Chapter 252

Yan Qingwu finally realized it belatedly...

The reason this little brat surnamed Chen acted so light and breezy was to dig a hole and trick her into talking!

Too insidious!

"Right!"

Chen Yan smiled indifferently, took in all of Yan Qingwu's emotional changes, shrugged, and said playfully: "You idiot from the Qi Kingdom, you still have some brains..."

Although the high-intensity torture overnight had caused this woman's brain to slow down.

But her reaction was still quite fast...

"Heh!"

Yan Qingwu forced herself to calm down, snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "Self-proclaimed smart Superintendent of Mingjing Si, are you so sure that I am from the Qi Kingdom?"

"And not sent by the old Pillar of State Zhao?"

She tried to continue to confuse the situation in this ambiguous way.

"Actually, no matter how flowery your tongue is, it's useless..."

Chen Yan rubbed his chin, admiring Yan Qingwu's performance with great interest, and reminded her nonchalantly: "Because before coming here, I already went to see your companion!"

"Chen Yan, do you want to trick me again?"

Yan Qingwu sneered and said confidently: "I know Zhang Sui better than you; he wouldn't reveal a single word..."

You want to use the same trick a second time?

Do you really take me for a fool?

"Are you so sure?"

Chen Yan blinked and asked back unhurriedly.

He paused, then continued: "I promised him that whoever confesses first will be spared their life..."

"You have to know that when people are on the verge of death, they will desperately grab the last straw!"

He bit on certain words with cadence.

Matching that extremely bewitching tone, he said it as if it were true.

However, this did indeed fit the prisoner's dilemma...

Because the two sides of the game do not trust any consideration of their own interests, the optimal solution for the individual is often the worst solution for the collective.

"Hahahaha!"

Yan Qingwu didn't show the slightest sign of panic; instead, she laughed out loud and mocked: "Chen Yan, oh Chen Yan, if Zhang Sui had said anything, you wouldn't have come to me..."

"You underestimate a death warrior too much!"

Wanting to use psychological games to trick out useful information was a good method, but he forgot a key link...

What death warriors fear least is death!

Moreover, doesn't the fact that this Superintendent could appear here just show that he returned empty-handed from Zhang Sui and wanted to try his luck with her?

"Tsk, you actually couldn't be bluffed..."

"Boring!"

Chen Yan crossed his arms over his chest, smacked his lips, quite disappointed.

"So the Superintendent of Mingjing Si, who is blown up to the sky, also has no tricks up his sleeve!"

Seeing Chen Yan frustrated because she had guessed correctly, Yan Qingwu laughed even more wantonly and mocked.

She paused, then added: "Let me give you a piece of advice, Superintendent, don't waste your time on me; you won't get any information you want. Either kill me, or continue the torture!"

After speaking, she looked determined to die.

As if to say, Chen, your little tricks can't do anything to me at all...

But Chen Yan didn't show the kind of rage, fury, or anger she had expected; instead, he remained exceptionally calm, stroked his forehead, and laughed: "Actually, I went to your companion just now, what was his name?"

"Zhang Sui, right?"

"I also asked him the same question, just changed a few words in the middle..."

His words were full of meaning.

"What do you mean by that?"

"What did you change?"

Seeing this, Yan Qingwu's heart skipped a beat, and she asked.

This kid in front of her was acting too calm...

Very wrong!

"Just changed Xiao imperial clan to Gao imperial clan..."

Chen Yan pursed his lips and said slowly: "Guess what his reaction was?"

"Zhang Sui wouldn't have any reaction!"

Yan Qingwu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and replied decisively.

She thought it was some brilliant trick?

It turned out to be just swapping the surnames of the two imperial clans?

Do you think you can trick Zhang Sui with this? Who are you looking down on?

"You guessed right, he really didn't have any reaction..."

Chen Yan nodded, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his smile became even more playful as he said: "So I can be sure and certain that you are people of the Gao Qi Kingdom!"

