The Grandmaster Strategist

Chapter 21 Learning the truth

I looked at Liang Wan. In order to catch her, I spent so much effort and arranged so many hidden stakes, and finally found the place where they wanted to hide the princess. After they ambush, I used a military formation to surround her, and then used a powerful Using force and the threat of the princess' safety, I finally captured them alive. Although it seemed easy and smooth, I spent too much thought on it. In order to force Liang Wan to confess, I used this method to make her feel unable to protect herself. Only by making her lose all confidence can she be made to confess obediently. Otherwise, if she sees through that I don't want to hurt the princess, it will be miserable.

Liang Wan said sadly: "Who are you?"

I said calmly: "Piaoxiang and I had an engagement. She was at my residence the night before her tragic death. Unfortunately, in order to start and end well, she couldn't bear to refuse Yanniang's request, so she died a tragic death."

Liang Wan looked at the people in front of her and quickly searched her memory, thinking of anyone related to Liu Piaoxiang. However, although Liu Piaoxiang had many subordinates, none of them matched the behavior of the person in front of her. She also Carefully thinking about the scene before Liu Piaoxiang's death, she walked into the room and saw Liu Piaoxiang taking a bath, with fire-like anger on her beautiful face. When she saw herself, she said coldly: "I didn't expect Princess Mingyue. However, you actually deceived and insulted a little girl like me." Liang Wan still remembered her euphemistic persuasion, but Liu Piaoxiang said with a cold expression: "You are in a high position, and I have nothing to say, even if I file a lawsuit with the government, It's useless, don't worry, I have my own life to live." She was obviously tolerant like that, but she felt a chill in her heart. She didn't believe that Liu Piaoxiang, who once dared to humiliate King Zhao Delong of Han in public, would If he doesn't pursue this matter, he thinks that as long as Liu Piaoxiang spreads this matter, his reputation will be wiped out. If he loses his foothold in Nanchu, then everything he has worked hard for will be possessed by others. He finally killed Liu Piaoxiang before she left.

I saw Liang Wan thinking, and a surge of anger surged in my heart. If she hadn't killed Piao Xiang, how could she be thinking so deeply? I said coldly: "Have you remembered?"

Liang Wan glanced at me and said to herself: "It turns out that the reason why Liu Piaoxiang compromised and promised not to take revenge on herself that day was to reunite with her lover. It seems that her lover status should not be too high, otherwise Liu Piaoxiang I won’t promise not to retaliate.”

Just as she continued to think, the man in black with a cold voice walked up to her, grabbed the skirt of her chest and pulled it, the pieces of fabric flew away, Liang Wan felt a cold feeling in her chest, and her breasts were puffy. Wan cried out in shame, knowing that this was a warning to herself, so she could only say: "Since it has reached this point, I believe you have enough evidence. Yes, I killed Liu Piaoxiang."

She admitted it, and I looked at Liang Wan fiercely and asked, "Okay, then tell me, who is that bastard who bullied Piao Xiang and asked you to clean up the aftermath for him?"

Only then did Liang Wan realize that this was the key to saving her life. She is a woman with extraordinary intelligence. Now that she has an opportunity, how could she not take advantage of it? She smiled and said: "It turns out that your Excellency wants to know this matter. I am the only one who knows about this matter. I would like to ask you, what price are you willing to pay?" To exchange this news?”

I said calmly: "I knew you would do this, but if I didn't have enough confidence, how could I do it? Miss Liang, no matter how important your status is or how prominent your status is, today you fall into my hands, I can do whatever I want." , if you are willing to tell that person, I promise to let you die peacefully. If you are unwilling to tell, I have thousands of ways to make you die in peace."

Liang Wan smiled coldly and said: "I know that there are many ways to hurt a woman. You can let all the men in this room insult me, you can use all kinds of torture on me, you can also destroy my life." Appearance, but you should believe that I, Liang Wan, have an iron heart. No matter how you hurt me, as long as I refuse to say anything, then you will be the one who will die in peace in the end.

If you will negotiate fairly with me, then I promise to tell you the identity of this man one day. "

I clapped my hands gently and said with a smile: "Okay, I am indeed the spy leader of Dayong. Tell me, whether my original caution was justified."

Chen Zhen said coldly: "Young Master is indeed very intelligent, and I will be admired by all my subordinates."

I walked up to Liang Wan and said coldly: "I knew you would do this a long time ago. You have the belief that you must die. I also believe that you can survive all kinds of torture. I am skilled in medicine and can let you taste the greatest pain in life." And insults, these people are your subordinates, I can let you politely beg for mercy in front of them, then how can you still have the face to be their leader."

Liang Wan suppressed the fear in her heart and said: "I know you can do it. I heard that some people are good at making strong love potions. It would be unimaginable for a woman to take it. But as long as I remember that I am trapped by the drug, I will not be unable to hold my head up because of it." Come."

