Chapter 125: Heavy Punishment Deliberation
"Please take me to your Sea Dragon King. Xiao Yue repeated it again, her tone tone and flat.
The two shrimp guards understood: "Yes, yes, please allow us to report." β
Xiao Yue didn't say anything, walked straight into the house, poured a glass of water, although this is the bottom of the sea, but the sea water is like air, it does not affect any activity at all, Xiao Yue can also survive in the underwater world. I don't know if this is due to an exclusive enchantment.
She drank fresh water and pondered carefully. Why did you come to kill yourself in the catfish discussion just now?
It stands to reason that even if this catfish does have an opinion about himself, he shouldn't come to her in private to trouble, and what is even more unbelievable is that the catfish actually walked in through the front door in a bright way, even if he succeeds in killing himself, I'm afraid he will not be able to escape the guilt. However, judging from the performance just now, there is nothing abnormal about this catfish discussion at all. Including his appearance and the sign symbolizing his status, it seems to be complete.
Could it be that the catfish really wanted to kill her? But what is the reason for this? To be able to sit in this position, the catfish man just now is obviously not an idle person. Thinking of the time when the two were fighting, the catfish deliberated to show weakness, and then suddenly attacked with all his strength, almost making Xiao Yue calculate. For ordinary people, this kind of idea is even more difficult to come up with.
Xiao Yue is thoughtful, and her natural thinking angle is quite complete, so after thinking about it for a while, she only has one conclusion, but this is so incredible that even she herself almost denied this idea at the first time.
Perhaps, this catfish discussion is actually ......
She wasn't allowed to think about it anymore, because the harsh voices of the shrimp guards outside had already come in.
"The Sea Dragon King, pleaseβ"
Xiao Yue sighed and simply straightened out her clothes. She has been wearing a battle tights, and the battle just now didn't disturb her appearance too much, but if you want to see the Sea Dragon King, it's better to be solemn, and the other party can be regarded as the king of a domain.
Walking out of the side hall, Xiao Yue walked all the way to the palace of the Sea Dragon King under the leadership of the shrimp guard. When she went to the quicksand tomb before, in order not to attract attention, she wore some relatively inconspicuous clothes, but this does not mean that she can hide her beauty, delicate face, long flowing hair, no matter what, it reveals a noble but not unattainable temperament.
The shrimp guard came to the front of a smaller palace and said something to the armored guard standing in the doorway. The guard nodded and ran into the hall.
After a while, the Sea Dragon King let Xiao Yue enter the palace. Xiao Yue had already looked at this small palace room before coming, and according to the surrounding underwater scenery, it was probably a building such as a lounge. She didn't hesitate and stepped straight in.
The Sea Dragon King was sitting in the hall, flipping through a book, and when he saw Xiao Yue, he just raised his head slightly: "Didn't you say that there is nothing that won't let you find me? β
Xiao Yue was stunned, and then stepped forward and said, "Dragon King, please retreat." β
The Sea Dragon King smiled, put down the book in his hand, and said, "It seems that you really have something important to tell me, you all go down." β
As he spoke, the Sea Dragon King waved his hand, and all the guards and attendants around him quickly evacuated. In the huge hall, only he and Xiao Yue were left. Xiao Yue took a few steps forward, lowered her head and told the Sea Dragon King the ins and outs of the matter.
When the Sea Dragon King listened, his face changed: "You dare to discuss it in front of a catfish?"
"Yes, I still remember his appearance. Xiao Yue nodded, she was very sure, now that the Sea Dragon King knew everything, Xiao Yue stood aside quietly, and now it was up to the Dragon King to deal with this matter.
The Sea Dragon King's gaze instantly became deep: "You should know what you're talking about, if there is a deviation in this kind of thing, it is your life in danger." β
Xiao Yue smiled: "I can naturally guarantee it." β
The Sea Dragon King nodded, got up and said sharply, "In that case, someone is coming." β
Two crab soldiers quickly ran outside the main hall and knelt on the ground: "The subordinates are here." β
"Give me a quick announcement of the catfish, I have an urgent matter, and I can't delay. The Sea Dragon King's voice was very flat, but the two crab soldiers didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly agreed.
The Sea Dragon King sighed, sat down in his place again, his eyes flowed, and he thought about it for a long time, which was also quite a tricky feeling. He can't underestimate this matter, Catfish is a veteran in the Sea Palace, he has been following the Sea Dragon King for many years, although the Sea Dragon King doesn't believe it very much, but this matter must be thoroughly investigated.
"At that time, who else was there in the side hall besides you and the catfish?"
"There are also two shrimp guards arranged by the turtle prime minister. Xiao Yue replied.
The Sea Dragon King stood up with a solemn expression: "Okay, call me the two shrimp guards who are on duty again." β
Then someone did as they were told. The Sea Dragon King kept pacing, to be honest, he couldn't believe that the catfish had the audacity to such an extent, and he had already declared that he wanted to stay for the time being, he actually dared to kill it openly.
