Chapter 66 Murong Wanfeng, Out of the City Overnight
Come out of the inconspicuous inn and go straight to the most prosperous area of Lecheng.
Bureaucrats from various counties will leave the city tomorrow morning. If they want to intercept Zhang Ming in advance, they will set off tonight!
Although it is very dangerous outside, Wuji is even more worried about leaving Xiaoyu alone in Lechengjiang! Secondly, Xiaoyu will definitely follow him. So now he has to hurry up and rush back to the inn where he is staying, take Xiaoyu with him, and then use
The token given by Li Changfeng left the city overnight!
Although he agreed to work with Li Changfeng and others to find the murderer of Chief Qiu's death, there was actually one thing that remained undisclosed tonight.
That was Master Qiu's case. It was actually a case of investigating the plague. To prove Master Qiu's innocence was just an excuse. Li Changfeng's purpose was to let himself investigate the source of the plague and find out the originator of the Leping plague.
According to Li Changfeng's inference, Chief Qiu's death was to confuse the public and delay Fengtian Division's investigation of the plague.
But in the final analysis, aren't these two things the same thing?
Jiang Wuji had already thought of this when Li Changfeng expressed his inference, but for him, whether he was investigating the murderer or the plague, it was the same.
Finding the real murderer can avenge Master Qiu, and finding the source of the plague can cure Xiaoyu's hemoptysis. If this matter can be solved within a month.
Then maybe the 300,000 people who were abandoned in Leping County could also survive...
Finally, judging from the current situation, whether or not to join Fengtiansi, it is definitely right to make friends with people from Fengtiansi.
Jiang Wuji shook his head vigorously, discarding all distracting thoughts. There was no need to think about anything at the moment, he had to catch Zhang Ming first!
Just when Jiang Wuji rushed outside the inn door, a familiar voice came from behind.
"No... benefactor."
"Miss Murong?"
Murong Wanfeng stood across the street. Although he was well-dressed, he gave people an indescribable sadness.
In addition, Jiang Wuji was not very comfortable with the title "Benefactor", but it didn't matter, Murong Wanfeng could call him whatever he wanted.
"My benefactor, what happened tonight..." Murong Wanfeng seemed hesitant to speak, which made Jiang Wuji worry.
"If you have anything to say, hurry up and tell me." Jiang Wuji said.
Murong Wanfeng took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Jiang Wuji, and said, "What happened tonight should have nothing to do with my father. He has been staying with my mother in the mansion today."
Jiang Wuji didn't do any riddles and said directly: "This is Lecheng. Murong Yue doesn't need to do it himself to kill Chief Qiu."
"No, I mean, my father has been accompanying my mother with me today, and he has not seen anyone during this period." Murong Wanfeng said.
"Well, then you three of us have a good relationship. If there's nothing else to do, I'll leave first." Jiang Wuji said perfunctorily, then turned and walked towards the inn.
He already understood what Murong Wanfeng meant. She just wanted to prove her father's innocence.
Since she can come here tonight and say something, she must have already known that his father is going to lose his pawn to save his chariot.
For Murong Wanfeng, who led people out to hunt down the demons of the Red Lotus Sect when her brain got hot, this decision must have been very uncomfortable for her.
In addition, Master Qiu is dead.
The only people who dared to oppose the county bureaucrats died.
Murong Wanfeng's voice became a little choker, and she shouted to Jiang Wuji's back: "You don't understand, my mother is seriously ill and has been in a coma for three years. My father always stays by my mother's bedside.
One day, sometimes you don’t even see me.”
"I don't want what happened to Master Qiu to happen, but... the murderer can never be my father!"
Hearing these words, Jiang Wuji stopped again.
"I'll find out."
"Master Qiu's death cannot be in vain..."
Jiang Wuji did not look back at Murong Wanfeng, but hurriedly walked into the inn and disappeared from the latter's sight.
…
inside the house.
Xiaoyu, who was restless, immediately went up to hug his brother after seeing him.
"Brother, are you okay? Why are the people from Fengtiansi looking for me? Have they made things difficult for me?"
"It's okay." Jiang Wuji rubbed his sister's head, then looked at Cao Li.
"I have joined forces with the people from Fengtiansi. We will leave the city tonight and head to Yunping Mountain."
"Yunpingshan?"
Cao Li frowned. Just as he was about to ask why he wanted to go to Yunping Mountain, a possibility suddenly occurred to him.
"There is a canyon in Yunping Mountain, which is the only way to go to Yunfeng County. Xiao Daoye, are you going to..."
Jiang Wuji: "I want to intercept Zhang Ming!"
"There is a great epidemic in Leping, and evil spirits are rampant. I am afraid that I will encounter some unclean things when traveling at night, but Yunping Mountain is a suitable place to do it."
"You have to think clearly, if you want to follow me, I won't stop you."
Cao Li sneered and said, "Although I am only a ninth-grade warrior, aren't warriors always vulgar?"
The two of them smiled knowingly and said nothing more.
…
The night wind blows in my face, and the moon and stars are sparse.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the gibbous moon hanging in the night sky creates golden ripples.
"Da da da……"
Cao Li rode his horse in front, and Jiang Wuji and his sister followed behind.
Yunping Mountain is not far away. You can get there before dawn, but the premise is that you don't encounter anything else along the way.
After worrying all the way, the three of them finally arrived at the canyon of Yunping Mountain at dawn.
The road in the canyon is difficult to walk. The ground is full of rocks and rugged. There are many strange rocks on both sides and the rock walls are barren of grass.
The sky has already turned white, and the light is much brighter than when we first left the city.
Jiang Wuji frowned slightly. He originally wanted to make some traps in advance, but found that he had no experience in this area.
There were quite a few places to hide on the rock walls on both sides, making it easier to ambush, but there were only three of them in total, and they didn't have anything like a crossbow.
At this time, Cao Li asked: "Little Dao Master, don't you arrange some formations in advance?"
Jiang Wuji: "Formation?"
Cao Li: "Yes."
"Won't."
"..."
"Hahaha, I almost forgot that the little Taoist master is a fake Taoist priest." Cao Li scratched his scalp.
Seeing that Jiang Wuji still frowned, Cao Li added: "Actually... Yunfeng County is not much richer than our Yong'an County. The person who followed Zhang Ming when the county magistrate hosted a banquet was their county's head catcher, just like me.
He is a ninth-grade martial artist, and I estimate that among their group, there are at most two ninth-grade martial artists."
"Can you deal with it?" Jiang Wuji asked.
Cao Li had a pig liver look on his face and said in surprise: "Little Taoist Master, aren't you already at the eighth level? Isn't it easy to kill two ninth-level warriors?"
Seeing that Jiang Wuji didn't speak, Cao Li smacked his lips and said, "I have been in the ninth rank for a long time. There will be no problem in one-on-one situations, but in one-on-two situations, I can only be 60% sure."
Jiang Wuji took off the gourd hanging from his waist, poured out two red pills from it, and handed them to Cao Li and Xiaoyu respectively.
"This pill can temporarily increase your blood energy. You should have no problem dealing with two ninth-level pills after taking it."
"Don't worry, if you can't deal with it, I won't stand idly by."
After taking the elixir, Cao Li asked, "Has the little Taoist master already thought of a way?"
"Cao Li, how are your acting skills?" Jiang Wuji asked.
"Acting? What, what do you mean?" Cao Li really didn't understand.
Jiang Wuji turned around and looked in the direction they came from, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"It's no fun, just do as I say."
However, after saying this, Jiang Wuji's vision suddenly blurred!
No...
When can’t it be done, why should we choose this time?
