"Damn, Shen Dazhuang has already left the blacksmith village!" Rodriguez cursed under his breath.

According to the account of the city gate guard, Shen Dazhuang left the blacksmith village alone ten minutes ago, and he also looked like he was in a hurry.

It seems that it should be Shen Dazhuang who poisoned and murdered Shen Qilong and others.

However, Liu Xing always felt that something was wrong.

"Mr. Rodriguez, where are the caves where those goblins are?" Zhang Jingxu asked suddenly.

Rodriguez was stunned for a moment, then pointed in the direction outside the city gate and said, "The direction in front of us should be about ten kilometers away." ”

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said, "It seems that our guess is correct, Shen Dazhuang is very likely to be the mastermind behind that group of goblins, and now he can only seek the protection of those goblins after murdering Shen Qilong and others." ”

Rodriguez sighed, and then said viciously: "Don't worry, Lord Brave, I will arrange for my subordinates to crusade against that group of goblins, and bring Shen Dazhuang to justice by the way, after all, Shen Mad Dragon is also the village chief of the blacksmith village no matter what he says." ”

With that, Rodriguez ordered his men to gather their troops and try to start the battle before the goblins were ready.

As for Liu Xing and the others, they returned to the Shen family's mansion to join Yin En and the others, and then participated in this crusade together.

On the way, Liu Xing couldn't help but say: "Don't you think this incident is a little strange, it stands to reason that Shen Dazhuang doesn't need to do this, right?" ”

In Liu Xing's opinion, if it was really Shen Dazhuang who did all this, then there might be something wrong with Shen Dazhuang's brain, because there was no need for him to do it at all, because it would not be beneficial to him at all except that his identity would be exposed.

Zhang Jingxu on the side nodded, and said seriously: "I think so too, at the beginning, I thought that Shen Dazhuang did this to frame us, so that Rodriguez thought that we poisoned Shen Maolong and others, but after thinking about it carefully, I found that something was wrong with the situation, because this way of poisoning is too rough, as long as we investigate carefully, we can find the flaws, not to mention that we don't need to poison Shen Dazhuang and them, the most important thing is that Shen Dazhuang actually ran away like this, Is this a sign of telling others that there is something wrong with him? ”

Liu Xing thought the same way.

"So, do you think the real poisoner is Shen Aotian?" Ding Kun frowned and said: "Judging from the current situation, if it weren't for Shen Dazhuang poisoning Shen Qianglong and others, then the only person who might poison Shen Aotian would be Shen Aotian, and Shen Aotian also has a reason to do so, because as long as Shen Aotian frames the poisoning case on Shen Dazhuang, then Shen Aotian can rightfully become the head of the Shen family, and take over Shen Dazhuang to control a blacksmith shop... But Shen Aotian, he was too ruthless this time. ”

At this moment, Liu Xing and the others saw Shen Aotian, Yin En and others standing at the door.

Liu Xing and the three exchanged glances with each other.

Although now Liu Xing and the three of them feel that the possibility of Shen Aotian's poison is higher than Shen Dazhuang, but now Liu Xing and the three of them have no evidence at all, so Liu Xing and the three of them can only keep these conjectures in their minds.

"Lord Zhang Jingxu, have you found my eldest brother?" Shen Aotian asked anxiously.

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said: "When we arrived at a blacksmith shop, we found that Shen Dazhuang had already left, and then we got the news from the city gate guards, saying that Shen Dazhuang had just left the blacksmith village alone, and the city gate where he left was facing the cave where those goblins were, so we now have reason to suspect that yesterday's theft and today's poisoning case were all committed by Shen Dazhuang, and Mr. Rodriguez has begun to gather people to crusade against those goblins, and then arrest Shen Dazhuang!" ”

Yin En and the others showed an expression of "sure enough".

