Chapter 32: Provocation
"So, what's going on with my subordinates?"
It is rare that the sky is sunny after the snow, and the sun is warm, Lu Li smiled lightly, and his side face seemed to be condensed with a layer of jade fat, shining.
Zhao Shu paused for a moment and did not answer. He took two steps forward past Lu Li, looking at the snowdrifts that melted slightly in the distance, revealing the wet earth, and his voice was very empty and distant, "What do you thinkβwhat kind of person am I?" β
He put his hands behind his back, his chin slightly raised, his lips pursed, and his facial lines as hard as a knife and an axe. His back is tall and strong, and his imposing momentum is unique.
Regardless of the look in his eyes, Zhao Zhu once showed a kind of noble contempt, Lu Li always felt that his background must be extraordinary, but at this moment, looking at the back of this man, he suddenly felt a little ...... Alone.
This man is strong and proud, but he is a lone wolf, and he may have subordinates, but at this moment, now, he must have no friends to sit and drink with.
I don't know why, Lu Li just thinks so.
He took two steps forward and stood beside Zhao Zhu, "At first...... I think you are a veteran, but after getting along, I found that you are very imposing, calm, and calm, and I think you are at least an officer...... I don't know, striker, major general? The level of the circle between the two people is too different, and the faint questioning in Lu Li's voice became weak, and he once again thought that he had nothing worthy of Zhao Shu's ulterior motives to approach and deceive.
"Striker...... Major general? There seemed to be some self-deprecating sarcasm in Zhao Zhu's voice, "Do you think I am?" β
The speculation offended him. Lu Li had such a feeling, and he looked down on him. But he is not familiar with the military official system, what kind of height Zhao Shu should be, he really can't guess, but no matter what, "You should ...... Got a subordinate? β
Zhao Zhu looked at the sky, and his voice was low, "That secret place is about an ancient tomb, and there are many organs inside, and I have seen a lot of corpses." I was trapped inside and couldn't get out, and finally broke through a wall and saved two ...... People, we rushed out together, and after that, we met the stars. β
Zhao Shu avoided the important and lightly, and hinted at the direction of the topic with his language and demeanor, "I don't know him, if it weren't for the traces you found on the beam before, I wouldn't have caught him back." β
He subconsciously didn't explain his identity to Lu Li, and as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it a little, and his brows were furrowed very tightly. He is a dignified prince and generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and there is no need to hide his identity wherever he goes, but he actually avoids Lu Li's question!
Avoidance is avoidance, sometimes it is very troublesome for a high-ranking person to reveal his identity when he walks around the market, but he immediately regrets this behavior!
Zhao Shu was a little impetuous.
He has known about this marriage since he was a child, he has been very repulsive since he was a child, and even hopes that this fiancΓ©e will disappear to reduce trouble, but when they met by chance, this teenager was very interesting, and found a reasonable excuse for him to get close to observe.
The boy has a kind of innocence that doesn't know the world, and he also has a kind of intelligence that is close to the demon, which is very contradictory, but also unique and outstanding enough. He still didn't want to marry him, but it's a pity to lose such a talent......
Zhao Shu quickly found a reason for himself, adjusted his mentality, and turned his head to look at Lu Li.
Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his obsidian-like eyes shone with dazzling brilliance, he was thinking, thinking very seriously.
Zhao Zhu's gaze stopped, and he forgot to move away for a while.
"You have amnesia, so it's not surprising that someone has come to you...... But you only saved two people, and Xingxing deliberately induced me, he was sowing discord...... The first time he saw you and me, he was able to analyze our relationship and plan to divide the relationship, and he was very smart...... The murder at Ciguang Temple had nothing to do with picking stars, he was at most an eyewitness, but he was unwilling to cooperate, unwilling to provide any clues, and even mentioned that there were large mountains of corpses around him...... Ancient tombs, to the west, there must beβ"
Lu Li looked up at Zhao Zhu suddenly, "There must be a big secret between this Ciguang Temple and the ancient tomb, and picking up stars is related to this secret!" "Picking the stars is so mysterious, are you also hesitating to let him know this secret?
Lu Li's face was covered with sunlight, his eyes were shining, and his expression was indescribably vivid and dazzling, Zhao Shu seemed to have been stabbed, and he squinted and turned his head, "Maybe." β
"It must be so!" Lu Li smashed his palm, "Look in this direction, we will definitely find the murderer!" But before we can do that, we have to find out the cemetery......" He thought about it, and left in a hurry to discuss with Huang Xianling.
