The Siege of Fancheng Chapter 23 The Gap in Time

These days, he felt more and more that after walking out of the Dust Valley, everything about his Senior Brother Yihuan became more and more confusing. What he is most interested in now is what the senior brother has experienced in the past, who is he, and why did he choose the name "Yi Huan"?

"Mr. Mu, in fact, this tip is just a note. If the gentleman felt that it was not necessary to give it to the master so solemnly, the old man could dictate the contents. "Lin Haidao.

As soon as these words came out, Mu Rui understood the recklessness of Fang Cai's words, and hurriedly replied: "The old-timers may have misunderstood, but this is not what I mean. Lin seniors rest assured that they will definitely hand over this bag to the owner of the glazed cicada jade in person. ”

Although he said this, he was inevitably curious. However, since Lin Hai handed over this bag to himself, it was not easy for him to take it apart and look at it, and he always felt itchy and uncomfortable.

"Mr. Hope conveyed to the master of the cicada jade that the next game of chess and winning four golden horns and four silver edges is a superb performance of chess skills. However, only when there are several scattered heaven and earth, being able to take down Tian Yuan is the victory of the final pattern. Until then, it is important to note that there is a need to prevent internal divisions. ”

Mu Rui heard these words in a fog, although he had some of the same reasoning about the game, but Lin Hai's words still made him feel incomprehensible.

"Thank you seniors, the words of the seniors will be conveyed by all means. Mu Rui leaned over.

At this moment, in his heart, he still pondered the meaning of Lin Hai's words. Four golden horns, four silver edges, a few scattered heaven and earth, the victory of the pattern...... In the chess game, Tian Yuan is also nicknamed the grass belly, which corresponds to the golden horn and silver edge, implying that its importance is second to the golden horn and silver edge.

Therefore, few people start the game to take Tian Yuan directly, and even say that when playing the game, they pay more attention to how to win in the corner, and few people pay attention to Tian Yuan's position.

That's it, I still went back to Xiaohulu, and said that I would listen to it with my senior brother, maybe as soon as he explained, he would understand.

......

"Senior brother, tell me quickly, what is the content of this bag?"

As soon as Mu Rui returned to Xiaohulu, he handed over the bag to Yi Huan. Yi Huan opened it and saw that there was only one line of words on it: The fire city is cold, and the Vermilion Bird is dead.

When Yi Huan saw this line of words, he frowned, and his face was completely drunk. The feather fan in his hand fanned uneasily, as if trying to fan away the drunkenness.

"What does that mean? Senior brother, you're talking. Mu Rui urged anxiously.

He didn't understand, what was the cold of the fire city, and what was the death of the Suzaku Bird? This sounded like a prophecy and a bad news. Could it be that there is a place called the City of Fire?

"Looks like he's got it all......" Yi Huan muttered softly.

"What do you know?" Mu Rui's ears were very bright, and he didn't miss any of his senior brother's words. Of course, he seems to be able to understand what the senior brother said, the so-called knowing, it is likely that Lin Hai and the senior brother knew each other in the past, and now although the senior brother is avoiding him, Lin Lao already knows that the owner of the glazed cicada jade is the senior brother.

What is the identity of the senior brother, and why does Lin know him?

"Alright, let's get the matter in front of us first. Yi Huan ignored Mu Rui's curiosity, put away the note, and tucked it into his sleeve.

"Isn't that unsolved case already settled?" asked Mu Rui.

Now that the unsolved case has been solved, Chu Jue has washed away his grievances, relying on this opportunity to tell the people, Wei Song and Lin Hai have also fully won the hearts of the people. At this time, many of the Inspectorate's offices began to prepare. Everything will go very smoothly.

I can't figure out what else is left unresolved.

"You, you still haven't learned. Since there is a mirror seller in Huicheng who is a spy of the demon clan, it is difficult to guarantee that there are other demon clans mixed in, and what we need to do now is to eradicate these black sheep. Yi Huan patted his junior brother's head.

"Speaking of this, I have always had something I don't understand, and I want to ask my brother. Mu Rui said.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Senior brother, why do you know that someone from the demon clan has infiltrated Fancheng and is doing business to buy mirrors?"

"This is actually very simple. Yi Huan took a sip of wine and replied, "You just have to think about how many days it will take to travel from the city where the ghost king was located to Huicheng at that time?"

"It's about three days away. Mu Rui thought for a moment and then replied.

At that time, the city where the ghost king was located was the closest Lancheng to Huicheng. Lancheng is located on the border of Lingnan, and continues to the north is Huaibei, the settlement of the demon clan.

Lancheng south, not too far to Huicheng, there are not many dangerous roads, with the speed of the ghost king and other demons, it should be possible to reach it in less than three days.

However, what does this have to do with the fact that the senior brother knows that the dragon is selling psychic treasures?

"Since all the internal guards of the Supervision Mansion had an accident, it did take them three days to come to Huicheng, which is what I am very surprised about. Yi Huan took another sip of wine, but there was a sober look on his face.

The Supervision Office was the centralized institution with the highest combat power in Huicheng at that time. The Ghost King wants to attack Huicheng, and the biggest obstacle is the Supervision Mansion. Chu Lan and the others in the Supervision Mansion once made the Ghost King's subordinates suffer losses, just like Wei Yuan.

