Chapter 32: Cross-examination

"Be careful!"

Looking at the billowing smoke and dust in front of her, hundreds of spirit horses galloped over, and Yao Niang hurriedly whispered to Situ Nan on the side.

Restraining the red horse under him, looking at the hundreds of demon slayers slowly approaching, Situ Nan couldn't help but take a deep breath. When he saw a silver-armored white horse in front of him, his face couldn't help but become more solemn.

"Don't worry, everything is with me!"

gave Yao Niang a reassuring look, and then the galloping horse team on the opposite side approached in front of him,

Since he and Yao Niang left Cuijiaji, in just two hundred miles, they have been inspected by five or six waves of Xuzhou troops. Fortunately, Situ Nan has been dressed up by Yao Niang's disguise powder, but he has not shown his feet.

Although he was facing a more elite demon slayer this time, Situ Nan did not panic.

Without waiting for the other party to ask, Situ Nan took the initiative to dismount, walked to the side of Yao Niang's horse, and said loudly.

"Ma'er, this is our military master of Da Zhou, don't be shocked and scare my daughter-in-law!"

At this time, the demon slaying school of the silver armor and white horse stopped in front of Situ Nan, heard Situ Nan's words, watched Situ Nan pull the female companion's horse rope, nodded, hugged his fists, and then opened his mouth to speak.

"This official is Zhang Congjian, the demon slayer. Where the military position is, how offensive! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. General Zhang, you have something to say. The little ones know everything. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Congjian nodded before asking.

"Look at the appearance of the two of you, but there is something urgent?"

"General Zhang, the little father-in-law is seriously ill, and he will go back to visit with his clumsy Jing."

"Oh? Where is your father-in-law? ”

"Shanghe County."

Zhang Congjian nodded, this place is less than eighty miles away from Shanghe County, and Situ Nan's statement is also credible.

"By the way, where are you two from?"

"From Lingjiang County."

"But a native of Lingjiang County?"

"General Zhang, my ancestral home is Lingjiang County."

"Coincidentally, I didn't expect to meet a fellow countryman."

Hearing this, Situ Nan felt a thrill in his heart, but he pretended to have a surprised expression on his face.

"Yes, yes! What a coincidence! ”

"Yes, speaking of which, this official hasn't been back to Lingjiang for a long time. The drunken shrimp in this Fumanlou has not been tasted for many years, I really miss it! ”

When Situ Nan heard this, he secretly said bad in his heart, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he looked at Zhang Congjian's face as if it was really like an aftertaste. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he reacted when he thought that this place was only more than two hundred miles away from Lingjiang County.

So Situ Nan deliberately showed a puzzled expression, and asked tentatively.

"General Zhang, forgive the little loneliness. This drunken shrimp in Fumanlou has never heard of it. ”

Situ Nan stared at Zhang Congjian's expression as he spoke, and continued cautiously.

"Even this Fumanlou, the small one is the first time I have heard of it. It's really ......."

Sure enough, as soon as Situ Nan's words came out, Zhang Congjian's expression in front of him showed a trace of trance, and then he laughed awkwardly.

"Look at my memory, the drunken shrimp in Fumanlou is a characteristic of Liujiang County. It's the official's confusion! Let the folks, you see the joke! Hahaha! ”

"General Zhang is dedicated to the public and has not returned to his hometown for several years, which is really admirable! Some old things, I don't remember, it's human nature! ”

Thousands of clothes are worn, but the sycophants are not worn, and Situ Nan sent a rainbow fart at the right time.

"Interesting! Dare to ask your hometown's surname? ”

"General Zhang is polite! The small surname is Ma, and the single name is a cloud! Just call me a pony! ”

"Oh? Brother Ma, but are you a relative of the Ma County Order in Lingjiang County? ”

Seeing Zhang Congjian's pretending to be close, Situ Nan felt disdain in his heart.

It's a pretend!

