Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 83
"I haven't seen the victims, but I have heard people say such a sentence."

Xu Chong glanced at the silent Jiang Zhihong, and sighed insignificantly, "The disaster victims are not human at all."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Zhihong was taken aback for a moment, but didn't understand.

"literal meaning."

"As long as you can live, what is it to eat the bran of livestock? Grass roots, soil, and bark are all edible."

"Do the disaster victims want to enjoy? Do they want to be full?"

"No, what they want is just to survive."

Xu Chong shook his head, and said in a low tone, "I believe you didn't realize how cruel it was until just now."

"If there is still only the original 160 million shi of grain, how many of the half of the people who survived will have to experience this cruelty?"

"Don't forget, if Yizi is not enough to eat, there will be another person who eats each other."

These words reminded Jiang Zhihong of his mood just now, and his face turned pale again.

"The grievances between you and Lou Xiang are not something that I, a little blood-clothed flag, can talk about."

Xu Chong continued, "Whether Prime Minister Lou is loyal or traitor, good or evil, I don't know him, and I can't judge, but I think, at least he did the right thing in this matter."

"Yes……?"

Jiang Zhihong muttered, thinking over and over again what Xu Chong said.

About two quarters of an hour passed before he spoke quietly.

"Even if you didn't miscalculate everything and what you said is true, I still can't understand it."

Jiang Zhihong paused, and said, "Why doesn't he continue to ask for food? When did Daqing ever run out of food?"

"Finally it's time to talk."

Xu Chong snapped his fingers, "Yes, there is no shortage of food in Daqing, but do you think that Lou Xiang didn't ask for it at all, or did he ask for it but couldn't get it?"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Zhihong's expression changed wildly, "You mean?!"

At the same time, Ge Wanshan's complexion changed wildly outside the black prison, and he waved his hand violently: "Everyone, go back to my room immediately, and cover your ears to death!"

There was a rumbling sound of footsteps, followed by another clang of doors and windows closing.

After confirming that he was the only one left, Ge Wanshan heaved a sigh of relief, wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, and cursed: "Your horse..."

Xu Chong's courage is really great.

He really dares to talk about anything, dare to guess anything!

In the dark prison.

Xu Chong waved his hand.

"I didn't say anything. It's been so many years. I wasn't there at that time. How would I know?"

"I just know that if someone I despise or even hate from the bottom of my heart suddenly climbs up on top of me one day and becomes more noble than me, I will probably feel uncomfortable."

The corners of Xu Chong's mouth curled up slightly.

"You mean... he didn't go to the disaster relief voluntarily?"

Jiang Zhihong's face was bleak.

"maybe."

Xu Chong shrugged, "It might be voluntary, but I didn't expect it to be only a little bit, but no matter what kind..."

"No matter what kind..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhihong was already able to replenish himself, "Is there only so much food he can get?"

"So, exchange corn for bran, and mix sand in it..."

"It's not that he wants to do it, but that he has to?"

"So... half of the people in Bingzhou can survive because they can only survive half at most?"

As Jiang Zhihong said, he staggered back and forth until his back touched the wall, and there was no way to retreat.

"Then based on this assumption, let's go back to what we said before, the disaster victim you saw."

"The drought broke out at the end of April, the Prime Minister arrived in Bingzhou in early May for relief, and the time you met the victims was in early June."

Xu Chong smiled darkly, "Even if he left for Beijing on the first day Lou Xiang arrived in Bingzhou, he would have traveled more than 22 miles in just over a month? And he was carrying the Taizu's imperial edict weighing [-] jin, and Or beg for food along the road, and after seeing you, still have the strength to tell you so much?"

"Stop it, stop it..."

Jiang Zhihong covered his ears, and slowly squatted down against the wall.

Tears flowed.

"The last sentence."

"Do you think that since Prime Minister Lou has arrested you, who is now powerless and powerless, but doesn't kill, try or send you to Beijing, is he harming you, or is he protecting you?"

"That's all."

After speaking, Xu Chong got up and left without looking back.

He's done everything he can, and it's useless to stay any longer.

As for whether Jiang Zhihong could figure it out, he wasn't worried at all.

As early as when he was sent to the black prison for the first time, it was destined that Jiang Zhihong would be taken down.

The first time he went to the black prison, Jiang Zhihong was first tested out that his flaws lie in the appearance of the building, and then he was tested out that he still has desires—suppressing desires just shows that there are desires.

Having desires means that the heart is not dead yet.

As long as you target the flaws, whether it's breaking his persistence or maintaining his beliefs, it's not very difficult for him to regain his will to survive.

But...Xu Chong didn't expect it to be so simple.

With the memory of his previous life, he easily found the crux of the relationship between Jiang Zhihong and Lou Xiang, and after deliberating based on some clues, the complete steps came out.

The first step is to use "others don't believe me, I Xu Chongxin" to boost Jiang Zhihong's spirit and let him focus on himself.

The second step is to use the frying pan and swaddling clothes to arouse Jiang Zhihong's emotions, whether it is fear or desire for protection, and then let him see that the frying pan is not a baby.

When Jiang Zhihong calmed down, he would be curious about what he wanted to do, and he would patiently listen to what he said next, and think carefully.

