Chapter 2322 Beat the grass and startle the snake?
Five days later.
In a cave outside the Dragon Clan.
Jin Chongming waited until Liu Hao came back.
"I got the news you want!"
Seeing Liu Hao, Jin Chongming said directly.
Liu Hao nodded and said, "Let's talk and listen."
"The people Jin Kongxiao trusts the most are very few."
Jin Chongming replied, "Basically they are all at the level of elders."
He added, "Moreover, among the elders of the Jinlong clan, the one most worthy of Jin Kongxiao's trust is probably the oldest elder Jin Zhaozhong."
After hearing this, Liu Hao asked, "How much do you know about Jin Zhaozhong?"
"This Jin Zhaozhong is the person who handles important matters on the surface of the Jinlong clan."
Jin Chongming replied, "He is also Jin Kongxiao's right-hand man."
"Jin Kongxiao leaves most of the matters to him."
"So, I know this person fairly well."
"He is a mature, steady, meticulous, and extremely strict person."
"Moreover, he has a very strong sense of factionalism, and he is the same person as Jin Kongxiao."
Hearing this, Liu Hao frowned.
After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Is there anyone else?"
"Also, but..."
Jin Chongming thought for a while and said, "In my case, it should be able to be ruled out."
Liu Hao said, "Tell me who they are."
"It's just the other elders of the Golden Dragon clan."
Jin Chongming replied, "It can be said that except for the oldest elder Jin Zhaozhong, the other elders have many affairs."
"In other words, they have more things to deal with."
"Moreover, their actions have always been with others."
"It's basically impossible to go to the gray dragon clan and do this kind of thing alone."
"Even if it is possible, it may not be possible to get Jin Kongxiao's permission and trust."
"And even with Jin Kongxiao's permission and trust, those people would never have the guts to do these things."
"I know them, the people of the Golden Dragon clan know them, and the people of the Outer Dragon Territory are also familiar with them."
"That's why I said they can basically be eliminated."
Hearing this, Liu Hao's brows furrowed even deeper.
There was a deep solemn look in his eyes.
"how?"
Seeing Liu Hao's solemn expression, Jin Chongming couldn't help but ask, "Is there any problem?"
Liu Hao didn't answer, but asked again, "Are you sure that apart from these people, there are no other people worthy of Jin Kongxiao's trust?"
Jin Chongming shook his head, "I can confirm that there is absolutely no more."
He added, "At least, on the surface, it's gone."
"So, are you sure you can exclude all of these elders?"
Liu Hao asked again, "Is there no one whose whereabouts cannot be determined?"
"Yes, didn't I say it, Great Elder Jin Zhaozhong!"
Jin Chongming replied, "As a great elder, Jin Zhaozhong is often in a state of seclusion, and..."
"Not him!"
Liu Hao shook his head.
Jin Chongming asked doubtfully, "Are you so sure?"
"As you said, he is a mature, steady, and very strict person."
Liu Hao replied, "Such a person will not leave so many troubles and handles. If he really takes action, either the 'Grey Dragon Clan' will have been destroyed, or he will not borrow the help of the Black Dragon Clan at all."
work."
He added, "So, this person can basically be ruled out."
"Then there is no..."
Jin Chongming was about to say, 'Then there will be no more', but when the words came to his lips, Jin Chongming was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then said, "It seems that there is indeed an elder who is moving, but we don't know much about it."
Liu Hao asked, "Who?"
"It's a very mysterious elder from the Jinlong clan, named Jin Gong."
Jin Chongming replied, "This man has been disappearing all year round. No one knows what he is doing."
"About fifty years ago, it was just said that he came out of the state of seclusion."
"As a result, not long after, they said they were going into seclusion again."
"It seems that it is when you enter the place of 'Dragon Valley Heritage'."
"I don't know much about this person, and I have seen him only a few times."
"If you hadn't kept asking, I might not have remembered that there was such a number one person."
After hearing this, Liu Hao's frown relaxed.
Then he nodded and said, "That should be him."
"..."
Jin Chongming was stunned again and said, "Are you so sure again?"
"It's almost like ten."
