Chapter 84: Madness
"Sir, everything has been checked out."
The moon is at its zenith.
There were several more Jinyiwei night patrol officers at the Yinlin Lake to deal with the corpses.
Lu Jiaming was in the ghost market . After hearing about the situation here, he spontaneously rushed over to work overtime to help Cao Jinxing find out the identities of these people.
"That Sixth Old Man... Sir, you were too cruel! I can't even fight anymore..."
Lu Jiaming wiped his sweat and said, "From his name, age and physical features, I can only guess that he should be the sixth disciple of Wushuang Sect's leader Xie Wei, 'Eight-Armed Divine Fist' Peng Hai, who defected from the sect a month ago."
"Eight-armed Divine Fist?"
Cao Jinxing smiled and said, "It's quite impressive."
"Your Excellency is more majestic!"
Lu Jiaming flattered him with a playful smile, saying, "The title is mostly just bragging. Real masters don't care about it."
Cao Jinxing hummed: "The two who died are..."
Speaking of this, Lu Jiaming was still terrified and said, "My uncle was even more ruthless! But fortunately the head is still there. It has been confirmed that they are Xie Wei's fifth and seventh disciples, who also betrayed the sect a month ago."
"They don't want to implicate their master?"
"Yes, but it's just for ."
Lu Jiaming said disdainfully: "The one who practiced the Undissolving Bones is the Changbai Mountain giant thief 'Green Corpse King' Liang Ming. The six hiding underwater are all his trusted followers! This man was once the current chief disciple of Wushuang Sect, but later he betrayed the sect because he changed to practice evil skills and became a local bandit. It has been almost ten years, and Wushuang Sect, from the sect leader to the disciples, has been shouting for war and killing in public, but behind the scenes, they are still the same as before. In fact, Wushuang Sect has been thriving in recent years, and this chief disciple's silver tribute is indispensable..."
Cao Jinxing was a little surprised: "Their master-disciple relationship is so good?"
Lu Jiaming said, "Your Excellency may not know that these four people, as well as Wu Yunfeng and Hua Liu, are all disciples of Sect Master Xie Wei. They have been raised by them since they were young. Of course, this relationship is special. However, I think that once my uncle takes action, they will definitely regret getting involved."
"of course."
Cao Jinxing said: "Even brothers may kill each other, let alone fellow apprentices. There are many who help, but few who would sacrifice their lives... Strange, Wu Yunfeng is the head of the Wu family, how could he become Xie Wei'er's apprentice?"
Lu Jiaming said: "This is the affair of the previous head of the Wu family. It's quite messy, and there's no need to delve into it. In short, Wu Yunfeng is the illegitimate son of the previous head of the family. He was able to survive and successfully take the position of head of the Wu family, all thanks to Xie Wei and Wushuang Clan! He values this friendship very much. Every March he goes to Liaodong to celebrate Xie Wei's birthday, and the gifts he prepares every time are very expensive. He is quite willing to spend money!"
Cao Jinxing: "Since he values it so much... then why didn't he participate in this operation? Is he really scared by Huang Huaijiang?"
Lu Jiaming thought for a moment and said, "Maybe."
"No."
Cao Jinxing shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. He left the Wu family a long time ago. Maybe he didn't escape early, but he had other important things to do... It seems that these people were united because of Hualiu's letter, but Hualiu forgot about writing the letter... Hiss, it's still not right!"
"What's wrong, sir? What's the problem?"
"The kidnapping happened more than a month ago. Hua Liu's request was urgent and secretive! Even if they rushed to the capital without stopping to assist Wu Yunfeng in his plan, after the failure, didn't they think of other ways? Huang Fangling is a very good doctor, but her martial arts skills are low, but she is not the only one. Even if other people's medical skills are not as good as hers, and the possibility of successfully curing the disease is not high, it won't hurt to give it a try..."
Lu Jiaming thought for a moment and said, "What you mean is... the missing Wu Yunfeng went to find someone to help him out? So, these people just followed their original plan and attacked my cousin, just in case?"
"Eighty percent likely."
Cao Jinxing nodded and said, "Anyway, if it were me, I would not provoke Huang Huaijiang again after he brought the Ghost Guards to destroy three generations of the Wu family. Unless, the other side is really not going well, Huang Fangling is already the last choice, and I have to take the risk..."
"grown ups!"
A lieutenant in brocade uniform suddenly shouted, "The lock of the mailbox has been opened!"
"good!"
Cao Jinxing showed joy and walked over quickly.
