Chapter 18: Conspiracy?!
The journey was a little too smooth. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I thought that time would be spent on rushing back and forth, but it turned out that I was doing nothing now.
I didn't expect that the mountain passage was not as long as I imagined, and I didn't expect that there were sword servants waiting for me when I was near the end, guiding me to come out of another exit, and directly appeared from a farmhouse very close to Shattered Cloud City, and came to Shattered Cloud City in a moment;
After leaving the information he wanted from the envoy, he found a teahouse and sat down before he could plan what he was going to do.
Drink tea and eat snacks, sort out the clues so far, find clues, and think about what you should do next. By the way, let's learn about the latest information about the rivers and lakes.
The teahouse is really a good place, as long as you find the right teahouse, sit in it for a while, the recent hot spots in the rivers and lakes, whether there are real or not, almost can roughly understand the same.
Although the credibility is debatable, it is not difficult for a veteran to distinguish the falsehood and exaggeration, and analyze the true face of the matter. For things that are interested, find reliable friends to understand and understand, and if you are not interested, just listen to it and forget it, and continue to listen to the next one.
Xu Heng is exercising this ability of his own. At this time, he seemed to be drinking tea and eating snacks, but in fact, he was concentrating, looking at the six roads, listening to all directions, and taking the entire teahouse in his heart.
"Hey, brother, do you know about Lord Ma? Don't you know? Hey, you're outdated, Lord Ma is a ghost god who came out of the Netherworld before March! When Shui Kou was about to capture Linshui City, he led his ghost army of the underworld to split the ground, killed the Japanese Kou without leaving a piece of armor, and then in order to bring heavenly punishment to the Japanese Kou, he changed Linshui City into a ghost city in Xudu, and wanted to use tens of millions of ghost troops to kill the Japanese Kou Island and clear the world......
He seems to be just a thief who wants to occupy land and become the king, and he doesn't have that ambition.
Xu Heng heard about Ma Wangye from Shao Yinshui, and felt that what he said was more credible, so he didn't care about this matter and focused on the other side.
“…… Let me tell you, the day before yesterday, the day when the weather was very good on the seventh day of the first lunar month, fortunately I didn't go to Qingjiang where to step on the spring, you don't know, more than a dozen Gu corpses ran out of southern Xinjiang that day, it was the kind of half-dead corpse, and it bitten people when they saw them, and hundreds of people were injured, fortunately, the city guard arrived in time with the troops, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable......"
On the banks of the Qingjiang River, it seems that he was there at the time, and there were Gu corpses, but there were not a dozen, and there were only a few injured people, which was too exaggerated. Xu Heng turned his attention to the other side.
“…… The haunting of the Shen family in the east of the city is true! I saw with my own eyes that such a person suddenly fell from the upper floor, broke his leg, and got up and ran like no one else, but he was beaten to death by another person with a whip before he took two steps, and the Shen family all ran out to carry the corpse......
The Shen family, it seems that the woman in red is called Shen Yexin, she has had a relationship with Qin Yi'an, and it is not uncommon for Gu corpses in the family to get out of control after Qin Yi'an's death, Beiyi was beaten to death with a whip, could it be Su Su?
She ran to Shen's house, and it was not very unexpected, but she has always taken care of the woman in red.
Xu Heng smiled, took a sip of tea, and continued to listen. But the next conversation didn't stop him from laughing.
……
"What? The Ten Thousand Swords Villa has been stolen!"
"Shhh
"Okay, let's talk about it quickly, Wanjian Villa actually lost a sword, how is it possible!"
"Hey, don't believe it, it's not just the sword that you lost, but the most important sword! Guess what?"
"The most important sword in the Ten Thousand Swords Villa?, could it be, Xuanyuan Sword?!"
"Hey......
"No, is the news reliable?"
"Do you still doubt my Zhang San's character? If it's unreliable, I'll tell you? I'll tell you something again, tomorrow morning, our He Da Shaoxia of Shattered Cloud City will lead a group of young swordsmen to Wanjian Villa to meet the owner of the village and ask about it!
"Is that right? Can I go with me? If I really get a sword, wouldn't I suddenly become a hero?!"
"Of course, otherwise how would I tell you, don't tell anyone else, let's leave tonight!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go and prepare!"
……
How did this get out?
The information is still so accurate.
Could it be that stealing the sword was all a conspiracy against Ten Thousand Swords Villa?
But this conspiracy is too ridiculous, no matter whether they can prove whether the Xuanyuan Sword was stolen or not, even if it is proven, with this small group of people in Shattered Cloud City, it will be difficult for the Ten Thousand Swords Villa to willingly hand over all the swords. The entire martial arts came to question Ten Thousand Swords Villa, and it was almost the same.
