The First Marquis of Daxuan

boom!
Su Mu jumped off the roof and landed on the long street, blocking Shi Binbin behind him.

Almost at the same time, several figures in brocade and black shirts descended from the sky.

One of them even smashed a deep hole on the street.

"Get out of here!"

A grumpy white-haired commander roared, almost making waves of sound visible to the naked eye.

The white-haired commanders moved around, trying to find the assassin.

Su Mu did not move rashly. He stopped beside Shi Binbin and looked around vigilantly.

His gaze naturally fell on the headless corpse, and his expression turned somewhat ugly.

Judging from the clothes on the corpse, it's Liu Feibai!
The commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Army, a third-rank general of the imperial court, a powerful warrior in the Jindan realm, was lying dead on the street!
Right under their noses!

Su Mu's reaction speed was already very fast.

After hearing Shi Binbin's cry for help, he rushed over as quickly as possible.

But after he arrived here, there was no sign of any enemy at the scene except Shi Binbin.

Not only Su Mu, but even the Infant Transformation Commander of the Taiping Division rushed over as quickly as possible.

Even the old man who was half a step away from fusion came.

The speed at which they arrived at the scene was not much slower than Su Mu.

Even so, the assassin escaped.

Who would dare to believe such a thing?

Su Mu himself didn't believe it, let alone others.

The general of the Shenwu Army was on his way to cooperate with the Taiping Division's investigation. He was killed right under the Taiping Division's nose and his body was left on the street.

Su Mu could almost imagine how the Shenwu Army would react after receiving this news.

The death of someone in the Taiping Division would cause such a violent reaction, but the Shenwu Army has now lost a general!
The Commanding General is almost the second in command of the Shenwu Army, and his status is only second to the general!
How could the Shenwu Army let it go so easily when such a big figure died in unclear circumstances?

If Su Mu was the general of the Shenwu Army, the first suspect would also be the Taiping Division.

Your Taiping Division blocked the capital city, and Liu Feibai cooperated with your Taiping Division's investigation and died right under your Taiping Division's nose.

Who could kill someone right under the nose of the Taiping Division?
I’m afraid it wasn’t done by your Taiping Division.

Any normal person would think this as their first reaction.

Even Su Mu himself would think about this, let alone others.

"Shi Binbin, did you see what the assassin looked like?"

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

If this matter is not handled properly, the consequences will be disastrous.

Once a conflict really breaks out between the Shenwu Army and the Taiping Division, without the presence of the marquises, the Taiping Division may not be able to suppress the Daxuan Imperial Army.

The most important thing is that if these two forces really fight to the death, the entire Daxuan will be doomed.

"No, the other party is wearing a bronze mask."

Shi Binbin said, "He was very thin and tall, and he used a narrow long sword."

With a look of reminiscence on his face, he said, "By the way, his sword was triangular in shape.

This type of long sword is very rare, and there aren't many forgers who can forge this type of mysterious weapon. Maybe we can find each other from this!"

Shi Binbin comes from a family of weapon forgers and is very sensitive to weapons.

As soon as he came up, he noticed the opponent's weapon.

"A triangular long sword..."

Su Mu pondered.

This type of longsword is more difficult to cast than an ordinary longsword, and requires higher standards from the weaponsmith.

There are only a handful of weaponsmiths who can achieve this level.

"Also, the other party wanted to kill me at the beginning. Fortunately, I had the Buliuxing, otherwise I would be the one dead now."

Shi Binbin said with lingering fear.

Liu Feibai, who was in the Jindan stage, was killed by the opponent with one sword.

If the other party had not anticipated his speed, he would have been dead by then.

"So, the other party's goal is not just to kill people. No matter who dies between you and Liu Feibai, the Taiping Division and the Shenwu Army will be suspicious of each other."

Su Mu pondered.

Although this kind of provocation is superficial, it is very useful.

Because Shi Binbin had the Xuanbingbuliuxing skill, he avoided the opponent's attack, so the opponent changed his target and killed Liu Feibai.

"Go find your father right now and ask who are the weapon forgers who can forge a triangular longsword."

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "Check them one by one!
Liu Feibai died in front of the Taiping Division. We cannot shirk this responsibility. Only by finding the murderer can we give an explanation to the Shenwu Army!"

Shi Binbin also understood the seriousness of the matter. Without any hesitation, he ran towards the main government office like a flash.

His father is in the main office now.

Shortly after Shi Binbin left.

Those white-haired commanders have also returned.

They had searched the area thoroughly, but there was no trace of him at this moment.

One hit is sure to hit, and it will travel thousands of miles away.

