Chapter 169: Selling Yourself and Taking Refuge (2)

Suddenly hearing Gong Yan mention Xiao Yu, Zheng Yong's face couldn't help but sink slightly, and even the old scar on his left thigh throbbed slightly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xiao Yu! That goddamn little bastard! A blind waste was so cunning and cunning, planted an ambush in advance, lured him to the bait, and then secretly attacked, almost killing him! Fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly and escaped in time.

However, although his life was saved, the sword in his leg made him lie on the bed for a whole month!

"Isn't Xiao Yu's thief already dead, and how can this matter have anything to do with him?"

Obviously hearing the anger and displeasure in Gonggong Zheng's words, Gong Yan's heart was greatly distressed, but it was a pity that the sword was not stabbed on this filthy dog eunuch by himself!

But at this time, he pretended to know nothing about that matter, and still replied with great respect: "This matter does have something to do with that Xiao Yu. At the beginning, he was arrested by the Lord of the Snow Alliance and locked up in the secret room of the Xiuyun Sword Sect.

In order to save him, his accomplices adopted the strategy of attacking the west, and took the opportunity of the gathering of the helmsmen of the Loyalty League to intercept and kill several helmsmen on the return journey.

Presumably due to lack of manpower, they actually hired people from the Broken Sword Pavilion, a very famous killer organization at that time, to intercept and kill Chen Yingcheng, the helmsman of Jingzhou on the North Road.

As a result, when the people of the Broken Sword Pavilion were fighting with Chen Yingcheng, they were discovered by Shui Xinying, who went to rescue Chen Yingcheng, that the people of the Broken Sword Pavilion were actually the martial arts of the northerners. Moreover, Shui Xinying also identified that the masked assassin led by him was Gong Yu Sarong, the deputy pavilion master of the Broken Sword Pavilion. ”

Zheng Yong squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Oh, our family remembers! That night, the Chiyang Sect Leader Duxiaoqiong once said to Xue Youyou that he was seeking revenge against Xiao Yu for his apprentice, and he must be referring to that Gongyu Sassa." ”

And so it is. In that operation to intercept and kill Chen Yingcheng, Gongyu Sarong was pierced through the chest by Shui Xinying with a sword and almost lost his life. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

Zheng Yong nodded slowly, but he was thinking in his heart, in this way, this Gong Yan is not only the brother of Gongyu Sarong, but also the apprentice of the Chiyang Sect Leader Duxiaoqiong!

Well, that alone gives him a reason to continue living. With him in hand, he may be able to make a good deal with Duxiaoqiong or even the emperor of the northerners in the future.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yong's face couldn't help but show a faint smile.

In fact, this is the real purpose of his previous series of questions - that is, to find out the true identity of Gong Yan, so that he can use it in the future.

He secretly suppressed the pride in his heart, and followed an extremely important news mentioned in Fang Cai Gongyan's words: "But our family remembers that the report submitted by the Loyalty and Righteousness League at that time said that the attackers were all northerners, so it was inferred that the northerners wanted to invade the south.

And in the end, the facts proved that their message was correct. Why do you now say that the interception and killing incident was committed by Xiao Yu's people? What's so strange about this?"

Gong Yan sighed and said, "Father-in-law, you don't know, this is exactly what Xiao Yu is so powerful! This plan he set up not only hit the power of the Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance, but also created a chance for himself to escape, and the most important point is to blame it on the northerners." It's a great way to kill three birds with one stone!

On the surface, it seems that all the spearheads are pointed at the northerners, but after careful scrutiny, it is not difficult to find the flaws.

Just imagine, if the northerners really want to destroy the rudder of the northern part of the Loyal Alliance, they can completely ambush away from the main rudder of the Loyal Alliance, and they should concentrate all their manpower on the northern road.

In that case, even if the three Chen Yingcheng can't run, why would they end up being beaten by a chicken and an egg, and embarrassed?

Besides, if this matter wasn't a trick set up by Xiao Yu, how could Duxiaoqiong break into the mountain on a snowy night and have to take his life?"

Zheng Yong couldn't help but move in his heart when he heard this, and felt that Gong Yan's analysis was very reasonable. It seems that these northerners who have hidden great wealth do have a lot of information that even he, the chief administrator, does not know. Today, I just took the opportunity to ask more questions from Gong Yan's mouth, and maybe I would have unexpected help for my plan.

So he deliberately frowned and said, "You do have some truth in what you say. However, these are just your own speculations and have no real evidence. As for Duxiaoqiong's move to break into the mountain, although it was aimed at Xiao Yu, it also confirmed that the Broken Sword Pavilion was indeed an intelligence station set up by the northerners in Dayu.

