Chapter 82: The Man Behind the Scenes
The three masters of Haikou are spineless, and when they fall into the hands of Fang Yue, they almost don't have to force confessions, and they can answer whatever they ask.
"You mean, it is the East China Sea Sea Kou King and the Sea Dragon King who gathered so many of you East China Sea Bandits? So who is the Sea Dragon King? Fang Yue asked.
The sky was already dark, and someone around him lit torches to illuminate it, and under the firelight, the expression on Fang Yue's face was cloudy.
"I don't know who he is, but those who saw him are dead. I only heard that he was sitting on a painting boat, coming and going in the East China Sea, and he could set off a huge storm on the sea and overturn the sea ships he encountered, and everyone said that he was the dragon king on the bottom of the sea who came to play. ”
"Storm the seas?" Fang Yue frowned and looked at the three masters of Haikou who were pressed by everyone and knelt on the ground.
He wasn't sure if the guy was telling the truth or if he was alarmist.
But in such a ghost-infested world, this is not impossible.
"What are they calling you for? Just to concentrate the number of people to siege the city? ”
This is also what Fang Yue has always wondered, the sea robbers are reckless on the sea and come to attack the city, obviously the gains outweigh the losses.
The third master glanced up at Fang Yue and said cautiously: "It's not just robbery, it's also murder." Each group of pirates was allocated the amount of killing, and if there were not enough people to kill, they had to make up the number themselves.
I don't know, but the number we asked for was more than 4,000. So we don't want to, it's all forced by the East China Sea Sea Sea King and the Sea Dragon King, and we just want to make a fortune......"
The three masters were still chattering, but the people next to them gasped and scolded:
"There are only more than 6,000 people in our Fishhead Town, do you want to kill us all?"
"Damn the pirates, they're so mad, they should all be sent to hell."
Fang Yue's brows furrowed, and he continued to ask, "You have gathered so many people, do you want to attack other places besides our Ping'an County?"
The third master hurriedly shook his head and said: "Everyone has come to attack Ping'an County, and other prefectures and counties can't move."
The people on King Haikou's side said that if they attack Ping'an County, they will not encounter much resistance, and they will not have to worry about the army of the imperial court.
When everyone arrives at the place, let go of the robbery and kill, as long as the number of people is killed within three days. ”
Fang Yue's face changed and said, "What do you mean by this?" What do you mean by 'not worrying about the army of the imperial court'? ’”
Seeing that Fang Yue's face was wrong, the third master said carefully: "I don't know about this, probably saying that there is no need to worry about the interference of the imperial court in three days, right?"
Fang Yue's face was ugly, he originally thought that over there was the county seat, Hu Zhi County had already reported the news that Haikou was going to attack the city, and the above would send reinforcements.
But listening to the meaning of the words of the three masters, this reinforcement is likely to be absent.
If there were no reinforcements, just the hundreds of people in Ping'an County who were quick to arrest and send soldiers, plus about 1,000 militiamen, would not be able to stop tens of thousands of Haikou at all.
The most terrifying thing is that the people behind this can still influence the affairs of the imperial court.
If it is used to deceive the superiors and subordinates, it is fine, but if it is blatant, it will be terrible.
Fang Yue felt a great terror from it.
"Why kill so many people? Why Ping'an County? ”
Fang Yue asked the last question.
The third master couldn't answer, he really didn't know this.
"Dispose of the rest of the pirates." Fang Yue said with a tired expression.
Immediately, someone stepped forward to block the mouth of the three masters and dragged him away.
The three masters struggled desperately and wanted to ask for mercy.
But everyone was unmoved, the pirates had killed so many people, and everyone hated these pirates in their hearts, and no one would sympathize.
……
Inside, the candlelight is dim.
Fang Yue simply ate something, and after recovering his strength, he found a temporary place to live, entered the house, and avoided everyone.
Fang Yue——
Merit: 9516 points
Magical powers: deduction, illumination, and soul dementoring
Martial Arts: Enlightenment Fist (Double), Basic Knife Technique (Double), Fire Iron Body (Heavy)
Incidents such as killing criminals, saving people, and punishing ghosts made Fang Yue's merit points skyrocket in a short period of time, directly reaching nearly 10,000 points.
"Among them, the use of explosives this time, whether it is for Fang Baoliang to use to blow up Haikou, or for me to blow up that ghost thing, has brought me merit points."
Fang Yue looked up the origin of each merit point and noticed the point of explosives.
Previously, he improved the gunpowder formula and "invented" the black powder that was not available in this world, and originally thought that he could make merit from heaven and gain a large number of merit points.
He was disappointed to find nothing.
I don't know if it's because this improved black powder formula wasn't really invented by Fang Yue himself, or if it's because in this world where ghosts and supernatural powers exist, ordinary inventions are useless, so they can't get merit points.
In short, Fang Yue's hope of relying on a large number of copies of the inventions of another world in order to obtain merit points was disappointed.
"Is it only by actually applying them to reality and causing an impact that you can reap merit points?"
Fang Yue thought in his heart, these still need to be verified slowly in the future.
"Now that the merit points are abundant, then you can continue to deduce the martial arts skills, the triple enlightenment fist, the flame palm, and the light gong can all be deduced."
In the dim light, Fang Yue's eyes were blazing, and he silently recited in his heart: "Deduction."
Two yin and yang fish, one black and one white, emerged, with an ancient and desolate atmosphere.
……
The candle is still burning, making a "Bibo" sound.
The shadows reflected on the walls dance gently.
Outside the house, there were voices coming and going, occasionally mixed with some shouts and sorrows.
Those who escaped, those who remained, and those who survived, all returned at this time, calling the names of their loved ones in the night.
Those who find it weep with joy, and those who can't find it, or those who see the corpse, are sad and sad.
The death of hundreds of people has caused many people to be ruined.
Fang Yue sat in the room, feeling the exercises being deduced, and then his mind retreated.
He specially found a room to avoid the eyes and ears of everyone, and there was an important thing to do.
"See you."
Fang Yue meditated, and a quaint bronze mirror appeared in front of him.
This time the pirates attacked Heian Castle, and it seems that there is some secret hidden.
The people behind it, let Haikou kill so many people, almost want to slaughter the population of Ping'an County, what is the purpose.
In the world where ghosts and monsters are rampant, this kind of behavior is nothing more than the sacrifice of human life and blood.
"Although there is a certain risk in spying on this kind of power, I am now full of energy, and it is not so easy to apply a damaging curse on me just through mirror images.
Taking a step back, the supernatural power is under my control, and if necessary, it can be disconnected in time, and no matter how meritorious it is, the danger is actually not so great. ”
Fang Yue measured in his heart.
"Sacrifice."
The merit points were consumed violently, and this consumption rate exceeded Fang Yue's imagination.
Fang Yue frowned, but he didn't stop, his eyes staring at the bronze mirror in front of him.
The yellowed mirror, the image shook for a while, and the reappeared picture was pitch black.
"Where is this?"
Fang Yue's eyes suddenly darkened, and then he felt a tightness in his chest and suffocation, unable to breathe and unable to move.
The infinite weight around him squeezed against him, trying to crush his body, as if he had been buried alive in the bottomless earth.
"Wow."
Fang Yue violently spurted out a large mouthful of blood, but fortunately, he had been prepared and was not caught off guard, and disconnected the divine power in time at the critical moment, so he was not fatally injured.
"Sacrifice."
Merit points are consumed, and the little injuries on Fang Yue's body are quickly repaired.
"Sure enough, you can't easily spy on an existence that is too strong."
Fang Yue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
