The Melon-Eating Swordsman in the Ancient Dragon World

Chapter 273 Awakening of Huo Tianqing

Early the next morning, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou entered Taiyuan City and came to Tianquan Temple.

"How?" Dugu Yihe asked.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "The real King Jinpeng and Shangguan Danfeng have been dead for a long time, at least for several months."

Dugu Yihe said calmly, "Who is the murderer?"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed again, "Shangguan Feiyan."

"Who is Shangguan Feiyan?" Dugu Yihe asked.

"Shangguan Feiyan is Shangguan Jin's granddaughter." Lu Xiaofeng said, "Shangguan Danfeng who appears these days is her disguise."

Dugu Yihe looked at Lu Xiaofeng, "Did you kill her?"

Ye Xiuzhu's eyes lit up when she saw Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "She is missing."

Dugu Yihe stared at Lu Xiaofeng without saying anything, so Lu Xiaofeng could only tell her what happened when she went back.

Similar to the original work, when Lu Xiaofeng returned, he found that the legs of the fake Jinpeng King had been cut off, and then he helped Shangguan Xueer dig up Shangguan Danfeng's body in the garden.

Immediately afterwards, the fake King Jinpeng died, Shangguan Feiyan appeared, threatened Hua Manlou and Zhu Ting and his wife, and asked Lu Xiaofeng to kill Ximen Chuixue.

Next, Huamanlou appeared, but Lu Xiaofeng let Shangguan Feiyan go, and then Shangguan Feiyan disappeared.

But missing at the same time were Zhu Ting and his wife and Shangguan Xueer.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "I originally thought that the murderer would come to find me, but I didn't expect that he kidnapped Zhu Ting and the boss's wife."

Dugu Yihe's eyes flickered, "You said Shangguan Feiyan doesn't know that King Jinpeng has six toes?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, "Yes."

Su Shaoying was actually a little curious in her heart, wondering whether Shangguan Feiyan really didn't know or just pretended not to know. After all, it was Huo Xiu who was really complicit with her, not Huo Tianqing.

Could it be that Huo Xiu didn't tell her this on purpose?

Huo Xiu was using Shangguan Feiyan and Huo Tianqing, and it was justifiable not to tell her about it. But Shangguan Feiyan knew that Huo Xiu knew the secret but hid it from her. Didn't she keep a close eye on it?

unless……

Shangguan Feiyan actually wanted to use Lu Xiaofeng and Huo Tianqing to get rid of Huo Xiu!

That's right, what Shangguan Feiyan loves is money. Even after Huo Xiu dies, the money still belongs to her. Just by looking at Shangguan Feiyan subconsciously calling Ye Xiuzhu a bitch, it can be seen that Huo Tianqing is more satisfactory to her than Huo Xiu.

Tsk tsk, everyone really has their own little thoughts!

But Shangguan Feiyan ended up missing instead of dead, which means Huo Xiu didn't kill her.

Why?

Could it be that Huo Xiu knew that we had met Huo Tianqing and knew that without him there would be no way to frame Huo Tianqing?

"So..." Dugu Yihe asked, "You still don't know who is behind the scenes?"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "Who is the mastermind behind this? You shouldn't ask me now."

"That's right, I shouldn't ask you." Dugu Yihe nodded, and then looked at Ma Xiuzhen and the four girls, "Can any of you tell me who the person who tipped off Shangguan Feiyan was?"

Ma Xiuzhen and the four girls looked at each other, "Us?"

Su Shaoying said, "When Master told Lu Xiaofeng the secret of the six toes of the Golden Peng King the day before yesterday, apart from Master, me, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, you were the only four present."

Ma Xiuzhen and the four girls were horrified, "Us!"

The sweat on Ye Xiuzhu's temples was clearly visible, and then she found that Dugu Yihe and Su Shaoying's eyes were all focused on her.

It was obvious that she was the only one who had been a knight in Shanxi for a long time, and the other three women had no interaction with Huo Tianqing at all.

Then she collapsed.

Ye Xiuzhu's body softened and she immediately fell to her knees, "Master..."

Ma Xiuzhen, Sun Xiuqing, and Shi Xiuxue looked at Ye Xiuzhu in disbelief. They never expected that there was a traitor hidden among their sisters.

