However, although Zhang Xu was caught, this guy's character was very stubborn and bad. Before Fang Linyan and the others could do anything, he directly started to curse. When he was tired of cursing, he looked at them with sinister eyes without saying a word.
Looking at the scars on his body, it was estimated that torture was useless to him.
However, Zhang Xu's reaction at this time had long been predicted by Fang Linyan. He had already had a countermeasure in his heart, so he said faintly,
"Thief Liu's pursuers should be here soon. Let's take him away first. When we are safe, we will deal with him properly."
The 5 of them identified the direction, then they let Max drag Zhang Xu and walked along the path toward the mountain. Fang Linyan began to mention some anecdotes intentionally or unintentionally. He took the initiative to find Shan Yang and said,
"Ai, it's been a while since we went to war. Do you miss home?"
Mountain Goat thought to himself, We've only been in this world for two hours, how can you say I miss home? Oh right, Boss, you have a sexy and beautiful High Priestess at home. One day without her really feels like three years, so it's only right that you miss her.
However, Shan Yang could only think about these words in his heart. He said affirmatively,
"I still miss it."
Fang Linyan sighed with some melancholy and said,
"I miss it too. My father has been coughing when he went out. I don't know if he is better now."
"Ai, if it weren't for my father being plotted against by the petty officials back then and still being a treasurer now, I wouldn't be chased here to be a killer."
Since Fang Linyan said so, as a qualified flatterer, Shan Yang immediately asked with interest,
"Oh? How was uncle plotted against by the petty officials? "
Fang Linyan said,
"Back then, my father was elected to be the treasurer of the treasury because of his honesty. But he didn't expect that it was a trap set by the traitors and the evil officials. In just a short month, they colluded and stole two hundred taels of silver from the treasury. This deficit directly caused my father to lose his position due to corruption, and he had to be responsible for making up for this deficit."
Shan Yang said curiously,
"In the silver vault, it must be heavily guarded. How could it be stolen by collusion?"
Fang Linyan said,
"According to the regulations, the petty officials who enter the treasury to transport the silver have to strip naked. Before leaving the treasury, they have to open their mouths for inspection and jump three times on the spot before they can leave. Logically speaking, this method is very complete, but there are still loopholes."
Speaking of this, Fang Linyan sighed and said,
"Later, I asked around and found out that the position of petty officials in charge of moving the treasury was often hereditary. These petty officials began to train their posterior orifices when they were young. In the beginning, they would stuff half of a chopstick into their anus and jump around nonstop."
"Then, slowly add two chopsticks, three chopsticks, until you can pick up a chopstick that has been cut off from the middle and jump normally."
"These scoundrels used this method to steal two hundred taels of silver in a short period of time and successfully framed me, causing my family to fall!"
When Fang Linyan said this, he sighed. The rest of the people were comforting him — Of course, this was all on the surface. In fact, the team channel was already very lively.
Goat: Boss, you're pretty good at making up stories!
Max: I almost thought it was true.
Fang Linyan: It's true, but I read it from a historical document. It also added that all the petty officials who did this were very miserable in their later years. They often suffered from red feces disease and died from spurting blood from their back door.
Crespo: Did you tell this story to Zhang Xu on purpose?
Fang Linyan: Yes, this guy must have a big secret. If this secret is a message, then it can't be helped.
But if it is the real thing, he has been caught by Liu Bei's people before, and he should have been searched many times. Since it hasn't been found, there is a high probability that it is hidden in his body.
However, considering that there is magic in this world, since the professional jailer on Liu Bei's side couldn't find it, the probability of us searching him is probably not high.
So, I purposely told a story to trick him. If this guy really has something up his sleeve, then I'll let it fester for a while. Naturally, I'll have a way to make him reveal his true colors. Of course, you guys have to cooperate with me in time …
So after the group of people walked for about 10 minutes, Vulture suddenly looked back and said with some vigilance,
"There seems to be something wrong. Someone seems to be following us."
Then, the vulture quickly flew backward and disappeared behind a huge rock that blocked their line of sight.
But a few seconds later, there was a scream.
After hearing this scream, the rest of the people immediately couldn't calm down. Goat and Crespo immediately frowned and said,
"Let's go and see! The situation seems to be a bit wrong. "
The 2 rushed out immediately.
Facing this sudden situation, Fang Linyan glanced back with a gloomy face and immediately said to Max,
"Break his legs."
Max was moving forward with Zhang Xu at this time. He was stunned when he heard the words,
"What?"
Fang Linyan said coldly,
"I suspect that Liu Bei's people have caught up with us on a large scale. How can we care about him now? Break his legs directly! Let's see where he can escape to! "
As soon as Zhang Xu heard Fang Linyan's words, he knew that it was going to be bad. Sure enough, in the next second, he heard a crisp sound, then he felt a sharp pain from his right leg. Even if he was tough, he couldn't help but scream!
Without saying a word, Max broke one of Zhang Xu's legs and threw him to the side. At the same time, he said anxiously, "Don't worry.
