Chapter 8 chapter eight

Zhan Feng, nineteen years old. In his hand is a "Destiny" knife, the knife technique is fierce. Temperament stoic, ruthless. It is said that he started killing people when he was seventeen years old. Under his knife, men, women, and children were not distinguished. Anyone who he thought should be killed was cut off with a knife, and his death was extremely tragic. For this Duanleizhuang murder case, Liehuozhuang ordered Zhan Feng to come forward to solve it. The fire in the world, the dark river in the underworld. With the mysterious disappearance of An Yeluo, Anhe Palace seems to have evaporated in the world.Liehuozhuang has become the master of the rivers and lakes, and its judgment is the decision of the martial arts.

No one can defy it. And Zhan Feng had to make a judgment. Who killed the owner of Duanlei Villa, Xie Houyou. late at night. There is no city without swords in the world. The fat Dao Wuhen fiddled with the wine glass: "Zhan Feng should know that his judgment may cause chaos in the martial arts world." Dao Wuxia was dressed in a brocade and jade robe, lightly shaking the paper fan in his hand, and his smile was impeccable: "He is a very smart person." Dao Wuhen said: "Zhan Feitian's son, he shouldn't be too bad." Dao Wuxia smiled and said: "As the son of Zhan Feitian, he can't do anything wrong."

The two looked at each other and smiled. There is an indescribable meaning in the smile. Dao Wuhen drank the wine: "Then you can rest assured." Dao Wuxia shook his fan and chuckled: "Zhan Feng will definitely make the most correct judgment." early morning. Ru Ge opened the door of the shop, and brought out a basket of hot biscuits. She looked at the sky, the dark clouds were low and low, and it seemed that it would rain.Perhaps it was because of the cloudy sky, and there was no sunshine. There were very few people on the street, and there was a feeling of bleakness.

Is autumn coming soon? She felt that her chest was inexplicably congested, as if something bad was about to happen, but she couldn't say it. She took a breath, trying to drive away the strange feeling. But suddenly stopped. As if from the smoke, two people came from the east side of the street. One after the other. The person in front was twenty-five years old, carrying an ancient sword with a strange shape on his back. His face was somewhat melancholy, but his eyes were very lively.Ruge knows him, he is the top 20 killers in Liehuozhuang, and his name is Zhongli Wulei. The young man behind him had a cold breath.

Wearing a blue cloth, his body is straight and straight, his black and blue curly hair flutters gently in the morning wind, his dark eyes are indifferent and lonely. Ru Ge naturally recognized him. Zhan Feng. Gloomy morning. The air also seemed gray. Xueji Biscuit Shop. Ruge stood in a daze behind the steaming pancakes. A white bird fluttered past. Zhan Feng── It was as if he hadn't seen her. walk past her. He walked straight and indifferently in front of the basket of sesame seed cakes. The heat from the sesame seed cakes stained Ru Ge's eyelashes, and the white mist made her eyes feel wet and cold.

She clenched her fists, and suddenly greeted with a loud smile: "My lord, do you want to buy sesame seed cakes? Our sesame seed cakes are delicious and crispy!" Why pretend to turn a blind eye? Now that he has let go, how is he different from ordinary guests and pedestrians all over the street?Here, she is just a biscuit seller, and attracting customers is her most important thing. Zhan Feng stopped. He didn't expect that she would stop him, he thought she hated him.However, when he turned around and looked into her clear eyes, he suddenly knew—she had let him go. In her eyes, he was no different from thousands of passers-by, just a person she thought would buy sesame seed cakes.

Zhan Feng was cold. He lowered his eyes, no one could see the deep blue in his eyes. He stretched out his hand, with calm and strong fingers, and picked up the sesame seed cake on the top of the basket. The sesame seed cake was very hot, and his fingers trembled slightly, like waking up from a nightmare in the middle of the night. Ruge glanced at him. He smiled and asked, "Master, do you want me to wrap it up for you?" Zhan Feng didn't speak, held the sesame seed cakes in his palm, and continued to walk forward; as if he never stopped, and never bought sesame seed cakes at all.

It's just that he has always held this biscuit in his palm. The figures of the two disappeared at the corner of the street. It was cloudy. The morning breeze is very cool. Ruge supported the wooden case, closed his eyes, and felt a burst of gold stars flying in his head. At this time, Xue's voice came faintly: "Stupid girl, you forgot to collect the money." Ruge thought about it, and laughed uncontrollably: "Yes, I forgot!" Xue shook her head and sighed: "Prodigal, today I will punish you for selling sesame seed cakes all day, and you are not allowed to rest!"

