C73 Informant assassinated

On the second day, because he was afraid that something would change, Shao Jian and the others left Miluo Town early in the morning, and walked along the river towards Li Zhang's residence. On the other hand, Qiu Shiyuan had already brought everyone there once yesterday, so he chose to secretly follow a group of people this time.

Because they had already walked through this path once and were extremely familiar with it, they only used half the time to arrive at Li Zhang's thatched cottage's entrance. Seeing that the door was closed, not a single sound came from inside.

Zhang Wudie could not help but mutter: "Did that guy run away? If I say that I can't trust him, you all just won't believe me.

Shao Jian said: "He hasn't even entered the room yet, how do you know that he has escaped?"

Zhang Wudie said: "Does that even need to be asked? He clearly knows that we are coming today, why are you still closing your door tightly right now? You should be welcoming us."

Su Sanshaoxiaozhuodao: "Do you think that others are like you, born to be mistresses? There's a palanquin outside and there's even maids and servants inside." Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Zhang Wudie 'hmph' said: "Su San Xiao, don't interrupt us. If you don't believe it, go up and knock on the door. See if anyone is opening the door."

Su San Xiao laughed and walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked on it a few times, then shouted: "Li Zhang, we are here..." No one answered, so they repeated it again. There was still no response, and everyone's heart gradually sank as if they had sensed something.

Su San Xiao turned his head in confusion and said to everyone, "That's impossible, why is there no answer? Is it really as Miss Wu Die said, that guy really ran away? "

Zhang Wudie had a complacent look, and said clearly: "How is it? My guess is correct, we were all deceived by that guy. "

Shao Jian frowned slightly as he said doubtfully, "That's impossible. It seems like he wasn't lying to us yesterday? Is he still sleeping? "

Zhang Wudie laughed, "Do you think everyone is like you, a blockhead? They sleep like a dead pig all day, I don't even know if they threw you into the Miluo River to raise fish." With that, she giggled at Shao Jian. Everyone laughed along.

Shao Jian laughed bitterly: "Alright, since no one is opening the door, let's go in and take a look for ourselves. It's still as we did yesterday, Shao Feng, Jian Bing, and Zong Bao will stay behind. Wu Die, Third Young Master, follow me to the back, they won't be able to escape even if they wanted to." With that, everyone prepared everything.

Zhang Wudie muttered: "If she wanted to run, he would have disappeared a long time ago, why would she wait for us to stop him. This is too much, we might as well just charge in through the front door."

Shao Jian laughed helplessly, and did not answer. He was completely helpless against this unruly Zhang Wudie.

After arriving at the house, Shao Jian looked at Zhang Wudie and Su San Xiao, then leaped up and broke through the window. Zhang Wudie and Su San Xiao followed suit and entered the house the same way. As for Chen Shaofeng and the other two in front, when they heard the commotion, they directly smashed open the door and rushed in. This posture was no different from when the constables were catching the wanted criminals.

Everyone was able to enter the house, but everything in front of them caused them to be dumbfounded. The stench of blood filled the entire house, making them feel nauseous. They lowered their heads and saw a person lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

Seeing that, everyone's bodies could not help but tremble, because the person lying on the ground resembled Li Zhang. Just then, the man's body twitched slightly, Chen Shaofeng who was standing beside him immediately squatted down and gently flipped him over.

Everyone was startled, he was Li Zhang, his eyes were white, his lips were purple, and traces of blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, with a glance, it was obvious that he was struck hard by an expert with a palm to his chest.

Chen Shaofeng looked up at everyone and said embarrassedly: "I don't know how to point the acupuncture point, which one of you can help him stop the bleeding first."

Su San Xiao immediately squatted down, his fingers quickly pressed on some of the important points on Li Zhang's chest, and then placed them on the side of his nose to feel for Qi, then raised his head and said: "My Qi is weak, seems like I cannot hold on for much longer, how about I try putting my Qi into his body to give it a try?"

Everyone nodded with a depressed look on their faces. Shao Jian squatted down and gently supported Li Zhang, while Su San Xiao placed both of his hands tightly on Li Zhang's back, bringing a warm feeling into his body.

