Chapter 54 The Truth
Can't sit still and wait for death!
Jiang Ziyan carries eight kinds of strange poisons with him, each with wonderful uses. As long as Xu You relaxes his vigilance and allows him to take action once, he is absolutely sure to control Xu You, and then use him as a hostage, kills out of the prefect's mansion, and enters the Fengjie Army's military camp, and then he can turn defeat into victory.
"My brother, I advise you not to act rashly."
Xu You slowly pulled out the iron knife and placed it on the table. The smile on the corner of his lips seemed to be looking at the prey he played with and applauded, and said, "I heard that using poison has reached the realm of transformation. My body, hair, skin, and feet can be poisoned, silent and unrecognizable. From now on, as long as I notice where you move, I will cut it off. If you don't believe me, I might as well give it a try."
A cold sweat oozed out of Jiang Ziyan's back, and he tried his best to restrain the urge to take action. He still remembered that the ghost master said that Xu You's martial arts were very evil, and maybe he could really find clues before he poisoned him.
He believed Xu You did what he said.
He dare not gamble!
"Xi'an, when did you surrender to Xu You? I promoted you to the fifth-rank military deputy from Fengjie Army. I treat you very well. I sell your masters and ask for honor and favor with servants. Xu You will not tolerate you in the future!"
Jiang Ziyan planned to delay time and find another countermeasure. Xi An was the only military deputy who had not fallen into a coma after drinking tea. It was obvious that he secretly surrendered to Xu You.
Xi An smiled, completely different from his usual flattery, calm and composed, and said, "I am a sixth-rank general in the central army. Even if I am not promoted by the commander of the Jiang army, it is not difficult to be promoted to the fifth-rank. Besides, I am not considered to be grateful and forgetful..."
Jiang Ziyan suddenly felt something and said, "Are you a spy who Xu Youan was trapped in Fengjie Army?"
Xu You smiled and said, "The establishment of the Fengjie Army of the imperial court is a major event that affects the Jiangdong structure. I have to prepare for the future so as not to be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives."
Jiang Ziyan said: "But I have investigated Xi'an's background..." Shut up immediately after saying it. After losing the Fengmen for six days, he was like a blind man and a deaf man. He had no way to fight against the secret palace. If Xi'an's background was covered by the secret palace, with the resources in his hands, how could he find the problem?
So when you look back, you will find that before Xu You took measures to make a tough choice before he took action against the Six Days, he was so far-sighted that he was to withdraw from the secret battlefield of Six Days. He expected the enemy's opportunity to be the first.
"My heart, come and have a tea!" Xu You filled Jiang Ziyan's teacup and smiled and said, "The long night is long, we'll talk."
Jiang Ziyan sneered: "What are you talking about?"
“For example, what exactly are you in Six Days?”
Jiang Ziyan remained silent.
Xu You smiled and said, "You don't have to deny that I not only know Wuyouhun Xiang, but also know that the Ghost Master is hiding in the former General's Mansion. His pseudonym Wei Bingcheng was a sorcerer who wandered in the barbarian land."
Jiang Ziyan's heart was filled with huge waves, and in shock, he almost lost his composure. This time, his real mentality collapsed. He thought that he would be exposed to him at most, but he didn't expect that even the ghost master was exposed.
He was lost and sat there blankly, feeling lost.
Xu You was not in a hurry, drinking tea one by one. As he said, the long night was long and there was time.
"You have no evidence and you have delusions out of thin air, and the emperor will not believe it..."
Under the huge pressure, Jiang Ziyan's voice sounded like he was carrying a heavy burden, and he lost all his usual enthusiasm.
In just a few breaths, countless thoughts flipped his mind, but he couldn't turn defeat into victory. So he made up his mind that as long as he refused to admit it, there might be a glimmer of hope.
The sword light suddenly rises, as bright as a meteor.
"ah!"
Jiang Ziyan let out a painful wail, and his little finger in his left hand was broken, and the wound was as smooth as a mirror. The blood sprayed was instantly evaporated by the vigorous true qi. At first glance, it seemed like it had never grown knuckles.
The pain of the broken fingers is really tolerant. He gasped and said, "I didn't poison..."
Xu You smiled politely and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't explain it clearly just now. If my question is not answered satisfactorily, start chopping your left finger until you finish it."
