"Since that's the case, I'm still worried." Shi Jiu lazily covered himself with the quilt, "All the court forces have been mobilized, so the rest just need to watch the show? It's just seven ranks at both ends, so I don't know how to fight in Daqian." But right?"
After all, I have already dissected countless seventh-ranks in the Monster Slaying Cave.
……
With the mentality of "since the country has made a move, I'll lie down and wait to be taken away", Shi Jiu spent three days happily.
Jinxiang City seems to have returned to its former peace.The news that the army went out of the city to destroy the monsters was still going on, but it was no longer the elite armored battalion, but the ordinary army of Jinxiang City.
Using an army to deal with those scattered monsters of one or two grades can already be said to be an anti-aircraft gun to kill mosquitoes.Ever since he saw the ordnance in Jinxiang City, Shi Jiu was extremely convinced that monsters below the third rank would not be able to escape from the army at all, and those above the third rank might even escape.
In the past few days, Tang Baicao was tried in secret, and Shi Jiu didn't know about it until after the trial.Because of Tang Baicao's special status, Jinxiang City did not kill him, but sent him to the north and handed him over to the six gates of the capital.
But even if Shi Jiu had something to say, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, strictly speaking, he was the one who caught Tang Baicao and had nothing to do with the case itself.On the contrary, Yue Nu must have appeared as a witness in that secret court trial.
Shi Jiu didn't know the process, but he was certain of one thing - Luo Liuli, who had sent Tang Baicao away, had almost no natural enemies in Jinxiang City.Shi Jiu also wanted to test out the evidence that Yue Nu was Luo Liuli before he left Jinxiang City, but the Li mother who accompanied Yue Nu guarded him strictly, and she conveyed all the words, but Shi Jiu couldn't find it for a while. Opportunity to talk to Yue Nu face to face.
But today is the day when Li Fuchuan said the escort mission started. Shi Jiu checked the things he should bring, went to the arsenal to register, and then rode out of the city, waiting for the legendary mysterious escort target at the post station.
Not long after, a familiar figure appeared at the gate of the post station.
"Master Shi, we meet again."
Moon Slave, whom I hadn't seen for many days, was wearing a short cloak, smiling brightly.
And the system that had been silent for a long time finally gave Shi Jiu a fatal blow at this moment.
[The host triggers a branch mission in the Tianzhou area: "The Mystery of Luo Liuli"]
[Mission content: The host has found clues to the world-famous witch Luo Liuli, and is gradually forcing her identity out of the water.Ask the host to complete the final blow to Luo Liuli's disguise on the way to escort Yue Slave, and locate Luo Liuli's identity with correct reasoning. 】
[Mission rewards: 15 points, fashion value 0-200 points depending on the completion of the mission, key clues of the main task in the region x1. (This task will affect the final completion of the main task in the region)]
[Failure penalty: Lose the key clues of the main mission of the region forever. 】
Shi Jiu's eyes suddenly turned subtle.
If it was other failure punishments, Shi Jiu might weigh the gains and losses, but if he wiped out the key melon of the main quest in the region...
Oh!Wouldn't this main mission be for nothing?Chapter 80 Chapter 78 Unexpected Escort Target
When Yue Nu appeared in front of Shi Jiu, Shi Jiu felt a shock.
Naturally, it wasn't the impact she was expecting from her chest, but the impact on her worldview and self-confidence caused by the fact that things were going in the opposite direction to her own prediction.
The appearance of Yue Nu means that she is his escort target, and the amount of information generated by this is too large, even requiring Shi Jiu to overthrow all his previous inferences in an instant to re-judge the situation.
Could it be that Yue Nu or Luo Liuli's identity is actually related to the court?
I missed or ignored one thing, and this thing was beyond common sense, so I didn't realize its existence in the first place.
Shi Jiu's temples throbbed.
Is it the impact of your own identity exposure?Judging from the information leaked from my communication with the sand sculpture netizens, the sand sculpture netizens only need to find the man who has been in Jinxiang City in the past few days and is related to the demon slayer to determine his identity. Shi Jiu has [-]% confidence in himself. identity has been exposed.If Luo Liuli had confirmed that she was her sand sculpture netizen, and Yue Nu showed up at this time, she probably wanted to use the information gap to further clear her of the suspicion, or thought that she had cleared her suspicion and could appear on the stage openly.
Did the government not know her identity, or did they still send themselves to escort her even though they knew she was Luo Liuli?No, no, the point is not here, the point is that Yue Nu is a brothel girl on the surface, and it would be a bit of a fuss for the government to send a demon envoy to escort her.
Although I was only sent alone, I have performed brilliantly these days, and the strength I have shown can also be regarded as a sixth rank.Allowing myself to escort Yue Nu is enough to show that the government cares about Yue Nu.The reason why he is interested is because he sent a sixth-rank escort to escort Yue Slave, but if he is not, he only sends himself alone...
"Master Shi," Yue Nu seemed a little shy, "I'll trouble you to take care of me this way."
