Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

The Ninth Princess looked at the glass bottle and wanted to reach out her hand immediately, but her good upbringing made her hold back and she said seriously: "If you can cure my illness, whether you need wealth and glory or something else, I can give it to you."

"Your Highness, it's too early to say this now. The Medical Saint has no intention of letting us go back." Bai Yu said.

"I believe you can find the real murderer."

"What if I can't find it?"

"Then let's join forces to kill this Hou Moliuming!" The Ninth Princess slammed the table and said, "I respect him for saving my life, but that doesn't give him a reason to kill me!"

"Your Highness is wise." Bai Yu said, and then stood up: "Then I won't disturb you, you can take your time to rest."

"Why don't you stay and spend more time with me... and chat with me?" The Ninth Princess tried to persuade him to stay.

"Sorry, I still have to find out the truth." Bai Yu turned and walked out of the house.

"Mr. Bai!" Princess Nine asked before he walked out the door, "Will you come and protect me tonight?"

"I dare not refuse you."

Leaving this sentence behind, Bai Yu left in style.

Yang Diao Si hurried into the room, looked at the Ninth Princess holding the glass bottle in her hand, and bowed and said, "Your Highness, this person's origin is mysterious and cannot be absolutely trusted."

"I know." The Ninth Princess whispered, "But I always feel that he is a trustworthy person."

……

That night.

All night tonight.

Everyone was still arranged to stay in their own rooms.

Yang Diaosi was guarding the Ninth Princess's door, Bai Yu was guarding on the roof, and the Gun Leader and Jin Fugui were sitting in the yard.

The four of them each stayed at their own positions. Since staying up late was bad for the body, they simply stayed up all night... to ensure the safety of the Ninth Princess, while also waiting for the murderer of the blood-stained clothes case to appear and fall into the trap.

Although Bai Yu did not have high expectations for this, he knew very well that the murderer of the blood-stained clothes case would not be so arrogant as to come and kill the Ninth Princess directly, but there would still be chaos tonight.

If there is no chaos, how can we fish in troubled waters?

No matter how good the security measures are, they are only temporary additions, which will disrupt previous deployments and cause confusion when there are too many people.

Bai Yu sat on the roof, looking at the bright moon, silently waiting for the chaos to occur.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The entire villa was very quiet, without any sign of abnormality.

Baicao Valley was also covered in thick fog, and even the sounds of insects and birds could not be heard.

The moonlight was covered by dark clouds and a cold wind blew past.

In the middle of the night.

Wu Susu and Jin Fugui's wife brought midnight snacks, and the three of them did not leave their seats, but it was boring to just sit there, and they needed something to perk up their spirits.

Halfway through, Jin Fugui asked, "Yang Diao Si, would you like to let my wife go in and see if the princess is okay?"

"No need." Yang Diao Si put his hands in his pockets: "The princess must be fine. I have a way to know."

Yang Diaosi must have a special item in his hand that can confirm the safety of the Ninth Princess, so he behaves so calmly.

"Thank you, Miss Wu." Bai Yu took the midnight snack handed to him, opened his lips and said thank you.

Wu Susu bowed deeply and disappeared into the night.

The cook ran after him with a lantern in her hand: "Hey, wait for me, I don't dare to sleep alone at night."

then……

The whole night passed like this.

Jin Fugui was kicked while he was dazed. He saw the gun master standing up and was startled: "Here he comes?"

"It's dawn."

Yang Diaosi took out a string of Buddhist beads from his pocket, took a look at the intact beads, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Fugui held his waist, and said with some fear and regret: "He didn't show up all night. It seems that he really didn't dare to come."

Bai Yu jumped down from the eaves and said calmly: "That may not be the case... Next, I need to confirm the princess's safety with my own eyes."

Yang Zheng nodded, walked to the door and knocked on it: "Your Highness, a night has passed."

There was no movement inside.

He continued knocking.

There was still no movement inside.

I knocked several times in a row, but there was no response.

Yang Zheng couldn't help it and pushed the door open. The next moment, the scene in the room made him stunned.

Empty house, empty bed.

Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess has disappeared!

"This, this..." Yang Zheng was speechless.

Jin Fugui, who was standing by, took a look and felt his scalp tingling: "What's going on? Where's His Highness?"

"We stood guard outside the door all night, and not even a fly could fly in!" The gun leader was also shocked.

Bai Yu had just walked in to take a look when Yang Zheng grabbed her sleeve and said, "Did you do something wrong? Or did you neglect your duty?"

"I didn't expect you to doubt me right away." Bai Yu raised his eyebrows: "Did I do anything suspicious?"

"His Highness looked disturbed after seeing you yesterday!" Yang Zheng raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "His Highness is missing. There must be something wrong with one of us three. You'd better tell the truth!"

Bai Yu laughed when he heard this: "Are you serious?"

Yang Zheng wanted to punch this lovely handsome face.

The spear leader hurriedly stopped him: "Now is the time to gather the ancestors and find Her Highness the Ninth Princess as soon as possible! Didn't you say that Her Highness is fine now? If what he said last night is true, and the deceased died from bleeding, then there should still be a chance to save him now!"

Jin Fugui echoed, "You're right, let's find someone first! His Highness might still be alive!"

Yang Zheng glanced at the Buddhist beads, loosened his grip, and said in a low voice, "If Your Highness is in trouble, I will make you pay the price!"

Bai Yu hugged his sleeves, expressionless.

Everyone started searching the courtyard and knocking on doors to wake people up.

But what happened next was even more of a change.

Except for Wu Susu and the cook who were woken up in their respective rooms, no one else responded.

