The masked maid brought a small medicine box, and kept going out of Lanting Courtyard, then out of the Princess Mansion, and went straight to the side door of Xuanping Marquis Mansion, where she probably planned to cross the wall from there.
The Hou Mansion was heavily guarded, and patrolling guards walked past with swords from time to time.
Finally, the maid came under the fence.
The Marquis of Xuanping was the first Marquis of Zhao Kingdom, and the walls of his mansion were taller than those of ordinary people. Of course, for the maids, this was not a problem.
Holding the small medicine box, the maid jumped up easily, her toes jumped out of the house a little from the fence.
However, as soon as he landed, something unexpected happened.
A huge net descended from the sky, covering the maid with head and face.
The maid's response was also fast, she quickly pulled out the dagger around her waist, and slashed the big net with one knife, but with just such a movement, a row of spears were placed on her neck!
It was just a group of guards, the maid didn't take them seriously, but the next second, the maid did not dare to act rashly.
Because just outside, more than a hundred archers pulled their long bows, and the icy arrows aimed at him.
This is not a one-on-one or one-to-many fight, this is an absolute tactical crush, and no master can easily escape.
The maid held a dagger in one hand and a small medicine box in the other, her eyes were cold, and she was thinking about how to deal with it. Behind the archer, a dozen secret guards held torches, surrounded by a man in a white crescent robe. Come.
The archers gave way in an orderly manner, and after the men entered the encirclement, they quickly closed the formation.
The firelight shone on the young man's face, and the maid recognized him, her eyes trembling fiercely.
Xiao Heng stopped at a distance of about ten steps from the maid, looked at him coldly, and said indifferently, "It really didn't disappoint me."
"you… "
Just as the maid was about to say something, she immediately covered her mouth.
Xiao Heng smiled lightly: "No need to pretend, I recognized you earlier, Elder Li."
As soon as Elder Li came out, the maid's body froze, and she almost subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face.
Xiao Heng said indifferently, "The human skin mask hasn't fallen off."
The maid went to touch the (anti-harmony) chest again.
Xiao Heng said, "It didn't fall either."
The maid was only about to go bird scouting.
Xiao Heng's face darkened: "Stop!"
Maid... No, Li Jiangping to be exact.
He frowned and looked at Xiao Heng in shock, Xiao Heng's expression was calm and calm, without a trace of doubt, it could be seen that he was certain of his identity.
There is no point in denying it.
He said solemnly, "How did you guess that?"
Xiao Heng said coldly: "It's very simple, you showed your flaws from the very beginning."
Li Jiangping frowned: "I don't understand."
Xiao Heng raised his finger, and an accompanying dark guard took out a handkerchief from his arms, opened it and handed it to Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng pinched the iron nail that had already dried up with blood on it, and said, "You were injured because a nail on the top accidentally pierced your palm while carrying the dowry. You did nail the nail into the box when you were doing the show. Here's the problem. These dowry gifts are very expensive, and you gave up the waterway to keep out the moisture. This measure apparently worked, the rest of the nails were all dry and intact, but this one was rusted. And its holes are new, look It must have been nailed up. You might say, I just patched a nail, but I think no one will patch a rusty nail.”
Li Jiangping never expected that he would make such a negligence.
No, it's not negligence.
This is very seamless, because this guy is too perverted, his mind is too meticulous, and even such a clue has not escaped his eyes.
Li Jiangping gritted his teeth: "Just a rust nail?"
"More than that." Xiao Heng said, "When Chang Jing told you not to spread Gu Jiao's medical skills, do you remember what you said?"
"Everyone is innocent, but he is guilty. I understand, don't worry."
The words flashed through his mind at that time, and Li Jiangping didn't understand where his flaws were: "What's wrong with this sentence?"
Xiao Heng said lightly: "You didn't notice it yourself, before you said this, you glanced at the small medicine box on the table by wiping your sweat. So I'm very sure that the guilt in your mouth is guilty. , The wall refers to my wife's box. You were injured on purpose to test the medicine box in my wife's hand."
Is this guy a judge? Eyes are so poisonous!
