Yuan Wenhao died. When Ye Xiu received the call from Hong Hu, he rushed back to the capital of Shu overnight and did not even return to Ye's Manor.
When he arrived at Wuxiang Villa, Yuan Wenhao had already turned into a cold corpse.
There was a black dagger stuck in his heart.
It was this dagger that took his life.
"What's going on?" Looking at Yuan Wenhao's pale face, Ye Xiu asked in a hoarse voice.
He and Yuan Wenhao didn't have a deep relationship, but Yuan Wenhao was the person he chose to rule the underground world of Shu Capital, and now he was slaughtered alive.
Who in the entire Shu capital has such ability?
After all, Yuan Wenhao was also a warrior who had developed inner strength, and he was protected by many masters around him. How could he be killed with a knife in such a way?
Nalanchu, Apu and Hong Hu stood aside.
Hearing Ye Xiu's angry scolding, Nalanchu and A'Bo raised their heads one after another. They wanted to tell Ye Xiu what happened first, but when they thought that Yuan Wenhao was killed under their noses, they couldn't say anything.
exit.
Guilt, self-blame, grief, anger, despair...
All kinds of emotions flooded their bodies.
"Master Ye, it's like this..." Finally, Hong Hu sighed and told what happened.
It's the Lantern Festival in a few days. Taiping County in the southern suburbs of Shu capital holds a week-long lantern festival every year on these days. Yuan Wenhao has been busy with work, so he only has time these days, so he takes his daughter Yuan Xiaoyuan with him.
Went to Taiping County to enjoy the Lantern Festival.
Nalanchu, Apu, and many masters from the Wuxiang Sect accompanied them. But at the bustling lantern festival, a man in ordinary clothes walked through the protection secretly arranged by Nalanchu, Apu and others like a ghost.
Circle, came to Yuan Wenhao's side.
When Nalanchu, Apu and others reacted, the man had already stabbed Yuan Wenhao into the heart. Blood sprayed all over the face of Yuan Xiaoyuan, who was only three and a half years old. The little girl was so frightened that she fainted on the spot.
Nalanchu, Apu and others wanted to pursue her, but the man picked up the little girl and threw her towards them. When they caught the little girl, the killer had disappeared without a trace.
It was as if he had never appeared before, and Yuan Wenhao was killed on the spot and sent back overnight!
After listening to Hong Hu's story, Ye Xiu's brows knitted together.
Apu and Nalanchu are now masters of internal strength. Coupled with the protection of others, it is not easy to kill Yuan Wenhao.
Especially Yuan Wenhao himself is a warrior.
Those who can do this are at least at the peak of their inner strength, and may even be masters who have entered the innate realm.
But why would a great master in the innate realm kill Yuan Wenhao in such a way?
Vendetta?
Not quite!
Yuan Wenhaogui is the leader of the Wuxiang Sect. If he really had an enemy in the innate realm, he would have been killed openly and openly. Why would he need such useless tricks? He would go to Taiping County, which is dozens of kilometers away, to attack him?
Is it to hide something?
Also, how did the killer know that Yuan Wenhao had gone to Taiping County?
"How many people knew beforehand that Yuan Wenhao was going to visit the Lantern Festival?" Ye Xiu pondered for a moment and looked at the three of them.
This time, Hong Hu did not speak.
Nalanchu and Apu were stunned for a moment. Is Mr. Ye suspecting something?
"Before setting off, except me and A'Bo, no one knew about the sect master's itinerary..." However, Nalanchu still spoke honestly.
"How many people came from you in total? After arriving, who have left your sight?" Ye Xiu continued.
Apu and Nalanchu were Yuan Wenhao's brothers who lived and died together. Even when faced with the coercion of masters such as Leng Wufeng and Lin Shanhai, they did not choose to compromise. Instead, they faced it together with Yuan Wenhao. This is enough to prove that
their loyalty.
But no matter how powerful the killer is, he cannot predict the situation and arrive at the lantern festival in advance to ambush him. Someone must have informed the killer.
"There are thirty-six people in total. As for leaving our sight?" Suddenly, the expressions of Nalanchu and A'Bo changed at the same time.
"Here comes..." Nalanchu didn't even bother to answer Ye Xiu's question, turned around and shouted outside.
Immediately, a brother from Wu Xiangmen rushed in.
"Go and call Zhang Xuehu..." Nalanchu ordered.
A moment later, this man from a non-famous family hurried back and brought shocking news: Zhang Xuehu was missing.
In other words, Zhang Xuehu did not return with them at all!
Abo, Nalanchu's face became as ugly as possible.
After Yuan Wenhao was attacked at the lantern festival, it caused chaos. They wanted to send Yuan Wenhao to the hospital, but Yuan Wenhao had already died on the spot. After searching for the murderer to no avail, they rushed over immediately, but everyone's
My heart was filled with sadness, and no one noticed Zhang Xuehu's disappearance.
It wasn't until Ye Xiu mentioned it that he remembered this person.
The reason why the two of them thought of this person first was because he was the only person who had ever left their sight at the lantern festival. Not long after he arrived at the lantern festival, he went to the bathroom.
The people who could be selected by Nalanchu and Abo as Yuan Wenhao's guards were absolutely loyal to Yuan Wenhao. Because of this, none of them cared.
Who doesn’t have a third emergency?
But who would have thought that this young man who was just a wanderer but was discovered and promoted by Yuan Wenhao would betray Yuan Wenhao.
"This beast..." After thinking about it, A'pu punched the wall with such force that the wall made a muffled "thunk" sound.
Apu's fist even scratched the surface of his skin! Blood was flowing out!
But such pain is nothing compared to the pain in my heart.
"Go and pass on my order. Once you discover Zhang Xuehu's whereabouts, arrest him immediately!" Nalanchu directly ordered.
The Wuxiang Sect member responded, turned around and retreated.
In Yuan Wenhao's room, only four people, Ye Xiu, were left again.
"Young Master Ye..." Nalanchu looked at Ye Xiu.
This matter is obviously not that simple, but who is behind all this?
"I don't have a clue at the moment. Let's find that guy first!" Ye Xiu shook his head. This matter was full of weirdness.
"Yes!" Nalanchu nodded vigorously.
"Besides, we can't delay Lao Yuan's funeral. Let's find a time to bury him in peace!" Ye Xiu sighed softly.
A'Bo and Nalanchu both nodded, but when they thought that the man who led them and others to carry forward the Wuxiang Sect was gone, their eyes suddenly turned red.
"My condolences, brother..." Hong Hu also sighed and patted the two of them lightly on the shoulders.
Ye Xiu didn't say anything more. With a heavy heart, he left Wuxiang Villa and returned directly to the community where he lived.
He vaguely felt that a storm was brewing!
As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a figure standing upside down on the wall, and he was stunned...