Not even a trace of usefulness was left.

"This assassin's moves were very professional. Could he be a killer from the Golden Wind Tower?"

Su Mu told several white-haired commanders all the information that Shi Binbin had said, and said in a deep voice.

"Golden Wind Tower probably doesn't have the guts to do that."

The half-step fusion old man said with a serious expression, "But if you ask them, they may not have the courage, but the killers in the world are more or less closely related to them.

Maybe they know some clues.

Commander Su, you are responsible for this matter.

If Jinfenglou doesn't cooperate, then there is no need for them to exist."

The old man's voice was calm, and he didn't sound mean.

But the world-famous Jinfeng Tower was like an ant that could be easily crushed to death in his eyes.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

The Taiping Division allowed the Jinfeng Tower to exist not because the Taiping Division could not deal with them.

"I know what to do."

Su Mu nodded and said.

"You handled the Tan family's affairs very well this time. Once the matter is settled, the department will reward you according to your merits."

The old man looked at Su Mu and said with satisfaction.

…………

Shi Binbin rushed into the Taiping Division Yamen at lightning speed.

"A three-diamond-shaped long sword?"

After listening to the whole story, Father Shi pondered for a moment and slowly said, "This type of Xuanbing is indeed very rare, and most people don't use this type of Xuanbing.

Considering the power of Xuanbing, there is no need to use this form to increase its lethality.

Only those warriors with low strength would use the triangular sword to kill people, as the wounds caused would be difficult to stop bleeding and the lethality would be greater.

For ordinary weapons, it is necessary to make them into triangular shapes, but for mysterious weapons, who would go to such lengths to do so?"

“I definitely wasn’t mistaken, the assassin used the Xuanbing.

Both of my Xuan weapons were easily broken by him. If it weren't for the Buliuxing that Su Mu gave me, Dad, I would have been in real trouble this time.

Liu Feibai is much stronger than me, and in the end he couldn't even block a single move from the assassin."

Shi Binbin said with lingering fear.

“I know you’re not mistaken, so I’m even more surprised.

The one who could kill Liu Feibai with one move must be a Nascent Soul Realm expert at least. The reason you were lucky enough to escape was because you underestimated him. Of course, Buliuxing did play a significant role as well.

A strong man of this level doesn't need to stab a bloody hole in a person to kill him. Forging the Xuanbing into a triangular shape has no other purpose except showing off his skills. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, this person is a low-level killer and he is used to using this kind of weapon. "

Father Shi analyzed seriously.

"Dad, stop talking so much nonsense."

Shi Binbin said, "Just tell me who are the weapon forgers in the world who can forge this kind of mysterious weapon.

Now Liu Feibai died in front of your son. If the murderer is not caught, the Shenwu Army will probably fight with the Taiping Division."

"There are only a few weapon forgers who can forge this kind of mysterious weapon. I, your father, can do it too."

Father Shi said seriously, "But I can only think of one person who is willing to show off his skills in this way."

"Who?"

Shi Binbin said excitedly.

"Mrs. Yuan."

A name came out of Shifu's mouth.

"Mrs. Yuan?"

Shi Binbin was stunned. "A woman? Why haven't I heard of her?"

"Not a woman."

Father Shi shook his head and said, "His surname is Yuan, and his name is Madam. He used to be a handyman in the Imperial Court's Smelting Department. Later, he was expelled for secretly learning the art of casting weapons. He then sneaked into the Divine Weapon Pavilion and worked as a handyman for several years. After leaving the Divine Weapon Pavilion, he disappeared for ten years. When he reappeared, he was already a top-level weapon caster who could cast mysterious weapons.

This person has no character to speak of. As long as he is paid, he can help anyone forge a mysterious weapon.

As far as I know, the killers of Jinfeng Tower like to ask him to forge weapons the most.

Madam Yuan likes to show off her skills when casting Xuanbing. The more others can't do it, the more she likes it. She especially likes to do some useless work on the weapon, which only highlights that she can do what others can't. "

"Where is he? I'll go get him!"

Shi Binbin said excitedly, it sounded like the triangular long sword was most likely forged by him.

"you?"

Father Shi glanced at his son with disdain, "Mrs. Yuan was already at the Jindan stage thirty years ago, and he is a weapon forger, with more Xuan weapons than you, so why do you think you can catch him?

If someone like you can last three breaths against Madam Yuan, it's because Madam Yuan is letting you go."

"Dad, I am your son after all, you don't have to belittle me like this, right?"

Shi Binbin said, rolling his eyes.

"I'm just stating the facts."

