Chapter 17 I will never die with my eyes closed! Swear quickly!
"Stop!"
"You are so brave, do you know who I am?"
"You are not afraid that Mr. Tian will find out when the time comes."
No matter how the dead boy tried to stop him, Shui Yan simply ignored him.
Even when the dead boy stood in front of him, Shui Yan passed directly through his body, not caring at all, as if he didn't see it.
The dead boy was cursing and suddenly stopped, obviously thinking that he was already a dead man.
Watching the young man named Shui Yan ignore him.
The dead boy knew that his past identity, status, and background were all in vain.
But right now, he was the one who wanted something from that young man.
Perhaps thinking of his deep hatred, the dead boy made up his mind, and under Shui Yan's stunned eyes, he ran to Shui Yan and knelt down directly.
"I know your name is Shui Yan, and you belong to Lord Tian. Please help me! I won't die in peace!"
At this time, the dead boy no longer had the arrogance he had just now, but looked at Shui Yan with a pleading look on his face.
Shui Yan stopped and looked at him with interest.
From the conversation just now, he learned that the young man in front of him who was about the same age as him had a surname of Zou and had many connections with the Tian family.
So curious.
Today in the Qi State, there are really people who dare not care about the Tian family and the Qi State, and dare to ambush and kill the Zou family in officialdom.
When he passed by behind him just now, he took a closer look.
Based on his many years of experience in cleaning up corpses, he was able to conclude that the other party must be a large-scale force and well-trained, and it was definitely not an ordinary murder.
"explain!"
Seeing the young man kneeling down and losing his previous arrogance, Shui Yan decided to listen.
Just now, he just wanted the dead boy to understand something.
It is true that you were a noble in life, but after death you still dare to pretend to be in front of me. Do you think I care about you?
Although Shui Yan's voice was very low, the dead boy still felt relieved when he heard that Shui Yan was willing to listen to him.
"The people who ambush me must be Tian Xian and Tian Feng."
As the dead boy slowly narrated.
This also involves the grudge between Qi State's famous Prime Minister Zou Ji and Qi State General Tian Ji a hundred years ago.
Between a question and an answer.
Shui Yan quickly understood what was going on.
"So I, Zou Xing, dare to say that it must be the two of them who are worried that I will revive the Zou family again after I go to Qin, so they are here to ambush me."
When he said this, Zou Xing, a deceased soul, had eyes full of resentment.
That kind of resentment may be the reason why the soul of the dead can stay in the world for a short period of time.
"I see!"
Shui Yan nodded, but he didn't expect that this murder would actually involve the grudges of the family a hundred years ago.
No wonder he dared to kill people in official circles. It turned out that the other party had such a big background.
As for Zou Xing's words, he did not comment.
Shui Yan seemed to have some impression of what happened between Zou Ji and Tian Ji a hundred years ago.
Zou Ji, who was the Prime Minister of Qi at that time, was worried that Tian Ji's prestige in the army would gradually rise and affect his status, so he slandered Tian Ji in front of the King of Qi.
The King of Qi was also worried that Tian Ji's prestige in the army was too high, so he hit it off with Zou Ji.
In this way, General Tian Ji was forced to flee Qi.
Zou Ji did not expect that after Tian Ji left Qi, he would become the most threatening person to the King of Qi.
When Zou Ji realized it, it was already too late. Tian Ji was not here, so if he wanted to survive, he could only pretend to be crazy.
This also led to a century-old feud between the Zou family and the Tian family, a descendant of Tian Ji.
No wonder Zou Xing was so sure that the person who killed him must be Tian Xian and Tian Feng, Tian Ji's descendants.
"Please be kind enough to inform Mr. Tian about this matter so that he can make the decision for Zou Xing."
At this time, Zou Xing opened his mouth to request.
However, just when Zou Xing thought that Shui Yan would definitely agree.
Shui Yan suddenly asked back.
"Why wasn't you, Zou, the first one to tell you?"
Shui Yan looked at Zou Xing with a smile and immediately grasped the key point of the problem.
Since the enemy is chasing me.
According to common sense, the first person who should be notified is the people of his own clan.
"I am Zou"
Zou Xing didn't expect Shui Yan to be so attentive. He wanted to explain, but when he looked at Shui Yan's smiling eyes, he looked away for a moment and finally told the truth.
"I am the last of the Zou clan."
When he said this, Zou Xing's eyes were full of disappointment, followed by overwhelming resentment.
After him, his ancestor Zou Ji had no descendants.
Zou Xing was about to ask Shui Yan, but before he could say anything, he saw Shui Yan looking at him with interest. The next words made him freeze in place.
