9. Mysterious assassin

Surrounded by soldiers, the contemptuous car left the villa. After walking a long way, you can still see the people at the entrance of the mountain still standing there, looking forward to this side. Contemptuously grateful, and tears welled up in his eyes.

When he arrived at the camp, he did not send his contempt to the dungeon, but arranged to live in the post house. It's weird. Xie Jingliang said: "What kind of heart does this kid have? "No one could have guessed.

The room was spacious, with carved beds and bedding. At her contemptuous request, she lives in the same room with Masako. Sister-in-law Jiang lives in the same room with Erdan, and Xie Jingliang lives with the coachman. Masako was excited, saying that she had never stayed in such a nice room. The food is also very good, and the tableware used is all bronze utensils. It's just that Lu Li didn't show up again, and only sent two sergeants to stand guard outside the door.

After eating, the group went to the contemptuous room and sat on the floor. There was a clay oil lamp with a tray on the top and a pillar and a pedestal on the bottom against the wall of the house.

"Sister-in-law Jiang," Xie Jingliang said, "you are older than them. Tell me, why didn't Lu Liwei lock up Contempt in a dungeon, but let us all live in a post house? ”

Sister-in-law Jiang blushed and said coyly: "Zhuang Master, I am a woman from a Taoist family, where do I know about the affairs of the Taoist family?" ”

Xie Jingliang said: "I just heard that Xucheng, which is Wangcheng, has had a lot of strange things in recent days, including murders and arson. Perhaps, Lu Li wants to let Contempt Ran solve the case, right? ”

"Can you?" Masako wondered, "Oops! She shouted, "Sister Contempt will definitely be able to solve the case." ”

Erdan smiled stupidly: "Wang Cheng, it must be very funny." ”

Xie Jingliang said: "We all have to be mentally prepared!" ”

Everyone dispersed, contemptuously preoccupied. Xu Cheng has a life case, and Lu Li will let her solve the case by detaining her? If that's the case, Lu Li is too much of a thing! It is equivalent to using a bayonet to force yourself to solve a case. But I'm a junior high school student, and I can't solve the case!

She and Masako slept in the same bed, slept outside with disdain, and Masako slept inside. The two blew out the oil lamps and talked for a long time, all of which were gossip. As she spoke, Masako fell asleep. Defiant, but hard to sleep. She thought, in the future, I don't know what will happen to Lu Dao, can she cope with it?

Suddenly, I heard a low voice, coming from the window. Lying still and looking closely, there was indeed a figure by the window, leaning in front of the window, listening to the movement in the room. Contemptuously pretended to be asleep and did not move. She heard the window gently pried open, and a man crept in through the window. Contemptuously knowing that the Tao can't wait, she must strike first, this is what her father taught her. She jumped off the ground, started boxing, and shouted, "What person?" And the man rushed forward. Those eyes of contempt were not given for nothing. The reason why it looks like a wolf's eye and is like a light bulb is that it was trained by his father to practice boxing. She spotted the man's gap and slammed into the space. The man didn't give it in vain, he dodged to the side, and his right hand rushed rapidly, and it turned out that he was holding a knife in his hand. Shaking his body contemptuously, he looked at the other party's gap, and smashed it with a punch, right on the other party's cheek. The man snorted, leaped backwards, and the man came out of the window.

Ran shouted contemptuously: "Catch the assassin, catch the assassin!" "Run out of the door. But the night was dark, and the assassin was gone.

The people in the inn were all awake. Everyone wandered around the courtyard, looking for the Assassin, but there was no sign of them. Lu Li also came, and he sternly reprimanded the two guards assigned to the inn, saying that they had not done a good job of guarding. He went into the house of contempt, and the oil lamp was lit again. He faced Xie Jingliang, Sister-in-law Jiang, Yazi, and Erdan, and his eyes were full of questions.

"Qin Wuran, have you seen the appearance of the assassin clearly?"

"Nope. He was dressed in black and wore a black mask, and he couldn't see his face clearly. ”

"What about height?"

Ran thought for a moment: "Just you are so tall!" ”

"You can find mines, can you also calculate what an assassin looks like?"

Shaking his head contemptuously: "Every time I talk to God, I lose my physical strength, and it takes at least half a month to fully recover." I just finished searching for the mine yesterday, and my physical strength has been exhausted to the extreme, and I'm afraid that after I recover, I won't be able to identify myself as an assassin. ”

Lu Li paid attention: "Oh? It seems that this is your weakness. ”

"Yes."

Contempt had to admire Xie Jingliang's foresight. But looking at Lu Li's demeanor, he always felt that he was a little gloating, and he couldn't wait to punch him in the cold face.

Lu Li said: "Since the assassin is as tall as me, how could the operation fail, do you still have a special ability to protect yourself?" ”

Sneered contemptuously: "Lord Lu thinks I don't have the ability to protect myself? Immediately put up his fists and skillfully spun around the ground a few times. This action was sharp and light, and everyone except Xie Jingliang was surprised.

