

The answer was barely audible, and it seemed that the man had lost the strength to speak.

"come in."

The sound of footsteps sounded again, and within a short distance, the man's footsteps were sluggish, already more strenuous than before, as if he was about to fall to the ground in the next second.

Inspector Zhang listened intently until the sound of the man's footsteps disappeared in the courtyard, then he poked his head forward and looked at the back door of the courtyard in front of him, making sure that he followed correctly.

Right now, the man seemed to be within the courtyard wall on his right.

He recognized this courtyard, but he didn't expect that the old gentleman of "Jianyan Shutang" turned out to be a hidden expert-he didn't leave a sound when he came and went.

It seems that the sick man defected to this old man?

Although Detective Zhang Kuai is skilled, most of the contacts he has come in contact with are thieves, and he is occasionally fascinated by the world of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Right now, he guesses that the man named Fang Di came here to seek refuge.

etc?Fang Di?

He suddenly felt that the name sounded familiar.

Fang... Isn't the Gushan Sword Court a few miles away from the Fang family?

However, he changed his mind and laughed at himself and said: "Gushan Jianting is a famous person in Yuzhou, who can make the Jianting disciples fall so low?" He backed away quietly, wondering if the old man would hear his footsteps.

"Mr. Huang."

A young man's voice suddenly sounded from behind the wall, interrupting Zhang Kuai's thoughts, and his heart beat fast. .

Strange, this early in the morning, there is another person in the study hall?And why would he call that old gentleman for no reason?

"You, you are not him..."

Before the old man finished speaking, suddenly, there was a piercing sound of rubbing behind the wall on the right side of Captain Zhang, as if a sharp weapon was being heavily pressed against the wall and dragged past.

Immediately afterwards, like a wine vessel leaking, tick-tick, tick-tock sound continued.

Detective Zhang was startled suddenly, knowing that the palm-wide thin wall suddenly changed.

"Can you let him go..." The old man's lifeless voice came from behind the wall.

Zhang Zhang said quickly: "Not good!"The young man who spoke just now must be hiding here, trying to murder the sick man!

He quickly pulled out the saber from his waist, rushed towards the wooden door, raised his leg and was about to break in, when the old man shouted, "Stupid, don't come in!"

For some reason, his body stiffened and his legs lost strength.

Inspector Zhang had no choice but to shout loudly: "Mr. Huang, let me in! Don't let this murderer hurt anyone again!"

"square……"

The old man's words were interrupted by a series of laughter, Zhang Butou only heard an extremely slight sound of broken bones, and his heart sank.

The door opened with a bang, and his body was able to move, so he rushed in without thinking. He saw the old gentleman's body slumped against the wall, and the sick man stood facing the body with his head bowed, but there was no third person.

Catcher Zhang hurriedly asked, "Where's that person?" He looked sideways to the back of the door and then to the back room, but there was no one there.

I saw the young man who was still sick just now turned around slowly, his handsome face was sullen, and he pretended to be surprised and said: "You have followed me all the way for so long."

Inspector Zhang quickly felt his heart skip a beat, knowing that this person already knew that he was following him.

The young man glanced down, saw the badge on his waist, and frowned, "So he's a catcher. It seems that it's not a good thing to be too conscientious as a catcher."

He sighed, "However, according to the rules, I can't kill you."

Detective Zhang didn't know why, he only said that this man, like other thieves, would not dare to kill officials randomly.He gripped the handle of the knife tightly, and raised the knife above his head, as if this would reduce his fear.However, he couldn't turn a blind eye to the thick and beautiful bloodstain on the wall behind the corpse.

He used a knife, even if it was the most low-level knife technique that could only cut horizontally and vertically, he could recognize that Mr. Huang died under the edge of the knife.

The knife mark was hidden in the bloodstains, like a slender eye, staring at him firmly, an overwhelming sense of powerlessness in the face of an opponent much stronger than himself at this moment firmly gripping his heart .

For the first time, he regretted why he didn't go home obediently and stayed on that cold, hard bed.But if this is the case, then those who come here will be other brothers... Except for me, they all have wives and children...

No, he still made the right decision.

"Look at the fear in your eyes...I don't think I've been back here for ten years, but this place has become very peaceful." The abrupt words of the young man made Inspector Zhang stop thinking about it.

"You... who are you?"

"I'm a man who will take revenge."

