Lord of Puro

Chapter 486: The Taking-Off Glutinous Rice Balls

Li Banfeng looked at the dumplings and wondered how to build the slope.

The other party is a trained agent, and an ordinary ramp may not be suitable for her.

Tangyuan sat opposite Li Banfeng, trying his best to remain calm.

From the day she entered the Dark Star Bureau, she had been mentally prepared that one day she might be killed in a mission.

Before she died in battle, how would she face the end of her life?
When he was alone, Tangyuan once had a similar idea.

Especially in the bathroom, she took the shower head and sprayed herself with gunfire, pretending to be fatally wounded, and then tried to use the last bit of her strength to die together with the enemy.

Of course, she had received professional training, and she had ways to save herself after being injured. If she could save herself, that would be great, but if she couldn't, she would at least try her best to finish her last words.

There is no need to say too much in your last words, just four words will do: "I did it!"

Every time Tangyuan thought of this scene, he would be moved to tears.

Now she was on the verge of tears, too, but not out of emotion, but out of fear.

The reality is completely different from her imagination. She is not as brave as she imagined, and dying in battle is far more terrible than she imagined.

Li Banfeng handed Tangyuan a glass of water: "You don't have to be so nervous."

Tang Yuan held the water cup and asked sincerely, "Is it poisonous?"

Li Banfeng shook his head: "I didn't poison you."

Tangyuan put the water cup on his lips and knocked the cup with his teeth, making a rattling sound.

Watching Tang Yuan drink the water, Li Banfeng said, "I gave him a laxative."

Tangyuan's body tensed up, and the color gradually returned to his pale face.

How could he do such a thing...

Tangyuan felt a warm current surge in his abdomen and subconsciously clamped the peach tightly.

Li Banfeng continued, "This medicine works very quickly, so we don't have much time. Tell me first, you once came to Xiaoyaowu for a banquet with Dick Chen, but why did you dare to sneak into Xiaoyaowu as a singer now? Why do you think I won't find you?"

Tang Yuan answered truthfully: "I used a disguise technique, you probably can't recognize my appearance."

“Why don’t you change your voice?”

sound?

Did he recognize me by my voice?

"I thought you wouldn't notice my voice."

Li Banfeng has the ability to perceive spiritual sounds, and with the help of the wire earrings, he is particularly sensitive to sounds.

Tangyuan spoke at the dinner table, and Dengbao later revealed Tangyuan's identity. Li Banfeng naturally paid attention to Tangyuan's voice. Coupled with Tangyuan's unfamiliar performance on the stage, Li Banfeng quickly discovered something unusual.

"Did you come to Xiaoyaowu to monitor me?"

Tangyuan nodded.

"Did you find any useful information?"

"not yet."

“Who is Dick Chen who came with you before?”

Tangyuan didn't want to answer.

The questions he answered before were all about himself, which leaked his own information, and Tangyuan was psychologically able to accept it.

The question that needs to be answered now involves the secrets of the Dark Star Bureau and the Customs Defense Office, and Tangyuan does not want to become a traitor.

This slope is really not easy to match. Seeing that Tangyuan remained silent, Li Banfeng said, "I remind you that the laxative is very powerful. Your body may leave the chair."

Why does the body leave the chair?

Because of the jet?

Tangyuan gritted his teeth and his stomach growled.

So what?

She is a person who is not afraid of death, so why would she be afraid of such a thing?
Li Banfeng looked at Tang Yuan and said, "Is Dick Chen from Purozhou, Huanguo, or a foreigner?"

Tang Yuan said: "He is a foreigner. He mentioned it himself when you were negotiating."

"Does he know that you are an agent of the Dark Star Bureau?"

"know."

"Will the Dark Star Agency reveal the identity of an agent to a foreigner?"

"That's because his identity is very special."

"What's so special about it?"

Gurgle, Gurgle, Tangyuan's stomach rumbled again.

She tried her best to stay focused and not make any mistakes in her response, but she found it very difficult.

She soon discovered the problem.

Li Qi was not threatening me with laxatives, he was using them to destroy my concentration.

This is a special interrogation method that Tangyuan had learned before. It uses means that are not very harmful but have a strong sense of urgency and persistence to disrupt the opponent's thinking rhythm and concentration, thereby causing the opponent to make continuous mistakes in responding.

With great restraint and patience, Tang Yuan gave a designed answer: "Dick Chen is a businessman, assigned by the Customs Office. My mission at the time was to protect his safety."

