"What, Lord Liao is still alive, how is this possible?"
"Some members of the Imperial Guard saw that Lord Liao's candle had been on since dark, while others had not even stepped out of the room."
When Luo Qiang heard Ding Xiaoyi's analysis, he couldn't hide the shock in his eyes. He asked Ding Xiaoyi in confusion.
"Yes, Guard Ding, what basis do you have for saying that Master Liao is still alive?"
Prince Geng also looked puzzled and asked Ding Xiaoyi.
"Actually, Master Liao returned to his room before it was dark, and then lit the candles. It's just that the brothers of the Guards and Navy didn't pay attention, but he left his room before it was dawn. Room."
"It's not dark yet. The guards and navy brothers patrolling at this time just didn't pay attention. Even if they did, they wouldn't care."
Ding Xiaoyi replied to everyone with a smile.
He had learned that the owner of this room, Mr. Liao, had returned to his room and then left again.
Then, the sky gradually darkened,
The window reflected Master Liao's figure reading, so the patrolling guards and navy soldiers didn't pay attention. They always thought that Master Liao was in this room.
"That shouldn't be the case. My subordinate reported that Master Liao has been reading in this room until the light went out."
Luo Qiang's face showed doubts again, and he said to Ding Xiaoyi again.
"Yes, Guard Ding, many Imperial Guardsmen and Navy soldiers saw Lord Liao reading a book, how could they be wrong?"
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Yang Quan had a pair of golden scissors in his hand. He handed it to Ding Xiaoyi and asked.
"Commander Luo, please bring me another candle."
Ding Xiaoyi gave Luo Qiang another instruction.
Although Luo Qiang was full of doubts, he still hurriedly walked out of the room.
"Please, please move outside the room. It will be time to witness the miracle later."
Ding Xiaoyi said to Prince Geng and Gong Yangquan, the national advisor of the Liusu Palace.
Prince Geng and Gongyang Quan could not hide their curiosity, so they walked out of the room.
Only Ding Xiaoyi was left busy in the room.
After a while,
Commander Luo held a candle in his hand, and Ding Xiaoyi also drove Commander Luo out of the room.
The three of them were waiting quietly outside the room.
After a few moments,
Ding Xiaoyi's lazy voice came from that room: "Please, Imperial Master, please dim the light in this courtyard."
Hearing Ding Xiaoyi's lazy voice, Gong Yangquan's pupils shrank slightly.
He set up a talisman array in this post house, and only he and King Liusu knew about this talisman array.
He was confident that the talisman array he had set up was extremely secretive, but Ding Xiaoyi still discovered it.
"Okay, just follow what Guard Ding said."
A bitter smile appeared on Gong Yangquan's face.
He pinched a jade slip in his hand,
The surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and the posthouse seemed to be plunged into darkness.
When the surrounding light dims,
There was a soft waxy light in Master Liao's room, and a figure was sitting quietly by the window reading a book.
After seeing this scene in front of them, there was not much change on everyone's faces.
The door opens,
Ding Xiaoyi appeared in everyone's sight with a bright smile on his face.
Everyone looked at the window again,
They found that the figure reading the book was still there, and that the figure would sway from time to time, as if the scholar was shaking his head.
Seeing this strange scene in front of them, everyone was shocked.
At first, they thought it was Ding Xiaoyi's figure reading a book, but Ding Xiaoyi had already walked out of the room, but the figure reading the book still did not disappear.
"I didn't expect that Lord Liao would use such a deception to deceive the Imperial Guards and Navy soldiers. He had already left the post house."
at this time,
Only then did everyone react, and Luo Qiang's face was filled with anger. He thought that Master Liao was missing because of the poor patrolling of the Imperial Guards and Navy soldiers.
Who would have thought,
It turned out that Mr. Liao escaped on his own and left behind a blind trick to deceive the guards and navy soldiers.
"Search throughout the city and be sure to find Mr. Liao."
At this time, Prince Geng's face was not very good. A civil servant who had no practice actually played them around.
Although the mystery has been solved,
But Ding Xiaoyi didn't know why Master Liao left the post house and what his real purpose was.
