"What an amazing sword move. If Ye Gucheng had used this sword move with all his strength in King Nan's mansion, would you still be alive?”Li Chenzhou patted Lu Xiaofeng's shoulder and asked.
Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said seriously,""Not bad! I have to thank the City Lord for holding back."
"What are you doing here?" Lu Xiaofeng turned around and asked as he watched Ye Gucheng leave.
"Li Yan Bei asked me to come. He has a surprise for you.”
"Oh? Surprise? That's interesting. Let's go then.”Lu Xiaofeng smiled and walked out, but he saw a large group of people gathered outside the building, discussing something.
"What happened?" Lu Xiaofeng pushed aside the crowd that was blocking him and saw that all the pedestrians had already dodged to the side of the street. A white horse was running from the street with small steps. There was a person on the horse's back, and a person was lying on the horse's back like an empty sack.
Du Tongxuan?!" Lu Xiaofeng was shocked and quickly went forward to check the situation. Checking his breathing, Lu Xiaofeng shook his head. It was obvious that there was no way to save him. Then, he pushed Du Tongxuan's head away and carefully observed the wound on his neck.
"A fast sword. He didn't feel any pain before he died. Before he could react to the pain, he had already died under that sword.”Li Chenzhou said as he looked at the wound.
"There are only a handful of people in the world who can use this kind of sword technique!”Lu Xiaofeng let go of Du Tongxuan's body and wondered who did it. He glanced at Li Chenzhou and then turned back. Although he didn't use a sword, he could still see Du Tongxuan's wound clearly.
Du Tongxuan had definitely died less than 15 minutes ago, and Li Chenzhou had been with Lu Xiaofeng the entire time, so it couldn't have been him. The only other suspects left were Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue. Ye Gucheng had been around just now, so he could be ruled out. The only suspect left was Ximen Chuixue. However, as a friend, Lu Xiaofeng knew that Ximen Chuixue wouldn't have done that. Although Du Tongxuan's wound showed that the person who killed him was very fast, it definitely wasn't caused by Ximen Chuixue. Then who was it?
Lu Xiaofeng and Li Chenzhou returned to Li Yanbei's mansion with questions in their minds. "Hahaha, the two of you came at the right time. The wine and dishes have been prepared, and there's an expert here!”Li Yanbei had already received the news and went out to welcome them.
"Expert? Could it be that Ximen Chuixue is here?" Li Chenzhou asked half-jokingly.
"Hehe, although she's not Ximen Chuixue, she's still more powerful than Ximen Chuixue to Lu Xiaofeng!”The 13th Aunt next to Li Yan Bei was too much. he said.
"Oh?" Lu Xiaofeng turned to the door and saw a blue-robed woman appear at the door. He said in surprise," Ouyang Qing? Why are you here?"
"Hero Li invited me to be a guest. How could I refuse?”
"I know that you, Lu Xiaofeng, and Miss Ouyang said that you were a soulmate, so I specially invited Miss Ouyang to be my guest.”Li Yan Bei pulled Lu Xiaofeng and walked inside. Li Chenzhou glanced at Ouyang Qing and frowned slightly.
13th Aunt and Ouyang Qing went to the kitchen. They sat at the dining table, but the atmosphere was a little strange." Hero Li, I have some news to tell you, but I don't know if it's good or bad for you."”
"Oh? What is it?" Li Yan Bei asked curiously.
"Du Tongxuan is dead!"
"Dead? He's dead!" Li Yan Bei's eyes lit up. This was indeed good news for him. Even if he might not be able to get Du Tongxuan's bet, since Du Tongxuan was dead, he did not have to take the risk. Moreover, he could arrange for people to take Du Tongxuan's inheritance after the event. Therefore, Li Yan Bei was obviously happy.
"But now everyone thinks that Ximen Chuixue did it.”Lu Xiaofeng said worriedly.
"Ximen Chuixue isn't such a person.”Li Yan Bei replied. He was inexplicably supportive of Lu Xiaofeng.
"Of course Ximen Chuixue wouldn't do that, but many people hope that it was Ximen Chuixue who did it.”Li Chenzhou said slowly.
"Why?" Lu Xiaofeng frowned and asked.
"It's very simple. Du Tongxuan is dead, but he's still a character. He also has people loyal to him. If they know who the murderer is, they will definitely take revenge!”
"They are no match for Ximen Chuixue!”Lu Xiaofeng said firmly.
"Of course they're not Ximen Chuixue's match, but they don't need to be Ximen Chuixue's match either. They just need to exhaust a little of Ximen Chuixue's energy, right?”
Lu Xiaofeng was covered in cold sweat. As an expert, he naturally knew how fatal it was to be disturbed before a decisive battle. "Could it be that Du Tongxuan's death was caused by those who bet on Ye Gucheng's victory? But they…"
Before he could finish his sentence, a strange sound of bamboo blowing came from the wind. As soon as the sound was heard, Lu Xiaofeng ran out of the door like a reflex. "Go save Ouyang Qing!"
"Heh, you're quite fast." Li Chenzhou's lips curled into an imperceptible smile. He had already informed the prince that their plan might be exposed by Ouyang Qing, so Ouyang Qing, who should have been killed on the second meeting, was now in trouble." It's just that the timing is wrong. Why did you have to do it in front of Lu Xiaofeng?"”
The sound of bamboo blowing came from the southwest, not too far away. Sweeping out of the western wall of the house and through a narrow alley, there was a garden that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. However, Lu Xiaofeng didn't gain anything. Although the timing was not right, the people of the South King Mansion had already done everything for this plan. Naturally, they wouldn't easily leave any traces.
