There are always some people in this world who you can't really care about what you do. For Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin, Xia Dong is such an existence. So although both of them sank their faces and showed unhappy expressions, they still didn't dare to really complain.

"Come, let me see where the poison you used to kill yourself is hidden?" Xia Dong squatted down, lifted up the killer commander on the ground, and pinched his jaw that had been removed, so painful that the man's feet kicked wildly, and his face was as white as wax, "Tsk, it's still hidden in your teeth, it's really uncreative, can't you change places?" ”

Although her tone was relaxed, Xiao Yan, who was listening from the sidelines, couldn't help but be shocked and glanced at each other.

Once the killer who is caught will commit suicide immediately, he is already the most senior dead soldier in the industry, not only difficult to find, but also extremely expensive, what kind of investigation results did Xia Dong achieve in Binzhou, which will make people jump over the wall to such a point?

"There's no way to ask questions like this, you still have to take out the poison sac," Xia Dongli ignored the changing faces of the two people beside him, and studied how to take out the poison sac between the killer's teeth, so that he could take his chin back for interrogation. Most women are born clean, even Xia Dong, who is often mistaken for a beautiful man, is no exception, she twisted the man's chin and looked at it for a long time, but she didn't think of how to take out the poison sac without putting her fingers in, and the last one was impatient, and she picked up her arm and punched the person in the side of the face, only to hear a muffled snort, and at the same time that the killer spurted out a mouthful of blood, several teeth and a small intestinal skin sac were also spit out.

Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin glanced at each other for the second time, and their faces turned even bluer. Sure enough, she is still a female demon, and her ruthlessness is not worse than back then......

Xia Dong wiped the back of his hand on his clothes casually, and returned the killer's chin to its original position with two clicks, but he was not in a hurry to ask, but first grabbed one of the person's wrists and twisted it hard, and suddenly the wrists were broken, the muscles and bones were broken, and the pain was so painful that the other party couldn't scream, so he could only open his mouth wide like a dying fish and inhale, his body spasmed and twitched, and his eyes shot a resentful look.

"How dare you look at me like that?" Xia Dong sneered, picked up the man's other hand, and pinched it all the way up his wrist, only to hear the sound of broken bones, and pinched this section of his forearm like soft mud, the man screamed and fainted, and it didn't take long for him to wake up in pain.

"Sister Xia Dong!" Although he knew that the other party was a murderer and did not blink, Xiao Jingrui still couldn't look at it, "Stop, this is too ...... Besides, aren't you still going to ask? It's not good to torture to death......"

"That's right, I almost forgot if you didn't say it," Xia Dong sneered and grabbed the killer's hair, lifted his head, stared directly into his eyes, and said in a cold tone, "I prefer torture to questioning, don't answer too much, it makes me less fun to torture......"

"Sister Xia Dong......" Xiao Jingrui wanted to say more, but was dragged aside by Yan Yujin and dissuaded, "Don't care, the Hanging Mirror has its own set of methods, and we can't intervene." ”

"Is this torture effective?"

"The other party is a killer who fights for his life, and if he is not ruthless, he is afraid that he will not be able to ask half a word. If you don't get used to it, just don't look at it. How can everything in this world be gentle and humble? Yan Yujin glanced back and sighed, "It seems that Qingguogong's case is not so simple, I don't know how much turmoil it will cause." ”

"I think it's a little strange," Xiao Jingrui frowned, "Everyone knows that the Hanging Mirror Envoy is not easy to mess with, rather than spending so much effort to deal with Sister Xia Dong, it is better to desperately prevent the plaintiff from entering Beijing in the first place." If they had sent a killer of today's level to hunt down and kill Hu Gong and Hu Po from the beginning, where would they have their lives to escape into the Jiangzuo realm...... Now that the imperial form has also been submitted, and the Hanging Mirror Envoy has also acted under the secret order, some people are in a hurry to extinguish their mouths, isn't this easy to ask for difficulty? ”

"Maybe Qingguo Gong didn't know it at first...... Yan Yujin thought for a while, "The people over there in Binzhou probably thought that they could find a way to deal with it, and the person who should have been notified didn't notify them, but I didn't expect to be helped by us halfway through, so that the plaintiff could successfully enter Beijing and sue the royal court." The people who were involved were a little panicked......"

