"But now there is no news about Du Shengyang. If we go directly to Luzhou, maybe he has quietly returned to the Yuanyang Sect."Wu Jinghua suggested

"It is possible that Qingjiu is injured right now, and I am afraid he still cannot move. Can you wait until Qingjiu recovers? When the time comes, please Wu Yang send Qingjiu back to Tianzong, and I will follow you to Yuanyang Sect to check it out."

"Brother Mulin, you may have to think about this matter again. However, Qingjiu's injury does require some time to rest, so we'll stay here for the time being. If I can help Brother Mulin eliminate all the poisons by then, then you can think about how to make Qingjiu obedient and return to Tianzong."

"...good"

"Impossible, how could Qingjiu obediently return to Tianzong at this time?"Listening to the two people's nonsense, Wu Jinghua couldn't help but comment on it.

"I will think of a way, but if it doesn’t work, I’ll get him some tranquilizer to drink, and then we’ll separate in the middle, so he doesn’t suspect anything."

"......"

If they hadn't seen Xu Mulin say these words with their own ears, Wu Jinghua and Li Jihua would not have believed that these words would have come from Xu Mulin's mouth. But if you think about it carefully, Xu Mulin would definitely not give up when Xu Qingjiu was seriously injured by the mysterious man. If he took Xu Qingjiu with him on this trip, and if something went wrong again, Xu Mulin would probably do something more exciting than these words. Crazy things are coming.

Because they were injured, the group rested in Jiangling Mansion for many days. Since the blizzard that day, the weather had become warmer day by day, and Xu Qingjiu's injuries recovered faster. Seeing that Xu Qingjiu had almost recovered from his injuries, the four of them continued their previous journey. After some time, the group finally arrived at the boundary of Wuzhou and continued walking, heading west to Luzhou and east to Meizhou. Xu Mulin walked all the way. I was wondering if there was any other way to ease things up other than directly taking Xu Qingjiu back to Tianzong. Just the night before a few people were about to enter Luzhou, a good opportunity finally appeared.

"I still feel that this matter is not only related to Du Shengyang. That day when I fought against that man, I could not figure out his skills except Guxiazhuang swordsmanship. Although I had not fought against Du Shengyang himself, I felt that the man was not him. Besides, what was Du Shengyang’s motive for taking his senior brother away?"

Everything is only related to Xie Chi and Du Shengyang. Xu Mulin has hinted at this with Xu Qingjiu for a long time, but Xu Qingjiu still has his own opinions and doesn't agree with Xu Mulin's statement very much. Li Jihua looked at Xu Mulin's He tried again and failed. He didn't know what to say, so he could only stay silent and wanted to see how Xu Mulin could talk to himself.

"Ji Hua and I had already determined before that part of the moves used by that man were the Guxiazhuang swordsmanship. Now what Du Shengyang and Xie Chi did is well known. It is reasonable for Du Shengyang to use Guxiazhuang's swordsmanship. The reason why he attacked us may be because he knew that we helped Qiu Ji and the others in Longyin Village before, and now he just wants revenge."

"But if we analyze it more carefully, Du Shengyang used to be extremely secretive in his actions. It was only after the incident at Guxiazhuang that some traces of his whereabouts were revealed. How come he is now so aggressive that he directly starts killing people without any consideration? Isn’t that too strange? And if it is to retaliate against us, but he can't protect himself now, will he do these things at this time?"

"Maybe that's why. Du Shengyang had controlled Xie Chi for many years, and Xie Chi was a knife in his hand. He must have done many things for him over the years, but this knife suddenly hurt him in turn. Du Shengyang may have known before that Xie Chi was gradually out of control, so he had to do the things in Guxia Village himself. And now that Xie Chi is dead, there is actually no one who knows all the truth, except for you, me and Qiu Ji, so he is most likely desperate to get rid of everyone who probably knows the truth. When the time comes, he He can stand up and argue that Xie Chi slandered him. You see, when the Guxiazhuang incident happened, so many people stood on his side. Maybe this matter can be settled in this way in the end, vaguely."

Xu Mulin saw Xu Qingjiu lowering his head and thinking, thinking that he could finally deceive him this time.

"...It still seems inappropriate. Since we can connect everything with Du Shengyang so easily, it is impossible for Du Shengyang not to think that we can calculate these things. In that case, why would he bother to hide his figure so carefully?"

