Queen's Detective

"You don't look like a horse thief." Yan Sanbai said, looking at the two mustaches that were about to be pulled off by Wu Tuo.

"Why doesn't it look like it? I think it looks like it!" Wu Tuo was still unconvinced.

Brother Ying chuckled, "The horse thief doesn't talk as much as you do." Then, he looked at Yan Sanbai again, "Is this Xiao Yun?"

Wu Tuo, oh no Xiao Yun rushed to say: "It's me, but your tone doesn't seem to be very pleasant?"

"Then who is that ghost king?" Brother Ying was curious.

Xiao Yun spread his hands, "He looks like me, he is my younger brother, his name is Xiao Zhi."

"The specific reason will be discussed later, I have to go back to find Li Yan, Xiao Yun, you should be prepared outside, right?" Yan Sanbai said.

"Of course, how could I fight an unprepared battle?"

Yan Sanbai nodded, but his face was still a little heavy, obviously he hadn't recovered from the state just now.Brother Ying looked at him worriedly, but Yan Sanbai didn't seem to realize it, and left Brother Ying in Xiao Yun's care, and went to find Li Yan.

Outside, Li Yan and Wen Yang had gathered together, one was a master who learned from Chunting Temple, and the other was a battle-tested general, no matter how powerful the horse thieves were, they couldn't capture them.

But the horse thieves were numerous and fierce, no matter how powerful the two were, their bodies would inevitably suffer from injuries, their physical strength was rapidly drained, sweat ran down their cheeks, and every second, the air in their chests seemed to be squeezed out.

When Yan Sanbai arrived, everyone's pressure suddenly eased.When Li Yan and Wen Yang were there, they were already full of murderous aura, and with the addition of Yan Sanbai, they were even more likely to sweep away thousands of troops.

And at this time, Yan Sanbai's attack was as fast as thunder, and Li Yan keenly felt that his serious face was a little more serious. He seemed...not in a good mood?

Yan Sanbai, who was not in a good mood, looked back and saw Li Yan's blood-stained clothes, his mood became even worse, his eyes darkened, his eyebrows were like knives, "Who hurt you?"

Li Yan pointed pitifully at the horse thief behind him, "Neng, they, all of them."

The horse thieves who had already been severely beaten all thumped and stopped, and Yan Sanbai turned around, his cold gaze swept over him, as if cutting his throat.

Damn, did you kill your own mother or rob your wife?

Wen Yang watched from behind, Yan Sanbai actually attracted everyone's attention when he came, and no one greeted him as a living person standing here.But looking at Yan Sanbai at this time, Wen Yang can finally understand the saying that is circulating in the world, "When the wild goose feathers and swords come out, all evils bow their heads", the usual Yan Sanbai is gentle and elegant, but it doesn't match this sentence in every way .

Working together, the horse thief was quickly beaten and retreated steadily. After a while, Xiao Yun also brought Brother Ying over.

"Follow me!" Xiao Yun yelled, and took the lead to run out with Brother Ying.

Yan Sanbai and the others followed immediately, fighting and retreating. Xiao Yun obviously knew where the exit was, and led them to run wildly all the way. At the end, he jumped onto the roof of a residential house and shouted: "Whoever wants to live, immediately die!" Put down your weapons! Now there is only one road left to go out! There is only one road left! After passing this village, there will be no such shop!"

This sudden voice shocked everyone. For those who didn't know it, they thought it was some peddler on the street shouting.

Xiao Yun was very satisfied with their reaction, and said to Yan Sanbai: "Come and help me uproot this tree."

Yan Sanbai believed him very much, and the two of them worked together to uproot a dead tree nearby.But after pulling it out, Yan Sanbai felt something was wrong.

"What's that sound?" Brother Ying asked.

"The sound of water!" Xiao Yun replied as a matter of course, and then everyone saw the place where the tree was pulled out, and black water suddenly gushed out, like spring water, rushing endlessly.Then the instigator yelled at them from the roof, "Come up quickly! The city is flooded!"

"Day!" Ling Ding yelled angrily, but that was not enough, Xiao Yun ran around a few more places, "Pull up this tree too!"

"And this one!"

"And this one!"

Ling Ding finally couldn't take it anymore, and sprayed his saliva all over his face, "All the trees in your house are used to block the springs!"

Xiao Yun spread his hands, "It's not my family, it's all those bastards from Bulaoshan, you have to ask Yan Sanbai!"

