Murong Fu sensed for a moment that he knew who the visitors were and could probably guess their purpose. His face changed slightly, and he shouted outside, "Let them come in."
After a while, seven or eight figures filed into the living room, including Taoist Mu Sang, Jiao Wan'er, Luo Daqian and other leaders of the Golden Snake Battalion. In addition, Hu Dedi, the northern chief helmsman of the Tiandihui, was also among them.
Everyone's expressions were poor, some were sad, some were lonely, some were solemn, etc. Among them, Taoist Mu Sang had the biggest change. This old man seemed to have aged dozens of years overnight, his beard and hair were withered, and his divine light was dim.
, a few wrinkles were added to the face, and the spirit of the past was completely gone.
Murong Fu glanced at everyone lightly, first said "Please sit down", and then motioned for Mei Jian to serve tea.
Just as Mei Jian was about to leave, Luo Daqian suddenly waved his hand, "No need to bother, Murong Fu, I hope you can give me an explanation for what happened last night at the Golden Snake Camp."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed slightly, and they secretly cursed this reckless man for not being able to speak. Regardless of the truth about what happened last night, this Murong Fu is not an easy person to talk to. If you are polite to him, he won't do it.
He must be polite to you, not to mention you are not polite to him.
But to everyone's expectation, Murong Fu actually sat there with a normal expression. On the contrary, the charming maid next to him stepped forward and scolded in a cold voice, "How dare you dare to treat our lord like this?
rude?"
Luo Daqian's face became angry, and he opened his mouth to retaliate, but at this moment, Taoist Mu Sang glanced at him lightly, swallowed the words on his lips, snorted, and did not speak again.
Everyone looked towards Taoist Mu Sang, but the old Taoist seemed to have no intention of speaking. He just sat on the chair to himself. Everyone had no choice but to find a place to sit down. There was silence in the hall.
After a while, the disciples of the Blood Shadow Palace served tea. Murong Fu slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Then he broke the silence and asked, "You are here, do you want to ask me why I didn't save Yuan Chengzhi last night? Or?
Do you simply suspect that I killed Yuan Chengzhi?"
Although Wen Qingqing was also present last night and should tell everyone the truth after waking up, sometimes the brain circuits of these people in the world cannot be predicted by normal logic, and when Wen Qingqing arrived last night,
Yuan Chengzhi was already dead and had been in a coma since then. She was probably confused.
Everyone looked at Taoist Mu Sang again, but he was sitting there and still had no intention of speaking. In the end, Emperor Hu De raised his hands and said, "How dare you? How dare you, Mr. Murong's words are serious, how dare we put the blame on Mr. Murong?"
On the top of my head, it’s just that King Yuan died in an unknown manner, and only Young Master was present at the scene last night. I came here just to beg Young Master to explain what happened last night, and to clear up the doubts in the hearts of all the brothers. I am very grateful."
"I can't thank you enough." Except for Taoist Mu Sang and Luo Daqian, everyone else also clasped their fists and raised their hands with pleading expressions on their faces.
Murong Fu raised his hand slightly and said calmly, "There is no need to be grateful. I may not know more about what happened last night than you. I only know that the assassin came from Japan and his martial arts skills are unfathomable. He was ordered by Wu Sangui to assassinate Yuan
Brother, it's a pity that when I arrived, it was already too late and I couldn't save Brother Yuan."
"Sure enough, it's Wu Sangui!" Emperor Hu De's expression changed slightly, as if he had expected it. Then a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. Wu Sangui could actually invite such a master. Didn't he want to kill someone?
Jiao Wan'er suddenly said, "According to Mrs. Yuan, the young master already knew before the incident that someone was going to do harm to Yuan... King Yuan. I wonder where the young master got the news? How can he be sure that the person was ordered by Wu Sangui?"
Murong Fu lowered his head and smiled, "I have my own channels for information, but I can't comment on this. Well, I'll finish it here. It's your business to believe it or not. If nothing happens, please go back."
Although there is a smile on his face, it is not difficult for anyone to hear the indifference mixed in his words.
"This..." Everyone looked at each other, obviously dissatisfied with his understatement. However, due to this guy's "evil reputation", no one dared to ask anything for a while, but no one got up.
"What? You want me to take you out?" Murong Fu's face suddenly darkened and he said very rudely.
At this time, Taoist Mu Sang, who had been silent all this time, finally made a move. He first nodded towards Emperor Hu De, and then said to Luo Daqian and others, "You guys go back first, I will talk to Mr. Murong."
Naturally, everyone in the Golden Snake Camp was dissatisfied with this arrangement. With such a big deal like the murder of the leader of the Golden Snake Camp, how could we let it go without getting to the bottom of the truth? How would we explain it to hundreds of thousands of brothers in the future?
Seeing Murong Fu's expression becoming more and more impatient, Emperor Hu De stood up and said, "That's fine, I'll take my leave now. If you have any new news, I hope you'll let me know."
Murong Fu nodded noncommittally.
The others hesitated for a moment, then stood up and left.
After everyone left, Mei Jian withdrew very wisely, leaving only Murong Fu and Taoist Mu Sang in the hall.
"If you have anything to say, Taoist Master, you might as well say it directly." Murong Fu was the first to speak.
Taoist Priest Mu Sang's expression changed, and he sighed quietly, "It must be twenty years ago. It can be said that Chengzhi grew up under the watch of a poor Taoist. This child is kind-hearted, honest, loyal, and filial, and he is considered the best in the world.
There are very few good people in this world. I didn’t expect that good people will not be rewarded. Instead of dying on the battlefield, they died at Xiao Xiao’s hands.”
"Xiao Xiao?" Murong Fu shook his head, "That's not Xiao Xiao. He is also a person with a great background. You saw what happened last night. I'm afraid not many people in the world can escape his assassination."
Taoist Priest Mu Sang's eyes flashed when he heard this, "Young master, do you know the specific origin of this person? I still hope that for the sake of past friendship, I can tell the truth to Pindao."
"What's the point of telling you?" Murong Fu spread his hands, "Everyone is dead. With that man's martial arts, no one in the Golden Snake camp can be his enemy. There is no possibility of revenge, so why bother in vain."
After a pause, he added, "It is enough for you to know that the person who killed Yuan Chengzhi was Wu Sangui."
"Wu Sangui's debt will naturally be settled!" Taoist Master Mu Sang said in a cold tone, "But the murderer cannot be let go. Even if the martial arts of the Golden Snake Camp are low, there is more than one way to take revenge."
Murong Fu's eyes flashed slightly, "Well, actually I don't know much. This person's name is Wuying Qianzang. He has been lurking in Lanling Mountain for a long time. Qingqing also knows about this."
"Qingqing also knows?"
"Yes, this person bloodbathed the Jinlong Gang Inn in Lanling Town a few months ago. Since then, I have started investigating him, but unfortunately I have had little success."
Then he picked out some of the things that happened with Kirikage Chizo several times, and naturally skipped the part about Asuka.
After hearing this, Taoist Priest Mu Sang's face became even more ugly, "Qingqing did mention this to us, but at that time we all thought that this person was in the same group as those ronin assassins, and we didn't worry about it after repelling the assassins.
I didn’t expect this person to be lurking in the mountains!”
"There are still many things that you didn't expect." Murong Fu rolled his eyes at the old man and changed the topic, "Well, people cannot be resurrected after death. Brother Yuan is dead anyway. The top priority is how to stabilize the situation. Don't forget,
Wu Sangui's army is watching with eager eyes and may come over at any time, what are you going to do?"
