Chapter Twenty-Three: The Black and White Smile Mask
"My lord, I'm just a flower thief, and this Lord Wei's death has nothing to do with me."
"Doesn't matter? But that day I saw you enter the inn and meet a man. I don't know who the person you saw was, but the murderer was most likely in the inn. If you can't find the real culprit, you can't get rid of suspicion. β
"But I really didn't lie to adults, I'm just a flower thief, and I want to pick Lord Wei's daughter, and I also want to see it."
"Hehe~ You're picking all the girls who haven't come out of the cabinet, right?"
"Hmm."
Hua Sixteen looked a little nervous.
"But as far as I know, none of the girls who have been 'picked' have ever been popular! It can't be said that more than a dozen girls are all prodigal people, and they have already fallen into popularity. β
This information was that when he left the yamen yesterday morning, he specially asked the two brothers of the Shi family to ask the girl from the family who was picking flowers what it was, but he didn't expect to ask such a big news.
"Tell the truth, maybe the Holy One can still be lenient on you."
"I was the one who went to find it, the flower thief who told me to do it. But I'm also a wife, and I can't do that kind of behavior that stains other women, so I just stun them. β
"The person who told you to pick flowers, but Chen Li?"
"Hmm...... Be. β
Hua Sixteen struggled for a long time, but still admitted it.
"What did you talk about the last time you saw each other before I caught you?"
"He asked me if I had met a master when I was being chased and killed by the people of the Wei Mansion. Then I told him exactly what had happened that night, and he told me to leave the inn. β
"What can you get by working so conscientiously for him, and even becoming a flower thief?"
Hu Xiu was a little confused.
"For the sake of money, our family is poor, he said that as long as he cooperates with him in acting, after the end, he will give me a hundred taels of gold, but he didn't expect that I would be arrested for this."
"A hundred taels of gold, okay~ I know."
Hu Xiu's face was a little solemn, this flower sixteen is such a rhetoric, for a hundred taels of gold, he will be a flower thief, is he so fond of money? He couldn't understand something.
If he told the truth, then all the previous inferences based on someone framing Chen Li would be overturned, and the murderer would undoubtedly die as Chen Li. The ninja of the Heavenly Dynasty couldn't explain it again, could it be that what Hu Xiu saw was just a scene between Chen Li and the ninja of the Heavenly Dynasty?
If it is false, then this Hua Sixteen must have this big secret, and they are all locked up in Linglong Pavilion, and they may not be able to go out again in this life, but they are still loyal to the master behind them, and the connection is intriguing.
"Let's go, Uncle Bai Sheng."
"Hehe~ Let's go, young master."
Leaving the small closed room, the old man didn't know what to do, and the "wall" closed automatically. Hu Xiu touched the wall with his palm, and there was not a single gap, like a completely confined wall, this is the orthodox Guan Xiaoxiao Black House.
"Uncle Bai Sheng, how do the people who are locked up here eat every day?"
"Every day, someone will come to deliver food and clean the house, but if it's too dirty, like the kind of room just now, it won't be cleaned."
"Oh, that's it."
It's also human nature, people are iron, rice is steel, and it's normal for people to be hungry and panic if they don't eat a meal.
Going around and around, I went around from the Linglong Pavilion again, and this pavilion is really quite big.
"Go back, little fanzi."
The little guy stood respectfully at the door at this time, waiting for Hu Xiu.
"Okay, Childe."
β¦β¦
Nearly half of the road, at this time it was already Shen Shi, this little guy physical strength is not good, when he came, ten kilometers of the road, walked nearly a little more, hours, time was almost delayed on the road.
Passing by a small jungle, at this time, Ping'an City looks like it has an outline from a distance, and it is estimated that there are still a few kilometers to walk, and when you go back, you have to check what Hua Sixteen said, whether it is true, his wife really exists.
was thinking about it, but Hu Xiu was a little flustered in his heart, looking up at some tall and thick trees, if someone deliberately ambushed him here......
