Second, the ever-changing witch
Two, the witch changes
It was still drizzling, the wind was shaking, the waves were surging, waves were surging, and the ships were shaking, and the wooden porcelain lamps and fireworks in the room swayed, reflecting the huge black shadows of the two people on the bulkhead opposite. The shadow of the man in black was obviously shorter than Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan heard a faint fragrance, frowned, and said leisurely: "It's windy, the weather is getting colder every day, I'm going to add clothes."
The man in black said annoyedly: "Who talks with you about family matters! Tell me, how did Liu Jixing die?" The voice was strange, not as rough as before.
Zhou Xuan asked: "Who are you? Do you have a grudge against Emperor Liu Jixing of Han?"
The man in black said, "Don't worry about who I am, answer my question honestly, or you will be chopped up and thrown into the sea with one knife."
Zhou Xuan said: "If you kill me, where can you escape? Isn't it just a matter of asking, why are you so nervous? If you have something to say, sit down and say--" As he said that, he wanted to walk to the chair in front of the couch and sit down.
Zhou Xuan was the cruel Yu Yixiao who was the best at transforming the butcher. The man in black was stunned. He felt that the situation was not as he had mastered. The hostage was not as scared as a hostage. He couldn't help but get angry. When the blade was pulled, Zhou Xuan's neck was cut with a shallow mark, and blood flowed down. He said coldly: "If you kill you, I will still be free. As long as I am willing, it is not difficult to kill all the people on the ship."
Zhou Xuan stubbornly said, "Are you afraid of me?"
"I'm afraid of you?" The man in black sneered: "It's easy for me to kill you!"
Zhou Xuan said: "I have no power to tie a chicken. If you ask me why I have to use a knife to hold it so tightly? Or are you afraid that I will recognize you?"
The man in black moved the huge shadow reflected on the wall, silent for a while, then took a step back and said, "Sit down."
Zhou Xuan sat down, and without looking at the man in black, he first wiped the blood marks on his neck with his fingers. The fingertips were bright red, and he shook his head and said, "I really regret it-"
The man in black said wonderingly: "What do you regret?"
Zhou Xuan said: "I wanted to practice martial arts hard in the early years, but later because I was indulging in pleasure, I didn't practice it. I didn't expect that I finally suffered a big loss today!"
The man in black said coldly: "It's better not to practice. If you practice, you will be miserable now and die faster--"
Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, stop talking, just ask if you have any questions - by the way, let me ask you first, do you know who I am?" At this time, Fang looked up at the man in black in front of him. The man in black was short, similar to the fourth child. He was wearing a beard hat but not covered with a veil. He was an ordinary middle-aged man with no characteristics in his eyebrows, eyes and facial features, but he had a red mole on his lower jaw, which was very conspicuous. He had a dark dagger in his hand. Although he had no sharpness, he was filled with a cold air.
The man in black snorted coldly and said, "You are Zhou Xuan, the Duke of Xinzhou County of Tang Guo, Humph, do you think I will be scared?"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I don't mean that. It seems that you are a close friend of your enemy. But you asked the late Han Emperor Liu Jixing how he died. This really surprised me. Liu Jixing collapsed unexpectedly. There were many people present at that time. Why did you come to ask me?"
The man in black said word by word: "I suspect you killed Liu Jixing."
Zhou Xuan was shocked and said, "Where did you start with this? Liu Jixing is not my father. Why did I kill him?"
The man in black was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Zhou Xuan said: "Killing people and setting fires, robbing money and sex, there must be a reason. What are the benefits of killing Liu Jixing? I am not a murderer! Do you think I returned home with tens of taels of gold and want to rob? Just say, saving my life is important, I will give you gold."
The man in black said disdainfully: "Ten Thousand Taxis of Gold? I haven't seen it yet. Why did you say that Liu Jixing is not your father, so you won't kill him?"
Zhou Xuan said: "You can imagine that fighting for the throne is just an assumption. In fact, there is no need for Liu Shousu to kill Liu Jixing. Liu Jixing has no other son. Sooner or later, isn't the throne his? Why be so anxious!"
Zhou Xuan just talked nonsense and delayed time waiting for someone to come to rescue him. For some reason, the man in black actually trembled slightly after hearing Zhou Xuan's words, and seemed very angry. After a while, he calmed down and asked again: "Who are your two subordinates - Lao San and Lao Si?"