Shen Aotian was silent for a moment before he spoke, "Lord Zhang Jingxu, are you going to arrest my eldest brother now?" ”

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course, Mr. Rodriguez has invited our brave team to participate in this operation, not to mention that we ourselves have a good reason to participate in this operation, after all, our materials have been stolen by Shen Dazhuang and those goblins." ”

Shen Aotian sighed and continued to ask, "Then I'll go and prepare now, after all, I am also a member of the Brave Squad." ”

Liu Xing wanted to speak and stopped, because it should be Zhang Jingxu who made the decision this time.

Zhang Jingxu thought for a moment before he said seriously: "Shen Aotian, I personally suggest that you don't come to participate in this operation, because although you are a member of our brave squad, you are not in the battle sequence of our brave squad, and the person we are going to deal with this time is always your eldest brother, so I think you are not ready to kill your relatives in righteousness." ”

Shen Aotian's face showed a look of struggle.

Zhang Jingxu took this opportunity to give Yin En and the others a look, and Yin En and the others stood beside Zhang Jingxu with understanding.

Just as Zhang Jingxu was about to leave with Liu Xing and the others, Shen Aotian suddenly said: "Lord Zhang Jingxu, I think I am mentally prepared to kill my relatives in righteousness, because when Shen Dazhuang poisoned and murdered my parents, he was no longer worthy of being my eldest brother, not to mention that my second brother was also murdered by Shen Dazhuang back then, so I must now have a hand on Shen Dazhuang, a beast that is not a son of man!" ”

Since Shen Aotian said so, Zhang Jingxu had no reason to refuse Shen Aotian's request to accompany the team.

So, Shen Aotian went back to the Shen family's mansion to get his weapons first.

Taking advantage of the time when Shen Aotian went back to get his things, Liu Xing whispered to Yin En: "Yin En, during the time we left, was there anything unusual about Shen Aotian?" ”

Yin En raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I know that you are the same as I think, and you also think that there is something wrong with this Shen Aotian, because he is much stronger than Shen Da when he is suspected of poisoning, especially when Zhang Jingxu said that Shen Dazhuang has left the blacksmith village, I am even more sure that Shen Aotian has a problem; As for saying that Shen Aotian has anything unusual, I really haven't found anything unusual, but it is precisely because Shen Aotian has nothing unusual about him that I began to doubt Shen Aotian, after all, such a serious sudden change, even we will seem overwhelmed, but Shen Aotian is like a person who is fine, acting calmer than us, just after Liu Xing and you left, Shen Aotian was responsible for presiding over the overall situation. ”

"After you left, Shen Aotian took us to look for the other people in the Shen family's mansion, but we quickly found those people in the kitchen, back garden, servant's residence, etc., and according to the confessions provided by those people, it was the second housekeeper of the Shen family's mansion who asked them to avoid it temporarily, as for the same reason as we thought-because Shen Qianglong and they want to invite us, the members of the brave team, so the idle people are not allowed to appear near the living room; As for the second housekeeper of the Shen family's mansion, he has been the Shen family's servant since a long time ago, so his reputation in the Shen family's mansion is very high, so those members of the Shen family and the servants who received the order were very honest and obeyed the order. ”

"Then we began to search for the whereabouts of the second housekeeper, and soon found the body of the second housekeeper in a ruined courtyard of the Shen family's mansion, it seems that someone should have been hit in the back of the head with a blunt object such as a wooden stick from behind, causing intracranial hemorrhage, and finally died and was discarded in that abandoned courtyard, so we went back and asked many people, but those people did not know who the second housekeeper was passing the order for; However, I specifically inquired about the news of this second housekeeper, and found that this second housekeeper has actually been a little at odds with the chief housekeeper, and this big housekeeper is a staunch supporter of Shen Dazhuang, and he has always been a little dissatisfied with Shen Aotian becoming the next head of the Shen family. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xing showed a knowing smile, "In this way, this second steward should be on Shen Aotian's side, because as long as Shen Aotian can successfully ascend to the throne one day, then he can take the position of the chief steward, so Shen Aotian has every chance to instruct the second steward to pretend to pass on orders, and then ask the second steward to a secluded place to extinguish his mouth." ”

