"Answer my question."

In a short sentence, there is no such tone as task pressing. Hong Qing's face was also very calm, without any expression.

But it is precisely because of this that the heart of the messenger is filled with fear.

She could never see through Hong Qing and didn't know how to answer.

If you admit it, you are undoubtedly telling Hong Qing that he lied to him, and he also killed Bai Slash and Silver Fox, and ran away and became a deserter.

If Hong Qing knew the truth, it would not be as simple as punishing her.

But if she didn't admit it, if Hong Qing guessed it at all, wouldn't she be equivalent to deceiving Hong Qing twice. When the time comes, death will be a relief for her, and Hong Qing's methods of torturing people are comparable to the ten major tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

To admit or not to admit? For a while, the heart envoy was a little undecided, but silence meant acquiescence.

"I'm sorry Boss Hong, I became a deserter. At that time, Bai Slash and Silver Fox were originally facing Yi Feng, and I wanted to help them, but I was intercepted by the people of the Fifth Army. ”

"They tried to capture me alive, and I was desperate and chased to the docks."

"Fortunately, at the last moment, I used my special ability to escape."

"I know I shouldn't be a deserter, it's a shame, but I want to live. I don't want to sacrifice myself when I know it's death, I still want to keep my life, continue to serve you, and repay you for taking in. ”

The reaction of the heart envoy was not unpleasant, and combined with the situation at the time, he temporarily made up another statement to deceive Hong Qing.

When Hong Qing heard this, the expression on his face still did not change. He just looked at the heart envoy like this, and didn't say a word, and the heart made his back hairy.

This feeling is like being stared at by a ghost at night, and the heart doesn't dare to breathe.

"It's not shameful to desert, you have to run back when you know you're dead, that's what soldiers do, we are not so great."

After a long time, Hong Qing finally spoke.

He continued:

"You know what I'm most worried about, selling my teammates for the sake of my life. This is an absolute taboo in our Hongmen, and it is also a rule set by the leader. Do you know that those who do anything unscrupulous to their fellow disciples will have their limbs cut off and hung at the gate of the headquarters and be spurned by others? ”

The heart made her scalp tingle with fright, her legs and stomach trembled, and she hurriedly said:

"The envoy knows, so the envoy never dares to schem against his peers, let alone violate the rules of the leader."

"This mission failed, and I became a deserter again, and I was willing to be punished, without saying a word."

Hong Qing nodded:

"It's best if you don't harm your fellow disciples."

"As for the punishment, forget it, you can rest with me for a while. I will go and tell the leader about the mission, he will sell me some face, and he will not do anything to you. ”

"The information about Yi Feng is not accurate, we will send you to Huaxia, speaking of which, we are also somewhat responsible."

When the heart envoy heard this, he was immediately pleasantly surprised, as if he had been granted amnesty.

She never thought that Hong Qing would not care about the failure of the mission with her.

It seems that it is also her name of the first generation that saved her life. Hong Qing knew her ability, so he did a favor. In this way, she will be grateful and will be more faithful.

"Boss Hong, I will remember your great kindness to the heart envoy, and it will be unforgettable."

The heart envoy clasped her hands into fists and said gratefully, two tears sliding down her cheeks.

"Okay, you're tired too, although the mission failed, but you have no credit and hard work. Go down and rest and recuperate. ”

Hong Qing nodded, said, and called the housekeeper of the villa over.

The housekeeper was an ordinary person, a middle-aged man about forty years old, black.

For Hong Qing, he didn't need any bodyguards or kung fu servants at all. To some extent, there are very few people in the world who can kill him.

"Take Miss Heart's Messenger to another villa, doctors, nannies, and nurses are all sent, and in the shortest possible time, let Miss Heart's Angel heal her injuries."

Hong Qing said to the housekeeper.

"Yes, sir!" The butler said.

Before the heart envoy followed the housekeeper to leave, Hong Qing added:

"Heart envoy, if you fail this mission, you have to give an explanation."

