Chapter 88 Murder

Chu Xian was going to catch up with Butler Guo and ask some more questions. He also needed to confirm one thing. He had vaguely smelled a special smell when he saw Butler Guo before.

The smell of herbs.

Others might not care about it, but Chu Xian is different, because the mother died of illness in the dream, let Chu Xian study medical skills, and he is proficient in medicine, which can be called a master level.

Just like when a cripple meets a cripple when going out, and a pregnant woman goes out to see a pregnant woman, it doesn’t mean that there are more cripples and pregnant women than usual. There are always these two kinds of people, and it depends on whether you pay attention and pay attention to them.

The same is true for the smell of medicine. If it is not a doctor, a drug dealer, or a patient, even if they smell it, they will probably not care about it. But Chu Xian is a person with excellent medical skills, and he noticed it when he first met Steward Guo.

At that time, Chu Xian thought that Butler Guo was old, not in good health, and took normal medicines, but later Chu Xian observed that although Butler Guo was old, he was not in poor spirits, and he didn't seem to be sick.Then, there is only one possibility, this housekeeper Guo also knows medical skills and pharmacology.

Chu Xian has to ask about this in person, because if his previous guess that Wang Yushi was under house arrest is correct, the only one who can do this quietly is the old housekeeper of the Yushi Mansion. Butler Guo is basically responsible. If the other party is a person who is proficient in medical skills and pharmacology, it is easy to poison the food without knowing it.

Chu Xian didn't want to wait any longer for this matter, and he also had an ominous premonition, so he immediately took Qi Chengxiang to chase him out.

On the way, Chu Xian caught up with the servants of Yushifu who were rushing back, but judging from the number of people, there were a lot fewer, except for the lack of some original guards of Yushifu, and the housekeeper Guo was not here.

Chu Xian asked, and several servants said that Steward Guo had left the city with some guards from the Yushifu.

Out of town?

What are you doing out of town at this point in time?
Chu Xian suddenly thought of something, and his heart beat wildly. He hurriedly greeted Qi Chengxiang, and the two speeded up and went straight to the gate of the east city.

Seeing that Chu Xian was in such a hurry, Qi Chengxiang was puzzled, but he still speeded up, and the two arrived at the gate of the city in a short while.

The city gate will be closed after nightfall, leaving only a small gate, and the soldiers guarding the city will have to interrogate those who enter and exit the city gate at this time, but Chu Xian is an official, and once the fish-shaped official talisman is displayed, the soldiers have to let them go immediately.

Chu Xian asked the soldiers guarding the gate, did anyone leave the city just now, and the soldier replied that two quarters ago, the city guard King Dutong took only one guard and a total of two riders out of the city, and a quarter ago, an old man led a few people out of the city. Get out of here.

"not good!"

Chu Xian immediately flattered the horse and ran wildly, Qi Chengxiang couldn't help asking at this moment: "My lord, what happened?"

Chu Xian didn't hide it from Qi Chengxiang, and said, "Qi Daochang, do you remember when Wang Yushi sent Wang Ruoyu away?"

Qi Chengxiang naturally remembered: "It was one month before he was killed."

Chu Xian continued: "The reason why Wang Yushi sent Wang Ruoyu away must have been aware of something. It must be to protect her. In other words, the person who murdered Wang Yushi may also murder Wang Ruoyu. Just now we assumed that Steward Guo was the real murderer behind the scenes. Let me ask you, what is he going to do with someone following Wang Ruoyu out of the city at such a late hour?"

Qi Chengxiang suddenly realized, and secretly thought that Mr. Chu was thoughtful, which he hadn't thought of just now.

The two of them galloped on horseback and ran all the way towards the city guard barracks. It was late at night, only the moonlight illuminated the road, and the surroundings were pitch black. They went out of the city for five miles, and when they arrived at a woodland, they saw the light of torches not far away, and there were even figures shaking. , The sound of fighting.

This time without Chu Xian's greeting, Qi Chengxiang immediately rode forward, then jumped up, pulled out the long knife from his waist in the air, and joined the battle group.

