Chapter 406: Victory and Defeat, Life and Death
The two of them showed surprise at the same time, obviously not expecting Liu Yuan to say such an opinion.
But the surprise is the surprise, but it is different from Xia Lingling's surprise, the boss's surprise is that the young and little-known senior in front of him is not surprised and deliberately pretended.
As the boss of the Xia family, he mainly dealt with jobs similar to recruiting talents in those years, and he had seen a lot of tricks like this.
There are a considerable number of people who don't have much ability, they can't write, and they haven't practiced martial arts for a few days, so they deliberately say some shocking words loudly, wanting to take the lead in taking the lead, and finally end up being swept out of the house after being exposed, which is embarrassing.
In such a situation, the eldest son of the Xia family subconsciously regarded Liu Yuan as such a person.
But it's not right to think about it again, since the other party is a person who can be called a predecessor by Xiaomei, he must have some real skills, otherwise Xiaomei is so easy to deceive.
Let's see what this person said after that, thinking of this, the boss was immediately not so surprised, and he didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the person in front of him.
"Yes, such traces and techniques seem to be deliberate. Liu Yuan squatted down beside Xia Lingling, reaching out to gently caress the soil and tree roots.
After listening to Liu Yuan's reconfirmation, even Xia Lingling became more serious.
She had already discovered the point of this trace before, if she could follow this trace, continue to go down, find new discoveries, and find the place where the second brother is now.
But now after listening to the words of her predecessors, Xia Lingling re-examined the current situation and really saw something new.
"Come and take a look here, from your mouths, the strength of the two is compared, such traces should be left by the second son of the Xia family......" Liu Yuan pointed to those traces and began to explain carefully.
Previously, because Liu Yuan was also going to follow, he had already given him a general explanation of the situation, and he knew the specific strength of those two people in his heart.
Therefore, the current situation is easier to analyze, like the strength of the man in black, it is absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to leave traces.
The first is that there is no need for this, and the second is that it will not cause such a superficial thing.
Obviously, with the improvement of strength, and the people I met, I met more and more masters of the rivers and lakes, and the things I learned back then also improved a lot.
And with Liu Yuan's words, everything in front of him seemed to have become lines one by one, and gradually became clear in Xia Lingling's sight.
After a while, I heard Xia Lingling say: "Yes, senior, you are reasonable, that's the case." With this statement in mind, the next action can only be more cautious.
Listening to the two of you and me there, the boss is limited by his own martial arts attainments are not advanced enough, and he doesn't understand very well, but he seems to understand a little bit about it.
knows that this senior is not empty of a name, and he really has the ability to convince people.
At that moment, he smiled a little more, and said to Liu Yuan, who stood up: "A word from a senior, a little bit of mystery, is really a master." ”
"Hehe, I don't dare to bear it. Liu Yuan said modestly on the surface, but in fact, he was already muttering in his heart.
He's obviously just a man in his twenties, but now he's being treated like an old-timer every day, which is not a pleasant thing.
And the same is Zhao Dabao who is next to him, he really lives in the clouds and fog and doesn't know what to do, but he thinks that this unknown senior is really old.
The eldest son and the young lady of the Xia family, who can bluff, are convinced of it, and they are really capable.
"Now, what should we do?" Xia Lingling said as she looked at her eldest brother with inquiring eyes.
After all, in this matter, it is still dominated by his eldest brother, whether he can catch the second brother or not, she will not be the one who will benefit, and as for the punishment, she is already like this, and irrelevant matters cannot contact her.
And her focus is not on this matter, but on something else, about the cheats, which is the most important thing to her.
"We need to think about it in the long term. The old man said in a loud voice, after all, this is not a trivial matter, he needs to make a final decision.
Now that there are such variables, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, he needs a living dick, and it is useless to die.
"Yes. Xia Lingling nodded, how to decide that it was the eldest brother's business, she just told the situation and didn't say anything more.
Sometimes there are things that you can't say too much, especially at critical moments, or when faced with people who are already suspicious and wonder if there is something else.
