98. Chapter 98
The three knocks on the door made the two people in the room stunned, and the movements of Huo Zhanbai, who was originally tied up in his hair, also paused.
"I'll open the door." Jiang Zinan had her back to Huo Zhanbai, and knowing that Huo Zhanbai was changing her clothes now, she walked to the door by herself to open the door.
"Big brother...... Sister-in-law? Seeing the two handsome men standing side by side in front of him, Jiang Zinan couldn't help but exclaim.
They were just going to find the eldest brother, but now the eldest brother is here, it's too coincidental!
And Huo Zhanbai, who was wearing clothes in the back, frowned, why did Yan Yan come to him? Could it be...... He was discovered?!
But it can't be! He doesn't have any flaws at all!
Huo Zhanbai lowered his head and straightened his clothes, burying the deep thoughts in his eyes in the darkness.
And Yan Yan was very surprised that it was Jiang Zinan who opened the door, he reached out and took Rong Yu's hand, walked into the room together, and asked at the same time, "Huh?" Zi Nan, why are you here? ”
In fact, Yan Yan really didn't want to come here at this time, you must know that he was just about to dismantle his daughter-in-law and eat it, but when he untied his daughter-in-law's profane clothes, he found that the pendant on his daughter-in-law's neck was missing......
And the daughter-in-law said that she had seen Huo Zhanbai in the afternoon, so although he couldn't believe it, he hurriedly dressed the two of them and ran to the dark room, and found that there were indeed traces of someone entering, and finally ran to Huo Zhanbai's door and knocked on the door.
Now seeing that Jiang Zinan is in front of him, Yan Yan can't help but arouse a trace of suspicion in his heart, since even Huo Zhanbai, who is most unlikely to be an inner ghost, may be a betrayer, then Jiang Zinan's suspicion is not low.
And Jiang Zinan didn't have any ideas, she saw Yan Yan, so she naturally wanted to say about Huo Zhanting's identity as an "inner ghost", and wanted to intercede with the other party and let the boss let him go, so she saw Yan Yan sitting down in front of the small wooden table with Rong Yu hand in hand, so she jumped over, "Boss, we just wanted to find you......"
Seeing Jiang Zinan with a hesitant face, Yan Yan also raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"It's just ......" Before facing Yan Yan, Jiang Zinan still had the courage to say that he wanted to intercede for Huo Zhanting, who might be an internal ghost, but when he saw Yan Yan with a stern face in front of him, Jiang Zinan's original words were all stuck.
If Huo Zhanting is really an inner ghost, then even if she pleads, it is actually impossible for the boss to agree! After all, it was an inner ghost, one of the culprits who buried the hundreds of people in their Thunder Wind Village, and it was an identity that was even more resentful than Zhou Lixuan!
The people of Thunder Wind Village hate Zhou Lixuan, and they can't wait to cramp and peel him, but he is the emperor's person, and he is in opposition to the entire Thunder Wind Village, and the hatred for him is more of a hatred for his ruthless hands.
And for the inner ghost of Fengzhai, the people of Thunder Fengzhai can't wait to frustrate him!
Why? Because he's a man from Thunder Wind Village!
As a member of Fengzhai, but he eats inside and out, and does things like the emperor's old man, how could the people of Fengzhai be willing to let him go?!
Therefore, Jiang Zinan, who was standing in front of Yan Yan, had nothing to say.
There was a sadness in her eyes, if she wasn't in love with Huo Zhanting, if they weren't childhood sweethearts, if they hadn't promised each other for life...... So, how could she still have such thoughts?!
If...... She said what if, if Huo Zhanting was not an internal ghost, what would it be? Clearly...... Obviously, the relationship between their brothers is so deep; Obviously, Huo Zhanting is so quiet and low-key in his life and work......
However, judging from the evidence they found before, it was basically certain that Huo Zhanting was an internal ghost, even if she was the first to believe it, even if she wanted to go crazy, but all the evidence pointed to Huo Zhanting!
Now that the matter is approaching, she can't speak.
Whenever she wanted to speak, the faces of the old people and children who had passed away would appear in front of her eyes, one by one, with blurred flesh and blood, hideous faces......
They seemed to be staring at her and saying, how can you, how can you go and intercede for that culprit so lightly?
His life is so important, so what about those of us who died?!
How can our grievances be washed away?!
Jiang Zinan was so frightened by the imaginary plot in her mind that she couldn't speak, she could only turn her eyes for help to Huo Zhanbai, who was already dressed.
And Huo Zhanbai did not live up to her expectations and stood up, "Big brother ......"
While Huo Zhanbai spoke, his face also showed a look of inner struggle and uneasiness, and there seemed to be countless disappointments and pains in his eyes, "Boss, we are actually ......"
Huo Zhanbai struggled and wanted to speak, but Jiang Zinan, who was originally expecting him to speak, stopped his next words at this time, "Second brother! Say no more! ”
After Yan Yan Yan looked at him seriously and with a little inquiring gaze, Jiang Zinan finally couldn't bear the pressure in his heart and spoke.
