Chapter 387: A single mistake

In order to avoid suspicion, Yang Yiyi stayed in the stronghold of the Sixteen Villages for almost five days. It was not until many martial arts heroes chose to leave that she drank the healing potion given by Li Chengxi early in the morning and found Zhou Yuxuan to say goodbye.

"Has Miss Yang's injury healed? It doesn't matter if you stay for a few more days."

"It's almost healed. Thank you for the care of the Sixteen Villages these days."

"Miss Yang was invited to join the battle. If we ignore your injuries, it would be too unkind."

Zhou Yuxuan was just being polite, but he was a little worried while speaking.

I first noticed Yang Yiyi at the Podao Temple. At that time, I just thought that this person was quite chivalrous and might be worth making friends with.

Besides that, there was nothing too much to care about.

It was not until the last raid on the Tianlang Sect stronghold where Jabbar was, seeing that Yang Yiyi's martial arts progress was incredibly fast, that Zhou Yuxuan really began to pay attention to Yang Yiyi.

According to the investigation of the Sixteen Villages, Yang Yiyi was born in an ordinary mountain village. She joined the Qingshan Sect, a small sect with almost no reputation, when she was young. Something big may have happened in the sect not long ago. The master and uncle died, and it seemed that they planned to let Yang Yiyi take over as the head of the sect. Yang Yiyi chose to leave the sect and leave the position of the head of the sect to the eldest sister He Ling.

The Sixteen Villages could not find out about the things in other people's sects, but the most suspicious thing was that Yang Yiyi actually traveled with the general of Liuzhou State and the daughter of Situ.

The two had been missing for a while, and there was a lot of noise, but in the end they went home with Yang Yiyi.

There must be some story hidden in this.

What Zhou Yuxuan cares about most is that not long after the two young ladies returned home, Liuzhou State issued a wanted order against the Liu family of Yuezhou.

Zhou Yuxuan couldn't guess what happened, but it was certain that Yang Yiyi had a role in this matter, and it was also her only contact with the Liu family.

Yes, Zhou Yuxuan suspected that Yang Yiyi killed Liu Tianquan in the cave.

This is mainly because during the autopsy, a thread-shaped indentation was found on Liu Tianquan's palm, and the double mace used by Yang Yiyi happened to be threaded steel.

However, Zhou Yuxuan also knew that Yang Yiyi's martial arts could not do anything to Liu Tianquan, not to mention that there was no reason for it.

He also sent people to ask the heroes of the rivers and lakes. Many people said that they had seen Yang Yiyi fighting beside them, and they also left together when they evacuated in the end. Zhou Yuxuan also dispelled his suspicion of Yang Yiyi.

In fact, this is the Mandela effect. Yang Yiyi only left a deep enough impression on the heroes of the rivers and lakes at the beginning. At that time, it was a mess, and the government troops also set a fire. Everyone was not particularly familiar with Yang Yiyi, and their memory would be greatly biased. They thought she was near them at the time. Some people even said that they remembered it very clearly, but in fact no one had seen Yang Yiyi's face. It is very likely that they mistook the backs of others for Yang Yiyi.

But no matter what, even without the testimony of others, it would be difficult for Zhou Yuxuan to suspect Yang Yiyi. With the testimony of others, it would be even more impossible to suspect.

So he was just a little confused in his heart.

"Did Miss Yang meet Elder Liu that day?"

"Elder Liu? Is it the elder of the Liu family? I have been with many martial arts friends and have not seen him since the mountain. Why did Mr. Zhou ask me about this?"

Zhou Yuxuan carefully glanced at Yang Yiyi's expression, and seeing that she was still frank, he clasped his fists and said:

"Nothing, Elder Liu died suddenly, I just asked casually."

Fortunately, he just asked casually, and the expression on Yang Yiyi's face was almost unbearable.

The corpse can provide a lot of information. When Li Chengxi saw that they brought Liu Tianquan's body back, he considered the possibility of asking Yang Yiyi questions.

So when Yang Yiyi and other knights were waiting for the doctor's diagnosis, he deliberately asked Yang Yiyi to chat with others and talk about the situation when she went up the mountain to fight with the people of the Tianlang Sect.

It was so chaotic at that time. As long as Yang Yiyi said something convincing, the audience would imagine that Yang Yiyi was also there. However, in fact, what Yang Yiyi said was what Li Chengxi taught her, and the description of the scene was very vague.

This trick successfully created the Mandela effect, making a large number of Jianghu knights think that Yang Yiyi was there at the time. Later, when he returned to his room to recuperate, Li Chengxi predicted what someone might ask Yang Yiyi, and specially wrote several answers for Yang Yiyi to practice in the room.

