"The contact points with the buyers are all over Yunzhou. If you kill me, other gang members will be alert immediately, and you will never find any clues again."
Lin Xixue's voice did not contain any emotion. She understood that now the girl was sure that she had been taken away from her, and she would not believe it even if she told the truth.
Instead of giving useless explanations, it is better to follow her ideas, take advantage of her tactics, and turn passivity into initiative.
The sword light turned sharply and passed over Lin Xixue's temples, cutting off a strand of hair.
She didn't know why, but even though it was a matter of life and death, Lin Xixue felt unusually calm in her heart, and even her heartbeat speed was normal.
"Are you threatening me?"
The girl's usually indifferent tone finally revealed her displeasure, but Lin Xixue didn't take it seriously.
"You can try."
This was a big gamble, but Lin Xixue felt that she would definitely win. There is a high probability that this righteous girl will not kill herself at the risk of interrupting the clues.
Because in fact, from the beginning, she had already identified that I had been taken away.
But the reason why she didn't kill me directly with one sword, but chose to ask me about the shipment volume and trading location, shows that she has too few clues about meat gold.
She took a huge risk and used a breath-holding technique called the Lifting Technique to sneak in, and was almost insulted by Luo Si. This shows that although she is conscious when using this technique, she does not have any means of resistance, which is extremely dangerous.
She did not hesitate to put herself in danger in order to track down the meat gold, which shows that this matter is very important to her.
It also shows that no clues can be found through conventional means.
And I told her now that killing me might cause the thread to be discontinued.
Killing me is also a big gamble for her.
But she was afraid of losing, and she couldn't bear the consequences of losing the bet.
Therefore, there is a high probability that she will not kill me.
The air was stagnant for a long time, and the girl's face still showed no expression.
Suddenly, the girl put away her swords, clasped Lin Xixue's arms with her backhand, pulled her closer, and pointed at the back of her head.
"Don't even think about making any small moves, and don't try to lie to me, otherwise you will be furious at the mere thought of me."
Lin Xixue responded with silence, but she knew that she had won the bet.
As soon as she relaxed, a severe dizziness hit her instantly.
Due to hypoglycemia and a large amount of blood loss from the wounds on her neck, she felt her feet weaken and fell to the ground.
He took out the steamed bun from his arms and took a few bites. The rough bran sliced through his esophagus like a blade and fell into his stomach.
Lin Xixue had never eaten anything so unpleasant in her previous life.
But at this moment, this steamed bun actually made her feel a joy and satisfaction that she had never experienced before.
She suddenly wanted to cry.
He grabbed the water bag from his waist and drank a few sips, then suppressed the pain in his nose.
Just drink the water and swallow a steamed bun in two or three mouthfuls.
She took out another one and was about to open her mouth when she felt a huge impact on her eye sockets, and a muffled "thunk" echoed in her head.
"Fairy, kill this monster and bring justice to us!"
"We have fairies supporting us, let's all go together and kill this monster!"
The slaves who were hiding in the cracks of the rocks in the cave were shocked when they saw this scene. They rushed out one after another, picked up the rocks and greeted Lin Xixue.
Lin Xixue only felt that her eyes were red first, then black, and then she didn't know anything anymore.
...
I don’t know how long it took, but Lin Xixue’s consciousness gradually recovered.
There was dull pain everywhere in his body, but there was a cool feeling on his neck, which was very refreshing.
She opened her eyes drowsily and sat up, leaning half against the stone wall.
The righteous girl sat aside, gently wiping the sword in her hand with a handkerchief, and said casually: "Let's talk when we wake up."
Lin Xixue did not reply immediately, but touched her neck first.
The wound has already scabbed over. I think this girl gave me some fairy elixir. After all, I shouldn't be allowed to die casually before asking for the information I want.
Seeing that Lin Xixue did not respond, the girl said to herself: "The meat gold case has alarmed Captain Shui Heng. It is only a matter of time before a thorough investigation is carried out."
"If you provide clues now and make up for the crime, I can protect you from death."
Lin Xixue found it a little funny.
Faced with such offensive words, if Lin Xixue was really involved in the meat and gold case, she might actually take action.
But the truth is, she knows nothing.
However, she did have an impression of Captain Shuiheng.
According to the memory of his predecessor, Captain Shuiheng was in charge of money for the Yunzhou royal family. He had three officials under his jurisdiction: Zhong Guan, Bian Tong, and Jun Shu. He was in charge of the casting of silver coins. They were collectively known as the three officials of Shanglin.
However, the Yunzhou royal family is simply a group of mortals, and I have never heard of any princes or nobles knowing magic.
It is precisely because the Yunzhou royal family are mortals that they need the three officials of Shanglin to cast silver coins. If they are immortal cultivators, wouldn't the silver coins be meaningless?
According to her knowledge, immortal cultivators all use spirit stones.
But this girl is obviously an immortal cultivator.
Why do immortal cultivators take orders from a group of mortals?
The more information Lin Xixue learned about this world, the more confused she became. She felt that this world was completely different from what she had imagined.
She decided to get a few words out of the girl's mouth first, at least to know her relationship with the Yunzhou royal family.
"Privately minting silver is a serious crime, not to mention gold nuggets that were enchanted with evil methods. Why should I believe that you can protect me from death?"
"Lantau Island, Bai Qing, was ordered by the master to cooperate with the Yunzhou government in investigating the gold-meat case." The girl took out a white jade token from her arms impatiently, "Do you believe it now?"
Lin Xixue blinked her eyes. As the daughter of a merchant, she was not only well-read in poetry and books, but she could also name all the famous mountains and rivers in Yunzhou.
She had indeed never heard of the name Lantau Island.
But judging from Bai Qing's attitude, the origin of this mountain should be quite big. Even the Yunzhou royal family wants to give her face?
Lin Xixue couldn't understand. It would be fine for an evil cultivator like Hong Yanzi, who was obviously unworthy of publicity, to live underground, but why should a well-known and upright person like the Yunzhou royal family in Lantau Island have to live in seclusion? out?
According to common sense, only by opening wide doors and recruiting talented people can the sect develop and grow. Why should you hide your existence from mortals?
She really couldn't understand all the weird phenomena in this world.
Lin Xixue feels that she has always been a very planning person and likes to make plans for both big and small matters. However, this world is really confusing. She feels that her plans are all on cotton and she has no way to make any progress. Very uncomfortable.
Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time...
"What do you want to know?"
"How many people are there in the organization?"
"I don't know. There is no contact between the organization members on weekdays, but Hong Yanzi and I are the only two people in this cave." Lin Xixue said some random information to get rid of it.
"Hong Yanzi?" Bai Qing paused and asked, "Is that the old Taoist priest?"
"right."
"Where is he now?"
How does Lin Xixue know where Hong Yanzi has gone? Although he said that he went out to discuss Taoism, who knows if it is true.
Rather than giving this kind of information whose truth or falsehood is unclear, it would be better to give an answer that meets Bai Qing's expectations.
"Go and contact the buyer." Lin Xixue said nonsensically.
"Where are you going to connect and when will you be back?"
"The meeting place changes every time. As for when to come back, it can take anywhere from three to five days to more than ten days."
This is the time Lin Xixue deduced based on the frequency of slaves being taken away.
"The meeting location changes every time, so how do you convey information to buyers?"
"Hong Yanzi has a set of magic tools that can transmit sounds thousands of miles away and contact buyers."
When Bai Qing heard this answer, she raised her eyebrows, raised her phoenix eyes slightly, raised her swords, held a sword flower, and stabbed Lin Xixue's throat...
