The robin was very alert and deflected its wings to avoid the throw.
But just as it was about to rise, the Fushengdao made a spin and approached again from behind.
There was a soft sound, and a small ball of blood exploded in the air.
"Solved." Get rid of this spy so they can take action later.
He Lingchuan and the others continued on the road and soon reached the edge of the cliff.
Looking back several times in the middle, the Weng brothers saw the rolling flames below, which was a strange sight. Weng Xing looked regretful: "I placed four or five explosive pills under the Shiweng in Liuxiangju in the small peach garden in the north-central part of Zhuangzi.
Well, I never had a chance to detonate it, what a waste!”
His explosives are extremely powerful and difficult to make.
He Lingchuan glanced at him. This kid was actually an explosion maniac.
When they reached the edge of the cliff, the Weng brothers took out the noose and asked He Lingchuan: "My dear, do you want to use this?"
It's not difficult to go down the cliff on a rope, but it takes a little more time.
The rope they brought out this time seemed far from long enough.
"No need." He Lingchuan took out two pairs of membrane flying wings made by Songyang Mansion and placed them under his ribs, "Let's fly down."
Fu Shanyue's flying wing suit was used by He Lingchuan when he was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and was later handed over to Songyang Mansion for continuous improvement. It is now in its fifth version, with smoother gliding, more flexible steering, and better performance in short-term strong winds.
It is also more stable and will not look like a kite with a broken string.
The Weng brothers were greatly surprised by the novelty and had a natural affinity for this new equipment.
Time is precious, so He Lingchuan briefly taught how to use it, and then demonstrated it himself——
First free fall from the cliff, then unfold the wing suit and use the wind to glide.
It sounds easy, but this skill requires many times of practice. This method of playing by the Weng brothers is purely a matter of sharpening their skills in battle. Whether they have learned it or failed can only be judged by the flight results of the two of them.
Although it is dangerous, the Weng brothers also know that this method is the most time-saving. At the moment, escaping from Xiaotao Villa is the first priority, so the two of them took a deep breath and jumped off the cliff together!
…
When Qi Yunsheng received the news and rushed over, the entire hall was already burned to the bone. The fire was still there, but it was not as fierce as before.
Xue Zongwu's headless body fell in front of the hall, and no one dared to collect it.
Qi Yunsheng had already digested the news of the death of his beloved disciple and son-in-law on the road. At this time, he ran to Xue Zongwu's body and squatted down to take a look:
"Where are his side weapons? Those purple pumpkin hammers!"
The Qi Mansion guard who had just witnessed Xue Zongwu's murder replied: "It seems, it seems that it was taken away by the murderer!"
Qi Yunsheng narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure?"
"Uh..." the guard hesitated. The battle between Xue Zongwu and Emperor Jiuyou just now was lightning-fast. He was far away and couldn't see clearly. General Xue was beheaded, everyone was too shocked, and the background was blazing.
It can be said that there are countless eye-catching scenes in the main hall. Who would pay attention to the whereabouts of a pair of weapons?
Another guard quickly said: "Nine...the murderer searched for something on General Xue's body!"
"Have you searched for it?" Qi Yunsheng immediately leaned over, "Torch!"
The two guards quickly brought the torch closer.
In the light of the fire, Qi Yunsheng simply took out all Xue Zongwu's belongings and placed them on the ground.
The storage bag on the waist, several broken protective instruments, the necklace around the neck...
There are several things missing, the most important thing is——
"'Smooth Sailing' is gone." He turned around and ordered, "Bring the red box from my room."
The personal servant responded and ran away quickly.
Qi Yunsheng then walked forward with a cold face: "Follow me!"
Like the man in black armor, he also strode towards the raging fire. The tongues of fire wanted to suck him in, but Qi Yunsheng took out a sapphire gourd, broke off half a soapberry branch from somewhere, and dipped it in the sapphire gourd.
Some water, sprinkle it forward——
There was a "chi" sound, a large cloud of white steam came out, and the tongue of fire shrank back.
Qi Yunsheng sprinkled water along the way, and the sea of ​​fire gave way step by step along the way, and soon gave way to a road filled with black smoke.
Everyone behind quickly followed.
By the time Qi Yunsheng walked past the ruins of the dilapidated hall, the fire had been extinguished.
Just after passing the main hall, two incompetent disciples ran down the mountain road and happened to meet up with their master.
They looked ashamed.
Even though he knew the result, Qi Yunsheng still asked: "Didn't you catch up with anyone?"
The two of them murmured yes.
Just now they climbed over the side rock, crossed the burning hall, and continued to chase the three men in black.
But those three people had disappeared from the back cliff.
Regardless of whether they jumped or flew over, they were gone without a trace.
Qi Yunsheng exhaled heavily, unable to hide the anger on his face.
Sniper and kill the generals of the dynasty, burn down Xiaotao Mountain Villa, which force is so rampant!
But I chose today, when Xiaotaoshan Villa was full of guests.
Bao Xin whispered: "Master, there are more on the mountain, and..."
"What are you hesitating about?" Qi Yunsheng said angrily, "Speak clearly if you have something to say!"
The two disciples looked at each other, and Bao Xincai said: "Come and see, it's at the mountain col ahead."
Qi Yunsheng strode forward, and as soon as he turned the corner of the mountain, there was a pole standing in front of him, with a human head stuck on it. His eyes were wide open, and his hair was messy in the night wind.
Although his face was covered with blood, Qi Yunsheng recognized it immediately, this was Xue Zongwu!
