Long Shaotian turned his head and said with a displeased expression: "What else do you want to say from the seniors?"

The Dongfang Emperor paused, and the color on his face was obviously not very good-looking. It is no wonder that with his identity, he can be regarded as a person at the level of reverence in the rivers and lakes, and a junior is so rude to him, how can he have a good face? However, he doesn't seem to want to turn his face yet, but he is no longer polite when he speaks, and said: "Regarding the use of the two of you, there is indeed something wrong with the old man, and I am here to accompany the two of you! However, it was you who wanted to go up the mountain yourself, and the old man did not have the obligation to inform you of the situation on the mountain!" Besides, even if the old man prevents you from going up the mountain, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay out of it. ”

Long Shaotian looked serious and said, "The predecessor said that sword?"

The corners of the Dongfang Emperor's eyebrows swept away, and he said: "That's right! There are not many people in the rivers and lakes who make that kind of short sword, and there are even fewer people who can make the sword people kill the leader of the beggar gang, with the power of the beggar gang, it must not be difficult to track down the owner of the beggar's sword!"

Long Shaotian said coldly: "This means that someone wanted to blame us for this incident from the beginning?"

The Eastern Emperor beggar said: "That's right!"

Long Shaotian thought for a while and said, "I really can't think of what purpose they have for doing this. ”

The corners of the Dongfang Emperor's mouth raised slightly, and he said, "So the old man, please help me find out the truth together!"

Long Shaotian glanced at Xiao Ling, and then said, "I'm afraid I can't do anything about this!"

The Eastern Emperor was obviously surprised, and said, "Don't you want to find out who framed you so much?"

Long Shaotian said: "I don't want to!"

Dongfang Emperor didn't expect Long Shaotian to refuse so simply, which obviously made him scratch his head. True. Who would carry the black cauldron for someone and still don't want to know who the person who carried the black cauldron for him? Not to mention that the person who was killed was still the leader of the beggar gang, and if he took on this debt, no matter who he was, I am afraid that it will be difficult to live a peaceful life in the future.

But why didn't Long Shaotian want to find out the real culprit? He has always been the kind of virtuous person who repays virtue. There are people who complain, but why have they become so magnanimous this time?

However, the Eastern Emperor beggar refused to give up, and said, "Do you know what it means to be charged with killing the leader of the beggar gang?"

His words seemed to be threatening, but how could Long Shaotian eat him, and said, "It doesn't matter what the crime is! But there is one thing, if someone wants to come to find trouble." I, Long Shaotian, will accompany me to the end! Also, if anyone dares to hurt a single hair of anyone around me, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword!" Then he said to Xiaoling: "Girl, let's go!"

Things changed a little suddenly, and the conversation that had just been very good took a turn for the worse. Seeing that the situation was not right, Xiao Ling hurriedly followed.

The Eastern Emperor had no choice but to watch them go. The most reluctant said loudly behind his back: "If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time!"

Soon, the two walked out of the woods. The beggars seemed to be still searching for them, as they could still see a little fire moving through the mountains.

Xiao Ling didn't say a word until she walked out of the mountain, and then asked, "Is that old man a very powerful person?"

Long Shaotian said: "I only know that Lu Dao's martial arts have reached the peak ten years ago, and now he is a legendary-level figure in the rivers and lakes." ”

Xiao Ling was surprised: "You dare to offend such a powerful character?"

Long Shaotian looked serious and said, "That's no way." But don't worry, even if he wants to be our enemy. I'll protect you too. ！”

With Xiao Suzu's character, if it were a normal person, he would definitely be very unconvinced and say, 'Who wants you to protect it!'. can think of the scene on the mountain just now, if it weren't for Long Shaotian's quick move, I'm afraid that she would have been captured a long time ago. And Long Shaotian was also a little injured for this, although Long Shaotian didn't show that he was injured, but she knew that it was just for her to see, maybe she didn't want her to worry.

So I don't know if it's out of guilt or admitting the lack of her ability, Xiao Ling, who is usually high-spirited, actually squirmed and said: "Protect yourself first." ”

It's a pity that her voice was too small, and Long Shaotian didn't hear what she said at all, so he asked again.

Xiao Ling said: "It's nothing!"

Long Shaotian looked at Xiao Ling and always felt that something was wrong with her. In fact, since Miaoling Mountain came back, I feel that Xiaoling is not the same as before. Maybe it was just a delusion on his part, because a closer look didn't make a difference. Perhaps, she has indeed undergone some slight changes in the past six months, and who can guarantee that it will never change?

Xiao Ling said again: "Why are you willing to help him find out the real murderer, if you can find out the real murderer, wouldn't it be beneficial to us?"

Long Shaotian said: "Things may not be as simple as imagined!"

Xiao Ling was puzzled and said, "Is there any conspiracy in it?"

