The villain is being forced to whitewash again

Chasing him out of the room in a hurry, Zhao Yuan was a little out of breath. Not only did he not feel comfortable at all after drinking so much tea, but he became nauseous instead.

It was extremely hot, and the sun above his head was exaggerated. He stretched out his hand to cover his forehead and almost thought that he was about to be sunburned to death, like a dying fish struggling and jumping on the river beach, but it could only stir its thirst, but these were just feelings. An obvious illusion brought about by restlessness.

This is always the case every time I meet Yue Qiong, without exception, I feel uncomfortable from the inside out, especially today, but the reason is Qin Shi.

It's not because of disgust, but because I didn't help at all today, and I was just watching ignorantly and ignorantly throughout the whole process!

He couldn't help rubbing his temples, realizing that the fact that he was incompetent was chilling. This was not the worst situation, what was even worse was that he hadn't fully figured out the meaning of Qin Shi's words just now.

He was quite sure that Yueqiong was hiding the fear that was suddenly induced as much as possible, but why was she afraid?What is there to be afraid of?

Unfortunately, what became more and more obvious in my mind was the scorching heat of the sun above my head.

A strong grassy smell wafts over and mixes with the taste of tea that has not dissipated in the mouth, forming a breath that can make people vomit - rotten, wet black soil covered the rotten corpse, yellow .Chrysanthemums, surround and cluster them...

His temples were getting more and more painful, he rubbed them vigorously, wishing he had enough eyes to see through other people's thoughts, instead of an elm head that couldn't figure out anything and couldn't do anything.

He finally gave up thinking about the incomprehensible dialogue, it was too difficult, I am afraid that only Yueqiong who was spied on the secret could understand what it meant.

Of course, it is impossible for that femme fatale to remind her kindly, she can't wait to strangle all those who might shake her position immediately.

Sighing in frustration, when they chased after Qin Shi, they were no longer in the enemy's base camp, which was not suitable for relaxing.

Slowly breathing the suddenly open air, Zhao Yuan's nerves were all stretched out, and his thinking could even jump up, solving all unreasonable problems as smoothly as notes on a musical score.

...well, it just doesn't exist.

He was still confused and confused, these things relentlessly tormented his head, triggering a new series of useless little people in the brain to answer, one sentence from you, one sentence from him, and he was so angry that he wanted to tear his hair and kick his feet to fight.

It forced him to be curious, to ask the instigator who caused all these troubles.

Although it's a bit embarrassing, the whole behavior makes him, the confidant who made the plan before, a bit stupid, but to put it bluntly, even a genius, there is no way to compare with a non-human who has lived for such a long experience for 100 years!

"You haven't asked Yueqiong for any important information yet, why did you just leave suddenly? You...haven't you forgotten the purpose of our trip?"

Qin Shi didn't seem to understand what he was talking about, and his tone was too understated, which made Zhao Yuan feel like a fool for asking this question.

"Isn't it already asked?"

"Wait, you just said...you have...asked it?"

Zhao Yuan was stunned, and began to wonder if he had accidentally missed the point when he was pouring tea depressedly in Yueqiong's room, or why he couldn't understand anything at this moment!

Qin Shi touched his chin and thought about it: "Do you think that's not an accurate clue?"

... Putting aside the question of whether it is accurate, the most important thing is that I have never guessed what the clue you mentioned is!Zhao Yuan wanted to kneel down and spread his hands in pain.

The serious tone of the discussion made him feel frustrated that he couldn't calculate the shadow area, and Hua Tuo's life could not save the two people's nerves from being out of line at this moment.

He would rather go back and stay in the gloomy morgue to dissect corpses and study poisons, or find Yueqiong to start a new battle for [-] rounds, these are better than looking like a fool who needs to learn how to improve his IQ at this moment.

It's no wonder he behaved like this. After all, he only heard Qin Shi chatting with Mrs. Yue like an old man, and he didn't get to the point from the beginning to the end. Qin Shi's sudden words were like a bolt from the blue. If it were someone else Also become a fool.

Probably because the despair and confusion on Zhao Yuan's face were too obvious, Qin Shi finally realized that his companion was going through hardships and thoughts.

He couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Is it really so difficult to understand?He thought he had made it obvious, and it would be troublesome to explain things clearly...

Although it is very troublesome, you still have to explain it as much as possible, otherwise, if you don't say it all the time, I am afraid that Zhao Yuan will not be able to guess what this important clue is for the rest of his life.

"The important clue I mentioned is what Yueqiong just revealed by herself. She once mentioned to the prince the address where she lived with her mother when she was a child - Lianhua Village."

Although he got an explanation, Zhao Yuan still couldn't figure out where this was an important clue.

"It's just an ordinary village. Does it have anything to do with finding out Yueqiong's false testimony?"

Qin Shi didn't answer directly, but instead asked a confusing question.

"Do you think Yueqiong is really Yueqiong?"

Zhao Yuan was immediately stopped by the question, and after a few seconds of stunned, he vaguely understood the meaning of the words, but was still taken aback by Qin Shi's unreasonable thoughts, because he really hadn't thought about this possibility.

