Chapter Ninety-Three: Thunder Blows Up
Although Chai Shien didn't have much hope for this competition, but listening to Yun Song and Liao Shui, you said that he was happy, he couldn't help but feel a lot of pride, he slapped the table and stood up, stepped on the chair with one foot, and pointed at Jiang Shan with his finger and said, "Senior brother and sister, don't look at people in the cracks of the door, and look at people flat! This competition hasn't started yet, maybe there will be a miracle, let me fish in troubled waters, and the blind cat will meet a dead mouse, and I will easily pass the test?"
"Senior Brother Chai, it's not that I'm going to splash cold water on you," Liao Shui couldn't help laughing, "You are so clever, you don't need it at all in the competition." I advise you to resign yourself to your fate tomorrow and save your life!"
The three of them were laughing when they heard a loud explosion like thunder, followed by a shaking of the ground, the flasks and glasses on the table were all overturned, and even the candlesticks were extinguished crookedly. Yun Song's heart tightened, and he whispered to the two of them in the dark, "Light the candle, stay here and don't go out, I'll go out to investigate, and I'll be back soon!"
Liao Shui originally wanted to go with him, but Yun Song's movements were too fast, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye. Chai Shien took out the fire fold, fumbled for the candlestick, and re-lit it. The table was already in a mess, and Liao Shui asked while cleaning up, "Senior Brother Chai, do you think it will be the earth moving?"
"No!" Chai Shien's mind had drifted out of the clouds. Thinking of the incident two days ago when someone planted explosives under the martial arts arena, I feel even more strange. One thing he thought of was Yuan Mao. At that moment, he said to Liao Shui, "Senior sister, I suddenly remembered something, I want to go on a trip and come back soon!"
"You come back for me!" Liao Shui wanted to stop Chai Shien, but he was dexterously dodged, made a grimace and ran out. Liao Shui muttered angrily, "One by two, they all ran out, leaving me here alone, what's the fun!"
Chai Shien didn't dare to stay for a moment, and went directly to find Yuan Mao. When he opened the door of the palace, he happened to see Yuan Mao holding a pig's trotter with oil in his hands, and when he saw him coming, he immediately greeted, "Senior Brother Chai, you are really blessed, you came just in time." This is the pig's trotters with smoked sauce that my brother got from my brother, there are ten in total, and I left two for you. Come on, come on, eat together!"
"Okay, thank you Senior Brother Yuan!" Chai Shien sat down and looked at the things on the table quietly. Three of the five oil-paper packets were empty, and the remaining two contained a pair of shiny pig's trotters each. The plate in front of Yuan Mao was already piled with sharp gnawed bones, and it seemed that he had been eating for a while.
"Today's dinner didn't even have a bit of meat, but fortunately, Senior Brother Ge brought me this in time, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to sleep well. Yuan Mao handed a pig's trotter to Chai Shien. Chai Shien asked, "When did Senior Brother Ge come, I happened to be looking for him for something, but I haven't seen him until now." ”
"It was half an hour ago," Yuan Mao opened his mouth and tore off a piece of smoked crimson flesh, chewing a few mouthfuls and said indistinctly, "I left him to eat meat and drink wine, but he said that he had something to do." You also know that Senior Brother Ge is a busy man, and I am embarrassed to stay. You must know that you are also looking for him, and I will leave him behind!"
Ge Kunfeng had seen Yuan Mao half an hour ago, and seeing that his hands were full of oil at the moment, Chai Shien couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he had guessed wrong? He used the excuse that he must find Ge Kunfeng tonight, and hurriedly left with the two pig's trotters that Yuan Mao had forced into him.
Chai Shien was bent on finding Ge Kunfeng to verify whether what Yuan Mao said was the truth, and at the same time, Ge Kunfeng was also looking for him. After a lot of tossing back and forth, I finally met in front of the door of Ichiki.
"Chai, Senior Brother Chai, I, I'm looking for you!" Ge Kunfeng ran out of breath, pointed at Chai Shien and said, "Why are you and Senior Sister Liao Shui not in the hall, where have you been?" Chai Shien said, "Senior Sister Liao Shui and I went to see Senior Brother Yun, don't talk about this, Senior Brother Ge, have you been to see Yuan Mao tonight?"
Ge Kunfeng gasped and nodded, "Yes, he asked me to buy ten pig's trotters with smoked sauce, and I just sent them to him not long ago." Why, do you suspect that Fang Cai's loud noise has something to do with him?" Chai Shien said, "But, you have only seen him, and half an hour later, when I went, he was gnawing on the bones of a table, and he didn't look like he had done anything unsightly, could it be that I was wrong?"
"No, maybe you're right!" Ge Kunfeng looked left and right, no one passed here, he pulled Chai Shien into Yishixi, and said in a low voice, "When I went to see him, he was very flustered, and he didn't seem to think that I would go." Moreover, I saw with my own eyes that he hid something in the cupboard, sneaky. ”
"Let's go, let's wait for Senior Brother Yun and see what he knows. "Chai Shien knows that this matter can't be hidden anymore, if he doesn't catch this mastermind behind the scenes, I'm afraid that the entire Wuxuan Palace will be turned upside down by him!
After a meal, Yun Song returned. He looked sad, and when he saw that Ge Kunfeng was also there, he was a little surprised, "Senior Brother Ge, are you here too?" Ge Kunfeng got straight to the point, "Senior Brother Yun, there is something that Senior Brother Chai and I wanted to hide from you first and not cause trouble for you, but looking at the situation tonight, I'm afraid I can't help but say it." Senior Brother Chai, let's talk about it!"
"Senior Brother Yun, two days ago, I accidentally found a man in black near the competition platform, and after he left, I dug up a bamboo tube under the competition platform. When he showed it to Senior Brother Ge, he said that it was full of high explosives. ”
Ge Kunfeng nodded, indicating that Chai Shien was not lying. Chai Shien continued, "I didn't see that person's face, but judging from the fact that he was a little poor walking, this person may be Senior Brother Yuan Maoyuan. After you left, I immediately went to see Yuan Mao and found that he didn't seem to have a chance to do anything. But Senior Brother Ge saw with his own eyes that he looked panicked, and he was hiding something. Senior Brother Yun, look at ......"
"There is such a thing!" Yun Song's back felt a chill, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of tragedy would have happened tomorrow if Chai Shien hadn't found the bamboo tube containing the explosives. He immediately got up and bowed deeply to Ge Kunfeng and Chai Shien, "Thank you two juniors for your help, Yun Song is grateful! I also thank you for the juniors and sisters who are going to participate in the competition tomorrow!"
"Senior Brother Yun, don't be like this, this is all as it should be!"
"It's, it's just, didn't I save myself too?"
Ge Kunfeng and Chai Shien were polite for a while, and Liao Shui was dumbfounded when he heard it, "Good guy, there is such a thing! Senior Brother Chai, why are you even hiding it from me, huh?" She reached out and twisted Chai Shien's ear, Chai Shien was in pain, and begged for mercy, "Senior sister, I was wrong, I was wrong, you should give Senior Brother Yun a face, let him finish speaking!"
