Pei Xingli motioned for Xiling Yue to wait outside, and then propped up the wall with one hand and jumped in. Suddenly, he opened the door from the courtyard, and Xilingyue quietly stepped in.

The two of them each held daggers, approaching the direction of the main house step by step, and as soon as they walked outside the door, they heard a young voice from inside: "It's so late, will something happen to the young master?" ”

Another old man sighed: "Wait a little longer, after all, it is Yue'er, and the young master still has some scruples." ”

These two voices are...... Uncle Zhu, the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion, and his son, Zhu Yuanlin, the general manager of Jinxiuzhuang!

In an instant, Xiling Moon fell like an ice cellar. If she was still doubting whether her father-in-law Xiao Zhiwu knew before, then now hearing the conversation between the two, she can be sure that her father not only knows, but also masterminds.

Because, Uncle Zhu's father and son are loyal servants who have been loyal to the Xiao family for more than 20 years. The last time Xiao Zhiwu came to Chang'an to reveal her life experience, he did not shy away from bringing the two of them here, which shows the loyalty of his father and son.

At this time, I only heard Zhu Yuanlin say again: "Dad, are you hungry?" Shall I get you something to eat? ”

"The young master hasn't come back yet, and my father can't eat it." Uncle Zhu sighed and asked again, "How are the two of them?" ”

"Alas, the bones are hard." Zhu Yuanlin said angrily, "If you really can't do it, you can only kill it." ”

Hearing the word "kill", Xilingyue's anger was difficult to contain, and despite Pei Xingli's stopping, she kicked open the door with a "bang".

"Yue'er (Sister Yue)!" Uncle Zhu's father and son shouted in unison when they saw someone coming.

A calm, moldy breath came to the face, mixed with a faint fishy smell, Xilingyue's sense of smell was so sensitive, as soon as he smelled it, he knew that it was bloody! She stared at the two people in the room, and scolded angrily: "Uncle Zhu, Brother Xiaolin, you have disappointed me too much!" ”

Uncle Zhu's father and son glanced at each other, but they all showed a trace of weakness and did not reply.

"What about the Jingjing'er brothers and sisters? I'm going to take them. Xiling Yue pointed the dagger at the two of them as she spoke, and slowly stepped into the threshold. Pei Xingli was at her side.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhu frowned: "Young master...... Let you come? ”

Young master? It was the first time Xiling Yue had heard this name. In the past, in the Xiao family, Uncle Zhu was also half of Xiao Yi's elders, and he always called him "Yi'er".

"I don't know any young master, I only know Xiao Yi." Xiling Yue smiled faintly, the dagger in his hand was pointed at the two of them, and the dim candle flame could not hide his pale complexion.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhu pondered for a moment and said, "Since it is the young master's intention, we will do it, and the two of them are in the house." He said as he pointed to the inner room.

Xiling Yue glanced at the back room, cautiously moved to the door, and was instantly filled with the smell of blood. And the situation in the house shocked her even more-

On the roof hangs a thick iron chain, with two iron hooks at each end of the chain, which passes through the pipa bones of the empty and fine elves respectively, and hangs the two people in the two corners of the northeast and southwest, facing each other from afar.

At this time, the two of them were bloodstained and scarred, if it weren't for the slight ups and downs in their chests, Xiling Yue would really think that they were dead!

Even more outrageous, there was a moving mechanism on the chain, which passed through the lute bones of the two men and lifted them high, so that they could only step on their toes to the ground. If anyone can't hold his breath and his body falls, the person at the other end will be lifted up, and the iron hook in the lute bone will lift his entire body! How bloody, how cruel!

Xilingyue saw Jing Jing'er coughing and spitting out a mouthful of blood foam at a glance, and with just a slight movement, his body had bent down involuntarily. And the empty toes in the northeast corner immediately broke off the ground and were hoisted by the iron hook in the pipa bone! She just snorted and swallowed a groan of pain!

Xilingyue's eyes were red when she saw it, and she almost shouted out like crazy: "Put them down, put them down!" ”

At this time, Pei Xingli had already restrained Uncle Zhu, and the dagger was firmly attached to his neck. Seeing this, Zhu Yuanlin didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to step into the back room, take out the key, and open the mechanism of the chain.

The two sounds of "plopping" came one after another, and Jingjinger and Kongkonger fell one after another, like two shabby clothes being ruthlessly discarded, and fell to the ground weakly.

"Brother Jing, Sister Kong!" Xiling Yue suddenly broke down and cried, standing between the two, not knowing which one to save first.

The spirit in the southwest corner glanced up at her, and struggled to point to the empty space in the opposite corner, and then she came back to her senses and hurriedly ran over. However, in the face of the empty space covered in blood and scars, she did not dare to reach out and touch it, lest she would touch the wound.

She sat on the ground at a loss, so angry that she frantically shouted at Uncle Zhu's father and son: "Who told you to do it? Who is it? Who?! ”

Uncle Zhu had a dagger across his neck and couldn't speak; Zhu Yuanlin replied in a low voice: "We have no choice, their martial arts are too high, and my father and I are not opponents." ”

"Despicable! Shameless! Xiling Yue reprimanded bitterly, and tears rolled down like beads with broken threads, falling on empty cheeks.

Kongkong'er seemed to feel something, opened his eyes slightly, and said intermittently: "You...... Here it is, county lord. ”

"Yes, I'm here, Sister Kong, I'm here to save you!" Xilingyue knelt beside her, wiped the blood from her face with her sleeve, and sobbed fiercely, "Let's go, I'll take you away." ”

"My senior brother......" Kongkong'er struggled to get up, but the iron hook was still wearing in the pipa bone, and when she pushed harder, the pain that pierced her heart invaded her whole body again, and she moaned out in pain.

The elf on the opposite side immediately raised his head and shouted with all his might: "Senior sister! ”

Xiling Yue was also busy saying to her: "Brother Jing is also here, let's go together." ”

"Okay." Sokonger used all his strength to unfold a smile, and he was still a little proud, "They let us ...... Betraying the Prince...... We...... No. ”

Xiling Yue nodded again and again: "I know, I know, you are the best friend of the prince, and it is impossible to betray him." ”

"Hmm." Kongkonger pursed his lips and smiled again, but his whole body shook violently, and he didn't know what he thought, and his pupils constricted for a moment. She grabbed Xilingyue's sleeve and opened her mouth eagerly, "Your brother-in-law...... He...... He betrayed ......"

"I know, I know it all." Xilingyue felt even more guilty, "It's me who hurt you, it's all my fault." ”

Kongkong'er showed a reassuring look, but his breath gradually became weaker, and his whole body trembled: "I'm so cold...... How do I ...... All of a sudden, it was so cold. ”

She raised her right hand and stretched out it in the direction of the southwest corner, shouting desperately, "Senior brother, senior brother...... I want to see my brother......"

When the angular elf heard the shout, his arms, which were already weak, suddenly stood up, and he didn't care about the iron hook in the pipa bone, and crawled towards the empty air step by step. He endured the piercing pain in his heart, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to respond to a word, for fear that this would be a groan of pain, which would make Kongkong'er even more worried.

He could only grit his teeth and walk slowly, and the green tendons on his entire forehead and neck flared up, which was even more shocking against the backdrop of blood! And those eyes...... Those eyes were staring at the empty space, unblinking, and their eyes were persistent.

But these only a dozen steps were as far away as the ends of the world, and he climbed with great difficulty, dragging a long blood mark under his body, and still did not climb to the side of Kongkong.
