Chapter 292: A Hundred Poisoners Outside Bianjing City (1)
Although Shen Guhong had already left the inn, he did not go far, and he could naturally hear Yang Qi's words. At that moment, the vicissitudes of life flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself: "You only see the bright surface, but you don't know the many unbearable and painful hidden underneath, if I can never do it again, will I still embark on such a way of life?"
Shen Guhong's words, naturally no one could answer, not even himself. After all, what happens in this world is what happens, and there won't be so many ifs or yeses. Even if there were, there are some things that you don't have to choose.
Back in Koufu, Mifang has not rested. Seeing Shen Guhong returning, she stopped the needlework in her hand, boiled some hot water, and said, "Rest early, it's been a busy day!"
"What about you, what are you doing?" Shen Guhong looked towards the table in front of him, only to see a mandarin duck embroidered on a piece of fine cloth, he knew that this embroidery must be a pair, and immediately smiled: "I haven't seen you do this before, but I didn't expect it to be so good." ”
Mi Fang smiled: "I really forgot to tell you, I didn't know this thing when I went to Dakuang Mountain." It's just that you didn't have a chance to do it later, so you didn't see it!"
"It turns out that this ingenuity is innate, and he has done very well since he was a child, I have seen many girls who can fight and kill, but I have never seen a girl who has a good reputation for my family!"
Mi Fang pursed her lips and smiled, "Go and soak your feet and rest!"
"You also rest early!" Shen Guhong said, and returned to his room. After washing his face, he soaked his feet for a while, and when he poured water, he saw that the lights were still on in Mi Fang's house, he knew Mi Fang's temperament, and he didn't say anything at the moment, just lay on the bed and fell asleep.
A scientific examination, but a case of several lives, no matter what, the examination officially started today.
Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie were not idle, and sent a roster to Xiaolong today, listing the names of all the people who have been in and out in the recent days.
"This Xiang Xiaolong, he really has some skills!" Shen Guhong flipped through the booklet and couldn't help but praise.
Wen Yongjie said with a smile: "Now your reputation as a magic arrow boy is quite easy to use in the rivers and lakes!"
Shen Guhong said with a smile: "Don't be poor, hurry up and check it, otherwise we won't be able to make a difference!"
The two of them went through all the booklets, and Shen Guhong unexpectedly found that one of the caravans was from the northern Liao Kingdom. Shen Guhong would notice this caravan from the Liao State, it was because the envoys of the Liao State that Kou Zhun had mentioned to him were about to arrive, and at this time he couldn't help but think carefully: "Will this caravan have anything to do with those Liao State envoys?"
"What are you talking about?" Wen Yongjie couldn't help asking.
Shen Guhong knew that the matter of the envoys of the Liao State was not trivial, but Wen Yongjie could trust him, so he simply told him the ins and outs of the matter. Wen Yongjie frowned slightly when he heard this, and said: "The Liao Kingdom harbors evil intentions, this is a matter known to the world, why does the Holy Lord still decide like this, this is really incredible!"
Shen Guhong said: "It seems that we have found an opportunity to go to this Bafang Inn!"
Wen Yongjie said: "This reason is still easy to find, you can eat and drink." ”
Shen Guhong said with a smile: "You know the special nature of the Bafang Inn, I'm afraid that going to eat and drink often will also arouse suspicion." By the way, did you take out some of the poison from those corpses?"
Wen Yongjie said: "Starting with that kind of poison, it is naturally a good way, of course I kept some, but we don't know this poison, and it is not easy to investigate!"
Shen Guhong smiled: "Last time, I asked Xiaolong to invite us to drink, this time it's time to change us!"
"That's right, why didn't I think of it? Xiang Xiaolong's path is wide, maybe someone really knows this poison!" Wen Yongjie said.
"As long as we recognize this poison and know where it comes from, maybe we won't be far from the day when we will solve the case!" Shen Guhong said.
Wen Yongjie said: "You have a treat this time?"
Shen Guhong smiled: "Okay, I'll keep some silver for you to marry your daughter-in-law, I'll invite you today!"
"Good boy, you actually teased me!" Wen Yongjie scolded with a smile and walked with Shen Guhong in the direction of Overlord Village.
"By the way, today is the second day of the exam, I don't know who the champion will be this time!" Wen Yongjie said suddenly.
Shen Guhong knew that among the current group of students, the champion should be produced between Qu Wenjun and Duan Jing, of course, this is not an accident. Someone can spread rumors outside, Kou Zhun has a relationship to get the test questions, maybe someone can really get it. This is the way of the world, there is no such thing as fairness at all.
"It doesn't matter who he is, let's not take the test!" Shen Guhong said casually. Of course, he didn't care at all.
Wen Yongjie said: "I just sighed because of the dead people, and the rest of the things really have little to do with you and me." ”
"Hey, it seems that this Overlord Village is also very lively today!" Wen Yongjie couldn't help but be surprised.
Shen Guhong listened to the noise coming from inside, approached closer, and looked through the crack in the door, but saw that many people inside were gathered in a circle, as if someone was fighting in the ring.
