Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 746
There was an unprecedented silence in the hall, only the heartbeat became heavier and heavier, and the sound was like a drumbeat.

After a long time, the Lord of Jiuyou Palace nodded and said, "You say."

Mu Hansha bowed his head and said: "This is not the first time this subordinate has discussed with the Eight Venerables. Before the Seven Venerables were killed, I went to pay a visit to the Eight Venerables. But he told me that the quota in his hand is full. If you want to transfer temporarily, unless I can afford a higher price."

"It is conceivable that everyone who can deal with the eight venerables is rich and powerful. Even all my savings are not as good as what they put out. So, I thanked the eight venerables and wanted to resign and leave.

At this time, the Eight Venerables suddenly stopped me, he said that everyone has their own weaknesses, and several Venerables are not like I thought, they are not good at oil and salt.The Nine Venerables didn't know each other very well, so he didn't know, but the Seven Venerables, although not moved by power and wealth, only liked to drink a sip of wine.If I can present a bottle of fine wine and take the opportunity to ask for it, I will most likely succeed. "

"This subordinate has served the Seventh Venerable for many years, and I know that the Seventh Venerable is good at wine. But with the financial resources of my subordinates, it is really difficult to produce enough fine wine to tempt the Seventh Venerable. At this time, the Eighth Venerable seems to see that Aware of my troubles, he took the initiative to take out a bottle of wine from the cupboard. He said that this wine was the Seventh Venerable's favorite back then, but he hadn't drank it for a long time because it was too extravagant. If I can offer it at an opportunity, seven His Holiness must be satisfied."

"Eight Venerables are high above the ground, and his subordinates are just a small Nine Serenity Holy Envoy. I really don't know why he is so generous. I dared to ask the question, and Eight Venerables answered me with a smile. Over the years, he and Seven Venerables The relationship between them is somewhat discordant, but when you think about it carefully, it is just a disagreement caused by different styles. In the final analysis, we are all colleagues and serve the Hall Master together. These private festivals should not be brooded on.

In fact, he has long wanted to reconcile with the Seventh Venerable, but he still couldn't save face. This time, he just gave the Seventh Venerable this bottle of 'apologetic wine' by my hand.Another reason is that he is grateful for my filial piety to my family and is willing to help me once. "

"The eight venerables are right and reasonable. Naturally, the subordinates will no longer have any doubts. The only thing they can do now is to be grateful."

Following his narration, the expressions of the eight venerables on the side were extremely strange, and they thought to themselves: "What the hell is this little bastard talking about?"

Mu Hansha continued: "I went back and offered that bottle of wine, and the Seven Venerables were indeed very happy, but they still didn't make a clear statement about the recommended quota.

I have been anxiously waiting for these few days, so I went to ask the Eight Venerables for help again today.He was just perfunctory at first, but in the end he suddenly said that there is hope for my quota.I asked more carefully, but he just smiled and said nothing.

I returned to the room in a daze, and soon heard the news of the accident of the Seven Venerables. I was afraid that the two incidents might be related, and I was very disturbed. "

"There is still half a bottle of the original wine left. So I took a sample of some of the wine and wanted to find someone to check it in private..."

While Mu Hansha was speaking, he took out a sealed test tube from his pocket, in which a small amount of liquid could be faintly seen shaking.Pull out the cork from the mouth of the test tube, and a burst of strong wine fragrance immediately spread out in the hall.

The Lord of Jiuyou Hall slightly raised his gaze, and winked at Chu Tianyao below.Chu Tianyao understood, took the test tube from Mu Hansha, stepped forward and presented it with both hands, and returned to the original position respectfully.At this moment, the faces of the Eight Venerables were as pale as dead ashes, and the arms tightly squeezed in the sleeves of the robes were trembling unconsciously.

The Lord of Jiuyou Hall casually lifted the test tube and hung it in front of his eyes to look at it. After a while, his gaze squinted at the Eight Venerables through the remaining liquor, and there was a strange coldness in his voice.

"The weight in this wine is really mastered just right. It is worthy of being a close friend who has worked with the Seven Venerables for many years."

In the end, every word is extremely cold, like rubbing an ice pick into everyone's heart.

The faction of the Seven Venerables looked at the Eight Venerables, and then looked up at the test tube containing the wine, feeling a little unbelievable for a while.Someone hesitated and asked: "Hallmaster, what do you mean? Could it be... that the eight venerables tampered with the wine and intentionally framed the seven venerables?"

Before the Eight Venerables could defend themselves, Mu Hansha kowtowed again and again: "This subordinate deserves ten thousand deaths for his crimes, and this subordinate deserves ten thousand deaths for his crimes, but this subordinate really didn't know beforehand, please find out clearly!"

The Eight Venerables looked at his performance of trying to get rid of crimes, and suddenly seemed to have figured out something.Furious for a moment, he raised his palm and slashed down at him: "You...you bastard who eats everything else, watch me kill you!"

Suddenly, there was a flash of light and shadow in front of him, and Chu Tianyao had already stopped him, raised his arms to support his attack, and said sharply: "Don't you think you are too presumptuous to shout and kill in front of the palace master?"