The Skyhawk mailbox is not empty.
This means that it was not hovering in the air all the time, but had just brought back a letter from somewhere else.
However, the mailbox is equipped with a mechanical lock, and using brute force to open it may destroy the letters inside.
The Green Corpse King Liang Ming was very stubborn. His meridians were all broken and his martial arts were completely useless. Perhaps he felt that his future was hopeless, so he refused to say a word.
Cao Jinxing had no other choice but to find someone who was good at opening mechanical locks to try.
There are many strange people in the ghost market, and many of them are proficient in mechanical arts. Lu Jiaming quickly found a master he knew.
"Master Li, how is it?"
Lu Jiaming walked quickly to the unlocked desk.
"Ah, it's done."
Master Li was an old man in his sixties, dressed in a gray robe. He stroked his beard and said complacently, "It's just an ordinary Nine Palace Lock. It's not difficult."
When the two arrived, they saw that the mechanism lock between the lid and the body of the mailbox had been opened, leaving only the buckle, which could be opened with a slight twist.
Lu Jiaming was delighted and reached out to take it.
"Be careful."
Cao Jinxing reminded.
"Don't worry, sir. This letter is definitely from Wu Yunfeng. I'm sure everything will be fine!"
Lu Jiaming is very confident.
"Sky Eagle" is a rare beast in Changbai Mountain. It has an aloof and arrogant temperament. Even if the person who can ask it to run errands is not the owner, he must be someone very close to the owner.
Furthermore, the matter must be very urgent for the Green Corpse King Liang Ming to send out the Sky Eagle as a carrier pigeon.
The most urgent thing now is to rob and rescue people. The only people involved in this matter are Wu Yunfeng and Hua Liu.
Hualiu has forgotten the letter.
leftover.
Who else could it be besides Wu Yunfeng?
Could it be possible that Wu Yunfeng could kill his fellow disciples?
Lu Jiaming twisted it confidently.
"hiss!"
Suddenly, there was a sharp hissing sound, and a slender black snake shot out from the mailbox and bit Lu Jiaming's neck!
"careful!"
Everyone was shocked!
It was so fast that Lu Jiaming had no time to react. In the blink of an eye, the snake was less than three inches away from his neck! He could even see the snake's fangs and smell the stench from its mouth!
Lu Jiaming's heart was pounding!
Hissing!
A loud bang!
A bright white knife flashed, and the black snake was cut into two pieces!
"Retreat quickly!"
Cao Jinxing quickly reached out and grabbed Lu Jiaming's shoulder and stepped back. With his other hand, he raised his knife and slashed it. Two more flashes of knife light broke the black snake into six pieces and it became motionless...
Lu Jiaming was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat!
The confident smile on his face twisted.
"How could this happen?! Wasn't it sent by Wu Yunfeng? Why would Tianying send it?"
Lu Jiaming's head was full of question marks.
Is there something wrong with my inference?
impossible!
Could a beast like the Sky Eagle betray me? If it had betrayed me, why did I bother to save it?
Lu Jiaming simply doubted his life!
Cao Jinxing walked a few steps closer carefully and moved the letter tube with the tip of the knife. In addition to the snake, there was actually a letter inside.
He unfolded it and saw that it was written by Wu Yunfeng!
The content of the letter was exactly what Cao Jinxing had expected.
He has captured the third disciple who is "better than Hua Tuo", the "Scholar with Holy Hands", the little boy "Prodigy of Xinglin" who is "enemy of the King of Hell", and two other children of miracle doctors, and went to the Wanma Gang to treat Hualiu.
Hualiu behaved very normally. He had completely forgotten that he had written the letter. The famous doctors were unable to diagnose the cause of his illness.
but.
After all, they were fellow apprentices who had lived together for many years, and Wu Yunfeng discovered the abnormality in Hualiu's normal behavior.
——Every night at midnight, he would lock himself in the room. Once when passing by, Wu Yunfeng heard the hissing of a snake!
[Big Brother, Third Junior Brother is in danger, bring Huang Fangling to the Wanma Gang immediately! Perhaps only she can cure his illness! ]
Wu Yunfeng's words were so sincere that one could feel their feelings even through the paper.
If he hadn't put an extra snake...
"These people are sick!"
Lu Jiaming couldn't stand it anymore and roared, "Why are you all like crazy, saying one thing and doing another!"
"Maybe he really is crazy!"
After Cao Jinxing finished reading the letter, he turned his gaze to the black snake: "Hurry up and call your cousin over. Maybe she will recognize what this thing is..."
