Chapter 224: It Shouldn't Be This Way
In an instant, several crossbow arrows shot out from the small hole under the counter. Hou Qu jumped suddenly, flew over the counter with one kick, and kicked away a few people over there.
He tilted his head and saw a sharp knife on the knife holder over there, inlaid with jade jewelry, and the cold light was very dazzling.
"Ahh He swung the blade and slashed them in two with ease. "You beasts, hand me back!"
At this moment, there was silence all around, and the sound of shouting continued to echo. Suddenly, in all directions, there was a rustling of footsteps, which became softer and softer.
Hou Qu's eyes widened, and there was no one around. Suddenly, a burst of white flowers suddenly floated over, stinging his eyes.
Just in the white mist behind him, a figure sneered. "You kid, how about returning your body today in the way of others?"
Hou Qu looked over there, a petite figure, holding a dagger in his hand, pounced on him. He wore a bronze tiger mask on his face.
"Yikes!" Hou Qu held back the pain and rolled to the side. The sharp dagger slashed his back, and a stream of blood spurted out in an instant.
He gritted his teeth and stood up, the big knife whirring and spinning. The figure quickly disappeared and disappeared again.
Hou Qu tilted his ears sideways, listening to the sounds around him, not knowing where he came from. Suddenly, he pulled his legs and ran towards the door.
The smoke faded away, leaving only the cold moonlight. Just as Hou Qu was about to run out of the door, his foot slipped and he tripped over a leather rope.
He fell heavily to the ground, and the figure behind him pounced again. Heading towards his waist, he lifted the dagger and stabbed it towards the acupuncture point.
Hou Qu felt this strength, with a sense of ingenuity. I felt a tingling in my back, and with a fist blow, the mask fell off suddenly.
"It's you!" The two looked at each other, staring at each other in the moonlight. The petite body threw the dagger down and walked forward.
That beautiful face was very beautiful, except for a long scar on the forehead. "Little junior sister, I didn't expect you to be here."
The woman smiled wryly. "I was already dead, but I didn't expect that, eldest brother, you are still alive, I am Hou Rufeng, what a blessing I have cultivated in many lifetimes."
Hou Qu hurriedly pulled her and hid in a secluded place outside the door. "Senior sister, if that's the case, let's go back to the capital, and stay away from this person's pursuit."
The woman laughed. "King Ling kidnapped me for the past few years, just to play with me and use me, but like this, I can't leave easily."
Hearing this, Hou Qu was also anxious. "It's just Senior Brother Xiong, he's still stuck there, and he can't come out, so it's good that I can save him back."
The woman took him to the courtyard behind him, and brought a gray-black pigeon. "This dark line, it's time to repay that person."
Hou Qu hugged the pigeon, and his heart was pounding. "No, as a senior brother, I can't let you go to the fire pit, don't go back."
But the woman jumped onto the eaves, and disappeared in an instant. Only Hou Qu was left alone, staying there in a daze.
Just as he walked out of the pawnshop, Liu Yichen walked over gently from behind. "Brother, I didn't expect you to have such courage to break into here."
Hou Qu turned around and looked at him, not knowing how to answer, and after a long time, he squeezed out a smile from his face.
"I don't have any other skills, but I'm bold." At this time, Song Zhiyao also followed.
Song Zhiyao came to the side of Hou Qu, lightly opened her lips, and smiled slightly. "This pawnshop, we have been eyeing it for a long time, what a coincidence at this time."
Hou Qu let out a long sigh and hugged the pigeon tightly. "Brother Huang, the clever calculation, the little admiration." Walked on again.
Liu Yichen looked at the pigeon inside and said. "We also contacted her through the people in the house, and when the time is right, she will pass on the news."
Seeing that there was no one around, they hurried back to their secret residence. At the same time, Hou Rufeng returned to Shui Tan Palace and visited King Ling again.
King Ling looked at her with a presumptuous look on his face and smiled teasingly. "It's a flower when you enter the door, and a knife when you go out, you little girl, it's really hard to find."
Hou Rufeng squeezed out a charming smile, and his slender and beautiful body fell on King Ling's shoulder, sticking softly and squirming.
King Ling was aroused by such softness and charm. "Accompany this king to have a good drink, and then relax your muscles and bones comfortably, haha."
The two hugged each other and made love for a long time. The next morning, King Ling remembered that Xiong Li was still hanging on top of the water prison.
The corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he said disdainfully. "Such a dog thing, I don't know how long it can last, let this king go and see what he looks like."
King Ling put on his clothes and ran to the water prison. With a creak, the door opened, and in front of him was a haggard face, and a stench came from the water.
King Ling lowered his head, looked at the white bones in the water, and smiled. "You kid, the crocodiles have eaten clean, and you're not dead yet."
Xiong Li's mind was confused, and he barely raised his eyelids. "Take him down." The guards pulled the rope hard.
The ropes rubbed against his muscles, pricking his nerves. After a short while, Xiong Li was thrown down and tied with a rough rope.
"You kid, you know what life and death are, right?" King Ling stretched out his palm and flicked Xiong Li's forehead vigorously, making a crisp sound of bells.
"Adult, the little one has always known that it's just me, wandering around outside, just for money, and I even touched a gold ring."
Xiong Li tried his best to deliberately divert the topic. "It's just an adult, and the small one is a dog, where it smells of silver, where is it going."
While waiting like the wind, I stayed there, anxious. "I just hope that the little junior brother can hold on, if there is another incident, it will be really dangerous."
