Chapter 39 (16)

Nangong Xue sneered: "Master Xia, I don't know what you are anxious about? The first time I heard that someone was going to the guillotine, I was also so anxious. The owner of Pingzhuang answered: "This is called the world, and there are no wonders. Some people sell their friends to seek glory, and they can still sell their lives with confidence, and their throats are louder than anyone else's. The owner of Xia Zhuang was so angry that he smoked, took out a soft whip from his waist, slapped the two of them behind their backs, and shouted: "Stop!

The group dragged to the top of the mountain, and saw a few wooden stakes nailed into the shape of a cross standing on the flat ground on the side, and it seemed that there was a pressure on people. The ground rises suddenly, and a figure stands on the edge of the crater, with the hem of his clothes dragged behind him, facing the strong wind, and the peak of the earthquake is still not the slightest fluttering.

His eyes were far away, sometimes he looked into the distance, sometimes he lowered his gaze, and watched the valley mouth tumbling like a tide, bubbling from time to time, already approaching the magma at his feet, and hot lava pouring down on both sides, and his eyes revealed a bit of indescribable fanaticism. Nangong Xue and the others were standing behind him, naturally it was difficult to see.

Lord Xia Zhuang came out in line, saluted respectfully, and said, "See Lord Seven Evil Saints." The sacrifices you wanted, your subordinates brought you. Listening to the tone and voice of his voice, the flattery and stammering meaning, it was disgustingly clear, as if his ancestors had been used to being each other's servants for eighteen generations. The owner of Liu Zhuang immediately snorted coldly and took a sip on the spot. Jiang Yanchen didn't turn around, and didn't seem to have any intention of rewarding him for his merits, so he just hummed and said, "You know what to do." ”

The owner of Xia Zhuang replied: "Yes." Before Nangong Xue and the others could react, they saw him turn around suddenly, shoot out a few silver silk threads in his hands, knock out the three of them at the same time, and collide with the wooden stake respectively, the silk thread just touched the real thing, and immediately tightened, binding the three of them firmly. The owner of Liu Zhuang immediately scolded and said: "The surname is Xia, you beast who eats inside and crawls outside, you dare to connect with foreign enemies and frame us!"

The owner of Xia Zhuang said in a deep voice: "Shut up for me! What's the quarrel? With a few of you little minions, you don't deserve to scold me." If it weren't for the old man's merits, how could you personally participate in Lord Jiang's rebirth ceremony? This is an honor that you can't enjoy in a few lifetimes, and it's not a few of you who have lived in vain!"

Lord Xia Zhuang ignored him anymore, and only said to Jiang Yanchen: "Lord Jiang, do you want to check these sacrifices again?" Jiang Yanchen sneered, and everyone didn't see his figure move, but the next moment he had moved from the crater to the flat ground. His cold eyes swept over and said, "Among these people, the heads of the four major families alone account for half of them. Could it be that you can't find a suitable sacrifice, so you can make up for your own brother?"

The owner of Xia Zhuang hurriedly said: "No, no, just because I persuaded them to serve the adults, but these people don't know what to do, and they swear to die." Such a person has no value in keeping, and can contribute a little to your rebirth, and it can be regarded as a little atonement for some sins. I'm all for the sake of my brothers in the past, for their sake. However, whoever dares to oppose his lordship, no matter how distant or close he is in the past, his subordinates will never have any contact with him again. ”

Jiang Yanchen said: "Well done." Pacing slowly, he passed in front of the three of them one by one. Although several people scolded him to the point of blood, no one dared to really make a move. When the owner of Xia Zhuang saw him inspecting the sacrifices, he was really more panicked than he was being checked over and over again, for fear that if he was slightly dissatisfied, the reward he received would be lost.

In the end, Jiang Yanchen stopped in front of Nangong Xue, his eyes were always fixed on her, and his expression was extremely strange. The owner of Xia Zhuang sighed in his heart, and said secretly: "Sure enough, this woman of unknown origin is still causing trouble for me...... I knew that Concubine Yun was uneasy and kind. ”

I couldn't hold on any longer in the stalemate, and hurriedly said, "My lord, I didn't capture this woman, it was a gift from Concubine Yun...... She knew that I was going to offer you a sacrifice, so she asked me to carry her with her. If the adults are not satisfied, I will dispose of her now. ”

Jiang Yanchen silently examined Nangong Xue for a long time, and suddenly laughed loudly, and said: "Satisfied! How can you be dissatisfied? Sure enough, there is no one who knows me than Concubine Yun! This seat will tell you that this alone will give you more credit than you getting a hundred brothers of unknown origin." ”

The owner of Xia Zhuang really wanted to swallow what Fang Cai said back into his stomach at this time, and turned to pat his chest and promise, "I caught this chick." blamed him for recognizing that Shen Shiyun had nothing to do and was "either a traitor or a thief", for fear that he would frame her and not know it, so he couldn't hold on at the last moment and was eager to return the charge to her.

Jiang Yanchen walked around the sides of the three of them again, went around a circle, and according to the order, he first stopped in front of the owner of Pingzhuang, and said coldly: "Mr. Ping, it's really not easy to see you." You and I have been working together for a long time, and this seat has always been very satisfied, why did you suddenly break the contract and betray me?"

