Chapter 51: Ignite the Flames
After discussing with Cui Zhiwei, Yan Jingnian sent two guards to the inn to keep an eye on. But the two guards did not return until dawn the next day. It hurt that Yan Jingnian didn't sleep well all night, and found Cui Zhiwei again with two dark circles under his eyes.
Cui Zhiwei, who was also worried about this matter, didn't sleep well all night, but her dark circles were not so obvious.
"How's it going?" Cui Zhiwei asked when he saw Yan Jingnian.
Yan Jingnian shook his head, "No." He frowned again and asked, "Did you think something would happen?"
"You didn't tell them to put out the fire, did you?"
"No, I just told the two of them to keep an eye on it, and if there is a fire there, immediately shout to get rid of the water and call someone to put out the fire. ”
"Could it be that they waited all night and didn't catch fire, and they are still waiting there?" she would have some problems with every deduction, but there would still be important scenes. This time, her purpose was to put out the fire in time, if the inn was not on fire, did it mean that those people could be saved? In addition, it was almost certain that there was no fire last night, otherwise the town was not big, and no matter where the fire broke out, it should be visible.
Yan Jingnian nodded, "You're right, maybe I'm thinking too much." ”
"Why don't you let your spirit bird go and investigate?" Cui Zhiwei proposed.
Yan Jingnian slapped his head, "Master, why didn't I think of it." "I was a little embarrassed," the spirit bird flew away early in the morning. ”
"Flew away?" Cui Zhiwei raised his eyebrows.
"I said I was going to the mountains to eat morning dew. ”
"Just when I didn't say it. "A bird is precious, but if it is not precious, it cannot be called a spirit bird.
"Why don't I, Master, try to summon it back?" Li Ruosu told him that the spirit bird had made a contract with him, and there would be a sense between the two. If he wanted the spirit bird to do something, he could tell it through his divine sense. What is Divine Sense? He originally planned to ask his master, but now he can only ask Cui Zhiwei.
"Divine Sense?" Cui Zhiwei was embarrassed at this time, and after thinking about it, he replied, "You think about the spirit bird with your head, and then issue your order to it to try it." ”
"Can this work?" Yan Jingnian was still a little uneasy.
"I don't know, it's better than you don't do anything, right?"
"That's right. "The right to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.
When he tried to communicate with the spirit bird, Cui Zhiwei proposed again: "It will be a waste of time for you to summon the spirit bird back and send it out, if you can summon it, let it go directly to that inn to investigate." ”
Yan Jingnian nodded, "Master, I'll try." ”
I don't know if the spirit bird received the summons of Yan Jingnian to go to investigate, they have already had breakfast, Li Ruosu wanted to take the two of them away, and the two guards who were sent out still did not come back. Li Ruosu seemed to have guessed what the two of them had done, and asked, "Why aren't you two in a hurry? If we don't hurry now, we won't be able to enter Anping before the city is closed tonight." ”
"Senior brother, did we do something wrong?" Cui Zhiwei lowered his head and asked weakly.
Li Ruosu raised her eyebrows, "What do you think?"
"But we can't just watch those people die. Cui Zhi replied in a low voice.
"You had good intentions, but you hurt two people who didn't have to die in vain. ”
"What?" Cui Zhiwei raised his head, "Senior brother, you said they would die too?" Although she already had a bad premonition, hearing Li Ruosu say this, her mood suddenly became complicated.
"You didn't use the eye of heaven to see before?"
"Nope. Cui Zhiwei shook his head, "You said that you can't always open the eyes of the sky, and I haven't seen those two people with my own eyes." She was even more remorseful now.
Then, Yan Jingnian asked again: "Senior Brother Li, will those two guards really die?"
"If I'm not wrong, I think it would. ”
"Didn't Senior Brother Li just know that we sent someone, right?" Yan Jingnian asked again.
"Yes, I already knew last night. "Li Ruosu stayed in the room between the two last night, how could the small actions of the two of them be hidden from him.
"Then why didn't Senior Brother Li stop us?" While Yan Jingnian complained about himself, he also complained a little about Li Ruosu.
"If I don't let you suffer a little loss and learn a lesson, I can stop you this time, can I stop you for the rest of my life?"
"But ......" Yan Jingnian didn't know how to refute for a while.
"Okay," Li Ruosu waved his hand, "It's useless to talk so much now, we'll know the result later." ”
Because several people wanted to know the result, Li Ruosu decided to stay at the inn for another day. It didn't take long for the little spirit bird to fly back, and it chattered for a long time in front of Yan Jingnian, and Yan Jingnian roughly understood what had happened.
"What the hell is going on?" Cui Zhiwei asked anxiously.
Yan Jingnian's expression was solemn, and he replied: "There are many people who have died over there, and someone has been asked to go to Anping to find someone from the county government to deal with it." ”
"Did anyone set the fire last night?" she didn't believe she was deducing.
"Yes. Yan Jingnian nodded, "But because it was discovered in time, it was extinguished." ”
"How did you people die?" Cui Zhiwei asked.
"There are those who are killed, and there are those who are bitten to death. ”
"How so? Who did it? And what beast killed them?"
"I don't know about this yet, and the little spirit bird hasn't found out. ”
Cui Zhiwei asked again: "What about the two guards we sent?"
"The little spirit bird was not found. "I also lost a lot of time looking for those two guards.
Cui Zhiwei nodded to show that he understood, then looked at Li Ruosu and asked, "Senior brother, do we have to send someone over to find those two guards?"
"It's better not to act rashly for now. Li Ruosu raised his hand to stop him, "Don't be suspicious of us by the people of the government just because you sent people to look for us." ”
"But if the guards we sent are found at the scene, it will also arouse the suspicion of the government?"
Li Ruosu frowned, his expression solemn, "It is a good thing for us that those two guards died on the spot right now, for fear that they will be dealt with and create the illusion of escaping, and they will be framed on our heads." ”
Hearing him say this, Cui Zhiwei's mind was a little confused, but he still subconsciously retorted: "There must be evidence, right? The government can't just suspect people casually? Also, doesn't it mean that some people were bitten to death by some wild beast? Even if we send two guards over, we can't rely on us for this matter, right?"
"If the person who did this has something to do with the haunting of Anping County, they will definitely find a way to rely on us. Now, Li Ruosu also regrets that he didn't stop these two little guys from messing around in time.
"Senior Brother Li, it's just your guess now, maybe this won't happen?" Yan Jingnian was very optimistic.
Li Ruosu sighed and said slowly, "I hope." ”
