Good luck with koi carp

Chapter 199 Looking for clues

Later in the evening, Zhongli's servants brought new food, but no one wanted to touch it this time. Who knew if it might be poisoned.



Until this happened, everyone had almost realized where the poison was. After all, there are only a few poisoning channels. For such a large-scale poisoning, it is necessary to ensure that everyone is poisoned, either by burning incense or by eating food. Hands on and off.



Burning incense can cause widespread poisoning, and people can inhale it unconsciously. However, because there are too many guests at the scene, some of whom are sitting outdoors, the incense poison can only be effective indoors, and it will be greatly reduced outdoors. If some people fail to be poisoned, then Zhong Lizhe's house arrest plan will not proceed.



Therefore, he would definitely choose the latter, which is why he didn't suddenly attack until the middle of the birthday banquet.



Everyone is here to attend the banquet of the martial arts leader, my wife. No matter who Zhong Liyu is in private, at least on the surface, he is still the leader of the righteous path. There is no way he would so blatantly murder many martial arts people, even if these people intend to Next spring, he will seize his position as the leader of the martial arts alliance.



Therefore, everyone was not prepared for the food at the birthday banquet. They all ate and drank as they should. As a result, they all ended up in prison.



However, he had never expected that someone would be so vigilant at such a birthday banquet that he would not eat the banquet prepared by the host, and would not even touch a sip of water, so that he was not poisoned at all, and he is still able to do so to this day. Running out alive and kicking, he secretly investigated his true intention of imprisoning so many martial arts people.



Chili ran away in front of Gongsun Wen and another girl in the same room, and she ran away openly and openly from the window using Qinggong.



It wasn't that she trusted them much, but it was mainly because she had Gongsun Wen sitting on her left and this girl sitting directly opposite her at the birthday banquet. They were all at the same table. Otherwise, how could the three of them be assigned to the same room?



One of them was sitting close, and the other was right in front of her. It was difficult for the other person not to look at her. Therefore, the two of them knew whether she had eaten during the birthday banquet. Chi Li wanted to hide it. He definitely couldn't hide it, so he just ran to do things openly.



If they still wanted to be rescued, they would naturally help Chi Li cover up.



Just as Chi Li expected, after seeing her climb out of the window without hesitation, Gongsun Wen didn't even have time to react. Another girl in the room immediately took a few steps forward, closed the open window, and then came to Next to the window, roll up the quilt into a shape the size of one person, pretending that the missing person in the room is lying on the bed and sleeping.



She reacted so quickly that Gongsun Wen was a little stunned. After everything was done, the girl turned to Gongsun Wen and asked: "Awen, do you know that person just now? Can she be trusted?"



"You don't even know if she can be trusted, so you cover for her?" Gongsun Wen didn't know how to evaluate her friend's behavior.



"I'm used to it." The other person waved his hand modestly, indicating that it was all trivial.



Chili's keen five senses allowed Chili to vaguely understand what was happening in the room behind her, but she had no time to pay attention to it. After leaving the room, she relied on Xiaoli's guidance to hide her figure, and relied on her strong martial arts to lurk quietly. Go to Zhongliyu’s calligraphy.



If you want to find useful clues, this is undoubtedly the fastest place.



"Just turn left and you'll be there. Be careful. There must be a lot of guards outside Zhong Liyu's study. Don't get discovered." Xiao Li reminded while pointing to the roadside.



"I know." Chi Li replied in her heart, then hid in the corner in front and quietly looked towards Zhong Liyu's study.



As Xiaoli said, there are too many guards here, not only those who are guarding on the surface, but also many secret guards secretly. It is not easy to sneak into Zhong Liyu's study without alerting them. .



At the same time, this also happened to prove that Xiaoli's ability to break in by mistake and accidentally hear the truth about the Chi family's destruction was a complete coincidence of luck.



If Zhong Liyu hadn't been suspicious at that time and was afraid of being discovered secretly colluding with people from the Demon Cult, so he ordered no one to approach when the other party came, Xiaoli would not have been allowed to barge in by mistake without any hindrance, and it would not have caused the following consequences. So many things.