"It's true... Long time no see." Shi Jiu hesitated in answering, he hadn't figured out the context of the whole thing.
Since they are Yue Slaves, why don't they meet in the city, but at a station outside the city?Moreover, this matter was not arranged by others, it was Li Fuchuan, deputy envoy Li, who was absolutely official, so why did he keep it hidden?
Shi Jiu offset the picture and fell into a moment of thought.
——Probably because of the secret mission, you can’t let others see Yuenu going out of the city... But this is not right, Yuenu will get on the carriage after all, the difference between finding a secret location in the city and getting on the carriage outside the city is not the same Big is right.
And why did Yue Nu dare to show up at this time?
When I went to visit a few days ago, I was guarded by Nanny Li, so why did I appear in front of me today, and I was still my escort.
"Although I feel a little sorry for bothering the government, except for Mr. Shi, other slaves can't believe it." Yue Nu stepped forward and blinked playfully, "So please take care of Mr. Shi Jiu along the way."
Even named.
Shi Jiu's thoughts were unprecedentedly chaotic, and he even had the idea of breaking into the system clue wall to reorganize his thoughts.
"Then when shall we leave?" Shi Jiu stood up, took a deep breath, and tried to delay the time.
"Now."
……
The carriage was already waiting outside the post station, looking ordinary.But Shi Jiu believes that the extraordinaryness of this carriage does not lie in itself, but in the people and things sitting on it.
It didn't take long to walk from the post station to the carriage, but it was enough for Shi Jiu to forcibly clear his brain and restart.
Now it's a matter of adapting to the situation, and you have to see the tricks.Maybe I also have the option to expose Luo Liuli's identity on the spot, but this task is assigned by the government, so doing so will undoubtedly destroy the government's arrangement.
So how did the government arrange it?
Shi Jiu slowly followed Yue Nu, thinking.
Assuming that the government doesn't know that Luo Liuli is pretending to be, then this is just a simple escort mission - who would believe it!Which government will send civil servants to escort the periphery!
Then there is only one possibility, the government knows that Yue Nu is related to Luo Liuli, and let him escort Yue Nu, there must be other arrangements later.
The door curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing the smiling old face of Nanny Li: "Master Shi is here? Come, come, take this car."
Yue Nu hesitated for a moment, looked at the other carriage behind the carriage, but was glared at by Nanny Li: "Miss, please be careful."
Shi Jiu suddenly laughed: "It is true that we should pay attention to propriety."
After finishing speaking, Shi Jiu got into the carriage where Nanny Li was.Yue Nu stood helplessly outside the carriage until Nanny Li signaled her to get on the carriage behind with her eyes.
In the carriage at the beginning, only Nanny Li and Shi Jiu were left. The two sat face to face, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Shi Jiumian asked with a hidden needle: "Speaking of which, Miss Yue Nu can actually get the government of Jinxiang City to send a special escort. The power of the Yuegui Pavilion is really not small."
The creases on Li Nanny's face were all squeezed together: "The people who work hard, naturally have to rely on the government. If there is a problem, you have to report it to the government. If you can't solve it, you naturally have to let the government solve it."
Shi Jiu couldn't tell whether Nanny Li meant something, but his heartbeat was unprecedentedly violent.
Li Nanny's eyes shone shrewdly, and she held Shi Jiu with a smile to ask questions: "I heard that the demon slayer went out of the city to suppress demons two days ago, and returned with a big victory. Our girl was still worried that Mr. Shi might be injured, but in the meantime It is inconvenient to ask about it because of your identity, so I urged the old man to inquire about it."
Shi Jiu calmly withdrew his hand from Nanny Li's hand, shaking the goosebumps on his arm: "Thanks to Deputy Envoy Li, this trip out of the city was safe and sound, we hunted down a high-grade monster. It is estimated that in a few days, City Lord Xiao will set up a monastery of monsters to commemorate the dead soldiers and the innocent victims of that night."
Hearing this, Nanny Li couldn't help gnashing her teeth: "Good job! If Mr. Shi hadn't rescued those goddamn beasts that day, my girl would have been caught and eaten by that monster..."
While speaking, Nanny Li wiped away her tears and rubbed Shi Jiu's clothes.
"I heard that Miss Yuenu went to identify the demon of the Hehuan sect a few days ago, and the trial will be in court in a few days." Shi Jiu politely avoided Li Nanny's hand, "I still have some cases to ask about the Hehuan sect. Zong Yaoren, but the government forbids anyone to visit the prison before the trial begins, and wants to ask Miss Yuenu."
Nanny Li's face hesitated for a moment, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, but the smile on her face did not fade a little: "Master, I also said last time that it is really inconvenient for us girls to meet guests at this stage... If you If you have any questions, it is the same to ask the old man, the old man has been with my girl the whole time, and he knows the case well."