She thought that although she was still reluctant to Huo Zhanting, she couldn't convince herself to intercede for someone who might be a ghost despite those dead relatives.
Therefore, she still stopped Huo Zhanbai's words at the last moment.
She thought, it's a big deal to wait for the boss to reveal everything, and then she will accompany Huo Zhanting to go together!
Anyway, she just fell in love with the wrong person......
And under the gaze of Jiang Zinan's desperate and helpless eyes, Yan Yan finally guessed the reason why Jiang Zinan came to Huo Zhanbai's room.
Among the six of them, except for Duan Xiao and Huo Zhanting himself, almost everyone tacitly agreed that Huo Zhanting was an internal ghost, but they hadn't caught the exact evidence yet.
But Jiang Zinan and Huo Zhanting are childhood sweethearts with deep feelings, and Jiang Zinan is undoubtedly the most desperate of them in the speculation of the identity of this inner ghost.
If you bring it in, assuming that the fall of Thunder Wind Village this time is not their brother's ghost, but his daughter-in-law's means plan, then his mood is no different from Jiang Zinan at this moment!
Therefore, Yan Yan quickly figured out Jiang Zinan's hesitation and struggle, and removed her from the list of inner ghosts.
But now, he glanced at Huo Zhanbai who was standing in front of him, things seemed to have reversed again, and many things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
Once there is doubt in my heart, my perspective on things has changed, and many secrets hidden under specious "facts" have become clearer.
Huo Zhanbai, as the former wisdom of the Thunder Wind Village, his IQ is undoubtedly very high, if a qiē is his handwriting, and in the case of his infinite trust in him, it is also very simple for him to cross the sky and the sea.
And now, just because of the deliberate encounter between Huo Zhanbai and Rong Yu in the afternoon, Yan Yan had already doubted him.
Since he was able to suspect Huo Zhanting before, now, he can also suspect Huo Zhanbai.
He was too naïve before.
Yan Yan felt bitter in his heart.
When it comes to feelings, among the five of them, the person he trusts the most is Huo Zhanbai, not only because of the wisdom of the other party, but also because of the bits and pieces he has expressed in life.
Huo Zhanbai really didn't show any clues on weekdays, and there was no flaw in his behavior, actions, speech and demeanor.
But today, he remembered the missing pendant around his daughter-in-law's neck, and the holy decree that disappeared in the secret room, and those things, he had already left a little medicinal powder with a special fragrance on it.
And this fragrance can only be smelled by a special flying insect corresponding to it in his hand.
And now, he still has a small, delicate tracking butterfly in his wide sleeve.
Yan Yan looked at Huo Zhanbai's eyes with a slightly complicated look.
He really didn't suspect Huo Zhanbai at all, because he was the only one who seemed to be the least likely to be an inner ghost.
The other three masters, the third one is very arrogant, and he does things roughly, and the suspicion is very small.
But he pointed out Rong Yu at the first time, diverting the attention of all of them, although □□ of them were used because of his personality, but it cannot be ruled out that it was his own deliberate gesture.
Huo Zhanting, the fourth elder, single-handedly controlled the intelligence network of the entire Thunder Wind Village, and his suspicion from the beginning was the greatest, at least from the moment Zhou Lixuan's elite soldiers easily attacked the village, but the Wind Village did not get the slightest news, he could not pick it out.
After that, he carefully avoided Huo Zhanting and made a series of investigations, and in the end, all the evidence only increased Huo Zhanting's suspicion, and it seemed reasonable.
Lao Wujiang Zinan is the only female leader in Thunder Wind Village, and she has the best relationship with the old and weak women and children in the village, like relatives, and it stands to reason that her suspicion is also very small.
However, who of these leaders in their Thunder Wind Village has a bad relationship with the compatriots in the village? But in fact, isn't there still an inner ghost between them?!
Therefore, everyone is suspicious, but Huo Zhanting's suspicion is the deepest.
But now, things have turned a 180-degree bend, and the most unlikely suspect is the real ghost.
Now it seems that Huo Zhanting is the best at disguise, but in fact, it is not, as long as it can be determined that the inner ghost is really Huo Zhanbai, then the most terrifying one of them will appear.
An inner ghost, but as a brother, he is perfectly disguised in front of him, and his flawless performance has to be said to be extremely scary.
And Huo Zhanbai is undoubtedly extremely smart, from the moment Yan Yan and Rong Yu stepped into the door of this room, he had already begun to wonder if he had shown his feet somewhere.
It's just that at that time, he was lucky, hoping that Yan Yan and the others just ran to him on a whim.
And now, seeing the trace of gloom and disappointment that flashed in Yan Yan's eyes when he looked up at him, Huo Zhanbai knew that he was really exposed.
Now that it has been exposed, the shield is no longer useful, Yan Yan has already seen through it, and at this moment, Huo Zhanbai will not pretend.
