Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 387 A hundred secrets and one sparse

In order to avoid suspicion, Yang Yiyi stayed in the stronghold of the Sixteen Villages for almost five days. Only after many heroes chose to leave did she drink the healing potion given by Li Chengxi early in the morning, find Zhou Yuxuan and say goodbye.

"Has Miss Yang's injury healed? It won't hurt to stay a few more days."

"I'm almost fully recovered now. Thank you for the care from the Sixteenth Village these days."

"Miss Yang has been invited to join the battle. It would be too unkind of us to ignore your injuries."

Zhou Yuxuan was just being polite, but he was a little worried while he was speaking.

I first noticed Yang Yiyi at Podao Temple. At that time, I just thought that this person was quite chivalrous and perhaps worth making friends with.

Other than that, there's nothing to worry about.

It was not until the last raid on the Sirius Cult stronghold where Jabbar was located that Zhou Yuxuan began to pay attention to Yang Yiyi after seeing her incredible improvement in martial arts.

According to the investigation of the Sixteen Villages, Yang Yiyi was born in an ordinary mountain village and joined the Qingshan Sect, a small and almost unknown sect, since she was a child. Something big may have happened in the sect not long ago, and her master and uncle all died. It seemed that they were planning to let Yang Yiyi take over as the head of the sect. However, Yang Yiyi chose to leave the sect and leave the position of head to her eldest sister He Ling.

The Sixteen Villages could not find out what was going on in other people's homes, but the most suspicious thing was that Yang Yiyi had actually traveled with the general of Liuzhou State and the daughter of Situ.

The two of them had been missing for a while, which caused a lot of commotion, but in the end they returned home with Yang Yiyi.

There must be some story hidden in this.

What concerned Zhou Yuxuan the most was that not long after the two young ladies returned home, the State of Liuzhou issued a wanted order against the Yuezhou Liu family.

Zhou Yuxuan was not in a position to speculate on what had happened, but what was certain was that Yang Yiyi had a role in this matter, and it was also her only connection with the Liu family.

Yes, Zhou Yuxuan suspected that it was Yang Yiyi who killed Liu Tianquan in the cave.

This was mainly because during the autopsy, thread-like indentations were found on Liu Tianquan's palms, and the double maces used by Yang Yiyi happened to be rebar.

However, Zhou Yuxuan also knew that Yang Yiyi's martial arts skills were not enough to defeat Liu Tianquan, not to mention that there was no reason for this.

He also sent people to ask the heroes in the martial arts world, and many of them said that they had seen Yang Yiyi fighting beside them, and that they left together when they evacuated. They never saw her leave, so Zhou Yuxuan dispelled his suspicion of Yang Yiyi.

In fact, this is the Mandela effect. Yang Yiyi only left a deep enough impression on the heroes at the beginning. It was a mess at that time, and the government troops even set a fire. Everyone was not very familiar with Yang Yiyi, and there would be a big deviation in their memory. They thought she was near them at the time. Some people even said that they remembered it very clearly, but in fact no one had seen Yang Yiyi's face. It is very likely that they mistook other people's backs for Yang Yiyi.

But no matter what, even if there was no testimony from others, it would be difficult for Zhou Yuxuan to suspect Yang Yiyi. With testimony from others, it would be even more impossible to suspect.

So I was just a little worried in my heart.

"Did Miss Yang meet Elder Liu that day?"

"Elder Liu? Is he the elder from the Liu family? I have been with many fellow martial artists and have not seen him since we went up the mountain. Why is Master Zhou asking me this?"

Zhou Yuxuan carefully glanced at Yang Yiyi's expression, and seeing that she was still frank, he clasped his fists and said:

"Nothing. Elder Liu died suddenly. I was just asking casually."

Fortunately, he was just asking casually, because Yang Yiyi's expression was almost unbearable.

A corpse can provide a lot of information. When Li Chengxi saw them bringing back Liu Tianquan's corpse, he considered the possibility of questioning Yang Yiyi.

So when Yang Yiyi and other knights were waiting for the doctor's diagnosis, Yang Yiyi was deliberately asked to chat with others and talk about what happened when she went up the mountain to fight with the people from the Tianlang Sect.

It was so chaotic at the time, and as long as Yang Yiyi's description was convincing, the audience would imagine that Yang Yiyi was also there. However, in fact, what Yang Yiyi said was taught to her by Li Chengxi, and the description of the scene was very vague.

This trick successfully created the Mandela effect, making a large number of martial arts masters think that Yang Yiyi was present at the time. Later, when he returned to his room to recuperate, Li Chengxi predicted what someone might ask Yang Yiyi, and specially wrote several answers for Yang Yiyi to practice in the room.

