Three days later, the moon was bright and the stars were thin.

The carriage stopped next to the mountain stream.

A boulder blocks the night breeze, and the two sit opposite each other around a campfire with all kinds of game on it.

"There are so many condiments with the total, and it's only the third day to see the bottom......"

Xu Chong turned the roast rabbit over, and said with dissatisfaction: "And we haven't even gone out of the territory of Zhanghua Mansion." ”

At this rate, the Year of the Monkey and the Moon will be able to reach Dingtianfu?

"The old man noticed that you were a little anxious early on, but he never understood it."

Jiang Zhihong stared intently at the game, "If you want to cultivate, you can cultivate while walking, sitting, lying down, why do you have to stay in a thousand households?" ”

"It's more secure to be in a thousand households."

Xu Chong didn't have a good airway.

"A sense of security? The whole thousand households combined are not as good as ......"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Zhihong suddenly paused, his eyes were gloomy, "You can even trust the traitor you have never met, but you can't trust me, a person who has known me for many days?" ”

"Is it a matter of trust or distrust......

Xu Chong was a little speechless, and squinted at Jiang Zhihong: "You even have to compete with him for this?" ”

"It's not a competition."

Jiang Zhihong shook his head, "I was just thinking, if I had changed places with him back then, would I have allowed him to live to this day?" ”

"If it's really easy to get there, you can't get to the point where you follow him."

Xu Chong shrugged his shoulders, "Once you find out that you can't get the food, I'm afraid that you will enter Beijing with a big edict and beat the drum." ”

"So... It seems like it's a real possibility. ”

Jiang Zhihong thought about it, and laughed first, "But in that case, I will probably die if I can't return to the capital." ”

"You're actually very smart, but you're a little stubborn...... But I have to say, it's rare. ”

Xu Chong continued to flip the roast rabbit, looking inexplicable.

"Rare?"

Jiang Zhihong raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "Tell me carefully." ”

"Except for a county school teacher, you are the first official I have ever met who can be worthy of the word 'good person'."

Xu Chong's tone was flat, without sorrow or joy, "Maybe it's because you haven't experienced any hardships, and the people you see are all people who don't have to worry about food and clothing like you, and you don't need to fight unscrupulously for the sake of profit, so you can maintain this." ”

"Ha, you're praising me?"

Jiang Zhihong seemed to be very happy, and the corners of his mouth were high.

"It's good if you're happy."

Xu Chong was noncommittal.

The word "good person" is fine in the people, but in the officialdom, it is usually associated with incompetence, paranoia, and cowardice.

It's really not a compliment.

"By the way, being idle is also idle, tell me about you before."

Jiang Zhihong suddenly proposed, "I'm curious, what have you experienced that made you have such an insightful gaze. ”

"It's not an insight, it's just a habit of analysis."

Xu Chong shook his head and handed the roast rabbit over to change the topic, "Eat and eat, rest here tonight, and leave tomorrow morning." ”

Sure enough, Jiang Zhihong was immediately attracted to attention and reached out to pick it up.

Now he cherishes every bite he can eat.

And at this moment, both of them were slightly distracted!

- Bang!

Bonfire shatters.

The vision of the two of them was instantly occupied by the firelight.

These fires did not scatter and explode, but were pulled by a force, turning into a tornado of flames, soaring several feet into the air, and blatantly covering the two of them.

All this happened in an instant.

Xu Chong's pupils are still contracting, and it is almost impossible to avoid it!

This change, this majesty.

If he was covered by the fire dragon, he had no doubt that he would die.

But panic is panic, not to the point of despair.

Because Jiang Zhihong is here.

"Presumptuous!"

A reprimand was like thunder from the sky, rising from the ground.

First of all, the wind.

In all directions, with the two people as the center, the wind moves.

Then there are the clouds.

Endless clouds and mist rolled in, directly obscuring the bright moon.

The wind was surging, and it didn't seem to have any ability to attack, but the fire dragon had already disintegrated inch by inch, revealing a figure inside.

