Although Gao Dehong is good at sycophancy, he is not exactly a straw bag, at least his speculation this time still has some truth. Lin Nan pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "But this matter is based on our guesses, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a conclusion, or I will find out tomorrow when I ask my father and emperor in person." ”

"That's right, that's how it should be, the emperor is wise, decisive and shrewd, and he will definitely be able to find out. Gao Dehong was busy and patted his ass again.

After hugging his fists and saying goodbye to him, Lin Nan turned around and entered the inner hall, comforted the girls to sleep, and then closed his clothes and squinted on the collapse.

When he woke up, it was already dawn, and after hurriedly freshening up and changing clothes, Lin Nan came to the upper study to wait. In less than half an hour, Yang Guang retreated down, saw Lin Nan smiled faintly, and asked, "Yu'er, I heard that you killed a few assassins last night?"

"Yes. Lin Nan asked for peace and said, "Father's Holy Body is healthy, and his sons have indeed killed a few assassins." ”

"Hmm. Yang Guang nodded and said, "Although you know some kung fu, as a prince, don't do this risky thing in the future." ”

"Yes" Lin Nan replied respectfully: "The son was reckless yesterday, and asked his father to surrender his guilt." ”

Yang Guang's face was kind, and he didn't blame him at all, but asked with a smile: "Since you fought with that assassin, do you remember clearly what tricks they used?"

When Lin Nan saw him asking, he knew that Yang Guang's martial arts were good and he couldn't talk nonsense, so he demonstrated the scene of the fight with the girl yesterday, but when it came to the last sword, the words changed to say that it stabbed the assassin in the chest and killed him.

Yang Guang listened to him. Nodding slightly, he was silent thoughtfully for a while, then stood up from behind, looked at him and said, "Yu'er, can you tell that these assassins are using the martial arts set there?"

Lin Nan shook his head and said, "Erchen doesn't know, I just think that her swordsmanship is more than feminine but her strength is insufficient, which is far from her father's flying immortal swordsmanship." I wanted to please these words, but unexpectedly, Yang Guang shook his head and said: "You are still young, and you don't know much about the various martial arts, in fact, her set of swordsmanship is by no means general, it's just that the assassin is not good at practicing and has only learned some skin." ”

When Lin Nan heard him say this, he became interested for a while, only to hear Yang Guang and continued: "Just look at your description, this assassin should be the golden snake swordsmanship of the Nanchen Qin family, this set of swordsmanship was originally created by the famous general Chen Baxian of Nanchen, so that it is like a poisonous snake, once it fights with it, it will not die, but when this sword book is passed into the hands of the Qin family, half of the book is missing, and only those feminine and entangled foreplay are left, but they lose the ruthless afterplay, and the power is not strong." ”

"I see, that's ......" Lin Nan suddenly realized, only then did he understand why the woman's swordsmanship was more feminine but not strong enough, but at the same time, he thought of Nanchen Qin's family and said: "Since my father knows that this is the swordsmanship of Nanchen Qin's family, then I am afraid that this matter of entering the palace and assassinating Nan Chen will not be able to escape." ”

"Alas......" Yang Guang shook his head and sighed lightly when he heard this, and then Lin Nan followed and said: "Father, don't worry too much, the palace guards captured two thieves yesterday, if we can ask some reasons from the mouths of the two of them, we can come here to question Nan Chen."

"Hmm. Yang Guang stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "It's okay, it's just that those assassins are very hard-mouthed, and when I heard Qin Huaiyu come to report that they were tortured and beaten all night, these two assassins have been silent, so it can be seen that they are also hard-boned, and I am afraid that they may not be able to ask something." ”

"Hehe...... Lin Nanyin smiled and said, "Erchen has some methods, maybe he can tell these thieves to say something." He said this, but in his heart he was thinking of something to get out of the girl's mouth.

Unexpectedly, Yang Guang laughed when he heard it. nodded again and again: "Okay, then I will ask Qin Huaiyu to take you to the heavenly prison to meet these thieves." ”

……

Qin Huaiyu is the head of the palace guards, and he is very respectful when he sees Lin Nan on weekdays, so the relationship between the two is not bad. Along the way to the heavenly prison and entering along the gate, Qin Huaiyu whispered in Lin Nan's ear: "These two anti-thieves have very hard mouths, they have already broken two leather whips, and they have also been punished, but they just don't move, and now they only have half a life left." ”

Lin Nan nodded and entered the inner prison.

