Chapter 50 Hero saves beauty

"Ninth Young Master, this person is highly suspicious."

After Zhang Liang left the Xiao residence with Han Fei, he analyzed with a serious expression: "Putting aside the matter of Madam Xiao giving false testimony, when he heard the news of Liu Yi's death, he seemed very surprised on the surface, but his eyes did not show any fluctuation. It is obvious that he already knew about this."

"To catch a thief, you must catch him red-handed; to catch an adulterer, you must catch them in the

Han Fei shook his head and said, "Zifang, based on our current speculations alone, we cannot convict this person."

"Then what should we do next?"

"Wait! I have a feeling this case isn't as simple as it seems. Liu Yi's death is probably just the beginning."

Han Fei's eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "If I'm not mistaken, the murderer will definitely commit another crime. From now on, we just need to keep a close eye on the Xiao residence, Zilan Pavilion, and the Zuo Sima residence."

"The Ninth Prince is wise."

……

The moon is dark and the wind is high, the sky is full of murders and arson.

Under the cover of night, Xiao Feng, dressed in a black outfit, quietly left the Xiao residence.

Seeing this, Wei Zhuang, who was secretly monitoring from the shadows, flashed a cold glint in his sword-like eyes and followed without expression.

"It sure is him!"

When Wei Zhuang followed Xiao Feng at breakneck speed and witnessed him scaling the wall to enter the Left Sima's residence, he was already convinced that Xiao Feng was the murderer.

In fact, Wei Zhuang didn't care at all who killed Liu Yi; what he really cared about was Hong Yu, who was killed by the murderer.

You must know that Zilan Pavilion is under Wei Zhuang's protection. Anyone who dares to kill someone from Zilan Pavilion is tantamount to slapping him in the face.

Although Hongyu's death cannot be blamed on Wei Zhuang, since he had just left Zilan Pavilion to secretly escort Han Fei back to the mansion, he still felt somewhat guilty.

Therefore, when Wei Zhuang discovered that Xiao Feng was the murderer, he only had one thought in his mind: to pay for a life!

Xiao Feng was unaware that Wei Zhuang was following him. After sneaking into the Zuo Sima Mansion, he quickly found the villa where Madam Hu lived.

Madam Hu was Liu Yi's wife and also Nongyu's biological mother.

Since Nongyu was able to trigger the "beautiful woman with a tragic fate" projection mission, there is a high probability that Madam Hu could also trigger the projection mission.

Moreover, according to the original plot, the real murderer who killed Liu Yi should come to kill Madam Hu again tonight, which is why Xiao Feng sneaked into the Zuo Sima Mansion overnight.

???

Hidden in the shadows, Wei Zhuang couldn't help but show a puzzled expression when he saw that Xiao Feng hadn't entered the villa where Madam Hu lived, but instead found a secluded corner outside to hide.

This scene looks somewhat familiar.

Wei Zhuang's expression changed several times, but he ultimately gave up the idea of ​​avenging Hong Yu right now. He wanted to see what Xiao Feng was up to.

After all, Wei Zhuang is a disciple of Guiguzi, so he's quite intelligent.

Xiao Feng's strange behavior doesn't make him seem like a murderer, but rather similar to Wei Zhuang's actions, as if he's deliberately lying in wait for a murderer.

As time slowly passed, just as Wei Zhuang was getting a little impatient, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and a vulture mask suddenly appeared in their line of sight.

"Puff puff……"

After the vulture broke into the villa where Madam Hu lived, it immediately began a killing spree without saying a word, slitting the throats of all the maids and guards outside the door.

"It's him!"

Upon seeing this, Wei Zhuang's pupils suddenly contracted.

The maids and guards killed by the vultures had neck wounds exactly like Hongyu's, clearly indicating that this person was the real culprit who killed Hongyu.

"boom!!!"

After killing all the guards and maids outside the door, Wujiu kicked open the bedroom door and interrogated Madam Hu about the Huoyu Gong treasure.

Huo Yu Gong was Lady Hu's father and was once a well-known wealthy merchant in the Baiyue region.

Back then, Right Sima Li Kai and Left Sima Liu Yi, along with other generals, were ordered to go to the Baiyue region to quell the rebellion.

During his campaign against the Baiyue people, Li Kai fell in love with the young lady of Huoyu Manor and they secretly pledged their lives to each other, even having a child (Nongyu).

Liu Yi, who also admired Madam Hu, became jealous after learning about her love affair with Li Kai, and plotted to kill Li Kai.

Later, Liu Yi colluded with the "Three Wolves with Broken Hair" to plunder Fire Rain Manor and steal all of its treasures.

In order to monopolize Huo Yugong's treasure, Liu Yi set up an ambush and killed the "Three Wolves with Broken Hair" to silence them.

However, what Liu Yi did not expect was that one of the "Three Wolves Who Cut Their Hair" survived by chance and joined Ji Wuye's Hundred Birds organization, becoming known as "Vulture".

The reason why the vulture killed Liu Yi was because he wanted to reclaim the treasure of the Fire Rain Duke.

"You...you are the Three Wolves with Broken Hair..."

Faced with the vulture's threats and interrogations, Madam Hu quickly recognized his true identity. Besides anger, she felt even more fear.

