Chapter 222 How can the bright moon shine on the ditch?
Zuo Zhou doesn't like to be passive, because once he falls into it, he subconsciously wants to find someone to discuss it with. But if you don't have anyone to help analyze, then you have to waste your brain cells and solve the problem yourself, which is very tiring.
Well, in the final analysis, he is still a bit lazy. He hopes that life can be spent peacefully like the previous sixteen years, instead of having so many things happen in this year.
Zuo Zhou wandered back to the City Lord's Mansion. He did not move Dugu Ming's body. He just pierced the door of the City Lord's Mansion with a flying knife with a report letter. He left the matter of collecting the body to Nie Feng.
Well, maybe after Dugu Ming's body is found, he can gain more love from the people in the city.
As for himself, he walked outside Princess Qingping's room, and then...before he could get closer, he saw two female soldiers staring at him from a distance!
"Hey, you are so busy and you are still up so late, hahaha!" Zuo Zhou laughed dryly.
"Master Li won't sleep, how dare we sleep?"
"..."
Well, I didn't expect that the elite female soldiers of the Yang family actually know how to bicker and taunt. They are so smart.
Zuo Zhou turned around and left boredly. After walking around for a while, he was about to go back to his room to sleep when he found two girls sitting on the roof.
"Are you two... admiring the moonlight?"
Hong Kui and Lan Kui lowered their heads at the same time. Lan Kui said rather lonely: "In just ten years, the world has changed so fast, it seems that even the moon is different!"
Zuo Zhou felt a bit toothache listening to this leisurely tone. He didn't expect Xiaolan to be quite artistic.
But then Hongkui asked: "What? Are you being blocked by those female soldiers again?"
"We just don't want to cause a stalemate. We're not sending the princess to get married. It's not their turn to care who the princess ends up with. But the team still needs the elites of the Yang family to contribute, so there can't be a stalemate. Besides, along the way, besides Yang Paifeng,
She was quite cooperative except for stopping me, so I have to give her some face."
Lan Kui continued: "My brother used to be like this, he would consider this and that. Aren't you tired of doing this?"
Zuo Zhou was so amused that he flew up to the room and sat next to Lan Kui, "This is the way the world is. If you want to gain something, you always have to lose something. The only difference is that you don't care about what you lose."
"Must it be like this?"
Zuo Zhou paused and shook his head, "Some people say that knowing how to compromise is a sign of maturity. It is true that on the surface it is indeed difficult, more difficult than living a wanton life! But this is not actually a sign of maturity, nor is it a sign of maturity.
It doesn't mean it's right. There are always various ways to achieve a goal, and compromise is just one of them, and it's a relatively simple way."
"Take the assassination of Emperor Qin as an example. It is difficult, but it is not impossible. A positive example is Wu Ming who forced his way into a martial arts myth and became famous. A negative example is Wei Jinzhong, who cleverly used the Wrath of Heaven method to summon thunder from the sky.
You have two choices and two endings. The former relies on the hard power you have developed step by step, and the latter is opportunistic. Obviously the former is more difficult and more stable, while the latter is simpler but has huge hidden dangers."
Hong Lankui obviously understood what Zuo Zhou meant and stopped talking for a while. Zuo Zhou didn't bother them either. The two girls were probably so sentimental all of a sudden because they wanted to do something, something that required sacrifice.
Then of course he has to lie a little bit. If something can be changed by spending time and effort, don't always think about taking shortcuts. Because compared to the time and sweat you put in, what you sacrifice is often more precious.
"I want to cry, but I can't." Lan Kui suddenly hugged Hong Kui pitifully, her face squeezed into Hong Kui's chest, which made her deformed.
Zuo Zhou glanced at it, hey, he's so big-faced, why didn't he notice it before? This puppet can also change according to different souls?
Speaking of which, Zuo Zhou felt more and more that these two puppets were not simple. If his prediction was correct, the wax man Zhang definitely had good intentions when he gave these two puppets to the dolls. Because as long as the two dolls can take good care of the puppets,
, they will find that this puppet has the effect of nourishing the soul. Then they can give up their bodies and continue to live as puppets, which can be regarded as entrusting the control of the Child Emperor.
It's a pity that the two girls have changed from victims to perpetrators. Not only did they fail to understand the kindness of the wax man Zhang, they even ungratefully killed him... Is he really dead? It's a bit too simple, isn't it?
Will people who practice crafts die so easily?
Zuo Zhou once again recalled the scene in the baby's memory. He was a little unsure for a while. He could only wait and see if he had the opportunity to go to Song Dynasty.
With one move, Hong Kui dug two dragons into Zuo Zhou's eyes. If Zuo Zhou hadn't reacted in time, he would have been blinded.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Where are you looking!"
"..."
Okay, just now Zuo Zhou was a little obsessed with his thoughts, but you are exaggerating. Do you think I have to tell you about the puppets that I have studied in detail?
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. I just want to remind you that these two puppets are my property. You are just tenants at best. If you don't pay the rent, that's it. If you do anything to damage the furniture, I will... I will go dig you up.
