Nomenclature of Night

  Chapter 473 Secret Talk

  The subordinates behind the shadow stepped forward one by one to kill the prisoners on the execution rack.

   He caught it from the lakeside with Qingchen as bait.

  Now, they have lost interest in finding the messengers behind these people.

  From Shadow’s point of view, there are only a few people who can command these people.

  Since these people have a hard mouth, let's pretend that those who may be behind the scenes are all enemies.

   Don't miss any of them.

  However, the matter of Qing Chen being arrested this time was obviously different.

  The mastermind behind instructing Zhou Dao and the others to kill people by the lake is not yet so capable.

  Shadow is very clear about who has the ability to place an internal response by his side.

   There is, and only one, such a person.

  Shadow washed his hands in the pool next to the execution rack, washing away the blood on his hands.

  The subordinates around him all looked solemn.

   They already knew the seriousness of the matter at this time.

  Shadow casually said to several subordinates: "There is a leaker among you."

  The subordinates froze, they all knew how serious the consequences of betraying the shadow would be.

   Besides, this is a shadow.

   There was an internal response around the shadow, this is a very serious matter.

  Shadow continued: "But it doesn't matter, I know who you are working for."

   Director Zhou was on the execution rack, watching his companions die one after another, he said hastily: "I said, as long as you let me go, I will tell you everything I know right now."

  Shadow glanced back at him: "I don't want to hear it now."

   After saying that, he opened the door of shadows and left without looking back.

   It wasn't until this moment that Director Zhou realized that this was not a method of torture. Shadow was really impatient!

  The next moment, the shadow had arrived at Qing's ginkgo manor in No. 5 city.

  The manor located on the hillside is still brightly lit, like a group of palaces above the sky.

  The gorgeous blue and purple light strips outline the eaves, corners and walls like a dream.

  Shadow climbed up the stairs all the way, and the stumps and servants on the road retreated away when they saw him.

   One by one bowed their heads respectfully and stood on both sides of the road.

  They realized that the shadow that rarely appeared in the Ginkgo Manor came back suddenly, something must have happened.

  Shadow walked all the way to the highest point, which was a separate building.

  In the entire Ginkgo Manor, only this building is dark, without any lights.

  Shadow came to the door, pushed open the door of the main hall without saying hello, and stood at the door.

  Light from outside the building passes through the open door and shines into the dark environment inside the building.

  At this time, there was an old man with his hair in a bun sitting cross-legged on the futon, with his back facing the door, motionless like a bronze bell.

"The shadow has been around for a long time, and I don't know the rules anymore. In the Qing family, the power of the patriarch is still higher than the shadow, so when you enter the door, you should knock on the door first, and I agree with you before you come in," the old man said slowly. Swallow, said lightly.

   "You were the one who leaked Qingchen's information," Shadow asked straight to the point.

  Actually, when he received the call from Yan Chunmi and learned the information, Shadow already knew exactly who was manipulating all this.

   From the point of view of the shadow, there is only one person who can place internal support around him without him knowing, and betray him at the most critical moment, and that is Patriarch Qing.

  Shadow never suspected anyone other than the head of the Qing family.

  If other forces can do this, then his shadow doesn't have to do it, and the Qing family will probably be swallowed up sooner or later.

   This is a kind of self-confidence.

  Only a person like the Patriarch of the Qing family, whose power is completely above him, can do this.

  People in the intelligence system, some are loyal to the shadow, some are loyal to the Qing family, this is very different.

   So he said to his subordinate, I know the leaker is among you, but it doesn't matter.

  Because, if the Qing family must choose one person to represent the entire family and consortium, this person is definitely not his shadow, but the head of the family.

  Is it wrong to betray the shadow for the Patriarch? No.

   That old man is the real decision maker of the family, and everyone's will, including the shadow's, must serve him.

  The Patriarch of the Qing family said without turning his head: "It's me."

   "Why?" Shadow asked coldly.

  Patriarch Qing asked: "It's because you're about to die, so you became kinder before you died, and that's why you're so sloppy in handling things, right?"

   "What do you mean?" Shadow asked.

   "You ask him to take Qing Mu home, so as to buy the hearts of the Qing Clan's intelligence system," the Patriarch of the Qing Clan said slowly.

   "That's right, does this conflict with your will? Isn't this what you want to see?" Shadow asked.

"There is no conflict, but what you have done is too kind." Patriarch Qing always only left the shadow behind: "Just taking Qing Mu home, at most it is to gain the gratitude and admiration of some intelligence personnel, but if you want him to To quickly take over the intelligence system, or to go to a higher position, what you have to do has to be a little more brutal."

