Chapter 2119 Crying in mourning
"Everyone who participated in the treasure hunt died. At that time, I was sent by Anfeng to keep watch, so I escaped..." said the dark guard, with tears in his eyes.
They had been in the Dark Guard Camp since they were young, and were as close as brothers to the other Dark Guards. Now, watching so many people die in front of them at once, it was hard to bear the grief even if their hearts were as hard as rocks.
Upon hearing the news, Chen Changli was struck by lightning, his lips trembling: "No one is left alive?"
"No, not only our people, but also the drivers of the stone carts are all dead."
After saying this, Chen Changli closed his eyes tightly, waved his hand, and pretended to be calm and said, "I understand. You go and heal your wounds first. I will take care of this matter."
"Yes, master." The secret guard dragged his injured body and left step by step.
It was not until he walked away that Chen Changli staggered and held onto the door frame. Furious, he strode out, determined to get to the bottom of the matter.
The next morning.
Before daybreak, the family of the stone-cart driver blocked the door of Yan's house, shouting and making a fuss, and their cries were deafening like devilish sounds.
Several elderly people and children were holding onto the doorstep, crying and wailing, "God damn it, you tricked the pillar of my family into transporting stones, and now he's dead, how can you just ignore it and act like nothing happened?"
"My poor child."
"Wow, wow, daddy, I want daddy..."
Looking at the old people and children making a mess, the Yan residence's doorman scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Old man, child, you must have made a mistake. We didn't hire anyone to transport the stones."
The Yan family is a wealthy and reasonable family. They will not directly drive people away, but they will not tolerate others making trouble.
"I don't care. Today, you, the Yan Mansion, must give us an explanation."
The old man lay sideways, as if he had decided to blame the Yan family. They saw the body of the stone-carrying driver early this morning, but could not find the master of the secret guard. They could only vaguely track him here and determined that it was the Yan family.
She cried and howled, and the entrance to the Yan family was bustling with activity and soon filled with people. The doorman became anxious and quickly went to call the housekeeper.
After briefly explaining the matter, the concierge looked helpless and said, "I don't know where they came from. We don't have any hired workers in our mansion. How could they kill someone?"
"Humph, that old woman must have lost her child and couldn't find anyone to ask about it, so she came here to blackmail me." The housekeeper snorted coldly, and said calmly: "Go call a few guards, follow me out, and chase them away."
"Yes, little one, go right here."
The doorman ran away, hastily looking for the guards. Soon, the butler appeared with a few strong men and looked at the family coldly.
"We didn't hire anyone to transport the stones. You guys should go back. If you continue to cause trouble, the Yan family will not tolerate it. We will definitely arrest you and report you to the police. We will punish you for false accusations."
As they spoke, the sturdy men stood in front of the old woman. She could only look up at them, trembling with fear for a moment.
The old man's daughter-in-law quickly helped her up, glanced at the Yan Mansion awkwardly, and said in a low voice: "Mom, the Yan family is angry. We are just guessing. Otherwise, let's go first."
Hearing this, the old woman was very sad: "Is my son going to die like this for no reason?"
"There are so many people in the family. How can we live without him?" The old woman covered her face and cried. She came here today just to ask the Yan family to pay a sum of money so that she could support her grandson.
But looking at the Yan family's situation, they were helpless in the end and the family left in embarrassment.
After the people were driven away, the housekeeper returned to the yard and told the doorman to keep an eye on the outside, not taking the matter to heart.
However, this matter reached Chen Changli's ears. After learning the situation, he instructed the only remaining secret guard to bring a large sum of money to pay compensation.
"Remember, you must hand it over to the old man in person." Chen Changli reminded him and put the thick bag of money in the hands of the secret guard.
When Wan Shufang walked in, she happened to pass by the secret guard. Seeing the money bag in his hand, Wan Shufang pursed her lips and said calmly: "Chen Changli, there are too many suspicious points in this matter. We should go to Yuezhou and check it out in person."
"With An Feng's ability, he shouldn't have led the Dark Guard...without any survivors." Wan Shufang choked for a moment and looked at Chen Changli with burning eyes.
Chen Changli nodded slightly, a shadow fell on his brow, and his Adam's apple rolled: "Okay, we will set off for Yuezhou tomorrow."
Listening to his dull voice, Wan Shufang felt sad. She knew that Chen Changli could not help blaming himself for the disaster that the Secret Guard had suffered.
She took a step forward and gently covered his hands with her soft hands: "Don't be sad, find out the truth and we will avenge them."
"it is good."
Chen Changli's eyelashes trembled, and he reached out and hugged Wan Shufang in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness.
Noon the next day.
After packing up their things, the two set off for Yuezhou. Yuezhou was not far from here, and before evening, the two had already reached Yuezhou.
They found a teahouse and sat down. After looking around, they found that there were many Taoist priests here.
Wan Shufang couldn't help but think of the Qin family, and couldn't help frowning: "Why are there so many Taoists here? Is it haunted again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Chen Changli could reply, the man next to him took the initiative to speak: "You just got here, you don't even know this."
"The spiritual stones produced in Yuezhou are of great benefit to the practitioners. These people are here to fight for the spiritual stones." The man shook his head and picked up the teacup and drank it all.
Seeing that he was not dressed as a Taoist priest, Wan Shufang nodded slightly. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by a quarrel over there. She heard several Taoist priests arguing with each other.
They were actually scrambling to find the place where the spirit stones belonged...
"Humph, our Emei Sect is a great sect since ancient times. We have many disciples who are proficient in magic. The spirit stone should belong to our Emei Sect."
"Bah, Emei Sect, stop relying on your age. In a fight, can you beat my Wudang Sect?"
"Although our sect is unknown, it is not weak!"
The major sects were competing with each other for the meat, and the smaller sects, worried about not being able to get any meat, quickly joined in.
There was a chaos at the scene. Wan Shufang stretched out her hand and rubbed her brows: "This spiritual stone is really harmful to people."
As soon as she finished speaking, a childish voice exploded in her ears.
"Wow, wow, wow..." I saw a baby who was accidentally pushed to the ground because of the fight between the various factions. His elbow was scratched and bleeding.
Seeing this, Chen Changli flew over, picked up the child from the crowd, and said in a cold tone: "Stop."
He shouted with full force, causing the arguing crowd to stop and stare at him unhappily: "Kid, stop meddling in other people's business."
"You caused this child to be injured, apologize to him." Chen Changli spoke coldly, his aura was so fierce that people subconsciously wanted to obey.
Wan Shufang also came forward, smiling, but what she said was heartbreaking.
"You are all capable people, but you acted like scoundrels, making a scene and hurting a child. You are really bringing shame to your sect."
"If a spirit stone can recognize its master, it won't recognize people like you."