"You... mean... there are doubts about Yue Qiong's identity?" His brows were slightly frowned.

"That's right." Qin Shi nodded approvingly.

"I didn't go straight to the point. The purpose was to lower her vigilance. When she was completely relaxed, I asked if I had told the prince about the place where I lived with my mother since I was a child."

"Because of the habit of talking too much to the prince in the past, she subconsciously revealed the address. This is not a problem at all, but what is suspicious is the illogical performance that follows."

"I said a lot of unnecessary things, repeatedly emphasizing that she and her mother have been away from the village for a long time, and people in the village may not even remember their existence."

"But why do you deliberately emphasize this point? It's like a child who often steals candy. After being discovered, he still can't wipe off the residue on his mouth for a while, so he can only find other excuses and try to perfunctory."

"Is it because the people in the village have really forgotten about them, or does she have something in that village that she doesn't want people to know, or...she never appeared in that village at all."

Fear climbed up the spine, and the lungs began to tighten. The air should be abundant, but it seemed to be breathing thinly in a narrow coffin under the soil.

The surrounding sky became darker and darker, from yellow to deep red, then to rare blue-purple, and finally to dark brown with white interspersed with wind and rain, but he didn't even realize that the night was coming in the strangeness enough to hurt his chest advent.

Zhao Yuan gasped in shock, his face suddenly became ugly, and he couldn't help seeing gold stars while holding his sweaty forehead.

If Qin Shi's conjecture was correct, then Yue Qiong really couldn't help but make people frightened, and everyone was deceived by her clever means.

He couldn't help being tense and sad, and then he thought about the frightening point.

"Yueqiong is her name, but maybe it's not... In this way, the so-called selling her body to bury her mother may also be a fake. If the label is fake, then the reason why she is close to the prince... is for the sake of her after death. Inheritance?!"

Thinking of this, his face was already pale.

"...No, I have to tell the Princess to be careful of Yue Qiong, and I have to investigate the other party's identity carefully from the beginning!"

Qin Shi suddenly stopped the eager Zhao Yuan.

"Wait, don't be impulsive."

"Wait? If you delay any longer, I'm afraid that even the Beigong Palace will fall into her hands in the end!"

Zhao Yuan ignited like a firecracker, but the flames were cold, cloudy and damp, burning his whole body so that he almost lost his breath.

The sudden anger and restlessness suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the uncontrollable powerlessness gradually deepened... This is a spider web weaved in advance, and these words echoed in my mind over and over again...

If it's so easy to find out, why hasn't anyone realized something is wrong after so long?Unprepared, how could they survive a trap without warning.

He muttered to himself in frustration: "... there are seven days left... can we investigate something that can actually help us in such a short period of time?"

Qin Shi was not worried about this problem at all, he stroked his chin and pondered calmly.

"If we are disappointed now, what we have lost is the only clue that is beneficial to us. The most urgent task now is to go to Lianhua Village to investigate first, to see if it is really just my conjecture, or if Yueqiong is indeed hiding something."

Zhao Yuan suddenly sobered up a little, yes, how could he be so impulsive and almost overwhelmed by the result that hasn't happened yet.

He said worriedly: "But judging from Yueqiong's performance just now, she may have guessed what we are thinking at the moment, and will definitely arrange for a killer to ambush us on the way. How to avoid it is a headache..."

Qin Shi suddenly smiled, "Why do you want to avoid it?"

Zhao Yuan subconsciously raised his head from worry, his eyes were full of puzzlement.

"What did you say? If you don't avoid it, why don't you applaud and welcome him to assassinate us?"

Qin Shi smiled and said, "You're right. What I'm looking forward to the most, other than any useful information from Lianhua Village, is his appearance."

Zhao Yuan looked bewildered and puzzled.

I wanted to think about it at first, but in the end I had nothing to love.

...I'm so tired. If you beat him to death, don't connect your brain circuits with people who are wise and close to monsters. Go back and drink more scented tea, so as not to hurt the few brain cells that are already left.

-

The night was raging in the sky, and without wasting any time, they immediately set off from Beigong Palace and took away the two best horses in the palace.

Zhao Yuan originally wanted to talk to Bei Gongchen about this matter, but remembering Qin Shiyi's advice not to startle the snake, he finally gave up.

Along the way, they were speeding up, and a night breeze blew past their ears. By the time they smelled the smell of large patches of dandelions mixed with a strange sweet scent, they had already walked nearly half of the distance.

Qin Shi pulled the reins to stop the black horse.

Zhao Yuan also stopped, holding the rein in his hand, and the red-brown handsome horse took a few steps on the spot.

"Why did you stop suddenly?"

Qin Shi got off the horse and took out a bunch of red things that even Zhao Yuan didn't know where to find them. He pulled off an extra long hair rope from his head, tied the red things and tied them firmly. behind the horse's tail.

Zhao Yuan took a closer look and couldn't help being surprised, it turned out to be a string of brand new firecrackers, wait?It's still a long time before the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives, how can this be sung!

"Qin Shi...you...this is...?"