Xiao Jingrui shook his head and said: "If Qing Guogong didn't know about it at the beginning, then it's a big deal and a crime of conniving at his relatives, why not chase and kill the Hanging Mirror Envoy for this?" ”

"Maybe Sister Xia Dong found something else in Binzhou, maybe the person who chased her and killed her had nothing to do with Qing Guogong at all, maybe she added a new enemy when she went out with that temper," Yan Yujin shrugged and said, "There are too many possibilities, I don't like to think about these, it's annoying, let Sister Xia Dong worry about it herself, and when she finds it out, let's go directly and ask the answer, so as not to guess here." ”

"Ahh Xiao Jingrui suddenly exclaimed, Yan Yujin was startled, and looked at his line of sight, only to see Xia Dong throw the killer's soft body on the ground like throwing a dead dog, and took out a silk scarf from his arms to wipe his hands, and the two eyebrows that were curved like a crescent moon were together.

"What's wrong?" Yan Yujin asked.

Xiao Jingrui's expression was a little solemn, and he slowly replied two words: "Dead." ”

"Xiao Rui's eyesight is good," Xia Dong flew a slanted look, "It's indeed dead." It's a pity, I wasted so many hands and feet to catch him, I didn't expect him to be coated with huge poison under his lips, and he died when he stretched out his tongue and licked it, it's disgusting, and he is not afraid that he accidentally licked it when he didn't want to die......"

"Did you ask anything?" Yan Yujin took a few steps closer, looked at the bruised and terrifying face of the dead corpse on the ground, and quickly moved his gaze to the side, "He is a leader anyway, and he always has some clues in his mouth." ”

"He only said four words......" Xia Dong said expressionlessly, "there is no end." ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's just that this thing isn't over yet." Xia Dong flew up and kicked the corpse a few feet away, and scolded, "Damn, he still used him to tell me that it wasn't over, and he provoked me along the way, even if they wanted to end it, I didn't want to!" ”

"Sister Xia Dong......" Yan Yujin wiped her cold sweat, "You are a woman, you can't scold foul language, it's too uncivilized......"

"Yo," Xia Dong leaned over with a gentle smile, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of charm, "Xiaoyan has grown up and knows what a woman is, come and tell my sister, how do women talk to you?" ”

Yan Yujin took a few steps back and hid behind Xiao Jingrui, I don't know how much I regretted my quick mouth, and said with a smile: "No, our sister Xia Dong is beautiful, smart and capable, and she is the most amazing woman in Daliang Country." ”

Xia Dong sneered a few times and said, "Where am I the most amazing, I heard that the most amazing woman is finally going to recruit a wife?" What's the situation now, have you been recruited? ”

Yan Yujin was very surprised for a while, and when he looked at Xiao Jingrui, his expression was also surprised.

In fact, since leaving the Tree Man Courtyard, the two of them have not often had the opportunity to meet Xia Dong, so they don't know what she thinks of the Nihuang County Lord. But in any case, Nihuang is the lord of the county, and her noble conduct is well known, and Xia Dong, as a hanging mirror envoy, is also regarded as a courtier, so it is really not appropriate to talk about her in such a mocking tone.

"What, Sister Xia Dong doesn't like Lord Nihuang?" Xiao Jingrui couldn't help but ask.

