Chapter 16: Discord
Seeing that the arrow was about to penetrate his brow, Li Xun narrowly blocked it. In fact, Li Xun had a hunch, but he didn't want to expose his ability too early. Otherwise, a sneak attack like this would have been broken with just a few strokes.
Li Xun got up and yelled: "Who is it?"
Seeing that the figure of the person who shot the arrow outside the wall was extremely fast and was about to disappear in a blink of an eye, Li Xun turned back to Sophie and said, "You wait here, pay attention to safety, I'll chase him." With that, he quickly rushed up.
In fact, Sofer's speed must be much faster than Li Xun's, but the two sides did not break it. Sophie is reluctant to be exposed, and Li Xun can't say it clearly, his ability to see through others is a secret that can't be known.
After Li Xun left, Sophie picked up the arrow on the ground, glanced at it casually, and found that there were words on the arrow. Sophie then secretly hid the arrow and left the courtyard.
On the cruise ship, the battle between the two sides has entered a stalemate, and the four mecha warriors are quite under pressure against dozens of high-level abilities, but they are always at ease.
Pippi lost the ice hockey for a long time, but failed to cause any damage to Dashi, turned around and said, "This machine can't move! Popo, you come to burn them, I don't believe that the people inside are not afraid of being hot!"
"Okay, I'll try!" Popo stepped back and began to prepare for the big fire-based ability.
Nearly a minute later, a fire erupted in the hallway, and the hull of the ship was charred black. However, the mecha controlled by a few people was still alive and well, and it was not affected in the slightest.
If it was before the Nest Plan, the mecha really didn't have the ability to resist burning. However, since the Guardian was sprayed with lava by the Worm King, Marshal Lin has been haunted, and the Quartermaster Department has finally upgraded the cooling equipment for the mecha under high pressure.
Right now, the mecha is roasted on the fire, and as long as the energy is not exhausted for a while, there will be no substantial damage to the mecha, and the people inside are always at a constant temperature.
The few people who have mecha have enough confidence to fight against these high-level abilities, but they have been trapped on the ship, which is never a long-term solution.
The four of them escorted Wendy, sprinted in one direction, quickly broke out of the encirclement, and escaped out of the ship together.
The Pamir group has been shocked by the humanoid machine in front of them, even if they can't move, they are not even afraid of the fire, these outsiders are too strong!
Dozens of high-level abilities were in a hurry for a while, and the outsiders of the ** vertical machine took advantage of the loophole and escaped. When I wanted to pursue, I found that I couldn't keep up with the speed of the machine!
I saw one of the machines pick up the high-level ability among them, and then the four of them suddenly accelerated, leaving the person who was chasing them far behind.
In the side hall of Horus's dormitory, Hamsis carefully examined the arrow in his hand, his face heavy.
According to Sophie, Li Xun did not see the contents of the arrow, but went directly after the assassin, so she had the opportunity to smuggle the arrow out.
This is a bit strange, if Li Xun is a spy, he should have noticed the content of the arrow, and Sophie should not be given this opportunity.
Hamsis became more and more puzzled, and whispered, "Do it tomorrow night?"
"It seems like a low-level discord scheme, but could Seth use such a plot that can be easily seen through? ”
It is indeed difficult to deduce the truth from Sophie's description alone, but the current tension does not allow for such a potential danger.
Horus asked, "In my uncle's opinion, the evil god of Seth should not have used this kind of trick to deceive the child, but he did it at this time, what is the purpose of this?"
Hamsis replied helplessly: "I'm afraid that Seth is not so stupid, but is playing tricks, in case Li Xun really has a problem, if we don't get rid of him as soon as possible, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable!"
The more he thought about it, the more tricky the situation became, and his brows furrowed, and Horus asked, "If this is really Seth's discord plan, if we do something that we shouldn't do, wouldn't we have fallen into his trap?"
Although it was not explicitly stated, this should not be done, it must be aimed at Li Xun.
Hamsis pondered for a moment, and then came up with a plan: "In this way, let Sophie put this arrow back in its place, and see how he does tomorrow." ”
"If he hands over this arrow in time, it is enough to prove that he has no ghost in his heart, and if he hides it, we will take him down in one fell swoop. ”
Horus's frowning brows stretched slightly, and he responded, "Good strategy, uncle is really resourceful. ”
Li Xun pursued the sneak attacker until outside the city, and after entering the jungle, he lost the trace of the other party, thinking that even if he caught up with himself, he might not be able to beat others, so he had to return in a huff.
After a night without words, Li Xun woke up refreshed and was about to go out for a walk, when Hamsis came to meet him.
"Mr. Li Xun, Mr. Li Xun rested well last night, I heard that there were assassins in the palace last night, Mr. Li Xun was not disturbed, right?" Hamsis was particularly enthusiastic, and he was three points better than when Li Xun rescued Horus.
As if he didn't see anything unusual, Li Xun responded: "Your Highness is too polite, just call me Li Xun, there were indeed assassins coming yesterday, but I couldn't catch up." ”
Hamsis saw that the arrow was still lying on the ground honestly, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, this situation was really unexpected! From this point of view, this outsider should have no problem, otherwise he would definitely not turn a blind eye to the arrow.
