When Sun Lang returned with the unconscious assassin, the bamboo forest had been surrounded by Ning Guofu's private soldiers. After all, there was a lot of noise just now, especially the shooting, which alarmed many people.
He was good at martial arts, so he quietly entered with the assassin. Jia Shidao fed his father medicine and was healing him. Seeing Sun Lang return, his face lit up.
Sun Lang threw the assassin aside and pressed on Jia Xu's shoulder.
A thick and solid internal force was injected into Jia Xu's body, and naturally merged with Duke Ning's Genuine Qi, nourishing his vitality. In a moment, the depression dissipated, and the blockage was reconnected. Jia Xu's internal injury was not serious, and now with Sun Lang's help, his internal breath was running smoothly.
He took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and glanced at Sun Lang. He said in a complicated tone, "You have lost your holy sword. How can you still have this power?"
Sun Lang smiled faintly. "After such a big loss, I have to get something back. It's barely worth it."
That day in the battle of the Great Barren Mountain, he was caught off guard and suffered the backlash of the Ancestor Demon Weapon. Then there was the extremely dangerous soul battle. The two divine minds fought desperately. At the moment of the soul battle, they touched the deepest part of each other's mind and learned many secrets in each other's memories.
Therefore, in the thousands of years when the Ancestor The Devil was the sword of the first Sky Demon, its knowledge, memories, battle experience, the art of war it was influenced by, and even the secrets of the extraterritorial Sky Demon, from the control authority of the base to the control method of the portal, from the instructions of the unmanned weapons to the secrets of cultivation and refining methods, were all seen by Sun Lang.
Of course, the Progenitor Demonspawn did not lose out either. He witnessed with his own eyes a youth in his twenties with memories of another planet that were gradually becoming blurry from six or seven years ago, as well as his early life that he had almost forgotten, and learned a lot of very nerdy and very dirty knowledge along the way.
If he peeped carefully, he might be able to find the simple ratio of one sulfur, two nitrate, and three charcoal for gunpowder. He might even be able to think of the chemical equation for burning glass, many ancient poems that could be used to show off, and the formula for the conversion of mass and energy that represented the infinite power of destruction.
Wow, especially the last one, it was a big gain.
However, with so much knowledge stuffed into his head in such a short period of time, in the extremely dangerous environment of the Great Desolate Mountain, and in that moment of extreme despair and fury, even Sun Lang could not immediately digest such a huge amount of knowledge. Other than the combat experience and techniques that had been forcefully confirmed and absorbed by the endless slaughter and violent battles, the rest of the knowledge was dormant in the depths of his heart, waiting for him to slowly flip through and absorb it, and finally become something that belonged to him.
The process would be very long.
The main reason was that Sun Lang did not feel the need to learn that kind of thing.
Just like what Jia Xu had asked, the method to preserve the power of the Sacred Swords was indeed not difficult. Imperial Armaments were not as complicated as people imagined them to be. The power of Imperial Armaments was also not that mysterious and unfathomable.
Jia Xu did not ask more. He looked at the unconscious assassin on the ground and asked coldly, "Who is it?"
Jia Xu and his son both knew that with Sun Lang's martial arts, he could drag the opponent back with a finger. But Sun Lang had just gone out to chase after the assassin, and since it was impossible for him to miss, he must have interrogated and probed in advance. So Jia Xu asked directly.
Sun Lang looked at his uncle without batting an eyelid. "It should be one of the princes who sent him to assassinate you, probably to show off to me."
Jia Xu thought of Sun Lang's words and repeated with a cold smile, "He came at the wrong time."
Sun Lang nodded and said, "Eldest Uncle can tell as well. That Prince is a retard."
Jia Xu said faintly, "Looking at the Wang family's actions, it doesn't seem like the work of a retarded person."
Sun Lang said, "Indeed, they should have a very powerful think tank with a very mysterious identity. Even a hanger-on like him doesn't know about it … This is very strange."
Jia Xu's chest still hurt a little, and his heart was naturally filled with anger. Ever since he became suspicious of Sun Lang's identity, his mentality had changed.
Originally, even if he was attacked by an assassin, he definitely wouldn't say anything, because this was one of the enemy's methods. Since he was going to fight alongside his nephew, then this was a risk that he had to bear. He just had to get back his debt with interest … After all, that was his own nephew.
But now, it was different.
He was not.
So …
I've been implicated …
Just as Jia Xu had this feeling of anger, it was casually chased out of his mind. Now that everything was unclear, he could not be affected by meaningless thoughts.
He looked at the assassin on the ground and said coldly, "How do you want to deal with him?"
Sun Lang said faintly, "Since you're here, don't leave. Let's kill one of his sons to liven things up."
