When Gu Qingying met Wanyan Tiancheng's eyes, she felt unusually embarrassed.
The cave was very dark, and the two of them only relied on the torches in their hands for illumination.
Gu Qingying felt that the atmosphere was slowly becoming ambiguous, and she quickly looked towards Zhao Jiang and said, "Will he be killed directly or sent to the government?"
In fact, she wanted to kill Zhao Jiang now. Keeping such a person would be a disaster.
Wanyan Tiancheng suddenly laughed: "It would be a pity to kill him directly. It just happens that he can be kept for other purposes."
Other uses?
Gu Qingying didn't understand what Wanyan Tiancheng meant by these words.
What use could Zhao Jiang be? All the bandits in Zhaojiacun were arrested.
Even the children were imprisoned. Apart from asking these people to explain where the property they had robbed over the years was stored, she really didn't know what purpose Zhao Jiang had.
Wanyan Tiancheng analyzed it seriously to Gu Qingying: "Even if we send spies to search outside, he still doesn't know the location of the bandit strongholds or the specific information."
Gu Qingying said indifferently: "If he doesn't want to say it, there will always be someone who is willing to say it. Have you forgotten that we have arrested so many of his brothers, and there will always be someone who can't help but be willing to confess."
As long as they are tortured, I believe these people can open their mouths.
Zhao Jiang's heart was spinning over and over again. He just couldn't move his whole body, but his mouth could still speak.
He said loudly: "I know those villages, their specific locations, and how many people there are. I only have one condition. I hope you can let me live."
He doesn't want to die.
If he dies, the children and elderly people in the family will not be able to survive.
Gu Qingying glanced at Zhao Jiang and said: "If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place? Now I want to live? Didn't I just say that death doesn't matter?"
She knew that as long as she was not disheartened and no longer attached to this world, she would still cherish her life.
Zhao Jiang smiled bitterly and said: "An ant can live in vain, let alone me! I have seniors above me and juniors below, so I have to take responsibility."
Wanyan Tiancheng suddenly squatted in front of Zhao Jiang and said, "Do you really want to live?"
Zhao Jiang said with certainty: "I want to live."
Gu Qingying didn't know what Wanyan Tiancheng was thinking or what was going on in his heart, so he looked at Wanyan Tiancheng curiously.
Wanyan Tiancheng smiled and said: "I will give you a choice, a choice that will allow you to live. Are you willing to take it?"
Of course Zhao Jiang wants such a choice.
Compared to death, he felt that nothing was unacceptable.
Wanyan Tiancheng did not hesitate, took out a thumb-sized porcelain bottle from his cuff and said: "There is a soul-eating pill in it. As long as you eat it, you will have to obey my orders from now on. If you don't take it in my hand every once in a while,
If you take the antidote, you will die of intestinal perforation and rotten stomach."
The intestines are pierced and the belly is rotten!
Zhao Jiang's pupils shrank, showing fear on his face.
It had to be said that having his intestines pierced and his stomach rotten caused him some fear in his heart.
But then I thought about it, if I didn't agree, I might not survive today.
This is not a bad choice.
He said with certainty: "I am willing to take poison, as long as I am allowed to live, no matter what I am asked to do."
Wanyan Tiancheng pinched Zhao Jiang's mouth with his hand, and then fed the Soul-Eating Pill directly into Zhao Jiang's mouth.
Zhao Jiang swallowed it.
After Wanyan Tiancheng made sure that Zhao Jiang had swallowed the elixir, he tapped Zhao Jiang's body a few times with the folding fan in his hand. Zhao Jiang, who was lying on the ground, suddenly became able to move.
Gu Qingying watched the whole process.
He admired Wanyan Tiancheng's way of handling things. He gave a thumbs up and praised: "Awesome."
Zhao Jiang stood up weakly. At this moment, he couldn't bear the thought of resisting Gu Qingying and Wanyan Tiancheng.
Both of them were so good at martial arts that he couldn't deal with them at all.
Minghe came with his people, and Gu Qingying had already seen the light of the fire.
He turned back and looked at Zhao Jiang seriously and said, "I hope you can tell me everything you know. As long as you cooperate well, maybe I can make your family feel more comfortable."
Zhao Jiang quickly said: "I will cooperate well."
He is also willing to make his family feel more comfortable.
Does Zhao Jiang regret being a bandit? The answer is no.
For Zhao Jiang, if he had not gone up to the mountains to become a bandit, he would not have been able to marry a wife, nor would he have been able to provide a good life for his parents.
If he were given a choice again, he might still choose to go up the mountain and become a bandit.
Minghe rushed over and saw Zhao Jiang standing behind Gu Qingying and Wanyan Tiancheng in an orderly manner.
Somewhat confused: "Is he surrendered?"
Wanyan Tiancheng explained: "We had a fight and then made a deal. You can take him out!"
Minghe had Zhao Jiang tied up.
Gu Qingying did not rush out, but walked to the small waterfall and threw a stone downwards.
When Gu Qingying counted from one to ten, she heard the stone falling into the water.
"This underground river is too deep. It's no wonder that Zhao Jiang didn't choose to jump in despite the risk of being caught by us. He probably already knew the danger down here."
Things were indeed exactly as Lu Qingying thought.
Zhao Jiang really knew the danger down there.
Because he threw a stone down at that time, and it took a while before he heard the sound.
If you jump from here, let alone not knowing what's going on below, you'd better be lucky. There's a deep pool below.
It is estimated that if you jump from here, you will end up dead.
The torch in Gu Qingying's hand suddenly went out.
It became darker in the cave.
"Let's get out!" Gu Qingying decided that the key was to get out of the cave before the torch in Wanyan Tiancheng's hand burned out.
Minghe was worried that the remaining guards would disturb the two of them, so he deliberately took everyone away.
Wanyan Tiancheng walked in front and said, "Then I'll go in front and you follow me. We'll just walk slowly."
The two of them got into the water. Gu Qingying felt the coldness of the water and said, "This water is really cold. I have to drink ginger soup to keep away the cold when I go back to avoid catching the wind chill."
The two of them landed ashore, and just as they were returning through the narrow passage, the torch in Wanyan Tiancheng's hand was also extinguished.
In an instant, the surroundings fell into darkness.
Gu Qingying couldn't even see where Wanyan Tiancheng was.
It's really dark here, there's no light at all.
Suddenly a hand stretched out and grabbed Gu Qingying's hand.
Gu Qingying wanted to take her hand out of Wanyan Tiancheng's hand, but it didn't move after twitching.
Wanyan Tiancheng said softly: "Lest we two get separated, I will pull you away."
Deep down in my heart, I praised Minghe several times.
He just wanted to be alone with Gu Qingying, but he didn't expect Torch to do the same.
Gu Qingying's face suddenly turned red. For some reason, she felt safe being held by Wanyan Tiancheng like this.
The word security was new to her.
Because she has always given herself a sense of security, and this is the first time that someone else has given her a sense of security like this.
Wanyan Tiancheng felt that the atmosphere was a little tense, so he said: "Qingying, you are really special."
