Chapter 303: Li Cheng's suspicions
After listening to Qiu Shaoyu's opinion, Li Cheng pondered for a while, and said rationally: "Although the opinion you said is good, I thought about it carefully, and I think this opinion is not good, this is too risky, this is definitely not their real strength, I have fought with the people of the demon race, I think this is not their real strength at all, or rather, these people are just the lowest unit among the demon people." ”
Qiu Shaoyu scratched his head and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean? Why can't I understand it?"
"What kind of people do you think, what kind of people are usually in the vanguard? It definitely won't be the top figures, right? It's all about preserving combat power, if you show the highest strength at the beginning, then how can you fight?" Li Cheng said.
Hearing this, Qiu Shaoyu understood and suddenly realized: "Oh! I understand what you mean, what you mean is that these people are some little minions of the demon clan, they don't matter, and they don't have any strength, right?"
Over there, after Qiu Shaoyu said this, everyone talked about it and made a noise for a while.
Xu Yu was beside Li Cheng and asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"
Hearing Xu Yu's words, everyone was silent again, and they all looked at Li Cheng, waiting for him to speak, at this time, Li Cheng was like a little leader in their eyes!
Li Cheng thought for a while and said, "I think they may have just been sent to test this place, and the powerful ones are still to come." ”
After a pause, Li Cheng continued: "We can lure out the people behind the scenes!"
Fang Hou, who had never said a word from beginning to end, still did not say anything at this time, watching everyone discuss seriously, as if he was a person who was out of the matter, he was silent.
"Then the matter is settled!" Xu Yu said loudly, Li Cheng didn't have to clash head-on with the demons, it was exactly what he wanted. At this time, she just wants to settle things quickly, so that there are no more variables.
Li Cheng and Qiu Shaoyu both nodded and didn't say anything more.
After Fang Hou hastily echoed the two sentences, he touched the pattern of the cuffs.
"Brother Fang, do you have any unique opinions, why are you so silent?" After Xu Yu quieted down, he noticed that Fang Hou on the other side only smiled faintly.
This unintentional smile is inevitably perfunctory in the eyes of everyone.
Since yesterday, Li Cheng has felt that something is not quite right, and in the process of everyone's discussion today, this person has always looked like he has nothing to do with himself, which is really strange.
With such a long heart in his heart, Li Cheng glanced at Fang Hou with his spare eyes, and at the same time, Fang Hou looked over as if he had a heart for him.
The moment their eyes collided, Lin Zhiyu saw it clearly. After just a few breaths, Fang Hou withdrew his gaze and looked down at the tea leaves floating above the cup.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhiyu's voice fluttered into Li Cheng's ears like cotton wool.
After being stunned for a while, Li Cheng only shook his head, and a thought in his heart took root and gradually deepened with Fang Hou's reaction.
Fang Hou still looked like he didn't know anything, fiddling with his cuffs by himself, like a mirror in his heart, he just wanted to attract everyone's attention. But now it seems that only Li Cheng and Lin Zhiyu have noticed.
Thinking like this, he smiled silently.
"I lost my hand in poisoning that day, I must get rid of those people this time!" Qiu Shaoyu patted his chest and said, his voice slightly raised.
Li Cheng glanced at him and said to himself: "It stands to reason that the demon people shouldn't have discovered the poison in the food so quickly that day, it must have been because you moved too much and were looked at by outsiders." ”
As he said this, he looked at Fang Hou inadvertently, and the guy grinned at him, and there was a flash of murder in his eyes.
With just one look, Li Cheng felt that there was something wrong with this person.
Qiu Shaoyu didn't notice the edge between the two, and replied with a big grin: "I don't know which troublesome person saw it, if you let me poison again, I will be careful and alert!"
When he said the last two sentences, he showed a look of indignation, but he didn't know that the "troubled man" in his mouth was beside him.
"Have you ever thought about it," Li Cheng deliberately paused, pretending to speak mysteriously: "The failure of the matter is not the work of outsiders. ”
Everyone was a little chilled by his words, for fear that they would be suspected, and they began to tell everything they had done recently, and even reported the time to go to the toilet.
Li Cheng laughed and shook his head only after they finished speaking.
Because the poison was given by Qiu Shaoyu, he was more anxious than anyone else to deny it at this time: "I've always stayed with you, and I'll come back after I was poisoned!"
Xu Yu is very clear about this, because it is true. That day, after Qiu Shaoyu was poisoned, she shrunk her neck and returned to the wing of the inn, she was still scolding him for being useless, and he was so afraid of doing something small.
"Knowing you're right, don't worry. Xu Yu patted his arm and comforted.
As long as everyone thought that there might be a demon in the house, they couldn't help but feel creepy, if there really was, wouldn't their next action be insecure?
"Why didn't Senior Brother Fang explain where he had been recently?" Li Cheng's eyes were like long arrows, pointing straight at Fang Hou. The others didn't know what he meant, but looked at Fang Hou curiously, as if waiting for an answer.
Faced with everyone's reaction, Fang Hou was not in a hurry: "The gentleman is frank, I have been staying with you for the past few days, what is there to explain." ”
Everyone took a deep breath and turned their heads to see Li Cheng's reaction. Only Lin Zhiyu kept his eyes calm and quietly looked at Fang Hou.
Although Fang Hou looked calm at this time, he was actually slightly stunned in his heart, this Li Cheng was really afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and he was still in the mood to dwell on the last thing at this time.
But on second thought, this is fine, anyway, I wanted to arouse his suspicions.
Li Cheng frowned, and just when everyone thought he was about to get angry, he suddenly laughed: "It's me who is too careful, and I hope that Senior Brother will not be surprised." ”
For this polite remark, Fang Hou accepted it all, and he didn't want to argue with him anymore.
