After receiving this news, Wei Changtian's eyes widened again.
Du Chang is a member of Kui Long, so it is not surprising that he can escape from Yang Liushi.
But how long had it been before people died?
There is no doubt that Yang Liushi did not do this.
So who can find out Du Chang's location in such a short period of time and have the ability to kill a Kuilong man?
Frowning, Wei Changtian didn't think about it for too long, and quickly came up with the only possibility——
Du Chang was killed by Lu Hongji.
But why did Lu Hongji kill Du Chang?
Just because your identity is exposed? It’s useless?
But no matter what, Du Chang is also a "hero", so he is just killing the donkey?
It doesn't make sense...
Holding his hand on his forehead, Wei Changtian couldn't help but think more and more confused.
Du Chang's death itself was nothing.
But by whose hands he died and why that person wanted to kill him are key questions.
At this moment, although Wei Changtian didn't have any evidence, he still had a vague feeling...
Du Chang was killed by Chu Xianping.
If this is the case, what exactly is Chu Xianping going to do?
Didn't he get together with Lu Hongji? Why did he still help himself?
The morning sun rises, the morning fog slowly disperses into the distance, and the dewdrops reflect little bits of light, twinkling on the leaf tips outside the window.
Wei Changtian thought for a long time, then finally stood up, grabbed the star scabbard and pushed the door open.
...
...
Xinfeng, Anding County.
As the closest county between Xinfeng and Dahui, Anding County has been in the hands of the latter for more than a month.
However, although the Hui Dynasty occupied this place, they did not station many defenders, and they did not do anything to destroy, loot, or burn.
Therefore, for the peaceful people, their lives are not much different from before.
"Sir, do you want some tea?"
"Our tea soup only costs two cents per customer, so you can drink as much as you want for two cents!"
"..."
There was a tea stall open on the official road outside Anding City, and a man with a sweat towel on his shoulders was warmly greeting a few guests who had just stepped off a carriage.
These people were all dressed very well, and their identities were obviously unusual.
But for the man who runs the tea stall, he doesn't care whether the visitor is superior or inferior, he will always greet him with a smile.
"How many of you, have you just traveled all night?"
"It's so early in the morning, Luhan. Why don't you guys come in and sit in the house? There's charcoal burning in the house!"
"Haha, no need, we are just taking a rest."
Opposite, a middle-aged man with the most ordinary clothes but the most extraordinary temperament smiled and waved his hand. Immediately behind him, someone took out a small piece of broken silver from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, we've taken care of your tea stall this morning."
"ah?"
Holding the silver in his hands and his mouth slightly open, the man was obviously a little surprised.
But this surprise soon turned into a pleasant surprise. He hurriedly put the broken silver into his arms and said with a smile on his face:
"Yes, yes! The guests can sit down casually, and I'm going to make tea right now!"
"Um."
The middle-aged man nodded, then walked to a wooden table under a big tree and sat down.
A young gentleman sat opposite him, while the others stood a little further away.
"Brother Xianping..."
Glancing at the tea stall owner who was busy not far away, the middle-aged man shifted his gaze to the young man opposite.
"The person who leaked the secret died a quarter of an hour ago."
"Is it?"
The young master's expression did not change, he nodded slightly and said, "Then, as I said before, I, Senior Baidian, will let this go."
"So good."
The middle-aged man smiled, and his tone was a bit playful: "But brother Xianping, what a coincidence, but just two hours before the man died, his identity happened to be exposed."
"You have to know that he had been hiding with Wei Changtian for two years without incident, so why was he discovered at this time?"
"Did someone tell the truth?"
"Snitch?"
The young master smiled slightly: "Master Lu, since it is a whistleblower, then the whistleblower must know the identity of that person."
"If you really have this suspicion, then just investigate it yourself. What should I do?"
"Haha, brother Xianping, we have already said this, it would be pointless to be more secretive..."
Squinting his eyes slightly, the middle-aged man's tone gradually turned cold: "You have already guessed that Du Chang is mine."
"..."
Glittering dewdrops rolled on the tender green grass leaves, and the morning breeze brought the faint fragrance of tea.
The small wooden table is like a chess table, and the chess game on the table has reached the level of hand-to-hand combat.
"Yes, I have already guessed it."
Looking directly at the middle-aged man, the young master's eyes also turned gloomy: "Master Lu, do you suspect that I leaked his identity to Wei Changtian?"
"if not?"
There was a sneer at the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth: "Brother Xianping, shouldn't I doubt you?"
"Haha, it's none of your business who you suspect."
The young master sneered and shook his head: "I'm not interested in explaining anything to you."
"Are you not interested in explaining, or are you unable to explain?"
Leaning forward, the middle-aged man's tone became colder and colder, as if he would do something at any time.
But at this moment, the tea stall owner happened to come over carrying a pot of hot tea.
"Two distinguished guests, our tea is not very good, but it quenches your thirst."
Placing the two tea bowls in front of the two of them, the man smiled and said, "You two have a try and call me if you need anything!"
"..."
Call me if you need anything.
This was originally just an ordinary sentence, but at this moment it seemed to have a different meaning.
Because when the man said this, he didn't look at the middle-aged man at all, his eyes always fell on the young man.
...
The tea is warm, and a few young leaves are floating in the bowl.
As if time had frozen for a moment, when the tea stall owner said his last words, everyone present except Chu Xianping suddenly turned their heads to look at the former.
But this big man who was very simple just now didn't have any panic on his face at this time. He just looked at Chu Xianping and gently raised his hand.
"Sir, I'm just standing by here. If you have anything to say, please speak."
"Um."
He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea. Chu Xianping's eyes were still so calm.
He glanced at Lu Hongji, whose expression changed slightly, and said calmly:
"Master Lu, you don't really think I came here alone, do you?"
"..."
His face turned from red to blue, and then from green to normal again. Lu Hongji looked at Chu Xianping, and the cold look on his face faded little by little.
He raised his eyes and glanced around the small tea stall, and replied quietly:
"Of course I know you didn't come alone, but...hehe, Brother Xianping is a good trick."
"It's not about means, it's just about cherishing your life."
Chu Xianping smiled and gently put down the tea bowl.
"Master Lu, Du Chang's identity is indeed not revealed by me."
"Since I have parted ways with Wei Changtian, I will naturally not do such a useless thing."
"And I've warned you before."
"Don't be too confident in everything. Wei Changtian is not an ordinary person."
"Master Lu, you didn't listen to my advice, who can blame you?"
