Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 508 Murong Fu's Death

To the people of Mantuo Villa, the so-called 'young cousin' is Murong Fu.

"Murong Fu is dead?!"

Everyone in the room was stunned.

A-Bi's face turned pale, and she seemed to be stunned by fear.

Even Li Qingluo, who usually never had a good face towards Murong Fu, was surprised at this moment: "What is going on? Explain it to me in detail!"

She has always looked down upon the Murong family's efforts to restore their country. After all, they failed to even keep it a secret.

As for Murong Fu, he was even more of a waste in her eyes.

Although he is already in his thirties, he is still not good at either literature or martial arts, and has accomplished nothing. Moreover, he has high expectations but poor skills, has ambitions but no strength, does not understand strategies, military tactics, or how to win people's hearts. Even the affairs of the underworld are handled in a mess.

What else can a person like this be but trash?
But Murong Fu was, after all, a relative and acquaintance of Mantuo Villa, and he had bewitched her daughter. Now he died suddenly, and Li Qingluo still felt somewhat concerned.

The maid who came to report was relieved when she saw that Li Qingluo didn't say that she would be turned into fertilizer for the flowers. She said truthfully, "Yes... it was Master Deng from Yanziwu who sent someone here. He left in a hurry after telling me about this matter, but he didn't tell me the details."

Uncle Deng...is Murong Fu’s confidant, Deng Baichuan?

Ah Bi stepped forward and said with trembling lips: "Master Duan, Master Lu, I have to go back quickly to see...see what's going on..."

Seeing that cold sweat was pouring down her forehead and her face was as pale as if it had lost all its color, Lu Ping immediately looked at Duan Yu and they both nodded, understanding what she was thinking.

"Madam Wang, it seems we have to leave today. Duan Yu will come visit us another day."

After saying that, without waiting for a response, the three of them turned and left.

At the moment, Li Qingluo was in no mood to blame them for their impoliteness, nor did she intend to keep them, so she did not say anything. She just turned to the maid and said, "Go and call Madam Yan."

"Yes."

The maid left, and soon Madam Yan came in.

Li Qingluo told him about Murong Fu's death and instructed him, "Go to Yanziwu and see what happened. Then come back and report to me."

"Also, don't let Yuyan know about this for now."

"Yes, ma'am."

On this side, Lu Ping and the other two left Mantuo Villa.

A Bi still wanted to find the person who delivered the message and ask him what happened, but he had already left. How could she find him?
So the three of them had to go back the same way they came.

Lu Ping clearly felt that A Bi's rowing movements were much more flustered than when she came, and the more flustered she was, the more chaotic she became, the busier she became, and the busier she became, the more mistakes she made.

A-Bi has lived in the Murong family since she was a child, and was Murong Fu's personal maid. Now that she has learned that Murong Fu has died suddenly, it would be strange if she is not panicked.

But she grew up here after all, and even though she was panicking and busy, the boat under her was still sailing steadily towards Yanziwu.

The boat was speeding, completely different from the leisurely pace when we came.

Along the way, Duan Yu kept saying words of comfort, saying things like 'maybe the news was wrong' and 'things may not be that bad'.

Ah Bi nodded in response from time to time. Duan Yu knew that she was worried about Murong Fu's condition, so he did not blame her. He just gradually calmed down.

Looking at A-Bi's appearance, Duan Yu suddenly felt a trace of empathetic sadness in his heart, but he was thinking in his mind: Master Murong's strength is considered a master in the world, and I wonder who can kill him?

Then I thought: Master Murong died, and even a maid like A-Bi was so excited. I wonder how sad my sister, who loved him so much, would be if she knew about this...

The water distance from Mantuo Villa to Chanhe Villa is quite long. Thanks to A-Bi's skilled rowing skills and Lu Ping's secret use of internal force to speed up the journey, they finally arrived at Chanhe Villa that evening.

When Lu Ping and others arrived at Chanhe Village, they found that white cloth had been hung inside and outside the village.

"Master?!"

The moment she saw the white cloth, A-Bi couldn't hold back any longer. She screamed and rushed in regardless of anything.

Lu Ping and Duan Yu were afraid that she would be upset, so they hurried to catch up with her.

After entering the village, I saw a large group of gangsters.

These people originally came to settle accounts with Murong Fu because of the deaths of their relatives and friends, but now that Murong Fu died suddenly, they obviously had no idea what to do. Three or five of them gathered in a corner of the manor, whispering.