I sneered and said: "You can kill them and silence them afterwards, so they won't know about your scandal, right?"

Liang Wan said lightly: "How could I do this?" But there was horror in her eyes, which was exactly her plan.

I chuckled and said: "You have been as safe as jade so far, but I believe you are not a clean and self-sufficient woman, so why don't you have a lover? Is it because you despise men in the world, or do you have someone you like, or is it that you are a virgin?" The body is very important.”

Xiao Shunzi suddenly said: "Master, the martial arts she practices should not require women to keep their virginity. I think she has a lover, or her purpose is to be someone's wife and concubine, so she must maintain her virginity."

I looked at Liang Wan's expression and said with a smile: "Maybe it's true. Someone, bring some wine and let her drink it."

Tao Li walked over with Bai Yi carrying a pot of wine. Bai Yi pinched Liang Wan's nose, and Tao Li drank the pot of wine to her easily. Their techniques were skillful, and Liang Wan did not resist. There was still room, but a small amount of the wine still flowed to her chest. Liang Wan waited for them to let go and coughed a few times. She felt that her chest was cold, but her throat was burning, and her face was even redder due to holding in her breath. Liang Wan felt that everyone's eyes were on her. Although she was ashamed, she knew that life and death, honor and disgrace depended on this moment, so she still raised her head firmly and looked at the scholar in black, thinking that if she could not control herself, she would If you bite your tongue and commit suicide, even if you are stopped, those people will know their absolute determination.

After a while, Liang Wan didn't feel the excitement of spring, but she felt refreshed, intelligent and lively, as happy as if she were in a fairyland. Liang Wan gradually became a little lazy, wishing to lie down and sleep, but when her body moved, she was imprisoned. Tie tightly. At this time, a gentle voice came to my ears: "Miss Liang, do you want to take a rest?"

Liang Wan moaned lowly and said, "I just want to take a nap."

The voice asked again: "You have been in Nanchu for so long, so you must have bribed many high-ranking officials and have many spies under you, right?"

Liang Wan looked confused and replied: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Yong sent me to protect His Highness the Princess, and later asked me to take charge of the Jiangnan espionage. It's a pity that I can only live up to his love. Master said that His Highness the Prince is the real one." .”

"Who is your master?" the voice was still asking her.

Liang Wan said impatiently: "Of course my master is the master of Fengyi Sect."

"Oh, then who asked you to invite Miss Liu to Mingyue Tower?"

Liang Wan just said the word "yes" and suddenly woke up. She stared coldly and said coldly: "What did I say?" At this time, one of his subordinates said coldly: "You said you betrayed Yong The king, surrendered to the prince. Ah--" A man in black hit his lower abdomen with an iron fist, making him unable to speak anymore.

I looked at Liang Wan, who was ashen-faced, and said, "You even told me about your betrayal, so what else can you hide?"

Liang Wan sneered: "Although I made a mistake and said something, at worst, I will blatantly serve the prince from now on. As for the person you want to know, it is my only bargaining chip, so if you are unwilling to pay the price, I will never say that." The identity of a person. In fact, why do you bother so much for a prostitute? There are countless good women in the world, and there are many sisters and sisters with extraordinary appearance in my Fengyi sect. If you like it, Liang Wan is willing to act as a matchmaker."

I said calmly: "Although Piao Xiang unfortunately falls into Feng Chen, her heart is as bright as the moon in the sky. Although Miss Liang pretends to be a bright moon, her behavior is not as frank as that of Feng Chen."

Liang Wan turned livid with anger, but I sighed softly. Liang Wan was indeed difficult to deal with. I began to deliberately talk about love potions, so everyone would think that the wine I drank for her was mixed with love potions. I The wine is indeed mixed with drugs, but it is an ecstasy drug refined from opium poppies. The biggest disadvantage of this ecstasy drug is that it is difficult to use if the user is prepared. I once asked the captured Yong secret agent to take it. This medicine, but they remained silent even though they were not prepared, so I first let Liang Wan understand my purpose, so that she would lose her guard, and then let her take the "love medicine" that she thought she could resist. , and Liang Wan, who had taken Ecstasy, did tell something. Unfortunately, Liang Wan was too guarded against matters related to life and death, so she failed. But I am not discouraged. This was originally my plan. At this point, Liang Wan has understood my concern about this matter. Only then will she agree to exchange terms with me when I use my trump card.

I chuckled and said, "It seems that Miss Liang really refuses to talk. In this case, I have no choice but to offend her."

Liang Wan said proudly: "I want to see what other methods you have."