The third step is to use real data and reliable logic to defeat "only half of life" and become "only half of life".

In the end, it was to overthrow Jiang Zhihong's cognition of Lou Xiang, thus completely smashing Jiang Zhihong's belief.

Didn't you call Lou Xiang a traitor and a powerful minister?
I'm not against this, but I'm speaking on its own merits.

At the very least, when Lou Xiang was in the most difficult and dangerous time of the year, and when he needed the support of your best friend the most, you stabbed him in turn.

What do you say about this?
click!
The three views are broken.

Next, no matter whether he was suspicious and wanted to verify it himself, or skipped the suspicion stage and wanted to make up for it because of guilt, Jiang Zhihong definitely wanted to live.

After the replay was over, Xu Chong turned his head and glanced at Prison Jia, and his whole body jumped up.

The height of more than ten meters crossed in an instant, and Xu Chong landed lightly beside the entrance of the black prison.

As soon as he came out, he saw Ge Wanshan standing beside him, looking at him with extremely strange eyes.

"This subordinate has seen the adults."

Xu Chong cupped his fists.

"you…"

Ge Wanshan uttered only one word and held it back. After a while, he realized that he really didn't know what to say, so he patted Xu Chong's shoulder twice, and said, "You're a horse!"

"..."

Xu Chong looked innocent.

"Well, are you sure now?"

Ge Wanshan asked.

"It should be fine."

Xu Chong nodded, "This subordinate estimates that it only takes a day or two for him to figure it out."

To be precise, it should not be called thinking through, but reshaping beliefs.

"One or two days, that's okay..."

Ge Wanshan heaved a sigh of relief.

He couldn't remember how many times he had been on tenterhooks, and how many times he was relieved.

Anyway, it goes up and down for a while, and up and down for a while.

"Master Qianhu, this subordinate has broken through to the ninth stage of enlightenment, and wants to enter the arsenal."

It happened that people were there, so Xu Chong simply didn't bother to find another time.

"Well, is this the Jiuzhong enlightenment... It's also time to prepare in advance"

Ge Wanshan nodded, and then changed the topic: "However, there is no rush in these two days. As long as Jiang Zhihong opens his mouth to eat, as soon as we report the news, all subsequent contributions will be issued. Then you can enter again." It’s not too late to exchange the arsenal at once.”

"That, all right."

Xu Chong nodded.

I can't just confess right now, I have to save my extra contributions to change jobs, right?
In this way, the day passed.

At noon the next day.

"Send the food down."

A very bland sentence, without any emotion, came out from the vent of the black prison.

As soon as these words came out, Ge Wanshan, who had been paying attention from the beginning to the end, was overjoyed and jumped three feet high.

Immediately ordered, the dining room made a table full of dishes and sent them down.

They are all warriors, as long as they still have energy left, there is no such thing as starving for too long and only eating porridge.

"This kid, this kid..."

Ge Wanshan was pacing back and forth outside the entrance of the black prison, his face was full of joy, "It's really good to ride a horse!"

It was only at this moment that his spirit was completely relaxed, and his whole body was comfortable. If Xu Chong was by his side, he would want to hug and kiss him.

Because, from what Xu Chong said, he realized the real seriousness of the matter!
Why did the building plan set so many contributions?

Was it because he was afraid that if Jiang Zhihong died, he would be trapped in injustice?

No!

Or not quite!

The bigger reason is probably that Lou Xiang himself wants Jiang Zhihong to live!
Think about it, what if Jiang Zhihong died in the prison...

Ge Wanshan shivered.

With the magnanimity of Lou Xiang, he certainly wouldn't bother to do anything to a small family like him directly, but what about those people under Lou Xiang's hands?

Or, what about those people who want to curry favour?

Or, what about those who knew or guessed Lou Xiang's true intentions?
Among other things, the friendship between the Commander-in-Chief and Mr. Lou is probably one of them.

it's good now.

Jiang Zhihong not only survived, it is very possible that because of Xu Chong's words, he and Lou Xiang had a decades-long grievance!
What is the concept?
"Even the Commander-in-Chief, I'm afraid he will give me a high look..."

With this in mind, Ge Wanshan immediately went back to his room and wrote down Jiang Zhihong's situation.

Because of being too excited, the hand holding the pen trembled slightly.

After finishing writing, Ge Wanshan let out a sigh of relief, "This time, I'm afraid I'm going to make money! This kid is really my lucky star."

From heavy losses, to pours.

This kind of huge gap between the willows and the bright flowers makes him extremely grateful to Xu Chong who has turned the tide.

Thinking about how Xu Chong became a wind-breaker...

"Well, if you help me like this, I will naturally not let you down."

"It's good to achieve each other."

"As long as you report this matter, even if you can't become the commander-in-chief's closed disciple, the future will be smooth."

Thinking of this, Ge Wanshan took another blank piece of paper and wrote down every word Xu Chong and Jiang Zhihong said and everything they did from beginning to end.

After finishing writing, he paused, and then added Xu Chong's progress in Zhefeng's practice.

Just like that, a letter with the highest level of encryption was sent out through the special channel of the Blood Cloth Guard.
