The bonfire was swaying coquettishly, and the firelight reflected on Youruo's face made this apparently lovely girl look like a thief. She always peeked at Zuo Zhou with a cautious, tender and complaining look.
There is no way, now my father's life is in other people's hands. If he doesn't take good care of him, he will become a child without a father!
With Zuo Zhou's current strength, he was certainly aware of You Ruo's little moves, but he didn't pay attention to it. It was a good thing for this girl to be a little awed by him. He just looked up at the moonlight and said, "I was careless. I should stay in the world for a while longer."
, at least wait until the next day before leaving, so you don’t have to sleep outdoors like this."
Youruo blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked around at the environment in the deep mountains and old forests. What did this person mean? He couldn't be trying to do anything to me, right? There was no one in this wretched place, even if I screamed, my throat would be broken.
Reasonable!
This time, Zuo Zhou didn't expect that Youruo was thinking about anything. He just raised his head and looked directly into the depths of the jungle, "I thought you were going to Wushuang City? Why did you come to me?"
Two figures walked out slowly from the depths of the dark jungle. One of them waved to greet Zuo Zhou with a helpless expression, while the other had a dull expression and his eyes were as if two deep pools of water could not see any fluctuations in them.
Wei Xiaobao, Qin Shuang!
"After I briefly explained the affairs of the Tianxiahui, I came to follow you. After all, I have nothing to do in the imperial capital now."
Wei Xiaobao's words were sincere, but what Zuo Zhou heard was another meaning. It would be okay if he went directly to the imperial capital to find Shuang'er, but it meant that he and Zuo Zhou were not of the same mind, but because of the relationship between Shuang'er and Wei Xiaobao.
Zuo Zhou's favor is a kind of friendship like debt repayment. At most, it can be regarded as a friend. But if you accompany Zuo Zhou all the way to Jiangnan Road, then the meaning is different. It means that you are willing to follow, and you are truly one of your own.
.
Zuo Zhou smiled with satisfaction and pointed to the place next to him with his chin, "Let's show off our clothes late at night and warm up by the fire."
Wei Xiaobao smiled and sat next to Zuo Zhou, picked up a pack of beef jerky wrapped in lotus leaves and started eating it. He handed it to You Ruo in a familiar manner, "Want some?"
Youruo glanced at Wei Xiaobao. This guy also participated in cheating her father. Emotionally speaking, she hated it, but she didn't dare to show it now. She could only endure the grievance and tear off a piece and eat it. Huh? It's quite delicious!
Zuo Zhou smiled and turned to Qin Shuang again, "What about you?"
Qin Shuang came closer and sat next to You Ruo, looking across the bonfire at Zuo Zhou, "Nie Feng has his own little life to live, so why should I bother him."
Zuo Zhou raised his eyebrows and even stopped calling Junior Brother Feng. This was because he was angry.
"What are your plans next?"
"I'll follow you first. I have some ideas, but without evidence, I may not be able to do anything on my own."
Zuo Zhou pursed his lips, but did not object. Judging from Qin Shuang's performance, there was no doubt that Kong Ci's behavior before his death had affected him. He always felt that this buddy was about to turn dark.
"So Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun returned to Wushuang City together? Haha, no way."
Qin Shuang's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he stared at Zuo Zhou and asked, "Why are you so sure?"
Why is it sure? Of course it is because of the bright moon. The purpose of this group of exiles is to control the military power of Jiangnan Road. Although the methods are different, they must be witnessed in person. They may even help secretly protect Princess Qingping.
Do you think she will return to Wushuang City honestly?
However, Zuo Zhou was not sure whether Mingyue was the one who attacked Kong Ci, so there was no point in saying this. Besides, looking at Qin Shuang's expression, he might also have other guesses.
"Bu Jingyun should try his best to kill Xiong Ba, but I'm not optimistic about him. Now Xiong Ba is escorted by the six-door golden-clothed policemen and Yang Jiajun. With Bu Jingyun's ability, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it. As for Nie Feng...
...He has always been a carefree person, so he might come to Gangnam Road to join in the fun!"
Qin Shuang paused and said: "Wushuang City has been affected by the landslide. There is no reason for him, the city lord, not to go back and take charge of the overall situation!"
Zuo Zhou was happy and took out a copper coin from his sleeve, "I'll make a bet with you. Nie Feng will definitely come to Jiangnan Road! If you win, I will help you avenge Kong Ci. If you lose, I will lose.
A copper coin!"
Qin Shuang was silent for a long time as she looked at the copper coin in Zuo Zhou's palm. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should expect to lose or win.
Youruo couldn't understand it at all, but she understood the matter of revenge, "Do you know who killed Kong Ci?"
Zuo Zhou and Qin Shuang ignored him. Wei Xiaobao continued: "Although Kong Ci's body was severely burned, traces of torture can still be seen. If there is no deep hatred, he is a pervert. But being perverted does not mean that he is irrational. Here,
The randomness of torturing a person in a place surrounded by the elites of the Yang family is too exaggerated. Why Kong Ci, why not Zhang San, Li, Si, Wang and Wu? When there are too many coincidences, this option can basically be eliminated, so there must be something
Deep hatred."
Upon hearing this, Youruo despised her directly, "Nonsense, Kong Ci has never been out of the Tianxiahui in her whole life, what kind of enemies can she have?"
