Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 68 Why didn't you say it earlier?
The ancient mountain road, silvery white on both sides.

The water in the valley is half ice and half rapids.

The carriage that Xu Zun was riding in was driving on the muddy and slippery riverside road, and the driver was his new butler Liu Dong.

Shangyuan City is located in the north of Xinye County, the road is not far away, it is just across the mountains, if you drive fast, you can reach it in only one day.

If you take a horse-drawn carriage, a day and a night are not too bad.

Although the temperature is low today, the sun is bright and the sky is high and windless.

"Huo girl, can you...don't be like this?" Behind the carriage, Zhao Yu rode his fast horse, and said to Huo Anu who was riding next to him, "I don't seem to owe you money, do I?"

Huo Anu rode a tall maroon horse with an iron umbrella on his back, looking heroic.

Hearing Zhao Yu's words, she still turned a deaf ear and just walked on.

Zhao Yu was very puzzled. He didn't know why Huo Anu seemed to have a grudge against him, not only ignoring him, but also full of hostility in his eyes?

Could it be... because of the fake Qiu Yongnian?Back then in the court, she thought she acted too late, which led to Shen Gong's accidental death?
It doesn't make sense!

At that time, there were still so many internal guards, all of them were excellent in martial arts, so you can't blame yourself, right?
Could it be... because I became Xu Zun's bodyguard?Steal her thunder?

Not right?

I enjoy the national salary by myself, so there is no conflict of interest with her?

"Cough cough..."

Zhao Yu is very good at resolving embarrassment, seeing that Huo Anu ignored him, he talked endlessly.

He cleared his throat, as if talking to himself, but also as if speaking to Huo Anu:
"I really don't know what Master Xu thinks, he actually let Liu Dong be his housekeeper, that kid is a well-known thief!
"And... let him bring his family with him? Isn't that outrageous? Well, there is also a wife, and children..."

As he said that, Zhao Yu glared towards the car window. Xiwa, who was lying on the car window, was frightened and hurried into the car.

"Master Xu is now a seventh-rank official. I calculated that his salary can hire at least 10 servants?" Zhao Yu said again, "It's so hard to be a criminal officer, shouldn't you hire some strong men? ?
"I can't think of it..." Zhao Yuyue said more and more vigorously, "What's the matter with Liu Dong's wife? Why is she sitting in the same carriage with Master Xu? Isn't she here to be an old lady? She shouldn't be driving in front of Liu Dong. ?

"Oh, I think she looks a bit abnormal, doesn't she?"

Swish!
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu was just muttering to himself, but suddenly saw Huo Anu's iron umbrella falling from the sky and smashing it down on his head!

what! ! ?
Zhao Yu was taken aback, and instinctively raised his saber to block.

when!
The iron umbrella was heavy, but Zhao Yu didn't block it, and immediately fell off his horse.

However, Huo Anu couldn't help but jumped off the horse, and then shot out another iron parachute, attacking Zhao Yu again, and went straight to the gate of life!

"You...what are you doing?" Zhao Yu rolled away, his body was covered with stinky mud, and he shouted in fright, "Huo girl, are you crazy?"

The iron umbrella attacked again, Zhao Yu couldn't dodge it, so he had to draw out his saber with a slap, and fought with Huo Anu.

call...

Hearing something strange behind him, Liu Dong hurriedly stopped the carriage, turned around to look around, was startled, and hurriedly reported to Xu Zun:
"Master Xu, Master Xu...It's not good, the two guards are fighting! Take a look!"

Liu Dong raised the curtain of the car, but saw Xu Zun, Xiwa and Ku Niang lying on the window, watching the fight seriously...

"Stop hitting! Ah..."

Zhao Yu was obviously not Huo Anu's opponent, even though he was carrying the iron umbrella, he was kicked to the ground, extremely embarrassed.

Looking at Huo Anu again, it seems that he has a deep hatred with him, waving the iron umbrella mercilessly, almost killing him!
"I was wrong, can't I be wrong? I apologize to you...I..." Zhao Yu barely blocked a few times, and seeing that begging was useless, he could only shout at the top of his voice, "Master Xu, help me!" Ah! Help..."