"Woo~Boom~"
There was a rapid sonic boom, and Hu Xiu's eyes caught two afterimages rushing towards him and the little guy.
"Be careful!"
didn't have time to think about it, Hu Xiu pounced on the little guy who was still leading the way in front of him, he could dodge the hidden weapon that shot at him, but Xiao Fan couldn't dodge, since he could save him, why not save him?
Xiao Fan was knocked down and pressed to the ground, making a muttering sound.
Hu Xiu stood up and scanned the surroundings with a calm face, this method of using hidden weapons is insidious.
"Fighting with others, but putting a secret weapon in secret, this is not what a gentleman does."
He really couldn't think of someone he had offended, and someone wanted to harm him like this.
"Hehe~ Brother, he seems to be saying that we are not gentlemen, alas?"
A soft laugh came to my ears, and it came from behind a giant tree.
"You're a woman, but you're not."
"Then my brother is not a gentleman, but my brother loves to kill those good people."
Two men walked out from behind the giant tree, a man and a woman, with masks on their faces and wrapped all over their bodies, but one of them was taller and one of them was shorter.
"Who are you? Why are you plotting against me? Do you know who I am? The consequences of offending Lord Hu's mansion are not pleasant. β
Hu Xiu sensed that their aura was more than a little stronger than him, and he should not be able to beat him, so he could only move out the forces behind him, thinking that they would retreat from the difficulty.
"I know that Hu Feiwei, the son of Hu Feiwei of Hu Wangfu, is also the only son Hu Xiu. As for the consequences of offending, hum~ Our two brothers and sisters are not afraid. β
This pair of brothers and sisters are dressed strangely, the shorter one is dressed in a black uniform, and the taller and thin one is dressed in a white uniform, each wearing a white and black smiley mask, but this outfit is like cos black and white impermanence.
"You two, but you want my life? Let me guess, you are two brothers and sisters, Bai Sha and Hei Kill? β
"Hehe~ How do you know about our brother and sister? Isn't it too famous? β
Black Kill made some naughty and shy movements.
As for why Hu Xiu was able to recognize them as black kills and white swords, it was because of their image, as well as the characteristics of a pair of brothers and sisters, and he couldn't help but think of the black kills and white scars that the two brothers of the Shi family told him.
"You two, weren't you surrounded and suppressed by the army in your early years, how can you still be alive."
"You don't care about it, someone wants you to die, then we can't live to let you get out of here."
"You want me dead?"
Hu Xiu's eyes were cold.
"Is that going to make me die? Who the hell wants me dead? You can't let me die in vain. β
"I can't tell you."
"You see I still have the ability to resist, I just want to be a ghost."
"Hmph~ Really when we are stupid, will we tell you this?"
Heh~ I don't think I'm smart enough, when you say this, aren't you just, admit it, there is a bigger "fish" behind this?
"In that case, I can't just take it easy."
Hu Xiu pulled out the Qingluan long sword that he carried with him, these two brothers and sisters didn't seem to be carrying long weapons, they had long weapons in their hands, and they would always be able to increase their chances of winning against those who didn't have long soldiers.
"It seems that you want to resist, and there is no point in fighting a trapped beast like you."
The white palm of his hand reached into the placket of his clothes, and in his arms was a dagger.
"Click~"
The dagger was pulled out of the dagger, and the dagger took on a vivid emerald green color in the sunlight.
"See blood seal your throat!"
Hu Xiu's pupils dilated suddenly, and he almost forgot that this brother and sister were good at using poison, and if they accidentally fell into the trap, they wouldn't even know how they died.
"You still have some eyesight, and you can kill people in an instant, and you will die if you take it so far."
At this time, the confused little Fan Xiaowu who was hit opened his eyes at this time, and the small physique was really weak.
"Childe, it hurts me so much that you just bumped me."
Rubbing his back, the little guy still stood up, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird...
"Xiao Fan, you run back and go to Lord Hu's mansion to move the rescue soldiers for me!"
Hu Xiu grabbed him and dragged him behind him, this melon baby, why is he so naΓ―ve, I didn't find that the situation was wrong.
