Laughing at Chang'an
Chapter 60 Fighting the Landlord, Fried Golden Flower, and Solitaire
"impossible."
Li Shen categorically denied it, and his already gloomy face became even more difficult to look at.He held his slightly dizzy head with his left hand, paused for a moment, and explained to Haitang: "I mean, if you are the only one who hints at this method, then I can be sure that no one has done it to me."
"There is no prescriptive way to apply the finishing touch."
Haitang was not annoyed because her deduction was denied, she turned around and walked back to the table as she spoke, and made a cup of tea for Li Shen.The tea was slightly cold, but it was just right for the current Li Shen. While sipping the tea slowly, he turned his confused eyes to Haitang.
Facing him, Haitang sat down at the table.
"Do you know the origin of the Illuminati?" she asked.
Li Shen didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this, nodded and said: "During the dark age of the Millennium War, people spontaneously formed mutual aid organizations to find light in the darkness, and gradually developed and expanded to become the Illuminati Society."
Due to the dominance of Chang'an in Middle-earth and the inextricable feud between it and the Illuminati, the influence of the Illuminati in Middle-earth is negligible. For those who don't know Westland, the Illuminati is already a distant concept.Most of Li Shen's understanding of the Illuminati came from Haitang, and common sense like this was gradually learned after getting to know Haitang.
"This is a short statement, but in fact, in that era, there were many human mutual aid organizations at the beginning. Even in a desperate situation, the inferiority of human beings still will not disappear. The pursuit of power, the pursuit of wealth, various organizations They are also full of contradictions, and in the crisis of genocide, they are still fighting each other for some territory or resources."
Haitang narrated that period of history in a quiet voice, and the dark age she spoke of unfolded in front of Li Shen's eyes like a picture scroll.
"At that time, almost everyone knew that if they could not be united, then human beings would really perish. But no matter how hard the aspirants put in and how many times they tried, they could not reach a consensus in a peaceful way. The most successful Once, it was to form the largest alliance of all mankind at that time, but unfortunately, when the founder died, the alliance immediately collapsed."
"In the end, it is still force that solves the problem."
Li Shen couldn't help showing a smile. This is the same as the truth he learned in Chang'an City - when you are weak, when you reason with people, people will only talk to you with fists, and when you are strong and show your fists, they will tell you. reason.
Since ancient times, it has never changed.
"The Illuminati can stand out among all the organizations because of the secret art of light. At that time, the manufacturing technology and resources mastered by humans were far from those of non-human races. If you want to improve your combat effectiveness, you can only rely on yourself. Practice fighting skills and improve the realm of cultivation. However, compared with the current cultivation methods at that time, they are not only imperfect, but also very dangerous, because the source veins in each person's body are different, and rashly practicing other people's cultivation methods is likely to cause serious damage. Abolish one's own source vein training, at least it will be disabled and paralyzed, and at worst it will die."
"Vincent, the founder of the Illuminati's original mentor, was a loser who practiced the wrong exercises and crippled his own hands. But after he was disabled, he did not give up on himself. Experience and knowledge are shared with others free of charge. As time goes by, more and more people are helped by him, and his knowledge and experience are also accumulated and grown in the constant cruising. Gradually, people began to call him, mentor .”
When Haitang mentioned this person, she was obviously a little more serious than before. Although it didn't show on her face and her tone didn't change, Li Shen could feel it.Although he didn't know why Haitang, who never liked to talk too much, suddenly began to talk about the history of the Illuminati at length, but he believed that she was not just doing it out of idleness, but must have a purpose.
So he listened carefully.
"The origin of the mentor has been practiced, and it is impossible for him to have the ability to fight non-human races in his life. Sometimes he even encounters scum among human beings. He has no power to protect himself. However, just as he has persisted all his life Parade to share knowledge, in this matter, he also did not give up."
"If power only comes from the body, then why does everyone believe in the existence of a soul? Even if they say they don't believe it, they have already accepted 'soul' as a kind of common sense... Of course, the teacher is not a lunatic who is obsessed with occultism. He didn’t hold an absolute attitude when he said it, he just discovered another thing through this incident.”
"That's the power of faith."
"The power of belief?" Li Shen couldn't help but interrupted, "Isn't it some kind of god-making theory? I seem to have heard that many people believe in something and then gain power from that thing... It feels like pure nonsense."
Haitang closed her eyelids, a slight smile appeared from the corner of her mouth, she shook her head and said, "You are talking about the power of faith, which is a concept of mysticism just like the theory of creation."
"The power of faith I'm talking about refers to a power that people can break through their own limits by strengthening their beliefs. The skills are not complicated, and everyone can learn them. It's just that the effects of using them are different depending on the individual's heart and willpower. That's all."
Seeing Li Shen's vaguely enlightened expression, she continued to explain: "Bright secret art is a special skill of how to use the power of faith developed by the instructor. At first, there was only one kind, the amplification technique, and the practice method is very simple. , For example, find a wooden barrel that you can't usually jump over, and then tell yourself repeatedly 'I can do it'... Of course, it is difficult to truly master it, and the effect of the increase varies from person to person. The tutor developed This technique was in an accidental mountain disaster, he could only hang on the cliff with a rope between his teeth... He persisted until the end, until he was discovered and rescued, during which time he kept biting the rope The rope lasted for more than four hours, and when he was discovered, he was actually unconscious, but he still did not let go."
"The mentor has researched two ways to use it during his lifetime, and his successors have continued to study on the basis of it. Up to now, there are hundreds of different light and secret techniques, and the effects are no longer limited to themselves. Those with advanced experience can use it. To exert an effect on others. The dotting technique I just used on you is the more difficult of the latter. It needs to attune itself with the spirit of the affected person, and then exert the desired influence on it, which is the most important The most important thing is the cooperation of the subject. Once the opponent has the idea of defying, the mental coordination will be broken, and the caster will suffer backlash, ranging from coma to mental trauma, and even mental disorder in the worst case. That is to become an idiot."
Li Shen frowned slightly, he didn't expect that there would be such a hidden danger in asking Haitang to perform the spell, that is to say, if he hadn't really opened up his heart and gave up his guard just now, then Haitang would suffer backlash... He suddenly came to his senses, stared Seeing Haitang sitting at the table, the other party suddenly told him so much, could it be that he was mentally traumatized and behaved disorderly?
Haitang could tell what he was thinking at a glance, an imperceptible crack appeared on his calm face, the corners of his mouth twitched strangely, and he said: "I didn't suffer backlash, and the mental synchronization was very successful, which is also I guess one of the reasons why you were hinted."
Li Shen, who had been seen through, smiled awkwardly, touched his nose, and reacted again, raised his head and said, "It's just one of the reasons, what else is there?"
