Chapter 686: The Mire

Just when Li Kuang was uneasy in his heart, Xu Rui looked at the figure in front of him without changing his face, and said with a faint smile: "Your Excellency will set up a position as soon as you come, are you afraid that I will not be able to make a move?" ”

The figure groaned slightly, and suddenly waved his hand, and more than a dozen first-class masters lying on the roof immediately left in four or three.

Xu Rui's ears moved, and he could hear the sound they made when they moved clearly, and found that these masters did not go far, but guarded various key positions nearby, and once someone approached, they would be the first to stop them.

"Master Hou is also aware of the current situation, you and I are all responsible, of course we have to make some preparations in advance."

At this time, the figure finally spoke, and his voice was very hoarse, clearly the mysterious master Xu Rui met in the palace during the day.

After confirming the identity of this person, the trace of worry that Xu Rui secretly mentioned in his heart was finally gone, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency first left footprints in front of the burned ruins of the Orion family, which aroused my idea.

Then he sent someone to deliberately expose the flaws behind Hu Miao's house, and asked me to chase all the way to the south study to meet Your Excellency.

In the end, he was confused in the secret chess code and invited me to meet here. ”

"What, you said that the footprints and the code were deliberately left by him?"

As soon as these words came out, without waiting for the man in black to answer, Li Kuang asked in astonishment.

Xu Rui didn't answer, but stared at the man in black, waiting for his statement.

The black-clothed man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "Why did Master Hou say that these were all means for me to invite Master Hou here to meet?" ”

Xu Rui said with a smile: "Your Excellency said that you are laughing, the traces are so obvious, unless Your Excellency thinks that Ben Hou is a fool, how can you turn a blind eye?" ”

"I want to hear about it."

The man in black stared at Xu Rui quietly.

Xu Rui said: "Let's talk about the footprints first."

In front of the ruins where the Orion family was killed, there was only one clue left, if someone really came to investigate and accidentally left that footprint, then what about the other footprints? Why did you leave such a footprint?

If the person who came to investigate secretly is really a master, then he will definitely remember to clean up his traces, and it doesn't make sense to leave that footprint, so thinking about it, there is only one possibility, that is, the footprints are specially left for me to see.

Second, the master I found behind Hu Miao's house, at first I really thought he was related to the murderer, but when I saw him wearing the eunuch's palace clothes, I dispelled this idea.

Because if he really came to spy on me, he could have pretended to be a eunuch and secretly approached, so why should he use the gas machine to arouse my idea?

Moreover, after I found the man in black, he did not run away from the crowded deep palace, but ran towards the south study, which is also very unusual.

Now that I think about it, probably the man didn't expect me to find him so quickly, let alone catch up with him so quickly, so in a panic, he could only move closer to you, and you were near the south study at the time.

Finally, let's talk about the rubbing, maybe someone else will really confuse the rubbing you left with the rubbing of dark chess, but I definitely won't, because I know the code rules of dark chess.

Although the rubbings you left behind also echo the rules of the code, the code of the dark chess has always appeared in a system, and except for the code of the willow in the middle of the night, the other codes are specious existences, and some are even fabrications outside the code system.

This shows that this set of codes is definitely not left by the secret chess, maybe you found the code of this willow in the middle of the night from elsewhere and moved here.

You know very well that I found this code you left after cracking other codes, so you should also understand that I am very proficient in the code of dark chess, and it is impossible not to find out that this is a fake code.

But you have done so, and have not you brought my attention to it by this tactful way, and then invited me to come here to meet you, away from the eyes and ears of others? ”

As he spoke, Xu Rui sighed, hugged his fist at Li Kuang beside him and said, "I'm sorry Brother Li, the reason why I didn't say it clearly at the beginning is because they need to be one step ahead of me in order to arouse my ideas, which means that they know everything about me." ”

When Xu Rui said this, Li Kuang also came back to his senses, and said: "You and I are very hidden in investigating the case, and only I know the movements of your investigation, so you suspect that I am in a group with them?" ”

"Not bad!"