"Huh? Want to go? I see that the relationship between your master and servant is so good, why don't I help you dig a pit and bury them together after death? β
Hey, bro, you seem to have made a mistake, this little guy, but it's a man...
Xiao Fan didn't seem to figure out the situation yet, and stood there in a daze.
"But... Childe, I'm leaving, what are you going to do? β
"You don't have the slightest martial arts, what's the use of staying, do you want to be a burden to me?"
This is the truth, this little guy staying, it will only make people distracted and worry about his safety, if he leaves, Hu Xiu can let go of Yibo and fight for that glimmer of life.
"Papapa~"
Bai Sha clapped his hands in amazement.
"Tut-tut, it's really an enviable love story, then I'll be kind today, and I'll let your master and servant die together, how about it?"
Your sister, go to your love, you go to love your sister! Hu Xiu cursed secretly, turned his head and saw that the little guy still hadn't left.
"Why don't you leave!"
"If Childe dies, I will never live alone, so I can't go."
These ancients were so brainless? I'm not dead yet, and he's insisting that I be distracted from his safety? These two brothers and sisters in front of you, if you give it to you, you will be killed.
"The last words are over, it's my turn."
Bai Xu casually buttoned his nails, danced the dagger gracefully, and strode forward, but disappeared in place, and Hu Xiu's eyes couldn't catch his movements.
In the next second, he only fell from a height of six or seven meters. Why do you jump so high?
Hu Xiu took a few steps back, dodging his dagger from the sky. After all, he can't borrow force in the air, so his landing point can only be where he just stands, which can be dodged as long as he moves quickly.
"Yo~ The reaction is good, dodge."
"With this kind of vulgar moves, you just want to hit me, are you underestimating me too much?"
"Vulgar? Boy, don't talk crazy. β
Bai Sha held the poisonous dagger, approached with extremely fast steps, and stabbed Hu Xiu's heart. Sensing his intentions, Hu Xiu's long sword struck upward, breaking his moves. The long sword and the short dagger, in the end, the long side has an advantage, as long as you are not close to the short dagger, there is no need to be afraid of him.
Seeing that the blow was missed, Bai Sha quickly rose upwards again, more than a meter from the ground, and fell to the ground at great speed, this short-distance explosion, the target was the head.
Hu Xiu's left leg took a step back, his body tilted slightly, the dagger slashed dangerously and dangerously from the left side of his body, and his right hand held Qingluan tightly, and his waist was slashed with a sword.
"Click~"
Bai Sha had no strength in the air, but his waist shrank back strangely, and the dagger in his hand immediately withdrew the knife and pressed it against his waist, helping him block the blow.
With this external force slashing at him, he leaped back into the air, and like a circus acrobatic, he spun three hundred and sixty degrees and fell back to the ground, but he retreated a few great steps.
"Boy, I underestimate you, I didn't expect you to be so strong, and you made me suffer a dark loss."
Bai Xu covered his lower abdomen, and his figure was not as chic as just now.
Hu Xiu used his skills just now, and he had 400 catties of strength all over his body, but he just acted on the sword, but he hit nearly 700 catties of force.
If he just punches with his fists, he can even hit a huge force of more than 800 catties, which is the benefit of practicing [Eighteen Horizontal Exercises of Iron Cloth Shirt].
It can control the muscles and muscles and burst out with great force in a short period of time, but this technique cannot be used continuously, otherwise the muscles and bones will not be able to stand it.
It's a pity that he can't control the strength in the dantian, and he is attached to the weapon out of his body, otherwise he would have been able to take half of his life just now.
"Hehe~ I can't touch you, but I see that your maid doesn't know any martial arts, she won't be very important to you."
Bai smiled evilly, and pointed the dagger in his hand at the little guy.
"Why, he's just my slave, how can he be so important to me."
"Is that so? I can't see it, I'll have to try it to find out. β
The poisonous dagger played with it in his hand, and with a force on his wrist, the dagger was like a flying arrow feather, and ran towards the little guy.
