There are always some people in this world who you can't really care about in whatever you do. For Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin, Xia Dong is such an existence. So even though the two of them sank their faces and showed unhappy expressions, they still didn't dare to really complain.
"Come on, let me see where the poison you used to kill yourself is hidden?" Xia Dong squatted down, lifted the killer commander on the ground, squeezed his chin that had been removed, and it hurt so much The man stomped his feet and his face was as pale as wax, "Tsk tsk, it's still hidden in the teeth, it's really uncreative, can't it be changed to another place?"
Although her tone was relaxed, Xiao Yan, who was listening to the side, couldn't help being shocked and looked at each other.
The killer who will commit suicide immediately if he misses capture is already the most senior dead man in the industry. Not only is it hard to find, but the price is also extremely high. What kind of investigation results Xia Dong has achieved in Binzhou will make people jump over the wall to such a degree. Where is it
"There's no way to ask questions like this, I still have to take out the poison sac," Xia Dongli ignored the discoloration of the two people beside him, and studied how to take out the poison sac between the killer's teeth so that he could hold his chin. Go back for questioning. Most women were born clean, even Xia Dong, who was often mistaken for a handsome man, was no exception. She pinched the man's chin and watched for a long time, but she couldn't figure out how to take out the poison sac without sticking her finger in it. Method, the last one was impatient, he raised his arm and punched the man on the side of the face, only to hear a muffled groan. At the same time as the killer spat out a mouthful of blood, a few teeth and a small intestinal sac also appeared. was spat out.
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin looked at each other for the second time, and their faces turned even blue. Sure enough, she is still the true nature of a witch, her ruthlessness is not worse than that of the past...
Xia Dong wiped the back of his hand on his clothes as if nothing had happened, and put the killer's chin back in place with two clicks, but he didn't rush to ask questions. Instead, he grabbed one of the man's wrist and twisted it hard. His wrists were all shattered, his muscles and bones were broken, and the pain was so painful that the other party couldn't cry out. He could only breathe in with his mouth wide open like a dying fish.
"How dare you look at me like this?" Xia Dong sneered, picked up the man's other hand, and squeezed it all the way up his wrist, only to hear the sound of broken bones, and squeezed this forearm as if it were soft Mud-like, the man passed out with a shriek, and was woken up in pain not long after.
"Sister Xia Dong!" Although he knew that the other party was a villain who would kill without blinking an eye, Xiao Jingrui was still a little disgusted, "Stop it, it's too... Besides, don't you want to ask questions? It won't work if you torture him to death. All right… "
"Yeah, I almost forgot if you didn't say it," Xia Dong grabbed the killer's hair with a sneer, lifted his head, stared directly into his eyes, and his tone was cold, "Compared to asking questions, I would I prefer to be tortured, but don't answer too cheerfully, it makes me less fun in torture..."
"Sister Xia Dong..." Xiao Jingrui wanted to say more, but was dragged aside by Yan Yujin, and dissuaded, "Don't worry about it, the hanging mirror has its own set of methods, we can't get involved."
"Is this torture effective?"
"The other party is a life-threatening killer, don't be ruthless, I'm afraid you won't be able to ask a word. You can't get used to it, just don't read it. How can things in this world be gentle and courteous?" Yan Yu Jin looked back and sighed, "It seems that Duke Qing's case is not that simple. I don't know how much trouble it will cause."
"I think it's a bit strange," Xiao Jingrui said with a frown, "everyone knows that hanging mirrors are not easy to mess with. Send a killer of today's level to hunt down Hu Gong and Hu Po, how can they still escape into the Jiangzuo realm... Now that the imperial order has also been presented, and the Xuanjing envoy has also acted according to a secret order, only people are eager to silence it. Isn't it easy to ask for hardship?"
"Maybe Qing Guogong didn't know about it at first..." Yan Yujin thought for a while and said, "The people at Binzhou may think they can figure out a way to deal with it, but the person who should be notified didn't notify them either. I intervened in the middle to help the plaintiff, and the plaintiff went to Beijing to file a lawsuit. Those who were involved were a little panicked..."
Xiao Jingrui shook his head and said, "If Duke Qing didn't know about it at first, then it would be a charge of condoning relatives. Why would you kill the Mirror Envoy for this?"
"Maybe Xia Dongjie found something else in Binzhou, maybe the person who hunted her down has nothing to do with Duke Qing, maybe her temper went out and made a new enemy," Yan Yujin shrugged, "There are too many possibilities, I I don't like to think about it, it's annoying, let Sister Xia Dong worry about it, and when she finds it out, we'll go directly to ask the answer, so you don't have to guess here."
"Ah!" Xiao Jingrui suddenly exclaimed, and Yan Yujin was taken aback. Following his line of sight, Xia Dong threw the limp body of the killer on the ground like a dead dog, and touched it from his arms. He took out a silk scarf to wipe his hands, and his two eyebrows, which were curved like a crescent moon, were gathered together.
