Have You Met My Brother?[Comprehensive Martial Arts + Sword Three] Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Letter from the Beggars [Inverted v] Yan Bugui: There is news!…

When Lu Xiaofeng returned to the small building where the Snake King was empty-handed, she was shocked to find that the Snake King had been strangled to death by a bright red ribbon.So he originally wanted to ask more about Gongsun Lan, but he had to endure his sadness and hurried to meet Jin Jiuling.

When the former six-door arrester saw Lu Xiaofeng’s ugly face, his eyes couldn’t help but look strange, and he took the initiative to ask: “I heard that you seemed to have encountered some trouble on the street… You said before that you were going to meet the woman who might be the embroidery thief. Now it seems that the situation is not optimistic?”

Just after Lu Xiaofeng heard about Gongsun Lan’s appointment in the West Garden from the Snake King, Lu Xiaofeng and Jin Jiuling met once because of Xue Bing’s whereabouts, and deduced that the “embroidery thief” they were looking for might be a woman who was good at disguise. Gongsun Lan, who had various identities, was a serious suspicion!

In order to prevent too many people from going to the West Garden Party to alert Gongsun Lan, Jin Jiuling did not act together with Lu Xiaofeng.However, people under Jin Jiuling reported some situations to him. They knew that a murder seemed to have occurred on the streets near Xiyuan, and there was a dispute between Jianghu people. Lu Xiaofeng appeared briefly, but he did not know the more specific details.

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head: “Things are not just pessimistic… We will discuss this matter later. Now I come to you for another matter.”

Jin Jiuling was not too concerned about Lu Xiaofeng’s betrayal. He asked directly: “What is it?”

“Help me find an experienced co-worker.” Lu Xiaofeng’s voice was a little low, “I need to determine roughly when the Snake King was killed.”

Jin Jiuling suddenly looked very surprised: “The Snake King is dead? When did it happen? Who killed him?”

Lu Xiaofeng sighed: “I just found out, so I’m asking for your help in determining the time of his death.” As for who exactly the Snake King was strangled to death, he was not sure yet, so he remained silent on this point.

Now, some time had passed since the sparring match between Yan Bugui and Yang Guo, and the night was so dark that there were almost no pedestrians on the road doing night activities.Recalling the scene of saying goodbye to Yang Guo and Yan Bugui, Lu Xiaofeng’s thoughts could not help but drift away slightly——

After the competition, the swordsman seemed to be satisfied with the fight with Yang Guo. He did not continue to ask for a few moves with the divine eagle. Instead, in accordance with the previous agreement with Yang Guo, he honestly explained the disputes between him and Gongsun Lan.

Among them, he had seen Gongsun Lan disguised as an old woman some time ago and sold poisoned sugar-roasted chestnuts to a group of escorts, poisoning them all. He happened to see this nearby and accidentally fought with him, but he let the other party run away at that time, and he did not expect to run into him again today.

“…That’s what happened. I recognized her as the person who poisoned me, so I went to see if the candied roasted chestnut stall she opened was also poisoned. She must have remembered me, so she sold me the poisoned chestnuts. Since her murderous intention was no longer concealed, I simply killed her.”

Yan Bugui is very calm. He has never been one to be merciful and forgiving. When faced with malicious enemies, if he can eradicate them, he will not leave too many troubles for himself.As for what Lu Xiaofeng and Yang Guo muttered about “Grandma Xiong” after learning about this incident, he didn’t know whether the other party was it, so he didn’t say much.

At this time, Lu Xiaofeng also talked to Yang Guo about the case of the Embroidery Thief, about the West Garden where he was supposed to go on behalf of the Snake King at Gong Sun Lan’s invitation, and about Xue Bing’s disappearance…

Yang Guo pondered for a moment and then replied: “There is still some time before the agreement with my wife. I can stay and help you find Miss Xue’s whereabouts. But in this place, the power of the Snake King is much easier to use than me alone. If he can’t find anyone despite all his men, if we don’t have clues, we may be looking for a needle in a haystack.”

Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and shook his head: “I originally thought that if Gongsun Lan was the embroidery thief, I might have a chance to find out Xue Bing’s whereabouts from her. But…”

Regarding the fact that he unintentionally ruined someone’s plan, Yan Bugui’s conscience didn’t feel any pain at all, but out of the chivalrous spirit of helping if he could, he tilted his head and said, “I’m looking for someone anyway, and I’ll help you keep an eye on that girl – what’s her clothing and appearance like? Do you have a portrait?”

Yang Guo looked at the swordsman: “Are you looking for someone too?”

Yan Bugui skillfully took out several portraits from his arms, and the first ones displayed were the portraits of Xie Donghai and Liu Yuan: “I am separated from my two brothers. I wonder if you have seen them?”

Yang Guo and Lu Xiaofeng looked at the portraits and shook their heads one after another.Yan Bugui didn’t feel disappointed either. He changed the positions of the portraits and showed Bai Renyu and Xue Ling: “These are my parrots and sea eagles. Have you seen them?”

Not to mention that Lu Xiaofeng didn’t expect the swordsman to draw not only people but also birds. His face became a little strange and he shook his head again. Yang Guo was slightly surprised: “So you also raised a big eagle. No wonder you pay so much attention to brother eagle… It’s a pity, I have never seen it.”

Yan Bugui nodded: “I saw that the big eagle next to you is as magical as my Xue Ling, and may also be able to assist in combat. I was itching for a while, so I took the liberty to invite you. Please don’t think that I am deliberately provocative.”

Hearing this, Yang Guo suddenly said “Hey”: “At least you will ask for my opinion first. If it were anyone else, I’m afraid they would take action without saying a word, leaving no chance for other options.”

