Chapter 20: Faith in the King

Did they make any moves before? Xiao Chongguang stared at the corpse and asked.

The big men looked at each other, and finally sighed helplessly, and one of the older men crossed their hands and said: "Yu Xiaotou, no matter how we torture them, they are like stones in a pit, smelly and hard, and they never say a word, and when we saw them fainted from being tortured, we took a nap, and when they woke up, they had already died of excessive blood loss from broken tongues." ”

"Just because you took a nap!"

Lu Yunsheng was furious and kicked the big man to the ground.

The guards knelt down in unison: "It's the villain's fault, the villain's crime deserves death!" ”

Yun Sheng said angrily: "What's the use of cutting you with a thousand knives!" Do you know how important these Assassins were? But because of your laziness for a while, we have cut off another important clue! Are you up to the task? ”

"Okay," Xiao Chongguang patted Lu Yunsheng on the shoulder: "Don't blame them, these assassins actually committed suicide by biting their tongues in order to keep their secrets, and we didn't expect it." ”

Tongue biting is a suicide method, and after the tongue is broken, it takes a period of time for your blood to drain up, so this is an extremely cruel and painful way to commit suicide.

Of course, the prisoner of the first word has his limbs locked, and there is really no other way to achieve the goal of suicide except biting his tongue.

When Lu Yunsheng heard this, half of his anger disappeared, and he pointed to the big men and said: "Although it is unpredictable, it is also your negligence first, you few, tomorrow you will go to the punishment division to receive sixty boards!" ”

"Whoa." The big men replied softly like frosted eggplants.

"Also, send a few people to stuff a ball of cotton in that Sun Ming's mouth, so that he can also perform a scene for me to bite his tongue and commit suicide." Lu Yunsheng ordered two guards and trotted all the way to Sun Ming's cell.

"Everyone is tired, tell them to finish their work, let's rest early." Xiao Chongguang sighed.

"Got it." Lu Yunsheng said.

Dongdu West City Zhengtongfang Spiegel Division

"According to the 'Watchman' report, tonight the Tiwei Mansion launched a secret operation and captured a number of hidden stakes."

Uncle Jiang was in the hall together, relaying the information he had just obtained to He Qian, who was sitting on the main seat.

"Are there any of our people?" He Qian asked.

Jiang Shutong frowned and said: "This is not clear yet, we will not know until tomorrow morning 'Autumn Cicada' confirms it." ”

He Qian said with a gloomy face: "If our people are arrested, they don't need to report to me, no matter who they are, they will be wiped out immediately!" ”

"Whoa!"

The tenth day of the first month of the third year of the Great Chu Chenghe, the imperial city of the eastern capital, the west garden, Chenzheng

The West Garden is a small courtyard behind the Imperial Garden, there are not as many flowers and plants as the Imperial Garden, but a very spacious courtyard, only a cloud pond and some small trees for the queen to raise fish, of course, it is now the cold winter season, the trees have long withered, and the fish pond is also frozen with a thin layer of ice, although the weather is sunny today, it is only at noon, when the sun is bigger, the thin ice will melt.

Song Yu and Song Qi were sitting at a stone table in the West Garden, drinking Dan tea and discussing the queen's birthday tomorrow.

"Brother Huang, why don't you give the tiger tendon bow that I have treasured for a long time to the queen mother." Song Qi put forward his own idea.

When Song Yu heard this, he almost squirted out the tea in his mouth, and he said with a smile: "Eleventh brother, do you think the queen mother will like these things of yours to fight and kill?" To give a congratulatory gift to the mother, of course, you should choose something that the woman likes. ”

Song Qi scratched his head and said: "I really don't understand these things, I know that Zhu Hai's Laoshizi is what women like, but the queen mother must not look down on it, Brother Huang, you help me think about it." ”

Song Yu thought for a while, and then clapped his hands and said, "There is!" In Yongrenfang in the West Market, there is a shop called Caiyunxuan, specializing in buying some rare and exotic objects, recently I heard that they have bought a new batch of red coral from the East China Sea, you can buy these red corals, and then ask Master Xu Lixin to use these corals to help you carve a phoenix, the queen mother must like it. ”

"That's a good way! The queen mother is the queen of the world, and she should want a phoenix to match. Song Qi also agreed with this method and was full of joy.

While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and Song Yu followed the prestige, only to see that it was Song Lin, the king of letters, who slowly paced into the West Garden.

When he saw Song Yu, his eyes were full of surprise, and he strode forward and said, "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be here, it's rude." Oh, there is also the eleventh brother," Song Lin looked at Song Qi with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but I am still in the same spirit as before." ”

Song Qi also pouted and ignored Song Lin. Song Yu said indifferently: "Third brother, you have been to Yanzhou for so long and finally come back, do you want to come and sit together?" ”

"Okay, let's talk." After saying that, Song Lin walked to Song Yu and sat down.

Seeing this, Song Yu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Song Lin, who had always been against him, would agree in the face of his fake invitation, which was really unreasonable.

Song Qi was also stunned when he saw Song Lin's reaction, although he was reluctant in every way, but the ancestors had a lesson that within the royal family, the younger brother must respect the elder brother, and he had to pour a cup of hot tea for his third brother.

"There's Brother Lao."

Song Lin smiled and nodded to Song Qi in thanks, but the other party pretended not to see it and tilted his head to the other side.