But even without asking, Chili knew that if Xiaoli was asked to make a new choice, she would rather learn the truth, recover her memory, and then embark on the road of revenge, even if the enemy is as high as a mountain to her. She can look up to the unreachable existence, but she doesn't want to be a vain doll wrapped in glory and wealth all her life.



Before finding a loophole to sneak into the study, suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance where the guests were imprisoned. It seemed that someone ran out, or someone discovered Chili's disappearance.



Being too far away, Chili couldn't really hear what was going on there, and she wasn't sure if it was really the commotion caused by someone discovering her escape.



But regardless of whether it was true or not, she ran away, so naturally it was impossible to go back now, so she could only squat where she was and look for opportunities.



In fact, the opportunity has already come.



Perhaps he also heard the noise in the distance. The study window that he had been pressing against suddenly opened a gap, and then the two secret guards who had received the order ducked away and went to investigate the situation in the chaos.



Although they only left two people, the departure of these two people just gave Chi Li an opportunity to take advantage of.



Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was attracted by the commotion in the distance, and when everyone was distracted when the two people left, Chi Li almost exploded with his potential, using the best level of Qinggong in his life, like a Like a misty shadow, it quickly slipped through the crack of the open window and wandered into the study.



The guard on duty felt that the scenery beside him seemed to shake for a moment. When he looked at it carefully, he saw that the scene was still the same, nothing unusual, so he continued on duty.



As soon as Chi Li entered the study, she didn't even see what was inside. She immediately struck like lightning and injected acupoints on everyone in the room to prevent them from making any noise and attracting guards outside the door.



Even though all the people outside together couldn't defeat her, it was not appropriate for her to stand up and cause trouble openly in Zhongli's house.



There were only two people in the study at this time.



It was a coincidence that Zhong Lizhe was still wearing Zhong Lizhe's clothes. Zhong Lizhe was a middle-aged man, and his daily clothing style was solemn and mature, suitable for his age. Zhong Lizhe was just a teenager, wearing this outfit. The clothes looked extremely inappropriate, and he looked like a child wearing adult clothes.



At this time, he was immobilized by Chi Li's move and could not move. He could only look at the person next to her with frightened and pleading eyes... who was also immobilized by acupuncture points.



Following the other person's line of sight, Chili just focused on this person. The moment she saw his appearance clearly, she couldn't help but smile.



"Look who this is. Isn't this Bai Changyin, the famous deputy leader of our Shaluo Demon Sect? How come you, the second-in-command of the Demon Sect, appear in the study of the leader Zhongli's house? Could it be that..."



Meaningful eyes swept back and forth between Bai Changyin and Zhong Lizhe.



Hearing that the intruder revealed Bai Changyin's identity, Zhong Lizhe turned pale and looked even more panicked. He couldn't help but cast his eyes on Bai Changyin, hoping that he would come up with a way to deal with the situation at hand.



His behavior was unlike that of the fake "Martial Arts Leader" who poisoned Mrs. Zhongli and a group of martial arts knights at a birthday banquet, and also imprisoned so many people in Zhongli's mansion.



Chi Li originally speculated whether he had done something to Zhongliyu, but now this guess was overturned by her and turned into what Zhongliyu had done to him.



"Where is Zhong Liyu?"



Chi Li asked expressionlessly.



In order to make it easier for the other party to answer, she unlocked Zhong Lizhe's mute point, but in the next second, she quickly grabbed his neck, threatening the other party not to speak out and could only answer her questions.



"I...I...I don't...don't know..."



Zhong Lizhe changed his sinister and courageous appearance at the birthday banquet. Instead, he trembled under Chi Li's hands and couldn't even speak clearly. Even in the face of such a threat to his life, he still He cast his gaze on Bai Changyin.



Chi Li could tell that Bai Changyin was the backbone who dominated everything present.



