Chapter 13: Gentleness and Strength

The sound of the second child of Ren Fu standing on the high platform and beating the gong and shouting attracted the attention of most of the people in the audience and caused an uproar.

Moli Town is a unique part of the town, and most of its residents have migrated from the three surrounding countries.

Except for a small number of people who come here for business purposes, many of them have to flee here to avoid various disputes in their original places of residence.

Therefore, the residents of Moli Town do not have the consciousness of long-term plans here, and they have to live a chaotic life every day.

The fact that the murderer was going to come to the ring aroused everyone's interest, and everyone had different opinions, and they were soon divided into two major factions, one for and one against, fighting with each other, and the atmosphere became a little intense.

Qin Xingyi pressed one arm on Xuanyuan Mingyu's chest, and the crossbow hidden in his sleeve was ready to be attacked, and he could hear the surrounding crowd arguing, forming a confrontation between the two parties with different opinions, and couldn't help but smile and asked:

"The surname Xuanyuan, did you hear that? I'm afraid your plan will fail, and if you continue to argue like this, I am afraid that there will not be enough time for tonight. ”

Xuanyuan Mingyu heard Qin Xingyi speak with a gloating tone, and was very disgusted in her heart, and said:

"So what does it matter? I can wait, there is time. It's just you, don't always secretly use a broken arrow at me, shoot if you want, if you are willing. ”

"Why are you reluctant? Do you want to be shot as a hedgehog? Well, Miss Ben will fulfill you. Qin Xingyi hated Xuanyuan Mingyu's stinky temper of hard mouth and refusal to accept softness, and pretended to scare.

Mayor Ren Sheng didn't know that Qin Xingyi was a knife mouth tofu heart at the moment, thinking that she was going to attack Xuanyuan Mingyu, so he hurriedly persuaded on the side:

"Your Highness, please calm your anger, since Prince Xuanyuan is your father-killing enemy, why don't you let him fight? If he died in the ring, wouldn't it be more satisfying, and save him from worrying about when this account will be. ”

"The owner doesn't want Xuanyuan Mingyu to die in the ring! If you want to die, you must kill him with your own hands! Mayor Ren, if you go against the will of your master, believe it or not, I'll kill him now? ”

"I believe it, of course I do." Mayor Ren Sheng said, shaking his head, but the expression on his face was not in disbelief.

Qin Xingyi saw that the mayor of the town didn't believe it, and felt a little embarrassed, turned her head to stare at Xuanyuan Mingyu's face, helped him wipe the blood on his forehead, and asked in a tangled manner:

"Don't blame me for revenge! You say, why did you want to kill my father? ”

Xuanyuan Mingyu heard Qin Xingyi's cruel words, knowing that no one could dissuade her, and the grievances she was carrying could not be defended after all, a bitter and depressed desperate thought surged in her heart, her body slowly lifted, and she said with a smile:

"I didn't kill your father, but unfortunately you don't believe it. Want revenge? Come on, shoot on point, give me a good shot! ”

The mayor of the town, Ren Sheng, saw that the situation was very dangerous, and listened to the tone of the two of them, one wanted revenge, and the other was killed voluntarily, and he had to stop them.

Mayor Ren stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Xuanyuan Mingyu's shoulder, pressed his body back to the back of the chair, and said to Qin Xingyi:

"Your Highness, whether Prince Xuanyuan really killed your father and emperor is something that needs to be clarified urgently! In case of unjust, false and wrongful convictions, people's lives are at stake, and it is too late to regret it in the future. ”

Qin Xingyi didn't want to kill Xuanyuan Mingyu immediately, and when she saw Mayor Ren holding Xuanyuan Mingyu's shoulder, she withdrew her arm, took a step back, and said:

"The owner also wants to find out if the murderer is him? It's hateful that he was injured and lost his memory, and it became a mystery. ”

"Your Highness, there was a similar case in Mo Lizhen before, and the murderer became a self-suppressed temporary amnesia because of the pressure of the crime, and refused to admit his guilt when he died. Now it seems that perhaps the situation of Prince Xuanyuan is similar to those symptoms in the past, and the mayor of this town is willing to help His Highness determine this suspicious case. ”

"If Mayor Ren can help solve the case, of course. I don't know when and where the case will be decided? The owner can't wait. ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, you have to wait for tonight's thunder gambling game to come to an end, so that you can calm down, spare your energy, and carefully judge the case."

'Well, it's up to you. However, Xuanyuan Mingyu's injuries have not healed, and if he is allowed to fight on stage, I am afraid that he will die of anger in less than one round. ”

Mayor Ren Sheng said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, Prince Xuanyuan won't die so easily." Everyone can see that his willpower surpasses ordinary people, and his fighting spirit is very strong, it is difficult to say who will die tonight, and the winner is unknown. ”

Xuanyuan Mingyu sat quietly on the chair, and felt a faint pain when he was pressed by Mayor Ren's shoulder, Mayor Ren's hand strength was not ordinary, but listening to Mayor Ren's words seemed to be able to solve the case, which was invisibly equivalent to saving himself, and he had hope in his heart, and he didn't feel that his shoulder was particularly painful.

He even fantasized that if Mayor Ren succeeded in solving the case after the gambling game in the ring tonight and helped him clear the suspicion of being a murderer, then he could get rid of Qin Xingyi and get free.

