country

The voice was leisurely and natural, and it was clearly heard by everyone in the arena. Xue Poye stood up, fisted with his right hand, and looked towards the voice, only to see that the voice came from outside the door.

The three main hall masters acted instantly, standing still in the shape of a finished product, staring at the closed door.

There was a sound of "quack", and the closed door was slowly pushed open. Uncle Shu was standing in front of the door with a smile on his face. Looking at the people in the room who were in a panic, he took a sip of the wine gourd and said with a smile: "Are there any spies among you?"

Xue Poye concentrated on guard, rubbed his nose and said with a faint smile: "Uncle Shu, we are discussing matters here, and you entered without permission, is it breaking the rules? You are a senior, we respect you, and you keep saying that there is a relationship between us. There are spies, but I don't know what it means?"

"Hey!" Uncle Shu sighed, "The catastrophe is imminent, and you young people don't know it, what a pity!"

"A catastrophe is imminent?" Xue Poye smiled faintly, and said slowly: "Uncle Shu, where do you start when this catastrophe is imminent? You stay in the tower all day, how do you know that disaster is coming and good fortune is coming?"

Lady Lv also frowned, with a silver needle in her hand, she stared at Uncle Shu, and said softly, "Uncle Shu, you have always been prudent, but today... what happened today?"

Uncle Shu shook his head, and slowly stepped into the hall, his old but extremely sharp eyes scanned everyone present one by one, and finally stopped on Xue Poye's face, and said slowly: "The surrounding area of ​​Hongyan Pagoda has been at least Surrounded by sixteen first-class execution hall and exhibition hall masters!"

All four of them were shocked, including Xue Poye, all of them changed their expressions.

It came really fast.

Xue Poye closed his eyes, took a deep breath, stared at Uncle Shu and said, "How do you know that the people surrounding the Hongyan Pagoda are people from the punishment hall and the battle hall? How can you be sure that they are not from the imperial court?"

Uncle Shu went to an empty chair and sat down, and said leisurely: "In this world, I have gone through 61 cold and heat, if a person has lived for such a long time, and can live well, he must have some skills .”

"I believe it!" Xue Poye sat down on the chair opposite Uncle Shu, squinting his eyes and said without looking at the three hall masters under him, "Uncle Shu, now that the enemy is attacking, what should we do in your opinion?" ? You are well-informed, we are all juniors, and we should obey your orders."

Uncle Shu laughed and said: "Master, you can speak well and respect me so much, the old man should be happy, but the old man has to ask, who brought these besiegers here? The Hongyan Pagoda It is a place of extreme secrecy, it is impossible for outsiders to know it, if they can find it, maybe we have spies here?"

Xue Poye remained calm, staring at Uncle Shu, and asked leisurely: "Uncle Shu means that one of the four of us is a spy?"

Uncle Shu laughed and drank his wine, but didn't speak.

The three hall masters frowned slightly, and couldn't help looking at the others. In the hearts of the three, if they were really hunted and killed by the torture hall outside, and they were able to find this place, then there must have been a traitor.

"Uncle Shu, you old man is so insightful, in your opinion, who among the four of us is the spy?" Xue Poye asked while rubbing his nose.

Uncle Shu fixed his eyes on Qian Hong, and said with a smile: "Master Qian, the Sunflower Boy, is currently in charge of the affairs of the Hangzhou sub-helm. If the people in the punishment hall want to get in touch with the Hangzhou sub-helm, they must start with him. Do you think it is possible for him?" Is it a spy?"

Xue Poye didn't even look at Qian Hong, but just stared at Uncle Shu, and said with a faint smile, "Although Hall Master Qian acts a little impulsively, but he is firm and strong, and he values ​​love and righteousness. Good man, of course he won't be."

The corners of Qian Hong's eyes twitched, he turned his head and glanced at Xue Poye, his eyes were full of gratitude.

Uncle Shu chuckled, looked at Lady Lv again and said, "A woman always has a lot of secrets, and their thoughts are not something a man can understand. You have been with her for a while, and you should understand that this beautiful woman is absolutely It won't be an ordinary character, is it possible that she is a spy?"

