Lengxue kicked the man early, and when he rushed to the backyard, he did not forget to put out the torch. He saw smoke rising from the guest room. There was a firewood blocking the door of a room, and it was burning vigorously. There was no movement in the room.
The owner of the tavern probably lived there, but there was no movement in each room. He was afraid that the waiter of Wuyamen had drugged them.
He quickly found a bucket, filled it with water, and went to put out the fire. Fortunately, Lengxue arrived quickly, and the fire did not spread. He put out the fire with two buckets of water, but the smoke had already spread.
First, Wudu appeared, and then the target set fire. Lengxue was busy all night. He kicked the door open, and a figure staggered to the bedside, coughing lowly.
Leng Xue was afraid that the man would choke to death, so he hurried forward to drag him. The smoke was rolling, and he could not see the appearance of the man lying on the ground. But when Leng Xue dragged the man to the yard, he looked at him in the moonlight, and his heart skipped a beat.
He saw that the left half of the man's face was wrapped in white gauze, and the eyelid of his right eye was sunken, and it could be seen that there was no eyeball. His hands were cut off at the wrist and wrapped in heavy gauze. This man seemed to have suffered inhuman treatment.
Leng Xue did not have time to think, and turned around to call people from each room. The drugged man was sleeping soundly, and Leng Xue was sweating while dragging and pulling him. He did not know how much thick smoke they had inhaled. After putting the man in the yard, he quickly fetched well water and splashed it on the man's face.
After four splashes, the cool night wind blew and everyone woke up shivering, looking around in confusion.
Leng Xue stood by and wiped his sweat. The man with a special look was the first one to wake up, but he didn't say a word after waking up. When Leng Xue looked at him, he would just look away silently, without making a sound or leaving.
The owner of the tavern was thrown into an empty room. The people from Wu Ya Men seemed to want to burn all of them to death. Leng Xue didn't know what happened between them. Seeing that everyone could barely speak, he revealed his identity and told the whole story to the terrified people. Then he asked the shopkeeper alone if he had any idea about what happened.
The shopkeeper had no idea. He looked at the waiter lying on the ground and said, "I didn't take the initiative to recruit this guy. I only know that his last name is Zhou, and he is the fifth child in the family. I have always called him Friday. He got drunk and mad when he was drinking at my place two days ago. He smashed bowls and cursed people, and smashed things everywhere. After he sobered up, he took the initiative to ask for help to pay off the debt.
He was very quick and nimble..." Lengxue knew that he couldn't get anything out of the shopkeeper. Thinking of the resident in the room with the most fire, he asked, "When did the guest with half of his face wrapped in cloth move in?"
"It was about seven or eight days ago. Other inns in the town didn't dare to accept him, but he said he wanted to wait for someone, but was willing to pay me according to the inn's price." The shopkeeper's face showed some uneasiness. "Captain, you mean that the fire is related to that guest?"
Leng Xue didn't answer. A figure quietly appeared from the archway leading to the backyard. The protagonist of the topic - the man with both wrists broken, half of his body was hidden in the shadows, his eyes like a deep pool.
The two looked at each other, and the shopkeeper turned his head subconsciously and met the man's eyes. He was startled. Although he didn't say anything bad, he was still a little scared. He stammered a few "this, this, that, that". Leng Xue spoke up to help, "Shopkeeper, you go to the back to clean up first."
The shopkeeper was as if he had been pardoned. He hurriedly said "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Leng" and walked away with a frown.
There were only two people standing in the hall of the front room, and a person who had been kicked unconscious and had not woken up yet.
Leng Xue asked, "Is this man here for you?"
The man looked scary, and his reaction after waking up was like a thorn, but he nodded slightly and replied, "He came for me."
Leng Xue said, "May I ask your name?"
"No, your name is Liu. My name is Yuhen." The man said slowly, "Liu Yuhen."
Leng Xue felt that the name sounded familiar, and a nickname emerged in his mind. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Liu Yuhen"
"Jade-faced Young Master" Liu Yuhen, to have such a nickname, he must be outstanding in appearance and handsome, but the man in front of him did not fit the word "Jade-faced" at all.
Liu Yuhen looked indifferent and nodded as a response.
The cold-blooded character is known to all in the martial arts world. Although Liu Yuhen survived a disaster, he still had a lot of hatred in his heart, but he would not vent his anger on others. So he told Lengxue about the grievances between him and Wuyamen.
Wei Wuya is the leader of the twelve zodiac signs, full of evil. Before he asked to marry the two palace masters Yaoyue and Lianxing, he offended Liu Yuhen's sweetheart.
A guy like Wei Wuya who has no self-awareness will act according to his own wishes when he sees someone. After all, he has always been hiding in the dark, and no one can threaten his life, so he will do things without scruples. His subordinates who
work hard for him will do anything for him.
By chance, Liu Yuhen's sweetheart was seen by Wei Wuya, who sent people to capture her. Liu Yuhen rescued her and thus offended Wuya Sect.
"I went to rescue her with another person, and we went a little too far..." Liu Yuhen said lightly, "After that, Wei Wuya ordered the Wuyamen people to hunt us down, but I was very conspicuous no matter how I disguised myself. The person I'm waiting for is that companion."
Lengxue was silent for a moment and asked, "Who are you waiting for?"
Liu Yuhen didn't want Lengxue to be concerned about him because of Wuyamen's affairs, so he just wanted to send him away quickly, so he confessed, "Xiao Qiuyu."
"..." Lengxue asked, "The Intestinal Swordsman, Xiao Qiuyu"
"It's him." Liu Yuhen found that Lengxue's expression was a little subtle, "Is there something... wrong with that?"
