Chapter 27: Return to the Sea
Chapter 27: Return to the Sea with a Knife
Ye Xiu finally walked into Hengyang City.
Hengyang City at this time was more lively than usual, with people coming and going, and there were some small traders hawking along the streets.
At the same time, on the streets of Hengyang City, there were many more people in the martial arts world wearing swords and other weapons than usual. Most of these people came to Hengyang City because Liu Zhengfeng wanted to retire from the underworld. Even if they were not invited, some people would want to join in the fun or gain some experience.
Ye Xiu asked around and determined the location of Huiyan Tower, and then ran directly to Huiyan Tower.
The fight between Linghu Chong and Tian Boguang took place in this Huiyan Tower.
However, when Ye Xiu came to the second floor of Huiyan Tower, he found that there were quite a few guests in Huiyan Tower, but there was no little nun, nor Linghu Chong, let alone Tian Boguang.
Although many people carried swords, they did not look particularly outstanding. However, there was another person who stood out among the crowd, like a crane among chickens.
That man was very handsome. Although he was a little less handsome than Ye Xiu, he was still a handsome guy.
The man was wearing a black suit and had a stern face. He looked very cool. At the same time, his sword was placed horizontally on the table, and the handle was next to his hand, so that he could draw the sword at any time.
This was a swordsman, and a powerful one at that.
However, Ye Xiu felt a little strange. Such a special swordsman should not be a simple character, but he had never seen a description of his image in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. Could he be Tian Boguang?
Perhaps Ye Xiu's eyes caught the other person's attention. The man also looked at Ye Xiu coldly, with cold eyes and no emotional fluctuations.
Ye Xiu smiled at the other person and retracted his gaze.
Apart from this person, there was no one on the second floor who could attract Ye Xiu's attention.
What's more, there was no one who looked like a monk who loved wine and meat, nor a combination of granddaughter and grandfather on the second floor.
"It looks like they should have staggered." Ye Xiu thought to himself. Either he arrived in Hengyang City in advance, or he arrived a day late.
Just when Ye Xiu ordered two dishes and was about to eat, a series of footsteps came from the stairs. A man who was also handsome, but with a sense of chic and unrestrainedness, walked up.
After the man went upstairs, he glanced around, then smiled and walked directly towards Ye Xiu.
"Junior Brother Ye, what a coincidence!"
"Big Brother?" Ye Xiu didn't expect that he would meet Linghu Chong here. The most important thing was that Linghu Chong at this time did not look embarrassed at all, and did not look like he was injured at all.
"Waiter, first bring two kilograms of wine, and two more plates of side dishes." Linghu Chong shouted to the waiter with a smile, and then sat next to Ye Xiu.
"Brother Ye, you know how to enjoy yourself. After arriving in Hengyang City, you came directly to Huiyan Tower. I heard that Huiyan Tower is the best restaurant in Hengyang City." Linghu Chong laughed, not polite at all, and picked up a pair of chopsticks to eat.
"Well, I also asked around, and heard that Huiyan Tower has the best food and wine, so I came here." Ye Xiu nodded: "By the way, Senior Brother, did you encounter anything on the way here?"
"On the way here - speaking of it, it can be said that I encountered something!" Linghu Chong's expression was a little more serious: "I found Tian Boguang's body on the way."
"Tian Boguang's body?" Ye Xiu widened his eyes, looking stunned.
This plot is wrong! Tian Boguang is dead, who will tease Yi Lin? Is the relationship between Linghu Chong and Tian Boguang over like this?
"It's surprising. After all, Tian Boguang is not a simple character. But he still died. Do you know what the murder weapon that killed him was?" Linghu Chong asked mysteriously.
"What is it?" Ye Xiu followed Linghu Chong's words and asked. At the same time, Ye Xiu was also wondering how Tian Boguang died, and whether it had anything to do with him. After all, Tian Boguang died just like that, the plot was wrong!
"It was a needle, an embroidery needle!" Linghu Chong said, and couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know whose hidden weapon in this world is so powerful that an embroidery needle can kill Tian Boguang. You know, although Tian Boguang's martial arts are not as good as our master, his lightness skills are extraordinary, otherwise he wouldn't be known as Wanli Duxing."
After hearing that the weapon that killed Tian Boguang was an embroidery needle, Ye Xiu almost instinctively thought of a person-Dongfang Bubai.
After all, Dongfang Bubai practiced the Sunflower Manual, and the weapon he used was an embroidery needle.
But Dongfang Bubai killed Tian Boguang? Ye Xiu still didn't quite believe it, mainly because it was a bit absurd, inexplicable, why would Dongfang Bubai attack Tian Boguang?
And under normal circumstances, shouldn't Dongfang Bubai be staying in Heimu Cliff, embroidering there?
Unless this Dongfang Bubai is a woman. But even if it was the female version of Dongfang Bubai, she didn't seem to kill Tian Boguang?
Ye Xiu felt very strange and couldn't help guessing all kinds of possibilities in his mind. He couldn't help but wonder, wouldn't there be other time travelers in this Smiling Proud Wanderer?
While Ye Xiu was thinking hard, the wine and food that Linghu Chong wanted had been served, so Linghu Chong had already started drinking. Drinking with a satisfied look on his face, he looked like a drunkard.
"Junior Brother Ye, eat, why do you look absent-minded? What are you thinking about?" Linghu Chong gulped down a bottle of wine and almost finished it.
"I'm wondering who killed Tian Boguang, such a powerful man." Ye Xiu explained.
"I don't know either, but no matter who killed Tian Boguang, it was to get rid of harm for the people. It's normal for a rapist like Tian Boguang to be killed." Linghu Chong laughed and said indifferently.
"That's right, no matter who killed Tian Boguang, it was a good thing." Ye Xiu agreed, but Ye Xiu felt a little uneasy in his heart, because the plot became uncontrollable.
It was beyond his understanding, and Ye Xiu couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
At this time, the black-clothed swordsman came out for dinner and had left Huiyan Tower.
"Big Brother, that swordsman just now looked very powerful, who is he?" Ye Xiu asked Linghu Chong.
"I'm not sure, but from his appearance, clothes and even temperament, he looks like Gui Hai Yidao, the number one spy of Hulong Villa. I just don't know if it's true. But if it's Gui Hai Yidao, we shouldn't have anything to do with him. After all, Hulong Villa is also a member of the court, unlike the rest of us." Linghu Chong shook his head and said.
