After some discussion, everyone decided that the Iron Bear King, as a neutral position, was most suitable to host this inquiry.
The Iron-Armored Bear King did not refuse, thought for a while, and said: "Let's start with Hang Shiqi's matter. Hang Shiqi, about you escaping from Wanze City, killing the guards in the courtyard, and trapping the pursuers of the Seven Royal Clan.
How do you explain things?"
"The person who went to the north was not me. I was deceived by Yun Wulan." Hang Shiqi replied calmly: "Yun Wulan lied to me and said that Ao Wu was going back to the north. He could replace me. In the end,
But someone put me on the Cocoon Priest's ship and went all the way to Southern Xia. As for those things you mentioned, they were all done by the person pretending to be me from the Yun Wulan Sect and have nothing to do with me."
The Iron Bear King asked him about the time and details of the replacement, and Hang Shiqi's answers were all correct, without any doubts.
The Iron-Armored Bear King asked again: "Is there any evidence for what you said?"
"Evidence, isn't it evidence that you didn't catch anyone? The person pretending to be me took off his disguise and turned back into a cloud fox. Of course you couldn't catch him. And I didn't go to the north, right? It was already at that time
I was taken to the merchant ship of the Cocoon Priest, so I would appear in Nanxia later."
After Hang Shiqi finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly pulled out the dog tag and Ao Wu's fangs from his lapel: "By the way, I noticed something was wrong at that time and threw the things into the lottery box at the pier. Later, they were transferred to Ao Wu's hand.
Later, he found out that I was kidnapped by Cocoon Rat and taken to Nanxia. You can go and investigate this matter."
The Iron-Armored Bear King nodded, not saying whether he believed it or not. Although Hang Shiqi provided evidence, he could not fully find out for a while. Instead, an unexpected person was involved. He turned to look at Yun Wulan: "
What does His Highness King Yunhu have to say?"
King Yunhu showed a very surprised look and put on a hurt look of being betrayed: "Dongye has always been an ally of the North before. Even if His Highness the Wolf King was suspected before, I have always been on his side. I really didn't expect that.
…”
"At that time, Hang Shiqi's identity was suspicious. Because of Ao Wu's entrustment, I still gave him my favorite courtyard to live in. I didn't mind that he demolished my favorite courtyard and took the craftsmen there every day to make up the east and west. I
I transferred my favorite subordinates to the yard, saying they were looking after them, but they were really taking care of them. I didn’t expect that they would be killed in the end. But I still had hope, thinking that there might be some misunderstanding, but I didn’t expect that my sincerity would lead to the death of them.
But it’s so slanderous, it’s really chilling.”
Hang Shiqi stuck out his tongue and made a retching motion. Knowing that Yun Wulan betrayed their alliance early on and now started playing the emotional card, Hang Shiqi felt that this person was really hypocritical.
The others didn't react at all. They were just watching the show. They were all used to seeing wind and waves, so they weren't really moved by Yun Wulan's few words.
The Iron-Armored Bear King pulled back his thoughts and looked at Ao Wu: "So now Hang Shiqi is claiming that the Yunhu clan is the culprit who colluded with the Cocoon Rat. Does His Highness the Wolf King think so too?"
Ao Wu tapped his fingertips on the edge of the table: "What Shiqi means is that both the Yunhu and the Fire Yu clan are involved with the Cocoon Rat. I think so too."
The Iron-Armored Bear King nodded: "Okay, Hang Shiqi, what have you done since you went to Nanxia?"
"Blow up the cocoon rat's nest!" Hang Shiqi felt sleepy when he talked about this. He talked happily about how he was soul-washed, how he pretended to have amnesia, how he met Ao Wu who came to save him, and how he blew up the cocoon rat's underground palace with him.
process.
After he finished speaking, Hexian added: "That piece of crane feather on the body does have the ability to protect the soul, and it has indeed disappeared."
"Ah, yes!" Hang Shiqi then remembered that he had lost the token given to him: "Grandpa Hexian, I lost the token. Can I still go to Kunshan to find you in the future to save my life?"
Hexian didn't care much about that feather: "As long as what you say is true, you will still be Kunshan's guest."
Hang Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to tell the story of the escape. When talking about rescuing the young master of the lord's family, he also focused on introducing the cocoon rat's new ability, resurrection.
"Are you saying that the cocoon rat stole the bodies of other orcs and kept them in cocoons for a period of time, so that the soul can take control of the body and resurrect it?" The armored bear took a breath, if this is true.
, then it will be even more difficult to identify cocoon rats from the crowd.
Hang Shiqi: "Yes, and they are already doing this?"
"What's there to worry about? Isn't Hexian able to discern souls? If there really is such a person, Hexian would be able to spot it at a glance?" Miao Sheng raised his eyelids and said.
Hang Shiqi glanced at Yun Wulan warily: "I'm afraid not. Yun Wulan had some kind of soul shadow bead before, which could hide it from the Crane Clan's detection in a short period of time."
Yun Wulan: "I don't have such a bead. It was obviously fabricated by you to explain why you left the other courtyard. Besides, whether the cocoon rat really has the ability to resurrect from the dead is all just your opinion."
