Chapter 188
Xigou suddenly thought about it and responded: "Yes, the first wave of people who came to kill you knew Green Peony. Green Peony may also know them, but she was afraid of getting involved in trouble, so she escaped in advance."

Fang Zhixing was silent for a while and said thoughtfully: "No matter what, Green Peony won't show up in a short time.

Even if the Shen family finds her, the most valuable information she can provide is the obvious feature that I carry an extremely ugly wolf. "

Xigou was startled at first, couldn't help but shuddered, and choked out: "Wait a minute, you've been disguising yourself and being able to hide your whereabouts, but I've been running around naked!"

He suddenly realized that if the Shen family wanted to track down Fang Zhixing, they might start by tracking him down.

Xigou suddenly became furious. He didn't want to be targeted by a small and powerful family.

"How to do?"

Xigou was anxious. He could play with Fang Zhixing, but he couldn't risk his life with him.

There can be no bottom line in being a human being.

You must never have a sense of boundaries as a dog!
"Scared."

Fang Zhixing smiled disapprovingly and said disdainfully: "Have you forgotten that there are 'wolf riders' in this world, and I am not the only one who travels with a bad wolf by my side."

He sneered: "If I were the Shen family, after finding this clue, the first person to be suspected would definitely be the Wolf Cavalry."

Xigou blinked his dog eyes, and the figures of the wolf cavalry appeared in his mind. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said with an embarrassed smile: "I look down upon others, and I'm not afraid of the Shen family. I'm not worried that you will be exposed because of me." What?"

Fang Zhixing acted as if he hadn't heard anything and said straight away: "After you go back, just stay in Yixiangzhai and try not to show your face."

"Row!"

The little dog didn't want to come out, so he happily agreed.

One person and one dog took advantage of the darkness and quietly left Fenglei Camp and gradually drifted away.

The night passed quickly.

In the morning, it was cloudy and rainy.

It was raining heavily and there was water everywhere on the ground.

In the dim sky, Fenglei Camp ushered in a new day.

Suddenly, chaotic and noisy footsteps came from all directions, breaking the quiet morning.

A large number of warriors wearing uniforms in white uniforms surrounded Fenglei Camp aggressively, blocking every intersection and only allowing entry but not exit.

Time passed little by little.

When the sky dawned, a group of hunters planned to go to the fourth-level restricted area to start a day of hunting, but suddenly found that the gate was blocked and no one was allowed to leave.

For a time, the huge camp fell into chaos.

Afterwards, the white uniforms killed some of the troublesome hunters without hesitation.

At this time, the others saw that the situation was not good, and immediately became honest and dispersed, not daring to make any more noise.

Soon, a fast horse came galloping and broke into Tingyu Xiaozhu.

The person riding on the horse is a middle-aged woman, luxuriously dressed and with an extraordinary temperament.

She turned over and dismounted, looked at the two-story attic that was burned to ashes, fell to her knees in despair, dug her hands into the ashes, and shouted in a hissing voice: "Yue'er, my Yue'er!"

The sound of crying is moving.

Soon, a tall and tall middle-aged man came to the woman's side.

The expression on his face was extremely cold, and there was a heart-stopping gloom in his pupils.

"Master of the house, third lady!"

Another middle-aged man in white came forward, knelt on one knee, bowed his head and bowed.

The people he met were the head of the Shen family, Shen Yutang, and the third wife, Ruan Juanhua.

Shen Yutang said: "Tell me, what is going on?"

The middle-aged man in white continued: "Last night, a servant rushed to the house on horseback and told me that something happened to Tingfeng Xiaozhu. I immediately came over to check and found that everyone in the house had been killed. Master Zhiyue was also missing. It is suspected that he was killed in the fire."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and then a servant in gray ran forward and knelt down on the ground.

The servant's face was full of panic, and he said in a trembling voice: "Last night, the villain had a stomachache, so he went to the hospital for treatment and prescribed a medicine. When he came back, he saw a fire in the house.

The villain hurriedly ran into the gate, but stepped on a pool of blood and slipped, falling onto his butt.

The villain soon discovered that the concierge died at the door, several nursing staff also died, and everyone died. "

The servant became more and more frightened as he spoke. He covered his mouth and almost vomited.

Shen Yutang interrupted: "Have you seen the body of my son Zhiyue?"

"no!"

The servant shook his head and said: "The attic where the young master is located was burned the most by the fire. It had already collapsed when the villain came back."

There was great turmoil in Shen Yutang's eyes, and he hesitated: "Perhaps, my son Zhiyue went out, he was not killed, and he escaped by luck."

The middle-aged man in white lowered his head and said sadly: "Master, I have investigated and found that the young master did not go out last night."

"Husband, Yue'er is dead!"