Sister-in-law Jiang said anxiously: "Contempt, do you still know martial arts?" ”

Masako clapped her hands: "Awesome! ”

Contemptuously ignored their discussions, his eyes only looked at Lu Li, and said contemptuously: "Lord Lu, if you don't believe it, we can compare and measure." I was defeated by you, and I am willing to be tricked by you, Lord Lu. ”

Lu Li paid close attention to his contemptuous movements, and his eyes widened. Contemptuously saw from his eyes that he was probably a martial idiot. "Huh!" A strange sound came from his mouth, both amazed and fascinated, as if he was still reminiscing about the action he had just made. "Your pace, it's special, it's special."

Sister-in-law Jiang said worriedly: "Lord Lu, do you still want to compare?" ”

Hearing it contemptuously, she was full of concern and didn't want Lu Li to try it easily.

But Lu Li didn't seem to hear Sister-in-law Jiang's words, his face was full of contemplation, and he spun around on the ground, obviously learning what he had just done. Contempt Ran was already standing calmly at this time, and her hands were naturally clasped in front of her chest, this was the battle action that her father taught her, which seemed to be inadvertent, but it was actually gaining momentum.

"No, no." Lu Li took a few steps away from learning, and shook his head again and again, "I didn't learn right." He stood still, looking at him with contempt, "Your steps are special, indeed special, I have never seen them." Okay, let's try and let's get to the point. ”

Said defiantly: "Why do you stop at the point?" It should be until I fell down and couldn't stand up. ”

Sister-in-law Jiang panicked and shouted, "Aren't you good at competing?" ”

Ran turned his head and smiled softly: "Sister-in-law Jiang, do you care about Lord Lu, or do you care about me?" ”

Sister-in-law Jiang was embarrassed and blushed, shaking her head: "I don't want to fight." ”

Said contemptuously: "It's okay, you all stand aside." Sister-in-law Jiang, you change my shoes. ”

Contemptuously looked at the burden that Sister-in-law Jiang gave her, where there were a pair of brown boots made of cowhide. I tried it with contempt, and I stood on my heels. Sister-in-law Jiang hurriedly brought her shoes. Changed it with contempt.

Contempt was very sure in his heart. Her father not only taught her boxing on the spot, but also explained to her the use of steps and the timing of punches through computer illustrations. The pace is determined by the characteristics of the muscles of Contempt, the use of modern scientific principles, and careful planning, and each step has a scale, angle, and strength to run. The same goes for punches, where each punch is based on the strength, angle, and speed of the opponent's punch, as well as the swing of the body. The wolf eyes of Contempt can accurately and timely measure each other. She didn't believe that this ancient man, who didn't know anything, would be as shrewd as her father.

Although the robes he was wearing were a bit of a hindrance, Contempt was determined to fight.

She hates Lu Li very much, and she wants to take revenge!

Lu Li was wearing armor, but he didn't wear armor on his head. It's good to hit directly in the face.

Lu Li was a little surprised: "You seem to be very sure." ”

"Is there any, depending on the results."

Lu Li said: "I have fought nearly 100 battles in large and small formations to get to where I am today. You're not afraid of hurting you? ”

Contemptuously provoked: "Are you a crap basket?" If you don't want to compete, surrender! ”

"Okay, okay." Lu Li raised his fists.

He is very experienced and very brave indeed. He became radiant and vigorous, and with his fists crossed, he spun around, and when he saw the gap, he rushed over and threw a ferocious punch. can move very fast, and the flickering and shifting are extremely proportional. Sometimes Lu Li's punch happened to pass her cheek, which seemed dangerous, but in fact, it was nothing serious, it was all in contemptuous calculation. However, in this way, Lu Li consumed a lot of strength, but Contempt only consumed one point. If he continues to fight like this, Lu Li's physical strength will be drastically depleted, but Contempt will lose very little, and he will be able to give his opponent a fatal counterattack at a critical moment. Contempt knows that only by fighting back can he be provoked, making him lose his proportions, lose his mind, and move chaotically, and Contempt can win in chaos.

After fighting for a while, he contemptuously knew that he had won the battle. Finally got the opportunity and threw a punch that hit him right on the left side of his face. After years of training, the muscles of Contemptuous Ran's arms are strong, and the force of the blow is very great. Lu Li was beaten and screamed, took a few steps back, and sat down.

"Oops!" Sister-in-law Jiang screamed in distress and went over to help Lu Li. Lu Li was beaten a little dizzy, his eyes were half open and half closed, he stared in confusion, shook his head, and subconsciously wanted to get up, but he couldn't. Sister-in-law Jiang cried and said, "Please, don't fight, don't fight!" ”

Contempt stood there like a big hero, staring at Lu Li with fierce eyes.

