Chapter 728: It doesn't matter
Zhang Chi is really funny, this old slippery head has first-class skills to make the rudder, but in the current situation, he can only protect him, and there is no reason for him to fall into the hands of others.
Xue Hongguang still knew a little about Zhang Chi, and knew that if he blindly toughened to the point that he couldn't get off the stage in the end, the person was probably himself, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back to the base to say anything if you have anything to say." ”
Zhang Chi and Cao Chengguang got on the horse together, before leaving, Cao Chengguang did not forget to threaten Hong Blacksmith, and his small eyes stared at him viciously and said: "I will avenge today's revenge every day." ”
Blacksmith Hong was not afraid of him, and replied: "I'm afraid that you won't have a chance again." After saying that, he remembered something again, came to Zhang Chi's front and handed him a few spirit stones, which were exactly what Cao Chengguang was going to give him from Zhang Chi.
Blacksmith Hong said, "I am not targeting you today. ”
Zhang Chi smiled: "Mr. Hong doesn't have to take it to heart, I don't blame you." Although he has only seen Blacksmith Hong twice in total, he can also see that Blacksmith Hong is a kind person, and he is dealing with Cao Chengguang like this today because he has been pitted by Cao Chengguang in the past.
The group left the village and headed in the direction of the base, which was not far from the base, and they had horses to travel, so they could reach it in the evening.
Zhang Chi was escorted by four soldiers throughout the whole process, which was actually surveillance, although Xue Hongguang did not insist on disarming him and handcuffing him, he still did not trust him.
Cao Chengguang was packed in a canvas bag, hanging directly on the side of Xue Hongguang's saddle, and kept scolding all the way, until he was tired of scolding, and then he shrunk into the cloth bag and fell asleep.
At noon just let the horses rest for half an hour, and moved on, already seeing the outline of the base at dusk.
Xue Hongguang was visibly relieved.
Zhang Chi said: "My master, have they arrived?"
Xue Hongguang glanced at Zhang Chi, of course he knew who Zhang Chi was referring to, and now he deliberately emphasized that Xie Zhongjun was his master, and he was clearly hinting at something, Xue Hongguang said coldly: "I don't know!"
Zhang Chi said: "How do you know what happened?
Xue Hongguang did not answer.
Cao Chengguang said: "How else can I get in touch? There is abundant aura here, telephones and mobile phones, and even any communication equipment are interfered with and cannot be used, so the communication method is to send letters, and the fastest communication method is to fly pigeons to pass books." ”
Zhang Chi said: "So primitive?"
Cao Chengguang said: "Of course, powerful spiritual masters can transmit messages over long distances through their minds, but there are a lot of spiritual energy shields in the sinkhole, so spiritual thoughts cannot be transmitted freely, and in a space full of spiritual energy, mental power is rapidly decaying." ”
Zhang Chi remembered what he had encountered in the Netherworld, and the high-level spiritual masters could extend their perspectives through birds and beasts, and even convey their own consciousness, and the environment still had a great impact on people.
Xue Hongguang said: "I don't know how to pretend to understand." ”
Cao Chengguang raised his head and said: "What do you mean by not knowing how to pretend to understand? When Lao Tzu came to Tiankeng, you still wore open crotch pants." ”
Xue Hongguang said: "The development of science and technology is changing with each passing day, how do you feel about leaving the sinkhole and going outside this time?"
Cao Chengguang didn't speak.
Xue Hongguang said: "Do you feel like you have entered a new world? Tiankeng has not changed for decades, but the changes in the outside world are changing rapidly, if people do not adapt to the environment, they will be eliminated by the environment, it is not that we want to keep you here, but you can only live here, you can no longer adapt to the outside world." ”
Cao Chengguang scoffed: "You seem to care about me, you are not afraid that I will not be able to adapt, but that I will create danger to the outside world." ”
Xue Hongguang said: "You still have some self-knowledge. ”
Cao Chengguang laughed and said, "I haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run? ”
The gate of the base slowly opened, and the group entered the base one after another.
Zhang Chi turned over and dismounted, and immediately four soldiers surrounded him, Zhang Chi glared at him, and roared viciously: "What are you doing?"
Cao Cheng added fuel to the fire and said, "Do you still need to ask, they think we are complicit, boy, you are treated almost the same as me now." ”
Xue Hongguang untied the rope, Cao Chengguang was wrapped in a canvas bag, and suddenly fell to the ground, making him grin.
Zhang Chi found that Xie Zhongjun and the other teammates did not appear, and it was estimated that they had not yet arrived at the base.
Xue Hongguang asked Cao Chengguang to be locked up, and he didn't dare to do too much to Zhang Chi, although he suspected that Zhang Chi and Cao Chengguang were colluding, but after all, there was no evidence at present, and everything had to be dealt with after Xie Zhongjun arrived.
