Chapter 234 Wu'an City 8. The next one is more obedient
No one spoke for a while in the narrow passage, leaving only the sound of footsteps moving back and forth.
The delay was not long, He Feng and Qin Sheng quickly caught up with the fleeing person. The man looked quite old, and he stumbled as he walked with the torch in his hand, as if he might faint in the next second.
"What's the matter? Is the passage too long and there's not enough oxygen?" He Feng sneered a few times, took two quick steps, and grabbed the other person's collar: "Brother, why are you running?"
The captured Wu Tong screamed, dropped the torch and ran away. He Feng instinctively grabbed his subordinate's clothes, but the other party easily escaped, took off the coat that He Feng had grabbed, and ran away quickly.
He Feng, who only had his outer shirt on: ...
"Am I that scary?" He Feng turned around and asked Qin Sheng, "Am I not kind and amiable?"
The general who could not lie shook his head expressionlessly.
To be honest, He Feng is very handsome, but the color of the flames around him is a bit creepy. The blue-purple flames shining on the young man's face give him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu of the underworld.
Qin Sheng thought for a long time and there was only one adjective that could express his idea, that is, living devil.
[Haha ...
[I laughed my ass off. The lying general had a blank expression on his face and his limbs were stiff. It looked like He Ge was holding a knife against the general's neck to threaten him!]
[The above description is absolutely correct.]
The comments were full of laughter, without any sense of crisis, and they simply ignored He Feng. They didn't notice that their He Ge was smiling but not smiling, and was already ready to mute everyone.
"I'm giving you face." He Feng smiled and banned all the members: "Why, if I don't ban you in a dungeon, you don't know how powerful I am, right?"
The audience was not convinced and the poop army prepared to attack, but before they could do anything, they saw He Feng turned off the reward function.
The audience was completely dumbfounded and could not even cry.
"Let's go." After dealing with these itchy things, He Feng felt relieved. He extinguished the torch on the ground and continued to chase with Qin Sheng: "I want to see where I am not friendly."
The passage led directly to an abandoned house. When He Feng and Qin Sheng came out of the passage, they just happened to see Wu Tong fleeing in panic.
Perhaps because there was no torch lighting, Wu Tong seemed to have fallen several times. And because there were people chasing him from behind, he had to stubbornly get up and continue to flee.
But how could he outrun the two youngsters? Not being caught up was already a result of his potential being unleashed, but now he was exhausted and about to faint.
"If you are caught, you will die."
The emperor's words were still lingering in his ears. Wu Tong took a deep breath and tried to speed up. Unfortunately, before he could take two steps, He Feng grabbed him by the neck.
"Don't run anymore." He Feng put force on his hands and pinched the back of Wu Tong's neck: "If you run again, you will really die."
The courage that Wu Tong had finally mustered was gone, and he was taken back to the abandoned house by He Feng with trembling legs. He fell to the ground, not daring to look up at Qin Sheng's eyes.
But just because he didn't look up doesn't mean Qin Sheng couldn't recognize him. In the corridor, Qin Sheng didn't see Wu Tong's appearance clearly at all. Now that he finally saw the appearance of the person who framed him, his heart instantly sank.
"Uncle?" Qin Sheng stammered, "Why is it you?"
He Feng exclaimed: "I know him."
"He is my mother's brother, my uncle Wu Tong." Qin Sheng nodded, his expression completely cold: "My mother raised him little by little."
Wu Tong was already in tears. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Sheng: "You can't blame your uncle! You can't blame your uncle! Your uncle has no other choice! We will all die! I will die if I don't obey their orders! Their methods are cruel! Even..."
Mr. Wu stopped talking halfway. He knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up, just like when he knelt at the emperor's feet before.
One glance from the young emperor was enough to send chills down his spine.
"You should know that I have a hundred ways to make you live a life worse than death, so you have to swallow everything you know, understand?"
"If you accomplish this, you will have many things. Don't worry, he won't have a chance to resist. I know him too well. No matter who it is, he will die."
"So, if you are discovered, you will die."
The cold memories faded away, and Wu Tong took a deep breath of fresh air. He looked up tremblingly and grinned at Qin Sheng.
"I was cheated." Wu Tong sobbed, "I was cheated. Run, run, run, run, run."
The sentence was spoken in a discontinuous manner without any logic. He was trembling and sweating, but in the end he gave a smile.
