However, what awaited Lu Ci was the heavy wheezing sound from the nostrils of the dead man, just like a thirsty man meeting a spring water as cool as a summer night breeze, and his throbbing lungs were greedily plundering every trace of fresh air at the moment, as if inhaling every trace of gas in his nose carried endless sweetness, relieving his mental pain.

"Now that you've had enough, it's time to speak." The corners of Lu Ci's mouth were full of weird smiles, and he circled around the man leisurely twice, and after he calmed down, he spoke again.

Although the answer Lu Ci got this time was not a wheezing, but a silent silence, the silence was irritating. He is still unwilling to open his mouth like this, maybe this is a common trait of people, if he doesn't die in the heart of the Yellow River, he always feels that there will be a miracle suddenly. In the middle of the torture, he had the intention of telling the whole story, but the laughter blocked his mouth, making it impossible for him to express his intention to compromise and beg for mercy. However, now that the punishment has passed, he instantly forgot the torture that was worse than death just now, and how could he regenerate the idea of wanting to confess just now.

His luck mentality is not worth mentioning to Ling Xiao at all, Ling Xiao has seen a lot of such people before. The reason why he directly asked Lu Ci to torture him without asking a word just now was just to let him taste this unique pain first, and to plant subconscious fear in his heart to facilitate the second confession. "Lu Ci, it's useless to beat him, use torture again." A contemptuous smile slipped past the corners of Ling Xiao's mouth, making it impossible to detect that the smile really existed. The first time it was used to sow the seeds of true fear in the dead man, while the second time it was only to intimidate, urging the seeds to take root and sprout. Ling Xiao expected that there was no need to torture him a second time, just to speak, and he would obediently open his hard mouth.

Sure enough, before the white-bearded goat could be brought in, just a "bleating" cry came into his ears and made his whole body tremble unconsciously, and the fear in his heart came to his heart again, the kind of torture that was better than not being alive, and dying and dying made him really not want to experience it again. The mouth that was difficult to pry open finally opened on its own: "I said, I said." "His body is close to collapse at the moment, he has not eaten water for a day or two, and being beaten by Lu Ci is still a trivial matter, the key is that he has been tossed like this, and it has become extremely difficult to speak.

Lu Ci's eyes lit up, and he excitedly threw the honey jar in his hand out at will, if it weren't for the dexterity of his subordinates, it would inevitably end up with this innocent honey jar shattered. "Say it quickly." Lu Ci's hand that threw away the honeypot rushed over and grabbed the man's front placket, with a stunned expression.

"It was Kong Bozhi who sent us." The dead man bit his teeth that were not completely beaten by Lu Ci, and although he hesitated, he still had the strength to say Kong Bozhi's name.

Lu Jingxing's originally indifferent face instantly became solemn after hearing Kong Bozhi's three words, not only him, but everyone present except Ling Xiao, everyone else had changed their faces. The fierce war and turmoil in the rivers and lakes more than ten years ago, although Lu Jingxing and others have not experienced it personally, they cannot deny its real existence. Kong Bozhi's ambition is the catastrophe of the rivers and lakes, and the famous gate faction was destroyed by him, which caused the vitality of the martial arts in the rivers and lakes to be greatly damaged. If it weren't for the fact that Shuinanqiang led the various forces in the rivers and lakes to fight against each other, I am afraid that the rivers and lakes would have fallen into the hands of Kong Bozhi alone. Since that war, some major sects have declined, while some small sects have taken the opportunity to rise, and it is precisely because of this that the pattern of rivers and lakes has changed for more than ten years before it has become the kind that Ling Xiao saw when he first came to the rivers and lakes. Now that Shui Nanqiang is dead, and Kong Bozhi has reappeared in the rivers and lakes again, a person who can fight a person with unfathomable martial arts like Kong Bozhi can fight a little better, not to mention that Lu Jingxing can't think of it, I'm afraid that other major sects can't think of such a person either. Seeing that the rivers and lakes will face a catastrophe again, no matter how calm people are, they can't sit still, more than ten years is enough for an ordinary person to practice martial arts, and no one knows how much Kong Bozhi's martial arts have improved over the years.

"Kong Bozhi?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but repeat these three words, she felt as if she had heard them somewhere, but she couldn't remember them for a while. Just because she forgot that she had talked about Kong Bozhi with Jiang Tingxue at the beginning, the first time she heard the name Kong Bozhi was when she was in Qiantang, she heard it when she was listening to books in the restaurant with Jiang Tingxue that day, and she only learned from the storyteller that some things that shocked the rivers and lakes between him and Shuinanqiang, and these things related to Shuinanqiang, Ling Xiao was interested when she heard it, but after listening to it, she didn't pay much attention to it, and forgot it over time. In Ling Xiao's place, Shuinanqiang's heroic deeds are not worth mentioning at all compared with his despicable acts of revenge and treachery, such a person who forgets his righteousness is not worthy of Ling Xiao's respect, and he is still the indirect reason for the destruction of Zhong Li's mother's family, Ling Xiao thinks from Zhong Li's point of view, he is even more scornful, his suicide is completely self-inflicted, what kind of cause to plant, what kind of effect. At this moment, Ling Xiao saw Lu Ci and they all had surprised expressions on their faces, and gradually realized that Kong Bozhi was by no means an ordinary person in the rivers and lakes.

