    Chapter 49: Cabbage and Pig: Why the topic is wrong again?…

    In the limited space in the guest room, the sword light that had been waiting for a long time suddenly flashed and stabbed straight at the mission target’s neck, which was covered by the waterfall of long hair – between the lightning and flint, the person who was originally in the barrel suddenly disappeared. Accompanied by the sound of dripping water, there was a grab from behind!

    Before the attacker could react, the world began to spin and he was thrown to the floor with a loud “bang”.This fall left the person numb all over, and he was so weak that he almost couldn’t hold the sword in his hand – it wasn’t almost, it had been taken away and thrown away.After that, the attacker’s vision went dark and he fell into a coma…

    “Idiot! Idiot!” Bai Renyu, who had flown to a safe position early, saw that the crisis was over, and immediately approached his master again with a “quack” sound, and taunted the black shadow on the ground.

    At this time, Yan Bugui, who jumped up from the barrel, rolled his back, and then rushed forward to disarm the dragon, gently patted his palms twice and dusted away the non-existent fine dust. The sea-blue scale lines that were faintly visible disappeared again. He had obviously just been soaked in the water, but now his whole body and clothes were dry and dry, but his expression was a little confused: “Where did the killer come from?”

    Some powerful assassins or secret guards can control their breathing, gaze, momentum, etc. when approaching the target, which may reveal their own details, but there are not many people who can do this – the attacker who was knocked down by Yan Bugui’s combo obviously does not have this strength, not to mention that the swordsman himself is particularly sharp.

    While they were still on the street, he vaguely realized that he was being targeted by someone. His murderous intent was intermittent, but he could not hide it at all.After confirming that the other party’s target seemed to be only him, he remained calm and pretended not to notice, not even giving Liu Yuan a look, for fear of scaring away the hesitant assassin and making it difficult to find him later.

    The guy followed closely, but he didn’t expect that until they separated, he was alone and still didn’t move.In the end, it was only when he deliberately left the knife beside the bed and “imprisoned” himself in a narrow barrel with nothing but a set of underwear around him that the man dared to draw the sword from behind.

    To be fair, this attacker was quite cautious, knew how to choose the right moment, and was quick enough to strike.If Yan Bugui hadn’t known about such a person from the beginning and had rehearsed how to deal with him many times in his mind, ordinary people would probably hate him and die in an ugly way.But the question arises again, how did he provoke such a killer?

    “What’s going on here?” Yan Bugui and Bai Renyu both looked out the window, and saw Liu Yuan jumping in from the window with a knife. There was no doubt that he heard strange noises coming from Yan Bugui’s side and rushed over to check the situation. However, he did not go through the door, but directly climbed over the eaves and walls, exited through the window and entered through the window.

    Liu Yuan, who jumped into the room, looked at Yan Bugui and the little parrot, and then at the masked man in black lying on the floor, and couldn’t help frowning – there was a wooden barrel in the room, and the steaming water vapor was still faintly filling the room. Yan Bugui’s hair was spread out, and he was only left with the most intimate thin clothes. He could guess at a glance that he had encountered an accident while taking a bath.

    Thinking of the “talent” of his careless brother, Liu Yuan immediately asked: “When did you realize something was wrong?”

    “It’s not important.” Yan Bugui coughed lightly and pointed at the man in black lying at his feet. “The person is not dead. Should we try to interrogate him next or just kill him?”

    “Do you still remember that you were merciful and kept alive for interrogation, but you didn’t know that you could tell me more or less beforehand?” Liu Yuan stared at Yan for a while, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he picked up the bed with a knife and threw it over the person’s head. “Having internal strength does not mean that you are standing without shoes and disheveled clothes.”

    Yan Bugui gathered up the throw quilt and used it as a cloak. He wanted to reply, “I’m not disheveled.”But he didn’t reply smoothly, but suddenly turned his head and looked at the door.Seeing this, Liu Yuan didn’t speak again.Not long after, they heard footsteps standing outside and knocked gently on the door: “Guest, guest? Are you okay here? Do you need help?”

    Yan Bugui immediately replied: “I’m fine here…what’s wrong?”

    The people outside seemed to be relieved, and they could be heard replying as politely as possible: “The guests living downstairs heard that something seemed to have fallen from your place, so we came to ask if there is any place where people are needed.”

    Knowing that the misgivings caused by the noise he made when he threw someone down, Yan Bugui didn’t have to change his words: “It’s okay, I accidentally knocked over the stool, it’s not a big problem. Please help me say sorry for my friends downstairs, I will try not to make such a loud noise again.”

    The person outside the door responded with a “Hey, okay”, and then the footsteps gradually faded away.At this time, Liu Yuan had already taken out a rope and tied up the man in black on the ground – the scarf covering his face had been torn off.Yan Bugui looked down and frowned: “Sure enough, I have never seen this person before…”

    Liu Yuan skillfully searched the unconscious man carefully and found out only some broken silver and banknotes. There was nothing to prove his identity, so he simply made up for it and let the other person fall into a deeper sleep. Then he stood up and glared at Yan Bugui again:

    “Wait a little later, I’ll go outside to help you ask about the origin – but if it’s a killer who took the order, I probably won’t be able to ask anything… What happened to you along the way? How come the killer came to the door? When did it start? Are you hiding anything else from me?”

