The three of them were imprisoned in a stone cave respectively, with Eve in the middle, Qining and Dandu Gu on the left and right.
As soon as Qi Ning entered, he knew that it was extremely difficult to get out. The cave was surrounded by rocks on three sides, and only the iron railing side could allow entry and exit.
The prison wolf wall is obviously a carefully designed place in Shangshui Cave. The iron bars are made of fine iron and are locked with iron locks. If the cold blade is in hand, Qining still feels that there is some chance to break out. Now he wants to get out of the cage with his bare hands. , that is whimsical.
In addition, three strong Miao people were left to guard here. The wooden house was the guard's room. The main entrance faced the stone wall prison. People inside could notice every move in the stone prison.
Eve was sitting in the stone prison, feeling anxious. She didn't care about her own safety, but when she thought that King Damiao would be in such an unexpected situation, what would happen next would be very unlucky, and she was extremely troubled.
Qining leaned against the stone wall. It was dark at night, and one of the three guards was always wandering around.
I don’t know how long it took, but I suddenly heard Eve’s voice: “Dandu Gu, are you asleep?”
Eve was in the stone prison next door, and in the quiet night, Qining could hear her very clearly.
"How can you still sleep at this time?" Dandu Gu said calmly: "When you met King Damiao, didn't you see any suspicious movement?"
What he said was as if he didn't believe that King Damiao was killed by the two Eves.
"When we arrived outside King Miao's house, we found nothing." Eve said, "We didn't dare to enter the house without permission. We called several times, but King Miao never agreed. Just when we felt strange, Langchatulu took people with him. The patrol arrived there, and Langchatulu was the first person to enter the house to see King Dao Miao being killed."
Dandu said: "Did you keep that murder weapon in your residence?"
"That's right." Eve said: "One person said that if we want to see the King of Miao, we can't bring weapons, so we don't dare to bring weapons with us." After a pause, she said: "The most important thing is the person who takes us to see the King of Miao. The person suddenly disappeared, if he is present, he can bear witness to us."
Qining sighed and said: "Eve, Dandu Gu, you still don't understand what's going on? Or do you know it in your heart, but you just don't dare to say it? They have locked us up, can we leave alive? With this door, you can't even guess."
"Does Langchatulu dare to take action against us?" Eve said coldly: "Does he still dare to kill us?"
Qi Ning said: "If a person doesn't even care about killing his own father, do you think he will care about killing a few more people?"
Dandu Gu said in a deep voice: "What did you say? You mean...!"
"Dandu Gu, you are a smart man, can't you still see what happened tonight?" Qining leaned on the stone wall and said slowly: "When I visited the Damiao King during the day, my sharp blade was picked up by someone. Chatulu is keeping an eye on us, and tonight someone falsely conveyed the order of the Miao King to visit us, but specifically told us to leave our weapons behind. As soon as we left, someone stole our weapons from our backs."
Dandu Gu said in a deep voice: "The place where you live is not easily disturbed."
"You are right, so the person who can steal the weapons knows the house where we live." Qining said: "When we arrived at the Damiao King, the person who led the way disappeared immediately. At that time, I I knew something was wrong and when I wanted to leave, Langchatulu showed up with someone, hey, don’t you think that’s such a coincidence?”
Dandu said: "Maybe things really are such a coincidence."
"If you think so, I have nothing to say." Qining smiled lightly, "But we met at the foot of the mountain yesterday. Did you tell Langchatulu?"
"No!"
Qining said: "But Langchadulu seems to know not only that we met at the foot of the mountain last night, but also what happened when we met by the river before. Dandu Gu, this brother of yours seems to be really aware of your whereabouts." I'm very concerned about it." He snorted and said, "What happened tonight is not necessarily directed at me and Eve. Eve and I were just designed to be tools. Langchatulu's target seems to be you. .”
Dandu Gu did not speak this time and became silent.
Eve asked: "Are you saying that Langchatulu deliberately wanted to wrongly accuse Dandu Gu and put the responsibility for the murder of the Miao King on Dandu Gu?"
"With my weapons as physical evidence, Langchatulu and his gang have put the blame on the two of us for assassinating the Miao King." Qining said: "But his ultimate goal is to take advantage of this This is an opportunity to drag Dandu Gu into the water, at least let others know that we were sent by Dandu Gu to assassinate King Damiao."
Eve said: "Dandugu and he are brothers, is he really so crazy about the position of the Miao King?" After a pause, he wondered: "If this is true, why would he choose this time? "
Qi Ning said: "Maybe becoming the King of Damiao is not his ultimate goal this time."
"What do you mean by this?" Dandu Gu said in a deep voice, "What else does he want to do?"
