Chapter 173: Torture
Sure enough, after moving out of the name of the queen mother, the expression on the guard at the door was already a little embarrassed, because he was here just now, and he clearly heard the situation reported by the previous close minister to He Rong.
Therefore, now the queen mother, who has been favored, is pregnant again, which is something that these little people can't afford to offend, a little bit worse, isn't it what this eunuch said, to lose his head!
Moreover, he just asked routinely, this eunuch followed He Rong all the way, he must have something to do with He Rong, his small body, this voice, this style, where is the slightest implication with the Qin family, but his attitude is really not very good, so he remembered to stop it, and now it seems that it is indeed a urgent matter, and if he stops it again, he is afraid that he will be guilty, so even if he hits a dirty face under the bad attitude of this eunuch, the captain of the guard also feels that it is better than being punished and responsible for something, so he raised his hand and let the soldiers behind him let go, and said"Since it's the queen's matter, naturally I don't dare to delay, let's go." ”
Hearing this, the eunuch raised his eyes and glanced at him proudly, and then continued to trot all the way in the direction He Rong had passed before.
When the eunuch walked away, Chu Yunsheng walked out of the shadow on the back wall of the stone room, she was still a little hesitant whether to wait for He Rong to return and do it, or to do it now in order not to delay the opportunity, but now it seems that she has to wait.
Because seeing the eunuch's hurried appearance, coupled with what he said just now, Chu Yunsheng guessed that it was most likely that Tang Xuexu had something going on, and he wanted to find He Rong to go back quickly, and it was not the first time that Tang Xuexu was coquettish and stubborn, He Rong could indulge her before, and now he has to indulge her.
Therefore, Chu Yunsheng felt that he would just wait here, and he believed that He Rong would appear at the end of the road behind the West Gate in a short time.
At this time, He Rong was in the interrogation room.
The Imperial Tomb's interrogation chamber was carved out of a dark, damp mountain, and it was more like purgatory than a dark prison.
There was a rancid smell everywhere, and those rats who only dared to hide in the shadows had become more predatory beings here than Zhao Jun, and compared to this, the heart-rending roars that sounded from time to time in the surroundings were even more terrifying to listen to.
He Rong sat on a wicker chair in an interrogation room in the outermost room, and a person was bound with barbed rattan on a wooden stake in front of him, and the person's clothes were soaked with blood, and he couldn't see his original appearance at all, and his hair was wet and sticky because of the cruel punishment, only the eyes were particularly bright in this dark stone room.
"Zhou Tuo. ”
He Rong looked at the inhumanoid person who had been tortured below, with a bit of coldness in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were still smiling: "Do you know why Lone came to see you in person?"
Hearing this, General Zhou Shen, who had just been woken up by a basin of cold water, raised his head and looked at He Rong and said, "Whoever King Zhao wants to see and when he wants to see him, it is naturally your choice, what does it have to do with me?" I just want to know why I was brought here?"
Hearing that the dead duck of the person below had a hard mouth, and he still refused to admit it at this point, the smile on the corner of He Rong's mouth became a little colder, and his fingers rested on the armrest of the rattan chair, knocking again and again.
The air was eerily quiet, except for the ticking sound of beads mixed with cold water and blood from General Zhou's body dripping on the ground.
And those Zhao army guards standing next to him and even General Cao didn't dare to say a word, just waiting for He Rong to make the next decision.
In fact, it was just a respite, but it made those present feel as if several hours had passed.
"You don't even know why you're here, how do we know?"
All the people waited for a long time before they waited for He Rong's words, and this sentence made General Zhou Shen who was present couldn't help but roll his eyes, he sneered and said: "If you want to kill me casually on a crime, why do you want to do this to me like this!"
"Kill you?"
Hearing Zhou Shenjiang's very backbone words, the corners of He Rong's mouth lifted, and the coldness went a little more, but he had two more murderous aura, and only listened to him: "No, Lone will not kill you for the time being, Lone only learned from a recent investigation, Qin Yunjin was very close to you in the past, you said, if she comes to this royal tomb now, will she be the first to save you?"
