Chapter 24: My Knife

The golden toad finally heard the girl's voice... Although he was a little hoarse, he didn't think much about it.

"Well, my subordinates are waiting outside the door. The golden toad responded.

"No!" Xie Yu said with a sharp voice. "You go!"

Hearing the girl's tone a little impatient, the golden toad wiped the sweat from his head.

This little ancestor is really short-tempered.

"Whew...," the golden toad replied. "The subordinate will retire. ”

.......

Xu Xiaozhang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the girl in his hand, gently put her on the ground, and sat down against the door of the ancestral hall before turning his gaze to Xie Yu again.

"Do you still bring a woman who doesn't know martial arts when you are an official?" Xu Xiaozhang walked up to Xie Yu and squatted down to look at him. "I didn't even notice her coming. ”

"So I'm really not here to arrest you. Xie Yu was really helpless, but fortunately, the intrusion of the other girl's girl eased the crisis that was just on the verge of breaking out.

"I'm sorry for saying something you didn't like. Xie Yu took a deep breath and prepared to explain to the other party about this turning point.

Although the other party is not very reasonable, his demeanor and speech do not reflect that he is a wicked person... Since there is no major conflict of interest, it can always be discussed, right?

The most important thing is to get out of this embarrassing situation first.

"Re-introduce yourself, in Xia Xie Yu, a native of Youzhou, Yanguo, entered Luo to study, because a friend was caught in a kidnapping case, and is currently investigating the relevant information about the 'Swimming Snake' Luo Li, so Your Excellency just said that I have seen him, I will behave a little too aggressively, please understand. Xie Yu was open and honest to Xu Xiaozhang, hoping to impress the other party with this. "Since Your Excellency said that he wanted to eliminate evil for the martial arts, is it evil to hold defenseless people hostage for money?"

"Absolutely. Xu Xiaozhang didn't expect Xie Yu to be able to say so much, and his attitude changed so quickly.

"I went down to rescue my friend, but there were many people on the other side, and I was only one person. He was imprisoned by the other party and escaped from the rear before encountering this caravan. Xie Yu saw that Xu Xiaozhang still didn't believe in himself, so he couldn't help but fully reveal his plan, the other party's martial arts were acceptable, and it might be a big help. "I want to go back to Luoyi to bring reinforcements first, but the other side is strong, I'm afraid that I will be caught by them before I get close to the wall of Luoyi, as for why I want to follow this caravan and be stationed here... It's a long story. ”

Xu Xiaozhang was silent... He was thinking about whether Xie Yu's words were credible.

Xie Yu didn't bother him either, and let him make his own choice.

......

After a long time, Xu Xiaozhang re-examined Xie Yu.

"So you're really not here to arrest my officers and soldiers?" asked Xu Xiaozhang.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions, and if your answer satisfies me, I'll believe you. Xu Xiaozhang was relieved. "You can make up stories to lie to me, but I'm not stupid. ”

Xie Yukou said that there was no evidence, and Xu Xiaozhang still needed more evidence and attitude to judge whether what this person said was true.

"Okay. Xie Yu did not hesitate.

"First, it's the same question from the original. Please tell me, what kind of caravan will be equipped with so many masters?" asked Xu Xiaozhang.

The question... Xie Yu actually doesn't know himself...

"IMHO... I don't know the situation of this caravan very well..."Xie Yu looked at Xu Xiaozhang squarely and replied. "I didn't even know this until Your Excellency pointed out that the caravan master outside was a martial artist. ”

"As for the many masters, it's not impossible..."Xie Yu turned his eyes to look at the girl sleeping by the door and said.

Xu Xiaozhang looked at Xie Yu's determined appearance, and then followed his gaze to look at the girl, and had a certain guess in his heart.

"Second, you said that your friend was kidnapped by Luo Li, what evidence do you have?" asked Xu Xiaozhang.

"Let me correct one thing first, whether Luo Li kidnapped my friend or not is still my personal guess for the time being. Xie Yu replied without thinking. "The reason is that 'Traveling a Hundred Miles a Day' was invited by the heroes of Luoyi to enter Beijing, and I went to watch the martial arts. Later, he was attacked when he participated in the evening banquet... They came prepared... The drinks we were drinking were mixed with drugs beforehand. ”

"For personal reasons, the drug didn't work for me... I pretended to be unconscious and was taken to the base by the other party... These are the afterwords..."Xie Yu paused. "The point is that this day is a hundred miles of travel by someone else... When he was competing, he used the Liangzhou Luojia wall technique, not the unique light skill of a hundred miles a day. ”

Hearing this, Xu Xiaozhang frowned.

Xie Yu was puzzled.

"Hold on for now. Xu Xiaozhang interrupted Xie Yu. "How did you see that the one who traveled a hundred miles a day was the Luo family's wall swimming technique?"

Xu Xiaozhang wanted to determine that Xie Yu was not making up stories along the trees.

"These two kinds of martial arts are recorded in "Chivalry, Body Method, and Light Skill"... It's similar, but it's very different... Hundred miles of Feiyan need..."Xie Yu tried to explain.

"Gotta get it, stop. The more Xu Xiaozhang listened, the more he couldn't listen. "Let me ask you, who is the Luoyi hero who invited him to travel a hundred miles a day?"

