Chapter 1446

"Sealed!" The white-clothed merchant said mysteriously, "It's the King's birthday, do you know how many nobles and rich merchants passed through Mangzhou at that time? But the official couldn't care about so much and sealed the city directly, and it didn't open until two days later!"

"Did you catch the murderer?" The yellow-clothed merchant asked casually, then waved his hand, "Go, go, don't listen, don't listen, three of your ten messages are fake! Even if Mangzhou seals the city, it won't be because General Xue and the old man Qi were harmed. They are such powerful figures, how could they be assassinated in the country?"

"Believe it or not, this is true, I can swear by my old mother!" The white-clothed merchant waved the tongs, "The upper-class officials and nobles already know. I passed by Xue's mansion in Tianshui City today and saw the entrance blocked tightly, with one carriage after another coming to express condolences."

The yellow-clothed merchant snorted: "How do you know that people are there to express condolences, not normal visits? With the power of General Xue and old man Qi, how many people in Tianshui City have to look at their faces? Besides, if there is a funeral in his family, why don't you see cloth hanging?"

"Are you confused? The King's birthday is approaching, who dares to hold a funeral at this time to touch bad luck?" The white-clothed merchant laughed, "Mangzhou is not far from here, at most two or three days, this news will spread in Tianshui City!"

Such a big news without cover, the nobles know it, and the people will soon know it too.

"Assuming, assuming what you said is true." The yellow-clothed merchant still couldn't suppress his gossip heart, "What about the murderer, caught or not?"

"The murderer is still at large, who do you think it is?" The white-clothed merchant threw a piece of meat onto the stove, sizzling, "Great Emperor Jiuyou!"

"The Great Emperor Jiuyou in black clothes, black pants, and black face?" The yellow-clothed merchant laughed, "Okay, don't listen, you are getting more and more outrageous."

"Black pants and black face?" Dong Rui was strange, couldn't help but interrupt, "Why is this image different from what I heard?"

The two merchants were startled.

This courtyard is not big, but the sizzling sound of roasting meat and the noise of the crowd are endless, and they have to shout to let the other party hear.

The ears of the next table are really sharp.

The yellow-clothed merchant immediately said: "We didn't say anything!"

The white-clothed merchant waved his hand: "What are you afraid of? Everything I said is true. Such a big thing, everyone will know in a few days."

Just then, a voice suddenly interrupted: "That's right, Xue Zongwu is dead."

The two merchants were startled again, turned their heads to look, but it was the three big men at the diagonal table.

All three were tall and strong, dressed in brocade, but the fabric was spliced in two colors, just like a soft cloth embroidered on the chest. The person who spoke first had curly hair, the clothes were black and red, and there were three simple golden earrings on his right ear.

There are ears across the table, and there are several. The yellow-clothed merchant said helplessly: "Let's not mention this, okay?"

The leader laughed: "What are you afraid of? Everything your companion said is true. Tianshui City is under martial law everywhere, searching inns every three days, wishing to turn over our bottoms to see, just because General Xue Zongwu and his father-in-law were assassinated, and your Royal Court is terrified."

No wonder the city gate of Tianshui City is ridiculously strict, not just because the King's birthday is approaching.

Xue Zongwu died in Mangzhou, which is only a few days away from Tianshui City. The murderer committed the crime there, turned around and came to Tianshui City to make trouble, or what if he destroyed the King's birthday?

Must guard against it.

He said "you," and the two merchants also noticed: "Where are you from?"

"Luodian." The big man looked at He Lingchuan and the two, "What about you?"

These two don't look like merchants, especially He Lingchuan, who has an extraordinary bearing, probably a noble son from somewhere.

Dong Rui reported his family name: "We are from the Yangshan Islands."

The big man said "Oh," the expression on his face was equivalent to "Never heard of it," but the two subordinates at the table reminded: "Sect Master, that is an island in the West Sea, and the backup grain and grass for the Allied Forces come from there."

The big man said "Oh" again, this time probably having some impression.

He Lingchuan looked at the saber he put on the table.

The blade was in the scabbard, only known to be longer and more curved than Fusheng; the handle was a bit old, and a red jade knot hung on the tassel, with five gray-white round beads hanging, each smaller than a fingernail.

The round beads were very smooth, obviously polished, but the shades were different.

The big man noticed He Lingchuan's gaze and also looked at his saber: "What?"

He Lingchuan pointed to the long knife: "That's a bone bead, right?"

The big man took a sip of wine: "You know?"

"I heard that Luodian people always leave a souvenir after killing a strong person to show their merit."

The big man laughed and grabbed a round bead: "This is my father's killer, I successfully took revenge at seventeen!"

He grabbed the second round bead, the color was gray with a bit of blue: "Fifteen years ago, a North Sea monster."

The third round bead: "Yao Nation old general, Xu Ye!"

The listeners were moved.

This person actually killed a general of the Yao Nation?

This person killed a general of the Yao Nation, and can still sit here openly? — This is the most incredible thing.

The big man smiled, waiting to see the surprised expressions of the four.

The white-clothed merchant's face was indeed straight: "What should I call you?"

"Qu Ruhai."

He Lingchuan felt a move in his heart. Tianshui City was indeed gathered from all directions at this time. He just found a restaurant to eat, and he met the Left Sect Master of the Luodian Nation! He had been on the Flash Gold Plain for several months, and he had a good understanding of the size of the forces on the plain. This big man called himself Qu Ruhai, from the Luodian Nation, killed a general of the Yao Nation, and two subordinates called him "Sect Master." If they didn't lie, this big man should be the cousin of the Luodian Nation King, the Left Sect Master Qu Ruhai! Luodian Nation warriors are known for their ferocity, and Qu Ruhai is a fierce general. He Lingchuan knew that the Luodian Nation and the Yao Nation had some territorial disputes and had several conflicts, and Yao Nation officials and generals died in the conflicts, such as the Yao Nation old general Xu Ye mentioned by Qu Ruhai.

To this day, the bilateral relationship is not very good. Xue Zongwu was ordered to guard the northern border for many years, guarding against these "barbarians" of the Luodian Nation.

Yao King's birthday, Luodian Nation people also came? These thoughts flashed through his mind, and He Lingchuan also arched his hands: "So it's Sect Master Qu, disrespectful, disrespectful! We came from Zhuo'an and don't know about the incident in Mangzhou yet."

"You are lucky. If you took the Mangzhou route, you wouldn't be able to come over now. Mangzhou is still searching and reviewing the whole city, and there are still a large number of teams stranded." Qu Ruhai laughed, "Two days ago we were still in Mangzhou, the official was nervous when they saw us, thinking we were the murderers!"

He is a Luodian general. After Xue Zongwu was killed, Mangzhou would of course regard him as a key suspect.
