22: Hero
Inside the dungeon of the Lord's Mansion.
The old man sat in the dark and damp dungeon like a walking corpse, his eyes glazed over, and his already old face climbed into deep ravines at this moment...... It was as if in less than half an hour, he had aged for twenty years.
His spiritual veins had been destroyed, the heavens and the earth had been cut off, and the true yuan in his body was like a funnel, and it had already been emptied. Because the spiritual vein is not only a channel to communicate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also a reserve point for the true element in the body. Now that the spiritual veins have been destroyed, the true yuan of his whole body has naturally dissipated.
The true spirit is still there...... However, the true spirit of the Spirit Realm has only just been born, and it does not have the ability to walk out of the body at all. Although the true spirit is not damaged now, but without the spiritual vein, the true spirit is like rootless water, escaping spiritual power from moment to moment, and the true spirit withers until it perishes, which is just a matter of time.
He is already quite old, he is already more than 800 years old, and his longevity is not much. Now it's so devastating...... At most, he can live for half a year.
The weakness and pain of his body made his whole person numb at the moment.
His heart was full of regret, he knew that if he came here, he would end up like this...... Whatever he says, he won't come.
But it's too late to say anything now. The spiritual veins had been destroyed, and he knew that he only had a few months to live now.
Moreover, he is still in a state of getting weaker and weaker, slowly withering and dying!
And this way of dying is undoubtedly aggrieved and powerless......
Just when the old man was dazed, there was a sound of footsteps, and finally stopped in front of the cell.
The old man looked up a little dazedly and looked towards the corridor outside the cell.
And the moment he saw the person in the lead, the old man's eyes were slightly stunned, and in the next second, a wave of anger and hatred surged up in an instant!
"Jiang, but, evil! β¦β¦β
He paused word by word, as if every word was biting a mouthful of flesh on the other party's body, full of endless resentment and hatred.
This voice made Chen Jiangnian raise his eyebrows slightly, he stood in front of the prison door, looked at the old man who hated to eat his flesh raw, and after thinking about it, he suddenly asked, "What are you hating?" β
This question, which sounded a little inexplicable, made the old man stunned for a moment, and then, he was excited.
He actually asked himself what he hated?!
"Hate what? What do I hate?! What do you say I'm hating!! The old man has surrendered and confessed! Why do you want to destroy my spiritual veins and destroy my foundation?! I knew that you were so cruel and vicious, and the old man didn't get along with you to death!! β
He is hateful, to the point where the other party still insults him?
At the thought of this, he could no longer hold back, and only heard a pop, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Coupled with his already seriously injured body, his whole body shook slightly, and he sat directly on the ground, and his eyes were black for a while, as if he might die at any time.
"Is it so big?"
Chen Jiangnian was also taken aback by this scene, and then couldn't help muttering.
Several generals of the government army behind him were standing beside him, and when they heard his words, they couldn't help but look at him in astonishment, and then hurriedly lowered their heads, thinking strangely in their hearts......
The lord of his own city is really bad, and it is really bad......
At this time, he actually said that the other party was temperamental?
"You, you! β¦β¦β
The old man obviously heard it, and he was so angry that he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word even after saying two words of 'you', and his face turned blue, as if he was about to suffocate.
Chen Jiangnian was taken aback, at such an old age, don't really be angry and die without relieving himself...... He still has questions to ask the other party.
"Okay, okay, let's get rid of it, let's get rid of it, it's not necessary. How big is it? β
Chen Jiangnian hurriedly comforted, and the aunt-style comfort of the neighborhood committee blurted out.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jiangnian was stunned for a moment...... It seems a little inappropriate to say this at this time?
Sure enough, the old man's whole body began to twitch, waiting for Chen Jiangnian's eyes to almost pop out of his sockets, as if they were about to explode.
Chen Jiangnian obediently shut up, he didn't ask any other questions, the other party was angry with himself first.
So after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Actually, if you think about it yourself, you will understand that it is completely unreasonable for you to hate me." First of all, you and I didn't know each other before, and we had no grievances...... Not bad, right? β
The old man's whole body was twitching, but when he heard Chen Jiangnian's question, he still subconsciously followed Chen Jiangnian's train of thought, and then he was slightly stunned, and the hatred on his face was also slightly suffocated.