The two were arguing, Li Yan finally couldn't bear to fold the fan to smudge his face, and turned to Xiao Yun, "How are we going now? Can you swim?"

Xiao Yun grew up in the desert, so of course he can't swim, "But I have a boat!"

There is a dock in the city, Xiao Yun led them to pull out several small wooden boats, they took two of them themselves, and left the rest to the horse thieves.

At this time, all the streets and alleys were flooded with water, Brother Ying and the others were still wondering where there was so much water in the desert, Yan Sanbai thought of the underground river when he came in.The dark river is connected to Crescent Moon Lake, and it is estimated to be connected to this place, and the terrain here is low. Once the channel is opened, all the water will eventually gather here.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Xiao Yun looked at the higher and higher water surface, impatiently written on his face.

Yan Sanbai couldn't help asking: "Are you sure you can take us out?"

Xiao Yun was suspiciously silent, and then explained weakly: "You also know that this kind of flood plan is a trick, and you don't usually use it, do you? If it weren't for that little bastard Xiao Zhi The news about the ancient city has spread out, and it is almost turning into a slaughterhouse here, and I will not make such a bad move in order to maintain the love and peace of the desert, will I?"

"I think you are quite happy." Brother Ying teased.

"To be a human being is to be happy." Xiao Yun grinned, "You see, this city is flooded, and the family precepts no longer exist, so I don't have to stay here all the time. The sky is big, the girl and the wine— —”

"Beautiful to your family! Boating!" Ling Ding interrupted him roughly, throwing him an oar.

Xiao Yun took it, and rowed vigorously without being lazy, not forgetting to tell, "This water is poisonous, everyone be careful."

As the water level rose, many roads that could not be connected during the drought became unimpeded.And as more and more water poured in, the black color was continuously diluted, until later, when people looked down from the water, they could even clearly see the bluestone slabs at the bottom.

"Oh my God...we are rowing on top of the entire city now..." Ling Ding looked at the quiet city underwater, watched the upturned eaves pass by the bottom of the boat, and the water lifted them higher and higher , the city below seemed to be asleep, getting farther and farther away from them.

Black petals floated from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and they floated profusely all over the water.Brother Ying stretched out his hand to pick up a fairly complete Years Flower, and the water dripped down from his fingertips. The lines on the black petals were still clear, but the fragrance seemed to be washed away by water, faint and transparent. With a sense of elegance.

Looking back, there were horse thieves who did all kinds of crimes in Yoyo's boat, but in front of such a scene, their expressions could not help but lose their ferocity, revealing surprise and shock.

The stone wall above their heads was getting closer and closer to them, and the power of the water was holding them up, as if they could touch the sky as soon as they stretched out their hands.

The underwater city was about to be buried in time, Xiao Yun looked at it fascinatedly, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but it was only a trace, when he looked up, his eyes were full of relief.

"Everyone, be careful, we are almost at the top, the poison in the water has been almost diluted, but you still have to be careful, this is a detoxification pill, taking one is more reassuring." Saying that, Xiao Yun threw the pill to them However, when he came to Yan Sanbai, he refused.Gein had eaten too much when he came in from Crescent Moon Lake, and if he took it again, it would be harmful to his body.

Xiao Yun heard that he had eaten, but he didn't insist. He rowed the boat to the bottom of a cave with Lone Ding, and went out of the cave when the water surface approached.The rest of the paths have been destroyed by him, and this is the only way.

It's a pity that the cave wall is too slippery. The predecessors who came up with this last escape method must have never tried this method themselves. Xiao Yun picked it up with one hand and drank it. His hands were covered with greasy moss-like things, which made him feel uncomfortable Shen just slid down and sat on Lone Ding.

"Oh, I'm fucking you!" Ling Ding completely ran away.

"Don't, don't, don't! Slippery, eh, it's really slippery." Xiao Yun laughed and tried again, but now the water level was getting higher and higher, and he couldn't climb up, and everyone had to be submerged in the water.

Yan Sanbai shook his head helplessly, grabbed his back collar and led him up directly.

The entrance of the cave extended upwards for a certain distance, and after turning a corner, it became straight again. The group of people were down-to-earth, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.But it was straight, and it was a little inclined. When they reached the final door, Xiao Yun found the mechanism and pressed it, and the stone door turned. In just a moment, they appeared in a certain room above the ground.

