Three hundred and sixtieth nine chapters are full of doubts (2)
There was deathly silence in the room. Even if a pin dropped on the ground, they could hear it clearly.
After a long silence, Shi Lianyun covered his heart and said:
"That guy did it more ruthlessly than me. He actually killed Lei Jie. This is not just to scare the snake away, this is to directly burn the haystack!"
He Qiu asked in a deep voice: "Why did he do this?"
"It is said that the Tianshan Sect learned that the three wolves from the northwest came here." Feng Changshan sat down on the stool, covered his head, and sighed deeply.
"Many years ago, the Three Wolves of the Northwest killed Lei Jie's son Lei Can. There was a blood feud between them that could not be erased. In order for the plan to proceed smoothly, Lei Jie had no choice but to die."
"But if you do that, wouldn't it make you even more in trouble?" He Qiu said, "The actions of the three northwest wolves have been leaked, so how can killing just one Lei Jie be effective?"
"Our plan is to let the three northwest wolves go up the mountain smoothly." Feng Changshan said, "As long as they arrive at Tianshan Sect, our goal has been achieved. Whether they die or live, it has nothing to do with the rest of the plan. But
The existence of Lei Jie is an accident. He will not let his son's murderer live another day, so Lei Jie will definitely go down the mountain to kill the Three Northwest Wolves."
"Just for this, it's too reckless." He Qiu frowned and said, "It's a small move but a big loss. If it doesn't happen, the whole game of chess will fall to death just because of this move."
"Everyone has been killed. It is useless to discuss this now." Shi Lianyun said, "Now, let's quickly think about what to do next."
Feng Changshan said in a deep voice: "The Tianshan Sect already knows that the Three Northwest Wolves want to kill Xu Hanying. Their intention is to invite you to enter the urn and let the Three Northwest Wolves take the initiative to jump in."
"This is no different from our plan." Shi Lianyun said, "Anyway, after they go up the mountain, whether they live or die has little to do with the plan."
"It's different." Feng Changshan said, "If the Tianshan Sect is unprepared, the three enemy brothers are enough to stir up a puddle of muddy water in the Tianshan Sect. But now that the Tianshan Sect has a back-up, the three enemy brothers will be sheep this time.
If we enter the tiger's mouth, there is no guarantee that they will not leak our information."
He Qiu said: "Then... terminate the plan?"
"inappropriate."
Feng Changshan shook his head and objected: "If we just kill Li Xin'an, it doesn't matter. But now our goal has become to seize the power of Tianshan Sect. We cannot retreat even a step, otherwise we will be doomed."
"The man on the mountain has killed Lei Jie. This is for us to see. It shows his determination and also tells us that once we retreat, our fate will be the same as Lei Jie's."
"laugh……"
Shi Lianyun smiled disdainfully: "Forget it, I'm really not afraid of what that person can do to me, but I do admire him for his courage to make a desperate move, which is very much like me."
"After talking for a long time, no solution was given." He Qiu was a little anxious, "What should we do?"
Feng Changshan frowned. In the past, he was the one who made the decision among the three of them, but now, his mind was in a mess and he couldn't think of anything.
Shi Lianyun said calmly: "In my opinion, the plan can be modified appropriately."
"How to change?" Feng Changshan asked.
"What the Tianshan Sect knows is that the Three Northwest Wolves are coming up the mountain. But they don't know that it's not just the Three Northwest Wolves who are coming here."
"Of course, they won't take precautions. The only people who can successfully reach the mountain through competitions and elections are those other than the Three Wolves of the Northwest."
Feng Changshan said in surprise: "You mean, the three of us will go up in person?"
"Yes." Shi Lianyun smiled, "Whether it's killing Xu Hanying or Li Xin'an, we can do it ourselves!"
…
Five days passed by in a hurry.
Lei Jie's body has been stored in the secret room of Tianshan Sect. Because of the high cold in Tianshan, the body can be preserved for a long time without decaying.
During these five days, the Tianshan Sect conducted a thorough search of more than 2,500 disciples. The injuries on each person's body were recounted in detail one by one, and all were imprisoned for investigation.
Individual interrogation.
However, despite such an intensive search, Lei Jie's murderer has not yet appeared. Spies sent by other sects have found out a lot. For a while, the Tianshan Sect was also at a loss.
At night, Li Xin'an tossed and turned, but could not fall asleep. He had no choice but to put on his clothes and walk out of the house.
Coincidentally, at the moment he opened the door, Murong Bai's door also opened.
"Can't sleep." Li Xin'an said hello.
Murong Bai nodded slightly: "You are the same."
"I feel that since I came to Tianshan Sect, every time I go out for a walk at night, nothing good will happen." Li Xin'an said with a wry smile.
"Why can't you sleep?" Murong Bai walked to him and the two of them walked side by side.
"What else could it be? I'm thinking about Senior Brother Lei."
Li Xin'an sighed: "Tell me, the Tianshan Sect has almost been turned upside down. Why can't even a murderer be found?"
"You always thought that the murderer was someone from the Tianshan Sect, or that he had been hiding in the mountains, but maybe, after killing the people, the murderer might not have even gone down the mountain at night."
Li Xin'an shook his head slowly and said: "No, the Tianshan Sect's investigation of people going up and down the mountain is very strict. On the night that Senior Brother Lei Jie died, all the disciples who came down the mountain were not suspected."
"It may not be a normal descent." Murong Bai said, "Maybe it is a direct jump from the cliff."