Liu Hao said, "If Jin Zhaozhong is the person who handles things on the surface of Jin Kongxiao, then this person Jin Gong who has been disappearing must be the person who handles things secretly."
"Those who deal with things in secret cannot see the light."
"You can't let others find any trace."
"However, he still has to do things well that Jin Kongxiao is not suitable to do."
"So, this so-called 'leave no trace' is unlikely."
"Just like what happened this time..."
As he spoke, he smiled coldly and said, "Obviously, Jin Kongxiao's purpose is to find Ao Haixiong, but he is not suitable to go in person, nor is he suitable to send people on the surface, so he sent Jin Gong.
."
"Jin Gong went and didn't get any useful information, but he can't destroy the 'Grey Dragon Clan' because of this."
"No matter whether he asks or not, he can't do anything."
"Because once you do something, it will leave traces."
"Moreover, there are traces that cannot be erased."
"After all, he is just a person."
"If we want to exterminate the gray dragon clan, we will definitely use all our strength."
"Even if the gray dragon clan doesn't slip through the net, they will definitely leave clues."
"As long as the Gray Dragon clan is immortal, then Jin Gong will be safe even if they have no evidence."
"But if the gray dragon clan is wiped out and there are clues left by them, they will be easily targeted."
"So, he can only take advantage of the black bear clan."
"It's a pity that the Black Bear Clan is a little timid and did not directly destroy the Gray Dragon Clan. Instead, they waited for a long time."
"On the condition of ensuring that nothing goes wrong, I chose to take action."
Hearing this, Jin Chongming couldn't help but frown and said, "Didn't I say that you saved the Gray Dragon clan?"
"If I don't go, they will be safe."
Liu Hao smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I just arrived."
"..."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back to the Dragon Clan first."
Liu Hao immediately said, "If we go back now, we should be able to avoid some trouble."
"good."
Jin Chongming nodded and followed Liu Hao toward the Gray Dragon Clan.
…
"Is there still no news from Ao Haixiong?"
On the way back, Jin Chongming asked.
"No."
Liu Hao shook his head and said, "He did not return to the 'Grey Dragon Clan', so I am almost certain that the disappearance of 'Ao Haixiong' has something to do with Hong Xiu."
"After we go back, we will go find her and ask her in person."
Jin Chongming frowned and said, "Does she dare to lie in front of me?"
"hehe……"
Liu Hao smiled and said, "I guess something happened to her, or we can't find her at all."
He added, "Or maybe, even if we find her, we won't be able to ask her."
"..."
Jin Chongming was stunned, frowned and said, "You mean someone will protect her?"
"Definitely."
Liu Hao replied, "If it were her, with her courage, would she still dare to attack 'Ao Haixiong' under your threat?"
"Obviously, she doesn't dare!"
"But, she still did it."
"The answer is also obvious."
"Someone is supporting her."
After hearing this, Jin Chongming became silent and stopped talking.
Liu Hao glanced at Jin Chongming, smiled slightly, and asked, "Why don't you speak?"
"Actually, before I came out, I had already sent people to look for her, but they couldn't find her."
Jin Chongming replied, "It's like she disappeared."
Liu Hao smiled and said, "Really, am I right?"
"You can still laugh?"
Jin Chongming frowned and said, "Isn't Ao Haixiong your friend?"
Then he said, "He is in trouble now, and you are still laughing. You are really..."
"Otherwise? Should I still cry?"
Liu Hao smiled and said, "Anyway, Ao Haixiong will not die now, and he must be very safe, so what should I worry about?"
"Safety?"
Jin Chongming frowned and asked, "Why do you see it?"
"What is there in Ao Haixiong that is worth taking such a risk to 'Hongxiu'?"
Liu Hao asked, "What else does Ao Haixiong have in his body that is worth the risk for the man behind 'Hong Xiu' to take?"
Jin Chongming still didn't understand the meaning of Liu Hao's words and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The meaning is very simple!"
Liu Hao replied, "Their goal is not Ao Haixiong, but me!"
"..."
Jin Chongming was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it you?"
At this point, Jin Chongming's face changed slightly and he said, "You mean, the person who directed the 'Hongxiu' to do this is Jin Yuanxiong?"