"What's wrong?" Yan Yujin asked.
Xiao Jingrui looked a little solemn, and slowly answered two words: "Dead."
"Xiao Rui has good eyesight," Xia Dong gave a slanted look, "he is indeed dead. It's a pity that I wasted so many hands and feet to catch him, but I didn't expect that he was also smeared with huge poison under his lips and stretched his tongue. He died after licking it, it was disgusting, and he wasn't afraid of accidentally licking it when he didn't want to die..."
"Then what did you ask?" Yan Yujin took a few steps closer, looked at the bruised and terrifying corpse's face on the ground, and quickly turned his eyes aside, "He is a leader anyway, and there is always something in his mouth. clues."
"He only said four words..." Xia Dong said blankly, "It's not over."
"What's the meaning?"
"It means that this matter is not over yet." Xia Dongfei kicked the corpse several feet away and scolded, "Damn, he was also used to tell me that it was not over, this way provoked me, even if they wanted to end it. I don't want to!"
"Sister Xia Dong..." Yan Yujin wiped the cold sweat, "You are a woman, you can't swear, it's too inelegant..."
"Yo," Xia Dong approached with a charming smile, her brows and eyes full of charm, "Young Master Xiaoyan has grown up and knows what a woman is. Come and tell my sister, how do women talk to you?"
Yan Yujin took a few steps back and hid behind Xiao Jingrui, not knowing how much he regretted his quick speech, he said with a smile, "Nothing, our sister Xia Dong is beautiful, smart and capable, and she is the most amazing woman in Daliang."
Xia Dong sneered a few times and said, "Where am I the most amazing, I heard that the most amazing woman is finally going to recruit a relative? How is the situation now, have you recruited?"
Yan Yujin was very surprised for a while, and when he looked at Xiao Jingrui, his expression was equally astonished.
In fact, since leaving the Shuren Yard, the two have not had the chance to meet Xia Dong very often, so I don't know what she thinks of Princess Nihuang. But in any case, Nihuanggui is the county lord and is well known for her noble conduct.
"Why, doesn't Sister Xia Dong like Princess Nihuang?" Xiao Jingrui couldn't help but ask.
"It doesn't matter if I like it or not?" Xia Dong's tone was still cold and hard, but for some reason, it made people feel a little desolate and sad, "She is a strange woman and should have married long ago. Ten years ago I I told her when I went to help her in the camp that as long as she got married, I would consider her a good friend."
The more they listened, the more confused they became. They didn't know what Xia Dong's attitude towards the Princess Nihuang was. After staying for a long time, Yan Yujin asked in a low voice, "Then what Sister Xia Dong means is that the Princess will not marry for a day. You didn't recognize her as a good friend for a day?"
"That's right."
"Why is that? Do women make friends because they want to get married?"
Xia Dong glanced at the two of them coldly, and said, "You are too young, you don't know many things. It has nothing to do with you anyway, don't ask any more."
"We are too young?" Yan Yujin shouted, "How old is the county master?"
"Changes often happen in the blink of an eye, and sometimes a year can become a lifetime." Xia Dong looked straight ahead, his cheeks were pale, and a few strands of hair were stuck between his neck. Although his expression did not change, his whole body suddenly increased. Feeling a little weak, "she didn't know too much about what happened back then, but she was the party involved, so she couldn't break free. But you are different... You are completely on the outside, and the past is like being blocked by heavy snow. In the deep mountains, it is difficult for unrelated outsiders to enter, why should you pursue it just because of curiosity?"
Xiao Yan and the two looked at each other in dismay, but they still didn't understand, but they already said don't ask again, so it's not easy to chase after them. What's more, the person standing in front of her is the female devil of the Shuren Yuan, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous.
"You haven't said yet, what kind of husband did the county lord choose?" Xia Dong shook his head, his dazzling white hair flashed in the blue silk, as if throwing off the memories that just flooded his mind, "This way In large-scale competitions, you can always pick a few good people out, right?"
"It hasn't been decided yet. There will be a literary test tomorrow." Yan Yujin sighed, "But she still has to compete with Princess Nihuang. If you lose, there is no hope. I don't think any of the selected people is her opponent. , I didn't find anyone she liked very much, it seems that she doesn't plan to marry this time."
The corners of Xia Dong's lips were slightly raised, and he teased: "Look at you, are you still a little unconvinced?"
"It was originally," Yan Yujin raised his chin, "What's wrong with me, why doesn't she think about it seriously?"
"You're actually very good..." It's rare that Xia Dong didn't throw cold water on him, "But for Nihuang, you are a little younger, she is already a military commander on her own, and she probably only looks better than her in her eyes. Mature people."
Yan Yujin sighed exaggeratedly, and sighed bitterly: "I was born before you, I am old when I was born..."
"Hey," Xiao Jingrui kicked him dumbfoundedly, "don't think about it, who are you saying is old?"
