Chapter 230 Keep it for now
Exchange treasures for needed martial arts resources?
This sounds reasonable.
After all, there is only one treasure, and it may not be of much short-term help to warriors. It is better to exchange it for something that can quickly improve the strength in the Marquis Mansion.
but……
Once Chu Liang agrees, or subconsciously makes a slight nod, it is tantamount to admitting that he has obtained the treasure!
This old man is still deceiving him!
Until now, Chu Liang has not admitted that he took the treasure.
Everything Wei Kun said was just to force or induce Chu Liang to admit.
As long as he admits it, the Hou Mansion will have many ways to find out from him where the treasure is hidden!
Chu Liang smiled and said: "I thought so, but I really didn't get the treasure. I don't even know what the treasure was. The blood was so strong at that time. I guess it must be related to Qi and blood."
Hearing this, Wei Kun frowned slightly.
No matter whether it was coercion or temptation, Chu Liang could not get Chu Liang to reveal the location of the treasure.
Did he really not get the treasure?
Judging from the situation at the time, Chu Liang was indeed one of the people most likely to get the treasure. After all, all the masters and demons in the Skin Refining Realm had been lured away by the mysterious man, so they would definitely not be able to get it.
Under the Skin Refining Realm, Chu Liang is the most powerful and has the best talent.
Therefore, many people suspected that it was him.
In fact, the treasure was probably born because of him!
This kind of example is not unprecedented in the past. All things have spirits, and the treasures have excellent spirituality. They will actively choose people with high talents and strength as their masters.
Wei Kun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Chu Liang, you don't have to worry. The Hou Mansion is only interested in the treasure and doesn't care about anything else. As long as you are willing to exchange, I can swear on behalf of the Hou Mansion that I will never do anything to you. "
Chu Liang looked a little helpless and said: "Mr. Wei, I can also swear on my martial arts future that I really did not get that treasure."
"You kid, how can you treat your future as a child's play in martial arts? Don't swear by martial arts easily!" Wei Kun frowned.
"Mr. Wei, you really don't believe it, so I have no other choice." Chu Liang replied.
"How about this……"
Wei Kun looked at Chu Liang and took out a contract from his arms.
It is written in black on white paper and stamped with the seal of the Marquis Mansion.
With a solemn expression, he placed the contract in front of the two of them and asked in a deep voice: "Chu Liang, do you know what this is?"
Chu Liang thought for a while and replied: "Could it be the guard contract of the Hou Mansion?"
"Wrong! The guard contract is just the most common contract in the Hou Mansion!" Wei Kun shook his head slightly, "The contract you have in front of you is the best contract for outsiders. As long as you sign it, your status will be the same. If you are a concubine of the Hou Mansion, you will be treated as a branch of the Hou Mansion, and your family will be protected by the Hou Mansion. "
If this contract were exposed to the outside world, it would definitely cause a shock.
A concubine from the Hou Mansion comes out!
Although this status is not as good as the direct line of the Hou Mansion, it is just a branch, but it is enough to make countless warriors crazy.
Even the slaves of the Hou Mansion are regarded as masters outside the Hou Mansion, let alone the concubines of the Hou Mansion?
In the face of this status, even Wang Teng, Liu Yu and other direct descendants of the uncle's family did not dare to neglect him.
"Chu Liang, as long as you take out the treasure, this contract will be yours. From now on, you will be a concubine of my house, and no one will dare to bully you with your status!"
Wei Kun, who had gray hair, pressed the contract tightly with his withered right hand, looked at Chu Liang, and his tone was extremely solemn.
This is an opportunity to soar into the sky!
Chu Liang was born in a mountain village.
From the impoverished mountain village to the Jinyuhou Mansion, this is a huge leap, and the distance in between is despairingly large.
Moreover, as long as his descendants make no mistakes, they will also enjoy the same treatment.
As long as Chu Liang nods, the local county chronicle will open a separate page for him!
"Chu Liang, I know that you and Wang Teng had conflicts in the mountains." Wei Kun said again, "As long as you sign this contract, the conflicts between you two will disappear completely, and Wang Teng will never dare to mention anything again. He will even try his best to get closer to you."
He stared straight at Chu Liang, observing the changes in Chu Liang's eyes, face, and even the corners of his mouth, trying to discern useful information.
But he was disappointed.
Chu Liang shook his head and said: "Mr. Wei, this contract is very attractive to me, but I really didn't get the treasure. Even if you exchange your status as a direct descendant, I can't give it to you."
Wei Kun's voice was low: "Really?"
"No."
"What were you doing when the treasure was born?"
"I'm searching the caves of those big monsters."
"Um?"
Wei Kun was startled, stared at Chu Liang and asked, "You are so brave, how dare you raid the Great Demon's Cave?"
Chu Liang nodded and said: "Mr. Wei, those big monsters were lured away by the mysterious man at that time. That was my opportunity. After all, wealth can only be found in danger."
"How many demon caves have you raided?" Wei Kun asked again.
"Two." Chu Liang replied.
"Which two?"
"There is a bull demon and a crane demon. Their treasures are all in my house."
Chu Liang looked calm and answered in detail: "If Mr. Wei doesn't believe it, you can go back with me. I still have the fallen feathers of the crane demon in my house."
"That's all, I believe you."
Wei Kun sighed slightly, slowly put away the contract on the table, and looked away.
Before this, he had asked many warriors, some of whom were near the valley at that time. Those warriors said that they did not get the treasure and did not see Chu Liang.
After that, Wei Kun seemed to have given up and asked some seemingly simple questions, but those questions had hidden mysteries!
If you don't answer carefully, information about the treasure will be exposed accidentally.
After about a quarter of an hour, this long inquiry finally came to an end.
Finally, Wei Kun made Chu Liang make an oath - swearing that he had not obtained the treasure.
Chu Liang did as he was told, made an extremely vicious oath, and was finally able to leave, walking out of this dark and cold secret room.
Outside the prison.
The breeze blows on my face and the bright moon hangs high.
"The treasure has been saved for the time being."
Chu Liang's expression didn't change much, but he felt much more relaxed.
Outside, seeing Chu Liang walking out of the dark cell, surprise flashed across many people's faces.
There is no other reason. Chu Liang has been asked for too long!
It's hard to imagine what he went through inside.
"Senior Brother Chu, are you okay?"
Tieniu hurried forward and asked with concern.
The other disciples of the Autumn Sword Martial Arts School also looked worried.
"fine."
Chu Liang smiled calmly and faced everyone, his expression was very calm, but there was still a sense of urgency in his heart.
He knew that the Hou Mansion and the other forces would definitely not give up.
Tonight's questioning is just the first difficulty. In the next period of time, the entire county will be turned upside down.
Whether that piece of stone meat can be saved is still a question.
"We have to find a way to hide in a place that no one can think of." Chu Liang thought to himself that the county town was no longer safe and he had to hide somewhere else.