Li Banfeng asked: "What kind of business activities does he mainly engage in?"

"You should know that he has communicated with Ma Junyang before." Tang Yuan was still sober and tried not to answer detailed questions, which was one of the important strategies for dealing with interrogation.

Li Banfeng paused for a long time and watched Tangyuan's reaction silently.

Guruluulu~
Tangyuan's face was covered in sweat, and she seemed not so clear-headed.

Li Banfeng continued to ask: "Why would the outside state hand over confidential matters to a businessman, and a foreign businessman at that? What's so special about this foreign businessman?"

"Him," Tang Yuan took a breath, the pain in her stomach making her consciousness a little fuzzy, "I, I don't know much about his background. This is not within my scope of responsibility. If you want me to answer your questions, at least ask something that I know..."

Tangyuan can’t hold on any longer.

"Then I'll ask you a question you know," Li Banfeng asked seriously, "The tide of Huanglong Gate is coming. May I ask you, young lady, how can you stop it?"

"Tighten the gate first..." Tangyuan took a deep breath and shook her head. She was very ashamed. She didn't know why she talked about the gate with Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng smiled. The slope gradually became smoother and she was about to tell the truth.

"Ms. You Xuehan, you have been lying all along, and every lie you told was full of mistakes.
Dick Chen's identity will be revealed sooner or later. In fact, I have already found a lot of information about him. I just want to confirm and supplement it with you.

Just tell me his identity truthfully, and today's matter will end here. Why do you have to embarrass yourself?"

Tang Yuan shook his head and said, "You can kill me, I am not afraid of death. Do you think this little humiliation and torture is nothing to me?"

"It's not as simple as it seems now." Li Banfeng moved the flower stand next to the coffee table, and the camera hidden in the dark appeared.

Li Banfeng adjusted the angle of the camera and said, "You have investigated me, so you should know that I have a film and television company. I just said that you will fly from the chair. This is a rare special effect scene. I will use it in the movie. And I can tell you responsibly that I will use it more than once."

Tang Yuan gritted his teeth, beads of sweat dripping from his hair: "I don't care, I am worthy of my mission."

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I know you are worthy of your mission. You may even firmly believe that you are a hero, but some things cannot be shaken off. You soared into the sky on a golden dragon, and this story will be passed down for many years, perhaps even longer than your life."

The glutinous rice balls were shaking more and more severely.

Li Banfeng paved the last section of the slope: "I just told you that I know most of Dick Chen's background. He is balancing the relationship between various places. His identity will be made public sooner or later.

Tell me what you know. It won't have any effect on him. It only takes one simple thing to get out of your current predicament.
But if you insist on not telling the truth, it will have a huge impact on you. You may lose your reputation and everything.
The bathroom is right over there. Don't sacrifice yourself for insignificant people and insignificant things at a cost that you cannot recover from."

Another wave of cramps came, and the pressure at the gate had reached its limit.

Tang Yuan, with sweat on his face, raised his head and said quickly: "Dick Chen's real name is Chen Weixin, and he is the new deputy director of the Dark Star Bureau."

Li Banfeng was surprised: "Before Xiao Zhenggong was only a deputy captain, why did Chen Weixin get such a high position?"

Tang Yuan shook his head and said, "This is not something I can know, but I have heard some rumors that balancers can choose their own positions. Xiao Zhenggong could have had a higher position, but he insisted on staying in the team."

"Go on."

Tang Yuan looked at the bathroom, his eyes full of desire and said: "Chen Weixin is the new balance person after Xiao Zhenggong. He was born in the soda kiln and studied in Amikan, Autelli, Sipani, Ingrid, French and other countries. He then lived in Rafsha for a long time. He was a classmate of Director Shen Jingye.
After he took office, some connections have been established with Nevada, and negotiations between Nevada and other states that had been suspended for many years have also resumed. "

“What type of negotiation?”

"The Outer States helped the Inner States to open up a part of the road to the Pro State, and the Inner State gave the Outer States some high-purity dark energy carriers."

"The dark energy carrier you mentioned, do you mean the magic weapon?"

"It's not a magic weapon," Tang Yuan said, holding his stomach, his eyes red as he looked at Li Banfeng, "It's an ore, a very rare ore. These ores can be used to make some special equipment and weapons. Only the top personnel know the specific uses. This kind of thing is extremely rare in Pro Province, and it doesn't exist in other states at all."

Li Banfeng's cheeks trembled slightly when he heard this: "We are just restarting the negotiations now, so the matter should not have been concluded yet, right?"

