Emperor Jiangtai rolls like water and Yiren

"Brother Jun, is this your first visit to Xiliu?" After taking a sip of tea, Weiming said after looking at the snacks on the table.

Ruoshui raised his eyebrows, blinked his eyes with curiosity, "How do you know?"

"Xiliu soup dumplings are famous all over the world, but the local residents have eaten too much, but they no longer find it fresh." He glanced at the two cages of soup dumplings on the table, and Weiming shrugged slightly, indicating that this was obvious at a glance.

Just because the soup dumplings are famous, the price is more expensive than ordinary dim sum. Foreigners who come to Xiliu for the first time are willing to spend money to taste delicious food, but for the local people, they don’t want to waste the money. .

"Hehe, brother Weiming is really perceptive. I am indeed new here." Picking up a soup dumpling and putting it in his mouth, Ruoshui smiled contentedly and narrowed his eyes.

"Looking for relatives? Or asylum?"

"Isn't it enough to travel around the mountains and play in the water?"

"Oh? Traveling in the mountains and rivers during the war? Brother Jun is very interested."

"Indeed, I like to play in my life. I heard that Xiliu is picturesque, so I can't help but want to come and have a look."

"Xi Liu is really picturesque, but now that the flames of war are burning, I'm afraid even the scenery has a bit of awe-inspiring air." Playing with the small porcelain cup in his hand, the implication of the unidentified words is not difficult to hear.

Ruoshui nodded, and ate the last piece of almond cake, with a clever smile on his face, but he said in his heart: Hmph, you want to go round and round to interrogate me?How can it be so easy!

"It seems that I was nosy and blocked the crossbow before, which made Brother Weiming suspicious of me, but I really just came to visit the mountains and rivers, whether Brother Weiming believes it or not."

After finishing speaking, he just swallowed the last soup dumpling, stood up with an innocent smile on his face, threw out a few ingots of broken silver, took the long sword wrapped in cloth and a simple package on the table, and He smiled and said, "In order to return my innocence as soon as possible, brother Weiming, please."

Seeing his smile without flustered or helpless, Weiming felt a little surprised in his heart. If he met others and took the initiative to rescue him but was still suspected, he might feel very angry, but this Jun Ruoshui was still smiling, take it seriously They don't look angry.

This guy is really a strange person. Not only is his martial arts superb, but his mind also seems to be beyond the reach of ordinary people.

When they went downstairs, Xiao Er had already pulled out their horses, and the two horses, one red and one white, were rubbing head to head, looking intimate as if they had known each other for a long time.

Weiming and Ruoshui both showed surprise when they saw this scene, and wondered how their mount, which has always been kept away from humans and animals, suddenly changed its temper.

"Liuyun, why don't you refuse to give birth today, huh?" Ruoshui walked to the side of the white horse, stretched out his hand to stroke its silver mane, and asked softly in his mouth.

Liu Yun raised his head and rubbed against his forehead, then stuck out his tongue to lick his cheek and neck, which made Ruoshui laugh.

Weiming also walked over at this time, the red horse looked like Liu Yun, rubbing and licking at its owner, if an outsider who didn't know saw the appearance of these two horses, I'm afraid they would really think they were direct blood relatives Woolen cloth.

"What's your horse's name?" Ruoshui thought it was funny, turned around and asked with a smile.

"Chixia."

"Huh? It's a mare? No wonder it fascinated my Liuyun all of a sudden."

Smiling and shaking his head, Ruoshui stretched out his hand and scratched Liuyun's nose, treated him like a man, and said jokingly: "Liuyun, Liuyun, it doesn't matter if you have a sweetheart, but don't give me the master one day." Forgot."

Liu Yun seemed to understand what he said, neighed softly and then rubbed against him a few times.

Weiming watched helplessly from the sidelines, listening to Ruoshui's words, black lines almost appeared on his forehead, but he also turned his head to look at Chixia, his dark eyes clearly conveyed what Ruoshui said just now.

Chixia didn't react like Liuyun did, but her deep black eyes stared straight at Weiming, showing her heart firmly.

The similar expressions of one person and one horse made Ruoshui beside him couldn't help laughing even more, thinking that the horse is like its master!

Hearing his laughter, Weiming softened his expression a lot, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Chixia's head, and then got on the horse.