Ruge replied: "Yes!" Seeing that she was in high spirits again, Xue couldn't help but also smiled. Looking at his flowery smile, Ruge felt a sudden warmth in her heart, and blurted out: "Xue, thank you." The white dress is dazzling, the smile is dazzling, Xue looked at her: "I really want to thank me, and stay with me forever." There was deep emotion in his eyes. Ruge stared at him suspiciously, and suddenly felt something was wrong. two days later. Lie Huozhuang announced to the world── The person who killed Xie Houyou was the deputy owner of Duanfeng Village and Xie Houyou's son-in-law, Cao Renqiu.

Cao Renqiu poisoned Xie Houyou's meals for a long time in order to seek the throne of the owner, so he succeeded so easily. People who knew Cao Renqiu were amazed. Cao Renqiu really didn't seem like a person who would kill his mentor and father-in-law, he always seemed very simple and kind. However, from the moment they learned of Lie Huozhuang's announcement, everyone in Jianghu believed that Cao Renqiu was the one who killed Xie Houyou.Because this conclusion was made by Lie Huozhuang. No one will doubt Lie Huozhuang. No one dared to doubt Lie Huozhuang. Even if Xie Houyou came back alive and told people that he was not killed by Cao Renqiu, no one would believe him.

Lie Huozhuang's judgment is always correct. That afternoon. The civilian boy Lei Jinghong clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Haha, it seems that I did underestimate Zhan Feng before!" Ruge pursed her lips and stared at him. Xue used a snow-white handkerchief to gently wipe the shaved red jade phoenix all over her body.Since coming to Ping'an Town, he hasn't played the piano for a long time.He lowered his head and chuckled: "Lei Lang, Zhan Feng is definitely not a reckless man." Lei Jinghong flew over, squatted beside Xue, and said with a smile: "That's right, he actually thought of asking Cao Renqiu to be a scapegoat. In this way, Lie Huozhuang, Tianxia Wudao City and our Thunderbolt Gate can escape from the world. The rivers and lakes are still peaceful, and it is really brilliant to spend four or two thousand gold!" Xue intentionally or unintentionally cast a glance at the silent Ruge, and said with a smile, "Yes, Zhan Feng made the right decision." the right decision? Is everything just Zhan Feng's decision? Ruge's face was a little pale, she stared at Lei Jinghong closely: "Where's Cao Renqiu?" Lei Jinghong was taken aback by her appearance: "What Cao Renqiu?" "Is it really Xie Houyou who was killed by Cao Renqiu?" She said in a deep voice, "Does Zhan Feng have evidence?" Why, they are only talking about whoever kills Xie Houyou can make the world peaceful, and they don't care whether the person who was pushed out is the murderer or not. Lei Jinghong smiled as if she was a three-year-old child: "Haha, what a ridiculous question. Since Zhan Feng said that Cao Renqiu was the murderer, he can naturally produce evidence, but who dares to really investigate this evidence? What about it? Hehe, what kind of status is Liehuozhuang Village!" "Then," Ru Ge's eyes were amazingly bright, "you don't know what's going on, why are you talking nonsense, accusing Zhan Feng of asking Cao Renqiu to be a scapegoat?!" Lei Jinghong's eyes widened! The little girl from Pinhualou, the little girl who made sesame seed cakes, actually scolded him in person for talking nonsense! He seemed to be looking at Ruge for the first time. She was angry, there seemed to be flames burning in her stubborn eyes, and the bright red clothes flew violently, her whole body was like a ball of fire, and the strong and compelling aura made him stunned for a moment. Snow plucks the strings. The sound of the piano is like the rain that suddenly begins to fall outside the house. half an hour. Lei Jinghong said indignantly: "Cao Renqiu was originally a scapegoat! I dare to guarantee with my head that the one who killed Xie Houyou must be someone who has no sword in the world! Only Zhan Feng weighed the interests of all parties and pushed Cao Renqiu to death! " "You're talking nonsense!" Ruge roared angrily. Lei Jinghong laughed angrily: "What do you know about the stinky girl who makes sesame seed cakes?! The world's martial arts is not based on the facts, but on the needs of the situation! If Cao Renqiu is the murderer, he can only be the murderer!" Xue said lightly: "Lei Lang, that's enough." Ru Ge was so angry that he trembled: "As you said, the world's martial arts, don't let it go! If Cao Renqiu is not the murderer, no one can frame him!" After all, Lei Jinghong was young and vigorous, although he didn't want to make Xue unhappy, but he still couldn't help sneering when Ruge hit him: "I'm afraid he has already turned into a dead person, it doesn't matter if he is a murderer