Chapter 739 [Under the Brocade 35]
"Brother Yang, you know me. The person I like has always been Xie Xiao. I don't blame him for running away from the marriage before." Shangguan Xi looked at Yang Yue with a firm face and said softly.
Yang Yue took a deep breath, stared at Shangguan Xi with burning eyes, and slowly said: "I know, Miss Shangguan, I understand that this feeling may be just my wishful thinking, but I still want you to know that my love for you has been around for a long time and has never changed. If one day, your feelings for Xie Xiao are no longer the same as before, can you please turn your eyes to me for a little while? Even if it's only for a moment."
Shangguan Xi was embarrassed, and shook his head gently, saying softly: "Brother Yang, this is really unfair to you. I know very well that I am not someone you can trust your whole life to, so I hope you don't waste too much time and energy on me."
Yang Yue smiled slightly, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, but he still responded calmly: "It's okay, if what I said just now bothers you, then just pretend that I didn't say these words today."
Shangguan Xi's heart was filled with gratitude, and he sincerely said, "Thank you, Brother Yang."
During this period, Yang Chengwan's leg injury has recovered very well after a period of recuperation, and everyone is sincerely happy about it.
However, just as everyone was immersed in joy, a doctor hurried over and brought shocking news - a seriously injured member of the Wu'an Gang was sent to the clinic.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Jinxia, Youyou and Lu Yi did not dare to delay for even a second and rushed over to check on the injured.
The wounded man was as pale as paper, with a weak breath. He endured the severe pain and told Xie Xiao incoherently: "It was... the Japanese who did it! They attacked us for no reason, and our brothers suffered heavy casualties!"
Yuan Jinxia was furious when she heard this. She could never have imagined that this group of brutal Japanese pirates would appear here and hurt innocent people so unscrupulously.
After the injured person used up his last bit of strength to speak, his head tilted and he was completely dead. Xie Xiao looked at the lifeless injured person in front of him, his heart was filled with grief, his eyes instantly turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes.
On the other side, Yuan Jinxia quickly stepped forward and carefully examined the wounds on the deceased's body. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her expression was focused, not missing any details.
At this moment, Xie Xiao, who was standing next to him, started to make a fuss and kept muttering: "Oh no! What should I do? How could this happen?" His panicked look made Lu Yi, who was always calm and composed, speechless.
After checking, Youyou and Yuan Jinxia both keenly discovered that the wound did not seem to be caused by a common blunt object.
They looked at each other, and a thought flashed through their minds at the same time - it was rumored that there was a mysterious ninjutsu in Dongying that could leave such special wounds when killing people. The murderer must have used this strange ninjutsu.
Thinking of this, Xie Xiao was so angry that he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
Without any hesitation, the four decided to go to the scene of the crime immediately - the dense reeds, to look for more clues.
Along the way, Yuan Jinxia and Xie Xiao would bicker with each other from time to time, and it was very lively.
However, just as the two were arguing, there was suddenly a noisy sound of Japanese people playing in front of them.
The four people's faces changed, they hurriedly stopped, and carefully hid aside to observe the situation.
I saw a group of Japanese pirates walking towards me in a swaggering manner. They were carrying large and small bags filled with all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, which were obviously what they had just robbed.
These pirates all had ferocious faces and fierce eyes, which made people shudder. Perhaps sensing that something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere, one of the pirates looked around vigilantly and signaled his companions to be on high alert.
Seeing this, Lu Yi, Yuan Jinxia and the other four also silently took out their weapons from their arms and prepared for battle. Several people used the tall reeds as cover and quietly approached the Japanese pirates. Just as the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, the Japanese pirates took the lead and shot several hidden weapons in the direction of Lu Yi and others.
In a flash, Lu Yi dodged the attack of the hidden weapon and swung his sword back, knocking the hidden weapon back. A few screams were heard, and several Japanese pirates were hit by the hidden weapon he shot and fell to the ground injured.
The other Japanese pirates were so frightened upon seeing this that they turned around and fled.
Yuan Jinxia, Youyou, Lu Yi and Xie Xiao split up into four groups and launched a pursuit operation. They were agile and quick as the wind, and they easily knocked down the enemies one by one, and no one could escape.
At this time, Yuan Jinxia's sharp eyes fell on a Japanese man. She quickly stepped forward and unexpectedly found a token engraved with a mysterious pattern on his body. Just as Yuan Jinxia was about to question him further, something unexpected happened - the Japanese men died one after another, and in a flash, only the last one was left alive.
The survivor was terrified when he saw this, and begged for mercy in unfamiliar Chinese: "Please spare my life! I am just an ordinary fisherman in the village. My name is Wang Mazi. These Japanese people forced me to be their interpreter!" However, from beginning to end, Lu Yi remained silent, quietly observing the movements around him.
Suddenly, Lu Yi raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said in a low voice: "Someone is coming."
Sure enough, after a while, Lu Yi and You You noticed that a group of Japanese pirates were quietly passing by. Seeing the large number of Japanese pirates in front of them, everyone was shocked. The local government had never noticed such a large group of Japanese pirates.
At this moment, taking advantage of Xie Xiao's distraction, Wang Mazi seized the opportunity and ran away. However, Lu Yi and Youyou ignored his escape behavior, but looked at each other and tacitly decided to quietly follow the group of pirates and go to their lair to find out.
