Chapter seven hundred and twentieth eighth no matter
Zhang Chi is really funny, this old cunning guy is very capable of adapting to the changing circumstances, but under the current situation, I can only protect him, there is no reason to let him fall into the hands of others.
Xue Hongguang knew Zhang Chi somewhat, and knew that if he was so tough that he would be unable to step down in the end, he would probably be himself. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back to the base to talk if we have anything to say."
Zhang Chi and Cao Chengguang got on the horse together. Before leaving, Cao Chengguang did not forget to threaten Blacksmith Hong. He stared at him with his small eyes and said: "I will avenge today's revenge in the future."
Blacksmith Hong was not afraid of him and retorted: "I'm afraid you won't have another chance." After saying that, he remembered something again, came to Zhang Chi and handed him a few spiritual stones. Those spiritual stones were none other than Cao Chengguang.
Take it from Zhang Chi and give it to him.
Hong Tiejiang said: "I am not targeting you today."
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Mr. Hong, don't take it to heart, I don't blame you." Although he has only met Blacksmith Hong twice in total, he can also see that Blacksmith Hong is a kind person. The reason why he is dealing with Cao Chengguang like this today is because he was raped in the past.
Cao Chengguang has been tricked.
The group of people left the village and headed towards the base. It was not far from the base. In addition, they had horses to travel. If they set off now, they could arrive at night.
Zhang Chi was escorted by four soldiers throughout the whole process, which was actually a surveillance. Although Xue Hongguang did not insist on disarming him and handcuffing him, he still did not trust him.
Cao Chengguang was put in a canvas bag and hung directly on the side of Xue Hongguang's saddle. He kept scolding him all the way until he was tired of scolding, and then he huddled in the bag and fell asleep.
At noon, we only let the horses rest for half an hour before continuing to move forward. At dusk, we could already see the outline of the base.
Xue Hongguang was obviously relieved.
Zhang Chi said: "Have my master and others arrived?"
Xue Hongguang glanced at Zhang Chi, and of course he knew who Zhang Chi was referring to. Now he deliberately emphasized that Xie Zhongjun was his master, which was clearly implying something to him. Xue Hongguang said coldly: "I don't know!"
Zhang Chi said: "How did you know what happened? How did you communicate with each other?"
Xue Hongguang did not answer.
Cao Chengguang said: "How else can we contact you? There is so much spiritual energy here that telephones, mobile phones, and even any communication equipment are interfered with and cannot be used, so the communication method is to send letters. The fastest communication method is to send letters by flying pigeons."
Zhang Chi said: "So primitive?"
Cao Chengguang said: "Of course, powerful spiritual masters can send messages over long distances through their thoughts. However, there are a lot of spiritual shields in the sinkhole, so spiritual thoughts cannot be transmitted freely. In a space full of spiritual energy, the power of telepathy cannot be transmitted freely.
It’s declining rapidly.”
Zhang Chi thought of his encounter in Netherworld Ruins. High-level spiritual masters can extend their perspective through birds and beasts, and even convey their own consciousness. The environment still has a great impact on people.
Xue Hongguang said: "Pretend to understand if you don't understand."
Cao Chengguang raised his head and said, "What do you mean by pretending to understand when you don't understand? When I came to the tiankeng, you were still wearing crotchless pants."
Xue Hongguang said: "Technology is developing at a rapid pace. How do you feel about leaving the Tiankeng and going outside this time?"
Cao Chengguang said nothing.
Xue Hongguang said: "Do you feel like you have entered a brand new world? The tiankeng has remained unchanged for decades, but the changes in the outside world are rapid. If people do not adapt to the environment, they will be eliminated by the environment. It is not that we want to keep you.
Here, you can only live here, and you can no longer adapt to the outside world."
Cao Chengguang sneered: "It sounds like you care about me. You are not afraid that I won't be able to adapt, but you are worried that I will cause danger to the outside world."
Xue Hongguang said: "You still have some self-awareness."
Cao Chengguang laughed and said, "You've never eaten pork or seen a pig running? There's no way you can hide your tricks from me."
The door of the base slowly opened, and a group of people entered the base one after another.
Zhang Chi turned over and dismounted, and four soldiers immediately gathered around him. Zhang Chi glared and shouted fiercely: "What are you doing?"
Cao Chengguang added fuel to the fire and said, "Do you still have to ask? They think we are accomplices. Boy, your treatment is almost the same as mine now."
Xue Hongguang untied the rope, and Cao Chengguang was wrapped in a canvas bag and suddenly fell to the ground, making him grin.
Zhang Chi found that Xie Zhongjun and other teammates did not show up, and they probably had not arrived at the base yet.
Xue Hongguang had Cao Chengguang locked up. He did not dare to do too much to Zhang Chi. Although he suspected that Zhang Chi and Cao Chengguang were colluding, after all, there was no evidence at the moment and everything had to wait until Xie Zhongjun arrived.
