C397 Old Macguang

Duan Tianya thought for a moment. Since these men in black had already left, there was no need for them to run outside and find this body. The fox had already revealed its tail, so it was best not to disturb it. With Little Zhuge and the others' abilities, they would naturally know about what had happened just now. It was better to wait and see what would happen next.

On the second day, there was no arena competition in Xue Prefecture. After asking the butler, they found out that Master Xue had caught a cold and was feeling unwell. Duan Tianya and the others had already come to an understanding about this explanation.

It was noon and the sun was much warmer than usual. The fierce wind from last night seemed to have taken away the cold along with it.

Duan Tianya and the others were in a good mood. They ordered a table full of wine and wine. It seemed that the black-clothed men from last night did not affect them at all.

Little Zhuge looked around at the maids and servants standing at the side. He exchanged glances with the others and then slowly sat down. He poured a cup of wine and said to himself, "I had a very strange dream last night. I dreamt that there were many crows resting on the branches. "

Duan Tianya naturally understood what he meant. Those crows were referring to the men in black who had appeared. The reason he said that was to guard against Xue Prefecture's eyes and ears. Thinking of this, he said, "The dream I had last night was different from yours. I heard the cry of a wild donkey. "

Little Zhuge smiled and said, "It's really strange. When a donkey cries, won't the crow on the branches fly away?"

Duan Tianya said, "Of course they will fly away, but when a donkey shouts, if people hear it, they will have to get up to check. "

Little Zhuge took a bite of the food and asked while eating, "Is that person up yet?"

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Master thought about it. He has long gotten used to the cries of donkeys, so he did not get up. "

Little Zhuge said, "What if it is a wolf, tiger, and leopard?"

Duan Tianya said, "They are all good hunters. What are those wolves, tigers, and leopards afraid of?"

Little Zhuge smiled and said, "In that case, wouldn't that donkey ruin master's good thing?"

Duan Tianya said, "Maybe it helped Master. "

Little Zhuge was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

Duan Tianya said, "When a donkey is screaming, the wolves, tigers, and leopards run away, but these beasts will come again. This has given Master ample preparation. "

Little Zhuge smiled and said, "Good things turn into bad things, and bad things turn into good things. "

They used secret language. They all meant something. If it was an ordinary person, they would only be confused when they heard it.

After eating and drinking, Duan Tianya and the others wanted to go for a walk. There were many guests in Xue Manor, but they could vaguely feel that there was something wrong with the way these guests looked at them.

There were many people surrounding a pine tree in the corner of the east courtyard. Duan Tianya and the others walked in to take a look. There was a huge corpse hanging on the tree. It was a bald man. Of course they recognized him. It was Sun Ba.

Sun Ba was tied around his neck with a rope and hung on a branch. A sharp knife was left on his throat. At this moment, Duan Tianya had mixed feelings. He saw Hu Meng's shadow on Sun Ba, but their ending was the same sadness.

Just as he was feeling sad, he suddenly heard something. Someone had to shout! Who can kill the five tigers of Zhuozhou? I will reward you with fifty thousand taels of silver!"

Duan Tianya turned around and saw that the person who shouted this was a man in his fifties. He was dressed extravagantly and had a bloated body like a pig. He was sitting on a large bench like a ball of meat.

"Mai Laoguang?"

"Do you know him?" Duan Tianya looked at Little Zhuge and did not wait for him to speak. He only heard Lee Jingyun speak in a low voice. "That's right. It's this Mai Laoguang. Didn't he already die?"

"Oh?" Duan Tianya could not help smiling bitterly in his heart. He thought to himself, "I can be considered one of the people who have traveled in the martial world. Both of them know this person, but I don't have any impression of him. "

Duan Tianya had heard of Mai Laoguang's name before. Back then, Mai Laoguang was also considered an influential person. He was rich and powerful, and he had two hobbies in his life - women and treasures.

At this moment, Little Zhuge said, "He should have died fifteen years ago. Why did he live again?"

Duan Tianya said, "He died fifteen years ago. How did you recognize him?"

Little Zhuge said, "A person's appearance can be changed, but his habits cannot be changed!"

"Oh?" Duan Tianya was even more surprised.

Little Zhuge continued, "Anyone who knows him knows that Mai Laoguang would rather die than leave his jade circle. "

Duan Tianya took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a green jade ring on Mai Laoguang's neck. He asked in confusion, "You said that he had died fifteen years ago. How did he come back to life?"

Before Little Zhuge could say anything, Lee Jingyun said first. "He died under my master's knife. "

"Divine Blade Li Huang?"

Lee Jingyun nodded and said in a low voice: "Back then, he heard that my master had a golden blade, so when he saw money, he sent someone to seize the blade and was killed by my master instead. "

Duan Tianya said, "Since he was killed with a blade, could it be that this isn't the real person?"

Lee Jingyun shook his head helplessly and said, "That is unknown. I only found out when I saw the jade circle. " They lowered their voices so that only they could hear it.

As they were talking, many people with swords and sabers surrounded them. Duan Tianya looked around and suddenly jumped up. He drew his sword in the air and slashed at Mai Laoguang, who was sitting on the bench.

Mai Laoguang pulled out his sword to welcome him. With a cracking sound, the sword in Mai Laoguang's hand broke into two pieces. He looked at the broken sword in his hand in surprise. When he recovered his senses, Duan Tianya's sword had already arrived in front of him.

"It seems like I have underestimated your abilities!" Mai Laoguang threw the broken sword on the ground. There was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

Duan Tianya asked, "Why do you want to make things difficult for my brother?"

Mai Laoguang snorted coldly and said, "It was you who killed brother Sun Ba!"

Duan Tianya was stunned and said, "Don't accuse people without evidence!"

Mai Laoguang said angrily, "I saw it with my own eyes. You all seem to be quibbling?" He said loudly again, "Listen up, people of Xue Prefecture. Don't let outsiders look down on us. Killing one of them will reward one hundred thousand taels of silver. What are you waiting for?"

As soon as these words were spoken, two to three hundred Xue Estate guests swarmed over and surrounded Duan Tianya and the others. As the saying goes, money makes the devil push the millstone, and these words weren't false.

Duan Tianya glanced at Mai Laoguang and smiled at the crowd. "If I kill him now, you won't have a place to collect your reward. "

Unexpectedly, Mai Laoguang snorted coldly. "If you kill me, someone will also reward you. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "I really want to know who will give them money. " Mai Laoguang did not speak anymore. He just looked at the guests of Xue Mansion coldly.

Duan Tianya knew that if he made a move, it would only cause unnecessary trouble. Thinking of this, he decided to strike first and gain the upper hand.

He took advantage of the moment when he was unprepared. He slightly turned his body and raised his left hand to hit Mai Laoguang's neck, knocking him out. Then he lifted Mai Laoguang and flipped over the high wall.