I saw two men tied to the torture rack, bare-chested, and the flesh and blood had been beaten, both of them were young people about twenty years old, but because their hair was scattered and hung down to cover their faces, they couldn't see their faces clearly.

"It's really two men. Lin Nan stepped forward as he spoke, took the whip and picked up the chin of one of the thieves, only to see that he looked good, his skin and flesh were white, his sword eyebrows were starry, but his face was scarred and bloodless, and he looked a little dead. When I looked at the other one again, I saw that he was born with dark skin, thick lips and thick eyebrows, but his eyes were wide open without fear.

"Wake them up. Lin Nan turned around and instructed the two guards to pick up a bucket of cold water and splash it on their faces.

All of a sudden, the two of them were stirred by the cold water, and they suddenly sobered up a lot. The black-faced man saw that the person who came to the trial was actually a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, so he scolded sharply: "Little rabbit cub, if you want to kill, you will kill, if Lao Tzu frowns, he will not be a good man!"

Seeing that the guard next to him dared to insult the prince, he picked up the whip and whipped it over, and whipped it four times in a row, but the man clenched his teeth and made no sound, at this time Lin Nan raised his hand to stop the guard's whipping, and looked at the man with a cold snort and said: "I know you want to die, but before you ask the mastermind behind the scenes, it is not so easy to be afraid of death." ”

The black-faced man snorted coldly and didn't speak, he was sure that the young man in front of him wouldn't play any new tricks, having already suffered all kinds of punishments. Unexpectedly, at this time, Lin Nan suddenly looked at Qin Huaiyu with a sneer and asked, "By the way, I don't know if General Qin has heard of 'Renbi'." ”

"Renyi?" Qin Huaiyu frowned slightly, he hadn't read much martial arts since he was a child, so he didn't know much about this person. But there are guards around who have read the historical records, and they still remember this person vividly.

The black-faced man seemed to have heard of someone, and he still looked like an iron bone, but the white man next to him couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and then his whole body trembled a little.

Lin Nan had already snooped into the different reactions of the two, and then smiled quietly: "Biao, pig also." This person is a game that turns people into pigs. Speaking of the word game, he deliberately approached the two of them a little. Said carefully: "To put it bluntly, it is to chop off the limbs and gouge out the eyes." Copper juice is poured into the ears to make them deaf, then dark medicine is poured into the throat to cut off the tongue to make it unable to speak, and finally thrown into the pigsty to become a living human being. ”

When he said this, he had a smile on his face, but every word was very clear, the white man's face was dark and blue when he heard it, his body trembled, and cold sweat soaked his back, even the black-faced man couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he trembled a little when he looked at Lin Nan: "You dare to ......"

"Why don't you dare?" Lin Nan turned to look at Qin Huaiyu and said, "General Qin thinks this method is interesting?"

Qin Huaiyu was born in the army, although he had not been in the battle for a long time, but he also had a lot of blood on his hands, but when he heard about this person's approach, he still couldn't help but feel a little palpitations, this approach was too cruel, I don't know how Lin Nan came up with it, and he couldn't help but say after thinking about it: "Your Highness." Isn't it a little ...... to do this" Before he finished speaking, Lin Nan shook his head and said, "No, no, no, this is just a small game, and the fun is still to come." ”

Hearing this, all the guards and Qin Huaiyu felt chills all over their bodies. If such cruel torture is also a small game. The rest of the story is unimaginable. In fact, even Lin Nan himself felt a little disgusting in his heart, but in order to get the confession of the two, he could only hold back his mood and smile.

The black-faced man didn't expect that this young man was so vicious at such a young age, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Thinking that I was about to become a human being. Even the strongest tough guy can't help but be a little afraid, and Lin Nan has already seen the two of them in his eyes, only to see that although the black-faced man has shown fear, he may not be able to convince for a while, while the white man next to him is already trembling with fright, his face is blue, and he should be able to get something out of his mouth.

"Someone!" Lin Nan gave an order, and the two guards came out: "Here!"

"Drag this thief down and become an adult first!" Lin Nan pointed to the white man, and the two of them responded, and stepped forward to untie him.

"No, no, I don't want to be a human being, you can kill me!" the white man shouted hoarsely, and the guards present couldn't help frowning at him, and their hearts trembled at the thought of him as an adult.