Li Xin'an frowned and said hesitantly: "It's unlikely... Who can survive jumping from the mountain here? It's just Xu Hanying, and he can't be the murderer."
The two of them had gone a long way and started to turn back.
"Speaking of which, tomorrow, the fifty people who passed the martial arts contest will go up the mountain. The death of Senior Brother Lei cannot be concealed."
Murong Bai said: "Don't worry, Tianshan Sect can handle it well."
"But it's somewhat unjustifiable for the Tianshan Sect's leader not to show up on such an important occasion."
"Retreating to practice in seclusion is enough reason to resist everything in the world."
"Then you can't make sure that the arrogant disciple tells anyone about it."
"Speaking of which, the three northwest wolves should all be among those fifty people."
Li Xin'an's voice was cold: "Yes, they are all here."
"What's the ranking of the three people?" Murong Bai asked.
"I'm not sure about this, but I heard from Senior Brother Song that they are all around the middle and not very conspicuous."
Li Xin'an sneered and said: "These three people are indeed well hidden. Unfortunately, they have no secrets from the beginning. From the moment they stepped into this town, all the actions of the three northwest wolves were revealed.
The Tianshan Sect sees it."
"The day they went up the mountain was the day the three northwest wolves disappeared."
Murong Bai said: "Do you think these three people can tell who is the person who hired them behind the scenes?"
"No matter how tough their mouths are, they can't be tougher than the Tianshan Sect's torture tools." Li Xin'an said, "When a person is in extreme pain, he cannot keep any secrets, and everything will be revealed unconsciously.
I have been in the Blood Clothes Hall since I was a child, and the success rate of interrogations in the Blood Clothes Hall is 100%! I have never seen anyone who can remain silent despite being tortured. I believe that the Three Wolves of the Northwest may have such ambitions, but they definitely do not
This ability.”
While talking, the two were about to return to their yard, but suddenly, Li Xin'an stopped and looked straight in one direction.
Murong Bai looked over alertly, pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
"It seems like someone has passed by Ouyang Lie's side."
"Really?" Murong Bai's eyes flashed, "Are you sure?"
"Well, I saw it very clearly. A figure disappeared in a flash."
Memories from many days ago suddenly appeared in Li Xin'an's mind: "Speaking of which, on the day we first went up the mountain, I also saw a black shadow disappearing into Ouyang Lie's yard."
Murong Bai asked: "Do you think there is a connection between them?"
"Maybe..."
Li Xin'an raised an eyebrow: "Go over and take a look?"
"Walk."
The two were about to leave, but a voice suddenly came from behind them:
"Mr. Murong, Mr. Li, what a coincidence."
The two of them turned around in surprise, and from the shadow between them, Song Shuping slowly walked out.
"Senior Brother Song."
"You two can't sleep either, so you went out for a walk?" Song Shuping asked.
"Yes." Li Xin'an sighed, "If the murderer can't be found, the rest of us will have trouble sleeping and eating."
"Don't worry, that day will definitely come." Song Shuping said with a smile, "The three northwest wolves are about to go up the mountain stupidly. It's time to avenge Senior Brother and Lei Can."
"Is Senior Brother Song unable to sleep because of this?" Li Xin'an asked.
"Ah... not really." A wry smile appeared on Song Shuping's face, "I was quarreled."
"Oh?" Li Xin'an said in surprise, "What's the movement?"
"I was meditating at the time, and suddenly I heard some movement outside. It seemed like someone was rushing away. Out of curiosity, I went out to check and unexpectedly saw the two young masters."
Li Xin'an and Murong Bai looked at each other and thought of the figure just now.
"Senior Brother Song." Li Xin'an said suddenly, "Did the Tianshan Sect check all the places and everyone?"
"Yes." Song Shuping said, "Oh, I just didn't check the forbidden area."
"Forbidden area?"
"It is the training place for Tianshan Sect disciples, such as Siguo Cliff in the back mountain, and the Snow Lotus Cave, the treasure of Tianshan Sect."
"Oh, that's it, I understand."
Li Xin'an smiled: "Senior Brother Song, since we can't sleep, how about having a few drinks together?"
"Of course you can." Song Shuping said, "You two gentlemen, please come with me. I still have two fine Nürong in my yard."
"In this case, we would be disrespectful."
Murong Bai glanced at Li Xin'an in surprise. He didn't understand why Li Xin'an suddenly proposed to have a drink with Song Shuping at this juncture, but he still followed him honestly.
"You two young masters, please come in." Song Shuping led them into the room and said with a smile: "This humble house is in a dilapidated state, which makes you two laugh."
"What's the matter? Senior Brother Song's house is very uniquely decorated."
Li Xin'an walked slowly in the room, looking at the place carefully. A painting on the wall attracted his attention.
This is a painting of a lady. The woman in the painting is graceful, with autumn eyes, and eyebrows like distant mountains. Just one look at her seems to be able to attract the soul of a man.
"I didn't expect that Senior Brother Song actually has such a hobby." Li Xin'an joked, "Are you often lonely and cold at night?"
"Master Li, please don't talk nonsense." Song Shuping said seriously, "The woman in the painting is my sister."
"Ah?" Li Xin'an was stunned, and then he apologized and said, "It was Li Xin'an who offended me. Please don't blame me, senior brother."
"It doesn't matter."
Murong Bai frowned and said, "Although we are younger sisters, there is something wrong with hanging my younger sister's portrait in my room."