"It's an unnatural trace." Haitang pointed to her heart, "From your heart, I feel an unnatural trace. It's hard to explain it in words. Only high-level people can perceive it from the attunement of others."
Li Shen was speechless, he confirmed that he had no experience of being mentally attuned like just now, from birth to now, but Haitang was not joking with him, she was obviously convinced that there was.
"As I said before, such deep-seated hints can only be effective for the first time." Haitang paused slightly, as if she was phrasing, "It doesn't refer specifically to the matter of getting you into the altar, but refers to Those things that are very difficult and completely exceed the limits of your body... For example, the wooden barrel jumping just mentioned, using an example of an ordinary person who has never opened the Heavenly Gate and has never practiced, if it is only a half-person-high wooden barrel, shallow level A hint is enough, but if it is a wooden barrel as tall as a person, it needs a deeper hint... I mean the situation of jumping on the spot without a run-up or other props."
Li Shen nodded to express his understanding, but this still didn't answer his question.
"If you are sure that I have been hinted at a deep level, how did the other party do it? I am sure that I have not been mentally attuned." He said.
Haitang didn't answer immediately, but stood up and walked over to take the teacup away from his hand, and made tea again.
She handed the cold tea to Li Shen's mouth.
"You are a person with a very firm will." She tilted the teacup slightly, and Li Shen could only open his mouth to take a sip when he saw this, silently accepting her appreciation.
"For those who use light secret art, willpower is their own combat power, which can be used to attack others or resist other people's attacks. Your high willpower means strong resistance. When you are prepared to guard against Under such circumstances, even I cannot use any light secret technique on you. If you are sure that no one has performed spiritual coordination on you, it can only mean that the person who hinted is absolutely trustworthy to you, subconsciously There will be no one in the slightest defense.”
Li Shen raised his head in disbelief.
For a long time, because of the talent of seeing a ghost, he has always lived in the malice of others.Even Yang Huxing had several painful memories, not to mention Feng He. Back then, the two of them were completely at odds, and they would fight when they met.
From the beginning to the end, there was no malice towards him, and the one he could trust wholeheartedly was his mother, and the other was Geng Yan.
But neither of them is a member of the Illuminati, and it is even more impossible for them to know any Illuminati secret arts... These two people occupied the most important positions in different periods of his life. Before the age of 16, he was his mother, and after the age of 16, he was Geng Yan.
No matter who it was, Li Shen couldn't accept it. At this moment, he almost instinctively chose to suspect that Haitang was lying to him.
...But why did Haitang lie to him?
Li Shen snatched the teacup from Haitang's hand in agitation, raised his head and drank it down, the cold tea could not calm him down, but instead made him think about something more: if it was really the hint they gave him, What was the hint, and why hadn't he noticed it at all?Isn't the so-called deep suggestion a big killer to break through the limit of the body?It's impossible to tell him to eat obediently and not to leave leftovers, right?
A hand was pressed against his cheek, the palm was cold, Haitang gently supported his face and shook her head.
"You don't need to think about these things now, what you should think about is how to enter the altar...Since I can't give you a hint, then rely on yourself, I have taught you the method, the so-called finishing touch is actually to treat others It’s just an augmentation technique. With your willpower, it’s not difficult to learn, as long as you master the trick, you will be able to master it very quickly.”
She smiled at him, like an iceberg, the ice flakes peeled off from the top corner, fleeting, but extremely stunning.
"I promised to help you enter the altar, and I will definitely do it."
………………
Datang calendar March 23, [-], Zhongtu, Chang'an.
The people living in this city, from the powerful to the common people, all smelled a strong smell of gunpowder in the shocking news that broke out one after another, but most of the people who panicked about it were those who had just arrived. For human beings, chaos is the norm, but the peace of the past two years is unusual.
Early in the morning, the adjutant went out in person and went to Shuxiangtang to buy a bowl of vegetarian noodles in red soup that Li Shen liked. No, I want to eat early tomorrow.
He drove back to the door with the lunch box, and saw someone standing outside, staring up at the courtyard wall, as if he was thinking about whether to turn over... Speaking of which, Wang Zhen, the concierge, was gone, and it was very troublesome for guests to come to the door.
The adjutant rushed to meet him.
"that……"
Hearing the voice, the visitor turned around at him. When he saw the other person's face, the adjutant was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously swallowed the words that came to his lips.
He has a black face, and a spot of white spots between his eyebrows is particularly conspicuous. This feature is not easy to recognize, even if he has never seen it for the first time... Qiu Xuetu is the second in the legend, and he is known as the "Black Faced King of Hades". two.
What is this guy doing here?The adjutant thought Xiaojiujiu in his heart, but he quickly put on a smile on his face, and continued the half-spoken words: "Master Qiu? You rare guest, um, what are you doing here?"
The black-faced Qiu Er turned his face coldly, looked at the adjutant for a moment, and said indifferently: "By the order of the prime minister, Li Shen is invited to the residence for a meeting, and please report quickly, I am sorry."
This style of painting is not on the same level, and it feels so difficult to communicate... The adjutant stared at the man with a piercing gaze, nodded coolly for a while, turned around and left with the lunch box.
So Qiu Er was left outside the door for another half an hour before he finally saw Li Shen who was still wearing a nightgown with a sleepy expression on his face.
"Hades looking for me? What's the matter?"
Li Shen asked straight to the point, his eyes squinted as if they were about to close.He learned the augmentation technique with Haitang for most of the night yesterday, exhausting his mind and body, both of them were exhausted... Let's say they have learned it, but only to the extent that they have learned it.
When Qiu Er saw him, he clasped his fists and replied solemnly: "The prime minister didn't say it clearly, you will know when you go, and I am ordered to come here. If you agree, please change your clothes quickly and set off with me."
Li Shen blinked.
"I don't understand." He said bluntly, looking at the other party with sincere eyes, "Please speak humanly."
Qiu Er was silent for a moment, and took a deep breath.
"Master Hei didn't say, you change your clothes and come with me."
As soon as the words were finished, the next second, Li Shen burst out laughing wildly, leaning on the door frame and laughing endlessly, and bent over laughing while pounding on the wall, almost bursting into tears.
Qiu Er, who was teased as a laughing stock not once or twice: "..."
Skip the episode. Although he doesn't know what Hades is looking for at this time, Li Shen still decides to go to the appointment.To him, the Blood Slaughter Guild Hall is not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den. On the contrary, since it is Hades' invitation, he can go to see the baby as a matter of course... Or, he mainly goes to see the baby, see Hades is secondary.
Qiu Er drove him back to the guild hall, along the way there were mercenaries everywhere, and when he entered Nancheng, it was even more lively than before.It seems that each family is adjusting their deployment of combat power according to the current situation. After all, no one knows what will happen next, and if they are not prepared, they are courting death.
