Square inch by Kyushu

The blood hole in Gu An's palm was getting bigger and bigger, and the bright red blood couldn't stop gushing out.

Although it dripped on Li Muge's face, it seemed to burn a huge black hole in his heart.It made him feel pain, empty, hot, and cold.

So he decisively slid out the jade fan in his sleeve, disregarding Huangfu Guangbo's restraint, and without hesitation hit the two fingers soaked in Gu'an's flesh and blood.

Huangfu Guangbo smiled contemptuously, and slapped Li Muge's waist with his left hand, easily sending him flying.

It's just that he didn't expect that at the moment the opponent's body flew out, a tapered long sword popped out of the white jade folding fan in his hand, and slashed fiercely and precisely at the two fingers that pierced through Gu'an.

Seeing the silver light chopping down, it was too late for Huangfu Guangbo to withdraw his finger.So he had no choice but to turn his body sideways and use his left arm to block the blow from the severed finger.But he didn't expect that Gu An who was beside him at this time would take the initiative to withdraw his palm, and pushed him away with one palm, and he forcibly took the cut.

Li Muge looked at this scene with a strange expression, and his subordinates retracted their strength in time, so that the sword's force quickly weakened, but it was still inevitable to hurt the opponent's flesh.

All this happened too fast, so fast that Huangfu Guangbo couldn't refuse Gu An, Li Muge couldn't stop Gu An, so fast that even Gu An himself didn't have time to think about the meaning of doing this, it was just his instinct that made the decision for him.

This scene happened so fast that Huangfu Guangbo hadn't thought about the meaning behind this abnormal behavior, so An gave him a barely reasonable reason first, and saw him raise the injured arm and look at Huangfu Guangbo. Silk said: "General Li, you owe me a favor."

When Huangfu Guangbo heard the words, he suddenly laughed.And he said to Li Muge who was lying on the ground: "Brother Li, your friend really knows how to 'make friends in real life', what's his background?"

Li Muge withdrew his eyes from the blood-stained jade fan, stood up and patted the dirt on his body, and said in a nonchalant tone: "My lord general, I really want to know the question you asked. Actually, I don't know him well." Very familiar, he is just a 'helper' I 'hired' to help me investigate the case, purely for profit"

"Did the murderer investigate his own case?" Huangfu Guangbo laughed out loud, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Gu'an stopped Huangfu Guangbo's laughter at this time: "Since I just saved the general's 'two fingers', can the general give us a chance to defend ourselves?"

Huangfu Guangbo laughed even happier when he heard the words, as if he had heard a joke that was even funnier than before.

"He was going to hurt me, and you blocked his sword for me, so you can only make up for it?" Taking the brocade handkerchief from the attendant, he wiped his right hand that was stained with Gu An's blood little by little, There seemed to be no danger floating in the voice.

So An smiled, and quietly locked the opponent's pupils with a pair of black eyes: "But I don't just want to make up for the mistakes, but also want to make great contributions to the general." He paused deliberately at this point, speaking with He said deeply: "I believe that if the general can know the truth of the murder case, he will laugh more happily than he does now."

After Huangfu Guangbo heard this, a hint of interest suddenly appeared in his eyes, which were originally aloof.While sizing up the ordinary young man in front of him, he walked slowly in front of him.In the end, he finally stopped his eyes on his eyes, which were as quiet as a flat lake and as bright as a bright moon.

Gu An was taken aback, but at this moment he couldn't avoid it.In an instant, there were many thoughts in his head, and the blood in his chest was surging.

Did he... see anything?

But if I indulged myself so sharply, did I look forward to him again? Can I see something?

At this moment, Gu An felt that the whole world was quiet and only the noise in his heart could be heard.Then he, did you hear me?

And just when time slowed down and almost stood still, and the waiting gradually turned into torment, Huangfu Guangbo finally spoke—he slowly bent down and whispered in his ear: "In that case, this general will give you a An opportunity to make a 'great contribution'."

Therefore, An Wenyan changed from nervousness to peace of mind, from peace of mind to disappointment, and finally from disappointment to calm again.All kinds of emotions rushed through his heart in an instant, until they disappeared far away.

He wanted to ask: "Huangfu Guangbo, why don't you recognize me?" But he said: "Since the general is willing to condescend to listen to the little people, I will definitely not disappoint the general!" "As far as I know , the case of Dali Temple Minister Luo Qiuli was murdered. Although the means of committing the crime were horrifying, the circumstances of the case were not complicated in the eyes of outsiders. Both the time of the crime and the murderer were quickly identified. Because of this, so The government has been busy apprehending the perpetrators, not caring about the motive of the crime."