"Celestial control?! You-"

The words came to an abrupt end.

A huge palm poked down from a thousand feet in the air and pinched him in his hand.

“……”

Xu Chong looked at this giant hand composed entirely of clouds and mist, and his mind was a little confused for a while.

Jiang Zhihong obviously didn't do anything, just stood there and scolded...... The storm is exaggerated enough, and the cloud hands catch people?

Is this the power above and above the veins?

At this moment, a cloud of mist dispersed from the giant hand and penetrated into the Assassin's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

After a few moments, the giant hand dissipated, and the Assassin fell to the ground.

The face is ordinary, the body is burly, and it is very strange.

"Tell me, who sent you?"

Jiang Zhihong frowned and spoke, his expression and tone as if he didn't feel that he had done anything extraordinary.

The Assassin lay on the ground, his face terrified, pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Interrogation is not such a simple matter."

Xu Chong looked at Jiang Zhihong, "What realm is he?" What about now? ”

"On the top of the pulse, but the strength and physique have been suppressed, and now he is an ordinary person, and he can only see and talk, and he can't move."

Jiang Zhihong explained, paused, and said, "Continue until dawn." ”

"Okay, the scene is a little bloody, I'll avoid it."

Xu Chong snapped his fingers, stepped forward boldly with confidence, picked up the assassin, and was about to walk behind the boulder.

"Nope! Privately using punishment is against the law of Qing! ”

The assassin's face changed drastically, obviously knowing the interrogation methods of the Bloody Guard, "Jiang Zhihong! You are a leader of the righteous path, and you cannot condone such behavior! ”

Xu Chong paused and turned to look at Jiang Zhihong.

"See what I'm doing?"

Jiang Zhihong spread his hands, "The old man has already made a decision, not to mention that he is now wearing a guilty body, and he can't control the head of the bloody guard." ”

Xu Chong gave a thumbs up and walked behind the boulder with a sneer.

Click!

As soon as he put down the assassin, Xu Chong removed his chin.

Although the assassin did not commit suicide by taking poison in the first place, it is likely that he did not prepare the poison sac, but he felt that it was more reassuring to check it.

It's not too dirty, just probe your hand, click, click......

Theoretically, all the teeth that might hide poison were pulled out by Xu Chong.

"It's really not poisonous?"

After Xu Chong finished checking it, he helped the assassin with a look of contempt, "If the people behind you know that you are so afraid of death, I am afraid that the end will be worse than falling into my hands." ”

“……”

The assassin stared at Xu Chong viciously.

I thought it was comparable to Jiang Zhihong's realm, even if I couldn't beat it, it would be no problem to run, where would I use the poison sac?

Besides, he is a retainer, not a dead man......

"If you don't speak, won't you be done without talking?"

Xu Chong smiled, took the waist knife next, and in front of the assassin, disintegrated the blade, handle, and scabbard into 16 kinds of torture instruments of different sizes and functions.

Knives, hooks, sickles, saws, scissors, needles......

This waist knife is one of the preparations for this trip, and it can be said that the entire Qianhu Institute can't take out a few.

In order to cope with the current situation.

"Haven't you reacted yet? I'll pull your tooth out, and it's not painful at all. ”

Xu Chong lined up the torture instruments, "Do you know why?" ”

“…… Why? ”

The assassin's eyes were still vicious, but his voice was already starting to tremble.

"Because I've become a windbreaker."

Xu Chong's tone was flat, "Although it's just a surface, it's enough to make my torture technique reach a new level, and it won't make you feel pain at all." ”

"Let me think about it...... On the top of the Tong Pulse, although the strength and physique are suppressed, the vitality should still be very strong, right? ”

"You say, if I use your skin and flesh to make another boneless you, can you continue to live yourself?"

"Or, sew your hands to your ass and your legs to your shoulders...... I don't know if it can heal? ”

"Well, I have a bolder idea, my tongue is ...... the root of my life."

Before he finished speaking, a wave of footsteps came from the other side of the boulder, and the sound should be far away.

