Hearing what A-Dian said, meaning that the person was someone no one could have imagined, Xu Cheng'an seriously considered all possibilities in his mind. He ruled out his brothers, leaving only his own father and the other seven children.
It was definitely not his own family members, and it was even more impossible with seven children. That left only that young woman. Could it be her? The thought had barely crossed his mind when Xu Cheng'an immediately dismissed the possibility.
What a joke! If she has such amazing skills, then what are we guards who have been selected through layers of competitions? Are we not even as good as her? How is that possible!
"Which one is it? Hurry up and tell me. What time is it? I don't have time to play guessing games with you." Xu Chengan was getting a little annoyed because he couldn't guess.
Which one is it that's hiding so well?
Sensing his companion's impatience and anxiety, A-Dian felt no displeasure. He understood his companion's feelings, because the thought that the young woman was even more capable than him left him with mixed feelings.
It wasn't that they looked down on women, but they all thought that the young lady didn't know martial arts and that she was carrying a sword just to show off.
Sigh, the more people who find out, the more people will be proven wrong. Well, if everyone is proven wrong, then no one will laugh at anyone else, which is better than being proven wrong alone.
Thinking about it this way, A-Dian felt much more at ease.
A-Dian gestured to his shoulder with his hand: "This tall."
Then he measured it against his waist: "The one with the sword."
Which one is the short one carrying a sword? Xu Ancheng went through his companions one by one in his mind. There were two who were about A Dian's shoulder height, but they both carried swords.
Seeing his expression, A-Dian knew he had misunderstood.
He was also afraid that his companion, who was on the verge of losing control, would explode: "How can you be so slow to react? I gave you such a clear hint, it's the one with seven little bald heads."
Upon hearing the answer, Xu Ancheng frowned: "Are you sure? You saw it with your own eyes? Are you sure?"
“I didn’t see it with my own eyes, but I’m sure that when I heard the noise over there, I went over. There was no one else there, just her standing there holding a whip,” A-Dian said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ancheng looked at the two men in black on the ground again. So powerful and ruthless? They were completely different from the young woman he remembered!
Suddenly it dawned on me that if I were to ask the two men in black directly, I would know the answer!
So he squatted down, grabbed the sleeve of the man whose forearm had been crippled, and swung it around.
The man in black broke out in a cold sweat from the pain. He looked at the people in front of him in terror and wanted to say, "What do you want to ask? I'll tell you everything. Can't you do something decent and let go of my sleeve?"
"I told you two not to waste time interrogating these two anymore. The others have already confessed everything. Come on, after we report back to the lord, we can get some sleep," said the guards who had been interrogating the men in black as they walked over.
"Wait a minute, what we want to ask is not the same thing you're interrogating," A-Dian said, turning his head.
"Oh my, I didn't realize you two had become so capable tonight. I remember you two disliked interrogation the most, saying it was too mentally taxing?" The head of the guards, Yin Qingyun, teased him, quite surprised.
Xu Ancheng didn't rush to explain. He pointed to the two men in black on the ground and asked, "Boss Yin, can you tell what kind of weapon caused these two guys' injuries?"
He was wide awake and tired. He wanted everyone to experience what he had just gone through thanks to A-Dian. They were all brothers who had gone through thick and thin together, so of course he had to share it!
"Hmph, you're all so idle, trying to test our Chief Yin on such a simple matter?" one of the guards joked.
Yin Qingyun knew his subordinates' personalities, so instead of scolding them for being idle, he actually bent down to check on them.
It was quickly pointed out that the man in black had been whipped on the face and arms, but when they saw the bloody hole in his knee, they couldn't determine what weapon had caused it.
Instead of staring at the bloody hole, he walked over to another Black man, examined it, and then placed his finger on the spine, touching it and gasping for breath.
"What's wrong, Yin? Can't you see it either?"
"No, who made this?"
The guards who gathered around asked a barrage of questions.
Yin Qingyun kicked the black-clad man's chin, who was unable to move due to a fractured spine: "Tell me, who injured you like this? If you don't tell me, I'll just throw you up the mountain like this."
"What if I tell you?" The man in black had already realized that he was completely finished.
Otherwise, these guards wouldn't be so curious about who did it.
"If you tell me, I'll give you a quick death," Yin Qingyun said.
Although death is inevitable whether I speak out or not, since I already know I'm useless, I might as well just die.
"It was that woman on the donkey cart who plotted against me. They say that a dying man's words are kind, so before I die, I'd like to remind you to be wary of her. She deliberately hides her ignorance and appears innocent and harmless. She brought a few bald-headed children to approach your Lord Wei. Perhaps her purpose is the same as ours."
"You've seen the miserable state my brother and I are in, so you should know how vicious she is." The man in black laughed after saying this. "Even if I die, I won't let that damned little woman get away with it."
His words went unanswered.
Yin Yunqing and the others then asked the man in black whose face had been slapped, if they knew what kind of injury the other party had inflicted on his knee.
This person, who originally had a strong will to live, has suddenly become utterly despondent. He's already in such a miserable state, so it would be understandable if you interrogated him about who ordered him to intercept and kill Lord Wei.
