Chapter 307 Entering the Ground for Peace

Fang Jie's dagger stayed an inch outside Lu Ou's heart, and his hand was so stable. The dagger stopped in mid-air without the slightest shaking, as if the hilt had been stuck in a rock. But the hands were not rocks or immovable, and as long as he pressed down gently, the dagger would pierce through the gull's skin and poke into his heart. The hand holding the knife twisted back and forth once or twice, and that heart shattered.

"Now answer my first question."

Fang Xie squatted beside Lu Ou and asked, "How many times have the people of the Buddha Sect looked for Luo Yao over the years, what is the identity of the people from the Buddha Sect?" What did they talk about and how long did they stay? Say as much as you know, don't doubt my judgment and what I already know, you're only a blink of an eye away from death. ”

"I ......"

Lu Ou's eyes flickered: "I don't know much, you should know that my time in the Great General's Mansion is not long." ”

"But you have a close relationship with Rowan."

Fang explained: "So you know more than the people who have been in Luo Yao's Mansion for a long time, which is why I am looking for you." In fact, the reason why I would have taken action against you when I was in the Imperial Capital Red Sleeve Move, at that time I wanted to force you to answer these questions, but unfortunately Ye Jinnan came too quickly. ”

"Say, a broken life is also a life."

Fang Xie said patiently: "And those who are incomplete and incomplete may also become human beings." ”

Lu Ou swallowed hard and spat at the mouth, and his Adam's apple rose and fell.

"I knew it twice, but I don't know what the identity of the Buddha Sect is, because the major general only mentions it to me occasionally, you believe me...... If the major general refuses to say, I don't dare to ask myself. The young general only mentioned it one day when he was drinking, and over the years, there were people from the Buddhist sect who dared to come to the general. But the major general didn't know what they talked about, because when the general met with the people of Buddhism, there was no one left around. And...... And almost no one else knew about it, except for the major general. ”

The young general speculated that it seemed that the people of Buddhism planned to preach in the southwest and wanted to find the general to accommodate. But you also know Your Majesty's dislike for the people of the Buddha Sect, how could the general allow the people of the Buddha Sect to gain a foothold in the southwest? ”

"You really don't know the identity of the person from the Buddha Sect who went to see Luo Yao?"

"I really don't know...... But it is estimated that the status should not be low, and it is not easy for ordinary people to meet the general. ”

"Hmm"

Fang Xie nodded: "Even if you answer more honestly, it is not much different from the news I already know." The second question is about those barbarian wizards, how many wizards are there in Luo Yao's mansion? ”

"I know two...... It seems that when the general ordered the slaughter of several barbarian tribes, these two people came to the door themselves, and they said that they could help the general and do things for the general. But he asked the general not to kill all the people of those tribes, and the general left the two of them, but still ordered the slaughter of all the young and strong men of those tribes, and none of the men over ten years old and under sixty years old remained. ”

Fang Xie hummed and said, "This is in line with Luo Yao's temperament. ”

He looked at Lu Ou and asked, "Then do you know if Luo Yao raised those wizards and made them do anything?" ”

"Not really!"

Lu Ou said: "Although my days in the Great General's Mansion are not long, I have only seen those two barbarian wizards a few times. They seem to have only lived in the courtyard at the back of the General's Mansion, and they rarely came out and walked around, and they had never heard of anything the General had asked them to do. ”

"When did Luo Yao start taking in those wizards?"

"I don't know...... I really don't know ......."

Fang Xie shook his head helplessly: "You were very honest just now, but now you are not honest at all." I told you that I know a lot about Luo Yao, and I may not know what you said. ”

His dagger slashed suddenly, and with a thud it left a deep wound on Lu Ou's left leg, and soon, blood was pouring out of the wound like a stream. This knife solution was extremely accurate, and it only almost hurt the artery of the land gull.

"Ahh

Lu Ou exclaimed in surprise, and shrank back: "I really don't know." ”

Fang Xie sighed, took out the rope from the deerskin bag on his waist, tied the land gull, and then hung it on the branch of a large tree. The bound lull swayed in mid-air, blood dripping from his thighs.

Fang Xie took out a very thin bamboo tube from the leather bag, sharpened one end, and then walked in front of Lu Ou, raised his head to look at Lu Ou and said seriously: "I showed mercy to the knife just now, because you answered the first question honestly." I'll ask you again, when did Luo Yao start taking in those barbarian wizards? ”

"I ......"

Lu Ou hesitated, but Fang Xie did not hesitate.

He stabbed the thin bamboo tube into Lu Ou's thigh with a pop, and pierced it into the artery and vessel. Soon, blood flowed down the bamboo pipes, dripping and dyeing a few small grasses on the ground red.

"If I don't pull this bamboo pipe out, I guess you'll die of blood loss in half an hour at most. When the time comes, the corpse that has bled up will be as shriveled as dead wood, and even the most greedy wolf will not eat your flesh. You can imagine that you have been bleeding until you die, although it is not too painful, but you can clearly feel a little bit of weakness in yourself, and clearly feel the strength being stripped away in your body. ”

He walked not far away, sat down on a stone, took out his pipe, stuffed it with tobacco and lit it, and then took a puff: "Although I don't have much time, I still have to consume you until you die." ”

"A long time ago...... A long time ago, there were barbarian wizards around the Great General! ”

Lu Ou begged, "Please, pull that thing off my leg." ”

……

……

"Time, number of people."

Fang Xie spat out a puff of smoke from his mouth and didn't get up immediately.

