Chapter 273 The Awakening Huo Tianqing

 Early the next morning, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou entered Taiyuan City and came to Tianquan Temple.

 “How?” Dugu Yihe asked.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "It's true that King Jinpeng and Shangguan Danfeng have died a long time ago, at least for several months."

Dugu Yihe said calmly, "Who is the murderer?"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed again, "Shangguan Feiyan."

“Who is Shangguan Feiyan?” Dugu Yihe asked.

“Shangguan Feiyan is the granddaughter of Shangguan Jin.” Lu Xiaofeng said, “She is the one pretending to be Shangguan Danfeng who appears these days.”

Dugu Yihe looked at Lu Xiaofeng, "Did you kill her?"

Ye Xiuzhu's eyes lit up when she saw Lu Xiaofeng said with a bitter smile, "She is missing."

Dugu Yihe stared at Lu Xiaofeng without saying anything, so Lu Xiaofeng could only tell her what happened when she went back.

Immediately afterwards, the fake King Jinpeng died, Shangguan Feiyan appeared, threatened Hua Manlou and Zhu Ting and his wife, and asked Lu Xiaofeng to kill Ximen Chuixue.

Did Huo Xiu deliberately not tell her this?

 Huo Xiu was using Shangguan Feiyan and Huo Tianqing, and it would have made sense not to tell her about it. But Shangguan Feiyan knew that Huo Xiu knew the secret but hid it from her. Didn't she keep a close eye on it?

unless…

The thing is obvious, only she has been a knight-errant in Shanxi for a long time, and the other three women have no interaction with Huo Tianqing at all.

Su Shaoying said, "When Master told Lu Xiaofeng the secret of the six toes of the Golden Peng King the day before yesterday, apart from Master, me, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, you were the only four present."

 So she collapsed.

Next, Huamanlou appeared, but Lu Xiaofeng let Shangguan Feiyan go, and then Shangguan Feiyan disappeared.

 Lu Xiaofeng nodded, "Yes."

 The sweat on Ye Xiuzhu's temples was clearly visible, and then she found that Dugu Yihe and Su Shaoying's eyes were all focused on her.

 But at the same time, Zhu Ting and his wife and Shangguan Xueer were also missing.

Gee, everyone has their own thoughts!

"Yes, I shouldn't ask you." Dugu Yihe nodded, and then looked at the four Ma Xiuzhen women, "Can any of you tell me who the person who tipped off Shangguan Feiyan was?"

Similar to the original work, when Lu Xiaofeng went back, he found that the legs of the fake Jinpeng King had been cut off, and then he helped Shangguan Xueer dig up Shangguan Danfeng's body in the garden.

Su Shaoying was actually a little curious in her heart, wondering whether Shangguan Feiyan really didn't know or was just pretending not to know. After all, it was Huo Xiu, not Huo Tianqing, who was really accomplices with her.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "I originally thought that the murderer would come to find me, but I didn't expect that he kidnapped Zhu Ting and the boss's wife."

Ma Xiuzhen’s four girls were horrified, “Us!”

However, Shangguan Feiyan ended up missing instead of dead, which means that Huo Xiu did not kill her.

Why?

Does Huo Xiu know that we have met Huo Tianqing, and that without him there is no way to frame Huo Tianqing?

"So..." Dugu Yihe asked, "You still don't know who is behind the scenes?"

 Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "Who is the mastermind behind this? You shouldn't ask me now."

Dugu Yihe's eyes flickered, "You said Shangguan Feiyan doesn't know that King Jinpeng has six toes?"

Shangguan Feiyan actually had the intention of using Lu Xiaofeng and Huo Tianqing to get rid of Huo Xiu!

That's right. What Shangguan Feiyan loves is money. Even after Huo Xiu dies, the money still belongs to her. Just by looking at Shangguan Feiyan subconsciously calling Ye Xiuzhu a bitch, you can see that Huo Tianqing is more satisfactory to her than Huo Xiu.

 Ma Xiuzhen and the four women looked at each other in confusion, "Us?"

Ye Xiuzhu's body softened and she immediately fell to her knees, "Master..."

Ma Xiuzhen, Sun Xiuqing, and Shi Xiuxue looked at Ye Xiuzhu in disbelief. They never expected that there was a traitor hidden among their sisters.

