Chapter 343: Hongdu Prefecture Master: This investigation of the murderer won't take long

Li Family!

When Liu Xinyuan of the Hongdu Prefecture Government Office arrived at the Li Family and saw Li Zhe and other Li family members lying in a pool of blood, the corners of his mouth twitched constantly.

"Lord, this......"

"Something big has happened."

Liu Xinyuan smiled bitterly. He received the report from the city-guarding captain that an expert had entered Hongdu Prefecture, and was vigilant at the first moment. The Li Family was not far from the Government Office, and when he felt a powerful aura emanating from here, he immediately rushed over, but it was still a step late.

"Lord, could it be that a spy from the Han Kingdom sneaked in and slaughtered the entire Li Family?"

"Shut up."

Liu Xinyuan scolded. He saw a piece of paper placed on the table in the courtyard. With his eyesight, he could naturally see the words on the paper clearly.

Lord Jia Nanzhu.

Former Deputy Hall Master of the Martial Administration Hall, the Prefecture Master of Quzhou Prefecture twenty years ago.

Twenty years ago, he happened to be learning martial arts in the Quzhou Prefecture Martial Hall and had seen this Lord Jia, and had also listened to Lord Jia's martial arts teachings and guidance.

This letter was left for him by Lord Jia.

【Xinyuan: The Li Family sent people to assassinate Lin Chen's family, which was discovered by this old man. Lin Chen is this old man's disciple, how could this old man stand by and watch? Today, slaughtering the entire Li Family is the act of this old man alone. Xinyuan, as the Prefecture Government Office, can report this matter according to duty — Jia Nanzhu left】

Who is Lin Chen?

Liu Xinyuan naturally knew, Daliang's young generation's number one genius, first place on the Hidden Dragon List Heavenly List.

It's just that he didn't expect Lord Jia to be Lin Chen's teacher, and even more didn't expect the Li Family to actually send people to assassinate Lin Chen's family.

How dare the Li Family?

This is a great violation of Daliang's taboo.

If this wasn't left by Lord Jia himself, if it were someone else, he would absolutely not believe this matter.

"Lord, what should we do next?"

A close subordinate beside him asked. The entire Li Family was slaughtered. If this matter reached the battlefield and reached Lord Li's ears, it would inevitably lead to rage, and their Hongdu Prefecture would also have the responsibility of failing to protect.

Unless the perpetrator is caught and an explanation is given to Lord Li.

"Close the Li Family's main gate, do not allow these servants of the Li Family to leave. This official will report this matter to the above personally."

Catch people?

Liu Xinyuan never thought about it at all. Lord Jia is a Third Rank martial artist. Although he has started to go downhill, he is far from what he can compare to, unless he chooses to fight Lord Jia to both sides suffering.

However, there is no need for that.

He believes Lord Jia would not lie about this matter. The Li Family really took action against Lin Chen's family. Lord Jia could also report this matter to the imperial court, and the imperial court would inevitably punish the Li Family, but Lord Jia was clearly afraid of long nights and many dreams, afraid that Li Yuan would use means to protect his son, so he used this extreme means to take revenge.

He had no dealings with the Li Family, but he had a bit of incense and fire relationship with Lord Jia, and the Li Family taking action against Lin Chen's family also made him feel disdain in his heart.

Which side to help, he naturally knew in his heart.

Reporting to the above must be reported, but he can investigate for a few hours, delaying a little time for Lord Jia. As for this paper...... Liu Xinyuan held it with his hand, and it turned into powder in his palm.

Sorry, he hadn't seen the letter left by Lord Jia.

Who the murderer is, he still needs to investigate.

The reason why he didn't report it now is because he didn't investigate any clues. After investigating some clues, he would report it to the above.

Li Fire Path.

Deep in the valley, two middle-aged men were currently guarding the valley entrance boredly.

"I applied to the Duke twice to go to the battlefield, but the Duke didn't agree. You say, what are we doing not going to the battlefield like this? Could it be that we let that group of young people go to the battlefield?"

"Old Qian, the Duke's arrangement must have his reasons. There is Li Fire under this formation, so we must prevent others from breaking in and destroying the formation."

"The Li Fire in the formation is already slowly awakening, there is no need to guard it at all, no one can enter, it would be better to let me go to the battlefield and kill a few more Zheng Kingdom martial artists and Han Kingdom martial artists." The middle-aged man called Old Qian muttered a few words: "In the past, we were the southernmost part of Daliang, often fighting with the Nansha San Dao. Now there is no movement on the Nansha San Dao side, just watching the battle between Lingxiao City and the Zheng Kingdom, and the northern border and the Han Kingdom. My hands are itching."

