Chapter Seventy-Seven: True and False Zhao Shopkeeper

In Zhao's mansion, the maid shuttled through the corridor with a tray in her hand, and Chu Qing and Xu Xiaoxiao were lying on the roof looking for the figure of the shopkeeper Zhao.

"Just now I touched the palm of my fake uncle's hand, and I found a clue." Chu Qing looked at the busy maid in the yard, and said with uneasiness in his heart.

"Why?" Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Qing in surprise, could it be that he also found the traces left by the fake shopkeeper Zhao?

"Uncle Zhen doesn't know martial arts, he stays in the pawnshop all the year round, and his hands should be smooth, but the fake Zhao shopkeeper's palms are full of calluses." Chu Qing leaned over and whispered.

"Calluses? Only those who practice martial arts will have it. Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes wandered among the maids, and when she saw the figures of a few people, she pushed Chu Qing with her elbow, "Why are they here?" ”

Chu Qing followed Xu Xiaoxiao's line of sight and saw Chu Guo walking into the courtyard with Liu Qiao'er, Liu Dazhuang, Chu Chu, and Tie Zhu under the guidance of the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion.

"They...."Chu Qing was so angry that he wanted to get up, and as soon as he held up his arm, he was pressed by Xu Xiaoxiao.

"Don't act rashly, now they are in the light, we are in the dark, the matter has come to this, we can only see the situation first." Xu Xiaoxiao pressed Chu Qing's arm and whispered.

Chu Qing's face flushed, his face was also distorted by anger, and he sighed angrily, "This kid is too nonsense." ”

"Let's find the courtyard of the shopkeeper Zhao first." Xu Xiaoxiao patted Chu Qing's shoulder and nodded her chin to look at the lone attendant not far away, she took out two handkerchiefs from her arms, one of which was handed to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing took the handkerchief and put it on his face, and after everything was done, the two looked at each other and jumped off the eaves, and the two attendants who sneaked out of the courtyard secretly opened the roast chicken wrapped in oil paper, and the two rubbed their hands and fists and were about to make a meal.

A dark shadow enveloped the two of them, white light flashed, and a sharp sword was pressed against the necks of the two attendants.

"Say, where is your lord?" Xu Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.

The attendant trembled in horror, his hand fell to the ground, and he cried and begged for mercy, "Hero, spare your life, the master is in the study." ”

The other attendant's legs trembled, and the unknown liquid flowed down with it, and his face turned pale, and he couldn't say a word because he stared at him dryly for fear.

Chu Qing and Xu Xiaoxiao nodded to each other, raised their hands and "snapped", the knife hand fell on the necks of the two, and the two of them rolled their eyelids and fell to the ground softly.

Xu Xiaoxiao stuck the sharp arrow in his waist, stepped forward and pulled the attendant's clothes, and just ripped off his belt and was stopped by Chu Qing.

"Turn around, I'll do these things."

Chu Qing pushed Xu Xiaoxiao away, Xu Xiaoxiao turned around with a flat mouth, and after a while, several gray linen clothes fell from the air and covered her head.

"Don't look back, I'll get dressed first." Chu Qing said softly behind him.

Xu Xiaoxiao pouted and stood in place, and after Chu Qing changed it, he walked to the corner, "There is a rockery in front, you can go to the rockery to change." ”

"Hmm." Xu Xiaoxiao took off the cloth hanging on his head and walked towards the rockery.

After half a pillar of incense, Xu Xiaoxiao and Chu Qing followed the crowd into the courtyard in the clothes of their attendants, and when they passed through the front hall, they saw Chu Guo sitting in the main seat drinking tea.

Chu Qing endured his anger and lowered his head and followed the attendant into the front hall, Xu Xiaoxiao came to Liu Qiao'er, put the tea on the coffee table next to her, and looked at Liu Qiao'er who was gobbling up pastries.

Liu Qiaoer was almost choked because she stuffed too many pastries, and after seeing the tea, she quickly picked it up and drank it a few times, and then handed the tea cup to Xu Xiaoxiao,

"Bring me a drink."

Xu Xiaoxiao hated that iron was not made of steel and kicked out Liu Qiao'er, Liu Qiao'er was comfortably leaning on the chair, and after feeling the stinging pain under her feet, she looked down and saw that she was about to get angry after being kicked by the person in front of her.