Xuetu's guild hall was also a bustling scene. Li Shen was more familiar, and several of the single-digit ranks met on the way to the meeting place.The other party naturally had a bad face when he saw him. After all, if he was familiar, he must have met him on the battlefield... Well, to be precise, he was bullied by him on the battlefield.
Only the first year of high school was not seen.
The meeting place designated by Hades is the famous building of the Blood Slaughter Guild, the Book Tower.Each floor of the 30-storey book tower is filled with bookshelves, in which there are countless books collected since the establishment of Xuetu. There are human research materials, and even the recipes of the legendary chef... The value of this tower of books can buy several countries.
The meeting is on the very top floor, Hades' personal library.
The previous prime ministers of the blood slaughter would add a layer on the book tower to store their own books. Unlike the previous blood slaughter kings who often died prematurely, the prime ministers of the blood slaughter usually lived a long life, or in other words, the conditions for being a prime minister One, is to live long enough.In Hades' term alone, three Blood Slaughter Kings have already been replaced... According to the virtues of the Blood Slaughter 73, I am afraid that he will soon reach the fourth place.
Hades didn't wear that weird blue and white checked pajamas today, but a very formal black-bottomed gold cloak with a plain scholar's uniform inside. Although the color is plain, the texture is high-end and the workmanship is exquisite, which is rarely shown against the old man. The majestic demeanor made Li Shen stunned at the door for several seconds.
Qiu Er consciously closed the door and left. Li Shen was awakened by the sound of closing the door. He was a little surprised and said to Hades: "Why, such a big battle, Hongmen Banquet."
Hades smiled at him reservedly and calmly, and then he collapsed back on the chair in an instant, as if his bones had been pulled out, revealing his true nature.
The old man slumped lazily on the chair, waved to Li Shen, and said weakly: "The situation is tense, I have to put on a show for the people below... I heard that you canceled your license? Didn't you say that last time?" , you are courting death."
Li Shen sat down on the chair opposite him, grinned when he heard this, with a smirk: "I've already counted them, don't worry about it."
"The devil is worried about you." The old man answered immediately, then straightened his face slightly, and said, "I don't want to mention this, I have a serious business with you, um, but I have to confirm first, how much do you know about the current situation?"
Li Shen picked up the teapot on the table, washed the cup and poured tea for himself, without raising his head, he said, "Just pretend I don't know anything."
In response to this perfunctory answer, Hades smiled instead, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll tell you something." He seemed to think of something while talking, stood up, and went to the cabinet next to him. After looking around, I found a deck of playing cards that were a bit old.
Hades spread out the playing cards on the table, picked a few of them, and pushed the rest away.
He picked up a diamond K and a heart Q.
"This king refers to the glow, and this queen refers to me." He said, putting the two cards side by side on the right side of the table, and then picked up two more cards, namely the big ghost and the little ghost .
"Now, according to what I know, there should be two groups of people whose identities are unknown and stirred up this mess, so I will use these two cards to refer to them."
He placed the two joker cards on the left side of the table, exactly corresponding to the king and queen on the right side, and then divided the cards he had just removed into two halves, placing one half on the left and the other on the right.
"The current main camp is like this. One side is Chang'an City, and the other side is foreign. In fact, I think you have guessed it. Yes, it is still the old rival Illuminati, but this time they seem to be divided into two factions. There are so many inconsistencies that I can't help but think otherwise."
Li Shen nodded to express his understanding.
"What is the biggest conflict between the Illuminati and us? Why are they entangled with Chang'an? Well, let's use an analogy, look here." The old man reached out and nodded to the king and queen on the right, "Here, this They are playing fried golden flowers."
He pointed to the twin ghosts on the left: "The landlords are fighting over there."
Then he smiled, a very, um, obscene smile.
"Fried Golden Flower doesn't bring ghosts. Of course they are not happy if we don't take them to play. So, they want to force their way in and take us to play Doudizhu together..."
Li Shen unceremoniously interrupted his self-consciously humorous analogy, and asked, "Then why did you choose Yang Huxing? Even if you kill him, they won't get anything."
Hades laughed twice, and under Li Shen's icy gaze, he stopped laughing, casually took out a card from the pile, and put it upside down on the table.
"Here, this is Yang Xingxing." He said, moving the upside-down cards to the edge of the table, "He doesn't play Zajinhua or Doudizhu with others, he just plays solitaire to entertain himself Le... It doesn't seem to matter, but if I am a big or small ghost, I will kill him first."
Li Shen narrowed his eyes, didn't respond, thoughtful.
"Although the degree is different, just like the big and small ghosts, he is also someone who wants to change the rules of the game in this city." Hades explained patiently, pressing the upside-down cards with his fingers and turning around the king and queen on the table, "Just like the king and queen fighting each other endlessly, the reason why big and small ghosts want to kill Yang Hingxing is also the same reason, and the most important thing is that Yang Hingxing made them feel threatened... not only them, but also the king and queen. "
"Although the solitaire game is still immature, it is also a brand new rule. For Zajinhua and Doudizhu who have been fighting for countless years, if another solitaire emerges, it will be a real big trouble. "
"So one side fought and the other side watched. Both sides chose to kill Yang Huxing first. This is called the tacit understanding between old enemies."
With a light swipe of the old man's finger, the upside-down card broke silently, flew upwards, and fell lightly out of the table.Li Shen watched the flying cards, slowly leaned back on the back of the chair, and wiped his face wearily.
He wasn't completely unaware... As early as when Yang Huxing disclosed Yang's method of opening the sky, the fierce reactions from all parties had already alerted him.That time he forcibly intervened to support Yang Hsing to the end, and killed a bunch of people, forcing all parties to shut up. To be honest, he was also a little scared after the killing.
At that time, he felt that Yang Huxing was doing good deeds, but he was scolded and accused of doing good deeds. He even wanted to destroy the Huxing Group, drive Yang Huxing out of Chang'an, or simply wanted to take his life.He couldn't understand or accept such a thing.
Now, he was puzzled by Hades' words, and the answer made him feel extremely complicated.
Even if Li Shen didn't accept it, it was enough as a reason for the Illuminati and Chang'an City to jointly kill Yang Huxing.Although Yang Huxing failed to develop the Yang family's method of ascending to immortality in the end, the changes brought about by Yang's method of opening up the sky are obvious to all. Just like that sentence, Chang'an City is now full of immortal roads, and the gate of heaven is not as good as a dog.Learning Yang's method of opening the sky has become a part of the experience for young people who are new to Chang'an City, and this small exercise is also passing through Chang'an, spreading to the whole land...
