Chapter 505: Approaching Danger (Part )
"That's about it."

Yuan Ziping said in a deep voice: "They led Miss Tang Jiao outside the city and surrounded and killed her... If it weren't for Miss's amazing swordsmanship and me learning swordsmanship from you, we would have been killed there."

Fu Qingzhou nodded slightly: "I understand...just bear with it."

He held Yuan Ziping's dislocated and twisted leg and exerted force suddenly!

"Well!"

Yuan Ziping's face turned pale with pain and beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

After Fu Qingzhou broke and reset his leg joint, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll get you some medicine later, and you'll get better slowly."

"Thank you, thank you, sir." Yuan Ziping endured the pain and thanked him in a low voice.

Fu Qingzhou responded and patted his leg gently: "I should be thankful. If it weren't for you this time, Jiaojiao would be in danger."

"This is what I should do." Yuan Ziping forced a smile.

Fu Qingzhou stood up and turned to look towards Tang Jiao's room.

They had already buried Nan Muzhi and returned to the courtyard. Qiu Chan took the distraught Tang Jiao back to her room to wash and heal her wounds...

"okay."

Fu Qingzhou said to Yuan Ziping: "You are also very dirty, go and wash yourself."

"Sir." Yuan Ziping said hesitantly, "This group of people..."

Fu Qingzhou's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw his expression: "You know them?!"

"Have heard a little bit."

Yuan Ziping lowered his voice and said, "The few people we met should be the Six Gentlemen of Wuzhu who disappeared from the world many years ago. They were originally retainers of a wealthy family in the Northeast, but because they coveted the master's secret manuals and property, they conspired to massacre their master..."

"Stop, you don't need to continue." Fu Qingzhou interrupted him: "Another group of people who are not tolerated by the world and disappeared..."

"good."

Yuan Ziping said in a deep voice: "Sir, you mentioned the five Jibei ghosts you met. They were also such people. It reminded me of..."

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him seriously.

"...Wuli Village." After a moment's silence, Yuan Ziping said.

"Wuli Village?" Fu Qingzhou frowned.

"Yes."

Yuan Ziping said solemnly, "There was a rumor in the capital in the early years that there was a place called Wuli Village not far from Beijing. It housed countless villains and masters who had nowhere else to go. They spent a lot of money to support them, and only sent them to do dirty work such as killing and arson when necessary."

Fu Qingzhou frowned: "It's possible to accommodate these villains and it's so close to the capital. I'm afraid it's not done by some high-ranking official? Doesn't Mingjian Pavilion care about this?"

"I don't know."

Yuan Ziping smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid there is no real evidence? After all, these people don't show up most of the time. What's more, Wuli Village is just a legend. I haven't heard that they have really handled any major cases. How can Mingjian Pavilion investigate?"

Fu Qingzhou, however, fell into silence.

When Yuan Ziping mentioned Wuli Village, he suddenly remembered what happened when he brought Zhu Mei to Beijing.

The few masters who came to stop them at that time... also seemed to fit the characteristics of "disappeared from the world", "powerful", and "notorious".

Some fragmentary clues began to take shape and merge in his mind.

But just when he thought he was about to catch some inspiration, a familiar and cold breath broke into his perception and approached rapidly.

Fu Qingzhou came out of his thoughts and looked over with a frown.

The next moment, he saw a figure leap over the wall and land in the yard.

"Wu Yan?!"

Fu Qingzhou was surprised.

Yes, the person who came was Wu Yan.

There was an extremely horrific wound on his body, which looked like a scratch from some giant beast. Four extremely deep and wide wounds spread from his right shoulder to his left ribs, tearing open his chest and abdomen, and one could even see the white bones and wriggling internal organs.

After suffering such a serious injury, even Wu Yan, who was not afraid of injury or pain, looked frighteningly pale.

More importantly, he was carrying a man in black on his shoulders...

"Why are you here?" Fu Qingzhou asked in a deep voice. Wu Yan looked weak and didn't say anything. Instead, he threw the person on his shoulders to the ground, then he seemed to have lost his strength, took two steps back, leaned against the wall and slowly slid down until he collapsed on the ground.

Fu Qingzhou felt uneasy, so he strode forward and squatted down to check.

At this glance, he recognized the man in black: "This is Uncle Tang!"

"You... really... know him..."

Wu Yan only had time to say this one sentence before he immediately started coughing up blood. The wounds on his body began to vibrate and bleed continuously.

Fu Qingzhou's pupils shrank and he didn't have time to pay attention to Wu Yan for the time being - after all, this guy was probably not going to die.

He quickly lowered his head to check Tang Min's condition, fearing that he was dead.

I just saw Nan Muzhi die today... If Tang Min also died, how big a blow would Tang Jiao suffer?
Fortunately, after this examination, Fu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

In comparison, Tang Min's injuries were much lighter than Wu Yan's. He only had some fractures and some minor flesh wounds, but the back of his head seemed to have been hit hard, which led to him fainting.

But this is not a problem. You can recover after a little rest.

"Uncle?!"

At this time, Tang Jiao's exclamation came from not far away.

Fu Qingzhou turned his head and saw Tang Jiao and Qiu Chan walking out of the room together.

She immediately saw Tang Min lying unconscious on the ground. Her face was visibly pale and frightened. She even took a step back and did not dare to move forward.

"Jiaojiao, don't worry."

Fu Qingzhou said to her: "Uncle Tang is fine."

After hearing this, Tang Jiao quickly relaxed, her body went limp, and she almost fell down. It was Qiu Chan who supported her.

“What…is going on?”

Qiu Chan frowned, her eyes wandering between Tang Min and Wu Yan: "What on earth happened?"

"It's a bit chaotic." Fu Qingzhou glanced at Wu Yan: "Looking at their injuries... I'm afraid they are similar to what we experienced. Let's treat his injuries first. We can have a small meeting later."

Tang Jiao, who was leaning on Qiu Chan and breathing a little better, let out a light breath.

She looked at Wu Yan and whispered, "His wound is too big and needs to be sutured."

"Yes." Fu Qingzhou looked at her: "Jiaojiao, you can do it. Also, call Zhu Mei out as well, and let them both eat something... They haven't seen each other for a long time."

Hearing this, Wu Yan's eyes moved slightly.

But he was too weak to say anything.

It was already night in the capital, but this small courtyard suddenly became busy.

After washing up, Yuan Ziping put a splint bandage on his injured leg and applied bone medicine. He then helped Tang Jiao with the chores, cooking and treating the injuries of Tang Min and Wu Yan.

Fu Qingzhou looked at him with a look that had some other meaning.

"What are you looking at?"

Qiu Chan suddenly stopped beside him and asked softly.

Fu Qingzhou did not answer immediately, but took her to a more secluded place and asked, "Have you heard of Wuli Village?"

"Wuli Village?"

Qiu Chan showed a trace of confusion in her eyes and shook her head.

"Hmm..." Fu Qingzhou groaned for a moment: "I understand."

"what happened?"

Qiu Chan noticed something strange: "What's wrong?"

"No hurry, let's solve the current problem first." Fu Qingzhou smiled at her: "Now that all those who came to assassinate us are dead, I'm afraid they have follow-up plans... But tomorrow is the Cold Prayer Festival. If Huijue, Li Qing and others want to do something, we can't relax."

"but……"

He lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Tang and Wu Yan were also injured. This is interesting. Uncle Tang's hiding skills are so strong that he has almost no connection with us, and Wu Yan has almost nothing to do with us. They were both assassinated at the same time... I think we may be lucky."
