Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

Zhao Xu said.

At the same time, he handed the hilt of the sword to Qiao Wanwan, who was most familiar with the young master.

"Back then, Xiangyi fought against the swordsman Wuyou, and used the hilt of the sword to block the fatal move and saved Wuyou's life, but the hilt of the sword was not damaged at all." Qiao Wanwan is worthy of being the person who has been with Li Xiangyi the longest, and she can tell the real from the fake at a glance.

"Fake sword?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

"Miss Qiao is very familiar with the young master, so she will naturally not look for the fake sword. It seems that the sword was replaced in Baichuan Courtyard!" After getting the confirmation from Qiao Wanwan, Zhao Xu directly said the most likely guess.

"Follow me to the sword room to investigate!" Ji Hanfo made a prompt decision and led everyone to where the sword was kept.

The sword room is strictly managed, and a sword appreciation competition is about to be held. The young master's sword has been hidden here for three days, and no one has entered or left.

"Another secret room is missing!" When Xiao Yuer saw this scene, he couldn't help but think of the case that the few of them had experienced before.

"Who are you? It's not your turn to speak here!" Xiao Zijin was very angry at this time. Xiao Yuer and Zhao Xu were in the same group. He immediately took advantage of his status and acted arrogantly, venting his anger.

As soon as he said this, Shi Shui and the other three looked strange. Not to mention Zhao Xu, Jiang Xiaoyu was also very famous. As the nephew of Yan Nantian, his status and rank were quite high.

After repeated failures and humiliations today, Xiao Zijin's true nature was revealed.

At this moment, Fang Duobing glared at Xiao Zijin. He had heard of the other party's chivalrous name before and had quite respect for him, but when he met him in person today, he was really disappointed.

This person is just as Brother Zhao analyzed that day, a narrow-minded and hypocritical villain.

Xiao Yuer is his friend. They have worked together to solve many strange cases. Now he wants to stand up and support his friend.

Even Qiao Wanwan felt something was wrong when she looked at Xiao Zijin.

At this moment, most people's eyes are on Zhao Xu, after all, he is the source of the conflict.

"Idiot!" Zhao Xu, who was always polite, uttered "shocking words" at this moment. Without waiting for others to react, his figure disappeared on the spot.

Everyone was in a trance, and Zhao Xu had appeared in front of Xiao Zijin. He condensed his true energy into a big hand, grabbed the other person's neck, and lifted him up.

Xiao Zijin's internal power was completely blocked, and even the connection with the power of heaven and earth was forcibly cut off by a stronger control.

With his toes off the ground and his face flushed, he looked like a clown, unable to struggle.

"You should be grateful that I didn't cause any trouble today. How dare you speak rudely to my friend!" Zhao Xu's voice was cold, and the power in his hands became stronger.

The strength displayed by Zhao Xu in an instant made Ji Hanfo and others realize that the opponent had held back in the previous fight!

"Mr. Zhao, please spare him this time!" Although Qiao Wanwan was a little disappointed, she still stood up to plead for mercy. Fo, Bi, Bai Shi and the other three also followed suit and pleaded for mercy.

"What do you think?" Zhao Xu looked at Xiao Yuer, Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing. As for Di Feisheng, he obviously didn't like being with so many righteous people. No one knew where he had gone.

"You can forgive him this time!" After all, he was an old acquaintance of Si Gumen and Li Lianhua. Although Xiao Yuer disliked him, he still chose to forgive him.

Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing also nodded.

"In that case!" At this moment, Zhao Xu had made up his mind. He threw Xiao Zijin out of the sword room and said calmly:

"Miss Shishui is an acquaintance of mine, Miss Qiao is quite sensible, and Si Gu Men has also made contributions, so I will just punish her lightly and give her a severe warning!"

Outside, Xiao Zijin fell to the ground, feeling so ashamed and angry that she fainted on the spot.

Ji Hanfo and his companions checked and saw that he was only slightly injured, so they breathed a sigh of relief and ordered their disciples to carry him away to recuperate, then returned to the sword room. After all, the young master's sword was the most important thing.

"Brother Zhao, that was really satisfying!" Inside the sword room, Fang Duobing felt very refreshed by Zhao Xu's domineering attack just now.

"Practice hard!" Zhao Xu smiled. Strength is the basis for all actions.

"He is venting his anger for you!" Xiao Yuer said in a low voice, standing beside Li Lianhua.

"Actually, there's no need to do that!" Li Lianhua smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he still felt a little relieved inside. Although he had let it go, everyone would feel uncomfortable with many of Xiao Zijin's actions.

Soon, Ji Hanfo and the other four returned to the sword room. Both sides had a tacit understanding and did not mention what had just happened.

"The sword room has been strictly guarded for the past three days. How could the thieves succeed?" The sword room is so small that Ji Hanfo looked around a few times and was very puzzled.

"The light is darkest, sometimes it's because people are too confident!" Zhao Xu spoke slowly, but his eyes swept over Li Lianhua and Qiao Wanwan.

"What do you mean?" Shi Shui is the person in Baichuan Court who is most familiar with Zhao Xu, except Fang Duobing.

"Please look!" Zhao Xu chuckled, waved his hand, and the true energy surged, moving the stone platform where the sword was placed. A tunnel entrance came into view for everyone.

"typical?"

When they saw the tunnel, Shi Shui and his four companions, who had lived in Baichuan Courtyard for many years, were also surprised.

After finding the clue, everyone immediately entered the tunnel to investigate.

The crowd soon arrived at a transit point where the old and new were clearly distinguished.

"The section leading to the sword room was dug in the past half month. The other old roads have existed for at least ten years!" Shi Shui looked at the tunnel wall, thoughtfully.

Li Lianhua and Qiao Wanwan's expressions changed at this moment.

"Half a month ago, I wrote to Dean Ji and agreed to keep the young master in the sword room." Looking at the new path, Qiao Wanwan's voice was filled with doubt, and then her eyes passed over the old path again, a little sad: "This old path is related to Xiangyi!"

After hearing Qiao Wanwan say that the tunnel was built by the sect leader Li Xiangyi, everyone stopped discussing and continued to move forward.

"Come and see!" After a while, Fang Duobing, who was walking in front, made a discovery.

When everyone saw it, it turned out to be a female corpse.

"Arou!" Qiao Wanwan quickly recognized that this person was her trusted maid Arou.

"The wound is thin and sharp, it must be the Young Master's Sword!" The person in the world who is most familiar with the Young Master's Sword is Li Lianhua.

Soon, everyone found two more sets of shoe prints on the ground.

"The shoe prints are not messy!" Shi Shui said this fact calmly.

At this point the situation was already very clear. Qiao Wanwan found the Young Master's Sword, and her maid had all the information. She conspired with others to switch the sword, and was then killed to silence her.

"A man's footprints and the word love have harmed another woman!" Zhao Xu was a little emotional. The character of Qiao Wanwan's trusted maid could be imagined, and only "love" could make her go astray.

"This kind of homemade straw sandals can only be found in Pudu Temple!" Li Lianhua got a clue as soon as she saw the shape of the man's footprints.

"This person should be the one who arrived at Pudu Temple in the past half month!" Zhao Xu's voice echoed in the tunnel, giving a logical guess.

"There is a crack on this wall!" Shi Shui has been handling cases for many years and is very experienced. After observing the surroundings, he soon found something unusual on the stone wall.

Take action immediately.

"Let me do it!"
