The sky was slightly bright, and in the helm of the Loyalty and Righteousness League, Xue Youyou was standing in the study where Zuo Yusong had been assassinated, looking at Gu Ning, the master of Xingyun Hall, who had just returned from outside, with a gloomy face.

After a while, she asked, "Are you sure that the person who gave you the antidote to the fragrance of your clothes is the murderer who killed the leader of the Left Vice Alliance?"

"The subordinates are confirmed. Because at that time, he was still wearing the night clothes of my Xingyuntang, which must have been ripped off from the body of Group A No. 96 who was killed by him. And he should have infiltrated the helm in the clothes of this Xingyuntang and assassinated the left deputy alliance leader and the six personal guards. ”

Gu Ning said through gritted teeth, while secretly regretting in his heart that in order to save his life, he had reached a disgraceful deal with this person who killed the leader of the Left Deputy Alliance!

Xue Youyu groaned, "Your guess should be good. According to the guards at the gate, there was indeed a person wearing the night clothes of Xingyuntang who entered the main rudder alone with a waist card last night.

However, this Xingyuntang's clothes and waist card can only allow him to enter the gate of the helm, and if you want to get close to the residence of the left deputy alliance master, you still need to have the hall master's ebony card. And how did the Assassin get that hall master's ebony card?"

"Alliance Master, that hall master's ebony card belongs to him. The subordinate was ordered to snipe and kill a Tianxiang Sectist in the city, and sent No. 96 of Group A in the hall back to the helm to present the head of the Tianxiang Sect to the left deputy alliance leader for resumption, so he handed over his ebony card to him at that time. ”

"In this way, the assassin has been eyeing you early on, which is why he thought of impersonating your subordinates to give the head of the Left Vice-Alliance. ”

And so it is. The Assassin must have been hiding in the Yuelai Inn before we arrived, and was keeping an eye on the Celestial Fragrance Cultist. That day, the incense cultists planted poison in front of the window, which should have been seen by him a long time ago. That's why he deliberately led me in and caused me to fall to the ground, and he took the opportunity to catch up with the man I had sent to deliver the head. ”

Xue Youyou nodded, "Your analysis is indeed reasonable. But why did this assassin return to the Yuelai Inn after killing the Left Deputy Alliance Master? What's even more strange is that instead of killing you, who is still sitting there waiting to be killed, he actually detoxified you. What is the purpose of this move?"

Gu Ning's face couldn't help but flash a strange look, thinking of the transaction that the man had made with him, especially the words he said in his ear before leaving-"Zuo Yusong told me before he died that Shen Qingluo was from the north. ”

All of this must not be known to the Snow Alliance Lord in front of him, who has always been ruthless and vicious. Otherwise, it is not certain whether he Gu Ning's own life can be saved in the end, but Shen Qingluo's life must not be saved.

Gu Ning really regretted it at this time!

Before, his mind had been occupied by the mystery of Zuo Yusong's death and Shen Qingluo's identity, and he had forgotten to make up a plausible story in advance to perfunctory Xue Youyou.

Now that he was questioned by Xue Youyou, he didn't have time to think about it, so he had to casually excuse himself: "That person didn't say a word from beginning to end, just threw the antidote in front of me, and left immediately. Therefore, his subordinates can't guess what his intentions are. ”

If his flawed lie was heard by Han Bing, he would definitely burst into laughter. It's a pity that the shrewdness and ability of this king of killers are used in how to kill people, and he is really not good at lying and deceiving people!

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Ning's words came out, they aroused Xue Youyou's suspicion of him-

This Gu Ning is the master of Xingyun Hall, his methods are ruthless, and his mind is shrewd. Such a person will not have any friends, but only enemies.

The Assassin took the initiative to deliver him the antidote, presumably not out of good intentions, but for an extraordinary purpose. Keeping Gu Ning alive must have some kind of unknown benefit for him. Therefore, he saved Gu Ning, most likely because he wanted to use him.

But Gu Ning is definitely not a person who will be used in a daze. He must have known very well in his heart the Assassin's true purpose in saving him. Now looking at his untruthful appearance in front of him, he should have made up his mind to let that person take advantage of him.

It seems that some kind of ulterior bargain must have been made between him and the Assassin.

Since he has such suspicions, Xue Youyou, who has always been strong and domineering, will naturally not let it go easily, and must ask clearly.

"Since you don't know the Assassin's intentions, how dare you take the antidote he gave you so easily?"

Gu Ning was thinking about how to continue his lie at this time, but he didn't notice the slightest change in Xue Youyou's attitude.

