"Are you sure she has a red thread on her neck, and she was cut by a sword?"
Tang Yu nodded and said, "There is no misidentification." ”
"That's weird." Jiang Yuanzhong said, "There are not many people on the rivers and lakes who can make the sword so fast. ”
"For example, Murong Jingxue?" Su Muxian interjected.
It can't be blamed that she has no knowledge, after all, Murong Jingxue's name of the divine sword is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the first thing that comes to her mind when she mentions the person who uses the sword is him.
Xiao Er shook his head and said, "It can't be him." ”
Tang Yuyi was curious: "Why did you conclude that it wasn't him?" ”
"Because the sword is too red." Jiang Yuanzhong explained, "If it were Murong Jingxue, there would never be blood lines left on the deceased's body. ”
He said as if he was feeling and as if declaring, "His sword is too fast. ”
It was so close that the corpses of the opponents were separated, and it was not until the moment the corpse fell to the ground that the skull rolled away and the blood gushed out.
Tang Yu looked at him sideways and asked, "You seem to know Murong Jingxue very well?" ”
Jiang Yuanzhong knew that he had aroused his suspicions, so he replied simply: "I don't know, I heard rumors from the rivers and lakes." ”
Tang Yu rolled his eyes and touched his chin, looking like he was thinking.
Su Muxian tugged at Jiang Yuanzhong's sleeve and asked, "Do you go on, who else in the rivers and lakes makes the sword powerful?" ”
Jiang Yuan glanced at Tang Yu again and continued: "The person who killed Zhang Baihe, the top three killers in the Bloody Clothes Sect, Liu Xiaowan, the Dusk Cloud Sword Master, and several heads of the sect who came recently, can do it. ”
Su Muxian scratched her hair and muttered, "...... I don't know what you're talking about, but that's not much? ”
Jiang Yuanzhong: "......"
Jiang Yuanzhong: "Let's take a look at how many people use swords in the entire martial arts." ”
"Oh, that's right."
Thinking about the so-called swordsmen who can't even put out all the moves on weekdays and always likes to carry a sword around their waists to play handsome, Su Muxian feels that he is quite reasonable.
"These are all on the surface, as for whether there are nameless and unknown swordsmen, I don't know."
The tea in the cup had long since lost its temperature, and he took a sip, his fingertips rubbing the lines at the bottom of the cup, as if he had found something extremely interesting.
"But I don't understand." After listening to him, Su Muxian said puzzledly, "Listening to your words, Miss Zhao must have died at the hands of people in the rivers and lakes." But she has never been involved with the people of the rivers and lakes, why did she die suddenly? ”
"Maybe it's because she covets other people's beauty but doesn't want to hit a hard nail?" Tang Yu listened to it for a long time, and when he opened his mouth, it was an inappropriate cold joke.
Su Muxian glared at him, and Tang Yu raised his hands to signal that he would shut up obediently.
"Okay, okay, I won't interject."
Jiang Yuanzhong lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, and said in a flat tone: "Most of the people in the rivers and lakes act without scruples, maybe she just accidentally provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked." ”
"Well, that's ......."
The voice grew quieter, and the lobby fell silent again.
The candles on the table burned silently, occasionally crackling. The light of the fire was faint, and the intertwined shadows of the three of them were reflected on the wall.
Although no one said anything, Miss Zhao's death did cast a shadow on the hearts of the three of them to a greater or lesser extent.
It's not a good sign that someone died before the Sword Tournament really began.
Jiang Yuanzhong stared at the constantly beating flames and squinted, and casually pulled a chopstick from the bamboo tube and picked the candle wick. Seeing Su Muxian propping her head on the table, her head falling down little by little, although her eyes were still looking at him with her eyes open hard, she had a tendency to gradually close, and couldn't help patting her shoulder.
"If you're sleepy, go to sleep."
Su Muxian shook his head with a strong sleepiness: "I'm not sleepy......"
The news of Miss Zhao's death made her very uneasy, even if she was very sleepy at this time, how could she sleep peacefully.
His gaze stayed on the light blue under her eyes for a while, and Jiang Yuanzhong said: "Zhao Yuan's outside the city can be said to be thorough, and his beloved daughter is dead, and he will not stop until he finds out." It's useless for you to think nonsense here, maybe you will know the truth in a few days. ”
Thinking back to Zhao Yuanwai's consistent domineering style, and then contacting the group of fast catchers he saw before, Su Muxian nodded thoughtfully.
Jiang Yuanzhong stretched out his hand to dust off a grain of rice that stuck to her sleeve at some point, stood up and said lightly: "Go to sleep, don't worry about encountering something like Miss Zhao, there are so many people in the inn, if something happens, you just shout loudly." ”
Su Muxian: "...... So what if someone comes up and covers my mouth? ”
Jiang Yuanzhong was silent for a moment and said, "If you are really not at ease, you can sleep with Miss Hu." ”
With Hu Xiaodie's ability, she is really in danger, and it is more than enough to protect her.