"The deal is almost done. Dick Chen is very efficient and the communication between the two sides is very smooth." Tang Yuan's speech speed is getting faster and faster.

Li Banfeng's eyes flashed coldly: "Do you know what people from Neizhou would do when they came to Prozhou? Do you know that in the eyes of Neizhou people, the lives of Prozhou people are no different from the dirt on the ground? Outer states traded with Neizhou people for minerals, but in the end it was Prozhou that suffered? What do you think Prozhou is?"

Tang Yuan, with tears in his eyes and trembling all over, said: "This is not something I can decide..."

"So what can you decide?"

"The gate, the gate can still be decided now, but it will soon be impossible to decide..." Tangyuan cried out.

Li Banfeng raised his hand and motioned Tangyuan to go to the bathroom.

Tangyuan ran all the way, and judging from the sounds in the bathroom, she should have taken off briefly.

Li Banfeng felt that this matter should be told to Sun Tiecheng.

If you place the slope in the right position, you can derive a new technique called "rushing down a hill". This technique is obviously more efficient.

More than ten minutes later, Tangyuan returned to Li Banfeng with a calm expression and sat on the chair, with the sweat on his hair not yet dried.

Li Banfeng said, "Go back and have a rest. You will be singing a solo tonight. You need to discuss the song with the band. Remember to choose the song you are best at. It is very embarrassing to forget the lyrics when singing solo."

Tangyuan looked at Li Banfeng in surprise.

He asked me to go back to singing?
He's crazy?
Does he know what he is talking about?
"You don't need to continue interrogating me?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Not necessary for now."

"Don't you need to kill me to silence me?"

“Not at this moment.”

"Then, can you let me go?" Tangyuan saw some hope for his life again.

Li Banfeng nodded: "I can let you go, but not unconditionally, and you need to wait for a while.
If we let you go now, and you suddenly give up the investigation without making any progress, it will arouse the suspicion of the Dark Star Bureau and the Sekisui-no-Miyazawa."

Tang Yuan agreed with Li Qi's point of view. If she went back now, Liao Zihui would definitely not let her go easily. She would have to undergo a series of investigations and might even be expelled from the detective team forever.

But isn’t it too early to think about this now?

Is it really possible for Li Qi to let her go?

She looked at Li Qi nervously, but heard Li Qi's suggestion: "You should adjust your diet in the future."

Tang Yuan was stunned: "Is there anything wrong with the diet?"

Li Banfeng pointed at the water cup and said, "There is no laxative in the cup." "Then, then why did you just..."

Li Banfeng said nothing.

Because he gave her a very sharp ramp.

……

Tang Yuan went backstage in a daze, and a singing girl came up and asked, "How does Qi Ye taste?"

A woman nearby said, "Oh, why are the eyes still red? Did Master Qi hit him too hard?"

Tang Yuan said nothing, and walked to the dressing table to put on makeup. Steward Zhang came forward and said, "Miss Taohong, Master Qi has ordered that you have a solo tonight. Which song do you want to order? I'll ask the band to prepare it."

Tangyuan's eyes were dull and he didn't speak for a long time.

Several singing girls were talking quietly nearby:
"What can she sing? Yesterday, when there were six people singing together, she was out of tune as soon as she opened her mouth. She even forgot the words halfway through the song, and then she simply didn't dare to make a sound."

"I've entered Master Qi's room. There's a solo performance tonight. What can you do if you're not convinced?"

"Let her sing. It's even more embarrassing to sing solo. I don't know what Master Qi likes about her!"

"You can't see that yet, look at how fleshy her peach is. She can even make two holes in the wooden chair from sitting on it."

"Okay, if she can, she can sing with a peach."

Tangyuan didn't want to choose a song at first, she wanted to turn down the solo performance tonight.

She came here to investigate Li Qi, not to be a singer.

She has just revealed an important secret.

She had just crawled back from the brink of death and was in no mood to compete for favor with these vulgar singing girls.

But for some reason, when Tangyuan heard these singing girls talking, he became furious.

She said to Manager Zhang, "Please tell the band that I will sing Moon and Flowers tonight!"

"The moon is full and the flowers are beautiful" is one of the few Proletarian songs that Tangyuan is familiar with.

When they heard that she was going to sing "The Moon is Full and the Flowers are Beautiful", all the singing girls around her laughed.

"You really don't know what's good for you. Is this song for him?"

"After being in the bed of Master Qi, she doesn't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is."