He Rong's words were understated, but listening to General Zhou's ears, it was like setting off a storm in his mind and heart.
His first reaction was, could it be that the whereabouts of the eldest lady had been exposed?! Or was it all a tricky temptation?
General Zhou is not sure, but he has been by General Qin's side for many years, and he is used to seeing the fighting and deceit on the battlefield, and he has already trained General Zhou's calm temperament, even if he has already set off a storm in his heart at this time, he can still be calm and calm on the surface, and even when He Rong sent his eyes to explore, his eyes were full of hatred and contempt, and he did not see the panic and shock of hearing He Rong's words.
And even so, He Rong's eyes were still firmly locked on General Zhou's body like an eagle falcon.
At this time, the corners of General Zhou's mouth raised slightly, and there was a little softness and worry in his eyes, and he said, "Miss...... As long as she's well, it's more important than anything else. ”
In a word, people can already hear it, and he doesn't know Qin Yunjin's whereabouts at this time.
However, when He Rong asked the sentence just now, General Zhou didn't notice that He Rong was talking about "the former Qin Yunjin", what He Rong meant was the real Qin Yunjin in the past, not Qin Yunjin who was now occupied by Chu Yunsheng.
It's just that this is just He Rong's expression, and he didn't want General Zhou to understand, so General Zhou, who didn't know the inside story, naturally didn't notice it.
After getting such an answer from Zhou Shenjiang, He Rongcai gradually withdrew his gaze from him, and then said coldly: "Lone doesn't believe it, with you people in Lone's hands, she will stand by and watch, Lone at least wants to see her reaction after seeing you." ”
Although he already believed in his heart that General Zhou didn't look like he could lie, and he also felt that it was impossible for Chu Yunsheng to appear in the royal tomb at this time, He Rong still put down this sentence in front of General Zhou, the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, he just wanted to see General Zhou's reaction again.
Hearing this, General Zhou suddenly laughed, and there was a warm smile in his eyes, and then he only listened to him: "Since King Zhao said this, I can rest assured, at least you are still using us as bait to lure the eldest lady to the bait, then it naturally means that the eldest lady is still alive!"
"As long as she lives well, it doesn't matter if she sacrifices all of our Qin family troops, we won't want her to save us!"
As he spoke, General Zhou's eyes had gradually become extremely cold.
At this time, the killing intent in He Rong's eyes on the opposite side gradually faded, and he finally determined that this Zhou Tuo did not know Qin Yunjin's whereabouts.
It seems that all this is a matter of thinking about it too much.
Thinking of this, He Rong suddenly felt bored, he didn't know why he suddenly made this decision to interrogate Zhou Tuo in person, did he want to get news about Chu Yunsheng from him?
Thinking of this, the corners of He Rong's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a mocking arc, and he laughed at himself.
He Rong had already gotten the news he wanted to know, and he couldn't get any useful information, He Rong stood up directly and walked towards the interrogation room, he took a step, and General Cao behind him immediately followed, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, this Zhou Tuo, do you want to stay or kill?"
He Rong didn't even pause, and walked out directly.
Seeing this, General Cao already understood what He Rong meant, he turned his head and made a neck wiping motion to the interrogator who was following him, and then he was about to quickly catch up with He Rong.
At this time, He Rong's body was stunned, and he suddenly turned his head, looked at General Cao and said, "Keep it first." ”
General Cao originally raised his steps to chase after He Rong, but he saw He Rong pause his steps coldly, and almost didn't hit his head, he stopped his steps in a little panic, and then didn't wait to think about He Rong's intention to kill for a while and stay for a while, but hurriedly followed the inquisitor behind him who was about to do it because of the order he had just given and called it off.
Before coming to the interrogation room, He Rong felt extremely bored, and when he walked out of here, he still felt depressed and bored, and this emotion was not only not alleviated, but became more and more vigorous.
He wanted to vent, but couldn't find a way.
At this moment, the eunuch who trotted all the way from the west turns, panted and came to He Rong, and said while bowing: "Report to Your Majesty, Niangniang said that she was not feeling well, her stomach was a little painful, and the imperial doctor had no choice, so she was waiting for Your Majesty to make up her mind." ”
When he said this, the eunuch cautiously raised his eyes from time to time to observe He Rong's reaction.