"Your position as the number one in Tianzi, just give it to Li Juan, in the future, in the Tianzi generation, except for me, Li Juan will be your boss."

When the heart envoy heard this, he frowned slightly, a little frustrated and lost.

She nodded:

"The heart makes it clear."

After the butler led her out of the villa, the little girl came out of the room again.

"Grandpa, don't you kill her, she violated the rules set by the chief."

The little girl walked over to the sofa and sat down, suddenly asking.

Hong Qing smiled, looked at the little girl and said:

"Ziyi, you can see that she is lying."

The innocent look of the little girl had disappeared, and her face showed a maturity and sophistication that did not match her age.

She said:

"That sister made up the rhetoric perfectly, like a perfect story that she had perfected many times and deduced countless times."

In such a critical situation, how could she remember so many things clearly, including some small details, she said them. Something too perfect, in itself is unreal, isn't that what you told me? ”

When Hong Qing heard this, the majesty suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a smile of appreciation and kindness:

"It's amazing, what grandpa teaches you casually, you can actually understand it."

"It's really worthy of being my Hongqing's descendant, Ziyi, you surprised grandpa too much."

The little girl smiled faintly, revealing the calmness and humility of an adult:

"That's grandpa taught well."

Hong Qing laughed and said:

"You're so sweet with that little mouth."

"Yes, she was lying. In Hongmen, although the heart envoy is just a killer, her scheming is beyond the reach of many people. ”

"Ten hundred slashes and silver foxes, none of them can play a single mind. These two people are probably used as cannon fodder by the heart envoy. ”

The little girl asked, "Then why don't you punish her, it's not a good thing for this kind of person to be unruly." ”

When Hong Qing heard this, he put away his smile and said solemnly:

"Ziyi, you are still too young, although you are smart, there are some things you still can't understand."

"This is the way of employing people, ten hundred slashes and ten silver foxes, none of which can compare to a heart messenger. But a hundred beheading a silver fox is difficult to find, and if you say a heart envoy, wouldn't it be even more difficult to find. ”

"A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find, that's the truth."

The little girl said again: "But such a person is also difficult to control, isn't it?" Such a person's heart is as deep as a lake, and she doesn't know how ambitious she is. It was inevitable that one day she would be bitten back, and even let her step on her feet. ”

Hong Qing looked at the little girl in disbelief, only feeling that he still underestimated her too much.

"Ziyi, you're right, but you still don't understand what I mean." Hong Qing said: "Let me ask you a question first, what do you think, what are rivers and lakes, and what are rivers and lakes?" ”

The little girl replied: "It is the weak who eat the strong, the strong are respected, and the capable are superior." ”

The corners of Hong Qing's mouth grinned, and he smiled faintly:

"You're right, and you're not entirely right."

"The law of the jungle is an eternal truth, but it is not the essence of the rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes are not fighting, killing and killing, their essence is to abuse me and deceive, and people are sophisticated. ”

"Those who are brave and unscrupulous can be appreciated and can occupy a high position. But you can never stand in the highest position below one person and above ten thousand people. ”

"Li Juan in the Tianzi generation, his skills are very powerful. If he wants to fight to the death with the heart, there is a 70% chance that he can stab the heart. But he will never have this seventy percent chance, because the heart envoy can use that thirty percent opportunity to turn it into infinite possibilities, and even without using his own hands, he can make Li sentenced to death without knowing how to die. ”

"Some people only use their brains to kill people, and the heart envoy is such a person."

The little girl was thoughtful, as if she was digesting Hong Qing's words.

"You remember, those who are brave and unscrupulous can stand on high places, but they can never stand at the top of the food chain."

"A man who is scheming but not brave can also stand on a high place, but he may die by an accident, at the hands of a small soldier."

"The only one who can stand at the top and survive to the end is the brave and more resourceful person."

"Got it?"

Hong Qing said again.

When the little girl heard this, she nodded:

"Ziyi understood."

Then she asked:

"Grandpa, what kind of person are you?"

Hong Qing looked at the endless sea outside the floor-to-ceiling window, smiled, and did not answer.
