The person who stopped Ge Li was Shi Qingzhu, who was sitting on the sandalwood chair.
The priest in green clothes looked at Ge Li and said, "What will you do if he survives the seventh blow?"
Ge Li sneered: "No one can survive to the seventh knife, and neither can he."
Shi Qingzhu said: "I only asked you to let him speak, I didn't ask you to kill him."
Ge Li's face was full of ferocity, but in the end he still did not dare to disobey Shi Qingzhu and replied: "Yes."
Shi Qingzhu stood up from the chair, walked slowly in front of Li Hu, squatted down to look at Li Hu's face, and said: "I know that some people are born with hard bones, no matter how severe the torture is, they will not be able to survive." You cannot make him surrender. To make a person speak is like an assassination. You must use the right method."
He paused and then said: "You know very well that if you fall into my hands, you will definitely die, so you would rather die in pain than reveal your identity, so that we can kill you without peace of mind, right?"
Li Hu just stared at the green-clothed masked man in front of him. His lips had been bitten and blood was oozing out all over his jaw.
Shi Qingzhu said: "If I tell you, you don't need to die at all, and you don't need to suffer these pains. There are countless gold and silver treasures, and many gentle women like flowers and jade are waiting for you. You can spend the rest of your life. Spending your time in glory and wealth, would you still want to die?"
There was a hint of disdain in Li Hu's eyes, but he remained silent.
Shi Qingzhu said: "I guess you don't believe what I say, and think that what I said is just a way to deceive you, but this is wrong. You have been in the Xunli Group for so long, you should understand what our 'Tianchu' is like An organization, the Sixty-Four Yi Gua Killers of our sect, from the leader to the team members, all members are recruited from the martial arts world. Among them there are many criminals and people with bounties on their heads. He was once a disciple of a famous sect. As long as he has enough ability, we will take him under his wing and protect him, no matter what his background was, it doesn't matter."
"The reason why we are hunting you is because you concealed your identity, which may be detrimental to the organization. As long as you tell the truth about your name and origin, there is no need for us to kill you."
Li Hu suddenly grinned and said in a hoarse voice: "What you said is really good. I almost believed it, haha...haha..."
While he was laughing, blood could not help but drip from the corners of his mouth. He had suffered the pain of five cuts from Gree just now, and his mouth was covered in blood all over his gums.
Shi Qingzhu ordered: "Come here, bring the wine."
A wine pot was quickly delivered to Shi Qingzhu's hand. He put the spout of the pot to Li Hu's mouth and said: "You can take a few sips of wine first to moisten your throat. While you are alive, enjoy the mellow wine and beauties, and have Wealth and power are what men should pursue. If you want to obtain these, you must not only have the ability, but also know how to seize opportunities."
The wine was poured into Li Hu's mouth, and Li Hu swallowed it down without ceremony.
The pot of wine was drained in a blink of an eye, and Shi Qingzhu said: "I am telling you this because you are a capable person, the most talented killer I have ever seen. You killed Tang Qianyu in Chengdu, and you killed Tang Qianyu in the pork factory." The killing of Ambassador Cui and the killing of Xu Da on the deck just now can prove this point. Do you know what level the organization evaluates Xu Da's ability? It is level two, among the sixty leaders of the Yi Gua group. Among them, Xu Dake is ranked in the top ten. You only used five moves to kill him, and your ability has reached at least level one. With this kind of ability, you are enough to join the 'Shenjun Hall',"
He stared at Li Hu and said: "However, this is just your ability to kill people. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you will never become a martial arts master, because you were born to kill people, and this is what you are best at." Yes, the way you practice martial arts and the path you take are evil in the eyes of those decent sects. In other words, your abilities can only be used by 'Tianchu', no matter what your previous status was. , no matter which sect you come from, it will be a matter of time that you are not tolerated by them,"
After drinking a whole bottle of wine, Li Hu's eyes were a little blurry and his voice was not as hoarse as before. He laughed loudly and said: "That's very good. I almost believe it again."
Shi Qingzhu stood up, threw away the wine bottle, and said: "You are a suspicious person. You will definitely not believe me when I say this. But I also know that you are not only good at wine and prostitution, but also very good. Gambling, now you can only bet on your own life. If you win, I am telling the truth, there is at least a chance of survival. If you don't win or don't bet, you will die. You can take this opportunity. Don’t fight, just think clearly,”
Li Hu stared at Shi Qingzhu, still without saying a word, but Ge Dao beside him had already picked up the narrow-edged knife, obviously eager to try it.
Shi Qingzhu said coldly: "Actually, even if you don't say it, I can guess your identity. You are just one of Li Hu and Han Jiuzhong. If you say it yourself, it proves that you are willing to be used by me, 'Tianchu'." Otherwise, there would be no need for me to keep you,"
The day before yesterday, in the slaughterhouse of Xuji Pork Shop, Cui Shangshi had said that Li Hu could have four possible identities. Of course, Mao Jie could be excluded, but how could Shi Qingzhu narrow it down to two people and confirm that he was not someone else? Here’s Guo Huaishan, a top martial artist.
Li Hu looked at Ge Li's ferocious face behind the narrow-edged sword, and immediately understood the reason. Of course Shi Qingzhu knew that he was not Guo Huaishan, because Ge Li was.
