Volume 1 The Butterfly That Can't Fly Over the Sea Chapter 36 Seeking Skin with the Tiger
The sky was bright.
Luo Xiangwu, who had rushed back from the woodland where the temple was being excavated, looked at the young armor soldier who bowed his head and bowed in front of him.
His gaze caught a glimpse of the other party's right arm that had just been bandaged, his face softened slightly, and he said, "Sit down and talk." ”
When Liang Guan heard this, he stood up in a hurry, but he only stood beside Luo Xiangwu and didn't dare to sit down.
Seeing that he was like this, Luo Xiangwu didn't force it, but just poured himself a cup of tea, and then asked slowly: "So, that kid is indeed hiding something strange?"
"Yes. Liang Guan nodded heavily, and then went to Wei Lai's old house to tell a series of encounters. Of course, out of human instinct, he deliberately exaggerated the danger of the whole process to show his astuteness and bravery.
But it's a pity that Luo Xiangwu at this moment doesn't have the heart to study the "power" of his subordinates. He frowned and picked up the teacup, put it to his lips and took a sip, muttering to himself: "According to what you said, that kid's cultivation should not be high, and his combat experience is far from enough. ”
"In that case, the thief who killed Jin Guanyan and the corpse thief who intercepted Xiang Huo and others is someone else. ”
Liang Guan nodded again and again, and said, "That's true." ”
And as soon as he said this, he felt a cold gaze fall on him. He looked up, but saw Luo Xiangwu's eyes narrowed, the cold glint in his eyes flickered, and his gaze was meaningful.
He was excited, and immediately reacted - Jin Guanyan died, the errand of Wupan City was smashed, Lu Guanshan's body was stolen, and there was no progress in excavating the temple. Each of these things is enough for Luo Xiangwu to drink a good pot, count the crimes and punish him, the dismissal investigation is light, and under the anger above, he is even afraid of his life. If Luo Xiangwu wants to live, he must have a scapegoat, and this son of Wei Shou, who has pretended to be crazy and stupid for six years, is obviously the best choice at present.
"Subordinate...... When my subordinates were investigating, the thief had quietly lurked behind me, thinking that there must be some strange method or magical power, if the timing is right, it is not impossible to kill Jin Gongzi and steal the corpse capital. ”
To do things for the imperial court, the most important thing is not to have the ability, but to figure out the intention, if there is no such thought, it is difficult to move an inch in the Great Yan Dynasty. Luo Xiangwu had already revealed his meaning so clearly, Liang Guan naturally had to pave the steps for him.
Sure enough, Luo Xiangwu, who heard this, slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, and nodded solemnly: "After all, it's just your guess, so let's do it, I'll give you a team of people, and you go and arrest that kid for me and have a good trial." ”
Cang Yuwei has the torture that makes people confess their guilt and subjugate the law, Liang Guan understood Luo Xiangwu's thoughts, he nodded heavily and said: "Subordinates receive orders!"
And when he had said this, he turned and departed.
But at this time, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, and a soldier in silver armor walked quickly into the main room, and knelt down in front of Luo Xiangwu with a bang: "Someone outside the mansion asks to see." ”
"Who?" Luo Xiangwu was in a much better mood after solving the current major trouble, he stood up and asked.
The armor's face was different, and after hesitating slightly, he said in a muffled voice, "Wei Lai." ”
......
"I really didn't expect you to take the initiative to come looking for me. Luo Xiangwu dismissed his subordinates in the courtyard according to Wei Lai's request, and talked to Wei Lai alone, of course, he also secretly kept an eye on it, the evacuated Cangyu guards were actually still lurking in the shadows, although they couldn't hear the conversation between the two, but as long as the young man had any transgressions, the fiery feather arrow that could split the golden stone would be killed on his body at the moment when the young man started.
Although the information he got from everywhere showed that Wei Lai did not have the strength to threaten him, there were too many things that Luo Xiangwu did not expect to happen these days, and it would not hurt him to be cautious.
The young man standing in front of him was a little pale, but there was no fear or panic in his expression.
"If I don't come to you, you will come to me, so why bother?" Wei Lai said calmly.
Luo Xiangwu was stunned when he heard this, and then raised his eyebrows: "You are smarter than I imagined." ”
He stretched out his hand to pour Wei Lai a full cup of tea and motioned for the other party to sit down, but saw that Wei Lai ignored it and still stood in place. Luo Xiangwu didn't force it, so he simply drank the cup of tea by himself, and then said: "Then since you have found me, then tell me what you want to do." ”
Speaking of this, he paused intentionally, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and added: "Of course, if you want to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, I think it will be spared, you are so smart, you should know that I will not let you go." ”
"I do want to live, but there are many ways to survive, not necessarily to get down on your knees and beg for mercy. Wei Lai didn't seem to be able to hear the banter in Luo Xiangwu's words, and his tone was still calm.
Luo Xiangwu's eyes narrowed, noncommittal: "Then I want to know more about what your so-called other methods are." ”
"Cooperation. Wei Lai spit out these two words, although he tried his best to put on a calm appearance from the time he saw Luo Xiangwu, but when he said these two words, the subtle but real trills in his tone still revealed the tension in his heart at the moment.
Luo Xiangwu noticed this abnormality, he just raised his glass to drink tea, and no longer took Wei Lai's words, this seemingly ordinary move, but the calm on Wei Lai's face faintly tended to be broken.
Luo Xiang's military officialdom has been up and down for so many years, and he is naturally very skilled in using such skills, and inadvertent silence can often allow one party to gain the initiative in dialogue, allowing the weaker party to throw out as many chips as he holds, and the other party can rely on this to consider the chips he is willing to give.