The two rode to the mansion, and before dismounting, a soldier rushed out of the mansion, saw Weiming, and knelt down in panic, "His Royal Highness, it's not good, that assassin..."

I didn't hear the words behind clearly, Weiming and Ruoshui had already walked into the gate quickly, and the two went straight to the prison, which was in chaos.

"What happened?" With a cold face, as soon as the voice fell, the group of people who were in chaos in the prison all "thumped" and knelt down.

The previous corporal almost knocked his head to the ground, his voice was so panicked that he couldn't even speak, "Your Highness, that...the assassin didn't know why...suddenly vomited black blood...now...now..."

Hearing this, Wei Mingchao glanced at the apparently dead assassin who had fallen by the wall, his stern face was suddenly covered with haze, and a layer of cold air burst out of his body instantly, almost shaking the air in the dungeon. All freeze up.

He was about to have a seizure, but Ruoshui by his side rushed to the wall. He picked up the assassin, felt his breath, took his pulse, and sniffed the blood on the assassin's front. After a while, he frowned and shook his head. .

"Brother Weiming, quickly gather all the people who have come into contact with this person just now, the person who poisoned him must be among them." Raising his head, Ruoshui said quickly, and the sly smile that he had been wearing before was also put away stand up.

Just now he touched a few big acupuncture points on the assassin's body, he himself should not be able to move, even now, those acupuncture points have not been unlocked, it can be seen that the person who poisoned must not be the assassin himself.

Weiming nodded slightly, and looked at the corporal leader with displeased sharp eyes.

Under the dim light of the cell, his face as cold as an ice sculpture was suffused with evil spirits, and the corporal leader was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe out, and immediately kowtowed and ran out.

The other two kneeling next to them are the jailers of this cell. They have never seen any important figures in their daily life, but now they see that they have not given orders, so they are all kneeling stupidly, not knowing what to do.

Ruoshui walked up to Weiming, and before he could speak, Weiming took the lead to ask, "Do you know medical skills?"

"It's just superficial." Sighing lightly, Ruo Shui looked a little far away, and then glanced at the assassin's body on the ground, with a touch of sadness in Ruo Shui's bright eyes.

Although he took the shot to restrain the assassin, he didn't intend to let him die here. After all, this person was only ordered by others, not to mention the life of licking blood with a knife is not easy.

Therefore, when Weiming invited him to interrogate him, he secretly made up his mind to ask Weiming for a favor to let him live after the question came out, but he didn't expect that before the question was asked, the man was gone.

"Brother Weiming, although he is an enemy, he is still a human life. Let him be buried in a safe place." After finishing speaking with a soft sigh, Ruoshui walked out of the prison without waiting for Weiming's answer.

Outside the prison, the corporal chief and some sergeants were pressing four people over. Ruo Shui's eyes lightly swept over the four people, and he recognized that they were the soldiers who had just escorted the assassin.

Behind him, Weiming came out with big strides, the silver battle armor on his body reflected the dazzling light in the sun, piercing people's eyes with dull pain.

"Brother Jun, you must already know who poisoned you." A cold and indifferent voice sounded, and Weiming turned to look at Ruoshui, with no expression on his face, but deep emotions flowed in his slightly narrowed eyes.

"The poison poisoned by the assassin is Xia Hua Ning, which comes from the Baimi Kingdom. The poison is colorless and odorless. When it touches the skin, it will turn blue when it meets water. The four of them dipped their hands in the water, and the truth will be revealed."

As soon as this remark came out, Wei Mingchao's corporal took a look, and the corporal immediately sent someone to fetch water knowingly, and after a while, four basins of clean water were placed in front of the four soldiers.

The soldiers guarding them quickly put the hands of the four of them into the water, but after a long time, none of the basins of water turned blue.

If the water walked slowly, he was not in a hurry when he saw the four pots of clear water. He just asked the four of them to withdraw their hands, and walked to the maple tree on the other side, knelt down and picked up a piece of soil, and then divided it into four parts and sprinkled it in. into the water.

The soil should not melt when it enters the water, but the soil in one of the four basins melted quickly after entering the water.