Zhou Xuan said: "Who are you? What do you want to do? I will ask Liu Jixing's death, and then I will ask who my subordinates are--"
The man in black asked and answered: "If you don't say it, I know that they are the three and four ignorant among the Five Idiots."
Zhou Xuan was shocked. How could this person know the true identity of the Three Crazy and Four Crazy? He guessed it? He smiled and said, "Do you think the famous Five Crazy Rangers will be willing to be my slave? I said that the leader of the Falcon Sect is also my subordinate. Do you believe it?"
"you--"
The man in black glared at Zhou Xuan: "Then do you think, did Liu Shousu conspire with you to kill Liu Jixing?"
Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "You are so confused. I don't understand what you want to do. Why do I conspire with Liu Shousu to murder Liu Jixing? Liu Jixing was watching people and beasts fight in the Colosseum. There were many eunuchs, palace maids, and warriors present at that time. He squeezed out the guardrail and killed many people. Why did I kill this? Chen Yanshou, the minister of the Yellow Gate, was also there, why didn't you ask him!"
The man in black was silent, staring at Zhou Xuan, and said, "I will ask--"
Suddenly, someone shouted on the deck: "A clutch is chasing me from behind, be careful, be careful."
The man in black frowned, suddenly his body was rushing and jumped out of the porthole.
Zhou Xuan was shocked and was about to get up to see it. The breeze was scattered. The four cynical people flashed into the door and came to him. They asked anxiously: "Master, aren't you hurt?"
Sanchi, Lin Ning, and Yang Zongbao all came in.
Yang Zongbao asked: "Why does the county magistrate come here when he falls asleep?"
Zhou Xuan said: "It's okay." He quickly walked to the porthole and looked at it. The moisture of the sea water was filled with water, the waves surged, and the sea and the sky were heavy.
Zhou Xuan turned around and said in surprise: "No, this man jumped into the sea! What's wrong with this? It's inexplicable."
Sichi said, "I have been peeping around for a long time. This person is a woman. She can't jump into the sea. She has gone to the cabin below."
The Sichi himself is dressed as a man and has a lot of experience.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "It's good if you haven't jumped into the sea, so go and catch her." As he said that, he shook a small porcelain bottle in his hand.
Sizi asked: "What is this?"
Zhou Xuan said: "This is the strange fragrance given to me by Guangling salt merchant Wang Shizhang. I just sprinkled a few slight foam on the man in black, and asked Lihu to take Lulu to find it-"
At this time, Lin Ji, with two Jinwu Guards and a boatman, hurried to report that three fast ships were catching up quickly and uttered a lantern saying that there was no malice and asked us to stop the ship.
Zhou Xuan went on the deck with everyone to watch. He saw three rows of ship lights coming from the west on the dark sea. The ship was very fast, probably paddling with manpower. It was not yet reached the Chaozhou coast. It shouldn't be a sea ship from the eight countries of Zhongtian. Which country's ship is it?
Zhou Xuan had no time to let Lihu take the golden retriever Lulu to track the man in black. First, he wanted to see if the three ships he was chasing were enemies or friends in the space?
Lin Ji has already ordered six warships to turn around and intercept them. If they were sea ships from the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian, they would hit stones with eggs. Zhou Xuan had as many as 100 guard ships and 8,000 naval troops, which was a huge fleet.
After a long time, a strange fast ship slowly approached the sea ship that Zhou Xuan was riding under the surveillance of two Quanzhou naval warships. A navy commander whispered: "Report - it's a ship from the Han Dynasty. A woman who calls herself Lu Qiongxian wants to meet Duke Zhou Jun."
Zhou Xuan was shocked when he heard this. Lu Qiongxian, what are she doing?
Lin Ning said nervously: "Lu Qiongxian is most likely the leader of the Falcon Sect, so don't let her get on the boat."
Zhou Xuan thought for a while and said, "If she was here to seek revenge, she wouldn't be so blatant. After all, this is on the sea, and she wouldn't be able to get out of it herself - I think Lu Qiongxian came for the man in black." He immediately sent a letter to let Lu Qiongxian's ship approach.
The two ships got closer and closer. There were dozens of pokers on the side of the ship using a three-meter-long tough long poker against each other's side to prevent the two ships from colliding. Then they slowly retracted the poker, and finally the two ships moved closer together.