In Jin Chongming's time, only Jin Yuanxiong had a grudge against Liu Hao, and only Jin Yuanxiong had this motive.
"It can't be 'Kim Won-woong'."
Liu Hao shook his head and said, "Not many people know about the relationship between me and 'Ao Haixiong'."
"Not many people can guess that there is a relationship between me and 'Ao Haixiong'."
"Maybe there is one from the Black Dragon Clan, but judging from Hei Yuqi's attitude, this matter should have nothing to do with the Black Dragon Clan."
"Jin Kongxiao of the Golden Dragon clan is obviously suspicious, but he is not sure, so they also have to ask Ao Haixiong for confirmation."
"In other words, they have also ruled it out."
"Then, the only ones left are those from the 'Outer Dragon Territory'."
"Cousin..."
With that said, Liu Hao turned to Jin Chongming and asked, "How many people in the Wailong Domain know about my relationship with Ao Haixiong?"
"I never told anyone else!"
Jin Chongming also said quite depressedly, "I only went to Ao Haixiong's retreat once before and helped Ao Haixiong solve the problem of 'Red Xiu'. After that, I never went there again, and I never said anything again."
It’s over!”
"Some things don't need to be said."
Liu Hao smiled and said, "Your attitude, your stance, maybe one of your words has already been exposed."
Hearing this, Jin Chongming frowned and started thinking.
After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "I can say with absolute certainty that I did not disclose any information about you at that time."
Then he said, "I only said that Ao Haixiong was personally arranged by the Sixth Elder. I didn't say anything else."
"I said, sometimes you don't need to say anything, just an attitude is enough!"
Liu Hao replied, "Let me tell you this, the Sixth Elder values me and asks you to help me like this. The Sixth Elder values 'Ao Haixiong' and asks you to pay attention to 'Ao Haixiong'. Moreover, he is still sending gifts
After I went to retreat, you went to pay attention to Ao Haixiong. If you think about it like this, don't you still want to understand something?"
Then he said, "Can't you explain the relationship between me and Ao Haixiong?"
"..."
Jin Chongming was stunned when he heard this.
He didn't think in this direction at all!
After all, they are dragons, and their IQ is still not comparable to humans.
Although they are also very smart, humans who are accustomed to intrigues will definitely think in a broader and more comprehensive direction.
Therefore, it is reasonable that Jin Chongming did not think of this.
"But, that's not right either!"
Jin Chongming shook his head again and said, "Do you have any enemies here in the Outer Dragon Territory?"
"You haven't provoked anyone at all!"
"To be precise, you haven't interacted with too many people!"
"Apart from me, the person who has dealt with you the most is Elder Zitian!"
"But it's impossible for Elder Zitian to do such a thing!"
After saying that, he turned to Liu Hao and asked, "Tell me, who is it?"
Liu Hao thought for a while and said, "If my guess is correct, this person may also have the surname Zi."
"Your surname is Zi? Are you also from the Zilong clan?"
Jin Chongming thought for a moment and then suddenly said, "Are you talking about Zi Qiang?"
Then he said, "But, didn't you threaten him and test him last time? How could it be him?"
"Not him!"
Liu Hao shook his head and said, "I said, this person can protect Hong Xiu and allow Hong Xiu to do these things with peace of mind!"
Then he said, "Obviously, Zi Qiang cannot have this ability!"
Hearing these words, Jin Chongming reacted fiercely and said, "Purple Star!"
"Well, it should be him!"
Liu Hao nodded and replied, "I have thought about it for a long time, and I think he still has some possibility."
"This person had a conflict with us when we were in the Soul Palace."
"It's also because we were expelled from the Soul Palace. Maybe he has a grudge because of this, so he will cause trouble for us."
Hearing these words, Jin Chongming's face darkened.
He said coldly, "This Purple Star actually cheated on him, let's go find him now!"
"How to find it? What to look for?"
Liu Hao asked directly, "What evidence do we have?"
Jin Chongming asked, "If there is no evidence, we won't look for him?"
"certainly!"
Liu Hao smiled and said, "There is no evidence. If we really go to him, we will only alert the enemy. In that case, Ao Haixiong may be really in danger!"