This is a joke and an insult. Jiang Ziyan's handsome face became extremely ferocious and said with hatred: "Xu You, if you want to kill, kill me, and see how you explain to the Lord...ah..."
Another knife broke away with the ring finger in the left hand.
Xu You said as if nothing had happened: "I see my brother, a person who knows the current affairs is a hero. How can I explain to the Lord? That is the future. You are in my hands and don't want to suffer from physical pain, so I will answer the questions obediently."
After the cold silence, Jiang Ziyan suddenly spoke, saying, "Everyone knows that there are six gods and one ghost master in the six days, but people don't know that there is also a seventh God who is outside the jurisdiction of the six heavenly palaces. According to the six-day rules, the seventh God comes and goes alone, without a palace or a corpse, only the great God and the ghost master know his existence. They are usually responsible for collecting and protecting the six-day scriptures of the six-day period, recording everything that happened in the six-day period, never participating in any action plan of the six-day period, and at most only providing drug support. In this way, even if the six-day period is eliminated for various reasons, the seventh God can guarantee the continuous inheritance of the six-day period."
Xu Youqi said: "If you are the seventh God, then you obviously violated the rules and intervened in the six-day action..."
"About twenty years ago, there was a serious internal strife in Six Days. It was also this internal strife that directly caused the decline of Six Days from prosperity and finally you conquered Fengdu Mountain. Otherwise, with you, Xu You, how could you be the opponent of Six Days!"
Xu You didn't care about the incompetence of the loser at all. He only cared about the secret that Jiang Ziyan knew and said, "Who is infighting with whom?"
"The establishment of the Six Days is to fight against the three-day Dharma of the Heavenly Master, but over the past hundred years, the Heavenly Master has grown stronger and stronger, and the Six Days cannot find a chance to break through the deadlock and win. Therefore, according to the four Gods of the Heavenly Palace in the Sin Tian Palace, they think they should try another path, but the Great God of the Heavenly Palace in the Jueyin Tian Palace feels that they have accumulated a hundred years of strength and have reached the critical moment of accumulating strength, and should not give up easily."
"It is this disagreement of ideas that has created irreconcilable differences. Both sides have supporters. The second gods of Luoshatian Palace, the fifth gods of Siyuan Tian Palace support the Great God, the third gods of Mingwu Tian Palace and the sixth gods of Seven Non-Heavenly Heaven Palace support the Four Gods. They do not give in to each other, but because they have many years of friendship, they will not use force to resolve the differences. Moreover, this difference has always been controlled between God and has not spread to the outside world. The generals and wives of the five wounded officials in each palace are unaware of it."
"But who knew that the most beloved wife of the Great God suddenly joined the camp of the Four Gods, which completely angered the Great God and led to a break between the two sides. A big battle between the Chuiyun Peak in Fengdu Mountain made the winner respectful and the loser obeyed the orders. However, the Five Gods accidentally died at the hands of the Four Gods. The ghost master came forward to mediate, and the Four Gods felt deeply ashamed and left for six days without knowing where to go. The Great Gods did not blame the Mingwu Tiangong and the Qifei Tiangong as usual, but in private, they could not recover from the previous six days of their loyalty and unswerving intimacy."
Xu You suddenly realized that no wonder Lu Lingzi and Yu Daozhen were not old, but they were able to become the Five Gods of Siyuan Tiangong. It turned out that it was because the Five Gods died at the hands of the Four Gods more than 20 years ago, and the two succeeded later.
"After that, the great god's nature changed drastically. He drove his wife away from Fengdu Mountain with the young Shaodian. He met a bandit halfway through. The wife was tortured and died. Shaodian disappeared. It took many years before the ghost master found it in Qiantang Temple. The bandits had long been killed. As for whether the orders from the great god were made, it became a unsolved case and no one knew."
Kuquan, which is now Shaodian, has been pursuing the truth for many years. It’s so simple and cruel. Xu You even thought, maybe he didn’t know it would be better.
"After another ten years, the Great God made a mistake in practicing martial arts and could not vaguely suppress other Gods. Du Mingyu from the Seven Heavenly Palace looked at the opportunity and did not inform Fengdu Mountain. He unauthorized the incident in Qiantang, exposing his six-day layout in advance, resulting in heavy losses."