"Please inform, Shen Guhong is visiting!" The people guarding the door today are not the people from last time, because they don't know Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie, but the reputation of Shen Guhong, the son of the Divine Arrow, is still extremely loud in Bianjing. When the doorkeeper was shocked, he had already turned around and walked inside.
"Brother Shen, Wen Zhutou is here!" Xiang Xiaolong's bold voice came out, and the door opened, only to see him and several people come out together. But the applause and applause inside did not stop, and it was obvious that the competition inside was going on.
"Brother Xiang, it's so lively!" Shen Guhong said with a smile.
Xiang Xiaolong heard Shen Guhong's words, but his face couldn't help but turn red, and the people next to him also showed anger. Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie are both good at observing words and colors, and they can naturally see that Xiang Xiaolong is facing a predicament at the moment.
"Don't mention it, please inside!" Xiang Xiaolong was a little dejected. Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie followed in, only to see clearly that a big man was fighting with a girl. That big man is the second-in-command of Bawangzhuang, named Lu Feng. The person who can sit in the second place in Bawangzhuang has two martial arts, but it seems that the woman is better.
When Shen Guhong saw the woman's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, because this woman was none other than Xiao Rin's sister Xiao Sese, whom he met when he went to the desert.
This was almost two years ago, and after leaving the desert, he had visited Lanzhou when he passed there. did not find the Lanzhou Xiao family that Xiao Rin said, at that time he just thought that Xiao Rin used a fake name. A person who uses a fake name to make friends either has a last resort or wants to hide something. After not seeing each other for more than two years, he almost forgot about these two siblings, but he never thought that he would see Xiao Rin's sister Xiao Sese in Bawangzhuang today.
Although Xiao Feng's martial arts are not weak, he is only a second- or third-rate master, if it weren't for Xiao Sese's many battles, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to move more than thirty moves under Xiao Sese. When a hundred moves passed, the blade was already defeated and invincible.
"Brother Xiang, can you tell me what's going on?" asked Shen Guhong.
Although Xiang Xiaolong was a little embarrassed to speak, he still said it after all. It turned out that this Xiao Se Se came to Bawangzhuang this morning, and directly picked out that he wanted to compete with Xiang Xiaolong, and if Xiang Xiaolong lost, he would be her subordinate in the future.
Xiang Xiaolong's martial arts barely squeezed into the realm of first-class masters, but it was not strong, just because he was bold and respected, and he was respected by the characters in black and white. Xiang Xiaolong has seen a lot of people with strong martial arts, no one would say that he wants to be his subordinate, a red-haired girl is so rampant, he is naturally a little angry. immediately made a bet with Xiao Sese, as long as Xiao Sese welcomed ten competitions, he would be Xiao Sese's subordinate.
Since the morning, the people of Bawangzhuang have been busy until noon to get the ring ready. After lunch, Xiao Sese walked directly to the ring to accept the challenge, and his arrogance was truly indescribable.
So far, it is the ninth game in the ring. If the front is defeated again, this last game will also be Xiang Xiaolong's turn.
Shen Guhong said with a smile: "This little witch actually came to Overlord Zhuang arrogantly, don't be afraid, I'll solve it for Brother Xiang!"
Xiang Xiaolong can win the respect of people in black and white on the rivers and lakes, and the most important thing is that he is full of words. Although he was a little frustrated at the moment, he still refused: "Brother Shen's kindness, I understand it, but the eldest husband is out of his word, and the horse is difficult to chase, although this Xiao girl is arrogant, but she is also an honest person, she is a woman, she can still be like this, I am a big man, how can I be a fool? Even if I am her subordinate, I have no regrets!"
Shen Guhong knew that although Xiao Se Se was a little arrogant, but she was not a person looking for trouble everywhere, there must be something strange here that he didn't know, and her identity was unknown, how could Shen Guhong let the Overlord Village fall into his hands?
To be honest, Xiang Xiaolong would be frustrated, that was also because he saw that he was not Xiao Sese's opponent, and when he heard Shen Guhong's words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "If it is really as Brother Shen said, you help me with the favor of Overlord Zhuang today, if there is anything useful in the future, you can just ask." ”
Shen Guhong smiled faintly and said, "Look at me!"
Before Shen Guhong finished speaking, his body had already swept out and landed in the ring. At that moment, I saw that between his strength and his palms, he suddenly spit out two bursts of energy, shaking Xiao Sese and Xiao Feng back a few steps.
"Two, stop!" Shen Guhong looked at Xiao Se with a smile and was not afraid that Xiao Se would continue to make a move, but he was afraid that Xiao Se would be unreasonable, and the qi machine would lock her at the moment, so that she would not dare to act rashly.
Xiao Sese saw that it was Shen Guhong, and couldn't help but say happily: "It's you, Brother Shen!"
Shen Guhong knew her temperament, and it was the most dangerous when she greeted her with a smile, and although she withdrew her qi at the moment, she secretly kept her hand. Of course, Shen Guhong was also waiting for her to make another move, so that he would have a reason to subdue her.
"It's me, your eldest brother, has he also come to Bianjing?" Shen Guhong said.
