Seeing the middle-aged man's reaction, Murong Fu raised the corner of his mouth slightly. As far as he knew, Zhang Zhaozhong appeared to be a gangster, but in fact he had already joined the Qing court and served as the assistant commander of the Xiaoqi battalion, but he received the position of deputy capital commander.
Kangxi valued him quite a lot.
He compared the dead man with the middle-aged man in front of him. The former was just an ordinary martial arts practitioner with mediocre martial arts, while the latter, in addition to being highly skilled in martial arts, had an extremely strong evil aura and had obviously killed many people.
With these supporting evidences, Murong Fu thought for a moment and realized that the dead person was not the real Zhang Zhaozhong, but the middle-aged man in front of him. Combining this man's reaction just now, he confirmed his suspicion.
Murong Fu's thoughts changed in his mind and he said, "The meaning is very obvious. The so-called Senior Brother Zhang is not Zhang Zhaozhong at all. The real Zhang Zhaozhong is you."
As soon as these words came out, a look of shock and a hint of murderous intent flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but it only disappeared briefly, and his expression returned to normal, "I don't know what you mean. If this young master is fine,
Please leave as soon as possible, I have to deal with senior brother's funeral affairs, so I have no time to tangle with you."
"Oh, really?" Murong Fu sneered, "If I say that I know who this person is, would you believe it?"
The middle-aged man who was suspected of being Zhang Zhaozhong was slightly startled, but to Murong Fu's surprise, his expression quickly returned to calm, "I don't need to worry about it, sir, I will find out the murderer sooner or later and kill him.
"
"You damn duck has a tough mouth!" Murong Fu cursed in his heart. He didn't expect this person to be so difficult to deal with. He was just like an old fox. He was extremely careful about his facial expressions. If he hadn't had six senses, he would have been hard to detect.
Murong Fu confirmed Zhang Zhaozhong's identity, but he became even more confused. First, according to the rules of Xiake Island, whether you are inviting someone or boarding a ship, your identity will be verified. No matter how sophisticated the disguise technique is, it will never be possible.
How did this little Bagua sect manage to escape detection?
Secondly, the man in black obviously wanted to kill Zhang Zhaozhong, but the real Zhang Zhaozhong had lost his identity. Did he know that someone was going to deal with him?
Thirdly, this is what Murong Fu is most confused about. This Bagua sect is said to be a branch of Wudang, but in fact it is just a small and unpopular sect. Why did it lead to death? Judging from the martial arts of the person who took action, it was not from the Central Plains.
If there is a visitor, then it must be the work of Xiake Island or other islands. Could it be that Bagua Sect has any secrets?
In an instant, Murong Fu's mind was full of thoughts, and finally he was puzzled. He shook his head secretly and asked bluntly, "I am very curious, who has your Bagua Sect 'head' offended, and why are you on the island?"
Cause you to die."
The expression of the middle-aged man who was suspected to be Zhang Zhaozhong did not change at all. He gave Murong Fu a steady look and said, "If you continue to bother to get to the bottom of things like this, don't blame me for being rude."
Murong Fu followed suit and said, "Okay, I would like to see how you are so rude."
The middle-aged man's face was stunned, as if he didn't expect Murong Fu to speak like this. If it were anyone else, he would have drawn his sword at him, but the person in front of him was extremely skilled in martial arts, and he had seen it before.
This is what people in the world are like. Even though they knew they were outmatched, they could not lose their momentum and immediately said in a deep voice, "Do you really want to be so aggressive?"
Murong Fu stared at him, and after a while he suddenly smiled, "Haha, I was just joking, Mr. Zhang doesn't have to take it seriously."
Then he took a deep look at the middle-aged man, turned around and left without any hesitation, as if the person he was pestering just now was not him.
Until Murong Fu's back disappeared completely, another Bagua sect disciple took two steps forward and said to the middle-aged man, "Master Zhang, how did he know about us..."
"Shut up!" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a middle-aged man. He glared at him and said, "We'll talk after we go in."
"This Xiake Island is getting more and more interesting. A small island isolated overseas but inextricably linked to the Central Plains. A strange flower that blooms in ten years is extremely poisonous but can make people realize. It is an island with a bright future.
A high-ranking general of the Qing court came to this island of knights on behalf of the leader of a little-known sect, and interesting things like assassinations and contract swaps happened..."
Murong Fu walked leisurely, replaying the events of the past few days over and over in his mind. There was clearly a strange situation, as if he had a premonition that something big was about to happen, but he still couldn't figure out what the connection could be.
In addition, tonight the old man surnamed Wen also mentioned the tasks that everyone needs to do on the island, all of which are to collect some kind of materials required for casting. Is Xiake Island really recasting the Heavenly Sword? But even if it is recasting the Heavenly Sword
, it doesn’t take so much refining materials.
Murong Fu's thoughts were running around, but he still couldn't figure out what Xiake Island was going to do. Ding Minjun followed him step by step, looking at his back from time to time, secretly lost in thought.
Back in the stone building, Murong Fu went straight to Xiao Zhao's room. Xiao Zhao was still sleeping soundly. He didn't disturb him. He just took off his clothes and hugged Xiao Zhao to sleep.