*
When Xiao Qiuyu woke up, his neck hurt terribly. The last scene he remembered was when Wu Du looked at him, a pair of round eyes shining brightly under the moon.
He sat up from the bed, holding his neck. He was confused for a moment, and then he saw the quiet shadow beside the bed suddenly react, immediately jumped off the bed, and took a vigilant posture.
That person - the killer Wu Du was looking at him gently: "You are awake, is your neck still a little painful? I may not know how to use it, please forgive me."
Xiao Qiuyu was still very vigilant and a little confused about why he appeared here. When Wu Du said this, he remembered why his neck hurt so much.
He was no longer confused, frowning with a dark face, his handsome face full of displeasure: "Brother Wu, it's fine if you don't want to drink with me, but why do you have to treat me like this?"
Wu Du said: "I heard that you once rescued a girl from Wei Wu Ya."
Xiao Qiuyu's face changed slightly. Their fight with Wei Wu Ya was not known to others, and few people knew about it, but Wu Du directly pointed it out.
Bu Zao did know the cause and effect, but the reason he went to Xiao Qiuyu had nothing to do with the girl and Wei Wu Ya. The reason why he mentioned Wei Wu Ya was just a big banner for the "Side Quest: Love".
After all, he couldn't just tell Xiao Qiuyu that he wanted to see your Shura Field to learn about human emotions.
If he really did that, Wudu's image would only become worse.
Xiao Qiuyu didn't say anything, but to some extent he had already acquiesced. Bu Zao was too lazy to argue with him anymore, so he brought up the next topic: "I want to see Wei Wuya, I hope you can help me lure him out."
The round-eyed killer still had half of his face covered, his eyes were friendly, Xiao Qiuyu was a little dizzy... What was this person talking about? Why could he say "I want you to be bait" so friendly?
"--You are dreaming!" Xiao Qiuyu said angrily.
Then he swayed and almost fell back on the bed. Wu Du's move was indeed not knowing the severity of the situation. After speaking loudly, Xiao Qiuyu had the illusion that his brain was spinning.
He snorted.
Bu Zao: Well...
Speaking of knocking people out, he knocked out several people when he was in the Stone Forest Cave of Shi Guanyin, but he didn't have time to see their reactions after they woke up... It seems that he did hit them a little too hard.
After all, when he was leveling up in the Salted Fish Sect, his main body and the vest had never practiced knocking people out. It stands to reason that as long as he is strong, everything will not be a problem.
Wudu poured a cup of warm water that he had scooped from the kitchen and handed it to Xiao Qiuyu, saying sincerely, "Have some warm water."
Xiao Qiuyu was so thirsty that he took the cup and drank it all in one gulp. He wiped the water from the corner of his mouth and handed the cup back, saying thank you reluctantly, "Thank you."
Wudu put the cup back on the table, and before he turned around, a gust of wind came from behind him -
Xiao Qiuyu picked up the porcelain pillow on the bed and threw it at Wudu. His sword was placed on a cabinet not far away by Wudu, so he could only use the porcelain pillow.
The porcelain pillow was coming with great force, and Wudu didn't even turn his head. He bent down and picked up the bench and swept it back. With a sad cry, Xiao Qiuyu was hit in the chest and knelt on the ground with a pale face.
The porcelain pillow brushed against Wu Du's shoulder and fell on the table with a loud thump. Fortunately, it didn't break. Bu Zao grabbed it before it fell off the table.
Xiao Qiuyu regretted it.
He shouldn't have had that thought... Wu Du's attitude was obviously very friendly.
Xiao Qiuyu thought that Wu Du would tear off the friendly mask this time, so he covered his chest, feeling dizzy and heartbroken, waiting for the coming storm.
Wu Du's face could not be seen, but his feet could be seen. After putting down the bench, he took a few steps forward and walked close to Xiao Qiuyu.
Then a hand appeared in his sight. There was a hard rope on the palm of the tiger's mouth. It was heavier than some older martial artists. It can be seen that Wu Du is a person who practices martial arts seriously.
Wudu's voice was very friendly: "You shouldn't have hit mine. Fortunately, you didn't break it, otherwise the shopkeeper would be upset. - Get up."
Xiao Qiuyu was startled, with mixed feelings in his heart. He held the hand of this strange killer and stood up with difficulty.
With Wudu's help, he sat down on the edge of the bed. Xiao Qiuyu slowed down slightly, looked at the masked killer in front of him, and asked: "Do you have any grudge against Wei Wuya or did someone hire you to kill him?"
Wudu shook his head: "I don't have any grudge against him, but my junior brother has suffered at his hands."
This means that no one hired him to kill Wei Wuya.
Xiao Qiuyu was a little surprised. He had heard a little about Wudu's legendary "master", but the rumors were vague and ambiguous. It didn't say what sect Wudu came from, nor did it say the name of his master.
And now, Wudu mentioned his junior fellow apprentice.
Xiao Qiuyu felt very subtle.
Perhaps at this moment, he was the person closest to Wudu's origin.
After fighting with Wudu twice, Xiao Qiuyu found that he was not as good as Wudu. Wei Wuya was angry because of what they did, and chased him like a mad dog. Xiao Qiuyu was tired of hiding - if Wudu took action, even if Wei Wuya didn't die, he would be able to peel off a layer of skin, and they would have one less big trouble.
Xiao Qiuyu smiled and said, "Brother Wu, does your invitation still count?"
Wu Du raised his eyes and said, "Of course it counts."
Bu Zao didn't know whether this guy was smart or not. He was beaten for nothing, but finally agreed.
