Maung-mei is wrong

Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian remained silent for a while, staring at the armor for a while, they looked at each other, and exchanged meaningful glances.

Zhuo Yingxian asked seriously in a low voice: "Is there someone hiding in this armor?"

"It's hard to say." Nie Yunhan also whispered, "I heard that the foster father was studying some mechanism puppet, and I don't know if it is this."

"Maybe Guan Ye didn't make it, but Hirano did it?"

"Well, it's also possible."

"Is the organ puppet powerful? What can it do?"

"I don't know either, it's the first time I see you."

Seeing that the two did not answer, the armored puppet whispered to each other instead, and couldn't help raising its voice, asking: "Ask you! Who is in the cage? Quickly report the name! Why did you trespass in the forest garden?!"

The other party's voice was thick, and the echoes rippled in circles in the space below, appearing quite majestic.

"No." Zhuo Yingxian said to Nie Yunhan, "There must be people hiding inside, and it's impossible for the puppets to speak."

Nie Yunhan shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. People can hide behind. You see, this thing is like a mountain. It blocks the entrance of the passage tightly, and you can't see behind it."

"That's true, if you hide in this heavy armor and accidentally take one more step forward, won't you fall off?" Zhuo Yingxian imagined the scene, and couldn't help laughing, "It will definitely be an arm and a leg. The ones fell all over the place, and I don’t know how much material it would take to redo one.”

Ignored by the two of them again, the armored puppet got angry and used some kind of mechanism. The iron chain hanging from the cage suddenly sank down with a crash, falling a distance of two feet high.

That majestic and powerful voice contained a hint of anger: "Say it soon?!"

Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian were almost licked by the flames that came up, and they didn't care that the iron cage creaked and trembled in the air, they jumped up with a "whoosh" and coincidentally protected the rear half.

No one paid any attention to the armored puppet, but Nie Yunhan reached out to touch Zhuo Yingxian's buttocks: "It's not hot, is it?"

"Go, go, don't take advantage of me." Zhuo Ying hurriedly knocked off his hand, "I'm fine."

Seeing that the two of them were still in the mood to flirt, the armored puppet became furious and shouted: "Are you two finished? Why don't you answer my question?!"

After hearing this, Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian looked at each other and smiled.

Zhuo Yingxian said in a low voice: "I'm irritable, I shouldn't be too young."

"Well, I'm not very good at asking questions, and it seems that there is no city." Nie Yunhan nodded in agreement.

"You are good at this, come here." Zhuo Yingxian stretched out his hand to support the iron cage, and found that the walls of the cage were already a little hot, and urged, "Quick battle."

Nie Yunhan crossed his arms, raised his chin and tilted his head to look at the armored puppet: "I haven't asked you yet, why do you ask me?"

"Yes, it was you who trespassed on my forest garden, so naturally I came to ask the question!" The armored puppet's voice was still loud, but compared to just now, it was obviously less confident.

"Nonsense! This is my foster brother's house, and all the servants in the family know me. Since you don't know me, you must be an outsider!" Nie Yunhan looked gloomy, staring at the other party's eyes, and completely suppressed his momentum, "You put my foster brother What happened to Hirano? Why do you want to occupy the nest? Who are you? Tell me!"

The armored puppet suddenly stopped talking, and stood at the entrance of the passage, as if broken.

Nie Yunhan pressed another question: "There are observation ports and listening holes in this mechanism. You have been hiding behind and listening to us. You should have known my identity a long time ago. Why are you pretending now?!"

The other party remained silent, and Nie Yunhan also stopped talking.Although he felt that his feet were starting to heat up, but in this stalemate, whoever loses his temper first will lose first.

Zhuo Yingxian came over and said in a low voice: "This person should be Hirano's book boy, but since they went out together on the tenth day of the lunar new year, how come Hirano was arrested and he came back safe and sound? Will Haqin's men survive? "

"You suspect there is something wrong with him?"

"There is no proof, I just feel that everything is too coincidental." Zhuo Ying said leisurely, "Pingye suddenly took in a book boy, and was caught by Haqin when he ran outside for nothing, and this book boy was so proficient in operating iron shields, He must have a very close relationship with Hirano, and you said that Hirano is a very cautious person, how could you trust him so much?"

Nie Yunhan nodded slightly: "This is what I have always wondered, but judging from this person's reply, he does not seem like a man with a scheming heart. Could it be that he suddenly caught Hirano's eyes in some way? Maybe his status is very poor, or maybe he is particularly speculative with him .”

"It's all right, now I just hope he can speak up quickly, stop the stalemate, and let us out quickly." Zhuo Yingxian frowned, "I feel like the soles of my feet are going to burn."

Thinking of how he was tortured by Duan Zhanmei not long ago, that he once stood barefoot on the burning coals, and soaked in the sewage for half a night before his injuries healed, Nie Yunhan couldn't help but feel distressed: "Come here, stand on my feet, I have rough skin and thick flesh , not afraid of roasting."

"Come on, it's all human flesh, how much difference can there be?" Zhuo Ying stared at him idlely, "Do you think I won't feel sorry for you if you get hurt?"

Nie Yunhan grinned at him, his heart was full of joy, so he didn't waste his time talking, thinking that he should speak first and give him a few sap just now, or give him a few sweet dates now.

Just as he was thinking, the armored puppet suddenly said: "Are you really Shao...Guan Pingye's righteous brother? If so, why don't you know how to avoid the iron shield?"