The Eight Venerables stared at him in a daze, their flustered eyes wandered over and over again, their eyeballs twitched violently, and their pupils finally narrowed into a line in despair: "You...you two...well, it turns out that you have already Colluded together! Do you think you can defeat me with this method?!"

The corner of Chu Tianyao's mouth slowly curled into a smile.That's right, this was his original plan, to get rid of the Seven Venerables—to let the Eight Venerables take the blame—to promote himself, and at the same time send Ye Shuo to the must-kill list of the Nine Serenity Hall—all of this was done. In his plan...

As early as when he took over the task of restoring Fangtian Baoding, Chu Tianyao knew that the eight venerables had long been displeased with his own limelight when the eight venerables taunted him face to face. Make trouble for yourself in the dark.

He has never been a person who sits and waits for death. Since the other party wants to plot against him, he should act first before he makes any move——

It's not that only the eight venerables will investigate him. In order to gain a firm foothold, he has already investigated every venerable and his cronies in detail.So he knew a long time ago that Mu Hansha was an undercover agent placed by the Eight Venerables next to the Seven Venerables.

Winning over Mu Hansha with the Tiangongmen examination quota was the first step of Chu Tianyao's "anti-bribery".You only need to turn him into a "double agent", stay with the Eight Venerables, and pass on information to yourself from time to time, so you don't have to worry about not being able to catch the other party's mistakes.

However, Mu Hansha at that time was only grateful, far from betraying the old master.Shortly thereafter, he even directly proposed to transfer the quota.At that time, Chu Tianyao realized that this was clearly a person with a story.When planning a military campaign, attacking the heart is the top priority. If you want him to be loyal to him wholeheartedly, this benefit must be given to the "real".

Using the intelligence network of Jiuyou Temple, he found out that Mu Hansha would transfer money to an account every month, and the amount was equivalent to more than half of his income.Combining his information, Chu Tianyao knew that although his family treated him harshly, he was still a dutiful son.Then, I fulfilled his wish and rescued him from that quagmire at the same time.

This trick really worked, and Mu Hansha was completely convinced by him from then on, and he really became a secret chess piece for him to stay with the Eight Venerables.This time, the Eight Venerables ordered him to poison him, and he reported it to himself immediately after the incident. As for the set of excuses to get rid of the crime and bite back, he also specially taught him by himself.

Apart from superiors, trapping old enemies, and killing two birds with one stone, the eight venerables were not wrong in their estimation of him, but the only thing he didn't expect was that he included him in the calculation.This only miscalculation also made him a fatal mistake, destined to be irreversible——

The smile on Chu Tianyao's face was fleeting, and then changed into a heartbroken expression, and said loudly: "Eight Venerables, I originally thought that you just refused to save the Seventh Venerables, but you didn't want you You even poisoned people secretly, you really let my little brother down!"

These words also spoke out the aspirations of the faction of the Seven Venerables, and a group of people nodded secretly.Taking this opportunity, Chu Tianyao struck while the iron was hot, turned around and saluted: "In the final analysis, this matter is caused by the recommendation of the Seven Venerables to transfer the mission, and the subordinates can't stay out of it. As for the Eight Venerables, he certainly committed a big crime. Wrong, but please ask the hall master to serve him for many years, so that he can be exempted from the death penalty, and the punishment will be..."

The eyeballs of the eight venerables almost popped out of their sockets, and the blood in his body was cold.On the surface, Chu Tianyao's words sounded like he was promoting the friendship of his colleagues and pleading for himself, but in fact, he was clearly reminding the palace master that what he committed was a capital crime.Once this proposition becomes a consensus, and in front of so many factions of the Seven Venerables, if you don't kill yourself, it will not be enough to convince the public...

In the name of loyalty and righteousness, in the name of disobedience... "Chu Tianyao...you are too cruel!" The Eighth Venerable sighed in his heart, and every word seemed to gouge blood out of his heart.At this moment, the general situation is gone, and there is no way to turn back the sky. In the end... I underestimated him...

At this time, the master of Jiuyou hall stood up from his chair and walked down the long steps step by step.

"Eight Venerables, for hundreds of years, you have used power for personal gain and amassed countless fortunes, and now you have intensified your efforts to assassinate your superiors. The evil trend cannot grow—"

Every time a crime was reported, the heart of the Eight Venerables kept sinking, and he felt that he was already an empty shell at this moment.

Finally, the Lord of the Nine Nether Palace spoke again, calmly.

"Drag it, chop it off."

The Eight Venerables suddenly raised their heads, their eyes had been turned into holes in extreme fear, and large beads of sweat kept dripping from their foreheads.The face is distorted, not humanoid.

"Hallmaster...have mercy...your subordinates are wronged!!"

Until he was dragged all the way out, the cry of weeping blood still echoed in the hall.

"Hall Master, do you really only believe in the Nine Venerables now? Your subordinates have followed you for hundreds of years, can't you say a few words to him? Hall Master, you have to be careful, Hall Master—— "

Chu Tianyao's eyes followed his figure, and there was an undercurrent in his eyes.Although he had won this battle completely, he could still feel an empty chill in his body.