"Three..." Shi Xiuxue didn't know what to call Ye Xiuzhu for a moment, so she couldn't help but pull up Ye Xiuzhu's collar and yelled, "The surnamed Huo almost killed the master!"

Ye Xiuzhu's eyes were evasive, her eyes were blurred with tears, and she was too frightened to speak.

 “It’s Huo Tianqing.” Dugu Yihe said calmly.

"It's Huo Tianqing." Lu Xiaofeng felt very painful because he had regarded Huo Tianqing as a friend. Dugu Yihe suddenly stood up and held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand.

Lu Xiaofeng said hurriedly, "My friend is still in his hands."

Dugu Yihe narrowed his eyes, "Old Tianqin merged with hundreds of schools of thought and formed his own line. He was already powerful in the martial arts world fifty years ago. The power of the Phoenix Hand back then was still higher than that of your Lingxi Finger today. "

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Huo Tianqing is not an old man."

Dugu Yihe looked at Lu Xiaofeng, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll let you take action first."

 “Thank you!” Lu Xiaofeng said with cupped hands.

Huo Tianqing almost killed Dugu Yihe. Dugu Yihe had sufficient reasons to take action. Lu Xiaofeng's friend was not his friend, so Lu Xiaofeng had to express his gratitude.

 Then Lu Xiaofeng left.

 …

Dugu Yihe glanced at Ye Xiuzhu expressionlessly, and then looked at Su Shaoying, "Do you still think Huo Xiu is suspicious?"

Ye Xiuzhu's heart skipped a beat, and the three girls, Ma Xiuzhen, couldn't help but look at Su Shaoying.

Huo Xiu is also suspected?

Su Shaoying said, "Whether Huo Xiu is suspected or not depends on whether Huo Tianqing can produce evidence."

 Dugu Yihe thought about Su Shaoying's previous analysis, and a thought came into his mind. Huo Xiu's suspicion was indeed still difficult to remove. After all, there were still many things that didn't make sense at this time.

Shangguan Feiyan should not know the relationship between King Jinpeng and the three of them, so why did he make such a plan that was fake at first glance and determined not to let anyone tell the truth?

“Do you think Huo Tianqing can produce evidence?” Dugu Yihe asked.

"Then it depends on whether Huo Tianqing will doubt Huo Xiu." Su Shaoying said with a smile.

Dugu Yihe was a little surprised, "Did you make Huo Tianqing doubt Huo Xiu?"

Su Shaoying said matter-of-factly, "Isn't this an obvious thing?"

Dugu Yihe pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then let's wait."

Ma Xiuzhen and the other girls looked at Dugu Yihe and then at Su Shaoying. Why was Su Shaoying so aggressive? Now the master has also begun to tell riddles. They always feel that their brains are not enough.

 But now is not the time to worry about Huo Tianqing or Huo Xiu.

Ma Xiuzhen looked at Ye Xiuzhu, and finally asked tentatively, "Master..."

Dugu Yihe said coldly, "Bring it back to Emei and deal with it according to your own rules."

Ye Xiuzhu's face was pale. She informed Huo Tianqing and colluded with him to kill the division. Naturally, there was only one outcome. She never wanted to be publicly executed in front of the entire mountain.

　　That’s the case…

Not long after Ye Xiuzhu committed suicide, Dugu Yihe and Su Shaoying met Lu Xiaofeng again.

 Lu Xiaofeng’s face looked very ugly.

 “What happened?” Dugu Yihe asked.

“Shangguan Feiyan is dead. He died in Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion.” Lu Xiaofeng said.

 “Where are Zhu Ting and his wife?” Su Shaoying asked.

“They are also in Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion. They have been saved.” Lu Xiaofeng said.

Su Shaoying raised her eyebrows, and Ma Xiuzhen asked angrily, "Where is Huo Tianqing?"

It is true that Ye Xiuzhu is a traitor, but after being sisters for more than ten years, Ma Xiuzhen has already settled this account on Huo Tianqing's head.

Lu Xiaofeng's tone was strange, "He took Shanxi Yan, Shanxi Shuangxiu and the Seven Heroes of the Market to find Huo Xiu to avenge Shangguan Feiyan."