Li Jiangping originally wanted to deny one or two, but now it seems impossible.
It's not good to be a teacher, this is definitely the fastest time to expose yourself.
What a hell!
He was obviously a guy who didn't understand martial arts, but for some reason, his eyes and aura were enough to overwhelm people's hearts.
All this happened so fast, Li Jiangping was stunned, and he had too little time to react and make a decision. He could only rely on the judgment of many years of martial arts to move towards Xiao Heng, the only one who did not know martial arts at the scene. Rush over!
The appearance of Xiao Heng happened to block the sight of a wave of archers for him. As long as he was fast enough, he could catch Xiao Heng and force these people to let him go.
As for the dark guard beside Xiao Heng, the mere three-legged cat's kung fu is no match for him at all!
Li Jiangping is a master of Dark Night Island, and his skill is beyond doubt.
His inner strength shook those secret guards, and his hand grabbed Xiao Heng's neck fiercely.
But seeing that he was about to succeed, on the big tree, someone who had been dormant for a long time hooked the corner of his lips in disdain, aimed at him, and pulled the trigger suddenly!
Only a loud bang was heard, and Li Jiangping was personally knocked away!
He slammed into the wall behind him heavily, and fell to the ground in a daze!
"Tsk."
Shangguan Qing on the branch frowned and seemed dissatisfied with his shot.
The shot just now hit the small medicine box in Li Jiangping's arms. He was not opened on the spot, but he was shocked.
He spit out a mouthful of blood.
This time, the steamed buns in the jacket really fell.
Shangguanqing's eyes are so hot that he doesn't want to.
Small headroom can sting me, but you can't.
He loaded up decisively.
This is a newly improved fire gun. The accuracy and speed have been improved, and the corresponding recoil is also much stronger. He is not quite used to it.
"I'll practice with you tonight."
He aimed at Li Jiangping's head.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and terrifying sword qi slashed into the sky, splitting back the dark guards of Xuanping Hou's mansion, and then a swordsman dressed in gray flew down and grabbed the ground. Li Jiangping quickly left the place.
The person's Qinggong was probably not under Gu Chengfeng's, and he disappeared without a trace with Li Jiangping in the blink of an eye.
Shangguan Qing jumped off the branch holding the new fire gun. He looked at the place where Li Jiangping fell, and then looked at Xiao Heng: "Aren't you going to chase?"
Xiao Heng looked at the direction the two were going away, and said, "No need."
Shangguan Qing carried the fire gun on his shoulders: "But they also took Jiaojiao's box."
That Li Jiangping's hand was fast, and he didn't forget to hug the small medicine box on the ground when he left.
"It's okay." Xiao Heng said.
Shangguan Qing said, "What do you mean it's okay? That box is very precious, isn't it? I just shot it down, but I didn't break it!"
Xiao Heng was not surprised by this.
Jiaojiao said that the small medicine box is not something in their world, and the medicine box may not be its body.
It's just that in their dimension, it can only come in this form.
Shangguan Qing hummed: "Is it really okay? If Jiaojiao wakes up and finds that the box is missing, she will definitely be angry. I see how you can coax your daughter-in-law!"
Xiao Heng smiled and did not continue the topic, but asked, "Are you all right? Are you injured?"
The recoil of the new fire gun is great.
Shangguan Qing rubbed his small chest muscles: "It's a little numb, but it's okay. By the way, what's going on with this Li Jiangping? Why did he steal Jiaojiao's medicine box? Who ordered him? Dark Night Island?"
Xiao Heng shook his head: "It's not Dark Night Island, it's Jianlu."
"Isn't Jianlu destroyed?" Shangguan Qing had learned from his father that Chang Jing and the others went to Jianlu Island to take revenge.
Xiao Heng said thoughtfully: "Now it seems that Jianlu is a trick to escape from the shell."
After Zi Shi, Marquis Xuanping and Chang Jing returned to their residence.
The enemies who had followed him for a few days were successfully executed by Chang Jing, and none of them escaped.
Sure enough, Chang Jing used it with ease.
"Huh? Why are you all here? Don't you need to sleep?"
