Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1012 - 605: Yang Su
The two knives were deflected, one lunged forward with a flying kick, the other launched a thunderous sword thrust.
Bang! Bang!
The two men were pushed back.
Incredible! How can such a small Yuhang County City have people with such impressive skills?
The remaining masters from Dali Temple were in shock.
Yuchi Zheng raised his eyes, with a cold gleam in them, twisting his palm, a ball of Inner Strength gathered upon it, leaping up, the wind from his palm grasping! Boom!
Fu Zhuo was immediately struck and sent flying!
One leap over the railing, soaring over the lake surface....
At that moment, Yuchi Zheng was already filled with killing intent, naturally, he couldn’t let that person flee into the water. He pursued, shooting through the air, his hand extending like an eagle’s claw towards Fu Zhuo’s heart...
At that critical juncture.
Crash!
The sudden sound from beneath the lake caused the ever-alert Yuchi Zheng to immediately retract his move, with a swift flash landing on top of the pavilion.
At that moment, boom!
A black bag was directly thrown out from the lake surface.
Fu Zhuo took advantage and caught the bag, stepping on the water and leaping onto the ground of the residence.
The people from Dali Temple all surrounded Fu Zhuo, landing around her, ready to strike. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
While Yuchi Zheng just stared at the lake surface...
In the dead silence.
Crash, Sui Yi emerged from the water, before her soaked figure was exposed, an outer robe had already fallen on her, tied tight, she looked at the people in front of her, her gaze falling on the official attire they wore.
From a historical perspective, the attire of this world is much more visually appealing and diverse than what is recorded in history.
It was more like the ancient costumes in TV dramas.
"Breaking into private property without permission, isn’t there a law in the Great Sui Dynasty that states a search warrant is needed?"
Sui Yi’s sudden appearance left everyone stunned.
The people from Dali Temple all frowned, and Yuchi Zheng had already descended, coldly gazing at Sui Yi, as if scrutinizing her, or perhaps doubting something...
Finally, with a stern face, he said, "We are sent by Dali Temple to investigate a case, we have special privileges, and yet you suddenly appear from underwater, I wonder if..."
At this moment, Fu Zhuo untied the red rope.
The mouth of the burlap sack opened, she glanced just once and her face turned fierce, and naturally, the other people from Dali Temple saw it too, and their faces changed dramatically, "Bones! And human skin! My lord..."
Yuchi Zheng also frowned, looking at Sui Yi: "Did you find this underwater?"
He didn’t suspect this person of being the murderer.
After all, they had already investigated before coming; they were not those brainless Jianghu brutes.
If she’s not the murderer, perhaps she’s also here to solve the case like Fu Zhuo?
"While I was underwater, I encountered someone who launched a surprise attack, a woman skilled in assassination, petite in stature, capable of the Bone Shrinking Skill, and she lives nearby, her throat was injured, if you check the neighboring place now, you may still find some clues."
Upon hearing Sui Yi’s words, Yuchi Zheng’s face immediately turned cold, "Go!"
Swish, swish!
All masters from Dali Temple rushed towards Li Ling’s and another person’s residence.
The house suddenly erupted with sounds of fierce battle, and during the commotion, Sui Yi had already walked into the residence.
As soon as she entered the residence, she heard many doors of nearby houses opening.
Were they startled by the fight?
No, they all looked towards the lake.
Sui Yi also turned her head to look at the lake.
On the lake, huge ships were slowly approaching.
Each of their sails bore an emblem.
Xiao Guo Army!
In this world, there was only one person capable of commanding the Xiao Guo Army.
And the badge on that military flag, isn’t it the insignia of the Yuwen Family?
To brazenly inscribe the family crest on the national military flag like this, it’s evident that Emperor Yang of Sui’s reign is truly in its twilight, no wonder Fu Zhuo said chaos in the world is soon to arise.
But why are the Xiao Guo Army here?
Yuchi Zheng’s face suddenly grew sour, while Fu Zhuo’s expression was stern.
Sui Yi leaned against the wall, lost in thought.
Dali Temple, Yuwen Huaji.
What secrets does this residence hold?
She entered an inner room, changed her clothes, yet heard the sounds coming from the adjacent Li Ling’s room, then the noises died down.
The sound of boats gliding across the water also paused for a moment.
A distant booming sound was heard.
And a voice transmitted through Inner Strength.
"General Yuwen is here, we have detected numerous rebels hiding here, we have come to seize them, those not involved, retreat!"
The voice rang like a copper bell.
Inner Strength as vast as a rainbow!
A-grade King’s strength.
Sui Yi had just put on a clean outer robe, looking out the window, that huge ship seemed right outside the window, as the view zoomed in, a man standing at the bow leaped into view.
It wasn’t him transmitting the voice.
But everyone obeyed him.
Because this man was Yuwen Huaji.
A figure capable of wielding unrivaled power within the current Sui Dynasty.
This person appeared to be in his thirties, looking rather young, his skin was a wheatish color from years of martial practice and campaigns, his figure tall and sturdy, with handsome features, sharp eyes, exhibiting an air of ambition and authority.
His strength was formidable.
For there was not the slightest sensation of being shocked by Inner Strength under the transmission of that King’s voice behind him.
S-level, probably.
Sui Yi turned away.
Masters abound.
Somewhat troubling.
He intends to kill everyone here!
Sui Yi was just about to summon Demon Que, when he heard Yuchi Zheng’s voice outside.
"General Yuwen, I am not sure about any rebels here, but under imperial command, I am here to investigate a murder case, by doing this, you might be breaching the law."
"Imperial command?"
Yuwen Huaji spoke, his voice somewhat chilly, seemingly with a hint of laughter.
"Isn’t Dali Temple under Yang Su? Now that Yang Su is dead, are you all getting anxious..."
"In such a hurry, are you looking for something?"
"This Duke Zheng, a key strategist of Yang Su, disappeared after Yang Su’s death, but he was always skilled in secret arts, had studied the Xuanmen of disguise, turns out he disguised himself as a merchant..... yet we don’t know who silenced him."
"Could it be... you in Dali Temple?"
Yuwen Huaji’s words tore apart the hidden secrets behind this murder case, also signifying his intention to kill everyone involved here.
At this moment, however, Sui Yi was not in a hurry, for she suddenly realized something.
The secret arts, Xuanmen of disguise?
She glanced around the residence...
Undoubtedly, this house had been thoroughly ransacked, completely overturned.
Yet there was no trace of any Xuanmen mechanisms.
If Zheng Long really lived here for many years and with his whole family occupying it, it would be impossible not to incorporate his own nest with enhanced security, keeping his privacy, unless...
This wasn’t his real home.
Or Zheng Long wasn’t who he appeared to be!
Once she understood this point, Sui Yi knew this residence held no value, and all the people lurking nearby were being played!
Now, they even had to face Yuwen Huaji’s Valiant Fruit Army!
And just then.
Many archers emerged on the large ships of the Xiao Guo Army.
Longbows were notched with arrows, tips aiming at a row of houses along the lake shore.
Sui Yi had no doubt that the arrows shot by the archers of this world could pierce through these decimeter-thick wooden boards.
And there were archers fully equipped on the lake.
In fact, a large number of masters were already lying in ambush on the streets outside.
A hopeless situation! (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com) and support me with your votes and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. For mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