"He was fine, why did Murong Fu die?"

"Could it be that he saw the situation was getting bad and faked his death to get away?"

"I have already checked the body with several of my friends in Jianghu, and it is definitely Murong Fu." "If you don't believe me, Murong Fu's body is now in the lobby, you can go and see for yourself!"

"So, Murong Fu is really dead?"

"It is indeed true... I heard that his father Murong Bo also died inexplicably. Could it be that the Murong family has some hereditary disease?"

"We are here to seek justice for our deceased relatives and friends. Now that Murong Fu is dead, who should we turn to for revenge?"

"Hey... just assume that he has paid the price. What else can you do? Do you really want to rely on your numbers to bully an old lady whose husband and son have died? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the underworld if you tell others about it?"

"That's wrong! Although Murong Fu is dead, the Murong family's unique skills..."

"Shut up, I wouldn't do anything like that!"

Lu Ping and Duan Yu walked past the talking crowd and entered the hall, or should we say the mourning hall, where they saw white cloth, coffins, memorial tablets, white chrysanthemums, and everything else.

A-Bi was kneeling beside Murong Fu's coffin and crying bitterly.

It seemed that Murong Fu was really dead, and he was not the only one who died. There were also three of his close confidants, Gongye Qian, Bao Bu Tong, and Feng Bo'e.

The four coffins were neatly placed in the mourning hall.

As for Murong Fu's last retainer, Deng Baichuan, he was also in the mourning hall at this moment, kneeling in front of the coffins of his master and several brothers.

Although he was alive, his condition was not very good. Not only was his left arm broken, but he also had several wounds bandaged on his body, and it seemed that he had suffered extremely serious injuries.

Deng Baichuan hung his head and said nothing.

Even A-Bi's arrival did not cause him any disturbance.

Or maybe he felt that he couldn't face A-Bi at the moment, so he lowered his head even lower.

Lu Ping walked to Deng Baichuan's side and saw that he looked depressed, his eyes were dull, his beard was untidy, and he looked completely hopeless.

Ah Bi cried for a long time, then she raised her head and turned to Deng Baichuan, saying, "Brother Deng, what's going on?"

"By the way, what about Ah Zhu?"

Hearing A-Bi's question, Deng Baichuan trembled all over.

After a long while, he finally told the whole story in a disjointed manner.

It turned out that day on Liangshan, Murong Fu learned that Chai Jin had colluded with the Liangshan bandits with the intention of training private soldiers, and even that he was the mastermind behind the two attempts to harm him. He became more and more angry the more he thought about it.

Murong Fu knew better than anyone that even though he and Chai Jin both harbored evil intentions, they were different after all. The biggest difference was their backgrounds and bloodlines.

After all, Chai Jin is a Han Chinese, while he is a Xianbei Chinese.

The underworld and the imperial court could allow the Han people to revolt, support bandits, raise troops, and rebel against the Song Dynasty, but they could not tolerate a descendant of the Xianbei people to do anything similar.

Coupled with the change in attitude of the Northern Beggars' Sect towards Qiao Feng not long ago, Murong Fu became more determined to hide his background.

But his life experience was known to Chai Jin.

In this way, even if the two parties cooperate in the future, I will definitely be controlled by the other party.

Thinking of this, Murong Fu felt that this person must be eliminated, otherwise there would be endless troubles. Instead of waiting until the future to be passive, it is better to take action now.

So as soon as he left Liangshan, Murong Fu changed his mind and headed north, wanting to seek revenge on Chai Jin.

Deng Baichuan and others did not think there was anything wrong with Murong Fu's ideas and actions, so they just followed them.

The group carefully planned and arranged an assassination.

However, they did not expect that Chai Jin had a group of heavily armored crossbowmen in his mansion, and that day he also hosted a banquet for martial arts masters in his mansion. As a result, several people failed to assassinate him and were killed instead.

First, Gongye Qian and his two companions were killed by crossbows while they were left behind.

Later, while on the run, Ah Zhu took the initiative to disguise herself as Murong Fu to divert the pursuers and buy time for Murong Fu and Deng Baichuan to escape.

This idea worked, but not greatly, as the two were eventually caught up by the martial arts master who was a guest at Chai's house that day.

After Murong Fu was killed, the other party saw that Deng Baichuan was loyal, so they only cut off one of his arms and let him collect the bodies of the rest.

As for Ah Zhu, after helping Murong Fu divert the pursuers, there has been no news of her and her life or death is still unknown.
