Chapter 44: Strength

"Your Highness the Seventh, are you here to laugh at me?"

Xu Xianyang looked at Xiao Rui, a little surprised, but his tone was neither angry nor sad, as if he had seen through life and death.

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "I'm not so bad at humiliating a criminal who has been punished by justice. ”

"Justice sanctions?" Xu Xianyang muttered, laughed at himself, and said casually: "Maybe..."

"Isn't it?" Xiao Rui asked.

Xu Xianyang didn't seem to want to argue, but asked, "What are the Seventh Highnesses doing when they come to me, a dying person?" ”

Xiao Rui directly explained his intention: "I'm very curious about the Night King, I wonder if Lord Xu can tell me something?" ”

"Huh?" Xu Xianyang raised his eyebrows, obviously he didn't expect this, it was beyond his expectations.

"Your Royal Highness, the words of a man who are dying are also good, the old man advises you, don't provoke anything or anyone that has anything to do with the Night King, even if you are Your Majesty's own son. And I'll tell you everything, you won't find any traces. Xu Xianyang admonished.

I don't want to!

Xiao Rui wailed in his heart, but he could only be stubborn: "If I insist on wanting to know, is Lord Xu willing to say it?"

Xu Xianyang immediately glared at Xiao Rui, his eyes were like eagle doves, even if he was imprisoned, it did not affect the majesty of Xu Xianyang's cultivation in a high position. Xiao Rui looked at him boldly, without a timid look.

This kind of scene must be stabilized! In his previous life, he was engaged in official careers, and it is not that he has never seen the feudal officials!

"Okay, since you took the initiative to provoke, I naturally have nothing to say." Xu Xianyang suddenly closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You caused my Xu family to be ruined, and you took the initiative to find trouble, why shouldn't I do it?" ”

Xiao Rui gave him a roll of the eyes, and the truth gave him a whip to let him know that he was self-inflicted.

"What do you want to know?" Xu Xianyang asked.

"Where's the Night King?" Xiao Rui directly asked the most critical question.

"Ahem..."Xu Xianyang didn't calm down for a moment before he was choked, and said angrily: "If the old man knew where he was, he would be able to make meritorious contributions, how could he be here?" ”

Xiao Rui replied with an embarrassed smile and asked, "So, do you really recruit rebels with the intention of rebelling?" ”

I could see that the corners of Xu Xianyang's eyes twitched, then nodded and said, "Recruited." ”

"I still can't understand, why did Lord Xu recruit rebels? There's no reason for that. Xiao Rui hesitated, but still asked the doubts in his heart.

Xu Xianyang sighed, looked at him left and right, and said: "Poor and good, help the world." ”

Xiao Rui scratched his head, he really wanted to smack him in the face, he was corrupt and perverted the law, and he also helped the world.

"Then did the traitor you recruit take refuge yourself, or did you recruit them through other channels? Do you solicit people and don't investigate the details? Xiao Rui asked.

Xu Xianyang said: "You want to find the Night King through the traitors, why don't you just ask those traitors?" ”

"My father can't be interrogated, can I interrogate? What's more, I heard that the traitors committed suicide by biting the poison in their teeth, and they didn't even have a chance to be interrogated. Xiao Rui said helplessly.

Xu Xianyang asked rhetorically: "Then do you know that if you asked me, Dongchang asked more carefully, not only interrogated me, but also the people in my house did not let go." And I told the truth that the East Factory had not found the slightest trace of the Night King's whereabouts. So if you ask me again, it's still useless. ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "I naturally know that Dongchang will strictly interrogate you and let you spit out everything you know." I also know that it would be too much for me to ask again, but I feel that human beings will eventually hide some things in their hearts. Lord Xu will say what he knows, but what about your speculation? Not necessarily speaking... I can't believe you haven't investigated your doorman! They can kill the Wang family for you, they must be confidants. You must be hiding a little secret, and you didn't even tell Dongchang. Right? ”

Xu Xianyang was silent.

Xiao Rui worked harder and asked, "Let's make a deal, how about it?" You tell me your little secret, I grant you a request, is it fair? Although your son is dead, he still has a daughter and a wife, and he is exiled for 3,000 miles, and it is not easy for women, children, old and young. ”

This sentence touched Xu Xianyang, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I really don't know the origin of such a traitor. But you're right, these customers are indeed my henchmen. In the past few days of staying here, I have also thought about the origin of the traitors, and indeed, I have found a strange commonality. ”

"What do you have in common?" Xiao Rui hurriedly asked.

Xu Xianyang said: "You need to ensure that my family can complete the exile safely and have a place to live at the border." ”

"No problem, I can still do this." Xiao Rui agreed.

Xu Xianyang said: "Okay, I believe in His Highness's promise. Then I'll tell you, my traitors all have one thing in common, they all seem to like to eat grilled chicken. ”

There were several question marks on Xiao Rui's forehead.

"Like grilled chicken? I love to eat too. Xiao Rui said that he was from Pengcheng in his previous life, not far from Ludong, and naturally liked the grilled chicken there.

Wait a minute? Lu Dong?

The Night King seems to be the envoy of the Ludong Festival!

Xu Xianyang continued: "Among the five traitors, the old man has almost seen them buy grilled chicken, which is originally a dietary problem, and there is nothing special about it. But these days, when I think about it, the more I think about it, the more I feel that there is a problem. If you really want to find out about the Night King's whereabouts, you can investigate it here. ”

It's not easy, I finally have a clue.

Xiao Rui almost burst into tears.

Who knows, Xu Xianyang suddenly stopped him when he was leaving, and said: "Xiao Rui, you are right, people like to hide little secrets in their hearts, but I am a dying person, so I don't expect to hide little secrets, but try my best to live." But, do you know why I didn't tell Dongchang about this common denominator? ”

"Why?" Xiao Rui asked subconsciously.

Xu Xianyang smiled incomprehensibly: "The capital is so big, although the old man is a second-class cabinet elder, but after all, he is from a humble background, and he is not the top family and gate valve in this huge capital. But why is my disciple a traitor? Aren't you curious about this? What about the other powerful people? What about the protΓ©gΓ©s they raise? Hello do it yourself. Ay... Therefore, when a man is about to die, his heart is also good! ”

Xiao Rui was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Back at the house, Xiao Rui told Jia Xu what Xu Xianyang said.

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about the sky, no matter how deep the water of the powerful people in the capital is, it is under the control of Emperor Xia after all." In the lower opinion, even if the Night King does not die, it is difficult to become a climate. ”

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Yes, it's me who is too worried." ”

"Then His Highness is still going to continue to search for the Night King?" Jia Xu asked curiously.

Xiao Rui nodded: "Find!" ”

Jia Xu frowned when he heard this, he couldn't guess Xiao Rui's intentions at all, he had read countless people, and this situation still rarely happened.

It is estimated that if he wants to break his head, he will not know that there is such a thing as a system.
