Chapter 233: The Heavenly Tribulation is still there
Deep prison, dark and dark.
Xu Zun didn't expect that the fake Qiu Yongnian would be imprisoned in the underground of the Neiwei Mansion, who would have thought that there would be a prison in the Neiwei Mansion?
It is conceivable that the prisoners locked up in this place are naturally not trivial.
However, to this day, the internal guards have not interrogated the real name of the fake Qiu Yongnian.
Squeak......
As the heavy iron door was opened by the guards, Cai Kun led Xu Zun into a dark cell.
Since this place is an important place for internal defense, it must be led by Cai Kun himself before entering.
To cover up the unpleasant smell, incense was burned in the cell.
Under the faint light of the fire, but saw the fake Qiu Yongnian emitted by the cloak, chained to the stake. Due to the lack of an arm, one of the chains was directly around his neck.
Gee......
Xu Zun was almost unrecognizable, but seeing that he was withered and scarred, he had long lost his former high-spirited appearance, and even lost his human appearance.
"Qiu County Order," Xu Zun came to the front and called softly, "I haven't seen you for many days, but you still recognize Xu?" ”
Hearing Xu Zun's question, the fake Qiu Yongnian shook his head and opened his eyes.
One of his eyes is gone, giving him a colorful kaleidoscope appearance.
Unexpectedly, he recognized Xu Zun, shook his head, and hummed something.
"Look, that's it!" Cai Kun complained helplessly.
Before, Cai Kun had already introduced the situation of the fake Qiu Yongnian to Xu Zun, and this person was sometimes sober and sometimes confused.
When you are sober, you must not say anything, and when you are confused, you will talk nonsense, and it is useless to use torture no matter what.
And as time went on, he was awake less and less.
Sure enough, Xu Zun tried to talk to his family Qiu Yongnian again, but he just kept shaking his head, his eyes glazed like a fool, and he was still muttering to himself.
"Ahem...... Xu Zun cleared his throat and tried to drink, "Shang Xuan is different, and the gods return to the Yuan." Cut the Nine Gates ......"
He deliberately left a sentence to see if the fake Qiu Yongnian would accept it.
"Hey, hey, hey......" fake Qiu Yongnian suddenly laughed, "It turns out that you are also from Xuanmen!"
"Huh?"
Cai Kun was stunned.
Before that, they had tried countless times with the Xuankou formula, but he didn't respond at all.
I saw Xu Zun today, but I suddenly reacted.
Xu Zun was also pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What, do you know someone from Xuanmen?" ”
"Hmph...... Humph......"
Fake Qiu Yongnian's cheeks trembled, and his eyes seemed to show some kind of fear, or some kind of disdain, but ...... He trembled for a long time, but did not answer Xu Zun's question.
"The Heavenly Tribulation Project is about to begin," Xu Zun tried to ask again, "How is it, aren't you excited?"
As a result, the fake Qiu Yongnian did not react.
"I'll tell you......," Xu Zun said as he approached the fake Qiu Yongnian, "I already know what's in the iron coffin!" Do you want to know? ”
After asking, but seeing the fake Qiu Yongnian grinning and smirking, he sang a ballad: "The demon dragon went out to sea to roll the wind and waves, the wind and waves were more than three thousand zhang, Qikaku bar Arrieta, Anuanu Guri Wow......"
"This ......" Xu Zun wondered.
"This is the song of the Wa tribe in the East China Sea," Cai Kun explained in a low voice, "We suspect that this person should be a Wa Assassin."
"It's really good to sing," Xu Zun coldly asked the fourth question to the fake Qiu Yongnian, "Let me ask you, how did those Japanese assassins enter the palace in the palace assassination fifteen years ago?" ”
"Ah!?h
As a result, the fake Qiu Yongnian did not react, but Cai Kun was surprised.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......" fake Qiu Yongnian smirked and continued to sing, "The son of ten thousand demons is out of the East, unwilling to be the king of the sea by the demon dragon, crying that his rallying tower is stacked with him, and the mini Gou Santa begs for ......"
Ooh......
Xu Zun seemed to hear a little taste, and felt a little similar to a certain Chinese dialect in his previous life.
"Xu Zun, ...... you" Cai Kun wanted to ask.
However, Xu Zun made a gesture and motioned to leave.
"How?" Cai Kun was even more confused, "Is this leaving?" ”
After leaving the cell, Xu Zun said to Cai Kun: "It's futile to ask again, first, he has only seen people from Xuanmen; Second, he is not from the Xuanmen, so it is useless for us to investigate the case this time. ”
"No, no, no......" Cai Kun waved his hand and said, "I'm not asking about this, I'm asking, why did you ask about the Japanese assassin fifteen years ago?" Why do you ask this? ”
"Okay," Xu Zun asked, "Lord Cai, tell me, how did the Japanese assassins enter the palace back then?" ”
"At that time, it was the coming of all nations, and those assassins infiltrated the Izumo Kingdom mission and killed the envoys, so that they could get the opportunity to assassinate!"
"Really?" Xu Zun said, "More than a dozen assassins have infiltrated the envoys? So easy to mix? ”
"Yes," replied Cai Kun, "I was the commander of the internal guard at the time, and I saw with my own eyes that all the envoys were killed in the inn where they were staying.
"It's clear that they killed the emissary and then infiltrated the palace in the guise of the Izumo emissary."
"What about weapons?"
"The weapons are soft swords, which can be hidden at the waist! Xu Zun," Cai Kun grabbed Xu Zun's arm and asked, "Are you a little off-topic?" Do you think our internal guards are all fools? ”
"I don't know anything else," Xu Zun said, "but the assassination case fifteen years ago looks more like a catastrophe, as long as there is any doubt, I have to find out." ”
"You ......" Cai Kun was speechless for a few seconds, and said angrily, "Okay, in that case, I'll go back and order someone to bring you the fifteen-year file!"
"You're definitely wasting your time, wasting your precious time!"
……
Late that night, even though Xu Zun was lying on the lap of the bitter mother, he still couldn't sleep.
"Ku Niang," Xu Zun habitually buried himself in Ku Niang's arms, and said, "I'm really a little confused this time!"
"I finally understand a truth, since the Great Xuan Imperial Court has all been dispatched and tried their best, but they still haven't found those Xuanmen rebels, then why can I find it?
"I'm beginning to suspect that the Xuanmen's Heavenly Tribulation plan may have run aground!
"According to the law of development, their plan should be to use large-scale assassination to cause chaos first, and then take advantage of the chaos to carry out a catastrophe.
"But in front of you...... It doesn't seem to have achieved their desired results.
"But if you think so, it still means that the catastrophe is still there!" Xu Zun said worriedly, "Especially, those female assassins have mysteriously disappeared, I feel that there must be a demon in this."
"Tut-tut......" Xu Zun rubbed his head in the arms of the bitter mother, and said with a sigh, "My life is enough, as if it has been opened, why can't I do a little thing?"
"But...... To say that there is no clue at all, it is not absolute.
"Through the current investigation, I have discovered something that has been ignored by others," Xu Zun finally caught the meaning of sleepiness and said tiredly, "Are the seventeen victims themselves all clean?"
"I suspect that some of them are from the Xuanmen, and their murder may have been murderous, but it was covered up by other assassinations......
"Whew...... Whew......"
After saying this, Xu Zun finally fell asleep......