Chen Jiangnian observed his expression and saw that he seemed to be able to breathe, and without waiting for him to answer, he continued: "You and I don't know each other, and we don't have grudges, but think about it yourself, what did you do when you came to me today?" You came to the door and killed hundreds of my guards, and I don't even know whether to tie up or kill my daughter...... I ask you, you and I have changed places, I have entered your door, killed in your house, and have bad intentions against your daughter...... What would you do? β
This question made the old man's breathing stunned for a moment, and after a while, his eyes darkened, and the violent gasping was also relieved......
In the world, we still have to pay attention to the word 'reason'.
But this time, it was clearly not his fault.
Straightening is the only way to be strong. It's gone...... Where is there any 'qi'?
Of course, this is not to say that you have to be reasonable in everything you do. In fact, the world, more often than not, is unreasonable.
More often than not, fists, above reason. People are more willing to talk about fists.
But when it comes to talking about fists, there are also rules for talking about fists. This rule is - since you talk about fists, you have to recognize fists!
How do you recognize a fist?
That'sβ
It's just about success or failure, right or wrong.
It's called 'recognizing the fist'.
They were talking about fists just now, and the result was that he lost and everyone else won. So what else is there to say?
Now do you 'reason' with others in reverse? What do you say, 'I have already confessed to planting, and you are not right to make a move'?
When the old man thought of this, his face twitched slightly, and finally, he let out a long breath, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, what the city lord said is right, the old man understands." If you don't be reasonable when you come, then at this moment, you shouldn't be reasonable...... Old decay is taught. Anyway, the left and right are already a wasted person, whether it is to kill or chop, let's follow the rules. β
At the end, his voice was already full of bitterness and gloom.
Chen Jiangnian looked at him, and then shook his head and said, "If I want to kill you, I will kill you just now, and there is no need to spare your life." So I'm not going to kill you. And, you say you get it, but I don't think you get it. β
"You hate as you deserve. After all, a good spiritual realm powerhouse, falling into this situation, is indeed embarrassing, and naturally should be hated. But, you shouldn't hate me, but the man who told you to come here and fight with me...... Otherwise, you and I don't know each other, how can you fall into this situation at this moment? β
Chen Jiangnian's question made the old man open his eyes, his eyes flickered, staring at Chen Jiangnian, but after a while, he sneered: "I understand what the city lord Jiang meant, the city lord Jiang, do you want the old man to say the name of the person behind him?" Hahahaha...... Jiang is evil, you can't help but underestimate the old man too much! How could the old man be the one who betrayed his allies? Want to get a message out of my mouth? Dream on! Hahaha......"
He laughed out loud, his posture a little crazy.
Chen Jiangnian looked at him and laughed, and waited for him to laugh, the other party laughed for most of the day, but after all, his body had just been seriously injured, and finally he was directly angry, coughing violently, and interrupting the laughter.
He coughed for most of the day, he gasped violently, adjusted his breathing, and looked at Chen Jiangnian with a sneer during the whole process.
"Look, I'll just say you haven't understood. Do you think that you are very tough and worthy of admiration in doing this? Or do you think I'll be disappointed and sorry if you don't tell me? How much did you get revenge on me, or did you disgust me? β
Chen Jiangnian waited for the other party to calm down, but shook his head and asked.
This sentence made the old man's face suddenly stunned, but soon, he snorted coldly and did not speak.
"Although I don't know you, I think before I came, you should also be a hero, with a respected identity and a high position. The reason why you are in this situation is because you believe in people you shouldn't believe and do things you shouldn't do. Right or wrong aside, let me ask you a question - do you think you are holding on to it at the moment and not telling me, do you know that the person who called you here? Or maybe he knows, do you think he will care? β
Chen Jiangnian asked a question without the slightest fireworks.
This question made the old man tremble, staring at Chen Jiangnian, but he didn't speak.
"I think you actually have the answer in mind for this question, right? In fact, if you don't say it, I can roughly guess who it is...... It's nothing more than the eldest prince and the second prince. It doesn't really make much difference to me whether you say it or not. Because you also know that my relationship with those two peopleβsooner or later, there will be a day of reckoning. I'm just not worth it for you, a strong person in the spiritual realm, just died like this, silently, the key is that no one will remember your sacrifice...... This is actually the greatest sorrow. β
Chen Jiang sighed young.