There is also a piece of white cloth on the pole, fluttering in the wind, with sixteen large bloody characters on it:
"The crimes are so heinous that they are too numerous to describe! God's law is clear and retribution will not be satisfactory!"
Except for the evening breeze, the atmosphere at the scene seemed to have solidified. There were more than a hundred people behind Qi Yunsheng and there was total silence.
This scene is really impactful. It was General Xue who did this to his enemies in the past.
Seeing this head, everyone believed that General Xue was really dead and was beheaded by the legendary "Nine Nether Emperor" in public!
Is there really such a thing as retribution?
Those who kill will always be killed.
Many people subconsciously touched the back of their necks and quietly took a few steps back.
"This is unreasonable!" Qi Yunsheng tore off the white cloth and removed Xue Zongwu's head with his own hands.
He was also very distraught. A high official at the border, Yao Wang Ai Jiang, was killed in Xiaotaoshan Villa before Yao Wang Shoudian, which would definitely cause an uproar.
If Xue Zongwu is alive, many things can be covered up; if he is dead, there is no guarantee that no one in the royal court will start to trace the aftermath. What's more, Xue Zongwu offended many powerful people during his lifetime, and the interests between Qi Yunsheng and Xue Zongwu are all over.
Everyone knows.
Qi Yunsheng could predict that endless troubles would come to his door later.
He tried to calm down and summoned people over: "Inform the county government and ask them to carry out the search with all their strength!"
Will the murderer of Xue Zongwu be caught by the county government? Qi Yunsheng himself thinks it is unlikely.
But just because you can't do some things doesn't mean you can't do them.
There is hard work even if there is no credit, at least the efforts must be seen.
The servants rushed to deal with it, and Qi Yunsheng said to the people behind him: "Has anyone seen with their own eyes the whole story of General Xue's murder? Tell me the whole story."
So the guards who had just escaped from the fire stood up and, together with Bao Xin and Fu Wending, described the battle on the roof and in the Fire Palace.
Qi Yunsheng listened carefully and interrupted several times to ask questions, and his mind became more and more suspicious:
The murderer of Xue Zongwu was powerful in combat, had supernatural powers, and had all kinds of incredible methods. He could even capture Xue Zongwu's white flames with ease.
Qi Yunsheng knew how bad-tempered that little monster was.
So, is the murderer really the "Nine Nether Emperor" who has been in the limelight recently?
At this time, another villager came to report that there were abnormalities in the ruins of the main hall.
Qi Yunsheng turned around and walked back.
He built this hall as a dojo for himself, but he didn't expect it to be burned down within half a year.
The fire has been extinguished, and the original exquisite, beautiful and ingenious palace scene has now turned into broken wood and tiles with a smell of burnt fragrance. The skeleton of the main hall has also collapsed, half of it fell to the ground, and the other half was barely hanging up.
The pair of bronze animal sculptures given by the emperor in front of the palace were also melted by the white flames, and were beyond recognition. Only the tall base survived.
This is where the exception occurs:
On the wide bronze base, a relief sculpture with the head of a dragon appeared out of thin air. It looked ferocious and majestic, as if it was about to burst out of the seat and soar into the nine heavens in the next second.
Of course Qi Yunsheng knew what the dragon looked like, so he subconsciously reached out to touch it.
It's like it was made in heaven, without any trace of carving, and it doesn't look like it was made by supernatural powers.
The men in black and Xue Zongwu had a fierce battle just now, and they had no time to come here to mess around. So, the dragon head relief on the bronze base grew naturally, just like in the legend?
Bao Xin murmured: "The one who killed Senior Brother Xue was really Emperor Jiuyou?"
Not fake?
Thinking about it this way, he was still a little scared.
Fu Wending also said: "I heard that the two men in black acted sloppily, it seems they were just a ploy to lure the enemy."
Alas, those two people pretended to be fools so much. Xue Zongwu spent his whole life hunting geese, but he didn't expect that he was pecked in the eye by a goose in the end.
Qi Yunsheng remained silent as his thoughts deepened.
There are countless evil people in the world, why did Emperor Jiuyou choose Xue Zongwu as his target?
He claimed that he wanted to kill all the evil people and uphold justice for heaven, but there must be a selection criteria for who to kill and who not to kill, right?
Although Qi Yunsheng has been retired for many years, his eyes and ears are still sharp. He has not missed any major events that happened in the west of Yao Kingdom.
So he knew that the targets killed by Emperor Jiuyou in the past had distinct characteristics. They were all evil people, but their combat power was not considered tyrannical -
In Qi Yunsheng's opinion, he can do it himself.
Why did Emperor Jiuyou choose the most difficult target to kill this time, the one from Yao Kingdom?
Are you responding to recent rumors?
Or is there a deeper purpose?
There is a dragon head on the bronze pedestal. In the legend, this is almost the sign of the appearance of Emperor Jiuyou. It is iron-clad. So, the act of killing Xue Zongwu was just "doing justice for heaven" and did not involve anything else?
Qi Yunsheng has actually always been interested in the "Nine Nether Emperor".
Like other superiors, he has been trying to figure out the purpose of Emperor Jiuyou's actions.
There must be a reason for people to do things.
If you find out this reason, you can also find out the trajectory of Emperor Jiuyou's actions.
He looked at the bronze base, turned his eyes slightly, and suddenly pointed at the dragon head totem and said to Fu Wending: "Child it off!"
Legend has it that after Emperor Jiuyou eliminates evil, this dragon head relief will exist for three days? He will dig it up now!