"Sheng'er, uncle, uncle is leaving first." Wu Tong bit open the teeth that contained the poison in his mouth and licked out the medicine bag inside: "It's uncle who is sorry for you, it's uncle, I'm sorry, elder sister! I'm here to see you!"
"What are you seeing?" At the moment when the poison took effect, He Feng bought a bottle of healing potion and stuffed it directly into Wu Tong's mouth. While he was drinking it, he didn't quite understand: "How did you hide poison in my teeth? I'm curious."
The effects of the poison and the healing potion took effect at the same time. Wu Tong began to feel severe pain and was healed at the same time. He lay on the ground, not quite understanding what was going on.
"Stop making so much noise." He Feng stood in front of Wu Tong with his hands on his hips: "Just say whatever you want to say. Don't make such a fuss. It's annoying to watch."
Qin Sheng on the side was a little dumbfounded. He stretched out his hand and then retracted it. However, when he saw Wu Tong on the ground, he stretched out his hand again, but he didn't know what he thought of and retracted it again.
"What?" He Feng was puzzled: "DJ? Playing discs?"
"What is DJ?" Qin Sheng asked back: "What is DJing?"
"Nothing." He Feng waved his hand. He lowered his head to look at Wu Tong who had recovered. "Okay, you're not going to die. Tell me now. I'm in a hurry."
After being fed a bottle of healing potion, Wu Tong lay on the ground, somewhat doubting his life.
When His Majesty gave him the poison, he said it was untreatable? It would take effect very quickly, so how come he was saved straight away?
Wu Tong glanced at He Feng quietly, then quickly lowered his eyes and pretended nothing had happened.
Oh my God, this guy can’t really be the King of Hell.
The person who held the important information didn't say a word for a long time, which made He Feng speechless. He took out the Dawn and poked it directly into the ground and spoke again: "Speak."
"Yes!" Wu Tong jumped up in shock. He knelt on the ground and began to blurt out what had happened and what the result was.
After all, he was not an important link, just a tool. He had only one role from beginning to end, which was to get orders, convey orders, and if the matter was exposed, he needed to commit suicide immediately.
"Just like the assassins in TV dramas." He Feng chuckled, "The kind who commits suicide by taking poison when they are caught."
Hearing this, Qin Sheng looked at He Feng silently without saying a word.
The smile on He Feng's face froze: "No, is it true?"
Wu Tong, who was kneeling on the ground, nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, the one who brought me to the dog emperor was a death warrior."
He Feng: ...
When he didn't say it.
"So, it was really his order?" Qin Sheng's brows were filled with sorrow: "He wants to kill me?"
Wu Tong didn't know how to start the conversation at the moment. He looked at Qin Sheng in front of him and didn't know whether to comfort him or not. In the end, he could only sigh.
"To be honest, I didn't expect that His Majesty had lied to us for so long." Wu Tong was a little sad. He wiped his tears and said, "It feels like he has become a different person. So familiar and strange. They even killed Xu Ge! He was the Prime Minister!"
"Who?!" Qin Sheng asked in surprise. He took a step forward with a look of shock on his face: "Aruan killed Xu Ge?"
"Yes, they said they found evidence of Xu Xiang's corruption. What a sin! Xu Xiang is so poor! I paid for his tea!" Wu Tong slapped his thigh and started crying: "Wuwuwuwu! My twenty cents! I will die before Xu Xiang returns it! Lingchi! I heard that he was cut more than 3000 times!"
Qin Sheng fell silent.
The A'ruan he mentioned is the present emperor Xiao Yunzhou. Back then, he, Xiao Yunzhou, Xu Ge and Xiao Jingzhen were in a relationship where they could put their lives in each other's hands.
At that time, Xu Ge was a student at the age of 8, a scholar at the age of 12, and a juren at the age of 15. He was the top scorer in the imperial examination. He was born in poverty, but he worked his way up from the bottom step by step, and came to the side of Xiao Yunzhou, who was still in the cold palace at the time, and entered their circle.
Later, he assisted Xiao Yunzhou in his bid for the throne together with Qin Sheng and Xiao Jingzhen, and was credited with the merit of following the dragon.
In Qin Sheng's impression, Xu Ge is very stingy. He would not spend money on anything if he could avoid it. However, such a person could use all his belongings to provide disaster relief and help refugees. Therefore, as long as you can bring an unjust case to him, he will dare to overturn it.
Such an honest and upright person ended up becoming a corrupt official and was sentenced to death by slow slicing.
