"Ahh

"Spare your life, Your Majesty!" came a heart-rending cry for mercy from the hidden depths of the back garden of the palace.

In a secret room hidden in the depths of the winding path, Tang Yunzhao's face was gloomy, his eyes stared at the maid hanging on the torture rack like a poisonous tongue without any trace of warmth, and asked coldly: "Say, who sent you?"

The scarred maid was mercilessly tortured all over her body, crying heartbreakingly, and shouting hoarsely: "Your Majesty, I really don't know!"

"Every time they came to tell me to do something, they wore black clothes and masked their faces. The maid cried sadly, "There is a person with a truncated palm for the first time, it is my mother's palm, your majesty!"

The maid continued to say miserably: "I really can't, so I was forced to do those things, the emperor, I have a cheap life, it is not a pity to die, I beg the ancestors to have mercy on the slave and maid family, only the slave and maid have a daughter, and I have been sent to the palace to serve since I was a child, I am willing to bow to the law, I hope that the emperor will spare the slave and maid family!"

After the maid finished speaking, she closed her eyes with a resolute expression, intending to wait for the next round of harsher interrogation.

Tang Yunzhao's gloomy face flashed a trace of unbearability, and he asked coldly, "You really don't know?"

The maid just cried silently and didn't say a word.

Tang Yunzhao snorted coldly, waved his cloud sleeves, and turned to leave.

"And in the end, I am torturing this slut, going down to the women's prison, carefully letting the cell boss take care of it, and then severely punish the main culprit when I get it!"

Tang Yunzhao's tone was surprisingly soft.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Slave Order!" the two strong men with meaty faces knelt down and replied loudly.

Walking out of the secret room, Tang Yunzhao paced back and forth in the back garden, restless, thinking about the people and things that might be involved behind him.

After wandering for about an hour, he finally had no clue, and as a last resort, he returned to the dormitory.

Yang Chun was resting his arms with his head resting under the table, when he heard the sound of footsteps, he slowly raised his head and asked in a low voice, "How is it?

Tang Yunzhao shook his head, and then told her the results of the interrogation.

"Hey, this kid is also a hard-working person!" Yang Chun got up and gently stroked his bulging belly, "Husband, is it okay to spare her life?" ”

Tang Yunzhao gently went over to support her, and said softly: "According to what you said, it is useless to kill her anyway, I will send someone to protect her parents, and then slowly pry her mouth open." ”

"Hmm!" Yang Chun snuggled his head against his chest, and the two stood silently.

The autumn wind is bleak, the sycamore in the back garden is golden, the Xishan Royal Hunting Ground is also a deer fat goose flying, and the annual autumn hunting of the Great Cloud Country is also in full swing.

The annual autumn hunt is also a diplomatic friendship between Persia and Dayun, when the Persian State will send envoys, bring a small team of royal guards, and send gifts to the Dayun Kingdom to pay tribute.

The two teams of cavalry rode horses and galloped, each in the military costumes of Dayun and Persia, led by Tang Yunzhao and the bearded Persian envoy.

Originally, the soldiers of the two countries were competing with each other, and they both took out their housekeeping skills to chase and hunt wild animals. It's a pity that the animals in the Xishan Hunting Ground died one after another under the arrows of the soldiers of the two armies.

When Tang Yunzhao was shooting a deer, a big white-fronted tiger suddenly came out of the chaotic forest, startling the horse and almost knocking him off the horse.

"Your Majesty!" the leading general of the Praetorian Guard broke out in a cold sweat, shouted, and hurriedly drove his horse to escort him.

The tiger roared and pounced, and a sharp arrow flew from the flank, which could shoot the tiger's attack, and the two teams of men and horses hurried to protect it.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the tiger turned around and fled to the deep mountains and old forests, so anxious that Tang Yunzhao's heart was on fire, and he chased after him.

"Leave me alone! I'm fine! Shoot this evil animal!" Tang Yunzhao shouted, this beast was simply terrifying, if it weren't for the guards coming in time, I am afraid he would have been reduced to eating in his mouth.

So the two teams of men and horses drove the tiger to chase the old forest.

Tang Yunzhao saw the right time, and an arrow shot out, piercing the eye through the back of the tiger's head, and the tiger fell in response to the situation and died at that time.

"The emperor is so strong!" said the bearded Persian envoy in half-baked Dayun Chinese.

Indeed, it is indeed Tang Yunzhao who was born heroic. Such a white-fronted tiger often troubles the border of the Great Cloud Country from time to time, and the local government often mobilizes a large amount of people's power but cannot be exterminated, Tang Yunzhao's arm strength can be seen.

"Your Majesty, what should you do with this brute?" the two armies of the Great Cloud Praetorian Guard ordered the soldiers to resist the tiger's corpse and wait for instructions.

"Peel the skin for blood. Boil the tiger skin and hand it over to the envoys as a return gift!" Tang Yunzhao smiled heartily, "Mix the tiger blood with the imperial wine in the palace, and hold a bonfire dinner in Xishan tonight, I want to drink the bitter drink of the warriors of the two armies." ”

When the Persian envoy heard this, he also held his beard and laughed: "This is very good! My ancestors are on safari, and they already like flesh and blood more than rice, and it is really a blessing for our generation to be able to drink tiger blood with the Holy Monarch in the golden night!"

The Persian envoy pretended to learn the etiquette of the Central Plains and bowed to Tang Yunzhao on the horse.

Tang Yunzhao laughed, beckoned everyone to dismount, set up a bonfire, and roasted the prey, he also put down the posture of the monarch at this moment, like a veteran who has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, holding a deer leg in one hand, roasting it half-cooked and putting it in his mouth to chew.

A sergeant had already sent the mixed tiger blood wine, Tang Yunzhao and the Persian envoys sat down and drank wine in large gulps, eating large pieces of meat, and the Persian envoys exclaimed with joy.

"Holy Monarch, is the gift of our attack still in line with the holy will?" asked the drunken Persian envoy?

"But!" Tang Yunzhao laughed, "You two countries are not in these mere gifts, and the peace and tranquility between the two countries is a great blessing for the people of the two countries!"

"Yes, with such a holy king as a person who values wealth and righteousness, the people of our two countries can afford to live in peace!" the Persian envoy respectfully offered a bowl of wine.

Tang Yunzhao also drank it all heartily, but then frowned slightly, and asked a little unpleasantly: "Envoy, do you know Asha's whereabouts?"

When the envoy heard this, he was half awake from the wine, and his color was correct, and he told him about the disappearance of Wei Luo and Asha.

"The queen is pregnant at this time, it is not appropriate to let her be angry, you should keep this news closely!" Tang Yunzhao told solemnly.

"The Holy Monarch's order, the foreign minister dares to disobey the order!" the envoy also replied with a salute.

At this time, there was also a sergeant's loud shout.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

It turned out that because Yang Chun was pregnant, when the banquet was on fire, Tang Yunzhao ordered someone to notify her to come.

Yang Chun slowly stepped out of the carriage with the support of the palace maid, and after meeting the Persian envoys according to the national courtesy, they sat down according to the etiquette of the guests and hosts.

As soon as she sat down, she began to look around, as if looking for something.

"Your Excellency, do you know where Asha has gone?" Yang Chun really asked.

"This..."The envoy was a little embarrassed, hesitant, and looked at Tang Yunzhao with a dodgy gaze.

Tang Yunzhao nodded secretly.

The envoy pursed his lips, thinking back to Tang Yunzhao's previous explanation.
