Chapter 50: The Relic in the Painting

Zheng Cangqiong, Lian Jiuqi, Chen Taidong, Mo Duqiao, Torlie, Ma Fei, Angu and himself. He kept repeating these names in his head, fearing that they would disappear in the events that followed, and even the idea that "if the tribal leader could let us leave, I would immediately return to China with everyone and never look for any strange men again".

But that's just not going to happen.

"Now I have a few questions that I have to get to the bottom of." Leaning on the side, the torture technique looked at the people in front of him, "First, who is the boss behind the Cusco company, it must not be Tang Sirong, Tang Qianrou and Wan Qingquan, from the fact that they hired the mercenaries of Gulal this time, and found Ah Le and the reed flute, it can be seen that they don't believe in the boss behind the scenes, and it seems that they want to find Qimen first." The second question, the boss behind the scenes is so powerful, why didn't he send someone to stop Tang Qianrou and others? ”

After the torture was finished, he asked, "Everyone, do you have any opinions on these two issues?" If there is, just say it, if not, I will continue. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and just as the torture was about to continue, Mo Duqiao spoke: "The boss behind the Cusco Company is among the nine sons, which we can be sure of now, but we can't be sure, because the clues we analyzed are simply untenable from a certain point of view, and they can't support this boss is one of the nine sons, but on the other hand, only one of the nine sons has the ability and opportunity to create the Cusco Company, because the Cusco Company is only able to grow by relying on the strength of the Nine Sons, And none of the nine sons are willing to become puppets in the hands of others, everyone agrees? ”

Everyone nodded, and Mo Duqiao said again: "So, let's first assume that the boss behind the scenes is one of the nine sons, and now let's use the elimination method first, first exclude Tang Sirong and Wan Qingquan, what they did is contrary to the behavior of the boss behind the scenes, it can also be said that they are being used by the boss behind the scenes, and they must know the identity of the boss behind the scenes." Then there are still seven of the nine sons left, among these seven people, the blue-bellied Ma Guiyuan, Foshan Que Ye Suxin, the Kaishan leopard Cai Nayun, and the copper Great Wall Wu Zi'an are all dead, plus Tang Sirong and Wan Qingquan, 6 people can be excluded at once, and only 3 are left. ”

Ma Fei said: "If you exclude Old Man Zheng and Uncle Chen, it is obviously Youzhou Wang Qian Xiuye." ”

"No!" Chen Taidong immediately said, "We can't be ruled out, we are also suspicious." ”

As soon as Chen Taidong's words came out, Zheng Cangqiong immediately nodded and said: "That's right, I and Taidong are also suspicious, and the suspicion is very big, first of all, I haven't left the mental hospital for many years, and Taidong has been in prison, but this doesn't mean anything, from a certain point of view, he and I are completely free, and we can control everything outside in the mental hospital and prison." ”

"And ......" The torture technique hesitated for a moment, then thought about it carefully before saying, "Judging from Wan Qingquan's fake death, those who died may still be alive, this is just a trick they used, maybe the boss behind the scenes is hidden among those who are dead." ”

Ma Fei sighed: "Isn't this back to square one?" ”

Mo Duqiao stared at the ground: "We can also speculate on the other hand, maybe the boss behind the scenes is someone who is directly related to Jiuzi, or a relative or apprentice of Jiuzi, such as Tang Sirong's daughter Tang Qianrou, or Brother Zheng's apprentice Lian Jiuqi, or someone who has other intimate relationships with them." ”

Lian Jiuqi nodded: "That's right, from the overall situation, I am also a suspicious person." ”

Ma Fei was very distressed: "In this way, won't the originally reduced scope be expanded?" This is simply impossible to deduce and analyze. ”

Mo Duqiao looked at Ma Fei and said, "Including you, you are all suspicious, and me, any possibility exists." ”

Torture nodded: "I agree with Twilight Bridge's statement, I can't rule out any possibility. ”

Ma Fei said: "In this way, except for the torture technique and Brother Torree, everyone else here is suspicious. ”

Zheng Cangqiong nodded: "Yes." ”

Torret couldn't interject at all, so he sat on one side and listened quietly.