Xing Zuo, who was eavesdropping on the eaves, covered his mouth and laughed, "He actually said that the prince is a striker hahahahaha......"
"Be quiet." Hong You reminded with a smile.
"But the prince didn't blame...... Xiaoyou, our princess is very powerful, she must hug her thighs! You don't know, my heart hangs when I heard him ask us just now! β
"He's not a princess yet."
"Yes, I called it once, and the prince was not happy."
Seeing that Xing Zuo was a little wilted, Hong You patted his head, "Maybe one day, you won't be angry if you don't call the princess." β
"Really?"
"Really."
β¦β¦
Seeing Lu Li's figure leave, Zhao Shu reached out and twisted his wrist. His eyes grew colder, almost bloodthirsty.
He pushed open the door to the room.
Picking stars greeted with a smile, "Yo, have you coaxed a little love?" β
Zhao Zhu's eyebrows furrowed, he didn't like this title very much.
He took two steps forward, and suddenly his eyes sharpened, and his figure jumped out like lightning, and his palm slashed down like a knife!
Xing Xingmeng stepped back and lowered his body, almost touching the ground, but he was still swept by the palm wind, he kicked down the pillar with his feet, and quickly made a small turn, and did a three-week flip before leaving Zhao Zhu's attack.
He held up his hands, still tied together, and smiled a little flatteringly, "Look, I'm still tied!" "There was a swollen lump on the side of his delicate face, and it looked extremely funny.
Zhao Zhu's expression was indifferent, and his teeth seemed to glow with cold light, just like a wolf on the grassland, about to bite the neck of his prey, and said slowly, "You can't beat me, even if you untie the rope, you won't dare to run." "But the king is very unhappy, and even if you keep that poor rope, I will beat you!
Zhao Zhu turned his palm into a claw, and after making a gesture, the person attacked.
Picking up the stars and carrying light skills, jumping around the room, his figure was almost dazzling, full of double shadows, not only on the ground, all around, and even on the roof was his silver-white figure.
Zhao Shu snorted coldly, he didn't know how to get it, and the figure flashed, and he dragged the person into his hand and beat him in the face.
His hand was like some sticky silk, and he couldn't shake it off, and he couldn't dodge left and right when picking stars, so he simply blocked his face and let him hit enough.
It's a pity that it can't be stopped......
Zhao Shu beat him for a while before tying the person to the chair again, "Now, can you say it?" β
Picking Xing's face was blue and purple, even the beautiful peach blossom eyes were deformed, the corners of his mouth twitched in pain, and he smiled cheaply, "Of course, which of us is with whom, and we are friends in adversity...... The love is deep, right, no matter how smart your little love is, it is not our card. β
Zhao Zhuliang's thin and sharp gaze turned.
Picking up the star and shrinking, "I really don't know, that night was just a casual trip, just saw the dead body, didn't see any murderer, chatting with your little love is full of fun, that's why I teased him......"
Zhao Shu squinted, "Interesting?" β
Picking the star immediately rolled his eyes, "It's boring, it's boring!" You've beaten me, I promise you won't dare! An ambiguous smile appeared on his face, "You want to play pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, of course I don't want to harm you, but ...... Are you sure this game is fun? Don't kill chickens and rice. β
Zhao Shu didn't speak, and glanced at Xingxing. The gaze seems calm, but there is an endless threat buried inside.
Xingxing smiled, "I know you regret arresting me, but don't worry, I will be obedient and promise not to talk nonsense." β
β¦β¦
Lu Li didn't interrogate Xingxing again until the evening, because he felt that Xingxing had a plan, and he would definitely not tell the truth, so it was better to dry it again. He had been waiting for the feedback from Huang County's order, especially about the west, but there was no response at night, so he had no choice but to sleep first.
Who let him have no martial arts, the terrain to the west is too complicated, and the time is late, and he can't go at all if he is not sure about safety.
Thankfully, Zhao Zhu didn't go out tonight.
When Lu Li went to the thatched house for the last time before going to bed, Zhao Zhu happened to go out to solve this problem, and the two touched each other's faces.
Lu Li smiled very sincerely.
It is impossible to say that the words of the star have no effect on him at all, but no matter how he analyzes, he can't find the possibility that Zhao Shu is deliberately deceiving him. Even if Zhao Shu remembers something better, even if his subordinates find it, who can't have a *? Maybe he can't say anything about it? Maybe there are a lot of things involved, and it will be dangerous to know it, so he can't say it?
There are many, many possibilities, and he is willing to believe Zhao Zhu, but he is not without regrets in his heart. Because this means that Zhao Shu doesn't trust him.
