Chapter Twenty-Three: Confusing
The night is darker, and the moon is shining.
The moonlight was at the end of the stone path, and the man was in the moonlight. The night breeze rises, and when you look at it from a distance, the moonlight falls on the sleeves, which is somewhat beautiful. Take a closer look, the sleeves are a little broken through the moonlight.
Bu Xihuan stood far away, such as Yunhua's sleeves were burned out of large and small holes by lime powder, and the moonlight was transparent, which was a little funny. He stared at Twilight, his eyes darker than the night.
Good! Good! He really underestimated her.
Twilight ducked behind the literati, the knife pressed against his neck, his hands trembling.
She's got it, finally!
Tonight, she explored the Shi Mansion at night, and was accidentally poisoned and was caught in a predicament, which coincided with the murder of the Shi Mansion, so she took the opportunity to recommend herself, hoping to find a chance to escape. It's just that I didn't expect to see this literati who was suspected of Chen Youliang, she wanted to rob people in the courtyard at that time, but there were four masters around her, and the woman in green would also use poison, which was very tricky. She knew that she couldn't defeat four with one and robbed the literati in front of the four people, so she had to conduct an autopsy to find the murderer, pretending to be obedient, and waiting for the opportunity.
The emperor is worthy of it, this opportunity was finally waited for by her!
Just now, she said that to extract the footprints, she wants lime powder and water. In fact, the use of gypsum to extract the footprints is not lime, she lied.
Gypsum crystallizes when it encounters water to extract the footprint, and lime is only extremely corrosive when it encounters water.
She asked for lime in order to use it as a secret weapon to suddenly attack and hijack this literati.
As she expected, her previous autopsy and murder had already made the man recognize and have a temporary trust. She sent the little guy to track down the mud traces, and the inference was not perfunctory, so the little guy did as she was told. She sent the man in black into the water to fish for the bloody clothes and the murder weapon, and the inference about the bloody clothes and the murder weapon was also true, so the man in black went into the water. She told the woman in green to fetch the lime, which was a lie, but everyone believed her, so her time came.
In fact, she originally wanted the woman to go into the water, she used poison without permission, and it was a high threat for her to stay on the shore, but it is estimated that she would not be allowed to let a woman dive in front of a man with her clothes wet. So she had to coax the man in black into the water, and there was one less threat.
Fortunately, she was quite smooth when she shot just now.
The masked man, the boy in green and the woman in green were all armed with martial arts, and they were suddenly attacked by her, and the three of them retreated extremely quickly, leaving only the literati who didn't know martial arts to the side, and fell into her hands!
"Chen Youliang, Lord Chen! Well? Twilight was behind the literati, her voice cold.
The literati only felt a chill on the side of his neck, but he didn't show a frightened look, he only sighed with complicated eyes, and said, "That's right, it's this official." β
Twilight squinted, the hand holding the knife tightened, her nails stabbed her palms, and it took her a lot of calm to keep herself from slashing this person's neck with the knife! Now it is not confirmed that her father's death is related to Chen Youliang, so she can't kill indiscriminately. Besides, she is still in the Assassin's Mansion at the moment, and she has to rely on him if she wants to get out of the mansion. Now that there are a lot of enemies, she can't be distracted to ask Chen Youliang here, she can only take him out of the Assassin's Mansion and talk about it.
"Who am I, Master Chen must have seen it, so I don't need to report my home, right?"
"You're the daughter of Dusk Mountain."
Twilight snorted, and sure enough, she had already seen it. When she saw this literati, she knew that if he was Chen Youliang, he would definitely be able to see through her identity as soon as she conducted an autopsy. But it didn't matter then, she was no longer afraid of being seen through her identity. This case is very important to them, she is useful to them, and her identity will not be in danger for the time being.
"You kidnapped the official to avenge your father?" Chen Youliang suddenly asked, his tone in the night wind seemed to sigh, as if he was stunned, "This official has no intention of killing your father, but in the end, your father died because of this official." β
Twilight was stunned, what does it mean to die because of him?
But it was this distraction that suddenly a green shadow came behind him! Twilight turned her back to the pool, and she didn't see the shadow, only the faint magnolia fragrance. The aroma is not strong, but Twilight has a keen sense of smell, she used to take a course when she was abroad, the professor took them to the dissection room, blindfolded, and let them distinguish whether there was any abnormality on the corpses that had just died by smell, so Twilight Qing was extremely sensitive to smells, and the moment she smelled the magnolia incense, she took Chen Youliang to the rockery next to the stone path to take refuge, and protected herself with the help of the mountain stones and hostages!
"If you act recklessly, before you capture me, I will definitely be able to kill this dog officer on the spot!" Twilight snorted coldly, and a green shadow flew overhead.
Wei Zhuozhi landed in the distance, blocking the stone path with Bu Xihuan alone, with surprise in his eyes. After he was attacked just now, he retreated, and went around the back of the pool for most of the time, but it took only a moment, his light skills have always come and gone silently, and this girl was able to find out in time!
Twilight Qing glanced at Wei Zhuo, then looked at Chen Youliang in front of him, and sneered: "Lord Thorn Shi is so calculating!" β
Deliberately made the words unclear and distracted her to guess?
Chen Youliang sighed, Twilight couldn't see his expression, but his tone was quite melancholy, "Your father ......"
"Shut up!" Twilight stopped drinking, it wasn't that she didn't want to listen, but she couldn't listen now, and the consequence of her distraction was that everything she did tonight was in vain. She turned her head and looked at Wei Zhuozhi coldly, "Tell your maid to come out!" If you don't want this dog official to die, let her stop playing tricks! β
"You said that Moon Shadow didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, I thought you did. You just sprinkled most of the lime powder on Pothos, and her dress burned to the point that it was almost rotten, and I asked her to change her dress and come back. β
Moon Shadow refers to the man in black, and the green pothos should be talking about the maid in green.
Twilight Qing stared at Wei Zhuozhi's expression, and saw that his shoulders shook, and the fan spread out, and the body language actually showed that he was telling the truth! That's right, when she did it just now, she was afraid of the poison of the pothos, and most of the lime powder beckoned to her, and she just wanted to hold her back for a while, so that she could rob Chen Youliang by Shun, and she never thought that she could trap her until now. But thinking that the pothos would come back, Twilight Qing used all her strength to force Chen Youliang's neck, and said coldly: "Lord Thorn Shi, lead the way!" β
Chen Youliang didn't say a word, only turned his eyes and looked at Bu Xihuan.
"Stand back, don't come forward, don't follow, don't move." Twilight Qing avoided behind Chen Youliang, glanced left and right at Bu Xihuan and Wei Zhuozhi, the night was deep, the mist gradually rose at the end of the road, the young man was half-bowed, only half of his face was exposed, his eyes were like frost and snow under the moon, and his figure was like a leopard. She raised her eyes and glanced at Chen Youliang, and her instructions were equally concise, "When you go out of the house, don't speak, don't hesitate, don't go around." From now on, do as instructed, make a mistake once, and open an inch on your neck! β
After that, Twilight Qing reached Chen Youliang's waist and motioned for him to go.
Chen Youliang sighed, took a step, and walked onto the stone path.
He walked in the direction of Bu Xihuanβ
Off topic β
Yesterday, a lot of girls said they couldn't understand why Twilight suddenly made a move, and this chapter explains it.
She didn't know Bu Xihuan and others, she was trapped in their hands, and there was no reason to sincerely help them find the murderer. The hard work in front was just a fake obedience, hoping that the other party would relax her vigilance so that she could escape from the Assassin's Mansion.
Is there anything else you don't understand?