"Old Qian, I hope we never have the chance to go to the battlefield. It's not that I'm afraid of death. If the imperial court doesn't conscript our Zhennan Army, it means that in the war with the Han Kingdom and the Zheng Kingdom, our Daliang is not at a disadvantage. But once our Zhennan Army is conscripted, what it means, Old Qian, you should be clear."

Hearing this, Old Qian was also silent.

Of course he knew what it meant for the imperial court to conscript the Zhennan Army.

The Zhennan Army is Daliang's southern defense line. Since Duke Fang led the troops, the Zhennan Army has recovered all the territories in southern Daliang, leaving only one Nansha San Dao.

If the imperial court wants to mobilize their Zhennan Army north, it means Daliang is at a disadvantage in the war with the Han Kingdom and the Zheng Kingdom, and the martial artists of other paths are no longer enough.

"Let's just guard here well, until later......"

Before the other middle-aged man's words fell, his expression suddenly shook, and he and Old Qian looked at the jade stele at the same time.

At this moment, the jade stele vibrated, cracks suddenly appeared below, and flames shot into the sky.

"Not good, the Li Fire is completely awakening and about to break free."

The expressions of the two changed instantly: "Old Qian, you watch here, I'll go notify the Lord and the others."

The companion's figure quickly headed toward the valley entrance. Old Qian stared at the jade stele with a serious expression. The task the Duke gave them was to pay attention to the situation of the formation below at all times. Once the Li Fire completely awakened, they had to notify immediately.

Ten breaths later, several powerful auras came together. Seven old men appeared at the valley entrance. Fang Funan said in a deep voice: "No matter what, absolutely cannot let the Li Fire break free from the formation and enter the Li Fire Path range."

"Yes!"

Several old men agreed in unison. These old men were all high-grade martial artists. This Zhennan Army had a total of ten high-grade martial artists. Except for three responsible for military affairs, the others all came.

Fang Funan looked at the jade stele in front of him, his expression somewhat complex.

Two months ago, he was the first to send the news that Lin Chen didn't come out of the formation back to the imperial court. The Left Prime Minister and Lord Liang both came here, but unfortunately, they couldn't enter the formation.

The power of the Li Fire was too strong, even a First Rank martial artist couldn't bear it.

Back then, the former dynasty Qi used the power of the whole country to seal this Li Fire. After so many years, the power of this Li Fire not only didn't decrease but also increased.

Afterward, he also investigated clearly that the reason why the Li Fire awakened was because of the actions on the Nansha San Dao side.

With his character, he wished he could lead troops to level the Nansha San Dao. However, the Han Kingdom and the Zheng Kingdom declared war on Daliang at the same time, launching attacks on Daliang from the northern border and Lingxiao City directions. If he were to go to war with the Nansha San Dao again, the number of martial artists in Daliang would be difficult to maintain this battle.

The war between countries is not simply considering the strength of the two countries. Besides their Daliang, the Han Kingdom, and the Zheng Kingdom, there are six other countries on this land. For example, the Xiang Kingdom has always been close to the Han Kingdom and is eyeing Daliang covetously. If he were to go to war with the Nansha San Dao, who can guarantee that the Xiang Kingdom wouldn't launch a sneak attack on Daliang?

Keeping the Zhennan Army is not only to deter the south but also to deter other countries.

Daliang has not reached the point of being at the end of its rope.

But this hatred, he, Fang Funan, will definitely avenge.

Dozens of breaths later, an old man at the scene had a look of surprise in his eyes.

"The fire waves actually subsided?"

According to their estimation, the Li Fire awakening and breaking the seal, the fire waves would only be stronger than the last, and finally completely break the seal.

But these fire waves only lasted for dozens of breaths and suddenly disappeared.

Fang Funan's figure flashed and appeared below the jade stele. When he felt the situation inside the formation, there was also a look of surprise in his old eyes.

The fire waves that originally filled the entire formation had retreated.

Inside the formation.

A ten-zhang-tall giant in the sea of fire was fighting a fire dragon.

Every collision of the fire dragon made the giant's figure stagger, but the flames sprayed by the fire dragon, falling on the giant, failed to cause any harm to the giant at all.

Although the giant's figure was huge, his movements were extremely swift. He grabbed the fire dragon several times, but every time he grabbed the fire dragon, the fire dragon dissipated, turned into flames and slipped from his palms, and finally reorganized not far away.

Neither side could do anything to the other.

ps: Sorry, I encountered something today, one chapter first, I will make up for it with three chapters tomorrow.