or not." "Speak clearly!" Ruge's voice trembled slightly. Lei Jinghong crossed his arms and said with a leisurely smile: "How can Zhan Feng allow him to live, he will definitely be silenced, but I don't know if that Xie Xiaofeng can survive." It's like pouring a basin of cold water from head to foot! Ruge froze on the spot. Xue Han said: "Lei Lang, you talk too much." Lei Jinghong saw that his handsome face was full of anger, like white snowflakes in the ice, he couldn't help beating in his heart, and smiled calmly: "Okay, okay, I'll just shut up." here. Ru Ge gritted her teeth and ran out. The door of the house seemed to be split open by a strong wind! The sky was as gloomy as an unresolved nightmare. The clouds were thick. There was no one on the street. Ruge in red was running in the rain, she no longer cared about whether someone would find out she was doing light work, she wanted to find Zhan Feng in every possible way! She must find Zhan Feng! Rain, drifting in through the wide open door. Snow's fingers stroked the strings. No tune, just high-pitched sighs... Summer rain comes and goes quickly. The sun came out from the clouds brilliantly, reflecting the golden light of the lotus pond. The green lotus leaves all over the pond shake out their fragrance under the sunlight. Cao Renqiu's face was sallow, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. He looked at the blue-clothed boy in front of him in horror, and said in a trembling and dry voice, "I didn't kill him, thank you! I didn't kill him!" In just one night, he changed from a son-in-law in hemp and filial piety to a murderer who killed his master and father-in-law.The moment Zilie Huozhuang announced that Xie Houyou was killed by him, he knew that his life was over.No one will believe him, everyone thinks that Lie Huo Zhuang is always right. However, he doesn't want to die! He wants to escape from Ping'an Town and find a place to live away from the world.Originally, he wanted to go alone, but was discovered by his clever son, and he must be with him.So, he took the nine-year-old Xiaofeng and started to flee. Only fled for half an hour. Flee to this lotus pond on the outskirts of the town. Zhan Feng and Zhongli Wulei appeared in front of him. Xie Xiaofeng felt that his father was very strange. Why did father say to the man in blue so frightenedly that grandpa didn't kill him?How could dad kill grandpa?He also didn't understand why his father left Ping'an Town, why he left secretly, so that he didn't have time to say goodbye to his friends, and he couldn't make an appointment with the beautiful brother Xue and sister Ruge when they would see each other again. Xie Xiaofeng was surprised to find that his father's legs were trembling, and his father who stood upright in his heart kept saying to the man in blue that he didn't kill him. However, the man in blue didn't seem to be listening to his father at all. The wind, carrying the fragrance of lotus leaves, slightly blew Zhan Feng's hair. Zhan Feng didn't draw his sword, and stood tall and straight quietly. He is dressed in dark blue cloth; his hair is thick and slightly curly, dark blue; there is a blue gem in his right ear, reflecting his dark blue eyes. Suddenly, there was a touch of green in his eyes. The emerald green lotus leaves in the lotus pond are dotted with raindrops, revealing the colorful colors of the sun. This crystal clear beauty made his eyes narrow slightly. Zhongli Wulei drew his sword at the moment Zhan Feng squinted. The sword light was like a string of drops of water splashing from the lotus leaf, pointing directly at Cao Renqiu! Cao Renqiu looked at his son at the moment Zhan Feng squinted. He knew that he was bound to die. If he met the gentle Yu Zihan or the strong and upright Ji Jinglei, he might have a chance to explain himself and hope to survive. However, what he met was Zhan Feng. Zhan Feng is the eldest disciple of Lord Lie Huo, he is gloomy and cold, and there is absolutely no room for change in anything he decides. Cao Renqiu originally wanted to draw his sword. He knew that as long as Zhan Feng narrowed his eyes, it was the signal to kill.However, as soon as he put his hand on the handle of the knife, he gave up.It is absolutely impossible for him to defeat Zhan Feng, or even Zhongli Wulei behind Zhan Feng, so he might as well use his last time to take a good look at his nine-year-old son—Xiaofeng. Xie Xiaofeng saw that sword! His eyes were full of fear, and his small face was full of panic and panic. He hugged his father's leg tightly and watched the sword stabbing his father's throat. father…… He wanted to shout out to remind his father to be careful of that sword, but before the voice could come out of his mouth, he felt a hot, fishy liquid rolling down from the top