Xue Hongguang made a request. He would not restrict Zhang Chi's freedom of movement in the base, but Zhang Chi must hand over his weapons and equipment.
Zhang Chi did not insist this time and handed the knife and shield to the equipment warehouse for temporary storage.
I took a shower in the dormitory, and then strolled to the cafeteria. In the cafeteria, Old Xu was preparing dinner. Immortal Zhang slipped into the kitchen and said with a smile: "Old Xu, you are still interesting enough to know that I have specially prepared so many dishes."
Reaching out to pinch the beef, Lao Xu grabbed his wrist and said, "This is not prepared for you. Director Xie is coming tonight."
Zhang Chi said: "Old Xu, Old Xu, I didn't expect that you are also a person who follows people's influence."
Lao Xu said: "Since when did you get involved with the director, I will also fawn over you." He also knew that this kid was a lazy guy, and if he didn't give him some benefits, he would definitely not be sent away so easily. He took a plate and served it to him.
A meat dish, a plate of peanuts, and braised fish were served to him. He also gave him a bottle of the wine he brewed and asked him to take care of himself.
Satisfied that Zhang Chi had gained an advantage, he called to Lao Xu: "You don't want to drink?"
Lao Xu shook his head and said: "I don't have time. I still have to prepare for the reception banquet. Director Xie will be here at any time."
Zhang Chi nodded, holding the tray and preparing to leave.
Lao Xu remembered something and called him out: "What did Cao Chengguang commit?"
Zhang Chi said: "Murder and set fire."
Lao Xu sighed and said: "It would be great for this old boy to stay in the sinkhole peacefully. Now he is in trouble. I'm afraid he will never see the light of day again."
Zhang Chi remembered that Cao Chengguang hadn't eaten yet and asked Lao Xu to add more dishes. Lao Xu had no choice but to cut another piece of beef and add a bottle of wine for this shameless guy.
Zhang Chi took the tray to the place where Cao Chengguang was imprisoned.
Cao Chengguang was shouting in the room. The guard responsible for guarding him saw Zhang Chi approaching and immediately scolded him sternly: "What are you doing? Is this the right place for you?"
Zhang Chi said: "I'm here to deliver food to him. I've captured the man. I'm responsible for his safety until Director Xie arrives. If he starves to death, can you bear the responsibility?"
"But Captain Xue said that no one is allowed to visit."
Zhang Chi said: "Let's do this, you give him a plate of beef and a bottle of wine."
The guard's attitude relaxed a little, and he just nodded when he saw Xue Hongguang coming over and quickly stood at attention.
Xue Hongguang looked at the tray in Zhang Chi's hand and said, "It seems that you and Cao Chengguang have a deep relationship."
Zhang Chi said: "I do it out of humanity."
Xue Hongguang said: "Why didn't he mention the word humanity when he killed Zhao Lei?"
Zhang Chi secretly thought that Zhao Lei's death was indeed designed by Cao Chengguang, but Xie Zhongjun was also responsible for this matter. If Xie Zhongjun hadn't deliberately retaliated against Cao Chengguang, Zhao Lei would not have died unexpectedly, and Zhang Chi would not have had to tell Xue Hongguang the truth and turn around and leave.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Xie Zhongjun and his party finally arrived. He already knew the news that Cao Chengguang was arrested again. Xue Hongguang reported how he captured Cao Chengguang and Zhang Chi. In Xue Hongguang's view, Zhang Chi and Cao Chengguang must have colluded, otherwise
How to explain that they appeared at Blacksmith Hong's place at the same time.
Xie Zhongjun showed great trust in Zhang Chi in this matter. He believed that Zhang Chi could not collude with Cao Chengguang. Not only that, he would also take the credit for catching Cao Chengguang on Zhang Chi. Now that Xie Zhongjun has set the tone, others will not
Dare you say anything more.
While several people were talking, a guard suddenly came to report: "No, Xiong Zhongyang rushed into the solitary room to kill Cao Chengguang to avenge Zhao Lei."
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly stopped talking and rushed to the solitary room.
The relationship between Xiong Zhongyang and Zhao Lei was like that of brothers. He was the most saddened person when Zhao Lei was killed this time. Although he also understood that Zhao Lei died under Xie Zhongjun's order, the culprit was still Cao Chengguang, so Xiong Zhongyang was determined to avenge his friend.
When Xie Zhongjun asked about the situation, Xiong Zhongyang sneaked into the solitary room, knocked down the guards, grabbed the keys from them, rushed into the solitary room and beat up Cao Chengguang.
When everyone arrived, the door of the solitary room was locked from the inside, and screams could be heard from outside. It was obvious that Xiong Zhongyang was torturing him inside.
Zhang Chi was about to kick the door open, but Chu Jianghe had already kicked the door open before him. He was the first to rush in and hugged Xiong Zhongyang, whose eyes were red and almost crazy.
