MTL - Cannon Fodder Counterattack Investigation System-Chapter 36
Zhou Ziruo just got into a fight with the big rooster in the afternoon, so he couldn't bear to go to the chicken pen to complain to the big rooster. If the big rooster knew that he was kicked out by Lu Lixiao, he might laugh at him!
Homeless, he had to wander around like a ghost in the door. On the top of the willow on the moon, I was finally tired of wandering, so I sat down on the boulder by the side of the road, holding my chin to cosplay the thinker.
He began to ponder how all of this happened. After thinking about it, it was all caused by Lu Lixiao's hooliganism, but why did he get kicked out in the end? He was clearly the one who was wronged, why did Lu Lixiao look hurt instead?
Also say he just doesn't like him...
Well, how did it come to the question of whether he likes it or not... Uh... Although he brought up this topic first, he vaguely knew that the "don't like men" he said was not the same as the "don't like him" that Lu Lixiao said meaning like...
Zhou Ziruo felt that his head was about to explode. He had never been so entangled in making plans overnight to get clients. If he could light a fire in his mind, it is estimated that his eyes, ears, mouth and nose have become a chimney now!
I don't know how long his head was completely short-circuited, Zhou Ziruo suddenly returned to his soul, and looked around guiltily.
After confirming that there wasn't even a fly here except himself, a "Damn" came to mind.
The one surnamed Lu really didn't come to him...
He is the only eyewitness to the consecutive corpse throwing incident and beheading incident, very dangerous!
Quarrels belong to quarrels. I really don't care if he lives or dies? ?
Zhou Ziruo reprimanded Lu Lixiao for being ruthless and unjust a hundred times in his heart, and finally emphasized to the air that if something happened to him, Lu Lixiao would definitely feel guilty. In order to prevent Lu Lixiao from blaming himself, he decided to forgive Lu Lixiao for his mistake and take the initiative to go back and reconcile.
Oops, he is so generous!
On the way close to the residence, several disciples passed by in a hurry, Zhou Ziruo grabbed one of them and asked curiously, "What's going on? The fourth brother's yard is in front!"
The disciple hurried over and said quickly: "Earlier, the head of the sect sent someone to summon the fourth senior brother to Yunqing Palace to discuss matters, but the door of the fourth senior brother's room was locked tightly, and no one answered when he knocked on the door! Recently, there are many strange things happening at the door. Everyone is worried about Fourth Senior Brother..."
If Zhou Zi didn't finish listening, he left the disciple and ran away.
The moment I heard that disciple's words, the night, stars, and roads in front of me were all spinning rapidly, as if the universe had turned upside down! He couldn't make any other reactions, only one clear thought, hurry to Lu Lixiao's side!
The courtyard was full of people. Outside the main house where Lu Lixiao lived, Head Qiu, several elders, Wei Heng, Liu Nanqin, Leng Moqin, etc. had just arrived, and they were helpless when the door was locked from the inside.
Zhou Ziruo squeezed out the noisy crowd, seeing this scene, his nameless anger burst out, and he yelled hoarsely: "You are all foolishly playing around here! Won't you knock down the door!?"
Maybe it was because his aura was too violent, everyone forgot to be surprised that he dared to be so rude in front of the head and the elders, Qiqi froze there, the courtyard was instantly silent, even seeing Zhou Ziruo as if Qiu Cailing, who didn't take the medicine, was dumbfounded.
Zhou Ziruo ignored them, ran up the stone steps a few steps, and stretched out his hand to slap Qiu Cailing's sword around his waist. This action reminded everyone that when Wei Heng pulled out his long sword and raised it, the door leaf fell to the ground.
There was no lamp in the room, and the light was dim. If Zhou Zi rushed in impatiently, he would see a familiar figure in the darkness kneeling on one knee in front of the closed window. Sitting on the ground with weak legs. Afterwards, head Qiu and others who came in were also relieved to see Lu Lixiao who was safe and sound.
"Fourth Junior Brother, since you are in the room, why don't you come to open the door..."
Halfway through Liu Nanqin's question, her voice suddenly dropped. The atmosphere in the room changed, and everyone breathed lightly.
Lu Lixiao turned his head to look, the dark light outlined the indifferent expression on his face, and illuminated the sword he held in his hand.
The precious sword that had defeated countless enemies in his hands but always kept the edge in its sheath was silently unsheathed at this moment, revealing a regrettable and incomplete form. The place where the sword was broken was uneven, and the bright red blood was slowly splashing down drop by drop on the sharp edge.
And where the broken sword points—
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly
Qiu Cailing's scream suddenly broke the eerie silence in the room, and the moonlight came in from the door, reflected in Feng Jing's cloudy and wide-open eyes, clearly reflecting his panic and unwillingness at the moment his head was beheaded!
Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then the absolute silence was broken by seething chaos.
Qi Yunpeng shouted loudly amidst the crowd: "Come on! Take him down!" The followers behind him looked at each other timidly, and no one dared to step forward. He was angry and anxious, "Lu Lixiao killed senior brother!" , can't let him run away!"
"Shut up! There are so many elders here, it's your turn to give orders!" Wei Heng sternly reprimanded.
Liu Nanqin also frowned: "At this moment, I only see the head of senior brother, but not the body. Obviously, the truth is not simple. It is still uncertain who committed the murder, so it's better for Junior Brother Qi not to talk nonsense!"
Leng Mo even directly asserted: "It is impossible for the fourth senior brother to kill the first senior brother."
