"I ask, you answer." Ao Wu observed Yun Wuzhen's expression and let down some of his guard. If there was a trustworthy person among Yun Hu, Ao Wu was willing to believe that this person was Yun Wuzhen.
"Okay, you can ask." Yun Wuzhen knew Ao Wu's temper and didn't dare to joke with him at this time. Although he was also full of doubts in his heart, what happened, how could the world change in less than a day?
.
Ao Wu: "Where are the seventeen people in Hangzhou?"
"No, not with you?" Yun Wuzhen asked back. He felt the dagger suddenly close to his neck and shrank his neck in fright: "I'm not doubting you. But Hang Shiqi snatched a long-maned winged horse and went to
It is true that many people saw the north run. All tribes sent people to chase, but they were ambushed by cocoon rats in the valley north of the city, causing heavy losses. Of course, I absolutely do not believe that Hang Shiqi can kill people, nor
I don’t think you have really colluded with Cocoon Rat, I just calculated that if he runs fast enough, he should meet you at the entrance to the southern line of the Northern Territory this morning."
Ao Wu said in a deep voice: "Are you an idiot? Hang Shiqi can't ride a horse and doesn't know the road."
Yun Wuzhen was stunned for half a second and said, "Yes! So Hang Shiqi, the one riding the horse, is pretending? He, he can't be a cocoon rat! In order to frame Hang Shiqi, he provoked Frost Wolf and others
The relationship between several ethnic groups? Yes, it should be like this, so it makes sense."
"Didn't you think of it before?" Ao Wu looked at Yun Wuzhen suspiciously. Yun Wuzhen knew a lot about Hang Shiqi. With his brain, he shouldn't be able to even think of such a superficial flaw.
Yun Wuzhen touched the tip of his nose with some embarrassment: "Hey, ever since I found out that Xiao Qi was a male, I couldn't connect him with the Xiao Qi I knew, so I got sidetracked.
"
The two of them fell into silence at the same time, and the question returned to its original point, where are the seventeen people in Zhenhang?
There was a knock on the door.
"My young prince, the shopkeeper of Yuntian Pavilion wants to see you. He said that he received two treasures this morning and wants to show them to you." Hu Yi asked at the door: "Are you up?"
"It's up." Yun Wuzhen looked at Ao Wu, who was standing aside with a cold face: "But I don't have time to see any treasures today, so I'll send him back."
"Yes." Fox responded, and the footsteps gradually became distant.
Yun Wuzhen rubbed his face: "What's going on? Ao Wu, I don't want to doubt you, but the covenant signed by you in my hand was burned to ashes yesterday. If it hadn't been for so many years as brothers, I
People have been called in to arrest you right now."
Covenant? Ao Wu was slightly startled and took out his share from the space. The covenant was intact, not even a wrinkle. Ao Wu spread the covenant in front of Yun Wuzhen and said with a sullen face, "Why is my share okay?"
If it weren't for his excessive trust in Yun Wuzhen and Yunhu and the covenant in his hand, Ao Wu would not have agreed to hand over Hang Shiqi, let alone leave the day before yesterday.
Yun Wu was really dumbfounded: "This is impossible. The covenant is the same, in two copies. It is impossible for one to spontaneously ignite and the other to be fine."
Ao Wu: "Who gave you this covenant? Is there anyone who can handle it?"
Yun Wuzhen thought for half a second and said with difficulty: "My eldest brother..."
The covenant was given to him by his eldest brother to take to Ao Wu to sign, and he kept it in his hands until yesterday. Yun Wulan said that Hang Shiqi had run away and asked him to take out the covenant and take a look. He said
It was impossible for Ao Wu and Hang Qi to have any problems, but as soon as the covenant was handed over to the eldest brother, the covenant spontaneously combusted.
If Hang Shiqi is pretending and there is no problem with the covenant, then the only problem is his eldest brother - Yun Wulan.
"That's not right. If my eldest brother broke the covenant, then why is the covenant in your hand okay?" Yun Wuzhen fell into confusion: "If my eldest brother didn't betray the covenant, why did he deliberately burn the covenant to make me misunderstand?
You? This doesn’t make sense?”
"I have verified the covenant and it is genuine." Ao Wu said, "But Yun Wulan's signature was not signed by me with my own eyes. If his blood is not mixed in it, then the covenant will be invalid."
"You mean my eldest brother was setting you up from the beginning? It's impossible, what is he trying to do?" Yun Wuzhen got more and more headache as he listened. On one side was his brother, and on the other side was his biological eldest brother.
"Duk duk duk," the knock on the door rang again. Yun Wuzhen was so frightened that he was still thinking whether his elder brother had discovered that Ao Wu was here and came to arrest him, and whether he should let Ao Wu run away quickly.
Fortunately, the person who came was still Hu Yi: "Little prince, the shopkeeper refuses to leave. I will definitely ask you to take a look at the treasure he brought today. He said it might be useful to you."
Ao Wu's heart moved. It was unknown if he had come to deliver the treasure at this time. It might be a clue related to yesterday.
"If you don't want to look, I don't have time." Yun Wuzhen said.
