Chapter 9: Heroes Out of Boyhood (3)
Turing replied: "Before Uncle Meng bought the two mining masters of the Luyan family, they only pointed out a few smaller iron and stone mines, and these iron mines are a drop in the bucket for our Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau. Most of these people have evil intentions, and most of them are trying to make money, and it is impossible for them to really find mines for us. It is unlikely that he will be the most important person in the two roadshow companies. ”
Meng Xin touched his nose. In order to solve the problem of lack of iron and stone, he secretly bought many mining masters of the Luyan family. However, with little success, these people are either incapable or have evil intentions, and only want to maneuver between the two sides to obtain greater benefits.
Meng Xin didn't understand what Turing's last sentence meant, "The most important person?" ”
Turing nodded with great certainty: "There are a few people on the Lu family who have private dealings with us, iron ore is their lifeblood, and it is understandable that they don't give us their own lifeblood, but I found that the people of the Lu family are mentioning a person intentionally or unintentionally in their words." Turing knew that his words had successfully attracted Zhao Xiu's attention, and deliberately stopped, waiting for Zhao Xiu's questioning.
From the moment Turing entered the door today, Zhao Xiu had already noticed that he was different from usual. In Zhao Xiu's impression, Turing is an eccentric, neat and measured teenager. But today, as soon as he entered the door, there was a very uncomfortable aura on his body, which was a nervous aura that he tried his best to suppress.
This high level of tension made Meng Xin and Zhao Xiu aware of it instantly, even though Turing thought he was hiding it well.
Zhao Xiu didn't like to be led by the nose, he looked at Turing with a smile and didn't say a word.
Turing noticed that he was trembling, but he couldn't control himself.
"It occurred to me that how did you know so much detail? You wielded the power of the Guardians? Zhao Xiu asked Turing.
Demon Protector is Zhao Xiu's core strength, and it is also Zhao Xiu's taboo. In the Demon Guard, only the twelve demon kings of the earth branch have the right to deploy people and horses, although Turing's dead father is the demon king in the demon guard, but Turing himself is not a person in the twelve demons of the earth branch, and he has no right to command the demon guard.
Meng Xin also sweated for Turing, who was only twelve years old, but this incident was enough to make Turing be driven out of the Demon Guardian system forever, and even let him leave Liaozhou and send him to an overseas island.
Things can be big or small. The twelve demons of the earthly branch have twelve demon kings, including Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai, but a few years ago, the demon king was killed, leaving this son. Zhao Xiu and the twelve demons of the earth branch all regard Turing as their own son. In addition, Turing himself wanted to avenge his father, so everyone brought him into the Demon Protector.
However, Zhao Xiu set up a rule at the beginning of the establishment of the Demon Guard, except for the twelve demons of the earth branch, the Demon Guardian couldn't help but obey anyone's orders. Obviously, the Demon Guardian is not monolithic, because of Turing's father and the demon, the old subordinates of the former demon are willing to obey Turing's command.
An intelligence agency that does not allow anyone to know must not allow such a situation to occur. For intelligence agencies, sooner or later, such a vulnerability will become a fatal weakness.
Turing never saw himself as a twelve-year-old child, he always regarded himself as a member of the Demon Guards, and all the Demon Guards fulfilled the same purpose, unconditionally obeying the orders of Zhao Xiu, the Lord of All Demons.
Turing did not regret his unauthorized actions, on the one hand, he believed that he should do things quickly and accurately to achieve his goals as quickly as possible. On the other hand, he also needs a chance to show his talents, and due to his age, Zhao Xiu did not entrust Turing with important tasks. The young man was impetuous, and he couldn't wait any longer.
"I, I privately mobilized the people of the Winged Fire Serpent Banner, and I know that I have committed a great crime, and I ask the prince to surrender!" Turing fell to his knees with a limp, then fell to the ground with his hands and slammed his head on the ground.
Meng Xin chuckled in his heart as Turing knelt down, as if he had been cut with a knife. looked at Zhao Xiu, but what he saw was still Zhao Xiu's smiling face as always. I don't know what's hidden under that smiling face.
Turing felt that he had been kneeling for a long time, but it was only a moment. Zhao Xiu didn't say a word, he squinted his eyes as if he was thinking about something.
There are twenty-four banners under the Demon Guardian, and the people of each banner are led by each banner master and twelve demon kings. Turing's Winged Fire Snake Banner was led by his father a few years ago, and the Winged Fire Snake Flag can make such a big mistake because of the old feelings. Zhao Xiu always felt like he was being forced to go by others.
Turing didn't dare to look at Zhao Xiu, lowered his head and said: "I suspect that the Lu family must have an important person in the iron and stone business, so I privately assigned the brothers in the Fire Snake Banner of the Left Guard Army to secretly investigate, and sure enough, I found a person surnamed Pei." After saying that, Turing closed his eyes, and his whole body trembled unconsciously.