After speaking, the knife flashed, and in an instant, Yazi cut off the catcher's tongue and fingers.

"You can continue to use the knife, I'm showing mercy." Yazi said coldly, but Zhang quickly couldn't respond anymore.

Amidst his whimpering, Ya Zifu stumbled into the back alley where he came.

Fang Di is false, but the typhoid fever in the rain is true.Last night, he got so drunk in the restaurants along the way that he passed out under the fence of the farmers and let the cold rain pour on his body.

He hasn't drunk for a long time, maybe he hasn't been in such a mess for a long time.I thought that this morning's plan would be somewhat affected, but unexpectedly, it went smoothly.

After dealing with the old man of the Fang family and the nosy head-hunter, Yazi waited in the city for three days and three nights. He didn't wait for the young man named Fang Di to enter the city, but he waited for Xiaofeng to spread the information to all the places according to the usual practice. Letters from the scouts.

"Jinghong sword descends the mountain with the sword manual, Beihuang does not move Cangzhou, and the snake head enters Xuanzhou."

He frowned when he read that Snake Head hid in Xuanzhou.I don't know who among the twelve scouts is responsible for monitoring and blocking the people in the Snake Marsh.He felt bad for that brother from the bottom of his heart.

"Why didn't you go?" Yazi wanted to ask Xiaofeng like this.He tilted his head, only to find that the gray pigeon that carried the message hadn't left.

Why, could it be that the two letters are all for yourself?

Yazi took down the second volume of letters and opened it to read. Sure enough, it was different from the previous ones. It turned out to be a personal letter from Xiaofeng to him.

"Was the wild snow sword your hand?"

Jai Zi raised his eyebrows, what kind of tone is this, asking?Inquiry?Suspect?No matter what the tone is, why should he report to Xiaofeng when he does things.

……

Qingzhou, Yongxia Villa.

"Master, the body of the elder brother..."

"Don't worry, it's the wild snow sword that's broken."

The terrified young disciple was only slightly startled when he saw Master Shen Yucheng's expression, but in his words, he seemed to have expected this for a long time, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.Just now he routinely inspected the body of senior brother Li Wuhen, but he saw that the ground was dripping wet, and the thin ice that hadn't melted for many days had completely melted overnight.

Without these ices, the corpses naturally began to rot.

"Let's be buried today."

"Yes."

Shen Yucheng paused, then stopped the disciple again, "Go and call your senior sister Lu, tell her about this matter, and let her arrange it. Oh yes, call your second senior brother here first."

Shen Fang destroyed the fierce sword Huangxue. On the one hand, it showed that Huangxue's rage could no longer be suppressed; Expected to be stolen.

The reason why he was slightly surprised just now was because he didn't expect that it was only a day and a night before Shen came down the mountain, those people could not hold back anymore and started to attack the sword manual.This can only show that there are still masters blocking in front of them. These people know that they are invincible in martial arts, so they can only strike first!

Qing Mi's voice sounded.

"Master, the sword manual was taken by those bodyguards?"

"Well, you will spread the news immediately."

"Yes," Qing Ai didn't leave, and said with a worried expression, "Master, did the man named Xiaofeng in Shenwu Pavilion reply?"

He was asking about the letter Shen Yucheng wrote to Xiaofeng about Li Wuhen's death a few days ago.

Although some people claimed to have seen Li Wuhen clash with the people from Shenwu Pavilion, Shen Yucheng still didn't understand what good it would be for that person to kill Li Wuhen.

Sword manual...Shenwu Pavilion...revenge...

There was indeed a part of it that he didn't understand.

"Does the master know that the younger brother is going to avenge the elder brother?" Qing Ai asked the doubts that had made him extremely uneasy these days.

"I know."

Qing Ai paused, puzzled, but said firmly: "Then, did Master let him go to die?"

He has always been gentle, saying such words, but facing Shen Yucheng, was already extremely offensive and abrupt.

Shen Yucheng was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Jing Hongjian is going, I will not stop."

Qing Ai still wanted to say something, but saw the young disciple who went to look for him earlier appeared outside the door with a panicked expression.

"What's the matter? Didn't I tell you to go find Lu Ying?" Shen Yucheng asked.

"Senior Sister Lu is empty in the courtyard. I found this letter she left behind. She said that she went down the mountain to chase after Third Senior Brother..."