Guo Huaishan, the "Golden Summit Sword Demon" ranked 33rd in "Heifenglu", uses a thin-edged soft knife that is one foot and six inches long. He always uses a large butcher knife weighing 66 kilograms. Just to hide my identity.
No wonder he was able to kill Mao Jie and capture Li Hu.
Shi Qingzhu also noticed Li Hu's look and said: "You must already know who Ge Li is. A person who was killed by the police from the thirteen provinces of the 'Tianxia Alliance' can be at ease here without worrying about the past." The enemy is coming to our door. Who else can we, 'Tianchu', not protect? Now, the choice between life and death depends only on your words."
Li Hu's eyes flashed, and after a long while he finally lowered his eyes and whispered: "My surname is Han,"
Shi Qingzhu said: "You are the traitor Han Jiuchong of the 'Kongtong Sect',"
Li Hu said: "Yes, if you want to get the reward of ten thousand taels of silver, you can bring my head to Fei Yunzi."
Shi Qingzhu stared at Li Hu's face, and suddenly chuckled: "From the 'Gathering Immortal Sword Technique' you used when you fought with Ge Li just now, I have guessed that you are Han Jiuzhong, do you think we' "Does Tianzhu care about the Kongtong Sect's ten thousand taels of silver? Do you know how much salary the organization gives to each of our 'Shentang Priests' each year?"
Li Hu looked at Shi Qingzhu, waiting for him to continue.
Shi Qingzhu said: "It's two hundred thousand taels. This is just for not doing anything. As long as we take over the task, we can get additional rewards, so we can get at least five hundred thousand taels of silver every year. Even if it is The elders of the 'Kongtong Sect' and even the leader, Feiyun Laodao, cannot make so much money in a year."
His tone was full of temptation, and he continued: "With silver, you can have women, fine wine, slaves, and mansions. And if you want power, your father will also give it to us. I can tell you that in the past, we have Among the people who serve as priests in the organization, there are now three generals with military power above the fourth rank. They have achieved great success, honored their ancestors, and become rich and powerful. What else can we not be satisfied with?"
After listening to Shi Qingzhu's words, Li Hu's eyes seemed to start to shine, but he snorted and said, "What do these things you said have to do with me?"
The smile in Shi Qingzhu's eyes did not diminish, and he said: "Of course it is related. Mr. Jun is not a person who does not hesitate to be talented. I have just said that your skills can only be used by my 'Tianchu', and you are enough to become the leader of our sect." 'Shentang Shi', of course, it is not so easy to become a 'Shentang Shi'. You must be absolutely loyal to the organization and pass a test."
Li Hu said: "What test do you have to pass?"
Shi Qingzhu said: "The first test is whether you tell the truth to me."
His eyes suddenly turned sharp and became extremely cold, and shouted: "You are not Han Jiuzhong at all, but Li Hu. Although the 'Juxian Sword Technique' is a unique martial art of the 'Kongtong Sect', it may not be spread among the outside world." Go out, you learned a few moves from somewhere, and then you want to get away with it and pretend to be Han Jiuzhong, right?"
The Juxian Bridge is a scenic spot in Kongtong Mountain, and the "Juxian Sword Technique" is a unique sword technique inspired by Fei Hongzi, the founder of the "Kongtong Sect" in the Tang Dynasty, after studying the Dunhuang Feitian murals. It is a very advanced sword technique in the "Kongtong School" martial arts.
Li Hu was stunned, but suddenly grinned and said: "I really hope that I am not Han Jiuzhong, so that I will not be chased by the 'Kongtong Sect' until I have no choice."
Shi Qingzhu said: "You said you are Han Jiuzhong, then tell me where your ancestral home is and the names of your father and grandfather."
Li Hu said: "Are you asking this because you want to check the genealogy of my Han family? OK, then I will tell you that Han is from Lintaohe Prefecture in Shaanxi Province. His father's name is Han Jing, and his family's ancestor Han Ruicheng. They all He has been dead for many years,"
Shi Qingzhu said: "Really? How many uncles and brothers and sisters do you have? What are their names?"
The corners of Li Hu's mouth tightened, but he spoke out without hesitation.
It was certainly not accidental that Li Hu knew the Han family's genealogy. His impersonation of Han Jiuzhong was not a temporary move, because Han Jiuzhong was the second identity that Boss Shitou had prepared for Li Hu.
When he decided to let Li Hu sneak into "Tianchu", Hua Bushi had already thought that one day he might be exposed. Therefore, while fabricating the identity of Nanyang "Five Dragon Gate" Li Xiong, an ordinary Jianghu guest, he also ambush Han Jiuzhong. This backup option is designed to cope with today's situation.
"Tian Zhu" has assassinated Hua Bushi several times and has become incompatible with the "Evil Dog Clan". If Li Hu's true identity is known, there will be no way to survive. But Han Jiuzhong is different. He is a traitor of the "Kongtong Sect". Even if "Tenchu" detects someone infiltrating, they will probably take advantage of it instead of killing them immediately.
When Hua Bushi was preparing this identity for Li Hu, the real Han Jiuzhong had been hunted and killed by the "evil dog gate", and his body was completely destroyed.