"The young general once mentioned to me that the general had been superstitious about the barbarian wizards many years ago, and that several conquests against the barbarians over the years were all because the general ordered the sorcerers of those tribes to come to his house to do things, and those sorcerers refused to do so, so the general gave the order to attack. It is said that the general kept those wizards but never let them out, but kept doing something in a secret place in the mansion. ”

"The major general was once very drunk and seemed to be very dissatisfied. He said that when he was a child, the general was like this, and he asked the general's wife, as if after the death of the eldest prince Luo Wu, the general's personality became more and more withdrawn and weird. Later, when the Shang State was pacified, the general had just been promoted to the general of the left avant-garde, and when he led his troops to fight in the southwest, he heard that the barbarian wizards knew a lot of strange witchcraft, and began to secretly search for these people. ”

"It's just that no one knows what the general is doing with these wizards."

"Perhaps...... Perhaps the major general and the general's wife should know. ”

Lu Ou's face was as white as paper, and he looked out of breath after saying so many words in one breath. He looked at Fang Xie and pleaded, "Please, hurry up and pull out that bamboo pipe, I don't want to die...... Don't want to die. ”

"No hurry"

Fang Xie shook his head: "Go on, Luo Yao has collected those wizards and raised them in his own mansion for so many years, obviously the number of them will not be too small, and it is impossible that there will be no horses and feet at all." If you think about it, what do those wizards have to do with it? Who is it? Or what's the matter? ”

Because of anxiety and fear, the expression on Lu Ou's face was extremely complicated: "I want to think about it...... I want to think about ......"

Lu Ou's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he lowered his head to see the blood in the bamboo tube constantly falling. The more I looked, the more intense that fear became.

"I remembered...... Those wizards all lived in the deepest courtyard of the Great General's Mansion, and basically didn't come out and walk around. But once a wizard came out and told the guards in the house to go out and get the fetal blood of a child, and it had to be a boy. And also...... It is said that more than ten years ago, I don't know why, the general seems to have killed many wizards in a fit of rage. When I was a teenager, my father once mentioned it at home, saying that the miserable howl in the courtyard behind the General's Mansion lasted for a long time more than ten years ago, and then he saw the general's personal guards carrying many corpses out of the courtyard. ”

"More than ten years ago?"

Fang Xie immediately asked.

"I don't remember exactly, but it's been at least fourteen or fifteen years."

Lu Ou said eagerly: "Please, quickly pull out the bamboo pipe." ”

Fang Xie knocked his pipe against the stone, his brow furrowed. He got up and walked to Lu Ou to pull out the bamboo pipe, and then tore Lu Ou's clothes and strangled his left leg.

"As I said, as long as you answer my questions well, I won't embarrass you."

Fang Xie looked into Lu Ou's eyes and said, "Now answer me one more question...... Left avant-garde, how many troops do you have? Do the local officials of the four provinces in the southwest have to allocate money from the treasury every year to honor Luo Yao? ”

"Left midfielder ......"

Lu Ou felt that he was really getting weaker and weaker, so the fear in his heart became stronger and stronger: "There should be no less than 400,000 people in the left avant-garde, and the number of people reported to the imperial court is 200,000, and the imperial court will pay 200,000 yuan." The rest of the people and horses are supported by local officials. Of course, the general will send troops to clean up those barbarians every year, and he can also get a lot of wealth, and you know that there is no shortage of silver in the barbarian tribes, but it is all made into ornaments and not circulated. Also, in addition to the general Chen Bing's transit in Nanyan, the Southern Yan Emperor Murong Yan will also send a lot of silver to the general every year. ”

Fang Xie hummed and asked, "Where are these 200,000 supernumerary people stationed?" ”

"Most of them are stationed in the southwest of Yongzhou, forty miles. Less than 100 miles to the south is Nanyan, and 300 miles southwest is the tribe of barbarians. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "One last question...... How high is Luo Yao's cultivation? ”

"I don't know...... Since the destruction of the Shang Kingdom, no one has seen the Great General make a move. ”

Lu Ou begged: "I've already said everything I know, let me go." ”

Fang Xie shook his head slowly.

Lu Ou's face immediately changed: "You...... You're lying to me. ”

Fang Xie was silent for a while and then said, "At first, I really wanted to leave you to help me, after all, with the assistance of someone like you, Char Luoyao's details would be much easier. And you have a good relationship with Rowan, and you can also help me find out a lot of news from Rowan's mouth. ”

"But I regret it."

Fang Xie sighed and said, "You have followed Luo Yao for so many years, but you have so easily told him how much he knows. And if you follow me, I'm afraid you will sell me without being persecuted. It was my fault that I reversed myself because I had neglected this before. But don't worry, I won't make you miserable. ”

He stretched out his hand to help Lu Ou tidy up his clothes: "It's your bad luck that you met a person like me, who always wants to be a good person but is destined not to be a good person." ”

"Fang Jie! I'm dead, and I won't let you go. If there is an afterlife, I will dismantle you in eight pieces! ”

"Let's wait until you're a ghost...... Also, don't talk to me about the afterlife, I understand it a little bit more deeply than you do. What's more, even if there is an afterlife, it will only kill you one more time. ”

Fang Xie poked the dagger into Lu Gull's heart, and then twisted the handle back and forth several times.

"Goodbye...... In addition, I don't know what you said before, and I have almost no news about Luo Yao in my hands. ”

He withdrew the dagger, and then slammed his fist into the ground beside him, and with a bang, the ground was smashed into a large crater by his punch. After three punches in succession, he looked at the pit that was almost big enough, and then put Lu Ou's body in it and buried it with soil: "Let's go into the soil for peace...... The only thing I can do is this. ”