Anyway, everything he wants has already arrived, and he is now only one step away from running to his own splendid future, and he is not afraid at all.
So he made a quick decision, stretched out one hand and grabbed Jiang Zinan's neck and held him hostage, while the other hand reached to the side of the bed and picked up the delicate sandalwood box.
As for the obvious in Yan Yan's heart, Rong Yu's status is definitely higher than Jiang Zinan's, but he chose to hold Jiang Zinan hostage instead of Rong Yu, and there is a reason for this.
First of all, Rong Yu's force value is only high or low compared to Jiang Zinan, which can be seen from the fact that Rong Yu can fight with Zhou Lixuan at the beginning.
Furthermore, looking at the posture of Yan Yan and the others, they knew that their suspicions about themselves had been basically determined, so their precautions must be very high, and it would be difficult for him to succeed in one blow, but although Jiang Zinan's force was not low, he was not at all defenseless against him, and he could easily hold people hostage.
In the end, of course, with Yan Yan's upright Cheng dù, no matter whether he is holding Rong Yu or Jiang Zinan hostage, as long as they are not part of the betrayer, he will never give up on each other, and the difference is only in the level of his heartache that both parties may be injured.
So he finally chose to kidnap Jiang Zinan.
And Yan Yan didn't expect Huo Zhanbai to make such an instant decision, the moment he made a move, he didn't have time to interfere at all, Jiang Zinan was already stuck by the other party.
And Jiang Zinan, who was held by Huo Zhanbai's neck, was already sluggish, her mind couldn't turn for a while, obviously they were still struggling with Yan Yan to intercede for Huo Zhanting, but in the next second, she had already been seized by her second brother to threaten her eldest brother.
But Yan Yan and Rong Yu's reaction was also very fast, almost at the moment when Huo Zhanbai burst out, they also launched an attack on Huo Zhanbai one by one.
Huo Zhanbai was shocked.
He kidnapped Jiang Zinan, thinking that Yan Yan and the others would definitely throw themselves into the rat trap, after all, he held Jiang Zinan's lifeline, as long as his hand moved, Jiang Zinan could die in an instant.
However, Yan Yan's actions made his previous thoughts a joke, because even if Yan and Yan Yan attacked him, he still couldn't kill Jiang Zinan, after all, Jiang Zinan was the only bargaining chip he could get out of the dungeon now.
Jiang Zinan can't die.
And Yan Yan and the others naturally thought of this, so they spared no effort in their attacks.
What's more, Jiang Zinan himself is not covered.
Although there was a moment of sluggishness at the beginning, Jiang Zinan also reacted quickly, Huo Zhanbai is now a cousin, if she still doesn't know that the other party is an inner ghost, she will be a fool, so she quickly counterattacked.
Although she was held in her lifeline, she didn't dare to use her internal strength lightly, but even if she only relied on her strength, with the cooperation of Yan Yan and the others, she could easily break free from Huo Zhanbai's shackles.
Who made Huo Zhanbai the lowest force value among the five of them? With Jiang Zinan alone, he can defeat him, not to mention that now she has two perverts with super high force value by her side to help.
Therefore, Huo Zhanbai, who was subdued by one move in the end, only lost the force value.
One force will drop ten, which is actually not bad at all.
In the end, the lost pendant was found from Huo Zhanbai, who was restrained, and the blank holy decree was also taken back by Yan Yan.
Yes, the Blank Decree!
The old emperor of that year, out of guilt for his youngest son, and because the youngest son was deprived of his power as a father, he was also sent to the border city to resist the enemy, so in addition to building this magnificent dungeon, he also gave Yan Yan's father a blank holy decree.
I have to say that this is a sharp weapon to make Yan Yan rebel openly.
This is also the reason why Zhou Xin can't sit comfortably on the throne.
And now, it's time to get on the right track.
Later, Duan Xiao and Huo Zhanting also rushed over, and they accepted Huo Zhanbai's identity as an inner ghost, one because it was his own brother, and the other because he unswervingly believed that Rong Yu was the inner ghost.
But Jiang Zinan will arrange everything.
Rong Yu shook his hand and went to the room after restraining Huo Zhanbai, after all, he hadn't slept for a day and a night because of this incident.
And Yan Yan naturally followed in three or two steps.
"Daughter-in-law, let's go back and continue with what we did before!" He's not done yet.
"Let's choose a better position, it must be the most relaxing posture for your daughter-in-law!" His daughter-in-law should be tired.
"Daughter-in-law......" Yan Yan followed two steps behind Rong Yu, chattering endlessly.
The unbearable Rong Yu could only reply to him with two words in the end: "Shut up!" ”
And Jiang Zinan, who vaguely heard two sentences: "......"
Could it be that the second brother has become an internal ghost, and her boss is not sad at all?!
But thinking about it, Huo Zhanbai, as the second leader of the Thunder Wind Village, destroyed the entire Thunder Wind Village so frantically, he is not worth being sad at all.
And the one who should be sad should have been all sad when he first learned that there was an inner ghost between the five brothers......