I said lightly: "I want to invite the girl to listen to a good show." After that, I waved my hand, Chi Ji saluted me, turned around and pushed open the stone door behind my seat. The moment the stone door opened, everyone Everyone's eyes caught sight of a large bronze mirror as tall as one person lying sideways. The lights in the mirror flickered on and off, and a large bed with tassel curtains could be seen. Sitting on the edge of the bed was a girl in plain clothes, who was Princess Changle. From the perspective of the mirror, Princess Changle should be in the room behind the stone door. Chi Ji walked in, and then the stone door closed. All Dayong's secret spies looked at me with a terrifying look. It seemed that they had guessed my method. I waved my hand, and one person pulled out a copper pipe hidden on the stone door. At this time, everyone heard a sound coming from the copper pipe.

"Who are you, and what do you want to do to me?"

"No, don't come over, don't come over." Then there was the sound of tearing silk, and the sound of a girl crying and struggling.

"Stop, stop." All the Da Yong spies were shouting. Only Liang Wan still had a livid face and remained silent.

I motioned to close the copper pipe. Although no sound was heard, those people were even more worried. They began to struggle desperately, and some began to yell and curse.

I said coldly: "Miss Liang, if you refuse to tell me what I want to know, then what will happen to Princess Changle? You will understand. I want to know, if His Majesty the Emperor of Dayong knew that he had been let go because of you. If your beloved daughter is so tortured, what will he do to you, what will the prince do to you, what will King Yong do to you."

Liang Wan raised her head in despair. She knew that she had fallen into the deepest trap. This man was as terrifying as a devil. From the way he dealt with her, it could be seen that he was a devil with deep thoughts. He could definitely do something like this. There was only one thing he wouldn't do, and that was hurting himself, because he couldn't bear the consequences of her refusing to tell her.

She said bitterly: "Tell your subordinates to stop. If the princess is not harmed and you promise not to harm me, then I will tell you."

I said calmly: "Speak quickly. My subordinates are not impatient. You can speak out before it's too late. As for your life, I promise that I won't take your life today and I won't hurt you anymore."

Liang Wan said sadly: "I can only believe you, that person is Prince Li An."

I frowned and said coldly: "Are you talking nonsense? How could Prince Dayong come to Nanchu?"

Liang Wan said calmly: "King Qi promised that the leader of Southern Chu could proclaim himself emperor, but after breaking Shu, he went back on his promise. If there is no one with a higher status to comfort him, wouldn't this matter be spread out and make Dayong lose face? So His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Nanchu secretly and saw no one except Zhao Jia. Before leaving, the Crown Prince said that he heard from His Royal Highness the King of Qi that Liu Piaoxiang was a must-see. I originally thought that Liu Piaoxiang was just a brothel girl, but I still didn’t fall in love with the Crown Prince after seeing him. Xiangcong, who would have thought that after Liu Piaoxiang came, he just sang a song and was about to leave. The Crown Prince used force in anger and asked me to deal with the aftermath, so I had to kill Liu Piaoxiang." Liang Wan said a little Huang, although Li An asked him to deal with the aftermath, he did not let her kill anyone. He thought it would be enough to give her more gold and silver. However, Liang Wan was afraid that Liu Piaoxiang would spread the incident and her reputation would be ruined. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was criticized, so he killed and silenced her. For Liang Wan, Liu Piaoxiang's life and death was just a matter of thought.

I looked at Liang Wan. After finally learning the truth of the matter, I was almost despairing of how I could take revenge on the prince of a country. Liang Wan seemed to notice the change in me and said: "Sir, if you are willing to put aside the past grudges, Liang Wan will ensure that you will rise to the top."

I said coldly: "Are you telling the truth?"

Liang Wan said coldly: "You can only believe me. If you don't believe it, of course you can go back on your word and kill me."

I remained silent, and I would not kill her until I confirmed that she was telling the truth. Liang Wan also knew this, so she dared to speak out.

At this time, a Da Yong spy said: "Your Excellency, you haven't let the princess go yet."

I didn't say anything. Chen Zhen opened the stone door. Everyone saw in the bronze mirror that the princess was still sitting there, but her posture had changed. Chi Ji walked out and closed the door.

I glanced at them and explained: "Don't worry, everyone, Her Royal Highness has a rough fate. How can I embarrass her? My subordinate is good at ventriloquism and makes everyone laugh."

Those people breathed a sigh of relief. The princess was not harmed in any way, which made them very happy. However, Liang Wan looked at me viciously and said: "It turns out to be you. I know who you are, Jiang Zhe, you are Jiang Zhe. "

Her words were like a cold wind blowing, making everyone quiet down. Naturally, my people were because of the exposure of my identity, but Dayong's people were because they were surprised. They all knew that I was the number one scholar.

I said coldly: "How could Miss Liang recognize me?"

