Jiang Fan was greatly shocked. Zhang Yi had actually been plotting against the Zheng family earlier, but what did he value about the Zheng family? Is it the shipping that spans Chu to Jin, is it its strategic location, or is it a vision that transcends thousands of years and notices the importance of the island?
"What does Zhang Yi want?"
Jiang Fan suppressed the waves in his heart and asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know what kind of plot he is setting up. It makes me even more upset and aggrieved if I don't know. I don't even know what he wants to do. I can only do things according to his requirements, just like a puppet!"
He slapped his palm on the table angrily, causing the teapot to jump up.
This situation makes Jiang Fan believe that he may really not know, and this is also in line with Zhang Yi's style.
"So, what exactly did he want you to do?"
Zheng Lin looked at Jiang Fan with red eyes: "I told you, I can't say it! You, you and him are the same. You are all the kind of unparalleled monsters with ulterior motives. In your eyes, Jiangshan is Pan, you are your son to all living beings, why have you ever cared about our life and death?"
Jiang Fan's pupils shrank slightly, Zheng Lin's words set off a wave of waves in his heart. Could it be that in the eyes of the world, he and Zhang Yi are the same kind of people? And... am I really that kind of person?
No, the world only sees the appearance. There are fundamental differences between myself and Zhang Yi...
But this idea always seemed a bit ambiguous to him.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Fan quickly put aside his distracting thoughts and said, "Zheng Lin, you have to understand one thing. Only if you are alive can you save your family."
Zheng Lin looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Jiang Fan! I can live, but Zhang Yi didn't let me die. I believe he has countless ways to make me die in an instant. As for my family, I have long ignored it. Even after I came to power, in order to get rid of the control, I tried to resist at the expense of my family, but in the end I only received seven heads, seven bloody blades on my pillow, for seven consecutive days..."
He was a little hysterical, "For seven days! Every day when I woke up, there was the head of a relative and a bloody knife on my pillow. He didn't say anything until the seventh day, I collapsed, I compromised, I Kneeling down and begging for mercy, everything calmed down. Can you imagine the extreme blow?"
Jiang Fan couldn't help but gasp, what a Zhang Yi, this method is indeed more ruthless than his own.
For a moment, Jiang Fan was at his wits' end and didn't know how to pry open Zheng Lin's mouth.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Lin stared at Jiang Fan with a crazy face: "If you want to know, do two things for me. If you can, I will tell you Zhang Yi's two secrets."
The sudden turn of events caught Jiang Fan off guard: "What do you want?"
Zheng Lin looked gloomy: "I know that Zhang Yi lost to you more than once, so I am very happy that you, Jiang Fan, are the only one who can possibly destroy Zhang Yi. So, my two conditions, that is……"
His conditions really shocked Jiang Fan.
First, kill Zhang Yi. Second, let him live to see Zhang Yi die.
"Let me tell you the first secret first, which is the training ground for Zhang Yi's dead soldiers that you care about. As for the second one, when I see Zhang Yi's defeat, I will tell you so that you can know in advance. This is a huge secret. Moreover, I can still give you Zheng Siqi at that time and let you be a qualified brother."
Jiang Fan looked at his bloodshot eyes and knew that this guy was crazy, but the conditions he proposed were very impressive to him. Nowadays, Zheng Lin's life and death no longer matter, but there is still value in using him while he is alive. Moreover, it's not that he really doesn't want Zheng Siqi, he just doesn't want to give the other party a chance to negotiate terms.
"As you said, Zhang Yi has plenty of ways to kill you. Are you confident that I can keep you?" Jiang Fan stared at him.
Zheng Lin said: "I have been trapped in Jinsha all day, but my mind is always focused on Zhang Yi. I see that you are more terrifying than him. If anyone can really protect me, it is only you. So, you need to tell me this."
Seeing that Jiang Fan was silent, he continued: "I am now sandwiched between you and Zhang Yi. The situation is in a dilemma. There must be a choice. Instead of doing this, it is better to give it a try and choose to trust one side."
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes and said: "Believe in Yifang, you choose to believe in me, just because I have defeated him?"
Zheng Lin bared his teeth and said in a cold voice: "I can't tell you the reason now. If you insist on knowing, just think that you are right in front of me and can decide Zheng's life or death faster than Zhang Yi."
Jiang Fan looked at him: "That's a very reasonable statement. So... I have agreed, and I can tell you that you are right. If I can't protect you, no one in the world can protect you."
Zheng Lin suddenly opened his chest and said, "Then, please show your skills first and solve this problem for Zheng."
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, looked at it intently, and his expression immediately changed. I saw that Zheng Lin was in an extremely strange state below his neck.
His skin was red all over, and his blood vessels were dilated, as if earthworms were crawling all over his body, and they seemed to be squirming, which was extremely terrifying.
And that's not all. On his heart, there was a scar as big as the mouth of a cup, half an inch deep, with countless granules squirming like maggots, which was very disgusting.
Jiang Fan's expression changed: "Zhang Yi's handwriting?"
"Yes." Zheng Lin said with a ferocious face: "The wound will never heal. Zhang Yi used this to cause me unbearable pain all the time and let me know that he can take my life at any time! My lord... I heard that you have the ability to steal blood to extend your life. Do you know this method?"
Jiang Fan observed it intently for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "The heart-eating Gu of hundreds of insects, I actually saw it with my own eyes today."
Zheng Lin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes changed: "You really know?"
Jiang Fan said calmly: "There is a strange sect in the southern border, called the Hundred Insects Sect. It uses living people as carriers and uses thousands of poisonous insects to refine the poison. It is vicious and treacherous. One of the three strange poisons is the Hundred Insects Heart-Eating Gu. Hundreds of insects travel through the blood vessels and go straight to the heart, rotting bones and flesh, making life worse than death. But it has a strange effect. Hundreds of insects travel through the meridians. This kind of severe pain that is unbearable for ordinary people will stimulate the human body's potential, and eventually form hundreds of insects. The voodoo chases the heart, but the body keeps repairing, and the cultivation level skyrockets, but it must be ensured that the voodoo worms keep killing, but never reach the heart. To achieve this balance, you need to constantly feed the unique voodoo worms, otherwise, you will die..."
Zheng Lin looked surprised, and there was light in his eyes: "This... you actually know it so well?"
Jiang Fan said calmly: "Of course I know, and I also know that the Hundred Insect Sect has been destroyed for several years, but Zhang Yi can still master this technique, which means... we didn't kill everyone at that time..."
The information revealed by his words shocked Zheng Lin: "What did you say?"
Jiang Fan waved his hand: "Back then, this sect took refuge in King Huai and did a lot of evil things. When I saw the injustice, I eradicated King Huai. Of course, I didn't let this sect go, but...it's a bit strange... "
