"We heard those people ask, but we don't understand what the leader of the group is saying!"

"Oh? You don't understand what he said. "

"Fire!" At that time, the man in the lead had been wearing a bamboo hat, so it was impossible to see his face, and he had never heard anything from him. When those people asked him about his plans for the future, he pointed at the fire in front of him and extended three fingers at the same time.

As for the word 'fire,' it was the old man's guess.

"When did they leave?!"

"About two hours ago!" Li Ruo nodded, which meant that they already sensed that they were about to make a move tonight, so they retreated first. Only the two of them were left in the shop, hiding from the onlookers.

"You guys go out and rest first. If you remember anything, remember to tell us!" Seeing that the old man had been carried out, Li Ruo took General Li and continued to chase after the cave's end.

This tunnel had already been dug for many years, so it was impossible for them not to know about the appearance of such a large tunnel under their house. Furthermore, after the past few events, they could all see that the assailant was not such a kind person, yet he had let them go on his own. All of this was very hard to understand.

But, after a while, Li Jun couldn't think of any reason why they would do so.

From the conversation just now, the old man seemed to have held back his words, as if he had spoken the truth, but also seemed not to have done so. That was because the gesture and action he used to attack Zhe Zhe was obviously meant for them to guess.

Li Ruo originally thought that tonight would be a bright and beautiful night, but she didn't expect that she would fall into an even bigger mystery. She only felt extremely frustrated.

General Li quietly followed behind her. The two of them did not speak for an incense stick of time. The two of them finally arrived at the end of the tunnel.

Unfortunately …

Looking at the dense forest in front of her, Liru felt she had overlooked something, but she couldn't recall what it was.

She rubbed her temples, which were already hurting more and more, and her expression became somewhat impatient.

Where could he find such a huge forest?

Moreover, as long as they were out of their line of sight, these people could openly return to the Royal Capital after changing into their disguise. They could even continue with their unfinished plans. She didn't know them anyway, so even if she appeared before them, they might not be able to recognize her …

Was the action the old man said the leader did three?

Could it be that their next activity would be three days later?

At some time three days later, where was the place and what was it that he was going to do?

Everything was a mess, forcing its way into her mind, making her a little irritated.

Looking at the pitch-black forest, Li Ruo felt melancholy in her heart.

"Since we've already found their lair, it means that your line of thought is correct. Finding the culprit behind this is only a matter of time, you don't have to be too sad!" Suddenly, a gentle male voice came from behind Liruo.

He did not need to turn around to know that Xuanyuan Mo had arrived. However, were these words of Xuanyuan Mo meant as a consolation?

"Any other clues?" She wasn't in the mood to consider the meaning behind his words. It was a professional practice for Ruo Ruo to only have her mind on cases.

"A few shops related to this matter were just sealed, but those people are very tight-lipped and don't have any substantial leads at the moment."

"The old couple from before?" If Li Jun was hesitant, the old man and the assailant were definitely not the same person. However, it was a fact that they deliberately tried to cover it up.

Words are flickering, words are too coherent, as if after repeated deliberation, two old men, being able to survive in the hands of those ruthless people, they are definitely not ordinary people. Someone has already invited them to the county magistrate court.

"En!" Li Ruo nodded her head. Xuanyuan Mo was right, even if not for these reasons, the old man and his assailant definitely had some sort of unusual relationship.

"Let's go back!" Xuanyuan Mo watched as Liru trembled and took off his outer robe for Liru. General Li's eyes lit up as he suddenly realized that the princess wouldn't reject his robe.

Did that mean that the princess wasn't as detestable of the general as she was?

"En!" What General Li did not know was that the reason Liru took the robe was because she knew that nothing special would happen next. Thus, she did not need to continue fighting or anything like that, it had nothing to do with whether she hated Xuanyuan Mo or not.

When he returned to the general's manor, the sky was already slightly pale. They hadn't slept for the entire night and had just started another conversation with the two old men. There were still no substantial clues.