"In that case, why do you think that Mr. Tian in your mouth will help you take revenge? Going to war for a dead man with no background?"
Shui Yan was very confused. When he said this, Shui Yan looked at Zou Xing with ridicule in his eyes.
"The Lord Tian you are talking about has indeed promised to help you get rid of Tian Xian and Tian Feng, but the premise is that you go to the Qin State and become a useful agent to him. Now you have died without even leaving the Qi State. Take revenge.
?You are sleepwalking, young man!"
Shui Yan complained.
As a son of a powerful man, he can't even think of this and still wants to revitalize the clan!
But Shui Yan seems to understand.
Compared with the sons of the common people, Zou Xing was a son of the gentry, who had no worries about food and clothing since childhood. Compared with other sons of the gentry, the declining Zou family could not give Zou Xing a good education.
A person who grew up in a greenhouse, but did not receive the guidance of his elders.
The final result is like Zou Xing!
Looking at Zou Xing with a dull look on his face, Shui Yan ignored him and passed through the dead souls, continuing to move forward.
Originally, everyone nearby, whether they were pedestrians on their way or soldiers of the Qi Kingdom, looked at Shui Yan with puzzled faces.
They all looked at each other, feeling very strange.
After just checking, they saw the young man standing motionless on the official road.
Now that he saw Shui Yan, who had been standing still, walking forward, he no longer had any doubts. Who would have thought.
Suddenly, they saw the young man stopped again.
"What happened to him?"
"I do not know!"
Several Qi soldiers looked at each other and whispered.
Perhaps out of curiosity, the two Qi soldiers looked at Shui Yan and came to the Qi soldiers who had just questioned Shui Yan.
"Did you think that person was weird when you were doing the interrogation just now?"
A Qi soldier asked softly.
The other Qi soldiers also listened curiously.
After all, the boy's behavior was a bit strange.
The Qi soldier who was questioned glanced at Shui Yan, and then whispered that Shui Yan was holding Lord Tian's customs clearance wooden sign.
And at this moment.
Shui Yan is particularly weird in everyone's eyes.
Talking to a dead soul.
"Do you think I can help you?"
Shui Yan looked at Zou Xing with a strange look on his face, as if he suspected that the guy had lost his soul and was missing a lot of his brain.
"I tell you the truth, I was driven out of Qi State by the 'Master Tian' you call me!"
Shui Yan sighed, just now he was just curious about why there was a murder here and who was so brave.
Now that he knew it, he was too lazy to continue 'lying ghosts' and revealed that he was driven out of Qi State by the Master Tian whom Zou Xing said.
Zou Xing was obviously surprised when he heard Shui Yan's words.
Zou Xing did not expect that Shui Yan in front of him would be driven out of Qi State by Lord Tian.
No wonder there was no awe in Shui Yan's eyes when he mentioned Mr. Tian just now.
But seeing that Shui Yan seemed to want to leave, Zou Xing quickly spoke up again.
"Wait a minute!"
Although he didn't understand why Shui Yan could see him, no matter what, looking at his already dim soul, Zou Xing understood that if he wanted revenge, he could only place his hope on Shui Yan.
Seeing Shui Yan's confused look.
"I have a way, and I can also give you a huge benefit as a reward. But you must make a poisonous oath first!"
Zou Xing said.
He was convinced that Shui Yan could avenge him. And he also had benefits that he could give to Shui Yan. But just in case, Zou Xing asked Shui Yan to swear that he was willing to help him before he would say it.
The confident look in Zou Xing's eyes made Shui Yan a little confused. He also seemed to be a little bit interested.
After thinking for a while, Shui Yan looked at Zou Xing.
"Okay, if you can really give me satisfactory benefits, I will avenge you. If I break my promise, my uncle will die a good death!"
When speaking, Shui Yan's tone was not false at all.
That serious look made Zou Xing look confused.
"Why did you use your uncle to swear the oath? Could it be that your uncle is very important to you?"
Zou Xing asked.
Generally, poison oaths are made by either oneself or a blood relative. Although his uncle is also a blood relative, is he more important than his parents?
"The gift of teaching will be unforgettable in my life."
As he spoke, Shui Yan's eyes were filled with sincerity, and there was no trace of dodge in the eyes he met with Zou Xing.
This is indeed the case. The uncle used his own behavior to make Shui Yan understand how shameless a person can be.
Besides, Shui Yan didn't care whether Zou Xing was suspicious or not. Deep down in his heart, Zou Xing liked to keep his mouth shut. He was just curious about what "great" benefits a son of a declining clan could give him after being killed by his enemies.
After Zou Xing thought for a while, he nodded, obviously believing Shui Yan's words.