of his head and sticking to his immature lips! Xie Xiaofeng raised his face in panic and looked up. Dad's throat was like a fountain, endlessly gushing out blood, the blood stained Dad's clothes, and when it splashed down, it also stained his clothes red.Father opened his mouth and looked at him with loving eyes, thinking he wanted to say something to him, but the person whose throat was pierced couldn't speak no matter how hard he tried. Cao Renqiu fell to the ground. He fell at Xie Xiaofeng's feet. After the blood at the throat dyed the ground red, it finally stopped flowing. Xie Xiaofeng was only nine years old, but he knew that his father was dead and was killed by the man in front of him with a sword; he also knew that it was the young-looking man in blue who ordered the man to kill him! Zhan Feng stood tall, staring at a corner of the lotus pond. There, surrounded by heavy lotus leaves, a flower bud quietly bloomed. The buds are pink and white, just like her rosy skin. Perhaps it is the last lotus flower of this summer, blown by the wind, making a delicate laugh like a silver bell. "You killed my dad!! I'm going to kill you!!!" screaming! Roaring! A blood-stained figure of a child broke into Zhan Feng's sight. Zhan Feng frowned slightly, for a moment, he couldn't remember who this child was. Zhongli has no tears to stop the child. Xie Xiaofeng's body struggled desperately in Zhongli Wulei's hands, he yelled at Zhan Feng furiously: "Why did you kill my father, he is a good man! He didn't kill grandpa!" Zhan Feng stared at the lotus in a daze, and said for a while: "I didn't kill your father." "It's you! It's you who gave the order to kill my father! I saw it all! Your demeanor is the order to kill!" Xie Xiaofeng stared angrily, he swore that he would personally avenge his father in this life, so he must clearly remember the appearance of this man in blue. The breeze ruffles the surface of the water, and the pink and white flower buds smile delicately among the green lotus leaves. The figure that rose suddenly was like a touch of blue sky, circling like flying clouds in the lotus pond. Zhan Feng lowered his head, sniffed the lotus between his fingers, and said softly: "It is the destiny to kill your father." "It's you! It's you! I swear I'll kill you!" Xie Xiaofeng roared with hatred! Zhan Feng was silent. Then slowly approached Xie Xiaofeng, lifted his chin, and looked at him. Such a young child, only about eight or nine years old, has deep-seated hatred, a smart head, and a stubborn temperament. If he takes time to cultivate it well, he should be promising. unfortunately── Zhongli Wulei's eyes suddenly widened, and his pupils tightened. In both hands, Xie Xiaofeng's body suddenly softened, his neck was twisted at a strange angle, a few strands of blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth, his body temperature became colder and colder, and his life was instantly lost by the blue-clothed man holding the buds in his fingers. The man draws away. Zhan Feng looked at the child with a very quiet voice: "It was you who killed you." There was a chill in Zhongli Wulei's body. He had killed many people too, but he had never killed a child peacefully like this. late summer evening. Zhan Feng held the last lotus in the pond in his arms, his eyes were dark and deep: "Bury them." The lotus leaves all over the pond are blown by the wind. On the other side of the lotus pond. Ruge's nerves died one by one. She stared at the boy in blue on the opposite side of the lotus pond, unable to move! She just arrived. She came a step late. She watched Xie Xiaofeng's life end in Zhan Feng's fingers! The lotus is spewing fragrance in the skirt. Zhan Feng looked from among the green lotus leaves, and seemed to see a girl in red clothes. The girl he swore to protect with his life. In order to protect her, he would rather hurt her than make her live in hell. Zhan Feng looked at her. Her angry eyes suddenly made him understand that she was real, not tearing his dreams apart every night. The sunset is red. By the lotus pond. Ru Ge stood in front of Zhan Feng. She stared into his eyes: "You killed Xie Xiaofeng." Zhan Feng said: "Yes." Ruge said: "The reason?" Zhan Feng said: "He will be an enemy in the future." Ru Ge sneered, "Because you killed his father." Zhan Feng was silent. Ruge said: "Tell me, do you really think Cao Renqiu killed Xie Houyou?" Zhan Feng expressionless: "It can only be him." Ruge said angrily, "What kind of answer is this!" There was sarcasm in Zhan Feng's eyes: "This is the only correct way." "Method?" Ruge laughed loudly, "In your eyes, is the life of others just a solution to a problem?" Zhan Feng was silent. The pond full of lotus leaves turned into green waves. Ruge collected her face and said in a deep