"Let him come up and take a look. It won't waste too much time." Ao Wu lowered his voice.
Yun Wuzhen glanced at Ao Wu in surprise: "Aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to call someone to arrest you?"
"You won't." Ao Wu struck the side of Yun Wuzhen's neck with the back of his knife as a warning. With a flip of his wrist, the dagger disappeared like magic.
Yun Wuzhen put on his clothes resignedly, stood up, opened a crack in the door, and called Hu Yi: "Bring the shopkeeper up to see me."
After returning to the bedroom, Yun Wuzhen put on his clothes and said to Ao Wu: "You hide it first. Don't let others know that you have returned to Wanze City, otherwise you will not be able to explain it."
Ao Wu nodded, walked behind the door, and gathered his breath. He was dressed in black, and stood in the shadow of the corner behind the door, motionless, as if he had completely melted into the shadow.
"You still have this ability? No wonder you can sneak past the guards and sneak into my room so easily." Yun Wuzhen looked at the place where Ao Wu was hiding in surprise. He knew clearly that the other person was there, but seemed to not be able to feel him.
"It's because the material of the clothes is special." This night clothes was made by the White Tower. The fabric that can accommodate the power of nature is infused with the power of concealment. When activated, it can hide the figure.
"What a good thing," Yun Wuzhen's eyes lit up: "Can it be produced with energy? You can put it in Yuntian Pavilion and I will auction it for you. The price is guaranteed to satisfy you."
"No." Ao Wu was too lazy to pay attention to him. At this time, he could still think about making money. He could only say that he was a member of the Yunhu royal family who was famous for being good at business.
"Then give me one." Yun Wuzhen said shamelessly: "Next time Yu Fangqing comes to see me again, I will wear it and run away."
Ao Wu: "I can give you clothes. Please help me find Hang Shiqi."
Yun Wuzhen said worriedly: "Where can I find this for you? How about I ask my elder brother to talk to you?"
Unexpectedly, the clues came unexpectedly quickly. When the shopkeeper of Yuntian Pavilion took out Ao Wu's wolf fang and Hang Shiqi's dog tag that never left his body, Ao Wu almost lost his breath.
Yun Wuzhen didn't expect to see these two things in the shopkeeper's hands, and he sat upright excitedly: "Where did you get them?"
"The small one was collected from a grilled fish stall owner at a pier. He was waiting at the door of the store early in the morning and said that he picked up two pendants yesterday and asked me to estimate the price." The shopkeeper of Yuntian Pavilion said: "Then
I have never seen this golden brand, but the wolf teeth look like those of His Highness the Wolf King. I was not sure, and I didn’t dare to go out and make any noise, so I came to you quickly. You are close to His Highness the Wolf King,
Do you think this wolf fang is..."
"Wharf, did he say when he picked it up?" Yun Wuzhen asked.
The shopkeeper thought about it for a moment: "The man said that there was a commotion in the city yesterday. When he heard the commotion, he quickly closed the stall. When closing the stall, he threw these two pendants into the lottery tube. It seemed that someone didn't want them anymore and threw them away on purpose."
"I understand." Yun Wuzhen said, "You handled this matter very well. I'll give that man some more money later and tell him to keep his mouth shut. Otherwise, if the owner comes back and asks for something, the money will be gone."
It’s his.”
"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper Nuoran agreed. Looking at Yun Wuzhen's serious expression, he guessed that the wolf teeth were probably real.
Yun Wuzhen: "Go down, don't ask too much, don't think too much. Once you get out of this door, just pretend you don't know. There is still a vacancy for the shopkeeper in the main pavilion. You have done a good job. When the matter is over, the position will be yours."
of."
"Thank you, young prince." The shopkeeper of Yuntian Pavilion retired happily.
After the shopkeeper left, Yun Wuzhen's face fell. When the trouble happened, Hang Shiqi was already at the dock. It was also confirmed that the person who killed the person in the courtyard was the fake Hang Shiqi who had been transferred. And he had the ability to kill Hang Shiqi.
After Qi changed the package and persuaded him to leave, Yun Wulan didn't think twice about it.
Yun Wuzhen's last fantasy was gone, and he handed the wolf fang and the dog tag to Ao Wu: "We were all deceived by my elder brother. Hang Shiqi should have been taken away from the dock. He may have felt something before boarding the ship.
I didn’t think it was right, so I deliberately left this as a clue.”
Ao Wu took the wolf fang and the dog tag and held them in his hand. He was thinking about how those people tricked Hang Shiqi into boarding the boat? Would they say they were waiting for him on the boat? He was so smart that he would have run away if he sensed something was wrong, unless
It was because he knew he couldn't run away that he deliberately left such an important thing as a signal.
"I'm going to check on the merchant ship that left yesterday afternoon." Yun Wuzhen stood up and said.
"No, if they want to leave, they will definitely try to erase the records. If you rush to check, it will be easy to be exposed in front of Yun Wulan." Ao Wu stopped him and said.
Yun Wuzhen stopped and said, "Do you know who took him away?"
Ao Wu nodded: "If I guessed correctly, he should have been brought back to Nanxia's lair by the Priest of the Cocoon Rat."
