Under One Person: Dressed as Lü Liang, with vests all over

Chapter 141 I have a secret

Chapter 141 I Have a Secret

"A dead person? How can a dead person show up?"

Huang Ning retorted subconsciously, but soon he reacted and a thoughtful glint flashed in his eyes.

"Master Lu, are you saying that the deaths of some of the thirty-six thieves back then were actually faked? And that they might reappear soon?"

Lu Liang nodded, and while recalling the Jiashen Rebellion, he slowly said:
"Back then, when the major sects received that list, they realized that so many disciples from famous and upright sects had sworn brotherhood with Quanxing Sect Leader Wu Gensheng."

"The leaders of each sect were furious and immediately sent people to retrieve their disciples to get to the bottom of this matter."

"But what was unexpected was that the then-leader of the Shuzi Sect actually personally executed Hu Haiwang, a member of the Shuzi Sect who had participated in the sworn brotherhood, and made his body public."

"His move forced the other sects to take a stand and execute the members involved."

Hearing this, Huang Ning widened his eyes slightly. He also knew something about what happened back then, but obviously not as much as Lu Liang knew.

He glanced at Lu Liang with a hint of surprise, nodded, and took over the conversation:
"The Yanwu Hall's sect history also records some of these things."

"In that era, anything that was detrimental to unity was fatal, so once Hu Haiwang died, the others couldn't be saved either."

"Liu Deshui from our Yanwu Hall fell off a cliff and died during the pursuit."

"However, not many people were ultimately confirmed dead back then, and many are still missing."

"As far as I know, Dou Ruchang of the Secret Painting Sect died after publicly gouging out his heart to prove his guilt, and Wei Shufen, a poison-inflicted woman from the Miao tribe in western Hunan, fell to her death from a cliff... Dong Chang and Xu Xin of the Tang Sect were executed by the leader of the Tang Sect..."

"Among the eight people, the only one who was confirmed dead at the time was Zheng Zibu from Maoshan Shangqing."

"Well... in recent years, someone confirmed dead included Zhang Huaiyi, who was from Mount Longhu..."

……

When talking about the name "Zhang Huaiyi", Huang Ning's expression was a little unnatural.

However, he adjusted himself very quickly and looked at Lu Liang again.

"Master Lu, are you saying that a sect hid the disciple involved and made him 'faked his death'?
Lu Liang smiled and shrugged, "You guessed it right!"

He laughed and said, "Isn't that what the Natural Gate did back then? Otherwise, how did you know the location of the Qinling Mountains?"

Hearing this, Huang Ning coughed lightly and smiled awkwardly.

When the four sects merged into the Truth Seeking Society, the sect aspirations of each sect were also merged together.

As the president of the Truth-Seeking Society, Huang Ning is naturally qualified to review it.

So, he did know something about what happened at the Natural Gate back then.

That year, after the incident of sworn brotherhood, Bian Tong was taken back to the Natural Gate by his fellow disciples.

But the leader of the Natural Gate was reluctant to kill Bian Tong. Instead, he asked many details about Wu Gensheng and their sworn brotherhood, and then took Bian Tong into the Qinling Mountains.

Although Bian Tong later died in Qinling Mountains.

But the Natural Sect’s external statement has always been that Bian Tong had violated the sect’s rules.

Since the Natural Sect can do this, other sects can certainly do it.

Lu Liang took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then continued to ask Huang Ning:

"President Huang, if that person who has been hidden for many years suddenly appeared in the world, how do you think the sects affected by the Jiashen Rebellion would react?"

"Of course I'm shocked, curious, and... aggrieved!"

At this point, Huang Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, and he vaguely guessed Lu Liang's method.

Lu Liang smiled at him and continued:

"Since that sect was able to hide him for so many years, they naturally don't want to let him die now."

"And among those who participated in the sworn brotherhood at that time, even the youngest one is now over a hundred years old and will not live for many more years."

"The company certainly doesn't want to cause another dispute because of this person, so they will most likely choose to keep the matter quiet."

After hearing Lu Liang's analysis, Huang Ning's eyes became brighter and brighter.

At this moment, Lu Liang asked with a smile: "President Huang, how do you think the company will resolve this matter?"

"Of course, the company's top management will come forward to appease those other sects who executed their members according to the agreement!"

Huang Ning's tone and eyes became excited at the same time.

If such a thing really happens, it will be the best opportunity in the history of the Truth Seeking Society.

Back then, their Yanwu Hall, Ziranmen... all "honestly" followed the agreement and dealt with the disciples in their sects who participated in the sworn brotherhood.

If other sects, especially the big ones, do such "fraudulent" things, they will have a reason to get angry.

In this case, Nadutong must come out to uphold justice.

Or, punish the thirty-six thieves who "faked their death" and the sect that sheltered them.

Otherwise, compensation should be given to those sects that actively cooperated in the past.

In particular, among the original four sects of their Seeking Truth Society, three of them had people who had participated in the sworn brotherhood.

