Chapter 724

PS: I had a party with Guo Nu desert dagger yesterday. When I came back, I found that the monthly ticket list was blasted so bitterly... Is this the chrysanthemum that will also be blasted? I knew I should have let the three of them go

Fang Xie looked at the assassin leader who seemed to die at any time, and there was no pity in his eyes. He's confident in how much he's done and knows that 30% of this guy's performance is fake. It can be seen that this is a smart man who knows what circumstances and means to save his life temporarily.

He took the pain as an illusion and made Fang Xie think he was about to die.

But because of this, Fang Xie saw another point, that is, this man is afraid of death.

Everyone is afraid of death, but some people can still stick to themselves in the face of death, while others will change themselves in order to live. Therefore, there will always be many respected martyrs and many despised traitors in this world. But in the face of life-threatening, who can guarantee that he will die as generously as the respected martyr?

So Fang explained, fork him out and kill him.

"Wait... Wait..."

The assassin leader obviously didn't expect that Fang Xie really didn't want to ask him anything. All the countermeasures just thought in his mind were useless. The way of thinking of Dongchu people is actually somewhat different from that of the Sui people. Because of the developed business, Dongchu people seem to have a more flexible mind. They have always looked down on the stubbornness and extreme of the Sui people.

Therefore, in the face of death, few people in Dongchu can achieve the stubbornness and extreme of Sui people.

In the view of Dongchu people, everything has value, no matter what it is.

This is an inertial thinking formed by a commercial empire that has maintained the supremacy of interests for a long time. Every Dongchu people can clearly set the value standard for everything. They will only do it when they reach a certain proportion of pay and harvest. At this time, the assassin leader clearly knows what he needs to pay and what he can gain. I also know the value of these things and can save my life.

"You can't kill me, I still have great value..."

When he was dragged out, he shouted at Fang Xie with all his strength.

Fang Xie waved his hand, and the two riding schools that took him out immediately stopped.

"We are indeed from the state of Chu..."

The assassin leader struggled to sit up and leaned against the door frame: "the mages you caught before were all invited from the Principality of Ross on the other side of the ocean. They said they were able to help us. These people once had a high status in the Principality of Ross, but later they couldn't stay in the Principality of Ross... So they planned to go out and get benefits outside."

He explained the origin of the mages, and then the other side explained, "we came because of the request of emperor Murong shameful of Nanyan. Murong shameful knew that you would move troops to Nanyan. He felt that Nanyan's strength might not be able to stop you, so he asked for help from the state of Chu."

Fang Xie nodded: "the emperor of Eastern Chu agreed to Murong shame's request. He must have sent more than you?"

The assassin leader nodded: "our task is to join hands with these mages of the Principality of Ross to assassinate you. If we fail, there will be other means. The Principality of Ross sent a team of hundreds of people to Nanyan Dali city. It is said that they are carrying powerful weapons."

"What?"

Fang Xie asked, although he could almost guess the answer.

"I don't know..."

The assassin leader shook his head: "I really don't know. Those people in the Principality of Ross have been closely guarding those things all the way and won't let our people near. I only heard that they are powerful weapons, but I don't know what they are."

"Hundreds of people?"

Fang Xie seems to have some incomprehension about this figure. He can guess what powerful firearms the Ross brought, but the number of hundreds of people is still too small. In terms of the scientific and technological level of this era, even if the people of the Principality of Ross are a lot ahead of the great Sui Dynasty, they will not create anything powerful and terrible. If it's just artillery, hundreds of people can operate no more than dozens.

The power of artillery in this era has not been abnormal to kill the four sides. Dozens of artillery can indeed reverse the war situation, but it is self-protection at most. Counting on attack? Facing the light cavalry of the black flag army, the power of the artillery is much less than that of the infantry. So, not surprisingly, these guns were only placed in Dali City for defense.

This quantity can not be divided into several batches and arranged in other big cities.

Isn't it a gun?

"How many people have the Principality of Ross sent to Dongchu this time?"

"Less than a thousand."

The assassin leader replied, "for the sake of confidentiality, the people of the Principality of Ross came to Chu by the merchant ship of the state of Chu this time, but they were followed by a merchant ship of the Principality of Ross on the way. In order to prevent leakage, the ship of the Principality of Ross followed the East Chu and found an excuse to get rid of all the businessmen of the state of Ross."

Fang Xie frowned slightly and immediately thought of the news said by Chen Xiaoru.

The merchant ship of the state of Ross seen in the East Chu must have met the East Chu ship carrying the army of the state of Ross on the halfway mountain, so it followed curiously. In order to prevent leakage of secrets, these Russian businessmen were deliberately led to the eastern Chu and then killed.

Therefore, Fang Xie immediately felt that things were far from as simple as the assassin leader said. If it is only to help Nan Yan Murong shame resist himself, is it necessary for Dong Chu to collude with the people of the Principality of Ross? In order to keep it secret, people in the Principality of Ross even don't hesitate to get rid of their own nationals to keep it secret. What is the secret and how big is it?

A strong uneasiness rose in Fang Xie's heart.

……

……

Fang Xie carefully pried off the stones inlaid on the six mage sticks with a knife without touching them with his hands. He knew that these things had extraordinary power and could change some natural phenomena. The so-called mage just deceives people by relying on the function of these meteorites.

These stones, Fang Xie subconsciously thought they would be used in the future, so they were not discarded. Maybe it's just that he has to prepare some psychological mischief even if he doesn't need it. However, from the memory of his previous life, Fang Xie is very interested in the profession of mage.

