Huangfu Ye deliberately avoided Regret, and he felt a little guilty. Regret was a good person and his savior. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have done this. However, he didn't want Regret to interfere in his own affairs, and he didn't want to go back with him either. Before he came, he had already made up his mind that he wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal. No one could stop him. Moreover, Daoist Priest Regret was Fu Ruihai's foster father. If he wanted to kill Fu Ruihai, Daoist Priest Regret would definitely not be willing. He could not let him ruin his plan. Huangfu Ye felt relieved at the thought. He sat there and waited anxiously, hoping that Priest Regret would leave soon.
After waiting for about an hour, the door suddenly opened. Guan Feng rushed in and said excitedly,"Let's go, let's go. That person has already left. Let's leave early.”
Yi Yun was not unconvinced. He hurriedly went out to take a look and found that Daoist Priest Regret was indeed gone. Still worried, he walked around the outside again, but he didn't see Priest Regret. He went back and said to them,""That person really left. We should hurry up and leave. If we're discovered, we won't be able to leave.”As he spoke, he asked Guan Feng and Huangfu Ye to put on a hat that was very low to cover their faces. He did the same. The three of them left the Yuanyang Inn.
Huangfu Ye once again felt that Yi Yunfei was very strange. He seemed to be especially afraid of Daoist Regret. He had clearly said that he was not Zhao Shengming's man, so why was he still so nervous? Could it be for him? It did not seem like it. It was better to wait and see what Yi Yunfei was up to.
Daoist Regret waited in the inn for an hour, but he still did not see Yi Yunfei and Huangfu Ye. He instinctively began to suspect himself. Could it be that he had seen wrongly? The two of them were not here at all? Thinking of his purpose for coming here, he decided to give up on looking for Huangfu Ye and go to Old Third Li to ask him about the deceased. Thinking of this, he paid the bill and left. What he did not expect was that just as he left, Yi Yunfei brought Huangfu Ye and Guan Feng downstairs, paid the bill, and left in a hurry.
After asking around, he finally found Li Laosan's house. After looking around for a while, he found that it was just an ordinary house. He vaguely heard the sound of someone chopping wood. As he walked closer and closer, he finally saw the person chopping wood. It was Li Laosan. Smiling, Priest Regret walked over and knocked on the door.""Excuse me, is there anyone here?"
After a while, the door opened. It was Li Laosan. When he saw that it was a Taoist priest knocking on the door, he could not help but frown and ask politely,"I'm the master of this place. May I know what advice you have?”
"I don't dare to. I'm passing by and want to ask for a cup of water. I wonder if you…"
"I see. Taoist priest, you don't have to be polite. Come in and sit.”Old Third Li let him in and asked him to sit down and wait for a while before he went in. After a while, he brought a bowl of water." I'm a farmer in the countryside. I don't have good tea for guests. Please don't take offense."”
Patron, you're too polite." Daoist Priest Regret took it and drank it in one gulp before returning the bowl to him." Thank you, benefactor.”
"It's nothing. There's no need to thank me." Old Third Li put the bowl on the ground and sized up Priest Regret. Seeing that he was travel-worn and seemed to have walked for a long time, he was curious and asked," Are you traveling around in this outfit?"”
"I don't dare to travel around. I'm just walking around and visiting old friends.”" To tell you the truth, I came here because I have a friend who lives here. I came here specifically to see him."”
"No need, no need. He's already dead. I heard that his entire family is dead.”Regret shook his head helplessly." Last year, we had a letter. He asked me to look for him, but I didn't have the chance. It wasn't easy for him to come here, but such a thing happened. Sigh.”
Old Third Li was surprised when he heard what he said.""Is your friend Old Man Wang, who was killed two days ago?”
"You know about this too?" Daoist Priest Regret deliberately revealed a strange expression.
"It's nothing. Everyone here knows about this. A family of four was killed. Everyone was especially shocked and afraid.”Li Laosan pretended to be mysterious and said. After that, he showed a disdainful expression." In my opinion, there's no need to be afraid at all. That person went for Old Man Wang alone. It has nothing to do with anyone else. They didn't believe me even after I said that.”
"Has nothing else happened these past few days?”
Li Laosan shook his head." No, it's been quiet. Nothing happened. The authorities can't catch the murderer now. They're also very anxious." Hey, Taoist priest, you're friends with that old man Wang. Do you know who he has offended? Do you have any enemies?”
"I really don't know. Although we're friends, we don't have a deep relationship. We've only met a few times. It seems that he always has a lot on his mind and doesn't smile. What do you think?" Regretful Daoist pushed the question to Li Laosan.
"Actually, I'm not very familiar with him.”Li Laosan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said," He looks very strange. He doesn't go out much, doesn't talk much, and doesn't communicate with others." If everyone sat together, no matter how much others said, he would not interrupt and just listen.”