It turned out that the words of turning blue when encountering water were just a cover, Ruoshui was just trying to make the spies relax their vigilance, what he really wanted to see was Xia Huaning's unique mud-melting characteristics.

And this point, most of the people who use Xia Huaning are not aware of it.

Looking at the only basin of clear water that had changed, Ruoshui raised her phoenix eyes slightly, and her sharp eyes shot at the surprised young soldier standing by the basin.

The young soldier was also looking at him. The moment his eyes met, the soldier reached out and grabbed the water basin and poured it on Ruo Shui.

The water that melted the soil had turned black, if the water rushed back, but it was still not stained by the water, he shook his sleeves, waved away the few drops of water that splashed towards him, and then swiped towards the soldier again.

He worked so hard with his feet that he couldn't see his footsteps moving forward or backward, as if he was floating.

Behind him, Weiming looked coldly at the back of him and the soldier entangled together, and there was no emotion in his deep and dark eyes.

He didn't order the corporal chief and others to help, so everyone could only watch Ruoshui fighting with the soldier nervously, with cold sweat gradually forming on their palms.

The soldier's martial arts skills were especially superior to those of the previous assassins.

He does not use weapons, his hands are bent into claws, his moves are peculiar, the falsehood makes people lose sight of the point, but his moves go straight to the opponent's eyes, heart, lungs and other vital points.

Such a desperate style of fighting, if an ordinary opponent goes up, I am afraid that he has already beaten him helplessly.

However, Ruoshui's moves seemed simple and gentle, but he easily dissipated all his attacks invisibly. His bare hands were elegant, and the white gown flashed a white shadow in the field of vision, like snow like flowers, brilliant If flashy.

After dozens of strokes, Ruoshui found a gap and slapped the soldier on the back, knocking him down immediately.

The soldier was falling at the feet of Weiming, when Weiming lifted his foot and stepped on the wound on his back, he immediately screamed.

"Who sent you here?" A voice as cold as a millennium's ice spit out from Unknown's mouth, killing intent appeared in his dark eyes, and the foot that stepped on the man's back activated magic power, It can cause extreme pain without hurting internal organs.

The soldier lay on the ground unable to resist, his face was already pale from the pain, and he was almost colorless, but he still stubbornly refused to say a word.

Ruoshui looked at him, and slowly frowned his slender eyebrows. If this man really would rather die than tell, then naturally he would not be able to plead for him.

Weiming obviously lost his patience, and with a wave of his hand, he drew out the long sword from his waist and put it on the man's neck.

The sword gave off a blue-colored cold light in the sun, and there was a low whistle of the sword whistling through the vibrations. There was also a jade pendant hanging at the end of the hilt, with golden strings and tassels, which seemed to be the same as the one on Weiming's waist. pair.

What a good sword, Ruoshui couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"You think that if you don't tell me, I won't know that you were sent by Yin Mubai? Isn't Xia Huaning also invented by him?"

There was a sneer on his lips, Weiming's expression at this moment was like Shura from hell.

The soldier trembled when he heard Yin Mubai's name, and this one action made Weiming understand that his guess was not wrong.

Yin Mubai was originally a counselor who joined the army of Baimi Kingdom, and later made a lot of military exploits and was promoted to general.

In the previous battles between Xiliu and Baimi, he repeatedly made strange moves. He is a genius in military art. If Baimi hadn't had him, he might have been annexed by Xiliu long ago.

In addition to being full of military tricks, he is also a master of poison.

In the past wars between various countries and the Baimi country, there were many sergeants who were poisoned and died tragically after being killed by him. Therefore, it is not in vain that he is called the Baimi ghost by the countries.

Now he actually resorted to such assassination methods before going to the battlefield. It can be seen that the situation of Bai Mi's army has indeed reached its limit, and I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the frontal attack of Xiliu's army.

"Go back and tell Yin Mubai that I'm waiting to meet him on the battlefield." Putting away his long sword, Weiming kicked the soldier away with a stern expression, like a god of war descended from heaven.

There are maple trees planted in the courtyard, and the maple leaves all over the courtyard dye the field of vision red. Where the wind blows, several maple leaves swirl and fall, and one of them is falling on the unknown silver shoulder armor, just like that There was blood everywhere.

Looking at this scene, Ruoshui suddenly felt palpitations for some reason.