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Marquis Xuan Ping saw the two sons who were talking at night in the main room.
Xiao Heng glanced at Chang Jing and told about Li Jiangping.
Xuanping Hou looked at Chang Jing.
Chang Jing was extremely surprised. If someone else said that, he would definitely not believe it, but the words came from Xiao Heng's mouth, and he was silent.
Marquis Xuanping snorted coldly and said, "It's not a good thing to look at."
Chang Jing retorted in a low voice: "Uncle Li is very good. He has always taken good care of me and my seven sisters. Every time I get into trouble, he is the one who intercedes for me."
The Marquis of Xuan Ping looked at him strangely: "If you don't beg for mercy, your father would be reluctant to punish you..."
Chang Jing was speechless.
With the facts in front of him, Marquis Xuanping would not speak for a bad guy who stole his daughter-in-law's medicine box: "So that Li Jiangping is just pretending to please you guys."
Chang Jing continued to retort weakly: "But this time it was he who persuaded my father that my father allowed me to propose marriage."
Xiao Heng analyzed Chang Jing: "If he doesn't convince your father, he can't come to Zhao Kingdom with you. His purpose is very clear, that is, Jiaojiao's medicine box."
Chang Jing made his last struggle in a low voice: "He also discovered Jianlu."
Xiao Heng sighed: "I can't do it if I don't find it. First, he has to make enough credit to get your father's respect. Second, the dark night gate is very strict. He can't leave the island without authorization. Hide your relationship with Jianlu."
"Is that so?" Chang Jing already knew very well in his heart that whether Uncle Li was a meticulous work of Jianlu or not, from the moment he stole Gu Jiao's medicine box, at least he was not Elder Li of Dark Night Gate.
It is absolutely impossible for the Night Gate to ask him to do such a thing.
Shangguan Qing said suspiciously: "But I still don't understand, why did they steal Jiaojiao's medicine box?"
"There are a lot of precious medicinal materials in the box?" Shangguan Qing asked himself and answered, "Or, the box is invulnerable to swords and guns, and the fire guns are not broken. They want to take it back and split the box to make armor?"
Xiao Heng shook his head and did not explain the secret of the small medicine box to the people in the room.
There are inexhaustible medicines in the small medicine box, and it can be connected to the operating room of another space. It is indeed a rare treasure.
Then the problem comes again.
What does Jianlu want these to do
It is a sword house, not a medicine house.
Could it be that from now on, they will stop practicing swordsmanship, and will all change careers to become doctors
Or did any of them have an incurable disease that happened to be in the little medicine cabinet
This possibility can basically be ruled out. Given the relationship between Li Jiangping and Chang Jing, as long as he speaks, Gu Jiao will be willing to give any medicine, and there is no need to steal the small medicine box.
Marquis Xuanping didn't inquire whether there was anything strange in Gu Jiao's small medicine box. The small medicine box was Gu Jiao's stuff, so he didn't probe people's privacy. Besides, no matter what, it wasn't a reason for being coveted by Jianlu.
The people of Jianlu really deserve to die.
Thinking of something, Xiao Heng asked Chang Jing: "The ones who died were the Island Master of Jianlu and the Island Master's wife... Who identified the identities of those corpses?"
"Uncle Li... Li Jiangping." Chang Jing corrected his title, "Only he observed Jianlu in secret, and only he knew who was on the island, so he said whose body was my father and I both. I believe it."
Xiao Heng said: "It seems that the real Lord of the Sword Lodge is not dead."
Shangguan Qing asked, "Did Long Yi go to the island?"
Xiao Heng shook his head: "I can't say for sure now. Maybe he went, killed a lot of Jianlu's disciples, and some of them escaped. Maybe he didn't have time to start, and the people from the Dark Night Sect landed on the island. The accident was directed and acted by Jianlu to blind the dark night."
Shangguan Qing nodded: "Li Jiangping knew that An Yemen was going to kill Jianlu, so he informed Jianlu in advance, and Jianlu acted in such a massacre, which seems to be reasonable."
Xiao Heng thought for a while and said, "It is very likely that Long Yi has been there. Otherwise, with the strength of Jianlu, it is not enough to avoid the Dark Night Gate like this."
