Chapter 121: Secret Plans

Baixa was like a headless fly at this time, and his eyes were lost: "I... Why don't I go back to the government residence now and take the initiative to admit my mistake to Chino! I was just upset at the time, and the letter was a completely objective description of the scene, there was no malicious speculation at all, and no other secrets were leaked, Chino should forgive me! ”

"If you admit your mistake, you will die!" Paladin kicked him hard, "It's not what the letter says, it's the nature of the act itself!" Chino won't allow people to be around him who are difficult to control, he doesn't want a companion, it's a dog, you know? Obedient dog! And you, it's no longer a matter of disobedience, you tell outsiders, this behavior has already posed a serious threat to him! A dog that bites its owner, do you think it will be forgiven?! ”

Baiza cried out helplessly, "Then am I going to die..."

At this moment, the singing voices from far and near approached, and a figure passed by the mouth of the alley, and he looked in and beckoned: "Hey, Palatin, Baiza, what are you hiding here?" ”

Paladin subconsciously blocked Baisa and forced a smile: "Oh, Lugo. The Baiza is drunk, and here he is crying and drunk. ”

Lugo patted his belly and smiled: "Ahahaha, he's drunk like this, you're actually okay?" You've finally won him by drinking once! ”

Paladin quickly changed the subject: "What are you going to do here?" ”

Lugo raised the braised rabbit head wrapped in oil paper in his hand: "Of course, I went to the doctor to visit the little beauty." ”

Paladin thought for a moment: "Oh... You said the tavern waiter you saved at the time? She seems to be called... Quiet? ”

Lu Ge smiled: "Yes~ Lao Tzu has been a bachelor for half his life, and he finally seized the opportunity to save the beauty of a hero, so he must hurry up?" ”

"Then come on, go quickly, I'll take care of Baiza here." Paladin quietly gave the order to evict the guest.

"Okay, then I'm leaving~" Lugo just took two steps and stepped back, "By the way, did you get the notice?" The day after tomorrow archery competition. ”

Paladin was stunned: "What archery competition?" ”

"You should know when you go back to the mansion, I just notified you. The day after tomorrow, Chino-sama will hold an archery competition in the palace, and there are many rewards for the champion. Lugo pointed at Baixa and grinned, "When I was training at the shooting range before, I saw that your kid was full of shots, hehe, let's fight it out the day after tomorrow!" I'll go first~"

Lugo left with the rabbit's head, singing all the way: "Little white rabbit, white and white, peel the skin, chop it into pieces, put it in the pot and fry it, add water, cover it, and sprinkle coriander before it comes out of the pot~"

Baixa froze in place, muttering in confusion, "Archery competition..."

"Good news, Chino is only suspicious now, and there is no conclusive evidence in his hands, so he can't be sure that the informant is you!" Paladin shook Baiza's shoulder hard and said heavily, "If someone else is suspected, there is a high probability that it has been indiscriminately erased." But you, me, and Lugo are the three henchmen who came out of Shilin Town with him, and you are the military commander he personally raised, and the military and the people are concerned about political affairs... There are a lot of parties involved, and unless there is conclusive evidence, he can't just kill you! ”

Baiza muttered, "What is the archery competition the day after tomorrow?" ”

Paladin pondered, "According to your description, the reason why Chino is suspicious is because the informant is equally skilled in archery, so he can only judge from the perspective of archery. At this time, an archery competition is held... It should be for temptation! ”

Baixa hurriedly said: "Then I should take a sick leave and not go to the competition, or deliberately release water so that he will not see my superb archery skills, right?" ”

"Stupid! Then you are exposed! Paladin pulled him over and said in a deep voice, "You think about it from Chino's point of view, and it seems to him that you don't know now that he's suspicious of you—because the two of us just learned about it by accident." ”

In the same way, in his eyes, you should not know the real purpose of the archery competition - to test whether you are a whistleblower. After all, archery competitions are held every year and are very common. ”

"At this time, start from your point of view. If you don't know the true purpose of the archery competition, what do you do when you hear the news? It's very simple, just like your first reaction just now - you will excuse yourself not to participate, or you will release water in the competition and not show your true strength - in this way, you will be completely exposed! ”

Baiza's mind was now flustered, and he didn't sort out Paladin's train of thought for a while, but simply trusted the brother, and asked resignedly, "So, what should I do?" ”

Paladin paced back and forth: "The purpose of this archery competition can be summed up in one sentence, which is to test your heart. If you don't have a weak heart and don't participate in the competition or release water, then it is true that you are using arrows to tell Resakhar to inform! Only people with weak hearts will behave abnormally, this is a psychological tactic! We have to do it the other way around..."

Baixa muttered, "What do you mean... Not only can I not miss this archery competition, but I must also play at the same level as before, so as to prove that I am not weak? ”

"That's what it means! But that's only one of them. Chino's vigilance is very heavy, and in addition to your own self-proof through your own lack of heart, if you want to dispel his doubts, there is one more thing you must do - divert your attention. Paladin's eyes showed a look of viciousness, and he said in a deep voice, "We are looking for someone to make him a 'whistleblower.'" ”

Baiza's eyes widened in horror: "You mean, blame someone else??? I would never do that! Rather than blame the innocent for my crimes, I'd rather die myself! ”

"Now is not the time to use your sense of justice!" Paladin grabbed him by the collar and said in a cold voice, "If someone else told me about it, I would have reported it to Chino directly!" I don't care about my own life now, and I'm here to help you cover up the crime, because we have served together in Shilin Town for more than ten years, you saved my life, I also saved yours, we are brothers! I'm not going to watch you die! ”

Baixa brushed his hand away and smiled miserably: "Paladin, I appreciate your kindness, but I will not let the innocent die for me." ”

"Then don't look for the innocent!" Paladin almost roared, "I just thought about it!" Barr, the Balcenturion of the city defenses, you should know him. This guy is a man under the former military commander Brooke Troy, with bad conduct and many evils, and many underage girls have been harmed by him, and it is not a pity to die! As far as his things are concerned, sooner or later they will be done by Chino. It's all death anyway, let his rotten life be exchanged for my brother's life, that's all right?! ”

Although Baiza's heart is still blocked, it is difficult to accept the behavior of harming others and benefiting himself, but for the dead ghost is a rotten person like Baal, who is not as good as a pig and a dog, and the guilt in his heart is more or less reduced.

Seeing that Baixa was silent and did not speak, Paladin knew that he had a bottom in his heart, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It's decided!" From the standpoint, Barr turned out to be Brooke's man, with ample motives to whistleblow, and although this guy has a bad character, his archery skills are very good, which perfectly fits the characteristics of an informer! I'll arrange the rest of the work, you don't have to worry about it. You only have to worry about one last thing, and that's your eyes. ”

Paladin pinched Baiza's cheek, looked him in the eye, and said coldly, "I tell you without exaggeration that Chino's eyes can penetrate people's hearts. The day after tomorrow, he will watch you all the time! When you meet his gaze, if you dare to drift your eyes, he will know that you have a ghost in your heart. In that case, nothing will save you! ”
