Chapter Seventy-Nine—The Resurgence of Contradictions (I)
The two looked at the guards who were lying all the way upside down, and knew that this must be the masterpiece, so they followed this clue all the way, but when they passed a small pavilion in the house in the middle of the way, Chi Mudie suddenly heard some noise, so they grabbed Shiruo who returned to the sea, and pulled him together and suddenly dodged behind the rockery on the side.
The two of them looked at the source of the sound from the hole in the rockery, and found that the floor tiles in the small pavilion were suddenly jacked up by something, and then a human hand stretched out from under the bricks, and then the hand slowly and gently moved the bricks away as if they were afraid of alarming something, and gently put them on the ground on the side, and poked out half of their heads to look around for a while, before they came out of the dark passage in the small pavilion.
At this time, Chi Mudie suddenly heard a voice very similar to Sha Haojie shouting to the person who climbed up: "Eh, you guys pull me, don't you know how inflexible it is to wear this old skin?"
The person above said impatiently: "You've been wearing it all the time, how can I know! Besides, I have already let you kill that old thing Sha Haojie, you prefer to keep him, now it's okay, you have recruited the president of the war dragon!"
The people below finally climbed up, sat at the entrance of the secret passage and gasped, "How did I know that the leader of the War Dragon's Fang would come to Loulan immediately after coming down from the battlefield!
At this moment, Chi Mudie and Guihai Shiruo, who were hiding behind the rockery, suddenly found that the faces of the two people who crawled out of the dark passage suddenly turned pale, and they sat on the ground trembling and desperately moved their bodies back.
Chi Mudie also reacted instantly, climbed the rockery with two or three steps on her toes, and jumped straight towards the two who were scared stupid from a high place.
The president swung his sword upward, trying to throw the return to the sea to the side, but unexpectedly he was entangled by his sharp and swift sword flower, and shouted incredibly: "Hey, you kid actually helped outsiders beat your own uncle?"
When he returns to the sea, he smiles and says, "Don't you like me calling you uncle?" Besides, Fluttershy is not an outsider!"
Just in the middle of the words, the president's sword move suddenly stopped, and when he returned to the sea, Ruo's long sword immediately lost its hindrance and stabbed straight towards the president's chest, and when he returned to the sea, Ruo was slightly stunned, and quickly stopped the castration of the sword, but the chairman suddenly showed a wicked smile, and grabbed the wrist of the sword when returning to the sea with his backhand, and turned around and threw him towards the rockery behind him.
Although there was a moment of stunned when returning to the sea, the body reacted subconsciously, adjusted the body and stepped on the rockery to borrow strength, a volley somersault fell to the side of the president, and suddenly reached out to clasp the president's right shoulder, but the president changed the sword in his right hand to his left hand at this moment, and then swept over, taking advantage of the gap between letting go of his hand and leaning back to avoid the blade of the sword, getting rid of his restraint and chasing towards Chi Mudie.
Chi Mudie heard the movement of only two people chasing behind her, and knew that the president must have escaped with a trick, so she instantly accelerated her speed and rushed in the direction of the fake city lord, but just before her hand was about to catch the fake city lord, she was suddenly pressed on the top of her head by a big hand, and her center of gravity was unstable for a while, and she fell forward.
Although she knew that the owner of this big hand must be the president, she still did not give up and reached out and grabbed the corner of the fake city lord's clothes, but the president held the sword and slashed, cut off the piece of fabric that was grabbed by Chi Mudie, and kicked her hand away with another kick, and Chi Mudie, who had completely lost her center of gravity, went straight to the ground like this, but just before her body was about to touch the ground, she was caught by another pair of powerful arms.
Chi Mudie raised her head, glanced at Shiruo who caught her with some grievances, raised the fabric in her hand again, and pouted to protest to the president: "President, you are too sloppy, just now I obviously grabbed the corner of the fake city lord's clothes first, but you cut it off!"
The chairman picked up the fake city lord with a smug face and shook it in front of the two, "Hmph! I'm talking about seeing who catches someone first, but I didn't say who catches his clothes first." ”
"You ......" Chi Mudie was so angry that he was speechless for a while, but then he heard Tsukimi's voice coming from behind them.
"The elder can't do it if he doesn't play tricks, I saw yesterday that in his money bag, there is only a bag of silver coins for white flowers, and no gold coins!"
Hearing Yuejian's voice coming from behind, if Chi Mudie and Guihai turned around at the same time, Chi Mudie looked at Yuejian in frustration, "Sister Yuejian, why didn't you say it earlier, I knew that there was no money to take, so we wouldn't compare with the president!"
When the chairman heard this, he was not happy to throw the fake city lord at their feet, "Hey, why are you like your brother, you just want to scrape some money from me when you open your mouth and close your mouth?"
Chi Mudie stuck out her tongue at the president, "Who made you rich and so stingy!"
The president raised his eyebrows, "I don't call it stingy, I should call it low-key!"
When Sha Xiaoliang saw that when Shiruo's arm was gently wrapped around Chi Mudie's waist when she returned to the sea, and looked down to carefully check her red hand that was kicked by the president and the arm that was scratched just now, anger was obviously brewing on her face, and she felt that the current situation was not suitable for a seizure, so she had to bow her head and endure it silently.
At this time, Sha Haojie staggered and took two steps forward, raised his trembling arm and pointed at the person who had escaped with the fake city lord, and was now being trampled under the feet of the president, and shouted angrily: "Sha Junchi! You unfilial son! You actually colluded with the Dark Guild to murder me! Since I was a child, I have treated you badly, and now you are actually ...... Ahem......"
