Chapter 29: Where are the people who are so tough?
The door opened out of thin air in an instant.
Xie Yuchuan had a hunch that the family god was coming.
A familiar laugh sounded beside me, with a hint of mischief in the cunning. I couldn't help but laugh in my heart. The preferences of my own god were indeed very casual.
The longer he spent with the household god, the more he could feel his carefree and relaxed demeanor.
I don’t know where the immortal cave is or in which fairy mountain, which can cultivate such a carefree personality.
He noticed from her daily words that the household god didn't seem to like killing, but he was not completely indifferent to worldly things. He was afraid that the god would be averse to torture, so he apologized to the other party in advance.
The other party did not stop him from doing things his own way, and Xie Yuchuan felt a rare sense of relief.
He also didn't want to show his cold and stern side in front of her, but the situation now forced him to do something.
The water marks on the ground dried up quickly.
The guard turned pale and collapsed on the spot with fear!
Cold sweat dripped down from the top of my head and across my cheeks...
Snap!
Fall to the ground.
"Carving, carving, carving insects..."
Tu Huan was amused and whispered in Xie Yuchuan's ear: "Where are you from? You're so stubborn."
This time, Xie Yuchuan did not concentrate his mind to answer the god as usual, but sat upright on the chair and spoke to the void.
"From the palace."
Tu Huan heard Xie Yuchuan talking behind her and looked back at him in surprise.
Is this an attempt to...scare the other party?
As if she understood Xie Yuchuan's idea, Tu Huan couldn't help but cooperate with great interest.
The guard's face was tense, and his eyes were fixed on the person beside him. His gaze was vague and then forced to be firm, for fear that something strange would suddenly happen.
Seeing his expression change drastically, Xie Wuying sneered, "I thought everyone from the palace was fearless of gods and Buddhas, and unfazed by life and death. Turns out you're just like Ye Gong who only loves dragons. I'm really surprised you're so useless."
"This is all your trick to deceive mortals!"
"oh?"
Xie Yuchuan's voice was already a little hoarse due to fatigue and old injuries. When he raised the last syllable of his voice, Tu Huan felt a surge of electricity running through her ears, making her feel numb.
She found that she liked the lazy tone of Xie Yuchuan's voice when he was malicious.
Xie Yuchuan had originally planned to use his method to interrogate these people today, but since the family god had come... it would be inappropriate to use too harsh a method.
He just thought about it and turned around to have the others take him away for retrial.
After performing the "inviting gods" show at the Songjiang government office today, Xie Yuchuan felt that a few more miracles wouldn't matter. This place has always been crowded with people and gossip, so what you hear is not as good as what you see.
He gave Xie Wuying a look, and the latter turned around and closed the door again.
The three people, whose heads were covered in darkness, were startled when they heard the noise.
The stubborn man's face turned black and his heartbeat could not be suppressed, but he still refused to admit what he saw and felt.
The Xie family has no protection from gods at all. All these legends are made up by the Xie family members themselves in order to seek glory and wealth.
When he left the palace, his master said that the Xie family's tablets had been burned in a fire long ago, so there was no way anything unusual had happened. The rumors that had weighed on the royal family for more than a hundred years were completely false.
The scene of water dripping from the air is not uncommon in the martial arts world.
It was just Xie Yuchuan's interrogation method.
He has nothing to say.
People's minds are always like this. When suddenly faced with something beyond their ability and cognition, their first reaction is almost always subconscious "resistance."
Tu Huan smiled and lowered her head, only to find that the other party was trying hard to refuse to acknowledge her existence.
"Are these the people who wanted to kill you at night?"
"They are just rats and ants, not worth mentioning." Xie Yuchuan said in a light tone.
Tu Huan felt that Xie Yuchuan and the others had been here for a long time and had not returned. The situation must have been very critical at the time, otherwise the captain next door named Xu Su would not have been injured like that.
She walked up to the guard with a panicked look and half-knelt down to observe him.
The more stubborn a person is, the more deeply rooted his ideas are in his heart. If those inherent ideas are broken one day, what will follow will be the collapse of all will and belief.
It is also the time when a person is at his most vulnerable.
Tu Huan asked Xie Yuchuan, "How did you originally plan to find out the news?"
Xie Yuchuan bent his elbows and supported his chin, thinking for a moment, and said to the "air": "There is a method in Ji State to subdue people. I have seen it by chance, and the effect is very good." But the method is too cruel, and he has never used it.
It was not used in the past because when two armies fought, they only focused on capturing cities and strongholds to win, and did not take pleasure in torturing prisoners.
Now time is running out, and the other party almost took Xu Su's life, so he naturally will not let them go.
When Xie Yuchuan tore out the other party's identity from Xu Su's men, he understood that not only the emperor in the palace regarded the Xie family of the Duke of Huguo as a thorn in his side, but also other forces mediating between the palace and the court were also wary of the Xie family and would not let it go.
It is human nature to cut the grass at its roots and leave no future troubles.
Tu Huan looked through the torn outer garments of the other person and saw the golden inner garments underneath.
"Is he someone sent by the emperor?" she asked Xie Yuchuan.
Xie Yuchuan supported his forehead and said, "No."
This place is not far from the imperial capital. Xiahou Jie is a narrow-minded person, but he cares a lot about his reputation. As an emperor, he has already spared the Xie family's death penalty. In order to avoid suspicion, he naturally will not cause trouble around them. He stays away from them so that he can vent his anger.
Or maybe, I just want to see the Xie family suffering in the cold and snow, with no one to turn to, no one to help them.
Only when the Xie family is humiliated will Xiahou Jie feel happy both physically and mentally!
"After leaving Qiuguan, all the way north is full of good opportunities to ambush my Xie family. Why rush? The road is long."
He explained to the household gods the location of the northern pass.
"After leaving Songjiang, heading north for three hundred miles is Qiuling Pass. Beyond Qiuling Pass is a mountain range that is full of fierce bandits. It has always been a dangerous place."
Tu Huan listened and said, "What happened over there is an accident."
Xie Yuchuan nodded, "At this time of year, it is indeed legitimate to go there."
"Being killed by bandits is legitimate?"
"It's at the junction of three kingdoms. To the northwest, it borders the Ji Kingdom. Going further north, it's the middle of winter there. Not only are wild beasts often seen, but there are also constant wars and banditry. Life and death are unpredictable, and accidents are inevitable."
Finally, he rested his chin on his hand and concluded calmly, "It's the perfect place to rob and kill people."
Xiahou Jie wanted to kill someone, and he not only wanted the result, but also a good-looking posture!
Tu Huan found it irritating. She didn't expect that Xie Yuchuan actually knew about the future of exile.
Well...it's about what's happening in Songjiang Town.
Fortunately, Xie Yuchuan later answered her questions.
He never took his eyes off the nervous guard on the ground as he spoke, "I knew they were coming, but who came was beyond my expectations. People from the palace really shouldn't be in this place."
And Xu Su.
This is what Xie Yuchuan couldn't figure out tonight.
