Chapter 188 Muddy Waters and Add Fuel to the Fire

You know what, although Wuxiang City is so desolate that there is not even a restaurant, there are many shops selling paper horses and incense.

Zhao Ya bought a whole cart of paper money and followed Zui'er to her grandmother's grave.

After not returning for several years, the grave was already overgrown with weeds.

Zhao Ya and Zui'er cleaned it carefully, and then began to burn incense and worship.

"Grandma, Zui'er has sent you money!"

"Don't be so frugal over there, just buy whatever you want to eat. You have suffered too much in your life. I know you have always been worried about me, but I am now taken care of by Brother Xiaoya, and I am living a good life, so you can rest assured."

While throwing paper money into the fire, Zui'er muttered softly, and tears flowed down as she spoke.

Meng Shiwen, who was far away, also had red eyes.

Zhao Ya sighed secretly when he saw this, but did not persuade her.

Because he knew that Zui'er, this girl, although innocent on the surface, was actually very worried.

This time, she finally came back, so she could talk for a while, which could be regarded as relieving her inner longing.

After talking for more than half an hour, a whole car of paper money was burned, and Zui'er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up and said.

"Brother Xiaoya, let's go!"

"Okay!"

Zhao Ya took them back to the Hong family again.

The Hong family's mansion was vast, and Zhao Ya chose a courtyard near the inside. After cleaning it up, he let Meng Shiwen and Zui'er live here.

Then Zhao Ya was about to leave again, and Meng Shiwen stopped him at this time.

"Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong, senior sister?"

"Xiaoya, tell me, what did you do in Qingzhuling last night?" Meng Shiwen asked.

Zhao Ya hesitated for a moment, and then picked out the important things to tell Meng Shiwen.

Hearing that Zhao Ya had done so many things overnight, even the five village chiefs of Qingzhuling and the sister of the big village chief were killed by him, Meng Shiwen couldn't help but change her color slightly, and then she said.

"Do you need help?"

Looking at Meng Shiwen's serious face, Zhao Ya couldn't help but smile, then shook his head.

"No need, Senior Sister, it's more convenient for me to act alone, you just need to protect Zui'er and yourself here."

"Then... be careful!"

Meng Shiwen also knew that what Zhao Ya said was true. Now his strength has far surpassed hers, and if she really goes with him, it will be a burden, so she didn't insist.

"Don't worry, I know my limits, but it will take me one or two days this time. Don't worry, just wait here, but if you haven't come back for more than three days..."

"No need to say, we'll wait for you to come back!" Meng Shiwen interrupted Zhao Ya's words with a serious face.

Zhao Ya smiled, but didn't say anything, just nodded, and then left Wuxiang City again and came to Qingzhu Ridge.

With the experience of the last time, Zhao Ya was familiar with the road this time, and soon arrived at the outskirts of Qingzhu Ridge.

Standing in the distance under a big tree and looking inside, although the surface was still calm, from the swaying grass, it can be seen that the defense of Qingzhu Ridge today was much stricter than yesterday.

Zhao Ya had expected this, so he was not in a hurry. Instead, he found a safe and windproof place to take a nap.

The daytime in winter is very short, and the sun sets at three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Especially in this mountain forest, it was dark just after five o'clock.

At this time, Zhao Ya also woke up.

After several hours of rest, Zhao Ya felt that all his fatigue was gone, and when the cold wind blew, he felt indescribably refreshed.

With the deepening of his cultivation, Zhao Ya's sleep time has been greatly shortened. He only needs to sleep for three or four hours to recover completely.

He ate a few pieces of dried meat first, moved his body, adjusted his whole body to the peak state, and then quietly disappeared into the darkness.

As soon as he entered Qingzhu Ridge, Zhao Ya obviously felt the pressure.

Although the number of patrolling minions did not increase, Zhao Ya's senses were so sharp that he soon realized that there were people hiding and spying in many hidden corners.

Even Zhao Ya, who had the breath-hiding technique, would be discovered after walking a few steps if he were someone else.

Even so, Zhao Ya's speed slowed down greatly. It took him an hour to pass through the outer area and reach the first checkpoint before entering the mountain.

But today was different from yesterday.

There were dozens of lanterns on the open ground, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day.

But this did not bother Zhao Ya.

He walked in from the side and finally came to the back of these houses again after making a big circle.

There were no guards here.

Because the people of Qingzhuling did not expect anyone to come here.

Zhao Ya lay on the back wall and listened attentively. At first, he could only hear a few faint breathing sounds.

It was not until a long time later that someone said, "Second brother, now that the fifth brother and the third lady are dead, the eldest brother still believes in the slander of those bastards of the Lianshi Sect. What should we do?"

"Who said it wasn't, second brother, now among all of us old brothers, you have the most seniority and the highest status, you have to make the decision for us!"

The voices were two completely unfamiliar ones.

But judging from the fact that they called the dead Huo Tianxiao the fifth brother or the fifth brother, they should be the leaders of Qingzhuling.

Zhao Ya became interested.

The reason why he took so much trouble to arrange the scene last night was for this.

