Chapter 16: Misunderstanding?
Wu Shuang took out the celadon bottle from Yang Xiuhong's placket, opened the cork and smelled it, then evenly sprinkled the powder on the knife net in her right leg. Sure enough, the knife net loosened on its own and fell to the ground. Wu Shuang carefully gathered the knife net into a ball, took off a cloth bag from Yang Xiuhong's waist, put the knife net away, just wanted to tie it to his belt, after thinking about it, he still felt that Ding Yu had contributed more just now, and if he wanted to take the loot, he would let him take it first, so he handed him the cloth bag.
Ding Yu shook his head and smiled: "I'm not good at secret weapons, so you should use them." ”
Wu Shuang was overjoyed, took back the cloth bag, and still felt a little embarrassed, so he took the chain dagger in Yang Xiuhong's hand and stuffed it to Ding Yu.
Yang Xiuhong saw that the two of them were "dividing the spoils" in front of her without any scruples, and smiled bitterly, but she didn't dare to object.
At this time, Wu Shuang said to her: "Yang Xiuhong, we are only going to Liu Shilang's Imperial Python Dragon Cup, if you are interested, tell your whereabouts calmly, otherwise I don't mind spending more means." ”
When Yang Xiuhong heard this, the whole person was stunned, and asked rhetorically: "You are here for the Python Dragon Cup, could it be that you are the people who hunt the village?"
Wu Shuang said proudly: "Since we know that we are from the hunting village, we should know the means of hunting the village, and there is no mouth in this world that we can't pry open." ”
Yang Xiuhong sighed and said bitterly: "The water has washed the Dragon King Temple, I am the one who delivered the news to Liezhuang, how can the Python Dragon Cup be in my hands!"
Wu Shuang was taken aback at first, and then said disdainfully: "It's ridiculous! You are obviously a thief, and you took the initiative to attack the two of us just now, and at this time, what did you say to report to Liezhuang, really I am a three-year-old child!"
Yang Xiuhong said: "I am indeed a thief, but the thief may not cooperate with Liezhuang." As for Fang Cai, you two have not revealed their identities, how do I know that you are from the hunting village? I was sleeping peacefully at home, when suddenly the outside agency was touched. Wake me up. Then I vaguely hear something 'enter the house', 'storm', 'take it down', if it were you, would you make a move?
Since you are a hunter, it is not surprising that you know something about my theft. Then you should know that I have the rules of 'nine non-thieves', one of which is 'royal non-theft', which is the python dragon cup and other royal gifts. It's just that these objects are too hot. It is extremely difficult to find a buyer, and the government will inevitably spend a lot of effort to track it down, and once the buyer is exposed, everyone who handles it will be implicated.
Zhang Neng was originally my deputy, but some time ago he went crazy and suddenly asked me to cooperate with him to steal the python cup. I sternly refused at the time, thinking that he would give up his mind, but later I heard that the python cup had been stolen, and I immediately reported the matter to the door. Orders were issued through the back door. I asked me to inform Liezhuang of Zhang Neng's whereabouts, so Liezhuang received the news in the afternoon of the second day after Zhang Neng's treasure theft. ”
What Yang Xiuhong said and Wu Shuang's knowledge are very tight, and it doesn't sound like a lie.
Yang Xiuhong saw that Wu Shuang was still a little hesitant, and said: "If you don't believe me, you might as well go to the county town to ask about the source of this news, and you will know that I have not said half a lie." ”
Wu Shuang frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Even if you give Zhang Neng's news to Liezhuang, you can't rule out your suspicion." Maybe Zhang Neng will hand you the python dragon cup with his front foot. You betrayed his whereabouts on the back foot, just as you swallowed the python dragon cup yourself. ”
Yang Xiuhong couldn't help but sigh again. said: "This woman, do you suspect that I took the python dragon cup, but this news came from Zhang Neng's mouth?"
Wu Shuang nodded.
"That's it! If I swallowed the python dragon cup, and I knew that Zhang Neng would be tortured after being captured by you, then why should I provide a true and accurate message so that you can catch Zhang Neng? I only need to delay for half a day when delivering the news to Hunting Village. Or wouldn't it be better to give you an inaccurate message so that you can't track him down?
Besides, if I want to swallow the Python Dragon Cup alone, why should I use such a troublesome method? Zhang Neng's martial arts are not as good as mine. Wouldn't it be easy for me to kill him while he was unprepared, and then bury his body and release a false message, wouldn't it be neat?"
Wu Shuang had no way to refute it. The information she got from Hunter Zhuang was very accurate, and according to this news, she had a good chance of being able to capture Zhang Neng alive. And the method of hunting and torture, as far as she knows, has never missed. So if Zhang Neng really handed over the python cup to Yang Xiuhong, then she should know that once Zhang Neng is caught, she will inevitably be exposed, so isn't she pheating herself by providing an accurate message?
But if Yang Xiuhong is telling the truth, could it be said that both she and Ding Yu were deceived by Zhang Neng? The python dragon cup is not in Yang Xiuhong's hands at all?
Wu Shuang couldn't figure it out, but Ding Yu didn't waver. He knew very well that Zhang Neng had fallen into the Soul Shifting Dafa and could not lie, so the Python Dragon Cup must be in Yang Xiuhong's hands. And what she said seems to have no flaws, the premise is that Zhang Neng's news was really passed on to Liezhuang by her. If the veracity of this cannot be confirmed, then her argument is nothing more than a castle built on false information.
It's just that now Wu Shuang's right leg is injured and he can't hurry, and he is not from the hunting village, so he can't confirm the news. He suspected that Yang Xiuhong had seen through this through some clues, so he would argue like this.
So he pulled Wu Shuang aside and whispered this thought, Wu Shuang perked up and said, "Yes! But it doesn't matter, my leg is just a skin wound, and although it is difficult to walk, it does not hinder riding. I saw horses in the inn during the day, and I 'borrowed' them. ”
Ding Yu said: "That's the best." I'm guarding Yang Xiuhong, you rush back to Liezhuang to find out the source of the news, and then make plans when you come back. ”
Wu Shuang nodded, turned around and stared at Yang Xiuhong and said, "You'd better think clearly, if the news I got here doesn't match what you said, I will let you see the means of hunting the village!"
Yang Xiuhong's expression remained unchanged: "Wu Nuxia, go and come back quickly, so it's better to return my innocence earlier." ”
Wu Shuang threw down a sentence: "I'll wait and see." Then he turned to Ding Yu and arched his hand: "There is little master Lao guarding me, and I will come back in about ten hours." ”
"Don't worry, I will watch her. ”
Wu Shuang's figure quickly disappeared into the night, and Yang Xiuhong said: "The wind is high and the dew is cold here, why don't the little master go to the cold house to rest for a while, and let the surviving people enjoy the friendship of the landlord?"
Ding Yu smiled and asked, "How did you say you found us?"
"It's because you touched the ...... I placed in the courtyard" At this point, she already understood what Ding Yu meant.
Ding Yu nodded and said, "Exactly, there are even organs in the courtyard that we can't detect, how dare I come to your house to rest?"
"Are you going to stay here forever? Although this place is a little remote, there are still pedestrians passing by during the day, and you don't want people to see a little monk kidnapping a widow, do you?"
"Don't worry," Ding Yu said lightly, "I know a quiet and comfortable place. (To be continued.) )