Wei Xiaobao glanced at Qin Shuang meaningfully, "I'm afraid you may have misunderstood. The deep hatred is not necessarily caused by oneself, it may also be because of others!"
"Who is it? Kong Ci doesn't seem to have any relatives."
Youruo still couldn't figure it out, and Wei Xiaobao didn't explain it clearly. Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with her. Qin Shuang said, "How can you succeed in revenge without damaging the brotherhood?"
As soon as he said this, Zuo Zhou knew clearly that Qin Shuang had roughly guessed the identity of the murderer. There were not many people who could bring disaster to Kong Ci, and the three of them were the closest people to Kong Ci.
Zuo Zhou rubbed his chin, suddenly becoming interested. Maybe he should be more proactive. Being passively defensive is definitely not our style.
"It's simple, make your brother fall in love with someone else, or prove that she is fake!"
"Fake?" This shocked both Qin Shuang and Wei Xiaobao. How do you say this?
Zuo Zhou lied extremely seriously, "Dugu Ming told me this suspicion before he died. It's just up to you whether you can find evidence. I don't have time to meddle with this business now."
Qin Shuang stood up immediately after hearing this, "Thank you for your advice." After saying that, he reached out and took out a copper coin from his waist and threw it to Zuo Zhou, "I give up."
Zuo Zhou took the copper coins, but reached out and took out a banknote from his pocket, "Look at how poor you are, how can you walk around without money?"
Qin Shuang was speechless, but still took it, turned around and left without delay.
Zuo Zhou's mood suddenly improved. Unexpectedly, while these women were causing trouble for him, Zuo Zhou had already sent people to dig up their roots!
Wei Xiaobao watched Qin Shuang leave. This time he couldn't figure out what Qin Shuang was going to do. "General, what are we going to do next?"
Youruo answered, "My lord, I said that I was going to pick up Princess Qingping."
Wei Xiaobao didn't look at her, but still stared at Zuo Zhou, "If you want to pick up Princess Qingping, why don't you go with Ruthless Iron Hand and the others?"
"Let's make a long-distance attack on Xuejiazhuang!"
Zuo Zhou felt embarrassed when he said it. Along the way, he had to guard against Ziyu and also had to battle wits and courage with the Qinglong Society. Now even the exiles were involved.
It was obvious that fighting alone was not enough, so he gave Qin Shuang a reminder and asked him to help deal with the exile forces. Even if he could not play a decisive role, it could still make the exile forces miserable for a while.
And he will take advantage of the fact that Princess Qingping's safety is not affected to cause trouble for the Qinglong Society, otherwise he will not be able to escape once he starts to go on the road again.
As for how to attack the Qinglong Society, the bloody feud between the Wuqing family is obviously a good entry point. It’s rare that Mo Laosan gave the answer, how could he not copy it?
"Xue Yiren, when he was young, he had few opponents in the world. Because of his fierce and ruthless swordsmanship, he was nicknamed the 'Man in Blood Clothes'. Although he has retired from the world for several years, his strength is definitely not worse than that of my father. Can you win on your own?"
Youruo read out the information as if he were memorizing a text.
This made Zuo Zhou a little surprised, "You still have such advantages? It seems that the eldest lady is not in vain."
Youruo said proudly, "I used to look through the world's records about people in the world out of boredom."
When Zuo Zhou heard this, he made an expression as if he hated iron and said, "No wonder your kung fu is so poor. You spend all your time reading miscellaneous books! By the way, is your innate state also built up with medicine?"
"I..." Youruo pouted but was unable to refute. Your guess was really accurate!
Wei Xiaobao was shocked, "Huh? Can the innate realm be built up with medicine?"
Zuo Zhou: "..."
Youruo looked at Wei Xiaobao, as if he finally had a sense of superiority, "Ah hahaha, yes, it is indeed possible, but you must pay attention to the method and method to avoid causing a weak foundation. Therefore, the medicine you take is very particular and should be based on the individual body.
Order a prescription.”
Wei Xiaobao blinked his big curious eyes, looking eager for knowledge, "So, where can I buy it?"
Youruo proudly continued: "Let me tell you..."
Zuo Zhou didn't even bother to look at the two young girls who were very interested in chatting all night. He just looked up at the sky with some self-pity. Wei Xiaobao was smart, but his skills were really lacking. And walking in this world.
, just relying on intelligence is not enough. When will I have a master subordinate who can show off his talents?
…
Outside Mu Ming Town, Qing Qing looked at the streets that were still brightly lit even late at night, and suddenly stopped.
Tie Shou looked at her strangely and asked with concern: "Are you too tired? We are entering the city just ahead. Let's have a good rest for a day before leaving and wait for General Li. He really left without saying a word.
.”
Qingqing didn't answer but looked at Yang Paifeng who was not far away, "General Yang, can the team change the route later and take a slightly longer route?"
Yang Paifeng rode close to the carriage and shook his head decisively to refuse, "Of course not. It is His Majesty's decree to attack the world. Now that the mission is over, all we have to do is ensure the safety of the princess. How can we change the route so easily?"
Feeling helpless, he had no choice but to say: "General Lao, please go and protect the princess first. Stay in Muming Town for a few more days. I have to do something!"