Shi Jiu smiled slightly, he was really afraid that Nanny Li would let him go to see Yuenu: "In this case, that would be great. But today I thought that since this case has been closed, there is no need to ask those questions again, It will only increase the trouble, so I don't ask at all—by the way, why are you going to Huainan City at this time?"
"The court trial is over, and we have nothing to do in Jinxiang City. Naturally, we have to go to Huainan City to prepare for the next performance." Nanny Li's answer was natural and smooth, as if she had already prepared for it.
"That's it." Shi Jiu replied indifferently.
The carriage rattled and drove out of the city.
Chapter 81 Chapter 79 Self Explosion
Shi Jiu's mind sank into the jade pendant at the same time, and sent a message to sand sculpture netizens.
"I'm riding in a carriage with someone who is old enough to be my grandmother. What if I can't find a common topic?"
Shi Jiu said such directional words deliberately, the purpose is to test whether the sand sculpture netizens are online.
Sure enough, the Sand Sculpture netizen responded quickly, as if he was bored: "Talk to her about the hard work of raising a baby, and then you just sit there and let your mind go, just nod from time to time."
The corners of Shi Jiu's mouth twitched. Sand sculpture netizens would give such unbelievable but useful answers from time to time, and he was used to it.
Shi Jiu began to implement the plan he had made temporarily, and asked the sand sculpture netizens: "By the way, the red snow foie gras at Chunyueye Restaurant, did you eat it for me?"
At the same time, Shi Jiu asked Grandma Li simultaneously: "By the way, I heard that the red snow foie gras in Huainan City is very famous. If you go to Huainan City, you must try it."
Nanny Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I've been listening to it for the past two days, if I have a chance, I must try it."
Almost at the same time, a sand sculpture netizen sent back her answer: "I've been busy these two days, so I forgot—but I inquired about it, and I heard that the taste is soft and tender, it melts in the mouth, and the mellow fragrance lasts for a long time, the only The disadvantage is that it is too fragrant, and it’s okay to eat one piece, but two pieces will make you so tired that you don’t want to eat meat all day.”
A slight smile appeared on Shi Jiu's face.
It is known that, according to the testimony of Du Langu, the sand sculpture netizen is a young woman in a red dress and golden bells on her feet.
We also know that according to Xiao Yusheng's testimony, the dress and characteristics of sand sculpture netizens are exactly the same as Luo Liuli.
It is also known that sand sculpture netizens fell for Fang Zheng's tricks and believed the rumors spread by him.
The three combined into one, Shi Jiu could already conclude that Luo Liuli was a sand sculpture netizen.The only thing he needs to confirm is who Luo Liuli is in this team.
And more importantly, what role did she play in this incident.
However, that night when Luo Liuli planted Tang Baicao, almost everyone in Xiangyue Pavilion heard Yuenu's cries, which proved in disguise that Yuenu was not Luo Liuli.
That being the case, Luo Liuli is likely to be hiding beside Yue Nu.And this Nanny Li is the most suspicious.
If Shi Jiu was just suspicious of everyone before, when he saw that the person who entered the inn to greet him was Yue Slave, Mammy Li's suspicion priority was raised to the top.
Shi Jiu turned the topic to the case: "By the way, when you met Tang Baicao that day, how did you escape?"
A look of fear appeared on Li Nanny's face: "At that time our guards..."
Shi Jiu deliberately mentioned Li Nanny's scars and flaws: "Your guards are only fourth-rank, right? Those two Hehuan sect monsters are both fifth-rank, and a fourth-rank guard was killed with a single slap. You really are fate!" Big."
Nanny Li's face was a bit ugly, but she still smiled along with her, "It's really fate. At that time, the demon just put down his cruel words, and then ran away in a hurry. We were scared out of our wits, and it was too late to escape. How could we care about this?" .”
Shi Jiu intentionally ended the topic, and asked in a different direction: "Speaking of which, I heard that Tang Baicao has already been tried in court. What's the result?"
At the same time, Shi Jiu sent another message to sand sculpture netizens: "By the way, I haven't told you about the case of the Hehuan sect I handled two days ago, have I? There is a prisoner named Tang Baicao. Can't pry his mouth open."
Two-line operation is all about brain power.But Shi Jiu came prepared, what to ask, what to say has already been arranged in his mind, he doesn't need to care about how the other party answers, he just needs to speak in order.
One question to Li Mama, one sentence to Luo Liuli.Whenever the opponent's mind wanders for a moment, flaws will be exposed.
After all, Shi Jiu is an official servant. When he asked, Mammy Li dared not answer: "I was taken to the capital, I don't know how I will be sentenced, but I will definitely not be able to escape again. It's all thanks to Mr. Shi."
Shi Jiu smiled slightly, and continued to chat with Nanny Li around the case.On the other side, they are madly complaining about Tang Baicao to sand sculpture netizens.
The carriage creaked and drove, and the time passed by.
Shi Jiu didn't panic at all, nor was he in a hurry.During his long hunting career, the most important thing he has learned is patience.
Patience is the best camouflage cloth for traps.