I heard from many people before that his predecessor, the Nine Venerables, was like this at the beginning. Because he made a small mistake, he was directly beheaded by the palace master for public display.It was someone else yesterday, but tomorrow, it’s hard to guarantee that it won’t be me...

The folks are still "accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger", but working in the Jiuyou Temple, the higher the position and weight, it is like walking a tightrope at a height of ten thousand feet. If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces!

"Mu Hansha, Holy Envoy of Jiuyou, you are guilty of trading quotas. You have made meritorious deeds in exposing the eight venerables this time, and your merits and demerits are equal, but you are still responsible for the death of the seven venerables." Mu Hansha turned to the bottom, "Before the primary election, go back to your room and think about your mistakes behind closed doors."

Mu Hansha kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, Palace Master, for not killing me!"

"For thousands of years, no one has dared to offend my Jiuyou Hall." Looking away, the master of Jiuyou Hall slowly walked back to the throne, "As for the kid who killed the venerable in my hall, I will definitely..."

"—Follow it to the end!"

The boundless murderous intent seemed to transcend time and space, sweeping across the universe and causing turmoil in all directions!
……

After leaving the main hall, Chu Tianyao accompanied Mu Hansha back to his confined room.

Mu Hansha kept his back to him all the time, and when Chu Tianyao realized it, the patter of blood had already spilled all over the ground, and Mu Hansha's figure also fell down in pain.

"Why are you doing this?" Chu Tianyao walked forward silently, and saw a short knife stuck in Mu Hansha's chest at this time, but the blood-stained handle was in his own hand.

Mu Hansha shook his head: "The Seven Venerables and the Eight Venerables are all my benefactors... But, sometimes, too many benefactors is also a sin, and a great favor cannot be repaid twice..."

While speaking, he quickly pulled out the short knife and stabbed it again towards the other side of the chest.

"I'm sorry for them, the only thing I can do now is to accompany them to suffer together..."

Chu Tianyao sighed, raised his hand and put it on his back silently.He knew that although Mu Hansha was flamboyant on the outside, he was very affectionate and loyal to those close to him.He was able to repay ten percent of the kindness others showed him.Even the family members who regarded him as a cash cow, and the Eight Venerables who used him from the beginning to the end, he could feel guilty and brood over it.

It is precisely because of this... At the beginning that I tried to subdue him, I chose the route of "moving with emotion"——

……

A few days later, in the main hall, the Lord of Jiuyou Palace leaned on the throne, and Chu Tianyao stood behind him, pinching his shoulders and beating his back, serving him extremely thoughtfully.

"You have nothing to do to be courteous..." Hall Master Jiuyou squinted at him with a half-smile, "What do you want to do?"

"Hallmaster, it's like this..." Chu Tianyao carefully chose his words, "You see, there is a second vacancy in the position of the venerable. I don't know when the hallmaster plans to arrange someone to take over?" He massaged his arm, finally half-kneeled beside him cautiously, and then deliberately added: "Of course, this subordinate has absolutely no other intentions, just thinking about the long-term development of the palace—"

The master of Jiuyou hall thought deeply, and a smile slowly appeared on his face. At this moment, the beauty was so beautiful that the world was overshadowed.

But at the next moment, his gaze suddenly turned cold, he stood up tall, flicked his sleeves fiercely, and threw Chu Tianyao to the ground.

"Do you think that if the two of them are dead, I have to let you take the top?"

Chu Tianyao fell down half body in embarrassment. Hearing his bad tone, he didn't care about other things, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "I dare not!"

The master of Jiuyou hall said indifferently: "They are not effective in their work, and death is not a pity." Slowly turned his gaze, "As for you—"

Chu Tianyao was so horrified that he kowtowed again and again, his forehead soon bled, and his body shook like chaff: "This subordinate really dare not! Palace Master, this subordinate really dare not!!"

The Lord of Jiuyou Palace stared at him silently for a while, and finally withdrew his gaze.

"If you don't dare to be the best, then you will keep it in mind for me. It's not your turn to urge me to make a decision. Otherwise, I don't mind letting you follow in their footsteps at any time."

Until he had left, Chu Tianyao was still kneeling there, the blood on his forehead quietly slipped down the corners of his eyes, dripping onto the ground.His clothes were completely soaked in cold sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

He knows...he knows everything...

He knew that the seventh and eighth lords were all killed by my design, and he knew that I was thinking about the position of the superior... After all my tricks were calculated, it was just a blank sheet of paper in front of him...

In the past in the Xuantian School, I could play a few tricks and easily deceive the master, it was only because the master really loved me, even if he saw his mistakes, he was willing to pretend not to know, and continue to tolerate himself with love ...

However, no one will treat themselves like Master... The only ones who can be deceived by you will always be those who really care about you... Besides, if you make a wrong step, you will never be able to recover, this is the reality of this world...

It seems that in the future, I have to be more careful...
