"Just wait and see what happens, is this what Miss Lin means?" Cheng Yanqi vaguely sensed the implication of Lin Xixue's words.
"Yes, he used Xiaoqu to force me to submit. This is a trump card that Yanyou must obtain. For such an important matter, given his character, he must have not only arranged for Shuyu to investigate, but there is also a high probability that other forces will intervene."
The two of them followed in hiding until the carriage left the city without encountering anything unusual. Not long after, the carriage successfully arrived at the Yunchui Guards station.
"Miss Lin, could it be that you are worrying too much? As far as I know, Yanyou does not have other spies in his hands."
Lin Xixue frowned, wondering if she was really worrying too much? But this style of behavior always feels different from Yanyou's previous strategies.
After all, Yanyou's previous design had calculated many possibilities in advance and almost led him into a ditch completely.
"This matter is strange. I think Yanyou must still have some backup plans, but since Yanyou is not in a hurry to act, I have to change my action strategy."
Lin Xixue waited patiently for a group of soldiers to arrange for Qu Ruoyin to enter the guest room, and then sneaked into Shi Xueqian's room with Cheng Yanqi. She saw that although he had broken one hand and one leg, he was still lighting an oil lamp and staying up late to deal with military affairs. .
"General Shi is very efficient in his work. He got me the person back so quickly."
Hearing the voice that suddenly appeared behind him, Shi Xueqian instinctively reached for the long sword lying aside, but suddenly realized that his eight-sided sword had been cut off by the owner of the voice.
"Miss Lin is so well-versed in information, and can enter and leave the Yunchui Guard station as if there is no one around. She is really powerful."
"Let's go and ask these hundreds of households what they were thinking at that time."
Lin Xixue could naturally kill these hundreds of households with one sword, but she wanted to see what the attitudes of Qu Ruoyin and Shi Xueqian were.
However, Cheng Yanqi, who had been silent beside her, suddenly spoke: "Brother Shi, long time no see."
Shi Xueqian looked at Cheng Yanqi, who was dressed as a man, and raised his head slightly. He tried to recall for a long time but had no clue. He asked confusedly: "Who is this brother?"
"You and I met once when we were children in the Marquis of Wuwei. More than ten years have passed, and it's normal that Brother Shi doesn't remember me." Cheng Yanqi shook her folding fan lightly, her expression as calm as an ancient well.
"Marquis of Wuwei? Please forgive me for my bad memory, and please tell me your name."
"Now I'm just a commoner. I won't tell you my name or taboo. I would like to ask Brother Shi to cooperate with Miss Lin to deal with the important matters first."
Shi Xueqian frowned slightly, but did not take the matter to heart. He was about to call his cronies to bring Baihu over, but was stopped by Lin Xixue.
"There is no need for a public interrogation or a formal punishment. I just want to know privately what these hundreds of households were thinking at that time."
Shi Xueqian naturally did not dare to say no, but quietly followed Lin Xixue to pick up the man from the cell and went to Qu Ruoyin's residence together.
However, when they arrived at the residence, Lin Xixue saw that Qu Ruoyin had actually found a wooden stick wrapped with cloth strips and was waving it around to practice controlling the sword.
However, when Lin Xixue saw her cracked mouth and black eyes, she felt her heart aching, and she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
When Qu Ruoyin saw the person coming, the wooden stick in her hand hung motionless in the air. After a while, she said in shock: "Sister Lin, why are you here."
Lin Xixue gently stroked the corner of her mouth and said softly: "How are you doing? Does it still hurt?"
Qu Ruoyin lowered her eyes, her eyes sparkling, but in the end she just shook her head and did not shed any tears.
"Good boy, open your mouth." Lin Xixue had heard that Qu Ruoyin's teeth had been knocked out, so she naturally wanted to check it out now.
After some inspection, it was found that three teeth on the right side were missing, two of them had their roots broken in the gums, and several other teeth were also loose.
She only felt that the evil spirit in her Dantian began to boil faintly again. She narrowed her eyes and continued to ask: "Is the injured eye still clear now?"
Qu Ruoyin hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't see clearly, but I can barely see clearly."
Lin Xixue nodded, covered her uninjured left eye, stretched her other hand back, then stretched out three fingers and asked, "Can you still see clearly how many fingers these are?"
"It seems like four, or three, me." Qu Ruoyin clenched her clothes uneasily.
Lin Xixue took a long breath from her nostrils, gritted her teeth and nodded, then touched Qu Ruoyin's head, turned around to face Shi Xueqian, and said with a smile: "General Shi, you should understand the situation. "
"Shi is already aware of this and will definitely deal with it impartially." Shi Xueqian looked ashamed and did not dare to look at Lin Xixue head-on.
"No, no, no, you don't need to handle this matter impartially. I just want you to see what kind of virtue the hundreds of households under your control are." Lin Xixue couldn't help but sneer after hearing this.
She walked up to Baihu and kicked him away. She flew out like a dead dog and hit the wall directly, making a muffled "bang" sound.
She had restrained her strength as much as possible, otherwise this kick could directly turn these hundreds of households into a pile of minced meat.
She slowly approached, walked to the side of Baihu, lifted him up by his collar, and said with a smile, "Tell me, what were you thinking at that time?"
The hundred households seemed to have been frightened by Lin Xixue's smile, and they had already begun to talk nonsense, "The villain drank some wine at that time and got into his head. I don't know that Miss Qu is a friend of the Lord. Please spare my life, Lord, please spare my life."
"I'll ask you again. You have to answer carefully. What were your thoughts at that time and why did you beat Xiaoqu?" Lin Xixue spoke in a gentle voice, but she could not hide the coldness in her tone.
"I, I, I got drunk from drinking and had a headache. I just wanted to find a place to rest, and then I saw Miss Qu practicing her sword in the yard."
"I was dizzy at the time, and I just thought that what she practiced was just fancy tricks, not to mention what's the use of women practicing martial arts. It's better to be more calm, cultivate some virtues, and be gentle and virtuous. Then I laughed at Miss Qu without thinking. "
"Then Miss Qu argued that what she was learning was not fancy tricks, and then I taught her a lesson. It was not a lesson, but a mean hand, which caused a conflict with Miss Qu."
"I am a bitch, I am a bitch. If Miss Qu is dissatisfied, you can chop off my bitch claws, but my wife and child are already eight months pregnant and are about to give birth. I beg the governor, please let me live." .”
As these hundreds of households were talking, tears were streaming down their faces, and they couldn't tell the difference between tears and runny noses.
"Hahahahahahahahaha!"
Lin Xixue laughed wildly at first, threw Baihu on the ground, and said this sentence without any beginning or end.
"You know, I actually sometimes envy people who can drink."
"Alcohol is really a very versatile excuse. All irrational and unreasonable things can be blamed on this source of all evil."
"I never drink alcohol, but today, for the sake of Lord Baihu, maybe I can make an exception and drink some strong liquor. In this way, I can get drunk and do whatever I want."
"Lord Baihu, what do you think?"
Chapter 2 will probably be out at 1:30, friends, let’s read it tomorrow!