"Motive?" Huangfu Guangbo sneered: "The killer Qingyu has always been notorious in the Jianghu, and the murder without reason is not without lessons learned. And the so-called motive may be that he was stealing in the mansion that day and was caught by Master Luo; My lord offended him unintentionally, so he just went to seek revenge; maybe he was just in a bad mood that night..." He deliberately paused, turned his eyes to Li Muge and continued: "Murderers like Qingyu, Why do you need a motive for murder? Brother Li, don’t you think so?”

Li Muge shrugged and said helplessly, "I'm not Qingyu, how do I know?"

At this moment, Gu An continued to continue: "What the general said is very true. Qingyu's murder is indeed willful. But according to my investigation, among his numerous murders, there is only one person in the government——Xiang Yu. Doctor Guanglu of the country. It is precisely because of his only grievance with the court that he has disappeared so far. So how can he repeat the same mistakes again when he reappears this time?"

"Maybe it's because the governments of various countries have suppressed him for many years, which made him feel resentful, so he has decided to kill only court officials since then?" Huangfu Guangbo thinks that this is possible, after all, that Qingyu is a freak .

Gu An smiled, shook his head and said: "Although Qingyu is a murderer, he is not stupid. On the contrary, as a killer, he can live to this day, which can only prove that he is very smart, so he will never do such a thing that does no harm. It is a matter of benefit. Even if it is as the general said, then he should start from Xiangguo, which persecuted him, first seek revenge from the relatives and friends of Dr. Guanglu, why bother to seek Dali Siqing from Shangxi Kingdom for no reason?"

In fact, what Gu An thought of, how could Huangfu Guangbo not think of it?The reason why he was in every possible way just now was that he hoped that what the other party said could make him more convinced.Now it seems that this Gu An has not disappointed him for the time being.

So he nodded and asked instead: "Then why did Qingyu kill Luo Qiuli?"

Gu An didn't answer his question immediately, but asked instead: "Don't you know the reason, General?" Huangfu Guangbo said with a half-smile, "I don't understand, it's not very clear." He neither admitted nor denied, just because There are some words that he must never say out of his own mouth, and now it seems that it is a good choice to use An Zhikou as an excuse.

So An Mingran, I couldn't help but smile wryly in my heart: You used to be full of intrigue and intrigue, which you hated the most, now you can use them freely.Should I be happy for you, or should I be sad for you?

"As we all know, Mr. Luo is young and promising, and he is favored by the king. His limelight is second to none of the two important ministers of the Xi Kingdom, but few people know about Mr. Luo's background. In fact, he was an aide in the general's mansion in his early years. The smooth sailing of the official career also depends on the general's support all the way, so he is also a hidden move arranged by the general in the court." Speaking of this, he glanced at Huangfu Guangbo calmly, seeing that the other party did not stop him Unwilling, he continued: "However, with the intensification of the battles in the court of Xi Kingdom recently, this dark game has gradually surfaced on the table. Therefore, Luo Qiuli was killed at this time, and it is likely to be inextricably linked with you, General." relation."

"Besides, the reason why this murder case was determined to be Qingyu's work was only because the killing method was exactly the same. But in the final analysis, no one actually saw Qingyu committing the murder with their own eyes, and no one had seen Qingyu's face before this! They were just I happened to see Li Muge standing next to the deceased holding the murder weapon. So, the method of killing can be deliberately imitated, and the murderer can also be framed at will."

"You mean, someone planted Qingyu, or did Qingyu plant this wronged brother Li?" Huangfu Guangbo suddenly felt that things seemed to be getting more and more interesting.Or the frail scholar in front of him is even more interesting.

"It's all possible, but now who's 'Qingyu' is no longer important, what matters is who is the person who represents 'Qingyu'?" Gu An looked at Huangfu Guangbo and said with confidence: "If Luo Qiuli is killed for The name of the person who 'cut off the general's arm' in the court hall of Xi State is self-evident, Fuyao Hou Li..."

So An just wanted to say the name, but was suddenly interrupted by Huangfu Guangbo: "In such a sensitive period, some names should not be called indiscriminately, and some words should not be said indiscriminately. I admit that Xiongtai's deduction is very wrong. Wonderful, and indeed reasonable, but you have no evidence to prove the truth I want, so what use is what you just said to me?"

After all, he waved his hand.Dozens of guards in black instantly rushed out from all directions, surrounding Gu An and Li Muge.I saw them all with ghost faces on their faces and holding sharp knives in their hands. In the dark night, they were as fierce as Shura and moved like ghosts, not like ordinary soldiers.

