I chase corpses in Gaowu world

Chapter 21

Fang Ze looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's words somewhat surprised Fang Ze.

Qin Ji, the elder of Xuanwu Palace, didn't even know that Fang Ze had obtained the scarlet bead. How did Chen Yuan know about it?
And this happened just now, why would Chen Yuan know about it and be so sure about it?
Fang Ze thought about this, his face still looked like a flat lake and an ancient well.

"what are you saying?"

Fang Ze asked lightly.

"Hahaha... Fang Ze, you are really cautious. Even if you have an absolute advantage, you are not willing to show any flaws. You are very good at this and I admire you very much."

"But don't you know what I'm talking about?"

Chen Yuan chuckled, but the injury was affected, and he couldn't help coughing a few times, coughing up blood.

However, Chen Yuan remained strong-willed, holding back the pain and not showing his pained expression.

Fang Ze remained expressionless, listening to Chen Yuan continue.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and said: "Whether you admit it or not, I will treat you as knowing... Fang Ze, you probably know that the four core disciples of our Xuanwu Palace died in Miao territory because they went on a mission. That mission is to obtain a valuable treasure from the Flying Snake Cult!"

"That heavy treasure is a crimson bead!"

"Originally, my disciples of the Xuanwu Palace have acquired the precious scarlet bead and were about to return to the Xuanwu Palace from the Miao territory. However, they did not expect to encounter Master Baidu on the way and poisoned them to death."

"Miaojiang's Flying Snake Sect members passed these news to Xuanwu Palace. The sect master and Elder Qin discussed in secret, and finally decided to ask you Wanligui Sect to bring back the corpses of the four core disciples of our palace."

Fang Ze listened, and although his face was expressionless, he was convinced in his heart.

What Chen Yuan is saying now is all information that Fang Ze knows or speculates about, and it is completely consistent.

But Chen Yuan didn't say why he knew the scarlet bead was in Fang Ze's hands.

Chen Yuan coughed twice, coughed out a small mouthful of blood, and continued: "Fang Ze, you must be wondering, why do I know that the red bead is either in your hands, or in the hands of several other disciples of your Wanligui sect?"

"Haha, let me tell you, that's because in Miao territory, in addition to the four core disciples who died, there are also outer disciples of my Xuanwu Palace. On the surface, they are traders and hawkers, but in fact they are probing intelligence. Build channels.”

"The disciples of our palace who went to Miao territory this time were headed by Zhu Gaoyi. After he obtained the scarlet bead in our Xuanwu Palace, he used the channels of my outer disciples in Xuanwu Palace in Miao territory to pass the letter through flying pigeons. Here’s a note.”

"The note was very short. It said, 'The goods have been obtained and hidden in my possession.'"

"Haha... what is the product? I just said it, it is the red bead, and it is hidden in my body... There are only a few places on the human body where things can be hidden. Zhu Gaoyi will never eat it or hide it in his nostrils. It is even less possible to hide it in the posterior orifice, so the only place where it can be hidden in the human body is the ear hole."

"Outsiders don't know what the goods are, and they can't imagine that there are so many, and I happen to be in charge of intelligence in the Xuanwu Palace. When I saw the news from Zhu Gaoyi's flying pigeon, I guessed that Zhu Gaoyi must have hidden the scarlet beads in his ear holes. among.”

"As for Zhu Gaoyi, his death was too sudden. He was killed by Master Baidu in Miao territory just after he sent the letter. The message delivered by the carrier pigeon took some twists and turns, and finally the news of his death came later than them."

"Only I saw the intelligence note that Zhu Gaoyi sent before his death, and I am the person in charge of this intelligence channel. The outer disciples only know that there are carrier pigeons transmitting information, but they don't know what the content is, and the process of transmitting the message is inherently complicated. It’s possible that the homing pigeon got lost and the news didn’t get out.”

"So, I directly destroyed the message sent by Zhu Gaoyi. I am the only one who knows about the red beads hidden in his ear holes!"

Chen Yuan said.

After hearing this, Fang Ze's heart moved slightly.

No wonder!
No wonder Chen Yuan was so sure that the Scarlet Red Pearl was here in Fang Ze, but Qin Ji, the elder of Xuanwu Palace who had a higher status, seemed not to know the news.

It turns out that it was Chen Yuan who hid the information secretly, and there was exclusive information sent by Zhu Gaoyi before his death!
Chen Yuan had this exclusive information, so he could infer some things that Elder Qin Ji didn't know.

What happens next is easy to deduce.

Chen Yuan became selfish, and wanted to take advantage of intelligence to hide the red bead halfway, and blackmail the treasure he had learned from the flying snake.

Fang Ze looked at Chen Yuan and felt that this man was very scheming and thoughtful, and he seemed very ambitious.

Chen Yuan has some skills and it seems that he should not be underestimated.

It's just a pity that he met Fang Ze.

Fang Ze was living this information in his mind, but his expression remained calm.

"and then?"

Fang Ze asked.

"Then? Haha... Then, you people who have returned to the sect from thousands of miles away will send back the bodies of Zhu Gaoyi and others. As soon as you left, Elder Qin Ji sent the others away and started searching for the corpses."

"I searched Zhu Gaoyi's body carefully, and there were no scarlet beads among his belongings. When Elder Qin Ji wasn't paying attention, I checked Zhu Gaoyi's ear holes and found some traces of something hidden!"

"It's just that there is nothing in the earhole now."

"I know the purpose of their trip, and I have seen the information delivered by Zhu Gaoyi. After careful consideration of the other things, I will understand that Zhu Gaoyi and the others were completely unlucky when they met Master Baidu. No matter how powerful Master Baidu was, he would not know that they were going to Miao territory. the true purpose.”

