I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 368 Male Concubines
“Xuan.” Feng Jing pointed to the two characters on the paper, “Ping, Xuan.”

“Pingxuan.” Chu Liuzheng blinked. “Isn’t that Pingyu’s older brother?”

“That’s right.” Feng Jing waved the paper in his hand at everyone. “He’s the one who sent Ji An to rescue Ping Yu. He must have a high position in Yin Lan Ci’s eyes.”

[Tsk, that's more than just high-ranking; Ping Xuan is actually Yin Lan Ci's eldest disciple and male concubine!]

Chu Liuzheng was so shocked when he saw the gossip that had just been found in the system that he almost dropped his jaw.

Xiao Jingfan, a skilled eavesdropper: ! !

When Chu Liu was scheming against Ping Yu, he didn't look closely and only glanced at Ping Xuan's whereabouts. He didn't expect there to be a surprise hidden there.

No wonder Pingyu couldn't find his brother. This guy followed Yin Lanci around, deliberately concealing his whereabouts. It would be a miracle if Pingyu could find him.

[Let me see. Pingxuan learned from the whistleblower's message that Pingyu was in Longkou Town. After confirming that he was his long-lost younger brother, he specifically asked Yin Lanci for permission to go to Longkou Town to pick up his younger brother.]

Yin Lanci treated him quite well, assigning Ji An directly to him.

Judging from the timing, Pingxuan arrived just after we left Longkou Town. He was overjoyed at the prospect of reuniting with his brother, but then his younger brother was kidnapped by unknown assailants, and in a fit of rage, he immediately dispatched Ji'an.

[Wow, Pingxuan's a ruthless guy. He actually let Ji'an go on a killing spree, as long as Pingyu survives. No wonder Ji'an unleashed his ultimate move right from the start, indiscriminately injuring everyone.]

Chu Liuzheng clicked his tongue twice in his mind and closed the system.

Suddenly she felt someone watching her, and looked up to see what was happening.

Greetings, tyrant; goodbye, tyrant.

She stiffly looked away and sighed inwardly.

This lousy class is unbearable!

Xiao Jingfan's eyes darkened, but he casually withdrew his gaze and turned to Feng Jing: "Treat Pingyu's injuries, don't let him die."

Since Pingxuan values ​​this younger brother, and Pingxuan is Yin Lanci's apprentice and male concubine, how can we not make good use of such a special status?
Feng Jing had already treated Ping Yu.

He was, after all, a kind and skilled doctor with a soft heart; how could he possibly stand by and watch someone die?

"Hmm." Xiao Jingfan instructed Zhou Yuande, "Pingyu's martial arts are quite good. In case he causes trouble, continue to feed him the muscle-relaxing powder. If he runs away, I will hold you responsible."

Zhou Yuande readily agreed, thinking that he would ask Feng Jing for more bone-softening powder later, so that he could make sure he didn't miss any of his three meals a day.

Xiao Jingfan flipped through the pile of confessions again, then looked up at Chen Xing and Si Yue: "Only Hong Ying refuses to confess?"

The two nodded, and Mitsuki said, "She probably knows a lot, so she wouldn't dare to use any more powerful methods."

She put it rather euphemistically, but the so-called "powerful methods" were actually tortures, some of which were commonly used by government officials, and others were invented by instructors of the secret guards.

Interrogation is a required course for the secret guards, and Chenxing and Siyue naturally know how to do it; in fact, they are quite good at it.

However, some methods, if not used carefully, can easily send someone to their death, and should not be used on someone like Hongying who still has value.

Xiao Jingfan frowned slightly. He was sure he could get a lot out of Hongying, such as the situation at Thousand Feet Cliff and Yin Lanci's plans. He had to pry her open up!
“Young Master, why don’t we let Sister Liuzheng give it a try?” Chen Xing’s eyes darted around as she reached out and grabbed Chu Liuzheng’s arm, recommending, “Sister Liuzheng did a great job interrogating Abbot Jiang and the others before; she got a lot of information out of them without even using torture.”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Chu Liuzheng, especially Jiang Yao beside him.