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, Li Zhang's eyelids moved a few times, his lips started trembling, and his throat made two 'gulp, gulp' sounds. He probably swallowed down two pieces of blood clots that were pressed into his throat, and then he slowly opened his soulless eyes to look at everyone, his mouth did not make the slightest bit of noise, but instead caused a few coughs, and the chaotic Qi in his body immediately started to stir, as a mouthful of blood sprayed out, he tightly grabbed onto Shao Jian and Su San Xiao's sleeves, and gasped for breath.

Seeing that he could lose his breath at any time, Shao Jian quickly tapped him on his back with a hand, placed his hand on it, and slowly injected a gentle wave of Innate Qi into Li Zhang's body. When his Qi calmed down, he asked: "Who did this to you?"

Li Zhang stuttered, "One … One Meng... Meng... Black... "The man in white …" After saying this, he was panting heavily again.

Shao Jian asked excitedly: "Why did he make a move on you?"

Li Zhang stuttered, "Because... Because I... As you said yesterday... When they arrived at that person, his name was Zhang Shan, and he lived in a forest across the river. The black clothed man wanted to kill him … "Kill …" Because he was too excited, he could not continue on any further. He let out a burst of hurried breathing.

Shao Jian quickly said: "Don't be in such a hurry, speak slowly, what happened exactly?"

Li Zhang lightly nodded his head and continued, "Because I found out some inside information from Zhang Shan, the black clothed man was the tomb robber, he was afraid that the matter would be exposed, and thus wanted to silence everyone by killing them." After taking a few deep breaths, he said anxiously, "Hurry and go..." Find that Zhang Shan, I was too late for him … He would also be silenced by the man in black, quickly … "Hurry up and go …" Another mouthful of blood gushed out.

Shao Jian said: "Rest for a while first, and don't be anxious. It's all our fault, as long as we find the black-clothed man, we will definitely avenge you." Everyone could not help but nod their heads.

Li Zhang laughed miserably: "I'm almost out of options. I'm already satisfied that you can trust an evil thief like me. Even if I have to atone for the sins I've committed all these years, you don't have to worry about me. Leave quickly, otherwise … No... and … After which, the blood in his body surged. His entire body spasmed, his eyes widened, and his head tilted to the side.

Shao Jian sighed, the Spirit Qi in his body started to fluctuate, he raised his hand and closed Li Zhang's eyes, then stood up and spoke to everyone: "Let's go, let this place disappear along with the fire."

Everyone had a rather deep feeling in their hearts. A person who was used to evil stealing and being miserably killed because of someone else, it seemed like he had not truly fallen into the demonic path. He had the same nature as Qiu Shiyuan, and also had a kind side.

At this moment, Zhang Wudie continuously berated herself for what she had just said in a low voice: "I didn't think that despite being evil, he had such a kind nature.

Shao Jian patted Zhang Wudie's shoulders to console her: "I can't blame you. That's the truth, not something that anyone can do." He sighed and walked out of the hut with the others. Then he set fire to the hut along with his master. Finally, all that was left on the ground was a pile of ashes.

Yang Zongbao said: "We should hurry across the river to find that Zhang Shan, if not all of the clues Li Zhang found with his death will be cut off."

Everyone nodded and came to the river bank. They waved their hands and called over a fishing boat. The fisherman was an old man in his sixties. He steadied the boat by the shore and asked with a smile, "You young people want to cross the river?"

Shao Jian bowed to him, then said with a slight smile. "Yes, I'll have to trouble you to take us there."

The old man kindly smiled and said, "Come up."

Everyone gave the old man a respectful smile before boarding the fishing boat.

The old man turned his head towards the group of people and said, "Sit properly." With that, he propped up the long bamboo pole in his hand, and the fishing boat left the riverbank, slowly sailing towards the heart of the river.

Everyone looked at the shining Miluo River and could not help but feel refreshed, so they all walked out of the cabin and stood at the bow of the boat, the cool breeze blowing by. Everyone suddenly felt refreshed, they inhaled the fragrant scent of nature, and in the middle of the river, a group of cheerful little fish would pass by the fishing boats, some of them even jumping out of the water to show off to the people on the boats their unique swimming skills.

It was as if Zhang Wudie had never been on the boat before, she was standing at the bow of the ship in panic and panic, her body swaying back and forth, she anxiously grabbed Shao Jian's arm and leaned her head on his shoulder, gasping for breath: "You scared me, if I fell down, I'd be done for."

Shao Jian turned his head and looked at her tenderly, then laughed: "You are afraid at times, right?"