— — This audacious person.
Jia Xu's heart skipped a beat as he thought of an idea. Then, he put it aside and tried to calm himself down. He said slowly, "Have you interrogated this fellow?"
Sun Lang nodded his head straightforwardly. "He is not a death warrior, but a retainer or something. He is not a tool, but he has a spiritual need to be loyal. Today he made a big mistake. This mistake is enough to push his master into a dead end. For him, this is more painful than being cut by a knife … So I took the opportunity to scare him, to let him know my identity, to let him know that I can kill his master, and to let him know that I am a lawless madman."
Jia Xu looked at him calmly.
Sun Lang's heart skipped a beat. He knew what Jia Xu was thinking.
But he did not say anything.
Jia Xu's heart also beat faster. He said calmly, "Then, what did this fellow say?"
"I only asked him about the mastermind. He doesn't know anything."
Sun Lang answered. "Although he doesn't have the strange power to commit suicide like Madam Ma and Wang Zishan, and seems to be sent by the prince, I'm still worried that everything is under the mastermind's control. I'm worried that there's a shadow behind all this … So, I didn't ask much."
"Because what he says might not be the truth. It might be a smoke bomb or a trap … Even if he's telling the truth, because that's just what he thinks is the truth."
Jia Xu looked at Sun Lang.
The person in front of him was extremely calm, so calm that every step he took was precise and accurate, and he did not make any mistakes.
Even if the important information was at his fingertips, as long as he interrogated, he would be able to find out the prince's identity. He might even be able to follow the clues to find the enemy's base.
However, he still chose to give up because he believed that there might be a hidden trap, so he didn't do it.
Calm, suspicious.
If he was really Jia Ying … that would be great.
Sun Lang seemed to have understood part of Jia Xu's gaze. He shook his head and said, "Maybe we can interrogate the other party to find out his identity, but if we want to follow the vine to the melon to find the nest, that's impossible. Not to mention that this fellow will never betray the lord, even if we can really get the information, that prince would have already escaped …"
Jia Xu asked, "Then, what are you going to do?"
Sun Lang glanced at the assassin on the ground. "I don't believe the answer that comes out of his mouth. My opponent is the brains of that team. He must be a very interesting fellow … Since I don't believe his answer, I'll have to find the answer myself. I believe the answer that I see."
Pointing at the assassin, Sun Lang said to Jia Shidao, "Shidao, take him to the Jinling government office later and add some pressure to Magistrate Jia."
Jia Xu seemed to understand Sun Lang's plan. He sneered. "Don't scare Jia Yucun into abandoning his position and running away."
Sun Lang said calmly, "Isn't that better?
If the master of Jinling abandons his position and runs away, Shidao's gold medal will come out. First, he will be accused of corruption and abusing his power for personal gain. Then, he will be said to have a guilty conscience and run the Jinling government as an imperial envoy. "
"If the master runs away because of a guilty conscience, the other officials will definitely be involved. We just need to scare them a little and make them tremble and cry out that they were wronged. At this time, Shidao will pacify them and let them work hard to prove their innocence. They will definitely be loyal to the imperial envoy and be willing to die for him. After all, Jia Yucun is a transferred official, and they are all locals. Their whole families are here, where would they dare to go?"
Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He muttered, "Hey, if this is the case, our control over the Jinling government seems to be stronger, and it will be more convenient for us to do things … Should we secretly kill Jia Yucun?"
Jia Xu's face had already darkened. This guy was really lawless.
Since this guy was an impostor, the Jia family was determined not to go down the same path as this guy. At least, they could not be like before and not leave any leeway for the imperial court … Jia Xu was not in a position to speak, so he pinned his hopes on Jia Shidao. His son was an upright and almost pedantic little idiot. If he heard Sun Lang's idea of killing an official, he would definitely protest and stop it.
Jia Shidao thought about it and shook his head. "Brother, this plan is not appropriate. After all, we've shown the imperial edict to Jia Yucun, and he'll understand what we mean. He'll take the blame for us, and we can use him to deal with the enemy. If we kill him directly, the enemy will definitely have a backup plan. Let's not talk about other things, but if they claim that Jia Yucun abandoned his position and ran away, this news will definitely spread. As long as the enemy works a little, they can report it to the Summer State Prefecture and even the imperial court.
Sun Lang thought for a while and said, "That makes sense … Then let's keep Jia Yucun alive first. We will send this assassin to the prison and prepare a big surprise."
Jia Shidao smiled and nodded. "Okay."
Jia Xu looked at his son and then at Sun Lang.
Although his son had successfully stopped Sun Lang's crazy idea, he still felt that something was wrong.