"Let's hurry to support. Let's see where this cripple can escape to!"
After speaking, Max and Fang Linyan also rushed forward quickly, then they disappeared into the dense forest, leaving only Zhang Xu lying alone on the ground with a broken leg.
After Zhang Xu's right leg was broken, he was thrown out, and it just so happened that his injured leg was on top of it. This time, he almost fainted from the pain. After a while, he recovered his strength. He only felt that his vision was turning black, and his forehead was covered in dense sweat.
At this time, Zhang Xu knew that he really left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den!
What was worse was that the beasts in this tiger's den seemed to be more treacherous than the jackals in the wolf's den.
Zhang Xu seemed to turn a deaf ear to the conversation of these people before, but in fact, he heard every word. He even felt a chill on his back.
That's right, when the other party revealed the method of stealing the silver, Zhang Xu's heartbeat sped up by at least ten times. Even though he wasn't so despicable as to hide the items behind the back door, the method of hiding the items was really inherited from the same origin.
At that time, Zhang Xu was very scared. If this group of people were to draw parallels from those petty officials who stole the silver and connect it to him, what should he do?
To be honest, Zhang Xu was not afraid of death because he had the belief that he despised death, but what he was afraid of now was that he couldn't complete the task entrusted to him. Then, he would be the sinner!
At this time, the surroundings had quieted down. Only the battle cries in the distance could be heard clearly. However, Zhang Xu knew very well that no matter which side won the battle, he would not end well in the end.
The group of people fighting were all tigers and wolves that ate people without spitting out the bones!
Of course, a person's memory was selective. While Zhang Xu was filled with grief and indignation, he had completely forgotten about the clothes he was wearing and the wheat cake he had just eaten had been snatched from an innocent woodcutter by killing him.
Since Zhang Xu regarded the common people as weeds and trampled on them wantonly, then don't blame the people who were stronger than him for bullying the weak and trampling on his will and dignity at will.
After a battle in his heart, Zhang Xu took a deep breath. The words of "hidden silver in the human body" that Fang Linyan said before echoed in his ears repeatedly, which made him feel extremely uneasy!
So he confirmed again that there was no one around. There were not even a few birds on the tree next to him. It seemed that there was only a crow looking at this side, so he simply reached out and unbuttoned his shirt.
It could be seen that there was a bloody wound on Zhang Xu's chest. It seemed that he was slashed by a knife.
He gritted his teeth and reached out to scratch the wound. It looked like he was in extreme pain. His face was constantly distorted, but the movement of his fingers was getting bigger and bigger. Finally, he pulled out a bead the size of a pea.
The bead was initially black, but after Zhang Xu fiddled with it for a few seconds, it gradually turned aqua blue.
Although it was dug out from the bloody wound, there was still a layer of beautiful shimmer on it. It was not stained with blood at all.
Zhang Xu's expression looking at this bead could be said to be full of piety. He was still muttering to himself. It sounded like he was saying, "Don't blame me for the emergency."
Then he hesitated for a moment, began to recite the spell, and then blew a breath on the bead.
After this breath was exhaled, the surface of the bead became even more radiant, sparkling like water, as if it had been carefully maintained. Zhang Xu, on the other hand, looked extremely dispirited, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
It turned out that this bead needed to be nourished by a person's essence under normal circumstances. Once it left the person for more than ten minutes, it would be damaged.
Therefore, the "Sweet Rain Qi" that Zhang Xu just used was specially added on it. It was not a problem to let it leave the human body for ten days to half a month.
Of course, the price of using this breath was also to greatly damage Zhang Xu's vitality and even his lifespan.
Zhang Xu looked at this bead reluctantly, then he wrapped it with leaves. He gritted his teeth, then he looked at the gap between the tree roots next to him and stuffed it in. He also sprinkled a layer of soil and a few leaves on it to make it look more natural.
After Zhang Xu thought about it, he also used a stone to draw a diagonal cross on the tree trunk above. This way, he could confirm it when his memory was blurred in the future.
After carefully identifying it, Zhang Xu felt that the cross he drew was still not clear enough, so he wanted to make it up. But when he picked up the stone and wanted to carry out his idea, a voice suddenly sounded from the side,
"You are really in a good mood. One of your legs was just broken, but you still have the mood to appreciate this crooked tree?"
After this voice sounded, Zhang Xu was really shocked and almost jumped up, but he forgot that his leg was broken. He suddenly touched the wound, and it was so painful that he lay on the ground for a long time before he recovered. When he looked back, he found that it was Vulture.
At this moment, he could be said to be frightened, fearing that his little trick would be discovered.
Of course, Zhang Xu was also cursing in his heart, Are you f * cking a ghost? Why don't you make any sound when you walk?
Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Xu found that this guy didn't seem to pay attention to the tree after speaking, so he was slightly relieved. He hurriedly gritted his teeth and changed the topic,
"Didn't you say that there are pursuers coming?"
