Chapter 146: Confrontation

Seeing me so persevering, Father Yan looked a little helpless, stood up, and looked straight at me, but did not move a step.

"Stinky Boy...... Why are you suffering? He finally said that.

"Haven't we been together all the time? There's more important work to be done, and I need you, Daddy. "I'm honest.

"I'm not going to go with you, and besides, you probably won't be able to get out of this villa again." He said with a low brow.

"yes, then I'd like to give it a try." I said with a smile.

He looked a little surprised when I said this, and asked, "Don't you think it's strange?" Why am I here. ”

"It was the people of the Diggers who brought you back." I said, looking to the ground, "or more accurately, you came back with them." ”

He was stunned and glared at me, not admitting or denying it.

"Actually, I thought it was strange early in the morning," I continued, "why did we not encounter any obstacles from the Digging Regiment after leaving Xiping Town, even in a large place like Hejian, where under normal circumstances should be all over the eyes of the Digging Regiment, you just went in and out like that, and there was no problem." You've betrayed the Diggers on the surface, but you're actually doing things for them, aren't you? ”

"That's it?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Not only that, but what makes me most suspicious is that I rescued Shaoting's father that day, but the Digging Ying Group suddenly mastered our whereabouts. It's not that I'm arrogant, I think there's a very low chance that they'll see through that plan, unless we have someone inside us who tells you about it. I let out a sigh of relief.

"Then you can't help but be too confident, Wang Che is locked up in the edict and the digging group is clear, maybe the first time you went to see him, you have already attracted their attention, keep an eye on the edict, it is not difficult to catch up with you."

"For the first time? How do you know I've been there more than once? ”

"This ...... Since you want to send a secret message on the emperor's list, you must have informed him in advance......"

"That code was negotiated with you in advance, and you don't need his old man to know."

"Well, I'm just speculating......" his tone began to grow uncertain.

"And one thing that makes me feel strange is that after we came out, we didn't find you, not even a person who had seen you, which is so abnormal. If you have the heart to reconnect with us, how is it impossible to leave a clue? The biggest possibility of disappearing without a trace is that he simply walked away according to his own will, and he didn't intend to let us know his whereabouts at all. ”

"Maybe it's because I'm controlled by the Digging Troupe and can't leave any clues?" He said with a smile.

But I didn't want to ask him, and said, "There is another thing that makes me more convinced of your relationship with the Digging Troupe." It was when those three eunuchs came to the valley that when I took a bus with one of them, Qin Gong, and threw the incense bomb on him, he was actually safe and sound! Normally, this is only the case if you take an antidote, isn't it? ”

"Everyone in the group knew about this recipe before......"

"Impossible!" I interrupted his quibble, "This recipe was remixed and added when we were on the road, remember?" At that time, you also deliberately changed the prescription of the antidote! If you haven't been in contact with the Digging Troupe since you left Xiping Town, how could they possibly have the antidote to this new recipe in their hands? ”

Daddy's mouth was half open, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end, he suddenly smiled and said, "You think so carefully, it's because you have suspected me for a long time, so you have been observing my actions and looking for an opportunity to confirm it, isn't it?" ”

"No, I ...... I just wanted to find an opportunity to eliminate your suspicion, but unfortunately, not only did I not rule it out, but it made me more solid step by step. I said in a deep voice.

"Why are you with me when you don't trust me anymore?" Father Yan was silent for a long time and said in a dumb voice.

"Because I want to know why. It's a fact that you've helped me over and over again, and we've come all the way, and it's been a matter of birth and death, and I've long regarded you as a friend and relative, so I want to know why. I said.

"Why, hehe." He suddenly laughed, "Do you need a reason for this?" You are a member of the Tao family, and the blood furnace is on you, and this reason is enough. You said it yourself, now that you have become the target of everyone, everyone wants to get it, the Digging Troupe is the strongest among these people who are vying for the secret of immortality, of course I have to help them! I'm a businessman, and it's only natural to make the most profitable choices. ”

"The strongest?" I find this a little strange.

"At present, the emperor is weak and the power is falling, who can best grasp the general trend of the world? Is it Liang Ji? Of course not! He is just a reckless man, he can only use force to engage in infighting, and he feels that he is invincible if he can use the emperor as a puppet, and he doesn't know how to really win the world. Is it the local private forces? Hmph, a group of rabble, a plate of scattered sand, only know a corner of peace, fighting each other for a little profit, can't become a big climate! The Digging Youth League is different, these people just say that we are constantly collecting information, and the party is just fighting against differences, of course more than that! We have also controlled the country from the economic lifeline by uniting the big tyrants and big businessmen from all over the country to annex land and monopolize core industries! Do you think that's the strongest? Father Yan said, his tone full of pride.

"Since they're already so strong, what do you need the Blood Rock Furnace for?" I asked.

"Because we need time! Now the country has not been won, even if it is won in the future, it will need countless big and small things to do, life is only a few decades, how can it be enough? Moreover, even if the Digging Troupe can't get the secret of immortality, they must not allow others to get it! He said in a sonorous voice.

I looked at him and said with a solemn face, "Do you really think that the secret of immortality is hidden in the Blood Rock Furnace?" ”

He was laughing with great ambition, but when he heard me say this, his face suddenly changed and he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Dad, after getting along for so long, I really didn't pretend in front of you, nor did I hide anything, the blood furnace ruined my family, uprooted my hometown, everyone was punished, you have seen it with your own eyes! Even if I were willing to hand over the Blood Rock Furnace to the Diggers, would it bring about the wonderful result you imagined? Or will there be accidents and disasters? Will it destroy all the advantages you have so hard won? I say sincerely.

"We are also mentally prepared for this......

"Mentally prepared, is that really the case? Then I ask you, why should we show mercy to our men? I asked him rhetorically.

"What mercy?"

"Actually, there are countless opportunities along the way, and you can lure us into a trap and capture us in one fell swoop, can't you? When you sent me to the palace, didn't you also get the best chance of the Blood Rock Furnace? Even this time, instead of disappearing inexplicably, shouldn't we leave a clear clue that will draw us to you? Why hesitate again and again?! (To be continued.) )
