Sueños Florales en la Ciudad

Capítulo 71

"He didn't explain that."

Fang Jianwu nodded and added, "By the way, yesterday at noon, the heir of Prince Xin secretly entered the city and is currently staying at the villa of Prefect Liu of Yueyang."

Feng Xuese raised her eyebrows: "So Zhu Liuyue has also arrived in Yueyang."

Zhu Liuyue, son of the Prince of Xin, is a prodigy. From a young age, he received instruction from a mysterious master, acquiring unparalleled martial arts skills. Furthermore, he is proficient in poetry, calligraphy, painting, music, and chess. Although he is the heir apparent to the Prince of Xin, he is a refined and elegant man, indulging in the beauty of nature and rarely staying in the palace. He spends most of the year traveling the martial world. However, few in the martial world know of his princely identity.

Recalling the valley of Xifeng Mountain, where her eyes were injured and Zhu Liuyue chased after the enemy... these things seem like they happened yesterday. Now, Liuyue has arrived in Yueyang, but Zhu Huihui has run away!

Maple Snow Scent sighed softly.

Chen Muwan was very observant. After a moment's thought, she understood and said, "Young Master Feng, that Miss Zhu is clever and lovely. She should be fine."

Although he couldn't see, Feng Xuese still politely turned his face towards her and gave a wry smile: "I'm worried that she's too smart!"

Zhu Huihui, that girl, always thinks she's cunning and full of schemes, but she's actually incredibly stupid. All her mischievous ideas are written on her face! She hasn't suffered any major losses in all this time only because no one bothers with a child like her. Otherwise, aside from anything else, just for her petty theft, she'd have been spanked a hundred times over…

Nishino En advised, "Xue Se, Zhu Huihui has a limp and can't go far at all. I'll send someone to find her and bring her back right away!"

Feng Xuese laughed and said, "Jietianshui Island is heavily guarded. Even I might not be able to leave easily under the watchful eyes of the sentries, let alone this silly girl who brazenly ran away with the stuff! Brother Fang's men have been following her, haven't they?"

Fang Jianwu smiled and said, "Yes, Qin Er and Song San have been following her. Are they going to capture her for you?"

Feng Xuese was immediately relieved and smiled, "So Brother Qin and Brother Song are here. Thank you so much!"

Ghost Sword Qin Er and Spirit Sword Song San are two of the Four Great Swords of Jietianshui Island. The Four Great Swords were originally first-rate swordsmen in the martial arts world. Later, they were invited by the previous leader of Jietianshui Island and given important positions. Over the years, they have made many meritorious contributions and have a very high status. The fact that they personally took action this time shows that Jietianshui Island values Zhu Huihui, this little rascal, very much.

Hmm! In that case, even if Zhu Huihui wanders around alone, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

So Feng Xuese smiled again and continued, "That child is wild and unruly, and prefers activity to stillness. Once we arrive in Fengxue City, we won't be able to control her. Let her wander around for now, and when she's had enough, then..." Her voice suddenly stopped.

Just then, a figure streaked across the waterside pavilion like a shooting star, knelt on one knee, and shouted, "Reporting to the leader, the disciples of Xuan Yue Hall have discovered the bodies of Master Qin and Master Song at Jiaoya Isle, thirty miles away. Master Jiang and Master Ji have already rushed there!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the waterside pavilion paled in shock.

In the back hall of Xuan Yue Shui Yu, two stretchers were placed on the blue brick floor, with two people lying flat on them.

The one on the left was slightly overweight, with a sallow complexion, swollen and cracked lips, and bloodstains on his dark gray clothes. The one on the right was relatively thinner, his body hunched over as if his muscles and bones had contracted, and his skin was wrinkled all over.

Among the four great swords of Jietianshui Island, the divine sword Jiang Dahu had tears in his eyes and clenched fists; the demon sword Ji Si had a thin face full of murderous intent.

The two people on the stretcher are their good brothers.