If everyone learns Yang's method of opening the sky, wouldn't everyone be regarded as Yang Huxing's disciple?Even if only one out of ten people remembers this kindness, it is quite a terrifying energy.
"This time, it was the hands of big and small ghosts. The king and queen acquiesced, and even assisted secretly." Hades said indifferently, even though the queen in it was referring to himself, "then killed Yang Huxing. , the two sides should deal with each other, but before that, they also have internal problems."
"On the side of Doudizhu, the big ghost discovered the existence of the little ghost, and has not made any new moves yet. On the side of Paojinhua, the king sees that the situation is going to be chaotic. At that time, he will definitely not be able to hide and be the first to go on top, so the queen must be killed first. Cut it off, so as not to be taken advantage of by it... As for the newly emerging clown, oh, I mean the Geng Army, although it is fierce, its foundation is too thin and too young to threaten his position. Surviving the coming chaos is a matter of choice.”
Li Shen did not deny Hades' evaluation of the Geng Army. Although the Geng Army was hailed as a miracle, which of the top ten mercenary regiments in Chang'an was not recognized as a miracle at the time of its rise?Even the shortest Huofeng has a history of 100 years. Compared with them, the Geng Army is indeed too young.
He sorted out the information in Hades' words in his mind, frowned and asked, "Hui Guang wants to attack Xue Tu?"
"It's not about it, it's already." Hades corrected.
Li Shen was slightly taken aback.
"Last night, Gao Yi was assassinated. Now he is back and his life is saved, but his legs are disabled, so he can only use a wheelchair in the future."
Hades clearly used declarative sentences, but Li Shen heard a strong sense of emotion from them, and this emotion was passed on to him without reservation.
——Being a mercenary, what else can you do if you lose your legs?
"Who did it?" he asked quietly.
The old man closed his eyes, sighed silently, cast his eyes on the poker on the table, and did not answer Li Shen's question. After a while, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Do you know what you are in this deck of cards?"
This turn was so fast that Li Shen almost couldn't keep up. He was startled, and then said, "Isn't it referring to power? What does it have to do with me?"
Hades looked over with the eyes of a fool, with an expression like you are so stupid, does your mother know that, Li Shen just wanted to slap him...
"You are this."
The old man held up an ace of spades to Li Shen.
"Zha Jin Hua Li, the real trump card."
The small playing card was sandwiched between two slightly thin fingers, and the black heart on it was shining brightly in front of Li Shen's eyes. The Ace of Spades, the biggest card in the fried golden flower, this metaphor made his eyelids twitch. Smoke, make sure you read or hear correctly.
Then he said to Hades very seriously: "Are you kidding me?"
The old man was neither angry nor angry, just smiled at him.
"You are the real trump card, there is no doubt about it, no matter the king or the queen, whoever gets you will be the winner in this game...Of course, if you stay in the Geng army and don't move, you can do whatever you want, don't force it. "
Li Shen felt that he was highly regarded, and he was flattered by a particularly high opinion.But he didn't bother to argue with the other party about this issue, so he simply skipped it and changed the subject: "Why did you come to me? Tell me directly."
"Heh." Hades laughed, put the Ace of Spades in his hand next to the Q of Hearts on the table, and raised his chin at Li Shen, "Here."
He put on his old face very seriously to show off his cuteness to Li Shen.
"Look, the king wants to cut me, so I want to ask you to cooperate and cut him back."
"what?"
Li Shen's reaction was quite straightforward.
"What do you say?"
The old man then repeated: "I asked you to join hands with me to exploit the glow, do you want to do it?"
Li Shen was puzzled at first, then fell silent again.He unconsciously stroked the rim of the teacup with his fingers, and looked at the playing cards on the table in a daze.
Hades took the opportunity to seduce him.
"On the matter of killing Yang Xingxing, I was just a spectator. Li Tieyi helped secretly. Without his operation, it is absolutely impossible for the sixteen hidden letters to be sent at that time. You Do you understand?"
When it comes to the strength of control over the mercenary guild, Huiguang considers himself number two, and no one dares to say number one.The sixteen hidden letters did not come from the same family, nor were they sent to the same family, but they were sent to the top ten mercenary regiments in Chang'an City at the same time. If there is no one to manipulate them, ghosts will believe them.
But that's not the point.
"The question is why should I help you?" Li Shen frowned. "Why do you have the confidence to think that I won't trouble you? How dare you come to me to cooperate?"
He didn't wait for Hades to reply, and continued: "I'm here as a guest, and for the sake of you explaining my confusion, let's forget it this time. Cooperation is impossible. Next time I come, I will definitely settle with you." It's Yang Xingxing's account."
After speaking, Li Shen stood up and strode towards the door without any hesitation.
"Oh, you don't care about Feng He's life or death?"
Hades said so.
Li Shen stopped.
"The guild's verdict will come out today." The old man said flatly, "Actually, the verdict was made yesterday, but both Da Mo and the Geng Army are working hard, and I also helped by the way, so it was delayed until today. "
"If there is no decisive turning point within today, Fenghe will definitely die."
"And he will die miserably. Believe me, none of the people I've seen so far who have been listed as being killed by the guild have ended well. The worst thing is that relatives and friends can't help and can only watch helplessly. Do you want to experience the feeling of helplessness and despair but being unable to do anything?"
Li Shen's neck was like a clockwork puppet, he turned around and looked at the old man sitting at the table.
"... Tell me about your conditions."
"I just said it." Hades said with a smile, it seemed to be a smile that had predicted Li Shen's answer, and it was really annoying to see, "Cooperate with Pit Glory, come or not?"
Li Shen silently clenched his fists.
"Can you save Fenghe?"
His voice is dry, and every word is uncomfortable, this feeling of being held in the palm of the hand... The opponent undoubtedly grasped an absolutely effective handle, and Li Shen, who wanted to jump out of the chessboard, Pull it back abruptly.
"Li Tieyi can send sixteen secret letters that should be top secret at the same time, and I can naturally change a judgment result. Feng He didn't see Wang Zhen activate the armor booster with his own eyes. When he arrived, he was about to die. Yes, it is reasonable to save it, this is an unintentional mistake..."
Hearing Hades' serious nonsense, Li Shen was slightly amused, but also somewhat inexplicably disgusted.The so-called iron law of mercenaries was played in this way, and it was only then that Luo Qiangqiang took secretly accepting murder commissions as common sense.
He doesn't like this kind of thing at all, blood is shed in this city, and it smells of corruption.
But no matter what...
"I promise you."
Li Shen opened his mouth and said word for word.
"As long as Fenghe can be saved, I will cooperate with you to deal with Huiguang."
"Only this time, the next time is not an example."