Obviously, Wei Lai, who was only a few days away from turning sixteen, fell into Luo Xiangwu's calculations as he wished.
The expression on his face froze, and he finally couldn't help but speak again: "Temple!"
"The temple of Guanshan Lance!"
"I know where he is!"
It's just that although Luo Xiangwu's calculation is good, it can't stand the weight of the chips thrown by Wei Lai.
Luo Xiangwu, who had the ticket in his hand, raised the teacup to his lips, trembled slightly the moment he heard Wei Lai's words, and the tea in the teacup was poured and fell on his mouth and fingertips. Of course, this is quite undignified behavior, and it also makes all the aura he had previously operated collapse.
But he was still undecided about this, and at that time he suddenly stood up, his eyes widened, and he stared at Wei Laiyan and said, "Is this true?"
He has indeed done a lot of things these days, but even the life of that Jin Guanyan is not worth mentioning compared to the legacy of the former pilgrim. The battle between the relatives and the princelings represented by the Jin family has long been on the same footing, if he can go to the divine pattern inherited by the holy general and dedicate it to the queen, such a credit Luo Xiangwu can not only be credited, but he will also enjoy endless glory and wealth in the second half of his life.
Wei Lai nodded and said, "Lu Guanshan has taken me there, and I dare not say that it can be accurate, but the deviation will not be too big." ”
The biggest problem with excavating the temple now is that the area where the dense forest collapsed is too vast, and the radius of dozens of miles is a mess, coupled with the recent influx of people from the rivers and lakes, it has made the search for the temple extremely difficult, if Wei Lai is really as he said, then things will become much simpler.
Thinking of this, Luo Xiangwu's heart calmed down, and he sat back in his seat again, his fingers tapping on the desk beside him.
"Why do you think I should take the risk of cooperating with a guy who doesn't know the details? Arrest you and sacrifice you, I can also get out of the way, think that whether it is the identity of your Wei Shou's son, or the fact that you have been pretending to be crazy and stupid for six years, it is enough to make those big people very sensitive, and the truth of those crimes will not matter so much. Luo Xiangwu spoke again after a few breaths of silence.
He thought about this passage for a while, and it was obvious that he had secretly considered the content in his heart.
"Whether it's pretending to be crazy or stupid, or closing the temple of the mountain lance, it's just a way for me to live. ”
Wei Lai's answer came quickly, blurting out almost the moment Luo Xiangwu finished asking this question, and it was not difficult to guess that before coming here, he had expected the other party to have such doubts.
"Lord Luo can get more things from there, and for that alone, I think it should be worth a try, not to mention ......"
As he spoke, Wei Lai stretched out his hand and handed it to Luo Xiangwu: "I don't have any danger to adults......
Luo Xiangwu was stunned for a moment, but soon understood the meaning of Wei Lai's move, and one of his hands immediately stretched out and pressed on Wei Lai's arm, and the energy of the Lingtai Realm gushed out of his body, escaped into Wei Lai's hand, and followed the meridians in his arm, swimming through Wei Lai's whole body.
It was about the future, Luo Xiangwu didn't dare to make the slightest mistake, he checked it so carefully that it was not a difficult thing for him, but it took him a full quarter of an hour to withdraw the arm he pressed on Wei Lai's body.
Wandering in the monk's body with vigor to check the other party's cultivation is currently recognized as the most accurate and effective method in the cultivation world, the world is so big that there are no surprises, but any method of concealing cultivation is destined to be invisible under such a crude method. Wei Lai's move was nothing more than to let Luo Xiangwu settle down, and Luo Xiangwu accepted it calmly.
"Now, my lord is relieved. Wei looked at Luo Xiangwu, who had withdrawn his hand, and asked with squinted eyes.
Luo Xiangwu was silent with a calm brow, he carefully checked it several times, Wei Lai only had one Wuyang Divine Blood in his body, and coupled with the information provided by Sun Bojin before, this only Wuyang Divine Blood was very likely to be brought by the Ming Blood Pill. This kind of cultivation is ugly to say, it is no different from waste, and it will not pose any threat to him.
But for some reason, the more calm Wei Lai was, the more faintly uneasy he felt in his heart.
However, soon, the desire for the inheritance in the temple suppressed that uneasiness, and he looked at Wei Lai with deep eyes and said, "Okay! As long as you take me to the temple, I will not be responsible for everything, without further ado, let's leave tonight!"
He thought about the beginning and end of the matter, Wei Lai's cultivation was there, he couldn't be the murderer of Jin Guanyan, and he didn't have the ability to kill Xiang Huo and others to steal the corpse, besides, he had been in Dayan for so many years, and he had never heard of any method that could deceive the monk's eyes and hide his cultivation after his strength entered the body. He really couldn't imagine that a martial arts realm cultivator could pose even the slightest threat to him, so he made up his mind.
"No, we'll leave in four days. But what Luo Xiangwu didn't expect was that Wei Lai, who was bent on promoting this matter, refuted it at this time.
Luo Xiangwu frowned, and was about to remind Wei Lai to figure out his situation, but before he could say anything, he saw Wei Lai tear off his shirt, revealing a shocking wound on his chest. If he remembered correctly, in Liang Guan's return, he did mention that he stabbed Wei Lai with a sharp blade. Looking at the severity of the wound, it is already the heart, if it is not good to recuperate, he is afraid of his life, although he does not care about Wei Lai's life and death, but he makes the best use of it, and he has to let Wei Lai live until the day when his role is exhausted.
Thinking of this, Luo Xiangwu nodded and replied in a muffled voice: "Okay." ”