So it's good to stop at the point, and after that, a few people walked out of the house.
Before leaving, he didn't say anything, so that the owner of the mansion was still a little apprehensive, not knowing if the matter was over, and he didn't even dare to go to the backyard, for fear of destroying something.
It wasn't until the eldest prince withdrew the soldiers in front of the door and everyone left, and someone told him that he was fine, that he was relieved.
And as soon as the matter ended, the people who were watching outside begged to enter and see the world, and the host's family was also a hospitable person, and suddenly felt that this had happened, and it was very good for themselves to have a long face.
didn't stop it at the moment, and its mansion was lively again.
After leaving, the boss should have whispered something to communicate with Xia Lingling, Liu Yuan also left temporarily, only told Xia Lingling where he lived, and then went to the inn.
In fact, there is no need to say it, even if you don't say it, the other party's power in the city, since you already know that Liu Yuan is in the city, it is not difficult to find him.
Since it has been said, it is to show that the two sides are in a state of mutual trust.
Came to a secluded long street, chose a two-story restaurant, and Xiao Er chose a private room by the window, there was no one around, and it was a very quiet environment.
I happened to be busy all day and didn't eat anything, so the brother and sister chatted while eating.
At first, while eating, I chatted about some parents, such as what happened in the city after Xia Lingling left.
After eating almost enough, the boss began to ask what he really wanted to know.
Putting down the cup, he wiped his lips, looked at his sister and said slowly: "I don't know what you said earlier, what is the surprise related to that senior?"
knew that the eldest brother mentioned this matter, and at first Xia Lingling thought about how to answer.
It's also very simple, I saw Xia Lingling smile quite mysteriously: "It's still a secret for the time being, and when the eldest brother finishes dealing with the second brother's affairs, he will naturally know it then." ”
......
Staying alone in the inn, Pei Jiao was always a little uneasy in his heart, whether he was sitting or standing, he simply planned to tinker with some gadgets.
As soon as he took out the small baggage of the bottles and cans he was carrying, there was a knock on the door.
As expected, Liu Yuan came back, and the first thing Pei Jiao asked after opening the door: "How is the news going, have you contacted the Xia family?"
"It's okay, the situation is going well, I believe there will be a result soon. After speaking, Liu Yuan went to the table and sat down.
"That's good, have you met that Xia City Lord?" Pei Jiao said and sat down.
"Ah, that's what I've seen, otherwise I'll find somewhere to talk about things. Liu Yuan said casually, not noticing the change in Pei Jiao's tone at all, and drank two cups of tea in succession after speaking, he was really a little thirsty.
Fortunately, his eyesight continued to improve, if he hadn't been able to deal with it just now, it would have been dangerous later.
I hope that Dantang's matter will pass quickly, if his identity as a senior is revealed, he doesn't know what he will encounter later, and every step he takes in Hongguang City is tantamount to crossing a single-plank bridge.
So he still needs to think about something, so Liu Yuan completely lowered his head and pondered his go, and he didn't look at Pei Jiao's expression at this time.
The latter's expression was extremely entangled at this time, although he knew that it was nothing, but Liu Yuan and the city lord surnamed Xia were always uncomfortable.
"The city may be more lively for a while, so it's better for us to go out less. Liu Yuan seemed to have figured out something, and suddenly looked up at Pei Jiao and said.
"Okay, anyway, as long as you can get the orange back. Pei Jiao shook his head, a little emotional.
It was the scorching sun outside, and there was still some time before the evening, and the patrol team was still patrolling non-stop, and the entire Hongguang City had already searched for more than half of it, but found nothing.
At the beginning, Zhao Dabao discovered something different, and there was no new discovery later.
As for the situation in Beicheng District that day, don't look at the huge noise, but it is like thunder and rain, and there has been no progress so far, or there is no substantial discovery at all.
But on this point, these people didn't dare to talk much, but just whispered to a few trusted brothers.
After that day, Zhao Dabao was mentioned by the boss, telling him not to talk too much, and never to mention the events of that day.