Xue Poye shook his head, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face, and said softly: "She may have betrayed me for some compelling reasons, but she will never betray Hangzhou branch, because no matter how cunning and clever she is, she Her heart is always kind, she...is a good woman!"

The green lady's delicate body trembled, and she gently closed her eyes.

Uncle Shu still maintained a smiling face, and sighed: "It seems that you are really affectionate and righteous to this girl." Turning to Pan Silang, he sighed: "If the two of them are unlikely, what about this one? Shiro, the means of tracking and assassination is top-notch, and this skill is what the criminal hall needs most. With Pan Silang's skill, he will definitely be able to get a good status in the criminal hall. No matter what kind of identity it is, it must be better than one Is it possible that the head of the sub-rudder has already been bought by the punishment hall? After thinking about it, the old man is most likely to be a spy among them. I am afraid that this hidden head of the hall is Pan. What does the head of the rudder think? "

Xue Poye pondered, but looked at Pan Silang, and said slowly: "He said you are a spy?"

"Yes." Pan Silang said calmly, "He said I was a spy."

"So are you?"

"I don't care what I say, it's up to you to be sure." Pan Silang clenched the strange weapon with both hands, his voice indifferent: "If you say I am, I will use my bloodthirsty stick to plunge into my chest. If you say I'm not, I'll drive my bloodthirsty stick into his chest."

Xue Poye looked at Uncle Shu with a wry smile, spread his hands and said, "Uncle Shu, this kid said that, do you think he is a spy?"

Uncle Shu chuckled twice, his eyes flashed across Pan Silang's face with incomparable sharpness, he shook his head and said, "Master, did you hear what he said? He said he was going to insert a bloodthirsty stick into my chest. This young man is right The old man is so disrespectful, it seems that there is something wrong with his conduct."

Xue Poye laughed and said, "Actually, I understand what he said."

"Oh!"

"He just thinks that if he is not a spy, then the spy can only be you, Uncle Shu. He has always been merciless to spies." Xue Poye's face gradually turned cold, and his sharp eyes were fixed on Uncle Shu's face. Go up, and said lightly: "Why? Uncle Shu, you are already at this age, what are you planning? Why did you betray us?"

The three hall masters were not surprised. They have been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and their judgment ability will definitely not be too weak. So after Xue Poye said this, the three of them moved their bodies in a very tacit understanding, forming horns, and will sit on the chair. Uncle Shu on the road surrounded the middle.

Uncle Shu looked very relaxed. He took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "The rudder seems to have confirmed that I am a spy? As you said, I am an old man, and I am so old , one foot is about to step into the coffin, why do you want to buy someone? Why can't this spy be you, the helmsman?"

Xue Poye laughed and said: "Because I said I am not, so I am not."

Uncle Shu sighed, "What an arrogant young man."

"Uncle Shu, you should know that your tricks of sowing discord will certainly not have any effect on us." Xue Poye's voice became cold: "You are under the jurisdiction of the Hangzhou sub-rudder, and you are my Xue Poye's subordinate. Now you are betraying your companions. , do you think you can leave the tower alive?"

Uncle Shu's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, and his eyes became very dull, quietly staring at the wine gourd in his hand, the inner hall was silent for a while, and the atmosphere was indescribably strange.

"More than ten years ago, Yang Yao was only the head of the battle hall. At that time, I was on a par with him. As the head of the punishment hall, I respected him and him as the 'Qinglian Twin Demons' in the world." When he was extremely stiff, Uncle Shu's extremely confused voice suddenly sounded slowly, as if he wanted to say something.

Several people were a little strange, and didn't understand why Uncle Shu was still talking nonsense at this time. For Xue Poye, it was the first time he heard the name "Yang Yao", but he didn't know who it was.

He was just a little surprised, he didn't expect that the old man watching the building turned out to be a well-known figure back then, even the former head of the punishment hall.

