Chapter 509 Words Can Kill

As the saying goes, if you want to look good, wear mourning clothes.

The widow of the deputy leader of the Fengyun Gang was this pretty.

"Does Chief Jiang still remember why her late husband died at White Tiger Ridge?" the deputy chief's widow asked softly.

“Of course I know.” Jiang Buqi didn’t bring his personal emotions into it, but said, “When the Hundred Guards of Xilong Kingdom acted strangely, the deputy leader went to investigate personally.”

"They left through White Tiger Ridge, and were killed on their way back."

Li Qingying, who was eating melon seeds nearby, also turned pale upon hearing this.

She then realized that the Fengyun Gang belonged to her enemy.

Not only the Fengyun Gang, but also Duan Baiyu.

As for the unusual movements of the Hundred-Faced Guards, it was naturally to try and bring her back.

"That's right. Does Chief Jiang know why her late husband died?" the other party asked again.

"Jiang suspects that he was murdered because he discovered something but then leaked his whereabouts," Jiang Buqi said, revealing his guess.

“Indeed, since Chief Jiang has admitted to this, then please go to your death.” After Elder Xu finished speaking, all the elders and members of the Fengyun Gang, as well as the group of Jianghu people who came to help, took out their weapons and prepared to fight.

Jiang Buqi immediately said, "What have I admitted to?"

“Chief Jiang is asking a question he already knows the answer to.” The widow of the deputy chief took out a letter and said, “My late husband went to Xilong to investigate and unfortunately encountered Chief Jiang and the General of Xilong meeting in secret.”

"He said he wanted to cooperate from within and without, and if he could annex Xilong, he would be granted the title of a king of a different surname."

"My deceased husband fought desperately to escape, but was eventually caught up by you, Chief Jiang, at White Tiger Ridge."

"Chief Jiang, I don't know what words you used to deceive your deceased husband, which led you to launch a sneak attack and kill him with such cruel methods."

“But you never imagined that when my late husband was crossing mountains and valleys, he met a woodcutter who delivered a letter to me written in blood.”

"Otherwise, when the country is on the verge of collapse, you, this treacherous villain who appears loyal, will be able to reveal your true, hideous face." As she spoke, the woman became indignant.

If Jiang Buqi hadn't actually never done those things, she might have believed it.

“Sister-in-law, when the deputy leader went to Xilong, I was still coordinating the provisions and preparing to march north to fight against Beishuo. How could I be so busy as to go to Xilong?” Jiang Buqi calmly retorted.

"This matter can be testified to by a group of gang members, and even more..."

Before he could finish speaking, Elder Xu interrupted him, "You villain, look who this person is!"

After that, a burly man covered in blood was pushed out.

Jiang Buqi did not recognize the other person, but Elder Xu showed Jiang Buqi who this person was through his actions.

They took a human skin mask, put it on the man, and then propped his body up.

He's practically the second Jiang Buqi.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately understood why they had brought this man out.

He's a body double.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Buqi realized that this group of people were very well prepared, and their purpose was to trap him in a deadly situation.

This is what it means to use someone else to do the dirty work.

It's just unclear which country was behind it.

His gaze swept over everyone present. This matter was not only carried out by an enemy country, but there must also be insiders involved.

There are some in the Fengyun Gang, and there are also some among these veterans of the martial arts world.

It wasn't just him boasting, but without him, the Fengyun Gang and even the Donglin Kingdom would definitely run into trouble.

Therefore, he was always a thorn in the side of the Three Kingdoms.

"You villain, do you have anything else to say?" Elder Xu said with a sneer.

“Yes, yes.” Chu Danqing then asked, “If Jiang Buqi really wanted to collude with the enemy and betray the country, then why did he lead you to fight against the Three Kingdoms before?”

"On the battlefield, I could easily wipe out your entire army with a single ambush."

"On the contrary, you seem to be colluding with the enemy and betraying your country. After all, without Jiang Buqi, how can a bunch of good-for-nothings like you be a match for the Three Kingdoms?"

As soon as he said that, the onlookers seemed to think it made a lot of sense.

Chu Danqing said this because from the moment this group of people opened their mouths, not a single word of truth was uttered.

Therefore, he had a new suspect: the neighboring country to the east.

That's right, it's not one of the three hostile kingdoms, but the Eastern Lin Kingdom that Jiang Buqi is determined to defend to the death.

Chu Danqing had guessed the purpose: Jiang Buqi's prestige was too great and needed to be eliminated, and secondly, to take back power.

This speculation originated when Jiang Buqi went to coordinate the grain and fodder.

The Fengyun Gang relied on its own provisions rather than the imperial court to resist the Three Kingdoms, which means they were self-sufficient.

For the imperial court, not only does the Fengyun Gang have a large number of people and great power, but it also has a complete logistical system.

In addition to Jiang Buqi's prestige, even if you are loyal to the emperor and the country and do not sit on the dragon throne, what if your subordinates want to advance and put you on the throne?
Otherwise, if it were truly the work of an enemy country, they wouldn't be targeting us so openly and blatantly.

Upon hearing Chu Danqing's words, Fu Ling, Elder Xu, and the others glared at him angrily.

"You brat, what do you know about matters of national importance or the wickedness of people's hearts?" Fu Ling, relying on his age, started to scold.

Chu Danqing didn't tolerate him and spoke sarcastically, "It's better than some old fogies who are good at internal strife but bad at external strife and only know how to rely on their age." "You, you..." Fu Ling really wanted to fight. How dare a mere young master who had never practiced martial arts bark so arrogantly.

