Chapter 307

Fang Xie's dagger stayed an inch outside Lu Ou's heart, and his hand was so stable. The dagger stopped in mid air without shaking at all, as if the handle were inserted into a rock. But those hands are not rocks, not fixed. As long as he gently presses down, the dagger will pierce the land gull's skin and poke into his heart. If the hand holding the knife twists back and forth once or twice, the heart will break.

"Now answer my first question."

Fang Xie squatted beside Lu ou and asked, "how many times have the people of the Buddha sect visited Luo Yao over the years? What did they talk about and how long did they stay? Say as much as they know. Don't doubt my judgment and the news I already know. You have only a blink of an eye to die."

"I..."

Lu Ou's eyes flickered: "I don't know much. You should know that I haven't been in the general's mansion for a long time."

"But you and rowan are close."

Fang Xie said, "so you know more than those who have been in Luoyao mansion for a long time. That's why I came to you. In fact, when I was in the imperial tea move, I wanted to force you to answer these questions. Unfortunately, ye Jinnan came too fast."

"Come on, broken and incomplete life is also life."

Fang Xie said patiently, "and people who are incomplete may also become masters."

Lu Ou swallowed hard, spitting, and his Adam's apple fluctuated up and down.

"I know twice, but I don't know the identity of the Buddha sect, because the major general only mentioned it to me occasionally. Believe me... If the major general wouldn't say it, I wouldn't dare to ask myself. The young general just mentioned it when drinking one day. In recent years, Buddhist people have dared to come to the senior general. But the young general doesn't know what they talked about, because the senior general When the army met with the people of the Buddha sect, there was no one around. And... Besides, few people knew about it except the young general. "

"General Shao speculates that it seems that the people of Buddhism intend to preach in the southwest and want to accommodate the senior general. But you also know your Majesty's disgust with the people of Buddhism. How can the senior general allow the people of Buddhism to base in the southwest?"

"You really don't know the identity of the Buddhist who went to see Luo Yao?"

"I really don't know... But I guess my status is not low. It's not easy for ordinary people to see the general."

"Well"

Fang Xie nodded: "even if you answer honestly, it's almost the same as the news I already know. The second question is about those barbarian wizards. How many wizards are there in Luo Yao's house?"

"I know two... It seems that when the general ordered to kill several barbarian tribes, these two people came to the door by themselves. They said they could help the general and work for the general. But they asked the general not to kill all the people of those tribes. The general left them two, but still ordered to kill all the young men of those tribes, aged 10 to 60 None of the following men left. "

Fang Xie said in a voice, "this is in line with Luo Yao's temperament."

He looked at Lu ou and asked, "do you know what Luo Yao had done to raise those Wizards?"

"That's not true!"

Lu Ou said, "although I haven't been in the general's house for a long time, I only met the two barbarians and wizards a few times. It seems that they just live in another courtyard behind the general's house, rarely go out and walk around, and I've never heard that the general asked them to do anything."

"When did Luo Yao take in those Wizards?"

"I don't know... I really don't know..."

Fang Xie shook his head reluctantly: "you were honest just now, but now you are not honest at all. I told you I know a lot about Luo Yao. I don't necessarily know what you said."

His dagger suddenly crossed, and a Chi left a deep wound on Lu Ou's left leg. Soon, blood came out of the wound like a stream. The solution of this Sabre was very accurate. It only hurt Lu Ou's artery.

"Ah"

Lu Ou exclaimed and shrunk back: "I really don't know."

Fang Xie sighed, took out the rope from the deer skin bag at his waist, tied the Lu gull, and then hung it on the branch of a big tree. The bound land gulls swayed in mid air, and the blood on their thighs kept dripping down.

Fang Xie pulled out a thin bamboo tube from his skin bag, sharpened it at one end, then went to Lu ou, looked up at Lu ou and said seriously, "I was friendly with that knife just now because you answered your first question fairly honestly. Now I ask you again, when did Luo Yao take in those barbarians and Wizards?"

"I..."

Lu Ou hesitated, but Fang Xie didn't hesitate.

He poked the thin bamboo tube into the thigh of the land gull, and accurately plunged it into the artery. Soon, blood flowed down the bamboo pipe, pattering and dyeing several grass on the ground red.

"If I don't pull out this bamboo pipe, it is estimated that you will die because of excessive blood loss in less than half an hour. At that time, the blood drained corpse will be as dry as dead wood, and even the greediest wolf won't eat your meat. You can imagine the process of bleeding until you die. Although it's not too painful, you can clearly feel your decline Weak, clearly feel that your strength is stripped away in your body. "

He went not far away, sat down on a stone, took out his pipe, stuffed it with cut tobacco, lit it and took a sip: "although I don't have much time, it still takes you to die."

"A long time ago... There were barbarian wizards around the general a long time ago!"

Lu Ou begged, "please pull that thing out of my leg."

……

……

"Time, number of people."

Fang Xie took a puff of smoke from his mouth and didn't get up immediately.