Yan Sanbai still looked at his feet worriedly, "Will the water overflow?"

"No, the ancestors have calculated that the water will reach its limit when it reaches the cave. Look at the Crescent Moon Lake outside, and it has only overflowed a little." Xiao Yun replied, and when he opened the door, he saw the huge water. Crescent Moon Lake has gradually faded to black.

At this time, the sky was bright, and the people who had just escaped from the dark underground couldn't adapt to the strong sunlight for a while, so they used their hands to cover it.When the crisis is lifted, everyone will inevitably feel exhausted.

However, the time to settle accounts after autumn has arrived.

Li Yan looked sideways at Xiao Yun, "Is he Xiao Yun?"

Not to be outdone, Xiao Yun asked, "You are Li Yan?"

Her phoenix eyes raised, "She doesn't look very good either."

"That's because I'm easy!"

A narcissistic person like Xiao Yun, how can he accept others saying that he is ugly, even if he is not bad, it is an insult to him and his whole family.

However, Li Yan turned his head lightly and taught Xiao Yun that he was hurt internally.

"Cough, what's going on here? Why do you suddenly have an extra brother?" Yan Sanbai interrupted.

Everyone sat down to heal and rest, Xiao Yun pulled his mustache and confessed leniently, "Actually, I have always had a younger brother, twins, you should have seen the room behind Jingge, that's where Xiao Zhi lived." .”

"Since he is your younger brother, why didn't I see him last time I came here? Are you...locking him?"

"Well... it still has something to do with our family's family motto."

Regarding this family motto, Yan Sanbai also heard Xiao Yun mention it - the masters of every generation of Crescent Lake cannot leave voluntarily, they must stay here from generation to generation until the end of their lives.

"As for me, because I was born a blink of an eye earlier than my younger brother, as the eldest son, I naturally took over the burden of Crescent Moon Lake. But each generation of our Xiao family will send some people to guard that city. Naturally, this wealth cannot be easily discovered by the outside world, so the part of the Xiao family responsible for guarding the underground was naturally deliberately hidden. I was on the ground, and my younger brother was taken underground. The gate of the ancient city can only be in the Open inside, he is the door opener of this generation."

As Xiao Yun said, his tone couldn't help but be a bit sad and heavy, "What about Xiao Zhi, when he was young, he was still a very cute glutinous rice dumpling, throwing his nose everywhere, and he is not so cute when he grows up. When he was young, he was not allowed to come to the ground. After he grew up, he didn't want to come up. I knew he must be upset, but I didn't expect him to want to occupy the entire ancient city by himself. He killed most of the family members. He thought I was dead too. Fortunately, I Resourceful talks out."

People's desire for money is innate. The Xiao family found the treasure, but it was gradually swallowed by the treasure, and finally sat on the ground and couldn't get out.Xiao Zhi is a breaker, but his purpose is obviously the same as the previous ones, to kill those who get in the way, and then gather greedy people to develop the ancient city. He sits behind the scenes and reaps the rewards. I have to say this The plan is really beautiful.

Xiao Yun paused, and then said: "But I think Xiao Zhi became what he is now because of the Mountain of Immortality. He practiced Xidu's kung fu, which is more evil than that of the Mountain of Immortality in the Central Plains. He often Bewitched."

"Didn't Xidu split off later?"

"No, no, Xidu has always existed, but because it is easily possessed by demons, it was hidden in the snow of Bulao Mountain in the Central Plains for a long time. Am I right, Brother Yan?"

Yan Sanbai was in a trance, but when he heard his name being called, he came back to his senses and nodded belatedly, "Xidu has indeed always existed."

Li Yan held Yan Sanbai's hand, bandaged him carefully, raised his eyebrows and asked, "This is your family business, so why did you write to him?"

Xiao Yun stroked his beard, "Isn't there no other way? I want to find Xiao Zhi, but I can't get through the labyrinth of time. Last time I saw Brother Yan seemed to know the sword technique of Immortal Mountain, so I treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Let's talk about me. I really don't have any friends anymore. Brother Yan is so skilled in martial arts and talented, if he can't do it, what's the use of finding someone else?"

Hearing Xiao Yun's praise of Yan Sanbai so much, Li Yan looked at him kindly.It's just that he looked at Yan Sanbai, but couldn't help frowning. After coming out of the ground, Yan Sanbai's complexion was not very good. It didn't seem like he was unwell, but more like something was wrong in his heart.
