Chapter 154: Ming people don't speak secret words
"What's the matter?" Zong Zheng was curious about what the valley master and Xianjie said, so he asked,
The valley lord coldly refused: "I said that it is something she should know, not something you should know, so I won't tell you!"
Zongzheng knew the personality of the valley master, as long as she didn't want to say something, she naturally wouldn't say it, and she didn't like it if she thought about it, so she didn't continue to ask.
Both of them are extremely smart people, so before entering the dark pavilion, the two sides have already guessed seven or eight points about the content of the next conversation, the so-called 'Ming people don't say dark words', the two sides quickly opened the bright window, and said bluntly, Zong Zheng said: "I must be very surprised when you know the news that I am still alive, right?"
"Surprised, very surprised! However, there is something that surprises me even more!" The valley lord replied calmly, with a slight joy on his face, this slight joy made Zong Zheng a little unpredictable, obviously a person who wanted to put himself to death, but why did he know that he was not dead but still secretly happy.
"Oh! what else could surprise you more?" asked Zongzheng, with a clear hostility in his tone.
The valley lord did not answer Zong Zheng directly, but asked Zong Zheng instead: "Do you know the legend of the son of dragon scales?"
"Son of Dragon Scales?" Zong Zheng wondered, "I don't know!"
The valley lord looked at Zongzheng's expression carefully, trying to see through whether he knew another layer of his identity, but unfortunately, Zongzheng's expression did not give the valley lord a powerful hint, but whether Zongzheng knew it or not, the valley lord was ready, and since she decided to pull Zongzheng back to the pre-arranged bureau, she had already thought about all the next links that should be opened.
"Did you have scales on your body when you were a child?" asked the valley lord.
"How do you know?" Zong Zheng was a little puzzled, and suddenly thought of the statement of the 'Life of the Dragon Star' mentioned by Zhang Hongyan and the ghost-faced old monsters at the foot of the Shaolin Temple that day, and speculated that the 'Son of the Dragon Scales' was related to the 'Life of the Dragon Star'.
The valley lord suddenly pointed at Zong Zheng and said, "Because you are the son of the dragon scales, the strange son who bears the life of the dragon star!"
What the valley lord said was just as Zongzheng expected, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder that the valley lord had tried so hard to get herself to the Valley of Beauty, and he didn't deal with himself, was the statement that he dominated the world true?
"Even if I'm the son of dragon scales, but that's just a legend, do you really believe it?" Zong Zheng asked rhetorically, feeling that the legend of the son of dragon scales was very ridiculous.
The valley lord said leisurely: "In the battle of Diaoyu City, you used seven strategies in one battle, saved Wang Jian in front, and burned the Mongolian army's grain and grass at the critical moment, which directly promoted the reversal of the battle of Diaoyu City, and indirectly forced the death of the first Khan Meng Ge, and because of the reversal of the Battle of Diaoyu City and the sudden death of Meng Ke Khan, it caused the reversal of the Mongol attack on the Song Dynasty, and also caused the reversal of the war of Hülegü in the western countries, which in turn caused the civil strife in Mongolia. ”
Zong Zheng was very surprised by the things mentioned by the valley master, "How does she know these things?" muttered in his heart, looking curiously at the calm and relaxed old woman in front of him.
I only heard the valley lord continue: "Because of your appearance, the scattered martial arts factions have become the same enemy, and directly broke the grand plan formulated by the valley lord, causing many obstacles to Mongolia's attack on the Song Dynasty and slowing down the process of Mongolia's unification of the Southern Song Dynasty;"
Zong Zheng is a person who understands, although the valley master did not directly say the grudge of the various factions in the martial arts, but Zong Zheng understands a little, listening to the meaning of this sentence, he can already guess that the real culprit behind the scenes of the hatred of the major factions in the martial arts is likely to be the person in front of him, if he is not the initiator, how can he know the stakes, and how can he so easily transfer the attention of the major factions to himself, and eradicate himself through the hands of the major factions, thinking of this, Zong Zheng couldn't help but stare at the valley master viciously, and his heart was full of anger.
For such a scheming old woman who can stir up the storm without leaving the valley, Zong Zheng is angry, but also can't help but have a little admiration, perhaps, this is where smart people pity each other!
The two things that the valley lord said before were the harm that Zongzheng brought to Mongolia, and Zongzheng finally knew the reason why the valley lord wanted to put himself to death.
"Of course, it's also because you saved the king of Mo Nan in Ezhou,' As long as you are where you are, a push will stir up thousands of waves, as long as you are willing to help which side, it seems that which convenience will have a great harvest, in Diaoyu City, you are willing to help the Song people, so you saved Wang Jian, and then the Mongolian army grain and grass were burned, Meng Ke Khan was frustrated in the Song Dynasty and died; in Ezhou, you were willing to help the King of Monan, so you saved his life, avoided the assassination of the master, and successfully helped him to divide his troops to the north and get rid of the threat of the Southern Song Dynasty; these seemingly accidental events, but in the dark heralded the arrival of a strange son who dominated the general trend of the worldBelieve it or not, you do have the ability to dominate the world, because you are the son of the dragon scales, shouldering the mission of dominating the world. The valley lord continued, his tone lifting.