Xingshu said: "Okay, I'll continue to talk about other key doubts, the third key doubt, after that Angu arrived in China, who accepted him and taught him so much knowledge, this person I guess is also a person in our industry, the worst situation is that maybe it has something to do with the boss behind the scenes, maybe it has something to do with Jiuzi, of course, I don't believe that Angu met that person is a coincidence, but I don't understand, if it's not a coincidence, how did this person know that Angu would leave the Golden Eagle Tribe?" ”

After listening to this, Mo Duqiao said: "We don't have the slightest clue about this question, so let's move on to the next question." ”

Xingshu nodded, and said: "The next question is, whether the clues left by Xing Renju really point to Four Seasons Mountain, I always feel that there is a problem, it's too far away, if it really points to Four Seasons Mountain, then Xing Renju must have been to Four Seasons Mountain, right?" At that time, it took half a year to walk from China to the Four Seasons Mountain, to say the least? Add in the time to go back and forth, prepare things, accidents encountered on the way, and time spent in the mountains, all add up to a year, that is to say, in Xing Renju's career, he has been in at least one year The world has evaporated, but according to our existing information and understanding of Xing Renju, Xing Renju was a policeman in his early years, in a place called Xiaocheng, and he was not called that name at that time, and he later became a cargo chaser, completely because of a treasure called Xiaojin, in other words, that is, Qimen, there is a big contradiction here. ”

Zheng Cangqiong said: "That's right, Xing Renju found out that Xiaojin was near Xiaocheng, in other words, Qimen should also be near Xiaocheng, but as for the specific location of this Xiaocheng, I didn't find out, even if I found some clues, it was completely different from what Xing Renju told his apprentice Tian Xing'an later." ”

"So, there are only two possibilities at the moment, one is that Qimen is not in Four Seasons Mountain at all, Tang Qianrou and they got the clue left by Xing Renju wrong, they were confused, and they found the wrong direction." The torture technique was too anxious and began to cough, Ma Fei immediately brought him water, and after he finished drinking, he eased down for a while, and said, "Second, what is hidden in the Four Seasons Mountain is indeed Qimen, and it is not the next clue hidden by Xing Renju. ”

"Well, that's right." Mo Duqiao nodded vigorously, "But it's also nonsense......"

Xingshu couldn't help but smile: "Yes, it's nonsense, but it's also a fact, if we want to continue, we must first go to the Golden Eagle Tribe to find the lost holy relics of the Ural Khan tribe, and then come back to prepare to go to the Four Seasons Mountain, the only bargaining chip we have now is Angu." ”

Torri looked at the torture technique and thought for a moment, "There is something I have to tell you, which is also good news, but only after you find the holy relics. ”

Everyone looked at Torre, who glanced at the curtain of the tent and said, "If we can really bring back the holy relics, then I will be very sure that I will lend the wolf shepherd from my father." ”

Everyone was shocked, and Lian Jiuqi hurriedly asked, "And the wolf herd?" ”

"Yes!" Torrei nodded affirmatively, "The people who specialize in raising wolf herders are the people of the wolf heads, but wolf herders have their own territory and nests, and they are not here in the camp. ”

Zheng Cangqiong asked, "Where is it?" ”

Torrei said: "Near Lake Dada, the specific location is only known to the people of the wolf head. ”

The torturer also asked, "If the relics are recovered, will your father really be willing to lend us?" ”

Torrei nodded: "Of course, the holy relics are more important to the tribe than anything else, even more important than the lives of everyone here. ”

The torture technique asked again: "Since this is the case, why was it taken away by the people of the Golden Eagle Tribe in the first place, and why didn't you take it back?" ”

Torri explained: "There are three reasons, first, the Golden Eagle tribe is easy to defend and difficult to attack, second, the number of wolf herds who are best at fighting the Golden Eagle has decreased, and third, the number of tribal warriors is not as good as the other party. ”

After Torrei finished speaking, everyone fell silent again, from Torree's words, everyone knew even more that it was almost impossible to rely on them to go to the Golden Eagle Tribe to retrieve the holy relics, even so many people from the Ural Khan tribe, such a strong combat power could not recapture the holy relics, let alone them?

The three difficulties mentioned by Torreux also happened to be the three biggest problems they were facing in order to reclaim the relics.