"So the red bead must not have been taken by Master Bai Du."

"It was the Flying Snake Sect who conveyed the news of Zhu Gaoyi's death. The Scarlet Red Pearl was obtained through calculations from the Flying Snake Sect. If the Flying Snake Sect found out what was going on, they would be furious and take revenge on the Xuanwu Palace. However, the Flying Snake Sect kept everything as usual and even handed it back. The body was found, so the Scarlet Red Bead must not be in the hands of the Flying Snake Sect."

"Since the Scarlet Red Bead is not in the hands of the Flying Snake Cult, nor is it in the hands of Master Baidu, and it is not in the ear holes of Zhu Gaoyi's corpse... there is only one possibility for the whereabouts of the Scarlet Red Bead."

"Then, it's on the disciples of the Wanli Gui Sect who you brought back with Zhu Gaoyi's body!"

Chen Yuan said.

Fang Ze listened and nodded slightly.

At this time, the night has deepened, night owls are chirping in the forest, and some local birds are flying.

Chen Yuan's inference was very accurate and the process was quite exciting.

I have to admit that Chen Yuan's martial arts skills are not mediocre, he is very courageous, and his thoughts are very meticulous, and the results he deduced are almost inseparable.This person is also very ambitious and capable of bending and stretching.

Chen Yuan will become a character if he grows up over time.

It really shouldn’t be underestimated.

However, the current Chen Yuan is still just the defeated under Fang Ze, Fang Ze holds life and death in his hands.

Fang Ze clapped his palms a few times, clapped gently, and said, "The inference is wonderful."

"Oh? Did you admit it? The scarlet bead is in your hand?" Chen Yuan looked at Fang Ze and asked, staring into Fang Ze's eyes.

"That's what I want to say. Your deduction is wonderful, but unfortunately, the result is wrong." Fang Ze shook his head.

"No matter what the process is, I can tell you clearly that the scarlet beads you are talking about are not in my hands, nor in the hands of any disciple who has returned to the sect from thousands of miles away."

Chen Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this.

He looked at Fang Ze and asked, "Not in your hands?"

"What's wrong with my inference?"

Fang Ze chuckled.

"If you want to hear, I can give you some explanations."

"However, Chen Yuan, your purpose is not to talk to me, or even to save your own life. My explanation to you is in vain, don't you think so?" Fang Ze said.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan's face became dark for a moment, and his eyes kept flickering, looking at Fang Ze.

"Fang Ze, what do you mean? I'm so embarrassed, am I still joking with you?"

"What the hell are you thinking?"

Fang Ze smiled slightly and said, "Chen Yuan, you are a smart person, very smart."

"I admit it."

"However, just because you are smart does not mean that others are not smart and will fall into your trap."

"You are too confident."

After speaking, Fang Ze looked at the dense forest behind Chen Yuan, and then said: "You just said so much. It seems that you are betraying the information to save your life, but do you think I don't know your true purpose?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Chen Yuan didn't know if it was due to his injury, but his face looked a little ugly.

Fang Ze said calmly: "The inference you just made is very exciting, but you just missed some parts. Let me try to help you fill it in."

"Let's start with you noticing that there are no beads in Zhu Gaoyi's ears... Just imagine, what would you do if you didn't find the red beads in Zhu Gaoyi's ears?"

"If you are loyal to Xuanwu Palace, you will inform Qin Ji of this discovery. However, since you can hide the information privately, you are ambitious and want to monopolize the treasure, so you will definitely not tell Qin Ji."

"Even, you will get rid of the traces in Zhu Gaoyi's ears so that Qin Ji can't find them."

"As for you, regardless of whether your inference is correct or not, as long as you think so, the next step will be obvious... that is, find time to escape, come to Shuangtai Town to find me, and get the red bead you want."

"Then there is a flaw between this inference and the result, which you must solve."

"What?" Chen Yuan asked, his face even more ugly.

Fang Ze smiled and said: "Haha, the flaw is that, according to your reasoning, you have to be better than me in terms of force, or even better than me and a few brothers, before you can get what you want. Crimson beads.”

"Then the question is, can you do it?"

"The answer is, it's difficult."

"Your martial arts is not weak, to be precise, it is quite strong... But no matter how strong you are, it is impossible to defeat me steadily. You should know that my martial arts level is not low, and I still have the support of my senior brothers."

"And since you want to swallow up the treasure all by yourself, you definitely won't be able to get the support of the Xuanwu Palace."

"You don't have enough strength and you want to defeat me, so what should you do?"

"The correct answer is... to find foreign aid."

Chen Yuan's face became even more ugly.

Fang Ze remained calm and said, "You must overwhelm me with force, and you cannot ask for help from people in the Xuanwu Palace. If you still want to get the scarlet bead, you must find outside help."

"And this foreign aid's force will not be too high. If it reaches the realm of heaven and man, there is no need to calculate. Just go to Shuangtai Town to catch me. But this person's force will not be very low, at least it will be higher than you and me. , otherwise you won’t be able to defeat me.”

"I guess it's probably the eighth or ninth transformation of the physical body."

"You may be pressed for time and unable to interview him, so you can use some means to convey the message and ask him to ambush and intercept him on the way to Yunwuzhuang from Shuangtai Town."

"It's just that I saw through it halfway. You can't beat me, and the foreign aid is still far away from here."

"You seem to be betraying information to save your life, but in fact you are stalling for time, waiting for your foreign aid to arrive."

Having said this, Fang Ze looked at the dense forest behind Chen Yuan.

In the dense forest, some night birds flew up again.

Fang Ze smiled slightly and said: "Nightbirds are frightened in the forest, your foreign aid is coming soon."

"Is that what I said, Chen Yuan, Senior Brother Chen?"