Chu Liuzheng: "..."

What are you looking at? Do you think I want to interrogate you? I was forced into it.

She almost talked herself hoarse that day!
Thinking of this, she glanced at Chen Xing sideways, as if to say, "Are you trying to harm me, or are you trying to harm me, or are you trying to harm me?"
Chen Xing didn't mean it that way at all. She genuinely thought Chu Liuzheng was amazing. He could extract what she wanted without torture, which was the highest level of interrogation. There weren't many people in the Dark Guard Camp who could do that. She admired Chu Liuzheng so much.

She brought it up so that Chu Liuzheng could show off his skills in front of Xiao Jingfan.

Only those with ability have value, and only those with value will not be abandoned. She quite liked Chu Liuzheng, her older sister, and wanted to call her that for a couple more days.

"Sister, why don't you give it a try?" Chen Xing hugged Chu Liuzheng and snuggled against him, pleading softly.

Chu Liuzheng was helpless. It wasn't that she couldn't interrogate him, after all, she had a system. As long as she looked carefully, she could always find a weakness.

However, the thought of the scream she heard this morning made her a little scared.

Who knows if those people are still whole people? She'll investigate, but she doesn't want to have nightmares!
Just as Chu Liuzheng was struggling with this decision, he suddenly heard Xiao Jingfan say, "She won't do."

Chu Liuzheng was taken aback and blinked.

Fine.

Chen Xing pouted, still wanting to speak up for Chu Liuzheng, but Si Yue reached out and pulled her back, whispering, "Sister Liuzheng will be scared."

Chen Xing was taken aback. Was he scared?
Looking at Chu Liuzheng's fair face, clean hands, and almond-shaped eyes filled with warmth, she suddenly lost her senses.

Yes, Chu Liuzheng is not like them, who are used to life and death and have rolled in the waters of swords. She is afraid of blood.

At this moment, Jiang Yao, who was sitting on the other side of Chu Liuzheng, suddenly raised her hand: "I can give it a try, but I have a condition."

Xiao Jingfan looked at her: "What are the conditions?"

“The red tassel is mine.” Jiang Yao’s eyes seemed to turn red for a moment, her lips curled up, and she emphasized, “All of them.”

Before Xiao Jingfan could react, Feng Jing jumped.

He crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes: "You want to raise your Shadow Moon Gu again?"

Jiang Yao nodded, showing no embarrassment at having her thoughts exposed, and her expression was completely calm.

As fellow Gu breeders, Hongying possessed many valuable items. She had wanted them when they captured people last night, but she had held back until now because of her cooperation with Xiao Jingfan.

She must cultivate the Shadow Moon Gu before facing Yin Lanci to avenge her master!
Feng Jing clicked his tongue, seemingly wanting to say something, but seeing Jiang Yao's expression, he ultimately said nothing.

Chu Liuzheng glanced at him, puzzled.

Why is Doctor Feng reacting so strongly to Abbot Jiang's practice of raising Gu poison?

Xiao Jingfan also discovered this, and he had some guesses about it.

However, it was Jiang Yao's decision after all, and as long as it didn't affect the overall situation, he didn't care. So he readily agreed to the conditions proposed by Jiang Yao.

"If you can get the answer, Hongying is yours."

Jiang Yao smiled, clearly pleased. She asked, "What do you want to know?"

Xiao Jingfan thought for a moment and said, "Asking Hongying about everything related to Yin Lanci, such as her trump cards, her plans, her arrangements in Sishui Town, which forces she is colluding with, the situation at Qianchi Cliff, etc."

Hearing this long list of examples, Jiang Yao tilted her head, feeling a bit cheated.

She pointed at Siyue and Chenxing: "I need their help, as well as that guard named Eleven."

Xiao Jingfan called out to the empty space, "Eleven."

A dark figure flashed into the courtyard.

"Please give me your orders, Lord."

Xiao Jingfan gestured with his chin toward Jiang Yao: "You listen to her tonight."