Knowing that nothing could be asked from Zhong Lizhe, this guy now looked like a puppet driven by others. For a puppet, the real mastermind would never reveal any key information to him, so it was useless to continue to press him.



After releasing his hand and tapping the opponent's mute point again, Chi Lique did not turn around to interrogate Bai Changyin, who obviously knew more information, as the opponent expected, but instead rummaged around in the study.



Thanks to her sudden attack, some of the other party's things had not yet been collected, so she actually found some useful items for Chi Li.



The poison poisoned by the martial arts knights, the corresponding antidote, and two letters.



When he saw Chi Li's hands on the two opened letters on the table, Bai Changyin's eyes changed, as if he wanted to rush over to stop her from reading the contents. However, he could not move now because of the strange woman's martial arts skills in front of him. He was too powerful and his acupuncture techniques were quite exquisite. He was unable to free himself for a while and was unable to stop him.



Both letters were unsigned, and one was addressed to Bai Changyin, with only two words written in it: smooth.



It is a letter, but it is better to say that it is describing the progress of a certain plan.



The other letter was to Zhongli Zhe, but this time it filled a full page. The content was probably to comfort Zhonglizhe, asking him to find a way to stabilize the guests who were imprisoned in Zhongli Mansion first, and never allow them to They left Zhongli's home for half a step, and finally wrote a word of encouragement at the end of the letter, asking Zhonglizhe to take this opportunity to practice hard, and Zhongli's family would rely on him from now on.



Driven by some intuition, Chi Li stared at the sentence at the end of the letter and read it several times, always feeling that the most problematic part was here.



Practicing?



What kind of exercises is Zhong Lizhe practicing?



Why do you want to take this opportunity to practice?



Also, Zhongli's family will depend on him from now on. If Chili remembers correctly and Xiaoli says correctly, Zhonglizhe seems to be just a bastard. There is another one in front of him who has grown up and is very good in all aspects. The outstanding eldest son Zhongli Fu, why would the Zhongli family have to rely on him in the future? It seems as if Zhongli Yu wanted Zhongli Zhe to inherit the Zhongli family over Zhongli Fu.



"Impossible." Xiaoli said firmly: "I'm not sure about anything else, but I'm sure that Zhonglifu has always been the only heir identified by Zhongliyu. There is no way he would have the intention to hand over the Zhongli family to Zhonglizhe halfway."



So, there must be something wrong with this.



In the flash of lightning, Chi Li suddenly thought of something. She hurriedly asked Xiao Li: "Do you know Zhong Liyu's handwriting, right? Were these two letters written by him?"    

At that time, Chi Li was still lowering her eyes, as if reading, so no one noticed that her pupils were moving out of her control for a few seconds, as if she was carefully identifying something.



"Yes." After confirmation, Xiaoli gave a definite answer.



The guess was confirmed, and Chi Li's eyes suddenly filled with sympathy when she looked at Zhong Lizhe.



This stupid kid is completely a brainwashed and stupid tool.



"It's a pity that Mrs. Zhongli, it was obviously a happy day, but she ended up falling victim to her children's struggle for power." Deliberately, Chi Li said this in front of Zhongli Zhe.



This was a clear test. Even though Bai Changyin kept telling Zhong Lizhe to calm down with his eyes, he was still young and inexperienced. Facing the sudden death of his dearest person in front of his eyes, he still couldn't help showing sadness.



"I read it right. At the birthday banquet, the death of Mrs. Zhongli was not expected by Zhonglizhe, so all the grief he expressed at that time was real, but it was Bai Chang who should have been hidden in the dark later. Yin didn't know how to stabilize himself, and then continued to perform the play they planned from the beginning."



"Acting?" Xiaoli asked puzzledly: "Why?"



Her brain is not as bright as Chili's, and she has not been able to find the truth among the many doubts.



"In order to provide cover for Zhongliyu, and to prepare for Zhongliyu to pull him out and take the blame, at the same time to help his allies eliminate dissidents, and at the same time to help him eliminate some potential opponents competing for the leadership of the martial arts alliance." Chili replied in a deep voice. road.