It wasn't until the soldier stumbled away that Ruoshui said jokingly again: "I never thought that you would show kindness and spare him."

When I saw his long sword unsheathed just now, I thought that the soldier would surely die, but I didn't know that he would let him go, it was really unexpected.

"You don't want him to die." Gently brushing the maple leaves on his shoulders, Weiming opened his mouth, a very light sentence, but like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, it flashed across Ruoshui's mind.

He actually knew?He didn't show his thoughts at all, why would he know?

Seeing Ruoshui's wide-open phoenix eyes full of disbelief, Weiming's lips slightly raised, revealing a vague complacency.

Walking to his side, he lowered his head slightly and looked directly at the pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to be able to suck away the soul of a person, and the unidentified obsidian-like eyes burst out with a confident light.

"Just now when you saw the assassin's body in the cell, you already showed a regretful expression." The calm tone was full of affirmation.

"Huh? The cell is so dark, how can you see clearly?" He raised his eyebrows, his surprise was beyond words.

"Yes."

"Brother Weiming really has good eyesight."

Ruoshui frowned and smiled, but felt a little helpless in his heart, it seemed that this person really observed himself carefully, and he was really worried that he and the assassin were on the same side.

I didn't know what he was thinking, and was about to explain, but the sound of chaotic footsteps came from the entrance of the courtyard. The two people who were staring at each other were both trembling, and turned their heads to look away hastily.

A lot of maple leaves in the courtyard floated down again, and pieces of maple red floated into the field of vision, causing some entanglements that could not be clearly and logically arranged.

"Your Highness, I'm damned, it's too late to save you." The visitor was wearing an official uniform, and he was about to kneel in front of Weiming.

Ruoshui thought that he should be the magistrate of Jianzhu City, and judging by his attitude towards Weiming, it seemed that Weiming might be the young master of a noble family.

It's a pity that he doesn't know anything about the situation of Xiliu's princely officials, otherwise he could have speculated about the unknown background.

"Master Cheng, don't blame yourself, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Weiming waved his hand away from Mr. Cheng, and after he stood up straight, he pointed to Ruoshui beside him and said, "This is Jun Ruoshui, my friend, thanks to his help in this matter, he came from other provinces, and also Please Master Cheng treat me well."

"Brother Weiming, you..." Ruoshui was surprised when he heard the words, raised his eyebrows and looked at Weiming. What he meant...had he admitted himself?

"As the commander-in-chief of the whole army, I can't stay here for a long time. If I meet again in the future, I will treat you to have a drink."

Clenching his fists together, Weiming looked directly at him with clear eyes, Ruoshui understood the meaning contained in it.

They met by chance, but they were destined not to be from the same world. Since then, they have parted ways. They went their separate ways on the single-plank bridge and Yangguan Road.

Now that he has realized that he is not a spy, the purpose of his stay is over.

"Okay, then Ruoshui is here to wish Brother Weiming a triumphant return soon." Like the opponent clasped his fists, Ruoshui raised the corners of his lips to reveal his signature sly smile.

He thought of their encounter in the morning by the mountains and rivers. The mountains and rivers were not deliberate, but just the ever-changing world.

After Weiming left, Ruoshui decided to stay at the prefect of Cheng for a day.

As a newcomer to Xiliu, he still has a lot of things to inquire about first, not to mention that Liuyun has been quite tired these days, so he just took this opportunity to let him have a good rest.

At noon, Cheng Zhifu and his wife entertained Ruoshui for a meal in the mansion. The three of them gathered around a round table, and some delicate side dishes were placed on the table.

"My lord, Mr. Cheng would like to offer you a toast first, thank you for blocking the arrow for His Highness, and helping him catch the spies." Holding up the white porcelain wine glass, Cheng Zhifu laughed loudly.

He is over fifty years old, but he is still tough and bold, and his smile is even more kind.

Ruoshui didn't refuse, raised the wine glass to thank and drank it down, "This time is really a coincidence, Ruoshui doesn't dare to take credit, but it's Master Cheng, Ruoshui just came to Xiliu, and there are still some things I want to ask you."

"My lord, it's okay to say."

"When I was passing through the border of Xuhe country, I heard that Emperor Xiliujing was seriously ill. Is it true?"