"You can't tell me if you like it or not, do you?" Xia Dong's tone was still cold and hard, but for some reason, it made people feel a little sad when they heard it, "She is a strange woman, she should have married a long time ago." When I came to her camp ten years ago to help, I told her that as long as she married, I would consider her a good friend. ”

The more the two listened, the more confused they became, they couldn't know what Xia Dong's attitude was towards the Nihuang County Lord, and after staying for a long time, Yan Yujin asked in a low voice: "Then Sister Xia Dong means that if the county lord doesn't marry for a day, you won't recognize her as a good friend for a day?" ”

"That's right."

"Why is that? Is it true that women make friends with each other to see if they can get married? ”

Xia Dong's eyes were like ice, and he glanced at the two of them coldly, and said, "You are too young, and you don't know many things." Anyway, it has nothing to do with you, so don't ask. ”

"Are we too young?" Yan Yujin shouted, "How many years older is the county lord than us?" ”

"Accidents often happen in the blink of an eye, sometimes a year can become a lifetime," Xia Dong looked straight ahead, his cheeks were a little pale, and a few strands of hair were stained between his neck, although his expression had not changed, but the whole person suddenly felt a little weaker, "In fact, she didn't know too much about what happened back then, but she was the person concerned, so she couldn't break free." But you're different...... You are completely outside, and the past is like a deep mountain blocked by heavy snow, and it is difficult for irrelevant outsiders to enter it again, so why should you pursue it just out of curiosity? ”

Xiao Yan and the others looked at each other, still understanding or not, but they had already said that they should not ask again, so it would be difficult to chase after each other. What's more, the person standing in front of him was the female demon of the Tree Courtyard, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous.

"You haven't said it yet, what kind of husband did the county lord choose?" Xia Dong shook his head, and his dazzling white hair flashed in the green silk, as if he had shaken off the memories that had just overflowed his heart, "In such a large-scale competition, you can always pick a few good people to come out, right?" ”

"It's not yet confirmed, there will be a literary exam tomorrow." Yan Yujin sighed, "But I still have to compete with the Nihuang County Lord, and there is no hope if I lose." I don't think any of the selected people are her opponents, and I haven't found anyone she particularly likes, so it seems that she doesn't plan to marry this time. ”

The corners of Xia Dong's lips curled slightly, and he teased: "Look at you like this, you're still a little unconvinced, right?" ”

"That's what it is," Yan Yujin raised his chin, "What's wrong with me, why didn't she think about it seriously?" ”

"You're actually very good...... it's rare that Xia Dong didn't splash him with cold water, "But for Nihuang, you're a little younger, she's already a military commander in charge, and she probably only looks at people who are more mature than her in her eyes." ”

Yan Yujin sighed exaggeratedly, and sighed sourly: "I was not born when you were born, and I am ......old when I was born."

"Hey," Xiao Jingrui kicked him with tears and laughter, "Don't think about it, who do you say is old?" ”

"Ahhh But what I mean, you know, is that I regret that I wasn't born a few years earlier...... If I were the same age as Brother Su now, the county lord wouldn't just treat me like a little brother......"

"Don't get involved with Brother Su," Xiao Jingrui glared at him, "Brother Su is more mature and stable than you, how can he just be older?" ”

"Yes, in your eyes, of course, no one can compare to Brother Su. But what does he think of the county lord, does the county lord mean anything other than appreciating him, I can't see it......" Yan Yujin originally wanted to sigh about the matter in Wuying Hall today, remembering that Xia Dong was the pre-driving mirror envoy, and this matter involved the palace, not to mention that Mei Changsu has been unwilling to explain more, only saying that there will naturally be news circulating for everyone to know tomorrow, and there are some secrets involved, so it is better not to say it.