Pa, pa, twice, Hades clapped his hands slowly twice, making a final conclusion on the matter——
"make a deal."
Li Shen categorically denied it, and his already gloomy face became even more difficult to look at.He held his slightly dizzy head with his left hand, paused for a moment, and explained to Haitang: "I mean, if you are the only one who hints at this method, then I can be sure that no one has done it to me."
"There is no prescriptive way to apply the finishing touch."
Haitang was not annoyed because her deduction was denied, she turned around and walked back to the table as she spoke, and made a cup of tea for Li Shen.The tea was slightly cold, but it was just right for the current Li Shen. While sipping the tea slowly, he turned his confused eyes to Haitang.
Facing him, Haitang sat down at the table.
"Do you know the origin of the Illuminati?" she asked.
Li Shen didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this, nodded and said: "During the dark age of the Millennium War, people spontaneously formed mutual aid organizations to find light in the darkness, and gradually developed and expanded to become the Illuminati Society."
Due to the dominance of Chang'an in Middle-earth and the inextricable feud between it and the Illuminati, the influence of the Illuminati in Middle-earth is negligible. For those who don't know Westland, the Illuminati is already a distant concept.Most of Li Shen's understanding of the Illuminati came from Haitang, and common sense like this was gradually learned after getting to know Haitang.
"This is a short statement, but in fact, in that era, there were many human mutual aid organizations at the beginning. Even in a desperate situation, the inferiority of human beings still will not disappear. The pursuit of power, the pursuit of wealth, various organizations They are also full of contradictions, and in the crisis of genocide, they are still fighting each other for some territory or resources."
Haitang narrated that period of history in a quiet voice, and the dark age she spoke of unfolded in front of Li Shen's eyes like a picture scroll.
"At that time, almost everyone knew that if they could not be united, then human beings would really perish. But no matter how hard the aspirants put in and how many times they tried, they could not reach a consensus in a peaceful way. The most successful Once, it was to form the largest alliance of all mankind at that time, but unfortunately, when the founder died, the alliance immediately collapsed."
"In the end, it is still force that solves the problem."
Li Shen couldn't help showing a smile. This is the same as the truth he learned in Chang'an City - when you are weak, when you reason with people, people will only talk to you with fists, and when you are strong and show your fists, they will tell you. reason.
Since ancient times, it has never changed.
"The Illuminati can stand out among all the organizations because of the secret art of light. At that time, the manufacturing technology and resources mastered by humans were far from those of non-human races. If you want to improve your combat effectiveness, you can only rely on yourself. Practice fighting skills and improve the realm of cultivation. However, compared with the current cultivation methods at that time, they are not only imperfect, but also very dangerous, because the source veins in each person's body are different, and rashly practicing other people's cultivation methods is likely to cause serious damage. Abolish one's own source vein training, at least it will be disabled and paralyzed, and at worst it will die."
"Vincent, the founder of the Illuminati's original mentor, was a loser who practiced the wrong exercises and crippled his own hands. But after he was disabled, he did not give up on himself. Experience and knowledge are shared with others free of charge. As time goes by, more and more people are helped by him, and his knowledge and experience are also accumulated and grown in the constant cruising. Gradually, people began to call him, mentor .”
When Haitang mentioned this person, she was obviously a little more serious than before. Although it didn't show on her face and her tone didn't change, Li Shen could feel it.Although he didn't know why Haitang, who never liked to talk too much, suddenly began to talk about the history of the Illuminati at length, but he believed that she was not just doing it out of idleness, but must have a purpose.
So he listened carefully.
"The origin of the mentor has been practiced, and it is impossible for him to have the ability to fight non-human races in his life. Sometimes he even encounters scum among human beings. He has no power to protect himself. However, just as he has persisted all his life Parade to share knowledge, in this matter, he also did not give up."
"If power only comes from the body, then why does everyone believe in the existence of a soul? Even if they say they don't believe it, they have already accepted 'soul' as a kind of common sense... Of course, the teacher is not a lunatic who is obsessed with occultism. He didn’t hold an absolute attitude when he said it, he just discovered another thing through this incident.”
"That's the power of faith."
"The power of belief?" Li Shen couldn't help but interrupted, "Isn't it some kind of god-making theory? I seem to have heard that many people believe in something and then gain power from that thing... It feels like pure nonsense."
Haitang closed her eyelids, a slight smile appeared from the corner of her mouth, she shook her head and said, "You are talking about the power of faith, which is a concept of mysticism just like the theory of creation."
"The power of faith I'm talking about refers to a power that people can break through their own limits by strengthening their beliefs. The skills are not complicated, and everyone can learn them. It's just that the effects of using them are different depending on the individual's heart and willpower. That's all."
Seeing Li Shen's vaguely enlightened expression, she continued to explain: "Bright secret art is a special skill of how to use the power of faith developed by the instructor. At first, there was only one kind, the amplification technique, and the practice method is very simple. , For example, find a wooden barrel that you can't usually jump over, and then tell yourself repeatedly 'I can do it'... Of course, it is difficult to truly master it, and the effect of the increase varies from person to person. The tutor developed This technique was in an accidental mountain disaster, he could only hang on the cliff with a rope between his teeth... He persisted until the end, until he was discovered and rescued, during which time he kept biting the rope The rope lasted for more than four hours, and when he was discovered, he was actually unconscious, but he still did not let go."
"The mentor has researched two ways to use it during his lifetime, and his successors have continued to study on the basis of it. Up to now, there are hundreds of different light and secret techniques, and the effects are no longer limited to themselves. Those with advanced experience can use it. To exert an effect on others. The dotting technique I just used on you is the more difficult of the latter. It needs to attune itself with the spirit of the affected person, and then exert the desired influence on it, which is the most important The most important thing is the cooperation of the subject. Once the opponent has the idea of defying, the mental coordination will be broken, and the caster will suffer backlash, ranging from coma to mental trauma, and even mental disorder in the worst case. That is to become an idiot."
Li Shen frowned slightly, he didn't expect that there would be such a hidden danger in asking Haitang to perform the spell, that is to say, if he hadn't really opened up his heart and gave up his guard just now, then Haitang would suffer backlash... He suddenly came to his senses, stared Seeing Haitang sitting at the table, the other party suddenly told him so much, could it be that he was mentally traumatized and behaved disorderly?
Haitang could tell what he was thinking at a glance, an imperceptible crack appeared on his calm face, the corners of his mouth twitched strangely, and he said: "I didn't suffer backlash, and the mental synchronization was very successful, which is also I guess one of the reasons why you were hinted."
Li Shen, who had been seen through, smiled awkwardly, touched his nose, and reacted again, raised his head and said, "It's just one of the reasons, what else is there?"
