Chapter 249: Breaking the Falsehood
When night falls, in Jiangxia City under the dark night, the lights are not as bright as Jinling, the two cities of Jiangling are still brightly lit even at night, in Jiangxia City under the dark night, the streets have long been sparsely populated, and a large area of darkness and occasional faint light emanates from the window next to it.
As for the pedestrians on the street, at a glance, there are no pedestrians in sight, and when you stay on the street, you can only listen to the cold wind whistling past your ears.
And although Jiangxia City looks like this at night, if you look down from the sky directly above Jiangxia City, you can still see a bright light flickering there in the center of Jiangxia City.
Although it is not big, it is bright and bright, and the Tao can be regarded as attracting attention.
And the place where the light flickered was also the location of the Jiangxia City County Guard.
In other words, it is the place where Liang Ji lives and works every day, and the lights are still bright even when the surrounding houses are dark.
At this time, at the gate of the county guard's mansion, the obese Liang Ji was walking with a swaying step, exuding a drunken appearance all over his body, and finally walked into the gate of the county guard's mansion with the support of the people of the county guard's mansion on the side.
"If you want me to say, hey, hey, where do we need such a huge military expenditure in Jiangxia City, it's better to move some money and put it in our own pockets, no matter how we say it, we have worked hard for Jiangxia City for so many years, and we should, hiccup, enjoy the blessings, you say, are we right?"
Liang Ji's head was fluttering at this time, if it weren't for the fact that there were four or five subordinates from the county guard around him to support him, he estimated that a dog would have stepped on the air by now.
The subordinates of the county guard on the side listened to their master's rather bold words, so they could only hold a smile and echo the arrogant words said by their master.
But among these subordinates, there was a tall and thin man with a thin face, after hearing Liang Ji say this, his eyes narrowed slightly, although he quickly laughed out loud like the other subordinates, but his momentary stagnation was a bit strange.
This change was naturally observed by Qi Wuxian, who was secretly monitoring this scene not far from the county guard's mansion, Qi Wuxian licked his lips, and one hand gently patted the same hidden smile beside him, and whispered to the tall and thin man who was pointing at the tall and thin man with a smile
"Don't you think, this guy is a little suspicious?"
Suddenly, he smiled and nodded, although he said that he didn't see it clearly, but in general, he also had a trace of doubt in his heart about the tall and thin man.
"Let's take a look at it again, don't startle the snake, after all, our mission this time is not to search for the spy hiding next to Liang Junshou, but to investigate the matter of the dagger."
Suddenly, he smiled in his heart about the tall and thin man identified by Qi Wuxian, in fact, he already had some judgment of his own in his heart, but because of the white-faced scholar's words, he still persuaded Qi Wuxian to temporarily endure this curiosity.
Perhaps, the white-faced scholar had already observed the strangeness of the tall and thin man, and if the two of them made a rash decision, wouldn't they have some intention of disrupting the white-faced scholar's original plan?
Still, it's better to be safe, about the tall and thin man, you can wait until the next time you talk to the white-faced scholar, and now, the two of them should focus on the investigation task with the dagger first.
"You're right, then, look, do you think the reason why Liang Ji has been lingering in Fireworks Willow Lane these days is that there are some different schemes from time to time? Now, anyway, I don't have an accurate number, just looking at this one, and there is still some distance from it, I don't dare to make a conclusion, it's too hasty. ”
Qi Wuxian frowned, in the words that the white-faced scholar said before, there were also some opinions and suspicions that he had made about Liang Ji who had been lingering in Fireworks Willow Lane for a while, which naturally attracted his attention.
Liang Ji's file is backed up in their Jinyiwei archives, and he also made a special trip to the archives before going north to extract Liang Ji's files and temporarily looked through Liang Ji's personal deeds, so Qi Wuxian was still very surprised that Liang Ji would do this kind of thing that was obsessed with gentleness.
Because judging from the records in the archives, Liang Ji's archives never mentioned that he personally liked or went to such places, and even before that, Liang Ji was a drunken guy.
Honest and fair, this is Liang Ji's evaluation of him on his own file, and it is precisely because of these evaluations that the people of the Nanli Empire will let him, a son of a poor family from the grassroots, take up such a critical position as the county guard of Jiangxia County, which is the northern gate of the Nanli Empire.
Liang Ji, who was born in poverty and worked hard for half his life to climb to the position of county guard, suddenly turned into a decadent fat man who indulged in gentle township.
If you really want to say that there is no special reason, Qi Wuxian doesn't believe it, but he will definitely not be stunned and rashly make a judgment directly.
