Chapter 1139 Sadness
Chapter 1139 Sadness
Jiang Xiaochuan looked at Tang Long's anxiously flushed face, and knew very well that the previous sentence had put Tang Long in a dilemma of proving himself.
But directly forcing Tang Long to prove himself would only make himself suspected.
It’s better to give a “step” first and then quietly tighten the rope.
Changing the subject, Jiang Xiaochuan proposed a seemingly reasonable and highly suggestive guess:
"Two seniors, since the ancient tomb is so full of traps, is it possible that the Senior Xiao you're looking for... also heard the news at the time, couldn't resist his curiosity, and went down to search for treasure?"
"After all, this kind of opportunity is extremely attractive to practitioners."
After hearing these words, Tang Long suddenly reacted.
He was so busy framing Jiang Xiaochuan and clearing himself that he didn't understand the real purpose of these two evildoers.
Who is so bold as to touch even the people of the Red Blood Sect?
Tang Long was shocked, but now was not the time to think about it. The most important thing was to save his life.
He quickly climbed up the pole that Jiang Xiaochuan handed him. "Yes! Yes! Boss Jiang is right! The ancient tomb is not only full of traps, but it's a life-or-death situation. It's very weird!"
"Even if a master of Nirvana entered, it would be difficult to escape unscathed! The poisonous gas inside can corrode bones, and the boulder traps can crush iron ingots."
"I think... the senior you're looking for might have met with something unexpected in there!"
As he said this, cold sweat broke out on his palms.
He had no idea who Xiao Qi was, let alone how strong the other party was, so he could only say it was "dangerous" to push the suspicion away first.
At this time, Xuehe Xuejiu was indeed a little shaken.
They knew Xiao Qi's character too well: three years ago, in order to grab a piece of thousand-year-old chalcedony, he instigated his followers to fight with people from other sects.
Last year, in order to compete for a mineral vein, he even secretly withheld supplies from the church.
This man is very greedy. If he really knew that there was a treasure hidden in an ancient tomb in Yangcheng, it would not be surprising that he would go looking for it secretly without telling the church.
In addition, the current situation within the church is delicate, the position of the leader is not legitimate, and everyone is pursuing their own interests.
It’s not surprising that Xiao Qi would do this.
Just when the two were about to completely believe this statement, Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly coughed lightly.
"But I suddenly thought of another possibility,"
Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to this, Jiang Xiaochuan said slowly, "Since this treasure is so attractive, I guess Boss Tang must have made sufficient preparations before going there, right?"
"What do you mean?"
Tang Long suddenly became alert and felt a chill on his back.
He had a strong premonition that the hypothesis Jiang Xiaochuan had just put forward was not speaking for him, but was setting a trap.
"nothing,"
Jiang Xiaochuan smiled harmlessly, "I just suddenly thought of this question."
"You are the only one present who knows the details of the ancient tomb. If I knew about a treasure of this level, I would definitely bring my most capable people and make all necessary preparations to prevent the treasure from falling into the hands of others. Am I right?"
Tang Long opened his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Xuejiu's look, who gestured for Jiang Xiaochuan to continue.
"Boss Tang, please don't misunderstand me. I believe this was definitely not done by you. What I just said was just speculation."
Jiang Xiaochuan was polite in his words, but it was obvious from his attitude that he didn't want to let Tang Long go.
Tang Long was groaning in his heart. He knew that Jiang Xiaochuan was trying to make him suspicious, but under the watchful eyes of the two people from the Red Blood Sect, he didn't even have the courage to refute.
I could only pray in my heart that Jiang Xiaochuan would stop talking.
He knew very well that such unfounded things would only make things worse the more he explained them. If Xuehe and the others imagined that he was attacking the Chixue Sect in order to keep the treasure for himself, he would be completely finished.
But the opposite happened - Jiang Xiaochuan not only did not stop, but dug himself into a deeper hole.
"And you two seniors may not know that Boss Tang's self-introduction just now was far too modest."
Jiang Xiaochuan continued, "His security company is the only one in Beijing. The resources and manpower at his disposal are inexhaustible."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Tang Long was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
"shut up!"
Xuehe and Xuejiu shouted at the same time, and the murderous intent in their voices made Tang Long freeze instantly.
He looked at the two men's cold eyes and knew that if he dared to interrupt again, he would probably be in trouble on the spot.
Jiang Xiaochuan chuckled secretly, knowing the time had come. He said seriously, "I was just wondering, since Boss Tang values Yangcheng's treasure so much, would he... transfer all the company's elite personnel there?"
"I've seen his men before. They're so hospitable! Even a master of the Nirvana Realm would be left with nothing but bones if they met them..."
"You fart!"
Tang Long was so angry that his face turned ashen and veins on his forehead popped out.
"I only took one trusted confidant with me! He even lost an arm because of the mechanism in the ancient tomb!"
"If you don't believe me, I can take you to find him! If I, Tang Long, tell even a single lie..."
"It's been so long,"
Jiang Xiaochuan interrupted him lightly, "If Boss Tang wanted to hide something, he would have had his men speak with one voice long ago. Do you think these two seniors would believe you just because of an oath?"
Xuehe and Xuejiu looked at each other, cold light flashing in their turbid eyes.
They have been struggling in the underworld for many years and have committed many murders and robberies. They know the routine of "robbing robbers for treasure" very well.
Although Jiang Xiaochuan's words were meant to provoke, they touched upon their doubts.
Tang Long has the motive, the ability, and has been to the ancient tomb, so he is the most suspicious no matter how you look at it.
"Hmph, you are so eloquent."
Xuehe was thinking in his mind that no matter whether Tang Long was really related to Xiao Qi's disappearance, he would bring him back to the sect for interrogation first.
If I can find out the whereabouts of the treasure in the ancient tomb, it won’t be a wasted trip.
With a cold snort, Xuehe raised his dry palm slightly, "It seems that unless I take you back to the sect to 'question you properly', you won't tell the truth."
"Whether you've been wronged or not, you'll know for sure once you return with us. Don't worry, if it's a misunderstanding, we'll apologize to you."
Xuejiu followed with a sinister smile.
Go to the Red Blood Cult?
That is simply a devil's den where people are eaten without leaving any bones behind. If you go in, not only will you be cleared of all charges, but even your life will be turned into medicine!
"No! I'm not going!"
Tang Long panicked and his energy suddenly surged to his feet.
If you don't run away now, how long will it take?
But just as he made a move, the Blood River Blood Doves pounced on him from the left and right like two ghostly shadows!
The bloody aura instantly enveloped him like a cage.
Tang Long's strength was barely enough to deal with one person, and he was no match for the two Grandmaster-level elders of the Red Blood Sect.
After only ten moves, a cold and bloody force invaded his meridians.
His whole body went limp and he fell to the ground with a thud, losing the ability to resist.
