Chapter 88: The Aftermath
"Boom!"
The sword was full of light, and the blood rain fell, and in the blink of an eye, the bloody corpse turned into pieces of minced flesh, each piece of flesh was evenly sized, and Chang Yan's round head became shattered.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
A large pit appeared in the ground, and the sword swept across, and pieces of minced meat were swept into the pit. The sword swept again, the crater was filled, and the ground was flat again, but there was an extra layer of blood in the air.
Liu Han looked at the ground, felt that there was no trace, turned to leave, reached the edge of the city, threw the long sword in his hand into the moat, and then jumped on the city wall, and quietly slipped back to the inn.
After returning to the room, Liu Han did not light the lamp, changed all the clothes on his body in the dark, and did not sleep, but sat down cross-legged and quickly entered a state of pranayama.
Chang Meng died, although he destroyed the corpse, but whether he could hide it or not, it is still unknown.
What's more, Chang Meng was put in the Luoma Water Village by that person, there must be a purpose, now that he is dead, even if the person can't be found and is missing, with that person's suspicious character, he will definitely send someone to investigate, if it is the person who was sent back then, with that guy's keenness, maybe he can find out some clues, at least, the destruction of the corpse is not clean.
Liu Han's mind couldn't help but turn, thinking about the various changes brought about by Chang Meng's death, in addition to alarming that person, there was also the situation in Pengcheng.
The situation in Pengcheng has two directions for development in the future: first, the upper and lower levels of Luoma Shuizhai will be provoked and will do everything they can to exterminate them; second, make peace with Kuaidaotang and Feiyantang, and calm the situation in Pengcheng as soon as possible, so as to stabilize Pengcheng and cut off the hope of the Cao Gang's counteroffensive, and even coerce Kuaidaotang and Feiyanmen to go south, unite with the Huaiyang Society, and then take a piece of interests from the Cao Gang.
Chang Meng's death, the impact on the imperial capital is not visible for the time being, he should hurry to the imperial capital and get out of this dangerous place.
It was dawn, Liu Han waited until the sun was three strokes before Shi Shiran went out, this time when he came out, he changed his outfit and became a scholar, holding a folding fan in his hand and hanging a thin sword on his waist.
After going around the city, he also deliberately went to the rudder of the Fallen Horse Water Village to take a look, this Fallen Horse Water Village is nominally a dark rudder, in fact, everyone knows that the Fallen Horse Water Village did not want to hide it at all.
Liu Han sat in the teahouse opposite the rudder for half a morning, there was no vigilance in the rudder, the people inside were very leisurely, not a little nervous, and there was no difference between the appearance and Chang Meng still inside.
It seems that this Chang Meng is a person who likes to be alone. After Liu Han figured it out, he couldn't help laughing, and after a while, he called Xiao Er to settle the account, and then went downstairs, Shi Shiran went to the south of the city.
After walking for a while, Liu Han turned into an alley again, turned a corner, Liu Han stopped, and after a while, a sound of footsteps sounded, and the two children chased after each other, turned the corner, and saw Liu Han standing there for a long time.
The two guys were stunned, Liu Han looked at them with a smile, the two of them were dressed up, pretending to be fine, and bypassed Liu Han to leave.
"I'm leaving. Liu Han said.
The two of them were stunned, with their knowledge, it would be good if they didn't find trouble with this poor scholar, but this poor sour didn't give up, and it seemed that he was looking for trouble with them.
"What's the matter, poor sour, what's the matter?" The guy with a gray face on the left was a little unconvinced, and looked at Liu Han provocatively, as if he wanted to suppress Liu Han's momentum.
Liu Han didn't say anything, smiled faintly, the man's eyes flickered, and the tip of the sword was against his throat, the man was stunned, and his legs were weak and he was about to kneel, Liu Han's sword tip was gently raised, and the guy couldn't kneel.
"What are you doing with me?" Liu Han suddenly pulled his face down.
"Small, small," the man on the side was a little shorter, and hurriedly said: "No, I didn't dare to follow the hero, I really didn't dare to follow the hero." ”
"Fart!" Liu Han scolded, with a slight increase in his hand, the tip of the sword pierced the skin of the ashes on his face, and the ashes on his face turned pale with fright: "You have followed Lao Tzu for three streets, and you haven't followed me yet, say, what are you doing?!"
"Small, small," the short boy hurriedly said: "The little one is the Divine Hand Gang, and when I see the bulging waist of the hero, I want to get a vote, the little one should be damned! The little one will be damned! I will never dare to do it again!"
"Divine Hand Gang?!" Liu Han was slightly stunned, this is a gang of thieves, even a gang like the Fast Knife Hall and Feiyan Hall will not look at them.
"Yes, yes, yes," the little man nodded repeatedly: "Our boss is the dog master in the east of the city." ”
Liu Han frowned slightly: "Do you know where the Quick Knife Hall and the Feiyan Hall went?"
The little man was stunned at first, Liu stared at him coldly, the little man was mixed on the street, and he was the most observant of words and colors, and the cold air on the little man's back was rising, knowing that if he didn't say the right thing, he would immediately kill himself, and hurriedly said: "We don't know where they went." ”
Liu Han's hand tightened, the tip of the sword went in for another half a minute, blood seeped out, the ash man's face was distorted, he didn't dare to speak, and he gave the little man a look, and the little man hurriedly said: "However, I know that one of their dark rudders is in the incense and candle shop on Liuhuai Street, and there are three people in it, all of whom are from the Kuaidaotang." ”
Liu Han nodded slightly, put away his sword and asked the names of the two guys, and then said, "Your names are already known, if I find out that you lied to me, don't blame me for being spicy." ”
The two of them put their hearts into their stomachs, nodded again and again, Liu Han asked a few more words about the fallen horse water village, but they didn't think about it, and they provoked the sadness of the two of them, and poured bitter water on their mouths.
