Among the three watches, which one is not a person who is extremely smart. It's just that his father knows how to forbear, so he is invincible in the twenty-year power struggle between Fang and Zhao.

Although in the eyes of the world, Yongluan will always be the weakest and most incompetent person, even his son Yongyunqi once thought so.

But in the eyes of Yongyunqi at this moment, his father is the most powerful of the three watches.

Moreover, his father, who had endured for twenty years, was about to release his power in the political situation of Great Qin.

It is conceivable that once Zhao Zhihai falls, then his father or himself will completely take Daqin into his hands.

At that time, those who had laughed at themselves for losing Xiao Guan and for their inability to defeat the rebels would have to pay the price.

Yong Yunqi let go of his clenched fist and looked up at his father, who was looking at him and thinking about something with relish.

He stood up, bowed deeply to his father, and turned away with Yongluan's smile.

Yong Yunqi walked out of Yongluan's tent and went straight to the prison in Xu Changcheng.

In this messy Xuchang City, if there is a well-preserved building, it is a prison.

Whether the official army or the rebels were in charge of the city, this prison was the place where they held important prisoners, so when Xu Chang changed hands several times, the prison was preserved intact.

Yong Yunqi led people into the prison and walked all the way, and went straight to the torture hall where Lihua was imprisoned.

He had already ordered someone to "take care" of Lu Lihua, and "take care" of this "little plague" that made him extremely jealous in his heart and made the monarch look at it differently, the next generation of war gods that everyone in Great Qin was looking forward to.

Until this moment, Yongyunqi still thought that it was not how powerful Lihua was, but that his luck was too good, and he was able to pick peaches all the way to the northwest of Hexi by fighting with the main force of the Hexi rebels, taking away the honor that should have belonged to him.

Therefore, when Zhu Lihua fell into his hands, he would definitely let him know that there was a price to be paid for taking things from his Yongyunqi.

"General, this Lihua is a donkey, the brothers have been fighting for an hour, but he doesn't say a word."

Yong Yunqi sat on the iron chair, and in front of him, a strong man with a big shoulder and a round waist but bare shoulders exposed exposed his flesh wiped his sweat and said to him respectfully.

The strong man's body was already sweating profusely, and he was also out of breath when he spoke to Yong Yunqi, obviously wanting to show that he had just tortured Zhu Lihua.

Yongyunqi looked at Lihua who was tied to a wooden frame with his head bowed and covered in blood, and suddenly felt a crispy and numb feeling of comfort in his heart.

The bloodied person who was beaten in front of him was the one who stole his countless limelight in the past six months, and the person who scolded his father and son in the big tent.

And now, like a dead dog, he hangs on a wooden frame and lets himself beat and scold.

Originally, Yongyun wanted to torture Lu Lihua and make him admit that he had colluded with the rebels and intended to rebel.

In this way, he can better cooperate with his father to launch an attack on Zhao Zhihai, and at the same time, he can also block the mouth of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, especially the monarch.

It's just that after an hour of execution, Na Lihua didn't say a word except for snorting coldly.

Yongyun Qi was obviously not surprised by the tenacity of Zhu Lihua, he waved his hand, and everyone in the torture hall retreated.

"Captain Li, you and I are both smart people, and such persistence will only make you suffer more.

Why bother.

It's better to follow what I said, write with your own hand that you and Zhao Zhihai conspired with the rebels to rebel, and I will let you go to see your father and mother happily. ”

After Yongyun prayed, he looked at the still silent Lihua and smiled, then stood up and walked to Lihua.

"When I was General Xiao Guan, I hadn't heard of you, so I think you may be just an unknown person, but what you have done to lead the troops in the past two years has surprised all of us.

Now, your name has spread all over Daqin, and even the maidservants in my family are asking me if I know you.

Do you know what the king is calling you to do in the court?

Little plague.

This is a great honor, and the monarch feels that the only hope that can turn the tide and drive the Rong people away is you.

Are you happy? Captain Li. ”

Speaking of this, Yong Yunqi suddenly picked up the red-hot soldering iron that was burned in the furnace next to Lihua and pressed it against Lihua's chest.

With the sound of "bang" when the soldering iron intersected with the skin, a puff of green smoke slowly rose along Lihua's chest.

He screamed in pain, but then he gritted his teeth and raised his head, staring at Yongyunqi deadly.

"Hahaha, you are willing to look at me, I know, you look down on me from the bottom of your heart, all of you look down on me, because I lost Xiao Pass, because I can't even win those rebels."

Speaking of this, Yongyun Qi seemed to have suddenly changed a person, gritted his teeth and said: "But can you blame me, under Xiao Guan, I led my troops to kill the commander of the Rong people, but those rebels joined forces inside and outside and attacked Xiao Guan."

In Xuchang City, those people are helping the anti-thieves to defend the city, although on the surface it seems that our army and the anti-thieves are equal in strength, but in fact, there are 80,000 people defending the city in Xuchang.

You all know this, but no one speaks for me, only endless ridicule and abuse at me.

