The middle-aged man said, "When the little brother went back, he told the Admiral, and said that the owner of the Belin Martial Arts Pavilion greeted him. ”

"Definitely."

"You're here for--" The middle-aged man who claimed to be the owner of the Belin Martial Arts Pavilion asked hesitantly.

Rick thought that he had come to this point in acting, and he happened to explore the reality of the martial arts hall, so he said with a straight face: "Last month, Count Permont was attacked during a banquet, and someone saw the assassin fleeing into the martial arts hall--" After a pause, he said again, "Of course, the hall master is so aware of the righteousness, naturally he will not harbor the assassins, so the Admiral sent me to check on it and ask some things at the same time." ”

"I see." The master of the martial arts hall said apologetically, "I'm really annoying you. ”

Rick waved his hand and said, "We're just errand soldiers, not adults, but the hall master had better keep an eye on his apprentices, otherwise I'm afraid it will affect him." That's it, farewell! With that, he left with a few others.

Looking at Rick and the others gradually moving away, the eyes of the owner of the Belin Martial Arts Pavilion were extremely gloomy, and he instructed the martial artist surnamed Liu: "Master Liu, invite Master Zhao here, I want to ask him who those apprentices he brought in." ”

"Pavilion Master, do you believe what that kid said just now? He is clearly not from the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion, and the Admiral has a very good relationship with you, how could he send a kid who doesn't know the height of the sky to make trouble in the martial arts hall?! ”

"What do you know?" The pavilion owner seemed to be in a bad mood and said, "I saw that kid just now, he is the new Earl Xia Hua Permon. Okay, you quickly invite Master Zhao here. ”

The martial artist surnamed Liu answered "yes" and stepped back, when he turned his face away. A cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Childe. Why didn't you just ask the owner directly? The moon attendant asked curiously.

Rick hasn't answered yet. The wind attendant had already taken over the topic and said: "This is the shrewdness of Childe, on the one hand, Childe cannot investigate the case head-on, and on the other hand, the pavilion owner will not tell the truth. If you look at him just now, you know that he has been outside for a long time, but he is deliberately pretending. ”

"Wind Squire, your vision has improved." Rick commends the authentic.

The wind attendant blushed slightly, and argued, "It seems that this sentence should be said by me to Childe. ”

Rick smiled, "It's all the same, anyway." I have already cast a pebble in the calm and waveless waterhole of the martial arts hall, and how big the waves can rise depends on the strength of the hall master. Those few thieves who slipped through the net let them get away with it for a while, and we stayed aside to watch the show first. ”

Xue Shi, who had always been calm, suddenly asked, "Childe, don't you think that the Belin Martial Arts Pavilion may be a force hidden in the darkness or the stronghold of a certain force?" And those men in black were actually sent by the pavilion owner. ”

Rick scratched his hair and said, "I've thought about it too, but it's unlikely." Although the pavilion master has some city government, he is not like the kind of person who will succumb to a certain force, and as for saying that the martial arts hall is a certain force hidden in the dark, I don't think he is qualified enough. ”

"Not for good reason." Suddenly, a voice rang out in the carriage.

The moon attendant said in surprise: "Sister Chrissy." ”

Rick smiled wryly, "How is it not sufficient? ”

Chrissy, who was born now, said: "Because the reasons that Childe said are all based on speculation, and there are many untruths. Really, it can't be used to overturn Sister Snow's thesis. ”

Rick is a man who dares to admit his mistakes. I probably thought that what I just said was a bit taken for granted, so I nodded and said, "You are right, but my intuition tells me that what I just said is probably right." Even if the decision to pull out the sneak attacker in front of me was hasty, and even if my instincts were wrong, I don't regret it. The shape of the imperial capital is too complicated, throw more stones, you can see more clearly, I think today we break into the martial arts hall, it will always cause some people to move. ”

Chrissy ignored his later words, but asked with a smile, "Intuition? What intuition? ”

"A man's intuition!" Rick puffed out his chest.

"Haha!" The moon attendant laughed first, followed by Chrissy and the other three phoenix attendants.

Rick scratched the back of his head and asked suspiciously, "What's so funny?" I'm telling the truth. ”

The moon servant clutched his stomach and said, "I've never heard of 'women's intuition', and I haven't heard of 'men's intuition'. ”

Rick was very angry when he heard this, and sneered: "A group of crazy women, I don't know!" ”

As soon as he returned to the mansion, his subordinates reported that Zhang Nao, the Admiral's Mansion of the Nine Gates, had come to visit, and Rick thought that he had come to investigate the responsibility of pretending to be the Admiral of the Nine Gates in the Belin Martial Arts Pavilion, so he hurriedly greeted him. As soon as the two sides met, Rick hurriedly asked what he meant.

Zhang Zhi said to Rick with a heavy face: "The 'Six Blood Charm' is dead. ”

"How did you die? Aren't they being held in the prison of the Admiralty? Rick asked.

