Qiu Luoxue was lying on Xia Zimo's back, she had been very moved by his actions in the past few days, so she said, "Thank you for being so good to me." But this will make me dependent, and if I get addicted, it's not good, and it seems that it will take a long time to quit in the future. ”

"No need to quit, I plan to be so good to you all the time." Xia Zimo replied. Qiu Luoxue couldn't see his expression now, but she could hear the truth in her tone.

…………

It had been two days since Nie Yuan hurried to the outside of Connecticut City, and the shadow guards from all over the country were already waiting for him outside the city.

"Your identities can't be revealed, you need to dress up as the Nie family's government soldiers, there are clothes in the box, change your clothes immediately, and enter Connecticut City." Nie Yuan rode on his horse and said to the group of shadow guards.

He was now wearing the same black clothes as when he first saw Qiu Luoxue, which was as heavy as armor. This outfit symbolizes his identity, and it also makes him more majestic.

After the shadow guards changed their clothes, Nie Yuan took them to Connecticut City with them. From the tower of the city in Connecticut, a group of soldiers in armor was seen coming from a distance, and they walked in orderly steps, approaching the city gate step by step.

"Who are these people?" The soldier on the castle tower asked in a panic.

"I don't know, let's ...... Let's ask first. The other soldier stammered.

"Who's out of the city?" The soldier gathered his emotions and mustered up the courage to ask loudly.

Nie Yuan didn't speak, but held the token in his hand high. The black token, under the sunlight, looks even more noble and elegant, with an inviolable spirit.

"That's ...... It's the Black Water Order, quick, go and inform Lord Zhao. When the soldiers saw the Black Water Order, they were quite shocked and didn't know what to do, so they had to go to the prefect.

In Daqin, there are four kinds of tokens to know, one is the emperor's golden dragon token; the second is the prime minister's white jade unicorn token; the third is the general's white tiger token; The fourth is the Blackwater Order led by the Shadow Guard.

"The laws of the Great Qin stipulate that those who see the Blackwater Order will obey the orders of the holder of the Blackwater Order if they see the Holy Lord, regardless of their official position or title. Now, the Commander will take over the defense of Connecticut, and he will quickly lead Connecticut officials to meet me. Those who disobey the order shall be beheaded. ”

Nie Yuan's words were very penetrating, with irresistible power. Coupled with his expressionless face and cold eyes, it makes people shudder.

Governor Zhao came after he finished saying that, and knelt down in front of Nie Yuan's horse with a kind of official, and said, "See Lord Commander."

"You are Zhao Xin?" Nie Yuan looked at Zhao Xin condescendingly and asked.

"Yes, the next official is Zhao Xin." Zhao Xin replied cautiously, he could probably guess Nie Yuan's intention, and he was a little weak-hearted.

And Nie Yuan, who didn't give him much space to think, said, "Come on, tie it up."

Soon, two shadow guards dressed as government soldiers came out and tied up Zhao Xin.

"What do you mean, Lord Commander? Although you have a black water order, you can't treat your subordinates like this. No matter what the lower official says, he is also the parent official of Connecticut, if you do this, are you not afraid that the emperor will ask for guilt in the future? Zhao Xin reprimanded.

"Even if the emperor asks for guilt, you can't see it. Take it down. Nie Yuan said, and after speaking, he rode into the city.

After Nie Yuan arrested Zhao Xin, he stepped up the torture of him, and the methods of the shadow guard were never soft. During the interrogation, he didn't say anything, and when he came up, he was beaten first. The first procedure is caning, which is the easiest to understand, which is very simple to whip. But the executioners are all martial arts practitioners, and the strength of this hand is naturally not light. No, as soon as he was whipped, he beat Zhao Zhifu and yelled.

Nie Yuan watched the execution calmly in the cell, without a trace of emotion on his face, and naturally he would not sympathize with him. When Zhao Xin was basically beaten, Nie Yuan stopped.

"I'll just ask once, where is Prime Minister Qiu?" Nie Yuan asked.

"I, I don't know. The soldiers defending the city only said that he had left the city with the old man, and did not tell us where he was going. Zhao Xin said stiffly.

