Chapter 255: The Puzzled Bureau
When Situ Nanyun opened his eyes, he found himself lying in the carriage, with Xu Xifeng sitting next to him, and the two just woke up at the same time, their eyes meeting each other.
"Wake up." Xu Xifeng said.
Situ Nanyun said "um", "Why are we in the carriage?" ”
Her eyes looked inside the carriage, and there was a familiar feeling, and her brow furrowed slightly, "Isn't this our Feng Sect's own carriage?" He lifted the curtain again and looked out, muttering, "This is still on this Yandu Street......
Just as he was wondering, a familiar voice suddenly came from the front of the carriage, "Where is it not on this Yandu Street?" We're now heading back to the Hyunfeng Inn. ”
"Qingying, why are you ......" Situ Nanyun was a little confused.
She remembered that Shi Yu'er gave them a stupor, and wanted to take them to Shi Yijian's Lingxiao Courtyard, why was they in Qingying's carriage? She thought that she was still asleep, and rubbed her eyes to look at everything in front of her.
"I met Shi Yu'er and rescued you from her." Qingying continued.
At the mention of Shi Yu'er, Situ Nanyun was even more confused, "How long have we been asleep?" ”
"Less than a stick of incense." Qingying replied.
"It seems that one of us is not drowsy, but a short-term hypnotic drug." Situ Nanyun hesitated.
"In this way, Shi Yu'er didn't want to send us to her Shi Yijian," Xu Xifeng's dark eyes stretched a line suspiciously, "But she has been so busy for a few days, since it is not to design us, nor is it to deal with the Feng Sect, then what is it for?" ”
Situ Nanyun then sorted out Shi Yu'er's recent clues, and said: "I have a few suspicions, the first one is that Shi Yu'er is a cautious person, it's not that he doesn't know how tightly defended our Feng Sect is, and he frequently meets with the ghost, it seems that he doesn't want to escape our sight, and the person who came has no way to hide his own secrets, which is very confusing." ”
Xu Xifeng took over, "This second suspicion is that there are two groups of killers in the tea shop, the first batch was there early, but they didn't do it, and when the second batch of killers came out to attack us, the first batch of killers did not take the opportunity to join, but retreated to the side, which is also very strange." ”
"That means that these two groups of killers are not from the same camp, the second group can definitely be ghostly people, or people sent by Shi Yijian, and this first batch of people is likely to be sent by Shi Yu'er, if so, then what does she want to do?" Situ Nanyun then said puzzled.
Xu Xifeng met her gaze, "Yes, these are unbelievable places. ”
Unable to find a reasonable answer, the confusion in Situ Nanyun's eyes became thicker and thicker, and he looked at Xu Xifeng again, and suddenly asked, "Xifeng, do you know why I let go of that female killer?" ”
Xu Xifeng saw her mention another thing, and the corners of his mouth curled up in confusion, "But why?" ”
"Because her sword is not aimed at me, which means that she does not want my life." Situ Nanyun said.
"You've analyzed so much, I guess there's only one possibility." Qingying, who was riding a horse in front, interjected at this time.
"What is possible?" Situ Nanyun and Xu Xifeng asked almost at the same time.
"She's not targeting you at all, you're more like props in her hands." The corners of Qingying's mouth hooked slightly.
"You mean to say that Shi Yu'er just put on a play in front of us?" Situ Nanyun didn't find a place to solve the crux of the problem, she also thought about this hypothesis, she said with a calm brow, "I can't think of what her purpose is in doing this?" ”
"Maybe she's acting this play for someone else?" Xu Xifeng followed Qingying's train of thought, continued, and then looked at Situ Nanyun, "Think about it, the second killer who appeared in the tea shop." ”
"You mean, Shi Yuer deliberately staged a scene to assassinate us in front of her father Shi Yijian." Situ Nanyun couldn't find out what this purpose was, so her thoughts never went out, "What is the purpose of her doing this?" ”
"If you want to act, there is only one possibility, that is, the party watching the play needs this scene." Qingying Road.
Awakened by Qingying, Situ Nanyun cleared the fog in front of her, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "I understand, it must be Shi Yijian who forced Shi Yu'er to deal with us, just as she said that she wanted to take us back to Lingxiao Courtyard, Cailian was still in Shi Yijian's hands, it must be Shi Yijian who took Cailian's life to danger Shi Yu'er, she didn't want to hurt us, but in order to protect Cailian, she had to perform this scene." ”
"I think it should be like this, only in this way can the above doubts be explained." Xu Xifeng met her eyes and affirmed, he seemed to feel a lot more relaxed, and said in a concluding manner, "She's not a bad person." ”
"Shi Yijian is ruthless, he doesn't necessarily care about the relationship between father and daughter, the last time in that secret passage, he didn't care about Shi Yuer's life and released the silver python. She wanted to trick her father into rescuing Cailian, and I was a little worried about her. Situ Nanyun had a worried look on her face.
