Chapter 525: Jiao Turns into a Dragon
As if seeing Wen Xiaoyun's doubts, She Pi explained: "Thinking of this legend here, it actually has some relationship with the old man's life experience. Because the old man was born with snake eyes, whether it is relatives or neighbors, they have a lot of discussions about the old man. There are too many people who say that the old man is a heretic.
It is also because of this experience that the old man does not like people's words, but loves snake language more. Of course, snakes, insects, rats and ants are too filthy, so the old man does not want to degrade himself as a snake. However, Jiao and the like are more in line with the old man's temperament. ”
Wen Xiaoyun and Bai Hu glanced at each other, they understood the meaning of She Pi's words.
She Pi prefers to think of himself as a Jiao who has not become a dragon.
Seeing the expressions of the two, She Pi already knew what they were thinking, and laughed at himself, "You two dolls guessed well, the old man is comparing himself to Jiao, so after being subject to the jurisdiction of the court thieves, he chose this Jiaodao as a place to live."
Wen Xiaoyun's brows furrowed, she suddenly found an important piece of information, and looked at She Pi, "Senior She, are you saying that Jiaodao's residence was deliberately chosen by you?" ”
She Pi nodded, "Exactly." ”
Wen Xiaoyun: "Then you are very clear about the various directions of the upstream and downstream of this river?" ”
Bai Hu also noticed Wen Xiaoyun's concern, and then raised his attention together, carefully observing She Pi's various reactions and expressions.
She Pi replied: "The old man's daily food is not only the grass snake in the forest, but also the water snake in the Jiaodao. When I'm at home, I go to the Jiaodao to hunt and check if I have nothing to do. ”
Wen Xiaoyun continued to ask, "On the surface, it is a bird predator, but in fact, what the predecessors really want to wait for is a dragon that walks on the dragon." ”
She Pi paused, then raised her head and smiled, "Yes, the little girl is clever." ”
Wen Xiaoyun: "Then can you always introduce us to the river where we were ambushed?" ”
She Pi narrowed her eyes and said reminiscingly: "This river is wide and deep, and on the surface it looks calm and waveless, but in fact, the river below is rugged and bumpy, and there are many changes.
Some places are gentle, others have steep slopes. If you look at the section of the river where we had an accident, if you look at it from a distance, the surface of the river looks like two parts that have been split in two.
One half is high and steep, rushing like a waterfall, and the other half is much gentler than the slope. As long as you are a boat that often walks in this river, you know that it is a vital place. Will choose the gentle side of the boat.
After passing through that place, the river turns into the woodland downstream. Due to the obstruction of the bend and the forest, you will not be able to see the waterfall that has just been hidden.
It is said that the strange river channel was knocked out by the huge tail of a dragon when it passed by a dragon a hundred years ago. ”
Wen Xiaoyun frowned unconsciously, and looked in the direction where She Pi raised her finger, and sure enough, she couldn't see the part of the river before it bended.
"Just cutting off the canopy is not enough to capsize. A reasonable guess is that after the roof of the boat was cut off, the bow of the boat lost control for a while and was swept into another undercurrent waterfall.
By the time we swam out of the cabin, we had been taken gently downstream by the ship. We in the river naturally went down the river, and by the time we escaped the rain of arrows from the sneak attack, we had already marched far away. ”
She Pi nodded, "That should be the case." ”
Wen Xiaoyun raised her head again, "This gives rise to two questions, the first is the previous time problem. If it was a temporary kill by the people of the Wen Xiang Sect who followed Brother Bai all the way from Yanzhou Mansion, there would be no time to do such an elaborate game. After all, Brother Bai met our boat on the way here, and he didn't stop after encountering it, and went straight down the river together.
It wasn't far from the place where Brother Bai and we met to the place where the accident happened, and it didn't even take half an hour to go back and forth. Besides, there are officials behind Brother Bai who are secretly following. As long as the person who is following you gets closer, they can be spotted.
The second suspicion is that if they are going to kill us, why didn't they continue to follow the current? But it disappeared after a rain of arrows? Are they so confident that if the boat capsizes, we will be drowned in the river? ”
She Pi said guessingly: "Isn't there a vote behind the white boy?" Could it be that the people who were in ambush also wanted to chase after him, and suddenly discovered the large number of people hiding behind the white boy, and they were afraid that they would be discovered by the government, so they had to continue to chase and kill us? ”
Bai Crane said with a complicated expression: "At the beginning of our distress, the younger generation also thought so.
I thought that when the officers behind me saw an ambush, they would attack and arrest them. It wasn't until Yun Qing later analyzed Qin Qi that the younger generation suddenly felt an ominous premonition, and he couldn't recall Qin Qi with a whistle, that he realized that something was wrong. ”
Wen Xiaoyun nodded, she knew that Bai Yu had only said half of what he said.
Since She Pi could not find out the identity of the king of Baihu County, the identities of Qin Qi and the secret guards could not be clearly stated.
According to the work assignment of the secret guards in the past, Qin Qi was mainly responsible for personal guards, while the other secret guards were in a distant place.
Under the circumstances at that time, Qin Qi should have rushed out in time, and the other secret guards were responsible for dealing with the aftermath and settling the Wen Xiang Sect disciples who had come after him.
