Chapter 386 Almost Exposed

Another morning has arrived. People who got up early to make a living gradually started to move around on the streets. From time to time, breakfast stalls would hear discussions about the fire outside the city a few days ago.

It is said that the government troops set a mountain on fire, and the flames shot up to the sky. Even in the middle of the night, many people saw it with their own eyes.

There is no entertainment in this era. Any little thing will trigger public opinion, not to mention such a big commotion. It has long been the top trending search in the city.

The initial rumors were normal, such as accidentally setting the mountain on fire when setting off firecrackers, and the tree demon that was struck by winter thunder and other disasters.

But when it was learned that it was the government troops who set the fire, the rumors turned in a strange direction.

Some people said that there was a big monster on the mountain, some said that there was an ancient tomb on the mountain, and some said that burning a mountain on New Year's Day was a festive occasion...

The official notice actually made it very clear that the government troops did this to suppress bandits.

The people chose not to believe it.

It is normal for the army to be responsible for suppressing bandits, but if there are few bandits, they can just send people up the mountain to catch them. There is no need to make such a big fuss. Otherwise, it means that there are many bandits.

But bandits will not appear out of thin air. At the beginning, there must be only a few people who can't survive and become bandits, and slowly more and more people gather.

And there is no news of people who can't survive in the surrounding areas of Liangcheng. Even if it is expanded to the scope of Liuzhou, there is no such thing. In recent years, it has been quite good weather.

If they are refugees from other countries, then such a large number of bandits passing through, do you think the official army is blind?

So for the bandit theory, although it was officially announced, no one believed it.

Of course, the government doesn't care whether it is believed or not. If you want to gossip, just gossip. The government just strengthened patrols and supervision, especially the inspection of suspicious people and those with Western appearance characteristics.

After this battle, the largest Tianlang Sect stronghold in Liuzhou was eradicated, and a large number of sect members were either burned to death or became prisoners of the government army. The government was very satisfied with this result.

As for the Jianghu people, it can be said that it was just so-so.

The scattered people were very happy, feeling that they had really participated in the Jianghu event and had become famous.

But when the disciples of the big sects, especially the masters who led the team, gathered together to discuss, the expressions on their faces did not seem very beautiful, especially when the object of discussion was Liu Tianquan's body.

Yang Yiyi said she was very panicked.

After dealing with Liu Tianquan, Yang Yiyi checked carefully and confirmed that nothing on her body had fallen at the scene. Before leaving, she kicked away her footprints.

However, when Yang Yiyi came back with the large army and was waiting for the doctor to come to treat her injuries, she saw someone carrying Liu Tianquan's body back.

It was clearly placed in the cave, but it could be found.

Yang Yiyi panicked at the time, fearing that someone would see something related to her from the body.

But Li Chengxi had told her that if someone brought back Liu Tianquan's body, she should not panic, just pretend to be curious and look around with others, and don't worry about anything else.

Yang Yiyi was worried that they would find her hair or something on Liu Tianquan's body, after all, she had used the Iron Head Skill on Liu Tianquan, but fortunately this did not happen. Several people just studied Liu Tianquan's body and did not seem to notice Yang Yiyi's panic.

The cave where the body was located was connected to the secret room in the main hall of the village, and the entrance to the secret room was never closed from beginning to end. It was only a matter of time before it was discovered.

But to be honest, when the body was brought back, Li Chengxi also regretted it a little.

Xumi Realm cannot hold living things, and I don't know if the body will work. I should have tried it at that time, but the fire was about to burn over, and it might burn the rope left when going up the mountain. Li Chengxi was anxious to ask Yang Yiyi to run away, and he didn't think of this at all, which was a mistake.

If it weren't for his physical condition, Li Chengxi might have asked Yang Yiyi to drag Liu Tianquan's body out and throw it into the fire to put an end to it, which would be better than leaving it there.

Liu Tianquan's body being discovered is a little more troublesome than his disappearance.

Anyone can see that the big hole on Liu Tianquan's chest is a fatal injury, and it can also be seen that this high-temperature attack that burns the heart to ashes is not something that martial arts can do, plus the location of the body.

What would the Liu family think after receiving the above information?

They might think that a guy who has a grudge against the Liu family and has a unique hidden weapon killed Liu Tianquan.

Although the Liu family is a dog coin, they have a high reputation in the world and have never had any enemies. Since it is not open, it must be hidden.

As for the enemies related to the hidden things...

It's just the young women who escaped from the prison recently.

In other words, the Liu family may associate Liu Tianquan's body with the suspects, including Yang Yiyi, who escaped at the time.

It will definitely take a long time for the Liu family to narrow down the scope, but Yang Yiyi is definitely a suspect.

With the girl's current ability, it is difficult to deal with Liu Tianquan alone. If the Liu family brings a large force, it will be troublesome.

However, this is the worst possibility. A few months ago, he was just a prisoner, and a few months later, he suddenly had a high-energy weapon that could shoot through people, and he took the opportunity to kill Liu Tianquan alone. It is hard to believe that such a thing would happen.

At most, the Liu family just raised their vigilance, and they might attribute Liu Tianquan's death to the Tianlang Cult. The possibility of directly suspecting Yang Yiyi is still very low.

Yang Yiyi was not good at lying, and her face was completely unable to hide the truth. Fortunately, a large number of injured chivalrous knights gathered together waiting for the doctor to treat them. Yang Yiyi was really inconspicuous among them, so no one noticed her.

For Yang Yiyi, it was just panic, but for the Liu family members who came with Liu Tianquan, they were like bereaved parents, probably worrying about how to go back and explain to the head of the family.

They did not stay in the stronghold of the Sixteen Villages for long. The next day, they wrapped themselves in bandages and prepared to transport Liu Tianquan's body back to the Liu family.

There was no refrigeration technology these days. If the body was not transported back quickly, it would stink. They wanted to leave quickly while it was cold now.

Taoist Master Qingjingzi of Yunzhong Temple and Master Xuanci of Jingci Temple also specially performed a ritual, chanted the mantra of rebirth, etc. to express their feelings, and various Jianghu wanderers also sent eulogies to express their grief, which meant wishing you a good death.

The Liu family left with the body. Seeing that some of the slightly injured chivalrous knights chose to say goodbye, Yang Yiyi also planned to leave.

But Li Chengxi specifically told her not to rush, to stay here for two days, and to wait until the Liu family was completely gone before you choose to say goodbye, so as not to make any moves that are trying to cover up the truth.

After all, according to the doctor's diagnosis, Yang Yiyi suffered serious internal injuries. If she ran away before the internal injuries were healed, it would make people suspicious.

So this girl lived a life in the stronghold of the Sixteen Villages, and someone brought her meals, and she rarely left the room.

The main reason was that Yang Yiyi, who was in a panic, was afraid that she would be exposed when she came into contact with others. If that happened, she would be in trouble.

She was really a little cute in a cowardly way...
