C15 The Dragon Guard Had Arrived at the Palace

Immersed in the spirit of the meridian, Wang Lih did not notice the passage of time. At this moment, there were only slivers of flame burning in his heart.

"Knock, knock, knock" The sound of knocking on the door jolted Wang Lih awake.

"Young Brother Wang, it's time to wake up!"

"Understood, Older Brother Qin." Wang Lih smiled as he got off the bed and went to open the door. Sure enough, Qin Xiao was standing outside.

"It's really shameful for Me to have nothing to do in the Luo Family staying at home all day." Wang Lih immediately cupped his hands.

"There's no need to say that. This is just to avoid the storm. Luo Family have actually been placed on Young Brother Wang, which is wrong. " Qin Xiao smiled as he waved his hand, "Older Brother Qin has something that he wants to talk to Young Brother Wang about. I wonder if Young Brother Wang can help?"

"Older Brother Qin, what do you have to say for yourself?" Wu Tie said.

"It's just a chat. Why don't you come with me to the back garden pavilion?" Qin Xiao laughed.

"Of course." Wang Lih smiled and left with Qin Xiao.

Luo Family front yard, at the gate.

A tall and sturdy man, dressed in the uniform of a general, was waiting at the entrance. It was the Long Residence's guard, Director Zhao! Although the several dozen Dragon Manor guards led by Director Zhao held long spears in their hands and looked heroic and radiant, the intimidating aura that Director Zhao himself exuded had already surpassed all of his subordinates, causing them to tremble in fear.

If he said the name "Zhao Hao", Wang Lih would remember it! The person ranked ninth in "Sunpierce List" was this "Flying Gold Spear" Zhao Hao!

Zhao Hao's strength was ranked ninth in the entire Black Yi Dynasty! In the capital, he had even become the head of the Long Residence's security, making everyone revere him!

"I wonder what business Family Head of Luo Family has, and why I haven't seen him for such a long time." Director Zhao asked politely.

"Patriarch is dealing with some business matters, please wait a moment longer." The Luo Family guard at the door said respectfully. Family Head of Luo Family had long since informed him that if anyone came to visit, he would answer them in this manner if he was unable to arrive and he was somewhat anxious to ask about Fang Su. Family Head of Luo Family didn't want others to know that he had spent most of his time practicing martial arts.

With this, Director Zhao's imposing manner was enough to suppress everyone within a radius of a few dozen feet from him.

Even the guards at the Luo Family gate were relieved, their hearts filled with anxiety and relief after hearing the answer.

After a short while, Family Head of Luo Family had changed into a luxurious robe and rushed over.

"Director Zhao is here early in the morning. What can I do for you?" Regardless of strength, Director Zhao's official position was bigger than his, so he had to be respectful.

"Good morning, Family Head of Luo Family. I've heard the details from him." Zhao Hao cupped his hands, "I am truly sorry for coming here to search this place. However, my subordinate, the captain of the Huanyu Gate, Xiao Chuanfeng, went missing after being invited by Family Head of Luo Family last night. Family Head of Luo Family, please forgive me for coming to see you so early in the morning, but I had no other choice.

"Director Zhao has a high position and is busy with important matters. We, the common people, naturally understand!" Family Head of Luo Family smiled and said, "Director Zhao came to my house, I will be waiting for you. However, before Director Zhao enters, I have something to say first. "

"Family Head of Luo Family, please speak." Wu Tie said.

"I did indeed invite Captain Xiao last night to have a chat, but I only asked him a few questions before leaving." Family Head of Luo Family said, "All the guards in this mansion can testify that I didn't even send Captain Xiao out."

"There is no need to explain any further." Zhao Hao waved his hand, "Since Family Head of Luo Family won't stop me, I will lead the others to go in first. If we can't find Captain Xiao nor any evidence or clues, it would be enough to prove Family Head of Luo Family's innocence. "

"Director Zhao, please …" Family Head of Luo Family was speechless.

