Chapter 14: Infinite Stakes
Time flies, and three months have passed.
In the past three months, Sikong Yu only took care of his injuries, saying that he was recuperating from his injuries was actually eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating. And the food brought by Sima Miaoyin every day is particularly delicious.
He ate a lot, because he ate a lot, and all his injuries healed very quickly. He always wondered if there were some medicinal herbs added to these dishes, some colorless and tasteless medicinal herbs.
Because he felt that his strength was slowly getting stronger, and the speed at which his true qi flowed in his body was obviously much faster than before.
He looked at the ceiling, his mind wanderingβ
He thought of the assassin named Xu Xing, and he thought of his face, his face was cold, there was no expression on his face, but there was a cold and piercing chill in his eyes, and endless killing intent.
His eyes don't look like human eyes, they look like beasts, like eagles, staring at their targets.
Speaking of the beast, he thought of the black dragon again, and he looked at the tattoo on his navel, and he knew that he must have a very mysterious relationship with the dragon.
The sunlight shone warmly on Sikong Yu's body through the window, and he suddenly heard a voice-
"Hey. β
Sikong Yu knew that Sima Miaoyin was coming, and Sima Miaoyin was carrying a food box in his hand with a smile on his face. The sun shone on his face, making her face look extraordinarily beautiful.
Sima Miaoyin walked up to Sikong Yu, set up a small table for dining on the bed, and took out a plate of golden fragrant fried noodles, a plate of green oily wheat vegetables, a plate of golden and crispy fried chicken nuggets, and a box of watermelon juice from the food box.
Sikong Yu picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, asking while eating, "When will I be discharged from the hospital?"
Sima Miaoyin said: "The doctor said, two weeks." β
Sikong Yu nodded and devoured the fried noodles.
Sima Miaoyin said: "You eat slowly, and no one will rob you." β
As he spoke, he laughed to himself.
Seeing Sima Miaoyin smiling, he also smiled, secretly glad in his heart, it turned out that he was worried that that one would leave a big psychological shadow on him at this time, but now it seems that he has not.
After eating, Sima Miaoyin finished cleaning up the plate and left.
Maybe it's because you're full, maybe it's because the sun is too warm, maybe it's both. Anyway, after Sikong Yu finished eating, he stretched his waist and fell asleep.
Time flies, two weeks have passed.
Today's weather is light rain and turns to heavy rain.
But Sikong Yu's mood was happy and sunny. Because he was finally discharged from the hospital.
During these three months and two weeks, he ate and slept in addition to eating. Except for the occasional toilet and going to the ground, I don't go to the ground at any other time.
And today he was finally discharged from the hospital. He breathed in the fresh air outside the door and listened to the sound of raindrops crashing on the ground. Show a smile.
He felt like his body was several pounds fatter than before he was admitted to the hospital.
Sima Miaoyin stood on the side of the corridor and said, "Congratulations on being discharged from the hospital." β
Sikong Yu smiled and said: "Thanks to you Hongfu, I have finally been discharged from the hospital, and my bones will fall apart after I am discharged." β
Just as Sikong Yu was speaking, Sima Yuchuan, the king of the Yuanlong Empire, walked over. said, "Follow me." β
Sikong Yu nodded and followed, Sima Yuchuan kept walking in front, Sikong Yu kept following behind, and the two of them didn't speak.
They walked all the way, and then there were fewer and fewer people, until at last only the recollection of their footsteps could be heard.
Sikong Yu finally couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"
Sima Yuchuan said: "Dungeon." β
Sikong Yu was taken aback in his heart, but he still didn't speak, just followed silently.
They came to a place where there was a staircase that led to the ground. At this time, the rain has just stopped, and the pavement of the bluestone slab is a little flashy.
At this moment, there is only an old man with gray hair and a slightly hunched back.
But Sikong Yu knew that this old man must be a master, although he couldn't feel any of his breath, but he had this feeling. It is not difficult for a master to hide his aura.
He also knew that there must be many people guarding this place in the shadows, and if someone really regarded this place as a no-man's land, they could come and leave whenever they wanted, then he would definitely die a miserable death.
Sima Miaoyin nodded to the old man and walked down, followed by Sikong Yu.
It was dark inside, and there were burning torches on the walls.
Before they could go inside, they heard a burst of screams from insideβ
"Wronged!"
"Spare your life!"
"It's not me, you ......"
......
These screams were enough to make the battle-hardened men creepy, but there was no fear on the face of Sima Yuchuan.
They walked in, and the screams were louder. There were blood stains on the walls, fresh, bright red blood that had just been sprayed up.
Sikong Yu couldn't hold back any longer, he felt his stomach contract, and he vomited violently.
Sima Yuchuan was not surprised, and there was no displeasure on his face. The others didn't react either.
"First time in a place like this?" asked Sima Yuchuan.
"Yes. Sikong Yu said.
"Slowly you get used to it. Sima Yuchuan said.
Sima Yuchuan walked all the way, and Sikong Yu endured nausea all the way and followed.
They stopped in front of a small cell where their hands were chained, their hair was scattered, and their faces were covered in blood. This person Sikong Yu knows, this person is, Xu Xing.
Sima Yuchuan said: "Open the door." β
The guard opened the door, and Sikong Yu and Sima Yuchuan walked in.