    Yan Bugui immediately cried out: “This is the first time I have been assassinated. I have never been assassinated before!”

    Knowing that today was the first time, Liu Yuan relaxed a little, but still asked with a straight face: “Even so, what have you done to cause such trouble?”

    “I didn’t do anything…” Yan Bugui looked at Liu Yuan with some confusion, and briefly told Liu Yuan what he had experienced from being picked up by Chu Liuxiang to now, “Those who have had troubles are basically dead. There are not many people alive who have the temperament to commit murder.”

    Just listening to such a brief description, Liu Yuan couldn’t analyze anything useful for a while, but he looked a little strange and asked: “That parrot with a bad mouth was not with you at the beginning?”

    “Who are you calling me for having a bad mouth! Who are you calling me for having a bad mouth!” Before Yan Bugui could answer, Bai Renyu was furious and cursed in anger.However, it didn’t dare to let it rush up and beat someone, not because it was worried that it would hurt Liu Yuan, and its owner would not let it go, but because it couldn’t beat Liu Yuan at all – even if it was tried, it would be a lesson of blood and tears!

    Liu Yuan had already learned to block the nonsense of the little parrot, and Yan Bugui pretended not to hear it at all, and nodded slowly: “Xiao Yu and Xue Ling were originally with Brother Xie, but Brother Xie asked them to find them after he got our clues.”

    Liu Yuan was silent for a moment, then looked at Bai Renyu who was still “ga”ing: “Who mentioned the name ‘Lu Xiaofeng’ to you?” If the parrot had never heard of this name, it would not have any reaction, but when Yan Bugui met Lu Xiaofeng, Bai Renyu was obviously not there yet.If Yan Bugui hadn’t mentioned it to him later, he might have heard of it when he was still with Xie Donghai.

    Bairenyu let out the stereotypical laughter of a “treacherous villain”: “I won’t tell you! I won’t tell you!”

    Liu Yuan immediately looked back at Yan Bugui, and the latter responded obediently: “Xiaoyu should have been heard from Brother Xie.”

    In response, Liu Yuan couldn’t help but ask: “What on earth is Xie Donghai doing in the South China Sea? Is he willing to leave you alone now?”

    He originally didn’t ask Xie Donghai in detail due to various reasons. He even thought it was good that he was away. He didn’t care when he heard that the guy was still stranded in the South China Sea.But when I heard about it today, I realized that Yan Bugui and Xie Donghai had been separated from each other before. No one knew who was doing what, or the two birds came to find them on their own initiative. Only then did Yan Bugui learn about the situation of Xie.

    How come someone named Xie, who is also unfamiliar with the place he was born in, can understand the situation on land so well even though he has been overseas?Since the other party proposed to wait for the vision of heaven and earth to come for a while and then seize the time to leave, there should be no need to leave too many traces here and do something to fight for power. However, the behavior of that guy is really suspicious…

    This question involves Xie Donghai’s secret, and Yan Bugui cannot answer it without his brother Xie’s permission, so he can only hesitate and say: “Brother Xie must have his reasons for doing this.”

    Liu Yuan’s words, “Why don’t you look in the mirror and see how cheap you look like after being sold to help people pay for people?” was already on his lips, but he stopped him and started over again – this is his biological brother, dear, you can’t say that!He took a deep breath, and then sighed: “You have identified Xie Donghai? You are not willing to doubt him at all?”

    Yan Bugui quietly took a look at Liu Yuan’s expression, and felt that although the other person’s emotions were turbulent, his anger and complaints were much lighter than yesterday, so he smiled lightly: “I believe him.”

    Liu Yuan crossed his arms in front of his chest. Yan Bugui had almost made it known that there were secrets between him and Xie Donghai, but the specific secrets were kept tightly guarded.

    It was difficult for him to explain how he felt now, and he felt resentful that his good Chinese cabbage had been stolen by a pig for no apparent reason; but when he thought about it carefully, this Chinese cabbage was accidentally picked up and raised by a pig when he was young, and he had to thank the pig for raising the Chinese cabbage to be so juicy… In terms of blood relationship, he and Yan Bugui are indeed the closest, but in terms of relationship, they can never leave Xie Donghai as his “adopted brother”.

    Liu Yuan, who felt that he still couldn’t calm down after spending a whole night and a whole day, suddenly sighed again. He swallowed the countless words he wanted to say again, and just asked: “Are you going to live your whole life just like now, letting outsiders speculate and be unclear?”

    Without waiting for Yan Bugui’s answer, he added: “I don’t want to listen to your answer – when Xie Donghai comes, I will ask him for a thorough explanation.”

    Yan Bugui, who had already opened his mouth to speak, had no choice but to close it again when he heard the words, and then asked: “Can I be there then?”

    Liu Yuanpi replied with a smile: “Why, do you want to hear your brother Xie say love words to you in front of me?”

    Yan Bugui didn’t nod or shake his head, but replied sincerely: “I’m worried that you will fight again.” – I could still stop him at the scene.

    Liu Yuan didn’t answer. He reached out and lifted the unconscious man in black on the ground and jumped out of the window: “I took him away. You can rest.”