Qi Yunpeng glared at the three of them angrily, but due to the presence of the sect master and elders, he didn't dare to do it again.
The beard on Sect Master Qiu's chin was trembling, and he said sharply, "Li Xiao! What are you doing!?"
Facing the crowd, Lu Lixiao looked a little confused. He looked at Feng Jing's lonely head and stood up.
"What the **** is going on here!" Headmaster Qiu shouted with a trembling chest. The disciple who grew up taught by one hand disappeared for several days and a head appeared, while the sword dripping with blood was held in the hands of another disciple, which made him feel pain and anger.
Qiu Cailing hurriedly supported her father, and while comforting him, she urged Lu Lixiao in tears: "Fourth senior brother, why did this happen? Tell me quickly!"
Lu Lixiao looked calmer than anyone else. He organized his words before he spoke: "At dusk, this disciple was alone in his residence, and suddenly he was attacked by an unknown person. This disciple fought against that person, and that person used mist to make this disciple lose his temper." The disciple regained consciousness just now when he heard the knocking on the door, and when he opened his eyes, he found the head of Senior Brother, and then you, Master, broke the door and entered."
Lu Lixiao's explanation relieved the heaviness on the faces of Head Qiu and everyone else, and almost no one questioned the authenticity of these words.
Zhou Ziruo felt relieved, and came to Lu Lixiao's side to look at him worriedly. Lu Lixiao took his hand and squeezed his palm, signaling that it's okay.
Du Hanfeng asked: "Martial Nephew Lu, can you see what that man looks like?"
"That man was wearing a black cloak and a mask to hide his face. Judging by his stature, he was a man." Lu Lixiao said.
An elder interjected: "That person attacked my Qingyang Mountain disciple many times, and now he has killed Martial Nephew Feng! He must not be allowed to run away just like that!"
"Hmph! Heng'er, from tomorrow onwards, lead someone to search the door again, even if you turn over the entire Qingyang Mountain, you must find the thief!" Ouyang Yi ordered angrily.
Wei Heng clasped his fists heavily to accept the order, "Yes!"
Just when everyone was filled with righteous indignation and condemned the man in the black cloak who caused trouble, a particularly unpleasant voice said loudly: "Senior brother Lu, I think you were very indifferent just now, it seems that you already knew that senior brother was killed?"
Lu Lixiao's reaction to Feng Jing's head was indeed too calm, even though he was always a person who couldn't show his emotions, but after all, his fellow disciples who grew up together were killed, so it was impossible to be indifferent.
These words made the expressions of the people in the room more subtle, and the face that had just been relieved by the head of Qiu sank again.
Zhou Ziruo stared at the provocative Qi Yunpeng, and opened his mouth to tell the truth, but Lu Lixiao took his hand and gently tugged it to stop him.
"Wouldn't I not be shocked that senior brother was killed? I'm afraid Junior Brother Qi may have misread it." Lu Lixiao said.
"Ayi, go and have a look." Head Qiu ordered solemnly.
A disciple lit a lamp, and instantly the room was brightly lit. Ouyang Yi went forward and held Feng Jing's head with both hands to observe carefully. Although the others didn't know what he was checking, they felt the importance of the inspection from the solemn attitude of Head Qiu, and gradually no one said anything, waiting for the result.
Ouyang Yi's increasingly cold face inexplicably made Zhou Ziruo's heart flutter, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.
A few moments later, Ouyang Yi held Feng Jing's head and came to the head of Qiu.
Headmaster Qiu said with a livid face, "Wei Heng, Nan Qin, the two of you personally **** Lu Lixiao into the precept hall, take off his sword and focus on guarding, and don't allow anyone to have any contact with him!"
This order made everyone dumbfounded, even Qi Yunpeng, who was focused on targeting Lu Lixiao, was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the victory to be so simple and rude!
"Master, fourth senior brother..." Leng Mo lifted his clothes and knelt down.
Head Qiu interrupted him: "Whoever dares to speak for him, let's be imprisoned together!" In a blink of an eye, Wei and Liu shouted, "What are you doing standing there? Lock them up immediately!"
"Fourth Junior Brother..." Liu Nanqin helplessly stretched out his hands towards Lu Lixiao, "Give me your sword. Don't worry, I won't let it do any damage."
"No, why..." Zhou Ziruo stepped forward, but was pulled behind by Lu Lixiao's hand.
Lu Lixiao signaled him not to do anything, wiped off the blood on the blade with his sleeve, bent over to pick up the scabbard on the ground and put the sword in, then handed it to Liu Nanqin with both hands.
"I'll go by myself."
Lu Lixiao didn't say a word of excuse, bowed to the head of Qiu, and took the initiative to walk out of the room, Liu Nanqin and Wei Heng followed behind him.
The disciples huddled in the yard all heard the execution of head Qiu. The dark crowd filled the small courtyard, but it was so quiet that a needle could be heard.
Under everyone's different gazes, Lu Lixiao calmly and steadily walked towards the precept hall.
No one noticed Zhou Ziruo in the room, and at some point he clenched his fist behind his back.
Mo Qinghuajue's cold temperature spread from the palm of his hand to his whole body, and the tactile sensation of Lu Lixiao's fingertips sliding on his skin was still clear.
When he handed Mo Qing Huajue to him just now, he wrote a word on his hand:
Code.
The author has something to say: I caught the worm, and I will add the name of the character Saber in the article by the way:
Lu Lixiao - never leave
Lengmo—Xuehua
These two are the only ones for the time being, and there are still important people who have not appeared in the future, and I will introduce them at a later time.