It seems that all this can only be solved after finding Mr. Liao.
"I didn't expect that Guard Ding's seven-orificed and exquisite heart could unravel such deceptions. I am so impressed by my master." Gong Yangquan praised Ding Xiaoyi.
"The Imperial Master is ridiculous, it's just a cover-up. Master Liao is not a practitioner, so we make things complicated.
, naturally preconceptions, judging this matter from the perspective of a practitioner. "
Ding Xiaoyi waved his hand and said.
Luo Qiang had arranged for people to search for Lord Liao throughout the city. Liu Wusheng came back soon. He also arranged for the navy soldiers to disperse to search for Lord Liao.
"Let's go, today is the day for Sword Island to collect tribute, let's go back to the palace and have a look."
Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Gongyang Quan said to everyone.
As for Jiandao coming to collect tribute,
Ding Xiaoyi had already learned about it from Tan Tianya.
Paying tribute can also be called annual tribute. The Liusu Kingdom hands over some supplies or treasures every year to pray for the protection of Sword Island.
As for what the tribute was, he didn't know. It would be good to go to the palace to see the tribute from the Liusu Kingdom.
Prince Geng had also heard a little bit about Jiandao's collection of annual tribute, but he had not seen what the tribute prepared by Liusu Kingdom was.
The national preceptor of the Liusu Kingdom invited them, and it was hard for them to shirk the offer.
Luo Qiang arranged for the Imperial Guard to search for Master Liao. Only Prince Geng and Ding Xiaoyi went to the palace together with Gong Yangquan.
Along the way, Gongyang Quan introduced to Prince Geng what the tributes paid to Jiandao were. Ding Xiaoyi didn’t ask anything. He just listened quietly. .
The post house is not too far from the palace.
They arrived at the palace in a few seconds, and Ding Xiaoyi saw the young sword cultivator from Sword Island again.
The middle-aged man carrying a sword was having a lively conversation with King Liusu. Seeing the arrival of Prince Geng and others, King Liusu immediately introduced him to the strong man from Sword Island.
Ding Xiaoyi looked at King Liusu. He found that King Liusu had no aura of cultivation at all and was just an ordinary mortal.
"Dongfang Qianqiu has met Prince Geng",
The middle-aged man with the sword on his back bowed his hand to Prince Geng, and then said perfunctorily.
Seeing Dongfang Qianqiu being so perfunctory, King Liusu showed an embarrassed smile.
The young man from Sword Island, Dongfang Jianchen, looked at Ding Xiaoyi with burning eyes, his eyes full of fighting intent.
Ding Xiaoyi smiled calmly,
Are all Jiandao disciples like this? Their eyes are higher than their heads, and they have an arrogant attitude.
"You are Dayong's bodyguard, and you are also a swordsman?"
This was the second time Dongfang Jianchen saw Ding Xiaoyi, and then he looked at Ding Xiaoyi seriously.
Only then did he see that Ding Xiaoyi was also carrying a long sword behind him, but the sword was wrapped in coarse cloth and had no scabbard.
"I'm just an ordinary guard, not a swordsman by any means."
Ding Xiaoyi said very modestly.
He naturally knew Dongfang Jianchen's inner thoughts,
Looking at the unkind looks in the eyes of this father and son, there is definitely nothing good going on.
"You are not a sword cultivator, so why are you carrying a sword? I heard that you Dayong sword cultivators regard the sword pavilion as the most respected one. Are you a disciple of the sword pavilion?"
Dongfang Jianchen said to Ding Xiaoyi aggressively.
Hearing Dongfang Jianchen's aggressive words, Ding Xiaoyi's face darkened slightly.
He looked at Dongfang Jianchen coldly and said, "If you're not a swordsman, you can't carry the sword. Who made the rule? It doesn't matter if I like to carry the sword."
"you……",
Dongfang Jianchen was speechless for a moment.
He was so angry that he couldn't say a word. He pointed at Ding Xiaoyi and his whole body was shaking.
"Why, you want to fight? I'm here to help you. You're just the last of the seven Canglong shows. What's so great about you?"
Ding Xiaoyi joked to Dongfang Jianchen unceremoniously.
