178. Countdown

If it weren't for the reminder of the Five Demon Immortals before, Mei had already told me everything.

And the horned man from before, confirmed my conjecture.

I think I'm going to lose at the hands of the people in Jinsha.

This scam is too seamless.

But there's one more crucial thing that I haven't figured out yet.

Who is the leader of this gang in Jinsha Town, that is, the person who is fighting against my fate?

I don't want to think about it anymore, because I feel like it won't be long before he shows his feet.

We packed our things and headed for the ferry.

"Xiao Wu, is the boat ready!" I shouted at Wu Zixuan.

"Got it!" Wu Zixuan said loudly.

I looked at Wu Zixuan's face, and he seemed to be very excited.

I don't know what he's excited about, maybe it's thinking that their plan is almost complete.

Immediately, we got on the boat.

"Let's go back to Jinsha Town first!" I say.

Wu Zixuan furrowed his brows and said that it was faster to return to Longgong City directly from Longmen Mountain in the Yellow River?

"Don't be in a hurry for a while, anyway, we have already got the Zhenhe seal, let the shaman with pigtails wait in Dragon Palace City for a while, play with him, let's go back to Jinsha Town first, have a good rest, change clothes, I am about to grow mushrooms." I say.

Wu Zixuan still disagreed with my proposal, saying that if you want to take a bath and change clothes, let's go back to his fourth uncle's house to change.

After grinding repeatedly for a while, Wu Zixuan didn't let go, and I simply had a showdown with him.

"It's okay, don't worry, we can't run away." I say.

After hearing me say this, Wu Zixuan's face changed suddenly.

But he was still playing dumb, saying he didn't understand what I was talking about.

"Let's go." I patted Wu Zixuan on the shoulder, and I didn't want to completely demolish him.

On the way back to Jinsha Town, the atmosphere on the ship has always been quite awkward.

I leaned on the side of the boat and looked at Wu Zixuan, who was driving the boat, he would glance at me from time to time, and then quickly withdrew his eyes.

I took two cans of beer that I had brought from Uncle Wu's house before, opened one by myself, and threw one to Wu Zixuan.

Wu Zixuan caught the beer, but did not open it, holding the helm with one hand and pinching the can of beer with the other.

I saw him so nervous, and I laughed out loud in my heart.

Even if he is already fearless, it is based on the premise that he is confident that he can completely hide from us.

The scam they laid is powerful, and it has blind spots.

He can even jump out on his face and say that he is the one who harmed us, and we may not believe it, because it is obvious that Feng Chuan and Li Biao in Longgong City are more suspicious than him.

And in his deception, as well as the story he made up himself, he and the gang in Dragon Palace City are completely opposites.

Because the people of Dragon Palace City took away Wu Qiqi, whom he liked, they should have a grudge.

After all, according to normal people's thinking, they will only look for who is the murderer.

No one could have imagined at all that everything is a scam and all are liars.

As a result, we must have been tricked by them.

When we return to Dragon Palace City, they can even take advantage of this scam and force us to kill each other!

Wu Zixuan thinks that he has exhausted the organs, and he has the chance to win, and he can play with us in the palm of his hand.

But now, when I mentioned the words, I didn't say it thoroughly, and deceived Wu Zixuan, pretending that I had already seen through everything, and I had already reversed the situation, which made Wu Zixuan panic to death.

But I'm going to keep lying to him.

Who is the leader of this group?

I'm going to give you the answer to that question as well.

"Xiao Wu, how old are you this year?" I asked Wu Zixuan.

"Twenty-two." Wu Zixuan said.

"Is it one year old?" I asked.

"Yes." Wu Zixuan nodded.

"Then you are still a year older than me, and I keep calling you Xiao Wu, which is quite rude." I smiled.

"It's fine." Wu Zixuan's face was extremely stiff.

"You've grown this big, have you ever been in love?" I asked.

Wu Zixuan pursed his lips and said, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"Just ask, let's make small talk." I say.