"Don't think nonsense," Xiao Jingrui after all, he respects Mei Changsu as a confidant brother, and he doesn't want anyone to talk about him behind his back, and he is also worried that Yan Yujin will be happy, so he also said what happened after the emperor left today, adding unnecessary trouble to Mei Changsu, so he immediately intercepted his words and said: "Sister Xia Dong just came back, you said something serious, wouldn't it be okay to tell you the information of the ten candidates?" ”

"I'm not interested in any ironclad candidates," Xia Dong said lightly, "It's this Brother Su who attracts attention." While I was lying on the grass, I listened to you two talk about him as if he were a character. Why, is this person a little talented, so he came to the capital with ambition to prepare to chase fame and fortune? ”

"Brother Su is not this kind of person!" Xiao Jingrui was very unhappy, "Sister Xia Dong doesn't know him, how can she make a rash assertion." ”

"It seems that you respect him very much," a chill flashed in Xia Dong's eyes, "What's wrong if you don't know?" I'll get to know him. All the princes and kings are vying to solicit them, and their worth is higher than that of the Nihuang County Lord. There is such a character appearing in the capital, how can you not get to know it well as a hanging mirror envoy. ”

Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin looked at each other nervously a few times, and roughly communicated with their eyes, and finally Uncle Guo's son stepped forward and said, "Since Sister Xia Dong mentioned it, we also have to explain." Most of the conversations you heard just now are our speculations, and some of them are angry words when you have an awkward quarrel with a friend and are unhappy. Brother Su is a friend of the two of us, and he has not had any misdeeds since entering Beijing, please don't be prejudiced against him because she listens to some gossip......"

"Don't worry," Xia Dong looked at the serious expressions of the two young people in front of him, and couldn't help but smile, "Naturally, you have to check it first." We won't say anything in the emperor's ear, is it a rumor-spreader to be a hanging mirror envoy? ”

Of course, this answer still doesn't sound satisfactory, but if you force more words, I'm afraid that it will increase Xia Dong's interest in Mei Changsu even more, not to mention that everything that should be listened to and shouldn't be listened to is listened to by others, and I can only blame myself for not being vigilant enough, and I can't blame others for being too careful.

"It seems that there will be no more uninvited guests visiting today," Xia Dong looked at the expressions of the two of them, but he didn't care, and casually tidied up his clothes, and said, "Let's go into the city together." Let me ride Xiao Yan's horse, and you two will ride Xiao Rui's horse. ”

"Ah," Yan Yujin said bitterly, "we two big men are crammed into one horse......"

"It's okay to come and ride with me," Xia Dong smiled lightly, "Who's coming?" ”

The two young men turned white and shook their heads vigorously at the same time.

"Then I have to wronged you. Xiao Rui, bring the horse over. ”

Xiao Jingrui obediently brought the mount that was grazing freely with his head bowed, and handed over the reins of the horse, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xia Dong, do you want to wrap your wounds first?" Looks like some blood is oozing out......"

"In the end, you are still considerate and careful," Xia Dong smiled slightly, "It's okay, let's deal with it thoroughly after entering the city." ”

"Sister Xia Dong is really injured?" Yan Yujin stretched out his head with concern, "Where is the injury?" ”

Xia Dong stretched out his fingers and flicked his forehead: "Stinky boy, do you know?" These killers are not fuel-efficient lamps, and if you don't really see some blood to show them, how can it be so easy to attract this shrunken dead man? ”

Xiao Jingrui glanced at the corpse a few feet away, frowned, and said, "Does this person care?" ”

"A dead man who won't speak again, but like a scrap knife discarded by his master, what do you pick it up?" Xia Dong's tone was cold, "Go back and let Jingzhao Yin Mansion send someone to drag it and bury it, it's annoying enough to put it here." ”

"That's the only way, the killer's body must be very clean, and there probably won't be any clues. Let's go. Yan Yujin pulled the saddle and turned over, Xiao Jingrui also jumped on the horse and sat behind him, he was so happy to throw the reins of the horse backwards, and didn't care about anything.

"Hey, no bones, you're comfortable." Xiao Jingrui scolded with a smile, but he didn't care too much. At this time, the feet of the sun were already slanting to the west, and in the slight neighing of horses, the three people and two horses dragged a long shadow and went straight to the gate of the royal capital.