  Shadow said in a condensed voice: "You want him to be the second Qingmu, a Qingmu who returns to the Qing family alive, enough to command and deter all intelligence personnel."

  Shadow understood what the head of the Qing family wanted to do.

  Shadow has fully understood.

  The people who did it this time were the Jindai family.

  The Patriarch of the Qing family passed Qing Chen's information to the God Generation through some channel!

   After receiving Qing Chen’s information, all God had to do was to find a new ‘Qing Mu’.

  Since the Qing family has captured the people from the Age of Gods and traded Qingmu, they will find a new substitute.

  The Age of Gods is also a consortium, how could they allow others to provoke, but never fight back?

  Qing Chen had brought them enough trouble and humiliation, so the Age of God used a thunderous blow this time to completely kill this huge threat that might grow up in its cradle.

  The Age of God should give Qing Chen endless humiliation just like he did to Qing Mu, so as to tell the entire Federation the result of provoking the Age of God.

   In the eyes of the Patriarch of the Qing family.

  A person who takes Qing Mu home is just a meritorious official. Although everyone admires him, this qualification is not enough for Qing Chen to quickly ascend to a higher position.

  But if a sober and alive 'Qing Mu' returns to the south, then the prestige and authority will be completely different.

  The person who takes Qingmu home and 'Qingmu' himself are completely different concepts.

   "It seems that you and I are running out of time, so we have to take this medicine," Shadow said calmly.

  The old man was noncommittal and did not answer.

   But Shadow was puzzled: "Aren't you worried that he died in the north? Or was he exchanged for a soul by connecting neurons?"

  The Patriarch of the Qing family said calmly: "No one in this world can replace him with this method. You and I knew about this more than ten years ago. Even Qing Mu couldn't be replaced by the Shendai, so how can he be replaced?"

   "But what if he died in the north?" Shadow asked in a deep voice.

"You really have become soft-hearted," the head of the Qing family said calmly: "In my opinion, this is not a problem. What worries me more now is that you are all so soft-hearted. If the Qing family's foundation is handed over to you In your hand, will it collapse?"

  The Patriarch of the Qing family seems to have other plans.

  Shadow sneered: "Do you really plan to hand over the Qing family? It seems that you have this plan on the surface, but it's really hard to say how it actually is."

  The reason why people from various factions of the Qing Clan are ready to move is to target Shadow.

   It was just because the Patriarch casually said a few days ago, "What do you think of this year's shadow being the Patriarch?"

  Just this one sentence stirred up waves.

   Those who are responsible for the various factions simply cannot accept being controlled by the shadow. They don't want to see the shadow ascend to the position of Patriarch, which is why those things happened later.

  Only Shadow knew clearly that this old man never planned to let him be the head of the house.

  The other party said that, but he knew what the people of the various factions were thinking. The family mainly used those people to check and balance him.

  Shadow said no more, turned around and left.

  The old man asked: "Are you going to save him now?"

  Shadow stopped without saying a word, and looked back coldly at the Patriarch of the Qing family.

The old man continued to speak slowly: "If you save him now, all the hardships and injuries he suffered today will be in vain. Remember what I once said, people don't have feelings, if they have feelings, they will have feelings." Flaws. Only when he becomes 'Qing Mu' can he be truly valuable."

  Shadow said coldly: "That's your opinion, I don't think so."

Patriarch Qing asked: "Didn't you also intentionally betray Qing Yi's information in order to help him subdue Qing Yi's hearts? What is the difference between what I am doing now and what you are doing? You also killed many innocent people." people."

  Shadow calmly said: "What you said seems reasonable. I have never thought of myself as a good person. But I am ready to bear my sins and go to hell. Are you ready for the same?"

   After speaking, he turned and left.

  Shadow received a message on his mobile phone, someone sent the whole story over.

  Among them, it includes the news of Qing Chen's disappearance after the death battle, and the news of Li Yunjing and Huotang's missing clues after the investigation.

Shadow made a phone call and said: "Qingye, the first thing, lead me to block all the passages to the north, and don't let Shendai have the opportunity to take Qingchen out of the Central Plains. The second thing, check for me, where is it? The floating airship is in charge of picking them up. The third thing is to make Qing's combat troops ignore the fire pit."

   "Finally," Shadow said after a pause, "Tell this matter to Li Changqing, she is in the city of No. 19 in the north of the battlefield, let her find Qing Chen's whereabouts together."

  From this moment on, Shendai's actions after arresting Qing Chen were like stabbing a hornet's nest, touching the nerves of many people.