What did the sword stealer do when he leaked this news all at once?
Xu Heng frowned, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still had no clue.
But he remembered another person, who might be able to give him some advice.
A veteran who has been immersed in the rivers and lakes for many years, Shao Yinshui.
……
Shao Yinshui said that he would deal with some hometown affairs. His hometown is the Shao family, in the east of the city.
It's been three days, and I don't know if he's gone.
Feeling the severity of the matter, Xu Heng didn't dare to slack off, called Xiao Er to pay the bill and set off, but met an acquaintance downstairs.
Su Su had been waiting for him in front of his horse for a long time, dressed in a plain white dress, his posture was as good as before, still expressionless, standing there quietly, looking at Xu Heng, waiting for him to speak.
The Yiren on the other side were no different from two days ago, but Xu Heng's mind about them had changed drastically. This was the first meeting after the change, and Xu Heng was suddenly a little nervous and embarrassed.
But it seems that if he doesn't speak, Su Su will keep watching him until the earth is barren, time is pressing, and Xu Heng has to break the deadlock.
"You,"
"Well, me. ”
"Have you eaten?"
Xu Heng was shocked when he said this, what is this! How could he say such a thing? The terrible thing is that the other party thought about it seriously for a while, and then replied with a frown: "I didn't eat, I was indeed a little hungry." ”
"Okay, let's go eat then. ”
"Good. ”
Xu Heng felt that he was hopeless, anyway, things couldn't be worse, he simply stepped forward to lead the horse, led Su Su to find an inn nearby, and sat down under Xiao Er's strange gaze, asking for wine and food.
It's time to eat!
It's still an hour and a half before dinner!
Xu Heng had never felt so nervous, even though they had had more intimate contact before, they didn't have the slightest emotion at that time, but after clarifying their intentions, the two of them just began to tremble nervously with their palms while sitting and eating.
Trembling! Obviously, the problem that he had overcome when he and Shao Yinshui tested each other came back!
No, that's not normal!
Xu Heng closed his eyes and took three deep breaths before Xiao Er served the food, and did countless thought work for himself in his brain during the breath, trying to pull his mood back to his normal heart, but this was interrupted by Xiao Er.
At this time, it was the leisure time of the inn, there were almost no guests in the huge inn, and in less than a moment, the wine and food were all on board, Xu Heng had to open his eyes, facing the woman who was quietly looking at him in front of him, he picked up the wine jug and wanted to pour a glass for the other side, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw Su Su's stern gaze, coughed, put down the wine jug with interest, and poured a cup of tea for Su Su and himself.
"Respectfully,"
As soon as Xu Heng raised the teacup, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Su Su.
"Don't talk nonsense when you eat!"
"Uh, yes. ”
Xu Heng put down the wine glass and picked up the chopsticks, and secretly glanced at the woman opposite who was concentrating on putting vegetables in his bowl, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and suddenly felt that he had no appetite, and he took back the chopsticks several times, not knowing what to eat.
This situation was noticed by Su Su. When Xu Heng was at a loss for the third time, the woman slapped the chopsticks on the table, and her pretty face was half angry and half suspicious: "You are not Xu Heng, who are you?!"
The woman's question was like a slap in the face, which shocked Xu Heng's heart:
"Who am I, I'm not Xu Heng?!"
The man in the dark clothes closed his eyes and asked himself. This question passes through the emotions of excitement, joy, panic, and worry, and goes straight to the bottom of my heart. found the root cause of my helplessness:
-- Concern is chaos
――I care too much about Su Su
-- I lost my old self
Sure enough, I remember reading those words in this story, saying that men and women in love are unconscious. At the time, I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to really appear on me, not to mention that Su Su didn't seem to like him yet.
"No, I'm no one else, I'm Xu Heng. ”
Xu Heng recited this sentence in his heart, and at the same time found his true self.
He slowly opened his eyes, his heart was full of joy and gratitude, grateful to Su Su's words for waking up the person in the dream, glad that he woke up in time and did not cause any evil consequences. In addition, he became more and more fond of the woman in front of him.
The woman opposite had already picked out the food for herself, a small bowl of dissatisfaction was all vegetables, and the meat was given to Xu Heng, she pushed the rest to Xu Heng: "The rest is yours." Eat it. ”
"Eat it all. ”
Su Su had already set her eyes on her dinner, her long eyelashes drooping, bringing a touch of gentleness to her pretty:
"I have something to say after eating. ”