Liu Qiao'er raised her head and instantly met Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes, she was stunned for a moment, tried to swallow the pastry, and blinked her innocent eyes.

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't speak, but looked at the rockery outside the courtyard, Liu Qiao'er followed the line of sight and nodded clearly in her heart.

Xu Xiaoxiao, who left the front hall, threw away the tray and came to the depths of the rockery, and Liu Qiaoer pretended to be Xiaojie to follow Xu Xiaoxiao's steps and entered the rockery together.

"Why are you here?" Xu Xiaoxiao lowered his voice and said angrily.

Liu Qiao'er blinked innocently, "I'm worried about you." ”

"The most important thing now is to protect the Chu State, this group of people is nothing more than coming for the Chu State." Xu Xiaoxiao tapped Liu Qiaoer's forehead with her fingers and said angrily.

"We've taken the antidote to poisoning." Liu Qiao'er showed a flattering smile and comforted Xu Xiaoxiao's back.

"Have you seen Shopkeeper Zhao?" Xu Xiaoxiao said with a sigh of relief.

Liu Qiao'er looked at the courtyard vigilantly and shook her head, "Not yet." ”

"Let's go to the study now and take a look, you can find an opportunity to look for the traces of the real Zhao shopkeeper in the mansion." Xu Xiaoxiao straightened his shirt and said.

After Xu Xiaoxiao left the rockery, he joined Chu Qing, and the two trotted to the courtyard of Zhao's shopkeeper, and Liu Qiaoer pretended to be calm and returned to the front hall.

Chu Guo and Liu Dazhuang didn't pay attention to the pastries on the table, and after seeing Liu Qiao'er re-enter the room, Liu Dazhuang approached sideways.

"Did you find anything when you went out?"

Liu Qiao'er also leaned over and lowered her voice, "I saw Xiaoxiao, she asked us to find a chance to go out." ”

Liu Dazhuang nodded and looked at Chu Guo, who signaled to get up, "This king wants to go around." ”

The housekeeper who was standing aside to support hurriedly responded with a smile, "Okay, the lady has not returned from going out to buy ingredients, and the young lady and the son have not returned, and the master is already rushing over." ”

"Then let my uncle wait for a while, this king is bored and wants to take a walk." Chu Guo left a sentence and waved his hand at Liu Qiao'er and Liu Dazhuang.

Liu Qiao'er hurriedly picked up Chu Chu and Tiezhu, and the two of them hugged Chu Chu and Tiezhu and followed Chu Guo quickly, and the housekeeper stopped talking and watched everyone rush out of the door.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Chu Qing came to the study, they leaned on both sides of the door, Chu Qing put his ear to the door and listened to the movement inside.

After making sure that there was someone in the house, he nodded to Xu Xiaoxiao, Xu Xiaoxiao raised three fingers, and after the last one fell, the two pushed open the door.

The shopkeeper Zhao in the room was lighting a letter and burning it, and when he heard that the door was opened, his expression was cold, and he looked out of the door with a straight face, "Who?" ”

Chu Chu and Chu Qing drew out their matching swords and appeared in front of the desk, and the shopkeeper Zhao returned to his previous gentle face after seeing that it was Xu Xiaoxiao and Chu Qing.

"It's you, why are you dressed up?"

"No need to pretend, your identity has been revealed." Xu Xiaoxiao lifted the sharp arrow and pointed it at the fake shopkeeper Zhao.

"Say, where is my uncle?" Chu Qing stepped forward and slashed at the fake Zhao shopkeeper with a sharp arrow in his hand.

The fake shopkeeper Zhao easily avoided Chu Qing's sharp arrow, caught the arrow that attacked again with two fingers, sneered disdainfully, and with a "snap", the sharp arrow was pinched off by two fingers.

Xu Xiaoxiao switched weapons and took out crossbow arrows from the space, and shot them quickly at the fake shopkeeper Zhao.

The moment the sharp arrow was shot, the fake shopkeeper Zhao grabbed Chu Qing's arm with his backhand, pulled him in front of him, and shot the sharp arrow towards the two of them.
