Chapter XXIV
"Look up and look at me. ”
The assassin who had just been untied from the stake by the jailer and put down, his whole body almost completely lost his strength, lying on the ground for a long time without moving, after a while, the assassin who seemed to have recovered some strength tried to raise his head, but the corners of his mouth showed a mocking smile, years of strict training and his own loyalty to the master, for him, any punishment is useless, but it is a pity that his task was not completed, this is perhaps the biggest regret.
"My lord, what's the matter? Don't disturb my rest if it's okay. There was also a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Xu Yang also smiled: "I like a tough guy like you, otherwise it would be boring." ”
Instead of ordering the Assassin to be tortured, one of the jailers leaned over and whispered an order, and the jailer hurried away.
Turning his head, Xu Yang looked at the assassin and said: "You also know, if you enter the prison, you will naturally have no chance to get out, if your bones are hard enough, you can live a few more days, if you want to be happy, you have to soften your bones, say something I want to know, I promise, you can die." ”
This is the truth, the assassin also knows that assassinating the king of a country, even if he tells more inside information, the best treatment he can face is to die faster, but this can only prove that the other party is not lying, and it can only prove that the other party is not a veteran of torture.
The assassin laughed again, "Where is there a prisoner like you, normally, shouldn't you say that if I provide you enough information, you can let me live, plus how many benefits? You are new here? Do this on the first day? Your martial arts are really good, we are not wronged at all in your hands, as for the interrogation, you are still too tender." If you have any means, you can use them. ”
"Alas, since you say so, I also respect you as a man, come ......" Xu Yang waved his hand, and asked several jailers to carry the food box up, and when he opened the food box, there were a few side dishes and a pot of wine inside. "I'll judge you again when you're full. ”
The assassin is also a single, anyway, he is in a big prison, Xu Yang will not poison himself or anything, he simply sat up against the wall, he should eat and drink, and ignored the malicious eyes of the jailers around him staring at him.
Xu Yang watched the assassin eat and drink, and occasionally asked a few words of homely gossip, but the assassin only ate and did not answer.
The assassin sighed, as if he was still unsatisfied, and said loudly to Xu Yang: "You are a good person, I have eaten and drunk, and I have drunk it, so what means do I have to use it against my grandfather!"
Xu Yang had been observing the assassin's behavior, and when he saw that he looked begging for death after eating and drinking, he couldn't help but say, "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, I'll tell you the truth, the king gave me three days to solve you, today is the first day, don't be in a hurry, if you can survive three days, you're finished, I'm finished, you can't survive, you're finished, I'll be promoted, what do you think I should do?"
The assassin was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Yang to say this, did this person have something wrong with his brain? After thinking for a while, he said, "You are a good person, if not...... I want to make friends with you. But in this situation, I won't say anything, it's better for you to ask for more blessings. ”
Xu Yang smiled again: "The reason why I have been telling you the truth is because I have the confidence to judge everything, do you believe it or not? Do you know why you are allowed to eat and drink enough? I am afraid that you will be punished, but if a person dies, I really have no way to make the dead speak." The implication is that as long as he is a living person, there is no one who cannot remain open under him.
The assassin said with some annoyance: "Don't underestimate people, grandpa is not a new debutant, you have these methods, let grandpa taste the best, don't say one or two, even a hundred kinds of sheep, grandpa is not afraid!"
"No, no, no, not so much. Xu Yang still looked like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform: "I'm here to ask you, name, hometown, and age." ”
The assassin said: "Grandpa's surname is Lu, the third in the family, known as Iron Fist Du San, the family lives in the fairy cave on the top of Huiji Mountain, is he still young, he is only ninety-nine this year, it seems that he will not live to be a hundred years old, but he has lived enough, hahahaha." He let out a wild laugh.
Xu Yang also looked at him with a smile: "I know that what you said is not true, I don't know why, I still want to believe you, but there is one thing I want to correct you, you should not be surnamed Lu." ”
The assassin laughed, "Haha, then what do you say your grandfather's surname should be?"
Xu Yang didn't answer, and said leisurely: "Do you know who the person I admire the most is?"
The Assassin looked dismissive and did not talk.
Xu Yang still said to himself: "There is a person, well, is a martial artist, since he was a child, he followed his father and brother to be loyal to the country, but one day, the whole family was killed by the faint king, he fled incognito to other countries, many years later, led the army to capture the original country, burned and looted, and dug up the body of the faint king from the grave, whipped three hundred ......"
"That's enough!" the bruises on the assassin's forehead burst out at this time: "This is all slander, there is nothing at all, there is no burning, killing and looting, and there are no whipping corpses, this is all a lie made up by others!"
"Huh. Xu Yang smiled again: "Don't be so angry, this person is not your relative, even if he is slandered, you don't have to be so excited, right? Besides, no one has seen it with their own eyes, and slander or not is two words, and it is groundless, who can be sure that it must be slander?" (Note 1)
"This ......" the assassin was speechless for a while: "Lord Wu Zixu is the first loyal minister of my Wu Kingdom, and since he is dead, you must not spread rumors and tarnish his name behind him......"
Xu Yang sneered: "Oh, didn't you say before that you were a person from the immortal cave on the top of Ji Mountain in the Yue Dynasty? Why did you become a native of Wu so quickly? And I see that you are young and strong, I can't guess the exact age, but there must not be ninety-nine, right? I was kind enough to invite you to eat and drink, but you were full of lies to me, and asked you a total of three sentences, and you really didn't have a single word, but it was really the style of the loyal Wu family." ”
The assassin was speechless again, and he muttered for a long time before he said: "I just respect Lord Wu Zixu as a person, and disdain some Xiaobian to make lies and slander this adult, I have nothing to do with him, you can't talk nonsense, you invite me to eat and drink, just to ask me, you and I belong to the enemy country, so I naturally don't need to tell you the truth." ”
"Okay!" Xu Yang said: "Even if I believe you again, you have nothing to do with Wu Zixu, but you just said that you are from Wu Guo, but there is such a thing?"
The assassin silently did not answer, he suddenly found that the person opposite was not as incompetent as he thought before, ideas, unconsciously, he fell into the trap he set up without knowing it, although he argued strongly, but his origin was still asked, no, it should be that this person already knew his origin, and even the person who he was was clear, so what did he interrogate himself for?
As if he could see what the assassin was thinking, even if he didn't hear the assassin reply, Xu Yang continued: "Today's trial of you is actually just incidental, what I want to know, I already know, you also know that you are not the only one caught in this prison. ”
"Could it be Song Xin?" the assassin blurted out, regretting it, "You lied to me?"
"Actually. Xu Yang's smile at this moment was like a demon in the eyes of the assassin. "I didn't expect you to be so easy to deceive, Song Xin should be the name of that secret agent, I was only suspicious at first, but I wasn't sure, after all, when I caught him, he was just staring at me in the bazaar, and you were directly assassinating King Yue, and the correlation between the two is not high. “
At this time, Xu Yang paused and continued: " But obviously neither of you is a person sent by the husband, Gou Jian, this husband has no intention of killing him, and I, a small swordsman, will not exist in the eyes of the husband, even if the husband's subordinates want to pay attention to my actions, they will definitely not send such a high-level secret agent to monitor me, you know, the skills of the two of them are not worse than you assassins, and there are still some similarities in your martial arts, so I suspect that you are trained by the same organization, don't you say?"
Note 1: The word "empty wind" comes from Song Yu of Chu during the Warring States Period, and there should be no such idiom at this time, but there is no more accurate word to describe it here, and the party does not need to care too much.