"But what Senior Brother said is very strange, they arrived in Huicheng in three days, what's wrong......" Just as he was about to continue asking, Mu Rui was suddenly stunned, and a lightning bolt flashed through his head, "That's right!"

Such a simple detail, how can I ignore it.

"You're right, it's just that the time that the news has been delivered to Lancheng is missing. Yi Huan said, "No matter what kind of little demon you use to send the letter, if you want to spread the news to Lancheng, it will take at least two days." However, this time does not exist at all. From the accident of the internal guards of the supervision mansion to the ghost king's invasion of Huicheng, it took exactly three days. So I guessed that it was likely that the Ghost King already knew the news the moment the internal guards of the Supervision Mansion were killed. ”

"And the channel of news," Mu Rui also suddenly understood, "there is only a psychic treasure that can directly convey the scene of all things!"

He had to admire his senior brother again. Such details can deduce a seemingly unrelated important clue. With this insight, I'm afraid no one can surpass his senior brother.

"Hey, hey, what are you talking about?" Ouyang Xun strode into the threshold of Xiaohulu, looking left and right to see if there was anything new about this newly built house.

But after looking around for a long time, it seems that it is just the same model, copying it all.

"I said, junior brother, if you build a new house, can't you change your taste? ”

After speaking, Ouyang Xun made a disgusted expression. It's like an artist's disdain for mortals.

"Senior brother, I'm talking ...... with Senior Brother Yihuan"

"Say, what are you doing here?" Before Mu Rui finished speaking, Yi Huan interrupted and asked Ouyang Xun very coldly.

Ouyang Xun naturally saw Yi Huan's attitude, and he didn't care about him, so he went straight to the point: "Senior brother, you asked me to catch the little spy who sold mirrors at that time, and you didn't tell me what to do with this loot." Tell me, should it be stewed, boiled, or ......"

Ouyang Xun smiled, but he was frightened by the sturdy dragon tied behind him, and knelt down and begged: "Big brother, hero, don't kill me, don't kill me!" I have a seventy-year-old mother and a ...... below."

"There are babies waiting to be fed," Ouyang Xun rolled his eyes and took over the conversation, "This kind of routine, when I was chased and beaten by the master when I was a child, I used it badly." ”

After speaking, he grabbed the ears of the dragon, ignored his painful "wow" scream, and threw it into the house. Baolin Qiu also deliberately slapped him as if robbing him, almost slapping the dragon to death again.

"Say, junior brother, what should I do with this trophy?" Ouyang Xun rode on the dragon's body. The dragon looked pitifully at the two white-clothed men in front of him, his face was still red and swollen, and he was about to beg for mercy again, when he suddenly showed a surprised look: "Eh, you're not ......"

"What is it?" Ouyang Xun sat down fiercely on top of it.

"Alas, forget it, it's all my thoughts, how can this kind of thing be possible......" The dragon lowered his head. Ouyang Xun grabbed his ear again, and increased his strength, making it die of pain: "Do you know your current situation?

The ears of the dragon were carried so painfully, and the hardships of the past two days were really unbearable. Ouyang Xun and Baolin Qiu tried their best to trick him, bullied him, and made him suffer the worst physical pain.

"I said, I said no," begged for mercy, "Actually, I just thought he looked like the young ...... eight years ago."

"Senior brother, let it go. Yi Huan spoke, "Although this spirit has been working as a spy in Huicheng, he has not directly killed people. After all these years, he hasn't even moved a finger from others. It has not accumulated too many sins. ”

"Yes, yes, I really haven't touched any of the Terrans," Wei Wei hurriedly said, "Over the years, except for the fact that I have been in charge of selling mirrors, at other times, I am almost no different from the Terrans, and I have also gotten close to other people, and I actually like the life of the Terrans." ”

"Shut up!" Ouyang Xun grabbed his ear again, "You became a spy and let the Ghost King know everything about the situation in Huicheng." If it weren't for you selling the Psychic Treasure Book, how could you let the Ghost King know the news that the Supervision Mansion had been slaughtered by wicked people, and how could you give the Ghost King the opportunity to invade Huicheng? Even if you didn't directly kill the people, you were the indirect culprit!"

His voice was so loud that he scared the spirits out of their minds. It knelt on its knees, trembling and tears lingering.

"I, what's wrong with me?" After a while, it sobbed, "Can I not obey the king's orders? If I don't, I will only die! However, our king slaughtered the city, and I didn't want it to do this! I have lived in Huicheng all these years, and I have such a good relationship with the surrounding human races, sometimes, I don't want to see them die!"

After speaking, the tears fell more fiercely, and the sobbing sound was like a baby, which unconsciously infected the atmosphere in the whole room.

"Senior brother, that's it. Actually, you can't really blame it all. ”

Mu Rui also suddenly opened his mouth to defend.

This made Ouyang Xun feel surprised, why did even Mu Rui have to defend this dragon? He couldn't figure it out.

"Actually, Senior Brother thinks about it carefully, even if there is no psychic treasure for the Dragons to sell, sooner or later the Ghost King will know the news that the internal guards of the Supervision Mansion have been killed. They came to slaughter the city, but it was only two days late. What is really wrong is the internal strife in Huicheng, and the culprit is actually our human race itself. ”
