Creed of the heavens

Lu Xiao rubbed Yu'er's head and comforted her: "You have grown a lot during this trip, Brother Zhang will only feel relieved to see you, at most he will give you a few reproaches."

"Humph"

Yu'er turned her head and retorted stiffly: "I'm not worried!"

"Then don't put on that sad face."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Zhang Lie was a strong middle-aged man with a beard and a beard. He was nearly two meters tall, and he was considered a giant in this era.

It was the first time that Lu Xiao met Zhang Lie formally, and the heroic spirit that greeted him made him think highly of Zhang Lie when he first met.

"Haha! Brother Chen, long time no see."

Zhang Lie first greeted Chen Jingchou with his hands clasped together, and then turned his head to look at Lu Xiao who was standing at the top: "Brother Lu, I have admired you for a long time, my wayward sister-in-law didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"

Yu'er puffed up her mouth in dissatisfaction, and showed a rare look of cuteness in front of Zhang Lie: "Brother-in-law! I am not self-willed!"

Zhang Lie and Lu Xiao greeted each other with a smile, and when they turned their heads to look at Yu'er, the original smile on Zhang Lie's face disappeared immediately.

"You still have the nerve to say it! Do you know how worried Yue'er is about your safety?"

When mentioning her sister, who had been dependent on her since she was a child, Yu'er's aura immediately weakened.

"Is sister okay?"

Zhang Lie choked out angrily, "Hmph, I'm finally not mad at you."

After receiving the help-seeking look from Yu'er, Lu Xiao stood up in a timely manner to smooth things over for the two of them.

"Brother Zhang, I think Yu'er has already realized her mistake. This trip has also made her grow a lot, so let her go for now."

Zhang Lie glanced at Yu'er, who was carefully looking at him, sighed lightly, nodded according to Lu Xiao's words: "Well, today is a good day for first meeting and reunion, let's put this wayward girl aside for now. "

When Zhang Lie was young, he was busy avenging the murder of his father and had no intention of getting married. When he married Tuoba Yue'er, he was already past his age. In this era when the weak crown married at the age of 20, he was definitely a late-married person.

According to Yu'er, Zhang Lie should be 43 years old this year. Due to his rough beard, his appearance looks much older than his actual age.

Yu'er is a few years younger than her sister Yue'er and has just turned 17 this year.

Rather than saying that he is his sister-in-law, Zhang Lie, who has no children under his knees, might as well treat Yu'er as a daughter.

The 17-year-old Yu'er has entered the age suitable for marriage. Zhang Lie tried to test the relationship between her and Lu Xiao indiscriminately, but it was a pity that he couldn't see any pink breath.

Zhang Lie, who has traveled all over the world for many years, has already developed a pair of discerning eyes.

Although Yu'er would quarrel with Lu Xiao jokingly from time to time, he could vaguely see the respect for Lu Xiao from Yu'er's eyes. This attitude was very rare for Yu'er who was self-centered since childhood.

Are you both a teacher and a friend?Not bad at all.

When welcoming Zhang Lie to the top floor of the inn, Xiaoxue and Yongzhen had already arranged for the unconscious Chen Fu.

The reunion with Zhang Lie after a long absence made Yu Xiaoxue show a shy look of joy on her face, and Yongzhen greeted Zhang Lie as Lu Xiao's wife.

After exchanging pleasantries, the vigorous Zhang Lie quickly turned the topic to serious business.

"Brother Lu, I heard about you from Brother Cheng and Brother Shubao long after the change in Demon King's Village was over."

Zhang Lie said solemnly: "My opinion is the same as yours. The Yu Taishi who appeared in the Demon King's Village that day was definitely not himself."

"According to the information found by Brother Li Jing, when you all clashed with the fake grand master in the Demon King's Village, the real Yutuo was taking care of the follow-up matters of the dragon boat fire. He was busy appeasing the furious Yang Guang, and had no time to clone himself."

"The question is, who is the fake Yutuo, and what purpose did he go to the Demon King's Village to snatch the Shennong Ding?"

Lu Xiao admired Zhang Lie's intelligence gathering ability. As expected of an old Jianghu, as long as he seriously uses his contacts, he will soon be able to get close to the truth of the matter through the patchwork of intelligence fragments.

Lu Xiao followed Zhang Lie's question and said, "Regarding this, Yu'er, do you still remember those three impostors who accidentally exposed their feet?"

"Ah."

Yu'er subconsciously looked up at the roof, tapped her lower lip with her hand and muttered, "I remember, one of the impostors blurted out to call the impostor Yu Tuo-kun or something."

"Jun? Army?"

Zhang Lie stroked his bearded chin thoughtfully: "Could it be that he wants to be called Junhou? Is he the leader of some faction?"

"No, the real pronunciation is not Jun."

Lu Xiao corrected: "The impostor's speech was relatively short, and he realized his mistake only halfway through the speech. Mishearing is inevitable."

"Unfortunately, my five senses are better than ordinary people, and I can hear the other party's true meaning in that very short pronunciation."

"That's not Jun, but the pronunciation of Jun."

Chen Jingchou, who had the highest academic skills, counted with his fingers: "Jun, Jun, Jun, Jun"

"and many more."

Zhang Lie suddenly thought of something, frowned and saw Lu Xiao confirming: "Brother Lu? Could it be a certain county king?"

Lu Xiao shook her head with a smile and said, "Although we missed, it's not far away."

"According to my observation and confirmation during this period of time, it is basically certain who is impersonating Yutuo and his subordinates."

Looking towards the north of the inn following Lu Xiao's line of sight, Zhang Lie was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of surprise and astonishment: "Could it be the Princess Dugu Ning Ke?"

Due to the changes caused by Lu Xiao, Chen Jingchou and Yu Xiaoxue did not have in-depth contact with Dugu Ning Ke, but only saw it once outside the palace in Daliang City.

Suddenly hearing that one of the three big men in Demon King's Village was disguised as Jiao Didi's princess, both of them showed unbelievable expressions on their faces at the same time.

Jing Qiu patted his head blankly: "I also once disguised myself as a woman and got on Yang Guang's boat to collect dragon boat ladies. It's not incomprehensible for a woman to disguise herself as a man, but how can a small county chief pretend to be a majestic Yu Taishi? "

Dugu Ning Ke was less than 1 meters tall, while Yu Tuo was about the same size as Lu Xiao, around 6 meters. Chen Jingchou couldn't figure out how she could make up for such a big height difference.

"It's simple."

In front of everyone, Lu Xiao took out the disguise tool from the portable space, and fiddled with Jingchou and others who didn't know why.

When he turned around again a few minutes later, Lu Xiao's appearance looked almost the same as Zhang Lie's. The shoes covered by the long gown had been modified to make his height look as if he were about the same size as Zhang Lie.

"This"

Chen Jingchou was dumbfounded, while Zhang Lie let out a hearty laugh: "It turned out to be a disguise technique, no wonder Brother Lu was able to escape the inspection of Daxing City as a wanted man."

"That is to say, the appearance I saw before is not your original appearance, is it?"

Lu Xiao nodded, and wiped off all the disguises on her face, revealing her original appearance: "I'm in a hurry, please forgive me, brother Zhang, this is my original appearance."