I have been learning the art of war with Fang Yuanheng since I was a child, if they are willing to fight with me, who can beat me.

Therefore when I see you, I am all the more resentful, because what you have received is what belongs to me. ”

After finishing speaking, Yong Yunqi threw away the soldering iron in his hand, which was no longer smoking, and picked up the leather whip and smoked it towards Lihua.

One whip, two whips, three lashes.

I don't know how many whips Yongyunqi whipped, until the people outside the door couldn't stand it anymore, so they ran in and persuaded Yongyunqi and said:

"General Yong, if you fight again, you will be killed, and the person on the right said that this Lihua can't be killed for the time being."

Several people knelt in front of Yongyunqi, which made Yongyunqi, who had lost his mind, regain a trace of calm.

Yong Yunqi waved the leather whip to the big man beside him, and then took the silk scarf handed over by the person next to him and wiped the sweat beads on his face.

was wiping, only to hear the laughter of Lihua at this time, but it came into Yongyunqi's ears.

"Hahaha."

Yongyun Qi seemed to be a little incredulous that Zhu Lihua could still laugh at this time, so he turned his head and walked to the front of Zhu Lihua and said:

"What are you laughing at?"

I only heard Lihua say in an inaudible voice:

"The weak will make excuses for their failures.

If it weren't for your father, if it weren't for your aristocratic status, you would have been executed a hundred or a thousand times by now.

I laugh at you for being stupid but thinking you are smart, stupid but mistaking you for being smart, but I don't know that you are just a walking corpse consumed by the lust for profit. ”

When Yongyun heard this, he smiled instead of anger and said: "After you are still a nobleman, don't you know that the world is ours?"

Even if I have been wrong all my life and have lost another life, so what?

I am still a nobleman, the successor of the right watch, and a person who can turn my hands into clouds and rain and influence the fortunes of the Great Qin country.

And don't forget, the aristocratic status that you keep scolding is the only reason why you can still survive in the world, if it weren't for Zhao Zhihai, you would have been a dead man by now.

Although you are the most hated person I have ever met, I will not kill you now.

Let me tell you the truth, no matter how Zhao Zhihai reacts, I will go north to take over your county seat, and keeping you is just delaying Zhao Zhihai's attention.

When I take the whole territory of Hexi, then you will be of no use to you, and it will be your time of death. ”

Yongyun said triumphantly, and then looked at Lihua seriously, he wanted to look at Lihua's despair, watch Lihua cry or justify, no matter what the result would give him a sense of satisfaction.

Sure enough, after Yongyun prayed, he heard Lihua say again:

"I once said that I am ashamed to be with you, but I laughed at you for being stupid, but you still don't know it, and you still want to go north to take the whole territory of Hexi.

Hahaha, it's ridiculous. ”

Hearing Lihua laugh again, Yong Yunqi felt that something was wrong and asked:

"What are you laughing at?"

Zhu Lihua raised his head with difficulty, his face that was already covered with blood was full of blood scabs, he smiled at Yongyun, said "idiot", and lowered his head again.

Yong Yunqi is such a proud person, as soon as he heard Zhu Lihua say this, it seemed that he had returned to the situation when he was a child and was often ridiculed as an idiot by others, which seemed to be his own reverse scales, and his heart and lungs exploded in an instant.

What no one knows is that Yong Yunqi was indeed more wooden than the children of the nobles of the same age when he was young, so before he worshiped under Fang Yuanheng's door, the aristocratic children in Xijing all called him an "idiot", so since he became an adult, he could no longer hear others call him an idiot.

"Cut his cheekbones for me."

The people beside him looked at Yong Yunqi with a hideous face, and for a while, you look at me, and I don't dare to step forward when I see you.

The bare-chested man cautiously said to Yong Yunqi:

"General think twice, this punishment is one of the five punishments, and it cannot be carried out unless it is a heinous crime, and besides, Zhu Lihua is a public doctor, and he cannot be punished according to the law......"

Just as he was saying this, he saw Yongyunqi kick the shirtless man to the ground, and roared and said:

"If you make another noise, then I will beat you first."

The shirtless man hurriedly got up, saying that he didn't dare, so he and the rest of the people hurriedly searched for the torture instrument and dragged him down from the wooden frame.

"Ahh

A moment later, with a heart-wrenching scream, there was no movement in the torture chamber except for the sound of everyone's breathing.

So much so that when Yong Yunqi saw another kneecap of Zhu Lihua fall to the ground, the sound of the snow-white and hard bones hitting the stone slab made his heart beat violently.

"Dead or not."

Yongyun asked vigorously rubbing his hands, as if the person who had just shaved off Lihua's kneecaps was himself, he was afraid that his hands would be stained with Lihua's blood.

Someone on the side had already touched and touched Lihua who had fainted, and when he was sure that Lihua was not dead, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"General, he still has a breath, but he must not fight anymore, and he must live and recuperate for a few days, otherwise once the wound festers, he will never be able to heal again."

"Okay, okay, got it.

You see, it's a problem if he's dead. ”

After saying that, Yong Yunqi walked out of the torture room as if he had pinched an ant to death.