"Why?"

Yan Qingwu didn't understand and asked: "Superintendent Chen, are you so confident?"

After the exchange of words earlier, she could hear that this time it was definitely not a trick, but a real certainty...

But where was the reason?

"Of course."

Chen Yan raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Do you know what a control group is?"

He paused, then continued: "When you expressed disdain for the Xiao imperial clan from the bottom of your heart, I was already incomparably certain!"

There is no doubt that the spies and death warriors sent out like this must have undergone professional training and must be desensitized to their own master...

But that's not necessarily the case for enemy countries!

"Control group?"

Yan Qingwu repeated this term she had never heard of and sneered: "There are quite a few people in this world who disdain the Xiao imperial clan!"

The Xiao imperial clan, content with pleasure, not seeking progress, constant internal fighting...

Isn't it normal for any person of insight to disdain them?

"But you forgot that the forces capable of cultivating death warriors like you are few and far between!"

Chen Yan shook his head, a flash of playfulness crossed his eyes, and he said indifferently: "If not Qi, then Liang..."

"You just excluded the wrong option for me yourself!"

What kind of ordinary death warrior could withstand the improved torture of Mingjing Si?

They must have been cultivated with heavy gold!

And having this capital, there were only two options on the table...

If not one, then the other.

When Zhang Sui had no reaction, the balance in Chen Yan's heart had already tilted toward the Gao Qi Kingdom.

And after getting Yan Qingwu's reaction, he was even more certain that these two death warriors came from the east...

It was highly likely that after failing to swallow the Great Zhou in five wars, the Qi Kingdom chose to change its strategy, trying to disintegrate it from within!

"No wonder Yuwen Hu could reuse you..."

Yan Qingwu sighed and laughed: "You are really not simple!"

"But so what?"

"The people of Chang'an will all think it was done by Zhao Qian!"

What if you see through it?

Their goal had already been achieved anyway...

The easily fooled people would all suspect Zhao Qian, and this old Pillar of State who had been framed would definitely choose to counterattack Yuwen Hu.

But Chen Yan didn't pick up on Yan Qingwu's words; he turned to look at Yin Shizhi, who was waiting on the side, and ordered: "Yin Mirror Master, send someone to find a few good doctors..."

"The kind who are good at conditioning women's bodies!"

"Chen Yan, what kind of insidious trick is this!" Yan Qingwu knew very well that he couldn't possibly be kind-hearted, and he wouldn't be merciful; there must be a problem.

"Hmm?"

Yin Shizhi didn't understand and asked: "Superintendent, what do you mean?"

Not to mention Yan Qingwu, even he, Yin, didn't understand...

What kind of torture was conditioning the body?

"If you don't heal the wounds and condition the body, how can you give birth to children?" Chen Yan patted Yin Shizhi on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

He doesn't have his eyes on this woman, does he?... A strange thought appeared in Yin Shizhi's mind. After careful consideration, he reminded him cautiously: "Superintendent, think twice!"

Before this woman was tortured, her posture was only upper-middle, and now she is covered in blood...

It's a bit too desperate.

"Think twice your head!"

Seeing that Yin Shizhi had misunderstood, Chen Yan rolled his eyes and said with a bit of gnashing teeth: "Go to the suburbs and catch a few refugees and beggars, and let her keep giving birth for them!"

"Until she dies!"

It would be a pity to kill her directly...

It's better to make a contribution to the Great Zhou's fertility KPI!

"Chen Yan, you won't die a good death!" Yan Qingwu instantly understood Chen Yan's intention; it was a double torture of body and mind. Thinking of the dirty beggars and refugees who would crawl on her body and that she would have to give birth to their children, she couldn't help but curse loudly.

"Hiss~"

Yin Shizhi gasped as he imagined the scene.

This desire for revenge is really strong; he almost really thought the Superintendent didn't care about the woman's previous insults!