"I think so too, and I also heard one thing from a servant, that is, Shen Dazhuang may have sent someone to assassinate Shen Aotian, at that time Shen Aotian had just been appointed as the next head of the Shen family, Shen Dazhuang was very angry about this on various occasions, and then one day a blacksmith shop received a big order, which needed to send a batch of goods to the national capital as soon as possible, but because Shen Dazhuang was escorting another batch of goods to another city, Shen Aolong asked Shen Aotian to be responsible for escorting this batch of goods, As a result, the caravan was attacked by a group of bandits on the way, but the target of this group of bandits was not those goods, but Shen Aotian himself! ”

"Because the bandits attacked suddenly, Shen Aotian was accidentally taken away by the bandits, and the escort team naturally couldn't let the bandits kidnap their young master, so the escort team immediately began to pursue, after some chase, those bandits found that they couldn't escape with Shen Aotian, so they simply pushed Shen Aotian down the cliff, the cliff was about ten meters high, so when the escort team found Shen Aotian under the cliff, Shen Aotian was already seriously injured and unconscious, It wasn't until half a month later that he woke up. Yin Eun spoke.

Liu Xing frowned, stared at Shen Aotian who came out of the gate and said, "In this case, there is a reason why Shen Aotian is blackened because of this, but in order to deal with Shen Dazhuang, there is no need to drag his parents into the water, right?" ”

"Then I don't know." Yin Eun shrugged his shoulders and said.

Shen Aotian, who came out at this time, had already changed into a leather armor and held a short knife in his hand.

It seems that Shen Aotian also knows very well that it is better to use short weapons to fight goblins in caves.

Now that Shen Aotian had finished preparations, Liu Xing and the others officially set off to join Rodriguez.

By this time, Rodrides had gathered more than thirty heavily armed guards in front of the city gates, and the surrounding passers-by were talking about it.

"Zhang Jingxu, you're still good at dealing with monsters like goblins, so how about you command the battle later?" Rodriguez said half-truthfully.

Of course, Zhang Jingxu knew that Rodriguez was reluctant to give up power, so he shook his head and said: "No, no, no, it should be Mr. Rodriguez that you should command the battle, because if I find Shen Dazhuang's figure at that time, I will have to take my team to launch an assault, and Mr. Rodriguez will have to be our queen at that time." ”

There is a specialization in the art industry.

Rodriguez knew that his men would be okay with the goblins who were far outnumbered by him, but it would be difficult to break through the siege because they were not very good individually.

Without further ado, Rodriguez immediately gave the order to go.

The distance of ten kilometers was not far or close, and the reason for maintaining a formation in case the goblins launched an attack, it took Liu Xing and the others an hour to reach the vicinity of the goblin cave.

Then, Liu Xing and the others saw a small goblin village, which looked like a human village in miniature proportions.

However, no goblins have been found in this small village.

"Looks like those goblins already know we're coming for their trouble, so they've fled back to the cave." Rodriguez pointed to the cave next to him and said, "The entrance to this cave still looks quite large, but it can only accommodate two people in parallel after walking more than 20 meters." ”

As Rodriguez said, the entrance to the cave looked like it could accommodate five or six people side by side.

"Mr. Rodriguez, can we use the smoke method to force those goblins to escape?" Liu Xing said suddenly.

Rodriguez was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Although many passages in this cave are very narrow, the total area of this cave is still quite large, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many goblins to live in it, and those goblins have already made a lot of exhaust holes in this cave in order to maintain air circulation inside the cave, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for the smoking method to work." ”

Liu Xing nodded, sighed and said, "In this case, we can only choose to attack?" ”

But just then, a scout in charge of watching the wind from a high place suddenly ran down and said, "Lord Rodriguez, those goblins are running to the east!" ”

Ran away?!

Liu Xing and the others all looked at the scout with a look of surprise.

"Could it be that this is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?" Rodriguez frowned and said, "How many goblins did you really see?" ”

The scout affirmed, "At least five hundred, and those goblins all have big bags and look like they want to abandon the cave altogether!" ”