"Everyone knows that Qinglianzhao is divided into the inner five halls and the outer five halls. You know the outer five halls. The inner five halls, in addition to the edict hall, the war hall, and the punishment hall, also have the golden hall for managing money and the special training hall. The killing hall of elite soldiers!" Uncle Shu looked lonely and indifferent on his face, and said slowly: "More than ten years ago, the situation of Wutang was very different from today's. The most powerful halls of the five halls, and the battle hall and the punishment hall, because of the killing by officers and soldiers, have become the weakest halls of the five halls. Brothers in the meeting have always looked down on them, and no one would want to join these two halls. "

"When I took over the punishment hall, the punishment hall was sparsely staffed, in a mess, and the order was chaotic." Uncle Shu took a sip of wine, gently wiped the traces of wine from his mouth, and continued: "If someone violates the rules of the other halls, , not only will not take the initiative to confess the crime, even if we send someone to call, it will not come. In their eyes, the execution hall is just a hall with the same decoration, and it is useless. Even if we arrest people, we have not yet For punishment, his companions will also arrive, indiscriminately, forcefully take people away, escape the punishment, and completely ignore the people in our torture hall."

"If the power is strong, the crowd will embrace it, and if the power is weak, the crowd will bully it!" Xue Poye said calmly.

Uncle Shu glanced at Xue Poye, and laughed, the laughter turned out to be indescribably bitter. After the laughter stopped, he continued: "At that time, Yang Yao and I were in the same disease, and his battle room It will definitely not be better than me. Zhantang is in charge of foreign wars, not only has to face the pursuit of the court, but also faces provocations from other guild forces. At that time, Zhantang has no talents available, and everything It’s a waste of time.”

"Then the chief helmsman just let it go?" Xue Poye asked.

"The Chief Steward?" Uncle Shu's eyes were blurred, as if he was thinking about something, and he said after a while: "The Chief Steward at that time should be Han Changbang. His biggest hobby is to collect the world's peerless weapons, and he is really negligent about helping him. At the extreme, at that time, he even wanted to disband the Battle Hall and the Criminal Hall, and leave the three halls, but this muddled suggestion was eventually rejected by everyone. Five halls, suddenly there are two halls missing, so it can't be regarded as Qinglian photo."

"At that time, Yang Yao and I were brothers in love. We encouraged each other in adversity. We even escaped from the black dogs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and rescued each other several times. It was a life-threatening friendship." Uncle Shu A self-deprecating smile appeared on his face: "At that time, I thought that I had found a true friend who could entrust my life. When the situation stabilized, I would reorganize the torture hall and strike mercilessly. My methods were at Qinglian at that time. There are not many people who can catch up with Zhao, so many gangsters who have committed the most crimes, I personally took action. At the beginning, I was attacked by the enemy, and some people even said that I abused my personal power and tortured my fellow sects. They wanted to expel me from Qinglian Zhao, hehe, now that I think about it, if I really left at that time, there would be no such things behind."

Xue Poye and the others listened to him quietly, firstly because they were curious, but most importantly, they understood that Uncle Shu's words were by no means nonsense. Naturally, these words had his purpose, so he let him say them. , but everyone is cautious and alert, and if Uncle Shu makes any changes, they will take action to stop him.

"Just when everyone wanted to expel me from Qinglianzhao, and even Han Changbang wanted to expel me, it was Yang Yao who stepped forward and made it clear for me in front of Han Changbang and other hall masters, stating the importance of the punishment hall, Once the Ministry of Punishment is weak, there will be no system of rewards and punishments for the entire Qinglianzhao. In this way, the Qinglianzhao congregation must not be restrained. If things go on like this, it will be a fatal disaster for the entire Qinglianzhao. He said a lot, and in the end, Relying on his outstanding eloquence, he actually persuaded that group of people vividly, and I was able to stay, and even got everyone's consent, and I was able to punish the convicted gang members fairly and honestly with the unique means of the punishment hall."

"Since then, I have really started my hands and feet. First, I cleared out some incompetent people in the punishment hall. Through hard work, I got some honest helpers. As for the gang punishment, it is fair and honest, not bad at all. I even re-enacted the gang's criminal regulations. , each item was formulated after careful consideration. Although it was still opposed at the beginning, because Yang Yao firmly supported me, and I severely punished several sub-rulers, the entire punishment hall really entered the right track. At this point, Uncle Shu smiled, it was a smile from the heart, and that glorious life experience will never be easily forgotten.

