Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 488 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

"Young Master Yue."

Sun Qian, the eldest son of the Sun family business, bowed and smiled obsequiously as he led the way.

"This way."

"The merchant guild recently hunted a spirit deer. The meat of this beast is delicious and has miraculous effects of nourishing the body and prolonging life. The chef of Zuixiangju is especially skilled at processing the flesh and blood of demons and will specially entertain you, young master."

"Brother Sun, you're too kind." Yue Nanfeng held a folding fan and fanned himself gently, dressed like a refined young gentleman.

"What a waste, what a waste!"

"Sigh!" Sun Qian waved his hand.
"Young Master Yue's presence is an honor for me, Sun."

"When our business leaves Taiyuan in the future, I hope that Young Master Yue will take good care of us. I will be extremely grateful."

"No problem," Vietnamese Peak said with a faint smile.

“My father once said that the Zhou and Nie families of Taiyuan Prefecture have been inheriting many benefits for many years, but they have never shared any of them with others. It is time for the prefecture to have another powerful family.”

"The Sun family seems like a good fit."

Sun Qian's eyes lit up, then he gave an embarrassed smile.

"Don't dare."

"The Zhou and Nie families are century-old prestigious families. How can the Sun family, a nouveau riche, compare with them?"

"Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?" Vietnam Peak squinted.

"Those two families were not born into centuries-old powerful families."

He genuinely had this idea: to support a powerful family in Taiyuan Prefecture that could rival the Zhou and Nie families.

Sky Eagle Thief
It cannot be just a gang of thieves.

He had long been fed up with living a precarious life.

"Yes." Sun Qian's eyes shone brightly, and his face glowed.
"With the help of the young master, the Sun family will have smooth business dealings and may earn as much money as those century-old wealthy families, if nothing else."

"Come!"

"Young Master Yue, please take a seat."

The two sat down one after the other, and immediately a woman with a fragrant body came over gracefully and leaned against them, urging them to drink.

not far away.

The geisha plucked the strings of her harp, producing a melodious tune.

"Master."

One person spoke in a low voice:
"We just received news that Xu Qing, the Earth Rat, is dead, but Zhu Ju is unharmed."

"Ok?"

Vietnamese Peak paused in his act of holding the wine glass, his expression turning grim.
"What a waste!"

"Didn't he say that he could roam freely across the three prefectures without leaving a trace, and that Zhu Ju was a mere trifle to be captured?"

So much time has passed, and the target is still safe and sound, but the person who did it has met a violent end.

"This..." The subordinate hesitated for a moment before saying:

"It seems he's been caught off guard. I heard the Zhu family has more than ten powerful crossbows. A single volley could have pinned him to death in the mine. As for the specifics, I haven't found out yet."

"Hmph!" Vietnam Peak snorted coldly.

"Don't worry, young master," the subordinate whispered.
"I've already sent people to investigate the Zhu residence and do some tampering while they're at it. They'll make sure he doesn't get away with it."

Sudden.

"What are you looking at?"

A sharp sound came from not far away.

"Look again, and I'll gouge out your dog eyes!"

“You…” The Sky Eagle Bandit guarding behind Vietnam Peak changed his expression and subconsciously pressed the hilt of his knife at his waist.

"I didn't even look at you!"

He did glance at her, but the other person was dressed strangely, and was a woman dressed as a man. What was wrong with taking a look?
Many people have seen this.

"Still talking?"

Huang Ying, her face sallow and her appearance altered, slammed her hand on the table and stood up:

"court death!"

Why should friends hold grudges?

Sun Qian tried to smooth things over:

"It's fate that we meet. I've treated you to food and drinks today, so please don't be angry..."

"Stone." Yue Feng glanced at Huang Ying, his brow furrowing slightly, and gestured to his subordinates behind him:

"Apologize."

"..." Stone gritted his teeth and reluctantly lowered his head:

"Feel sorry."

"Heh..." Huang Ying raised an eyebrow:
"They're quite polite, which is quite different from the rumored bandits, but it's useless."

Ok?
Vietnam Peak's expression changed, and then a blade of light appeared, instantly enveloping the entire area.

"boom!"

"Boom!" A loud noise came from ahead, stopping the two people in the carriage who were talking.

"what happened?"

Zhou Ruxuan lifted the car curtain, her brows furrowed:
"Uncle He, pull the car over to the side of the road and ask someone to find out what happened up ahead."

"Yes."

He Boying adjusted the carriage and stopped it by the roadside.

Not long after.