Xue Hongguang made a request, he would not restrict Zhang Chi from moving freely in the base, but Zhang Chi had to hand over his weapons and equipment.
Zhang Chi didn't insist this time, and handed over the knife and shield to the equipment warehouse for temporary safekeeping.
took a shower in the dormitory, and then walked to the cafeteria, Lao Xu was preparing dinner in the cafeteria, Zhang Daxian slipped into the back kitchen, and said with a smile: "Lao Xu, you are still interesting enough, you know that I have specially prepared so many dishes." Reaching out to pinch the beef, Lao Xu grabbed his wrist: "This is not for you, Director Xie is coming tonight." ”
Zhang Chi said: "Lao Xu, Lao Xu, I didn't expect you to be a person who tends to be inflammatory." ”
Lao Xu said: "When did you become the director, I will also scold you." He also knew that this kid was a lazy person, and if he didn't give him any benefits, it would definitely not be so easy to get rid of. I took a plate and made him a meat platter, a plate of peanuts, and a braised fish, and gave him a bottle of wine he brewed so that he could take care of himself.
Zhang Chi got cheap, satisfied, and greeted Lao Xu: "You don't drink?"
Lao Xu shook his head and said, "I don't have time, don't you have to prepare for the reception banquet, Director Xie will be there at any time." ”
Zhang Chi nodded, holding the tray and preparing to leave.
Lao Xu remembered something and stopped him, "What did Cao Chengguang do?"
Zhang Chi said: "Murder and arson." ”
Lao Xu sighed and said: "How good it is for this old boy An Ansheng to stay in the sinkhole, this is troublesome, I'm afraid I won't see the light of day in the future." ”
Zhang Chi remembered that Cao Chengguang hadn't eaten yet, so he asked Lao Xu to add some more dishes, but Lao Xu had no choice but to cut another piece of beef and add a bottle of wine to this cheeky guy.
Zhang Chi carried the tray to the place where Cao Chengguang was being held.
Cao Chengguang was calling in the room, and the guard in charge of guarding him saw Zhang Chi coming, and immediately scolded him fiercely: "What are you doing? Is this the place for you?"
Zhang Chi said: "I'll bring him food, I caught the person, I will be responsible for him to live safely until Director Xie arrives, if he starves to death, can you take responsibility?"
"But Team Xue said that no one is allowed to visit. ”
Zhang Chi said: "In this way, you send him a plate of beef and a bottle of wine." ”
The guard's attitude relaxed, and he just nodded, but when he saw Xue Hongguang coming over, he hurriedly stood upright.
Xue Hongguang looked at the tray in Zhang Chi's hand and said, "It seems that you and Cao Chengguang have a deep relationship." ”
Zhang Chi said: "I am out of humanity. ”
Xue Hongguang said: "Why didn't he mention the word humanity when he killed Zhao Lei?"
Zhang Chi secretly thought in his heart, Zhao Lei's death was indeed designed by Cao Chengguang, but Xie Zhongjun was also responsible in this matter, if it wasn't for Xie Zhongjun's deliberate revenge on Cao Chengguang, Zhao Lei would not have died, and Zhang Chi didn't need to explain the truth to Xue Hongguang and turned to leave.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Xie Zhongjun and his entourage finally arrived, he already knew the news that Cao Chengguang was arrested again, Xue Hongguang reported how to capture Cao Chengguang and Zhang Chi, in Xue Hongguang's opinion, Zhang Chi and Cao Chengguang must have colluded, otherwise how to explain that they appeared at the same time at the same time at the Hong blacksmith.
Xie Zhongjun showed great trust in Zhang Chi in this matter, and he believed that Zhang Chi could not collude with Cao Chengguang, otherwise he would also take the credit for catching Cao Chengguang on Zhang Chi's head. Since Xie Zhongjun had set the tone, the others didn't dare to say anything.
When several people were talking, a guard suddenly came to report: "Oh no, Xiong Zhongyang rushed into the confinement room to kill Cao Chengguang to avenge Zhao Lei." ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly stopped talking and rushed to the confinement room.
Xiong Zhongyang and Zhao Lei have a relationship like siblings, Zhao Lei was killed this time, and the saddest person was him, although he also understood that Zhao Lei died on Xie Zhongjun's order, but the culprit was Cao Chengguang, so Xiong Zhongyang was determined to avenge his friend.
When Xie Zhongjun inquired about the situation, Xiong Zhongyang sneaked into the confinement room, knocked down the guards, snatched the key from them, and rushed into the confinement room to fight Cao Chengguang.
When everyone arrived, the door of the confinement room was closed from the inside, and screams could be heard from the outside, obviously Xiong Zhongyang was abusing inside.
Zhang Chi was about to kick the door, but Chu Jianghe had already kicked the door open one step ahead of him, and he was the first to rush in and hug Xiong Zhongyang, who was almost crazy with red eyes.