But the trust of people is a long-term process, especially between smart people, he can't ask people who have known each other for less than a month to trust each other to the process of handing over the back.
But he was still worried about Zhao Zhu.
The more powerful the person, the more he will be with danger, and when Zhao Shu remembers it all, it may be the time when the two are separated. finally has some friendship, Zhao Shu is gone, he will be worried, just like last night, he didn't sleep well......
"Rest well." Lu Li grimaced at Zhao Zhu, "Don't let me worry." β
Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment before frowning and nodding, "Hypocritical." β
Lu Li yelled at his back, "Phew! I'm worried about what kind of hypocrisy you have! β
Zhao Zhu walked forward without looking back, worried about the king, silently worried about the care, I had to say it, and said that it was not deliberately to make people worry about it......
Zhao Shu recalled the people in his memory who wanted to seduce him with worry, all of them used worried eyes, expressions of action that wanted to say goodbye, and wanted to lead him to ask, only to reveal his heart and try to lead him to pity...... That's right, normal people are like that.
Lu Li...... It's still too tender.
But Lu Li has seven tricks in his heart, and he is very exquisite, and he said that it is because he likes himself as a person, or is it ...... Guessed something?
Zhao Shu doesn't know, he can't see it yet, but he is quite confident in himself, even if he doesn't have the blessing of identity, he is also a powerful and outstanding man, and it is normal for him to be liked by others......
Early the next morning, Lu Li subconsciously went to find Zhao Zhu. Zhao Shu was already fully dressed, and looked at his face with disgust, "Go wash up." β
Lu Li saw that his gaze kept lingering in his eyes...... Do you have eye droppings?
He rubbed his eyes, anyway, Zhao Shu was here, "Let's eat together in a while!" With that, he ran back to his room.
Zhao Zhu stood up with his arms crossed, his eyebrows raised.
You actually got up early in the morning and ran to see him without doing anything, and you miss him like this......
This day's meal was still brought by Shen Wansha personally to the Zhaifang, and when he came back, he also brought a big news, "The Huang County Order has sealed the courtyard of the Young Master of the Meng Family!" β
"Why?" Lu Li looked surprised.
Huang Xianling is a very measured person, and with Meng Qian's identity, he will not make excessive moves for no reason.
"It was said that the catchers searched the aconitum from Yu Shi's room." Shen Wansha tore the flower roll and ate it, "Aconite, remember?" Didn't the two of us find a piece of aconitum together yesterday? The characteristics of the aconitum in the Yushi room are similar to those in the field, and the catchers investigated the scene and found that some traces of the aconitum were very new, and they should have just been dug up. β
Lu Li had a faint smile on his face, and his voice was slightly sarcastic, "Aconitum ...... Yesterday we just found out about this clue, and today someone appeared in the room and was designated as a suspect. β
"There is physical evidence, Huang County's order is not good for selfishness, I discussed it with Young Master Meng, sealed the courtyard, except for Young Master Meng, the others cannot leave the courtyard for the time being, and promised to find out the facts quickly, and at the same time asked Young Master Meng to cooperate and explain the pregnancy of the maid pomegranate." Shen Wansha finished talking about the matter over there of Huang County, and looked at Lu Li, "You seem to think...... What a coincidence? β
"You have to know what kind of hatred Meng Qian's master and servant three and the five deceased have, there is not enough motive, and no murder case can be arbitrarily decided." Lu Li's voice was slow.
"But Wang Dexing has already treated Meng Qian's master and servant as criminals." Shen Wansha couldn't help but smile when he thought of that picture, "Today, Huang County will probably make trouble over there for a long time, do you want to go and see it?" β
Shen Wansha's eyes flashed with gossip excitement, but Lu Li was not interested, "I can't find a motive, it's still early, I want to go west today." β
Speaking of this, Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu, "I heard that the terrain in the west is a little steep and not very safe, can Brother Zhao accompany me?" β
Zhao Zhu hummed from above, with an arrogant look of 'since you begged me, I would reluctantly agree'.
The corners of Lu Li's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but scold.
Zhao Zhu is this virtue, he has already seen it.
Shen Wansha immediately raised his hand, "I'll go too, I'll go!" β
Lu Li asked him, "Don't you go to Huang Xianling to see the excitement?" β
Shen Wansha shook his head, "You're not here for anything." I suddenly remembered, didn't that star pick talk about the ancient tomb? I once read a legend in the county annals...... Little oak, do you know the ancient kingdom of Nanzhao? βγ