At this time, in the courtyard of Lingxiao, the lanterns are colorful, the flowers and red silk decorate the courtyard and the courtyard are festive, the sound of silk and bamboo musical instruments is endless, and the courtyard is already crowded with people, and it is very lively.
Shi Xiao'er watched the Ten Halls of Yama busy dealing with the celebration, and sneaked into the perennial eerie "Yama Courtyard", which was a secret place like his father Lingxiao Courtyard, and the hidden weapons inside could be said to be dotted with secrets, and outsiders could not easily enter, nor dared to enter.
There were still many people in the courtyard who were guarding with ghost masks, and when they saw her coming in, they stopped her, "Miss, you can't go in." ”
"I can't go in, I'm your master's daughter, I can't go in, who can go in?" Shi Xiao'er said angrily.
The man who guarded was unmoved, "Whoever enters, must have a warrant from the old lord or a token of the Ten Yamas. ”
"You are all dumbfounded and don't know how to change, I am your master's daughter, that is, your master, do I still need a warrant to come in? Recently, my father has been busy with the celebration and has no time to separate, so he sent me to inspect whether you have been slacking off and neglecting your duty, and tell you that now someone is taking advantage of our ghostly celebration to want to hijack the people in the dungeon, and if the people inside are lost, how many lives do you have to atone for your sins? Shi Xiao'er scolded a few people, and while they were still hesitant to chew her words, she pushed them away and walked in with a swagger.
The people in the back wanted to stop but didn't dare to stop it, and there was a burst of "this" from their mouths...... This "sound."
Shi Xiao'er had been here secretly, so he easily avoided those hidden weapons, walked through several courtyards, walked through a dozen or so deep steps, and arrived at the entrance of the dungeon.
There was a guard at the door, and when he saw her coming in, he was taken aback, and stretched out his hand to stop her, "Miss, are you ......?"
"I've come to patrol this dungeon on my father's orders, and you open the door." Shi Xiao'er said directly.
"Miss please show the token or token." That's humane.
"How can this be true, I ask you if my father needs a warrant to come in?" She glared at him fiercely, eager to step forward and slap him twice as the price of being offended.
"The old man doesn't need to come in." The man replied.
"I'm my father's daughter, and I come on behalf of my father, so naturally I don't need to." Shi Xiao'er threw out the words angrily.
"This ......"
"Open the door, the guards in front let me in, and you dare to stop me?" Shi Xiao'er ordered coldly.
The man opened the door of the dungeon, Shi Xiao'er entered the dungeon, and someone followed.
The dungeon was dimly lit, eerie and terrifying, exuding a turbid musty smell, and there were people who were not in human shape everywhere in the spotlight, Shi Xiao'er covered her mouth and nose in disgust as soon as she came in, and her eyes swept from cell to cell, and she couldn't help but get irritated when she didn't find the person she was looking for.
"You, you come here." Shi Xiao'er pointed to the people who followed behind.
The man walked over and said, "Miss, what's the matter?" ”
"Where's Shi Yu'er's girl?" She asked.
"Over there." The man pointed.
Shi Xiao'er walked over, "Open the door." ”
The man opened the door, Shi Xiao'er popped out a needle in his finger, and the man was unprepared for her trick, and fainted with wide eyes.
Cailian's hair was messy, there was no good flesh on her body, her festering skin was exposed, and the red places were covered with yellow pus, which looked very scary. Seeing that Shi Xiao'er was startled, she resisted the urge to gag, and said sarcastically from her mouth, "This is not Miss Cailian?" ”
Cai Lian saw her through the gap in her hair and ignored her words.
"Yo, it's all like this, and you're still pretending to be tough in front of me, with Shi Yu'er's temperament, it's really a master and a slave." Shi Xiao'er sneered.
"But, listen, I'm not idle to do anything to taunt you, for your master's request, I disobeyed my father's order to save you, you'd better get acquainted." Shi Xiao'er continued.
Hearing Shi Yu'er's name, Cailian moved her lips, "My young lady asked you to save me?" ”
"Put on his clothes and go out with me." Shi Xiao'er said impatiently, seeing that she didn't act for a long time, she yelled, "Hurry up." ”
"I have a broken leg and can't move." Lotus Picking Road.
"You're such a nuisance." Shi Xiao'er finished speaking in disgust, and without saying a word, she stripped off her clothes and changed into the clothes of the dungeon guard.
"Honestly don't move, wait until I clean up the man in front." Shi Xiao'er carried Cailian out of the prison door, and when she was about to reach the door of the dungeon, she put her down.
Shi Xiao'er paced out of the door of the dungeon, and at this time, a seven-colored exquisite pearl fell out of her, and the guard of the dungeon immediately picked it up, "Miss, your bead has fallen." ”
As he spoke, the bead became red and hot in his hand, and the man's whole hand became red and swollen, and the redness and swelling quickly spread throughout his body, and in a short time the man was unsteady and fell to the ground.
Shi Xiao withdrew the colorful exquisite beads and smiled proudly, "The poison of the blood toad is really extraordinary. ”