"The killer is traveling at about the same speed as us. We must investigate Lianhua Village before he catches up with us."

As he spoke, Qin Shi swiped the firecracker he took out, and moved closer to light the firecrackers.

The firecrackers tied to the horse's tail crackled in an instant, startling the horse, which was grazing quietly when it had nothing to do, screaming like a headless fly and running to the other side, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Qin Shi broke off a large piece of branches and leaves on the side of the road, tied them into a big broom, and tied it to the tail of the horse Zhao Yuanzheng was riding.

The horse took a few steps forward unaccustomed, and the horse's hoof marks left just now were immediately swept away by the leaves.

"Make some tricks to confuse him for a while, so that we have enough time to investigate."

After watching this series of coquettish operations, Zhao Yuan was inexplicably surprised, and couldn't help asking: "...Qin Shi, can I ask you a question?"

Qin Shi continued to fiddle with the leaves on the horse's tail indifferently, "What do you want to ask?"

Zhao Yuan asked suspiciously: "Your anti-investigation ability is too high, isn't it? The method is so sophisticated that it is comparable to the Criminal Ministry... Seriously, when you were not the leader of the Demon Sect 100 years ago, did you smuggle official salt?" Pass?"

Qin Shi's face was trying to twitch freely.

What the hell is smuggling official salt, can't you think of a good place except crime?Do I look that bad?This is naked discrimination Hey!

"……you think too much."

Qin Shi patted Zhao Yuan's buttocks, "Move out."

Zhao Yuan's face suddenly turned red, and he said uncomfortably, "You want to ride a horse with me?"

Qin Shi directly straddled the horse, pulled the rein from Zhao Yuan's back, tilted his head to adjust the holding position, and checked whether the front would block his sight.

"Otherwise, is there a better idea? Did you always think I could fly with a sword?"

Zhao Yuan was surprised and said: "...So there isn't one?"

Qin Shi: ...

Zhao Yuan was actually not that tall, Qin Shi was a head taller than him, and it was really crowded with two adults sitting on the same horse.

He wanted to stay away from Qin Shi, but due to inertia, he made himself a small bird. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't help but want to suggest a change of position. Qin Shi suddenly patted the horse's ass behind him, and the horse was startled With a yell, he immediately spread his legs and ran away.

Zhao Yuan didn't have time to react, he let out a cry of surprise, he had to hug the horse tightly because of the imbalance, and then he heard a laugh in his ear that he couldn't help but laugh.

He blushed all of a sudden, he had never made such a mistake before, and couldn't help but glared at Qin Shi in embarrassment and annoyance.

Qin Shi coughed, turned his head, and looked at the surrounding scenery seriously, as if the butterfly flying past him was made of gold to attract people, but the corners of his mouth were still slightly raised.

After a long journey, they finally arrived at Lianhua Village.

This village is not very big, and most of the people who come and go carry hunting tools. It is obvious that the people here depend on hunters for their livelihood.

As soon as the two appeared, they attracted the attention of many people. They rarely saw strangers coming to the village, so soon a strong man came forward and asked a question.

"You look dusty and dusty, are you from nearby? Is there any urgent matter in our humble little village?"

The village head is very bold and straightforward, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, it seems that he has just returned from hunting, and he is in a good mood.

After the other party said that, Qin Shi stopped playing riddles and asked directly: "Has there ever been a woman named Yueqiong living here?"

The village chief looked puzzled.

"No, we don't even have a family named Yue here, let alone a woman called Yueqiong."

Zhao Yuan couldn't help asking: "Really? Are you sure you haven't forgotten or made a mistake?"

The village head let out a cheer and waved his hands, "I'm not demented. How could there be a few families in the village who don't know about it? You still don't believe me, do you?"

As he spoke, he pulled a child who seemed to be only six years old from his side, and squatted down to talk to the child.

"Children can't lie, come here, Huzi, do you think we have a woman named Yue here?"

Huzi was holding a flat pebble and a purple wild flower, and beside him was a friend who came back from playing by the river. Hearing the village chief’s question, he said straightforwardly: “Is there a reward for the correct answer? You caught it the day before yesterday. Can that rabbit be raised for me?"

"You brat, you've been wanting to get me from me all day long, that's fine, I'll give it to you if you get the answer right." The village chief pushed his hand to the back of his head with a smile and angrily.

Huzi said without blinking, "Where is there a sister named Yue? I've never seen her before anyway. Is it the old lover you secretly met, the village chief?"

As soon as the voice fell, he slipped away, successfully dodging a hand that was about to call up on his forehead.

"Go away, you little bastard, you know nonsense all day long."

Huzi and the other friends ran away laughing and shouting loudly, "I got the answer right, village chief, you can't play tricks, I'll come get the rabbit after dinner later."

The village chief clenched one hand into a fist and waved at them pretending to be a threat, "If you dare, I'll kick you out, you little bastard."

"I don't believe it." A group of children disappeared with a smile.

The village head turned to Qin Shi and Zhao Yuan and said, "Now do you believe it? I didn't tell a half lie."

Zhao Yuan's expression became very serious.

"... Yueqiong, there is indeed a problem."
