King Hui didn't know that his every move was under the watchful eye of others. He changed into a coarse cloth coat and went to the place where Nalan Jinxiu was hidden.

Mu Li and Ge Feng waited for many days, and finally waited for this day, and they followed behind. King Hui also has masters around him, but the people in the clouds are specially trained, and they will basically not be detected when they follow people.

In order to prevent King Hui's men from counterattacking, they left signals along the way. When An Shi and Liangshan find out that they are no longer in King Hui's Mansion, they will bring people to follow the signal to look for them.

After following King Hui for nearly an hour, he arrived at a temple with little incense. This temple is called Qingshui Temple, just on the edge of Jinling City, the incense is not prosperous, but there are many monks who come and go in the temple.

"These people have kung fu, and they seem to be good at each other. Ge Feng observed a monk carrying water and said.

Mu Li had already roughly observed this temple, it looked plain on the outside, but there was a cave inside. There are about a dozen houses for monks, and each one is spacious enough to accommodate about ten people.

The small Buddha hall where the abbot lives in the backyard has always been guarded by people in turn. Not counting the small novices in the temple, there are more than a dozen monks who are sweeping and chanting in front of them. And those little novices seem to be practicing basic skills, but in fact, everyone's skills are very solid.

"If the county lord is locked up here, it must be in that Buddhist hall. Ge Feng guessed according to his observations, and the result was exactly the same as Mu Li thought.

At this time, King Hui had finished drinking tea, and the abbot also came out of the small Buddha hall to greet him. The abbot was an old monk in the age of the sixtieth year, and he looked kind, and he saluted King Hui and said, "Your Highness, please come with me." ”

King Hui was dressed simply, how could he know his identity if he wasn't an acquaintance? Mu Li thought of King Hui's anger before he went out, and he was very worried, he was really afraid that King Hui would kill the county lord, and he was also afraid that the county lord would suffer.

"Why haven't they arrived yet?" Mu Li's hand clenched into a fist and slammed it against the wall.

Ge Feng had the same worries as him, he frowned and said: "There are so many masters in this temple, even you and I will definitely not be able to save the county lord, and we may still startle the snake, so now we can only wait." ”

Mu Li didn't speak, he really couldn't say a word now. But the thought that she might be locked up here made him feel calm. His only reason now was that he couldn't act rashly, or he might hurt her.

Ge Feng had been with each other for a while when they were in Pingcheng, and they also knew that the county lord and Mu Li had a great relationship. Looking at his current appearance, he is obviously in a hurry.

He was really afraid that if Mu Li rushed out now, it would cause a big deal. He persuaded: "We have endured it for so long, hold on a little longer, and they won't be long in peace." ”

"I understand. Mu Li's voice was hoarse, he had been living every day for the past few days, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and it could be seen that he was suffering.

When King Hui entered the Buddha Hall, someone turned the button on the Buddha statue, and a door appeared behind the Buddha statue. His retinue walked in front, and King Hui walked behind, walking slowly down a dark road and into a stone house.

Nalan Jinxiu in the stone house has been tortured. In the past few days, even if she is no longer tortured to extract confessions, the silver needles that follow the blood in her body have made her miserable.

Days like this seemed endless, and she even thought of death when she was in extreme pain. If you die, you won't feel pain, and you can be gone.

But the two clavicle chains on her collarbone have completely restricted her movements. She was like a waste, and she didn't even have the strength to move her fingers. I don't know what this clavicle chain is made of, the wound has not healed at all, and it is still slowly oozing blood.

King Hye looked at her with a cold look in his eyes. He stretched out his finger and gently ran it across her cheek, as if it was a pity that such a handsome young man would be reduced to such a state.

Nalan Jinxiu felt the fingers on her cheeks, which were very cold, almost not the temperature that a normal person should have. There was no surprise in her heart, a perverted and cruel person like King Hui really shouldn't have a normal person's warm body.

"When the king sees you the way you are, he feels sorry for you. If you had been obedient and obedient at the beginning, you are still a rich idler in Jinling City. It's because you want to disobey the king's will, and now you have ended up like this, have you ever regretted it?"

Nalan Jinxiu slightly touched the corners of her mouth, pulling out an inadvertently obvious smile. She used all her strength to barely say a complete sentence: "I wonder if Your Highness also regrets it?"

King Hui thought it was interesting for her to say this, and his hand had shifted from her cheek to her chin. Touching it over and over again is like stroking a fine piece of jade, and it is like stroking your lover.

