Chapter 192 opens!
Under the cover of night, two figures, one black and one red, sat in front and behind.
In front is Beitang Zun in red, and behind is Chu Qing in black.
Chu Qing placed his palms on Beitang Zun's back, and the internal energy poured in to continuously catalyze the medicinal properties of the Yin-Yang Life-Saving Pills.
Beitang Zun was seriously injured, his tendons and bones were broken and damaged, and his internal organs felt like they were burning.
This was caused by the Nine-Fierce Burning Divine Art...
Fortunately, as Chu Qing activated the efficacy of the Yin-Yang Life-saving Pills, his injuries were gradually improving.
After a stick of incense had passed, Chu Qing slowly withdrew his hand.
Beitang Zun also broke free from his tenuous state, and subconsciously activated the [Nine-Fierce Burning Divine Art] to gather the pure yang fire energy running through his body.
When his energy sank into his dantian and he slowly opened his eyes, he felt as if he was in another world.
But when he saw the man in black standing in front of him with his back to him, Beitang Zun's eyes flashed with vigilance:
"Who are you? You saved me?"
"One sentence, two questions. Which one do you want me to answer first?"
Chu Qing tilted his head slightly so that Beitang Zun could see half of his white mask.
Beitang Zun's expression changed slightly:
"Your Excellency... Could it be the Night Emperor who has gained fame in recent months?"
"good eyesight."
Chu Qing's voice was low and cold:
"As expected of you, the Vice-Hall Master of the Fiery Hall, Beitang Zun."
"You know me?"
Beitang Zun took a deep breath:
"I heard that you are a killer. How can a killer be so kind as to save others?"
"I just made a deal tonight, and I'm in a good mood."
Chu Qing said calmly:
"At this moment, even if it was a stray dog lying on the roadside wagging its tail at me for mercy, I would save it... let alone a human?
"What are you doubting? Do you think that I am in the same group as the person who killed you?"
Beitang Zun was silent, then smiled bitterly:
"I'm sorry, I was too suspicious.
"It's just that now, I don't know what to believe and what not to believe..."
"So, you don't believe that your eldest brother would actually kill you?"
Chu Qing suddenly said something shocking.
Beitang Zun's face suddenly changed:
"how do you know?"
"Your injuries can't be faked."
Chu Qing spoke calmly:
"Nine-Fierce Burning Divine Art, this heart fire is burning your five internal organs, the characteristics are so obvious, if I still don't know who wants to kill you.
"Then you can take off these eyes and throw them away.
"To be honest, if I didn't happen to have a life-saving elixir on me, you would have died tonight."
Beitang Zun's face showed bitterness:
"You're right. The person who wants to kill me is my elder brother, Beitang Lie!"
"Brothers are at odds with each other."
Chu Qing shook his head:
“But I have heard that the two brothers, Liehuotang Beitang and Liehbeitang Zun, have always had a very close relationship.
"There has never been any rumor that you two are not getting along... Now Beitang Lie has suddenly acted so ruthlessly, what is the reason?"
Beitang Zun was stunned when he heard this, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Suddenly he looked at Chu Qing:
"Sir Yedi, you are a killer, are you willing to help me kill someone?"
Chu Qing raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively:
"who?"
"My eldest brother, Beitang Lie!"
really!
Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Your elder brother wants to kill you, so you want to buy my fierceness and kill your elder brother?
"You two brothers are really good at having fun."
"There are many hidden secrets in this... but it is not convenient for me to tell you."
Beitang Zun said in a deep voice:
“But Beitang Lie is no longer worthy of being the head of the Fiery Flame Hall. Only when he dies can the Fiery Flame Hall survive.
"Besides, the sooner he dies, the better!"
When Chu Qing saw his posture, he knew that he had indeed found out something extraordinary.
That's why Beitang Lie didn't hesitate to kill him himself...
After he woke up, after a little hesitation, he decided to kill Beitang Lie.
But as for my identity as a killer, I'm afraid he won't reveal the details to me.
He immediately smiled:
"I think you have misunderstood something. Although I am a killer, I don't kill everyone.
"Beitang Lie has never done anything against the will of heaven or morality, so why would I kill him? Is it just for the sake of the drama of you two brothers fighting each other?
"Then you underestimate me."
Beitang Zun was stunned for a moment, then nodded suddenly:
"I see. So, the reason why you wanted to kill Jiang Shendao in Shendao City was because he was doing evil things...
