Chapter 17: Knocking (Part 1)
When the people in the room heard Chiyi's words, they all sat up straight and asked solemnly, "...... What is the last batch? ”
Chi Yi looked at the white pill in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has a broken life pill for the apprentice in their hands, and it has already been distributed to everyone." And in the Jongmyo Temple, this is the last medicine box left in the altar. Take it out of it, and that's all. Actually, these are backup pills in case of an emergency. The real last batch of pills was the one given to the apprentice in everyone's hands. In other words, Guardians, we are the penultimate generation, and our apprentices, should be the last generation. After them, there should be no more guardians in Great Xia. ”
"Why is that?" Qing Wu couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the guardian's mission to protect Great Xia?" Why are the Guardians in the last generation? And what about Great Xia? ”
Chiyi glanced at him and said, "The mission of the guardian is to protect Great Xia. And what is the only threat to Great Xia? ”
The people in the room glanced at each other, then looked at Chiichi together, and said, "...... Fallen people. ”
"That's right." Chiyi slammed the table with his fist, "The fallen people are the only threat to Great Xia!" ”
"And ...... you mean?" Huang San understood, and looked at Chi Yi thoughtfully, "Fallen people, are they about to become extinct?" ”
The fallen people are exterminated, the threat of Great Xia is gone, and the task of the guardian is completed, so there is no need to save zài anymore.
Zi Qi sneered, took the pill in his hand, threw it into the air, shook his head and said, "Is there only one threat in Great Xia?" Hehe, our Emperor Taizu is really powerful. is so conceited, conceited that he thinks that there is only one threat to the Great Xia royal family. ”
Chi Yi turned his head to look at Zi Qi, rested his hands on the table in front of him, and said word by word: "Then what do you think is the threat of Great Xia?" As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at the night sky outside the house through the window, and said, "I didn't understand it before, but then I thought about it for a long time before I figured out what Emperor Taizu meant." ”
"What is it?" Qing Wu asked a little nervously. Leaning forward slightly. It's very different from the idle and extravagant appearance before.
Chi Yi glanced at him and said, "Emperor Taizu means that as long as the fallen people are exterminated, Great Xia will be safe and sound. And Great Xia and the Great Xia royal family. are two different things. We guard. It's Great Xia. It is the people of Li in this land, not just the royal family of Great Xia. ”
"Hehe, you said it yourself, right? Oath of the Guardian. That's not what I said. Ziqi lowered his eyes and stretched out his palm to look over and over.
Chi Yi was noncommittal, looked at everyone and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, everyone has eaten and died." As he spoke, he first picked up the pill and put it in his mouth.
Because the appearance of "broken life" is too peculiar, for a thousand years, no one has ever been able to imitate it, and even the appearance cannot be imitated, so no one here doubted the authenticity of the pill in front of them, and followed Chiyi one by one, and ate the pill with his neck up.
Chiyi kept staring at everyone in the room, until he was sure that everyone had eaten, and then he smiled and said, "Okay, everyone has eaten and died, I believe that everyone is indeed the companion who swore blood in front of Emperor Taizu's tablet at the beginning." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Ziqi was very displeased, "Are you still suspicious of us?" We paid such a big price to be guardians, and you still doubt us?! ”
"Yes, we paid a lot of money, but we also got a lot of benefits." Chiyi said disappreciatively, "You can't just enjoy the benefits and not fulfill your duties, right?" ”
Although they have eaten and lost their lives, they cannot have children in the future, but before they eat and break their lives, they can also become biological children and pass on their ancestry, which is not contradictory.
Many of them gave birth to several children before they officially took over the responsibilities of guardians.
And after eating and dying, the biggest advantage is that they can get rid of the plague of illness from now on, and they will not get sick for the rest of their lives until they die of old age, or they will be killed before they die of old age.
And, of course, there are the monetary benefits. When Emperor Taizu first created the Guardian, he left a number of properties for the Guardian, which was managed by the Duke of Wu, and every year there would be a fixed amount of silver to be sent to the Guardian's secret stronghold.
The accumulation of this industry has become a sky-high price.
After the task of the guardian is completed, according to the instructions of Emperor Taizu at the beginning, the batch of underground properties in the hands of the Duke of Wu will be returned to the national treasury.
Comparing what Chi Yi just said, everyone knows that this day is not far off.
“…… How could Emperor Taizu know that the fallen people were about to be extinct? Qing Wu took a sip of tea and asked cautiously, "If yes...... What if the fallen people were not extinct? ”
What if the next generation of guardians are dead, but the fallen are not extinct?
Chiyi glanced at Qing Wu and said, "Do you doubt Emperor Taizu's wise decision?" -- Emperor Taizu's decision, so far, has not been missed. ”
"No, it's not." Qing Wu hurriedly shook his head, "Of course I don't dare to doubt Emperor Taizu's wise decision, I'm just a little strange." Emperor Taizu has passed away for a thousand years, how can he deduce what will happen after a thousand years? ”
“…… This is not surprising. There are so many strange people and strange things in the world, maybe someone can predict what will happen in a thousand years? Huang San had a smile in his voice, as if he was teasing Qing Wu.