More than 20 years ago, four passionate young men met by chance in the martial arts world and embarked on a journey of chivalry. From then on, the martial arts world gained the "Four Great Swordsmen of Gods, Ghosts, Spirits and Demons".

Fifteen years ago, the four swordsmen once again joined forces on Jietianshui Island, risking their lives and drinking blood, never abandoning each other.

Just a few hours ago, the four brothers were drinking together and discussing going fishing by the lake early the next morning.

Now, two of the four have become cold, stiff corpses.

For twenty years, the four brothers had never been apart. Who could have imagined that their only separation would be their eternal farewell!

Jiang Da, the Divine Swordsman, trembled slightly, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

A hand gently rested on his shoulder. Jiang Da turned around and met a pair of determined eyes.

Those eyes were like moonlit flames, burning with a cold, intense heat.

"Boss!"

Everyone in the hall suppressed their anger, bowed together, and raised their right hands.

The hall fell silent instantly.

"Brothers, Brother Qin and Brother Song will not have died in vain! No matter who committed this blood debt, I, Tianshui Island, will make them pay a hundredfold!"

"Revenge!" Jiang Da clenched his fist!

"Revenge!" Ji Si gritted his teeth!

"revenge!"

"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!"

The sound spread out in waves, and the crowd on Xuan Yue Water Island was filled with excitement. Everyone who heard the sound was thrilled.

Fang Jianwu raised his hand again, and after everyone quieted down, he issued a series of orders, which were immediately dispatched. Although Jietianshui Island appeared peaceful, everyone present felt an overwhelming fighting spirit, and those who were filled with grief and indignation rallied.

Led by Xiye Yan, Feng Xuese slowly entered the inner hall, with Chen Muwan and his group following behind him.

"Brother Fang!"

Fang Jianwu turned around, a bitter smile on his lips, "Xue Se, I didn't find Miss Zhu."

Feng Xuese nodded slightly, her expression unchanged, but her heart was filled with deep worry. Qin and Song had gone with Zhu Huihui, and now that they were murdered, she feared Huihui might also…

Supported by two maids, Chen Muwan moved gracefully to the two corpses. After examining them carefully for a while, she said softly, "Uncle Feng, please examine these two bodies. See if there are any abnormalities in the Juque, Yingchuang, and Zhangmen acupoints of this Second Master Qin, and as for that Third Master Song, his four meridians—Hand Shaoyin, Hand Shaoyang, Foot Shaoyin, and Foot Shaoyang—may all be broken."

At a glance, based on Qin Erqing's dark complexion, swollen and cracked lips, and the color of the blood around his lips, she judged that he had likely died from injuries to three vital acupoints: Juque, Yingchuang, and Zhangmen, resulting in ruptured internal organs such as the heart, liver, gallbladder, and spleen. As for Song San, whose body was curled up in a ball, it must have been due to severe injuries to the meridians of his hands and feet, causing tendon contracture and bone fractures.

However, although she was a doctor, she was still a young woman, and it was not very convenient for her to do things like disrobing and performing autopsies.

Feng Jueya, the Thousand-Mile Soul Chaser, agreed, bent down, and unbuttoned Qin Er and Song San's clothes to carefully examine their injuries. After a moment, he looked up and replied, "Miss's deduction is absolutely correct!"

Fang Jianwu, Xi Yeyan, Jiang Da, and Ji Si stared intently and saw that although Qin Er's skin at the Juque, Yingchuang, and Zhangmen acupoints was not broken, the skin color was different from the rest of the body, with a very faint red line, which was the blood from the injured acupoints. On Song San's four meridians, the tendons and bones bulged out, like earthworms crawling with green silk.

Chen Muwan said, "The fatal wounds of these two elder brothers are in their meridians and internal organs, with no external injuries. In my opinion, they were injured by a heavy blow. The murderer—" She paused for a moment, then continued, "possibly possesses unfathomable internal strength!"