"I don't know if this 'faceless army' of this general can catch the eyes of the two masters?" Although Huangfu Guangbo's words were low-key, his tone was full of provocation.

Seeing this, Li Muge immediately popped out the long sword from the jade fan, stood in front of Gu An and said helplessly, "Although I may not guarantee that you and I will escape completely, at least I will protect you."

Gu An didn't speak, but just raised his hand and patted Li Muge's shoulder, giving him a "reassuring" look.Then he said to Huangfu Guangbo: "I haven't finished my next sentence, why is the general so impatient?"

Huangfu Guangbo looked at the bright moon that was gradually moving westward, and warned: "It's not that I'm impatient, but that the general will go to court soon, and I really don't have time to listen to the nonsense of the two suspects here."

"Then let's talk less and go straight to the point." Gu An took two steps forward, and when he passed by Li Muge, he secretly stuffed a pill into his hand. Li Muge immediately put it away carefully, his expression normal.

"Since the three of us can meet unexpectedly in Langyu Pavilion several times, I believe the general must also know that 'Shui Furong's death' has a lot to do with 'Luo Qiuli's death'."

Huangfu Guangbo didn't deny it, but said: "Shui Furong's mysterious disappearance at this time really arouses suspicion."

So An saw that he raised his hand to stop the "Faceless Army" from making further movements, and knew that he had to say something that would arouse his interest at this moment, in order to continue to ease the situation.

So he quickly told the other party about the encounter between Li Muge and Shui Furong that night, and then said: "So Shui Furong must be related to Qingyu, and it is the key to this case!"

"Blink? Do I think it's just a legend?" Huangfu Guangbo did not continue to care about the relationship between Shui Furong and Qingyu, but expressed a strong interest in the strange poison called "Blink".

"It is said that this 'blink of an eye' is one of the strange poisons of ancient times. It was created by the ancestor of the Tianmo Sect, Du Hongyin, who has been extinct for nearly a hundred years. If it really exists in the world today, I really want to see it."

Although he was talking about his "admiration" for this poison, the implication was that Gu An would use that "blink of an eye" to prove what he said was true.

Therefore, An has always been able to know the elegant meaning by hearing the strings, and immediately took out the tightly wrapped piece of wood from his arms and handed it to the other party: "This is the wooden table fragment stained with 'Blink', from Li Muge. I found it in the inn where I was staying."

Huangfu Guangbo satisfactorily took the wooden block and handed it to the attendant at the side.

At this time, he glanced at Gu An's palm and warned: "If your blood continues to flow like this, I'm afraid this hand will be useless."

Gu An withdrew his hands, and only replied indifferently: "Don't bother the general."

Seeing that he touched a soft nail, Huangfu Guangbo didn't care, he still ordered his attendants to bring some gold sore medicine and clean gauze to bandage him.

Seeing this, Li Muge was worried about being cheated, and immediately stepped forward to block it: "For such trivial matters, I'll do it."

Huangfu Guangbo glanced at him, and said with a sneer: "Brother Li is an imposing man, but his heart is not very broad."

Li Muge inspected the medicine carefully, and said indifferently: "Be careful sailing for ten thousand years, so I always put villains first and then gentlemen, and I hope the general will not be offended."

Huangfu Guangbo laughed and said nothing when he heard the words, instead he ordered the attendants at the side to drink the clear water soaked in the wood.

After receiving the order, the attendant poured it down without any hesitation, without any fear or worry at all.Immediately afterwards, he fell to the ground unconscious.

Seeing this, Gu An secretly thought that something was wrong: It seems that Huangfu Guangbo's subordinates trained all dead soldiers.If they really fight for a while, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the two of them to retreat completely.

After the three of them waited for about half a stick of incense, the attendant who had just drank the "blink of an eye" suddenly opened his eyes and looked sober, showing no signs of being stunned at all.And he also said that he felt that he only blinked his eyes, and he didn't feel faint at all.

Seeing this, Huangfu Guangbo nodded to Gu'an and said, "Although the 'blink of an eye' does exist, it cannot prove that what you just said is all true. Because I really can't figure out what is the relationship between Qingyu and Shui Furong. What grudge does brother have, that he would use this poisonous plan to frame him?"

Although Li Muge and Huangfu Guangbo were "incompatible", they coincided with each other on this point.He looked at Gu An with a wry smile, and asked what was on his mind: "Actually, I really want to know too."

Therefore, An Wenyan's eyes, which were always turbulent, could not help but be stained with a little helplessness.I just heard his slightly hoarse voice say: "In fact, I have thought about this question countless times, but in the end I can only say 'No coincidence is a book'".