"Three..." Shi Xiuxue didn't know what to call Ye Xiuzhu for a moment, so she couldn't help but pull up Ye Xiuzhu's collar and scolded sternly, "Huo almost killed Master!"

Ye Xiuzhu's eyes were evasive, her eyes were blurry with tears, and she was too frightened to speak.

"It's Huo Tianqing." Dugu Yihe said calmly.

"It's Huo Tianqing." Lu Xiaofeng felt very painful because he had regarded Huo Tianqing as a friend.

Dugu Yihe suddenly stood up and held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand.

Lu Xiaofeng said hurriedly, "My friend is still in his hands."

Dugu Yihe narrowed his eyes, "Old Tianqin merged with hundreds of schools of thought and formed his own line. He was already powerful in the martial arts world fifty years ago. The power of the Phoenix Hand back then was still higher than that of your Lingxi Finger today. "

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Huo Tianqing is not Old Man Tianqin."

Dugu Yihe looked at Lu Xiaofeng, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll let you make the first move."

"Thank you!" Lu Xiaofeng said with cupped hands.

Huo Tianqing almost killed Dugu Yihe. Dugu Yihe had sufficient reasons to take action. Lu Xiaofeng's friend was not his friend, so Lu Xiaofeng had to express his gratitude.

Then Lu Xiaofeng left.

Dugu Yihe glanced at Ye Xiuzhu expressionlessly, and then looked at Su Shaoying, "Do you still think Huo Xiu is suspicious?"

Ye Xiuzhu's heart skipped a beat, and the three girls, Ma Xiuzhen, couldn't help but look at Su Shaoying.

Huo Xiu is also suspected?

Su Shaoying said, "Whether Huo Xiu is suspected depends on whether Huo Tianqing can produce evidence."

Dugu Yihe thought about Su Shaoying's previous analysis, and an idea came to his mind. Huo Xiu's suspicion was indeed still difficult to clear. After all, there were still many things that didn't make sense at this time.

Shangguan Feiyan should not be unaware of the relationship between the Great Golden Peng King and the three of them, so why did she make such a plan that was fake at first glance and determined not to let people tell the truth?

"Do you think Huo Tianqing can produce evidence?" Dugu Yihe asked.

"That depends on whether Huo Tianqing will suspect Huo Xiu." Su Shaoying smiled.

Dugu Yihe was a little surprised, "You let Huo Tianqing suspect Huo Xiu?"

Su Shaoying said as a matter of course, "Isn't this a very obvious thing?"

Dugu Yihe pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then let's wait."

Ma Xiuzhen and the other girls looked at Dugu Yihe, then at Su Shaoying. Why did Su Shaoying play tricks, and now the master also started to tell riddles, I always feel that my brain is not enough.

But now is not the time to worry about Huo Tianqing or Huo Xiu.

Ma Xiuzhen looked at Ye Xiuzhu and finally asked tentatively, "Master..."

Dugu Yihe said coldly, "Take her back to Emei and deal with her according to the sect rules."

Ye Xiuzhu's face was pale. She tipped off Huo Tianqing and colluded with him to kill her master. There was only one way to end her. She didn't want to be publicly executed in front of all the fellow disciples in the mountain.

Even so...

Not long after Ye Xiuzhu committed suicide, Dugu Yihe and Su Shaoying saw Lu Xiaofeng again.

Lu Xiaofeng's face was not good.

"What happened?" Dugu Yihe asked.

"Shangguan Feiyan died. She died in the Pearl Pavilion." Lu Xiaofeng said.

"Where are Zhu Ting and his wife?" Su Shaoying asked.

"They are also in the Pearl Pavilion. They have been saved." Lu Xiaofeng said.

Su Shaoying raised her eyebrows, and Ma Xiuzhen asked angrily, "Where is Huo Tianqing?"

It is true that Ye Xiuzhu is a traitor, but after all, they have been sisters for more than ten years, and Ma Xiuzhen has already put the blame on Huo Tianqing.

Lu Xiaofeng's tone was strange, "He took Shanxi Yan, Jinbei Shuangxiu and the Seven Heroes of the City to find Huo Xiu to avenge Shangguan Feiyan."
