Since Lu Chen planned to stay in Bazhou City for a while, he naturally brought the old man Yangxuzi with him.
Although Yangxuzi is a charlatan, there are still some secrets about him that are worth exploring, such as where the axolotl came from.
At this moment, Yangxuzi had disheveled hair and looked haggard, and his white prison uniform was covered with dried blood.
His lips were chapped and his eyes were dull, as if he had been ravaged by life countless times.
Along the way from the capital of Da Qi to Bazhou City, the Jinyiwei people who were responsible for interrogation had already treated Yangxuzi well.
All those methods almost made Yangxuzi think that he had gone to hell.
Hearing Lu Chen's threats and questions, Yang Xuzi barely rolled his eyes twice, then forced a smile at Lu Chen and said, "You are amazing, you are very amazing. I am not as good as you! We are both from the immortal sect, but you are much stronger than me."
Bang!
A resounding slap landed on Yangxuzi's face. Lu Chen shook the blood off his hands and said, "You're still trying to play tricks on me at this hour. You're just a charlatan, how dare you compete with me? Didn't I expose you before and really make you think you could handle it?"
The slap made Yangxuzi see stars in front of his eyes. He kept muttering something, as if he was mentally preparing himself.
Lu Chen wiped his hands and said impatiently: "I'll give you one last chance. Where did you get the Axolotl?"
Upon hearing this, Yangxuzi's expression brightened up a bit. He chuckled and said, "So you want this thing? It's my sect's secret. Even if you kill me, I won't tell you."
"I'm not the only one in my sect. Your actions will definitely bring disaster to you and those around you!"
Sizzle!
The hot iron was pressed against Yangxuzi's chest, causing him to scream in pain.
Lu Chen spun the iron several times, and when it stopped making any sound, he threw it back into the burning coals and said, "Like I said, my patience is limited. You'd better seize this opportunity. Now tell me what I want to know, or I'll send you on your way."
"Hahaha, Lu Chen, do you think I'm a fool? The reason you haven't killed me yet is because you haven't told me the secret. Once I really reveal this secret, can I still survive?"
"Since I'm going to die anyway, why should I tell you? Just forget it. I'll take the secret to my grave!"
Lu Chen was not angry. He wiped his hands with a snow-white silk handkerchief, threw the dirty handkerchief into the brazier, and then slowly said a series of names.
"Sun Sanwang, Liu Genqiang, Xu Tianhen, Shitou, Zhuozhou, Luzhou, Fuzhou."
Just three simple names, three simple places, but when they are combined together, they have quite terrifying power.
At this moment, Yangxuzi, who had been pretending to be calm and resolute, suddenly lost all the resoluteness on his face as if it was suddenly blown away by a gust of wind and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
At this moment, his face was filled with unconcealable horror, and his eyes, which were wide open to the point of almost bursting, revealed deep fear and despair.
His body couldn't help but tremble violently, as if it was being suppressed by an invisible and extremely powerful force.
The mouth trembled as it opened and closed, trying to refute the other party, but in the end it only muttered incoherently: "You...what on earth are you talking about? I don't understand a single word!"
The corners of Lu Chen's mouth rose slightly, revealing a chilling smile. He shook his head gently and chuckled disdainfully.
Then, he said in a tone full of mockery and threats, "It doesn't matter. Even if you're stubborn and refuse to admit it now, what can you do? Let me tell you, they're already on their way here. If nothing unexpected happens, I believe it won't be long before you and your son are reunited! Hahaha..."
At the end of his speech, Lu Chen actually laughed unscrupulously with his head raised. His laughter echoed throughout the entire dungeon, making people's hair stand on end.
"The one called Shitou should be your youngest child. You probably haven't met him yet. But it doesn't matter. I will soon let you see how your own child was killed by you. I believe that in the underworld, he will definitely thank you!"
"No, no, no, you can't do this, Lu Chen. Don't let your family be in trouble. You don't want your family to encounter this situation one day, do you?"
"Haha, the idiotic level of 'don't let your family suffer' is as high as leaving your body intact.' I'm different from you. I'm the legitimate Grand Master of the Great Qi State. I truly possess all sorts of miraculous abilities. How can a charlatan like you compare to me?"
"I refined the Holy Grace Pill, personally went to the epidemic area to fight the epidemic, and led the people of the entire city to bravely fight the enemy. Which of these things can you do?"
"Compared with me? Bah, are you worthy? How worthy are you?" Lu Chen grabbed Yang Xuzi's hair and said, "Old man, you've done this job and still want to leave a legacy? I think you're getting senile!"
Yang Xuzi was completely paralyzed at this moment. He looked at Lu Chen in despair, no longer having the courage he had before. He said, "Please, leave me a bloodline. You want to know where you got the six-cornered dragon, right? I can tell you that I got it from a wealthy businessman when I was in Quanzhou."
"Quanzhou? Can you be more specific? Which part of Quanzhou is it? What's the name of that wealthy businessman? What kind of goods does he trade in?"
Now that things had come to this, Yangxuzi no longer intended to hide anything. He simply revealed everything: "The other party's surname is Bai. He's engaged in maritime trade and owns many ships. This axolotl must have been obtained by him in exchange for another maritime merchant."
Lu Chen was overjoyed when he heard this. He never expected that maritime trade had already developed at this time.
It goes without saying that among those sea merchants, some must have gone to the American continent.
Even if you are more daring, you might be able to get the nautical chart from that Quanzhou merchant.
Once I can get the nautical chart, can I start thinking about discovering the New World?
Thinking of this, Lu Chen hurriedly shouted, "Ma Tong? Where's Ma Tong? Come here! Are there any brothers of ours in Quanzhou? So, go right away and find a businessman named Bai in Quanzhou. I'll write you the specific instructions later!"