"How is the royal brother doing recently?" Song Lin asked after taking a sip of tea.

Song Yu looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Do you hope that this palace is good or that this palace is not good?" ”

Song Lin smiled: "What did the imperial brother say? Of course, the younger brother hopes that his brother will have a good life, and he hasn't seen him for a long time, so he still needs to greet each other. ”

"Really?" Song Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Then Third Brother Xie cares, this palace is very good." ”

Song Lin said again: "When I was in Yanzhou, I heard that there was an assassination case in the imperial capital, and the assassin was Liu Yuanzhen, the imperial historian of the current dynasty. It's really appalling, in the capital where my father lives, there will be such a murder, if you don't catch it in time, it will inevitably threaten the imperial city, and the royal brother has to make some preparations. ”

Song Yu sneered: "Third brother, do you want to be stabbed to death by an assassin in this palace?" ”

Song Lin pretended to be serious and said: "Brother Huang, the younger brother is for your safety, after all, the enemy is in the shadows, and the world is unpredictable." ”

Song Yu said with a gloomy face: "Even if an assassin wants to make a move against the palace, I will deal with it, and I don't need to worry about the third brother." ”

"I have long heard that the imperial brother apprenticed under the Qingxu Dao Changmen of the Sanqing Palace, practiced martial arts, and had a strong kung fu body, no wonder the imperial brother had no fear." Song Lin sighed.

Song Qi said: "Third brother, when you say this, don't you want to challenge the crown prince?" ”

Song Lin waved his hand and said: "Don't dare, I only know a little about martial arts, how can I compete with the imperial brother." ”

"What did the third brother say, aren't you also in Yanzhou, practicing martial arts with a mysterious master? Why don't you show it up, and it will also open the eyes of this palace. ”

Song Yu said as he slowly stood up and put on a posture.

Song Lin said helplessly: "Well, since the imperial brother is invited, the younger brother can only give advice." ”

Before the words fell, the fist wind came first, and Song Lin jumped up directly from the stone bench, turned his right hand into a fist, and smashed Song Yu's heart!

Song Yu was shocked, no one expected this sudden move, and in a panic, he had to block it with both hands, but he didn't prevent the other party from immediately retracting his fist, and his left hand turned into a palm and slapped it according to Song Yu's shoulder socket, Song Yu was caught off guard, and took this blow and retreated a few steps.

"Song Lin! You cheat! Song Qi scolded angrily and called his three emperor brothers by their names.

Song Lin sneered: "I'm Brother Pope, how to face emergencies!" ”

After that, he ran towards Song Yu, turned his right hand into a palm, and hit the prince directly in the chest!

After all, Song Yu is the prince of the East Palace, how can the martial arts he learned be ordinary, even if the battle situation is unfavorable, he can quickly twist it, and at the moment his hands are stretched to both sides, making a "white crane bright wings" style, standing in shape, and then condensing his energy, defending as an attack, turning his hands into palms, and unloading the fist of Song Lin's attack, and Song Lin is not in a hurry, stepping on the gang method, tending to move forward, from fists to claws, and continuing to attack Song Yu, the two sides are engaged in dozens of battles, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from defeat.

Song Qi watched from the side, and saw that Song Yu couldn't fight, so he slowly got up, quietly walked behind Song Lin, held his right hand and condensed his palm, used all his strength, saw the opportunity, and slapped Song Lin's back suddenly!

Although Song Lin fought with Song Yu, he also kept an eye on Song Qi who helped the prince's party. At this moment, the sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded in his ears, and he immediately knew that it was Song Qi who attacked him, but his hands were still fighting with Song Yu, and he couldn't get out at all, so he had to hook his left leg and kick back.

Song Qi didn't expect that Song Lin had already defended himself, so he had to turn from attack to defense, with his palms in front of his chest, against this kick, and when he saw that the other party was entangled by the prince, he attacked here.

Song Qi practiced riding and archery since childhood, Song Yu was guided by the master, martial arts improvement, even if Song Lin regenerated two hands are difficult to fight two, instantly fell to the downside, gradually unable to support, when he showed many flaws, the number of martial arts was also completely messed up, Song Yu saw that his abdomen was empty and defenseless, so he made a move with his left hand, and his right hand slapped his abdomen, Song Qi also kicked his thigh, and pushed his hands up to Song Lin's chest, and he was knocked backwards and flew a few steps, and fell heavily to the ground.

Song Lin struggled to stand up, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and glared at Song Yu and Song Qi with resentment in his eyes.

"How? Third brother, your imperial brother's kung fu is okay, right? Song Yu looked at Song Lin with a smug face, revealing a sense of arrogance.

Song Lin didn't speak, but turned around and grabbed something from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth.

Of course, this series of actions was not discovered by Song Yu and Song Qi, but they were just wondering what the other party was messing with.

I saw that Song Lin suddenly twitched all over, as if all the muscles in his body were vibrating, it was obvious that Song Lin couldn't support this reaction, and half-squatted down.

Song Yu and Song Qi, who were standing on the other side, glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes, but they didn't dare to step forward easily, and they were all watching the changes in the situation.

Soon, Song Lin's body stopped twitching, he stood up with a "pout", and turned around, with a look of enjoyment, and his eyes turned red at some point, only to see him staring at his two brothers with hideous eyes, and laughing strangely in his mouth: "Brother Huang, Brother Eleven, I haven't fought enough, keep coming, you can go together." ”