Hang Shiqi said anxiously: "This is not just one-sided words. I have witnesses. The young master of the lord of Lieyang City was captured by the cocoon rat. Later, the lord of Lieyang City rescued him according to the position I told him."
Feng Motong narrowed her eyes: "I brought the young master from Lieyang City today. Someone, bring Bao Chen up."
Bao Chen looked the same as he did in Lieyang City, with his back hunched, he carefully raised his eyes to look at the people around the table, then quickly lowered his head, shrinking back as if he was frightened by the battle:
"I am Bao Chen."
The Armored Bear King looked at him and asked Hang Shiqi: "Do you know him?"
Hang Shiqi nodded: "I know him, he is Bao Chen. After the city lord rescued him, we met once in Lieyang City."
Bao Chen glanced at Hang Shiqi timidly, but as if he didn't recognize him anymore, he retorted in a low voice: "What kind of rescue? I escaped back to Lieyang City by myself, and I have never seen you."
"What did you say?" Hang Shiqi almost jumped up from his chair.
Bao Chen was startled and hid behind, looking at Feng Mo Tong helplessly.
The latter comforted him: "Don't be afraid. Tell him everything you know. He can't do anything to you."
Hang Shiqi laughed angrily at their behavior: Hey? You co-wrote the bad guy and let me act alone?
Bao Chen: "I was captured by a cocoon rat three years ago. Together with others, I was imprisoned in a mine to dig stones. We worked there for three years."
"Digging stones? Aren't you locked in a cocoon?" the Iron Bear King confirmed.
Bao Chen nodded: "It's digging stones. It seems to be a very precious ore for cocoons. What's it called, Yuan Yu!"
The Armored Bear King nodded. Yuan Yu already knew that cocoon rats were used to summon and make cocoon orcs. Bao Chen said that it made sense for him to dig Yuan Yu, but it was slightly different from what Hang Qi said: "You
continue."
"Later the underground palace collapsed, His Highness Feng Motong rescued me and other brothers from the mine. After he found out that I was the son of the lord of Lieyang City, he sent someone to deliver a message to Lieyang City and asked my father to come and pick him up. My father is very fond of me.
I'm so happy to hold a celebration party for me in the city, but I didn't expect..." Bao Chen trembled, his eyes full of fear, as if he thought of something terrible.
The Iron Bear King urged: "What didn't you expect?"
Bao Chen swallowed his saliva and managed to calm down: "I didn't expect that just after the celebration, he was killed and his body was missing. Those people wanted to kill me, so I tried my best to escape."
"The Lord of Lieyang City is dead?" Hang Shiqi was a little surprised. He still remembered the uncle who loved his son so much, but he didn't expect that when his son was found, he would be dead?
Feng Motong glanced at him: "Hang Shiqi, there's no need to pretend to be stupid. The day the Lord of Lieyang City died happened to be the time for you to leave Lieyang City, and you heard it, right? Bao Chen testified, that day the explosion
I am the one who destroyed the underground palace. Your story is very exciting, but it really makes people believe that your two wolf kings blew up the huge underground palace. Isn’t it too insulting to the brains of everyone here?"
Miao Sheng had been lying on the conference table yawning like he was boneless. Hearing this, he lazily raised his head and stared at Feng Motong with dissatisfaction: "Feng Motong, the underground palace is in the southeast of my Nanxia, you run so far
What are you doing away from home?"
"Of course I found clues, in order to trace the traces of the cocoon rat." Feng Motong counterattacked not to be outdone: "Instead of questioning me here, the Liger King should first explain why the cocoon rat's underground palace appears in Nanxia, right?"
"What should I explain? I want to know that they are in Nanxia. How can I tolerate them until now? Feng Motong, do you also want to label me as a colluder with cocoon rats?" Miao Sheng raised his head: "I told you
You, no matter whether the cocoon rat is hiding in Nanxia or not, Nanxia is not a place you can send people to come in whenever you want. If you don’t need the bird’s wings, I can pout them for you, so that you don’t have to fly to other people’s houses all day long to poop.”
Feng Mo Tong's expression turned ugly after being scolded: "I am doing this for everyone, if I don't go..."
Miao Sheng said quickly: "If you didn't go to Southern Xia and deliberately ordered people to block the road back to the north, Hang Shiqi and Ao Wu wouldn't have to hide all the way back, and you wouldn't have the chance to show off your power on other people's territory.
I've been here for three days and was beaten back to my hometown long ago. Feng Motong, do you think I'm blind? I'm just too lazy to do anything. It doesn't mean I don't know. You can just open your mouth here."
Hang Shiqi felt a little happy after hearing this. He got the advantage and obediently whispered in Ao Wu's ear: "I feel like I lost. My quarrel was not as fierce as Miao Sheng's."
Ao Wu pinched his ears and said, "When the ligers and tigers hunt, they will patiently follow their prey, observe, wait, and then find the right opportunity to kill them with one blow."
"So?" Hang Shiqi didn't understand why Ao Wu suddenly mentioned this.
Ao Wu: "Miao Sheng should have noticed that Feng Motong brought people into Nanxia. He has been holding back and said nothing. On the one hand, he wanted to see Feng Motong's purpose, and on the other hand, he probably waited to see the Fire Yu clan and Shuang first.
