Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Human Heart Is Unfathomable
As if he was afraid that they would continue to ask, Lu Fang hurriedly changed the subject: "By the way, Qin Lan...... General, how's he?"
Hearing his question, an adjutant general walked out of the soldiers on the side, looking left and right with an anxious expression: "Yes, where is our general, he was captured by the rat demon before, didn't you rescue him?"
Lu Xiangyu couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking: What kind of general, if it weren't for this guy, they might have wiped out the rat demon a long time ago, where would there be so many things? The most infuriating thing is that all five of us almost died at the hands of this general!
"Hmph, it's better if you don't mention it, I'll be angry when I mention it......"
But before Lu Xiangyu finished speaking, Yun Xuan suddenly stood up and interrupted her, and said with a sad face: "Lord Adjutant General, I'm sorry, we failed to live up to your expectations and failed to bring General Qin Lan back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"What? Why, what happened to our general?"
Yun Xuan said: "Speaking of which, this matter is our fault, and we are all to blame for our poor cultivation, which dragged General Qin down, so that in order to protect us, he ...... Alas, he is a hero, a hero who saves us all!"
"This ......" the lieutenant froze in place, as if he could not accept this fact at all.
Of course, what Yun Xuan said must have been made up, and everyone else present knew about it. It's just that they don't understand why Yun Xuan didn't tell the truth about Qin Lan's joint demons, but instead made up lies to deceive these people.
Only Lu Fang's eyes flashed, and he took over: "Deputy General, we are very sorry about this matter, General Qin Lan's heroic deeds, after we meet His Majesty, we will speak for him." If nothing else, General Qin Lan's body is still below at this time, please help carry General Qin out, so that a funeral can be held for him!"
Even the chief of Lu Fang said this, and the deputy general couldn't say anything more, so he could only leave with his own men. As for how much he believed, only he knows.
After everyone left, Lu Xiangyu frowned strangely and asked, "Daddy, why are you lying with Xiao Xuan, why don't you tell the truth about that old turtle?"
Lu Fang smiled complicatedly and asked rhetorically: "Yu'er, Daddy also asks you, what if we tell the truth before?"
"It's not easy, of course...... It's ......"
Lu Fang shook his head and smiled: "What, can't you say it?" Yu'er, you have to remember that in this world, the most difficult thing to understand is the human heart, and obviously, Xuan'er has done a good job in this regard. Come, Xuan'er, explain to your senior brother and sister, why can't you tell the truth?"
Looking at everyone's curious and puzzled eyes, Yun Xuan touched his nose a little restrainedly, and explained softly: "Actually, the reason is very simple, because in the eyes of those soldiers, we are just a group of outsiders, and Qin Lan is their leader. If we tell them as soon as we open our mouths that Qin Lan is the mastermind of all this plan, do you think they will believe us?"
Perhaps dissatisfied with Yun Xuan's limelight, Ji Tianyang couldn't help but retort: "Why don't they believe it, even if we are outsiders, but we still have Zhao Meng as a witness, he can prove that what we say is the truth!"
Yun Xuan shook his head and said, "It's useless, that deputy general knows that Brother Zhao Meng was a common man we rescued, and what he said will not be believed either." Not to mention ......"
"What's more?"
“...... What worries me the most is not whether they believe us or not, but whether we should trust them!"
Ji Tianyang couldn't understand it even more, and said hurriedly: "What do you want to say, why can't you trust them?"
"We already knew before that Qin Lan had been colluding with the rat demon, and even planned this plague incident. However, is it true that Qin Lan is the only one who has an affair with the rat demon in this whole matter?
Yun Xuan said seriously: "The reason why I deceived them is to make the other party mistakenly think that we don't know the truth yet, and only in this way can the other party show his feet." Once we startle the snake, it will only make the other party hide deeper!"
"This ......" Ji Tianyang was speechless for a moment, and for the first time, his eyes were full of shock when he looked at Yun Xuan. However, after the shock, his vigilance against Yun Xuan also skyrocketed, because he knew that if such an extremely smart person wanted to be unfavorable to himself and others, it would be as terrifying as a nightmare.
Unlike him, Lu Xiangyu jumped and jumped excitedly: "Wow, Xiao Xuan, you are too smart! Sometimes I really want to break your head open to see what is inside, why are we all about the same age, but you can be so smart?"
Saying that, Lu Xiangyu also held down Yun Xuan's head, looking left and right, as if he was really planning to find a good place to start.
"Sister Xiaoyu, this is not good, how can I live if my head is broken?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll give you a good rest, it's definitely the same as before!"
Yun Xuan couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly dodged Lu Xiangyu's wrist, and the two of them chased one after the other and ran away, so it was not lively. It can be seen that although Yun Xuan's expression is very helpless, his eyes are full of happiness, because for him, this kind of fight with his relatives is so unwanted.
While the group was playing and laughing, no one noticed that a very young mouse had come out from under the huge rat demon.
Its little head looked left and right, and when no one noticed it, it hurriedly stepped out of its four small short legs and quickly entered the dark corner of the side. I ran all the way down the corner, and after a while, I finally came to a very remote house.
If Yun Xuan and the others were still here, they would definitely recognize that this was the warehouse they had entered when they first explored. There was a lot of flying debris in it, especially the rotting meat, which made the smell of the room disgusting.
It's just that in order to facilitate observation, the land side threw out all the rotten meat and vegetables.
The young rat came to a piece of carrion, grabbed it, and dragged it very quickly into the warehouse. The young rat suddenly jumped high and hung the carrion on a hanging barb.
As the weight increased, the barb slowly lowered and finally stopped at a height. Suddenly, there was an extremely small "crunch" sound, which would never have been heard unless you listened carefully.
At the same time, a hole can be seen under the wall in the corner, which instantly opens up, just enough to allow a mouse to pass through.
The young mouse turned its head and looked at the place where Lu Fang and the others were, and made a sharp "squeak" sound, as if it was ...... Laughing at something!
In an instant, the young rat rushed into the hole. As it entered, the hook jumped slightly upward, and the hole slowly closed as if nothing had happened.