So his decision was to observe what kind of person Liang Ji was first, and then make a judgment, but now it seems that he still can't see a reason.
Therefore, at this time, Qi Wuxian still needs a while to observe Liang Ji, as well as the opinions of others on Liang Ji, and suddenly smiled, just such a candidate.
Suddenly, he smiled and pursed his lips, and his eyes were also slightly frozen at this moment, looking at Liang Ji with a good look.
"This guy, I can't see anything unusual, but I always feel that this Liang Ji will definitely not be so simple, he must be hiding something unknown."
The words that suddenly laughed came from the reason why they supervised the hundred officials of the Jinji Division, so for Liang Ji, the county guard, the Jinsi also had some archives, but this so-called archive was not as detailed as Jinyiwei's archives.
Although it is not very detailed, it can still be determined that Liang Ji, the county guard of Jiangxia, will definitely not be just such a guy who is addicted to beauty and wine, he will definitely not be so simple.
It's an air of conspiracy.
As soon as this thought appeared in Suddenly's heart, he couldn't help but shudder, and then subconsciously turned his head to look at Qi Wuxian, and Qi Wuxian happened to be looking at him at this time.
The eyes of the two of them met like this, looking at each other, Qi Wuxian nodded, and said
"In that case, let's observe one or two more, and after a while, we will sneak into the county guard mansion through the side door, waiting for an opportunity to investigate, and see if we can find some clues that the white-faced scholar predecessors did not notice that day."
Now it seems that the two can only do this.
Anyway, the white-faced scholar only explained to them the matter of investigating the evil dagger, and it has nothing to do with Liang Ji now, and if Qi Wuxian's guess is correct.
The white-faced scholar should be near them now, secretly monitoring Liang Ji's every move now.
It's just that the cultivation of the white-faced scholar far surpasses them, so they didn't discover and perceive the breath of the white-faced scholar.
Qi Wuxian sighed inexplicably, which attracted the attention of the sudden smile.
However, just as he suddenly smiled and looked at Qi Wuxian with some inquiring eyes, something happened at the gate of the county guard's mansion at this time.
Liang Ji didn't know why, he directly shook off the people of the county guard who were supporting him, and ran to a pillar by himself, supporting the pillar with one hand, and he kept vomiting there, while vomiting, Liang Ji's mouth didn't know what was still muttering.
"This, this, hahahaha, this thing, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's just wonderful."
Because of the distance, Qi Wuhate only heard such scattered fragments, and through these scattered words, Qi Wuhate couldn't detect and deduce anything from them.
But what is certain is that there is something wrong with Liang Ji's side.
No, I didn't see the tall and thin man take out a dagger from his arms with a smile, stabbed several times one after another, and stabbed several unsuspecting county guards beside him into the heart one after another.
It's a one-hit kill.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed instantly, this technique was a little too skilled, although there was some distance, but this did not prevent him from observing, the tall and thin man's technique of using a dagger was a little unsatisfactory.
Even if this technique is the foundation of the entry-level in both Jinyiwei and Zhijinsi, but if it appears outside, it is still incredible.
I believe that Qi Wu hates him, and he should also see this at this time.
Suddenly, he smiled and took a deep breath, he held back the desire to make a move, he and Qi Wuxian at this moment, they both endured the impulse in their hearts, but patiently continued to stay in place, did not make a move, they were all waiting, waiting for the tall and thin man to make the next move, waiting for the tall and thin man, what the hell was going to do.
Qi Wuxian licked his lips excitedly, his whole body was trembling, his palm was already pressed on the hilt of the knife on his waist, and his legs were already slightly twisted, ready to rush out directly at any time to fight the tall and thin man.
Although it was said that the tall and thin man's dagger tricks could not tell what his cultivation was, this bloodthirsty feeling had already made the killing heart that had been silent for a long time in Qi Wuxian's heart gradually awaken, and he may have suddenly smiled and now felt it, from the surroundings of Qi Wuxi's body, slowly exuding terrifying killing intent.
This killing intent is not very obvious, but it is enough to make Suddenly laugh and mention twelve points of caution.
Is this guy the devil?
Are you excited to fucking watch people kill someone?
Damn it, this guy can't do anything in the sun like an animal.
And not far from these two people, the white-faced scholar was standing on the eaves with his junior brother, the white-robed man, quietly observing all this.
The white-faced scholar said calmly
"You, why are you here?"
"Senior brother, I think what you need to care about now is not why I am here, but Liang Ji's safety."