Long Shaotian said: "That's not enough, but there must be an inside story that we don't know about the Dao! That person may not have said everything, think about it, with his status in the Beggar Gang, if he really wants to clear our name, just say a word in front of the disciples of the Beggar Gang." And he used this to threaten us, nothing more than to kidnap us in this matter. ”

Xiao Ling said indignantly: "I didn't expect this old man to be so insidious!"

Long Shaotian smiled: "This is just my guess!"

Xiao Ling looked a little excited, and said: "Maybe the real murderer is that old man! He may not be as powerful as the legend, I'm afraid that one person can't deal with us, so he will try his best to deceive us, and then use the power of the beggar gang to wipe us out!"

Long Shaotian said: "What you said is not impossible. Let me ask you, do you want to find out the real culprit?"

It stands to reason that Suzu should not hesitate to answer 'yes!', because for her curiosity, this kind of thing will never be let go, not to mention that the person who died was her grandfather. Not to mention how much family affection they have, just based on this relationship, it is natural to find out the real culprit.

But that's not the case, Suzu's answer is: "I don't want to!"

Although Long Shaotian was a little surprised by Xiao Ling's answer, he didn't ask the reason and said, "Then let's go back!"

Suzu nodded.

When I go back, I naturally go back to Wanfu Villa. For Long Shaotian, there is no place he wants to go back to more than Wanfu Villa. And now, this desire is even stronger.

When he went out, Haruka also told him to go early and return early, and not to let her wait too long at home. Haruka may be afraid that he will never come back, but his heart strongly tells himself that he will never disappear a second time!

He was tired of strife, and now he was even more tired of it. It doesn't matter to him what fame and fortune he chases, what justice he upholds, or what hatred he resolves. The only thing he wants to do is to be by his relatives' side, so that they can live each day in peace and happiness.

However, this was only wishful thinking on his part, for he felt that the things that were no longer important were what most of the people in the rivers and lakes were pursuing, and that whoever stood in the way of their pursuit would regard him as an enemy. And perhaps just because you are a stumbling block on someone else's path to 'success', they will try to get rid of you. Therefore, even for self-preservation, he has to passively be involved in this whirlpool.

When I returned to the city again, it was already dawn. Because it was still early, there were few people walking around the streets, and most of the people who went out early were traveling merchants. Long Shaotian and Xiaoling walked into an inn that had just opened, and the shopkeeper saw that there was business coming to the door early in the morning, and naturally Le's mouth couldn't close, so he hurriedly came to the shop to greet the two.

Long Shaotian asked for an upper room, plus two catties of steamed buns and a few side dishes, and after running around for a night, they really needed to rest. But why did Long Shaotian only need one room? It was in this room that Xiao Ling asked this question, and he was obviously a little embarrassed when he asked this question.

Long Shaotian said: "Isn't one room enough?" ”

Xiao Ling said: "What, don't you know that men and women can't accept it?"

Long Shaotian smiled and said, "What are you thinking about, you girl, haven't you noticed? We've been followed." ”

Xiao Ling glared at Long Shaotian with a disbelieving expression, and said, "Really?

Long Shaotian said: "Then I can't let you stay in a room alone." ”

This was originally a very warm word, but Xiao Ling was a little angry when she heard it, and said, "You always think that you are very powerful, don't you?

Long Shaotian didn't understand why Xiao Ling suddenly became angry, but explained: "I didn't feel that I was very powerful, but I felt very powerless everywhere." But I don't want to see anything happen to you, so I don't want to take any risk, anything that might put you in harm's way. ”

Long Shaotian's explanation did not satisfy Xiao Ling, because her emotions became more excited, and said: "You don't want to see me have an accident, do I just want to see you have an accident? You don't want me to be in danger, but you yourself are always dealing with danger! Of course I know that you want to protect me, but have you ever thought about protecting yourself? Have you ever thought about what we should do if you have three long and two short?" Xiao Ling said as she spoke, tears were about to fall.

Long Shaotian really didn't expect Xiao Ling to say such a thing. But he finally knew what he did to feel that this girl was different from before, because she was no longer the ignorant little girl she used to be.

Long Shaotian touched Xiaoling's head and comforted: "Don't worry, I know how to protect myself." You don't want to think about it, if something happens to me, how can I feel at ease and leave such a lovely girl alone!"

Xiao Ling burst into tears and smiled: "You still have vision!"

Long Shaotian said: "You go and rest first, we will have to hurry in a while." ”

Xiao Ling said, "What about you?"

Long Shaotian said: "I'll go out to see the situation." ”

Xiaoling grabbed the corner of Long Shaotian's clothes and said, "But remember what I just said, don't mess around." ”

Long Shaotian smiled: "Don't worry!" (to be continued......)
