Chapter 40: Mystery 3
Zhao Xiu put his hand on Xuemao's hand, slowly pushed it down, and Xuemao put down his two hands.
Zhao Xiu frowned and said, "How did you follow that courtyard?" Be specific. ”
Xuemao nodded, and said slowly: "When I first came, there was still a fire in the stove, and the steamed buns in the pot were all hot, so I thought that they most likely found us temporarily and didn't go far. I hurriedly took someone to chase them, but I didn't expect to find their traces, but there were only two of them, and Zheng Xinshi was not among them. I think there must be other people, but I didn't stay with them, and I thought they didn't notice me being following, so I was going to follow the rest of them. ”
Xuemao paused for a moment and continued: "I didn't expect these two people's kung fu to be so powerful, and after a while, these two people actually disappeared in the blink of my eyes. The body is so fast, and among the people I have seen, only the evil man can reach that realm. ”
As the blood demon of the twelve demons of the earth branch, the blood demon is not weak in martial arts, and there are very few people who can be more clever than him. The "evil son" in the mouth of the blood is the demon headed by the twelve demons of the earthly branch, and it is the highest martial arts among the twelve demons of the earthly branch.
Meng Xin Ah San is also the demon king of the twelve demons of the earth branch, and they have seen the demons with their own eyes. When the two of them heard that someone could be compared to the evil man, they both had a look of disbelief on their faces.
Xuemao also saw Meng Xin's face, and continued: "These two people disappeared into a street, and on both sides of this street are a large vegetable garden and a huge manor. I sent someone to search the vegetable garden carefully, and there were no footprints in it, and no one had trampled on it. So the two of them must have climbed over the wall at great speed and entered the manor on the other side. But judging from the posture of these two people, no matter which one is above me, I didn't dare to break into it, so I came back directly and reported to you, Lord Wang. ”
Zhao Xiu nodded after hearing this, brushing his hands on his face. According to what Xuemao said, there were masters in Liaozhou, which made Zhao Xiu feel pressure.
"Old Meng, Ah San, you two talk about your opinions." Zhao Xiu had already thought about it very clearly, but he was full of questions by this sudden master, so he wanted to hear Meng Xin Asan's opinion.
"If you want me to see, quickly gather all the demon guardian brothers and surround that manor, as long as we can come to two of the twelve demons of the earth branch, it will be enough to deal with them." Ah San was full of pride, and as he spoke, the long knife in his hand had been raised high, ready to rush out.
"Lord Wang, I think Ah San is right, first lead people to quickly surround the manor, and it is not too late to try Zheng Xinshi again." Meng Xin also agreed with what Ah San said.
After listening to what Meng Xin said, Zhao Xiu turned to look at Xuemao again.
"What about you?" Seeing that Zhao Xiu was asking for his opinion, Xuemao didn't speak, just nodded slowly.
Zhao Xiu shook his head and smiled slightly: "There are a few questions I have to figure out, as long as the three of you can have reasonable reasoning, I will allow you to set out to arrest Zheng Xinshi." ”
"First, we have just determined that everything in this courtyard is just deliberately made, if it was arranged by Zheng Xinshi, then what is his motive? Why make a fake assassin scene to show us? ”
Ah San preemptively replied: "He should be trying to distract us, wanting us to preconceive that the assassins are a group of outlaws who don't have enough food and clothing. ”
Zhao Xiu frowned and said, "Then why is his arrangement full of loopholes, and let our people discover their whereabouts?" ”
This time, Meng Xin thought of another possibility, "Zheng Xinshi underestimated us, he didn't expect your detection ability to be so strong, and you could easily see through their schemes." He didn't expect our strength in Liaozhou to be so strong, and they were discovered by us just after they had set up the game. ”
Zhao Xiu pursed his lips and thought for a while.
"Okay, even if Zheng Xinshi underestimates us, then there is a fatal problem. According to what Xuemao said, the two people's body methods are so fast that they can't even keep up with Xuemao, so how did these two people catch up with Xuemao and follow them for a distance before disappearing? This question can only be answered by the blood.
"I was thinking about it a lot on the way back. I was absolutely confident in my tracking skills, and the two of them never noticed me, but I saw them disappear from my eyes. Maybe these two people didn't notice me, and when they returned to the old nest, they just climbed into the courtyard normally, but these two people were too fast, and I didn't see it clearly. ”
Ah San, Meng Xin, and Xue Mao also all knew what happened today, and there were many things that were wrong, but they couldn't say what was wrong.
Zhao Xiu listened to the answers of these three people, and also felt that the statements of the three people were tenable, but the answers of these three people inevitably used many coincidences and possibilities. This makes the seemingly flawless explanation off-putting.
Zhao Xiu sighed and said: "Okay, since it makes sense, let's act immediately, Ah San Xuemao, the two of you immediately gather the demon guards of Nanning City, transfer everything that can be transferred, surround that manor, capture Zheng Xinshi, live or die!" ”
"Yes, yes" Ah Sanxue and the two of them answered at the same time, and as soon as they arched their hands, they immediately turned over and got on their horses, and rushed out of the alley one after the other, leaving only Meng Xin and Zhao Xiu standing in the courtyard.
"Lord, aren't we going? I'm afraid that if it is really as Xuemao said, there are many masters in that manor, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the two of them to take down Zheng Xinshi alone. ”
Zhao Xiu pouted and smiled: "Heh, do you think that the current master is going to the cabbage in the field, and he doesn't need money?" If it is true that the martial arts of those two people are as superb as the martial arts of Xuemao as Xuemao said, then the martial arts of these two people are already at the same level as Zheng Xinshi. How could a person like this be at the mercy of Zheng Xinshi and do such a thankless errand? ”
"And what do you mean?" Meng Xin still didn't understand.
"Everyone's life experience is limited, and there are only a few things that can be done. Those who can write may not be able to martial arts, and those who can be martial arts may not be able to write, since ancient times, those who are both civil and military are not geniuses. Being smart doesn't mean being strong in martial arts, if those two people really have both, with Zheng Xinshi's jealousy, how can they tolerate someone as capable as him? He had already calculated that he had died, and it was impossible to live to this day. I'm afraid......" Zhao Xiu said and stopped.
Meng Xin couldn't help asking, "What are you afraid of?" ”
"I'm afraid, we have been calculated again this time, and those two people are not Zheng Xinshi's people at all. It's been a set since I was assassinated yesterday, and it's a serial set. We have been tricked and led by the nose again and again, and what we see and know is what others want us to see. Zhao Xiu's face was lost, his face was pale, and even his eyes were full of loss.