The white-robed man smiled contemptuously, and did not answer the white-faced scholar's question, his eyes were also paying attention to every move at the gate of the county guard mansion at this time.
After hearing this, the white-faced scholar's eyes also jumped, and he closed his eyes, as if he didn't care about the tall and thin man behind Liang Ji who was holding the dagger step by step at this moment.
At this moment, at the gate of the county guard mansion, the corpses of those people under the county guard mansion fell to the ground, and the tall and thin man showed a hideous smile, the dagger in his hand was still dripping blood, and he walked quietly towards Liang Ji, who was still vomiting, step by step.
And what about Liang Ji?
It was as if he didn't notice what was going on behind him.
"Aren't we going to make a move?"
The white-robed man said this lightly, his eyes glanced at the white-faced scholar, and he didn't know what he meant when he said this.
"That guy won't do anything to Liang Ji."
The white-faced scholar's eyes were still closed, and there was no sign of opening them, and he was now like he was out of the matter, and he didn't have any intention of caring about the danger that might happen behind Liang Ji at any time.
Step by step, the distance between the tall and thin man and Liang Ji was getting closer and closer, and when he was about to get close to Liang Ji, he had already raised the palm holding the dagger, he grinned, and the hideous smile looked a little scary at this time, but there were some indescribable funny feelings.
"Senior brother, that guy is about to start."
The white-robed man's expression at this time no longer had the previous understatement, his expression slowly became serious, and even the palm of his hand gathered a little internal force at this time, like, as if he was going to make a move in the next second.
It is very strange that the white-faced scholar, a person who needs to monitor and protect Liang Ji, does not make any moves towards the danger that Liang Ji is about to face now, nor does he show any nervous expression.
But on the other hand, the white-robed man, a guy who didn't seem to have anything to do with this matter, was slowly a little nervous at this time?
It seems that the man in the white robe is now very concerned about Liang Ji's life and death?
It's weird, it's really weird.
The white-robed man from the scholar's sect did not have any position to worry about Liang Ji's safety, but now he began to be nervous.
Then, in the next second, when the dagger was only three inches away from Liang Ji's back, the master man's movements stopped, and the dagger stayed in mid-air, only three inches away from Liang Ji's heart.
After a while, there was no movement, and in the next second, the tall and thin man took two steps back, and while taking a step back, he also wiped the blood from the dagger in his hand and put it back into his arms.
It was also his action that made the white-robed man breathe a sigh of relief, and with a shake of his wrist, he dispersed the internal force gathered in his hand, and there was no longer any fluctuation of internal force.
At the same time, the white-faced scholar opened his eyes, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and this smile also changed back to the original after it appeared.
At the same time, Qi Wuxian and Suddenlyxiao also breathed a sigh of relief, the two of them were actually a little nervous at that moment just now.
After all, the two of them just wanted to come to the county guard mansion today to see if they could find any clues about the evil dagger, but they didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, the kind of Liang Ji's life hanging by a thread at any time may die on the spot may happen in the next second, and the hearts of the two little guys are really a little unbearable.
Don't look at Qi Wuxian, he was very excited, but he was still very panicked in his heart, that tall and thin man would really make a move on Liang Ji.
Liang Ji is very important at this juncture.
Even if he has passed this experience and passed this juncture, as long as this war is not over and the war has not stopped, as long as Liang Ji sits in the position of Jiangxia County Guard for a day, he will be a guy with a pivotal position in this layout.
"You seem to know that guy won't really attack Liang Ji?"
The white-robed man turned around and looked at the white-faced scholar with a somewhat grim face, his heart was already a little palpitating after the tall and thin man put away the dagger, and after seeing that his senior brother the white-faced scholar really didn't have any changes in his expression.
However, the white-faced scholar sneered, and he sighed with some sarcasm and said
"You, you're still too impulsive, and what is hidden behind the false reality is the truth."
This sentence is very unpredictable, and in the same way, the man in the white robe naturally did not understand what the white-faced scholar wanted to express.
"Hehehe, you, you can do it."
The white-robed man snorted coldly, and after saying this, he also lost the interest of continuing to stay here, turned around and jumped, performed light skills, and quickly left here.
Not long after, there was only one white-faced scholar left on the eaves, looking at the bright moon in the sky, a little lonely figure, and said as if laughing at himself
"You guy, when will you really stabilize your mind, every time it's like this, pretending to be unconcerned on the surface, but when it comes to things really happening, you always make some meaningless moves, you, you, you, you, have also gone through so many years of wandering in the world, when will you really see through the true thoughts of those bedbugs? The rotten thoughts of the scholar's door should not affect and erode you. ”