voice: "Draw the knife, I want to seek justice for Xie Xiaofeng." Zhan Feng shook his head: "You are not my opponent." Ruge puffed up her chest and smiled: "Is that so? You have to try it to know!" Lie──Fire─Fist──! Like the flames of scorching heat! Ruge's fist struck out, and the lotus leaves all over the pond seemed to be scorched in an instant, curling and turning yellow. She has become a fire! A fire that can burn everything in the world! That night. Snow has been waiting for Ruge. The door of the shop is open, the moonlight shines in, there are the sounds of grasshoppers and frogs. Xue plucked the strings with her fingers, but her eyes were always looking at the street outside the house. The white clothes are as bright as the moonlight. finally. There were chaotic footsteps on the street, like a lost child in a panic. Xue gently raised her graceful eyebrows. Ru Ge slammed into the room with a "plop", and the bright red clothes seemed to be wounded by the knife and fluttered, like a gorgeous butterfly that lost its soul, with a pale face and blood red lips. There is no snow in her eyes. His body went limp, and he fell to the cold ground. Then start crying! She cried like a child, trembling all over from crying, retching a little from crying, and her limbs began to twitch from crying. Xue looked at her. This is the first time I see Ruge crying. In the past, no matter what kind of situation she encountered, she would laugh, even if it was forced.He thought that her strong smile made his heart ache; unexpectedly, her crying broke his heart. Xue sat on the ground and hugged Ruge, who was so cold from crying, into her arms. He stroked her messy black hair lovingly, and said softly: "Don't cry, haven't you given up already?" Ru Ge broke free from him, her eyes were red and swollen like fire: "I hate him!" She hates him!He can dislike her, he can throw her away, but how can he kill a nine-year-old child inhumanely? !That child dances firecrackers like a flying dragon; that child is tired of eating biscuits and likes candied haws; that child wants to be a hero when he grows up! Zhan Feng killed Xie Xiaofeng without blinking. Xie Xiaofeng's head drooped lifelessly, the bloodshot corners of his mouth were scarlet, and he could no longer shout— "Sister Ruge..." Ru Ge also hates herself. Hate yourself why this is useless!She started practicing Liehuoquan at the age of five, and she has been practicing for eleven years, but she still can't get to the essence; she is like a fool, and she looks funny and ridiculous under Zhan Feng's fate knife. Zhan Feng seemed to be teasing her, slashing her hair, splitting her sleeves and skirt corners; even if her fist hit his chest, his expression seemed to be bitten by a mosquito. The moonlight is like water. inside the house. Xue whispered: "Your hatred is the greatest curse to him." Ruge didn't hear it, she was only filled with anger! She clenched her fist and shouted: "Why?! Am I just a useless piece of trash!" For the first time, she wanted to become stronger! Perhaps, only by making her stronger can there be fewer sad things in the world! this moment. Only the moon could see the sadness on Xue's face. So the moon also began to be sad. Xue heard Ruge's inner voice, and he knew that when she was stubborn, she finally decided to do something, and he couldn't stop it. Her power is no longer something he can seal. "cough!" Zhan Feng covered his chest and coughed up a mouthful of blood! By candlelight. There was a strange flush on his cheeks, and the gemstone in his right ear was so blue that it seemed to flow in dark light. Zhongli leaves without tears and closes the door of the guest room for Zhan Feng. He knew that the last thing Young Master Feng needed at this time was other people's disturbance; under the moonlight, he couldn't help but think of the child whose life was suddenly taken away. Zhong Li's tearless eyes dimmed. Perhaps, he is not suitable to be a killer. Zhan Feng's chest was so painful that it was about to burst! Ruge's fists are so powerful, I thought she had underestimated her in the past; she was indeed Lie Mingjing's daughter, and her angry aura seemed to be overlord. His right hand reaches into his chest. wry smile. The pink and white lotus buds have already been smashed into a ball of mud by Ruge's punches, leaving only a faint fragrance and transparent flower juice between the fingers. The last lotus flower of this summer, after all, I still can't keep it. Zhan Feng threw the remaining lotus mud out of the window! At this time. Zhongli Wulei's voice came from outside the house. "Master Feng, Master Dao Wuxia and Master Dao Wuhen are here." Zhan Feng wiped away the blood from the corner of his lips, his indifferent face was as ruthless as in the legend. "Come in."