The conversation between her and Xiaoli only happened in each other's minds and could not be heard by others. Therefore, Bai Changyin could never have imagined that with just such a few clues and his own speculation, Chili basically figured out their entire plan. The guess is pretty close.



What is lacking now is just some details to add.



For example, what kind of exercises did Zhongliyu ask Zhonglizhe to practice?



"You have accepted Bai Changyin as your master." This was not a question.



As soon as these words came out, Zhong Lizhe, who was still immersed in the death of his beloved grandmother, stiffened. Since he could not move, he could not hide the change in his demeanor at that moment.



Seeing this, Chili knew what was going on.



She continued to press: "What evil skills did Bai Changyin teach you? Zhong Liyu asked you to take advantage of this opportunity to practice your skills. What kind of opportunity did you take? Could it be... taking advantage of the opportunity to catch so many practice targets?"



Under Chi Li's pressing step by step, Zhong Lizhe's face became paler and paler. Seeing that his spirit was about to reach the edge of collapse, Chi Li was also ready to open his mute point and listen to him tell the truth. Who knows what happened after his death? Suddenly there was a strong force, forcing her hand that had just been raised to explore Zhong Lizhe's acupuncture point away, and turned back to defend herself. Then she received a palm from a mysterious man who suddenly appeared behind her.



The two sides faced each other palm to palm, using their strong inner strength to engage in a brief contest. In the end, the mysterious man in black was slightly inferior and was avoided by half a step.



As if he couldn't believe that he couldn't compare to the young woman in front of him, the mysterious man's eyes widened, and then a trace of jealousy and murderous intent flashed through him.



The next time he took action, his killing move was fully demonstrated.



Joining him in besieging Chi Li was Bai Changyin, who had his acupoints unblocked at some point. Both of them were masters of the world. Even though their internal strength was not as strong as Chi Li's, they cooperated with each other and had many years of experience. Li fought evenly.



Chi Li has only been practicing martial arts for one year in this world. She doesn’t have much experience in fighting enemies. Even in other worlds, she doesn’t actually fight with people very much. She actually knows all the moves, but she is still a little unfamiliar with the actual use. This gave the enemy an opportunity to deal with her.



But that's it.



As the fierce battle between the three of them continued, Chi Li quickly became familiar with various moves with the help of her super understanding. Without worrying about her internal strength, she could be said to be fighting more and more fiercely and fiercely. At this time, the mysterious man It is already impossible for Bai Changyin to rely on the advantages of numbers and experience to fight against her.



If the fight continues, the defeat of the side with more people is completely inevitable.



Chili knew this, and the enemy obviously knew this too, so they made a prompt decision and made a lot of noise, intending to attract the guards outside the door.



Two people can't deal with her, but what about ten people, hundreds, or thousands of people?



People's energy is always limited. No matter how strong Chili is, she can't persevere when faced with the siege of so many people. However, due to the limitations of her own cultivation of merit, she dare not kill people casually for fear of committing unintended crimes. , affects Taoism, and will be timid in a fight, which is why she has been reluctant to make too much noise.



The two cunning guys opposite had obviously seen through Chi Li's hidden concerns. Although they didn't know the specific reasons, this did not prevent them from using this to deal with Chi Li.



It worked.



When she heard the noise coming from outside the door, Chi Li knew she couldn't stay here any longer, so she simply gave up fighting with Bai Changyin and the others and planned to catch Zhong Lizhe and run away.



As a result, before she could take action, the door to the closed study room was knocked open from the outside, and the person who ran in was not the guard of Zhongli Mansion, but someone familiar to Chi Li.



Facing Chi Li's surprised look, the man said nothing, rushed in, grabbed her wrist and took her away. At the same time, he waved his sword with the other hand. The strong internal force stimulated the sword energy and forced Bai Changyin and others who were trying to catch up back. .