"This gang of water bandits, as soon as they came, they changed the rules, our god hand gang is happy here, these water bandits are red-eyed, before the fast knife hall and Feiyan hall were there, they didn't care about us, but these grandsons, as soon as they came, they wanted us to listen to them, and they had to hand over the silver every month... ”
"After this gang of water bandits arrived in Pengcheng, there were many fewer fat sheep, and these grandsons also urged money every month, isn't this asking for our brothers' lives!"
"I heard that the heroes of the Cao Gang have retreated to Yangzhou, no matter what happens to us if this day is not good!"
...
Liu Han smiled in his heart, ignored the two of them, drove them away, and walked in the opposite direction.
Liuhuai Street is not far away, Liu Han arrived quickly, the incense and candle shop on the corner of the street is not big, the shopkeeper looks to be in his thirties, with a short beard under his chin, the two guys look quite capable, Liu Han Shi Ran came in.
"Guest officer, what do you want?" The guy who was scrubbing the counter hurriedly put down the work in his hand and came over to greet him, the shopkeeper raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Han, and without saying anything, he lowered his head again and continued to make his own calculations.
"I'm looking for Zhang Mei and Zhang Nuxia from Feiyan Hall, I don't know where your store knows where she is?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the store immediately changed, the shopkeeper's expression changed slightly, the two guys looked at Liu Han vigilantly, and one guy quickly closed the door of the store.
"What do you call this guest officer? We are all businessmen, no. ”
Before the shopkeeper's words were finished, Liu Han interrupted him: "Don't talk nonsense, since I have found you here, don't talk nonsense, so as not to weaken the reputation of our Kuaidaotang." ”
The shopkeeper's brows were still furrowed, and he said carefully: "Your Excellency, I don't seem to have seen it in the Quick Knife Hall." ”
"Of course I haven't seen it, I am friends with Brother Zhang Qiang and Zhang, a few months ago, we broke up in Lishi, Brother Zhang didn't tell you?
The shopkeeper looked Liu Han up and down, and asked tentatively: "Are you, Liu Moliu Daxia?"
"The hero doesn't dare to be, it's Liu. Liu Han said with a smile, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and the two guys also relaxed their vigilance.
The shopkeeper bowed his hand: "Brother Liu, our people have retreated to the outside of the city, Brother Zhang came before leaving, if Brother Liu came to him, please Brother Liu to the small pole town in the south of the city, and Feiyantang also retreated to the south of the city, but they retreated to the immortal master view in the south of the city, that is the women's view, it's just that the Zhang Mei Zhang Nuxia you are looking for is there, I don't know." ”
Liu Han nodded slightly: "Thank you, I won't go to Xiaopole Town, you can tell Brother Zhang, I have already been here, but I have other important matters, so I won't delay much, if he has something, he can go to the Immortal Master Temple to find me within three days, and after three days, I may leave." ”
The shopkeeper was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Liu, where are you going?"
"Don't ask. Liu Leng said: "Don't spread the news that I have been here, even if you tell Brother Zhang, you will only tell him alone." ”
Seeing Liu Han's serious expression, the shopkeeper didn't dare to ask again, so he couldn't stop nodding, Liu Han looked at the three of them, thought about it a little in his heart, turned around and came out.
The guy looked at his back and asked the shopkeeper with some puzzlement: "This is the Liu Mo that Senior Brother Zhang said, this guy is very bold, he dares to wander around the city like this." ”
The shopkeeper glared at him: "Liu Daxia has been here, you are rotten in your stomach, and no one can say anything!
The two guys hurriedly agreed, and the shopkeeper was afraid that the two of them would not know how to be young, so his tone was three points more stern: "Hear clearly, if anyone violates it, it will be dealt with by the rules of the hall!"
The two guys agreed awe-inspiringly, and the two of them went on their own, and the shopkeeper looked at the two of them and sighed softly, the two brothers are still shallow, this person obviously has to perform some secret mission, it is very dangerous to contact such a person, in order to keep it secret, it is common to kill people.
Liu Han really had this thought, but after going out, he changed his mind.
Chang Meng is already dead, that person is bound to send someone, if these two die at the same time, this is too much of a coincidence, with that person's mind, it is bound to follow this clue to chase down, it is likely to chase himself, it is better to keep this dark rudder, let that person check.
Those who think too much must be suspicious, let that guy guess.
Liu Han did not go to the Immortal Master Temple immediately, but walked around a few places in the city, watched the scenery for a long time in the famous Guanhu Tower in Pengcheng, chanted a few poems, and then Shi Shiran returned to the inn, and went to sleep after dinner, and left early the next morning.
Before leaving the city, he went to the market in the south of the city to buy a donkey, and rode out of the south gate, his dress and behavior were no different from those of the usual scholars in Pengcheng.
The Immortal Master View is not very far from the city, in the grass mountain outside the city, the grass mountain is not high, compared to the mountains around the imperial capital, this can only be regarded as a small hill, the Immortal Master View is on the grass mountain, this Immortal Master View is still the female view, for Mrs. Ziwei, the local fame is not big, and the incense is not prosperous.
Liu Han walked out of the south gate, and didn't go far before he noticed that someone was following behind him, he frowned slightly, and saw a small forest on the side of the road, so he rode in on a donkey, and the tail followed.
"What are you doing with me?" Liu Han stood beside the donkey, gently stroking the donkey's head to calm it down.
The man was carrying a hat, which was pressed so low that it covered most of his face, and he was a burly man with a knife hanging from his waist.
The man took off his hat and looked at Liu Han, who couldn't help but smile.