At the same time, it is accompanied by the repeated words 'insulting Sven'.

The Assassin apparently heard this movement as well, and the last hope in his heart was dashed: "I say, I say! Give me a good time! ”

Xu Chong listened carefully to the movement on the other side of the boulder, and then frowned and said, "How can you make such an excessive request?" ”

Pass... Excessively?

The tone of extreme dissatisfaction made the assassin look dazed and began to doubt his life.

Just begging for a good time, this... Is it really excessive?

At this time, Xu Chong continued: "After all, I haven't really put these ideas into action, if you make such a request, how can I practice?" ”

“……”

The assassin was stunned for a moment, and then spoke without hesitation, speaking at the fastest speed in his life, "My name is Zhong Dahe, I am a retainer of the Shen family in Fengyang Mansion, I received the task of assassinating Jiang Zhihong two days ago, I found you a day ago, and I just carried out the assassination. ”

Xu Chong waited for a moment and frowned: "It's gone?" Then don't blame me......"

"What do you want to know?"

The assassin collapsed, his voice a little crying: "As long as you dare to ask, I will dare to answer......"

"Okay."

Xu Chong nodded, "First of all, even if you don't know about Jiang Zhihong's breakthrough, if you want to assassinate him, you shouldn't just send such a little force, right?" What about the rest of the manpower? ”

"No, I'm the only one."

The assassin froze and said honestly: "There are few retainers above the Tongmai, even if they are the Shen family, and I am the only one who can be dispatched...... In addition, I am an assassination, not a challenge, the same realm is enough. ”

"Okay...... The second problem is that there is no noble nationality above the Tongmai that cannot be brought into play. ”

Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, "You are all noble, you must not be a petty official in front of people, why do you still be a retainer for others, and even reduced to the job of a killer?" ”

"How can I have a noble status, I am not even an official ......"

The assassin shook his head self-deprecatingly, "The reason why I can exert my strength above the Tongmai is because the Thousand Faces Dao Ziwei is innocent, and the Shen family traded with him and sent me to the Taiping Dao to participate in the unsealing of the ...... said that he was a retainer, but he was just a high-level martial slave. ”

"Unblocked?!"

Xu Chong narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's to lift the hukou blockade."

Seeing that Xu Chongsheng was interested, the assassin answered the question a little more actively, "Take the sign given by Wei Wuxie, transform into a person of the Taiping Dao, and then go to a place to gather, blindfold, transfer back and forth many times, and finally jump into the two blood pools to soak for a day, it's fine." ”

"Pool of blood?"

Xu Chong was thoughtful.

"Actually, if you have that idea......"

The assassin took the initiative to use his imagination and said in a surprising voice: "I can find you Ge Qianhu." ”

Ge Wanshan?!

Xu Chong's eyes froze, and he said coldly: "Are you dissecting?" ”

"No, no!"

The assassin hurriedly said, "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, when Wei Wuxian made a deal with the head of the family, he said that there were several officials who had traded with him, including Ge Wanshan...... In order to prove it, he even used Ge Wanshan's secret martial arts on the spot. ”

Wei Wuxian will also be greedy for light?

In this case, Ge Wanshan may really have made a deal with Wei Wuxian.

Xu Chong secretly wrote it down, and then asked, "What kind of Wei Wuxian did you see?" ”

"Looking at about thirty, I'm a little short, nothing out of the ordinary."

The Assassin replied, "It doesn't make sense to tell you, it must have shrunk and reshaped." ”

Indeed, this image is not the same as Wei Wuxian himself.

Xu Chong shook his head, "Last question, Shen family, why did you kill Jiang Lao?" ”

"I really don't know about this, I'm just doing what I ...... ordered"

As he spoke, the Assassin suddenly noticed that his voice began to grow smaller, smaller and quieter, until it was inaudible.

It was only then that he felt a tingling chill between his necks.

"It really doesn't hurt ......"

The last thought flashed, and consciousness darkened completely.

Xu Chong pressed his palm to the assassin's chest.

The spiritual source column on the panel began to beat again and again.