Suddenly, the third lady spoke. She pulled out a jade tablet and a broken sword from a pile of ashes.

"Yueer always carries this jade token with him, and this broken sword is also a weapon he never leaves his hand."

The more the third lady talked, the more she collapsed. Her beautiful face turned pale, her pear blossoms were wet with rain, her body couldn't stop shaking, her eyes suddenly blackened, and she passed out.

Shen Yutang supported the third lady and ordered her servants to send her to rest.

He picked up the broken sword and just glanced at the fracture. His eyes couldn't help but widen in circles and he said in shock: "What a smooth fracture. This is definitely the mark of a third-level weapon!"

"Level [-] weapon?!"

The middle-aged man in white was stunned.

To be honest, with the background of one of the eight major members of the Shen family, there are only a few third-level weapons, which is not enough to be collected at one hand.

The person who killed Shen Zhiyue actually owned a third-level weapon, so his identity must be either rich or noble, and his status was extraordinary.

Shen Yutang asked: "Have you found any clues?"

The middle-aged man in white replied: "Because of the fire and the rain, there are very few clues. However, the servants who were killed were all bitten to death. They seemed to be some kind of strange beasts, and their teeth were highly poisonous. .”

Shen Yutang frowned and said, "Oh, did the murderer bring a strange beast with him? Strange beasts are rebellious and difficult to tame, and there are not many strange beasts that can be tamed."

The middle-aged man in white was convinced and nodded: "It is almost certain that the murderer kept a strange beast as a pet, which can assist him in killing people."

Shen Yutang's eyes flashed and he said thoughtfully: "Where are the footprints? Can you tell what kind of strange beast it is from the footprints?"

The middle-aged man in white replied: "Because of the rain, the footprints are very blurry. I can only roughly judge that the strange beast has four legs."

"A four-legged beast..."

Shen Yutang instantly thought of several possibilities, including wolves, four-legged snakes, cats, etc.

But he couldn't determine which kind of strange beast it was. He said straight away: "It should be rare and eye-catching for a man and a beast to appear in the camp. Many people must have seen them and offered me a reward to find witnesses."

The middle-aged man in white continued: "My subordinates have already released the news."

Shen Yutang nodded in approval and asked, "What else?"

The middle-aged man in white said: "Last night, the Mingyue Inn also caught fire, and before the fire, someone heard the sound of fighting."

Shen Yutang stood up and walked with his hands behind his back: "The Mingyue Inn and Tingyu Xiaozhu caught fire at the same time. This can't be a coincidence."

Speaking of this, Shen Yutang suddenly felt that something was missing. He looked around and asked, "Where are the people from Wusetang? Why haven't they come yet?"

The middle-aged man in white replied: "I have sent someone to notify Wusetang, but for some reason, their people have not arrived."

After about half an hour...

Someone from Wuse Hall finally arrived and reported: "The five hall masters suddenly went out last night and have not returned yet. Their whereabouts are unknown. The subordinates have been trying their best to search for them." Shen Yutang's face changed and he said in surprise: "Five living people together When you go out, you don’t know anything?”

The man replied tremblingly: "The five hall masters acted secretly and did not inform anyone."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man in white immediately checked around and came back to report: "I asked, no one ordered Wusetang to do anything last night."

Shen Yutang was puzzled and said deeply: "The person who can drive the five hall masters of Wuse Hall to dispatch at the same time must be a senior member of my Shen family..."

Suddenly, he thought of something and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Could the person who commanded Wusetang be my son Zhiyue?"

The middle-aged man in white couldn't help but trembled, and said: "It's possible! The young master may have encountered some difficulty, and the five of them need to work together to solve it, but something happened during the period, causing the young master to be killed."

Shen Yutang gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid those five from Wusetang have also been killed."

At this time, many direct descendants of the Shen family arrived, including the eldest lady and the eldest son Shen Zhiyan, among others.

Shen Zhiyue was killed, which caused a huge shock.

"Other than that group of rebels, who else would dare to do this to a disciple of a wealthy family?"

"The one who dares to kill the direct descendants of the clan without any scruples can only be another more powerful clan!"

"Which family in Qinghe County is the most hostile to my Shen family?"

Everyone speculated who the murderer was.

……

……

Yixiangzhai!
It rained nonstop.

After noon, Fang Zhixing woke up, yawned, and felt full of energy again.

He traveled all night, and when he came back, he fell asleep.

"Hongye, I've been away for the past two days. Do you have any new tasks?"

Fang Zhixing got up, got dressed, walked downstairs, entered the study, and sat on a chair.

Hongye brought a cup of hot tea and replied softly: "Well, there was a new task yesterday afternoon, and I asked Ma Zhengming to do it."

Fang Zhixing took a sip of tea, took the roll and unfolded it.