Father Shi said calmly, “It’s not that easy to catch Madam Yuan.

I just heard that Madam Yuan devoted all her life to building a city of magical weapons. The whole city is made up of countless mysterious weapons. When combined, it can have the power of magical weapons.

He is hiding in that city, and no one knows where that city is.”

"Is there really a city of divine weapons?"

Shi Binbin's eyes widened.

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Father Shi said unhappily, "Madam Yuan is a delusional person. No one has ever seen this City of Divine Weapons. Those who have seen it are probably dead."

"Then what should we do? If we can't find Madam Yuan, we won't know who the assassin who used the triangular long sword is. If we can't find the assassin, our Taiping Division will be embarrassed."

Shi Binbin said dejectedly.

It would be fine if it was just embarrassing.

The problem is that the Shenwu Army will not give up.

They will definitely use Liu Feibai's death to demand an explanation from the Taiping Division.

Moreover, the Taiping Division could not shirk its responsibility in this matter.

They were the ones who captured the person and he died right under their noses. From any angle, the Taiping Division cannot shirk its responsibility.

"I'm just a weaponsmith. I can't help with the investigation."

Father Shi said calmly, "Just report Madam Yuan's matter to the higher-ups, they will find a way."

"It can only be the."

Shi Binbin sighed, "If it doesn't work, tell the Shenwu Army about Madam Yuan and ask them to find someone."

Having said that, Shi Binbin turned around and walked out.

"and many more."

Father Shi suddenly called him and spoke.

"What else?"

Shi Binbin stopped and turned around.

"If Commander Su hadn't sent you the Xuanbing Buliuxing this time, you would have lost your life. How do you plan to repay Commander Su?"

Father Shi asked.

"Repay Su Mu?"

Shi Binbin was stunned for a moment, "Do you want to repay me?"

"Nonsense! What did I teach you? If you don't repay my kindness, don't call me dad anymore!"

Father Shi said angrily.

"If not dad, what should I call you? Brother?"

Shi Binbin curled his lips and said, "Su Mu has everything. He is higher than me in terms of cultivation and official position. He also has a beautiful wife and relatives, but I am still a single dog.

How can I repay him?"

"What others have belongs to them. It's not an excuse for you to be ungrateful!"

Father Shi pointed his finger at Shi Binbin's forehead and said angrily, "Go tell Commander Su that I gained some insights when I watched him forge the Mysterious Weapon, and I will forge a weapon for him myself to repay him for saving your life.

It will take at most three to five years, or at least a year and a half, for me to forge this weapon.

It may be able to touch the edge of divine weapons."

Father Shi looked proud.

Shi Binbin was overjoyed, "Dad, can you forge a magic weapon?"

"No."

Father Shi said, "But I have already touched the threshold of the divine weapon. Maybe one day I will be able to cross the threshold in my lifetime."

…………

"Pure Land Buddhism..."

Su Mu had a thoughtful look on his face.

Shi Binbin's description of the assassin, especially the move that broke Liu Fei's Baigen Mountain vision, was analyzed by the old man who was half a step away from fusion in the company. It should be the White Lotus Pure Land Sutra of the Pure Land Sect.

The former leader of the Pure Land Sect, Sha Lianting, was only at the Jindan stage.

According to previous information, there is no Infant Transformation Stage in the Pure Land Sect.

Could this assassin be the mysterious man behind the Pure Land Sect that Hou Wuque mentioned?

The problem is, there are only so many powerful Nascent Soul masters in the world, and each of them is not an unknown person.

Who is this assassin?

He rubbed his brows. He couldn't figure out anything about the person who couldn't be found even with the intelligence from the Taiping Division.

He should just do his own task well and start from investigating Jinfeng Tower.

"Have you contacted Xue Shan?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Su Mu saw Dongfang Liuyun walking in from outside, so he asked.

Xue Shan, the young master of Jinfeng Tower, went to Songjiang Prefecture to open a restaurant and had some friendship with Su Mu.

This time, Su Mu directly asked Dongfang Liuyun to contact Jinfeng Tower, and the person he was looking for was naturally Xue Shan.

Although the Taiping Division could use its overwhelming power to force the Jinfeng Tower to surrender, they might not tell it everything they know.

Sometimes, playing the emotional card may be more effective than using brute force.

"Golden Wind Tower has already contacted Xue Shan. He is not far from the capital and will be here in three days at most."

Dongfang Liuyun said, "Golden Wind Tower has made its position clear. The assassination of Liu Feibai has nothing to do with them. They will fully cooperate with our investigation." (End of this chapter)
