Nameless Valley.was taken to the lair of his private killer, and the Li patriarch sat on the ground weakly and wanted to cry without tears.The people he had ransomed from death row in seven neighboring towns at tens of thousands of taels of silver were so easily destroyed.And after he took over as the patriarch, none of the guards he worked so hard to raise survived.Sixty-nine people.No, and the dozen or so killers he personally brought, his ten spies, and a whole hundred people were all destroyed."
Zhuge Yi, who are you?"
The patriarch of Li was furious, and he didn't care that his hands were tied, and the other end of the hemp rope was still tied to the saddle.He rushed towards Zhuge Yi in a rage, even if he was injured if he was bounced back by the pull of the hemp rope.Zhuge Yi pointed to the corpses lying on the ground, "When you recruited them, you should have thought of today."
There is an ancestral precept in the ancestral rules of the eight clans, no one is allowed to keep killers privately, and the duty of guarding is to take care of the family and the hospital, not to hurt people's lives, not to commit murder and evil, not to bully men and women, and not to fight for tigers. ”"Uncle Zhuge Zi, what's the use of you as a foreigner who is familiar with the ancestral rules of the eight clans?
Even if I raise it, it's not your turn to take care of it. ”Patriarch Li's bite of his own fault has nothing to do with Zhuge Yi, who is a foreigner.Zhuge Yi said calmly: "It really has nothing to do with me.But don't forget, if I reveal this news to others, I believe that Patriarch Li will not only be punished by the ancestral rules, but even the people of the Li clan will be expelled from Ciyu Town.The hundred-year foundation of the Li clan will be divided among the seven major clans. ”"Count you ruthless!"
Patriarch Li was resentful.Losing the Li clan, what is the use of him being a patriarch with no family business?
If he has power and wealth, what will he do to enjoy the glory and wealth?"
Uncle Zhuge Zi, what do you want?"
Zhuge Yi took out the dagger of Patriarch Li, cut the binding hemp rope, and said lightly: "Outsiders see Patriarch Li as a mediocre talent who does nothing, but I think Patriarch Li is a great talent who is deeply hidden.He knows how to be scheming better than Patriarch Mo, and knows how to control people's hearts better than Patriarch Yan. ”"Hehe, you said a bunch of nonsense to tell me, do you know me well?"
Patriarch Li smiled disdainfully, slowly walked to a wooden stool and sat down, slightly looking up at the gradually white eastern sky, "It's almost dawn, long story short."
I'll throw in the towel and do whatever you want. ”"Patriarch Li, don't worry, wait."
Ling Eighteen walked over leisurely, carrying a wooden stool in one hand, and sat beside the Li patriarch.He looked at the gate of the courtyard with smiling eyes and said, "The people I sent out should come back." ”"I don't know what the people sent out by Ling Ye did?
All I have is this lair. ”Patriarch Li pretended to laugh at himself lightly, and when he saw the two black-clothed guards who suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard carrying two unconscious old men in, his voice was blocked in his throat.Ling Eighteen pointed to a clearing somewhere on the ground, "Put it down." ”"Master Ling, those two places have been cleaned up."
After putting the two old men on the ground, the unmasked black-clothed guards saluted Ling Eighteen and Zhuge Yi, and then quietly left the courtyard.Patriarch Li looked at the two old men lying on the ground dumbfounded, and asked in a trembling voice, "Are they dead?"
”Ling 18 touched his chin and replied ambiguously: "Yes, it's not dead, right?"
Perhaps, scared to death. ”Patriarch Li opened his mouth and felt that it was difficult to breathe, stared at the two old men lying on the ground for a long time, and found that their fingers moved slightly, and his tense expression relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief."
They are my father's private guards, although they are in their last years, but thanks to the Li clan, I must take good care of them until the end of my life."
Patriarch Li said abruptly, nervously wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.Ling Eighteen touched his chin with a sympathetic expression, "Patriarch Li really doesn't cry when he sees the coffin."
