C5 Only Murder

Ye Dirong and Wang Meng had been speaking kindly to each other all day, hoping to be able to speak up for him in front of Yun Yang but Wang Meng had not bothered with him at all.

The elder nodded and bowed to one of the tenants. It would be hilarious if word got out, so Ye Dirong could only keep smiling and wait for Ye Yun to come over.

His face was crinkling with laughter, but he couldn't keep twisting his wrinkled face into a flower. He hurried to meet it.

Ye Yun glanced at him and asked Wang Meng, "Why is he here?"

Ye Dirong quickly said, "I came here specifically to watch the Enlightenment Trial. Eldest nephew, you are really amazing. You were invited by the Capital Academy to bring glory to our Ye Family."

Ye Yun said coldly, "Does it have anything to do with you? Who was it that clamored to kick me out of the village yesterday?"

Ye Dirong quickly slapped his face, "I'm too old to recognize Mt. Tai. Don't be angry, eldest nephew. Forgive me for being cousins with your father."

Seeing that Ye Yun did not say anything, he quickly kneeled down and said, "Since you can't write two words in one go, this old man shall call you Eldest Nephew. It is because I was blind that I brought people to your house to cause trouble, I shall never dare to do so again." "How about this, in order to atone for my sins, I will pay for some meat and wine. After returning home, I will hold a great banquet in the village to celebrate the fact that you have passed the Spirit Diagram and became a student of the country, bringing glory to the Ye Family."

Ye Yun thought it would be good to let the old fellow bleed. He had to go to the national academy in the future, but the Wang Family still needed to stay in the village to live. There was no need to make things too awkward, so he agreed with a nod.

Half an hour later, looking at Old Man Ye, who was haggling fiercely with the hawker, he frowned and said softly, "There must be something wrong with this situation."

Even if Ye Dirong had offended him yesterday, he was only using the clan rules as an excuse. He would be done for with just a casual apology, was there a need to be so attentive?

Wang Meng, who had been keeping his head down the whole time, whispered, "When you were in the square, a carriage was parked in the corner and he was standing next to the carriage."

"Whose carriage?" Ye Yun asked.

"He's either rich or noble. He's even more luxurious than the mayor's carriage. He definitely isn't someone from our Sunset Town." Wang Meng replied.

Although he was honest and humble, he was a scout and had served in the front line for many years. He had retired because he was injured, and the military's keen observation skills had remained until now.

Ye Yun Yang understood at once. The old fellow's motive was impure indeed. He must have been assigned by Sun Shiqi to carry out some unspeakable conspiracy.

After a while, the oxcart was filled with all sorts of meat and wine jars. Ye Dirong's pained expression confirmed Ye Yun's guess as he said casually, "Patriarch, it's getting late. I suggest we take the small road, otherwise it'll be hard to get back to the village before nightfall."

Ye Dirong immediately retorted, "No, we have to take the main road!"

Perhaps he had sensed that his reaction was too intense, he hurriedly explained, "The road is bumpy and bumpy. It will be difficult for an old oxcart to walk on it, so I might as well take the road. If it's late, then it's later, it's not that big of a deal."

Ye Yun and Wang Meng could believe that this fellow had a conspiracy in fact. It was very likely that Sun Shiqi had sent someone to ambush them on the road, waiting for them to appear.

"Uncle Wang, what should we do?" he whispered.

"Then let's take the main road. It's no big deal." Wang Meng had a confident look on his face.

Affected by the old soldier's heroic spirit, he nodded and said, "Alright, I was just worrying about not being able to find a chance to take revenge. It's rare for them to voluntarily send themselves to my doorstep."

An hour later, the ox-cart slowly drove out of Sunset Mountain Town and headed for the village of Pagoda trees. The sun was setting in the west, and the land was covered with a layer of gold under the red sun.

Five miles down the slope, Wang Meng turned around and shot a look at Ye Yun, indicating that the bad guys could very well ambush them here.

Ye Yun looked around. It was indeed a good place for an ambush. There was a high ground on the right side of the road and a deep ditch on the left. It was difficult to climb up after falling in.

Along the way, Ye Dirong didn't have anything to say. He just kept saying a few words until he saw 5 Mile Slope. Then, he suddenly stopped talking, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

Four figures jumped down from the high ground and blocked the path of the ox-cart. The man in the lead grinned sinisterly, "You three, you've finally arrived. We've been waiting for a long time."

Ye Yun immediately recognized that it was this man who had given his predecessor a brick and then brought the other three fellows to punch and kick him until he died.

"It really is you." Ye Yun said coldly.

The big man raised an eyebrow, "Brat, I didn't smash you to death with a brick last time. Today, you won't be able to escape even with wings. Bro, let's show you who's boss!"

With that, he pulled out a chain hammer from his back, and the other three followed suit, brandishing their axes and blades. The four of them wore the same fiendish expression.

Seeing this, Ye Dirong quickly revealed his identity, "Four heroes, I am Master Sun's man."

The big man impatiently said, "I know, hurry up and get out of the way. Stop standing there and get in the way. Brothers don't have eyes. If you don't want to die, then scram."

Ye Dirong felt amnesty and quickly got out of the car to run behind, but he did not run far. Instead, he stood dozens of meters away to watch the show and not give up on the things on the ox-cart. When the men were done, he would take the ox-cart with him.