"It's Du Qing, the 'swordsman' among the five guests of Naluoyi. Xie Yu saw that Xu Xiaozhang had doubts, and replied with a smile. "Any questions?"

Xu Xiaozhang looked at Xie Yu with a slight suspicion, and immediately said, "You are the first day to mix the rivers and lakes, right? Du Qing ranked twelfth on the list of chivalrous characters... You can see the flaws in that man's martial arts, but he can't see it?"

!!!!!!

Xie Yu's eyes widened.

That's right, Du Qing is a five-guest in Luoyi. Although the Liangzhou Luo family's wall swimming skill seems very mysterious to outsiders, it should not be an uncommon exercise at his level!

Du Qing has a problem!!

Drinkers also have questions...

Yang Kai's brother...

It turned out that we were the only ones who were kept in the dark that day...

Countless clues poured into Xie Yu's mind from the depths of his memory, rushing to the estuary like tributaries of different waterways, details connecting details...

Xie Yu seemed to have been hit by the immobilization technique, staring and lying there motionless.

"Hey, don't play dead. Xu Xiaozhang kicked Xie Yu's body with his foot and said dissatisfied. "You can't convince me like that. ”

After Xu Xiaozhang's kick, Xie Yu came to his senses.

He really didn't understand the things in the rivers and lakes.

Why did I leave this thing out... If it weren't for the other party reminding him, maybe he would still be searching for evidence like a headless fly.

Xie Yu once again realized his shortcomings... It's no wonder that I'm not familiar with the affairs of the rivers and lakes...

Xie Yu glanced at Xu Xiaozhang gratefully and thanked him.

Xu Xiaozhang was very puzzled by Xie Yu's sudden thanks.

Is this man sick?

...

"Thank you, Your Excellency... I hadn't thought of that before. Xie Yu continued to answer Xu Xiaozhang's question. "Now it seems that even the swordsman has colluded with this man. ”

"What are you saying here inexplicably?" Xu Xiaozhang was a little angry.

"Don't hide it!" Xie Yu looked up at Xu Xiaozhang with determination in his eyes. "My friend is in danger, and now that I have the clues, I can't spend any more time here... Yu Dou dares to ask Your Excellency to unlock the acupuncture points. ”

Xu Xiaozhang was even more confused by Xie Yu's sudden request... But the perseverance and sincerity in Xie Yu's eyes are real.

Xu Xiaozhang was a little hesitant, he was thinking about the pros and cons.

"I've only asked you two questions. Xu Xiaozhang finally opened his mouth. "But neither of these questions satisfied me. ”

This time, Xie Yu was silent... He closed his eyes and carefully searched his mind for a solution to the problem.

It's understandable that I couldn't deal with the leaks in martial arts before... But at this time, it's just a simple argument, why can't you let down your guard?

Jungyu is in danger!

"For Your Excellency... Are the officers and soldiers who are here to hunt you down?" Xie Yu opened his eyes and looked directly at Xu Xiaozhang, his tone earnest.

Xu Xiaozhang looked at Xie Yu's serious expression, slightly sluggish.

This man changed his face so quickly?

"Yes. Xu Xiaozhang confronted this problem head-on.

"Then Your Excellency is innocent, right?" Xie Yu continued to ask. "According to what Your Excellency just said, the officers and soldiers originally wanted to arrest Li Yu and Luo Li, who were engaged in illegal transactions on that ship, right?"

"Yes. Xu Xiaozhang didn't understand what Xie Yu wanted to do, so he had to answer truthfully.

"Since Your Excellency is innocent, why did you arrest me?" Xie Yu said. "Even if I am an officer and soldier, since Your Excellency is innocent, I can't do anything to you, right?"

Oh yes...

I didn't do anything...

Xu Xiaozhang was a little shaken, but after thinking about it carefully, he still shook his head and said to Xie Yu.

"Because your leading officer... Kill me indiscriminately. Xu Xiaozhang replied. "I have no intention of doing anything with you at all, but you are forcing you again and again... Who knows if your leader wants to take my head to replace Luo Li who escaped. ”

Luo Li, who escaped...

"So Luo Li ran away?" Xie Yu asked. "Only Li Yu was caught?"

"Well, there are also Li Yu's apprentices, all of whom I killed. Xu Xiaozhang nodded. "Don't you all know?"

... No wonder this person was hunted down.

"I just assume that I am an officer and soldier. Xie Yu replied.

"Since only you and Li Yu were found on the ship... Luo Li fled again... If the officers and soldiers don't arrest you, who will you arrest? Who will trade with the air?" Xie Yu asked Xu Xiaozhang rhetorically.

"This..."Xu Xiaozhang was stunned.

Looks like my problem...

That's right... Ran a... Who else could it be if it wasn't me?

"Maybe the transaction partner hasn't come yet, and it doesn't have to..."Xu Xiaozhang defended in a low voice.

"Your Excellency..."Xie Yu became serious. "The situation is urgent, please also unlock Yu's acupoint. ”

"One last question. Xu Xiaozhang has no confidence. "After answering the last question, I'll let you go. ”

Xie Yu took a deep breath, and the stone in his heart finally landed.

"Please. Xie Yu replied.

"Can you take me with you when you catch Na Luoli?" Xu Xiaozhang put on a serious face. "Truth be told, my knife was stuck in him. ”

Xie Yu: "..."