And it was precisely because the Xiuyun Sword Sect exposed the major conspiracy of the northerners in time that the emperor did not overly investigate the matter of Xue Youyou's hiding Xiao Yu. Moreover, in the end, Xiao Yu, the initiator, was also shocked by Duxiao Qiong, and he was never lucky. Therefore, all these doubts you have are dead and unproven. ”

Hearing Zheng Yong say this, Gong Yan naturally didn't dare to argue with him, so he tried even harder to persuade him: "What my father-in-law said is extremely true. Although he was able to determine that all this was designed by Xiao Yu, he was struggling to find evidence, so he took the initiative to ask the leader of the Left Deputy Alliance for orders and went to the south to investigate the case of the parting arrow.

Because I have always had a feeling that the people who intercepted and killed the helmsman of the Loyal Alliance at the helm that day should be the same group of people who rescued Xue Youyou later under Duxiao Qiong's hands. Moreover, they must all be hermits. ”

"Well, you're right. The parting arrow should have come from the Tibetan Stream Valley, and Xiao Yu had also stayed in the Tibetan Stream Valley, so it must be an old acquaintance with the parting arrow. Tracking down the parting arrow, there is indeed a possibility of finding Xiao Yu's accomplices. The treacherous Zheng Yong said a few words of affirmation at the right time.

Gong Yan's face suddenly showed gratitude and admiration, and he said happily: "My father-in-law is really in Bole!

Although Gong Yan's flattery was extremely explicit, in the ears of Zheng Yong, who had long been accustomed to flattering others, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort.

He looked at Gong Yan with a smile while continuing to wrap his words: "The palace guards are quick-witted, which is why our family values you so much. It seems that you have gained a lot from tracking down the parting arrow this time!"

As my father-in-law expected, this time I not only found out the true identity of the parting arrow, but also discovered that his two accomplices were the ones who fought with Duxiaoqiong and saved Xue Youyou and Shui Xinying. ”

When Zheng Yong heard this, his eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, and he asked quietly: "So, you were there that night?"

With Gong Yan's scheming, he naturally immediately realized what Zheng Yong was thinking in his heart at this moment. He must have suspected that the embarrassed appearance he was injured by those two masked men was all in his eyes, and he dared to hide in the shadows all the time and stand by without helping!

In fact, Zheng Yong was indeed too suspicious! Gong Yan was only concerned about the safety of his master Duxiaoqiong at that time, and where did he care about the life and death of a dog eunuch? As for him knowing that Zheng Yong was injured, it was all after listening to Zuo Yusong.

Now listening to the old eunuch's question, Gong Yan was not half distracted, and only replied solemnly: "I arrived a little late, and I only saw Duxiaoqiong fighting with Xue Youyou's master and apprentice, and then the two masked men appeared, and the result was of course a defeat for both sides.

And Xia knew that his martial arts were low, so he really didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered by the Snow Alliance Lord and the two masked men, so as soon as he saw that the two sides had split the results, he sneaked down the mountain again.

I reported what I had seen to the Left Vice-Alliance, but because they were so far away at the time, and the two of them were masked, I couldn't really tell who they were. Now it seems that they should be Xiao Yu's subordinates, and there is no doubt that they are Yin people. ”

Gong Yan's words were frank, and Zheng Yong completely believed it. Because now that he thinks about it, when he went to chase Xiao Yu and them, he was ambushed and injured, and all this happened in a very short period of time. With Gong Yan's humble martial arts, even if he really kept chasing after him, I am afraid that when he arrives there, he will not see anything at all.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yong's expression relaxed, and after thinking about it, he continued to ask: "Since the people from the Xiuyun Sword Sect also appeared in the south this time, what contact do you find with the Yin people?"

Gong Yan naturally didn't dare to tell Shui Xinying and their escort of Gongyu Sarong, which made it difficult for him to justify himself, so he shook his head decisively and said: "On this trip to the south, I have never seen anyone from the Xiuyun Sword Sect in Xia, so I am even more puzzled and angry at them for those false accusations in Xia!"

Zheng Yong couldn't ask anything from Gong Yan's mouth for the time being, anyway, the future is long, and this self-righteous little fox can't escape from the palm of his hand.

So he stood up with a smile, walked in front of Gong Yan, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Now our family has understood your grievances, but if you want to finally prove your innocence, you still need to find solid evidence." You can stay in peace for a while, and our family will help you solve the problem!"

Gong Yan hurriedly showed a grateful look again, bowed down and said: "In this way, Gonggong Lao will have to worry about it! ”
