Chapter 283: Weaving Lies
"You still don't want to say it?" Gao Yuanli was a little weak, and his fists on the low table were clenched so that the green tendons bulged out. The look at me was one of distrustful disappointment, as if it was a little hurt.
I knew I couldn't be silent any longer, and my mind was starting to come back to my senses little by little.
The finger holding the pill slowly released - I wanted to use this to threaten him with this, let him eat it and I would tell the truth. Roughly I will say that I don't believe him, and if I want to believe it, I will take this poison (in fact, it is just a pill to treat stomach pain when menstruation comes, and it is not good for men to take it, so naturally there is no harm).
I also plan that as long as he is willing to eat it, then I can use this to threaten him not to reveal everything I say. Including his master, Mrs. Xu, not either.
But I had other thoughts now, and though my conscience was a little uncomfortable, I decided to deceive the fledgling calf swordsman one more time. There is no need to use such threats, in fact, there is another way to go.
After all the things I have done in Dragon City in the past, I won't trust anyone easily. Deciding who to trust and when to trust me will be rigorously analyzed and verified by yourself.
Especially for such a major event that will expose the secrets of the Fenglong Clan and Wolong Valley, I will not say it easily. On second thought, though, the threat of pills would most likely shatter the friendship we've just established.
At that time, it was not good for me. For foxes, it's even more disadvantageous. If Gao Yuanli is provoked by me because of this, he stabs me to death with a sword, then he will make a hair!
"Actually, it's not that I don't want to say it. I'm afraid that it's too unrealistic for me to say it, and you think I have a problem with my brain and won't help me. I quickly sorted out what I was going to say next, and the tip of the finger that released the pill was already slimy.
I quietly wiped the towel on my sleeve and picked up the chopsticks.
Gao gradually left to see that I was relieved, his clenched fist finally loosened a little, and his face was not so ugly: "You didn't say it, why do you think I would think like that?" He watched me put a spoonful of vegetables into the bowl, and then raised his hand to take the chopsticks.
"Well, I'll confess to you. I simply put down my chopsticks and sat upright, "I can understand what the critter's voice means, you know that, right?"
He nodded, as if he was affected by my emotions, and put down his chopsticks, which he had never picked up at all.
"As for me, I'm actually half a beast tamer. It's just that my ability is too weird and too chicken, and I am not recognized by everyone. I licked my lips, and my tone was slow to show that I wasn't lying, "I can understand what is being said, but my little creatures are fine." ”
I picked up a chopstick and poked at the chicken in the bowl: "For example, if I want to ask the animals to do something, I have to consult with them." I also have to buy things to coax well. ”
"It's not the same for everyone else. My chopsticks reached for the bowl next to me and lit up a green leaf, "They couldn't understand what the little animal's voice was saying, but they could make it obediently understand their own words and obey." ”
Gao was intrigued by my words, and listened with his ears pricked up motionlessly.
I silently apologized in my heart and continued to make up elaborate lies: "I am disgusted, and I often don't have enough to eat. But my husband is different, he is a recognized genius in the clan, not only is he superb in martial arts, but he is also very good at taming beasts with a whip......"
I was about to lead to the key points related to Qi Jiuniang, I couldn't help but pause, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea soup to moisten my throat.
"I'll just say how can there be such obvious calluses on the tiger's mouth of these hands, and the muscles and bones are very good. It turns out that he is also a master, and he still uses a whip. Gao faded away and whispered as he looked at his hand in the interval between my pauses.
I took his words: "Yes, he used the whip." It's a pity that he and I look at each other. The two of them were ostracized in the clan, so they came out. We were going to get married......"
These words can be picked up from what I have said before, but some of them are different. Only in this way can it be as if Gao gradually dug up the truth from me little by little, and did not feel that he had fallen into another lie.
We can work hard to complete our cooperation, but I will not let go easily if we need to be cautious.
"Then what does this have to do with chasing Qi Jiuniang? shouldn't we go and guard the shallow sea of Chisong Village and wait for the floating island to come over, and board the Golden Soul Inn to find a way to get back your husband?" Gao Yuanli jumped directly to this question, indicating that he already understood the meaning of my words.
I smiled wryly and shook my head: "Actually, this is exactly what I am hiding from you. ”
"......" he opened his lips, but didn't say a word. Instead, he took a sip of tea and soup. He didn't take his eyes off my face as he did this. It's not a scrutinizing gaze, but the faint happiness of finally being believed.
Seeing his expression, I couldn't help but say sorry again.
"Actually, the beast that the husband tamed fell into Qi Jiuniang's hands......" I pondered what I was about to say, and said: "This beast was sold after Qi Jiuniang got it, I don't know where to sell it, so I have to find Qi Jiuniang and ask." ”
Next, I told me what I had heard from the crossfish. Of course, the part that should not be said is hidden.
"You haven't seen it with your own eyes, just based on the meaning expressed in the voice of the Henggong fish, how can you be sure that it is your husband's beast?" Gao Yanli really knew how to dig up small details, and even thought of this.
I know that as long as I find Qi Jiuniang, I may not succeed alone when I go to save Ying Long, and Gao Yuanli will be the best candidate for support at that time.
He would also know about Ying Long's existence at that time.
Since you have to know sooner or later, it is better for me to let him know first according to my own ideas. However, Ying Long has nothing to do with the Fenglong Clan and Wolong Valley at this time. Thinking about it, I put down the tea bowl and said, "You may not know that my husband's tamed beast is not an ordinary fierce beast, but a dragon and a black dragon. ”
"......" Gao Yanli was completely stunned, and it took a long time to react and say: "The black dragon, could it be the monster I saw in my dream?!"
I smiled wryly and nodded: "It was this dragon who saved us at sea, but it still fell due to physical exhaustion. We and it were swept away by the waves and scattered in all directions. It was only later that I saw the fish and found out that it had been swept into the fog wall. But he was still arrested by Qi Jiuniang. ”
"Doesn't that sound incredible? After all, dragons are legendary and disappeared hundreds of years ago. I touched my nose and laughed.
Unexpectedly, Gao Yanli was not surprised at all: "That's just the opinion of ordinary people." My master knew that there was a beast tamer who was related to dragons. It's a pity that they live in seclusion and are not common. ”