"Let's go." Director Zhao waved to the soldiers behind him, and then the dozens of people entered the Luo Family's Mansion together. Family Head of Luo Family stood by the door as the Long Residence's guards entered his house to search.

He couldn't stop Director Zhao even if he wanted to. Director Zhao's martial prowess was much higher than his.

In the Luo Family Garden, Wang Lih and Qin Xiao had arrived.

The back garden was a small garden that Family Head of Luo Family had built on the west side of the backyard. Half of the green plain was paved with stone, and the surroundings were filled with colorful flowers. Half the fish pond on the building of a pavilion, the border full of peach trees, the spring Summer Palace. The beauty of the place was like a small peach tree, comparable to the small green garden that was guarding the top of the mountain.

After Wang Lih walked into the garden, Qin Xiao stopped at the entrance of the garden for a while.

He seemed to have placed something on the ground, but Wang Lih didn't notice it. Then, Qin Xiao caught up.

As they entered the pavilion on top of the fish pond, Qin Xiao and Wang Lih both stood still.

After Qin Xiao sat down at the stone table in the middle of the pavilion, Wang Lih also sat down.

"Older Brother Qin, what do you want to know?" Wang Lih laughed.

"Young Brother Wang has such superb skills even in the year of dancing. "He was beaten to a pulp by Wu Tie, who had been trained by his father's saber arts since he was a kid." Qin Xiao also laughed, "I, Qin Xiao, truly admire you."

"Older Brother Qin is too kind. It's impossible for things to turn sour. At most, Me will have the upper hand." Wang Lih cupped his hands.

"If Young Brother Wang doesn't mind, can I let Older Brother Qin experience the true skills of Shaolin Temple?" Qin Xiao asked, "I, Liu Tie, have guarded Luo Family for many years. I have fought many robbers and robbers, but I have never fought with Shaolin Temple disciples before. I have always doubted it when I heard that Shaolin Temple is famous for the 'Martial Ancestor Realm'. Now that we have seen a thirteen year old disciple with such strength, it would be impossible for us not to be convinced. "

"Young Brother Wang, can you satisfy Older Brother Qin's desire to fight? Why don't you show us your true skills?"

Wang Lih was surprised. Older Brother Qin wanted to spar with him?

Between Guard Commander, Family Head of Luo Family and himself, this gap was too obvious. When he fought with Older Brother Qin, he probably lost in three moves!

"With Me's current ability, I'm afraid he won't be able to match up to Older Brother Qin by one-tenth. "This..." Wang Lih cupped his hands and said.

"How can you say that? We have never competed before." However, Qin Xiao answered, "If I can beat Older Brother Qin, Older Brother Qin will also learn from it. If you can't win against Older Brother Qin, Wu can also teach Young Brother Wang half a move. And regardless of whether they are competing or not, Older Brother Qin will be able to see the Shaolin Kung Fu from there. "

"Competing with a round doesn't hurt Young Brother Wang, right?" However, Qin Xiao was very aggressive.

Wang Lih was silent as he pondered.

"Then that's it. I've brought this to Young Brother Wang." Qin Xiao smiled and suddenly stood up to leave. Wang Lih looked at Qin Xiao doubtfully. He then turned around and stretched out his hand to dig at the railing beside the stone table. He then took out a long staff from behind the railing, a light gray, pure stone seven feet long staff.

Wang Lih took a closer look. Wasn't this the hundred-pound stone rod given to him by Daoist Master Fu Chang?

Ever since Older Brother Qin had given him a lighter long spear to use, the big stone stick that Daoist Master Fu Chang gifted him had been placed with Family Head of Luo Family's goods without being used. And on that day, when the caravan arrived at the capital's Huanyu Sect, they were arrested by the Long Residence's guards. The stone rod naturally followed the caravan and entered the Luo Family. After that, he had never seen it before and never thought of it either.

Older Brother Qin actually put it away for him, and he even brought it here for a spar!

It seemed that Older Brother Qin really valued him a lot, and he even did so many things for him.