Hearing Xue Youyou's question, he explained in as much detail as possible: "After killing that Tianxiang Sectist, his subordinates once turned out many pills and medicinal powders and other things from his body, among which was the antidote to the fragrance of clothes.

At the time, I didn't fully understand the usefulness of those things, so I asked my men to present them to the Left Vice-Alliance Leader along with the head in the wooden box. Thinking that after the assassin robbed the things halfway, he just threw the head in the room of the left deputy alliance leader, but kept the pills and powder for himself.

So when I saw that the antidote he gave me was the one on the Heavenly Fragrance Sect, I didn't doubt the authenticity of the antidote. Besides, the Assassin could have taken my life at will, and there was no need to kill me with poison. ”

Gu Ning thought that her explanation could be said to be both detailed and reasonable, but after listening to it, Xue Youyou's suspicions about him not only did not disappear at all, but became even more suspicious.

"So, not only does the assassin know that you've been spilled, but he can also tell which of those pills and powders is the antidote to it?"

"This—"

Gu Ning really didn't know how to answer now.

In order to protect himself just now, and even more so to protect Shen Qingluo, he didn't even think about it, so he lied to Xue Youyou, saying that the assassin didn't say anything. And now, of course, he couldn't slap himself in the face anymore and tell him about the antidote he had identified with the Assassin.

However, if at this moment, he echoed Xue Youyou's statement and blamed the antidote on the assassin, but it was completely inconsistent with the facts. In this way, it is likely to mislead Xue Yuyu and make her make a wrong judgment.

Seeing all of Gu Ning's hesitation in his eyes, Xue Youyou couldn't help but sneer secretly.

It seems that this Xingyun Hall Master Gu Ning is also the same as that Shunfeng Hall Master Shen Qingluo, who has never taken her as an alliance leader in his eyes, so he will be so unscrupulous and perfunctory in person, and even deceive her!

At this time, Gu Ning finally thought of a suitable explanation, and told Xue Youyou a lie that was not too outrageous.

"In fact, the Assassin probably didn't know what poison I had been poisoned in, he just left me everything that was on the Heavenly Fragrance Cultist. It was I who recognized the antidote to the scent of clothes and took it. ”

Xue Youyou looked at Gu Ning for a long time, but she also lost interest in continuing to ask. Because his words do not sound obvious. Since Shen Qingluo had an antidote to the fragrance of clothes, it was not strange that Gu Ning could recognize it.

Although Xue Youyou has always been not very concerned about the specific affairs of the Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance, there is such an ambiguity between the two hall masters of Xingyun Hall and Shunfeng Hall, even if she doesn't specifically inquire, there will always be people rushing to her ear to talk about it.

Gu Ning didn't expect that the matter between herself and Shen Qingluo had been known to Xue Youyou. Now seeing her looking at him with a deep face, he thought that she was skeptical that she could recognize the antidote to the fragrance of clothes, and suddenly felt an inexplicable panic and uneasiness.

At the same time, he actually had a helpless admiration for the person who had put him in such an embarrassing situation.

That parting arrow is really powerful!

He was able to silently infiltrate the general rudder of the Loyal and Righteous Alliance, and did the earth-shattering act of killing the deputy alliance leader Zuo Yusong. And the discordant trick he used to deal with himself made it even more wonderful!

He didn't kill himself, not only did he get the promise he wanted, but the intention of what he said before leaving was also very obvious, he just wanted to use himself to deal with Shen Qingluo.

In this way, he actually knew the relationship between himself and Shen Qingluo well. Could it be that this is what Zuo Yusong told him?

- So he had already calculated that he didn't dare to confide the truth to Xue Youyou.

So, with only a small antidote to the fragrance of clothes, he easily pushed himself, the master of Xingyun Hall, into the list of suspects, making himself unable to defend himself in front of Xue Youyou, and he had nowhere to complain about his suffering.

In this way, Xue Youyou will no longer trust him, the master of the Xingyun Hall. And he will not be like Zuo Yusong, and then obey Xue Youyou.

As for the other hall masters who were already loyal to Zuo Yusong, they would not buy her account as the so-called alliance leader.

It seems that from now on, without Zuo Yusong's Loyal and Righteous Alliance, I am afraid that it will soon become a plate of scattered sand. This eagle dog of the court is also like being stripped of its muscles and bones, and it can no longer be majestic.

Thinking of this, Gu Ning didn't know what kind of feeling he had in his heart, a little lost, and seemed to have a trace of inexplicable relief......
