Bloodkiller - Chapter 13
Chapter 13: Destruction Of The Family
An imperceptible smell of bl00d poured into his nose, and Yao Chuan suddenly opened his eyes.
Before dawn, the house was still dark, with only a few rays of clear light sprinkled through the window paper.
In the darkness, it becomes even more quiet.
Yao Chuan first turned his head to confirm Lin Yi’s movements and found that the man was breathing smoothly, as if he had not woken up. He continued to hold his breath calmly. In silence, his ears listened to the faint sound of unsheathe outside the house. Yao Chuan immediately determined that —— was a sword, a sword stained with bl00d.
The people outside the house moved very quickly and made almost no sound when they turned through the window and entered the house.
Yao Chuan pretended not to realize it and opened the slit in his eyelids to observe the surroundings. The smell of bl00d gradually became stronger, and what followed was a black figure. Yao Chuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he always felt that his appearance was familiar. However, before he thought about it carefully, he felt a cold light in front of his eyes. —— The man had already stabbed him on the bed with his sword!
Yao Chuan’s palms gathered their strength and did not dodge. He raised his palms and slapped the sword on his body. He saw that the white blade had been hit in half before it fell, and he fell to the ground with a clang. Seeing this, the man knew something was wrong. He took a step forward and raised his left palm to attack Yao Chuan’s face. Yao Chuan ducked sideways, jumped forward again, and kicked his legs towards the black shadow’s chest.
This kick was really not light. The black shadow snorted and spit out a mouthful of bl00d. The man moved quickly. Seeing that the killing move was not successful, he ran to the window. Who expected Yao Chuan to take out the bl00d-drinking knife faster? Then he slashed it straight behind his back. Between the lightning flint, Yao Chuan suddenly heard the voice behind him: “ left a living mouth! ”
Hearing Lin Yi’s voice, he almost subconsciously stopped his force, turned the blade, and scratched the man’s back with a sneer.
The black figure was seriously injured. At this time, he was at the end of his strong crossbow and was lying prone on the ground unable to move.
Lin Yi had also put on his clothes and walked to Yao Chuan. The two looked at each other and then at the man on the ground. Yao Chuan squatted down, turned the man on his back, and ordered several large xue spots on him, then pulled off the black scarf covering his face.
After seeing the appearance of the man in black clearly, Yao and Lin both had a stagnant breath, just because the man in black was none other than Chef Xu in the backyard of the Qian Mansion!
Yao Chuan immediately reacted, examined the man’s facial skin carefully, and turned back to Lin Yi and said: “ is not a disguise. ”
Lin Yi shouted: “ Who are you? Who sent you? ”
The man chuckled twice, and bl00d gushed out of her mouth, making her face red, but the man didn’t care and just laughed and said: “ Just because you also want to know the name of my master? Bah —— you lowly dog stuff! ”
Lin Yi was not annoyed either, and replied: “ you are gentle and steady, and Qinggong must be a good player. Unfortunately, you have mediocre internal strength and ordinary swordsmanship. I am curious. Who would send a person like you to assassinate Yao Chuan and Yao Daxia? ”
After hearing what he said, Yao Chuan suddenly thought of something and said to Chef Xu: “ The man in black who plotted against me in the inn that day was you too? ”
“ha, ha, haha. . . . . ”
She laughed loudly, her throat was choked by the bl00d foam, and she replied: “ is good, it is me! What kind of hero are you two pickled tortoise slaves worthy of! I can’t kill you today, but my master won’t let you go, hahahaha——”
Lin Yi sneered, refused to touch her as if she was dirty, and only groped her waist with his sword. Sure enough, he found a jade plaque on his waist. He picked it with his sword, and the sign fell to the ground with a pang.
When Yao Chuan saw this, he picked up the jade plaque and looked through it for a few times. He saw that the workmanship of the plaque was extremely exquisite, and there were many patterns engraved on the back. Unfortunately, the room was dark and it was not clear for a while, but the front was not so complicated. Only a large one was engraved. The word “ order” is engraved on the right, and there is a line of small characters engraved on the right.
Through the faint moonlight, he saw that it was engraved with: Huai Zi No. 7.
Huai Wang’s Huai.
He frowned slightly, stood up again, and handed the sign to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi only glanced at it hastily, then bent down, patted the man’s face with the hilt of his sword, then shook the sign in front of her eyes, and asked: “ Now the evidence is conclusive. If you don’t tell me, I will know. Your master is King Huai? ”
He raised his tone and deliberately lengthened the last two words. However, he stared carefully at Chef Xu’s expression. He saw that the man’s eyes were slightly open, the corners of his mouth were pursed tightly, and he looked unyielding.