So far, are you embarrassed to make up lies to deceive us?
You deserve to be betrayed by your own brothers. ”Patriarch Li swore with a sincere face: "I'm not lying, really!"
If you don't believe me, look it up.If I lie, the sky will thunder!
”Thundered!
A thunderclap exploded in the sky.Ling Eighteen looked up at the sky and laughed heartily, "God, why are you so cute?"
He said that the sky will strike thunder, and you will strike thunder and strike him.Tut-tut, God really has eyes!
”The Li patriarch who was embarrassed by the thunder looked up at the sky and scolded in a low voice: "When are you thundering badly, but when I swear, do you want to go against me?"
”"God is just.Seeing you open your eyes and talk nonsense, even he can't stand it. ”Zhuge Yi chuckled contemptuously and ordered the guards to carry buckets of water to wake up the two old men.Patriarch Li was so frightened that his old face turned red and pale, and he trembled with fear.He secretly bought two granges on the outskirts of Yanxia Town, and privately raised some spies and assassins, specially used to find out the news of the Cold Pavilion and prevent Ling Eighteen from attacking Ciyu Town.These two old men were the stewards of the two granges.Who would have thought that Ling Eighteen would find out the two granges and kidnap two chief stewards."
Don't wake them up, I confess."
Patriarch Li knew that the general trend had gone, and the only way to do this was to temporarily suspend the army and negotiate peace.As long as he can control Li Haitang, he doesn't have to worry about Zhuge Yi making a move.If a person has a weakness, he will often look forward and cower when encountering problems.Nowadays, Li Haitang is Zhuge Yi's weakness."
What else does Patriarch Li have to confess?
We've found all five of your spies and killers.Don't worry, wait, there are still three places that haven't been heard from yet. ”Ling Eighteen said with a smile, very satisfied with the reaction given by Patriarch Li.Patriarch Li was shocked at first, then angry.He opened his round eyes and yelled at Zhuge Yi: "What do you want to do?
”Zhuge Yi replied lightly: "Cut off your minions, so that I can leave her with peace of mind." ”"You're guarding against me everywhere, why don't you want to think about the second child?
Didn't he have a private spies?
”Patriarch Li was indignant, angry at why Zhuge Yi only couldn't get along with him.Zhuge Yi said contemptuously: "Do you think that Third Master Li and Fourth Master Li don't have private spies?"
The front and back yards of each of the eight major clans all have private spies, and only you, Patriarch Mo, and Patriarch Wu have privately raised guards.And you are recruiting gangsters and convicted death row inmates to be assassins, and you are more heinous than them. ”"So you're not just getting rid of my people, but someone else's?""
Yes."
Zhuge Yi admitted it calmly.He faked poisoning this time to confuse everyone, not only to temporarily go to Yanxia Town to recuperate, but also to force the people of the eight major clans to relax their vigilance and put all their thoughts on Li Haitang.And he took the opportunity to clear the minions and nests of these powerful people to prepare for the big plans in the future.It takes a lot of time to raise private minions, for example, the Li patriarch has to ransom people from the death row in various towns, and the real henchmen need to be cultivated from a young age, and a lot of mental and financial resources may be able to select a few outstanding kung fu masters.The dark pavilion of the cold pavilion is this kind of place, and it was built by him himself.Now his side, Ling Eighteen's side, Begonia's side and the guards led by the fierce mother-in-law are all from the Dark Pavilion of the Cold Pavilion.Patriarch Li sat dejectedly and did not say a word.He was a lamb to the slaughter, and he had no power to fight back."
Tell me, what do you want me to do?
As long as I live, I can give you this life. ”"How much is your rotten life worth?
Even the power of the Li clan has been taken away, and you have only one use from now on. ”Zhuge Yi deliberately paused, arousing the curiosity of Patriarch Li.Sure enough, Patriarch Li suddenly raised his head and asked, "To you, what use do I have?"
”() Glory to the end