Cao Chengguang's short body huddled in the corner. This beating was indeed not light. Cao Chengguang finally found that wearing a helmet was beneficial, at least it helped him protect the vital parts of his head and face.
Xie Zhongjun angrily shouted: "Xiong Zhongyang, you are so brave!"
Xiong Zhongyang yelled: "He killed Zhao Lei!"
When Xie Zhongjun heard this sentence, he felt it was particularly harsh. If others didn't know it clearly, he could still not know it. He himself had to bear the responsibility for Zhao Lei's death. He winked at Chu Jianghe, and Chu Jianghe and Ma Da dragged Xiong Zhongyang out together.
.
Xie Zhongjun saw Cao Chengguang shivering in the corner and sighed: "Old Cao, Old Cao, why did you come here?"
Zhang Chi walked over and helped Cao Chengguang up. Cao Chengguang looked at Xie Zhongjun and said, "Fat Xie, stop pretending to be a good guy with me. Didn't you instigate him to come and beat me?"
Xiong Zhongyang's behavior this time really has nothing to do with Xie Zhongjun.
Xie Zhongjun said: "Let's go, I'll buy you a drink, let's talk slowly."
When Cao Chengguang heard that there was wine to drink, he immediately became energetic. He said deliberately: "I was beaten until I was covered in blue and purple, and I can't walk."
Xie Zhongjun said to Zhang Chi: "You carry him over."
When Zhang Chi said he could carry Cao Chengguang there, Cao Chengguang said he could leave again.
Xie Zhongjun had a separate room prepared, prepared good food and wine, and specially treated Cao Chengguang to a drink.
Cao Chengguang discovered that Xie Zhongjun had changed his tactics. He thought that the explosion of the boat would anger Xie Zhongjun, but he didn't expect that he could still suppress his anger after such a big thing happened. Xie Zhongjun's city was getting deeper and deeper.
Xie Zhongjun poured wine for Cao Chengguang: "Let's have a good drink tonight."
Cao Chengguang said: "Are you planning to send me on my way?"
Xie Zhongjun picked up the wine glass and said, "With this glass of wine, I apologize for burning your boat."
Cao Chengguang didn't believe what he said. He looked at Xie Zhongjun and said, "Fat Xie, don't beat around the bush with me. Just give me a quickie. The worst I can do is pay for the life of that man named Zhao."
Xie Zhongjun said: "Old Cao, I understand now that that ship is not important to you." He paused and then said: "The same goes for Xiao Min."
Cao Chengguang continued to eat and drink.
Xie Zhongjun said: "You are a person who puts your own interests first. You don't love anyone but yourself."
Cao Chengguang said: "If you don't even love yourself, how can you love others." His little eyes stared at Xie Zhongjun and said: "Fatty Xie, do you know why I ran away?"
Xie Zhongjun looked at him with interest, waiting for his answer.
Cao Chengguang said: "Actually, I know in my heart that there is no way to escape from the sinkhole. Sooner or later, I will fall into your hands."
"You do it knowing you can't do it, why bother?"
"There is only one reason why I ran away, and that is because I didn't want to be used by you."
Xie Zhongjun laughed and said: "I didn't expect you still have some integrity."
Cao Chengguang said: "This is the biggest difference between you and me. At least I have a bottom line."
Xie Zhongjun said: "It seems you don't care about Cao Mingmin anymore."
Cao Chengguang said: "After you have used me, I have lost my value. How can I still expect you to fulfill your promise?" He shook his head. He could see Xie Zhongjun more clearly than most people.
Xie Zhongjun said: "I will send you to Blood Spirit Lake tomorrow."
Cao Chengguang said: "Mr. Qin was sent into the Blood Spirit Lake by your design, right?"
Xie Zhongjun smiled and said nothing.
Cao Chengguang said: "You are his adopted son. He raised you up. Instead of being grateful, you joined forces with outsiders to deal with him. Why did you go to Xueling Lake? Is it because you have a conscience and want to save him?" Cao Chengguang shook his head.
: "Impossible? Could it be that you want to save someone else?"
Xie Zhongjun said: "If you have anything to say, say it quickly. Maybe no one will listen to you in the future."
Cao Chengguang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I have long been worse than dead. I just don't understand why you do so many things that harm others and do not benefit yourself? For money? You already have a fortune of hundreds of millions, but for power? It seems that you don't have much wealth."
There is room for improvement. After thinking about it, there is only one reason why you can do this."
Xie Zhongjun's smile condensed on his face, and his eyes looking at Cao Chengguang became colder and colder.
Cao Chengguang stopped talking at this time. He decided not to expose Xie Zhongjun's face, otherwise it would only lead to even more crazy revenge from this guy. He still understood the principle that a good man should not suffer the immediate consequences.