Xie Jingliang hurried over to help support Lu Li. Masako and Erdan ran to Contempt excitedly, and grabbed Contempt's arm one by one: "Sister Contempt, you are so amazing!" ”

Lu Li finally came to his senses. He pushed away Sister-in-law Jiang and Xie Jingliang, stood up, stayed for a long time, and sobered up. He stepped forward and bowed solemnly to Contempt: "Since I started martial arts, I have never lost like today. I'll admit, boxing is no match for me. Can you tell me, whose disciple are you? ”

Said contemptuously: "I can't tell." Can you let me go? ”

"I can't." Lu Li replied very simply. Stunned, calmer, straighter, the cold-blooded guy again. "I can't neglect my duties." His accent was clear, "Actually, I have already reported your matter to the king." My king was very interested and asked me to investigate on the spot. You are indeed so powerful that you have found a vein. My king wants you to make meritorious deeds. As long as you can help us solve some of the mysteries of the royal city, you can no longer be investigated for murder. ”

It seems that Xie Jingliang really guessed correctly! Contemptuously felt that this was too despicable, and choked with anger, and roared: "No wonder you have arrested me, but you have not let me go to the dungeon!" It turns out that he has such wolf ambitions! Tell you, I, Qin Wuran, am dead, and I won't help you solve the case! He snorted and sat down at the bed.

Lu Li frowned, speechless for a while, but his expression was very determined. Sister-in-law Jiang was in a dilemma, and later bowed to Lu Li: "Lord Lu, it's too late tonight." Please let the girl rest and talk about it tomorrow, okay? ”

Lu Li was speechless and looked at Xie Jingliang.

Xie Jingliang said: "Lord Lu, what happened to Xu Cheng?" ”

Lu Li shook his head slightly, not wanting to answer.

Xie Jingliang said to Sister-in-law Jiang: "You take the two children, go to your room for a while." ”

Sister-in-law Jiang hesitated. Xie Jingliang urged her again, and then left with Masako and Erdan. Lu Li watched them walk away, and then made up his mind: "Since the Zhuang wants to ask, I will no longer hide it, but this matter must be kept secret, and only those of us present can know the truth." My king's heirloom jade seal has been lost. ”

"Huh?" Xie Jingliang was shocked, "That's a big deal!" ”

Sitting on the bed, his body also moved.

"yes!" Tears suddenly welled up in Lu Li's eyes, quite sentimental, but he wiped them off immediately. "My king is troubled by this. However, since the matter is limited to a few people, it has not caused a storm. Now I'm afraid that the person who stole the jade seal will make waves. Moreover, the successive murder cases and arson cases in the royal city seem to be no longer peaceful. ”

Xie Jingliang pondered, his eyes turning to contempt. Twisting his body with a snort: "I don't care!" ”

Xie Jingliang secretly glanced at Lu Li and said, "It's normal to be angry in your heart with contempt. Lord Lu, I think what Sister-in-law Jiang said is very true, it's too late today, let's discuss it tomorrow! ”

Lu Li bowed: "That's it." ”

Say in your heart: Your mouth is as stupid as a mule, and you won't explain it anymore? Just bow! What's the use of just bowing for something so big?

Lu Li turned around and walked out. Xie Jingliang hurriedly said, "I'll send you." "Go out with him.

Contemptuously felt that it was wrong, Xie Jingliang must be plotting something with Lu Li. When I heard their footsteps go away, I jumped up too, gently pushed the door open, and crept out of the door. Outside, in the dark, is a courtyard surrounded by flowers and plants. Disdainfully saw two men standing under a tree.

Lu Li said: "Owner, no, I should call you sir, please persuade Miss Contempt Ran." ”

Xie Jingliang smiled softly: "Lord Lu, I see that you are very heroic, but you don't seem to be good at words. ”

Lu Li sighed: "Exactly." I'm a person who has been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I'm not good at socializing, so I really don't know how to convince Miss Ran. Although the girl is suspected of murder, she can also be pardoned. Actually, I should call her a goddess. But I always feel that it is too difficult to speak. ”

Xie Jingliang said: "You can call her Miss Contempt, it's very appropriate." Tomorrow morning, I'll talk to her again. However, I heard that King Xu is very benevolent, and the common people have a good reputation. ”

Ran thought to himself, why did Uncle Xie forget? Is the word word of mouth used in the Spring and Autumn Period?

Lu Li was suddenly a little excited: "Sir, the word you used is excellent and appropriately illustrates the reputation of my king. Now, nations are at war, and they all want to conquer each other. Although my king is merciful, my land is a piece of fat, and many nations want to swallow it. The case that appeared in Wangcheng was by no means an isolated phenomenon. Tonight, the Assassins came to assassinate the Contemptuous Girl, which is proof that they are afraid that the Contemptuous Girl will be in the sky and reveal their true colors. Therefore, I beg the gentleman to consult with Miss Contempt and be sure to do us this favor. ”

"Alright, alright, I'll give it a try!"

Contemptuously slipped back to the house where he lived. Thinking about Lu Li's appearance, it is indeed ridiculous. His loyalty to King Xu is by no means pretended! "Shenwu in the sky? Why did he use such a word? It seems that he is extremely convinced of me! ”

There was a moment of contempt and pride, but then there was extreme worry.