Back then, Madam Hu witnessed firsthand the brutal murder of her family and servants by the Three Wolves with Broken Hair, an event that has become a haunting nightmare for her.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have come into contact with the story character 'Madam Hu' and triggered a random projection mission—'Hero Saves the Beauty'!"

Looking through the open bedroom door, Xiao Feng saw Madam Hu trembling, and a system notification sounded in his ear.

"Ding! Mission objective: Rescue Madam Hu from being killed by vultures. Mission reward: One extra chance to draw a prize."

"Looks like you won't tell the truth unless I teach you a lesson. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The Fire Rain Lord's treasure had become an obsession for Wujiu, and he was naturally unwilling to believe that Madam Hu did not know the whereabouts of the Fire Rain Lord's treasure.

The vulture felt that Madam Hu was deceiving him, so he immediately raised his long sword and slashed at her slender fingers.

"call out--"

Just as Madam Hu was about to suffer torture, a blurry figure suddenly flew in from outside the door, carrying Madam Hu away and disappearing from the spot.

"who?"

The vulture's expression changed drastically upon missing its target, and it abruptly turned to look outside the door.

Xiao Feng, dressed in black, was seen holding a still-shaken Madam Hu in his arms, standing stiffly in the courtyard outside.

Looking at Madam Hu's pale face and pitiful appearance, Xiao Feng gently comforted her, "Madam, don't be afraid. With me here, no one can hurt you."

Although Madam Hu's appearance is not as striking as Jing Ni's, she exudes a very elegant and serene aura, possessing a restrained beauty that requires careful appreciation.

Hearing Xiao Feng's magnetic voice, Madam Hu's fear dissipated considerably, and she immediately showed a somewhat shy expression.

Apart from the deceased Li Kai and Liu Yi, Madam Hu had never had such intimate contact with any other man.

Chapter 51 I Like Passive

At this moment, Madam Hu was like a frightened little rabbit. Although she knew it was wrong to cling to Xiao Feng's arms, she still wanted to snuggle into his embrace.

Ever since Xiao Feng had a heated discussion with Jing Ni about the knowledge of depth and length, he found that he seemed to have awakened some kind of extraordinary attribute, and was becoming more and more like the legendary hero!

Seeing Madam Hu's shy and adorable appearance, Xiao Feng could only raise his leg to show his respect to her.

(ω)

Feeling Xiao Feng's respect for her, Madam Hu's pretty face flushed red, and she wished she could bury her head in her arms.

If it weren't for the vultures watching from the sidelines, Madam Hu would have jumped out of Xiao Feng's arms like a cat startled by a cucumber.

"court death!"

The vulture was only interested in finding the Fire Rain Lord's treasure and had no time to watch the two lovers flirting. Without any mercy, it swung its sword and stabbed Xiao Feng.

"boom!"

Just as the vulture pierced Xiao Feng's throat, Xiao Feng's figure suddenly transformed into countless wind blades and exploded.

"Dangdangdang..."

Faced with those tiny wind blades shooting towards them, the vulture had no time to dodge and could only hurriedly defend itself with the longsword in its hand.

"hold head high--"

Taking advantage of the vulture's confusion, Xiao Feng suddenly unleashed a move called "Regretful Dragon Soaring," striking it in the back of the vulture's heart.

The vulture felt a tremendous force strike from behind, and its body flew out uncontrollably, crashing heavily onto the courtyard wall several meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

!!!∑(Дノ)ノ

To Xiao Feng's disbelief, Wujiu, who should have had his heart meridian shattered by a single palm strike, only spat out a mouthful of blood before fleeing in a disheveled state by scaling the wall.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng said speechlessly, "Damn it! Are you using an invincible cheat?"

The reason why the vulture wasn't killed by Xiao Feng's slap wasn't because he had an invincibility cheat, but because his heart was different from ordinary people's, naturally growing on the right side.

It was precisely because of this that the vulture escaped from Liu Yi's ambush by feigning death.

Liu Yi never imagined that Wujiu, whose heart had been pierced by an arrow, would still survive.

"Young master, please don't..."

Just as Xiao Feng was about to put Madam Hu down and chase after her to eliminate any future threats, Madam Hu grabbed his arm tightly and shook her head in fear.

The psychological trauma left on Madam Hu by the three wolves with severed hair was too great; she now dares not be alone at all.

Seeing Madam Hu's tearful appearance, Xiao Feng had no choice but to give up his idea of ​​chasing Wujiu for the time being. He carried her back to the bedroom and tried his best to comfort her.

Meanwhile, Wujiu, who had finally escaped from the Left Sima's residence, had no time to breathe a sigh of relief before Wei Zhuang blocked his way again.

Upon learning that Wujiu was the real culprit in Hongyu's murder, Wei Zhuang naturally couldn't just let him go.

The vulture was no match for Wei Zhuang to begin with, let alone being severely injured by Xiao Feng.

"bass!!!"

With a flash of cold sword light, the vulture felt a chill on its neck, and then its head flew off.

"What a fast sword..."

Gazing at that familiar headless figure, the vulture had one last thought before plunging into complete darkness.