At this time, I heard the black-faced man shouting: "The big husband should stand up to the sky and the earth in life, and die in death, what are you afraid of! We will still be a good man in 18 years!"

"It's been eighteen years!" Lin Nan laughed, and took the two guards to escort the white man out, while Qin Huaiyu turned his eyes to look at the black-faced man, waved his hand and said, "Give me the next fight!"

……

Miao Miao cigarette rose from the furnace, this is the spiced Long Yan incense, so it smells a little jasmine.

The hall is richly furnished, with some famous paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls around it, many antique vases on the shelves, and a corrugated carpet at the entrance to the front of the hall, which seems to have just been cleaned without a trace of dust.

Lin Nan held a folding fan in his hand and sat on a carved mahogany chair with a gentle rock. Opposite him, sat a man in white, his face was full of scars, but his white skin was still full of scholarly spirit. It's just that he is just barely sitting on the chair now, his face is a little pale, and he doesn't know where to put his hands, especially the pair of godless eyes, which can't see the slightest light.

Lin Nan closed the folding fan, and the man in white suddenly trembled, and almost fell to the ground. He looked like a new son-in-law, but with a more frightened look on his face.

"A practitioner is a junjie, Guo Gongzi is a scholar, don't you even understand this truth?" Lin Nan looked at the man with a calm face, but there were some scholars who were moody and invisible.

The man surnamed Guo raised his eyes and looked at Lin Nan, and said resignedly: "Thank you Your Highness for not killing you, Qingyun should repay him by forming a grass ring." ”

Lin Nan snorted coldly in his heart when he heard this, this kind of villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death is the most shameful, but he still has to ask him some things for the time being, so he can only pretend to smile and say: "Guo Gongzi is serious, you can abandon the darkness and submit to my Great Sui, it is really the luck of the Great Sui." ”

"I'm ashamed. Ashamed, His Highness killed the villain. The man clenched his fists, but his heart went up and down, not knowing if what Lin Nankou said about the pardon was true.

How could Lin Nan not know what he meant, in fact, this Guo Qingyun was not a greedy person who was afraid of death, he still had some backbone, but he could bear the pain of ordinary flesh and skin. But the punishment of that person was really too cruel, so when he was shocked, of course, some of the backbone was gone. Listening to Lin Nan say that he could avoid death, he aroused the hope of life, and he became a complete rat who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Guo Gongzi rest assured, as long as you are willing to tell the mastermind behind the scenes, I will play the emperor and save you from death. Lin Nan gave him another reassurance, Guo Qingyun hurriedly thanked him again and again, and then began to tell the story.

It turned out that Guo Qingyun and the other twenty-two people who entered the palace were not from Nan Chen, but members of the Red Lotus Sect, a cult organization lurking in the territory of the Great Sui. The Red Lotus Sect takes the anti-Sui as its own responsibility, and the church calls for the dead, although there are not many members, but all of them are elites, but although they are not from Nanchen, their leader Yang You is the anti-thief of the Great Sui, and now he is ordered by the Nanchen royal family, and the purpose of their trip is not to assassinate the emperor, but to steal something - the jade seal of the country.

The jade seal of the country is the seal passed down by the emperors of the past dynasties, and it is said that it was engraved by the order of Qin Shi Huang. It has a radius of four inches. Shangniu Jiao Wulong, the front is engraved with the eight seal characters of Li Si's book "Ordered by the Heavens, Both Shou Yongchang", as a token of "Imperial Power Divinely Granted, Orthodox and Legitimate". The emperors of the successive dynasties have taken this seal as a symbol, and they are like a treasure and an important weapon of the country. If you get it, it symbolizes that it is "ordered by the sky", and if you lose it, it shows that its "qi has been exhausted", which prompts those who want to seek great treasures to compete for each other. And this seal was also passed on to the Great Sui after several changes of ownership.

Lin Nan already understood the whole story after listening to his words, but when he asked where Yang You was now, Guo Qingyun didn't know either. The Red Lotus Sect is an extremely tight-knit organization, and the sect leader Yang You rarely shows up, and many instructions are conveyed by the Dharma Protector in the sect. And the Red Lotus Sect has a total of four protectors, but even these four people Guo Wuchang have never seen the true face of Lushan, just because every time they come to convey a message, they are all red-clothed and do not show any face, so they can't see their faces at all, the only thing that can be sure is that these four protectors are not men, as for the rest, I don't know at all.