"It's an unnatural trace." Haitang pointed to her heart, "From your heart, I feel an unnatural trace. It's hard to explain it in words. Only high-level people can perceive it from the attunement of others."
Li Shen was speechless, he confirmed that he had no experience of being mentally attuned like just now, from birth to now, but Haitang was not joking with him, she was obviously convinced that there was.
"As I said before, such deep-seated hints can only be effective for the first time." Haitang paused slightly, as if she was phrasing, "It doesn't refer specifically to the matter of getting you into the altar, but refers to Those things that are very difficult and completely exceed the limits of your body... For example, the wooden barrel jumping just mentioned, using an example of an ordinary person who has never opened the Heavenly Gate and has never practiced, if it is only a half-person-high wooden barrel, shallow level A hint is enough, but if it is a wooden barrel as tall as a person, it needs a deeper hint... I mean the situation of jumping on the spot without a run-up or other props."
Li Shen nodded to express his understanding, but this still didn't answer his question.
"If you are sure that I have been hinted at a deep level, how did the other party do it? I am sure that I have not been mentally attuned." He said.
Haitang didn't answer immediately, but stood up and walked over to take the teacup away from his hand, and made tea again.
She handed the cold tea to Li Shen's mouth.
"You are a person with a very firm will." She tilted the teacup slightly, and Li Shen could only open his mouth to take a sip when he saw this, silently accepting her appreciation.
"For those who use light secret art, willpower is their own combat power, which can be used to attack others or resist other people's attacks. Your high willpower means strong resistance. When you are prepared to guard against Under such circumstances, even I cannot use any light secret technique on you. If you are sure that no one has performed spiritual coordination on you, it can only mean that the person who hinted is absolutely trustworthy to you, subconsciously There will be no one in the slightest defense.”
Li Shen raised his head in disbelief.
For a long time, because of the talent of seeing a ghost, he has always lived in the malice of others.Even Yang Huxing had several painful memories, not to mention Feng He. Back then, the two of them were completely at odds, and they would fight when they met.
From the beginning to the end, there was no malice towards him, and the one he could trust wholeheartedly was his mother, and the other was Geng Yan.
But neither of them is a member of the Illuminati, and it is even more impossible for them to know any Illuminati secret arts... These two people occupied the most important positions in different periods of his life. Before the age of 16, he was his mother, and after the age of 16, he was Geng Yan.
No matter who it was, Li Shen couldn't accept it. At this moment, he almost instinctively chose to suspect that Haitang was lying to him.
...But why did Haitang lie to him?
Li Shen snatched the teacup from Haitang's hand in agitation, raised his head and drank it down, the cold tea could not calm him down, but instead made him think about something more: if it was really the hint they gave him, What was the hint, and why hadn't he noticed it at all?Isn't the so-called deep suggestion a big killer to break through the limit of the body?It's impossible to tell him to eat obediently and not to leave leftovers, right?
A hand was pressed against his cheek, the palm was cold, Haitang gently supported his face and shook her head.
"You don't need to think about these things now, what you should think about is how to enter the altar...Since I can't give you a hint, then rely on yourself, I have taught you the method, the so-called finishing touch is actually to treat others It’s just an augmentation technique. With your willpower, it’s not difficult to learn, as long as you master the trick, you will be able to master it very quickly.”
She smiled at him, like an iceberg, the ice flakes peeled off from the top corner, fleeting, but extremely stunning.
"I promised to help you enter the altar, and I will definitely do it."
………………
Datang calendar March 23, [-], Zhongtu, Chang'an.
The people living in this city, from the powerful to the common people, all smelled a strong smell of gunpowder in the shocking news that broke out one after another, but most of the people who panicked about it were those who had just arrived. For human beings, chaos is the norm, but the peace of the past two years is unusual.
Early in the morning, the adjutant went out in person and went to Shuxiangtang to buy a bowl of vegetarian noodles in red soup that Li Shen liked. No, I want to eat early tomorrow.
He drove back to the door with the lunch box, and saw someone standing outside, staring up at the courtyard wall, as if he was thinking about whether to turn over... Speaking of which, Wang Zhen, the concierge, was gone, and it was very troublesome for guests to come to the door.
The adjutant rushed to meet him.
"that……"
Hearing the voice, the visitor turned around at him. When he saw the other person's face, the adjutant was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously swallowed the words that came to his lips.
He has a black face, and a spot of white spots between his eyebrows is particularly conspicuous. This feature is not easy to recognize, even if he has never seen it for the first time... Qiu Xuetu is the second in the legend, and he is known as the "Black Faced King of Hades". two.
What is this guy doing here?The adjutant thought Xiaojiujiu in his heart, but he quickly put on a smile on his face, and continued the half-spoken words: "Master Qiu? You rare guest, um, what are you doing here?"
The black-faced Qiu Er turned his face coldly, looked at the adjutant for a moment, and said indifferently: "By the order of the prime minister, Li Shen is invited to the residence for a meeting, and please report quickly, I am sorry."
This style of painting is not on the same level, and it feels so difficult to communicate... The adjutant stared at the man with a piercing gaze, nodded coolly for a while, turned around and left with the lunch box.
So Qiu Er was left outside the door for another half an hour before he finally saw Li Shen who was still wearing a nightgown with a sleepy expression on his face.
"Hades looking for me? What's the matter?"
Li Shen asked straight to the point, his eyes squinted as if they were about to close.He learned the augmentation technique with Haitang for most of the night yesterday, exhausting his mind and body, both of them were exhausted... Let's say they have learned it, but only to the extent that they have learned it.
When Qiu Er saw him, he clasped his fists and replied solemnly: "The prime minister didn't say it clearly, you will know when you go, and I am ordered to come here. If you agree, please change your clothes quickly and set off with me."
Li Shen blinked.
"I don't understand." He said bluntly, looking at the other party with sincere eyes, "Please speak humanly."
Qiu Er was silent for a moment, and took a deep breath.
"Master Hei didn't say, you change your clothes and come with me."
As soon as the words were finished, the next second, Li Shen burst out laughing wildly, leaning on the door frame and laughing endlessly, and bent over laughing while pounding on the wall, almost bursting into tears.
Qiu Er, who was teased as a laughing stock not once or twice: "..."
Skip the episode. Although he doesn't know what Hades is looking for at this time, Li Shen still decides to go to the appointment.To him, the Blood Slaughter Guild Hall is not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den. On the contrary, since it is Hades' invitation, he can go to see the baby as a matter of course... Or, he mainly goes to see the baby, see Hades is secondary.
Qiu Er drove him back to the guild hall, along the way there were mercenaries everywhere, and when he entered Nancheng, it was even more lively than before.It seems that each family is adjusting their deployment of combat power according to the current situation. After all, no one knows what will happen next, and if they are not prepared, they are courting death.