All of his little tricks were in He Rong's eyes, and he also guessed Tang Xuexu's intentions in an instant.
There will be any stomach ache there, and the imperial doctor can't do anything, but it's just her hypocrisy, and she is thinking of a way to call him back.
Thinking of this, He Rong only felt that the suppressed emotions in his heart were a little more annoying, and he couldn't help but pause when he mentioned the steps he was going to go back, but he didn't want to go back at this time.
However, when his emotions stabilized, reason told him that since Tang Xuexu deliberately arranged this hypocritical drama, and asked this eunuch to observe his complexion, he had to put on a costume on his face.
has already acted with her to this point, and it is not bad for this last paragraph.
Thinking of this, a trace of worry crossed He Rong's eyes, and as soon as his body moved, he stepped forward and kicked the eunuch, and angrily reprimanded: "Why did you only report such an important matter now!"
As he spoke, before the eunuch could get up from the ground, he had already lifted his steps and walked back at some speed.
And although the eunuch was kicked, after he got up, his face was already happy, and he just saw He Rong's expression in his eyes, so now he is just waiting to go back and quietly report to the queen mother to get the reward.
On this side, He Rong walked back with his heart all the way, and when he passed by the West Turns, he didn't notice anything unusual, if it was usual, with his agility, he would definitely feel that the smell of blood flowing in the air at this time was a little stronger, but recently he was upset in his heart, and he was still thinking about his thoughts, so naturally he didn't put his mind on anything else.
Chu Yunsheng hid behind the stone room, watching him walk out of the west turns, and her heart was slightly relieved until it was dark.
At this time, as long as He Rong is not in command here, they have a great chance of winning!
Chu Yunsheng hid his body, waited for another quarter of an hour, and determined that He Rong had most likely returned to Tang Xuexu's gentle township at this time, so he no longer hesitated, and directly sent a signal to Lao Zhao and a few people who were ambushed in the bushes below the city, and then she turned around and took Su Yun and a few people to the bottom of the city.
When he walked down, when he saw the guard before, he was also raising his eyes to look at Chu Yunsheng curiously, and said, "It's so late, it's not time to change guards, what are you doing?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng lowered his head, and then made a gesture to him to whisper.
The man's face was suspicious, but there was still a little vigilance in his eyes, and he didn't immediately walk in front of Chu Yunsheng, and at this time, Chu Yunsheng had already seen a few people from Lao Zhao who were ready to attack not far away, and at this time, there were only a dozen guards in this wave.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng didn't hesitate anymore, just when the guard frowned, and was about to speak, she had already flown in front of him, raised her hand and gave him a knife, and then quickly went to harvest the next person, and at the same time as Chu Yunsheng made a move, several people from Lao Zhao's side also flew in front of him.
Several of them should work together inside and outside, and the few guards in front of them are not enough to see.
After getting rid of the people here as quickly as possible, Lao Zhao called more than a dozen Qin family soldiers upstairs to take the place of the previous wave of Zhao troops.
Chu Yunsheng saw that there was nothing else to do here, everything was ready, and at this time, there was less than a quarter of an hour before Zishi, and there should be no more accidents, so she turned her head to Lao Zhao and Su Yun and said, "You guys guard here first, I want to leave for a while." ”
Hearing this, Lao Zhao and Su Yun were both stunned.
Lao Zhao hadn't thought of where Chu Yunsheng was going, but Su Yun thought of it at the first time, she hurriedly raised her hand to stop Chu Yunsheng's movements and said, "Girl, I'm with you." ”
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng's heart warmed, but he shook his head and said: "You are here with Lao Zhao, this position is very important, there can be no one, I will come when I go, it will be fine." ”
She wanted to take advantage of this quarter of an hour to go to the interrogation room to see if she could rescue General Zhou.
There is one thing He Rong did not guess wrong, whether it was Qin Yunjin in the past or Chu Yunsheng now, she could not ignore the life and death of General Zhou who gave her warmth.
