Chapter 742 Interrogation

"Ganoderma lucidum..."

Xing Ji looked at the Si Qing Hou in front of him with cold eyes and said: "You are looking for auspiciousness, but I don't have Ganoderma lucidum auspiciousness in Yunzhou. I don't even know if it is real or a rumor. Why are you asking for such ridiculous reasons?" The king is forcing me? How do I know she can give you answers?"

It was pitch black all around, and iron fences could be vaguely seen stuck in the ground. They are densely intertwined horizontally and vertically, like a bird cage. There is only one bird in the cage, which is Si Qinghou. He was standing, but he was not standing by himself. Several chains hung him up, maintaining a position where he could touch the ground on his toes.

Xingji stood outside the cage, like a hunter struggling with an eagle, looking at the defenseless swordsman and asking in an emotionless voice what happened that day. This kind of unskilled interrogation is like a fishing line, fishing out the true feelings and truth from the mouth of a swordsman without reservation.

Si Qinghou's eyes were straightened, and he unconsciously responded to his question: "This was proposed by Marquis Baoying. She said that Marquis Gao Yuan can tell us the answer."

If it were a normal interrogation, this sentence would be about shirking responsibility and passing the blame to the missing Marquis Baoying. However, Xing Ji confirmed that in this case, the Si Qing Marquis could not lie, so he did not interrupt. , let the other party continue talking.

"Marquis Baoying said that the thing is indeed in Yunzhou, but it may not be in the hands of Marquis Gao Yuan. But Marquis Gao Yuan's eyes are the best in the world. She can not only see far and near, but also the sky and the earth, and even see Past and future. Even if we know nothing about Ganoderma lucidum, just ask her. She also said that Gao Yuanhou could even get whatever he saw. If she could see the auspiciousness, she could get it as soon as she stretched out her hand. So There is nothing in the world that she cannot find. The key lies in Gao Yuanhou. As long as she finds Gao Yuanhou, she has found auspiciousness, and then she will dedicate the auspiciousness to an indescribably precious person in exchange for extending our lives and improving our realm. Further resources. These resources are shared equally by everyone, and everyone goes his own way after the sharing."

Xing Ji frowned more and more: Gao Yuanhou can get it if he sees it, this is no problem, he knows Junhou's ability. But this ability is not something everyone knows. Only those who are very familiar with Gao Yuanhou's swordsmanship will know about it. Such as him. How does a small prince like Baoyinghou, who has nothing to do with Yunzhou, know?

Also, who is that indescribably noble person?

Could he be the mastermind behind this series of events?

"I asked her if Marquis Gao Yuan had this ability, she went to find Xiangrui herself. Why did she want to break up with us? She said that Marquis Gao Yuan didn't pay attention to this matter. She probably didn't believe Xiangrui. But we can go over and talk to her and let her Believe it and take it seriously. If Marquis Gao Yuan is willing to share it equally with us, then it will be shared equally among the five of us. If she is not willing, then it will be shared equally between the four of us. It would be better if there are fewer people."

Xingji snorted, knowing in his heart that these people were really trying to force or even kill the prince. It's bullshit to say that five people can share it equally. For such a valuable treasure, even one more person would be a burden, so how could one more person benefit from it? Moreover, the princes are extremely powerful. Yunzhou has a larger territory than others, and there are many masters under his command, who are stronger than those four combined. It's just that there is no help on the way so that they can be taken advantage of. Once the monarchs retreat, how can these four princes be able to go back and mobilize their men? As long as they can be discussed properly, that's all. As long as we take action, we must avoid future troubles forever.

If you are ignorant, you may not be able to think of this truth for a moment. These people are all princes and important figures who control the military and politics of a country. Who can not understand it? Of course Baoyinghou, who was obviously the mastermind, knew better.

"We asked her at that time: 'Where is Marquis Gao Yuan?' She said: 'Just follow me'. Then she really took us to find Marquis Gao Yuan. Marquis Gao Yuan was polite at first, and the four of us persuaded her Go find Ganoderma lucidum, move it with emotion, and understand it with reason. She refused at first, then Baoyinghou came over and whispered something in her ear, and she agreed..."

Xing Ji was slightly shocked, but then he could understand: At that time, the monarch was aware of the danger and chose to endure it for the time being.

For Gao Yuanhou, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, it is normal to temporarily put aside his pride and pay attention to current affairs in situations where his life is at risk but no righteousness is involved. It wouldn't be surprising even if he reached a deal with Baoying Hou.

"Marquis Gao Yuan glanced to the northeast, screamed suddenly, and his eyes started to bleed, and told us: 'No, that thing is too mysterious, I can't see through it.' Of course we were very disappointed," Marquis Baoying said: 'No, you didn't try your best, will you look again?'"

When Xingji heard Junhou's eyes bleeding, his heart was already in suspense. Hearing Baoyinghou's words, he became furious and hammered the railing hard.

Although he was close at hand, Si Qinghou showed no reaction to Xingji's actions, as if this person who could control his life and death did not exist, his eyes were straight: "Of course Gao Yuanhou disagrees, we also asked her to look again, As a result, both parties said they were in a hurry and took action."