He hummed and said: “ you really want me to ask this question, but it’s a pity that I am not a stupid person. If I guessed correctly ——”
He opened his lips gently and said a few words silently.
From Yao Chuan’s perspective, he couldn’t see what Lin Yi said, but he could clearly see the change in Chef Xu’s expression. Her face was twisted, her eyes were torn, and the sound of “hayah” in her mouth was obviously unbelievable.
Unfortunately, before she could speak, Lin Yi reached out and broke her neck: “ already knew the answer, thank you. ”
After Lin Yi finished doing these things, he stood up contentedly. He looked up and found Yao Chuan staring at him expressionlessly. The man took a step forward, hugged Lin Yi’s wrist with his right hand, and said: “ The owner of Shaozhai knows something, isn’t he ready to tell me? ”
Lin Yi didn’t answer, so he only raised his chin and said to the broken sword not far away: “ I don’t know whose bl00d is on the sword. According to what I saw below, I’d better go to the front yard first now to avoid it. . . . ”
Yao Chuan glanced at him deeply, snorted coldly, shook off his hand and walked to the front hall.
As soon as he left the west courtyard, he smelled a strong smell of bl00d. Yao Chuan secretly said something bad and couldn’t help but speed up his pace. Sure enough, as soon as he left the corridor, he saw the bodies of several servants. On the way to the front yard, Yao Chuan had already seen seven or eight corpses one after another. He didn’t dare to wait any longer and rushed straight to the bedroom of Qian Bai and his wife.
The door was wide open, and as soon as I entered the door, a familiar smell of bl00d hit me. The couch was covered with bl00d stains, and the furnishings in the house fell to the ground. There were obviously signs of fighting, and the whole room was messy.
Fortunately, there were no bodies in the house.
Yao Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and went to the study and the front hall to check again, only finding a few corpses of his servants, but no trace of Qian or Bai.
Except for himself and Lin Yi, there were no other living people in the entire Qian Mansion.
Yao Chuan stood in the courtyard stunned for a moment, feeling only the cold wind gusting at night and the fishy smell all around him. He remembered that the living people he had seen yesterday had turned into cold corpses overnight, and he couldn’t help but feel sad in his heart. Sour eyes.
But without waiting for him to be sad, he heard another voice from Lin Yi in the distance: “ Brother Yao, come quickly! ”
The voice was very urgent, coming from Qian Bai’s bedroom, and he rushed over quickly.
Yao Chuan walked in and saw that Lin Yi was holding a child in his arms. When Lin Yi saw Yao Chuan entering the door, he pointed to the hidden frame under the bed and said: “ Only then did I see that the house was very messy. There was only no debris in front of the bed, so I checked carefully. Sure enough, I found a hidden frame here. There is a child lying inside! ”
The child looked at him, who was only seven or eight months old, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and was sleeping quietly, unaware of what happened at home.
Yao Chuan hugged the child and checked him carefully to make sure he was fine before saying to Lin Yi: “ This is the son of Qian Ling and Bai Yulian. His name is Qian Qiongli, but he is only seven months old. The couple originally had an eldest son, but unfortunately he died before he was old enough. It took many years for this child to be born. ”
Lin Yi heard the cry of a baby in the house yesterday, and when he saw the baby, he guessed a general idea. After listening to Yao Chuan’s words, he showed a hint of unbearability on his face. He frowned, obviously confused about the tragic situation of being destroyed today, and said: “ Brother Yao, you and I will act separately and search the money house carefully. I always feel that this matter tonight is a bit strange. ”
Yao Chuan nodded in agreement, and the two agreed to meet here in half an hour.
At this time, the sky was already showing some white fish belly. When Yao Chuan saw Lin Yi walking towards the West Courtyard, he did not dare to delay, so he hugged the child and went to look through the body of his servant first.
There were not many servants in Qian’s house, a total of seventeen or eighteen. The corpses of these people were found everywhere in Qian’s house, all of them showing fear and dying with their eyes closed. One by one, Yao Chuan examined the past and found that they had all been hit by a sword at the mouth of their throats, killing them with one sword.
He secretly said in his heart: This sword technique is very sharp. These wounds look ordinary and different in length, but they are more than an inch deep. With such strength, the murderer must have deep internal strength, which is not like Xu Chengniang’s technique.
At this time Lin Yi also came over and said: “ I found an invitation on the table in your room. ”
The two looked intently and saw that the Cambodian book read:
On the full night of August and May, we are willing to invite heroes to meet in Qingzhou.
Qingzhou, Qingzhou again, what Bai Yulian said yesterday also alluded to Qingzhou.