Lu Jingxing's face gradually regained his calmness, and he replied to Ling Xiao: "This person is the person who set off the bloody storm in the rivers and lakes more than ten years ago, I never thought that a person who disappeared in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years would almost make people think that a dead person would reappear in the rivers and lakes. This time is not to be underestimated. Lu Jingxing was full of worry at the moment, but what he didn't know was that the person who made them change color was seriously injured by a simple slap in case of Qi, and now he is in retreat to heal, and the skills he has accumulated for more than ten years have returned to ten years ago in one palm. This is purely the general intention of Kong Bozhi, who did not grasp the truth of the sentence "There is a heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the man".

"In that case, our attack must have been done by Kong Bozhi." Jiang Tingxue easily linked the two things together.

Lu Jingxing bowed: "It's not just us, but also the sects that have been destroyed one after another in the rivers and lakes for more than a year. It seems that he wants to start with the small sect first, and then subdue it in one fell swoop when the big sect is isolated. Judging from the current situation, Kong Bozhi's movements are not difficult to guess at all, and it is for a shrewd person like Lu Jingxing.

"So what do we do next?" Ling Xiao knew that the current situation was not optimistic, but the rivers and lakes were not in the business world, and Ling Xiao was deeply trapped in it, and he was only confused.

"Preemptive strike." Lu Jingxing raised his head and glanced at the slightly oblique sun, the sky was blue, which made the early summer sun even more dazzling, he lowered his head and squinted, and finally gave Ling Xiao's answer. He knows that for the sake of today's plan, only by taking the initiative may have a chance of winning.

Lu Ci didn't let go of the hand that grabbed the dead man's clothes, and asked again: "Say, where is Kong Bozhi now?" ”

The dead man's eyes were pierced by the sun, and after laughing and soaking for so long, his lips, which had become pale and crusted due to lack of water, were now cracked, and his throat felt like a fire burning. He slowly opened his cracked mouth, and let out a weak hoarse voice from his throat with difficulty: "The cliff master has been flying through the top of the cliff in Guilin County. Lu Ci finally let go of his front and let him slump on the bench, admiring the occasional sheep cry not far away.

"Guilin County? So after all, we were attacked and sent to the door ourselves? Jiang Tingxue thought of this, and laughed inexplicably, in the end, this became the fault of the four of them, and they hit other people's wolf dens without anything.

After Jiang Tingxue laughed, a trace of confusion appeared on his face, and he paused and said to himself: "I remember that the storyteller didn't say it like this, shouldn't his lair be in Shudi?" ”

"This is not simple, more than ten years ago, he was defeated by the joint defeat of various major factions, and in order to avoid pursuit, he even abandoned his lair." Lu Ci glanced at Jiang Xue and raised his eyebrows and said.

"Lu Ci, send someone to deliver letters to other sects, this matter can't be delayed any longer." Lu Jingxing knew that the sooner he let the other sects know, the safer it would be, first, he could strengthen his defense in advance, and second, he could discuss countermeasures together and take precautions. Now they have to face a common rival, even if there are some small grievances between the various factions, it is time to let go, those who can gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes are not stupid, this kind of truth about life and death is understood.

Lu Ci pointed to the dead man who had passed out and asked, "Mansion Master, what should he do?" "It's rare that Lu Ci still thinks about this worthless brother, who has important matters and the heart to personally inquire about this person's life and death.

Lu Jingxing glanced at Lu Ci lightly, he didn't know what Lu Ci was thinking about this day, just leave it to his subordinates, and he had to ask him. "Xiao Xiao, let's go." Lu Jingxing took Ling Xiao's hand and paced past Lu Ci, and only after entering the corridor did he faintly float out a sentence: "People are up to you." If you delay the delivery of the letter, you will bear the consequences. ”

"What should I do?" Lu Ci rubbed his chin with his hand, thinking of some fun way to deal with this person.

"It's not easy, heal his injuries and make you a slave, it's okay to have a laughing show like today, and you won't lose." Jiang Tingxue did not leave with Ling Xiao and them, broke a tender green branch from the tree, and was squatting under the small pine tree to tease the goat. Although the words were casual, the goat was so amused by her that he shook his head, and when he was angry, he let out a "bleating" cry in protest.

Lu Ci still had a contemplative expression, and shook his head at Jiang Tingxue's words: "This idea is not good, so I have to waste three bowls of rice every day, it's too much waste of food, don't calculate." Yes, I'm going to heal his wounds, and then let him be a beggar, this kid is quite suitable to be a beggar. Lu Ci's eyes lit up instantly, such a method is estimated to be only thought of by his unusual thinking, there is really no one. Even Jiang Tingxue, who was teasing the sheep, turned her head and sneered at him, and couldn't help but say mockingly: "Lu Ergongzi really had his head trampled on by the sheep, and the little woman admired it." ”

"Cut, come, you two carry him in carefully, and when the master finishes his business, you will be merciful to treat his injuries." It's rare that Lu Ci didn't push Jiang Tingxue's words back this time, but just raised his eyebrows arrogantly. However, there is really no one with a generous heart like him, and Kong Bozhi was shocked for a moment when he first heard the three words, and at this time he became casual and chic, and even this kind of trivial matter of healing injuries had to be done by himself.