Liang Wan said proudly: "Your voice, I finally remembered where I heard your voice. Also, when you mentioned the princess, your eyes were gentle and full of sympathy and compassion. When you met the princess, I saw That look in your eyes."

I glanced at Liang Wan appreciatively and said, "It's really amazing. Miss Liang is worthy of being the best among Da Yong's secret spies. She actually saw through the identity of a person I don't have much contact with."

Liang Wan looked a little strange and said coldly: "Jiang Zhe, you kidnapped the princess and committed a major crime. If you are willing in the future, I can introduce you to the Yong court. You will have a bright future by then. Why do you have to fight for a woman and your own life?" The future is difficult.”

I smiled coldly and said: "Miss Liang, you are really terrible. The so-called green bamboo snake's mouth and the sting behind the wasp's tail are not poisonous, but they are the most poisonous to women's hearts. I only believe it today. Yes, I won’t kill you, and I won’t hurt you, I just want your memory and talent.”

Xiao Shunzi came over and stuffed a longan-sized red pill into Liang Wan's mouth. Liang Wan wanted to struggle, but Xiao Shunzi's cold hands made her lose the courage to resist. I looked at her with fear. With a look in his eyes, he said: "I didn't kill you, nor did I harm any of your hair. After taking this pill, you will forget everything. Although I am not sure how much you will forget, I can guarantee that you will never forget it again." Remember everything that happened today.”

Liang Wan looked at me with fear. She thought I might not let her go so easily, but she never thought that I would use this method. She shouted: "I lied to you. What I told you is not true." real."

I said coldly: "Miss Liang, if you want to hide it for others, do you need to use His Highness as a excuse?"

Liang Wan could only feel that scenes of memories welled up from the bottom of her heart, including the joy of her childhood, the hard work of practicing martial arts as a girl, the surprise and excitement of seeing His Highness King Yong for the first time, and all the intrigues in Nanchu, but it was Liu who appeared in the end. Piao Xiang's eyes full of regret before she died, and then everything gradually faded away. At the end, Liang Wan had a child-like smile on her face, so innocent and innocent.

I said calmly: "You killed my wife and I ruined your life. Although it is not equal, you can still be considered guilty. Miss Liang, if we never see each other again, then you can live a good life." If you and I are unfortunate enough to meet again as strangers one day, I will have no choice but to take your life to comfort my beloved wife’s spirit in heaven.”

I looked up and saw that everyone except Xiao Shunzi had fear in their eyes. Even Chen Zhen, Chi Ji, and Tao Li, they had all seen me use medicine to destroy the memories of the children who were sent away, but At that time, the amount of medicine I used was very small, so it only caused them to lose their memory for two or three years. They had seen what Liang Wan was like today. I smiled slightly. It was good that they were afraid. Looking at those Dayong spies, I said lightly: "You know my identity. I'm sorry, I can't let you leave like this."

One person asked: "You want us to take this medicine too?"

I shook my head and said: "This medicine is worth more than the same amount of gold. I won't be willing to use it casually. I will take your lives. Anyway, you have been in Nanchu for many years. It is not an exaggeration for me to kill you." "

A tragic look flashed in the eyes of those people, and one of them said: "Your Excellency is a high-ranking official in Southern Chu. He has a national feud with me, Dayong, and a personal grudge below. It had nothing to do with you killing us, but since you pity the princess, I also ask you not to hand over the princess to the people of Southern Chu, and please send your highness to King Yong, we will have no regrets even if we die."

I glanced at the man and said: "What happened today shall not be reported to heaven and earth, nor to your parents. If you know these secrets, even if I don't kill you, you will not survive the pursuit of the prince. If you are willing to keep your promise, , I can return your weapons and let you send Her Royal Highness the Princess to King Yong, but you need to commit suicide afterwards to keep the secret."

Surprise flashed in the man's eyes and he said: "Your Excellency, you are willing to believe us."

I said seriously: "I believe in the promise of the Yong warriors. If you break the promise, it will only make me look down on His Highness King Yong. After you have seen my methods today, you should know that it is not difficult for me to assassinate someone. Your Highness, King Yong, will be the price for your betrayal."

The big man thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty's methods are so cold and vicious, and his plans are so rigorous. If you are secretly plotting to assassinate His Highness King Yong, you are really 50% sure. Okay, what does our humble life matter? Completing the mission is the most important thing, but please agree, we want to report the collusion between the Crown Prince and Liang Wan to His Highness King Yong."

I said calmly: "Okay, but you can't mention anything about us and Zhuojing."

The big man agreed enthusiastically. I smiled slightly, turned around and went out. Chen Zhen would take care of the rest. Xiao Shunzi followed me and asked, "Will they keep their word?"

I nodded and said, "I won't misjudge anyone. They are all loyal warriors."