Xuetu's guild hall was also a bustling scene. Li Shen was more familiar, and several of the single-digit ranks met on the way to the meeting place.The other party naturally had a bad face when he saw him. After all, if he was familiar, he must have met him on the battlefield... Well, to be precise, he was bullied by him on the battlefield.
Only the first year of high school was not seen.
The meeting place designated by Hades is the famous building of the Blood Slaughter Guild, the Book Tower.Each floor of the 30-storey book tower is filled with bookshelves, in which there are countless books collected since the establishment of Xuetu. There are human research materials, and even the recipes of the legendary chef... The value of this tower of books can buy several countries.
The meeting is on the very top floor, Hades' personal library.
The previous prime ministers of the blood slaughter would add a layer on the book tower to store their own books. Unlike the previous blood slaughter kings who often died prematurely, the prime ministers of the blood slaughter usually lived a long life, or in other words, the conditions for being a prime minister One, is to live long enough.In Hades' term alone, three Blood Slaughter Kings have already been replaced... According to the virtues of the Blood Slaughter 73, I am afraid that he will soon reach the fourth place.
Hades didn't wear that weird blue and white checked pajamas today, but a very formal black-bottomed gold cloak with a plain scholar's uniform inside. Although the color is plain, the texture is high-end and the workmanship is exquisite, which is rarely shown against the old man. The majestic demeanor made Li Shen stunned at the door for several seconds.
Qiu Er consciously closed the door and left. Li Shen was awakened by the sound of closing the door. He was a little surprised and said to Hades: "Why, such a big battle, Hongmen Banquet."
Hades smiled at him reservedly and calmly, and then he collapsed back on the chair in an instant, as if his bones had been pulled out, revealing his true nature.
The old man slumped lazily on the chair, waved to Li Shen, and said weakly: "The situation is tense, I have to put on a show for the people below... I heard that you canceled your license? Didn't you say that last time?" , you are courting death."
Li Shen sat down on the chair opposite him, grinned when he heard this, with a smirk: "I've already counted them, don't worry about it."
"The devil is worried about you." The old man answered immediately, then straightened his face slightly, and said, "I don't want to mention this, I have a serious business with you, um, but I have to confirm first, how much do you know about the current situation?"
Li Shen picked up the teapot on the table, washed the cup and poured tea for himself, without raising his head, he said, "Just pretend I don't know anything."
In response to this perfunctory answer, Hades smiled instead, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll tell you something." He seemed to think of something while talking, stood up, and went to the cabinet next to him. After looking around, I found a deck of playing cards that were a bit old.
Hades spread out the playing cards on the table, picked a few of them, and pushed the rest away.
He picked up a diamond K and a heart Q.
"This king refers to the glow, and this queen refers to me." He said, putting the two cards side by side on the right side of the table, and then picked up two more cards, namely the big ghost and the little ghost .
"Now, according to what I know, there should be two groups of people whose identities are unknown and stirred up this mess, so I will use these two cards to refer to them."
He placed the two joker cards on the left side of the table, exactly corresponding to the king and queen on the right side, and then divided the cards he had just removed into two halves, placing one half on the left and the other on the right.
"The current main camp is like this. One side is Chang'an City, and the other side is foreign. In fact, I think you have guessed it. Yes, it is still the old rival Illuminati, but this time they seem to be divided into two factions. There are so many inconsistencies that I can't help but think otherwise."
Li Shen nodded to express his understanding.
"What is the biggest conflict between the Illuminati and us? Why are they entangled with Chang'an? Well, let's use an analogy, look here." The old man reached out and nodded to the king and queen on the right, "Here, this They are playing fried golden flowers."
He pointed to the twin ghosts on the left: "The landlords are fighting over there."
Then he smiled, a very, um, obscene smile.
"Fried Golden Flower doesn't bring ghosts. Of course they are not happy if we don't take them to play. So, they want to force their way in and take us to play Doudizhu together..."
Li Shen unceremoniously interrupted his self-consciously humorous analogy, and asked, "Then why did you choose Yang Huxing? Even if you kill him, they won't get anything."
Hades laughed twice, and under Li Shen's icy gaze, he stopped laughing, casually took out a card from the pile, and put it upside down on the table.
"Here, this is Yang Xingxing." He said, moving the upside-down cards to the edge of the table, "He doesn't play Zajinhua or Doudizhu with others, he just plays solitaire to entertain himself Le... It doesn't seem to matter, but if I am a big or small ghost, I will kill him first."
Li Shen narrowed his eyes, didn't respond, thoughtful.
"Although the degree is different, just like the big and small ghosts, he is also someone who wants to change the rules of the game in this city." Hades explained patiently, pressing the upside-down cards with his fingers and turning around the king and queen on the table, "Just like the king and queen fighting each other endlessly, the reason why big and small ghosts want to kill Yang Hingxing is also the same reason, and the most important thing is that Yang Hingxing made them feel threatened... not only them, but also the king and queen. "
"Although the solitaire game is still immature, it is also a brand new rule. For Zajinhua and Doudizhu who have been fighting for countless years, if another solitaire emerges, it will be a real big trouble. "
"So one side fought and the other side watched. Both sides chose to kill Yang Huxing first. This is called the tacit understanding between old enemies."
With a light swipe of the old man's finger, the upside-down card broke silently, flew upwards, and fell lightly out of the table.Li Shen watched the flying cards, slowly leaned back on the back of the chair, and wiped his face wearily.
He wasn't completely unaware... As early as when Yang Huxing disclosed Yang's method of opening the sky, the fierce reactions from all parties had already alerted him.That time he forcibly intervened to support Yang Hsing to the end, and killed a bunch of people, forcing all parties to shut up. To be honest, he was also a little scared after the killing.
At that time, he felt that Yang Huxing was doing good deeds, but he was scolded and accused of doing good deeds. He even wanted to destroy the Huxing Group, drive Yang Huxing out of Chang'an, or simply wanted to take his life.He couldn't understand or accept such a thing.
Now, he was puzzled by Hades' words, and the answer made him feel extremely complicated.
Even if Li Shen didn't accept it, it was enough as a reason for the Illuminati and Chang'an City to jointly kill Yang Huxing.Although Yang Huxing failed to develop the Yang family's method of ascending to immortality in the end, the changes brought about by Yang's method of opening up the sky are obvious to all. Just like that sentence, Chang'an City is now full of immortal roads, and the gate of heaven is not as good as a dog.Learning Yang's method of opening the sky has become a part of the experience for young people who are new to Chang'an City, and this small exercise is also passing through Chang'an, spreading to the whole land...