Hang Shiqi is his partner. If Cocoon Rat controls Hang Shiqi, it can not only push the North to oppose the other six tribes, but also use Hang Shiqi to deal with Ao Wu. But Hang Shiqi is not easy to control.
He escaped from the control of the cocoon rat twice, and he has speed and endurance that are not weaker than those of ordinary frost wolves, not to mention that he also controls the power of wind. The other party wants to bring Hang Qiyi back without any loss, and not only must find ways to obtain
With Hang Shiqi’s blood, the strongest priests must be dispatched to control him.
Hang Shiqi probably realized that his blood had been taken away and that he might not be able to escape, so he left these two tokens behind. The cocoon rat was still useful for Hang Shiqi. His life was not in danger for the time being, but he was afraid that he would also eat it.
some suffering,
Thinking of this, Ao Wu didn't want to delay any more: "I'm going to save people right away. You must keep the fact that I've been here a secret from Yun Wulan."
Yun Wuzhen: "Wait, you're just going to go alone?"
Ao Wu: "I only save people, there are more people than useless."
Yun Wuzhen handed over a jade pendant: "If you still believe me, I'll take it. I have secret lines in Yuntian Pavilion everywhere. You can call them. You don't have to worry about my brother finding out."
"Thank you." Ao Wu accepted the jade pendant and quietly left through the window.
Hang Shiqi had a long dream in a daze.
In the dream, his fragmented memories about his past life were gradually pieced together.
He has no memory of his parents. He only remembers that when he was a child, someone beat him and he ran away. Hunger filled his childhood. He was like a stray cat or dog, living on the edge of the city, relying on charity from well-wishers.
, when I was very hungry, I would also dig out the trash can. It was when I picked out the trash can that I found longevity.
Later, Hang Shiqi was sent to an orphanage by well-wishers, and Changsheng also settled in the backyard of the orphanage.
The conditions in the orphanage were not very good. If you wanted to eat, you had to grab food. Hang Shiqi couldn't get food from others at the beginning and was always hungry. The problem of grabbing food and eating poorly probably came from that time.
When he graduated from high school, Hang Shiqi had left the welfare institution and lived with Changsheng in a small rental house. He didn't know when his birthday was, but he remembered the day he met Changsheng, which was the day they both shared.
Birthdays are celebrated every year. Hang Shiqi spent the money he earned from working extravagantly to buy a bag of chicken legs, and tied a dog leash for Changsheng at a handicraft shop on the street.
But when he returned home, he found that the row of rental houses in his house was on fire. He rushed in like crazy, but in the end it was too late.
"Long life, long life!" Hang Shiqi sat up from the bed and subconsciously touched the dog leash on his chest, but found nothing. Hang Shiqi opened his eyes and looked around, and saw the familiar underground palace. The room was even the same as the one he had lived in before.
The one I passed by. Familiar furnishings, familiar environment, familiar numb expressions on the faces of the new batch of unfamiliar cocoon rat orcs.
"..." Hang Shiqi looked at the three cocoon orcs standing in front of his bed staring at him numbly, feeling a little creepy: "What are you doing?"
The three of them did not answer him, but worked in an orderly manner. Two helped him dress and wash, and the other went out to inform the teacher.
"You're awake." The Cocoon Priest appeared beside the bed: "How do you feel?"
Changshou is dead. Hang Qi Qi remembered that the Cocoon Rat Priest said that the souls he summoned were all dead souls. But Hang Qi Qi was curious, how did the other party know what he was thinking of?
"It's not good, I had a nightmare." Hang Shiqi dealt with it casually.
"What did you dream about?" The corymouse priest showed an interested look: "You are indeed different. As far as I know, people with broken souls cannot have dreams."
Hang Shiqi looked at him with boredom and grinned maliciously: "I dreamed that I turned into a mouse and was eaten by a cat."
"It's because you are young that you can speak with such a childish temper." The Cocoon Rat Priest shook his head: "I know, in your heart I am a bad person. The Cocoon Rat Orc is inciting disputes among the seven royal families and destroying the peace of the continent."
Isn't that what it is? Hang Shiqi crossed his arms and looked at the Cocoon Priest with cold eyes.
Priest of the Cocoon Rat: "But do you know what kind of life the Cocoon Rat lived in Southern Xia before this?"
Hang Shiqi didn't speak.
The Priest of the Cocoon Rat continued to speak, his voice was low and filled with deep sadness, which was very able to arouse people's emotions: "Once, we were the lowest slaves in Southern Xia. We have been looked down upon by everyone since we were born. We were not
We are allowed to go to school but not allowed to read. We do the hardest labor and are beaten and scolded at every turn. Even if we are beaten to death, no one will take a second look. In the eyes of the nobles of Southern Xia, we are dirty and despicable rats.
, should have been extinct long ago, even the birds in the cage and the carp in the lotus pond are more valuable than our lives."
"So." Hang Shiqi raised his head with an indifferent expression and asked: "Does this have anything to do with you enslaving the cocoon orcs? Did I beat you and scold you, or enslaved you? There is an injustice and a debtor, and you take revenge.
If you go to the people who hurt you, what's the point of selling it to me?"