After a long time, the torture technique asked again: "Brother Torlie, what is that holy relic?" What does it represent? What does it look like? What age? What texture? And what does it do? ”

After pondering for a long time, Torret asked, "I'll ask you one last time, are you willing to go to the Golden Eagle Tribe to retrieve the holy relics?" Or do you choose to go into a snowstorm? ”

Xingshu glanced around at everyone, everyone nodded one by one, and then Xingshu said: "Everyone agrees to go to the Golden Eagle Tribe to retrieve the holy relics." ”

"Okay." Torret stood up, "Please choose two representatives to come with me to my father." ”

When everyone hadn't elected yet, Zheng Cangqiong said, "Let's go for the torture." ”

After Zheng Cangqiong finished speaking, Chen Taidong glanced at Lian Jiuqi: "Jiuqi also goes, you two are qualified to represent everyone." ”

Of course, Lian Jiuqi understood in his heart why these two elders chose themselves and Xingshu, it was nothing more than to find various opportunities to make their father and son have a harmonious relationship, even if Xingshu didn't know that Lian Jiuqi was his biological father now.

No one wants to tell this truth, because this matter is not a surprise for the criminal arts, but a kind of injury, a fatal injury, and the criminal arts will blame Zheng Cangqiong and Chen Taidong for this, blame his biological father Lian Jiuqi, and blame all the people who deceived him, so everyone can only hope that the father-son relationship between the criminal art and Lian Jiuqi will reappear in the long-term contact because the blood is thicker than water, so that the criminal art can feel and discover by itself.

However, people who are familiar with the art of punishment, especially Ma Fei, are very worried that the art of punishment will not be discovered at all, and it may even eventually evolve into him and Lian Jiuqi being brothers, after all, Ma Fei found from the feelings of the two women of She Caixiang and He Chenxue that this extremely smart man who can almost be called a genius is almost a blank sheet of paper in front of his feelings, and he will be knocked down on the same stone countless times.

In short, criminal art is a weirdo with a high IQ, a strong leadership in emotional intelligence, and a negative number in personal emotional control.

Perhaps, this is directly related to the fact that he has lived in a psychiatric hospital since he was a child.

Fifteen minutes later, Torrei walked into the chief's tent with Lian Jiuqi and Torture Shu, and introduced his father, Ural Khan. LU Erlie. Abate gave them an acquaintance.

Lu Erlie was not as impersonal and unreasonable as they imagined, but asked someone to move out of Maza, let Lian Jiuqi and Torture Shu sit down, and also asked someone to bring mutton and mare's milk, but he let Torlie stand behind the two, because he was not qualified to sit down, and if it were not for the relationship of being a translator, I am afraid he would not be able to stay in this big tent.

After Torree explained the torture technique to his father and they agreed to go to the Golden Eagle Tribe, Luerlie was not surprised, but instead had a slight smile on his face and asked, "How sure are you?" ”

After Torree translated, he glanced at Lian Jiuqi, and even Jiuqi said bluntly: "I'm not sure." ”

Torlie was stunned, and Lian Jiuqi said in a low voice: "Tell your father truthfully." ”

After hearing this, Lu Erlie was slightly stunned and asked, "Since you are not sure, why do you still want to go?" ”

Lian Jiuqi said: "We are not sure, because we don't know anything about the Golden Eagle Tribe, the holy relics, and everything we are about to face, although we have experienced a snowstorm and know what a snowstorm is, but we will definitely die if we return to the snowstorm, so we can only choose to go to the Golden Eagle Tribe." ”

After listening to Torret's translation, Lurlie asked, "Will you run?" Will you run away while you're going to the Golden Eagle Tribe? ”

Lian Jiuqi said: "To be honest, normal people will choose to run at this time, and we are the same, but our ultimate goal is to borrow the wolf herd from you to go to Four Seasons Mountain, so we won't run, we will die horizontally and vertically, so it is better to die with dignity." ”

Lu Erlie admired Lian Jiuqi's words: "Very good! I can provide you with the necessary equipment, but I still can't trust you completely, so you must leave hostages, at least three, so that I can guarantee that you will not escape. ”

Xingshu glanced at Lian Jiuqi, Lian Jiuqi asked him to make a decision, and Xingshu said: "I, Mr. Lian, Moduqiao and that dwarf will go to the Golden Eagle Tribe together, and the others will stay." ”

Hearing this, Torrei hurriedly said, "I must go too!" ”

Xingshu shook his head: "No, you have to stay and take care of the others, my injuries can almost recover after two more days, but my master and Uncle Chen are both old and can't stand the toss, besides, we will go to Four Seasons Mountain after we come back." ”

Torret pondered for a while, and then translated the original words to his father, Luerlie.