Qin Sheng couldn't understand.
"Are you sure the current emperor is still the same as before?" He Feng didn't understand, so he chose to ask directly: "Hasn't he changed?"
"Oh! How could I lie to you!" Wu Tong looked at He Feng with disdain: "How could he not know if the emperor was replaced by someone else? How is that possible!"
"A man who was honest all his life has become a corrupt official. I fought desperately but ended up collaborating with the enemy and treasoning the country." Qin Sheng laughed at himself: "What about those who like to travel around the world and see exotic mountains and rivers? Wouldn't they be charged with treason?"
Wu Tong's eyes widened: "How did you know?"
Qin Sheng and He Feng looked at him at the same time, which made Wu Tong feel a little embarrassed.
"That's exactly what the dog emperor is planning. It's just that Wu'an City is too remote, so the news may not reach us so quickly." Wu Tong scratched his head, "But what I can be sure of is that he really wants to kill all three of you."
He Feng patted Qin Sheng's shoulder and sighed, "Is it because you saw him at his most miserable that he wanted to kill you?"
Qin Sheng did not reply. He fell completely silent, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
Actually, what He Feng said made sense. At that time, Xiao Yunzhou was kneeling on the ground snatching food from the dog and tried his best to save his life. He himself knew how miserable he looked, Xu Ge knew it, and Xiao Jingzhen also knew it.
People who sit on the dragon throne often put themselves in a very high position.
Now when I think about what He Feng said again, I feel that it is so true.
Isn't that what Xiao Yunzhou did? He put himself too high up and wanted to bury his past, so he chose to kill them all.
Xu Ge would not be greedy. Even a dog would shake its head when seeing his small shabby yard. Even if he was greedy, he would have nowhere to hide.
Not to mention Xiao Jingzhen, who just likes to travel around. It would be better to kill him than to ask him to review memorials.
If Xu Ge was still alive, how could he not stop the imperial edict? However, Xu Ge was already dead, and he was also dead, and in the end even Xiao Jingzhen would die.
All died, no one was left.
Since ancient times, the minds of emperors have been the most difficult to guess. Qin Sheng still can't figure out what Xiao Yunzhou is thinking.
"So did the plan to frame the general include a discussion on who the traitor was?" He Feng asked Wu Tong, "Do you know?"
"It's that girl called Huahua." Wu Tong thought, "The dog emperor said he wants to make Huahua a traitor. The evidence is ready. He has to kill Sheng'er and then make it public."
He Feng understood: "So the evidence is now in the capital."
"Yes." Wu Tong nodded: "It seems to be some kind of defense map."
"That's outrageous." He Feng patted Qin Sheng's shoulder. "He's not dead yet. The evidence we just found has already flown to the capital. Whoosh, it flew there in advance."
Qin Sheng lowered his head and said nothing.
Hua Luo has been his maid since childhood. She is very good at martial arts and was once sent by him to protect Xiao Yunzhou.
So is Xiao Yunzhou really trying to cover up his shameful past?
So what exactly is he?
All those times they spent together and felt emotional, all those promises, all the experiences between them, were they all just a show put on by Xiao Yunzhou for him?
Who on earth is he!
The aura of the person next to him suddenly changed. He Feng grabbed Wu Tong by the collar, stepped back a few steps, and watched Qin Sheng go crazy quietly.
The general's clothes changed back and forth between blood-stained clothes and ordinary clothes. His hair was sometimes scattered on his shoulders and sometimes tied together. A groove slowly appeared on his neck.
"Oh, he's going berserk." Huyan Wanji looked at the data of Qin Sheng's riot and said, "How should I put it? The general's current state can be summarized in a very easy-to-understand word."
He Feng was somewhat interested: "Tell me about it."
"It's what people often call a ghost." Huyan Wangji yawned. "The illusion has not been broken. The horror game system must have detected the general's riot and stopped attacking the barrier."
He Feng raised his eyebrows. He watched Qin Sheng in front of him constantly transforming between human and evil spirit form, until he finally stabilized and returned to his normal appearance. He stood there with his head down and said nothing.
He Feng sighed deeply and said soothingly, "Bye bye, the next one will be better."
But Qin Sheng, who was not far away, did not react at all. In the silence, a drop of water slid down Qin Sheng's nose and finally fell to the ground.
He Feng: ...
No way, you're crying?
It's not his fault! He hasn't even spoken yet!