However, he hesitated to act directly in public, as it would make him appear narrow-minded. He decided to wait until he had driven Jiang Buqi to his death before giving this arrogant brat a good beating.

"Jiang Buqi, the evidence is irrefutable. What are you waiting for? Quickly commit suicide to atone for your sins!" Fu Ling turned his attention to Jiang Buqi.

As soon as he said this, everyone present immediately echoed his sentiments and shouted in unison.

Jiang Buqi now faces two paths.

The first option is to fight your way out.

The entire Fengyun Gang that came this time has been bewitched by these elders. As long as he breaks out and regroups, there is still a chance.

However, doing so would greatly weaken the Fengyun Gang's split and increase its influence.

This will ultimately lead to a border crisis in the neighboring country to the east.

The second option is to minimize the impact; now that things have come to this, he must find evidence to prove his innocence.

They certainly wouldn't want him to die, so they could only try to find out who framed him.

But the situation has already become like this, and only by stepping down as the leader of the Fengyun Gang can he maintain the stability of the Fengyun Gang.

“I, Jiang, am an upright man. This matter is a slander by the enemy, an attempt to sow discord between us, so that they can use you to kill me,” Jiang Buqi immediately said.

"Ha, sophistry." Elder Xu immediately retorted: "Heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river. Without you, Jiang Buqi, are you saying that my Donglin Kingdom and the Fengyun Gang will be wiped out?"

"Since you can't distinguish right from wrong, I, Jiang, will resign from my position as leader of the Fengyun Gang today. I'll explain everything to you after I've investigated the truth." Jiang Buqi completely ignored Elder Xu's words and turned to leave after speaking.

Chu Danqing was also shocked. You, a top expert, actually want to prove your innocence? Did he end up in the female-oriented genre?

If Chu Danqing were in charge of handling this, he would simply hang these people up and kill them one by one. Whoever reveals the mastermind behind it would be allowed to live, while the rest would all die.

He's a good person, but not a victim. This whole group of people came here to kill him, and you want to find out the truth before making any further statements? What a load of rubbish.

"Trying to leave? Leave your life behind!" Elder Xu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he immediately made his move.

"Don't bother with such wicked villains and talk about chivalry. Let's fight side by side!" Fu Ling said immediately after Elder Xu finished speaking.

Immediately, everyone attacked together.

Seeing this, Jiang Buqi could no longer hold back and summoned the Heavenly King of the Seas, Wu Xiang.

True energy burst forth from his body, transforming into the shape of a dragon and a tiger. Immediately, the sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls arose, sending the group of attackers flying backward.

He was still holding back, but he only used 30% of his strength.

If this were used at full power, those people who were close by would be killed instantly.

"If there's a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless," Jiang Buqi said, withdrawing his true energy and martial prowess as a warning.

Elder Xu got up, his face full of shock.

He originally thought that he, a first-rate expert, was not much different from Jiang Buqi, a so-called top expert, and that with his superior numbers, the other party would have no power to resist.

It turned out that they were the ones who had no power to resist.

Jiang Buqi didn't even lift a finger; his martial arts combined with his true qi alone had left them all in such a sorry state.

The strength of the top experts exceeded everyone's imagination.

Everyone was terrified, and no one dared to stop Jiang Buqi anymore.

"Jiang Buqi, if you leave like this today without giving an explanation, you are no longer a member of my Fengyun Gang." Elder Xu roared as he watched Jiang Buqi's departing figure, intending to force him back and make him commit suicide.

If you can't beat them, you can only force them; what else can you do?

Unfortunately, Jiang Buqi completely ignored him.

"Good, good, very good! Today, the Fengyun Gang will strip Jiang Buqi of his name!" Elder Xu said, his face flushed with embarrassment.

"Tsk tsk, it's obvious that Jiang Buqi didn't want your Fengyun Gang anymore, but you managed to make up for it. That's quite something." Chu Danqing added sarcastically.

"The Fengyun Gang is only the Fengyun Gang with Jiang Buqi. Without Jiang Buqi, a top expert, the Fengyun Gang, which joins forces with outsiders to force its own leader to leave, is probably no different from a stray dog ​​on the roadside."

After saying that, Chu Danqing left with Da Bao and Li Qingying.

The five signs of decay for the Heavenly King have already begun; he has no time to get entangled with these insignificant people.

"You bastard, how dare you!" Elder Xu said, about to make a move.

If I can't handle Jiang Buqi, I can't handle you, you spoiled brat.

However, they were stopped by the other members of the Fengyun Gang.

They'd already lost face enough; taking action would be even more humiliating.

"Can you smell a strange fragrance?" Fu Ling suddenly asked.

"Now that you mention it, it does exist." Elder Xu calmed down and sniffed it; indeed, it did exist.

On the other side, an elder of the Fengyun Gang opened the secret letter and read it. The letter read: "The Hundred-Faced Guards are coming to White Tiger Ridge, carrying a rare poison, a talented scholar and a beautiful woman. The fragrance of the poison will make people weak and exhausted."

"Oh no, it's the Hundred-Image Guard!!!" The elder rushed over and handed the secret letter to Elder Xu, but as soon as he finished, his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

Fu Ling glanced at it, then immediately covered his mouth and nose, disregarding his reputation, and forcibly circulated his true energy to escape using his lightness skill.

Elder Xu, not to be outdone, roared, "Run!"
