It was getting dark, and it was raining outside.

The dim candlelight shone on the mist, hazy, as if bringing time back to the dungeon that was forever filled with moisture—

The brazier had been removed, but the choking charcoal was still in the air.

A poorly clothed woman was locked on a wooden frame full of spikes, her shoulders and chest were scorched and mottled, and her hands and feet were all scorched and deformed, without a trace of human appearance.

This was put down in the middle of the cannon burning punishment, and there was no less pain than she deserved, but she was deprived of the blessing of falling into the charcoal fire to be burned to death, which is called the real can't survive and can't die.

The delicate little eunuch cocked his orchid fingers, gently hooked the iron chain tied to the woman's pipa bone, and smiled very gently: "Princess Pujia, how does this second dish prepared for you by our General Zhong Xiao taste like this?" ”

The woman looked up and spat a mouthful of blood on his face with a "phew".

The little eunuch was immediately furious, grabbed the chain in his hand and pulled it fiercely, and the flesh and blood on the woman's shoulder turned up hideously.

After hearing a miserable cry, the little eunuch regained his smile, turned around and asked in a soft voice behind him, "Is the third dish ready?" Don't keep Princess Pujia waiting! ”

The little servant hurriedly ran in from outside, looking a little flustered: "Dugong Du, most of the princes will come here directly after returning home, do you think you should freshen up Princess Pujia first?" ”

"Freshen up?" The little eunuch was thoughtful.

When the woman on the torture rack, who was already waiting to die, heard these two words, her body immediately trembled uncontrollably.

"Freshen up" this kind of punishment, she knew.

It is to pour boiling water on the person's body and scald it until it is half-cooked, and then brush it with an iron brush like combing the hair until the skin and flesh are brushed out, revealing white bones......

When she first heard these tricks from that man's mouth, she didn't believe that such a tragedy could happen in the world, and suspected that he was trying to scare her.

Was it because she didn't believe it, so he wanted her to experience it for herself?

Thinking of this, the woman suddenly raised her head again, and a little light appeared in her red and dim eyes: "Zhong Liang...... Let Zhong Liang come to see me! ”

The little eunuch was so frightened by her voice that he shuddered, and raised his foot and kicked it over in annoyance: "Shan Rong is dead, you still put the princess's score?" General Zhong Xiao is what you say you can meet? ”

The woman closed her eyes and said in a dumb voice, "I only told Zhong Liang that secret." If he doesn't come, you'll never want to know! ”

The little eunuch's face sank, and the little maid behind him had already turned around and ran.

A moment later, a man in dark iron armor rushed in with a breeze at his feet.

After seeing the woman tied to the torture rack clearly, he suddenly stood up, and his expression froze in place: "Pu Jia?!" ”

"You're here," the woman grinned at him, "come here." ”

The man hesitated, looking at her from afar, still unable to believe what he was seeing.

The little eunuch walked over quickly and whispered in his ear: "This woman has a very hard mouth, and she relented when she was branded and said that she only told you one person - the whereabouts of that thing are very important, and there is General Lao Zhong." ”

The man stood stunned for a long time, and finally held the spear in his hand and walked over step by step: "Pu Jia......"

The woman leaned forward with the chain, grinning and leaning into his ear, her voice so low that she almost breathed: "Zhong Liang, I curse you with the blood of the Shanjung royal family, may you rebel and leave your relatives, and have no children and grandchildren......"
