Lieutenant Liu quickly concealed his emotions and said faintly, "That's right.
"Your capture has nothing to do with me, and I have no intention of pursuing the matter of any wrongdoings that may have occurred. But according to the confessions and witnesses I have so far, they all said that you guys forced your way out of the Han Mansion. Is this true or false? "
Shan Yang said,
"It's true. We have gone through thick and thin together, and we have a strong sense of brotherhood. Therefore, after they heard that I was imprisoned here, they all came to save me."
Lieutenant Liu smiled and said,
"Fang Yan and Shan Yang, I have heard a little about your fame. You are indeed the best among the rangers with a strong sense of brotherhood! But when you were saving people, did you see a prisoner? "
Hearing the first half of Lieutenant Liu's words, Vulture really looked at Shan Yang and Fang Linyan with envy. This was the powerful charm of the legendary level. The plot characters in any world had to think highly of you!
However, when Lieutenant Liu said the second half of the sentence, he stared at Shan Yang's expression attentively. Obviously, he wanted to distinguish some truth from his next answer.
But who was Shan Yang? For a long time, the salesman, who made a living by observing people's expressions, immediately smiled bitterly,
"En, I have seen him! This person is wearing a tattered gray robe, and he has a strange appearance. It's unforgettable! "
After Lieutenant Liu heard Shan Yang's words, he immediately said seriously,
"You really know the whereabouts of Zhang Xu! Where is this person now! "
Shan Yang said angrily,
"This bastard, he escaped directly, but he tricked us so badly!"
At this time, the group of people had already discussed the words, and they immediately began to reveal some information angrily. Of course, these information were 90% true and 1% false, so it was difficult to see through them,
"Yes, yes, this bastard escaped successfully, but he left us behind!"
"That black leopard is so ferocious! We almost died there. "
"If I didn't react quickly and block the beast at that time, I would have been directly pounced on!"
“.....”
The group of people talked for a while, and Lieutenant Liu didn't stop them. He quickly figured out this matter,
According to Fang Linyan and the others, when they killed the jailer and were about to escape, they heard Zhang Xu's cry for help!
Then, they prepared to go over and take a look. They thought that most of the people locked up in this' Thief Liu's' prison were their own people. If there was a chance to save them, they might as well lend a helping hand.
In the end, after the group of people went over, they saw Zhang Xu rush out from the side and left them behind without saying a word.
Only then did they realize that there was actually an enemy following behind this fellow. It was that incomparably ferocious black panther!
The five of them retreated as they fought, but when they reached the courtyard, they found that it had been set ablaze by the fireballs thrown by Iron Needle. The fire was quite big, so they took advantage of the fact that wild beasts were afraid of fire and successfully got rid of it, then escaped.
After listening to their story, Commandant Liu was silent for a while before saying,
"Are you telling the truth? If you lie about military matters, you'll lose your head! "
The mountain goat immediately said emotionally:
"Of course, every word is true. If you don't believe it, then you can immediately find this bastard Zhang Xu to confront us!"
"The few of us really want to ask him why he threw that leopard to us! We came over to help out of kindness, but he repaid our kindness with ingratitude! "
After Commandant Liu heard this, he was also silent for a while because it seemed that after the topic came to this point, there was no way to continue at all. Could he really find Zhang Xu to confront him?
However, Commandant Liu felt that Fang Linyan and the others were lying or concealing something very important with his intuition. However, he had no evidence! Or unless he could find another witness to support it.
If it were other soldiers, Commandant Liu was likely to directly use the military law. It was not strange to extort a confession by torture.
But among the five people in front of him, Fang Yan and the mountain goat were both famous rangers. They were still quite famous, so he couldn't act rashly.
Because it was Sir Cao Ren's idea to use rangers to form the Zuoqu Second Village scout team, even if the rest of the people had doubts about this, they didn't dare to say it directly. They could only talk about it in private, expressing that they were not optimistic about it.
However, when this person complained, it was heard by the Xiahou Family, and it directly went to Cao Ren's ears.
Cao Ren immediately flew into a rage. At that time, a group of people were covered in dirt. Those who complained were directly caught and beaten 30 times. Their buttocks were beaten until they became soft eggs. It was estimated that it would be difficult for them to stand up for the rest of their lives.
This incident happened 10 days ago. Commandant Liu was a bystander. The guy who was beaten still owed Commandant Liu 30 taels of gambling debt, so this incident was still fresh in his memory.