Lin Yi asked doubtfully: “ strangely, there is no specific address on this invitation. Why is he so sure that we will go to Qingzhou? So what if you don’t go ——”
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes widened. Apparently he had thought of something. He looked at Yao Chuan and said anxiously: “ Brother Yao, what about the second bl00d-drinking knife!? ”
Yao Chuan immediately reacted, and the two looked at each other. He replied: “ is in my room. ”
Everything in Yaochuan’s room was as before, and all the luggage was neatly placed without any trace of turning. The box where the knife was placed was no different. After it could be opened, the inside was empty.
Lin Yi smiled bitterly: “ has been done so cleverly. No wonder I didn’t find it during my search just now. The thief threatened with a sword. It seems that we have to go. ”
He added: “ There is exactly one month left until August 15th. From Hangzhou to Qingzhou, even if you and I use Qinggong, it will take more than ten days, and there is also a child. What are you going to do with this kid? In my opinion, it is better to find a household first. . . . . ”
“no! The whereabouts of his parents are still unknown, both caused by my double dragon gate. If this child makes any mistakes again, how will I face Brother Qian? Yao Chuan is to blame even if he dies! ”
Seeing that he could not dissuade him, Lin Yi understood his temper and paused for a while, then replied: “ Going north to Qingzhou must pass through Yaocheng. When the time comes, he will be handed over to Uncle Yun first. Is there any safer place in the world than Shuanglongmen? This way you should always feel at ease. ”
Yao Chuan heard that what he said was reasonable, so he nodded and agreed. He hesitated for a moment, and finally told Lin Yi what he found on the body. He also said: “ If we really want to take the names of you and me, we will never send such a small soldier. Come, presumably they will still be transferred away from the mountain in order to steal the second bl00d-drinking knife. The person who killed everyone in the Qian Mansion should be another killer. However, although this person has excellent swordsmanship, he only used one move. There were too few moves. I couldn’t tell which school of skill it was. In addition. . . . . There is another thing I can’t figure out. With Qianling’s martial arts, there are few opponents in the world, and who can hurt him? Can he and his wife still be taken away from Qianfu silently? ”
“Not only that, they didn’t make any noise when they killed Qian’s servants. According to common sense, it was impossible unless they were drugged in advance. . . . . This is easy to explain, it was the cook who did it. ” Lin Yi answered the question, “ but there is still something that doesn’t make sense ——. The purpose of stealing knives is to force you and me to go to Qingzhou, but what is the purpose of killing people? There are so many lives, just kill them, either to silence them or to blame them. ”
After he finished speaking, he shook his head: “ is wrong. This matter involves the Qian family and Shuanglongmen. The government will not come forward easily, even if it wants to rely on the two of me. ”
So far, the two of them are still confused. Yao Chuan couldn’t help but feel a little irritated. He sighed and said: “ Linyi, I know you are hiding something from me, and I don’t care about anything else, but if it is related to the safety of Brother Qian and his wife, I hope you can tell me. ”
Lin Yigang closed his eyes and meditated. After hearing this, he opened his eyes again and stared at Yao Chuan for a long time without speaking. After a while, he suddenly delivered the flowing water sword to Yao Chuan’s eyes.
Yao Chuan was moved in his heart: “ what are you doing? ”
Lin Yi Zhengse said: “ This sword is passed down from my father and is the most important thing in Lin Yi. Now I swear by it. If I make half a lie next, I will let my sword destroy people. ”
When Yao Chuan saw him like this, he felt inexplicably calm in his heart. He only heard Lin Yi say: “ I do have a guess in my heart, but I can’t tell you right now. First, I’m not sure if the evidence is insufficient. Second, . . . . . I have an appointment with Uncle Fang, so it is better for him to tell you some things personally. All I can say at this moment is that I will not harm you, let alone Shuanglongmen. ”
At this point, he chuckled, stretched out his hand and patted Yao Chuan’s side, and then said: “ Even if it depends on the relationship between you and me as a couple for a few days, you can still believe me! ”
Yao Chuan stared into Lin Yi’s eyes for a long time, then finally nodded and responded: “ you are used to lying, I only believe you this time. When I said I believed you, I believed you without leaving any room and wholeheartedly. Lin Yi, don’t lie to me. ”
He covered Lin Yi’s hand, and the back of the man’s hand felt a little cold, so he took it hand in hand and held it tightly.
At this time, it was already dawn, and the two stood in the courtyard without saying a word. They only held hands quietly for a while, finally adding a little warmth to the night of this light and sword shadow.
Yao Chuan then wrote a letter to Old Master Qian to explain the whole story, and in the letter he vowed to avenge the bl00d of everyone in the Qian Mansion. Then he hired a beggar in the city and asked him to deliver the letter at three o’clock.
Time was running out, so the two packed their bags before they could wait for the c0ck to crow and set off on the road.