"What's the use of these things?"

San Jin, who had already arrived, looked at the stones of different colors. If they didn't occasionally emit bursts of weak light, his first intuition was that they were just ordinary stones.

"It's useless. Meteorites that can change the force field. Together, they will cause some unnatural phenomena, like magic."

Fang Xie smiled and asked someone to put the six meteorites in an iron box and seal them up.

San jinhou seemed not interested in this kind of thing. He smiled and said, "foreigners always make strange things... What is the force field?"

He is more interested in what the other party explains.

"Nothing, just a word I came up with. There was no suitable word to describe the ability of these stones, so I thought of one."

Fang Xie smiled, turned back and said to a man who knew foreigners' words: "ask them why they came to the great Sui Dynasty."

A shopkeeper of Huo Tongtian nodded and went to the mages kneeling on the ground and asked, "the general asked you why you came to the great Sui Dynasty and why you came to assassinate! You don't have many opportunities. If you still cherish your life, answer truthfully and seriously."

The leading mage was silent for a moment and asked the shopkeeper, "if we say so, will we promise not to kill us?"

"The general is honest. The premise is that you are honest and dishonest."

"We..."

The mage sighed and said, "we just can't stay in the Principality of Ross. We want to find our position outside. That's why we accept the invitation of the emperor of Chu to come here to assassinate the general. We need money and like money. We can't have wealth in the Principality of Ross anymore..."

The shopkeeper translated it again, and Fang Xie shook his head: "I'm not honest at all..."

He pointed to the chief mage and said, "kill this man, remove his limbs first, and don't let him die within half an hour."

Chen Xiaoru agreed, sneered and kicked the mage over, then threw him on the ground with his clothes in the forest. Two Xiaoqi schools came and pressed the mage's hands and feet. Chen Xiaoru took a knife and cut off the mage's left arm without hesitation. The wail immediately sounded in the room, and the shocked people's ears hurt.

Fang Xie turned and left, as if he had lost interest in interrogating them. San jinhou followed him. As they walked, they whispered something.

Chen Xiaoru was in charge of execution interrogation when he was in the bodyguard's office. Perhaps few people know how to kill a person slowly better than him. He cut it off one by one, looking at the flesh and blood blurred and extremely cruel, but the mage will not die soon. This kind of torture is not only for that mage, but also for several other mages.

They watched their companions cut open by the cruel and savage Central Plains man, and their limbs were stripped part by part. The wail made their scalp numb and their hearts tremble. The fear could not be described in words. For them, this is hell.

Chen Xiaoru chopped 108 knives. For half an hour, there was no more or less.

The mage didn't even have the strength to howl. His voice was as low as that of the beast before he breathed, but it was more direct to the people's heart.

The shopkeeper who was carrying goods all over the sky also turned pale. Seeing that his hands were full of blood, Chen Xiaoru motioned to him. He walked over and said to the remaining five mages: "This is the price of your dishonesty. The general is kind, but he hates others to deceive him. He can forgive you for being deceived to come here to assassinate him, but he can't forgive you for not cherishing the opportunity he gave. Now, who among you is willing to tell me why you came?"

The others had long been frightened and dared not even speak.

Chen Xiaoru came impatiently and wrote a number on the five people with his bloody hand, from one to five: "now you choose, I give you the right of choice, and you choose a person to answer. One, two, three, four, five... Try your luck."

The shopkeeper translated the words truthfully. Four of the five people were paralyzed immediately. The other one was stiff and forgot what to do. They looked at each other and saw vigilance and hostility in each other's eyes. It has to be said that Chen Xiaoru only used a few numbers, which made the five people lose trust in each other.

Chen Xiaoru smiled grimly: "don't you come? Then I have to draw lots."

He found a few pieces of paper, wrote the number from one to five, folded the paper, threw it into the sky, picked it up from the ground and opened it.

He looked at the mage who wrote three on his clothes, smiled and said, "Congratulations, you won the prize."

"I said!"

The person pointed out didn't need to listen to the translation to know what it meant. He climbed and knelt back and dodged, shouting at the top of his voice: "I'm willing to say anything, I'm willing to tell you everything I know!"

"Ask separately"

Chen Xiaoru said to the shopkeeper, "don't give them the chance to collude. If any of them answer differently, point it out and I'll kill it slowly..."

The shopkeeper shivered and dared not look into Chen Xiaoru's eyes.

……

……

"This is unusual..."

After thinking for a while, Fang Xie said to San jinhou, "the people of Eastern Chu have no courage to fight against the great Sui Dynasty. 70% of their commercial income comes from the great Sui Dynasty. If they fight, their wealth will be cut off. Militarily, their strength is not enough. But now the people of the Principality of Ross have appeared. I always think the emperor of Eastern Chu is playing some Yin moves."

"In my opinion, you don't have to care too much."

San jinhou said, "even if Murong shame has firearms in his hand, the number of a few hundred people can't affect the overall situation. General, I suddenly thought of a way to destroy the city... But... It's a little cruel."

"What?"

"Stop the flow in the upper reaches of the nameng River and then flood the city."

As soon as Fang Xie's face changed, he subconsciously looked at San Jin Hou. He found that there were some excited things in San Jin Hou's eyes, which flashed away. It was a kind of excitement only when you enjoyed something. Although it soon disappeared, it didn't escape Fang Xie's attention.