Chi Li reacted very quickly. Even if someone suddenly broke in and took her away, she did not forget to pick up Zhong Lizhe and take him away with her. There were still many clues that were not clear up. Now was not a good time to let Zhong Lizhe go.



In this way, three people, no, two people plus a burden, worked together to sweep away the guards of Zhongli Mansion, used Qinggong to jump onto the roof, and with a few leaps, they disappeared into Zhongli Mansion.



There is no point in chasing anymore at this point.



At some point, Zhong Lizhe, wearing Zhong Lizhe's clothes, strode out of the study, frowned and ordered in a cold voice: "Search all guest rooms one by one, confirm the number of guests, and check if there are any missing persons. If the missing persons are found, , find out your identity and report it to me as soon as possible."



"Yes, Second Young Master."



The guards were ordered to do the work, and no one doubted the identity of the person in front of them.



The main reason is that Chili and the others retreated too quickly. Even if they saw someone holding someone in their hands, everyone could not see the person's face clearly. At most, they thought the other person's clothes were familiar, but now they saw Zhongli who had replaced the head of the family. Zhe' stood in front of him calmly, and everyone dispelled the little doubts that had just arisen in their hearts.



Nowadays, the situation in the government is changing rapidly, and they, the subordinates, have to act with caution, not daring to make the slightest mistake, and have no energy or desire to care about anything else.



"I'll leave him to you. Find a place to hide him first. I want to go back to Zhongli Mansion."



After leaving Zhongli Mansion and running for some distance, after confirming that there were no pursuers behind him, Chi Li immediately handed Zhongli Zhe over to Jian Yuan who suddenly broke into the study and took her away.



Even though Jian Yuan's face was accidentally covered with a piece of cloth, Chi Li still recognized her at a glance. Even though they had just met for the first time today, she had a deep memory of him.



Seeing Jian Yuan appear, Chi Li could already tell that he was the one who made the noise in the guest room just now. In other words, Chi Li's identity was most likely not revealed yet.



Fortunately, as soon as she ran out to search for clues, she immediately changed her appearance. She looked different from the Gong Yangli who entered Zhongli Mansion for the birthday banquet. Now, as long as the guards of Zhongli Mansion haven't searched her yet, In their room, it was completely possible to pretend that she had never been out at all.



There are still many clues hidden in Zhongli Mansion. Chi Li can't just run out, so she has to go back.



And since Jian Yuan's identity has been exposed, he must not be able to go back, so he just leaves Zhong Lizhe under his care until she finds a chance to sneak out later and interrogate him again.



Chi Li acted faster than she spoke. As soon as she finished speaking, her figure had disappeared far away, leaving only Jian Yuan and Zhong Lizhe staring at each other.



Jian Yuan glanced at Zhong Lizhe indifferently, not wanting to carry him, so he simply untied his acupuncture points, and then motioned with his eyes for him to follow her.



Zhongli Zhe wanted to try to escape, but suddenly he heard a cold voice in his ear: "If you still want to be the scapegoat, just go back."



The hind legs paused for a moment, then slowly retracted and put away as if they had experienced a fierce struggle.



Zhong Lizhe lowered his head, Jian Yuan couldn't see it, and didn't bother to look at his expression. He just turned around and walked towards a remote place, not wanting to attract other people's attention.



He walked a certain distance, and a figure followed silently behind him. It was someone else if it wasn't Zhong Lizhe.



Jian Yuan sneered: "It seems you don't want to die either."



"If you can live, who doesn't want to live?" A low, whispering voice sounded.



Then silence fell again.



Chi Li hurriedly hurried along and finally managed to sneak back before the Zhongli Mansion guards found their room.



In addition to having her own purpose in running back so nervously, she also wanted to not harm Gongsun Wen and the other girl.



There was one person missing in the room of three people, and they couldn't hide it no matter what. Gongsun Wen didn't know martial arts, and another girl who knew martial arts was poisoned. They couldn't resist the guards of Zhongli's family, so Chi Li couldn't. Let them face danger alone.