If everyone learns Yang's method of opening the sky, wouldn't everyone be regarded as Yang Huxing's disciple?Even if only one out of ten people remembers this kindness, it is quite a terrifying energy.
"This time, it was the hands of big and small ghosts. The king and queen acquiesced, and even assisted secretly." Hades said indifferently, even though the queen in it was referring to himself, "then killed Yang Huxing. , the two sides should deal with each other, but before that, they also have internal problems."
"On the side of Doudizhu, the big ghost discovered the existence of the little ghost, and has not made any new moves yet. On the side of Paojinhua, the king sees that the situation is going to be chaotic. At that time, he will definitely not be able to hide and be the first to go on top, so the queen must be killed first. Cut it off, so as not to be taken advantage of by it... As for the newly emerging clown, oh, I mean the Geng Army, although it is fierce, its foundation is too thin and too young to threaten his position. Surviving the coming chaos is a matter of choice.”
Li Shen did not deny Hades' evaluation of the Geng Army. Although the Geng Army was hailed as a miracle, which of the top ten mercenary regiments in Chang'an was not recognized as a miracle at the time of its rise?Even the shortest Huofeng has a history of 100 years. Compared with them, the Geng Army is indeed too young.
He sorted out the information in Hades' words in his mind, frowned and asked, "Hui Guang wants to attack Xue Tu?"
"It's not about it, it's already." Hades corrected.
Li Shen was slightly taken aback.
"Last night, Gao Yi was assassinated. Now he is back and his life is saved, but his legs are disabled, so he can only use a wheelchair in the future."
Hades clearly used declarative sentences, but Li Shen heard a strong sense of emotion from them, and this emotion was passed on to him without reservation.
——Being a mercenary, what else can you do if you lose your legs?
"Who did it?" he asked quietly.
The old man closed his eyes, sighed silently, cast his eyes on the poker on the table, and did not answer Li Shen's question. After a while, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Do you know what you are in this deck of cards?"
This turn was so fast that Li Shen almost couldn't keep up. He was startled, and then said, "Isn't it referring to power? What does it have to do with me?"
Hades looked over with the eyes of a fool, with an expression like you are so stupid, does your mother know that, Li Shen just wanted to slap him...
"You are this."
The old man held up an ace of spades to Li Shen.
"Zha Jin Hua Li, the real trump card."
The small playing card was sandwiched between two slightly thin fingers, and the black heart on it was shining brightly in front of Li Shen's eyes. The Ace of Spades, the biggest card in the fried golden flower, this metaphor made his eyelids twitch. Smoke, make sure you read or hear correctly.
Then he said to Hades very seriously: "Are you kidding me?"
The old man was neither angry nor angry, just smiled at him.
"You are the real trump card, there is no doubt about it, no matter the king or the queen, whoever gets you will be the winner in this game...Of course, if you stay in the Geng army and don't move, you can do whatever you want, don't force it. "
Li Shen felt that he was highly regarded, and he was flattered by a particularly high opinion.But he didn't bother to argue with the other party about this issue, so he simply skipped it and changed the subject: "Why did you come to me? Tell me directly."
"Heh." Hades laughed, put the Ace of Spades in his hand next to the Q of Hearts on the table, and raised his chin at Li Shen, "Here."
He put on his old face very seriously to show off his cuteness to Li Shen.
"Look, the king wants to cut me, so I want to ask you to cooperate and cut him back."
"what?"
Li Shen's reaction was quite straightforward.
"What do you say?"
The old man then repeated: "I asked you to join hands with me to exploit the glow, do you want to do it?"
Li Shen was puzzled at first, then fell silent again.He unconsciously stroked the rim of the teacup with his fingers, and looked at the playing cards on the table in a daze.
Hades took the opportunity to seduce him.
"On the matter of killing Yang Xingxing, I was just a spectator. Li Tieyi helped secretly. Without his operation, it is absolutely impossible for the sixteen hidden letters to be sent at that time. You Do you understand?"
When it comes to the strength of control over the mercenary guild, Huiguang considers himself number two, and no one dares to say number one.The sixteen hidden letters did not come from the same family, nor were they sent to the same family, but they were sent to the top ten mercenary regiments in Chang'an City at the same time. If there is no one to manipulate them, ghosts will believe them.
But that's not the point.
"The question is why should I help you?" Li Shen frowned. "Why do you have the confidence to think that I won't trouble you? How dare you come to me to cooperate?"
He didn't wait for Hades to reply, and continued: "I'm here as a guest, and for the sake of you explaining my confusion, let's forget it this time. Cooperation is impossible. Next time I come, I will definitely settle with you." It's Yang Xingxing's account."
After speaking, Li Shen stood up and strode towards the door without any hesitation.
"Oh, you don't care about Feng He's life or death?"
Hades said so.
Li Shen stopped.
"The guild's verdict will come out today." The old man said flatly, "Actually, the verdict was made yesterday, but both Da Mo and the Geng Army are working hard, and I also helped by the way, so it was delayed until today. "
"If there is no decisive turning point within today, Fenghe will definitely die."
"And he will die miserably. Believe me, none of the people I've seen so far who have been listed as being killed by the guild have ended well. The worst thing is that relatives and friends can't help and can only watch helplessly. Do you want to experience the feeling of helplessness and despair but being unable to do anything?"
Li Shen's neck was like a clockwork puppet, he turned around and looked at the old man sitting at the table.
"... Tell me about your conditions."
"I just said it." Hades said with a smile, it seemed to be a smile that had predicted Li Shen's answer, and it was really annoying to see, "Cooperate with Pit Glory, come or not?"
Li Shen silently clenched his fists.
"Can you save Fenghe?"
His voice is dry, and every word is uncomfortable, this feeling of being held in the palm of the hand... The opponent undoubtedly grasped an absolutely effective handle, and Li Shen, who wanted to jump out of the chessboard, Pull it back abruptly.
"Li Tieyi can send sixteen secret letters that should be top secret at the same time, and I can naturally change a judgment result. Feng He didn't see Wang Zhen activate the armor booster with his own eyes. When he arrived, he was about to die. Yes, it is reasonable to save it, this is an unintentional mistake..."
Hearing Hades' serious nonsense, Li Shen was slightly amused, but also somewhat inexplicably disgusted.The so-called iron law of mercenaries was played in this way, and it was only then that Luo Qiangqiang took secretly accepting murder commissions as common sense.
He doesn't like this kind of thing at all, blood is shed in this city, and it smells of corruption.
But no matter what...
"I promise you."
Li Shen opened his mouth and said word for word.
"As long as Fenghe can be saved, I will cooperate with you to deal with Huiguang."
"Only this time, the next time is not an example."
Pa, pa, twice, Hades clapped his hands slowly twice, making a final conclusion on the matter——
"make a deal."