“In order to forge the Chaos God Sword, he did not hesitate to kill people and slaughter innocent people.
"However, if that is the case, then you, Beitang Lie, really must be killed!"
"reason."
Chu Qing narrowed his eyes and looked at Beitang Zun:
"I need a reason to kill him!"
"He colluded with the Tianxie Cult inside and outside to murder his fellow cult members!"
Beitang Zun gritted his teeth and said:
"Is this reason enough?
"In order to cover up this secret, he even went so far as to kill his own brother to silence him. Is this reason enough?"
"Tianxie Cult..."
Chu Qing said lightly:
“From what I know, people in the Tianxie Cult are often good at magic techniques.
"This kind of method is also very useful in confusing the mind... How can you be sure that what you saw was done willingly by your eldest brother?
"Instead of being helpless and controlled by others?"
"He clearly knows what he is doing..."
Beitang Zun showed a hint of disappointment on his face:
“He cooperated with the Tianxie Cult while he was sober.
"He told me himself, 'The Ghost Emperor will die, and Tianxie will take over the world!'"
The Ghost Emperor is about to die, and Tianxie will dominate the world!
Chu Qing was silent. He had never told anyone that the Ghost Emperor was about to die.
It seems that Beitang Lie does know some secrets.
And in this way, Beitang Zun's words are more credible...
After a brief pause, Chu Qing said:
"Tomorrow night, I will bring you Beitang Lie's head."
"Tomorrow night?"
Beitang Zun looked at Chu Qing:
"Are you sure?"
"Have."
Chu Qing nodded:
"But you have to tell me, how did you pass through Ghost Gorge without being noticed?"
If there was no secret passage, how could he cross the distance of a hundred feet?
Running here with a seriously injured body?
"Below the Ghost Gorge, there is a dangerous road that a large number of people cannot pass through, but a small number of people can borrow the road... I will draw it for you."
Beitang Zun immediately picked up a dead branch beside him and drew a route on the ground.
Listening to Beitang Zun explaining the situation on this route to him, Chu Qing took note silently, but he also understood why only a small number of people could be brought on this route.
The route is twisted and complicated. It must be a road that was found after someone repeatedly explored it at the cost of their lives.
Chu Qing suddenly became curious:
"How do you know this route?"
"…My eldest brother told me."
Beitang Zun slowly closed his eyes:
"Besides, what other information do you need?"
"I need to know where Beitang Lie will be at night, how many people will be on guard, and how the patrol schedule will be arranged..."
Chu Qing didn't mean to be polite at all and directly told him everything he needed.
Beitang Zun tells everything he knows.
After everything was made clear, Chu Qing said:
"That's basically it. Now there's only one last question left."
"what is the problem?"
"How much are you going to spend to buy your brother's life?"
"This……"
Beitang Zun suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He had never hired someone to kill someone in his life.
It’s not that Beitang Zun has never had his hands involved in dirty deeds in his life... In fact, how could a force that occupies a large territory not be involved in any dirty things?
The one who really couldn't let these things get his hands dirty was the hall master Beitang Lie. And the one who dealt with these things was often Beitang Zun.
It’s just that he doesn’t need to hire someone to kill someone, he is a killer himself.
Now facing Chu Qing's question, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
I could only look at Trina:
"How much does Lord Yedi think his life is worth?"
"That's worth a lot of money."
Chu Qing stretched out a finger:
"How about this, 10,000 taels of gold?"
This was a big request, but Beitang Zun did not hesitate at all:
"can."
Especially less...
Chu Qing secretly rolled his eyes. None of these rich guys are good.
They are all rich and dying!
Next time when I deal with such entities as two gangs, three halls, five sects and one village, I must ask for the highest price possible.
Then I heard Beitang Zun say:
"But I can only give you the money later."
"When?"
"The Battle of Ghost Gorge is over!"
Chu Qing looked at Beitang Zun thoughtfully and nodded:
“After killing Beitang Lie, I have something else to do in the north.
"I will find time to ask you for your reward... If you can't pay me by then, I will take your head as payment."
"Okay, don't worry."
Beitang Zun nodded deeply.
At this time, a prompt popped up in front of Chu Qing.
[Trigger the commission: Assassinate Beitang Lie! ]
【Do you want to receive it? 】
With the three elements coming together, the mission was indeed triggered.
