Chapter 041: It Turned Out to Be Him

The air in the room was frozen and depressing.

I stared at the old man in front of me, and I saw that he was estimated to be at least sixty or seventy years old, his eyes were bright, and his spirit was very inconsistent with the wrinkles on his forehead and at the corners of his eyes.

Breaking into the third floor of this villa all the way, the guards patrolling on the way, as well as the many guards in the room just now, can deduce the very unusual identity of the old man in front of him.

Seeing that I was speechless, he said again: "Shi Jiazhuang killed nine people in a row, and explored Tongquetai at night, these are all done by General Xiahou?"

I was shocked and shocked that he knew everything I was doing. I was suspicious of Cheng Xiaoman, but after thinking about it, she didn't know that I killed those people that night. I thought in my heart, this person knows too much, whether he can kill people and kill people.

I slowly asked, "Who is Your Excellency?"

"It doesn't matter if General Xiahou doesn't recognize me for the time being, you should always know these, right?" As the old man finished speaking, the man in the tunic beside him turned on a projector, and then a slideshow appeared on the wall.

"White Tiger Terrace!"

"Suzakudai!"

……

In the picture, the White Tiger and the Vermilion Bird Ertai, after thousands of years, have long been eroded by wind and rain, unrecognizable, and no longer have the majestic momentum of the day. Baihutai collapsed underground, leaving only broken walls and only a few stone pillars standing on it.

I recognized it at a glance, but it was slightly different from what I saw in Linzhang County that day. I was shocked in my heart, but I didn't expect that there are still people in modern society who know that these are related to me. And at this moment, what I am most concerned about is the Ice Well Underground Palace, if they have ever entered the underground palace, then Sakura Sakura...... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but clench my fists, full of killing intent.

The screen switches one after the other until the ice well platform ......

"Smack!" the man in the tunic turned off the projector.

Instead of looking back immediately, I closed my eyes and adjusted my emotions, trying not to let them see some clues.

Although I want to know the current situation of the Ice Well Underground Palace, what is the identity of the person in front of me, what is the purpose, and how did I know my connection with Santai?

I don't know anything.

"General Xiahou doesn't want to ask something?" the old man was the first to speak. I looked sideways and saw that he was also expressionless, and his words did not show much emotion.

I said slowly, "Your Excellency knows a lot, do you know that you are completely sure that you will take the lives of two people in one move?"

When the man in the tunic saw my threatening words, he stepped in front of the old man and stared at me vigilantly.

The old man smiled slightly, and said very calmly: "Xiao Zhou, don't be nervous. ”

The man in the tunic who was called Xiao Zhou, after listening to the old man's words, only moved a step to the side, but he was still very vigilant against me.

"All this, you are very strange, right?" the old man's tone was flat, as if he was not afraid of my skills at all, "My surname is Xun, and many ancestors of my family have followed Cao Cao to open up territory and establish Cao Wei, and then assisted his son Cao Pi to consolidate power. ”

I was shocked again, I never thought that someone would mention this to me thousands of years later. "Xun?" I said silently, and the first thing that came to mind was Xun Yu, and I asked slowly: "Is it the Yingchuan Xun family?"

The old man squinted and nodded, took a few steps closer to me, and continued: "The ancestral Xun family has many marriages with the Xiahou family and the Cao family, so one thing is certain, I will not harm General Xiahou. ”

Knowing that he was a descendant of the Xun family, my heart eased a little, but I didn't dare to relax my vigilance, after all, it was not clear what the other party's purpose was.

Although I was born thousands of years ago, the descendant of the Xun family in front of me is very old, and there is one most important thing that I have not yet figured out. I had to lower my posture and ask, "So, what else does Mr. Xun know?"

Xun Lao seemed to smile and said, "I also know that General Xiahou is here for his beloved!"

My hairs stand on end, like five thunderbolts, repeatedly covering up and suppressing, but I still can't match this sentence.

I took a step forward, my eyes like torches, and I looked at Xun Lao. Seeing the situation, Xiao Zhou hurriedly followed a step, wanting to stop me. Between raising his hands and feet, Xiao Zhou's hands hung down weakly in the air, and I locked his throat with one hand, and it was estimated that he couldn't exert his strength.

"Stop!" Xun Lao shouted at the same time, squinted at me, and said sharply: "Xiahoudun, I respect you for having some friendship with your ancestors, and I have sent troops to guard the underground palace for many years, and I wanted to help you." But you are repeatedly presumptuous, don't you think I can't enter the underground palace?"

I gritted my teeth as I listened, but my hand gradually loosened. But instead of believing what he said about helping me, I heard the word "underground palace". I took two steps back and asked bluntly, "Tell me, what do you know, and what do you want me to do?"

Xun Lao glanced at Xiao Zhou, and then turned around and sat back on the seat. Then Xiao Zhou took a bamboo slip and handed it to me.

"See for yourself. Xun Lao's expression returned to normal, and his tone was still flat.

I opened the bamboo slip, saw the shock in my heart, and blurted out: "This is Mr. Wenruo's handwriting?"

Xun Lao nodded and motioned for me to continue reading.

After reading the bamboo slips, "Xun Wenruo wrote", the final signature also confirmed my question. As the letter roughly said, Xun Yu told his descendants to guard the dungeon, protect Liu Yingying, wait for me to appear, and if you have the ability, you can help me open the dungeon.

I thought about it carefully, and the old man in front of me took a lot of effort to avoid any plans, so I said: "Since this is the case, Mr. Xun will make it clear." What needs to be done next?"

Xun Lao didn't answer immediately, just looked at me calmly, his eyes were drowsy, and he couldn't see the joy or sorrow.

There was silence in the room again.

After a long time, Xun Lao slowly said: "I want you three years, and you must do your best to do things for me in these three years!"

"Three years is too long! I didn't even think about it, and blurted out. In fact, I knew I couldn't refuse, but I didn't want to be slaughtered.

"How long does General Xiahou say?" Xun Lao was not angry because of my immediate refusal, nor did he refute it, but still asked me in a flat tone.

"A year!" I replied categorically.

"Yes!" Xun Lao also replied crisply, which was a little surprising to me. But when I think about it, I feel his way again, but I can't help it. ”

Seeing that I was no longer talking, Xun Lao asked with some curiosity: "If you don't ask, what will I let you do?"

I thought in my heart that there was nothing more important than killing people and setting fires, so I only replied lightly: "Is there any difference?"

"Since this is the case, then it is so decided! When the one-year deadline is up, I will arrange for someone to fully assist you in opening the underground palace!" Xun Lao moved back and leaned back on the back of the chair, paused, and added: "General Xiahou, you have to believe that in this world, I, Xun Changyi, am the most capable and suitable person to help you!"

"Then I'll take my leave!" I said and wanted to leave, not wanting to talk any more nonsense.

"Wait a minute!" Xun Changyi stopped me, stood up again, and said as if he had seen through: "I think General Xiahou will stay here tonight, and tomorrow I will arrange for someone to send you back to Qingshuifang, so that I can say goodbye to that female doll." After all, you're not the same kind of people!"

In the end, Xun Changyi said such a sentence heavily, which really played a great role in me. I thought for a while, looked at Xun Changyi, and finally nodded.

Xun Changyi smiled with satisfaction and said to Xiao Zhou: "Find someone to come over and help General Xiahou remove the handcuffs." ”