"Hey, yes, the emperor's dragon body is not in good shape, and it has been a while."

"Then the one who is in power now is really the prince?"

"Huh?" Hearing Ruoshui's question, Mr. Cheng couldn't help frowning strangely.

After looking at the lady next to him, he brushed his half-length beard and asked: "Since Mr. Jun is a friend of His Highness, how come you don't know about this?"

"To be honest, brother Weiming and I just met this morning." Shaking his head helplessly, Ruoshui smiled calmly.

Master Cheng was even more surprised, and stared his eyes until the size of copper bells, "This is strange, Mr. Jun doesn't know, His Highness..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a shout from the front yard, "My lord, my lord, it's bad! There are more corpses in the cell of the government office!"

With the voice, the person who ran in was the jailer in the government prison that Ruoshui had seen before.

Master Cheng stood up when he heard Huo Di, his expression changed suddenly, "What did you say? A corpse? Where did the corpse come from in the prison?"

Jianzhu is a small peaceful town, and there has never been much of a big deal, so the government prison is like a decoration, and no one has ever been imprisoned, and the body of the assassin who was temporarily thrown in before has been buried by someone.

Ruoshui also changed his face when he heard this, raised his phoenix eyes and thought for a moment, got up and walked quickly to the jailer, pulled him up and walked out, "Take me to see!"

The jailer recognized him as the person standing next to Weiming in the morning, and without waiting for Mr. Cheng's order, he turned around and led the way.

Mr. Cheng told his wife to stay, and he followed quickly.

The three of them rushed to the prison, only to see another jailer and a few guards from the government office surrounded by a corner, the corner was not normally illuminated by sunlight, and they could only see clearly now by relying on the torch in the jailer's hand.

A man was curled up on the ground in the corner, his clothes had been ripped off, and he was only wearing close-fitting underwear. His body was bent into an unnatural shape, and a dagger was stuck in the back of his heart. He was clearly dead.

Ruo Shui yelled inwardly that it was not good, stepped forward and turned the corpse over, under the firelight, what appeared in front of everyone was clearly the face of the corporal leader who was following Weiming!

"Come on, it's not clear that there's danger!" Ruo Shui stood up and walked out after sniffing the corporal to confirm that he was dead.

They didn't know that they were too careless, and they didn't even know that the people around them had been swapped.

No wonder the corporal always kept his head down and didn't dare to look directly at Weiming. Ruoshui only said that he was timid, but he didn't expect that he was afraid of being seen through.

I thought the spies had been wiped out, but now it seems that among the more than a hundred people who are following Weiming, I don't know how many spies have been mixed in!

Running straight out of the gate of the Fuya, Ruoshui whistled with his finger, the howling sound pierced the sky like a dragon's chant, fortunately the Fuya is not far from the magistrate's mansion, Liuyun must have heard this long howl.

"Young Master Jun, you must save His Highness! The Xiliu Army cannot live without him, and the Xiliu Kingdom cannot live without him!"

Cheng Zhifu, who was chasing him out, shouted loudly, already sweating profusely, the strangeness in this matter, without Ruoshui's mention, he had already guessed seven or eight eight.

Now Weiming is chasing the army alone with more than a hundred people, and on the way he has to pass a mountain that is inaccessible. That must be the best time for the assassin to strike.

What's more, they still don't know how many assassins there are among the more than a hundred people, if there are too many assassins, they may have encountered accidents if they don't know.

"Master Cheng, don't worry, I'm his friend just because I don't understand, Ruoshui should do his best."

Clenching his fists tightly, Ruoshui's expression was firm, and he put away all his joking thoughts. Not far away, the sound of Liuyun's horse's hooves could be heard faintly.

In fact, he didn't know what the sudden impulse in his heart was at the moment, he only knew that at the moment when he knew that there was danger in the unknown, there was a voice lingering in his ears.

To save him!Save the unknown!

He turned around and bid farewell to Mr. Cheng, but he heard Mr. Cheng murmured, "It's great, His Royal Highness can make friends like Mr. Jun, and it's also his blessing."

A sentence exploded in Ruoshui's ears like thunder, and Liuyun had rushed to his eyes, he got on the horse in a daze, but instead of urging Liuyun to go on the road immediately, his eyes suddenly widened.
