Chapter 68: Why Didn't You Say It Earlier?

The ancient road in the mountains, both sides of the river are silver and white.

The river in the valley is half ice and half rapids.

Xu Zun's carriage was driving on the muddy and slippery riverside road, and the driver was his new butler Liu Dong.

Shangyuan City is located in the north of Xinye County, the road is not far away, through the mountains is, if the fast horse whip only one day can be reached.

If you ride in a horse-drawn carriage, a day and a night are not much the same.

Although the temperature is low today, the sun is shining, and the sky is high and windless.

"Fire Maiden, you...... Don't do that, okay? Behind the carriage, Zhao Yu rode his fast horse and said to Huo Anu on the horse next to him, "I don't seem to owe you money, do I?" ”

Huo Anu rode a high-headed horse with a red color and an iron umbrella behind him, and he was heroic.

Hearing Zhao Yu's words, she still turned a deaf ear and only cared about walking.

Zhao Yu was very puzzled, I don't know why along the way, Huo Anu not only ignored him as if he had an enmity with him, but also had hostility in his eyes?

Don't...... Is it because of the fake Qiu Yongnian? At the beginning of the court, she thought that she was too late, which led to the unexpected death of Shen Gong?

It doesn't make sense!

At that time, there were so many internal guards, all of them were excellent in martial arts, and they couldn't blame themselves, right?

Don't...... Is it because he became Xu Zun's guard? Stealing her limelight?

Isn't that right?

I enjoy the national salary, and I have no conflict of interest with her?

"Ahem......"

Zhao Yu is very good at resolving embarrassment, and when he saw that Huo Anu ignored him, he couldn't stop talking.

He cleared his throat, as if talking to himself, as if to say it to Fire Anu:

"I really don't know what Lord Xu thinks, he actually let Liu Dong be his housekeeper, that kid is a well-known habitual thief!

"And...... And let him take his family with him? Isn't it outrageous? Oh, and my wife, and my children......"

Saying that, Zhao Yu glared at the direction of the window, and Xiwa, who was lying on the window, was frightened and hurriedly got into the car.

"Lord Xu is now a seventh-rank official, I calculate, his money can employ at least 10 family members, right?" Zhao Yu said again, "The criminal officer is so hard, shouldn't he hire someone who is strong?"

"I really can't think of ......it," Zhao Yu became more and more energetic the more he spoke, "What's going on with that daughter-in-law in Liu Dong?" Why do you still sit in the same carriage with Lord Xu? Isn't she here to be an old mother? Shouldn't you go with Liu Dong in front of the car?

"Oh, I look at her like that, it seems a little abnormal, right?"

Swish!

Who knows, Zhao Yu was taking care of himself, but suddenly saw Huo Anu's iron umbrella falling from the sky and smashing down towards his head!

Yes!!?

Zhao Yu was startled and instinctively raised his saber to block.

While!

The iron umbrella sank vigorously, but Zhao Yu did not block it, and fell down from the war horse when he landed.

However, Huo Anu couldn't help but say, he also jumped off the horse, and then another iron umbrella struck out, attacked Zhao Yu again, and went straight to the gate of his life!

"You...... What are you doing? Zhao Yu rolled away, his body was suddenly covered with stinky mud, and he shouted loudly in fright, "Fire girl, are you crazy?" ”

The iron umbrella struck again, and Zhao Yu couldn't dodge, so he had to pull out his saber with a bang and fight with Huo Anu.

Sigh......

Hearing something strange behind him, Liu Dong hurriedly stopped the carriage, turned around to look, was suddenly startled, and hurriedly reported to Xu Zun:

"Lord Xu, Lord Xu...... Oh no, the two guards are fighting! Take a look! ”

Liu Dong raised the curtain of the car, but saw that Xu Zun, Xiwa and Ku Niang were all lying on the window, watching the fight seriously......

"Stop fighting! Ah......h

Zhao Yu was obviously not Huo Anu's opponent, although he was carrying the iron umbrella, he was still kicked to the ground, extremely embarrassed.

Looking at Huo Anu again, as if he had a deep hatred with him, he waved the iron umbrella mercilessly, almost killing the umbrella!

"Am I wrong, am I wrong? I apologize to you...... I ......" Zhao Yu barely blocked it a few times, and when he saw that it was useless to beg for it, he had to open his throat and shout, "Lord Xu, help!" Help......"