When the wolf fights, the fishermen will benefit. Although this is a good idea, it is a pity that Miao Sheng has a short temper, but he is not a person who is good at patience."
Hang Shiqi nodded as if he had some understanding: "So he was... ordered to explode by Feng Mo Tong?"
Ao Wu was amused: "Absolutely."
"Hey, you two, do you think the others can't hear you?" Miao Sheng patted the table dissatisfied.
Hang Shiqi didn't feel guilty at all, and shouted loudly: "You deserve it, who told you not to stand up earlier, just to watch the fun."
Ao Wu also looked at Miao Sheng and said in a transactional tone: "At least I can help you get rid of the hidden danger of the cocoon rat. His Highness the Liger King comes out to say something fair. How about we settle this favor?"
"Okay!" Miao Sheng didn't like to owe others favors. Since Ao Wu said this, he didn't feel any loss. Anyway, he had already made it clear to Feng Mo Tong, so he might as well say it all.
"Feng Motong, do you think I'm blind? You really think that I, Nanxia, is your Valley of Flames and can let you do whatever you want. Let me tell you, I have already sent people to keep an eye on your every move."
"The Cocoon Rat has always been entrenched in the Suqiu Mountain area. I really don't know about this. The Cocoon Rat killed the original lord of Suqiu Mountain and bribed the people above it, because originally Suqiu Mountain was a small territory with no sense of existence in Nanxia. Then
The lord doesn't like to interact with others either, but I never found out."
"But I know that you entered Nanxia. When you arrived at Suqiu Mountain, it had been bombed. Later, you sent people to search for traces of Ao Wu and Hang Qi around the area. Finally, when the lord of Lieyang City rescued Bao Chen
At that time, I found a clue. You did not go, but left some people to block the way back to the north. While declaring war on Ao Wu, you hurried back to the Flame Valley. Do you dare to recognize what I said?
?”
Of course Feng Motong didn't dare, but she said: "Of course I won't admit anything I haven't done. I just didn't expect that the mighty Southern Xia Liger King would actually collude with the Cocoon Rat."
These words completely angered Miao Sheng, and he said furiously: "You are colluding with those stinky rats. You don't admit it, right? Do you think I have no evidence? Go and call my witnesses."
Not long after, a man came in and saluted Miao Sheng: "Your Majesty."
"Are you from Miao Sheng?!" Hang Shiqi glared at the janitor in front of him.
The janitor smiled shyly at Hang Shiqi: "I'm hiding in the city."
Hang Shiqi sighed sincerely: "Your acting skills are so good. I can't tell that your usual money-grubbing philistine demeanor is just an act."
Gatekeeper: "Because before I worked as an informant for the king, I was the gatekeeper. Life is not easy, so you can make some extra money, you understand."
Hang Shiqi turned to look at Miao Sheng: "You deducted wages from your subordinates? Look at what they've done."
Miao Sheng said angrily: "I still deducted his wages? I gave him the inn where you stayed."
Hang Shiqi then asked the janitor again: "You are already the boss, why do you have the nerve to call yourself poor?"
The janitor said confidently: "There is no time when money is too much."
"Let's stop talking," the Iron Bear King interrupted the happy reminiscing of the past: "What does the Liger King want to prove when he is sent here?"
"Of course it proves that someone is talking nonsense." Miao Sheng directed the janitor: "Tell them what happened at that time."
"Yes." The caretaker straightened his back. At this time, he lost his usual philistine appearance. He was gentle and shrewd: "His Royal Highness the Wolf King and Hang Shiqi checked into my shop. Not long after, Cocoon Rat discovered this place and sent them away.
If you approach the Wolf King and fail to seduce him, it will be like arresting someone directly. Unexpectedly, the Wolf King and Hang Shiqi managed to escape, but Li Ruo's evil deeds of colluding with Cocoon Rat and stealing the bodies of other orcs over the years were made public."
"Liruo's ex-husbands were all prominent figures in Nanxia. These people disappeared and died not long after He Liruo got married. In fact, they did not really die, but had their bodies stolen by cocoon rats.
Just like Bao Chen, what Li Ruo used was actually a kind of fake death medicine..."
Feng Moyu interjected: "It's getting more and more outrageous. The Cocoon Rats are just a weak ethnic group, so why are they being resurrected and using a fake-death drug? That's too powerful, isn't it?"
The janitor sighed: "It's true. Bao Chen and Priest Tong's men have seen it with their own eyes."
Feng Motong and Bao Chen seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions changed slightly.
Janitor: "That's right, there is still a surplus of that fake death drug in Li Ruo. After we found it, we used it to replace the heart-breaking poison that you originally used on Lieyang City Lord. Mr. Bao Chen, let me call him that.
You, after all, I don’t know which cocoon rat your true identity is. Now that you are here, things will be much easier to handle. As long as we can find a way to prove that you are a resurrected cocoon rat, then no matter whether you are a cocoon rat,
The matter of the rat's resurrection, or the collusion between Feng Motong and the cocoon rat, will all come to light."
