This night, many people did not sleep.

For example, the old farmer's family, the Northern Wei sergeant in mighty armor, the leader of this group of sergeants who were extremely feared, and the Confucian who seemed to be weak and handsome, although the reasons for their sleepless nights were very different, they were all disturbed by the constant torture screams coming from the camp, or their hearts were pounding, or they were cold, and this coldness was even more cold than this frost!

The person who was beaten and tortured overnight was Shen Yu!

The sky is getting brighter, all the noise and noise finally comes to an end at this moment, and the interrogation and torture also stops.

The methods of interrogating enemy spies in the barracks are no worse than those in the prison of the Criminal Department, and in this one night, Shen Yu confessed......

After the interrogation sergeant sorted out Shen Yu's confession and respectfully delivered it to me, he cautiously retreated out of the camp, I glanced at the confession on the paper, sneered, and then put it aside and ignored it.

After pondering for a moment, he glanced back at the black-clothed figure standing not far from him, and said with a smile:

"Mei, thank you for your secret help this time, you can go back to your lord to return to your life!"

Charm is the Shadow Guard who has been guarding Wan'er's side, the Shadow Guard is a mysterious and little-known organization, their responsibility is to protect their master, and their fate is related to the master's welfare, life and death together!

I know the peculiarity of their identities, and the fact that the charm will appear in front of me is also because Wan'er made him secretly protect me, so I won't ask about things that shouldn't be asked, just as I won't say more about the same things that shouldn't be said.

Mei's figure was submerged in the wide black robe, and even his face was deeply hidden under the robe's black hat, and his voice was a little low, not distinguishing between men and women, let alone mourning, only listening to him:

"Mei was ordered by the Lord to escort the Captain of the Horse all the way to the Chinese army's tent safely. ”

I couldn't help but smile, it seems that this Shadow Guard's temperament is also somewhat similar to Wan'er, and he has a bit of his own stubbornness about what he believes.

I looked at his figure for a moment in a daze, and remembered that I had a few encounters with the charm, but I still don't know whether he is a man or a woman, speaking of which he is still my life-saving benefactor, just because of his special identity, the dragon is gone, so he has never had the opportunity to thank him in person, isn't it the best time now?

It's just that looking at the charm of the character, it seems that he is also a loner and does not want to have many intersections with others.

"Are you worried that Dugu Xin will assassinate me again?"

I deliberately asked like this, and then my eyes fell on Shen Yu's confession, as expected, the so-called mastermind behind Shen Yu's confession was Dugu Xin!

Mei was silent for a moment, listening to the tone of the person in front of him, he didn't seem to be worried that Dugu Xin would harm him again, just in case, it was still necessary to remind him more, and said busily:

"Since Shen Yu has confessed, the mastermind of this assassination is Dugu Xin, I'm afraid that he will do it again if he can't make a plan, and please be careful!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile slightly, looked back at Mei with interest, shook my head, and asked:

"Do you think Dugu Xin is going to kill me?"

The ghost's body was as immobile as a mountain, but he was also stunned by this rhetorical question, and after a moment of silence, he still asked, and said:

"The meaning of the Captain of the Horse, could it be that the assassination of the master envoy this time is not Dugu Xin?"

I heard the disbelief in Mei's words, and even he saw that Dugu Xin was harmful to me, how could he believe that Shen Yu was not the one sent by Dugu Xin to kill me? What's more, Shen Yu had already confessed!

"That's because you don't understand Dugu Xin, he is a self-confident and arrogant person, he disdains to use such assassination methods against me, a weak scholar, but one thing you are not mistaken, Dugu Xin has the intention to kill me, if he wants to use assassination to harm me, I think I will already be more than lucky!"

Hearing this, Mei seemed to be confused, and asked again:

"Since Dugu Xin is harmful to people's hearts, how can the Governor of the Horse conclude that the mastermind behind this is not Dugu Xin?"

The corners of my mouth rose slightly, and I said meaningfully:

"The reason why I conclude that the person who assassinated me is not him, because in some ways, we are all the same kind of people, we all claim to be smart, thinking that we can control everything, including the fate of others, just like playing a game, but smart people have smart people's play, such as killing, samurai killing people is just a knife in hand, head on the ground, but we know well that it is the method of killing people with a knife, so we don't leave a trace of taking people's lives!"

I paused for a moment with ulterior motives, and as a killer, I thought that Mei should be able to fully understand what I was saying, and seeing that he was silent, I continued:

"The smarter the person, the more clever the trick he uses, and for the smarter, this kind of trick is a stupid act made by an unconfident person to prevent trouble! Dugu Xin is an extremely smart person, so he will not send someone to do such a stupid act as assassinating me!"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings seemed to fall into a deathly silence, and the two of them didn't say anything for a long time, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird......

In front of whom to show my scheming side so unabashedly, for me, this is really a rare thing, I have to admit, this is also my side, even if it is rarely revealed, but this is also me, the real me!

After so many years of ups and downs in the realm of intrigue and deceit, I can always live well until now, and I must not just use the word luck to encompass, there are too few lucky people in this world after all, and those who can survive in the troubled times by luck are not at all!

"I said that I and Dugu Xin are the same kind of people, do you think that I am the same as Dugu Xin, both are unkind and unrighteous people?"

I was a little curious about Mei's thoughts, so I threw this question of right and wrong to Mei, wondering if I could hear such an answer from his mouth.

Looking at the handsome boy in front of him who was dressed in majestic official clothes and became more and more majestic and not offensive, Mei felt more and more that the person in front of him was no longer the young man who was a little reckless and willful but also had a pure nature, he became a lot more calm and capable, and even became more and more proficient in the way of power, and involuntarily, it would make people close to him feel a sense of fear that seeped out from within, making people suddenly realize that this was a very dangerous person!