"Young general once mentioned to me that the general had superstitious belief in the Wizards of the barbarians many years ago. In recent years, the general ordered the Wizards of the tribe to work in his house because the Wizards refused. It is said that the general kept the Wizards but never let them out What have you been doing in a secret place in the house? "

"Young general was drunk once and seemed very dissatisfied. He said that when he was a child, the general was like this. He asked the general's wife. It seems that the general's character became more and more lonely and strange after the death of the eldest childe Luo Wu. Later, when the Shang state was pacified, the general had just been promoted to the left avant-garde general. When he led the army to fight in the southwest, he heard about the barbarian wizard , I know a lot of strange witchcraft, so I began to secretly search for these people. "

"But no one knows what the general is looking for these wizards."

"Maybe... Maybe the young general and the wife of the general should know."

Lu Ou's face was as white as paper. After saying so many words at once, he looked panting. He looked at Fang Xie and begged, "please pull out the bamboo pipe quickly. I don't want to die... I don't want to die."

"No hurry"

Fang Xie shook his head: "go on, Luo Yao has collected those wizards and kept them in his own house for so many years. Obviously, the number will not be too small, and it is impossible that they have not exposed their feet. If you think about it carefully, what do those wizards have to do with? Who is it? Or what?"

Because of anxiety and fear, Lu Ou's expression on his face was particularly complex: "I think... I think..."

Lu Ou frowned more and more tightly. He lowered his head and could see the blood in the bamboo tube falling continuously. The more you look at it, the stronger the fear.

"I remember... Those witches lived in the other courtyard in the deepest part of the general's mansion and basically didn't move around. But once a wizard came out and told the guards in the mansion that they had to be boys to get fetal blood. Also... It's said that more than ten years ago, the general seemed to kill many witches in a rage. My father was also in the general's mansion When I was a teenager, my father once mentioned it at home and said that more than ten years ago, the howling in other hospitals behind the general's house lasted for a long time. Later, he saw the general's personal guards carrying a lot of bodies out of other hospitals. "

"More than ten years ago?"

Fang Xie asked immediately.

"I can't remember clearly. It's at least fourteen or five years."

Lu Ou said eagerly, "please pull out the bamboo pipe."

Fang Xie knocked his pipe on the stone and frowned gradually. He got up and went to Lu ou, pulled out the bamboo pipe, then tore Lu Ou's clothes and strangled his left leg.

"I said that as long as you answer my questions well, I won't embarrass you."

Fang Xie looked into Lu Ou's eyes and said, "now answer me another question... Zuo Qianwei, how many soldiers do you support? Do the local officials of the four roads in the southwest allocate money from the Treasury to honor Luo Yao every year?"

"Left avant-garde..."

Lu Ou feels that he is really getting weaker and weaker, so his fear is getting stronger and stronger: "The number of left avant-garde people should be no less than 400000. The number of people reported to the court is 200000. The court pays 200000 silver. Other people and horses are supported by local officials. Of course, the general will send troops to eliminate those barbarians every year, and you can get a lot of wealth. You know, there is no shortage of silver in barbarian tribes, but they are made into ornaments and do not circulate. What's more , the great general Chen Bing passed through Nanyan, and the emperor Murong shame of Nanyan also sent a lot of money to the great general every year. "

Fang Xie asked, "where are these 200000 extra troops stationed?"

"Most of them are stationed 40 miles southwest of Yongzhou. Less than 100 miles south is Nanyan. I think 300 miles southwest is the tribe of barbarians."

Fang Xie nodded: "the last question... How high is Luo Yao's cultivation?"

"I don't know... Since the destruction of the Shang state, no one has seen the big general move again."

Lu Ou begged, "I've said everything I know. Let me down."

Fang Xie shook his head slowly.

Lu Ou's face immediately changed: "you... You're really lying to me."

Fang Xie was silent for a while and said, "at the beginning, I really wanted to leave you to help me. After all, with the help of people like you, Cha Luoyao's background would be much easier. Moreover, your relationship with Luo Wen is good and can help me find out a lot of news from Luo Wen."

"But I regret it."

Fang Xie sighed and said, "you've been following Luo Yao for so many years, but you can easily tell me how much you know about him. If you follow me, I'm afraid you'll sell me without being forced by others. It's my fault that I regret because I ignored this before. But don't worry, I won't let you suffer."

He stretched out his hand to help Lu Ou tidy up his clothes: "it's your bad luck to meet someone like me who always wants to be a good person but is destined to be a bad person."

"Fang Xie! If I die, I will not let you go. If there is an afterlife, I will tear you apart!"

"Wait until you're a ghost... Besides, don't talk to me about afterlife. I understand it a little more deeply than you do. What's more, even if there is an afterlife, it's just killing you once more."

Fang Xie poked the dagger into Lu Ou's heart and twisted the handle back and forth several times.

"Goodbye... Besides, I don't know what you said before. I have almost no news about Luo Yao."

He took the dagger back, and then punched it on the ground around him. With a bang, the ground was hit with a big hole. After three punches in succession, he looked at the earth pit, which was almost large enough, then put Lu Ou's body in and buried it with earth: "bury it in the earth... The only thing I can do is this."