Manager Zhang was also a little embarrassed: "Miss Taohong, you'd better change the song."

Tang Yuan frowned and said, "I want to sing "The Moon is Full and the Flowers Are Beautiful", is that not okay?"

Manager Zhang said, "You just arrived, so you don't know some rules yet. In Xiaoyaowu, "The Full Moon and Beautiful Flowers" is Miss Jiang Mengting's exclusive song."

Tangyuan sighed and wanted to change the song when he suddenly saw Jiang Mengting push open the door of the dressing room.

She has her own dressing room, and she heard all the noises outside just now.

Jiang Mengting looked at Tang Yuan and said with a smile: "Let Taohong sing. We don't have so many rules in Xiaoyaowu. We can sing good songs together."

Tangyuan turned around and looked at Jiang Mengting. Jiang Mengting's smile was friendly, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Having been a secretary for so many years, Tang Yuan naturally had some sense and she knew that Jiang Mengting was very dissatisfied with her.

When Jiang Mengting returned to the dressing room, Manager Zhang advised: "Miss Taohong, change the song."

Change the song?
Tangyuan gritted his teeth.

I’m not allowed to go to the toilet, and I’m not allowed to sing?

Is there anyone who bullies others like this?

It’s fine that I’m bullied by Li Qi, but why should I be bullied by a bunch of bitches like you?

She forgot her reason, her identity, and all the missions she was carrying. She now wanted to tear the faces of these bitches apart!

Tang Yuan raised his head and said, "No! I will just sing "Flowers in Full Bloom and the Moon is Full!"

……

Li Banfeng called Luo Zhengnan and asked him to go to the soda kiln to investigate Chen Weixin's background.

After everything was done, Li Banfeng left Xiaoyaowu and prepared to learn about the progress of the Customs Defense Office's work through other channels.

The outer states want to help the inner state build a passage, and this deal must be ruined. One more way out for the inner state means one more disaster for the Proletariat.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Li Banfeng vaguely heard a bell ringing.

Ding bell~
The voice was so soft that Li Banfeng once suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

But Qiansi Earrings reminded: "Master, the sound comes from the wall."

Li Banfeng walked along the wall for a while and picked up a bell on a wild grass.

The bell was the size of a palm. Li Banfeng seemed to have seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where for a moment.

He checked the bell from top to bottom and saw three words written on the inner wall of the bell: Iron Gate Fort.

What happened at Iron Gate Fort?
Who sent this bell?
Li Banfeng held the bell and fell into deep thought.

jingle!

A guest walked out of Xiaoyaowu and got on a rickshaw.

The driver rang the bell and set off on the road.

……

Tangyuan worked really hard. He borrowed a private room from the manager and practiced word by word for the entire afternoon.

When it was time to go on stage that evening, Tangyuan was sweating all over and his stomach was rumbling.

Did I really eat something wrong?
Not necessarily. Whenever I get nervous, Tangyuan’s stomach feels a little uncomfortable.

Don’t think about your stomach first, think about singing first.

Tangyuan stood in the center of the stage, with all the lights and eyes focused on her.

She is a secretary. Under normal circumstances, she has to walk behind her boss. Only when opening the elevator and car door can she get ahead. She has to let her boss know she is there, and it is best for others not to know she is there.

Now she stood at the front, feeling a little scared but also a little excited.

The prelude started, where is Li Qi?

Didn't he come to listen to the music tonight? Where did he go?
……

"Where is the castle lord? When will he be back?" Wu Yongchao sat at home, pinching his chin, looking worried.

The female housekeeper Li Zhijuan said, "If that fake foreigner really defeats the fortress owner, will we obey him from now on?"

Hu Fangyuan, the house repairman, said, "What else can we do? They are challenging us right to our doorstep."

Dick Chen brought Daboyens to Iron Gate Castle and asked the castle owner to come out and exchange martial arts.

A group of home cultivators actually thought that a martial arts competition was coming. Since the castle lord was not there, they wanted to go and compete on his behalf.

Only after I asked about the matter clearly did I understand the other party's intention.

They came from far away not to compete in martial arts, but to fight for territory.

The condition proposed by Dick Chen was that if he won the battle, Tiemen Fort would belong to him and he would be the lord of Tiemen Fort.

If he loses the fight, all his property worth 600,000 oceans will be handed over to him.

The incident happened so suddenly that the group of home repairmen were caught off guard.

This cannot be blamed on Zhai Xiu's naivety. If someone else encountered this situation, they would also be caught off guard, because this incident should not have happened in Tiemenbao.

