Chapter 143: Ask Xiao Chen
"I don't know. Zhang Hong shrugged and said, "What I did that day was very simple, I said it, and it was Shi Hao who asked me to do it." As for how he played, I really didn't see it. Alas...... However, no matter what, the enemy still didn't stop it. ”
Zhang Hong sighed as he spoke, but Jiang Yitian felt the meaning inside, "What about Xiao Chen? I found that he didn't show up in the whole battle? Wang Jiyuan provided information here, saying that you had a meeting before, and he went to investigate the other party's situation?"
"Minister Jiang, I'm just a transparent person, and it sounds like they pulled me to a meeting, and if I don't say it well, that's to deal with the rules and regulations of the committee. Although the mage advisor can participate in decision-making consultation, no one really takes me seriously. I'm telling you, no matter what decisions they make there, it doesn't matter to me, and I don't know how to implement them. ”
"You mean, it's impossible to determine what Xiao Chen went to catch?" Jiang Yitian asked.
"Of course. ”
"You've been involved in the previous negotiations with the Empire, right?"
"It's one thing! Participation is participation, but I'm a marginal person. Shi Hao, Xiao Chen, and Huang Zheng are all here, what can I do? I just made up two meals to support them. Zhang Hong's eyes were no longer nervous at this time, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction, "I really don't know what they talked about with the imperial people, what I know is the things they announced to everyone." ”
"You mean, what is the secret agreement between them and the people of the Empire?" Jiang Yitian asked.
"I didn't say that. Zhang Hong denied it, but after denying it, he whispered, "But who knows? They have already done a lot of mysterious things, whether it is the sudden visit of the Imperial people to ask for a loan, or Shi Hao's arrangement for the Imperial people to visit our pneumatic cannon, or Xiao Chen left with the strongest two combat forces, and then the Imperial people began to attack the city, it all seems very strange, doesn't it?"
"Your accusations are interesting. Jiang Yitian wrote down a few strokes in a notebook, looked at Zhang Hong with interest and said.
————————————
Jiang Yitian's second inquiry was Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen had been awakened from his coma for less than a day, and he looked very weak. He fell asleep after passing through the small mountain village, and it was Roger who carried him all the way back.
After lying in the hospital room for two days, I finally woke up. The place where Jiang Yitian made inquiries was his hospital room.
When he came in, Roger and Evelyn were standing by his side, although Evelyn asked Xiao Chen to come back tomorrow on the grounds of Xiao Chen's weak health, but at Jiang Yitian's insistence, Xiao Chen himself agreed to the inquiry and let the two leave the room.
Jiang Yitian asked about everything he had heard from the others, and Xiao Chen answered truthfully. The whole process was uneventful, Jiang Yitian didn't question or suspect anything, until the end, Jiang Yitian was a genius. asked, "Xiao Chen, what do you think of what they said about the problem of the mole opening the door?"
Xiao Chen's voice was very soft, and there was some hoarseness: "I think...... The possibilities are high. I've studied that door, and it doesn't open inside, it doesn't open outside. That's why we thought we could safely take Master Olgas with us. ”
Jiang Yitian asked again: "Do you have any guesses about who the traitor is?"
"We weren't in the city at the time, and all the information about this was told later. ”
"Do you think that incident was done by the Imperial people in our team?" When he said this, Jiang Yitian tilted his head out of the door, obviously pointing something.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing, I just think that those imperial people are more suspicious than our real Chinese, don't they? Isn't this a good opportunity for them to glorify their ancestors and serve the emperor?
Do you think about the Black Wood Pass, which has not been fought for hundreds of years, and if the door is opened by such a person, what kind of praise will his family get? Title, territory, wealth, and even entry into the Senate?"
"What, do you have a suspicious target now?" Xiao Shen was a little weak, but there was still a clear coldness in his voice.
"Don't be nervous, everyone is my suspicion. Jiang Yitian tapped the edge of the notebook with the ballpoint pen in his hand.
"I hope you don't waste your time with people who clearly have alibi. Xiao Chen said.
"It's a magical world. I'm not going to stick to an alibi that can be destroyed by magic at any time. Jiang Yitian suddenly stood up, leaned in front of Xiao Chen, glared at him and said: "Roger, an imperial man, a military nobleman, a high-level peak warrior, is deeply trusted by you and Shi Hao, on the day when the city of Heimu Pass was broken, there was no other living person other than you and the dark elf Evelyn who could prove his whereabouts, saying that the routes outside Heimu Pass were blocked, but it only took less than four days to return from the mountain after the city was broken. And you're in a coma the whole time, and you have no idea how he came here. Do you think you're really qualified to prove anything for him?"
"If you have any doubts, you can investigate, speaking out loud to me here only proves one thing. Xiao Chen said half a sentence.
"What?"
"You have bad breath. ”
Jiang Yitian straightened up and smiled: "I'm glad you still retain your sense of humor." But Xiao Chen, I have a thorough understanding with you, this matter is not only the entire committee, but all of us traversers will not let it go easily. Actually, I didn't mean to target you, really. When he walked to the door, Jiang Yitian turned his head and said, "By the way, I will give you two messages." First, you reported that the archmage Eder who was killed by you was not dead, and he has been haunting Blackwood Pass for the past few days, so what you said about killing a great mage with a few high-level is very suspicious, and everyone is speculating about what happened that day.
The second piece of news is that Roger's family has been rewarded by the Emperor, and his title has been upgraded by one level and he has been given a large fief, which is a really interesting time, isn't it?"
Although Xiao Chen and Jiang Yitian had a confrontation at the end, Jiang Yitian's soundproof barrier blocked all sounds. Roger and Evelyn, who were waiting at the door, had no idea what was going on inside the room.
Walking out the door, Jiang Yitian asked his two assistants to take Roger and Evelyn to different rooms.
His eyes scanned the two of them, like a wolf looking for food: "I need to ask you two separately as well." ”
