Zhang Lie's arrival diluted the gloomy atmosphere in the room in a timely manner, and Lu Xiao instructed Yongzhen and Xiaoxue to carry Chen Fu back to his room, and brought Jing Qiu, whose face slowed down, and Yu'er, who had a complicated expression, downstairs to greet him.

"Don't worry."

Lu Xiao rubbed Yu'er's head and comforted: "You have grown a lot on this trip, Brother Zhang will only feel relieved to see you, at most a small reproach." ”

"Hmph~"

Yu'er turned her head and retorted stiffly: "I'm not worried! ”

"Then don't put on that sad face......"

"You have to take care of it!"

Zhang Lie is a strong middle-aged man with a bearded face, nearly two meters tall, and he is an out-and-out giant in this era.

Lu Xiao officially met Zhang Lie for the first time, and the heroic spirit that came to his face made him speak highly of Zhang Lie when he first met.

"Haha! Little Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Zhang Lie first hugged his fists and greeted Chen Jingqiu, and then turned his head to look at Lu Xiao, who was standing in the first place: "Brother Lu, I have admired the name for a long time, my wayward sister-in-law didn't trouble you, right?" ”

Yu'er puffed out her mouth dissatisfiedly, and rarely showed a coquettish look in front of Zhang Lie: "Brother-in-law! I'm not willful! ”

Zhang Lie and Lu Xiao greeted each other with a smile, and when they turned their heads to look at Yu'er, the smile on Zhang Lie's face suddenly disappeared.

"You're embarrassed to say it! Do you know how worried Yue'er is about your safety? ”

mentioned her sister who had been dependent on her since she was a child, and Yu'er's momentum immediately weakened.

“…… Is my sister okay? ”

Zhang Lie choked angrily: "Hmph~ I finally didn't get angry with you." ”

Receiving the look of help from Yu'er, Lu Xiao stood up in time to play a round for the two.

"Brother Zhang, I think Yu'er has already made a mistake, this trip has also made her grow a lot, let her go for the time being."

Zhang Lie glanced at Yu'er who was carefully looking at him, sighed lightly, and nodded along with Lu Xiao's words: "Okay, today is a good day for the first time and reunion, let this wayward girl put aside for the time being." ”

When Zhang Lie was young, he was busy avenging the murder of his father, and he had no intention of getting married, and he was already old when he married Tuoba Yue'er, and he was definitely a late married person in this era when he got married at the age of the weak crown (20 years old).

According to Yu'er, Zhang Lie should be 43 years old this year, and due to his rugged beard, he looks much older than his actual age.

Yu'er is a few years younger than her sister Yue'er, and she just turned 17 this year.

is not so much a sister-in-law, Zhang Lie, who has no queen under his knees, but treats Yu'er as a daughter.

17-year-old Yu'er has entered the age suitable for marriage, Zhang Lie tested the relationship between her and Lu Xiao without a trace, but unfortunately he couldn't see any pink breath.

Zhang Lie, who has been traveling south and north for many years, has long developed a pair of discerning eyes.

Although Yu'er would jokingly quarrel with Lu Xiao from time to time, he could vaguely see his respect for Lu Xiao from Yu'er's eyes, which was very rare for Yu'er, who had been self-centered since childhood.

'A teacher and a friend?' It's not bad. ’

……

When Zhang Lie was greeted on the top floor of the inn, Xiaoxue and Yongzhen had already placed the unconscious Chen Fu.

The reunion with Zhang Lie after a long absence made Yu Xiaoxue's face show shy joy, and Yongzhen greeted Zhang Lie as a person from Lu Xiao.

After some greetings, the resolute Zhang Lie quickly turned the topic to business.

"Brother Lu, as early as after the end of the Demon King's mutation, I heard about your deeds from Brother Cheng and Brother Shubao."

Zhang Lie said solemnly: "I have the same opinion as you, the Yuwen Taishi who appeared in the Demon King that day is definitely not himself. ”

"According to the information found out by the Li Jing brothers, when you were in conflict with the Demon King and the fake Taishi, the real Yuwen Tuo was taking care of the follow-up matters of the dragon boat fire, and he was busy appeasing the angry Yang Guang, and he had no time to clone at all."

"The question is, who is pretending to be Yuwen Tuo, and for what purpose did he go to the Demon King to snatch Shennong Ding?"