King Ling looked at his face and sneered. "Your kid hangs this day, and it's still like this, it's really easy to change, and it's hard to change."
Then he pulled over an iron stove, and the charcoal fire inside was simmering hot, and black and white soot floated out there, spraying Xiong Li's body.
King Ling held a pair of pliers in his hand and a piece of white silver. "You kid, don't you want to smell the silver, come and taste it."
The silver was roasted to white by the fire. "Turn his back around." The two people behind pressed the bear force hard and pressed it against the cold wall.
King Ling smirked, pinched the silver vigorously, and pressed it on his back. With a thud, a stream of water vapor spurted out, carrying flesh and blood.
Xiong Li felt the heat and wanted to roast himself. "Ahh He finally couldn't hold it anymore, sweat was running down his head, and his mouth was open.
King Ling wiped it a few times harder, and threw it off together with blood, skin and flesh, revealing Bai Huahua's bones.
The sharp pain stimulated Xiong Li, and his head kept shaking. "You thing, finally screaming, it's not made of iron."
Then he ordered the rest of his attendants to pour coarse salt into the water and stir it well. "This king will disinfect you, but don't get sores and worms."
The salt gravel, stinging Xiong Li's skin heavily, connected to the remaining nerves, was almost pulled off. Xiong Li's legs and stomach hurt, and he kept spinning his tendons.
Seeing him like that, King Ling threw him off the wall with force. "Lord Wang, a small move, I went to the county office, but I didn't see anything."
Xiong Li continued. "It's just that rockery, I've never seen such a beautiful stone, the carving is really beautiful, and the plaque ......"
That coercive pressure, so strong. Xiong Li can only have one ride, and if he doesn't have one, he will delay it later. "You're funny."
Because of these contents, it can be said that they are useless to King Ling, but they are said vividly, and they are indeed exactly what he knows.
"Avoid the important and take it lightly, and it will not end well." Then, in the palm of his hand, King Ling turned the pliers into his tongue and twisted his teeth.
With a click, another front tooth shattered, splitting into several pieces. Then King Ling struggled forward again, stabbing into the wounded gum.
In this way, the nerves of the entire gum were writhed together with the ones on the face. "Lord Wang, the little one has said everything, spare me ......"
While waiting like the wind, he hurriedly pulled King Ling to persuade. "Lord Wang, this is good, this kid will live in peace, let him rest for a while."
Listening to Hou Rufeng's words, the beautiful and soft cheeks were attached to King Ling again. "With this kid, it's better to go back to the slave family and be happy for a while."
King Ling's face was red and his heart was beating, and his blood was swollen. "You kid, even if you have a hard mouth like this, it's useless, and you will inevitably be tortured eighteen times."
The two men held hands and went back. The guards dragged him together into another closed, cramped room.
It was full of wriggling ants that covered the entire floor. "Stop here and keep moving, and you'll be miserable."
Those guards teased Xiong Li again. The iron door was slammed shut, and the ants behind it gnawed on the wounded flesh, constantly digging into the wound.
"It hurts me." Xiong Li gritted his teeth, those things seemed to have entered his body, constantly moving, and after a while, he fainted.
Over there, King Ling hugged Hou Rufeng, and the two of them continued to drink wine and sing. Soon, King Ling's drunken eyes were hazy, and he gently pressed against her.
"Wait until this king spits out the fog and enters the heavenly court, so that he will make you his mother." With that, he stretched out his fingers and kneaded his face vigorously.
The two men smiled softly and hugged each other. "Lord Wang, naturally, the little woman is really flattered, but I'm afraid that she won't be worthy of the king."
After a while, the two of them were intoxicated and lay on the sidelines. King Ling waved his hand and said. "Go over there, this kid should die."
Those attendants, pulling King Ling, walked forward slowly. Hou Rufeng squinted his eyes and went there, and took out a pigeon from a gap.
The dove fluttered its wings and flew into the distant sky. She smiled softly, brushed her hair, and headed out into the room.
King Ling opened the door at this time, and looked at Xiong Li lying on the ground, which was already full of small scars that had been bitten by ants.
He looked at the face and kicked it to the side. "You kid, get up happily, this king will reward you with a mouthful of dog food and give you a kid to eat."
Hearing this, Xiong Li slowly raised his head, his eyes hooked. With saliva in his mouth, he didn't say anything, just smirked.
King Ling threw out a moldy dough cake from his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. "You dog, you don't know how to lift, it's very funny."
Xiong Li knelt on the ground and said in a daze. "Lord, boy, what do you know? Everything that should be said, naturally the small ones have said. ”
The guards, with sticks, beat them together. There was a snapping sound. "You thing, this ant bite is comfortable, do you want to do it again?"
The ants, from inside the wound, secreted a stream of mucus. The sour smell stuck to it and went down the hairs.
After a long time, Xiong Li was at a loss, just squatted back and sat heavily on the ground. "Lord Wang, otherwise it's still the same sentence, give the little one a pleasure."
King Ling looked over there, Xiong Li was no longer human, the cold moonlight shone on his face, and his cheeks were shriveled, like a skeleton that had not rotted.
"I really dare to speak, let him have an upside-down King Kong." A few guards over there, grabbing Xiong Li's hands and feet, went up and split their legs.
Xiong Li's head was down, and his cheeks were flushed with blood. With both hands struggling to prop himself up, the guards pulled him while covering their noses.