"This may not be difficult to think about. You know this well, but others may not think of it. If he is accidentally discovered by others while taking action, wouldn't everything he did be in vain? As long as he kills the people who know the truth, his goal will be achieved. This is the key. Seeing that Xu Mulin had to rush to take action after explaining too much, Li Jihua had no choice but to help finish it off,"Wouldn't this also explain why he evacuated in a hurry as soon as Jing Hua and I arrived? Because I He has nothing to do with Jinghua"

"But Jihua, weren't you being hunted by Du Shengyang's people before? To him, you are not an irrelevant person, right?"

"I really don't count, but in fact it was only after the Longyin Village incident that I confirmed that Du Shengyang had been chasing me. Besides, speaking of this, doesn't it further prove that that person is Du Shengyang? If he fails to kill us all, his identity will inevitably be exposed. Doesn't that directly prove that he is the person related to my family's affairs? In general, what he needs to do most urgently is to draw a clear line between everything that happened before and himself, but not to distract from it."

Looking at Xu Qingjiu's look, Li Jihua was not sure whether he was really convinced, but he was sure that he was confused.

"Are you all here?"Li Jihua and Xu Mulin were still looking at Xu Qingjiu's expression with their heads down and drinking. Wu Jinghua suddenly opened the door and walked in swaggering,"What are you talking about again?"

Wu Jinghua's eyes swept over the three of them, but no one paid attention to him. Wu Jinghua had no choice but to sit down and pour himself tea slowly while saying:"I just vaguely heard a few words you said, and you also mentioned Du Shengyang. ?"Wu Jinghua looked up at the three of them and smiled,"I just got some news about him....Do you want to hear it?"

Li Jihua didn't say anything, thinking that Wu Jinghua couldn't hold things in, and he would definitely say it after a while. But after waiting for a long time, Wu Jinghua just drank cup after cup of tea without saying a word. Li Jihua had to reach out and pull Wu Jinghua out again. Seize the lifted teapot

"What is Ah Yue doing? You guys are leisurely here, while I am running around outside alone to find out the news, but you don't even want to hear what news I bring back, and you don't even let me take a sip of water."As he said this, Wu Jinghua sighed aggrievedly, but when he turned around and saw Li Jihua's impatient expression, Wu Jinghua had no choice but to relent,"For the sake of my hard work, don't get angry with me."

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you don’t want to say it, go out by yourself. If you keep yelling nonsense, believe me or not...."

"A...Ji Hua spoke so gently and kindly to them just now, why am I acting like this?

Seeing the three of them getting up to leave, Wu Jinghua had no choice but to surrender,"Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore." Du Shengyang is dead."

Looking at Xu Mulin's suspicious eyes, Wu Jinghua had no choice but to continue:"Damn it, I got the news two days ago, but it was too sudden, so I asked Wu Yang to confirm it in person. Wu Yang just came back and said it was It has been seen that the Yuanyang sect is busy taking care of funeral affairs."

Listening to Wu Jinghua's speech, Xu Qingjiu couldn't help but wonder,"Dead is dead. What does it mean to be truly dead?"

It's not that Xu Mulin didn't believe the news of Du Shengyang's sudden death, but he didn't understand why Wu Jinghua suddenly mentioned it at this time. He thought Wu Jinghua was helping him persuade Xu Qingjiu, so he couldn't resist leaking out more. Surprised, Wu Jinghua caught him saying something with unclear meaning again.

"This was too sudden. How did he die? What abnormalities can be found?"Xu Qingjiu couldn't accept what he said, so Li Jihua had no choice but to respond to Xu Qingjiu's question with the same question.

"It was rumored that there was an accident while practicing martial arts. When Wu Yang passed by, the person was already entombed and could not get close to check. After Wu Jinghua finished answering, everyone fell into silence. Wu Jinghua had to ask himself:"Then, what happens next?" Continue to Luzhou?

The three of them continued to be silent. Xu Mulin seemed to suddenly remember something and asked hurriedly:"Jihua still wants to check on Du Ling's situation. He should still go to Luzhou, right?""

"...yes. Du Shengyang's matter is over, but Du Ling's matter may have just begun."Li Jihua, who was suddenly mentioned, was stunned for a moment before he understood what Xu Mulin meant, and he continued naturally.