Mr. Fang, the oldest elder among the Truth Seeking Society, is Bian Tong’s close junior fellow apprentice.

As long as he had this opportunity, he could go to Zhao Fangxu and cry about his grievances, and seek compensation...

The seat of the Ten Lords Association is closer to the Truth Seeking Association!

……

After figuring out the key, Huang Ning looked at Lu Liang with much more enthusiasm.

Even the name was quietly changed.

"Brother Lu, I wonder which sect you are talking about?"

Lu Liang shook his head and did not answer directly, but said:
"Don't worry about this, President Huang. I'll give you a signal when the critical moment comes."

As he spoke, Lu Liang took out a ring-shaped communication device from his devouring sac and handed it to Huang Ning.

"This 'Voice Transmission Ring' can be used as long as it is infused with Qi. You can also use it to contact me when needed."

Huang Ning carefully took the silver ring.

Communication device, this is a rare thing.

And the storage magic device mentioned earlier is even more rare.

Huang Ning couldn't help but think silently: Could it be that Quan Xingyuan Tao's weapon refining skills have become so advanced?
At this moment, Huang Ning's expression was one of curiosity and joy, while Lu Liang's expression was slightly painful.

Last time, Ma Xianhong made him a set of communication instruments. He took the five-in-one version of the ring, and there were also five single-ring rings, which could be given to five people respectively.

The first sound transmission ring was naturally left to Ma Xianhong.

Before leaving, he gave one to Yuan Tao so that he could know about Quan Xing's affairs in time.

Afterwards, in Mincheng, he gave one to Xiao Xiao, and yesterday before leaving the Twenty-Four Sections Valley, he gave another one to Zhang Chulan.

In other words, after giving Huang Ning the one in his hand, all the sound transmission rings that Ma Xianhong gave to Lu Liang were used up.

Moreover, the original protective magic weapon "Blue Battle Armor" was also shattered by Zhou Sheng when he forced Zhou Sheng to show up.

"Looks like I should go back and restock some supplies," Lu Liang thought to himself. "I wonder how Ma Xianhong and the others are doing with the construction of the mutual aid association's base..."

……

"Then Brother Lu, when are we going to take action?"

Huang Ning's impatient voice interrupted Lu Liang's thoughts.

"Wait a little longer." Lu Liang said calmly, "The company doesn't have time to deal with this matter recently."

"Besides, the Truth Seeking Association has been waiting for so long, so a month or so won't make a difference."

Huang Ning nodded when he heard this, "As long as it works in the end, waiting doesn't matter!"

After these words were spoken, the conference hall fell into a brief silence.

Looking at Lu Liang who was sitting opposite him calmly drinking tea, Huang Ning's eyes rolled and the expression on his face changed.

The person sitting in front of him was Quan Xing, the Quan Xing who caused the company and the Ten Boss a lot of headaches and was helpless.

It is naturally impossible for such a person to help him for no reason, so the Truth Seeking Society must give something in exchange.

So what does the other party want?

Huang Ning thought for a moment and figured out the key.

He put on a smile and said to Lu Liang:

"Although I, Huang Ning, am not very prominent in the world of extraordinary people and shouldn't judge the Ten Lords, but since I feel like I've known Brother Lu for a long time, I'll dare to speak a few words from the heart."

"If you ask me, many people in the current Ten Lords Association are too extreme and utilitarian."

"Just based on a few posts on the forum, they mobilized half the army to surround a young and promising person, even attempting to use capital punishment... This is simply outrageous!"

Huang Ning shook his head as he spoke, his face filled with grief. "If I, Huang Ning, were truly fortunate enough to become one of the Ten Lords, I would definitely offer some advice to prevent them from being led astray by some extreme individuals."

"Of course, there are still some seniors among the Ten Lords whom I admire very much. They are the role models for me, Huang."

"Like Mr. Lu, I have always admired him very much..."

While saying this, Huang Ning kept paying attention to Lu Liang's expression.

When Huang Ning noticed that Lu Liang had a smile on his face, a look of satisfaction flashed across his eyes.

At this time, Lu Liang was also very satisfied with Huang Ning's secret statement.

This kind of person who can endure, act, and is particularly aware of the current situation... is perfect to be an insider!

The two looked at each other tacitly and reached a cooperation silently.

Only then did Huang Ning finally relax and start talking about the Qinling Mountains.

"Brother Lu, thank you for bringing Liu Jian's body out of Qinling. Did you successfully enter the Twenty-Four Sections Valley this time?"

Lu Liang nodded slightly.

Huang Ning's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he asked, "Brother Lu, are there really traces of immortality in the Twenty-Four Sections Valley?"

……

"What's in that twenty-four-section valley you mentioned?"

At the same time, this question was asked by Bi Youlong in another place.

Beijing City, the eighth underground floor of the Nadutong Company headquarters.