Hamsis felt that he should try again anyway, and pretended to be surprised: "Yes, then fortunately, Mr. Li Xun is not injured, this palace is heavily guarded, and it is not easy for assassins to get in." ”
"Oh, this arrow was left by the assassin?" Hamsis took two steps forward and picked up the arrow on the ground.
Li Xun replied casually: "Yes, at that time, I was only concerned with tracking the assassins, and I forgot to collect the arrows on the ground. ”
Hamsis took a closer look at the arrow in his hand and was shocked, this arrow was definitely not the one he had seen yesterday!
His eyes were slightly cold, and Hamsis stopped pretending to be there, and asked, "Hmph, what other explanation do you have?"
With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Xun responded calmly: "What, is there anything wrong with this arrow?"
In Hamsis's view, the replacement of the arrow proves that Li Xun must have a ghost: "There is naturally no problem with this arrow, because the one with the problem has been replaced by you!"
Despite Hamsis's fierce voice, Li Xun remained calm: "Oh, that means His Highness has already seen the arrows in question. ”
Harusis looked proud and said proudly: "Exactly, when you feigned pursuit yesterday, Sophiel had already shown me the arrow, and this arrow was obviously replaced. ”
Li Xun felt ridiculous, and asked slowly, "Why do you conclude that I changed the arrow?"
Not noticing Li Xun's increasingly rich smile, Hamsis said as a matter of course: "You are the only one living in this courtyard, and no one else has approached since the incident, who else can change this arrow except you?"
Shaking his head helplessly, Li Xun felt that even if he was a god, it didn't seem to be omnipotent. "No, there are at least two other than me." ”
Hamsis was very puzzled, what Li Xun said would not always be himself and Horus. Then he asked, "Which two?"
Li Xun stretched out a finger: "The first one is yesterday's assassin, he has already come once, so naturally he can come a second time." This second one, Your Highness, have you forgotten, I can come and go here at will, and it will not arouse suspicion!"
"Impossible, after you returned, I had already arranged to strengthen the precautions, and the assassin naturally couldn't come back. Sophie is a cronie that I have cultivated single-handedly, so it is even more unlikely that I will frame you. Hamsis, who was still a little confused, still believed that this was Li Xun's quibble.
Li Xun finally laughed out loud: "Heh, it's a coincidence, I saw with my own eyes that Sophie put the arrow in your hand here, and the other arrow was handed over to the assassin by her, but the assassin hid the arrow in an unexpected place!"
Hamsis will be suspicious, "Where is it?"
Li Xun paused word by word: "The queen's bedroom!"
His face was suspicious, and then turned to disdain, and Hamsis said angrily: "Full of nonsense, why did the assassin put the arrows in the queen's bedchamber instead of destroying them directly? ”
Silently anxious for these so-called gods, with this intelligence, no wonder they will eventually perish. Li Xun had no choice but to explain: "Haven't you heard of the plan to kill two birds with one stone?"
"When you kill me by mistake, they will point the finger against me again, Her Highness. Even if you trust Her Highness very much, after this incident, you must be a little suspicious, isn't that a clever strategy?"
Seeing that what Li Xun said was orderly, Hamsis was once again puzzled, still unable to believe it: "This is just your family's words, what evidence is there?"
"He's right, a mouse did hide this arrow in my dormitory last night. "A woman came in through the door, with an elegant demeanor, beautiful eyes, a smile on her cheeks, and a gentle and lovely face.
Thinking that this woman is Horus's mother, Her Royal Highness the Queen of the Dawn Continent, but she doesn't look like the mother of a prince at all, but more like a bewitching young girl, beautiful and incomprehensible.
"Your Highness, when did you come? It took a moment for Hamsis to come to his senses, his eyes full of infatuation, and it was evident that he was also fascinated by the woman.
"It's not too soon, it's not too late. The queen turned to look at Li Xun and said, "I'm curious, that assassin is at least a powerhouse with a fifth-level ability, how did you, a person who doesn't seem to have second-level energy in his body, follow him without being discovered?"
"It's simple, Xiaoqiang. Li Xun used the summoning technique, and a large beetle appeared at his feet, looking like it was still sleeping.
On the way back from chasing the assassin, Li Xun felt very puzzled, he was only a junior ability, and the assassin's skills were definitely better than his own. Even if you don't dare to fight in the palace, you shouldn't escape out of the city and not fight back.
Back in the room, Li Xun didn't feel sleepy, and happened to hear the movement outside the hospital, so he thought of this method.
Xiaoqiang, who is covered in pitch black, is definitely not easy to find at night when he shrinks his body size. You only need to silently monitor in the black dye, and everything will be clear.
The situation was clear, and Hamsis immediately shouted: "I see! ”
Li Xun hurriedly stopped: "No, I think His Highness should arrest me." ”
Hamsis was puzzled: "What is the reason for this?"
Li Xun smiled with a little meaning: "The plan will be the plan, and the snake will be lured out of the hole." ”
As soon as these words came out, the queen next to her couldn't help but look at Li Xun twice, and her expression was flattering. This kind of demonic posture makes people can't help but feel fluttering at a glance.
Hamsis, who was attracted by the queen, came back to his senses for a long time and said: "What you said is very strange, but if you think about it, it still makes sense. It's okay, just do as you say. ”