This girl is not good at lying. If she hadn't practiced in advance, she would definitely be exposed in front of Zhou Yuxuan.

"Where is Miss Yang going?"

"I plan to leave Liangcheng and go back to celebrate the New Year."

After all, it's close to the end of the year, and it's normal to want to go back to celebrate the New Year.

Zhou Yuxuan didn't doubt it much, and clasped his fists and said:

"Then I won't keep Miss Yang, have a good trip."

"Goodbye."

After that, Yang Yiyi left the stronghold of the Sixteen Villages, and when she came to the street, she realized that her legs were a little weak...

As I said, this girl is really not good at lying.

Yang Yiyi pretended to stroll along the street and took it easy. After almost an incense stick of time, the fear disappeared. Then she went straight to the dock to find a boat to return to Liuzhou.

Going home for the New Year was not realistic. Yang Yiyi didn't want to involve her family. The so-called going back for the New Year was actually to find Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping, and then write a letter to senior sister He Ling to tell her the news about Zhang Hongyu.

After doing all this, this unexpected trip was over.

But at the dock, I ran into an acquaintance again.

Tang Lianyu and her maid seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. When they met, she said:

"Miss Yang, I knew I would run into you again."

"Miss Tang, aren't you staying in Liangcheng for only one day?"

"I'm waiting for Miss Yang here."

Tang Lianyu pointed to the direction outside Liangcheng:

"There was a big fire in the barren mountain outside the city a few days ago. It must be related to Miss Yang, right? I'm very curious about the things in the martial arts world. Can you tell me in detail?"

This part has nothing to do with her, but important things can't be told, such as the Sky-lifting Stone and the killing of the elders of the Liu family.

Yang Yiyi was invited to enter the cabin of the big ship of Tangfeng Trading Company. Yang Yiyi told Tang Lianyu everything that happened.

After listening, the latter sighed:

"I didn't expect that such a big thing happened in the martial arts world while I was busy with business recently."

"I only found out after entering the stronghold of the Sixteen Villages. Since Mr. Zhou invited me, it was hard for me to refuse."

What was hard to refuse? Yang Yiyi agreed happily at that time.

"But speaking of the Heavenly Wolf Sect, I know a thing or two about it."

Tang Lianyu smiled and said:

"The Heavenly Wolf Sect has grown in the Western Regions, which has caused great displeasure to the local government. Some things may happen in the near future, and then the people of the Heavenly Wolf Sect will not move around in the Central Plains."

As the saying goes, knights violate the law with force, not to mention the Heavenly Wolf Sect, a violent group with religious nature, which would make the local government alert.

After all, it is different from Li Chengxi's Demon King God Sect. If it weren't for Li Chengxi's strong request, Viola might have almost implemented the integration of politics and religion.

"Although I don't know what they transported from the Central Plains, there is a way that Miss Yang may have overlooked."

"Which way?"

Tang Lianyu pointed at the ground, and Yang Yiyi said strangely:

"Boat? If you take the water route, you will definitely be discovered."

"Not a river boat, but a sea boat."

Zhou Yuxuan said that the people of the Heavenly Wolf Sect may have gone to the southern border and then turned back to the Western Regions, and he has sent people to chase them, but he didn't say that there is a possibility of taking the sea route.

"Wuzhou is close to the sea, and there is an important base of the Tianlang Cult near Liangcheng. They are likely to transport something by sea, all the way north, into the Northland, and then into the Western Regions from the Northland."

This is entirely possible, and even more likely than going through the South Xinjiang. After all, compared to the complex jungle environment of the South Xinjiang, it is safer and faster to go by water.

It's not that Zhou Yuxuan didn't think of this, but he thought of it, but couldn't chase it.

No matter how fast people run, they can't catch up with the ship. In this vast sea, there is no trace of the ship passing by, and there is no way to chase it.

And Zhou Yuxuan instinctively didn't want to believe this. If the Tianlang Cult really took the sea route, it might mean that the Northland also had a certain alliance with the Tianlang Cult.

"This is just my humble opinion. I believe the heroes must have thought of it long ago."

Tang Lianyu said, and then changed the subject:

"Where is Miss Yang going back to?"

"To Liuzhou for the New Year."

"Great, we are just on the way, and I also want to go back to Liuzhou."

What do you mean by just on the way? Tang Lianyu was clearly waiting for Yang Yiyi here on purpose.

This woman is too shrewd. Yang Yiyi, who is simple-minded, really didn't realize that Tang Lianyu was waiting for her on purpose.