A string of red lanterns hung on the forecastle, Lu Qiongxian stood on the bow of the boat with beautiful makeup and beautiful clothes. A strong eunuch supported the green roe to hide the rain. Her voice was neither light nor heavy, and Zhou Xuan, who was several feet away, could hear it clearly in the sound of the wind and waves-
"Zhou Xuan, I have no other intentions. Please don't doubt it. I just want to find someone on your boat."
Zhou Xuan bowed and said, "I don't know who the fairy is looking for? Zhou Xuan is willing to serve."
Lu Qiongxian said: "You gather all the marriage envoys and their subordinates on the deck, and I will identify them."
Zhou Xuan followed suit, and soon, from the Han Dynasty to the marriage envoy to the accompanying servants, from the cabin to the deck of the cold rain.
Zhou Xuan secretly asked Li Hu to guard the gangway entrance of the upper deck with the golden retriever Lulu. When an obese servant passed by the gangway entrance, the understanding Lulu rubbed Li Hu's legs with his mouth. Li Hu told Zhou Xuan that the fat servant had a strange fragrance.
Zhou Xuan felt very surprised. The man in black was obviously thin, but why is he so fat now? There is really a magical disguise technique in this world! Lin Ning once said that the disguise technique of the Falcon is a unique in the world. It seems that this person is indeed a member of the Falcon, and this person Lu Qiongxian is looking for.
Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "No matter whether this person is a man or a woman, you must not let him go easily!" He made a gesture to the three cynical and four cynical who were on standby at any time.
Three scammers, four scammers, one left and one right, approached the fat maid, and subdued the maid in one fell swoop with lightning speed, lit her acupoint, and the maid was at the gangway.
Lu Qiong's Perseid ship is shorter, so naturally he can't see what's happening on the deck here.
The four illegitimate smeared the maid's face and peeled off a layer of membrane. When they saw it, they were startled and turned around and shouted, "Master--"
Zhou Xuan took the lantern from a Fenghua soldier and took a photo of the servant lady's face, and said in surprise: "Princess Yuexiu!"
This fat maid was actually Liu Shouzhen, Princess Yuexiu, which was beyond Zhou Xuan's expectations.
Zhou Xuan asked Siqi to take Princess Yuexiu back to the cabin first. He walked to the bow of the boat and said to Lu Qiongxian: "The country's marriage envoys and a group of forty-three people, but now they only see forty-two people. The other person is looking for, please wait for the fairy." Without waiting for Lu Qiongxian to reply, he hurriedly stepped down the deck.
Lu Qiongxian originally wanted to tell Zhou Xuan that she came to look for him on the boat, but Zhou Xuan had already left. He was surrounded by ships from the Tang Kingdom. The navy's long spears and crossbows were very cautious. She did not dare to break in and had to wait.
Zhou Xuan went down to the main cabin, and a soldier bowed and said, "The spy is waiting for trial in the county's room."
Zhou Xuan entered the room accompanied by Yang Zongbao. Three and four chaotic were standing aside, and the Yuexiu Princess Liu Shouzhen sat softly on the floor in front of the couch.
Zhou Xuan dragged his chair and sat in front of her, looked at the Han princess carefully, and said slowly: "Liu Shouzhen, what will happen if you say I throw you into the sea now?"
Princess Yuexiu never expected Zhou Xuan and the others to pull her out so quickly. She was shocked. When she heard Zhou Xuan say she wanted to throw her into the sea, she couldn't help but be afraid and said, "You - you dare!"
Zhou Xuan said: "There is nothing I dared to do. This is my confidant. There will be no trouble if you kill you. But there is no hatred between you and me. I don't need to kill you. Hehe, it's ridiculous that I am still going to welcome you to Jinling as our crown prince's concubine. Isn't that going to lead a wolf into the house? Fortunately, you can't hold your anger. If you wait for you to marry our crown prince, then wouldn't I dig my own grave? It seems that this matchmaker really can't do it."
Princess Yuexiu bit her lower lip and stared at Zhou Xuan hatefully without saying a word.
Zhou Xuan said: "It's now, I don't need to tell lies-" said: "This time I want to tell lies." Then he said: "—Liu Jixing's death has nothing to do with me, he has done so many unjustly and eventually died. Who has no parents? Only you, Liu Shouzhen, are noble and you can't die for a hundred years? Liu Jixing killed many people in the beast garden. Now those unjust souls are coming to take their lives. Think about it, how could such a thick guardrail be broken? Isn't it the power of ghosts and gods?"
Princess Yuexiu bit her lips tightly, and blood was leaching out from her lips.