Step out of the elevator and turn right, and you will see a room with the words "Interrogation Room" written on the door.

In the center of the room, there is a chair with an exquisite and unique design.

The chair is called "Congkuan Bench" and can determine whether the person being interrogated is lying by accurately detecting subtle changes in the human body's Qi flow and fluctuations in various physiological indicators.

At this time, Zhang Chulan was sitting on a wide bench, being interrogated.

Zhang Chulan raised his head obediently. Right in front of him was a huge glass wall.

On the other side of the glass wall, there is an instrument display panel inlaid with the shape of a "wide bench", which displays various parameters.

At this moment, there were three people standing in front of the display panel.

It was Zhao Fangxu, chairman of Nadutong, and directors Bi Youlong and Huang Boren.

Zhang Chulan looked at Bi Youlong standing on the left and said innocently, "Mr. Bi, didn't I just say that?"

"Inside the Twenty-Four Sections Valley, there are mountain walls, caves, and, oh, yes, lots of monkeys."

As Zhang Chulan finished speaking, the instruments on the glass wall showed that all indicators were normal.

"It's the truth." Huang Boren said as he looked at the instrument display.

"Humph! Of course it's the truth! And they are all truths without any real value!" Bi Youlong sneered unhappily.

Soon, he stared at Zhang Chulan coldly and asked in a different way:
"Zhang Chulan, please answer in detail, what secrets does the Twenty-Four Sections Valley hide?"

"A secret?" Zhang Chulan said with a thoughtful expression, his voice steady. "There's a cave over there called 'What is Human Cave?'"

"The cave is amazing. It has many passages inside, but they all lead to the center."

Zhao Fangxu and the other two remained silent, their eyes fixed on the display panel in front of them.

At this moment, the results displayed on the panel clearly showed that what Zhang Chulan said was still the truth.

Zhang Chulan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

This was his second time on the wide bench, and he had figured out the pattern.

The limitation of the wide stool is that an incomplete truth is still the truth.

As long as he strikes the right balance, he can answer in a way that avoids the main point.

Moreover, Bi Youlong and Huang Boren focused more on Lu Liang, and the baby's secret was still safe for the time being.

As expected, Bi Youlong frowned and didn't dwell on the issue of the Twenty-Four Section Valley. Instead, he asked, "Where did Lu Liang go?"

"I don't know, he didn't tell me." Zhang Chulan answered truthfully.

The data on the instrument table has not changed, this is the truth.

"Is Lu Liang's ability to disguise himself his own, or is it achieved with the help of others?" Huang Boren also asked a question.

"I'm not sure. When I met Lu Liang, he hadn't changed his appearance."

This is still true.

Bi Youlong frowned and said speechlessly: "How come you don't know anything!"

Zhang Chulan spread his hands and said, "Mr. Bi, I also want to find out about Lu Liang's matter. I am limited by my ability!"

After saying this, Zhao Fangxu glanced at the instrument display screen.

Interestingly, this is also true.

Zhao Fangxu adjusted his glasses and asked:

"Chu Lan, do you know what Lu Liang's purpose in going to Qinling is?"

"I don't know his real purpose, but I saw that he was accompanying Mei Jinfeng."

"Then do you think his purpose is related to Wu Gensheng?"

"I think so."

Hearing this answer, Zhao Fangxu narrowed his eyes behind the glasses and fell into thought.

On the side, Bi Youlong asked again sharply:
"Zhang Chulan, did you get any benefits from Lu Liang in Qinling?"

"Oh, come on."

Zhang Chulan's words immediately aroused the interest of the three people.

Bi Youlong pressed on: "What benefits did you gain?"

"A devouring capsule, the one I handed in earlier, which contained members of the Yaoxing Society."

Upon hearing this answer, Zhao Fangxu and the others' expressions changed at the same time.

The magical weapon called the Devouring Sac can hold an unconscious person. Could this be how Lu Liang came out?
Thinking of this, Bi Youlong immediately asked in a sharp voice: "Zhang Chulan, was it you who brought Lu Liang out from Qinling Mountains using the swallowing sac?"

"It's unfair!" Zhang Chulan shouted loudly.

"How could Lu Liang be willing to be brought out unconscious by me? He's not stupid. Besides, if that were the case, I would definitely hand him over to the company..."

Hearing Zhang Chulan's cry of injustice, Bi Youlong waved his hand impatiently.

"Zhang Chulan, stop talking nonsense and give a direct answer."

"Did you bring Lu Liang out here? Yes or No?"

"No." Zhang Chulan answered loudly.

The three of them all looked at the instrument display screen, and all the indicators were very stable.

Well, that's the truth.

……

A lot of information was obtained during this interrogation.

Not only did we know the existence of Qi Ju, but we also determined that the twenty-four valleys were related to rootless growth.

But Bi Youlong was not very satisfied with the result.

Because this information is of little use in capturing Lu Liang.

Bi Youlong squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Chulan through the glass wall.
