With a smile on his face, Shangguan Shuai slowly walked towards Xiao Jiu step by step.

His smile was so soft, like the sunshine on a spring day. But in Zhang Tao's view, his smile is like a demon in hell, which is creepy.

Xiao Jiu was still sitting on the ground in a daze, his eyes were blank, looking at the corpse of the boss in front of him, and muttering, "Why, why?"

If it weren't for the next thing, maybe he would never get the answer he wanted.

Shangguan Shuai Shuai came to Xiao Jiu and patted him on the shoulder first, "Don't be afraid, I'll let you know why in a while, don't worry." ”

Then he turned his head to look at Zhang Tao. raised his hand and wanted to pat Zhang Tao's shoulder, but Zhang Tao instinctively dodged it.

His hands froze in the air in awkwardness.

He withdrew his hand and touched his nose stupidly, "What are you afraid of, I won't eat you again." ”

Zhang Tao ignored him and turned around to leave.

"Hey, don't go, don't go. Shangguan Shuai Shuai stepped forward to block Zhang Tao's way, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"You've done helping, and there's no need to go on between us. ”

"What you say sounds a little awkward. Shangguan Shuai Shuai pouted and said.

"Boring. "Zhang Tao has always been very indifferent to Shangguan Shuaishuai.

Because he knows that Shangguan Shuaishuai's identity is not simple.

At present, he still has a lot of trouble to solve, and he doesn't want to get into any trouble because of Shangguan Shuaishuai, and today's battle shows a lot of things.

Shangguan Shuai Shuai is being chased and killed.

That's the trouble.

On the other hand, he can't be sure of Shangguan Shuaishuai's identity, his identity is very sensitive now, and if it is exposed, the consequences will be very serious.

Finally got rid of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion's tracking again, and he didn't want to be found again.

Seeing that Zhang Tao was about to leave again, Shangguan Shuai Shuai stopped him again.

"You said that you are a person who helps people to the end, and you don't understand the truth of sending Buddha to the West?"

Zhang Tao looked at Shangguan Shuaishuai, and then looked back at Xiao Jiu.

"He knows something I want to know, and I'm going to interrogate him later, and no one can disturb him during the interrogation. ”

Zhang Tao didn't speak, turned around and walked back.

"Hey, that's right, it won't be too long. Seeing Zhang Tao's reaction, Shangguan Shuai Shuai knew that he agreed.

Back to Xiao Jiu's side, Shangguan Shuai Shuai grabbed his clothes and lifted him up.

"Let's talk. As he spoke, he dragged Xiao Jiu away.

"It might be a little bloody later. Shangguan Shuai Shuai turned around and said to Zhang Tao.

He didn't go far, found a boulder, and threw Xiao Jiuyi on the ground.

"Alright, it's just the two of us now. ”

Zhang Tao found a stone and sat down, he was not in the mood to care about how Shangguan Shuai Shuai interrogated, he just wanted him to end it early and leave.

The distance between him and Shangguan Shuai Shuai was not very far, and Shangguan Shuai Shuai did not deliberately avoid him, so he heard the conversation between the two very clearly.

"Tell me, who sent you? I only heard Shangguan Shuai Shuai ask.

Maybe Xiao Jiu was still in that state of confusion and didn't hear him answer.

"I almost forgot, I'll have to wake you up first. As soon as Shangguan Shuai finished speaking, he heard a heart-rending roar from behind the boulder.

"Wake up now. "I don't know what kind of method he used.

"Alright, now tell me who sent you. Shangguan Shuaishuai's voice sounded calm, but it gave people a creepy feeling.

"Hmph, don't think about it. "Xiao Jiu has regained his senses.

"Hehe, I didn't expect my mouth to be quite hard, okay, since you don't want to say it, then don't say it. ”

Screams came from behind the boulder.

"I said, I said, don't torture me anymore, don't torture me anymore. Xiao Jiu's weak voice came.

"I don't want to hear it. "Now it is Shangguan Shuai Shuai who has taken the initiative.

I didn't say it when I wanted to hear it, and now you say I don't want to hear it either.

The screams continued.

The night was quiet, the moon was bright in the sky, and the screams around were loud, echoing in the mountains and forests, and it sounded terrifying.

"Alright, hurry up. Zhang Tao really couldn't listen to it anymore.

