Chapter Twenty-Five: After the Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada Yellow Sparrow
"It's a good show, and he sings and you appear!"
Xiao Yan began to drag up the text again, but he didn't know what to say, Ishikawa had already endured enough, so he jumped to his feet and threatened: "You, you come again, try again, and I will reveal your secret." ”
"Please, what secrets do I have?" The latter shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes disapprovingly.
"Okay, then I'll just say it, you like fragrant ......"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yan had already jumped up, covered the former's mouth and said, "Big mouth, don't talk nonsense, it's a bad thing if you say it." ”
Ishikawa rolled his eyes and stared at Xiao Yan, not understanding why he was so nervous, wasn't this just a joke? Anyway, it's boring to wait, just a few idle sentences to pass the time, as for the nervousness, is it like this?
Indeed, if it had been before, Xiao Yan would never have been so nervous.
But now is different from the past, Mu Qing has clearly confided that he belongs to Xiang Xuemei's heart. If Ishikawa continues to shout nonsense, the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional, I am afraid that it will really add to the chaos.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan and Ishikawa are used to fighting, and the laughter and scolding of the two of them have become the daily life of the article, and Mu Qing is still sitting upright.
He was calm on the surface, but he was a little nervous in his heart, he was calculating the time, and it was time to report the news, right?
Thinking of Cao Cao in his heart, Cao Cao arrived, and remembered the sound of light footsteps at the door......
The footsteps outside the door were approaching, and Youbei walked in lightly, glanced at Xiao Yan and Ishikawa who were hugging each other tightly, silently passed by their sides, and walked towards Mu Qing.
The two immediately stopped fighting and looked at Youbei who ignored him.
"Please punish the master, his subordinates followed him around a few times, and finally lost it." Youbei knelt on one knee and pleaded guilty in frustration.
Mu Qing's face sank, and he thought for a moment, "Did you find out from the beginning?" ”
"No, in the beginning, he kept tracking the killer in front of him and didn't find any subordinates; Later, he followed the people and seemed a little annoyed, but fortunately he still didn't find his subordinates; Later, after turning around the south of the city twice, he became vigilant, and seemed to have found something, so he went around the east of the city again, and when he reached the east of the city, he quickly turned a bend and disappeared. ”
After listening to Youbei's complicated and articulate statement, Mu Qing was silent, but Ishikawa was like falling into a fog.
I muttered in my heart: Why is he stalking the killer, and we are stalking him, who is stalking whom? Who's stalking who? looked at Xiao Yan inexplicably and solved!
"Let's go, go to the south of the city." Mu Qing stood up decisively and took the lead and walked out.
Ishikawa grabbed the corner of Xiao Yan's clothes hard, fierce and aggrieved.
The latter understood his ferocious feelings: it was the feeling of being kept in the dark and not knowing anything.
There is also a grievance: Am I an outsider? Why didn't you tell me anything? Am I still your old iron?
Xiao Yan patted the former on the shoulder to show comfort, and then dragged him away, "Let's go, talk while walking." ”
In order not to disturb the residents of the city, the group walked to the south of the city under the leadership of Youbei.
"Say it quickly! What the hell is going on? Ishikawa clung to Xiao Yan and walked last.
"It's that the prince set a trap and lured that Yu Qiukong to come, but as a result, he came in, but accidentally let him slip away again." Xiao Yan stroked his forehead and sighed.
"Be as detailed as possible, I won't be long-winded." Ishikawa is a serious 28 classic.
"Okay, please allow me to carefully report the details to Lord Shi." Xiao Yan is a serious way of the Eight Classics.
"Didn't you say before that Yu Qiukong especially likes the play "Double Butterflies"? So I'm guessing whether he will come to the play? However, whether Yu Qiukong came or not was a problem, and even if he came, there was another problem. Because, he is good at disguise, just pretend, we don't know which one is him, right? ”
"yes, how do I find him?"
"That's a good question! It just so happened that the prince received a message a few days ago, saying that someone was going to assassinate Governor Li when he went to listen to the play, and this play happened to be called "Double Butterfly". That's why when the prince found this book on the top of the mountain, he paid special attention to it. ”
Ishikawa was shocked, "What? Ye already knew, so why didn't he tell Governor Li? Tell him not to go, or bring more people to fight the ambush! ”
"No, you are wrong, on the contrary, the prince will never tell Governor Li!"
"Why?"
"Because of this assassination, it can just become a bait to lure Yu Qiukong to show up."
"How to lure?"
"We carefully analyzed Yu Qiukong's character: we found that he is a meticulous, very rigorous and regular person, and he is also very arrogant.
Why did you come to this conclusion?
First: You see that the objects in the meditation room on the top of his mountain are all neatly placed and very neat, and even the two burdens hidden in the cliff cave are large at the bottom, and the small ones are arranged in turn. Moreover, even the clothes in the baggage are neatly folded, and there is no trace of clutter.