"We thought that with four of us and him alone, we couldn't catch him? Unexpectedly, this old woman was very cunning. She knocked down one of them with a sneak attack. Although the remaining three of us had the upper hand, we were still unable to capture her. , I also got a small scratch. We fought from day to night, and at night, someone suddenly came to support her. An old swordsman suddenly came out and fought alongside him."

Xing Ji asked in confusion: "Who? Is it Commander Nan?" The Si Qinghou said: "We don't recognize him. Marquis Gao Yuan also asked: 'What are you doing here?' The old man said: 'I'm here to help you, Marquis Gao Yuan.' 'Then she stopped talking. There were two of them against three, so we couldn't be trapped. If Marquis Gao Yuan hadn't spent a lot of effort before, maybe we would have lost. In the end, the two of them broke out together. We gave chase. In fact, I didn't want to chase him at that time, but Baoyinghou said: "If they don't die, if Gao Yuanhou goes back, we will all die." We had no choice but to continue chasing.

"Their speed was very fast, and the visibility at night was not good, so we couldn't catch up. At this time, Baoyinghou suddenly said: "I didn't want to use this trick, so you can't blame me. "Suddenly he took out something and threw it forward, and saw Gao Yuanhou and the old man suddenly tilted and fell down at the same time."

"Since she fell to the ground, we rushed up to catch her, but her eyes lit up, brighter than the green eyes of wild beasts. We were all shocked. It is said that Marquis Gao Yuan was a master of swordsmanship. It was all on her eyes, and she would definitely have to fight to the death. I thought I would not get into trouble, so I stepped back and saw something suddenly flashing in her pupils. I felt something strange, looked down and found that on my hand The wound that was just cut has actually healed."

"But that's not her real move, it's just a prelude. Her move is still brewing. I felt the world around me twisting, and I saw her and the old man's figures getting fainter and fainter, as if they had been erased. This Of course I would take two steps back when the situation arises, but the two of them were bold. Instead of retreating, they rushed forward! Baoying Hou even shouted: "How can I ask you to run away? "But they all took a step slower, and suddenly something like a rag appeared from the air, wrapping up the people who were approaching, including Marquis Gao Yuan and Marquis Baoying, and packed them away. Then I felt There was a moment of danger, so I turned around and ran. Not only did I run, I also activated my life-saving escape technique and transferred in the air. Unexpectedly, halfway through the turn, I felt a pain in my back, and I didn't know anything anymore."

Xingji snorted and thought to himself: This is a coward. Because he was timid, he didn't get involved and escaped in time, so he could barely escape. Because of my timidity, I only looked at the surface and hardly knew the inside story.

It seems that the person in charge is Baoyinghou, but besides Baoyinghou, there is another... at least one person behind the scenes.

He interrogated the details again and again to confirm that nothing was missing, and said to the four Qinghous word for word: "You are also responsible for forcing the princes to this point! How can I tolerate you?"

After a while, Xing Ji put away the shady curtain and found that Tang Zhao, who was originally on one side, had disappeared again. He had no choice but to send a message to Tang Zhao first, and then wait where he was.

After a while, Tang Zhao turned back. He looked solemn and asked Xing Ji first: "Is there any gain?"

Xing Ji said: "Yes, I have finished the interrogation. I finally know why these guys want to embarrass the princes - it is not seeking revenge, nor is it for world affairs, just for absurd rumors and inexplicable treasures, a few princes, actions and stories There are just as many idiots looking for martial arts secrets to compete for the 'Martial Arts Supreme'. They are just tools for people to use as gunslingers. Why are there so many idiots in the world? What are you looking for?"

Tang Zhao said: "I'm going to find Marquis Baoying."

Hearing the words "Baoyinghou", Xingji was quite surprised and said, "How do you know her?" He had just finished interrogating the four Qinghous, and then he analyzed that the person who provoked the trouble was Baoyinghou. What about Tang Zhao? knew?

Tang Zhao said: "I analyzed it. I just went around the camp again and found that there were obvious traces of trampling in several camps, which were the most chaotic. I guess the people who made the decisions in those camps were not there. Almost all camps last night Camp roars have occurred, but if the princes are in charge, they can restrain the team with their strength. The ones that really collapse may be the ones that are unfavorable to the monarch. Then exclude the four Qing princes who have been captured, and then I tracked the group of princes who left first and asked them about their situation at that time. In the end, I felt that Marquis Baoying was the most suspicious, so I first collected her information and then focused on searching her camp."

Xing Ji secretly admired that he had a confession and Tang Zhao only had some clues, but he could still infer it to this point, and asked: "Did you find any useful clues?"

Tang Zhao said: "That's right. I have better luck. The camps outside have been in different states after time distortion. Some camps have been delayed, and some have been moved forward. Fortunately, Baoyinghou's camp is Time has gone backwards, so some things that were originally destroyed can be restored. This..." He spread out his hand, holding a thin piece of letter paper in his hand. The letter paper was floating in the air, not touching anything. "This piece of paper was originally burned in the fire of the big tent, and even the ashes flew away. As a result, time was distorted and restored to the original state. I think the thief couldn't have imagined it, right?"

Xing Ji was also very lucky. Originally, such top-secret letters would have been burned after being read, and there was no way they would ever see the light of day. But now they saw it by chance, just like how the Si Qing Hous were able to escape and be discovered alive by them. Same, it is definitely a kind of luck. This may be a coincidence that only occurs when you are lucky.

"So, what's in the letter?",