"Immediately afterwards, Lan Liuxiang in Mingwutian Palace ignored the orders of the Great God and attacked Beiguli, and almost wiped out the entire army. The fundamental reason for the actions of the two was that it was inseparable from the internal strife more than 20 years ago. They believed that the death of the Five Gods actually had nothing to do with the Four Gods. It was the Great God who used poison to kill the Five Gods to make a fuss, and thus forced the Four Gods to leave."
Xu You finally connected so many things that have happened over the years. When Du Mingyu started the incident in Qiantang, he did not see any effective cooperation from other heavenly palaces. Even if he received some support later, it was more like the hasty and helplessness that the arrow had to be fired on the string.
It was even more unreasonable for Lan Liuxiang to attack Beiguli. At that time, the White Thieves Rebellion had just ended. Six days should have hidden their actions and rested, but they had such a big appetite and wanted to capture all the Jiangzuo gentry. This was simply a madman's behavior. He offended all those who should not offend. If Six days of determination were in the world, how could he do this?
Now that I think about it, Du Mingyu and Lan Liuxiang were both for one breath, and would rather die for six days without a burial place than use the results to prove that the Great God was wrong.
"The Qifei Tiangong and the Mingwu Tiangong were defeated one after another, and the people around the six heavens were panicked. In order to regain morale, it happened that Sun Guan and Zhu Darong fought a decisive battle. Zhu Darong died and Sun Guan was seriously injured. The Great God decided to take a risk to kill Sun Guan to consolidate his reputation, suppress the gods, and gather the hearts of the various heavenly palaces. At that time, his injuries had not been completely healed, but he was unwilling to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He found the Seventh God and asked for secret medicine. He could increase his skills in a short period of time. Unexpectedly, he was still not Sun Guan's opponent..."
Xu You frowned and said, "At that time, you were not the Seventh God?"
If so, Jiang Ziyan should say that he found “me”, not that he found “Seventh God”.
Jiang Ziyan said, "I have never said that I am the Seventh God."
"Okay!" Xu You was too lazy to argue with him and said, "Continue talking!"
"Walking in the Battle of Jiaojian, Sun Guan was injured and was injured. He returned to Heming Mountain to retreat for three years before leaving the seclusion. However, the Great God was ill because of the backlash of the secret medicine. He was dying every day and his temper became more and more violent. Lan Liuxiang and others plotted to force the palace to welcome the Four Gods again, and led the army for six days. The Great God was helpless, so he had to find the Seventh God again, asking him to use a crazy medicine that could make people lose their minds and emotions, and only know how to obey orders, so he could control all Gods. The Seventh God refused, but was killed by the Great God who had lost his mind..."
Xu You remembered the kind of medicine used in Mahayana teachings and said, "What's the name of this crazy medicine?"
"Lock the heart!"
Lock the heart?
As expected, the medicine of Mahayana teachings should come from the Seventh God.
As for the relationship between the Seventh God and the Mahayana teachings, that is another story. It is not important to Xu You, and he is not interested.
"I am actually the disciple of the previous ghost master," Jiang Ziyan raised his head slightly, his eyes full of tenderness and admiration, and whispered: "Of course, he wants me to be able to replace the Seventh God in the future, without having to participate in those strange disputes in the world, and stay out of the matter, and only inherit the six-day tradition when necessary. Since the age of eight, the ghost master has taught me selflessly. Those times may be the memories I have most joyful and reluctant to leave in my life..."
A sad expression, a murmur whisper, a nostalgic past, a man's stubbornness and stubbornness until his death. Combined with that beautiful and flawless face, if Xu Youdao's heart was not profound, it would be difficult not to be moved by him.
This is why Xu You did not use the same trick again. To deal with Zhu Zhi, Zhu Li, Tao Jiang and others can be arranged in advance as behind-the-scenes witnesses. As long as Zhu Zhi’s confession is forced to be released, everything will be fine.
But when dealing with Jiang Ziyan, this trick hides a great risk, that is, the emperor’s feelings for Jiang Ziyan!
Not to mention letting the emperor's confidant hide in the dark and eavesdrop on it, even if the emperor heard Jiang Ziyan admit all his crimes with his own ears, it is all the same as whether the emperor can still have the intention of killing or whether he will kill.
Therefore, leave professional things to professionals.
Xu You doesn’t like to kill people, but he is very professional when he kills people!
