Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1621 The mysterious killer

"Is it an illusion?" After hearing Shi Lan's description, Tianming felt that she might be overthinking.

Maybe he painted Chitaki's mother so perfectly that it reminded Shi Lan of her own mother?
  Tianming speculated with a smile in his heart.

Shi Lan, who really couldn't think of a clue, shook her head and chose to accept the possibility proposed by Tianming:
  "Maybe it's really an illusion..."

"But we still have to be careful with that woman."

"Of course." Shao Yu nodded and replied, "We must take a long-term approach."

"Besides, in our current state... I guess we won't have a chance this time. We have to see if we can board the mirage again next time."

Then he reached out and poked Tian Ming, "And you kid, when will you recover? You won't be paralyzed for a year and a half, right?"

"Ah!" Tianming replied angrily, wanting to spit in his face, "Don't you hope your elder brother will get better!"

"I have recovered a lot now. I feel that in a few days I will be almost completely recovered and able to move freely."

"Hmph... When the time comes, you'll have to ask me, big brother, to lead the way for you, a blind man."

"Haha..." Shao Yupi twitched the corner of his mouth with a smile, "I just hope that I won't be carrying you, and you will watch the road... The combination of a blind man and a lame man is a joke. It wouldn’t be nice if it really fell on you.”

Shi Lan listened to the two brothers bickering with each other, and couldn't help but smile, and then interjected, "Don't think about this now, take a rest, we'd better find another place to hide."

In the past few days, Xinghun and Yueshen were very quiet, but the mirage was still lively.

A large number of yin and yang puppets searched for the whereabouts of Tianming and others on the ship, forcing Shi Lan and others to frequently change their hiding places.

That's all thanks to the fact that the mirage is too big, otherwise they might not be able to hide it all the time.

………………

In the city of Songhai, where Gu Xun stayed.

He was sitting in the small courtyard drinking tea and reading a book.

There were not only teapots and cups on the table, but also more than one volume of letters. The one he was holding was also a volume of letters.

Judging from the degree of wear and tear, these slips are most likely original works from early years, or copies that existed long ago. Anyway, they are not very recent.

As for what the contents of these letters are related to, only Gu Xun himself knows.

At this time, a slight sound broke through the air, breaking the silence in the courtyard.

Bai Feng floated to the ground, holding a letter in his hand.

"Sir, this is a summary of East County's recent intelligence."

Gu Xun put down the slip for the time being, raised his hand and took the letter from Bai Feng's hand. After taking a sip of tea, he started to read it calmly.

There wasn't much content on it, and Gu Xun only read ten lines at a glance, and quickly read it all.

Gu Xun basically knew all the developments in the Dongjun area in recent days, such as Tian Meng's death, Gai Nie Weizhuang becoming a suspect, or Bai Tu's encounter with Gao Jianli and others...etc.

Although he didn't know how the crisis in the farmhouse ended, he was quite clear about all the events at the beginning, and even knew more information than Liusha had compiled.

After all, he didn't interfere much with the farm affairs, so the course of this matter was naturally similar to the plot of the original work.

The only thing that was unclear was who Luo Wang sent to Dongjun this time.

The only thing that Luo Wang has on his face now is the Eight Swords of the King of Yue, which is missing the Jing Salamander, and a demon.

The Six Sword Slaves will definitely not be sent to Dongjun, and the only ones left are Zhanri and Quexie.

The people hiding the sun are now in Dongjun, and the quicksand has confirmed this. But Quexie...she went to Dongjun, but she didn't go there because of the snare.

Theoretically, Quexie is still located in the Songhai area, waiting to take over the operation of the net here after Zhao Gao leaves, and continue to monitor the Little Sage Village and the mirage.

Inside Luowang, both Zhao Gao, the leader, and the pawns running errands below all believed that Quexie was still in Songhai, and that there was indeed a 'Quexie' in Songhai.

It's hard to say whether it's the Quexie that Zhao Gao is familiar with.

This intelligence not only summarizes the information collected by the Quicksand Intelligence Network, but also integrates the information from the Shadow Secret Guard.

And now the intelligence points out that Zhang Han suspects that Luo Wang has other masters lurking in Dongjun.

If this person really exists, then he is most likely Zhao Gao's secret team that has been hiding in secret.

The power of Luo Sheng must be more than what is apparent. Gu Xun has always known it, but Gu Xun also doesn't know how many tricks Zhao Gao has hidden.

Liusha's intelligence ability is very strong, but Luowang's strength is not bad either. Zhao Gao's carefully prepared secret weapons are obviously impossible for others to discover easily.

However, it is foreseeable that Luo Wang's hidden strength will definitely not be too strong.

There are so many rookies in this world that you can sweep them all away, but the truly top masters have always been rare and you can count them on your fingers.

No matter how powerful the snare is, it can't hide just a few.

Although Gu Xun, the unidentified killer in the trap, was curious, he was even more curious about whether this killer played a certain role within the farmhouse?

"This farmhouse... is just a big hole. There are holes everywhere!" Gu Xun casually clicked on the paper in his hand, shook his head and joked.

After Bai Feng heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, do you think Tian Meng, the leader of Lieshan Hall, died at the hands of his own people?"

He is different from Mo Ya. Mo Ya rarely talks too much, but Bai Feng often can't help but be curious. It just so happens that Gu Xun rarely cares about this, which makes Bai Feng indulged.

Fortunately, Bai Feng was just talkative and didn't like to meddle in other people's business, so Gu Xun didn't care.

As for whether his problem will be bad...it won't be too late to wait until it does.

With Bai Feng's strength, the most he can do to him is himself, and the chance of affecting Gu Xun is really slim.

Gu Xun picked up the previous letter again and answered him distractedly while reading:
  "There's no doubt about that."

"With Tian Meng's strength, there are only three possibilities for him to die so quietly."

"Either he was attacked and plotted by someone who had no way of guarding against him, or he was attacked and plotted by Gai Nie Weizhuang together, or I secretly went to Dongjun to kill him."

"What do you think the truth is?"

Bai Feng understood immediately.

The third option is obviously nonsense, and the second option is possible, but Wei Zhuang Gai Nie really has no reason to kill him and intensify the conflicts among the farmers. Only the first option is the most likely.

Tian Meng became the victim of some careerists with evil intentions within the farm family, but it is hard to say what the purpose of his murderers was.

Luo Wen's hidden stake in the farmer's house had a reason to kill him, but the farmer's own people also had a reason to kill him - who wouldn't want the position of the hero?

Tian Meng and Zhu Jia, as the most ailing among the six hall masters, are also considered by everyone to be the only candidates to compete for the title of hero.

If there are other people who have ideas about this position, it is not incomprehensible that Tian Meng and the Zhu family were plotted.

Just like after Sheng Qi was framed, even though Tian Meng was the most suspicious, he did not let go of his guard against the Zhu family.
