readx;?“ Mr. Xia, please come over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" The man in black greeted him.

I nodded, and slowly walked towards the stone boat**.

When I got closer, Shi Zhou** straightened up and let out a long breath.

The traitor was still on his knees, his expression very strange.

Originally, he smeared a lot of incense ash on his face and turned it gray-brown, which was naturally to achieve the effect of invisibility. After being caught, he never had a chance to wipe off the ashes, and he looked very embarrassed. Now, his face was so pale that he couldn't even hide the ashes, probably because he had been frightened by some kind of intense shock.

"How's it going?" I asked.

Shi Zhou** shook his head slightly: "Not good, very bad." ”

"I'm telling the truth, I'm telling the truth, I'm telling the truth—" The traitor raised his head to defend himself, and then looked at me pitifully, "I'm telling the truth, King Qin is really living in Minghu, and there really is no one else around him......"

"What is he doing in Minghu Residence?" I asked.

"I don't know, I guess it's the sound. The traitor replied.

Shi Zhou** sneered: "It's all this time, he's listening to cross talk, is it possible?"

The traitor nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at broken rice: "It may be, it may be." ”

"He's waiting?" I asked.

The traitor was a little dazed, his mouth open, and he kept looking at me.

"He's waiting for someone. "I told Shi Zhou**.

Shi Zhou** nodded slightly: "That's right, my judgment is the same, of course there is no one around him, because the person he was waiting for has not yet arrived." ”

The basis for the master's judgment is the same, assuming that what the traitor said is true, King Qin stayed in Minghu Residence alone and deliberately emptied everyone, so he must have other plans.

No matter how powerful King Qin will be, they are from Jinzhong, Shanxi after all. As the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, they will not act reluctantly from Shaanxi to Shandong, but collude with the local gang forces in Shandong, do things together, and benefit together.

Shi Zhou** and I can summarize the facts that are invisible on the surface from the factors that can be seen on the surface, which is the ability that a master of rivers and lakes must have. As for the traitor, he confesses whatever he sees. So he can only be someone else's follower.

"Maybe it's a trap?" Shi Zhou** said.

The basis for measuring whether it is a trap or not is that we must judge the strength of Mr. Yan and Gongzi Qin?

If King Qin would think that Mr. Yan and Gongzi Qin would definitely be able to deal with the Japanese and would never make a mistake, then King Qin's stay in Minghu Residence was a fact, not a trap. On the contrary, this judgment will also be valid, that is, the king of Qin sent Mr. Yan and Qin Gongzi to pursue the Japanese, but it was just a disguise, and he had already concluded that the Japanese would attack Minghuju with a backhand, so he set the main battlefield in Minghuju and waited for the Japanese to throw themselves into the net.

This strategy, called "please enter the urn" in the military book, is also very clever.

"What should I do?" Shi Zhou** muttered to himself.

"There was no one on the street. I said, "There are no people from you, and there are no people from the King of Qin." The situation is urgent, you have to make a judgment, you have to make a decision, you can't drag it out. ”

At the moment, the temple door of the Guandi Temple is closed, but it will soon be opened, and it is better to actively seek change than to passively accept it.

"Do I have a third choice?" Shi Zhou** asked.

"No, unless you have new reinforcements. I replied.

"I don't have new reinforcements. She said, "I'm actually exhausted, and whether I'm going south or north can only be decided by flipping a coin." ”

I can't help but smile bitterly, the method of tossing a coin is tantamount to completely leaving fate to heaven.

A brilliant thaumaturgist like Shi Zhou** originally had nothing to do with coin tossing, but now he can only use this method to decide his fate.

"Good. I said.

Shi Zhou** took out a coin from his pocket, which was a Chinese one-yuan coin.

"If you follow the local customs, you can only use your Chinese coins. She laughed at herself.

With a bang, she flicked the coin into the air, waited until the coin fell, caught it, and held it in her palm.

I was inclined to go north, and the reason for my judgment was that when Mr. Yan and Qin Gongzi left, he deliberately turned left and turned south, as if to mislead the Japanese.

Shi Zhou** took a deep breath and opened his palm.

The coin, literally face up, lay flat in her palm.

"To the north. She said.

This decision is in line with me, but I know that it is definitely not a coincidence.

Her decision to move forward by flipping a coin is also a way to disguise her judgment of the situation. If outsiders think that she is really poor in donkey skills, it is completely wrong.

The decisions made by a smart person are often the result of the sum of many elements. She would never make a rash decision and act blindly.

The rivers and lakes are complex, and only smart people can live for a long time and safely, but anyone with a slightly lower IQ has been ruthlessly eliminated in the big waves of sand one round after another.

"Great, great. I looked at Shi Zhou** and said.

"Thank you, if you also think this decision is good, it is the will of God. She said.

