Candle flame shakes shadows.

At this time, the atmosphere in this underground secret room is very strange.

Zhen Qiji looked at Shi Zhongquan's head, sighed faintly, and then said to Kang Peng: "Shi Zhongquan and I met such a martial arts scum, and our fate had to change. ”

Kang Peng asked, "When did you know that the doppelganger of the fourteen people was him?" ”

Zhen Qiji said: "Not long after I met him, he told us his secret. Before that, we had already told him who we were. Come to think of it, the reason why he told us must have been deliberate. ”

Two knights who walked the rivers and lakes met a maniac who did a lot of evil, the latter provoked and deliberately let the former kill, the strength of the two rested there, how could the former be able to deal with the latter?

The long-haired old man must have done this for a purpose.

Kang Peng didn't ask all this in his heart, he knew that Zhen Qiji would continue.

Sure enough, Zhen Qiji continued: "The reason why he told us was that we tried to kill him, but we tried together, but we could only be defeated by him." After spending some time with us and knowing the details of our martial arts, he seemed to be relieved of us and handed us something that seemed difficult to accomplish at the time. ”

Kang Peng was surprised: "What is it?" ”

Zhen Qiji smiled bitterly and said, "He said that his age is over half a hundred, he doesn't want to continue wandering like this, he doesn't want to be helpless, and there is no one to collect his body until he dies, so he wants to have a home." ”

Kang Peng said: "It's not difficult to find a home for him, just build him a hut, and then find him a woman, and you can get a home for him." ”

Zhen Qi said: "Yes, if he didn't make any requests, maybe we would have done what you said, even if we offended some people and insulted our reputation by doing this, we will not hesitate to do it, we have nothing to say." The difficulty is that he put forward harsh conditions, and he also gave us a time limit. ”

Kang Peng asked, "What conditions did he put forward?" ”

Zhen Qiji said: "He hopes that when he is old, he can sit in a city, have his own mansion in the city, and there are soldiers loyal to him inside and outside the city, and he also hopes to have his own wife, his wife must be the most beautiful in the world, and her age should not be older than me and Shi Zhongquan at that time." ”

Kang Peng said: "To make such a request, I'm afraid even he can't do it himself." ”

Zhen Qi said: "No, he can do it, but he is too lazy to do it." ”

Kang Peng didn't believe it and asked, "How did he do it?" ”

Zhen Qiji did not answer his question, but said: "He said that as long as we fulfill his wish, we can have endless wealth and beauty." As he said this, he led us into a cave. Walking through the many heavy mechanisms in the cave, he opened a stone door for us, and ......"

His voice trembled. He continued: "Then I saw the piles of gold and silver jewels that filled the entire hole behind the stone door. ”

When he said this, his eyes inexplicably lit up.

It is a kind of light that Scrooge can only emit when he sees countless gold, silver and jewelry, that is a kind of light that begins with the primitive ** of human beings, and it is a kind of light that only has human greed and no human goodness.

Seeing this light in Zhen Qiji's eyes, Kang Peng's heart suddenly cooled.

Kang Peng also suddenly understood that anyone will waver in the face of great temptation, and there is no person who cannot be tempted, only the wrong method and the conditions offered cannot satisfy the ambition of the person who is tempted.

In this world, Zhen Qiji already has his own status and wealth, but when he talks about the incident more than 30 years ago, his eyes still shine a terrible light, from which it can be seen that all the wealth he has obtained now is far less than everything he saw at that time, and his heart that is open for gold, silver and jewelry has not been closed after more than 30 years. It can also be seen from this that the wealth that can make Zhen Qiji still remember until now should be huge and attractive.

Zhen Qiji realized that he had revealed something that should not be revealed, so he quickly restrained his thought-provoking expression and hastily straightened out his messy emotions.

Then, he continued: "He pointed to the gold, silver and jewels that filled the hole, and said to me and Shi Zhongquan that he is now old, and he guards so much money that he will definitely not be able to spend the rest of his life." It's time for him to live out his old age in peace, and hopefully he can live out the rest of his life in peace. Therefore, he is willing to take out his belongings and let us build a city of his own for him. As long as the city is built, we have fulfilled his wish, and he is willing to give me and Shi Zhongquan half of the remaining half. ”

Kang Peng said: "I believe that the money is more than enough to build a city, and there is definitely a lot left." ”

Zhen Qiji said: "Yes, the cost of building a city is less than one-third of all his belongings. When we built the city, there was still a lot of gold and silver in the cave. ”

Kang Peng asked, "Did he really agree to give you the remaining half?" ”

Zhen Qiji sighed and said, "I don't know, because something happened before I could find out if he was really willing to give us the remaining half. Can you guess what's going on? ”

Kang Peng thought for a moment and shook his head.

Zhen Qi said: "The city has been built, and a mansion has been built for him in the city, and he sits in his luxurious mansion and puts forward a request for us. He said that he still has an unfulfilled wish, that is, to marry the world's best beautiful girl, and he hopes that we will find such a woman for him. ”

Kang Peng said: "I now know what happened. You found the woman he needed, and after finding it, you and Shi Zhongquan both coveted her beauty and wanted to take her for themselves, so you had a rift. ”

Zhen Qiji said: "Yes, but you only guessed half of it. We didn't find that woman ourselves, but he had already looked for it. We just need to follow his orders and get the woman here. On the way back to bring that woman, Shi Zhongquan and I really wanted to take that woman for ourselves, but it was the woman who caused the conflict first, not us. ”

Kang Peng said: "What contradiction did she make that made you have a gap?" ”

Zhen Qiji said: "As a woman of the right age, how can you be willing to marry an old man who is over half a hundred years old?" The thought of her pure virginity being ruined by that old man brought tears to her eyes. So, she hated and was ruthless, and told me and Shi Zhongquan that she wanted to kill the old man and wanted us to help her. She paid them for her willingness to give everything she had and be a woman they shared. ”

Kang Peng asked, "You agreed?" ”

Zhen Qiji said: "We didn't dare to agree at first, but after thinking about it, we decided to agree for the time being. ”

When Kang Peng heard him say this, a sly smile flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Perhaps, Zhen Qiji and Shi Zhongquan have long had such a selfish intention, wanting to kill the long-haired old man with countless gold, silver and jewelry.

By killing him, they no longer have to worry about the bearded old man not giving them money, nor do they have to worry about being killed by him after doing something for him. They could have embezzled the countless gold, silver, and jewels that belonged to him, and they had seized the city that had been built and the mansion that had been built.

Then they saw such a beautiful woman again, and the woman wanted to kill the old man, and offered the temptation of sacrificing her own beauty that no man could resist.

As long as they kill him, money, beauty, and fame will all be added to them, with such a temptation, how can they not be tempted?

The strength of the temptation had made them willing to break the kettle and go to the fire, and they naturally made up their minds to kill him.

What they lacked was a just right chance to kill him.