Lu Xiao was quite impressed by Zhang Lie's intelligence gathering ability, "He is worthy of being an old man, as long as he uses his connections carefully, he will soon be able to get close to the truth of the matter through the patchwork of intelligence fragments." ’

Lu Xiao followed Zhang Lie's question and said, "About this...... Yu'er, do you remember the feet of those three impostors who were accidentally exposed? ”

"Hmm."

Yu'er subconsciously looked up at the roof, tapped her lower lip with her hand and muttered: "I remember, one of the imposters seems to blurt out the fake Yuwen Tuo 'Jun' or something. ”

"Jun? Army? ”

Zhang Lie thoughtfully touched his bearded chin: "Could it be that you want to be called Junhou?" Is it the leader of any faction? ”

"No, the real pronunciation is not Jun."

Lu Xiao corrected: "That imposter said it relatively briefly, and he realized his mistake after only half of it, and it was inevitable that he would hear it wrongly. ”

"Unfortunately, my five senses are better than ordinary people, and I can hear the true meaning of the other party in that very short pronunciation."

"That's not Jun, it's the pronunciation of the word 'Jun'."

Chen Jingqiu, who has the highest literary skills, counted his fingers and said: "Jun, Jun, Jun, Jun......"

"Wait."

Zhang Lie suddenly thought of something, frowned and saw Lu Xiao confirm: "Brother Lu? It can't be some county king, right? ”

Lu Xiao smiled and shook his head: "Although it is not hit, it is not far away." ”

"According to my observations over the past few years, I can basically confirm who the person who is pretending to be Yuwen Tuo and his subordinates is."

Following Lu Xiao's gaze to the north of the inn, Zhang Lieleng paused for a moment, and then showed a look of surprise and consternation: "Could it be ...... Is it the county lord Dugu Ningke? ”

Due to the changes caused by Lu Xiao, Chen Jingqiu and Yu Xiaoxue did not have in-depth contact with Dugu Ningke, but only saw it once in Daliang City from a distance outside the palace.

Suddenly hearing that one of the three big men of the Demon King was a delicate county lord disguise, both of them had disbelieving expressions on their faces at the same time.

Jing Qiu touched his head blankly: "I also used to disguise myself as a woman and mix with Yang Guang's boat to collect dragon boat palace maids, it's not incomprehensible for a woman to dress up as a man, but how can a county master with a short stature pretend to be a majestic Yuwen Taishi?" ”

Dugu Ningke is only less than 1.6 meters, and Yuwen Tuo is similar to Lu Xiao's figure, about 1.8 meters, Chen Jingqiu can't understand how she can make up for such a big height difference.

"It's simple."

In front of everyone, Lu Xiao took out the disguise props from the carry-on space, and fiddled with Jing Qiu and the others with his back to the unknown reason.

When he turned around again a few minutes later, Lu Xiao's appearance looked almost the same as Zhang Lie's, and the shoes covered by the long shirt had been transformed, making his height look similar to Zhang Lie's.

"This ......"

Chen Jingqiu was dumbfounded, but Zhang Lie let out a hearty laugh: "It turned out to be a disguise technique, no wonder Brother Lu was able to evade the inspection of Daxing City as a wanted person." ”

"In other words, what I saw before is not your original appearance, right?"

Lu Xiao nodded, wiped off all the disguises on his face, and revealed his original appearance: "I am in a hurry, please forgive Brother Zhang, this is my original appearance." ”

"Haha! It doesn't matter, I can understand. ”

After some gags, Zhang Lie's expression became serious again: "If that Dugu County Lord or the people around her also know the disguise technique, then the original three impostors can be justified." ”

"Unfortunately, we can't produce any evidence."

"Yes."

Lu Xiao nodded and said: "This is the biggest problem, Dugu Ningke's actions can be said to be leaky, even if we know that she is the ghost, with her status as a relative of the emperor, we can't do anything about her on the surface." ”

"Hmmm......"

Zhang Lie pondered for a while, and when he couldn't think of a solution, he skipped the topic for the time being.

"Let's not mention how to expose her, why did the Dugu County Lord pretend to be Yuwentuo and seize Shennong Ding? Could it be that she also believes in the Ninety-Five Formation and wants to become the emperor as a daughter? ”
