Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Green Family

After hearing the whole thing, Xuanyu was pondering, and I struggled to climb on the edge of the bed, stretching out my hand and trying to catch it under the bed...... I remember I had a big piece of jerky underneath, where did I go?

I tried to bite the piece of jerky bigger than my head, while observing the look of Xuan Yu, he usually has a cool face, just like I usually have a smiling face forever, but this kind of private behind closed doors no one will see, the two of us will have any messy expressions, just like just now, I was still pouting my ass and looking for jerky under the bed.

Xuan Yu raised his head with a puzzled expression, and when he saw that I was biting on the jerky, his face changed, and he snatched my jerky and roared, "You really don't want to die. 」

I looked aggrieved, "But I'm still hungry......

"I'll bring another bowl of porridge later. Xuanqi was very persistent, and even put my jerky into his own arms, but he wouldn't give it to me.

"I've checked the sword you brought back. Xuanqi is Xuanqiao, and he goes straight to the point without saying a word.

I tilted my head, and then I remembered that it was the one in the execution hut on the knight I had kicked down.

"Oh, have you found out whose sword it is?"

"This swordsman's head has the plum blossom emblem of the Green Shadow family, and if you want to cause a wound on your shoulder and make you choose to escape, it must at least be a high-ranking knight, and there are only three high-ranking knights in the Green Shadow family, the third son of Earl Green Shadow, and two knights who are loyal to you. 」

"Who is it?" I asked without hesitation, believing that with Xuanqi's ability, with the sword I got back, I should be able to check seven or eight points.

Xuan Yu was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "The third son of Count Green You, his allegiance to the master is His Royal Highness the Great Prince. 」

I was silent, and asked with some expectation, "Are you sure it's the third son of the earl?"

Although I ask so, what I really want to ask is, is it really a good thing done by His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince?

It was only possible for a knight who cared about a lot of honor to abandon the corpse, and since the third son of the earl was loyal to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, there was no one else who abused the death knight.

Xuanyu nodded: "The two high-ranking knights under Earl Green You, one is out of town, and the other is patrolling the city all day, and there are several knights who travel with him to prove it. 」

"Your Royal Highness...... Torture a man to death?" My face was a little strange, and it didn't look like a good thing that His Royal Highness the Prince, who was responsible and mild-mannered, would do.

After I said this, the whole room fell silent, and there was a faint depressing atmosphere, I thought that because this matter involved His Royal Highness the Prince, then the matter became very troublesome, even if it was found out that the matter was really done by the prince, can we send the only heir of this country to the guillotine?

"Outside......" Xuanqi suddenly opened his mouth, but only said two words, but then fell silent.

I looked at Xuanqi, today I always feel that this guy is a little strange, usually if there are only the two of us, he will always relax his expression, and then a cool face is smiling, although they are all quite stiff smiles because he hasn't laughed for too long, and with his cool face the overall look is funny.

But today, he still seemed to have a tense face, and the smile at first seemed fake, as I could tell, because it was exactly the same as the one I usually wear.

I looked at him, and he looked back at me, a kind of oppressive and strange atmosphere that had never been seen before spread between the two of us, and the black eyes that Xuanqi had always been firm were now a little flickering, and I could even tell from his slightly frowning brow that he was a little embarrassed.

"What the hell...... I grabbed my bright blonde hair, and then rudely shoved the Xuanqi: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't hide it from me, I'll tell you when I turn my face with you." 」

Xuanqi hesitated for a moment, but under my determined expression, he only sighed and said, "There are rumors all over the city that you tortured and killed that Death Knight. 」

Hearing this, I was so shocked that I stiffened my body, and Xuan Yu had already continued.

"The Pope has instructed that there is no need to investigate the truth, and that now he should do his best to slander the Death Knight as a heinous sinner, and after you caught him, he repeatedly refused to listen, and finally he was taken away by the trial and finally executed. 」

"The reason why he is obsessed with you is because you caught him. When Xuanqi said this, his tone was very calm, as if he was talking about a fact.

But this is clearly not the truth! Intense anger suddenly welled up in my chest, and I don't know if it was because the death knight was falsely accused, or because I was holding on to my weak body to investigate, and I almost died, but I was angry that I didn't need to investigate!

In short, the anger in my heart was like a sudden wildfire, which instantly turned into a prairie fire, raging fiercely in my chest, but strangely, my hands and feet felt unusually cold, even cold sweat.

"Calm down. Sensing that something was wrong, Xuanyu patted me on the shoulder with concern.

I waved his hand away, and it made both of us stunned.

He withdrew his hand, still silent, but I couldn't keep my mouth shut, and couldn't help but ask him, "You don't believe I didn't kill the knight?"

Xuan Yu was stunned, then looked up at me for a moment before he said, "I believe in the evidence. 」

When I heard this, my heart sank.

Xuan Yu carefully analyzed: "The current situation may be that His Royal Highness the Prince killed the death knight and asked his knight to abandon his body in the execution ground......

"But it's possible that I did it, right?"

I interrupted Xuanqi's words in a loud voice, Xuanqiao was obviously a little stunned, but he didn't refute my words, I was even more angry, and I couldn't control it and said: "Anyway, the person targeted by the death knight is me, and what happened to the execution ground hut is what I said, and I also took the sword back, maybe I made it all up, maybe what I think is, as long as the matter is blamed on the prince, no one dares to really find out if the prince has committed a crime, right, Xuanfang Holy Angel Judge?"

I finished it all in one breath, and I felt a little out of breath, and my chest rose and fell violently, I don't know if I was really tired or if the anger in my chest was about to burst out of my chest.

Xuanyu was silent for a long time...... For a long time...... In the end, he just said, "Possibly. 」

"you!" I let out a low growl.

With a gloomy face, I jumped up from the bed, opened the closet on the side, took out my spare cloak, and looked at the Xingji Excalibur next to me, I hesitated to know if I wanted to take this thing, but in the end, I decided not to take it, anyway, I haven't decided what to do, I'm just gambling on it!

"Xingji, where are you going, your body is ......" Xuan Yu stood up suddenly, his face full of disapproval.

"Go find Momoko and ask about something!" I interrupted Xuan's speech, and couldn't help but mockingly say, "If you're interested, you can sue me one more necromancer." 」

"You ......" Xuanqi's face tightened, and it seemed that he was a little angry.

Oops! I suddenly felt a little weak in my heart, the last sentence just now really shouldn't have been said, and it accidentally made Xuanyu angry...... Ahh

I went to Momoko to discuss it first, and then I thought about it, so I might as well act immediately, and I wanted to go out with my cloak in one hand, but at the last moment, I suddenly remembered something important, and turned to Xuanyu and said, "By the way, don't spread the pope's nonsense, I will find out the truth." 」

As soon as I finished speaking, Xuan Yu was silent again, which made me a little nervous, usually this friend would agree to any of my nonsense requests without saying a word, such as helping me solve combat missions, helping me investigate missions, and helping me beat people to seek justice, but now he is silent...... It was terrible! I really shouldn't have him off.

Luckily, it was clear that the weight was much larger than I had thought, and he just thought about it for a moment and said, "I can hold things down for three days at most. 」
