Chapter 135 Clues

It's getting dark.

The atmosphere in Qinglian Villa near Jiang'an Pier is solemn.

Between the white walls and blue tiles, dozens of Qinglian Gang thugs stood silently, listening to a sad word inside the wall:

"Conscience of heaven and earth, I have nothing to do with Young Master Ye from Tianshui Bridge. He chopped off these two arms. Even if Master Cheng beat me to death, he won't come. This is considered What the hell is going on..."

There were no lights on in the main hall, making the light slightly dim.

Yang Guan, with his arms hanging around his neck, was sitting neatly on the chair on the side. The grievance and anger on his face could probably fill several pages.

The nave, which was hacked to pieces by Night Terror Hall last month, has just been repaired, leaning on a long-handled copper hammer.

The copper hammer is like a golden melon, as tall as a person, and its long handle is dark and shiny.

Sitting on the mahogany Taishi chair next to him was a sturdy man, dressed in a brocade robe, but he did not look elegant or a businessman at all. His majestic shoulders and back looked like a tiger and bear sitting on the chair.

The man's name is Cheng Shilu, the leader of the founding sect of Tiefuling in Yunzhou. Like his younger brother, he is also bald, but his body is a whole lot bigger. He looks about the same as Tu Jiuji in "Niu Head Horse Noodles", holding a teacup The posture is not holding it, but holding the tea cup with two fingers and blowing slowly:

"Huh~"

The sound was like the panting of a cow or horse.

In the world of martial arts, being big does not necessarily mean being strong, but with such a large amount of flesh, you don't need to think about how much hard work is hidden under a body of flesh and tendons.

Yang Guan was sitting not far away. His originally strong figure looked like a malnourished dwarf in comparison. He explained innocently:

"My master, Guang Hanlin, the Three Great Immortal, Master Cheng should have heard of..."

Cheng Shilu raised his tiger eyes, and although his tone was calm, he felt like he was shouting like thunder:

"Your master is from Wuzhou. When you come to Yunzhou, you have to respect me."

"That's natural. Master Cheng and his master are all Jianghu people and follow the rules. If you want to see Young Master Ye, I'll just go and invite him. Young Master Ye has been invited to sell houses and land. If he doesn't come, you will blame me. Just one leg is fine. If I'm not allowed to go out, why should Young Master Ye come?"

Cheng Shilu put down the teacup: "The day my brother and nephew were beaten, you were there and kept saying good things to Ye Jingtang..."

"My two arms are disabled, how can I dare to say bad things?"

"Then tell me, why did he give you such a good look that day and ask you to wait outside first?"

"Because he hit me, I have a long memory..."

"That means knowing that you are convinced and accept him as the leader."

Cheng Shilu looked directly at Yang Guan: "Even if you are a guard dog, he will kick you when he comes in and out. It is not something that outsiders can touch casually. This is called the rules of the world. I want to deal with you today. If he doesn't care about you, what will happen in the future? Seize the leading position in the capital?"

Yang Guan's face turned bitter: "Master Cheng, your words are too flattering to me. If I were Young Master Ye's henchman, I deserved to be beaten today, but I have nothing to do with Young Master Ye. Young Master Ye does not count. Jianghu people, they are merchants..."

Cheng Shilu seems to have a bad temper but is not as rough as he appears.

He knew that Yang Guan was wronged, and the reason why he had Yang Guan stabbed was because the man behind Ye Jingtang was Prince Jing.

Cheng Shilu had Prime Minister Li's connections behind him, so he wasn't too worried about it, but if the street fight really got into the officialdom, neither side would be happy with it.

If you want to find a place for your brother and nephew, you can only deal with the affairs of the world and use the rules of the world.

Cheng Shilu rushed over today and made inquiries. Among the people related to Ye Jingtang, they were either civilians or official officials. Only Yang Guan was considered a Jianghu man and would not go to the government if beaten.

Moreover, Yang Guan was more afraid of Ye Jing Hall than Tie Fuling. He didn't understand the rules of the world. If he really didn't come to Ye Jing Hall, then he should teach Yang Guan the rules.

Seeing that the sky had turned completely dark, Cheng Shilu said no more. He stood up with his strong body and held the long-handled copper hammer:

"it's dark."

Yang Guan's face turned pale and he quickly raised his hand: "Master Cheng, it's not like that, hehehehe..."

Seeing the copper hammer being raised, Yang Guan did not dare to resist. He just closed his eyes with a pale face and his facial features almost shrank together.

But the feeling of his leg being broken never came. Instead, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Ta...Ta...