Sure enough, there was that curious person who asked Zhao Dabao about the situation by means of knocking on the side.
Generally, loyal but inflexible people will choose to be silent, and others will say I don't know what they ask, but Zhang Dabao is obviously not this kind.
He was a loyal and intelligent man, and he chose the excuse of prevarication, saying that he had not found anything, and after a long time, naturally no one bothered him, and he also successfully dispelled the curiosity of most people.
More than two days have passed since the second child happened that night.
With such high-intensity patrols all the time, there is always a time when I am tired, that is, this night.
It was still the same secret room, and the two of them didn't seem to even move around in place.
"How long has it been, do you know what to expect?" said the second child in a low voice, feeling a little uncomfortable after staying in the dark and claustrophobic environment for a long time.
"Two days. The man in black replied coldly, as if nothing had changed, and as if he knew what the other party was going to ask, and then said, "I will act tonight." ”
Sure enough, Xia Yizhang's eyes lit up when he heard the news, and he said, "Be careful all the way." ”
Since the other party can take the initiative, it is naturally better, Xia Yizhang can't say anything to stop him, and being careful all the way is his greatest blessing.
In fact, he still has a sentence, he endured and endured it and finally didn't declare it.
For the past two days, he and the man in black sat like this not completely, and did not say anything.
Because he knew that he would inevitably go out to inquire about some news later, the second Xia Yizhang mentioned one or two places intentionally or unintentionally.
It is based on his understanding of Hongguang City after living in Hongguang City for so many years.
It was brought up over and over again, and there was a time gap in between, and the place was contained in seemingly related words, so it was just a hint to the other party all the time.
has been hinting that as long as it plays this role, you can't show your intentions too obviously, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will go to hell early.
But he was afraid that he would not succeed, so when he was parting before, he endured it again and again, and did not 'mention' a few more words after all.
It's all at this time, if you say those words again, it will easily arouse the vigilance of the other party, so I finally put up with it.
Of course, only you know if there is any other deep meaning hidden in these four simple words of being careful all the way.
"Don't worry, you can't die, and you don't want to die. The man in black said a word, got up and left, his body was completely hidden in the dark, and he left from the dark passage where he came.
Gradually, even the footsteps disappeared, indicating that the man in black had left completely.
"Perhaps, this will already be up there. Xia Yizhang raised his head slightly, looked at the top of his black head, and muttered to himself.
With a long exhale, Xia Yizhang's straight body, which was originally sitting, suddenly collapsed like flesh with bones.
It was only at this moment that he felt truly relaxed, yes, relaxed.
It was not only his thoughts that he had been tense before, but also his body, at least on the surface, he seemed to have confidence, and he couldn't be discouraged in front of the man in black.
Now, he can finally do it.
"Without his room, even the breath is so fresh. After taking a deep breath, Xia Yizhang's whole face was radiant again.
The previous feeling of having a small life in the hands of others was really uncomfortable.
From the moment he was born, he was smooth sailing, never suffered any setbacks, and was able to succeed in whatever he wanted to do.
Including taking over the family's business later, even the eldest brother didn't really pay attention to it.
Of course, under this premise, what has to be ignored is that many years ago, he lost to Xia Lingling in a martial arts competition.
That was his long-standing shame, which was ruthlessly imprinted in the bottom of his heart, and after Xia Lingling ran away and successfully took over Dade County, this shame reached its peak.
Later, he slowly calmed down, and when he learned that the other party had lost Dadejun again, he didn't even have any fluctuations in his heart, and the happiness on the surface was for outsiders to see.
He must also thank that incident back then, which made him understand a truth, what is meant to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
People who have really been in a happy environment for a long time and have been smooth sailing, even if they know this word, will not really understand it.
Xia Yizhang stood up from the ground in a different way, and there was already a pool of sweat on his buttocks, and he had not changed his position from beginning to end.
There is a hidden mechanism hidden in the sweat, which is enough to completely bury the man in black who moves slightly......