Although I don't know what kind of method Shangguan Shuai used to torture Xiao Jiu, when he heard Xiao Jiu's screams, he knew that it must be inhuman torture.

"Well, someone has interceded with you. ”

The screams were gone, but Xiao Jiu's moans continued to come from behind the boulder.

Then there was no screaming, Shangguan Shuai asked, and Xiao Jiu answered.

Not long after, there was a slight muffled grunt from behind the boulder, and Shangguan Shuai Shuai walked out from behind.

Shangguan Shuaishuai's face was very unpleasant, and his face seemed to be piled up with frost.

Zhang Tao heard their conversation just now, and he probably knew something.

Looking at Shangguan Shuai's expression, Zhang Tao sighed, "Hey, is this the sorrow of the big family." ”

Shangguan Shuai Shuai did not speak, Zhang Tao did not leave, and the two of them stood quietly.

The night deepened, and the Forest of Death was like a terrible beast, opening its bloody jaws and waiting for its prey to arrive.

For a night, Shangguan Shuai Shuai didn't see any expression on his face.

I don't know for what reason, Zhang Tao didn't leave, but stayed with him for one night.

As the sun rises, the eastern sky is dyed red, and the clouds seem to burn.

After a night of thinking, Shangguan Shuai Shuai regained his old spirit.

He patted Zhang Tao on the shoulder, and this time Zhang Tao didn't dodge, "Thank you." ”

Zhang Tao smiled silently.

The reason why he stayed was because he felt that Shangguan Shuaishuai's current situation was very similar to him, and it could be said that he was sympathetic.

I can't go back to my home.

"I'm glad I escaped, otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be in this world by now. ”

The morning sun leaps out of the horizon and shines on the whole land.

"Hey, I can't go back to my home now. Shangguan Shuai sighed.

"You can go to your father. Zhang Tao proposed.

"What are you going to do?"

"Tell him about your second uncle. ”

"It's useless, now is the critical moment for the competition for the red sandalwood peacock, and my father will definitely turn a blind eye to the past. ”

"Besides, I don't have conclusive evidence, and without evidence, my father can't do anything. ”

"But at the very least, you can prepare your father for it. ”

"Don't worry, my father is guarding against my second uncle anytime and anywhere, and I'm quite relieved about this. ”

Zhang Tao sighed, "Could it be that this is the sorrow of the big family." ”

This is the second time he has lamented the big family.

"There's no way, family infighting, this is normal, it's a very common thing in a big family. ”

Shangguan Shuai Shuai said, but his eyes told Zhang Tao that he was still very concerned about this matter.

Zhang Tao was suddenly glad that he was born in a small family and did not have so many intrigues.

"Oh, by the way, do you know what a red sandalwood peacock is?" Shangguan Shuai Shuai suddenly realized that Zhang Tao might not know the red sandalwood peacock.

Zhang Tao nodded, "I know a little, but it's not comprehensive." ”

Zhang Tao said half-truthfully.

"You know which ones to tell me. ”

"I just heard that the red sandalwood peacock is a treasure, and it is rumored to be born in Yucheng, so I don't know about the rest. ”

Shangguan Shuai Shuai raised his eyebrows, "You really don't know much." ”

"Let Master Ben tell you about it. ”

"Speaking of this red sandalwood peacock, I also heard about it from my father. ”

"There has always been a poem circulating on the mainland. ”

The white jade lion roars and shakes the sky,

The golden unicorn makes the clouds.

The gods have been sealed for thousands of years,

The peacock is now in the southeast.

"This poem is about a treasure, it is rumored that it was left by the predecessors of the martial artists thousands of years ago, as long as you gather a few things, you can open the treasure, get the things inside, and then dominate the entire Fengshen Continent. ”

Among them, the peacock in the southeast gate of the peacock refers to the red sandalwood peacock. ”

Listening to Shangguan Shuaishuai's explanation, Zhang Tao secretly said in his heart, it seems that he doesn't know everything, maybe his father deliberately concealed it from him, or maybe he knows the truth, but he just doesn't want to tell himself.

"There is such a thing in this world. ”

"In addition to the red sandalwood peacock, there are a few other things. ”

Zhang Tao asked pretending not to know.

"Don't be in a hurry. Let me talk to you slowly, that's a long story......"

The two men walked as they spoke, and after a while they disappeared into the Forest of Death.