The room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly, and Meng Xin was also anxious, "Lord Wang, little Turing, he ......"
Zhao Xiu raised his hand and interrupted Meng Xin's words. His eyes were fixed on Turing's immature body, rubbing his nose with his hand from time to time. No one could have imagined that Zhao Xiu was even more tormented than Turing's heart at the moment, "At the age of twelve, he was pushed to a dead end at the age of twelve, how could I be worthy of her?" What am I going to do? ”
Turing's clothes behind him were already soaked, and his mouth kept exhaling ~ inhaling ~ exhaling ~ inhaling ~. At this moment, he regretted it a little. Again and again, all that appeared in my mind was a tall figure dressed in a black silk cloak, with stubble on his face, and a smile on his face. But suddenly one day, this tall body collapsed, leaving only the body with a lost head.
A mutilated body. As soon as Turing closed his eyes, he dreamed of stabbing his enemy, but he still didn't even know who was sad. Becoming the Twelve Demons of the Earthly Branch is the key to his revenge.
Zhao Xiu looked at Turing with a smile, his legs kept shaking, and his long robe covered the torment in his heart at the moment.
Turing finally waited for Zhao Xiu's fate, "Everyone in the twelve demon kings of the earth branch must have the ability to do justice without hesitation and the determination to die at any time, you, do you?" ”
Turing raised his head suddenly, looked up at Zhao Xiu, and said decisively: "Since I joined the Demon Guard, every time I opened my eyes, I didn't think that I would live past today, everyone would die, but I would definitely die in my own hands." ”
Zhao Xiu's face was already unnatural, and Turing's words made Zhao Xiu even more stressed, and he felt that he was about to be driven crazy.
"Go and take your father's place, take over the Winged Fire Serpent Banner."
Turing's inner excitement was on his face, he never expected Zhao Xiu to let himself take his father's place, become the demon king, and become the youngest demon king. But he is confident that he can become the most talented demon king.
Zhao Xiu saw Turing's confident and surprised expression, and there was no trace of joy in his heart. On the contrary, he was deeply worried, and his heart kept repeating these four words: "Right or wrong?" ……”
Zhao Xiu's face was serious, he would control the life of this twelve-year-old child from now on, and every decision he made would be related to Turing's life and death. "Turing, to take your father's place and become the demon king of the twelve demons of the earthly branch, you must go through the test."
"I know, I can do it well." Turing stood straight, like a warrior about to go on an expedition, his hands clenched into fists, hanging down at his waist, his eyes looking at Zhao Xiu firmly, waiting for his instructions.
Zhao Xiu took a deep breath and sent out the first task after Turing joined the Twelve Demons of the Earth Branch. "Five days! Within five days, he found an iron ore mine for the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau that could be mined for ten years. You can now move the Winged Serpent Banner at will. As long as you don't be suspected of becoming a king, you can do whatever it takes. If you can't do it in five days, go to the island yourself for the rest of your life. As for your father's revenge, I will avenge you. ”
Zhao Xiu regretted it, he would rather let Turing go to a desert island to spend the rest of his life than let him fall into this Shura battlefield.
"Five days?" Turing's heart was pressed against a boulder, and Meng Xin spent a whole year not finding an ironstone mine in Liaozhou. Five days?
"What? Can't solve this little thing? You are not like your father, who never hesitated. ”
"I can, five days, just five days." Turing's self-confidence is his greatest strength and his greatest weakness.
Zhao Xiu was very surprised by his self-confidence, looking at Turing's expression, it was obvious that he was at least fifty percent sure.
Meng Xin frowned even more, with a helpless expression. Thinking that the iron ore that he had not been able to find in the past year was promised by a twelve-year-old boy to find it within five days, he really didn't know what to say. Now he understands what Zhao Xiu means, and Zhao Xiu hopes that Turing will be an ordinary person and spend the rest of his life in peace and stability. This should be a good choice, but if Turing really has a chance to quit, I'm afraid it's too late.
Meng Xin knew that once Turing agreed, there was no turning back, and if he really couldn't find the iron ore, he would have to go to an overseas island to spend the rest of his life.
Zhao Xiu sat on the table and asked, "Tell me about your plan." ”
Turing pondered for a moment and said: "I found out that there is a mysterious person in the Lu family before, and his ability to find ore should be very strong, otherwise other mining masters of the Lu family would not be so exclusive to him, so that they deliberately revealed information to strangers." So I asked people to find this mysterious man, and I found him. ”
Meng Xin said: "It won't be the Lu family who will set you up." ”
Turing shook his head and said, "I can't be sure yet, but I can guarantee that even if this is a trick, I can verify this person unknowingly." ”
Zhao Xiu said: "You are gambling." ”
"But I have to bet, it's the only clue, the only chance. I have found the place where that person lives, which is closely guarded by the Lu family, whether it is a trap or not, this will be my last chance. Turing gritted his teeth, knowing he had to give it his all.