Chang Jing said sternly: "Our Dark Night Sect is very powerful!"
Xiao Heng said: "Of course you are powerful, but with Li Jiangping as an insider, it is not difficult for Jianlu to set up an ambush on the island for you to take advantage of."
Chang Jing was silent.
really.
They all trust Uncle Li too much.
When they went to the island, Uncle Li led the way. If Uncle Li deliberately took them to the trap of the trap, they would have suffered heavy casualties.
Chang Jing still couldn't figure out something: "But Uncle Li...why didn't Li Jiangping do it? Even if we had some casualties on Jianlu Island, we wouldn't doubt him. He could take this opportunity to weaken the strength of Dark Night Island."
Xiao Heng looked at him seriously: "What if it hurts you? If you can't come to Zhao Kingdom to propose marriage, he won't be able to approach Jiaojiao."
Chang Jing: "Oh."
At this point, the last hope in Chang Jing's heart was also extinguished.
Li Jiangping is a meticulous work through and through.
In fact, there are still some doubts, Xiao Heng has to go back and slowly sort out his thoughts.
"Is that box really all right?" Shangguan Qing was still thinking about the small medicine box. After all, it was something that could not be destroyed by a series of fire guns. You know, even the armor on Gu Jiao's body couldn't stop the fire gun's power. .
Xiao Heng said firmly: "It's okay, they can't steal it."
…
On the long, silent street, a carriage drove at high speed.
After Li Jiangping got in the car, he immediately put the small medicine box under the seat, and protected his feet tightly to prevent it from being thrown out by the bumpy carriage.
The swordsman who saved him handed him an elixir for internal injuries.
He raised his head and took it, Yun Gong adjusted a small Zhou Tian, took a long breath, and said after the catastrophe, "It was too dangerous just now, what weapon is that guy holding in his hand? He almost collapsed me!"
"That's called a fire gun." The swordsman said, hesitating for a while, then said, "But when I was in Ghost Mountain, the fire gun didn't have that kind of power."
The swordsman did not participate in the battle of Ghost Mountain, but Elder Lu and the others sent all the battles to the sword house one by one.
Li Jiangping sighed: "My identity has been exposed, and I will never go back to the Dark Night Gate in the future."
Mentioning this, Li Jiangping came to the fire, hibernated for 20 years, deceived people on an entire island, and ended up planted in the hands of a young boy who was still young!
The swordsman said: "It doesn't matter, you got the medicine box, the task has been completed, and you don't have to go to the dark night door in the future."
Li Jiangping said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that what the head was looking for would be in the hands of a little girl."
The swordsman was also very incredible: "Yeah, we always thought that that thing was in the dark night gate, causing you to search in the dark night island for 20 years in vain."
Li Jiangping smiled: "It's not a waste of money. If I hadn't been dormant on Dark Night Island, I wouldn't have had the chance to come to Zhao Kingdom with Chang Jing."
The swordsman said, "That's true."
Li Jiangping frowned: "However, I have a doubt, how did the chief know that this medicine box is in the hands of the justice girl of Anguo?"
The swordsman explained: "It was a doctor girl named Mu of Chen Guo who told the Han family of Yan Guo, and the Han family informed Gongsun Yu. Our people happened to be on the side, so they listened to it. Gongsun Yu was not interested in this thing. It's more convenient for us."
Li Jiangping suddenly realized: "So it is."
The swordsman laughed lightly and said, "Chang Jing happened to have this relationship with the husband of An Guo's righteous daughter. It seems that it was God's will, let us get it in Jianlu."
He said, looking at Li Jiangping, "You have made a great contribution this time, and the head will definitely reward you well."
Li Jiangping couldn't hide his smile, he lowered his head to pick up the small medicine box on the ground, and an incredible thing happened.
"Where's the medicine box!"
He was startled.
The swordsman frowned: "Didn't you just put down the stool?"
"Yeah! I put it here!" Li Jiangping squatted down, not only looking under his stool, but all the corners in the carriage.
But the small medicine box is gone!
