The most intelligent general in the world

Chapter 387: Cruel and ruthless, shrewd and calculating

At this time, Zhao Gao appeared.

Zhao Gao told him that he could save Bai Yu, save his brother, at the cost of his life, his body, and even everything he had.

In order to save his brother, Hei Yu didn't have time to think about anything else. He was willing to do anything as long as he could save his brother.

Zhao Gao brought them back to Xianyang and placed Bai Yu on a jade bed made of thousand-year-old cold jade, barely maintaining Bai Yu's weak breath.

Heiyu would occasionally visit Baiyu. More than ten years had passed. Heiyu was already eighteen years old, but Baiyu, lying on the jade bed, still looked like he was seven years old.

Time seemed to stand still for him.

If he couldn't still hear Bai Yu's heartbeat, Hei Yu wouldn't have believed that he was still alive.

Zhao Gao trained Hei Yu to be a top killer, an invisible assassin. No one knows how much Hei Yu has paid to become who he is now, but the thought of saving his brother and waking him up again gives him the motivation to persevere.

Every time he returned from a mission, Heiyu would drag his exhausted and wounded body to Baiyu's side, talking to himself, as if he was telling Baiyu about what he saw and heard on the road and the stories in the tavern.

He was already dead. He had died when he was seventeen.

Now, he was just a walking corpse, a living dead. A year ago, Zhao Gao drained his vitality, and the vitality that contained boundless demonic flames was completely devoured by Zhao Gao.

This is also the source of the strong evil spirit surrounding Zhang Liang when he first met Zhao Gao, the source of the witch who took shape...

Under the rules of the city, Heiyu, who had lost the motivation to survive, should have reached the end. However, Zhao Gao used special technology to maintain a trace of life in his body. Coupled with his obsession with Baiyu, he struggled on the brink of life and death, becoming a half-dead being.

Today, Hei Yu has become a sharp weapon in Zhao Gao's hand, a human-shaped fighting tool.

Heiyu's only hope is to see Baiyu again, to see him open his eyes again, give him a warm smile, and call him softly, "Brother."

So when Hei Yu witnessed Zhang Liang using that life-restoring technology, he was extremely excited and eager to master this technology.

He has little vitality left in his body, and time is running out. He must race against time and not miss any chance to wake Bai Yu up, even if Zhang Liang was once his opponent.

But now, Zhang Liang is no longer an enemy, his younger brother is his bottom line, whoever can wake up Bai Yu can become his ally.

The rain was still falling, constantly hitting Zhang Liang's body, falling and bouncing, finally merging into the earth, flowing into the distance along the texture of the soil.

Zhang Liang and Hei Yu stood in the rain like this, as if they were being baptized. They stood there quietly, motionless.

And Hei Yu's voice was like a lament from the underworld, with a hint of sadness in its calmness. His own fate was spoken so easily, as if he was telling someone else's story.

After telling the story between himself and Bai Yu, Hei Yu raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang could feel the expectation conveyed in those eyes, and their look was no longer as desperate and empty as when they first met.

"Mr. Zhang, as long as you can teach me this technology, I am willing to pay any price. I can tell you everything you want to know, including the information about the mastermind behind the scenes." Hei Yu looked at Zhang Liang and said excitedly.

Zhang Liang did not respond immediately and maintained his original attitude.

After hearing Hei Yu's story, Zhang Liang felt sympathy. If he had not heard the story before, he would have killed Hei Yu without hesitation to prevent future troubles.

But now, knowing Hei Yu's past, it would be difficult for him to remain indifferent unless he had a heart of stone.

He also wanted to help Hei Yu, but he was powerless. Regarding the technology of "life return", Zhang Liang himself was still in the exploration stage and did not have a complete operation method.

He might be able to use it himself, but it might not be that easy to save others.

"Is Zhao Gao the mastermind behind this?" Zhang Liang did not answer Hei Yu's question about technology.

The current priority is to stabilize Heiyu. If he knows that he cannot save Baiyu immediately, given Heiyu's changeable personality, he may act impulsively. If he hurts Qin Zheng, it would be a loss.

Saving Bai Yu cannot be achieved in a short period of time and can only be delayed temporarily.

Zhang Liang was 80% to 90% sure that Zhao Gao was the mastermind behind the scenes before he met Heiyu.

Judging from the current situation, no one can kill Qin Zheng and know his exact location except Zhao Gao.

Moreover, Hei Yu just mentioned that it was Zhao Gao who took them in, which further confirmed Zhang Liang's guess.

"Yes, that's right, Zhao Gao sent me." Hei Yu responded quickly after hearing Zhang Liang's words.

As expected, Zhao Gao had long been interested in killing Qin Zheng. It seemed that we had to find a way to get rid of him first. Zhang Liang thought to himself.

"Mr. Zhang, I can give you everything, including everything I have. No, although I am lifeless now, I have demon blood. I can still maintain my self-awareness for at least ten years. I will definitely be able to help you!"

Seeing that Zhang Liang had not responded to the "life return" for a long time, Hei Yu thought that he was unwilling to help. Yes, such an important technology, how could it be easily handed over to a stranger, not to mention that they were just in a hostile state.

After listening to this, Zhang Liang thought that if he could recruit Heiyu, his power would undoubtedly become stronger.

Zhao Gao's Yin-Yang School is the most difficult of all the schools. If we can place spies in the Yin-Yang School, it will be much easier to act in the future.

"Okay, I can save your brother Bai Yu. The condition is that you break away from Zhao Gao's control and become my assistant. Can you do it?" Zhang Liang's voice echoed in the rainy night.

"Okay, as long as you save Baiyu, I will die without regrets." Heiyu's eyes lit up, but then he thought of something and the excitement disappeared in an instant.

"It's just..." Hei Yu lowered his head slightly, looking a little embarrassed, and hesitated to speak.

"Just what?" Zhang Liang asked.

"But Bai Yu is dying and can only be kept alive by refrigeration equipment. He is in the secret room of the Yin-Yang family, and I cannot betray Zhao Gao." Hei Yu said helplessly.

After listening to this, Zhang Liang fell into deep thought and said nothing.

The rain gradually weakened, the thunder faded away, and the bean-sized raindrops seemed to become smaller, no longer stinging when they fell on my body.

Seeing Zhang Liang's silence, Hei Yu thought that he had given up the plan to save Bai Yu. In fact, what he had just said was equivalent to telling Zhang Liang that he could not escape Zhao Gao's control. How could he be qualified to negotiate with him?

Thinking of this, Hei Yu's heart couldn't help but tighten.

While Hei Yu was worried, Zhang Liang was also thinking. Zhao Gao's move was indeed vicious. Not only did he use Bai Yu's life as a bargaining chip, he also extracted Hei Yu's vitality, making him willing to become a human weapon of the Yin-Yang family, completely losing the possibility of betrayal.

Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao, should we say you are ruthless or shrewd...