Wu Zixuan nodded and said that he had talked about it.

"Is the girl pretty?" I asked.

Wu Zixuan's face twitched, and he said that it was not beautiful, and it was even ugly.

"But in my eyes, it's the most beautiful." Wu Zixuan said.

His words are very sincere.

"Well, there is a shih hiff in the eyes of a lover." I say.

Then I sat on the deck and looked at Wu Zixuan's side face.

"Can you tell me about your love story with her?" I asked.

Wu Zixuan's cheeks twitched again, saying that he was not too embarrassed to say it.

"What's so embarrassing? I'd love to hear it, and besides, I think you're pretty good at telling stories. I said.

Wu Zixuan was still silent.

"Well, I'll tell you a story, the only love story I've ever heard in my life." I say.

"What kind of love story?" Wu Zixuan asked.

"A very tragic love story." I say.

"Brother Dahai, did you use the wrong word? It should be poignant! Wu Zixuan said.

"It's not poignant or miserable, I'll tell you now, that story is called a laughing city." I say.

It is said that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, a woman was born with an extremely ugly face and a tiger's waist.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the kind of ugliness that no one dares to marry.

The woman has also suffered a lot of white eyes and injuries because of her ugly appearance.

One day, the woman was walking down the street, surrounded and ridiculed, and then ran home in grief and complained to her parents that she had been stabbed too many times because of her ugly appearance.

But the woman's family, instead of comforting the woman, also spoke ill of the woman, saying that the people in the family were very good-looking, but she was so ugly and disgusting, it was really a shame for the family!

The woman was completely desperate and didn't want to continue to live, so she ran out of the house that night, intending to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river.

But when the woman ran to the river, she was shocked to find that the whole river had disappeared, and in its place was an incomparably majestic city.

"Stop." Wu Zixuan's face turned blue, and green veins appeared on his forehead.

"What's wrong? I'm not done yet. I looked at Wu Zixuan suspiciously.

"Don't tell it, it feels like it's going to be a boring and vulgar story, and I'm not interested in listening to it." Wu Zixuan said.

"Oh, okay then." I nodded.

After that, Wu Zixuan and I fell into a rather long awkward silence.

After a long time, I spoke again.

"I've always had a rather curious thing to ask you." I looked at Wu Zixuan.

"You say." Wu Zixuan's voice was extremely cold.

"We just left your fourth uncle's house, forgive my offense, your fourth uncle and fourth aunt are not particularly beautiful people, and they can even be said to be a little ugly, why is their daughter Wu Qiqi so beautiful?" I asked.

"I don't know, it's a genetic mutation, or a facelift." Wu Zixuan sneered.

I nodded, already having a point in my mind.

"I've changed my mind, let's not go back to Jinsha Town, let's go back to Dragon Palace City." I say.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Wu Zixuan squinted at me.

"Anyway, it's all back to your home, Dragon Palace City is more magnificent, and it's more comfortable to live in." I say.

At this moment, Wu Zixuan's expression completely froze.

"What's wrong? The lord of Ryugu Castle? Now, there's no need to continue to hide it, right? I stared at Wu Zixuan's face.

Wu Zixuan didn't say anything, just opened the can of beer, and then raised his head and drank it.

"You can guess this, it really surprises me." Wu Zixuan said.

At this time, Nameless and Xiao Xiyue also surrounded Wu Zixuan from the other side of the deck, and the three of us surrounded Wu Zixuan in a trapping situation.

"But even then, it's too late, and you've overlooked one thing." Wu Zixuan said.

"What's the matter?" I frowned.

"Look down and look at the palm prints on your palms." Wu Zixuan said.

I hurriedly raised my hand.

Suddenly, my eyes were about to fall.

Why is there only half of the lifeline on my palm print?

"Zhang Donghai, you have already been defeated, and you can't do anything unrecoverable." Wu Zixuan looked at me with a cold look in his eyes.

I was suddenly frightened and lost seven souls.

King Yu's water-covered array has already been launched?

When, exactly?