"Immediately go to Baihe Lake, 190 miles south of the city, pretend to be an assassin and attack Yan Hongtao. After scaring her, you can escape."

Fang Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly and said speechlessly: "Why is it this Yan Hongtao again!"

Hongye laughed and said: "Yan Hongtao is Tian Taixing's darling. As long as something happens to Yan Hongtao, Tian Taixing will be trapped and unable to do anything."

Fang Zhi knew it and responded: "This task is very simple, Ma Zhengming should be able to do it."

Hongye nodded and smiled: "Well, don't worry, this task has been successfully completed."

At this point, she added softly, "I didn't tell the eldest son and the eldest lady about your departure, Master Zhai. They didn't know that you went out to do private things."

Fang Zhixing felt happy.

Hongye has always been a loyal servant to Luo Keji and Dong Minzhu.

Her daily job, in addition to assisting Fang Zhixing, is to monitor Fang Zhixing's every move and report to the two masters at any time.

But now she is gradually wavering and leaning towards Fang Zhixing.

"Is this the long-lasting love?"

Fang Zhixing felt extremely happy in an instant. He untied his jade belt with ease, pulled Hongye over and held her head down.

Hongye was so irritated that she scratched her eyes resentfully before Zhixing, bowed her head in submission and opened her little cherry mouth.

Two days passed in a flash.

That afternoon, Fang Zhixing once again received an invitation to a cocktail party from Miss Wu.

Fang Zhixing had nothing to do anyway, so he went to join in the fun, just to kill time.

He walked slowly into the hall.

As expected, the hall was full of people again and very lively.

Fang Zhixing was still the same, holding a glass of wine and standing in the corner, like an outsider.

"Are you sure? Shen Zhiyue was killed?"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise reached his ears.

Fang Zhixing's expression remained unchanged and his ears perked up.

Not far away, several young ladies were chatting animatedly.

"Well, Shen Jiaojiao and I are good best friends who talk about everything. She told me this news personally."

"How could it be? Shen Zhiyue must be in the Four Birds Realm. He is very powerful. Who can kill him?"

"I don't know. The Shen family is using all their resources to track down the murderer. However, there are rumors that the murderer is suspected to be a master of beast control and has a strange beast around him."

"The range is quite large. I also have a strange animal, a cute short-eared rabbit."

"Haha, I have a fat-clawed cat. It has plump paws and is super cute!"

……

The hot topic of conversation among several ladies quickly shifted from murder to raising pets.

Fang Zhixing restrained his mind and drank alcohol carelessly.

"one person?"

Suddenly, someone came forward.

Fang Zhixing turned his head and saw that the person walking over was Mr. Lu Yu from the Wu League.

Fang Zhixing put on a smile, lowered his posture, lowered his head and said with a smile: "I've seen Mr. Lu, I'm disrespectful."

Lu Yu turned around, stood against the wall, and sighed softly: "Actually, like you, I don't belong to this circle. They are either rich or powerful, but I am just a person in the world."

Fang Zhixing flattered him continuously and said, "What are you saying? You are being too modest. You are the hope of the future of the Martial Alliance, and everyone respects you."

Lu Yu smiled and said: "You're not bad either. I heard that your charged slash is amazingly powerful. Let's compare it when we have time."

Fang Zhixing said evenly: "A humble trick cannot reach the level of elegance."

Lu Yu seemed to just mention it casually, without taking it too seriously. He quickly changed the topic and whispered: "Have you heard that Shen Zhiyue, a direct descendant of the Shen family, was killed."

He made a motion of wiping his neck, and there was some undisguised joy in his eyes.

"really?!"

Fang Zhixing's expression changed in astonishment and he said in disbelief: "Who is so brave and dares to kill a member of the clan? This is a serious crime that will be punished by the nine clans!"

Lu Yu pouted and said: "There have been a lot of rumors outside. Some people have pointed the finger at our Wu Meng, saying that the murderer is a member of the Wu Meng, and even threatened to force the Wu Meng to hand over the murderer."

Fang Zhixing continued: "The Martial Alliance has surrendered long ago and follows the rules. It is absolutely impossible to do such an outrageous thing."

Lu Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It would be great if everyone thought like you, but it's a pity!"

Fang Zhixing remained silent for a while and asked: "In Mr. Lu's opinion, who could be the murderer?"

The corners of Lu Yu's lips curled up, and she laughed softly: "My guess is that it might be a dog biting a dog."

Fang Zhixing blinked and said, "You mean, this is an internal fight between the clans?"

Lu Yu nodded slightly and said: "The relationship between the sects and clans is very delicate. It is not a calm situation, let alone a well and a river."

He mentioned: "Right now, the Luo family and the Tian family are fighting fiercely, and the Shen family is a small family supported by the court and is on the side of the Tian family."