Zhang Wudie raised her head and stared at him: "I'm a girl, there will always be a time when I'm afraid." With that, she leaned his head back against Shao Jian's shoulder.

The old man turned his head to glance at the couple, chuckled, and continued rowing his boat.

After a while, the speed of the boat gradually slowed down. The old man stopped the fishing boat on the shore and smiled at everyone. "We're here. Slow down."

After Shao Jian and his group bid farewell to the kind old fisherman, they went ashore to look for Zhang Shan's residence. They followed the location indicated by Li Zhang, and arrived at a forest not long after, and searched back and forth in the forest. Suddenly, they saw a wooden house not too far away.

At this time, Chen Jianbing, who had not spoken all this while, spoke to everyone, "This time, let me do it." As he spoke, he walked forward and knocked on the door a few times. Then, he shouted, "Is anyone here?"

After a moment, the door slowly opened a crack and a head peeked out. He glanced suspiciously at the crowd and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Chen Jianbing did not directly answer him, and asked: "Are you Zhang Shan?"

The man looked at Chen Jianbing warily: What business do you have with me? Why did you come here? "

Chen Jianbing said: "Do you know a person called Li Zhang? He told us to look for you. "

That person 'oh', looked around carefully at everyone, then opened the door and said: "Come in."

After Shao Jian and the rest entered the house, he immediately closed the door from the inside, and turned around: "I am Zhang Shan."

His answer was within everyone's expectations. Shao Jian said: "Li Zhang is dead, the immortal is currently in danger too."

Zhang Shan calmly replied, "This is something that I have already anticipated. Since I promised Li Zhang to tell you all everything that I know, feel free to ask any questions you have."

Shao Jian changed the topic and asked: "Your nature isn't bad, and you seem to be quite loyal and trustworthy, but why are you willing to become a demon?"

A complicated look appeared in Zhang Shan's eyes, and he immediately said: "These are not the questions you want to ask, if there are no other matters, please leave."

Laughing lightly, Shao Jian said: "Since you are not willing to answer this, then let us turn to the main topic." He slowed down and asked, "Who was the person who hired you?"

Zhang Shan said: "It's a middle-aged man with a rich appearance and gorgeous clothes. Behind him, there's also a black robed man in black behind him, but he rarely appears, he should be the mastermind."

Shao Jian nodded his head: "We thought of that too, but we couldn't find him, so we had no way to question him."

Zhang Shan said: "I have also never seen the true face of this black-clothed man. Every time he appears, his face would be covered with a black cloth, and the only recognizable thing is that he is tall and sturdy, and his voice was low.

Shao Jian said: "We also found traces of an inner force expert hitting Li Zhang's chest, do you remember the appearance of the middle-aged man who was directly connected to you?"

Zhang Shan recalled that person's appearance, and then said: "I remember, as long as I see him, I will definitely be able to recognize him. It's just that after I helped them settle their matters, he has never appeared."

, who was standing by the side, quickly asked: "Then do you know where he is staying, and where you met him before?"

Zhang Shan shook his head and said: "This I do not know, he does not look like a local. Furthermore, the locations he meets up with are always different, I am unable to find him, and only waiting for him to contact me."

Seeing that this route would not work, Yang Zongbao sighed: "Looks like these two people's plans are quite thorough, not a single flaw is left behind."

Zhang Jiming continued: "Since ancient times, evil cannot triumph over evil, no matter how meticulous their plans are, there will always be areas that they have missed out, as long as we carefully search for them, we will definitely find them."

Suddenly, Zhang Shan said softly: "I remember, I heard them talking about one before …"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of wind breaking. The door of the room was suddenly forced open by a powerful force, and soon after, a row of silver needles as thin as a cow's hair shot out from outside the door.

Everyone in the room was shocked and quickly dodged to the side. "Chi!" "Chi!" With a few light sounds, Zhang Shan, who was behind him, was caught off guard, and a dozen or so silver needles that were as thin as a cow's hair shot onto his body, only revealing a short end that released a green light outside. His eyes were filled with fear, and then, his body slowly fell backwards.

Chen Shaofeng, Chen Jianbing and Yang Zongbao immediately rushed forward to support Zhang Shan, and gently placed him on their bodies, while Shao Jian, Zhang Wudie, Su San Xiao and Zhang Jiming quickly shot out of the door, planning to intercept the person who was sneakily attacking them.
