Chapter 524: Thinking Too Much
Of course, Chen Shu refused and did not dare to say the answer that Xu Xingkong wanted, of course, Xu Xingkong did not expect Chen Shu to answer his question obediently, even if Chen Shu really said it, Xu Xingkong might not dare to believe it.
So, there was a moment of silence in the room, until Xu Xingkong chuckled and said:
"Actually, I've already gotten a lot of information from this circle, and in addition, Mr. Chen, you can think about your current situation, of course, the most important thing is the situation of the person you care about. ”
Hearing such an obvious threat from Xu Xingkong, Chen Shu's face, which had always been calm, suddenly changed.
"Elder Xu, woe to his wife and children. ”
Xu Xingkong shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Of course I know this, but it's not me who is the one who has caused trouble to my wife and children, and the master you found doesn't pay attention to these, do I still have the obligation to protect your wife and children?"
Xu Xingkong looked at Chen Shu with a smile, Chen Shu was speechless, this pot really can't be counted on other people's heads, he can only carry it himself.
Xu Xingkong's meaning is very clear, as long as Xu Xingkong releases the news of capturing Chen Shu alive, then Chen Shu's master will definitely suspect that Chen Shu leaked the news, and the possibility of Chen Shu's relatives being retaliated against is not ten percent but nine out of nine, don't forget, Chen Shu's master is not a human being, but a demon, those guys are inhuman and extremely temperamental madmen, can their suspicions be light?
In fact, there is no need for Xu Xingkong to leak it, Chen Shu can fully imagine that those old opponents of the government are happy to leak the news of their capture alive intentionally or unintentionally, of course, this is not simply to retaliate against Chen Shu, but to save some face.
Chen Shu sighed helplessly, this is also the reason why he wants to die, but the problem is that now he can't die if he wants to, the feeling of life and death being completely in the hands of others is too uncomfortable, although he has always been in this situation, it does not mean that he has adapted or become numb.
It's just that the more unwilling you are, the more uncomfortable you feel.
has the heart to beg Xu Xingkong, but Chen Shu doesn't know how to open this mouth, and even if Xu Xingkong really agrees, the government can't control what Xu Xingkong does, unless...
Chen Shu gritted his teeth and said:
"Elder Xu, I can cooperate with you. ”
Xu Xingkong raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly.
Of course, Xu Xingkong doesn't have this kind of skill, but Lin Xiaofeng, who sits beside him obediently, has never lacked this kind of means, not that Lin Xiaofeng is a scheming who likes to play tricks, but she can see through Chen Shu's weakness at a glance through Chen Shu's speech and demeanor, when Xu Xingkong is in charge of the conversation, Lin Xiaofeng's cold bystander can give her full play to her characteristics, so with the cooperation of the two, Chen Shu's defense line will be completely defeated in a few words.
"It's good to say no earlier, your time is running out, say what you need to say quickly, you also understand that you can't escape death. ”
Chen Shu smiled bitterly and nodded:
"Thank you Elder Xu, I'm begging for death now, but this has nothing to do with righteousness, I just want to keep my loved ones. ”
Xu Xingkong smiled astringently, nodded and said:
"From my point of view, you died of treachery, okay, don't talk about this gossip, let's talk about the people behind you. ”
......
Although Zhang Chaodong was only an external liaison officer, he did not lack experience in the struggle at all, and when he found out about the movement of the personnel responsible for protecting Xu Xingkong's side, he immediately sent a notice to the real person, and at the same time mobilized the forces around Xu Xingkong to block a considerable area.
However, Chen Shu's subordinates have long been dismissed, and Chen Shu himself is actually an outcast, or an outcast of waste utilization, so not only does the government have nothing to gain, but even the masters of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism hidden around Xu Xingkong only caught two or three kittens, and they are also little devils and ghosts whose IQ is a little anxious.
However, everyone understood that Xu Xingkong seemed to have caught a big fish.
But when Zhang Chaodong hurried over with the real person, Chen Shu was already dead.
Chen Shu's death was a little ugly, his whole person was almost corroded by Gu worms and toxins, and he could barely see the extent of his human form, this situation was very common, and it was just a common control room method for those non-mainstream forces.
Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng did not continue to stay next to a disgusting corpse lying in an inhumanoid shape, but sat on the edge of the courtyard pool, talking and laughing in a low voice, not at all like they had just experienced a battle, of course, this was really not a battle for the two of them.
Miao Zhi Zhenren said hello to the two, and went into the wing room to look at it for a while, Zhang Chaodong stayed and talked to Xu Lin and the two of them very interestingly, and had a general understanding of the general situation of the matter, but he did not inquire in detail, because after a while, Miao Zhi Zhenren would definitely ask Xu Xingkong, so Zhang Chaodong did not plan to overstep his bounds.
Knowing that the real person was obviously prepared, he asked as soon as he came out of the chamber:
"Elder Xu, is that person Chen Shu?"
Xu Xingkong smiled subtly:
"Yes, you know him?"
Miaozhi Zhenren showed a slightly ashamed smile and said:
"Know, he is a registered cultivator, his cooking skills are quite good, and he is also a celebrity in the capital, but we didn't even expect that he had taken refuge in those forces. ”
Xu Xingkong shrugged his shoulders and said, half-truthfully:
"I heard that their Chen family has an enmity with you, why don't you pay attention to him?"