"Ah," Yan Yujin hurriedly covered his mouth, "It's wrong, it's wrong, it's time to fight. But you can understand what I mean, it's a pity that I didn't give birth a few years earlier... If I were the same age as Brother Su now, The princess won't just treat me like a little brother..."
"Don't talk about Brother Su," Xiao Jingrui glared at him, "Brother Su is more mature and stable than you because of age?"
"Yes, in your eyes, of course no one can compare to Brother Su. But what exactly does he think of the county master? Does the county master have any other intentions for him besides admiration? I can't see it..." Yan Yujin originally wanted to sigh about what happened at the Wuying Hall today, remembering that Xia Dong was the envoy with the hanging mirror in front of the car, and this matter involved Gong Wei, not to mention that Mei Changsu had been reluctant to explain more, only that there would be a natural event tomorrow. The news came out for everyone to know, and I think it was a little secretly involved, so it's better not to talk about it.
"Don't think nonsense," Xiao Jingrui respected Mei Changsu as a close brother after all. He didn't want anyone to talk about him behind his back, and he was worried that Yan Yujin would be happy with what happened after the emperor left today. Saying it out will add unnecessary trouble to Mei Changsu, so he immediately stopped him and said, "Sister Xia Dong just came back, you can say something serious, can't you tell me the information about the ten candidates?"
"I'm not interested in any candidate who is definitely out," Xia Dong said lightly, "but this brother Su attracts attention. When I was lying on the grass, I listened to the two of you talking about him non-stop, okay? It looks like a character. Why, does this person have some talent, so he came to the capital with ambition to pursue fame and fortune?"
"Brother Su is not such a person!" Xiao Jingrui was very unhappy, "Sister Xia Dong doesn't know him, how can you make a rash assertion."
"It seems that you respect him very much," Xia Dong's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "What's wrong with not knowing him? I will get to know him. All the princes and kings are vying for him, but his worth is more expensive than Ni. The Queen of Phoenix is even taller. With such a character appearing in the capital, as a hanging mirror, how can you not take a good look at it."
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin looked at each other nervously, and communicated with their eyes for a while. Finally, the uncle and son took a step forward and said sternly, "Since Sister Xia Dong mentioned it, we have to explain it. The conversation you heard just now. Most of them are our guesses, some of them are still awkward with friends, angry words when they are unhappy. Brother Su is a friend of the two of us, and he has not done any wrongdoing after entering Beijing. Prejudice against him..."
"Don't worry," Xia Dong looked at the serious expressions of the two young people in front of him, and couldn't help but smile, "Of course we have to check first. We won't say anything in the emperor's ear, and being a hanging mirror is a rumor. people?"
Of course, this answer still sounds unsatisfactory, but if it is forced to say more, I am afraid it will increase Xia Dong's interest in Mei Changsu, not to mention all the things that should be heard and should not be heard, so I can only blame If you are not vigilant enough, you can't blame others for being overhearted.
"It seems that there will be no more uninvited guests today." Xia Dong saw the expressions of the two of them in his eyes, but he didn't care. Give me a ride, you two ride Xiao Rui's horse."
"Ah," Yan Yujin complained bitterly, "We two big men huddled together on a horse..."
"Come over and ride with me," Xia Dong said with a light smile, "Who is coming?"
The two young men turned pale and shook their heads vigorously at the same time.
"Then I'll have to grieve you. Xiao Rui, bring the horse here."
Xiao Jingrui obediently led the mount that was grazing freely with its head bowed down, handed over the rein, and whispered, "Sister Xia Dong, do you want to wrap your wound first? It seems that some blood is oozing out..."
"It's up to you to be considerate and attentive in the end," Xia Dong smiled slightly, "It's okay, let's deal with it thoroughly after entering the city."
"Sister Xia Dong is really injured?" Yan Yujin raised his head with concern, "Where is the injury?"
Xia Dong stretched his fingers and flicked his forehead: "Stinky boy, did you know that? These killers are not fuel-efficient lamps. Besides, if you don't really show them some blood, how could it be so easy to attract this dead man with a shriveled head?"
Xiao Jingrui glanced at the corpse a few feet away, and frowned, "Is this person okay?"
"A dead man who won't speak again, but it's like a scrap knife thrown away by the master, what do you pick it up for?" Xia Dong's tone was cold, "Go back and let Jingzhao Yinfu send someone to drag it and bury it. , being here is annoying enough."
"That's the only way. The killer's body must be very clean, and there probably won't be any clues. Let's go." Yan Yujin pulled on the saddle and turned on his back. Xiao Jingrui also jumped on the horse and sat on him. Behind him, he happily threw the reins backwards, no matter what.
"Hey, I don't have any bones. You're quite comfortable." Xiao Jingrui scolded with a smile, but he didn't care too much. At this time, the feet of the sun were already sloping to the west, and with the slight neighing of the horses, the three of them rode their long shadows and went straight to the gate of the royal capital.