"Hu Xiaodie's woman's sleeping appearance is not good at all." Tang Yuyi muttered on the side.
After speaking, he seemed to be a thief, and secretly glanced at the corner of the stairs to confirm that his complaint was not heard by the party.
Su Muxian waved her hand and said, "No need, Miss Hu is asleep, and I don't want to disturb her." I'll go back to my room now. ”
She stood up and stretched, stretching her aching muscles and bones, and as she walked up her feet towards the stairs, she whispered, "You two go to bed early, remember to put the stool back in place, and don't forget to extinguish the candle when you go." ”
When she turned the staircase, she paused, and vaguely heard Tang Yuyi's voice downstairs: "Brother Jiang, I have something I want to talk to you about......"
The voice is not loud, and the last few words are not very clear.
Su Muxian turned around to look, and just a moment before she went upstairs, the candles in the lobby had been extinguished, and the two people who spoke were gone.
The two big men whispered in the middle of the night, and there must be something strange in it.
Maybe I inadvertently witnessed their adultery/love.
She covered her mouth and yawned, then shook her head and shook her head away from these boring thoughts.
Go to sleep, go to sleep, just think that these useless things can make money.
……
Tang Yuyi followed Jiang Yuan into the backyard.
The moonlight was like water, gently spreading on the ground, as if it had been plated with a layer of silver. The large grinding plate is quietly placed in the corner of the yard, exuding a faint bean fragrance; The coop had only been sacked once in the previous two days, and now there were only two old hens that laid eggs, and occasionally they flapped their wings, and the slightest movement was particularly clear in the quiet of the night.
No one took the lead to speak, and in the quiet courtyard, the breathing of the two sounded longer and longer.
Jiang Yuan stood with his back to Tang Yuyi, was silent for a long time, and said, "What do you want to talk to me about?" ”
Tang Yuyi stood behind him and didn't move, looked at his back bathed in moonlight, and said: "Whether it is the gossip of the rivers and lakes you said, or the unintentional performance of your usual work, it shows that you are not an ordinary person. ”
Jiang Yuanzhong's voice raised slightly: "Oh? ”
"I didn't pay attention before, but when you spoke just now, I thought about it carefully, and the more I looked, the more I realized that you were full of suspicions. If my guess is right, you should be able to martial arts, and not low. ”
"Oh?"
Tang Yuyi: "......"
Tang Yuyi: "Oh, you're a ghost, can you give me some other reaction?!" ”
Jiang Yuan glanced at him sideways, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then what reaction do you want to see?" ”
"According to the normal plot, shouldn't you kill and not admit it, and then teach me a lesson in order to kill your mouth? Why don't you follow the routine! ”
Jiang Yuanzhong: "......"
This bear child is not very sick.
After thinking secretly for a few seconds, he said, "It's late at night, if Tang Gongzi has nothing to do, he should rest early." ”
"No way!" Tang Yuyi determined from his reaction that he was a hidden master, as if he had just discovered a new continent, and he was eager to try to compete with him.
"You must be lurking in the inn to do something shady, come and accompany the master to practice two newly learned moves, I won't tell your secret to the shopkeeper."
Jiang Yuanzhong reluctantly resisted his forehead, he really didn't want to waste a lot of time and not sleep, but spent it here with a certain second goods with a lack of brains. Before he could come up with a solution, Tang Yuyi's hidden weapon behind him came out.
"Look at the move!"
“…… Hehe. ”
……
When I woke up early in the morning, I felt that something was wrong.
Su Muxian sat behind the counter and looked at the empty lobby in a daze, her eyes followed Hu Xiaodie's busy figure, and she always felt that something seemed to be missing.
After a while, he clapped his hands and said, "That's right, Tang Yuyi!" ”
Hu Xiaodie was sweeping the floor, and when she heard this, she straightened up and stretched out her finger to the backyard, and said, "Stay there, I guess I won't be able to move for a while." ”
What does it mean? What do you mean you can't move for a while?
Su Muxian couldn't figure out the intention of what she said, so she leaned on the wall, lifted the curtain and glanced into the courtyard.
"Hahaha, Emma Tang Yuyi, what are you tossing? Not to mention this shape, it's pretty good-looking. ”
She circled around Tang Yu and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
Tang Yuyi was still wearing yesterday's clothes, maintaining the posture of holding the sky with one hand and the ground with the other, and the golden rooster stood independently in the center of the courtyard, with a unique posture like an eternal statue. His eyes were blue, and the guide looked big and small now, and he was no longer as handsome as before.
Su Muxian was still laughing mercilessly, reaching out and poking his arm, although his eyes were still moving, he lost the ability to dodge, and he couldn't even speak, so he could only watch her do whatever she wanted.
Su Muxian sighed: "Emma, this is the point of legend in the rivers and lakes, it is really magical." I don't know which brother is so talented, this pose is very artistic. ”
After looking at it for a long time, she suddenly reacted, patted her head and said, "Oh no, who ordered this acupoint?" ”