Hearing Sha Haojie's anger, the chairman subconsciously moved away from the foot that stepped on Sha Junchi, and picked up the fake Sha Haojie and shouted to the rest of the people: "Hey! Let's go, this is someone else's housework, we can't interfere, let's go find an inn to live in first, and deal with our own affairs." ”
So everyone turned around and followed the president towards the outside of the city lord's mansion, although Chi Mudie didn't want to listen deliberately, but Sha Haojie's tired and angry voice still reached her ears.
"I declare that Sha Junchi colluded with the Dark Guild and rebelled, and since then he has lost the hereditary position of the lord of Loulan City in Shacheng, and has been demoted to an ordinary person, and he will be sent to a prison to listen to interrogation!"
--
After everyone left the city lord's mansion, they followed the president all the way through Loulan City, because they had just passed through the scene where all the guards guarding the city were dispatched to surround them, all the people's households and shops in the city were closed with doors and windows, and the Loulan City, which was usually lively at night, was dead silent at this time, and not even a faint candlelight could be seen from the houses on both sides of the street.
The chairman didn't care about it, and walked to the door of a shop with an inn sign, raised his hand and knocked rhythmically on the door panel three times, and then shouted: "Sha Erniang, there are old friends visiting, please open the door of the store for convenience." ”
As soon as his words fell, he saw a warm orange light in the crack of the door, and after a while, the closed door of the store suddenly opened, and a middle-aged woman dressed in bright and elegant clothes stood on the side of the door, and smiled at the president: "Yo! The storm in Loulan City is blowing hard enough today! I can actually blow all the heroes who are now praising each other among the seven floating islands into my small shop, my Sha Erniang is really fortunate in my third life! Loulan is cold at night, please come into the house quickly!"
Speaking of this, Sha Erniang suddenly lowered her head and saw the person in the chairman's hand, and couldn't help blurting out: "Ah, isn't this our Loulan City Lord? This is ......?"
"Erniang don't panic, this is just a fake city lord, I was caught and asked about something. The chairman waved his hand at Sha Erniang, turned to a few other people, raised the fake city lord in his hand and shook it in front of them, "You guys go to rest first, I want to find a quiet place to talk to this thing alone, and then come back to taste the daughter red brewed by Erniang herself." ”
After the chairman finished speaking, he walked out of the city with the fake city lord casually, and the rest of the people were about to enter the house under the guidance of the proprietress, but they suddenly heard a sad cry from far and near behind them.
Everyone turned around, and before they could see who was coming, they saw that the person rushed over and crashed into Shi Ruo's arms when he returned to the sea, sobbing and saying: "Brother Shi Ruo, my father was so angry that he said that he wanted to kill my brother, what should I do?"
When he returned to the sea, he was knocked into a daze, and he reacted in an instant, and quickly pushed the sand boy who crashed into his arms away from his chest, and glanced at Chi Mudie beside him at a loss, and after seeing her look at herself with a gloomy face, she turned around and walked into the door of the inn without saying a word, walked to a table against the wall, and sat down with her back to the door.
Looking at Chi Mudie, who ignored him, Ruo also sighed with grievances on his face when he returned to the sea, let go of the hands that were pushing Sha Xiaoling, and said softly: "Little girl, don't cry first, your father was just carried away by anger for a while, and when he calms down, he will figure it out, your brother is his own son, how can he be willing to kill your brother? ”
At this time, several women's voices were heard in the distance: "Second Miss, Second Miss, where are you?"
Sha Xiaoliang heard that these were some of her personal maids, so she stopped crying and responded muffledly: "I'm here." ”
Several maids with cloaks heard Sha Xiao's voice, and immediately rushed over, and quickly wrapped their warm shawls around her body.
"Second Miss, this Loulan is extremely cold at night, why don't you run out without putting on a coat. ”
In the distressed reproach of the maids, Sha Xiaoliang just wanted to raise his head and say something more to Guihai, but found that he was turning his head to look in the direction of Chi Mudie, and turned back to her absentmindedly and said, "Little girl, since the maids have come to you, you should hurry back with them, don't let your father worry about you anymore." ”
Sha Xiao's heart suddenly became angry, and it was not good for her to have a seizure when she returned to the sea, so she had to respond sullenly, glared at Chi Mudie's back fiercely, and followed the maids around her to turn around and leave.
When he returned to the sea, he couldn't wait for Sha Xiaoliang to walk away, so he couldn't wait to walk to Chi Mudie's side in the inn, leaned over and sat down, and saw the shallow scratch on her right arm, and asked with a distressed frown, "Fluttershy, does the injury on your arm still hurt?"
Chi Mudie threw down a sentence in a cold voice, "Just take care of your little good sister, and what I do!" Then he got up and ran out of the inn.
Chu Bai, who was drinking tea, was bumped by her arm holding the tea cup, the tea splashed her face, blinked innocently, wiped the tea on her face, got up and looked in the direction where Chi Mudie ran out, and said to Yuejian with confusion and worry: "Why did this suddenly blow up? Loulan City She has never been to Loulan City, it is easy to get lost if you run out like this, I'd better go out and have a look." ”
Between the words, he saw that when he returned to the sea, Ruo had already followed him to the door, and turned back to Chu Bai with a light smile and said, "Brother Chu Bai, I'll go, I want to talk to her alone." After speaking, before Chu Bai agreed, he hurriedly chased him out.
Hatsubai sighed helplessly, turned his head to look at Yuejian, and asked speechlessly, "What can I do?"
Tsukimi also spread his hands with the same expression, "I don't know, why don't we talk about it alone?"