"Does he have any friends here, or is he particularly close to anyone?”
"That's not true. I've said it before, he doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't interact much with others. He's always been kind to everyone. He's been here for 20 years, and he's never been angry with anyone.”
"Then why did you encounter such a thing?"
"I don't know. It definitely has nothing to do with the people here.”Li Laosan replied. He suddenly lowered his head and whispered in his ear mysteriously," I suspect that it was done by his former enemy.”
"What? Enemies?" Priest Regret pretended to be shocked. He lowered his voice and asked," He has enemies? How do you know? Did he tell you?"”
Li Laosan smiled." I have nothing to do with him. How could he tell me? I was just guessing." Moreover, even if such a thing really happened, he did not dare to casually say it. If word got out, he would be finished. However, I'm not saying this without any basis. When he came here 20 years ago, he was seriously injured and could be said to be on the verge of death. Although his wife and two sons were fine, they also looked very miserable. It was a doctor here who saved him. The doctor said that he suffered internal injuries, as if he had been beaten up. Think about it, if he wasn't his enemy, who would beat him up like that? However, when we asked him, he refused to say anything. We couldn't get anything out of his wife. After that, they settled down. As time passed, we forgot about this matter and went our separate ways. He didn't expect such a thing to happen after 20 years.”After saying that, he sighed heavily.
"Then did you ask him where he came from?”
"It seems to be the north. At first, he didn't want to tell her, but after his wife said it, he didn't let her tell him. That's all we know."
After listening to his words, Daoist Zhong Hui carefully savored them. Old Man Wang came from the north, so he should be from the capital. In addition, his usually taciturn attitude showed that he had something important to hide. Was it that matter? He wasn't sure. Regretful Daoist looked at the person in front of him and knew that he couldn't possibly know too much, so he could only give up. He stood up and said,"Thank you for the water, benefactor. It's getting late, and I should take my leave."”With that, he bowed and turned to leave. Old Third Li walked outside and watched him leave. He retracted his gaze and sighed lightly. He walked back and continued to work.
After bidding farewell to Li Laosan, Priest Regret walked around this place for a while. He asked a few people and they all gave similar answers. It seemed that this was the case. It was futile to ask again. He prepared to go back like this. He suddenly thought of Huangfu Ye and Yi Yunfei. Where did they go? Were they still here? He was not sure. He decided to continue searching, but how could he find them in the vast sea of people? Moreover, they had already discovered him. If they deliberately hid from him, he would not be able to find them no matter what. Suddenly, he thought that they were going back to the capital as well. He might as well go back first and tell Fu Ruihai about this. He would then think of a way to find Yi Yunfei and ask for Huangfu Ye's whereabouts. After making his decision, Daoist Priest Regret returned home.
Yi Yunfei, Huangfu Ye, and Guan Feng were resting on a small hill outside Lin Zhou City after a day of traveling. They had agreed to go straight to the village and rest there. However, halfway through, Yi Yun insisted that they stop and rest in the middle of nowhere. Guan Feng and Huangfu Ye were confused. Why was he here? It was not convenient at all. Yi Yun had no choice but to explain. He did not know the situation there. If someone went there ahead of time, they would fall into a trap. Guan Feng was a person without any ideas. Of course, he trusted Yi Yunfei's words and thought so. However, Huangfu Ye was not so gullible. He knew that the person who came was Daoist Priest Regret, not Zhao Shengming's man. There was nothing to be afraid of. Yi Yun said," If you think it's good, then leave first. We're here anyway." Huangfu Ye had no choice but to stay with them since he needed their help. After lighting a fire and eating, the three of them sat together and discussed the next step of the plan. Huangfu Ye had his own thoughts, but he couldn't voice them out. He felt very depressed. At that moment, he suddenly heard Yi Yunfei say,""We'll go straight back to the capital tomorrow and not go to that place again.”
"What? We're not investigating anymore?" Huangfu Ye and Guan Feng were very surprised. They looked at each other, unsure of Yi Yunfei's plans.
Such an expression was completely out of Yi Yun's expectations. He smiled and said,""Yes, we won't investigate anymore. Last night, Young Master Huangfu and I went to their house to take a look. There's nothing. The government has already checked, so we definitely won't be able to find anything. Besides, someone has already noticed us.”After saying that, he glanced at Huangfu Ye." No matter who that person is, good or bad, it's not good for others to see him. That person's martial arts is very strong, I'm afraid we're not his match, so it's better to leave as soon as possible.”
"But if we leave, we won't know that person's identity. Wouldn't this trip be in vain?”Guan Feng said unwillingly. He was eager to seek revenge and find someone. Naturally, he did not want to go back just like that. No matter what, he had to have a result.
"No need, I've already found out.”Yi Yunfei said with a smile. Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:052520186:08PM
