After passing through the cannon fodder villain in the book, the heroine confessed to me

Chapter 227 The Strangeness of Sea Knife Gate
In fact, it's not surprising when you think about it. With the configuration of their group, how could they not run into any incidents when they go out for a walk?But this trouble really came too quickly, which made Qin Yunshuo feel slightly worried about the next trip.

"Stop! Linhai City has been sealed off. No one is allowed to enter or exit. Please take a detour."

At the city gate, a group of uniformly dressed monks blocked the way of Qin Yunshuo and four others into the city.Judging from the blue knife logo embroidered on their clothes, they must be from the same sect.

"I dare to ask four fellow Taoists, why Linhai City was suddenly blocked, but what happened?"

Lexu frowned and took the initiative to take over the communication task.As a city that relies on shipping, if something big hadn't happened, the city would never have been closed - that would be equivalent to cutting off the jobs of the entire city.

The leader seems to have explained it too many times, with a very obvious impatience on his face, but his tone is very mechanical.

"The Kraken is attacking the city. To ensure everyone's safety, please change the route. Thank you for your cooperation."

"Since there is a sea monster causing trouble, we should quickly arrange for ordinary people to evacuate, and then ask for help from nearby sects. Why should the city gate be closed and no entry or exit allowed?"

Jiang Miao's tone was flat, as if she was just asking casually out of curiosity.But Qin Yunshuo understood that she was already suspicious.

The leader opposite didn't seem to expect that his words would be questioned. He was stunned for a few seconds and then answered in a stiff tone.

"This matter has nothing to do with your Excellency. I, Haidaomen, will solve it myself. You guys, leave quickly."

When he mentioned "Haidaomen", the man held out the sign on his chest without leaving any trace, and his tone of voice was deliberately aggravated.

Lexu blinked thoughtfully, suddenly took two steps forward, and took out a small bag from his arms in a vague movement.From the way it shakes and makes a "clatter" sound, it's not difficult to tell what's inside.

"We are really in a hurry and need to go to the city to rent a boat. We can't delay it. How about you being accommodating, fellow Taoist?"

When the leader heard this, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, but he quickly shook his head with regret.

"If you say no, you can't. Leave now."

The smile on Lexu's face did not diminish, and he did not take back the bag he handed out, but lightly stuffed it into the man's arms.

"Even if we can't let them go, I would like to ask fellow Taoist to tell you how long the city will be closed. If it's only a day or two, we can just wait."

The disciple was finally moved by Lexu's "sincerity", coughed twice, and said with a pleasant look.

"As fate would have it, I don't know how long it will be closed, but it will not be less than five days. Brother, if you are really anxious to rent a boat, you can go to the nearby village and ask. There will definitely not be a big boat, but if there are only four of you If so, ordinary fishing boats are not difficult to find."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist. I won't bother you later, and I'll take my leave."

Seeing this, Bai Yuanqing was about to say something, but saw that Qin Yunshuo and Jiang Miao had no objection, so she had to shut up and follow them to leave.

Bai Yuanqing couldn't wait to ask until she was completely out of the sight of the group of people.

"Why do you want to bribe them? We're not really in a hurry. At worst, we can just find another way. Besides, those people don't look like good people at first glance, so why should they be so cowardly."

Bai Yuanqing muttered a few words slightly dissatisfied, but it made Le Shu chuckle.

Jiang Miao pulled her sleeves helplessly and explained to her: "There is something strange here. Mr. Le's actions just now were for testing, not for bribery."

"I know, no matter how stupid I am, I can at least look at your faces, right? It's just that all three of you saw it, but I didn't. I feel so shameless."

Bai Yuanqing was not surprised by Jiang Miao's explanation.Her emotions went away quickly. After saying this, she looked at Lexu expectantly.

"What's the problem with those people? Tell me quickly?" Jiang Miao glanced at Bai Yuanqing, who was very close to her, then looked at her actions of deliberately sparing him from talking to Lexu, and silently took a step back.

Sorry for interrupting.

Lexu didn't think much about it. Seeing Bai Yuanqing asking questions, he nodded and began to review the suspicious points just now.

"First of all, Miss Jiang has already said that if the sea monster really attacks the city, there is obviously something wrong with the other party's response.

Secondly, when I took out the spiritual crystal, the man opposite me had obviously greedy eyes, but in the end he flatly refused to let me wait to enter the city.This shows that he was given a death order from above and no one was allowed to enter the city.

Third, the man said that he did not know how many days the city would be closed, but he could definitely tell us that the city would not be unsealed within five days.Presumably, it was the master of Hai Dao Sect who issued some order similar to 'close the city for five days first, and then make a decision based on the situation'? "

Bai Yuanqing nodded and asked curiously when Lexu stopped talking.

"So? These three doubts are indeed wrong, but what can they prove?"

"There is a clear time for the city to be closed, and the people in the city have not moved, which is enough to prove that the siren's story is just an excuse. This matter is most likely not an external matter, but an internal matter within Linhai City, or Haidaomen."

Lexu was also used to communicating with smart people like Qin Yunshuo and Jiang Miao. A sentence of three points was enough for the other party to understand what he meant.Seeing that Bai Yuanqing didn't understand, she had to explain one more sentence.

But Bai Yuanqing only has the IQ of an ordinary person. When she looked at Le Shu's picture of "I have explained this question very thoroughly, do you understand?", she was silent for a moment, and then she blinked in shame.

"Hmm... So what does other people's internal affairs have to do with us?"

"cough!"

Qin Yunshuo coughed and turned his head to the side. It could be seen from his blushing face that he had to endure it really hard.

On the other hand, Jiang Miao just laughed out loud with "puchi", don't get me wrong, she wasn't laughing at Bai Yuanqing, but Le Shu's unbelievable expression, it was so funny.

Twitching the corners of his mouth fiercely, looking at Bai Yuanqing who bowed his head in shame, Le Shu rubbed his brows helplessly, and explained further.

"Generally, there are only a few internal matters that need to be sealed. There are only a few situations. Changes in high-level management, the emergence of traitors, or unexpected treasures. If it is the first two, it really has nothing to do with us, but if it is the third..."

I wanted to habitually say half and leave the other half, but when I thought of Bai Yuanqing's IQ, I was overjoyed, and then naturally added the second half of the sentence.

"The treasure that can block the entire Sea Blade Sect has something to do with us. After all, the purpose of traveling is to improve yourself. When you encounter such an opportunity, is there any reason to let it go?"

Stealing a fellow sect's treasure is naturally a disgraceful act.But competing for opportunities is something that only the strong will get, and it has nothing to do with morality or anything like that.

Therefore, Lexu said this matter casually, Qin Yunshuo and Jiang Miao listened easily, and Bai Yuanqing's eyes even shone with excitement because it was the first time she encountered such a thing.

"But since the other party has sealed off the city, even if there is some treasure, how can we enter the city?"

Even Bai Yuanqing knew that she couldn't reveal her identity as a disciple of the "Hanyue Immortal Sect" and forcefully enter the city at this time, but other than that, she really couldn't think of any other way.

"This matter is simple, but before that, we need to determine some things first."