At this time, the grass next to him moved, but Fang Linyan also came out and stared at Zhang Xu, "Just a spy.
You killed him casually. What secret do you have that actually made Liu Zilang pursue you so relentlessly? "
Zhang Xu immediately shut his mouth and said nothing.
Fang Linyan sneered at the corner of his mouth, and he quietly gave Vulture a look. Vulture immediately walked to the tree and looked up and down, saying,
"When I came back just now, I saw this guy staring at this side. I don't know if he wants to leave a mark to facilitate those people to track him."
When Zhang Xu heard what Vulture said, he was comforted a lot in his heart, but he saw that Fang Linyan also walked over to the crooked tree and looked up and down. At this time, his heart was in suspense again. What if he didn't say a word and was seen through by others?
So he could only grit his teeth and said,
"Liu Zilang's people are looking for me because there is a rumor among the people that there is a treasure here, and I happened to be there, so I was caught by them."
Hearing the word "treasure", Fang Linyan and the others quickly exchanged glances, knowing that this pretense was still useful. Sure enough, a clue was dug out! However, they also had to guard against the possibility of Zhang Xu talking nonsense, so of course, Goat was the one who got the information.
Although Zhang Xu was still considered knowledgeable, the people in this era had not received the relevant special training at all. How could he withstand the interrogation of a professional salesman like Goat? Just a few questions over and over again made Zhang Xu break into a cold sweat.
Not only that, Fang Linyan and Vulture also deliberately moved closer to the crooked tree from time to time. Zhang Xu was still calm on the surface, but in fact, he was already upset. In this case, how could he have the mood to fabricate anything?
So very quickly, Zhang Xu reluctantly said what he knew, just like squeezing toothpaste out of toothpaste.
It turned out that in the past few nights, there would be a strange phenomenon in the nearby mountain ridge. Thunder and lightning flashed, and loud noises sounded again and again. In the early morning, there were flocks of birds gathering. There were nursery rhymes in the countryside, saying that a treasure had appeared. So Zhang Xu's heart moved. He felt that this seemed to be true, so he came to investigate.
It was just that after he came here, he was caught by Liu Bei's Army by accident. His identity as a spy of the Cao Army was also exposed, so he was tortured severely.
Next, Goat interrogated him again and again. Zhang Xu almost collapsed from the interrogation. In the end, he reluctantly told the truth about the treasure. According to his speculation, it was either Huang Shigong or Zhang Jiaojin that appeared at night.
"Huang Shigong?" Hearing this name, Fang Linyan was taken aback. He suddenly thought of his previous experience in the dinosaur world.
To be honest, it was thanks to Ou Mi who used this item in the end to destroy the last vitality of the earthquake in one fell swoop. Otherwise, it was unknown who would win in the end.
And at that time, she took out a one-time use item to summon lightning, which was Huang Shi Gong! At this time, he suddenly heard its whereabouts from Zhang Xu's mouth. Fang Linyan was really tempted.
As for "Zhang Jiaojin", although Fang Linyan didn't know what it was, since this thing could be on par with Huang Shigong, its effect and power must be not bad.
Seeing that Zhang Xu couldn't cheat anything else, Fang Linyan nodded with satisfaction and said,
"Okay, I will believe you this time. Let's go."
Zhang Xu was very indifferent on the surface, but he had already breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He let Max grab him and take him away.
However, after being dragged out for a dozen meters by Max, Zhang Xu suddenly felt that something was wrong, because the rest of the people didn't seem to follow up? Strange whispers could be heard coming from the back!
Zhang Xu couldn't help but look back, and his vision turned black. He felt that the whole world was about to collapse!
As it turned out, the remaining bastards had actually congregated around that crooked tree. Furthermore, at this moment, that mischievous goat suddenly let out a cheering cry.
"Found it, found it!"
Immediately afterward, he carefully took out a cluster of things. It was the mysterious bead wrapped in the leaves!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xu only felt that his heart was directly broken. There seemed to be a ball of raging anger burning in his chest. With a "pu" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, and then directly fainted.
But since the key thing had been found, who the f * ck cared about Zhang Xu's mood?
Goat untied the leaves, and of course he found the light blue bead. Everyone looked at each other; they didn't know what this thing was. Vulture used and found that the information he got was very scarce, but he still shared the specific information.
Merman's Bead (Broken) (Legendary).
Description: This is a very rare item produced on the coast of the East China Sea. If it is repaired properly, it will return to the list of artifacts in the future.
Usage: After immersing it in water for a day and night, take water to drink. It can strengthen the body, cure chronic diseases, and heal old injuries. It can't be brought out of this world.
Seeing the quality of this thing, the rest of the people were still calm, but Crespo had already taken a deep breath and said in shock,
"Legendary!! Even though this thing is broken, it's still of Legendary quality!! "
Vulture glanced at him, and a knowing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth,
"Isn't it just legendary quality? Calm down, my friend. "