At dawn the next day, Ding Minjun knocked on Murong Fu's door and reported that the two envoys of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil had come to Yingbin Pavilion to deal with last night's murder case.
Murong Fu's heart moved, so he took Ding Minjun with him to have a look. On the way, he met Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min. The two girls were also very bored and insisted on following them.
Not long after, Murong Fu and his entourage arrived at the stone building where the Bagua Gate was located. A group of people had already gathered here. Most of the heroes who had gathered last night were there, except Taoist Tianxu, He Zudao, and those who came to the island a few decades ago.
People from the Central Plains were not present.
Now that there was enough light and everyone was standing far apart, Murong Fu could see everyone's faces clearly. Unfortunately, he didn't know the identities of most of them.
It's no wonder that these sects are small to begin with, and Murong Fu never cares about them. What's more, these so-called leaders and leaders are temporarily appointed to replace him. They usually have little reputation, such as Shi Qing and Min Rou.
Those who have been around the world all year round may not all know him.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Murong Fu raised his brows and looked in one direction in great surprise. There stood a young man wearing a white scholar's shirt and an extremely handsome and graceful appearance. He turned out to be Lin Pingzhi.
"The Huashan sect is here too?" Murong Fu said in shock, and it was Lin Pingzhi who came.
Then a look of surprise flashed across his face. If the Huashan Sect received the iron card, Yue Buqun's character would definitely trick him into letting a disciple go in his place, and Lin Pingzhi was the best candidate.
"It's not just the Huashan sect," Zhou Zhiruo pursed her lips, "Look, those are Mr. Mo Da from the Hengshan sect, Taoist Priest Tianmen from the Taishan sect, Master Dingxian from the Hengshan sect, Great Yin Yang Shou Lehou from the Songshan sect, and people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect are all here.
Already."
Murong Fu looked in the direction pointed by Zhou Zhiruo, and saw a few people standing there. One of them was tall and thin, with a haggard face. He was wearing a long green cloth gown, which was washed out green and white. An erhu, it is Mo Da who plays the Shenlong of Hengshan School but never sees its end. People in the world call him Mr. Mo Da.
There was a person next to him. This person had white hair and beard. He was full and generous. The skin on his face was red, as if his skin had been roasted red by fire. But everyone who knew this person's origin knew that this person hated evil as much as he hated evil and was righteous. , but has an extremely bad temper and a strong temper, he is the Taoist Master of Tianmen of the Taishan Sect.
A few steps away from the two of them, stood an old nun, wearing a gray monk's robe, with a kind face and an extraordinary demeanor. However, Murong Fu recognized this man as Master Dingxian, the head of the Hengshan Sect.
In comparison, Na Lehou looked much younger, about fifty years old, short and fat, with a swollen face, but his eyes were bright and awe-inspiring, but this man was obviously the same as Lin Pingzhi , was also sent by Zuo Lengchan as a substitute.
At this point, the heads of the Wuyue Sword Sect made a judgment. Master Dingxian, Taoist Master Tianmen, and Mr. Mo Da obviously did not want to sacrifice their disciples, so they went to Xiake Island to die in person, while the Huashan Sect and Songshan Sect sent Disciples support me.
It's no wonder that the positions of the five people are quite subtle. Hengshan, Hengshan and Taishan are standing together, obviously not willing to be with the other two.
"Everyone," at this time, Murong Fu heard Zhang San's voice coming from the audience, with a hint of anger in his tone, "when you are far away in the Central Plains, I, the Knight Island, can know your every move, let alone when you are here. This knight is on the island, so since Mr. Long said that the murderer is among you, then he must be among you."
"Long?" Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that Zhang San was actually a disciple of the Long family. No wonder the arrogant Master Long called his third uncle yesterday and did not dare to disobey him. But Zhang San Why lie?
When the heroes heard this, they were immediately dissatisfied, "Why do you insist that the murderer is among us? Why should we kill the leader of the Bagua Sect?"
"Yes, why did you, Xiake Island, forcefully invite me to come and drink Laba porridge? You didn't have any good intentions in the first place. I think it was you who killed the person, and you will definitely kill us next."
"Brother Zheng is right, we might as well fight with them, maybe there is a glimmer of hope."
For a time, the heroes were very excited, and the two sides were at war with each other.
However, the disciples behind Zhang San and Li Si were not economical. Although they all looked like young men in their 10s or 20s, they were full of energy and vaguely reached the first-class level. But when they saw them taking a step forward together, they shouted in unison, "Shut up." ", the sound made everyone's eardrums buzz.
Only then did the heroes remember that this was Xiake Island. The people on Xiake Island generally had extremely high martial arts skills. If they were to fight head-on, they might not be their opponents.
Zhang San seemed to have read what everyone was thinking, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Ding Busi, who was the first to speak, "Mr. Ding, I don't know why one of you wanted to kill the leader of the Bagua Sect. "
"But I have something to advise you," Zhang San paused, with a slightly cold expression, "Private fights are prohibited on Knight Island. Once discovered, all your skills will be destroyed directly. No matter what grudges you have, put them aside for the time being, or fight each other. Let’s meet and find a remote area to solve the problem ourselves.”