His expression was still cold, and the words he uttered were still gloomy: "Young man, it is you who are suffering now, what does this king have to regret." ”

"Of course, Your Highness regrets that he didn't use any other means to make me comply. Nalan Jinxiu's eyes were very calm when he looked at him, and there was no other emotion in it except coldness. For example, resentment, or anger.

King Hui's eyes narrowed: "Such a heavy punishment has not made you speak, what else can make you comply?"

"I have no other advantages as a person, but I can tolerate pain and have hard bones. If His Royal Highness King Hui had been kind to me and made me think that you would be a wise monarch in the future, I might have handed over the Order of Shocking Clouds to you. ”

King Hui's expression became more and more gloomy, and he looked at Nalan Jinxiu's eyes, as if he wanted to see her bones through her flesh and skin. This kind of eyes are as sharp as a knife, and ordinary people will feel scared when they see it.

But Nalan Jinxiu is not an ordinary person. If she was still timid and cowardly before, she would still want to indulge in her peaceful and peaceful little life.

Everything he experienced in the northern frontier, as well as the intrigue after arriving at Jinling City, and all the pain he suffered at the hands of King Hui. has polished her former attributes to the ground.

Now that she is no longer the person she once was, she has become fearless: "What is Your Highness looking at me like this, do you think I am entertaining you now? Then I really have to regret it, what I am saying now is from the bottom of my heart." ”

Her voice was so small that Hyewang had to concentrate to hear it clearly. Enraged, he reached out and clasped her chin hard, using almost all his strength.

If he could, he really wanted to strangle this person right now. Is it that after he dies, he will no longer have to endure these entanglements and powerlessness.

He has been in obscurity for so many years, suffering what others can't bear, and step by step to today, he no longer knows what has been disobeyed.

But the young man in front of him faced him with an indifferent attitude. No matter how much he was tortured, he still refused to beg for mercy, nor did he tell him the secret of the Shocking Cloud Order.

He's really fed up and really wants to destroy him. Reason told him that if he was killed now, then he would lose everything and never have a chance to turn the tables around.

King Hui forced himself to let go of Nalan Jinxiu, and in the quiet space, only his heavy wheezing could be heard. He gritted his teeth and said, "Since torture can't make you succumb, why don't we talk about the deal." ”

Nalan Jinxiu smiled sarcastically, still weakly said: "You buried five silver needles in my body, they follow the blood, and my life will not be long." A dying man doesn't care about anything anymore, do you think there's anything else I can talk to you about?"

"You are loyal to the Zhenbei Palace, and you are bent on putting the northern frontier at the forefront. If you are willing to hand over the Order of Shocking Clouds to me and help me complete the great cause, I will definitely treat Northern Xinjiang well. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"Northern Xinjiang is vast and has its own customs and habits, and I can let you go out independently. Since then, Northern Xinjiang is Northern Xinjiang and has nothing to do with Daning. ”

"It turns out that you want to divide Daning. Nalan Jinxiu chuckled: "It's a shame that you are still from the royal family, and you actually did such a thing for your own selfish interests, which really refreshed my insight." ”

At this moment, King Hui seemed to feel the feeling he once felt, when he was not yet an adult, and his mother was not valued by his father, didn't those people despise him like this?

He couldn't help laughing, and when he had laughed enough, he said, "How noble are you to be compared to me? After all, you're just a wretched creature that no one cares about." Northern Xinjiang doesn't care about you, no one cares about you in Jinling City, even if you die here, no one will feel sorry for you. ”

King Hui paused at this point, and he felt that what he was saying now was addressed to his predecessors. But it seems to be talking about himself again, and if he dies, there must be many people who applaud him. The only one who will really be sad for him is probably the concubine.

"You are for the sake of these indifferent people in the world, for the sake of people who will not remember who you are, you have to keep the order of the clouds. Do you think they're going to thank you? No, they won't!"

At the end of King Hui's words, his voice suddenly rose up, causing the ears of Nalan Jinxiu, who was very close to him, to roar. She was already a little dizzy, but now she was barely supported by her will, and after this sound, she slowly closed her eyes.

King Hui glanced at her, made sure she had fainted, and slowly sat down on the ground. He rested his cheeks on his knees, his hands hanging limply on the ground, looking a little pitiful.

He had to admit that this time he seemed to be finished. His father knew that he had falsely preached the Holy Decree, and thought that he had flouted the imperial power and had completely alienated his mother. King Xun is pressing step by step, and there is Xiangguo as a backer behind him, if he can't get the Shocking Cloud Order, he will really be finished.

Maybe for the sake of him being a royal family after all, his father would not kill him. But to be a nominal prince for the rest of his life, he is destined not to reach the top and not get that position, so what is the point of his life?
