Chapter Forty-Eight: The Dead

"You sneaked into the General's Mansion in the middle of the night last night, and you still dare to say that you are innocent?"

"I said Miss, our two brothers have been recruited, the two of us just want to take advantage of the general's absence at home, come in and steal something, there is really no other meaning......

"Yes, Miss, our brother is so poor that he can't open the pot, this is the ghost, we are wrong, Miss will let us go......"

The corners of Xu Luo's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he felt like he had been deceived.

Xu Luo heard these two people at once, it was the two guys he met in the West Market.

Tang Yong and Li Yu!

At that time, Xu Luo felt that there should be a story about those two people. But I didn't expect that in the end, these two guys turned out to be liars...... Not only is he a liar, but now he is also a thief......

"Hmph, are you stupid yourself or am I stupid?" Ripple's cold and disdainful voice came from there: "Is it really the Zhenguo General's Mansion to be an ornament?

"Miss, we are really just two little thieves, what can we do!" Li Yu cried with a sad face, was tied to the pillar, couldn't move, and looked at the ripples pitifully: "We don't understand what you said at all!"

"Zhilu said why didn't I detain you separately for interrogation?" Ripple said lightly: "It's because I don't think it's necessary, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, turn around, I'll let you two kill you." ”

"Hey, Miss, please, don't kill us, we're two thieves, killing us will dirty your hands, Miss......"

"There are two fifth-order sword master realm martial artists who changed their careers to become thieves, and then entered the general's mansion in the middle of the night to steal things?"

Ripple's voice gradually became cold, and he said slowly: "You have calculated everything, I'm afraid you just didn't calculate my existence! Not to mention my strength, far surpassing you!"

As he spoke, Ripple sneered again: "You even know the time when those secret guards in the mansion change guards, and now is the emptiest time in the General's Mansion, you two, if you really don't want to say it, then don't say it, anyway, it's two enemies, and it's a hundred to kill it!"

"Miss...... begging ......" Li Yu over there didn't finish speaking, but he was stopped by Tang Yong on the side.

"Okay, Li Xiaoyu, aren't you ashamed? isn't it over yet?" Tang Yong scolded over there, and then said: "Yes, we are not thieves, but the purpose of our coming to this general's mansion is indeed to find something, and we just want to prove one thing!"

"Tang Yong, you're stupid, aren't you? You dare to say this, you don't care if you don't want to die, what about those orphans and widows?"

Li Xiaoyu also changed his previous weak and obscene appearance, and shouted at Tang Yong: "If you dare to burden them, Lao Tzu will not let you go!"

Tang Yong didn't pay attention to Li Xiaoyu, looked at the ripples and said, "Lord Suzaku County, I don't think you are a vicious woman, otherwise you wouldn't just lock us up here, I just want to ask you for one thing." ”

Say. Ripple looked at Tang Yong calmly, but he was thinking in his heart: It's not like a vicious one? That's because you have crossed paths with the young master!

Yes, after Ripple caught Tang Yong and Li Xiaoyu, he felt that these two people were hiding a big secret, and even suspected that they had something to do with the attack on Xu Luo some time ago, so he immediately investigated the details of these two people.

The General's Mansion seems empty, but in fact, as a family with a thousand-year-old heritage, how can it be as weak as it appears on the surface?

The various forces of the Xu family are still very strong, and now they are in the hands of Ripples by Luo Xinlan.

It only took Ripple one night to investigate the relevant information about these two people, but what made Ripple very puzzled was that according to what was shown on the data.

These two people have always been adventurers, and later in an expedition, the team fell into danger, and the team suffered heavy casualties, and at the end of the day, only Tang Yong and Li Yu survived.

So the two began to make a living in the West Market by collecting and selling medicinal herbs, and their usual trick was to sing double reeds to fool those rich people who didn't know how to do it. The two of them are red-faced and white-faced, looking like rivals, but in fact they are working together to deceive people.

The two have accumulated a lot of money over the years, which has been given to the families of those who died that year.

However, the strange thing is that with the strength of the Xu Mansion, there is no trace of the families of the dead adventure team members back then!

I only know that these two people will disappear for half a month to a month every once in a while, and after they come back, they will continue to deceive people......

Ripple didn't believe that this matter would be so simple, if those widows were really the families of the dead members of the adventure group, why couldn't the Xu Mansion find any clues?

Until just now, there was news back, saying that the so-called adventure group of these two people was nothing at all!

But there is really no industry in the names of these two people!

In other words, Tang Yong and Li Yu, two people who have the strength of a fifth-order sword master and can be called a strong man, may have quite a big secret hidden in them!

If they hadn't made up their minds to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, it would have been fine, and now they had obviously come with a purpose, how could they rest assured if Ripples didn't investigate this matter?