"Thank you for your concern, I won't die, and I'm still waiting for Mayor Ren to help me wash away my grievances." Xuanyuan Mingyu said with a smile.

When Qin Xingyi heard this, her face turned red unconsciously, and she wanted to refute which one cares about you? But he was too shy to speak, and thought a little swollenly: If I don't want him to die, does it mean that I care about him?

At this time, the second child of Ren Mansion stepped down from the high platform, came to the side of the town mayor Ren Sheng, and asked: "Boss, what should I do now?" The audience disagreed, should we let Xuanyuan Gongzi come on stage? ”

Mayor Ren Sheng listened to the audience divided into two factions and made a messy noise, slapped his thigh, and said:

"Second brother, how can you let go of such a good opportunity? You first go and set up a round to compare the size of the front and back of the copper coin, the front is big, and the back is small. Let these two factions bet separately, bet on whether the murderer can play, and if it is positive, let him play, kill two birds with one stone, so that it is exciting enough! ”

"Yes, Boss Clever. I'll do it. ”

The second child of Ren Fu ran back to the high platform and announced the news, and immediately everyone was very happy to follow the trend for fun, taking out the silver with all hands and feet, and the mood was very high, and some people held the silver in their hands and shouted to see the murderer.

Mayor Ren Sheng smiled smugly at the corner of his mouth, let go of the hand holding Xuanyuan Mingyu's shoulder, and said:

"Please! Prince Xuanyuan, go to the ring! Whether or not you are lucky enough to participate in the fight depends on your luck. ”

Xuanyuan Mingyu nodded, stood up with both hands on the armrests of the chair, felt top-heavy when he took a step, and reluctantly walked a few steps to the vicinity of the entrance of the VIP seat, his legs were weak, and he fell headlong.

Xuanyuan Mingyu's body did not touch the ground, because a pair of gentle red crisp hands supported him, a woman exhaled like an orchid, and asked gently: "Childe, be careful." ”

When Mayor Ren saw the new woman at the entrance, he asked in surprise, "Sister, why are you here?" ”

This woman is the sister of the mayor of Ren, named Ren Zhen, usually rarely come to the scene of the thunder gambling game, tonight because I heard that there is a princess of the West Qin Kingdom came to Moli Town, I really want to see it, so I rushed to the VIP seat in person, I didn't expect to just walk in the entrance and a teenager bumped into a full arms, so ashamed that her face was full of crimson, like the sky in the evening.

Ren Zhen bent down to support Xuanyuan Mingyu's arm, raised his head and answered Ren Sheng's question: "Brother, I'm here to meet the eldest princess of the Western Qin Kingdom, what's wrong with this person?" ”

"Sister, let him go, you don't care about this person's affairs."

"But, he just fell."

Ren Zhen refused to let go, because as soon as she let go, that person would fall to the ground.

Mayor Ren grimaced, paced to Xuanyuan Mingyu's side, and asked, "What's the matter?" Can't you walk? A person who can't even walk still has to fight, just kidding, right? ”

When Xuanyuan Mingyu was about to fall, he was kindly supported by Ren Zhen, and he was very grateful, so he endured his dizziness and said, "Miss Ren, thank you." ”

"Childe, what's polite? Didn't fall to injury, did you? Can you stand up? Ren Zhen asked three times in a row, and her gentle words were full of concern, although she was a stranger, after all, she met in the VIP seat, and she couldn't be rude.

"I'm fine."

Xuanyuan Mingyu slowly climbed up, knelt on the ground with the uninjured leg, and finally stood up with Ren Zhen's support, with a triumphant smile on his face, and said, "Look, I can stand up." ”

"yes, you can do it." Ren Zhen was relieved, said casually, and let go of the hand that was holding him.

Ren Zhen's gentleness and Qin Xingyi's rigidity are in stark contrast, one is gentle like water, and the other is strong as iron.

Qin Xingyi sighed in her heart: The surname Xuanyuan, just like you look like a bear, do you still want to take the opportunity to escape? Don't be reckless, it's better to die as soon as possible, listen to Miss Ben's words obediently, and spare you for the time being.

The mayor of the town, Ren Sheng, waved his hand and beckoned Ren Mansion Lao Qi to come over, and helped Xuanyuan Mingyu to climb the steps of the high platform.

There are red lanterns at the four corners of the high platform, and there are torches around it, which shines brightly up and down the ring.

Xuanyuan Mingyu thanked the seventh man of Renfu for his help, walked to the center of the high platform alone, glanced at the black and oppressive audience under the stage, and stood there proudly.

Qin Xingyi and Ren Zhen's two pairs of bright eyes were all focused on Xuanyuan Mingyu's body, and the four eyes reflected a unique brilliance.

Ren Zhen admired this young man's stubbornness very much, he almost fell down and couldn't get up just now, but now with an indomitable spirit, he stood alone on the high platform majestically, Qin Xingyi looked up at Xuanyuan Mingyu's majestic figure, and the hatred in his heart gradually faded, and was replaced by the love that came to his heart. This feeling of liking made Qin Xingyi very surprised, and she thought in her heart:

- It doesn't make sense! Shouldn't I hate him?

- But how nice it would be if he wasn't his father's killer! In that case, I can give him a chance to confess the misunderstanding that happened four years ago, and then, write off the past grudges, and the two of them join hands to laugh proudly, what a pleasant thing it would be!