Yang Guan opened his eyes a slit and looked at the rain curtain outside the main hall. He saw a man dressed in black robe slowly appearing at the door of the courtyard. He held a black umbrella in his hand and a long knife hanging on his waist. He was followed behind. A woman in Tsing Yi wearing a curtain hat.

"?!"

Yang Guan was shocked. He didn't expect Young Master Ye to be so generous and treat him like a bitch. He quickly stood up and bowed:

"Master Ye, do you really care about me?! This great kindness cannot be repaid..."

Ye Jingtang ignored Yang Guan, handed the umbrella to Luo Nuxia, pressed the knife and walked into the rain:

"Your Excellency is the head of Cheng Shilu Cheng?"

Cheng Shilu's eyes widened, he twisted his neck, walked towards the door, and hit the ground with a long-handled hammer, making a muffled sound of 'dong--':

"A few days ago, your boy beat me..."

Choking——

The sound of a knife interrupted the conversation.

After the Night Terror Hall confirmed the victim, he stood up and rushed directly to the door without saying a word.

Luo Ning stood at the door, stunned when she saw this scene, and said to herself: Are you in a hurry to go back and recuperate? Let me say a few words about the situation...!

Cheng Shilu really didn't expect that this stupid young man's temper was even more violent than his own. When he saw Ye Jingtang coming at him with a knife without hesitation, his face became angry and he hit the door directly with a long-handled copper hammer:

"drink!"

clang--

Ye Jingtang drew the sword with his right hand, and the blade struck the copper hammer. The long sword was instantly pushed away by the huge force, but his right elbow pressed against the back of the sword.

Cha——

A ray of sparks burst out from the main hall, frightening Yang Guan and swooping to the side.

Ye Jingtang used his elbow as a fulcrum to support the sword, causing the hammer to slice to the right.

The moment he shifted his body, the handle of the knife was sent into his left hand. The tip of the knife moved forward, and it was a swift forward thrust.

Cha——

With a muffled sound, the tip of the knife stabbed directly into Cheng Shilu's chest. It penetrated more than two fingers into the flesh, but it was difficult to penetrate even an inch further.

The blade penetrated the flesh, and the eyes of the four people present flashed with astonishment.

When Ye Jingtang came over, he had already discussed with Luo Nuxia how strong Shilu's skin was, but after he actually stabbed him with a knife, he realized that this guy was no different from the one wrapped in iron. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a complete She Long.

But when Cheng Shilu was stabbed in the chest by a knife, he was shocked to realize that this young man who had just emerged was much more powerful than his brother said. Just by this knife that was as fast as thunder, he could tell that he was completely on the same level as him. , and may even be stronger.

After all, the strength of Cheng Shilu is that he is invulnerable, and his body is as strong as a mountain. If he can be as good as the iron-armed Wuchang She Long, he should arm-wrestle with the "Fighting Leader" Jiang Zahu. How could he? Just a small leader in Yunzhou.

Sensing that the momentum was not right, Cheng Shilu's tiger eyes that he used to scare the juniors immediately turned into caution. His muscles surged all over his body, and while he strode back, the copper hammer swept towards Ye Jingtang's waist and abdomen with all its strength.

Boom——

The golden melon and copper hammer hit the tea table. The tea table shattered immediately, and the flying pieces of wood were nailed directly into the wall.

It was difficult for Ye Jingtang to break through the defense with one strike, and he was quite wary of it at first, but when he saw that he was fierce but not swift, he could tell that there was a clear difference between this man and She Long, and that he was too biased.

Seeing that Cheng Shilu was limited by his lack of flexibility due to his body shape, Ye Jingtang ducked to the side, stabbed Cheng Shilu in the back from the blind spot, and simultaneously threw a fire stick with his left hand.

Huhu~~

Huo Zhezi was deflected when he took action, spinning in the air, igniting the flames, and accurately knocking over the lampstand in the main hall.

clatter--

Boom~

The lamp oil was turned over and lit again, and the fire illuminated the main hall.

Cheng Shilu didn't understand Ye Jingtang's meaning. He noticed that Ye Jingtang's movements were too flexible and he was holding a copper hammer while fighting and retreating. He wanted to lean against the corner to avoid being attacked from behind.

Naturally, Ye Jingtang would not give him a chance, and the sword was as powerful as the wind, forcing Cheng Shilu to move to the center of the hall.

Dang Dang Dang——

The hall was filled with the sound of swords and swords clashing, and the lamp oil that was turned over quickly ignited on the table, igniting the curtains and illuminating the hall in crimson red.

Cheng Shilu held the copper hammer in both hands and strode around, avoiding the blade while striking hard, but in an instant he had smashed several tables and chairs to pieces.