"I want to ask the county lord to get a copy of the general's handwriting. Tang Yong hesitated slightly, and finally opened his mouth to say.

"Huh?" Ripple was stunned for a moment, she never thought that these two people would go to great lengths to investigate everything in the Zhenguo General's Mansion and touch it in, just to get a copy of the handwriting of the Zhenguo General?

What's going on?

At this time, Xu Luo's heart was set off by a monstrous giant, and a lightning flashed in his mind, and he instantly figured out something.

Then, Xu Luo pushed the door out, and then knocked on the door next to him.

Ripples already knew that Xu Luo was coming, and walked over and opened the door.

"Sister, you go out first, these two people, leave it to me. As soon as Xu Luo spoke, Tang Yong and Li Yu over there were stunned, but neither of them spoke.

"Young master, you can't believe their words, these two people have strange things. Ripple said softly.

Xu Luo nodded: "Don't worry, I know it." ”

Now that the two of them were under control, Ripple was not afraid that they would be unfavorable to Xu Luo, so he immediately turned around and went out. She still has things to arrange, and if she doesn't fully understand the details of these two people, I'm afraid she won't even be able to sleep well.

"The two eldest brothers recognize me?" Xu Luo smiled, casually sitting on the chair that Ripple had just sat on, looking at Tang Yong and Li Yu who were tied to the pillar.

"It's you, little brother, you...... You turned out to be from the Zhenguo General's Mansion...... Second Young Master?" Tang Yong asked in disbelief.

Just now, he and Li Yu heard Xu Luo's voice at once, and they were very familiar, and then they remembered the young man who bought their Sun Grass, but they weren't sure yet, but they didn't expect the other party to open their mouths and admit that the person was him.

"That's right, it's me, my name is Xu Luo. ”

"You are Xu Luo!" Tang Yong suddenly realized, and then said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect us to meet again, it's really ashamed to be in this kind of scene......

"I want to know, what happened to that incident back then?" Xu Luo didn't hide anything, got straight to the point, and asked directly.

Tang Yong raised his eyebrows and said, "What happened back then?" Second Young Master, you ...... this problem?"

"It was the fiasco back then, and it was also the only stain on my father's life. I wonder what kind of order you received as a dead soldier to attack rashly and light a beacon fire, so that the forward general under my father's account fell into the encirclement of the enemy with you, and died in a tragic battle......"

"You...... What are you talking about? I don't understand......" The muscles on Tang Yong's face twitched violently, but he flatly denied it.

Li Yu, who was tied to the side, also looked at Xu Luo with a blank expression.

"Okay, don't pretend, I went to the Black Forest before and was chased and killed by the Yuan brothers, but they didn't succeed, hehe, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you. ”

Xu Luo smiled and said lightly: "The brothers of the Yuan family told me something, it was about the defeat that year, they have a younger brother, named Yuan Zhi, this person, I think you should know each other, right?"

"Unexpectedly, the second young master is really hidden and smart enough to guess our true identity from our brother's words. Tang Yong said, his face couldn't help showing a sad look.

"Yes, our brother was one of the three hundred dead soldiers......! They used to be your father's henchmen!"

Tang Yong said, his face was a little distorted, he gritted his teeth, and said slowly: "Our brother has lived in the world for so many years, just to see the general with his own eyes one day, and ask him, why did he know that Lu Dao was sent to death, but he ordered us to do it!"

"For what?"

"We are called dead soldiers, so naturally we are not afraid of death!"

"We are the elite soldiers of the Firmament Country, it is our duty to serve the country and sacrifice for the country, but it is meaningless to send us to death, we can't accept it!"

"Our robes are dying miserably!"

"Countless people have fought to the extreme, and they will not be blinded!"

"I don't blink to death!"

Tang Yong's roaring voice echoed in the dungeon, but this tall and strong man was full of tears at the moment.

Li Yu on the side also had red eyes, and then Tang Yong's words said: "We were ambushed there back then, and only the general's personal secret order could mobilize us.

After we attacked, the start went well, and when we lit the beacon fire and reminded the vanguard to attack, we suddenly fell into a heavy siege, miserable!

Inside the dungeon, the voices of Li Yu and Tang Yong echoed like crying, and these two people had been held back by this incident for many years.

I would wake up in the middle of the night with nightmares, and my mind would be full of the vivid faces of the dead robes.

Now that I bring it up again, I still can't control my emotions.

Xu Luo thought of Yuan Zhi's death, and thought of his father's defeat in that battle, which caused the military general's power to be frantically suppressed and impeached by the civil power of the court.

At the same time, it was precisely after that war that the interest group headed by Wei Xiang completely rose and established the Wei family's status in the firmament country in one fell swoop!