Seeing that there were signs that Yang Guo and Yan Bugui were not acquainted with each other, Lu Xiaofeng no longer worried that the two people would suddenly engage in a life-and-death battle. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye: “Brother Yang, I plan to go back and discuss Gongsun Lan’s matter with the Snake King and Jin Jiuling first.”

Yang Guo pointed to the corpse: “What are you going to do with this corpse? Take it back to the city?”

“Bury it here first.” But as soon as he said the words, Lu Xiaofeng noticed that he didn’t have anything in his hand at all, and suddenly hissed with a headache, “Would you please help me look after it for a while while I go find a shovel to dig a hole?”

In order to help others to the end, Yan Bugui blinked and immediately drew his sword out of its sheath: “Why go to all the trouble of digging with a shovel? If you want a hole, just blast it open.”

After finishing speaking, the surging internal energy clung to the shimmering blade of the sword. The swordsman held the sword in both hands, and several sharp sword energy exploded toward the same open space.When the smoke and dust dissipated, there was a pit about eight feet long, three feet wide, and two feet deep!

Seeing this, Yang Guo exclaimed: “What a profound inner strength, what a subtle control!”

Lu Xiaofeng, on the other hand, twitched the corner of her mouth, resisted the desire to complain, and put the entire corpse into the pit.And before he could ask how to bury it, Yang Guo took the initiative and said, “Let me try it next.”

As he spoke, Yang Guo also mobilized his internal energy. The soil, dead branches and leaves that had been blown away by Yan Bugui’s sword energy gathered on top of the pit from slow to fast under his tug.The divine eagle on the side also seemed to find it interesting. His head tilted left and right, and he flapped his wings excitedly, sending more soil towards Yang Guo to accelerate his pulling.

The absorbed soil branches and leaves rotated under Yang Guo’s control to form a sphere hanging in the air. When he felt it was enough, Yang Guo immediately released his internal force, and the loose mud ball immediately fell down, filling the pit with a loud bang – the only problem was that if someone else passed by, he could tell at a glance that someone had disturbed the soil here and might have buried something.

Lu Xiaofeng couldn’t care so much, and the conditions were like this, so he had to make do with it.He made some marks here that only he could recognize, then said goodbye to the two of them, and hurried back to the city to find the Snake King.

.

After Lu Xiaofeng left, Yang Guo and Yan Bugui exchanged each other’s names and temporary destination, and then politely said goodbye to each other.When Lu Xiaofeng was looking for Jin Jiuling to get a widow for the Snake King’s autopsy, Yan Bugui had already followed the increasingly sparse Wanjia lights back to the city, and took a lot of wrong detours before finding his original inn.

In the warm and bright candlelight, the swordsman who had taken off his hat was sitting at the table and looking up at the feathers in his hands – these were the feathers that Yang Guo’s “Brother Eagle” had fallen off. Before saying goodbye, he deliberately picked two of them on the ground. One he kept as a souvenir, and the other he planned to send to Guo Xiang.

He did what he thought of, and Yan Bugui spread out the letter paper and roughly recorded his encounter with the “Condor Hero” today, from Yang Guo’s appearance to the sparring.At dawn tomorrow, he would send the letter mixed with feathers to Guo Xiang through the beggar gang’s stronghold – the girl promised to help him find someone, and he should reciprocate the courtesy.

The next day, Yan Bugui, who had a habit of practicing swordsmanship early, returned to the inn to have breakfast, and spent some time to find the nearest Beggar Clan stronghold. It is not without reason that the Beggar Clan claims to be the best gang in the world and the force with the largest number of gangs. At least it is true that they can find their stronghold in every big city.

After the swordsman showed the token given to him by Guo Xiang, the people in the stronghold were stunned. The other party did not take the letter immediately, but asked to confirm: “Young hero is Yan Bugui Yan Shaoxia? The Yan Shaoxia of the Sword Sect?”

Yan Bugui felt a little strange, but still nodded: “It is indeed me.”

The Beggar Gang disciple said “Please wait a moment”, then ran to the back and pulled out a thick letter and handed it to the swordsman: “Shaoxia Yan, Miss Guo Er asked us to tell you that there is news about one of the brothers you are looking for – he is in the capital now. If you are interested in contacting him, our Beggar Gang will help you get in touch with him.”

What?Such news was so unexpected that Yan Bugui’s pupils could not help but shrink slightly. For a moment, his mind went blank with surprise. It took him a while to find his voice, and he almost forgot to take the letter from the disciple of the Beggar Clan: “Found it? Who is it? Is he injured?”

Seeing him asking so excitedly, the disciples of the Beggar Clan didn’t mind too much, and patiently replied: “The news was first transmitted from the capital to the general manager, and then Ms. Guo Er sent copies to various strongholds. Please inform us of the matter if we meet you – all the events are recorded here.” After saying that, he handed over the envelope in his hand again.

“…Thank you very much.” Yan Bugui took a deep breath, took the envelope, and then took out some broken silver, “I’m sorry for bothering you, but please be careful and treat everyone to a few jars of wine.”

The Beggar Clan disciple’s eyes lit up and he did not refuse. While gathering up the pieces of silver, he also accepted the letter from Yan Bugui: “No trouble, no trouble – hey, thank you so much, Young Master Yan! We will send this letter to Miss Guo in its entirety, Young Master Yan.”

Yan Bugui said his thanks again: “I would also like you to convey a thank you to Miss Guo Er for me.”

The Beggar Clan disciples readily agreed.

After that, Yan Bugui did not continue wandering around, and quickly returned to the inn room, solemnly opened the envelope, and began to read the details. The first sentence that came to his mind was – the swordsman Liu Yuan invited Su Mengzhen, the owner of the Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building, to the capital. They tied. After the war, the two talked happily…