Now it seems that the effect has begun to show.

Although there was no fire or internal strife, the hatred between them became deeper and deeper.

The fact that these people came to Zhan Feng was an obvious sign.

Zhao Ya was thinking in his mind and then heard Zhan Feng speaking in the room.

"Everyone, please don't be impatient. The leader of Dazhai did not say that he would let Lian Shizong go. It's just that there were a lot of strange things that happened last night. We have to investigate clearly before we can draw a conclusion."

"What else does this need to be investigated? I heard that Guan Lun had been plotting against the third lady before, and even drunkenly said that he wanted to occupy the third lady, so what happened last night was not obvious."

"It must be that Guan Lun was forced to commit adultery and had a conflict with the third lady. In the end, they both ended up dead."

"Yes, yes, even Fifth Brother's death is the same. It must have been done by people from the Lianshi Sect, because Fifth Brother was the most dissatisfied with their actions and almost had conflicts in front of everyone several times. So they must have done it secretly with a grudge.”

"I agree!"

Suddenly the room was boiling.

Although the scene arranged by Zhao Ya last night was not perfect, a discerning person could see flaws in many places at a glance.

But people are often like this, they only believe what they want to believe and ignore other details.

In particular, people like Qingzhuling have had a long-standing grudge with Lianshi Sect, and both sides want to kill each other.

So as soon as this incident came out, almost everyone in Qingzhuling immediately believed that Lian Shizong was behind it.

And Zhao Ya's purpose of muddying the water was achieved.

But it seems that it is not enough, it still needs a little heat.

really.

In the face of everyone's clamor, Zhan Feng remained calm and tried his best to persuade everyone to calm down and at least wait until the leader of the village completed the investigation before making any calculations.

His attitude also disappointed these people.

But unfortunately, Zhan Feng is now the most prestigious person in the mountain besides Fu Tingyuan, the leader of Dazhai.

He doesn't want to come forward, and no matter how anxious the remaining people are, nothing will happen.

So in the end these people had no choice but to disperse.

After everyone left, Zhan Feng sat alone in the room with a sad look on his face.

In Qingzhuling today, he may be the only one who knows best who did what happened last night.

But the more this happened, the heavier Zhan Feng's heart became.

Because the situation in Qingzhuling was already very complicated, and now Zhao Ya who was hiding in the dark appeared, it became even more chaotic.

But Zhan Feng did not tell anyone the news.

Because although he didn't want to come forward, the conflict with Lian Shizong was real.

He insists on not telling the hidden truth. In this case, the best result is that Fu Tingyuan, the leader of Dazhai, also believes that his sister was killed by people from Lianshi Sect, and then takes action to eliminate her.

In this case, the enemy will be eliminated and you will not have to take any risks.

And Zhan Feng is not a fool. He naturally understands the purpose of this group of people looking for him. They just want him to be the one who stands out and they follow behind to take advantage.

Do you really think everyone is a fool?

Thinking of this, Zhan Feng touched his chest, which was still a little stuffy, and felt some lingering fear in his heart.

Fu Tingyuan's strength is getting stronger now. Last night, he was blown away with just one palm.

Moreover, Zhan Feng knew that if Fu Tingyuan had not intended to kill him and showed mercy, he would have died last night.

So Zhan Feng would rather be reviled by thousands of people than come out like this.

Just as he was deep in thought, Zhao Yaze, who was behind the house, also began to make preparations silently.

In his opinion, although Qingzhuling has become a powder keg, it still lacks a fuse before it completely detonates.

And the trigger was Zhan Feng.

Just imagine.

The leader of the fifth village and the third lady died just last night, and the Lianshi Sect is the most suspected.

Even the second village leader died today, and Lian Shizong was the most suspect.

In this way, no matter how calm and rational Fu Tingyuan is, he still has to wonder whether the people from Lianshi Sect are deliberately eradicating his subordinates.

After all, once can be described as a coincidence, but what about twice or three times?

By then, even if he doesn't want to explode, it won't work.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya was about to take action, planning to open a small hole in the back wall and then poison Zhan Feng to deal with it.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps outside, and then someone walked into the house and said to Zhan Feng.

"Second Village Master, my Gu Master invites you!"

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Ya immediately stopped all movements in his hands and listened carefully.

Although he couldn't see it, Zhan Feng's surprise could be felt from the brief silence.

After a long time, I heard Zhan Feng say: "What does your Gu master ask me to do?"

"I don't know about this, but my Gu Master told the Second Village Master that you don't need to be nervous. He just wants to ask you something, and you don't have to worry about your safety. He will be waiting for you on the hill behind."

"All right."

Although Zhan Feng didn't want to see the golden silkworm Gu master, he also knew that he couldn't avoid this matter by hiding. It would be better to meet him once in his own territory.

But it can't be so blatant, otherwise if someone sees it, it may lead to misunderstanding, thinking that his unwillingness to come forward is because he is colluding with the people of the Lianshi Sect.

The hills behind are relatively secluded and close to their own territory. It is a relatively good choice and shows the sincerity of this golden silkworm Gu master.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you on the hill behind in half an hour."