While swinging the chain hammer in his hand, the big man said, "Lame Wang, this has nothing to do with you, but you just caught up with me. In order to not give away Young Master Sun, you have to die."

Wang Meng slowly raised his head and coldly said, "That will depend on whether or not you have the ability to kill me."

"Hahaha!" The large man arrogantly laughed, "I know that you were a soldier before, and I also know that you left the army because of a broken leg. Do you think you're still a scout soldier from back then?

After he finished speaking, he quickly walked forward and swung the chain hammer towards Wang Meng's head.

Wang Meng calmly jumped off the ox-cart and suddenly took two steps forward. Since the other party was unable to stop their charge, the two of them acted extremely arrogantly.

"Bang …"

When the two of them separated, Wang Meng staggered three steps backwards, while the big man stood motionlessly on the spot.

The other three guys started to loudly cheer and mock Wang Meng for overestimating his strength. However, three seconds later, the big man suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, it fell onto the ground with a knife wound on his left chest, quickly spitting out blood.

Then, he looked at Wang Meng. In his right hand, he was holding an ox-eared deboning knife, which was covered in blood.

The three fellows were all stupefied. The boss who was the best at beating was actually defeated by a cripple, and was even killed by the other party in one move. This was simply the biggest joke in the world.

Wang Meng slowly raised his head again and coldly said to the corpse, "Is the Awakening Realm really that great? I'll tell you that I'm at the Form Observation Stage."

After he finished speaking, he rushed towards the remaining three people.

He came home late from work in the fields the day before yesterday, causing Ye Yun to be plotted against. He had always blamed himself for this, so he wanted to kill him.

Even the boss wasn't a match, not to mention the remaining three lackeys.

Ye Dirong had never thought that Wang Meng would be so good at fighting. He had always thought that Wang Meng was a cripple, otherwise how could he be willing to be someone else's tenant.

The situation was not good. When the second person lost Wang Meng's hand, he was so scared that his legs were trembling. Wang Meng definitely wouldn't forgive him. Thinking of this, he turned around and ran.

However, just as he turned around, a knife was placed on his neck. A cold feeling rushed through his skin and into his brain.

It was Ye Yun, holding the horn that Ye Dirong had paid for, smiling as he said, "Elder, where are you going?"

He was so scared that he peed his pants and said, "I …" "I'm not going anywhere. Eldest nephew, can you let go of the blade? It's not a joke."

"You're really not going anywhere and you don't want to report to your master and grandson, Shiqi?" he asked coldly.

"Eldest nephew, I was wrong …" It's Sun Shiqi, he forced me to do this. " Ye Dirong kneeled on the ground and begged for mercy, "If I don't do as he says, he'll kill my entire family. On account of me being your father's brother and your uncle, please spare me this time. I promise I won't ever dare to do that again."

Ye Yun smiled. "Can you really do it? Don't be in a hurry to make a promise, I can spare you, can Sun Shiqi? Under the threat of killing your entire family and the temptation of true gold and silver, do you dare to say that you won't scheme against me like you did in the past? "

Ye Dirong was stunned at first, but immediately said, "I swear I won't hurt you anymore …"

"I'm sorry, but I really don't trust you. Killing your entire family with just a word is enough to make you work so hard. Only after you die can I truly be at ease." As he spoke, he flipped his wrist outward and quickly retreated.

Ye Dirong felt a cold sensation on his neck and reached out to touch it, only to feel the blood on his hand. He quickly used his other hand to cover it, but the blood still spurted out.

This was the first time Ye Yun had killed someone. He had been born in fine arts and had painted the structure of the human body since he was young. He had even come into contact with human anatomy and knew the exact location of the great arteries in the neck.

At the same time as Ye Dirong slowly fell, Wang Meng's side also ended the battle. None of the four survived.

Then, Wang Meng began to deal with the corpses. He tied a rock to the corpse with a rope and threw it into the big ditch on the left. At this time of the summer when it was raining heavily, not only was there water in the ditch but there was also a deep silt.

Ye Yunyang, who had originally thought that this was his first time killing someone, would have an intense reaction. Wang Meng was deeply impressed by his indifference.

Actually, this was not indifference, but acceptance of the fact that one was living in a chaotic world. Here, life was as cheap as a dog, and only the strong were qualified to live.

While helping to dispose of the corpse, he asked, "Uncle Wang, so you are not really disabled."

Wang Meng forced a bitter smile, "I did this out of helplessness. If the military knew that I still have the combat ability, how could they let me retire? Even if I retired, they would order me to re-enlist. I tried to persuade your father to join the army, but he wouldn't listen. "

The two finished dealing with the corpse and continued on their way.

Along the way, they didn't speak.

Ye Yun did not have the joy of revenge, because whether it was Ye Dirong or those four fellows, they were all small fry. The real enemy, Sun Shiqi, was still alive and well.

Not only did Sun Shiqi have a powerful family background, she was also a spirit diagram expert. She was not easy to deal with.

However, he would not shrink back because of this. The person surnamed Sun had hired two murderers to kill him, and he was already at the point of not giving up until one of them died.

If he wanted to defeat his opponent, he had to immediately increase his strength, but right now, he was just a person who had just gained enlightenment and could not even be considered a martial artist. Although he could go to the Imperial Academy in three days, he did not want to waste the precious time right now.