Not only that, Commandant Liu had already gotten the exact news. Just a few hours ago, in this team that was not optimistic about, someone actually made a miraculous contribution. He directly said that he defeated Zhang Zhao, an important minister of Dong Yue Wu!
When Cao Cao heard about this, he was so excited that he was so happy that he could not stop himself from drinking!
Commandant Liu asked himself if he didn't have conclusive evidence at this time. If he attacked the people of Zuoqu Second Village, Cao Ren might directly think that he was targeting him. That would be very troublesome!
In this case, Commandant Liu frowned and said,
"Are you sure you have nothing else to say?"
Fang Linyan smiled at this time and said,
"We did encounter some things next, but it has little to do with Zhang Xu."
Commandant Liu said seriously,
"If you don't say it, how do you know it has nothing to do with Zhang Xu?"
Fang Linyan said,
"After we escaped from the village, we saw a large group of Liu Bei's Army cavalry passing by. They seemed to be searching for something. Originally, this had nothing to do with us, but the problem was that these cavalry actually found our whereabouts and began to chase us, so we were forced to enter the mountain."
"But even if we continued to escape into the mountain, they still refused to give up. They directly dismounted and chased after us aggressively. Later, we learned that the one who chased us turned out to be the general of Liu Bei's Army …"
When Fang Linyan said this, he suddenly heard a loud roar next to him. The voice that sounded like a broken gong was really familiar,
"Wayaya! You bastards, you are finally caught. Since you are in my hands, I will whip you 30 times today! Come on, come on, tie them up for me! "
Fang Linyan turned his head and found that this guy was actually Suo Gu who he met not long ago. The 2 sides fought, and Suo Gu left in disgrace. Fang Linyan didn't expect that he was actually with Commandant Liu.
However, facing Suo Gu's provocation, Fang Linyan smiled calmly and looked at Commandant Liu,
"Your subordinate invited us in in front of hundreds of people just now."
Commandant Liu's face was very ugly at this time. After taking a deep look at Suo Gu, he directly shouted at the soldiers who rushed in next to him,
"Why are you running around! Retreat! "
These soldiers seemed to be more obedient to the orders of Commandant Liu. After glancing at Suo Gu who was full of anger, they could only retreat silently.
Then Commandant Liu pulled Suo Gu aside. Although he was talking in a low voice, it could be guessed that he was just asking Suo Gu what was going on. As a result, Suo Gu's loud voice must have shouted directly,
"What's going on? You ask me what's going on? These bastards will … "
Speaking of this, Suo Gu's voice suddenly lowered. He was probably scolded by Commandant Liu. After a while, Commandant Liu walked out again and said faintly,
"Don't you have anything to tell me?"
Fang Linyan looked at Commandant Liu and said meaningfully,
"Commandant, you are a smart person. You should know the truth of asking for help."
After speaking, he turned around and left with his men. The people at the door wanted to stop them, but they found that Commandant Liu didn't say anything, so they could only let them leave.
Seeing Fang Linyan and others leaving, Suo Gu came out from the side and frowned,
"What does this kid mean?"
Commandant Liu shook his head and said,
"Go and ask Secretary Xu to come."
After a while, a scribe walked over. Commandant Liu said, "This is the first time I've heard of you.
"May I ask Mr. Xu, what is the meaning of asking for help?"
Mr. Xu said in amazement,
"This is a sentence in Confucius's language. I have to check it."
About half an hour later, Mr. Xu brought a reply to Commandant Liu,
"Asking for help means that he has something to ask of you."
"And this is connected with the next sentence. The whole sentence is: Asking for help, so you can get it without any effort. It means that he has something to ask of you, so you can get it without any effort."
After hearing such an answer, Commandant Liu slammed the table heavily, gritted his teeth, and said,
"I knew it, they must know something!"
Suo Gu looked at Commandant Liu and made a cutting gesture,
"Let's find an opportunity to deal with them! You don't know that these guys are very ruthless. Ji Meiling, the pet of the immortal, was tortured very badly. Several of her fingers were broken, and even her toes were not spared! They are furious at the side! "
Commandant Liu turned to look at him with gloomy eyes. After a while, he shook his head and said,
"Forget it, you don't know the huge secret hidden in Zhang Xu! So it's not surprising that he said such words! "
"Don't touch them, unless you can be sure that Zhang Xu has nothing to do with them …"
***
At this time, Fang Linyan left with a group of people and left the Han Family's mansion again. It was worth mentioning that they left from the back door, then they walked directly out of the village. They didn't stop until they left the area of the patrol team.