Although Situ Nan didn't know what the surname of the county magistrate of Lingjiang County was, with Zhang Congjian's temptation in front of him, he also had some confidence to answer at this moment.

"General Zhang, could it be that he remembered it wrongly? There is no Ma County Order in Lingjiang County, only Wang County Order who loves the people like a son! ”

"Really? It seems that this official is indeed misremembering! Hahaha. ”

Zhang Congjian looked into Situ Nan's eyes, looked at it for a while, and then laughed again.

The two were General Zhang and Brother Ma, and after chatting for a while, Zhang Congjian said goodbye to the two. Waving his hand, the two of them could leave.

When the two of them walked away, a man suspected to be Adjutant Zhang Congjian in the Demon Slayer drove to his side and asked in a low voice.

"General, didn't the general of Lingjiang Maxian Ling see it some time ago?"

Zhang Congjian's words just now were half-true, and the adjutant knew that he was not from Lingjiang County, but this Lingjiang Ma County Order was his hometown. Situ Nan's flawed words were all heard in the ears of the adjutant. Naturally, he was a little puzzled by Zhang Congjian's letting go of the two.

"You're asking me why I didn't take them down when I knew they were telling the truth?"

"Look down and fight bravely, and hope that the general will forgive his sins!"

"Alright. Don't pretend. ”

Zhang Congjian knew the adjutant's temper and waved his hand before continuing.

"Did the two of them find out their cultivation just now?"

"Got it. Both of them are in the realm of four elephants. ”

"What do you do with them? On what charges? ”

"This...."

"Why are we out this time?"

"Arrest the murderer of Lord Tao!"

"Isn't that it, two young people from the Four Elephant Realm, do you think they will be murderers?"

"But ......"

The adjutant was about to say more, but was interrupted by Zhang Congjian.

"Don't. Remember, let's eliminate demons, kill demons, and deceive! There are some things that we can't participate in. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Sooner or later, something will happen! ”

After Zhang Congjian finished speaking, he waved his horsewhip, rode his horse and ran in the direction where Situ Nan and the others came, looked at the sun slowly setting in the sky, and laughed softly.

"What a funny young man. It's a pity that the ginger is still old and spicy! I didn't expect it, hahahaha! ”

Of course, what Zhang Congjian and the adjutant said, Situ Nan couldn't hear it.

At this moment, he and Yao Niang rode their horses and galloped for nearly ten miles, and their speed slowly slowed down.

"It's so dangerous, almost a goof! I can't imagine you're quite clever! ”

Yao Niang still has palpitations at the moment, but fortunately, Situ Nan is smart enough and reacts quickly, so he didn't show his feet, otherwise both of them would suffer.

When Zhang Congjian approached just now, the aura all over her body made Yao Niang nervous, it was a breath far more powerful than the ordinary Five Elements Realm, just like when Yao Niang looked at King Kong and now Situ Nan, the feeling was far stronger than that of ordinary Four Elephant Realm monks.

"Maybe it's been exposed."

Seeing that Yao Niang looked lucky, Situ Nan said with some uncertainty. Zhang Congjian's meaningful eyes just now gave Situ Nan a feeling of being a goof.

He had a hunch that there must have been a mistake in his conversation just now, but he didn't know why Zhang Congjian didn't take them?

In this regard, Situ Nan was very puzzled.

"Really?"

When Yao Niang heard Situ Nan's words, she was also at a loss.

"Alright. It's all gone, thinking about what to do. Nothing to worry about! There's a lake in front of us, let's go over and take a walk! ”

Riding on the horse, Situ Nan saw a huge lake in front of him, the green embankment on the side was covered with dense willow trees, the green lake reflected the figure of the willow tree, and the reflection of the remnant sun on the horizon.

"Hmm!"

Yao Niang nodded and answered softly.

The two of them tumbled off their horses, found a place to tie them, and walked slowly towards the lake together.