"Is Emperor Taizu so powerful?" Qing Wu looked at Chiyi in surprise, "Boss, you know the most things, tell us about it!" ”
"What do you want to know?" Chiichi sat up straight, "I never knew you were so curious. ”
Qing Wu was choked and said curtly: "I just hope that we can have enough evidence to prove that the fallen people are indeed going to be exterminated." Otherwise, the next generation of Guardians will end, and I always think it's too hasty. ”
"There is a beginning, a development and an end to everything. The Guardians are no exception. Chi Yi said indifferently, "If the guardian keeps staying, it will inevitably override the Great Xia royal family." And Emperor Taizu would never let this kind of thing exist. ”
“…… I didn't say that the Guardian should always be there. I just want us to be cautious and confirm that the fallen are exterminated. It's never too late to put an end to the Guardians. Qing Wu looked at Zi Qi and said hesitantly.
Zi Qi nodded, "Qing Wu has a point. We need to make sure that the fallen are extinct before we can put an end to the Guardians. ”
Chiyi raised his eyebrows, "But our mission does not include exterminating the fallen people. ”
"What the hell do you mean, Boss?! -- If we don't destroy the degenerate, will the degenerate themselves be exterminated?! Even Huang San didn't understand, patted the table, and asked very hotly.
"Exactly!" Chiyi closed his hands and said. "Damnation awaits the fallen. In the end, it will be harvested by heaven. Our goal is to eradicate the hope of revival of the degenerate! ”
"What is the hope for the revival of the fallen people?" Qing Wu asked a little nervously, "That kid is already dead back then." Could it be that someone new has appeared?"
Chiyi glanced at him. Asked: "The last four national mansions." Are you spying on you? ”
"I look at it, but nothing is out of the ordinary." Huang San, Ziqi, and Qingwu all shook their heads, indicating a qiē Taiping.
"Good. Everyone continues to monitor. I've recently gotten word that someone is playing with the Guardian's idea, so you need to be extra careful not to reveal your identity. Chi Yi said slowly, his eyes swept over the faces of the people in the room one by one, "If it is exposed, Lan Liu will be a lesson from the past." -- The elite of the eight surnames of the fallen people are not vegetarians! ”
Everyone's faces turned pale, and they nodded hurriedly, saying, "We will be more careful." ”
"Well, I have one more thing to tell Ziqi alone. Go first. When we get back together in a few days, we should have eyebrows at that time. Chiyi waved his hand, "Ziqi stays." ”。
Seeing that there was nothing to do with him, Qing Wu quickly got up and walked out quickly.
Huang San stretched lazily, glanced at Chiyi, and turned to leave.
Zi Qi stood up slowly on the table, as if he was a little inconvenient to move, and asked Chi Yi: "What is the boss looking for me?" ”
Chiyi's gaze stayed on her immobile right arm for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Ziqi, on the day Wu Chanjuan, the double-pupiled girl died, you were spying on her in the Wu Guogong Mansion, right?" ”
Ziqi nodded quietly: "Yes, didn't I say it?" On that day, the inner courtyard of Wu Guogong's mansion was suddenly set on fire, and I was transferred from the mountain. By the time I returned, Wu Chanjuan had already been killed. ”
"That's right." Chiyi's fingers tapped on the table, "I'll sue you for one thing, you don't sue anyone else." ”
"What's the matter?" Ziqi lowered her eyes and looked fixedly at Chiyi, who was sitting opposite her.
“…… The person who set fire to the Duke of Wu's Mansion that night to divert you from the mountain has been caught by me and locked up in a secret place. I'm thinking about torturing him. After getting his confession in a few days, we will be able to further find out the truth about Wu Chanjuan's death. Akaichi said.
Zi Qi's whole body was shocked, and he asked in surprise, "Huh?" You caught the arsonist? How did you find him? How did you catch it? ”
Chiyi smiled, "I have my own way, so you don't care." In the past few days, you have continued to stare at the Wu Guogong Mansion for me. If there is any abnormality, you must report it to me immediately. ”
Zi Qi bit his lip, nodded in response, and turned to leave with a full stomach full of doubts.
After Zi Qi left, Chi Yi sat in the house for a while before blowing out the lights and candles and quietly walked out of the house.
He deliberately climbed over the courtyard wall and walked down the street.
As he expected, as soon as he left the house, there were immediately a few more eyes behind him.
Chiyi hung his head, smiled slightly, and walked slowly across the corner, blending into the darkness.
As soon as his figure reached the darkness, it appeared erratic and quickly disappeared.
A few people who were watching followed from behind, looking around, and there was no figure of Chiyi anywhere, and they couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "His grandmother's is really cunning!" ”