The shout resounded through the valley, and even echoed.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yu blocked six or seven times, and the door was already wide open, and the defeat was fully revealed.

Huo Anu didn't even open the iron umbrella, so he easily picked up Zhao Yu's saber, and then kicked it towards the ditch next to him.

The ditch was more than one person deep, and after Zhao Yu fell, he fell directly into the icy river!

"Ah...... Help, help...... Wululu ......"

Although the river was not deep, Zhao Yu fell flat and drank several sips of water on the spot.

Fortunately, the current was not very strong, and he threw himself in the water a few times, then he rushed to the shore and grabbed the willow branches on the shore......

"Oops! What's going on? Finally, Xu Zun's exclamation came from the shore, "Why did Zhao Zhutou fall into the water?" Fast! Hurry up and save people! ”

Soon, Liu Dong threw the rope to Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu pulled the rope and climbed ashore with difficulty.

"Fire ...... Huowang ......"

Zhao Yu just wanted to scold Huo Anu, but when he saw Huo Anu pick up the terrifying iron umbrella again, he was so frightened that he quickly closed his mouth and hid behind Xu Zun tremblingly.

"Huo Anu, it's too unusual!" Xu Zun pointed at the fire and shouted, "Zhao Zhutou is the guard of the Holy Lord, how can you ...... How can it be ......"

Who knows, Huo Anu glared at Xu Zun arrogantly, and Xu Zun was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.

So, Xu Zun hurriedly changed his words and turned to Liu Dong and ordered: "Quick! The water on this cold day will soon freeze to death!

"Come, let's quickly take off Zhao Zhutou's clothes and change him into dry clothes!"

"Oh, yes!"

So, Xu Zun and Liu Dong immediately got started and began to pick up Zhao Yu's clothes.

"Don't? Isn't that good? Zhao Yu, who was like a chicken in soup, trembled like a sifting chaff, but his face was flushed with shame.

"Oh, yes!" Xu Zun hurriedly said, "Then go to the carriage to change!" Hurry up, you'll get frostbite if it's late! ”

Saying that, Xu Zun and Liu Dong forcibly pulled him into the carriage despite Zhao Yu's objections.

At this moment, Xiwa and Kuniang had already come outside the carriage.

As the carriage swayed for a while, after a while, Xu Zun came out of the carriage with Zhao Yu's wet clothes.

As soon as he came out, he threw his clothes on the ground and began to search carefully.

As a result, he quickly noticed the anomaly, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled out a booklet from an extremely hidden inner pocket!

The booklet is made of brocade silk and looks relatively high-end.

"Huh?"

Huo Anu hurried over.

Xu Zun also thought it was a secret letter, so he immediately opened it and looked through it, and as a result, Huo Anu's face turned red.

But seeing that there were some pictures that were inappropriate for children in the booklet, Xu Zun frowned, and after savoring it again, he put it back again.

In addition, there were no abnormal objects in Zhao Yu's clothes, only some scattered silver and gambling supplies such as dice and pai gow.

Gee......

Xu Zun asked Xiwa to put away her clothes, and then moved away with Huo Anu.

"How?" Xu Zun asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

"It shouldn't be pretended," Huo Anu recalled, "I attacked so suddenly, there were several times just now that it was a matter of life and death, if he is really a master, he will inevitably show flaws." ”

"Tut-tut......" Xu Zun smacked his lips again, "So, he was able to cut off the fake Qiu Yongnian's arm just because he was lucky?" ”

"It should be," Huo Anu nodded, "At that time, the fake Qiu Yongnian had already entered a state of madness, and was restrained by me and the internal guards, so he had a chance. ”

"Oh......" Xu Zun looked at the carriage that was still shaking, and there was a trace of deep worry in his eyes.

"Lord Xu," Huo Anu asked, "Are you so suspicious of Zhao Zhutou?" In addition to the fact that he cut off the fake Qiu Yongnian's arm, what else? ”

"Alas!" Xu Zun said abruptly, "On the night of the iron coffin incident, I was followed on my way home from prison.

"At that time, the fake Qiu Yongnian and others were busy with the iron coffin case, so I suspect that the person who followed me was ......"

"Huh?" As a result, Huo Anu didn't wait for Xu Zun to finish speaking, so he interrupted him and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" The person who followed you at that time was me! ”