"The night before yesterday, someone broke into the prison, and the 'Six Blood Charms' and several guards were killed with a sword."

"Do you see who it is?"

Zhang Zhen shook his head: "The person who came was too tall, and the people who saw him died." The adults have been very anxious in the past two days, and sent a lot of people to inquire around, but there is no news of the murderer. I think this matter will have to be put aside for the time being, because Commander Miao was assassinated, and the adults put most of their energy on that case, because His Majesty strictly ordered to arrest the murderer with all his might. Speaking of which, Zhang Jiao apologized to Rick for sending the news over two days later. Rick wasn't too surprised by the news, he didn't expect the Admiral of the Nine Gates to solve the case, and he had gradually seen the situation in the imperial capital: the center of power of a powerful empire, as originally expected, it was a whirlpool—a huge whirlpool, and anyone who walked in it would do something he didn't want to do. Sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice others for the sake of one's own interests.

After Zhang was gone, Rick walked into the study alone—he had never been in before, and he sat back in his chair alone, pondering for a long time. Thinking back on the experiences of these days over and over again, he even thought of Tarris, Michelle, his cousin Lawrence, Stella, Lin Camel, Lin Su, Lin Yi...... Many people seemed to be quite far away from him, and indulged in memories with them.

"For the sake of loving me and the people I love, I should keep going." A voice said in his mind, and a confident and cynical smile appeared on Rick's lips again.

It has been said that memory gives strength. Maybe that's exactly what he is.

Just as Rick was indulging in the blend of memory and emotion, he suddenly felt wet on his cheeks, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out to be a pair of cute flesh-winged little phantom beast Coco, who was eating Rick's cheeks deliciously.

Rick grabbed it out of mid-air almost roughly, placed it on the desk and said, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a few days, you're gaining weight again." ”

Coco has a fat chest of white velvet, which seems to say, "Of course." ”

"You and that Bobo guy only know how to eat and sleep all day, sleep and eat." Rick pinched Coco's little nose and said, "I'm not afraid to die." ”

Coco opened her eyes with sparkling eyes, as if she didn't understand what was wrong with "eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating". It crawled along its arms towards Rick's body, and halfway through the climb, when suddenly its wings spread and went straight to the leather bag around Rick's waist, which contained Rick's most precious animal magic crystal and the golden horn of the snake.

"What do you want to do?" Rick exclaimed.

Coco raised her head, and her sparkling eyes seemed to read: What else can you do, naturally you will eat it.

Rick hurriedly pulled it off the leather bag, thinking to himself that with Coco's teeth that even ten thousand years of magic crystals could gnaw, the leather bag was not like a piece of paper under its mouth, and now the plan was to escape. Thinking of this, he threw down Coco and quickly escaped from the study. However, he underestimated Coco, the little guy was already able to fly when he was in Luoxia Mountain, and now his ability has increased a lot, and as soon as Rick escaped, he immediately chased after him. The little meat wings spread, and the speed was not slow. As a result, another good show in the Duke's Mansion was staged - the "wise" Earl Xia Hua and the red man in front of His Majesty were chased by a fat little phantom beast and ran around the mansion, attracting the whole mansion to stop and watch!

In the morning light, a wonderful morning exercise was being staged on a flat grass in the Duke's Palace. The sword shadow is elegant, the sword qi is Xiao Xiao, the two figures rise and fall, the sound of swords and swords striking each other comes from time to time, and suddenly the two of them in the field have a clear roar, and the sword light is like a match in the air several times in a row, but unfortunately no one can help anyone. As soon as the sharpness disappeared, the two of them landed helplessly, revealing a man and a woman, the man's body was majestic, and the female was more beautiful than Huajiao, who was the moon servant among Rick and the four phoenix servants.

Rick raised the sword in his hand and said, "Xiao Yue'er, I'm going to make a special move." ”

Yueshi Yao raised his nose and said, "Let the horse come, Miss Ben is also going to make a trick." ”

"Okay, look at my trick 'flowers float and water flows'." The voice was still rippling in the air, his sword style had already unfolded like flowing water, the moon servant did not dare to be careless, and the long sword suddenly played the first sword of the thirteen swords of the moon, "the wind passes through the remnant sun and twilight is like blood", which can withstand Rick's continuous attack like a trickle of water. Rick saw that the sword was useless, and he was not discouraged, the long sword stood up to the sky, and made the second move in the nameless swordsmanship that he had never used before, "The end of the world has no road to the wind Xiao Xiao", the sword style has not been developed, the surrounding atmosphere has become bleak and cold, as if there will be a cold wind blowing at any time, Rick's heart swept a trace of desolation and depression for no reason, he looked up to the sky and roared, the long sword suddenly drew a strange circle along the body, with the completion of this circle, the wind on the grass suddenly rose, blowing people want to crack. The moon attendant's face changed suddenly, and even Chrissy, Qinglu and the others who were watching from the side were quite nervous.

"Childe's move is very powerful." The heron stared intently at the middle of the field
