Chapter Eighty-Three: Boating on the Ming Lake
Mr. Qi fell.
Until he died, he didn't know how he died.
Next to his fallen corpse, Jiang Yuhuo slowly inserted the sword in his hand back into the scabbard.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
Yu Xiaoyao silently looked at Mr. Qi who fell to the ground, Mr. Qi's eyes were wide open, but he had lost his luster.
He didn't know how to answer Jiang Yuhuo, saying that he was fine? There were four corpses on the top floor, all with blood in the wind, could this be considered good?
And his old friend, that bastard and cute Mr. Qi, who just wants to break with the past and find a place to be a real teacher, and live for the rest of his life. But Mr. Qi fell in front of him, and those eyes that refused to blink were still staring at him.
Is that good?
Yu Xiaoyao knew that he had no reason to blame Jiang Yuhuo, after all, it was Hua Liulang, Lion Liu, and Mr. Qi who murdered Xu Sanying together, King De said this, and Hua Liulang also admitted it. Jiang Yuhuo killed Mr. Qi for revenge, and Yu Xiaoyao had no reason to accuse him of not.
So he just shook his head slightly, walked past Jiang Yuhuo, and walked down the stairs by himself.
"Wait. Jiang Yuhuo stopped him from behind, "Did King De tell you anything, or give you something?"
Yu Xiaoyao stopped, he turned his head and looked directly into Jiang Yuhuo's eyes.
"Nope. He said.
With that, he turned around and walked down the stairs.
Before he died, King De said a very strange thing to him.
"Watch out for Iron Fall. ”
Tie Qiuchen said that King De was the owner of the blood lion, but King De told him to be careful of Tie Qiuchen. He could vaguely feel that there must be some conspiracy hidden in this.
Is it the conspiracy of King De, or is it the conspiracy of Tie Qiuji?
What did King De want to tell him when he asked him to meet here today? King De admitted that there was indeed a connection between himself and the Blood Jade Lion, so what was the connection? This red tent was given to King De by Xu Sanying, or was it snatched by King De from Xu Sanying? Why did King De give him this account book?
After a pause, he suddenly thought of something.
Is there any connection between King De handing over the red tent to him and asking him to be careful of the iron autumn marks?
At this moment of his epiphany, Jiang Yuhuo had already caught up, "Where are you going?" he asked.
Yu Xiaoyao said, "Go to a place where there is no one." ”
Jiang Yuhuo was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What are you going to do?"
Yu Xiaoyao said, "Go find someone." ”
This sentence is not only self-contradictory, but also illogical, if there is no one in the place where he is going, how can he find someone?
Jiang Yuhuo said, "King De is dead, I'm going to find Brother Tie, do you want to come together?"
Yu Xiaoyao said, "Since King De is dead, Tie Qiuji should be able to come back soon, whether he goes to find it or not, it's all the same." ”
Jiang Yuhuo nodded and said, "I hope it's as you said." ”
Yu Xiaoyao looked at him, and suddenly said, "Is all this also in your plan?"
"What?" Jiang Yuhuo was stunned.
"You know what I'm talking about. Yu Xiaoyao said, "Are all the people who died on the top floor in your plan?"
Jiang Yuhuo said: "Wasn't the original plan to let them fight each other?"
"But what if King De is not the owner of the blood lion?" said Yu Xiaoyao.
"What do you mean by that?" Jiang Yuhuo was stunned.
Yu Xiaoyao said, "How did you know that King De is the owner of the Blood Lion?"
Jiang Yuhuo said, "It was Brother Tie Qiuji who told me, he personally found out, can there be a fake?"
Yu Xiaoyao said, "Then what if Tie Qiuji is telling a lie?"
"I... I've never thought of it that way..." Jiang Yuhuo's voice became lower and lower, "Brother Tie won't lie to me, no." ”
Yu Xiaoyao sighed and said, "If you want to know the truth or falsehood, we'd better go and ask Tie Qiuji together." ”
Jiang Yuhuo said, "Okay, let's go now!"
"Not yet. "You forgot, now I'm going to the place where no one is around." ”
He returned to Daming Lake, to the place where the boat was rented.
The small boat he took yesterday was still there, and the little old man who rented the boat was still there, and when the little old man saw him, he came up and said hello lukewarmly, "Childe, do you want to rent a boat?"
Yu Xiaoyao said, "Not only to rent a boat, but also to rent a rower." ”
The little old man smiled and said, "The boat can be rented, but my people don't rent it." ”
Yu Xiaoyao looked at him and said, "Don't rent the silver?"
The little old man said, "I don't rent the gold." ”
When he met such a businessman, if he changed to someone else, he was afraid that he would be angry, but Yu Xiaoyao could still laugh, he was not only laughing, but also laughing very happily.
"I knew it had to be you. Yu Xiaoyao said.
Of course, the little old man was pretending to be Feng Lilong, Yu Xiaoyao saw through his disguise, not only was he not angry, but he was also very happy, "How did you see through me this time?" he asked.
Yu Xiaoyao said, "Because I resisted a corpse on his ship just yesterday, how can he be so calm when he saw me today?"
Feng Lilong said proudly, "It turns out that you see it like this, I am different, I only need to look at it to see the truth and falsehood." ”
Jade Xiaoyao raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "Do you know how to row?" he asked.
Feng Lilong said righteously, "No!"
The oars in Yu Xiaoyao's hand were against the shore and pushed the boat away from the shore. The clear waves are rippling, the spring breeze is gentle, and they are fluttering, drifting towards the center of the lake.
This is where he said that there was no one, because in this small boat, there was indeed no one left except for him to follow the wind and leave the dragon.
It wasn't until the ship was far from the shore that Yu Xiaoyao put down the oars in his hand and asked, "How?"
Feng Lilong said, "You guessed right, it's indeed fake. ”
"Are you sure?" asked Yu Xiaoyao.
Feng Lilong said proudly, "In this regard, I am an ancestor, since I said that he is fake, he must be fake." ”
Yu Xiaoyao sighed softly and said, "I understand. He smiled and patted Feng Lilong's shoulder, "I'll definitely invite you to drink another day." ”
Now, there was one more thing he needed to figure out.
He pulled the red tent out of his bosom and placed it on his lap.
Feng Lilong asked, "This is?"
Yu Xiaoyao said, "I can't tell you what this is now, and you haven't seen this yet, understand?"
Feng Lilong smiled, "It's your brain-screwing thing again, then you see, I've been busy all night, and now I'm going to sleep for a while." ”
He lay in the cabin like this, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Yu Xiaoyao flipped open the ledger in his hand, and with the flip of his fingers, a dark secret slowly surfaced.