A servant from the Zhou household rushed over, his voice filled with fear, trepidation, and suppressed glee.

"Miss."

"A murder occurred at Zuixiangju. The son of Tianying Bandit Leader Yue Nanfeng and Sun Qian, the eldest son of the Sun Family Chamber of Commerce, were both killed."

"What?!" Zhou Ruxuan's expression changed drastically.

"Who did it?"

Sun Qian was just a young master of a merchant guild, and his cultivation and strength were not strong, so his death was nothing.

but,
Vietnamese Peak is a seventh-rank master!
Moreover, he possesses a divine weapon imbued with vital energy, and there are few in the entire Taiyuan Prefecture who can kill him.

Even someone with that kind of power would have hesitated to act because of his father, yet he was killed?
"do not know."

The servant shook his head, his expression strange.
"According to the guests downstairs, the perpetrator seems to be a young woman."

"It seems that the Vietnamese peak saw that the girl was exceptionally beautiful and went up to flirt with her. As a result, all of the more than ten people in the group were killed by the girl, leaving no survivors."

Ok?
Zhou Ruxuan's expression shifted, and after a long while, she slowly spoke:
"Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. It seems that Vietnam Peak has encountered some master passing through this area and has brought bad luck upon himself."

"That should be the case." Zhu Ju smiled faintly.
"It would be a great relief if such a person died."

“That’s true.” Zhou Ruxuan smiled gently.
"The Yue family is really unlucky. With such a sudden murder, Yue Xihong probably won't even be able to find his enemy to take revenge."

"it is good!"

"It's really great!"

"Miss," the coachman, Uncle He, began.
"The people from the City Lord's Mansion have arrived. They'll probably be questioning us soon. Should we go back to the manor to avoid them?"

"That kind of vicious person..."

"They act recklessly, and no one can guarantee what they will do."

"Yes." Zhou Ruxuan's smile faded.

"Go home!"

Zhu Ju looked out through the carriage curtain.

On the rooftop, Huang Ying, holding a blood-stained longsword, glanced in this direction and then turned and left.

In order not to alert the culprit, she did not reveal her true identity, and it seems that the Eagle Thief really cannot find the murderer.

…………

'I wonder when the people sent by the Huang family to wipe out the Sky Eagle Bandits will arrive. Hopefully, it won't be too long.'

On the way back, Zhu Ju seemed to be deep in thought.

Although the killing of Nguyen Phong was 'unrelated' to him, no one could guarantee that he wouldn't incur the wrath of Viet Sai Hong.

The optimal solution.

The Huang family needs to send men quickly to wipe out all the Day Eagle Bandits!
With the Huang family's strength, wiping out the Sky Eagle Bandits shouldn't be difficult. The key question is whether it's worth it for Liu Tinglan and the other two.

"Master!"

Just as they arrived outside the Zhu residence, before they even dismounted from their carriage, someone rushed in.

"Oh no!"

"The Second Miss has been kidnapped!"

"Hmm?" Zhu Ju's face darkened.
"Really?"

"Who did it? Where did it go? When did it happen? Were any clues left behind?"

"Don't rush, tell me slowly."

"Yes." The servant took a deep breath and said:

"Not long ago, a villain disguised as a lumber-delivering mountain villager sneaked into the manor and secretly entered the backyard, attempting to abduct the two young ladies. Fortunately, Yang Yi discovered him in time, preventing him from succeeding. However, that man was quite powerful and managed to kidnap Miss Zhenzhen in full view of everyone. Currently, Guard Zhang, along with Qian Hu and others, are chasing after him south of the city..."

Zhu Ju got off the carriage and looked up towards the south of the city.

To be able to abduct someone and escape despite being guarded by so many guards, one must be quite strong and have excellent agility.

Zhang Huyuan,
I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up.

He has the blood of the Zhu family, and he can use a secret technique to find Zhu Zhenzhen. However, this kind of secret technique consumes a lot of vital essence and blood and causes great damage to the body. He will not use it unless absolutely necessary.

Fortunately…

There are other ways now.

Zhu Ju squinted his eyes and opened his nostrils, and in an instant, a multitude of smells rushed into his skull.

A multitude of sensations—sourness, numbness, itching, and pain—rushed in at once. Had he not possessed astonishing control over his body, he would likely have interrupted the spellcasting with a single sneeze.

Supernatural Power—Tracking Across Thousands of Miles!
This is the innate supernatural ability of the Golden-Nosed White-Haired Sky-Piercing Rat.