Cao Chengguang's short body cowered in the corner, this beating was indeed not light, Cao Chengguang finally found that wearing a helmet was still beneficial, at least it helped him protect his head and face.
Xie Zhongjun scolded angrily: "Xiong Zhongyang, you are so bold!"
Xiong Zhongyang yelled: "He killed Zhao Lei!"
Xie Zhongjun only felt extremely harsh when he heard this, others didn't know, he couldn't be clear, Zhao Lei's death was also responsible, he glanced at Chu Jianghe, and Chu Jianghe and Ma dragged Xiong Zhongyang out together.
Xie Zhongjun saw Cao Chengguang trembling in the corner, sighed and said, "Old Cao, old Cao, why are you really here." ”
Zhang Chi walked over and helped Cao Chengguang up, Cao Chengguang looked at Xie Zhongjun and said, "Xie Fatty, you don't want to be a good person with me, didn't you instigate him to come and beat me?"
Xiong Zhongyang's behavior this time really has nothing to do with Xie Zhongjun.
Xie Zhongjun said: "Let's go, I'll invite you to drink, let's talk slowly." ”
When Cao Chengguang heard that there was wine to drink, he suddenly came to his senses, and he deliberately said: "I was beaten so blue and purple that I couldn't walk." ”
Xie Zhongjun said to Zhang Chi: "You carry him over." ”
When Zhang Chi said that he could carry Cao Chengguang to the past, Cao Chengguang said that he could go again.
Xie Zhongjun asked people to prepare a separate room, prepared good food and wine, and specially entertained Cao Chengguang for a drink.
Cao Chengguang found that Xie Zhongjun had changed his routine, he thought that the explosion of the boat would anger Xie Zhongjun, but he didn't expect that such a big thing had happened, and he could still suppress the fire, Xie Zhongjun's city government was really getting deeper and deeper.
Xie Zhongjun poured wine for Cao Chengguang: "Let's have a good drink tonight." ”
Cao Chengguang said: "Is this going to send me on the road?"
Xie Zhongjun picked up his wine glass and said, "I apologize for burning your boat with this glass of wine." ”
Cao Chengguang didn't believe his words a little, looked at Xie Zhongjun and said, "Xie Fatty, don't go around the bend with me, just give me a good time, it's a big deal that I will pay for the life of the person surnamed Zhao." ”
Xie Zhongjun said: "Lao Cao, I only understand now that that boat is not important to you. After a pause, he said, "Xiao Min too." ”
Cao Chengguang continued to eat and drink.
Xie Zhongjun said: "You are a person who puts your own interests first, and you don't love anyone except yourself." ”
Cao Chengguang said: "If you don't even love yourself, how can you love others." The little eyes stared at Xie Zhongjun and said, "Fat Xie, do you know why I want to escape?"
Xie Zhongjun looked at him with interest, waiting for his answer.
Cao Chengguang said: "Actually, I know in my heart that I can't escape from the sinkhole at all, and sooner or later it will fall into your hands." ”
"Why bother you to do it when you know you can't do it. ”
"There's only one reason why I ran away, and that's because I don't want to be taken advantage of by you. ”
Xie Zhongjun laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to have a bit of integrity." ”
Cao Chengguang said: "This is the biggest difference between you and me, I at least have a bottom line." ”
Xie Zhongjun said: "It seems that you don't care about Cao Mingmin anymore. ”
Cao Chengguang said: "After you use me, I will lose my value, can I still expect you to fulfill your promise?" He shook his head, he could see Xie Zhongjun more clearly than most people.
Xie Zhongjun said: "Tomorrow I will send you to the Blood Spirit Lake." ”
Cao Chengguang said: "Qin Lao was designed by you to send him to the Blood Spirit Lake, right?"
Xie Zhongjun smiled silently.
Cao Chengguang said: "You are his adopted son, he raised you as an adult, not only do you not know gratitude, but you unite with outsiders to deal with him, what are you doing in the Blood Spirit Lake? Could it be that your conscience found out and wanted to save him?" Cao Chengguang shook his head: "Impossible, do you want to save others?"
Xie Zhongjun said: "If you have anything to say, hurry up, maybe no one will listen to you in the future." ”
Cao Chengguang said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I'm better than dead, I just don't understand, what are you doing so many things that harm others and yourself? For money? You already have a fortune of hundreds of millions, for power? It seems that you don't have much room to rise, I think about it, there is only one reason why you can do this." ”
Xie Zhongjun's smile condensed on his face, and his eyes became colder and colder as he looked at Cao Chengguang.
Cao Chengguang stopped at this time, he decided not to expose Xie Zhongjun's face, otherwise it would only attract more crazy revenge from this guy, and he still understood the truth that a hero would not suffer immediate losses.