Sima Yuchuan said again: "Wake him up." β
When the guard heard the order, he picked up a bucket of ice water and poured it on his face.
Xu Xing shook his head and yelled, "My surname is Xu." β
Sima Yuchuan said, "What's your name?"
Xu Xing said: "My surname is Xu. β
Sima Yuchuan said, "Who sent you?"
Xu Xing said: "My surname is Xu. β
Sima Yuchuan said: "Do you have any other accomplices?"
Xu Xing said: "My surname is Xu. β
Sima Yuchuan was not angry, but smiled, as if all this was expected by her.
Sima Yuchuan said: "Burn at the stake." β
Sima Yuchuan's voice was not loud, even a little small, and it was very gentle.
But the guard who received the order brought a stove, took out the red-hot charcoal from the stove with tongs, and then pressed it on Xu Xing's already injured body.
I only heard Xu Xing let out a pig-like scream: "Ah!!"
Sima Yuchuan asked again, "What's your name?"
Xu Xing said weakly: "My surname is Xu!"
Sima Yuchuan walked out, and before leaving, he didn't forget to say, "Don't let him die." β
Then Sima Yuchuan walked out of the dungeon, and of course Sikong Yu also walked out.
As soon as he returned to the ground, Sikong Yu couldn't hold back any longer, and his stomach contracted and he vomited suddenly.
As if he hadn't seen it, Sima Yuchuan kept walking forward without looking back.
Sikong Yu didn't care about anything and hurriedly followed, he asked, "Why are you taking me to see this?"
Sima Yuchuan asked, "Who do you think sent him?"
Sikong Yu said: "The Yibo Empire. β
Sima Yuchuan said, "Do you think he is the killer of the Ibo Empire?"
Sikong Yu thought for a while and said, "Yes." β
Sima Yuchuan said, "What do you think of him?"
Sikong Yu said without hesitation: "Very strong, stronger than me." β
His voice was emotionless, but there was a sadness in his eyes.
Sima Yuchuan was silent for a long time before saying, "Then do you want to be stronger than him?"
Sikong Yu said without hesitation: "Yes!"
Sima Yuchuan said, "Keep up." β
Before the words fell, Sima Yuchuan had already spread his body and swept out of the five zhang.
Sikong Yu was dumbfounded, he thought that his speed was not slow, he could at most sweep out of a zhang away in an instant, but it was absolutely impossible to be able to sweep five zhang away.
Sikong Yu had no choice but to make a bitter face and try his best to get better.
He didn't know what it was when he got to a place, and it was quiet, with some bamboo planted on both sides. In front is a wall.
Sikong Yu wanted to ask something, but he still held back.
I saw Sima Yuchuan walking in front of the wall, and there were words in his mouth.
Suddenly, a light flashed from the wall, and then Sima Yuchuan walked in.
Sima Yuchuan, who Sikong Yu only listened to, said, "Come in." β
So Sikong Yu also went in.
After entering, Sikong Yu saw the inner and outer three layers, wooden stakes made of steel. No matter what direction you look, you can't see the end.
But he couldn't see Sima Yuchuan.
"Your Majesty!" shouted Sikong Yu.
"Down with these wooden stakes!"
He heard Sima Yuchuan's voice, but he still couldn't see her person, and the voice seemed to come from heaven.
But as soon as the words fell, the wooden stakes began to move.
The wooden stakes spun rapidly and attacked him.
There were a few times when he couldn't dodge and was hit a few times, and he didn't feel pain, but he felt that the arm was crippled, useless, and useless.
I saw Sikong Yu's figure flying upward, and then made a few consecutive palms in the air.
I only heardβ
"Boom, boom, boom!"
At least twenty or thirty wooden stakes were smashed by him with a few sounds.
But these stakes made of steel are not people, and they have no pain or fear for anyone.
So destroying these twenty or thirty piles does not frighten these piles.
Then Sikong Yu slapped twenty or thirty palms again, and the power of those palms was much more powerful than the palms just now. These twenty or thirty palms also broke two or three hundred wooden stakes.
But the stakes don't seem to have diminished at all.
But the next scene was even more shocking, and it made Sikong Yu speechless.
The stakes actually jumped, yes, just jumped, as if they had thrusters underneath them.
Then they spun in the air at high speed, converging on Sikong Yu.
Sikong Yu felt it, and he felt that the true qi in his body was about to be exhausted.
"Give up, give up, give up......"
He thought, he heard clearly, in his head, a voice talking to him.
But then he thought of his dead parents and the Xu Xing who came to assassinate him.
He suddenly said firmly, "No! I can't give up!"
He concentrated all the remaining strength on his palms, and he tried his best to scavenge the true qi in every aspect of his body, as if he wanted to scavenge the last trace of true qi in his body.
Suddenly, he spun as fast as the stakes, and his two hands spurted out with true qi.
Everything that was swept away by this true qi was reduced to ashes.
This invincible thrill didn't last long, only about five minutes at most.
Five minutes later, an irresistible feeling of exhaustion spread through his body. Suddenly, his eyes flickered and he fell hard.
As he fell, all the wooden stakes dissipated at the same time.
And standing in front of him at this time was the king of the Yuanlong Empire, Sima Yuchuan.
Sima Yuchuan said to himself: "It's not bad." β
Sima Yuchuan said with a smile at Sikong Yu, who was lying on the ground and was unconscious.
