After doing this, Zhu Chongba asked Cuihong to bring up the three basins of water. Cui Hong did as Zhu Chongba instructed.

Now all you have to do is put your hand into the three basins. Chen San, Niu Er, and Li Hu also did the same. But their hands were the same as usual, and there was nothing wrong with them. Li Hu glared at Zhu Chongba and said, "Zhu Chongba, Lao Tzu said that you are playing tricks, now you admit it." ”

Zhu Chongba just laughed, didn't say much, and didn't bother with Li Hu, he ordered people to move three basins of water outside the camp tent and the sun went down. The sun outside is very good, and the sun's white flowers are shining down, which is a little dazzling.

Zhu Chongba didn't care about this, he lay on the ground and looked at the water in the three basins. He looked at it from the front and from the back, from the back and from the side, and saw that it had been half a pillar of incense for so long, then stood up, pointed at Li Hu and said, "Li Hu, you are the spy who betrayed the generalissimo!" Zhu Chongba's voice was so strong that everyone was startled.

Li Hu almost jumped up angrily and yelled at Zhu Chongba: "Grandma, Zhu Chongba, believe it or not, Lao Tzu immediately split you, and you actually dared to come to wronged Lao Tzu, I think you are impatient." You say that Lao Tzu is a spy, do you have any evidence? Lao Tzu was the first to try your 'God said', and everyone saw it, Lao Tzu's hands are no different from the original, and you actually came to wronged Lao Tzu. I don't think you can find out, I want to find someone to back up. ”

"Yes, eldest lady, the three of us are loyal to the marshal, if you listen to the slander of outsiders and suspect that we are spies, it will really hurt the relatives, and the enemies will be soon." Niu Er also said on the side. His eyes were dodgy, as if he had something to hide, and he didn't say it.

"Zhu Chongba, I also think that your decision seems to be a bit hasty and child's play." Ma Xiuying finally spoke: "Miss Chu, could you be mistaken?" The three of them were all the most faithful people around my father, and if there were spies among them, then I really didn't know who to trust in this army. ”

"No!" Zhu Chongba shouted loudly: "Miss, Miss Chu is not mistaken. I'm not mistaken. Li Hu is indeed a spy. If you want to know why, I'll tell you slowly. ”

Only then did Zhu Chongba tell the reason: "When I first asked them, I asked some irrelevant things, which was just to distract them. I want to give them the illusion that I, Zhu Chongba, am very incompetent. Of course, I, Zhu Chongba, am very capable. Then, I deliberately said to obey God's will, but I had already figured out how to test them. That is to take a ceramic jar filled with oil, and ask them to reach down their hands, and each person's hand must be dipped in oil. I deliberately said that if anyone is a spy and dips his hand in oil and then dips it in the water in the basin, his hand will burn. ”

"Juhachi, I see what you mean." Xu Da smiled slightly and said. Chu Liuyan also nodded, indicating that she also understood.

So, Zhu Chongba continued: "If a person's hand is dipped in oil and then dipped in water, how can it burn? That's certainly what I mean to say. I did this for one purpose, and that was to find out the spies. Because I know that there must be a ghost in the real traitor, and he is very afraid that if he dips his hands in oil and then soaks in water, it will really burn, so when he dips in oil, he deliberately does not dip it. Because we can't see what's going on in the clay pot, we can't possibly know if the spy doesn't dip his hand in oil. At least that's what he thinks. In fact, it's not. Because one of the things I discovered when I was a child is that water with a little bit of oil, when the sun shines on it, when viewed from a certain angle, it will emit a variety of colors, while water will not have such a color. That way, things are much easier. After soaking these three in clean water, they only need to see whose basin has no color under the sun, and you can prove who is a spy. In fact, Chen San and Niu Er's pots have color, but Li Hu's does not. I can be sure that Li Hu is the spy who betrayed the generalissimo. And Niu Er, I don't need to say much, I think you can see that he has something to hide from us just by looking at his face. Alright, Miss, I'm done with what I'm going to say, and now you can give orders. ”

Before Ma Xiuying could speak, Li Hu had already screamed, and slashed at her with the big knife in his hand. It turned out that he heard that Zhu Chongba had exposed himself as a spy, and he understood that it might be difficult to escape among so many people, so he didn't think about it, so he rushed at Ma Xiuying and killed him. He didn't want to put Ma Xiuying to death, but wanted to use Ma Xiuying as a hostage to escape from here.

Ma Xiuying was completely defenseless, and Li Hu was already in front of her in turn. Lan Yu wanted to save her, but she was injured, and her skills were not as agile as before, so it was too late to save people.

Seeing that Ma Xiuying was about to be cut by Li Hu, Li Hu suddenly felt that his arm was numb, and then the big knife in his hand fell to the ground. He screamed and looked at Chu Liuyan angrily. Only then did everyone understand that it turned out that Chu Liuyan had sent a plum blossom needle and injured Li Hu's arm, and Li Hu was forced to abandon the knife.

Chu Liuyan held Ma Xiuying to the extreme, and Li Hu had been subdued by Xu Da. He raised his head and said, "Hmph, since Lao Tzu has fallen into your hands, you want to kill or chop, listen to you, I have nothing to say." ”

Ma Xiuying's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness, and said: "Uncle Li Hu, you are usually the best with my father, and you are the most loyal to my father, and my father trusts you the most, why do you want to do such a thing and betray my father?" ”

Li Hu glanced at Ma Xiuying, and said with some disdain: "Miss, I think you are mistaken, your father trusts me?" Guo Zixing, that old puppet, how could he trust me? I followed him from birth to death for so many years, but he never regarded me as his good brother. He was afraid that I would have two hearts for him, so he never promoted me, and let me stay by his side all the time, ostensibly trusting me, but in reality? Just treat me like a dog. With such a person, I am better off than dead. Rather than this, I might as well gamble that either he dies or I die. ”

Ma Xiuying was stunned, she never thought that Li Hu would have such a big complaint against Guo Zixing. She didn't know what to say. After all, she understands Guo Zixing's character. She, as a daughter, can't arrange her father's no, but many of Guo Zixing's actions are also something she disagrees with.

"Uncle Li Hu, if my father did anything to you before, please don't take it to heart, I'm Xiuying here to accompany you on his behalf. You and my father are brothers after all, Uncle Li Hu, can you just bear to watch my father being killed? Even if it is Xiuying, please tell us his whereabouts for the sake of being born and dying with my father for so many years. Ma Xiuying's tears kept rolling in her eyes, and she said to Li Hu very sincerely.

"What's the use of talking about that now? Guo Zixing knew that there was today, so why bother in the first place? What did he do to me in the first place, I finally put him in prison, how could I release him again? With your father's character, do you think I will have a way to survive if I let him out? ”