Prince Jiang’s grave bag!”
Lan Kui stopped crying immediately and looked at him blankly. How could he threaten the sword spirit like this?
Hongkui directly picked up two tiles and shot them at them, but Zuo Zhou had already run away.
When Zuo Zhou returned to the room, he did not enter the dream space immediately. He was thinking all the time.
I don’t know if the exile forces in Wushuang City are enemies or friends, but I’m afraid no one will be able to trust him here in the future. The exiles can’t do it, and neither can the natives. Although it seems that the Yang family and he are on the same front for the time being, but Yang
That silly guy who is venting air, can you safely discuss it with her?
"Oh, it would be great if Lao Di was around at this time!"
…
Early the next morning, while Zuo Zhou was still stretching, Qin Shuang, Nie Feng and others took others out. Unfortunately, they went out in high spirits, but when they came back, they looked depressed and gloomy.
"What's wrong, buddy? Didn't you sleep well at night?"
Zuo Zhou just asked casually, but found that Nie Feng was a little blushing. He probably played very late with Mingyue last night.
Mingyue was more generous than Nie Feng, "Someone said before that there was a flying knife stuck in front of the door. There was a letter from Dao Mountain, saying that Dugu Ming was dead and was somewhere in the city at the moment. So we took people there, only to find that there
A raging fire broke out. After we put out the fire with palm wind, we found that Dugu Ming's body had been severely damaged."
Zuo Zhou was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nie Feng pretending to be serious, "It seems that someone hates Dugu Ming more than us. This is a good thing. Don't always look sad!"
Nie Feng sighed. Although he always felt something was wrong, he had no choice but to give up. After all, their conflict with Dugu Ming was just about Wushuang City. If Dugu Ming had not died, they might have taken more precautions. Now that they are all dead, of course they can sleep peacefully.
Thinking about nothing.
"What General Li said is correct. This can be considered a good thing. Dugu Ming was domineering and domineering in Wushuang City at the beginning. The retribution he has now is due to cause and effect."
Nie Feng nodded and said no more. Obviously Mingyue's comfort was quite effective.
Zuo Zhou watched the two people leave with a smile, and then ran to see Dugu Ming's body.
When he saw the burnt corpse, he suddenly became happy. You see, this test is very useful. The enemy's tail is exposed!
Yes, that’s right, inserting a knife into the door to deliver a message is a kind of temptation!
Zuo Zhou wanted to know to what extent this exile force had penetrated Wushuang City, especially how much power it had in the city lord's mansion. After all, the city lord's mansion was now occupied by the elites of the Yang family and the princess's guards, except for some who were originally loyal to the city.
Apart from the old man of Wushuang City in Mingyue, there are not many outsiders.
But I didn't expect that the first person to discover that the messenger was not the princess guard or the elite of the Yang family, but a hostile force!
If we rule out the unlucky situation of being seen by the enemy, it can only show that the influence of this exile force is very strong. Moreover, they even have time to use fire to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces, so this time is considered to be plenty.
However...it was precisely this fire that made Zuo Zhou almost burst out laughing. Fortunately, Zuo Zhou was a professional, otherwise he really couldn't help himself.
There is a saying that the more you do, the more mistakes you make. This sentence is especially applicable to the murderer. It would be fine if the exile forces took Dugu Ming's body away, but they had to burn it.
Just now Mingyue said that the body had been burned, but she also said that it was Dugu Ming's body!
Well, listen, isn't this a bit contradictory?
Is Nie Feng stupid? No, he would not be so careless as to easily identify an unknown corpse as someone else's.
There is only one situation that can prevent him from making this mistake, and that is if someone with special authority and trustworthiness tells him so, and he will believe it.
And there is only one such person in the entire Wushuang City, and that is... Mingyue!
As someone who grew up in Wushuang City, she must be very familiar with Dugu Ming, and she has a close relationship with Nie Feng. If she said that the corpse was Dugu Ming, then Nie Feng would definitely believe it.
"Do you have any clues?"
A cold voice sounded next to Zuo Zhou. Zuo Zhou came to his senses and lowered his head to see the ruthless and suspicious eyes.
Zuo Zhou was happy, "I am a general, not someone who specializes in solving crimes. If you are interested in this matter, then take it over. Don't worry, if you can't solve the case, I will definitely make trouble for you!"
"
ruthless:"……"
Tie Youxia, who was inspecting the body next to him, got up a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Well... is there some misunderstanding among everyone? I think..."
"I don't want you to think, I just want to think! This team is dominated by me, it doesn't matter to me whether Dugu Ming dies or not? I, and you, our mission is to protect the princess to reach Jiangnan Road, and then expose Ziyu's true face to regain the power of the army
!You, including me, as well as the Eight Gentlemen tragedy and so on, are all issues that can be considered later!"
Zuo Zhou began to release murderous intent early in the morning, either because he was angry or because speaking like this would be very imposing and paralyze the exile forces. After all, it was still unclear whether Mingyue was an enemy or a friend, so there was no need to offend him.