Although Xue Poye knew that Uncle Shu had betrayed the Hangzhou sub-helm today, he still respected what he did back then.

"Yang Yao's battle hall is also working hard to govern. Not only has it grown gradually, but it has also assassinated more than a dozen important officials of the imperial court in a row, and even wiped out more than a dozen large and small gangs around it. The power has greatly increased, so Yang Yao and I have gradually been called the "Qinglian Twin Demons", and the Battle Hall and the Criminal Hall have gradually overshadowed the other halls, known as the two most powerful halls of Qinglianzhao. He and Yang Yao are even more loyal to Jinlan, and do their best to fight against Chu and restore Shu." A sneer appeared on Uncle Shu's face: "After two years like this, the actual control power of Qinglianzhao has been in Yang Yao's hands, and Not only did Han Changbang's prestige plummet in the meeting because of playing with things, his martial arts also fell behind Yang Yao."

Xue Poye frowned, this is the so-called high achievement, could it be that Yang Yao was assassinated because of this, and what Uncle Shu did today was just to avenge his sworn brother?

He went to look at the other three people, only to see the three hall masters looked solemnly, staring at Uncle Shu intently.

Uncle Shu glanced at the crowd slightly out of the corner of his eyes, sneered twice, and continued: "Do you think that Yang Yaogong is so powerful that someone must plan to harm him?"

Xue Poye was stunned, unexpectedly Uncle Shu had guessed his own thoughts, he admired Uncle Shu's penetrating insight, and replied indifferently: "We are listening to you, or...we are listening to your explanation, so that you can say Saying these words, maybe it will make you feel better, because you always need a reason to betray your companions."

The corners of Uncle Shu's mouth twitched, he took a sip of wine, and murmured: "My reason? Hehe, maybe." There is no one in the limelight, so naturally some people will be dissatisfied, but Yang Yao is cunning, if you want to harm him, hehe, I'm afraid it will be harder than going to heaven."

"Others can't harm him, but he can manipulate other people's life and death. He has become more and more powerful, and even began to spy on the position of the chief helmsman, and even sent people to persuade Han Changbang to abdicate and make way for the virtuous." Uncle Shu's eyes showed a ray of resentment, He said coldly: "Although Han Changbang is playing with things and loses his ambitions, he has passed the test before ascending to the position of chief helmsman. He still has some abilities. It is absolutely impossible for him to give up his position."

The expressions of the three hall masters were even more serious. Qian Hong wanted to speak several times, but he finally suppressed his emotions and did not say it out loud. Xue Poye, with his hands behind his back, secretly circulated the energy in his body and was ready to strike.

No matter what reason Uncle Shu has to betray everyone today, he is still a spy. Xue Poye has always only had three words for those who betrayed him.

No mercy!

What's more, even if he breaks the precepts and shows no mercy, Uncle Shu and the people ambushing around Hongyan Pagoda will never show mercy. When Uncle Shu finishes explaining his reasons, a bloody battle is inevitable.

Uncle Shu's voice was much louder: "Yang Yao sent people to try and persuade him several times but failed, and finally he was going to do it. That time he chose several confidant generals to go to the altar together, and he wanted to personally persuade Han Changbang to give up his position. He made careful arrangements in advance, and even the guards guarding the altar were cheated by him, leaving only Han Changbang in the entire altar. Originally, I would not know what happened after that night, but that night I had a whim, I don’t know why I also went to the altar, maybe because I killed too many people, I wanted to go to the altar to calm down, haha...I happened to see what happened that night.”

"Do you know?" Uncle Shu glanced at the four of them, and said word by word: "Yang Yao, your chief helmsman, got his position, but he was extremely dirty. He killed the former chief helmsman with his own hands. Han Changbang snatched it!"

"Shut up!" Qian Hong couldn't help shouting: "You are talking nonsense, you are spreading rumors and slandering."

"Rumors? Slander?" Uncle Shu laughed and said, "For those of you who are about to die, I don't need to spend so long telling lies that are not true. I just want you to understand that the chief helmsman you have always loyal to , that pious guy is the most despicable and vicious man in the whole world."

"On the night of the altar, he led people to kill Han Changbang and his master!"