Chu Xian could see clearly that it was Wang Ruoyu and several guards from the Yushifu who were fighting in front of him. Wang Ruoyu's personal guards had already fallen to the ground. In addition, half of the body was actually burnt, and the air was full of burnt smell, obviously dead.

Thinking about it, this personal guard is also desperately guarding Wang Ruoyu, and Wang Ruoyu is extremely dangerous at the moment. She was besieged by several guards of the Yushifu, and she barely resisted the guards of the Yushifu with a long willow knife in her hand. Dangerous.

Not far away, Steward Guo sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by a guard from Yushifu, but Steward Guo closed his eyes tightly, his forehead was covered with sweat, and there was actually a ball of flame floating above his head.

Chu Xian's pupils shrank.

"Fire Control!"

This is a supernatural power of magic. Chu Xian never expected that this old man who was over seventy years old was actually a monk in the state of leaving his body.

In the state of leaving the body, you can practice the art of controlling objects, including wind, fire, thunder and lightning, and various weapons, but most of them can only specialize in one kind, and a few geniuses can practice both, but no one can master them all. The 'Flying Sword Art' is an extremely powerful branch of the Art of Flying Sword. Once you choose to practice the Art of Flying Sword, it will be quite difficult to practice such spells as Fire Control Art.

Wang Ruoyu's personal guards should have died under Guo Steward's fire control technique, and Chu Xian never expected to meet a monk who was out of the body here.

Over there, Wang Ruoyu couldn't hold on any longer. Although she practiced martial arts since she was a child, her cultivation was limited after all. It was her limit to be able to fight against four guards by herself for so long. Fortunately, Qi Chengxiang stepped forward to help in a critical moment. Block the four Yushifu guards.

At this moment, the flame above Guo Guanjia's head ignited.

Chu Xian knew that although Qi Chengxiang was strong, and he was an acquired martial artist who refined his body, but if he kept a distance, it was absolutely impossible for Qi Chengxiang to be an opponent of a cultivator in the Out of Aperture Realm.

Just say that the fire on Steward Guo's head is not something that acquired warriors can resist. No matter how strong your sword skills are, no matter how fierce your fists are, how can you resist the burning flames?
Unless one masters the martial art of "King Kong is not bad", it is absolutely impossible to resist the burning fire.

Although monks in the out-of-body state are strong, their weaknesses are also extremely obvious. Just like at this moment, when Steward Guo casts his spells, because his soul is out of his body and he controls the flames, he can't move himself. You can win.Steward Guo also knew this well, so he left a guard by his side in case of accidents.

Chu Xian originally planned to go forward and attack, not to mention killing Guo Butler, but at least disrupting the other party's spells, but Guo Butler reacted faster, the flames above his head roared, and he rushed towards Wang Ruoyu and Qi Chengxiang over there.

If Chu Xian still stepped forward to attack Steward Guo at this time, Wang Ruoyu and Qi Chengxiang would definitely suffer.

At the critical moment, Chu Xian made a decisive decision, leaped, took out the official talisman, and threw it in the right direction.

In the face of this Yuanshen Fire Control Technique, Chu Xian actually has no way to deal with it. Although he knows many techniques, he can't use them at the moment, but Chu Xian is knowledgeable and understands the weakness of this Yuanshen Fire Control Technique.

In that group of flames, there is Guo Steward's primordial spirit controlling it. As long as that one primordial spirit is dispelled, the technique of controlling fire can be solved naturally. "Uniform", the primordial spirit is invisible and invisible when it comes out of the body, and it is difficult to hurt with a sword, but with an official talisman, it can definitely disperse the primordial spirit.

The timing and position of Chu Xian's throw were all just right. The fish-shaped official talisman penetrated into the fire, as if hitting an invisible object, and there was a strange hissing sound, and the ball of fire scattered in all directions in an instant. Steward Bian Guo's face turned pale immediately, and he opened his eyes with hatred in them.