The shout resounded through the valley, and there was even an echo.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yu blocked six or seven times, and the door was wide open, showing his defeat.

Huo Anu didn't even open the iron umbrella, he easily picked up Zhao Yu's saber, and then kicked it towards the nearby ditch.

The ditch was as deep as a person, and after Zhao Yu fell, he fell directly into the icy cold water!
"Ah... help, help... Wululu..."

Although the river was not deep, Zhao Yu fell flat and drank several mouthfuls of water on the spot.

Fortunately, the current was not too turbulent. After splashing a few times in the water, he fell to the bank and grabbed the willow branches on the bank...

"Oh! What's going on here?" Finally, Xu Zun's exclamation came from the shore, "How did Catcher Zhao fall into the water? Hurry up! Save people!"

Soon, Liu Dong threw the rope to Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu struggled to climb ashore with the rope.

"Fire...fire boom..."

Just as Zhao Yu wanted to scold Huo Anu, he saw Huo Anu picking up that frightening iron umbrella again, so he shut his mouth in fright, and hid behind Xu Zun tremblingly.

"Huo Anu, it's outrageous!" Xu Zun pointed at Huo Anu and shouted, "Capturer Zhao is a bodyguard appointed by the Holy Majesty, how can you...how can you..."

Who knows, Huo Anu glared at Xu Zun domineeringly, Xu Zun was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.

Therefore, Xu Zun quickly changed his mind and turned to Liu Dong, telling him, "Hurry up! Falling into the water in this cold weather will soon be frozen to death!
"Come on, let's quickly take off Zhao Butou's clothes and change him into dry clothes!"

"Oh yes!"

Therefore, Xu Zun and Liu Dong immediately started to pick Zhao Yu's clothes.

"Don't? This is not good, is it?" Zhao Yu, who was like a drowned rat, was shaking like chaff, but his face was flushed with embarrassment.

"Oh, yes!" Xu Zun said quickly, "Then go change in the carriage! Hurry up, you'll get frostbite if you're late!"

Saying that, Xu Zun and Liu Dong ignored Zhao Yu's objection and forcibly pulled him into the carriage.

At this moment, Xiwa and Kuniang had already arrived outside the carriage.

As the carriage swayed for a while, Xu Zun came out of the carriage holding Zhao Yu's wet clothes.

As soon as he came out, he threw his clothes on the ground and began to search carefully.

As a result, he quickly discovered the abnormality, stretched out his hand, and took out a booklet from an extremely concealed inner pocket!
The booklet was made of brocade silk, which looked relatively high-end.

"what?"

Huo Anu hurried over.

Xu Zun also thought it was some kind of secret letter, and immediately opened it to look through it. As a result, Huo Anu's face turned red.

But seeing that there were some pictures inappropriate for children in the booklet, Xu Zun frowned, and after savoring it carefully, he put it back again.

Other than that, there were no abnormal objects in Zhao Yu's clothes, only some scattered silver and gambling items such as dice Pai Gow.

Gee...

Xu Zun asked Xiwa to put away his clothes, and then he and Huo Anu walked far away.

"How is it?" Xu Zun asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Shouldn't be pretending," Huo Anu recalled, "I attacked so suddenly, several times just now were life-and-death situations. If he is really a master, he will definitely show his flaws."

"Tsk tsk..." Xu Zun smacked his lips again, "So, he was able to cut off the fake Qiu Yongnian's arm just because of luck?"

"It should be," Huo Anu nodded, "At that time, the fake Qiu Yongnian had already entered a state of madness, and was restrained by me and the inner guards, so he had a chance to take advantage of it."

"Oh..." Xu Zun looked at the still trembling carriage, with a trace of deep worry in his eyes.

"Master Xu," Huo Anu asked, "Are you so suspicious of Catcher Zhao? Apart from the fact that he cut off the fake Qiu Yongnian's arm, why?"

"Alas!" Xu Zun said sadly, "On the night of the iron coffin incident, I was followed by someone on my way home from prison.

"At that time, the fake Qiu Yongnian and others were busy with the iron coffin case, so I suspected that the person following me was..."

"Ah?" In the end, before Xu Zun could finish speaking, Huo Anu interrupted him and said, "Why didn't you say it sooner? I was the one who followed you back then!"