Qi Ning thought for a moment and then said: "Dandu Gu, regarding this black cave incident, there has been no movement in the major Miao caves. Of course, it is because the Miao King did not issue an order."
"That's right." Dan Dugu said: "Without the order of King Damiao, no cave will act rashly."
"This may be the crux." Qining sighed: "Let's look back and think about the Black Cave incident now. If the officers and soldiers just wanted to wipe out the Black Cave, there would be no need to delay it until now. I am even doubting one thing now. Fu, the reason why you broke out from Black Rock Ridge is probably not because of how powerful you are, but maybe someone just wants you to leave."
"What?" Eve was startled: "Someone let us go on purpose?"
Qi Ning said: "This is just my guess, I'm not sure." After thinking for a moment, he said: "Maybe some people just hope that you can come to Xishan to see the Miao King."
"That's not right." Eve said immediately: "If they really let us break out on purpose and let us see the Miao King, why did they send people to chase us along the way?"
Qi Ning thoughtfully said, "Maybe it's a plan to kill two birds with one stone."
Both Eve and Dandu Gu were obviously a little confused. Eve asked: "What's the plan of killing two birds with one stone?"
"Eve, let me ask you, what is your brother Bayali thinking now?" Qining asked: "Does he really want to fight to the end with the officers and soldiers?"
Eve immediately said: "If the officers and soldiers attack Heiyan Ridge, not only brother, but also the entire six villages of Heiyan Cave, old and young, will fight to the end."
"But as long as there is a glimmer of hope for peace talks that can wash away your grievances, your brother will certainly not watch the Black Cave collapse. Is this true?"
Eve thought for a moment and then said: "Not bad."
"Then let me ask you, if you were killed on the way to Xishan, and the other party even sent your body back to Black Rock Ridge, what would your brother choose?" Qining's voice was solemn.
Eve did not speak this time, but Dandu Gu already said: "I know Bayeli a little bit, and I also know that you brothers and sisters have a good relationship. If you are really killed, peace talks with the officers and soldiers will not be possible. .Bayeli is only being wronged now, but if you die, he will definitely rebel."
"That's right." Qi Ning sighed: "So someone wants to hunt you down, probably to cut off the way for Black Rock Ridge to negotiate with the imperial court and push both parties into a desperate situation." He sneered: "But if you can avoid the pursuit, , escaped death and came to Xishan, no matter whether the Miao King will send troops or not, the Miao King will also be involved, right?"
Dandu Bone said: "In fact, after the Black Rock Ridge was surrounded, King Damiao began to think of countermeasures to quell this dispute."
"When Eve came to Xishan and brought out the truth, there will definitely be people here in Shangshui Cave who are resentful of the government." Qining said lightly: "Just like in Dazhai, Langchatulu and many people Insisting on the Miao King to send troops seems to be filled with righteous indignation, and from an emotional point of view, it is reasonable for Heiyan Cave to be framed and surrounded, and the Miao family to send troops to rescue the caves."
Dandu Gu seemed to understand something and asked: "Are you trying to say that there is another hidden reason why Langchatulu insisted on letting the Miao King send troops?"
"I don't know if there is any hidden secret. I only know that the Miao King is extremely wise and has a far-sighted vision." Qining said: "If it were a person with an impulsive temperament, he might call all the Miao clan's caves, gather troops and horses, and report to the government. Applying pressure. But King Damiao knew that this would definitely bring huge disasters to all the Miao caves. Perhaps Xichuan would fall into chaos and war from now on, so he wanted to use the most peaceful means to resolve the matter. "
Dandu Gu said: "Yes, the Damiao King has to consider the entire Miao family's caves and will not act on impulse." After a pause, he said: "Actually, last night, the Damiao King summoned the leaders of each village. Before summoning you, We have already had discussions, and five of the six leaders agreed with Langchatulu’s suggestion to summon troops and horses to show our strength to the court.”
Qi Ning sighed and said: "If I guessed correctly that King Damiao was killed, it was because of his wisdom. If he had agreed to send troops, maybe... the result would not have been this."
Eve immediately said: "Are you saying that King Damiao was killed because someone wanted to disobey his order?"
"The arrangement of the Damiao King is actually the best way to deal with it at the moment." Qi Ning said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that some people don't want to see the Damiao King use such peaceful means to solve the problem. What they want to see is the swordsmanship, so The arrangement of the Damiao King hindered their plan. In this situation, they can only kill the Damiao King." He sneered: "Dandu Gu, your idea is the same as the Dammiao King. You are not willing to send troops without authorization, so of course you can do it. I have become a thorn in their side, and I just took this opportunity to kill the Miao King and drag you into the water, killing two birds with one stone. Do you think we can still survive in this situation?"
