Chapter 353: Unsatisfactory
Gu Chen hated Xiao Yuan deeply, and just wanted to get up and drop with his sword and kill them all to vent the hatred in his heart. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At first, because he remembered that this person was still very useful to Gao Heng and Gu Hanqing, he deliberately showed mercy in every move and did not hurt his life.
But later, he seemed to have forgotten his original intention, and was only bent on revenge, and every sword hit the opponent's vital point, and he had no intention of backing down.
And although Xiao Yuan had long ignored Gu Chen's brotherhood in the past, he still wanted to capture him alive and return to the Tu Ling Division so that he could get the South China Sea Night Pearl for a reward, so he didn't have the heart to kill.
Under this worried retreat, he was finally slashed by Gu Chen in the right shoulder, and even the sword in his hand fell to the ground, losing the ability to resist.
It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly discovered that Gu Chen was in good health, and he was not injured and absconding at all as rumored.
Moreover, since he was robbed by his henchmen, it seems unreasonable that he is the only one left here at this time.
The most important thing is that when he saw himself, the look in his eyes that was completely half surprised showed that everything was premeditated.
When these hindsightful thoughts flashed through his mind one by one, Xiao Yuan seemed to find that he had probably been tricked.
Because he wanted to occupy the night pearl alone, and thought that Gu Chen was injured, he came alone without anyone to help.
Now seeing that the situation is particularly unfavorable for him, just when he wants to retreat to the wall and escape over the wall......
At the same time, Tu Lingsi and Yan Wangfu, who were hiding in the shadows, rushed up in groups, poured out from all directions, and soon surrounded Xiao Yuan in the middle, leaving him with nowhere to escape and could only be captured.
In order to ask about the whereabouts of Cheng Jinzhi as soon as possible, Xiao Yuan was secretly taken back to the Soul Slaughter Division overnight for interrogation after he was arrested.
And Gao Heng and Cen Feng did not break their promise to Gu Chen, and returned his freedom that night as mentioned before.
"I'll let you go today, even if it's worth the merits, but if he lets me see you again in the future, I promise that I will definitely arrest you back to the Spirit Slaughter Division again. ”
These were the words that Cen Feng had warned him before Gu Chen left.
Although it sounded like a casual joke, it made Gu Chen's back dark and heavy, and he soon disappeared into the deep night mist.
And in the dark room of the Soul Slaughter Division, Xiao Yuan was tied to the pillar with his hands behind his back, and there were bright red whip marks on his body, which was enough to be described as skin and flesh.
On the blood-stained cheeks, the sharp eyes were full of strong resentment, and there was a hint of ferocity and hideousness.
He gritted his teeth and shook the chains in his hands, angry cries echoing through the cold stone walls, spreading out rings of piercing eardrums.
"Don't think that you are the Tu Ling Division, and if you are a relative of the emperor, you can arrest people at will! You are now using lynching, and it is best for those who know me to let me go immediately! I said that I don't know, I don't know, I just use people's money to eliminate disasters for others, what prince is not very son, Lao Tzu only knows money!"
Just when everyone thought that there was hope for finding Cheng Jinzhi, Xiao Yuan's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.
And Gao Heng stood in front of Xiao Yuan and stared at him expressionlessly, the whole person seemed to have been immersed in ice water, exuding a compelling cold.
Deep down, the loss and worry are surging, even if his heart is stoic beyond ordinary people, but at this time he feels as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Under the double attack of Tu Lingsi's various punishments and financial temptations, Xiao Yuan still insisted that he knew nothing about the mastermind behind the scenes and Cheng Jinzhi's whereabouts.
If it weren't for the prince's side that he had made sufficient preparations, then another possibility, that is, what he said at the moment, was the truth.
Even if Gao Heng didn't want to believe it, according to Xiao Yuan's personality that he could sell his former brother for money, how could he be so loyal to the prince?
But if you think about it, you can't help but have some doubts in everyone's hearts.
Since the prince sent someone to kidnap Cheng Jinzhi, he would be exposed to Gao Heng sooner or later anyway, why did he go to great lengths and spend money to find people in the rivers and lakes to help?
This is not only a bit redundant, but also too deliberate, full of indescribable eccentricity.
"Okay, I'll just assume that you don't know, but since you're doing things for someone else, how did that person contact you?"
Cen Feng obviously noticed the strangeness in this, so he continued to ask, feeling more and more that this incident did not seem to be as simple as it seemed on the surface.
In other words, the prince's sudden attempt to kidnap Cheng Jinzhi to threaten Gao Heng may have been just a small beginning.
Behind him, it seems that there is still a force hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to peek into its true purpose.
But what is certain is that no matter what he wants to do, he must end up targeting Gao Heng and Yan Wangfu.
"Five days ago, a man suddenly ran to my door and said that his master wanted me to help him tie up Princess Yan, and promised to give me 5,000 taels of silver as a reward after the matter was completed, but the specific time needs to be notified by him. I was afraid of the guards of the Yan Palace, so I didn't directly respond to this matter, but on the night of the Yan Wang's wedding, he passed a message to me, saying that Princess Yan left the palace alone, and asked me to take my brothers to act immediately. I think it's just a trivial matter to catch a woman anyway, so I just took the money to do things and kidnapped her. ”
Xiao Yuan patiently explained, and there was no hint of concealment between the words, only the desire to survive.
"As for the man, his dress and appearance are very ordinary, and I am sure I have never met him. You also know that the more you know about what you do, the more bad it is for those employers, so I didn't ask. After kidnapping the woman, we put her in a carriage parked at the corner of the South Gate, as we were told, and I really don't know who picked her up and took her where! I have said the same thing many times, and you should be satisfied!"
Xiao Yuan almost screamed at the end of his voice, but before he could exert his strength, he tightly twisted the corners of his eyebrows because of the wound on his body, and he breathed a sigh of depression.
"What does the carriage that received the golden branch look like, and what color does it have!"
Listening to Xiao Yuan's words, which had no clues to speak of, Gao Heng, who was originally silent, suddenly raised his voice and rushed forward to choke his neck, making Cen Feng and Gu Hanqing beside him slightly frightened.
"It's just plain indigo, and I can't remember it anymore. The same question, Your Royal Highness King Yan, how many times do you have to ask me! Are you going to drive Lao Tzu crazy!"
Xiao Yuan was obviously taken aback by Gao Heng's actions, although he still had the courage to threaten and shout, but there was a hint of forbearance and fear in his eyes.
"You're lying. Let me ask you again, where is the golden branch?"
Under the dim light, Gao Heng approached Xiao Yuan with a cold air, half of his side face was hidden in the large haze, the words were sharp, and the skeletal fingers increased the strength.
"Believe it or not, this king will kill you right now. ”