Xu Rui nodded unabashedly and said, "So I want you to come with me tonight, in fact, I am tempting, but when the man in black appeared, your worries did not seem to be fake."

If you are really one of them, you have achieved your goal by this time, and you should not hide anything, it seems that you do not know about this matter, and they have other means to monitor our every move. ”

Li Kuang nodded and said: "At this time, I will also doubt myself, this matter is too much to do, and one mistake is irreparable, I can understand it from Jinyiwei." ”

"Thank you!"

Xu Rui said to Li Kuang with a sincere fist, and he also understood that although Li Kuang could understand, there would always be unhappiness in his heart, but this was not the time to comfort him, only wait for this matter.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Suddenly there was a sparse round of applause from the silent old house.

Black Shadow looked at Xu Rui and the two of them and applauded slowly.

"Wonderful reasoning, Hou Ye really hit the nail on the head, and guessed all my thoughts, I'm afraid that only Hou Ye can come to my appointment in the middle of the night, right?"

Xu Rui smiled faintly: "Now, there is no need to say more compliments, compared to my carving insect skills, Your Excellency's deep lurking is really admirable."

You and I have gotten along day and night, and in addition to respect, I have always thought that Your Excellency is a high-ranking person and a famous family, I am afraid that I am not very good at these subtle latent ways, but I did not expect that Your Excellency is deeply hidden. ”

"Oh?"

Black Shadow heard the words and played: "So Hou Ye has already guessed my identity?" ”

Xu Rui smiled: "Your Excellency may be afraid that I really misunderstood, which will affect the direction of the investigation, so you gave me too many hints, if you can't guess it again, wouldn't it be a good intention to live up to Xiao Shangshu?" ”

Speaking of which, Li Kuang was not too surprised by Hei Ying's identity, he had the ability to arrange so many means, and there was no second person other than Xiao Jinwu, the secretary of the military department, who could control the army.

Hearing this, Hei Ying shook his head and smiled, and gently uncovered the black jin covering his face, who would it be if it wasn't Xiao Jinwu?

"Boy, don't blame me for being so cautious, after the prince's rebellion, the whole capital has changed, and the old friends suddenly seem to have a new identity, and I have to determine which side you are on after not seeing you for three years."

After Xiao Jinwu revealed his true face, he immediately turned into Xu Rui's familiar appearance, and sighed and explained.

Xu Rui's eyes narrowed slightly and asked, "With the friendship between you and me, if Lord Xiao is not at ease, why don't you come to meet in person, I'm afraid that such a temptation will be outside, right?" ”

Xiao Jinwu smiled bitterly: "Boy, you underestimate yourself too much, with your current status, it is enough to influence the situation in front of you, if I come rashly, if you have other ideas, won't I fall into the net?" ”

Xu Rui frowned: "Are you worried that I will take the opportunity to become king?" ”

Xiao Jinwu said with a smile: "Others don't know, but I know that at present, Dawei's taxes have skyrocketed several times, but most of them are from your Galaxy Group, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are Dawei's money bag."

In addition, you also have a military factory, a grain base, an invincible Apocalypse Guard, and a thousand miles of territory that you have just conquered, and it has long been rumored in the court that you now have the power to seal the territory.

Right now, the situation is turbulent and stormy, I have to find out first that you are still not the Xu Rui I knew three years ago! ”

Xu Rui nodded when he heard this, judging from Xiao Jinwu's series of actions, he was indeed very cautious, but now that he had fallen to the King of Liao, why did he use so many means to let himself meet him?

Moreover, Xiao Jinwu fell to the King of Liao too quickly and too strangely, what happened behind this?

Xu Rui's mind turned back and forth, Xiao Jinwu seemed to know his doubts, and explained: "Things are far more complicated than you think, and I was forced to protect my life, and I didn't want to involve you until I found out that you were investigating the prince's rebellion."

To be exact, it was only after learning that you had secretly met the crown prince that I was sure that your original intention had not changed, and I decided to meet with you to discuss countermeasures. ”

Xu Rui looked at Xiao Jinwu in a daze when he heard this, and asked, "What is the matter with the prince's rebellion, and why do you want to fall to the King of Liao?" ”