Second: Because he knew that we were investigating Qin Huaiyu's disappearance, he deliberately played Yun Yanlan without saying anything, and he still showed off his strength and ability in front of everyone. ”
"So, after mastering these two characteristics of his, things are easy to do." Xiao Yan said as he quickened his pace and caught up with everyone.
Ishikawa hugged Xiao Yan tightly, almost touching the latter's body, and was pushed in disgust, still with a puzzled expression on his face, "So, how can I tempt him to show up?" ”
"So, in the end, if Yu Qiukong comes to listen to the play, or to listen to his favorite play, when he hears the most exciting, and when he hears the most exciting, but he is disturbed by someone, you say, will he be happy?"
"He's going to be mad!"
"He's coming in high spirits, will he go back with his tail between his legs?"
"With his arrogance, he will never give up!" Ishikawa is also gradually merging.
"That's right!" Xiao Yan struck each other excitedly, "How can he go back in disgrace, and how can he watch the people who are bad for him easily leave." Therefore, when someone shouted "killed", he first withdrew from the teahouse with everyone, but he did not go far, and would hide not far away, just to see who ruined his good deeds, and then retaliated to show his ability. ”
Ishikawa also struck each other with both hands, and said excitedly and a little puzzled: "Wonderful is wonderful, but he is still hidden in the shadows, and he still hasn't shown himself!" ”
"That's a good question! No, there's another trick waiting for him to lure the snake out of the hole! ”
"Say! Who's going to lead it? And how to lead? Ishikawa is used to interrogating prisoners in ordinary times, and the questions are one after another, anxious and unintentional, he actually interrogates Xiao Yan as a prisoner, and his tone becomes stern.
Xiao Yan knew that he was nervous, so he laughed and said: "Of course it's a killer!" When you kill them in all directions, there is always a direction in which the killer escapes, and after passing through Yu Qiukong's hiding place, he will find out. Then, of course, Yu Qiukong was angry when he saw the killer, so he would show himself and quietly follow behind the former. ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at the anxious Ishikawa, and without waiting for him to ask, he continued: "Then, as soon as Yu Qiukong appears, he will be discovered by our people. Because, as soon as the killer escaped, the people who had been following us were waiting for Yu Qiukong to reveal his true identity. ”
"High, so high! Master, this plan is really high! However, as soon as you find him, won't it be over if you catch him? Why did Youbei still say that he came and went, and finally lost it? After talking for a long time, Ishikawa still couldn't fully understand the deep meaning.
"It's easy to catch him, but where to find the missing Lin Zishu and Qin Huaiyu? That's why I didn't arrest him first, just followed him and saw where he went? Whether or not we can find the missing two is the most important thing. ”
"His grandmother's, catch him first, let him taste the methods of Dali Temple, don't believe him and don't speak." Ishikawa roared angrily.
"So what if he would rather die than say it? With his perverted behavior, it is highly likely, what will happen then? Where to find Qin Huaiyu and Lin Zishu? That's why I have to continue to follow him and check his whereabouts. Who knows, he was so cunning that he slipped away. Speaking of being slipped away by Yu Qiukong, Xiao Yan was also extremely sorry.
"Fortunately, he went to the south of the city and walked around twice, and there are still traces to be found, so go there first to see the situation, maybe there will be a discovery." Speaking of tracking, this Ishikawa is a little confident.
After looking at Xiao Yan and nodding in agreement, he suddenly remembered something again, "Alas, but tonight's incident is really thrilling, those killers are all good at martial arts, if we are one step later, I am afraid that Governor Li's life will be difficult to save." ”
"Hehe, it's not thrilling at all." Xiao Yan laughed dryly, his face seemed to be smiling, and he looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.
Ishikawa grabbed his hand vigilantly, his eyes sharp, "What do you mean by this expression?" I was almost slashed, and you still said that it wasn't thrilling at all, why do you say that? ”
"Because, those killers are our people! Ahem! Ahem! Xiao Yan coughed dryly, barely hiding his smugness.
Ishikawa stopped in disbelief, and the hand that grabbed Xiao Yan became tighter and tighter, so tight that he trembled.
After a pause, he stared at Xiao Yan again, "You're making up nonsense!" Those killers are strong in martial arts, where did we come from? Youdong Younan has always been here. ”
Ishikawa stared at Xiao Yan, hoping that the latter would smile and nod and admit that what he said was all lies and nonsense.
However, the corners of the latter's mouth twitched a few times, and he couldn't hold back a smile, with an expression of underwhelming, and nodded vigorously: "It is indeed our own people." ”
"Really? It's really my own people! Your uncle's! Ishikawa couldn't hold it anymore and began to explode.
It's no wonder that Ishikawa began to explode foul language.
Just now, dozens of high-level masters surrounded him and attacked in turn, swords and swords, and dangers abounded. I tried my best, tried my best, and was exhausted, and even used up the strength to feed them, so that I beat them all back.
As a result, I was told that those high-flying killers with strong martial arts turned out to be their own people, their own people, and their own people.
If you don't kill Ishikawa for something like this, he'll believe it.