"indeedBut just because Du Shengyang died, this matter cannot be regarded as completely over. I still want to personally confirm that the man was also injured by Qingjiu that day. If Du Shengyang had the same injury, that would be able to fully prove it."The two cooperated very well. Xu Qingjiu felt that Xu Mulin's words were very reasonable, and Xu Qingjiu's approval was indeed reflected in Xu Mulin's eyes,"In that case, I will go with you."Hearing this, Xu Qingjiu finally had some doubts. Xu Mulin ignored Xu Qingjiu's doubts for the time being, and turned to Wu Jinghua and continued to say:"Jinghua, can you ask Wu Yang to accompany Qingjiu back to Tianzong?"

"Why do I want to go back to Tianzong?"

"OK, I'll go find him."With that said, Wu Jinghua stood up, looked at Li Jihua again and said,"Jihua, come with me."

Li Jihua was naturally willing to flee the scene. Although he was still angry with Wu Jinghua, he still stood up and nodded to Xu Mulin before following Wu Jinghua out. He did not forget to close the door after leaving.

"Why did senior brother ask Wu Yang to send me back to Tianzong? If you want to go to Luzhou, I will go with you."Seeing Wu Jinghua sneaking away with Li Jihua, leaving herself and Xu Mulin alone, Xu Qingjiu felt more and more that the three of them might have communicated something secretly that they didn't know,"If Du Shengyang is not dead, senior brother, you are. Don’t you also plan to go to Luzhou alone to seek revenge?"

"yes."Xu Mulin knew that although Xu Qingjiu seemed to be just having doubts, he was probably convinced in his heart, so he didn't make any excuses,"You were seriously injured like that. There must be an explanation for this matter. Even if Du Shengyang is dead, I still can't. You have to go there in person to confirm whether he is really dead."

Listening to Xu Mulin being so reasonable and confident, Xu Qingjiu didn't even know what to say.

"Although I now speculate that this matter must be related to Du Shengyang, I do not rule out your guess that maybe there is someone else after Du Shengyang. So I also want to confirm your guess on this trip. If the person who hurt you is really not Du Shengyang, when I return to Tianzong, we will analyze this matter in detail. I must settle the matter with the person who hurt you. If it is indeed Du Shengyang, then this matter will only Can I give up on this?"

"I understand what senior brother means, but why doesn't senior brother want me to go to Luzhou with you?"

"...Although Jihua has checked your injury in recent days and said that it is no longer serious, I still think that you need to calm down and recuperate. Although I still find it a bit unbelievable, Wu Yang has personally confirmed that Du Shengyang's death is basically a certainty. Now I want to go to Luzhou with Jihua and the others. Actually, I just want to give myself peace of mind. But if it is as you speculated, no matter what the situation I confirm is, I promise to go back to Tianzong first to inform you of everything, so you don’t have to worry about the dangers of my trip. You can let Wu Yang will send you back to Tianzong, continue to recover peacefully, and then wait for me to return, okay?"

Although Xu Qingjiu did not see Xu Mulin's panic when he saw that he was injured, Xu Qingjiu heard Xu Mulin's almost desperate cry before he completely lost consciousness, and what he saw when he woke up. Xu Mulin looked haggard and embarrassed. Xu Qingjiu also knew that his injury had caused the same pain to Xu Mulin. Now looking at Xu Mulin's begging eyes, Xu Qingjiu couldn't say no. Although he It is true that there is no serious problem now, but he does not want Xu Mulin to worry about himself at all.

Xu Qingjiu nodded and replied:"Okay, I will listen to my senior brother. When Wu Yang returns to Tianzong with me, I will ask him to rush to Luzhou as soon as possible. My guesses may just be overly sensitive and suspicious because of some false accusations. Senior brother, your analysis is not unreasonable. Therefore, there should be no danger in this trip to Luzhou, but there is no guarantee that Du Ling will not be involved in the same internal fight as Jing Hua. If you are accidentally injured, it will not work. Let Wu Yang go over and help you. OK?"

"Okay, it’s all up to you."

The two people outside the room shook their heads and sighed. Wu Jinghua couldn't help but comment:"Senior Brother Xu really has a way."