In fact, the few people in the dungeon should only be outer members of this group. In other words, they wouldn't be able to get any clues from them, and up until now, no matter if it was Mu Feng or the two people from the Smoke store, they wouldn't know too much. Unless, they caught the person who threw the explosives in the inn of the Kingdom of Li …

But where was that person?

Liruo's entire body sank deep into the chair, her bony fingers tapping on the small table. If one listened carefully, it would seem to be a very beautiful rhythm. He couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

When Xuanyuan Mo came, what he saw was a scene like this: The sky hadn't completely brightened yet, the door to the room was open and Liru was sitting in the middle, his entire body enveloped in darkness. He unconsciously frowned, raising the Night Pearl in his hand to illuminate Liruo's entire face.

Having not slept for the entire night, she seemed to be exhausted.

"Your things!" He placed the food box in his other hand on the table and took out the things that Rowe had to eat every day.

"Why are you the one who brought him here?" Liruo came back to her senses, picked up the milk and drank a small mouthful before putting it back down. Fasting was not good, so she scooped up a bowl of porridge and began to sip it.

"The butler wanted to see his brother in the cell today. Coincidentally, he has something to talk to you about. So I'm here!" Xuanyuan Mo found a suitable height for the Night Pearl and set it down, suddenly lighting up the entire room.

"Have you eaten?" Only now did Ruo Ruo remember that it hadn't been long since they came back. After Xuanyuan Mo returned, he went straight to the dungeon and probably didn't even have time to change clothes.

"Not yet!" As Xuanyuan Mo said this, he took out a plate from a nearby box and began to scoop his own. He had wanted to save himself the trouble, so he had purposely taken an extra bowl.

Li Ruo raised an eyebrow and didn't say much. She buried her head in her food. She was so hungry, how could this little bit of porridge be enough to eat?

Xuanyuan Mo seemed to have realized that Liru was extremely hungry and ate a small bowl without moving.

"You still want it?" Seeing that there was only a small bowl of porridge left, Liruo curled her lips in dissatisfaction. She was currently extremely conflicted. If she gave it to Xuanyuan Mo, she would be hungry. No way. Xuanyuan Mo seemed to have only eaten a little.

"No!" The corners of Xuanyuan Mo's mouth curled up. Li Ruo had been wishing he could hold the entire porridge bucket in his arms, yet he had asked if he wanted it. This was a complete lie.

However, she seemed very cute like this.

You said so!"

"Hmm, you should really eat more now that you're growing up!" Xuanyuan Mo smiled. Actually, not all women were that detestable. At the very least, the more he looked at Li Ruo, the more he liked her.

"Cough, cough!" She frowned and coughed a few times before slowly putting down the bowl of porridge. Looking at the few remaining porridge, she suddenly felt that it was hard to swallow. Motherf * cker, didn't she just look like a little kid?

"If you can't, then eat less!" He had been so busy recently that he hadn't eaten a proper meal, but as time was of the essence, he had no intention of sparing half of the general's mansion to go to the kitchen and find something to eat. A bowl of porridge was not enough to fill the gaps between his teeth for an eight foot tall man like him.

It was obvious that she was angry, but after thinking for a long time, she still felt that she shouldn't have treated her stomach so badly. She picked up a big gulp and wiped it clean, making Xuanyuan Mo's heart ache.

Don't you know that congee is something to be tasted?

"Xuanyuan Mo, are you very hungry?" Liru burped, and only then did he realize what had happened.

Xuanyuan Mo's face flushed red and he felt slightly embarrassed. Was his performance that obvious?

"No, I ate something before coming!" He turned his head away, no longer looking at the empty bowl. Soon after, a rumbling sound came from his stomach.

"Oh, you ate!" Li Ruo felt it was funny. Sometimes, this guy really cared about face. If he had said so earlier, even if she was hungry, she would have given half of it to him.

"Cough, cough!" Furthermore, it doesn't matter if a man is hungry for a bit, at most, he can eat after he's busy. It's just that he never thought that his stomach would actually not cooperate enough to cover up his awkwardness, so Xuanyuan Mo decided to change the topic. " They can't get anything important out of their mouths. You know, things like solving cases aren't my forte, so maybe I missed something. Do you want to take a look for yourself? "