This girl is not good at lying. If she hadn't rehearsed it in advance, she would definitely be exposed in front of Zhou Yuxuan.

"Where is Lady Yang going?"

"I plan to leave Liangcheng and go back to celebrate the New Year."

After all, it’s the end of the year, and it’s normal to want to go back home to celebrate the New Year.

Zhou Yuxuan did not doubt it and clasped his fists and said:
"Then I won't keep Miss Yang. Have a safe trip."

"Farewell."

After that, Yang Yiyi left the stronghold of the Sixteen Villages and came to the street. Only then did she realize that her legs were a little weak...

Again, this girl is really not good at lying.

Yang Yiyi pretended to stroll along the street and slowly walked. After almost an incense stick of time, the fear disappeared. Then she went straight to the dock to find a boat to return to Liuzhou. Going home for the New Year was not realistic. Yang Yiyi didn't want to involve her family. The so-called going back for the New Year was actually to find Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping, and then write a letter to senior sister He Ling to tell her the news about Zhang Hongyu.

After doing all this, this unexpected trip is over.

But at the dock, I ran into an acquaintance again.

Tang Lianyu and her maid seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. As soon as they met, they said:

"Lady Yang, I knew I would run into you again."

"Miss Tang, aren't you only staying in Liangcheng for one day?"

"I am here specifically to wait for Lady Yang."

Tang Lianyu pointed in the direction outside Liangcheng:
"There was a fire in the barren hills outside the city a few days ago. I guess it has something to do with Miss Yang? I'm very curious about what's going on in the martial arts world. Can you tell me in detail?"

This part is fine to tell her, but important things cannot be told, such as the Sky-lifting Stone and the killing of the Liu family elders.

Yang Yiyi was invited into the cabin of the Tangfeng Trading Company's ship, and she told Tang Lianyu everything that had happened.

After hearing this, the latter exclaimed:

“I didn’t expect that while I’ve been busy with business recently, something so big would happen in the underworld.”

"I only found out after I entered the stronghold of the Sixteen Villages. Since Master Zhou invited me, it's hard for me to refuse."

There was nothing hard to refuse. Yang Yiyi was obviously very happy to agree at that time.

"But speaking of the Sirius Cult, I do know a thing or two about it."

Tang Lianyu smiled and said:

"The Sirius Cult has grown stronger in the Western Regions, which has caused displeasure among the local government. Something may happen in the near future, and then the Sirius Cult members will not move around in the Central Plains."

As the saying goes, heroes break the law with force, not to mention a violent religious group like the Sirius Cult. It is normal for this to alert local authorities.

After all, it is different from Li Chengxi's Demon King Cult. If it weren't for Li Chengxi's strong request, Viola might have implemented the integration of politics and religion.

"Although I don't know what they transported from the Central Plains, there is a path that Lady Yang may have overlooked."

"Which way?"

Tang Lianyu pointed at the ground below, and Yang Yiyi asked curiously:

"Boat? We'll definitely be discovered if we take the water route."

"Not a river ship, but a sea ship."

Zhou Yuxuan said that the people from the Sirius Cult might have gone through southern Xinjiang and then returned to the Western Regions, and he had already sent people to chase them, but he did not say that there was a possibility of them taking the sea route.

"Wuzhou is close to the sea, and there is an important base of the Heavenly Wolf Cult near Liangcheng. They are very likely to transport something by sea, all the way north to the Northland, and then from the Northland to the Western Regions."

This is entirely possible, and even more likely than going through southern Xinjiang. After all, compared to southern Xinjiang, which is full of jungles and has a complex environment, going by water is safer and faster.

It’s not that Zhou Yuxuan didn’t think of this, but that even though he thought of it, he had no way to pursue it.

No matter how fast a person runs, he can't catch up with a ship. In this vast ocean, the ship leaves no trace at all and there is no way to catch up.

Moreover, Zhou Yuxuan instinctively did not want to believe this. If the Sirius Cult really took the sea route, this might mean that the Northland also had a certain alliance relationship with the Sirius Cult.

"This is just my humble opinion. I believe the heroes have already thought of it."

Tang Lianyu said, and then changed her tone:
"I wonder where Lady Yang is planning to go back to?"

"Go back to Liuzhou for the New Year."

"Great, we're on the same route, and I just happen to want to go back to Liuzhou."

What do you mean it's just on the way? It's obvious that Tang Lianyu was waiting for Yang Yiyi here on purpose.

This woman is too smart. Yang Yiyi, who is simple-minded, really didn't realize that Tang Lianyu was waiting for her on purpose.
