Chapter 386 Almost exposed

Chapter 386 Almost exposed
Another morning has arrived. People who have gotten up early to make a living gradually start to move around in the streets. From time to time, discussions about the fire outside the city a few days ago can be heard at the breakfast stalls.

It is said that the government troops set a mountain on fire, and the flames shot up into the sky. Even in the middle of the night, many people witnessed it with their own eyes.

There is not much entertainment in this era. Any trivial matter will trigger public opinion, let alone such a big commotion. It has already become the top trending topic in the city.

The initial rumors were reasonable, such as the mountain being accidentally set on fire by firecrackers, or a tree demon being struck by lightning during a winter drought.

But when it was learned that it was government troops who set the fire, the rumors took a strange turn.

Some people said that there was a big monster on the mountain, some said there was an ancient tomb on the mountain, and some said that burning the mountain during the New Year was a good way to celebrate...

The official notice actually made it very clear that the government troops were taking this action to suppress bandits.

The people chose not to believe it.

It is normal for the army to be responsible for suppressing bandits, but if there are only a few bandits, they can just send people up the mountain to catch them. There is no need to make such a big fuss. Otherwise, it means that there are a large number of bandits.

But bandits don’t appear out of nowhere. At the beginning, there must be just a few people who couldn’t survive and became bandits, and then gradually more and more people gathered.

There has been no news of any place around Liangcheng being hit by a disaster and the people unable to survive turning to banditry. Even if the situation is expanded to the area of ​​Liuzhou State, there has been no news of any place being hit by a disaster and the people unable to survive have turned to banditry. The weather has been good in recent years.

If they were refugees from other countries, then were the government troops blind to seeing such a large number of bandits passing through?

So even though the bandit rumour was officially announced, no one believed it.

Of course, the government doesn’t really care whether you believe it or not. If you want to gossip, just go ahead. The government has only strengthened patrols and surveillance, especially for people with suspicious behavior and Western appearance.

After this battle, the largest Tianlang Cult stronghold in Liuzhou was eliminated, and a large number of believers were either burned to death or became prisoners of the government army. The government was very satisfied with this result.

As for the people in the underworld, they can be said to be just average.

The scattered people were all very happy, feeling that they had truly participated in the great events of the martial arts world and had become famous.

But when the disciples of the major sects, especially the masters who led the teams, gathered together to discuss, the expressions on their faces did not seem too good, especially when the subject of discussion was Liu Tianquan's corpse.

Yang Yiyi said she was very panicked.

After dealing with Liu Tianquan, Yang Yiyi checked carefully to make sure that nothing of hers was dropped at the scene. Before leaving, she kicked away her footprints.

However, when Yang Yiyi returned with the large army and was waiting for the doctor to come and treat her wounds, she saw someone coming back carrying Liu Tianquan's body.

It was clearly placed in the cave, but it was found.

Yang Yiyi panicked at the time, fearing that someone would find out something related to her from the corpse.

But Li Chengxi had told her that if someone brought back Liu Tianquan's body, she should not panic. She just had to pretend to be curious and look around with other people. She didn't have to worry about anything else.

Yang Yiyi was very worried that they would find her hair or something on Liu Tianquan's body. After all, she had used the Iron Head Skill on Liu Tianquan. But fortunately, this did not happen. Several people just surrounded Liu Tianquan's body and studied it, and did not seem to notice that Yang Yiyi was panicking.

The cave where the body was located was connected to the secret room in the main hall of the village, and the entrance to the secret room was never closed from beginning to end, so it was only a matter of time before it was discovered.

But to be honest, when the body was brought back, Li Chengxi also felt a little regretful. Xumi Realm cannot hold living things, and he didn't know if the body would work. He should have tried it at that time, but the fire was about to burn over, and it might burn the rope left when he climbed up the mountain. Li Chengxi was in a hurry to get Yang Yiyi to run away, and he didn't think of this at all. It was a mistake.

If his physical condition did not allow it, Li Chengxi might have asked Yang Yiyi to drag Liu Tianquan's body out and throw it into the fire to put an end to it all, which would be better than leaving it there.

The discovery of Liu Tianquan's body is more troublesome than his disappearance without a trace.

Anyone could see that the big hole in Liu Tianquan's chest was a fatal wound, and they could also see that this kind of high-temperature attack that could burn the heart to ashes was not something that could be done by a martial artist, plus the location of the body.

What would the Liu family think after receiving the above information?
They might think that someone who had a grudge against the Liu family and possessed a unique hidden weapon killed Liu Tianquan.

Although the Liu family is a dog coin family, their reputation in the world is not low, and they have never had any enemies. If they are not in the open, then they must be in secret.

And speaking of enemies who are related to the secret things...

It's just those young women who escaped from prison recently.

In other words, the Liu family might have associated Liu Tianquan's body with the women who escaped at the time, including Yang Yiyi.

It will definitely take a long time for the Liu family to narrow down the scope, but Yang Yiyi is definitely a suspect.

With the girl's current abilities, it would be difficult for her to deal with Liu Tianquan alone. If the Liu family came with a large army, it would be troublesome.

However, this is the worst possible scenario. A person who was just a prisoner a few months ago suddenly had a high-energy weapon that could shoot through people a few months later, and took the opportunity when Liu Tianquan was alone to kill him. It is hard to believe that such a thing would happen.

At most, the Liu family simply increased their vigilance, and perhaps attributed Liu Tianquan's death to the Tianlang Sect. The possibility of directly suspecting Yang Yiyi is still very low.

It’s just that Yang Yiyi is not good at lying and can’t hide the truth on her face. Fortunately, a lot of injured heroes gathered together waiting for the doctor’s treatment, and Yang Yiyi was really inconspicuous among them, so no one noticed her.

For Yang Yiyi, it was just panic, but for the Liu family members who came with Liu Tianquan, each of them was like a bereaved family, and they were probably worried about how to go back and explain to the head of the family.

They did not stay in the stronghold of Shiliu Village for long. The next day, they wrapped themselves in bandages and prepared to transport Liu Tianquan's body back to the Liu family.

There is no refrigeration technology these days. If the bodies are not transported back quickly, they will probably become rotten. They want to leave quickly while the weather is cold.

Taoist Master Qingjingzi of Yunzhong Temple and Master Xuanci of Jingci Temple even performed a special ritual and recited the Rebirth Mantra to express their condolences. Various wandering people in the martial arts world also sent eulogies to express their grief, meaning that they wished you a good death.

The Liu family took the body away. Seeing that some of the slightly injured heroes chose to say goodbye, Yang Yiyi also planned to leave.

But Li Chengxi specifically told her not to be in a hurry, but to stay here for two days first, and wait until the Liu family had completely left before deciding to leave, so as to avoid making any moves that might appear to be trying to cover up something.

After all, according to the doctor's diagnosis, Yang Yiyi suffered serious internal injuries. If she ran away without waiting for the injuries to heal, it would arouse suspicion.

So the girl lived a life of never leaving the house in the stronghold of the Sixteen Villages. Someone would bring her meals, and she seldom left her room.

The main reason was that Yang Yiyi was so panicked that she was afraid that she would be exposed when she came into contact with others. If that happened, she would be in a dilemma.

It's really cute...