This time Chu Qing didn't wait and chose to receive it directly.
From the very beginning, Chu Qing knew that there was a problem with Beitang Lie and Liehuotang.
Now that we have received evidence from Beitang Zun's mouth, Beitang Lie has completely turned to the Tianxie Cult.
Then there is absolutely no problem in killing this person.
Of course, it would be even better if we could get some information about the 'Ghost Emperor is about to die' before killing him.
But this depends on the situation at the time... If conditions permit, it goes without saying. If conditions do not permit, the assassin's primary mission is still assassination.
Everything else is secondary.
Even the bet between Chu Qing and the Tomb Prince was, to put it bluntly, secondary.
Whether the Ghost Emperor lives or dies has nothing to do with whether he joins the Tianxie Cult.
He never intended to talk about morality or abide by any rules with this group of people.
Now that he had said what he needed to say, Chu Qing looked at Beitang Zun again:
"In that case, where should I find you tomorrow night?"
"Iron Blood Hall Stronghold!"
Beitang Zun stood up and looked towards the direction of Tiexuetang stronghold.
Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly:
"This is an unexpected place..."
“This is perhaps an expected location.”
Beitang Zun slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the light in his eyes had returned:
“The Fiery Hall cannot be destroyed overnight, neither by my eldest brother nor by me.
"If everything goes well, you can bring Beitang Lie's head to Tiexuetang Castle to find me tomorrow night."
"it is good."
Chu Qing nodded:
"If that's the case, I'll go first."
He turned around and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
In the empty sky and earth, beside the broad canyon filled with howling winds, only Beitang Zun was left.
He was dressed in red, barely holding on despite his injuries, and walked towards the direction of the Tiexuetang stronghold.
Chu Qing did not go far, but followed quietly until Beitang Zun came to the outside of the city, reported his name, and was escorted into the city by the disciples of Liehuotang. Only then did Chu Qing quietly change his route and return to his residence.
The room was still brightly lit.
Two figures were reflected in the window, and it looked like two people were having a long conversation.
But when Chu Qing climbed in through the window, he saw Wenrou curled up in a ball, sleeping soundly.
The two figures were two pieces of hanging clothes.
After putting away the two pieces of clothing, Chu Qing gently pushed Wenrou.
Wenrou waved her hand and turned over:
"Don't make trouble..."
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Chu Qing did not disturb her again.
After changing out of his nightgown and mask, when he turned around, Wenrou had already opened his eyes and was looking at Chu Qing intently.
Chu Qing looked down, but there was nothing to be afraid of:
"woke up?"
"Um……"
Gentle hooked his nose:
"Have you seen Beitang Zun?"
"Correct."
Chu Qing nodded:
"It was quite a coincidence. He was nearly beaten to death by Beitang Lie and I happened to run into him.
"I rescued him and he is now inside the fortress... I estimate that he will come to find me tomorrow at the latest."
Wenrou supported her chin, looked at Chu Qing twice, and said thoughtfully:
"Beitang Lie beating up Beitang Zun...very interesting."
"Wenrou, help me with something."
Chu Qing suddenly spoke.
"Okay."
Wenrou nodded immediately:
"whats the matter?"
Chu Qing asked her to come closer to his ear, and Wenrou obediently put her ear close to Chu Qing's mouth.
When I opened my mouth to speak, the hot air sprayed on my ears.
My ears turned a little red...and my heart felt a little nervous.
But after hearing what Chu Qing said clearly, Wenrou suddenly straightened up, feeling a little embarrassed:
"Can it be done?"
"It's not a big problem..."
Chu Qing said softly:
"You just need to do what I say and you can get away with it."
"okay."
Nodded gently:
"Then you need to hurry up. It will be embarrassing if you get caught."
Chu Qing was happy to hear this and asked her to get off the bed first. He then washed his hands and sat on the bed leisurely:
"You really have to protect me this time."
Wenrou blinked her eyes, indicating that she didn't quite understand.
When have I not protected him?
Is this true or false?
However, the time he spent in seclusion was always very short. Often, just when he, as the guardian, had just entered the state... before he could react, it was already over.
She sat at the table and nodded:
"give it to me."
Chu Qing rubbed his hands and selected the inner power treasure chest in the system.
[One inner power treasure chest has not been opened. Do you want to open it immediately? 】
Chu Qing felt that the question was a bit redundant, and nodded without any hesitation:
"Turn on!"