Zong Zheng pondered what the valley lord said, but he felt that there was really such a thing, and he couldn't help but believe in the 'legend of the son of dragon scales' in his heart!
"It's because of this that not only did you not kill me, but you also did everything possible to save me from those people?"
"Exactly. The valley lord replied,
"But, aren't they all working for the Mongols?" Zong Zheng asked, this question has been held in his heart for a while, since the Shaolin Temple heard Zhang Hongyan and the ghost-faced old monster sweat a mouthful, a mouthful of a king, there has been a speculation in his heart, today I hope to be able to get confirmation from the mouth of this seemingly omniscient old woman.
"I thought you already knew the situation in Mongolia when you planned for the king of Monan in Ezhou, it seems that you still haven't fully seen through the current situation in Mongolia, that's right, they are all working for Mongolia, but there can only be one great khan in Mongolia, but the king of Monan and the king of Mobei are fighting with each other and do not give in to each other, so I can only choose one side. The valley lord replied indifferently, thinking that his plan was disrupted by the Mongolian infighting, and he couldn't help but look a little sad.
"Therefore, you chose the king of Mo Nan, and you secretly chose the king of Mo Nan, so whether it was to save the king of Mo Nan in Xijiao Mountain that day, or to rob me at the inn the day before yesterday, the eight wolves of Zhongshan did not dare to show their faces, because, before the king of Mo Nan and the king of Mo North did not clearly distinguish the winner from the loser, you did not dare to openly help the king of Mo Nan, for fear that if the king of Mo North won the final victory, Mongolia would no longer have the place of your beauty valley. Zong Zhengxu continued,
The valley lord couldn't help but clapped a few palms and praised Zongzheng, "Clever, it's true, the profound plan is that no matter what situation occurs, even if it is the worst situation, you can still make benefits for yourself and be invincible, the so-called 'plotter should seek himself first'." ”
Zongzheng's conjecture was confirmed, listening to the valley master's words, but also deeply agreed, as a wise man hidden behind the Mongolian army, she was able to operate safely in the hinterland of the Southern Song Dynasty for many years, and she was so deep-rooted, if she didn't have the wisdom of several superiors, how could she do it like this, but for such a secret strategy, Zongzheng finally felt disdainful.
Thinking of the siege by the major factions that day, Zong Zheng still thought that this matter was related to Kublai Khan, the king of Monan, but now it seems that what Zhang Hongyan said is indeed true, the Beauty Valley is just secretly supporting the King of Monan, and he still wanted to use the King of Mo Nan to get rid of the control of the Beauty Valley, but now that he thinks about it, how stupid he is.
"What's the matter with the incense poison on Xian'er's body?" Zong Zheng's doubts in his heart were almost solved, and there was only one thing in his heart, that was the poison in Xianjie's body, and he could feel that Xianjie was hiding something from him about this matter, so he wanted to come and ask the valley master in person.
And to ask this, even if Zong Zheng doesn't ask, the valley master will make it clear, of course, on this matter, she also mentioned it to Xianjie, but the reason for Xianjie's ugly face is far more than that.
The valley lord explained: "She has actually obtained the antidote, but the antidote is only enough for three years, and it is only a medicine to suppress toxicity, and there is no cure!"
"What are you talking about? If you can make this poison, how can you not have an antidote?" Zong Zheng asked nervously.
"You are right, all things are mutually reinforcing, poison must have an antidote, but the fragrance poison is not extraordinarily poisonous, to tell you the truth, the fragrance poison in her body has penetrated into the bone marrow and skin, if you want to get rid of this poison, you can only be reborn, even if there is really this medicine in the world, but can she stand the torment of rebirth?" The valley lord replied with a flat face,
This kind of cold blandness made Zong Zheng feel that he would be involved with Beauty Valley again.
"What will happen if there is no antidote to suppression after three years?" Zong Zheng asked, his heart seemed to be blocked by something, in fact, he didn't want to ask, because he was afraid to know, but he had to know, and in the end he asked weakly, and was already mentally prepared.
The valley lord explained: "The incense poison itself is a drug that inhales body fragrance, and the fragrance is obtained at the expense of the essence of the human body, so once there is no antidote to suppress the toxicity, the incense poison in her body will quickly hollow out the essence of her body, and then she will grow old quickly, and what is even more terrifying is that the skin will gradually fester, and the whole body will emit a foul smell." ”
"You are really vicious, you actually used this poison to plague those young girls!" Zong Zheng couldn't help the anger in his heart, and couldn't help but curse loudly, his heart was already dripping blood uncontrollably, he couldn't imagine that Xian'er had silently suffered so much pain, Zong Zheng couldn't help but feel guilt, self-blame, and deep pity for Xian'er in his heart.
Since the day the Beauty Valley was established, as the highest-level spy agency in the entire Mongolia, it is no longer normal to use vicious tricks and means to control people, and incense poison is only one of the means。