Will this danger one day reach the Lord?

Mei couldn't help but be worried, and in the face of the temptation of the Captain of the Pony, Mei responded without thinking:

"In her heart, she only thinks of the Lord, and there is no right or wrong, good and evil, beautiful and ugly!"

If anyone dares to endanger the Lord, no matter whether the person is good or evil, regardless of right and wrong, the charm will destroy them all!

I could understand the meaning of the charm's words, and even felt his threat, the Shadow Guard existed for the sake of their respective masters, and in order to protect their masters, they could easily give up their own lives, let alone threaten their own masters.

So I can understand the charm, and I don't know whether to envy or regret the idea of the charm of right and wrong, because for a person who can only live in the dark and cannot have himself, these distinctions are burdens that do not need to be had, they only bring pain and never-ending troubles.

But if you give up all this, will there really be no worries and pains?

I couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and saints are unkind, and the people are dogs; heaven and earth are not merciful, they will not be favored because of kindness, and will not let all things operate naturally without interference; saints will not be favored by kindness, and let the people themselves control their own destiny without interference. It can be seen that one's destiny is ultimately the result of one's own choice. What's more, right and wrong, good and evil are inherently equal, they are the two poles of things, and they are mutually reinforcing and mutually restrictive, and there is no absolute dividing line, but the people of the world are trying their best to define them.

When Mei heard this, she was silent.

I turned around and stopped looking at the ghost, only to feel that this body was a little trance-like like in a dream, and there was always a feeling of unreality.

No matter what my fate may be in the future, it is only the result of my own choice!

That's it, that's it......

After a long silence, I said leisurely:

"Thank you!"

This sentence of thanks is not only for this life-saving grace, but also for his unswerving loyalty to Wan'er!

Mei didn't speak, just clenched her fists and saluted back.

I bowed slightly, then waved my hand to signal that the topic was over.

After only a few moments, a sergeant came to report, and General Yang Quan asked to see him. I gestured slightly, and the charmer dodged behind the screen.

......

When Yang Quan entered the account, he knelt down and pleaded guilty, his words were sincere, and he didn't dare to shirk his responsibility, and said:

"Yang Quan, the criminal general, has come to ask the prison army for his guilt, and Yang Quan is willing to be dealt with by military law! It's just that Yang Quan still has one more thing to ask for, begging the prison army, killing people is not too much, give Shen Yu a happy end!"

After speaking, he bowed again.

I pondered for a moment, thinking about how to deal with Yang Quan, thinking that he was still a loyal and righteous person, and he was upright, although he was a little confused, there was nothing wrong with him, but there was no need to treat him to death.

What's more, he has to protect him carefully this way, last night he sacrificed his life to protect him, so he was seriously injured, I still need to consider whether to deal with him strictly, but I didn't expect that he himself was still difficult to protect, but he still took pity on Shen Yu and wanted to ask for a whole corpse for him, this move seems to be pitiful, but it is a little disregard for the overall situation.

Just like Shen Yu, a traitor who committed rebellion and assassinated the prison army, he committed an unjust crime, and he was heinous, and he was to be exterminated and beheaded for public display!

"General Yang is indeed guilty, you don't know the person who knows Shen Yu's matter, you have the crime of negligence, and because of the improper use of people, it is also a dereliction of duty, and you will be punished for the two crimes, and it is difficult for you to protect yourself, and now you are pleading for the sinner, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble, sin and relatives?"

The tone of my questioning was also a little reproachful, and it seemed that there was a hint of a communiqué and a personal vendetta.

Yang Quan couldn't be sure of the true intentions of the overseer in front of him, after all, what he had seen along the way, this high-ranking horse governor had an absurd side, a ruthless side, and a deep side of the city, which was really unpredictable!

And he has been sneering at him along the way, it is difficult to say that this senior supervisor will not take the opportunity to fall into the stone and declare a personal vendetta, if this is the case, then it will not only be his relatives who will be punished for themselves......

But even so, for Yang Quan, there are some things that he knows he can't do, just to be worthy of people's hearts!

"Yang Quan is willing to accept all the blame, willing to bow to the law, and also ask the prison army to see Mingjian, Yang Quan pleaded for Shen Yu, but he just thought of the feelings of his former siblings, and couldn't bear that he was tortured and finally ended up with no corpse, for the sake of Shen Yu who had also fought to kill the enemy for the country and establish meritorious service, Yang Quan begged the prison army to leave Shen Yu with a whole corpse, don't chill the sergeant's heart of killing the enemy and serving the country with blood......"

The corners of my mouth went up, I knew it with affection, and I moved it with reason, it seems that Yang Quan is not a fool who can't see the situation clearly!

After all, this Shen Yu is also Yang Quan's subordinate, and naturally has a deep relationship with Yang Quan's sergeants, this night's interrogation to extract confessions, screaming again and again, heartbreaking, how can these siblings who have lived and died with Shen Yu endure it anymore? Even if they know that Shen Yu has committed a heinous crime, they only dare to pray that Shen Yu will be spared from inhuman torture and leave a whole corpse.

It seems to be pitiful, but in my opinion, I see a layer of meaning......

Yang Quan, are you threatening me?!

"The state has national laws, and the family has family rules, if this prison army insists on condemning Shen Yu and General Yang with national law, what should I do?"

Dead silence was silent......

Yang Quan just kept his head in a pause posture, did not move, and did not answer.

But what happened next seemed to make the best interpretation of Yang Quan's silent silence!

A sergeant hurried into the account to report and said:

"Shen Yu bit his tongue and committed suicide!"

Suddenly, I angrily shook my hand and smashed the things on the table in front of me! 166 Reading Network
