Chapter 72

"The scene suddenly becomes quiet; the three bodyguards, stained with blood and holding blades, stand there stunned."

"And on the river surface at this moment, there is nothing; Heibei Lao Liu has disappeared into the river water."

"But Li Tangzhu knows that all of this is not over yet."

"He turns around and says in a sharp voice to the three bodyguards: You all saw it; are you accomplices of Li Tiansong?"

"The three bodyguards tremble, and many thoughts instantly arise in their minds."

"In this instant, the three simultaneously discard their blades and kneel down, calling out in unison: Li Tangzhu, it was Li Tiansong who committed treason; it has nothing to do with us!"

At this time, Zhang Yueshan, listening to the story on the second floor, is already livid and feeling uncomfortable all over.

He sighs: "These three people are not united; with the skills of the Dragon Head's bodyguards, they could have completely subdued Li Tangzhu at this time!"

"Then, by making up a story and shifting their own responsibility, they would have been completely cleared."

Yin Nanfeng asks puzzledly from the side: "Can't they be cleared just as well by shifting everything onto Heibei Lao Liu now?"

Zhang Yueshan looks at her coldly and says: "Naive."

"They are the Dragon Head's personal bodyguards; the Dragon Head was killed, so how can they still live?"

"And now that they have fallen into Li Tangzhu's trap, once Li Tangzhu sits firmly in the Dragon Head's position, it will be the three of them's death day!"

Hearing this, Yin Nanfeng finally understands.

But she still says: "Their choice is also a matter of having no other way."

"They say three monks have no water to drink; if there were only one person left today, he would definitely dare to fight Li Tangzhu to the death."

"But with three people, they will suspect each other! Fearing that if they make a move, others will come to stop them."

"The contest of human hearts is often the hardest to measure!"

Zhang Yueshan also nods; this scene of assassination and taking the position is indeed thrilling.

Now that Heibei Lao Liu is seriously injured and fallen into the river, it is unknown what will happen next.

Although later, he arrived in Changsha City alive.

But Zhang Yueshan is very curious about how he escaped the Gelao Society's pursuit in Sichuan and Shaanxi!

From Heibei Lao Liu's escape, it can also be seen that Li Tangzhu's death a few years later was definitely Heibei Lao Liu's revenge.

The events that happened during this period must also be very heart-pounding!

……

"Heibei Lao Liu escaped, and all the crimes of killing the Dragon Head were pinned on him by Li Tangzhu."

"But strangely, so many people from the Gelao Society searched the Jinshajiang River bank carpet-style, yet they failed to find any trace of Heibei Lao Liu."

"In fact, at this time, Heibei Lao Liu was hiding in Li Tangzhu's house!"

"A cook in Li Tangzhu's house had admired Heibei Lao Liu since he was a child, but basically no one knew the relationship between the two."

"After all, one was a lowly cook, and the other was the Tangzhu's foster son."

"Therefore, no one suspected the cook."

"Heibei Lao Liu, hiding in the cook's house, coughed every day; Li Tangzhu's shot had hit his lung."

"This caused him to feel severe pain whenever he breathed hard."

At this time, Old Lady Huo finally understands why Heibei Lao Liu smoked opium whenever he had the chance.

It is likely the root of the illness left by that shot!

Only by smoking opium could he alleviate his pain.

And that Falling Rain Blade Technique, although Zhang Lin spoke of it in glowing terms.

But in fact, in Changsha, Heibei Lao Liu never used the Falling Rain Blade Technique.

His physical condition at that time could no longer unleash moves with extremely fast attack speeds!

Yin Nanfeng, hearing that Heibei Lao Liu was hiding, suddenly trembles.

She blurts out: "Oh no! What about Run'er?"

At this time, Zhang Lin continues: "Heibei Lao Liu hid in the cook's house."

"And that shanty that everyone is familiar with suddenly became bustling with noise again."

"This day, a sturdy man came out of the shanty and stood outside the door."

"Another sturdy man walked slowly to his side; he looked up and smiled bitterly: After a few months, she doesn't look like a person anymore, sigh..."

"Li Tiansong must be dead; otherwise, Runniang is his woman, and suffering such torture, could he not come out?"

"The other person lowered his voice extremely low: Coming out means death; would he?"

"The sturdy man shook his head sadly: I don't hope he comes out; if he comes, we will die, but this woman is just too miserable..."

"At this moment, a shrill scream came from the shanty; the scream was so terrifying and sharp that it didn't sound like it could be made by a human."

Hearing this, some in the audience couldn't help but slap the table.

They started cursing one after another!

"Damn Li Tangzhu, if you have the ability, go one-on-one with Heibei Lao Liu; what kind of ability is it to torture a woman?"

"This woman is also too miserable; she just started to have a good life, and now she suffers such torture!"

"Sigh, I wonder if Runniang knows where Heibei Lao Liu is hiding; will she betray him?"

The audience's worries are also Zhang Yueshan's worries.

He says slowly: "Others don't know the relationship between Heibei Lao Liu and the cook, but Runniang definitely knows."

"If she betrays Heibei Lao Liu, then it's over."

Yin Nanfeng's expression is very ugly; she really cannot bear to see such a scene.

"She won't; even if she dies, she won't betray Heibei Lao Liu."

It must be said, women understand women.

Zhang Lin continues: "Heibei Lao Liu hid in the cook's house, hitting the wall with his fists every day until his hands were covered in blood."

"It's not that he didn't want to save her, but he really knew that as soon as he showed his face, he would definitely die!"

"Until more than half a year later, Runniang suddenly said she wanted to see Li Tangzhu; she knew where Heibei Lao Liu was."

"That day, she dressed up in all her finery, but anyone who saw her would be startled."

"In just half a year, a great beauty had turned into a living skeleton, without any human appearance; the more she dressed up, the more terrifying she looked."

"Everyone knew that Runniang didn't want to live anymore; how could Li Tangzhu not know?"

"But he still wanted to toy with this woman. In the end, Runniang did take out a dagger, but she stabbed it straight into her own heart."

"After being stabbed, she still called Heibei Lao Liu's name and said: Only Tiansong is a person. Then she breathed her last."