Zhang Chaodong interjected at the right time:
"There are many people who have an enmity with us, and we can all guard against it like a thief? Besides, this so-called enmity cannot be investigated deeply, in the final analysis, it is just that the selfishness is too heavy and the ambition is too great. ”
Zhang Chaodong's words Xu Xingkong of course understands that this kind of problem is not only unique to the government, Yushan Yuzhai also has, the so-called side of the couch does not allow others to snore, no matter what, this social structure is always the weak obey the strong, and as a weak person can not recognize this, put himself in the right position, it is easy to cause tragedy, thus accumulating hatred, and even prolonging the descendants, Chen Shude's situation is obviously dragged down by his elders.
Of course, Xu Xingkong is not interested in delving into this matter, he is not interested in helping the Chen family seek justice, and there is no justice in it, Xu Xingkong said that these are just to tell Zhang Chaodong and the real person Chen Shu the internal reasons for defecting to the demons.
Miao Zhizhen nodded understandingly and said:
"We were careless, what we saw just now, it seems that Chen Shu did not die of Gu worms and another toxin, but the Yuan Shen Forbidden Attack. ”
"Yes, I wanted to control him when the prohibition within the Yuan Shen was activated, and then it triggered the Natal Gu Worm Riot and the Blood Sacrifice Toxin spread. ”
"So, Chen Shu actually took the path of the Wumen?
Xu Xingkong smiled and said:
"Thank you for your concern, there is a nine-killing poison in those wines and dishes, but this poison is useless to me, if you are interested, you can study it. ”
"Nine kills?!"
Zhang Chaodong looked at Xu Xingkong in surprise, and then suddenly smiled and said:
"Elder Xu is really... I have heard of the poison of the nine killings, I can't imagine that there is really this poison, I heard that there is no solution to the poison of the nine killings, because there are too many changes in it, and it can magically dissolve the medicine into a toxin. ”
The real person is also a little discolored:
"Poor Dao has a little understanding of the poison of the nine killings, the poison of the nine killings is just a broad name, in fact, this is a method of configuring poison, not limited to a formula or nine kinds of toxins, the key to this poison is that the toxin will evolve and change, once it cannot be removed in one fell swoop, the toxin will become more and more complex, until the poisoner dies. ”
Xu Xingkong nodded with a faint smile:
"What the real person said is true, but this poison also has a disadvantage, that is, before it is synthesized, as long as one is broken, the poison will be completely ineffective. Since the real person has some understanding of the poison of the nine killings, can he determine the identity of the main messenger behind it through the poison of the nine killings?"
Miao Zhizhen glanced at Lin Xiaofeng and shook his head and said:
"This... Still can't, the poison of the nine killings is said to have been passed on from the ancient witch gate, but the specific inheritance is not clear, although it has appeared a few times in history, but there is no obvious connection, compared to the long history, the number of times the poison of the nine killings appears is too little, as far as the poor road knows, the poison of the nine killings has only appeared twice in the past two hundred years, including this time. ”
Xu Xingkong looked very interested and asked:
"Oh, what about the last time?"
Miaozhi Zhenren's face was a little heavy and replied:
"The last time was the trigger for the Great War more than 100 years ago. ”
"Hey, is the real person saying that the head of the Tushan family of the demon clan was killed because of the poison of the nine killings?"
The real person nodded:
"Yes, although the demon clan kept this matter a secret, and even pointed the responsibility for the incident to the leader of the Buddhist sect at that time, Nanshi Lin Yuan, which eventually led to the escalation of the conflict and caused a big war, but there are many people searching for secrets in this matter, and some people still found this clue, most of the people who have studied that history recently believe that the head of the Tushan family should die of the poison of the nine killings. ”
Xu Xingkong did not continue to ask why he knew that the head of the Tushan family died of the poison of the Wumen, but he aimed at the leaders of the Buddhist sect, as long as anyone who knows a little bit about politics understands, this question is just an excuse and a fuse, because the truth serves interests.
Lin Xiaofeng lightly touched Xu Xingkong's hand, Xu Xingkong thought for a moment and said:
"Is it possible to guess that the war back then was actually caused by demons?"
Miao Zhi Zhenren nodded and replied with a serious face:
"If you connect these two appearances of the Nine Killings Poison, you can indeed make such a guess, but... Isn't that a little too straightforward?"
Xu Xingkong smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter if it's straightforward or not, as long as it's useful, right?"
Miao Zhi Zhenren imagined the consequences of Xu Xingkong dying from the poison of the Nine Killings in the capital, and found that if Xu Xingkong died at this time, maybe it would really be another big upheaval.
Zhang Chaodong also broke out in a cold sweat, fortunately Xu Xingkong was fine this time, otherwise...
"Could it be that their purpose this time is actually to deal with Elder Xu?"
Although Zhang Chaodong's words are somewhat alarmist, if you think about it carefully, it may not be impossible to do so, and all the previous arrangements are also very reasonable just to complete today's poisoning.
Xu Xingkong smiled noncommittally, of course he wouldn't tell the two guys in front of him who were taken aback by his guess, in fact, this poisoning was just a waste use of Chen Shu, an abandoned son, but it would be good if he really thought so.