Suffering from the lack of evidence, Li Cheng couldn't show it too obviously at this time, after all, Fang Hou was a disciple of the four elders, and too blatant skepticism just couldn't get along with the four elders.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Lin Zhiyu spoke, after all, everyone had gathered here for a while: "If there is nothing to do, they will disperse and prepare for tomorrow's affairs." ”
As soon as the words fell, Qiu Shaoyu was the first to shake his head: "It's okay! I've been sitting here for too long, my elbows are numb!" After speaking, he rubbed his arms dissatisfied.
Seeing this, Fang Hou snorted coldly.
After everyone dispersed as birds and beasts, only Li Cheng and Lin Zhiyu were left in the house.
"What my brother said today is really profound. Lin Zhiyu didn't know what to do, and poured a cup of tea for both of them.
"It seems that only senior brother understands me," Li Cheng saw that the other party didn't want to talk deeply, so he also replied vaguely: "We don't seem to be wrong on the surface, but whether it's really wrong or not, only I know." After speaking, he took a sip of tea.
He said this to show that he did not want to express his doubts too soon, and without evidence, the words he said were as pale and weak as a blank sheet of paper. Don't fail to find out the bad ones at that time, but stiffen the relationship between everyone.
"The junior brother is a reasonable person. After leaving the words, Lin Zhiyu walked out of the house.
Fang Hou, who returned to his room, finally lost his composure, closed the door, and paced back and forth in the room.
Judging from today's conversation with Li Cheng, they have been suspected, and the most important thing is that they already have a plan to deal with the demons. I have to hand over the news to the group of people in the demon clan quickly, otherwise I won't be able to get good at both ends by then.
Without further ado, Fang Houjue didn't sleep anymore, and opened the door without thinking.
"Yo, where are you going in such a hurry?" A white shadow flashed by the door, Fang Hou was suddenly shocked, and staggered back a few steps unsteadily, and was about to scold when he was helped by someone.
Who would come to him so late?
Looking at it, Fang Houqian's anger burned.
"Brother Zhiyu is coming to me at this time to do something, it's not too early, you should go back and rest. He pushed away the hand that was holding his arm, and said in an unkind tone.
Lin Zhiyu was not angry at this: "I should ask this, Brother Fang didn't rest so late, but he still had to go out, but what do you have to do?"
As he spoke, he leaned into Fang Hou's ear, pretending to be cynical.
Thinking that the disciples of the four elders were too unable to speak, instead of welcoming him, they wanted to drive him away, and if the four elders knew, they would definitely have to be scolded again.
Fang Hou didn't think about how to answer so as not to arouse suspicion, so he had to say hesitantly: "I just think this room is too stuffy and want to go out for a walk." ”
At this time, it was already dark outside, and there was only a full moon hanging high in the sky, and most of the people in the city had gone back to their homes.
Lin Zhiyu guessed that he had lied, but he didn't debunk it. Since he wants to play haha, it's not impossible to accompany him around.
Thinking like this, Lin Zhiyu walked directly to the window and opened the paper-paste window wide. A cool breeze blew in through the window, and the room was clear.
"Is this still boring?" Lin Zhiyu sat beside him and asked with concern.
This move made people can't find fault, but it really annoyed Fang Hou for a while, and he even began to wonder if this Lin Zhiyu knew something, otherwise how could it be so coincidental?
Pushing away the big head that came up, Fang Hou threw a roll of his eyes: "Thank you Brother Zhiyu for your concern, I'm much better." That being said, his face was not very good-looking, and he could only hold back his anger at this moment.
The candle flame in the house swayed softly, and the evening breeze carried the fragrance of grass and trees into the noses of the two. Fang Hou was like sitting on pins and needles, watching the sky getting later and later, and his heart became more and more anxious.
At this time, the demon people must not have slept yet, and they just agreed with the demon people not long ago, and if they don't hand over the news at this time, I'm afraid the plan will not be able to be carried out.
Lin Zhiyu on the other side knocked the melon seeds leisurely, and he was not in a hurry, humming a little song from time to time, but he refused to say anything.
"Can you go?" Fang Hou couldn't bear it anymore and hit him hard.
After being hit like this, Lin Zhiyu put down the melon seed shell in his hand and looked at the angry man innocently: "Where are you going?"
It's nothing more than that, Fang Hou blushed, but unfortunately he still has to maintain a gentleman's posture, if he gets angry, he will definitely arouse suspicion.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Lin Zhiyu asked again: "Let's go out for a walk?"
Fang Hou shook his head with a sad face, his teeth itched with hatred in private, and he couldn't get rid of this person, so he had to lie back on the bed in a depressed kimono, and he didn't take off his shoes and boots, just lying straight and straight.
When Lin Zhiyu was lying down here, he smiled coldly, and said in his heart that it must be nothing good for this kid to go out so late, so he thought about how to watch this person effortlessly. I don't have enough time, so it's not an option to stay here all the time.
After a long time, Fang Hou looked at him weakly: "Say, what is the matter with you coming to me?"
"Naturally, I came to you for something," Lin Zhiyu pulled him from the bed to the table, and his tone was not as serious as Fang Cai: "The next thing I want to ask you is very serious. ”
Fang Hou didn't care, and nodded absentmindedly.
At this time, I just hope that this person will leave quickly after asking, and he still has important matters. He didn't want to delay something important because of this person.
Seeing this scene, Lin Zhiyu couldn't help but have some doubts, could it be that Fang Hou was going to take any action?
Seeing him like this and walking in this direction, he must be going to meet with the demons, you must know that they and the demons are incompatible.