I didn't want to show to her that I had guessed her thoughts, and since she had tried her best to cover it up, she must have tried to mislead me into thinking that she had no choice. At this time, she still lied to me, which shows that she is also a very scheming person and does not trust anyone at all.

"Yes, destiny is hard to disobey, let's go north. I smiled.

"You, you—" The traitor struggled to get up, but was trampled by the man in black next to him.

"I told the truth, and I will make a confession, so please let me go. "The traitor pleaded.

"Let's go. I said.

I can think of the fate of the traitor, and if I want to keep a secret forever, the dead are much more reliable than the living.

"Let's go. Shi Zhou** nodded.

I opened the temple door and was the first to walk out, Shi Zhou** followed me, and the rest of the people all took off their black clothes and followed out in twos and threes.

Instead of going back the way we came, we headed straight west, through an alley lined with restaurants on both sides, to the intersection on the east side of Provincial Front Street. Then, turn right to the north, step on the Gongyuan Wallroot Street, walk along the east wall of the provincial government compound to the north, to Minghu Road, and then turn east, and rush to Minghuju.

Such a marching route was also intended to cause difficulties in judgment for the King of Qin.

Shi Zhou** came up and walked side by side with me.

She had already removed her mask, and her face was clear and serious.

I noticed that the place where she had self-harmed had healed on its own.

She was extremely observant, and although I only glanced at her arm out of the corner of my eye, she had already noticed it, and she guessed what I was thinking in the first place.

"It's true that I'm self-harming, and the pain I feel when the blade cuts through my flesh is real, so it's no different from the self-harm of any charlatan, so please don't doubt my sincerity. I just want to take everyone and all souls home and end everything here, but, you know, no one wants to become a soul, not even an orphan or a wanderer, they want to return to their hometown safely, and they don't want to be ghosts in a foreign land. I have to go back, I have to live to lead them back. Mr. Xia, my wounds healed themselves because I had practiced another ninjutsu, similar to your 'Heavenly Demon Disintegration**' on the rivers and lakes of China, and I was able to increase my combat power to the highest level in a short period of time through self-harm—"

"I really don't need to explain. I interrupted her, "Everyone should have their own secrets, and I will help you, not because of you, but because I promised Ming Qianying to send her body back to Japan." Now, if you live well, you can help her fulfill this wish, and solve a big problem for me. ”

Shi Zhou** sighed: "I will, as long as I still have a breath, I will definitely send Ming Qianying back to Japan." I hope we can become friends, it is a real honor to have a friend like you, I have met many Chinese magicians, including the large group of people who are famous in the capital, and even the national teachers respected by you Chinese, but none of them are like you, which makes me admire all the body. ”

"False praise. I said.

After that, we didn't speak again, but quickened our pace and went straight to Minghuju.

I haven't met King Qin, so I don't know who he is at all, but I hope that this time the entanglement between the two factions will make a final break in Minghuju.

Minghu Residence is located in the middle of Minghu Road, north of the road, is a three-storey small building, backed by Daming Lake, facing Quanlefang Street. At this time, it was not time to go to work, and there were no cars or people at the gate of Minghu Ju, only the elderly who occasionally passed by for morning exercises.

In the distance, I saw the side door of Minghu Residence hidden, and immediately signaled to Shizhou**: "Look there." ”

Shi Zhou** was very alert and immediately greeted her men.

The people behind us changed their route, three of them turned left and circled the back of Minghu Ju, and the other three turned right and circled to the east of Minghuju, quickly forming a circle of encirclement.

"What a great place. Shi Zhou** looked around.

Daming Lake is one of the three major scenic spots in Jinan, with beautiful scenery and a long history, especially after continuous renovation in recent years, it has formed the beautiful scenery of "Lake in the City", which is not inferior to several major cities with lakes in China.

Minghu is built here and is blessed, so the performance business is also very hot.

I never thought that one day there would be a battle in Minghuju, and, as you can imagine, this battle must be very fierce, because the two sides have become fire and water, either you die or I live.

I didn't answer, and Shi Zhou** said: "According to our Japanese habits, good scenery is the most suitable for graves, so many of our Japanese celebrities are buried in beautiful places, such as Mt. Fuji, Hokkaido and other places. ”

I shook my head: "This is not a good habit, all tourists come for the great scenery, and when you see the grave, isn't it a big sight?"

Shi Zhou** laughed: "Actually, I don't agree with this habit very much, the real hero, vigorous in life, disappeared after death, why build a mausoleum to commemorate himself? It seems that those who voluntarily bury themselves in the scenic area are not heroes, but people who sell their reputations." Mr. Xia, after this battle, there are only two results, I come out alive, or King Qin comes out alive. It's really interesting to think about it now!"