Tiemenbao is geographically isolated, and Zhaixiu is not good at business. Apart from maintaining his life, he has only a small amount of savings. If he squeezes them here for years, he may be able to squeeze out some money, but it really doesn't make sense to keep 600,000 oceans stuck here.

Is the place called Tiemenbao worth 600,000 oceans?
Regardless of whether it’s worth it or not, now that they have come looking for us and the castle lord is not in the castle, how can we deal with this?

Jin Yuankang, the old mansion repairman, said, "If they come to challenge the fortress and the fortress lord does not go out to fight, then he will naturally be considered the loser. According to the rules, the one with the surname Chen will be our fortress lord from now on."

Everyone looked at each other and felt that what Jin Yuankang said made sense.

But Wu Yongchao didn't think so: "You just said to follow the rules, which rules are you following?"

Jin Yuankang said: "Isn't this the rule in the martial arts world?"

Hu Fangyuan said: "The old man has been through a lot and has seen a lot. He must know more about these rules than us."

"Nonsense!" Speaking of rules, Wu Yongchao suddenly came to his senses, "This isn't Jianghu, this is Tiemenbao, Jianghu rules don't apply here, we have our own rules!"

Li Zhijuan nodded: "That's right, our castle lord has set rules for us."

Outside the house, Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat and disappeared silently into the night.

……

In the village outside the fort, Dick Chen rented a house, sorted out the magic weapons he carried with him, and was preparing for tomorrow's battle.

It was difficult for Daboyens to understand Dick Chen's thoughts and why he had to attack Iron Gate Fort.

Action will be taken against Iron Gate Fort tomorrow. Dick Chen finally told Daboynes the whole story: "I came here for the top weapon you got."

"Are you talking about the spearman Zhao Xiaowan?"

Dick Chen nodded and said, "So far, this weapon has not shown me any more combat power except for its amazing power."

Daboyans explained: "That's because the level of the weapon itself is too high, and some of its power is still beyond our control."

Dick Chen smiled and said, "Dabo, I said that we are close comrades-in-arms. When you encounter problems, you don't have to rush to explain to me. I have never doubted your ability.
The spear Zhao Xiaowan has a special meaning to us. We will have many actions in the future, which will be carried out around this weapon.
The reason I came here is to find out the origin of this weapon, so as to verify its authenticity, and also to learn how to use it.

The spear Zhao Xiaowan was bought by Xiao Zhenggong from Tiemenbao at a high price. As for how Tiemenbao got the spear, the matter must be investigated from Tiemenbao.
I don't know the newly appointed master of Tiemenbao, but I know that he killed the former master of Tiemenbao, Zhou Anju, and also killed a group of bandits in Feiying Mountain.

Such a person will not easily cooperate with our investigation, so we must use some extraordinary means against him. Now that he is not in Iron Gate Fort, it is a very suitable opportunity for us. I will capture Iron Gate Fort first, and when he comes back, I will ask him about the origin of this spear. "

"If this castle lord is willing to tell the truth, will we return Iron Gate Castle to him?"

"That may not be the case," Dick Chen shook his head and smiled, "These home repairmen in Tiemenbao also have some value in use."

Daboyens was a little worried: "Iron Gate Fort is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I'm afraid the process of capturing Iron Gate Fort will not be very smooth."

Dick Chen sighed and said, "Dabo, I have told you many times that we need to rebuild a brand new Prostate, but the premise is that you must have enough understanding of the current Prostate.

Why is Iron Gate Fort so easy to defend and difficult to attack? Is it just because of the geographical conditions? "

Daboyens said: "The main reason is that the fortress is under house repair, and this sect is good at defense."

Dick Chen nodded and said, "That's right, the focus is on this group of people, but do you know the origins of this group of house repairmen in Tiemenbao?

They are home repairmen who cannot survive in other places. When the castle lord is around, they can form a strong fighting force.
Now that the castle lord is not here, they are nothing. A few threats will have a great deterrent effect on them. We will see the result tomorrow.

This battle won't be too difficult. We can completely capture Iron Gate Fort in a few hours. If something unexpected happens, I have a backup plan. I have invited a helper, and he will be here soon."

At around five in the morning, the sound of rickshaw bells was heard outside the house.

Dick Chen pushed open the door and looked at the driver outside with a smile: "Come in and take a rest?"

The driver shook his head and said, "No need, I can just sleep in the car. Call me when you're ready to work."

PS: Don’t look down on the driver, he is still a strong man above the clouds.