Then he motioned Vulture to keep watch around, while Fang Linyan took out Ao's Ember and started to repair it.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Mountain Goat was a little puzzled. Because time was of the essence, everyone was racing against time to accept and complete the quest. What was the matter with his group of people wasting time here?
So he couldn't help but say,
"Boss, should I go and inquire about the news? Collect some information? "
Fang Linyan shook his head and said,
"Don't worry, wait a little longer."
The group of people still believed in Fang Linyan at this time, so they could only continue to wait honestly. They waited for almost an hour. At this juncture, this hour was really precious, but it seemed to be wasted for no reason.
During this time, Crespo anxiously glanced at Vulture a few times, hinting with his eyes. However, Vulture silently waved his finger, hinting for him to calm down.
Obviously, in the interstellar world, Vulture suffered a big loss because he didn't trust Fang Linyan. Now he was short of an SSS evaluation to get the legendary level. As the saying goes, fall into the pit, learn from your mistakes. He, who had suffered a painful experience, of course would not repeat the same mistake.
After an hour, Fang Linyan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. Then, he took everyone back to the village and came to the back door of the Han Family's mansion.
At this time, Fang Linyan whispered a few words to Goat. Goat was stunned and walked toward the gate guard on duty. Because they had just walked out from inside not long ago, the gate guard did not drive them away as soon as they came, but directly gave them a chance to speak.
After Goat approached, he said a few good words. Most importantly, he gave some money. The gate guard on duty nodded and agreed to help them pass the message.
Not long after, the He Chuanling soldier who spoke neither servile nor overbearing walked out. He was slightly surprised to see Fang Linyan and the other 4 people, but he quickly walked over and greeted them, "Brother Chuanling.
Fang Linyan smiled and said,
"Just now, I'm grateful that Lieutenant Liu didn't kill me and let me leave directly. I don't know how to express gratitude. I just have something in my hand that I don't know how to deal with, so I'll use it to present it to you."
After speaking, under everyone's surprised gaze, Fang Linyan actually took out the "Jiangxia Topographic Map" and handed it to the messenger. This guy was also knowledgeable. When he took a look at it, his face suddenly showed surprise.
However, at the end of the day, he was only a messenger, so he didn't have the right to say anything. Thus, he gave a cursory bow and turned to leave.
When Messenger He walked halfway, Fang Linyan suddenly said, "Brother He,
"By the way, I have learned the art of face reading. Looking at Lieutenant Liu's face, the sky is round, the earth is round, and the mountain is tall and straight. Although he doesn't have polycoria, he is destined to be in Donghai. As long as he is magnanimous and treats people sincerely, then he will definitely get what he wants."
After listening to Fang Linyan's words, He Chuanling also felt a little confused for a while. But he also knew what was more important. He knew that Fang Linyan would not say these words for no reason, so he could only remember it firmly, then he went to find Lieutenant Liu.
Looking at the back of the messenger leaving, Goat suddenly slapped his thigh and said,
"Boss, you really handled this matter flawlessly. Now I understand your intention."
Fang Linyan smiled and said,
"What's my intention?"
Goat said,
"We waited outside the village for so long just now. In fact, we should be waiting to see the reaction of Lieutenant Liu and the others."
Vulture heard Goat's words, and he suddenly said,
"Yes, Lieutenant Liu is obviously in cahoots with Su Gu and Meiling!"
"Lieutenant Liu asked us to come here because he wanted to know the whereabouts of Zhang Xu, but we offended Su Gu, Meiling, and the powerhouse behind Meiling. Not only did we hurt them, but we also robbed Meiling's precious talisman and book!"
"In this case, boss deliberately took us to a place outside the village where there are no patrols. In fact, he is testing their importance to Zhang Xu's whereabouts!"
"According to common sense, after suffering such a big loss, Su Gu and the others will definitely come to get revenge, but this also means that their relationship with us is completely broken. The hope of finding Zhang Xu's whereabouts will be even slimmer."
"But, in fact, the place where we hide is neither hidden nor easy to find. Su Gu and the others can come, but they didn't. That can only mean one thing: Zhang Xu's status in their minds is much higher! "
Goat nodded approvingly and said,
"So after the boss confirmed this point, he simply gave the topographic map of Jiangxia to Lieutenant Liu. At this time, they still have a request for us! So the probability of tricking us in this regard is very small! "
"In other words, Lieutenant Liu wants to know the whereabouts of Zhang Xu. The topographic map of Jiangxia allows us to get enough benefits, which is their proof of allegiance! Otherwise, if this matter is messed up, even an idiot can imagine that there won't be a next time! "