"Older Brother Qin, this..." Wang Lih didn't know what to say.

"The first time I saw Young Brother Wang, Young Brother Wang carried this big stone stick on his back. Since that's the case, this must be Young Brother Wang's weapon of choice. I helped Young Brother Wang take out the goods, thinking that Young Brother Wang cannot take away the weapon in his hand when he leaves Luo Family one day. " Sun Tie smiled as he handed the stone stick to Wang Lih, "Since Young Brother Wang's weapon is here, can we compete with Older Brother Qin?"

Wang Lih still didn't know what to do. He believed that he would lose without a doubt when he fought with Older Brother Qin. He wondered if Older Brother Qin fought with him for the "Year of the Dancer" just to see the Shaolin Kung Fu.

"Since Older Brother Qin has repeatedly asked for it, then if Me doesn't accept it, it would seem that Older Brother Qin isn't giving any face at all." Wang Lih smiled and took the stone club from Qin Xiao. "Then, Me will do as you say, competing with Older Brother Qin, right?"

"Young Brother Wang is really straightforward!" Qin Xiao cupped his hands together and a fierce glint flashed across his eyes.

"Where is Older Brother Qin's weapon?" Wang Lih asked, no one saw Qin Xiao wearing the Wrist Blade.

"I didn't take it by chance, so I don't need to use it, right?" Qin Xiao rubbed his palms together, "We are both using fist techniques, Young Brother Wang can try wearing this without the Wrist Blade."

"Then I'll go up first." Wang Lih had a determined look in his eyes.

"Bring it on!" Qin Xiao smiled. His steel-like fists seemed to reflect a blazing light, making them look extremely hard.

In an instant, Wang Lih swung his stone stick. "Whew!" A sound broke the wind, and the heavy stone stick smashed towards Wang Lih at a very close distance. It was just a breath's time.

Qin Xiao gently blocked it with his left hand and threw a punch!

In the east wing of the Central District, in another corner of the Luo Family courtyard.

"Reporting to Director Zhao, the front courtyard has been searched. Captain Xiao is nowhere to be found."

The guards of the One Dragon's Manor reported this. Zhao Hao listened and pondered for a moment. Then, he said:

"Has the Luo Family backyard still not been searched yet?"

"The garden in the west wing of the backyard has been searched, but Captain Xiao's figure still hasn't been found. The brothers in the east wing are still searching. " Zhao Hao nodded, then said, "You can all come with me to the east wing."

"Yes sir!"

Ten-odd soldiers said in unison and left with Zhao Hao. Just as he lifted his foot, he heard the shouts of the guards of the Dragon Manor from the backyard:

"Reporting to Director Zhao! In the east wing of the backyard, we found Captain Xiao's corpse! "

"What!?"

Zhao Hao was shocked at first, then quickly thought about it.

The matter was not complicated, it was just that in the middle of the night, the person disappeared the next day. It just so happened that they couldn't find him, so they had to investigate further. However, even if Master Xiao wanted to stay here, he could only leave behind a corpse.

The matter suddenly became simple and pointed straight at Family Head of Luo Family. Thinking back to what Xiao Yefeng had told him about what happened in the Astral Feather Sect yesterday, he had indeed captured a bald guard within the Luo Family caravan, because he suspected him to be a felon. But there was nothing amiss in the fact that Luo Family had invited Xiao Yefeng to kill him in the middle of the night!

"Director Zhao, Director Zhao?"

"Director Zhao?"

Zhao Hao thought for a while, making the soldiers wait. As soon as he saw Fang Si closed his eyes, Zhao Hao's eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he shouted: "Guard of the Long Residence, listen to my orders and immediately follow me to the backyard!"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

The ten or so people swiftly headed towards the backyard. Family Head of Luo Family, who had been wandering around in the front yard, heard this sound. While he was shocked, he also rushed to the back yard. Indeed, he didn't kill Xiao Yefeng yesterday, but his corpse had appeared in his manor! This was almost completely impossible!

Was he framed?