The owner of Pingzhuang sneered: "It has always been you who unilaterally ask for it, how can you be dissatisfied? I have not betrayed you, what I have betrayed is the entire martial arts! I have already decided to withdraw from the rivers and lakes from now on, and from then on there will be no such person as Ping in the world! Why do you have to ignore and be unforgiving, and repeatedly rely on each other and force each other to suffer? Now I am tired of all the struggle for power, but I just want to cultivate myself and go to the mountains and forests to live a peaceful life. Do you just want to quit the crooked path, but you can't get it?"

Jiang Yanchen said coldly: "Do you think that if you make a wrong step, you can return to the right path from now on? Do you know how famous the four great families in your eyes are now in the rivers and lakes? Everyone else calls them the lackeys of the Demon Sect, or they are just the puppets of one person in this seat." The choice of one step determines the fate of a lifetime, which cannot be changed. Imagine that you are like this, once you walk out of the gate of the Ping family, those self-proclaimed chivalrous people, who are afraid that they will hold swords in their hands, are waiting to clean you up. What you have done for my religion is obvious to all in the world. If you break away from the shelter of this seat, you will not be able to move an inch from now on, and what can you talk about living in peace?"

Lord Pingzhuang said: "I am not a person on the righteous path in the first place, and I have never thought of attaching myself to them. As long as I can withdraw from the martial arts, even if I just take a step, I will be hacked to death by a random knife, at least the moment I die, I am a free body, and it is enough. I have never accomplished any shocking task for you, as one of your subordinates, it is just a dispensable existence, what is so rare? What is the difference between one more me and one less me? What's more, haven't you also found a loyal substitute for Brother Xia? What else do you need me to do? Besides, I can guarantee you that I will never stand on the side of your enemy, let alone cause any hindrance to your plans. ”

Jiang Yanchen sneered: "Do you think I'm worried about that? Mr. Ping, you can't help but think too highly of yourself. Even if you increase your ability tenfold, you are not qualified to influence the plan of this seat. However, when the covenant was made in the past, before the deadline for the promise expired, the unilateral party could not renege and withdraw, and now this seat has not said to kick you away, you will give me a leave first. If it's not betrayal, what is it called?"

The owner of Pingzhuang smiled bitterly and said: "If this is the case, you will be sick and die in my life! People are born, old, sick and die, and it cannot be changed by manpower, so it cannot be called a breach of contract." ”

Jiang Yanchen said coldly: "It's not just this thing. I ask you again, have you ever heard the name 'Mu Zixun'?" The owner of Pingzhuang suddenly opened his eyes and muttered, "Mu ...... Mu Zixun ...... "When others look at his expression, they also know that there must be something strange."

The smile on Jiang Yanchen's face was more appropriate than a cruel smile, and he said in a low voice: "If you don't remember, it doesn't matter, after all, when people are old, their memory will deteriorate." But she's really not a light weight to you, what do you want to find out if you let her go undercover with me? Now that this most useful chess piece is here, do you want to bring her over and let her give you some inside information?"

The owner of the Pingzhuang swept a glance at Nangong Xue, smiled miserably, and said, "No need! Okay, since you all know, then I will honestly admit that I do want to betray you all the time, and I have never been truly loyal to you...... When I agreed to cooperate with you, it was entirely for the purpose of revitalizing the family and making Heijiazhuang the leader of the four major families. It's me who took advantage of you, how do you want to punish me, listen to me, and simply pay you my life as compensation......! She...... I was forced by me to use the life of the person she cherished the most to force her to do it, and this matter has nothing to do with her...... You can kill me, but you are not allowed to embarrass my daughter! Otherwise, I will be a ghost, and I will not rest with you!"

Jiang Yanchen said: "Your daughter...... She's so good, and this seat naturally won't do anything to her. Not only do I not embarrass her, but I also focus on cultivating her and cultivating her into a good person who can take charge of herself. Then she can go around on my behalf, kill all the traitors on my behalf, or the hard-hearted ones who don't know the times...... Since you have died of illness, the task of serving me naturally falls to your daughter. In her life, as long as I don't want to let go, she can't escape the shackles of this contract. Or...... As soon as you die, I will immediately send her to the Netherworld to accompany you?"

The softer his voice, the more sinister the meaning of his words. The lord of Pingzhuang was so angry that his chest burned like fire, and he said angrily: "Seven evil demons, you ...... You despicable and shameless villain! I was blind in the first place, so I agreed to cooperate with you!" Jiang Yanchen took a few steps before turning his head and saying coldly: "Did you recognize me on the first day? Am I despicable or not, do you know at this moment?"

The owner of Pingzhuang was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot. Jiang Yanchen passed by the side of the owner of Liu Zhuang, his expression was indifferent, and as he passed by, the owner of Liu Zhuang suddenly shouted: "Slow, Lord Jiang! I have long intended to submit to you, and it is all him...... It was the man surnamed Xia who didn't want anyone to take advantage of him, so he designed to frame me!

Jiang Yanchen said: "What's the matter, Master Xiazhuang, you explain it yourself." The tone was indifferent, and he didn't care whether the matter was true or not.

The owner of Xia Zhuang glared at the owner of Liu Zhuang, and said angrily: "Old immortal thing, why do you talk too much?" and said to Jiang Yanchen: "Lord Hui, he did promise to be obedient." But...... His heart is too greedy! The people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, but he dares to open his mouth! What do you say about the benefits after cooperation, the three of us will share them equally...... This is simply wishful thinking! How can his subordinates accede to such an unreasonable demand? I believe you, my lordship...... I won't say yes. ”