Dong Dong——

Wow——

Ye Jingtang penetrated the side of the body, inserting needles and knives into the flesh at every opportunity, but in the blink of an eye, four cuts were left on Cheng Shilu's chest, back and back, and he was observing the condition of the wounds with the help of firelight.

But the last time I rode Mr. Cheng to fight, he didn't move and I watched carefully.

Cheng Shilu in front of him was wandering around the dimly lit hall, trying to see the details clearly. It was not easy.

Ye Jingtang had just slashed a few times, but before he could study the doorway, Cheng Shilu, who was charging forward with a copper hammer, saw a strange color flash in his eyes, took a few big steps back, and raised his hand.

Ye Jingtang's blade suddenly stopped and landed more than ten feet away, his eyebrows furrowed:

"You just took a bite out of me, and you gave up after just a few blows?"

Cheng Shilu looked at Ye Jingtang for a few times, then looked at the stab wounds on the front and back of his body:

"Are you looking for my cover?"

The shield door is an area that has not been trained in horizontal kung fu and is not strong enough. The martial artist will never tell outsiders to avoid being targeted.

Night Terror Hall responded: "I cut all over the chest and back."

Cheng Shilu shook his head: "Your body skills are very good. If you cut the same place five times in a row, I will definitely give up. You cut here and there and then in the west, obviously looking for a cover. I'm not stupid. Today, you are considered to be powerful. The past grudges have been wiped out. Let's say goodbye."

After saying that, Cheng Shilu walked out the door with the copper hammer in hand.

Ye Jingtang didn't attack Cheng Shilu very much, and he only made a few small cuts with a few cuts. Judging from Cheng Shilu's size, it was equivalent to being scratched by a cat several times, which did not affect his combat power at all; but Cheng Shilu was not flexible enough and could not touch it. To him, the chance of winning if he continued to cut down was slim. He was afraid that he would be tried to leave the place where the shield door was, so it was not unreasonable to simply admit defeat.

Of course, it is also possible that Cheng Shilu noticed that he was secretly observing the wounds, and was afraid that his practice of Minglong Tu would be exposed.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he couldn't ask this matter face to face. When Cheng Shilu saw that the situation was not going well, he simply gave up and he couldn't pursue him openly.

After a moment of silence in Ye Jingtang, there was no obstruction, but Cheng Shilu strode away.

"Is this the end?"

Yang Guan, who was frightened next to him, had no idea that the 'Raging Eye King Kong', who was known for his violent temper, would run away like a girl after being touched a few times. After being stunned for a moment, he found that half of the wall was about to burn. After reacting, he quickly called his thugs to come in and put out the fire, and at the same time said:

"Young Master Ye, you are so generous. I cannot repay your kindness today..."

The Night Terror Hall didn't even bother to talk nonsense with the unlucky Yang Guan. They put away their swords and walked out of the main hall, and came to Luo Nuxia, who was also a little confused:

"Nvxia Luo, what do you think?"

Luo Ning held an umbrella and looked at the direction Cheng Shilu was leaving, and said softly:

"It's just a matter of finding a place. It's wise to admit defeat cleanly when the situation is not right. However, Cheng Shilu must have had some scruples just now. Whether it was because he was afraid of being found to cover the door or something else, it's hard to say."

After Ye Jingtang looked back, he and Luo Ning walked out of Qinglian Villa and whispered:

"Did he find out that I was studying the Golden Scale Diagram?"

Luo Ning was silent for a moment: "Not necessarily. Cheng Shilu became famous more than ten years ago, and he seems to be very talented. If you have practiced the Golden Scale Diagram for more than ten years, you will not be able to break through the defense with one sword. But if you say you haven't practiced, The body is also too strong to look like a human being, and it feels weird.”

"Could it be that you have only acquired it in recent years and have been practicing for a short period of time?"

"It's hard to say. We have to find a way to check carefully."

"It's not easy to mess around with your identity. Let's go back and discuss it first. Tiefuling is not far from Baoyuanmen. I will leave as soon as possible. In the name of Honghualou, I will go to Pingbaoyuanmen and take a look at Tiefuling. look."

Luo Ning thought for a moment: "A thoughtful person may have guessed that Honghualou will knock on Baoyuan Gate. It is too risky for you to go alone. I will accompany you."

Ye Jingtang estimated that Sanniang was worried about his safety and had the same idea, so she wanted to accompany him. After some thought:

"Go back and arrange your itinerary first. I promised to help Prince Jing investigate the case, and then went out to do private work without doing anything at all. I still have to tell Prince Jing."

"The news from Nanxiao Mountain is estimated to take three to five days to be sent back. Let's finish the matters at hand first. We will just come back to find out the identity of the murderer..."