After hearing this, Lu Erlie's brows furrowed, and he looked at the torture technique with completely distrustful eyes: "Four people? Are you talking big, how can the four of you be able to deal with so many people from the Golden Eagle Tribe? ”

Lian Jiuqi said: "Don't say four people, even if all of us go, plus the warriors of the Ural Khan tribe, we may not be the opponents of the Golden Eagle tribe, this point, you must also know this, so, is there any difference between four people and eight people, or hundreds of people?" We don't go to forcible it, we outsmart it. ”

After listening, Lu Erlie said: "Outwitted? How to outwit? ”

Lian Jiuqi replied: "We don't know the situation of the Golden Eagle Tribe yet, we can only adapt to the situation when the time comes, in short, we can only find a way to infiltrate the Golden Eagle Tribe, instead of riding a horse and waving a knife to rush in." ”

Lu Erlie didn't speak after listening, he just raised his cup, and even Jiuqi and Torture also raised his glass, Lu Erlie just nodded slightly, and then drank the mare's milk wine in the cup......

After leaving the big tent, Torlie took the torture technique and Lian Jiuqi to the temporary horse farm on the periphery, pointed to the dozens of strong horses that were resting there and said: "When the time comes, I will choose five horses for you, one of which is used to carry things, in addition, my father also said, you can choose any weapons in the tribe." ”

Lian Jiuqi stared at the horses and said, "Is there a crossbow?" I'm afraid we won't be able to use the longbow, and the short knife and dagger also need to be handled by everyone, but the long knife is not easy to carry, after all, we are not going to fight the Golden Eagle Tribe head-on. ”

After Lian Jiuqi finished speaking, the torture technique asked again: "Brother Torlie, what is that holy relic?" ”

"An iron knife." "Come with me," Torri recalled, "in our tribe there is a painting of that knife, and no one in the Ural Khan tribe today has really seen that knife, only that painting. ”

Torret took Lian Jiuqi and Torture to another tent full of wolf-headed warriors, and after a few words of conversation with the leader, the man opened the curtain and let them in.

When Lian Jiuqi and Torture followed Torri into the tent, they looked up and saw a cowhide painting hanging on the huge easel in the middle, but the two were not attracted by the painting, but saw the black and shiny easel at a glance.

"Millennial ebony?" Lian Jiuqi blurted out, "No wonder I smelled that aroma when I stood at the mouth of the tent." ”

Torture walked up to the easel, sniffed it, stroked it lightly with his hand, and then approached the easel with the back of his hand, sliding it from top to bottom, and then said, "It is indeed a thousand-year-old ebony wood." ”

Torrei asked puzzledly, "What is a thousand-year-old ebony wood?" ”

After Lian Jiuqi gave Torlie a brief explanation, Torri also said suspiciously: "Actually, I thought it was very strange when I was a child, because this kind of thing is only one thing in the tribe, and it is obviously a foreign thing, and I have never understood why the ancestor wants to stay, which is contrary to the rules set by the tribe." ”

Lian Jiuqi took out his gloves and put them on, looked at the painting, stared at the long knife in the painting, and a series of strange words next to the long knife: "This is...... Khitan? ”

Torture looked at it: "It should be." ”

Torrei looked closer: "I don't understand the text on it, but my father said that the name of this knife is written on it, and in Chinese, it is 'Feng Ying Knife'." ”

Torture looked at Torre, "What do you mean?" ”

Torrei shook his head: "I don't know. ”

After Lian Jiuqi looked at it carefully for a while, he affirmed: "This should be an official knife used by the Northern Ya Forbidden Army in the early years of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, and it is commonly known as 'Hundred Riding Blades'." ”

Torrey asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Lian Jiuqi pointed to the knife on the painting: "The blade is slightly wider than the usual Tang knife, and the length is also slightly longer, but it does not reach the length of the instrument knife, the handle is longer, and the tail of the handle is with a beast head ring buckle. ”

The torture technique kept staring at the painting, and it took a long time before he said: "The official sword of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan Wen, the cast iron immortal, Yelubei, and the Qimen, what if you link these together?" ”

Lian Jiuqi nodded: "If it is connected and make a bold guess, maybe the Ural Khan tribe and the Golden Eagle tribe have some kind of special connection with the Cast Iron Immortal, otherwise this painting would not have appeared here for no reason, and it has been collected by the tribe for hundreds of years!" ”
