Seeming to see Wen Xiaoyun's confusion, She Pi explained: "The legend that comes to mind here actually has some connection with my life experience. Because I was born with snake eyes, both relatives and neighbors have a lot of respect for me.
Discussion. There are too many people saying that I am a heretic.
It is also because of this level of experience that I don't like human talk, but prefer snake talk. Of course, snakes, insects, rats and ants are too filthy, so I don't want to belittle myself as a snake. On the contrary, dragons and the like are more in line with my nature.
"
Wen Xiaoyun and Bai Yu looked at each other, and they understood the meaning of She Pi's words.
She Pi prefers to think of himself as a dragon that has not yet become a dragon.
Seeing the expressions of the two people, She Pi already knew what they were thinking, and smiled to herself, "You two kids guessed right. I just compare myself to Jiao, so after being under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, I chose to
I chose this flood dragon path as a place to live.”
Wen Xiaoyun frowned suddenly. She suddenly discovered an important piece of information. She looked at She Pi and said, "Senior She, are you saying that you deliberately chose the residence in Jiao Dao?"
She Pi nodded, "Exactly."
Wen Xiaoyun: "So you know all the directions upstream and downstream of this river?"
Bai Yu also noticed Wen Xiaoyun's concerns and raised his attention, carefully observing She Pi's various reactions and expressions.
She Pi replied: "On weekdays, what I eat are grass snakes in the forest and water snakes in the Jiao Dao. When I'm at home, I go to the Jiao Dao to hunt and check for food."
Wen Xiaoyun continued to ask, "On the surface, it's a bird hunting for prey, but in fact, what the senior really wants to wait for is a walking dragon."
She Pi paused for a moment, then raised his head and smiled, "Yes, the little girl is very clever."
Wen Xiaoyun: "Can you introduce the river where we were ambushed?"
She Pi narrowed his eyes and said reminiscingly: "This river is wide and deep. It looks calm and calm on the surface, but in fact the river below is rugged and changeable.
Some places are gentle, while others have steep slopes. The section of the river where we had the accident, if viewed from a distance, looks like it was divided into two parts.
One half is high and steep, as fast as a waterfall, while the other half has a slope but is much gentler. Anyone who often sails on this river knows that it is a critical place and will choose the gentle side to sail the boat.
After passing that point, the river turns into the forestland downstream. Due to the bend and the obstruction of the forest, the waterfall that was hidden just now cannot be seen again.
It is said that that strange river channel was created by the huge tail of an evil dragon that turned into a dragon when it passed by a hundred years ago."
Wen Xiaoyun frowned unconsciously and looked far away in the direction where She Pi raised her finger. Sure enough, she could no longer see the part of the river before it turned.
"Just cutting off the roof of the boat shed is not enough to cause the ship to capsize. A more reasonable guess is that after the roof of the boat shed was cut off, the bow of the boat lost control for a while and was swept into another undercurrent waterfall.
By the time we in the cabin swam out from the cabin, we had been taken by the boat to a gentle downstream. We in the river naturally swam down the river, and by the time we escaped the unexpected rain of arrows, we had already traveled a long way."
She Pi nodded, "That should be the case."
Wen Xiaoyun raised his head again, "This raises two questions. The first is the issue of time. If the Wenxiang Sect's people followed Brother Bai all the way from Yanzhou Prefecture to kill temporarily, there would be no time to do such a thing.
An ingenious plan. After all, Brother Bai met our boat on the way here. After encountering it, he didn’t stop and just got on the boat and went down the river together.
The place where Brother Bai met us was not that far from the place where the accident occurred. It didn't even take half a quarter of an hour to go back and forth. Besides, there were government officials secretly following Brother Bai behind him. As long as the follower got closer,
can be discovered by them.
The second doubt is that since they wanted to kill us, why didn't they continue to follow the current? Instead, they disappeared after a shower of arrows? Are they so confident that if the boat capsizes, we will be flooded by the river?
die?"
She Pi said speculatively: "Isn't there a group of people behind Mr. Bai? Could it be that someone in ambush wanted to chase after him? Suddenly he discovered the large group of people hiding behind Mr. Bai. He was afraid of being discovered by the government.
Did you have no choice but to continue to hunt us down?"
Bai Yao said with complicated eyes: "At the beginning when we were in danger, the juniors thought the same way.
I thought that when the officers behind me saw someone ambushing them, they would attack to arrest them. It wasn't until Junqing analyzed Qin Qi that the junior suddenly felt an ominous premonition and couldn't recall Qin Qi with a whistle, and then he realized what had happened.
wrong."
Wen Xiaoyun nodded, knowing that Bai Yao only said half of what he said.
Since She Pi was not allowed to discover the identity of Prince Baiyu, the identity of Qin Qi and the secret guards could not be made clear.
According to the previous work distribution of secret guards, Qin Qi was mainly responsible for personal protection, while other secret guards were responsible for supporting him at some distance.
Under the circumstances at that time, Qin Qi should have rushed out in time, and other secret guards should be responsible for dealing with the aftermath and dealing with the Wenxiang Sect followers who were chasing after him.