Is this a direct provocation to his prestige as the Sea Dragon King?
Of course, the Sea Dragon King is the lord of a domain after all, and although he is a little angry and puzzled, he still has reason. He knew that unless he was really crazy, he couldn't do it. If he is replaced, if he wants to kill Xiao Yue, he will have to take the opportunity to attack secretly, and he will not be able to enter the room directly.
So, there must be some secret in this.
The Sea Dragon King was puzzled, and it seemed that he could only wait for the two shrimp guards and the catfish to come to a conclusion at this time.
Soon, the two shrimp guards who were standing next to them were invited into the main hall, and they stood there all the time, not daring to move. The Sea Dragon King was going to summon them personally, and at least the two shrimp guards themselves didn't seem to be a good thing.
"You two, stand and wait. The Sea Dragon King snorted lightly, but it sounded like an amnesty to the shrimp guards, and he hurriedly thanked him. Although the rules of the Sea Dragon Palace did not make them kneel, at least the Dragon King said this, and it was almost certain that their lives would not be in danger.
"Uh...... Xie, Xie Hai Dragon King. The two of them stood up, of course, they were not very tall themselves, and because they were somewhat similar to shrimps, they had always hunched their backs, and the Sea Dragon King did not pay attention to them, but continued to wait for something.
Soon, another voice came from outside: "Dragon King, the catfish has arrived." β
The Sea Dragon King said coldly, "Let him in." β
"Yes. β
Then, the catfish walked into the hall with his head down, and bowed slightly: "I've seen the Dragon King." β
"Are you guilty, catfish?" the Sea Dragon King asked with a glance at Xiao Yue.
Catfish knelt down on one knee in surprise: "The subordinates don't know how to be guilty." β
"Don't you know? Before, wasn't it you who swaggered forward to assassinate the dignitaries from this land with your sword? Is there something wrong?" the Sea Dragon King asked rhetorically, although he didn't know what the truth of the matter was, but then he had to closely observe the changes in the catfish's expression, and maybe he could get something out of it.
Catfish's expression was completely stunned: "After the subordinates retired, they have been writing in the mansion and have never left. I wonder where the Dragon King started with this?"
Xiao Yue listened to the conversation between the two translators while quietly looking at the catfish. That's right, the catfish's appearance is completely no different from the person who came to assassinate him not long ago, but because he was coming to see the dragon king, he didn't wear a sword. However, listening to what the catfish said, it seems that he still doesn't know anything about this matter, and it doesn't look like he's lying, right......
"You two, tell me what happened just now, and invite you truthfully. The Sea Dragon King gestured to the shrimp guards who were standing silent.
The two of them immediately began to struggle to remember, and then stammered, pointing and complementing each other.
"Later...... Later, the catfish entered the house. β
"Yes, and it's the main hall, both of them went in, and then ......"
And then there'...... It's just that we felt a little bit wrong, so we went inside to take a look, but I didn't expect the catfish to come out first. β
The shrimp guard next to him hurriedly added: "Later, Lord Catfish left directly, and then ...... Then we were called. β
"Okay, I see, you guys go down. The Sea Dragon King didn't even look at the two of them, and drove them away. The two shrimp guards were eager to get out of here as soon as possible, and hurriedly retreated. Only Catfish, Sea Dragon King and Xiao Yue were left looking at each other.
The Sea Dragon King relayed Xiao Yue's words to the catfish, and asked lightly: "How do you explain this matter, catfish?"
Catfish's face suddenly turned white: "Subordinate...... The subordinates really don't know about this, someone must have wronged and persecuted the subordinates, please discern the dragon king. β
Xiao Yue pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Catfish, where is the token on your waist?"
Catfish hurriedly took it out: "Here." Xiao Yue looked at it, and it was really no different from what she had just seen. She paused for a moment, then stopped speaking. The Sea Dragon King's gaze swept over the catfish, and immediately made his whole body tremble.
"Catfish, I advise you to tell the truth quickly, is this really not about you?"
Catfish nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Dragon King." Even if the subordinates have the courage, they don't dare to be so openly rampant. Although the attitude of his subordinates is not good, after all, for the sake of the Sea Clan, the Dragon King is discerning. β
Xiao Yue struggled to recall every detail, and suddenly asked, "Catfish, what do you usually call the Sea Dragon King?"
Catfish turned around: "Call the Dragon King directly." β
"Oh?" Xiao Yue thought for a moment's surprise, and then asked, "Are you usually only called the Dragon King?"
Catfish nodded: "Except for the Dragon King, I don't have any other titles." β
"Is there a problem?" the Sea Dragon King asked with a deep look at Xiao Yue.
"Let me think about it, maybe there was a clue to that. I don't think it's very likely that Catfish is the real murderer, because he doesn't have that need, and he won't take such a big risk to do such a thing. β