The working twins were not in the room either, they simply disappeared.

Also missing was Huang Qiyun, who had not been seen the entire night.

When Bai Yu returned to the room and was about to open the door, the gun leader kicked the door open first.

Then a strong smell of blood wafted over.

Looking closely, there were actually two bodies lying on the floor of the guest room.

The two bodies had their heads chopped off, but judging by their clothes, they were probably the twins who were hired.

The spear master looked around and shouted, "Where is Huang Qiyun?"

The sound spread for miles around, causing dust on the eaves to fall, but no one responded.

Bai Yu walked silently to the body and began to examine it.

The person is dead.

However, there were no signs of bloodletting on his body, only his head was chopped off, so he must have died from a beheading weapon.

Both of them were covered in a lot of dust and dirt, much of which was mixed with blood and turned black.

When he checked, there was a long gun placed on Bai Yu's shoulder.

"Mr. Bai, I need an explanation."

"What explanation?" Bai Yu didn't even turn his head.

"Where is Huang Qiyun!"

"Maybe he went to the bathroom?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Where did she go? Why are there two headless corpses in the room!" Wu Family Spear Chief said coldly: "Could it be that you have kidnapped the Ninth Princess and killed her to silence her?"

Bai Yu was speechless, turned around and rolled his eyes: "Why would I do this? Even if I did this, why would I stay here?"

Jin Fugui also said: "Brother Bai may not know about this! He was with us last night!"

The Gun Master stared at the corpse in the room and said in a low voice, "I have been suspicious of Huang Qiyun from the beginning, but you have stopped me time and again. It is hard not to suspect that you two have been in the same group from the beginning!"

Bai Yu pushed away the spear pressing on his shoulder, and his tone was no longer as polite as before: "So what if it is, so what if it isn't?"

The majestic soul power gathered in his eyes and turned into a blazing supporting light. The violent pressure roared over and covered the top of his head, and even the space itself was shaking.

"Did I act too kind and make you misunderstand me?"

"Shouldn't you consider the tone you use when talking to me?"

"Bai, when did I become a prisoner that you can torture at will?"

The spear in Wu Qiang's hand was almost unsteady under Bai Yu's grip.

Jin Fugui didn't even dare to look directly at it. He stood leaning against the wall, almost unable to breathe under the pressure of the Holy Dao.

Bai Yu pushed the spear away, snorted coldly, and then continued to lower his head to examine the corpse.

The spear leader took a few steps back and stood aside... but his expression showed no resentment, instead, there was a hint of insincere eagerness.

Of course he knew how powerful Bai Yu was. If Bai Yu really wanted to kill him, everyone present would die!

He is not stupid, so he never suspected that Bai Yu was the murderer. There is no need for him to do so. With such strong hard power, he has the privilege to do whatever he wants in Baicao Villa.

Yang Zheng behaved like that because he didn't know Bai Yu's background. If he knew, how could he be so bold? After all, he was a martial arts champion, so he was naturally not such an impulsive and stupid person.

In the final analysis... the reason why he acted so impulsively was simply to test Bai Yu's confidence, and to use this to disturb Huang Qiyun's trust in him.

After all, Huang Qiyun was missing, and there were two more bodies in the room. This was extremely suspicious no matter how you looked at it!

If the Gun Leader doesn't force Bai Yu like this, how can he make the other party see clearly that Huang Qiyun is not trustworthy!

He was really worried that if Huang Qiyun was really the murderer behind the scenes... If that was true, Bai Yu had to be "awake" before that.

After examining the corpse, Bai Yu suddenly dragged it away and tapped the floor in the room with his fingers. A force spread out and tiny cracks spread to every bluestone floor in the room. Soon, a piece of the broken floor collapsed.

There was a gap in the corner.

Bai Yu said, "There really is a tunnel."

"It's actually a tunnel!" Jin Fugui took a few steps closer and said, "Brother Bai, where does this tunnel lead to?"

Bai Yu jumped down: "Just take a look and you'll know!"

After he entered the tunnel, the gun leader also jumped down. Jin Fugui stood at the door waiting eagerly.

Five minutes later.

Bai Yu pushed open the door and walked through the courtyard.

"This tunnel goes around almost the entire courtyard, and every room is connected!" Bai Yu patted the dirt and dust on his body and said, "Besides that, there is another road leading to the outside, but it has collapsed."

Jin Fugui looked at the villa and slapped his forehead: "So, the Ninth Princess was abducted from the tunnel?"

"Well, we were guarding the gate, but we overlooked the possibility that the other party would dig a hole." Bai Yu touched his chin: "The other party must have used drugs to knock out the Ninth Princess, and then quietly moved her away from the tunnel."

"This tunnel looks like it was newly built." said the Gun Leader.

"Even for a martial saint, digging a hole wouldn't be easy, right?" Jin Fugui scratched his head.

"A martial saint can split mountains and cut rivers, but I have never tried digging a hole, but it will definitely make a lot of noise. Besides, digging a hole requires moving soil, so a hole like this would require a lot of work."

"So this shouldn't be the work of the Martial Saint." Bai Yu took out an envelope: "I found this letter in the twins' luggage. Inside the letter is a message from their employer, which mentions some interesting news."

The other two took it and looked at it.

"They are actually treasure hunters." Jin Fugui took a look and said, "It is said that these people are a group of tomb robbers, good at digging holes and excavating... They originated from tomb robbers, and later gradually evolved into different categories. Treasure hunters are the type who specialize in finding treasures for their employers."

"These twins must be good at digging. Maybe they have some special exotic animals, such as treasure-hunting rats and pangolins."