"Say no more!"
The old man suddenly hissed.
Chen Jiangnian quieted down and just looked at him.
The old man's face was blue, red, and white......
After a long time, he gritted his teeth and hoarsely voiced: "Yes...... Wei Changsheng. And in the city, there are his people. Waiting for ...... at Luo Changsheng's place"
Chen Jiangnian looked at him, then nodded, turned around and left.
"Wait a minute......"
The old man suddenly stopped Chen Jiangnian.
Chen Jiangnian stood still and turned his head to look at him.
The old man gritted his teeth and red eyes: "Help me kill a man named Feng Lixing...... It's him, the lobbyist! β
The hatred of the old man, in the three years of Chen Jiangnian's words, really transferred to the heads of other people......
Sure enough, no matter what it is, it's all contrasted.
Happiness is like that. The pain is like that. Hatred...... And so it is.
Chen Jiangnian looked at him, then nodded and said, "If what you say is true, I will." β
After saying this, he didn't say much and left with someone.
The old man sat in the dark cell, and after a long time, there was an extremely suppressed roar from the cell, and the voice was full of remorse and pain......
A group of people came out of the dungeon, and the generals of the government army all looked at Chen Jiangnian with admiration.
They really didn't expect that just a few words would really make the city lord pry open each other's mouths?
There was no punishment, not even a forced confession, just simple talk......
How, exactly?
Naturally, Chen Jiangnian would not explain to them what psychology is...... Although he himself knows little about the subject of psychology. But after all, after so many years of fighting in that era of information explosion, this method has almost become an instinct, and there is really nothing to show off.
At this moment, Chen Jiangnian was thinking about another thing, that is, the 'Luo Changsheng'......
Wei Changsheng ...... Luo Changsheng...... The people of this world are really persistent enough about 'immortality'......"
Chen Jiangnian muttered in his heart.
It is estimated that if there is anyone in the entire Fuyun Realm who is most qualified to mention the word 'immortal', it is actually him...... After all, he really has lived for 100,000 years.
It's just that the 'immortality' of the past '100,000 years' is not a good experience for him. It is not an exaggeration to say that every point is torture.
Everyone in the world is seeking immortality, is immortality really that good?
Chen Jiangnian sighed lightly in his heart, but then shook his head.
Now is not the time to think about this.
Naluo Changsheng, I have to go and see it first.
Jiang Qixie's memory contained information about Luo Changsheng. He, like Lingchan Peak, can be regarded as Jiang Qie's hand-picked up, and before he took the heir, he intersected with each other.
Wanliu Chengjiang is the lord of the city, Lingchanfeng is the commander of the defending army, and Naluo Changsheng is not ordinary-he is the commander of the 'evil army' in Wanliu City.
The garrison is mainly responsible for the management of law and order in the city. And the suppression of evil forces is mainly a foreign war.
This world is not peaceful, not only for people, but also for all kinds of demon beasts in the Fuyun Realm. The evil army is specially designed to deal with the patrol and guard work outside Wanliu City.
Suppressing demon beasts and defending against foreign enemies is the job of suppressing evil forces.
There are more than 100,000 people in the evil army, guarding some key towns outside Wanliu City. Although the monomer is not as good as the government army and the city defense army. But the light is the biggest force.
Jiang Qievil can let Luo Changsheng be in charge of suppressing the evil army, which shows his trust in Luo Changsheng.
But apparently, he was shot in the eye again...... Lingchan Peak was rebelled, and even Luo Changsheng was rebelled.
"What kind of strange gaze is it?"
Chen Jiangnian couldn't help but complain in his heart.
However, after thinking about it, Chen Jiangnian still planned to go and see the situation first......
Naturally, he wouldn't listen to the old man's words.
Whether it is true or not, you can only be sure after you have seen it.
But just as he was thinking, a sound of footsteps sounded, and a group of government troops ran over.
"City Lord, General Luo is here."
A government soldier knelt down on one knee and spoke directly.
Say Cao Cao Cao is here?
Chen Jiangnian was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled: "Oh? He's coming? Where is it? β
"Martial arts arena."
The government replied.
Chen Jiangnian nodded, waved his hand, motioned for the government army to get up, and then led people to the martial arts arena......