Nie Yunhan could tell that the other party clearly wanted to say "Young Master", but felt that it was inappropriate, so he changed his words abruptly, so he chuckled: "You don't understand this, do you? How can everyone know the secret of Iron Shield? Besides, Hirano will be remodeled on a regular basis, so of course I won’t know about the new changes. As for me, hmph, if you are someone close to him, you must have heard my name. If you haven’t, it seems that you are not in Hirano’s heart. What kind of."

"You, you are talking nonsense!" The armored puppet suddenly yelled, this delicate tone was in stark contrast to that majestic voice, and it sounded weird.

Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian looked at each other in surprise, and looked up at the armored puppet: "Listen, you are a woman? Could it be that you are married to Hirano and still live together? This is impossible! My foster brother You haven't nodded yet, your marriages are too many to count! I haven't seen you in two years, I didn't expect Hirano to behave so disorderly, and those poems, books, etiquette and righteousness have all been read into the stomach of a dog?"

"I'm not a woman!" The armored puppet seemed to be in a hurry, and shouted loudly, "How could Hirano get engaged to someone in private without going through my elder brother? He is a man of etiquette, so don't slander him!"

Zhuo Yingxian smiled and said in a low voice, "I am eager to protect the Lord."

"You are Hirano's new book boy, right? It can be seen that you are very loyal to him." Nie Yunhan put away his feigned anger and said sincerely, "Since you are standing here talking to us, it means that something happened to Hirano I came here this time because I was worried that he might be in danger, so you should let us out as soon as possible before it's too late, and let's make it clear face to face, so that we can rescue him as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, the armored puppet on the opposite side stood still for a moment, then rumbled back into the passage, and the wooden boards on the dirt wall closed slowly with a "creak" and "creak".

Zhuo Yingxian didn't say a word, he felt that the book boy was probably convinced.

Sure enough, shortly after the wooden door was closed, the chain hanging the iron cage was pulled upwards, and the iron cage was lifted back to the passage where it had just fallen, and the chain moved more than a foot to the side. The iron cage was placed on the ground with a "bang".

Without the flames, both Nie Yunhan and Nie Yunhan felt a little more comfortable, but the iron cage hadn't completely cooled down, so they didn't dare to reach out and touch the cage wall.

Zhuo Yingxian's body was cold, he seldom sweated at first, but now his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, his face was white and rosy, which was pretty, but in Nie Yunhan's eyes, he was very worried: "It's hot. Is it broken? Is there any discomfort? I will pack anti-heat medicine in your pocket, and you take one?"

"Even this? You are very thoughtful." Zhuo Yingxian shook his head, "It's okay, the ventilation here will be fine in a while—someone is coming."

There was the sound of footsteps coming from behind the corner, Nie Yunhan and the two of them stared at that place, and listened carefully with their ears raised, they could hear that this person's footsteps were sluggish, his breath was heavy, he didn't look like a martial arts practitioner.

The sound of footsteps came to a corner, and there was a sudden pause. The book boy must have been cautious to face the two of them, but he finally turned the corner and looked at Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian timidly from a distance.

This is a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, consistent with the description of the bookstore worker, he is not short, he looks tall and tall, and he has a good appearance, but he is a little immature, with an honest appearance.

When Nie Yunhan saw him, he smiled kindly: "Don't be nervous, if you still have any concerns, why not come here and let's talk."

The young man tremblingly walked a few steps forward, stood about five feet in front of the cage, and stopped moving. He looked carefully at Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian, and finally set his eyes on Nie Yunhan again, and asked : "Are you really the young master's righteous brother?"

"Has Hirano never mentioned me to you?" Nie Yunhan frowned slightly.

"The young master mentioned that he has a brother-in-law, but he didn't tell me his name." Although the young man was a little timid, his eyes never avoided Nie Yunhan. "What's your name, where did you come from? How do you know something happened to the young master?"

"My name is Nie Yunhan. Your young master's father is my adoptive father. Before that, we both served in the Tangzhou Mansion. Do you know about this?"

The young man said honestly: "I don't know the master's name, but the young master mentioned that he used to be a member of the army."

The old slaves in Linyuan all referred to Guan Pingye's grandfather as the master, so when Nie Yunhan mentioned Guan Shan, he only called him "the young master's father". It's not long since I arrived in the forest garden, and I haven't had much contact with the old slaves in the garden.

Zhuo Yingxian was listening by the side, and he knew that Guan Pingye had also concealed something from the book boy, at least he didn't mention Guan Shan's true identity.

After all, Guan Shan's current name is not very good-looking, and even the red boa is a taint, so it makes sense for Guan Pingye not to mention their names to this young man.

Seeing that the young man didn't know much, Nie Yunhan didn't bother to explain, and simply said: "Someone gave me something a few days ago, and I recognized it as a copper nail on the iron shield, so I knew that Hirano might be in trouble, so Thousands of miles galloped to look for him. Here, let me show you."

While talking, he took out the copper nail from the cloth pocket at his waist and threw it to the boy.

The boy took the copper nail and looked it over carefully.

"This copper nail is for iron shields, can you recognize it?"

"I can recognize it." The young man nodded again and again, the defensive look in his eyes gradually disappeared, but he was still a little suspicious, "The young master just had an accident a few days ago, and it will take at least seven or eight days for you to get here from Tangzhou Mansion. Isn’t the person you sent the letter a prophet? If he knew the inside story, why didn’t he protect the young master? What is the position of this person?!”