After all, being labeled as an assassination prime minister is a dead end. He also hoped that after this execution, there might be hope of survival. But he seemed to mutter about the cruelty of the Shadow Guard.

"It seems that you are still not very sober, so I'll let you sober up." Nie Yuan said, and said to the shadow guard beside him: "Waterboarding."

The reason why the second waterboarding is placed after the whipping is very meaningful. The water is not ordinary water, but is mixed with salt. When you are beaten and the flesh is opened, pour a bowl of salt water on you, it is sour and refreshing, you can imagine.

"Ah......" When salt water was poured on Zhao Xin's body, he let out a terrible scream, almost shaking the entire cell.

The prisoners in the other cells could not see the scene, but only heard the terrible screams, which were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe loudly.

"I see that you seem to have some misunderstanding, so I kindly remind you that what you are thinking about now is not a question of life or death, but how to die." Nie Yuan said.

Seeing that Zhao Xin was puzzled, he kindly explained: "Assassinate the prime minister, no matter how many excuses you have, you are dead." It's just that if you tell the whereabouts of the prime minister, you can die happily. If you keep saying that...... There are more than 30 punishments in the back, as well as burning at the stake, knife punishment, and snake punishment...... Anyway, it's a lot, and the pain level is gradually increasing. The most powerful person I've ever seen hasn't survived the tenth ......."

"I say, I say." Before Nie Yuan's words were finished, Zhao Xin couldn't wait to make a choice, and there were more than thirty punishments, he definitely couldn't hold on.

"Then let's say, Prime Minister Qiu, where is it?" Nie Yuan asked.

"Actually, I really don't know where he ......," Zhao Xin said.

Nie Yuan looked at him with a murderous look, which made Zhao Xinzhi tremble in fright, and he immediately said, "But...... But I know they've fallen off a cliff outside of Connecticut. Jiang Zhuo and they are also looking for Prime Minister Qiu, but they haven't found it, I really ......"

When Nie Yuan heard Zhao Xin say that Qiu Luoxue had fallen off the cliff, he immediately became calm, and left the cell without waiting for Zhao Xin to finish speaking.

"You, why did you just leave? What about me? Zhao Xin looked at Nie Yuan's back and shouted, but no one answered him.

"Governor Zhao has been arrested, what should we do? I heard that the shadow guard's methods are extremely vicious, he will definitely not be able to stand it, and when the time comes, we will be recruited, and the prince will be affected, what can I do. Feng An said restlessly.

"Pack up your things and leave Connecticut immediately." Jiang Zhuo immediately decided that he knew that if he continued to stay in the city, he would be arrested by Nie Yuan sooner or later, and it would be too late then.

Feng An agreed with this decision and said, "Then I'll inform AVIC."

"Don't tell him." Jiang Zhuo said.

Feng An looked back at Jiang Zhuo in confusion and asked, "Why didn't you inform him."

"If we all go, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others, and we will not be found out if we don't go far. Leave him behind, and we can go far. Jiang Zhuo said.

"But it's dangerous for him to stay." Feng An said.

"He didn't directly participate in the assassination of Prime Minister Qiu, and he has a lot to do with people from the capital, so he will be fine." Jiang Zhuo said, "Moreover, you can just take advantage of this opportunity to see who he is." ”

Nie Yuan took a part of the shadow guards out of Connecticut City to find Qiu Luoxue's whereabouts. But the heavens and the earth are so vast, when will they be found? He felt a sense of despair about this and regretted that he was not by Qiu Luoxue's side.

"Look in the direction of the cliffs, be sure to find them." Nie Yuan instructed his subordinates to defend the Dao.

After dark, Nie Yuan came to Qiu Luoxue's mother-in-law's house where she stayed for a while, and there was still only her mother-in-law at home. Nie Yuan asked his mother-in-law about the whereabouts of Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo.

"I didn't see it, we don't even see people in the barren mountains and mountains, let alone the two noble sons, how could they come here." The mother-in-law said, denying the whereabouts of Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo.

"Some say they saw them go in this direction." Nie Yuan said, in a very certain tone.

"Whoever told you to go with whom, I didn't see it anyway." The mother-in-law replied very stiffly.

"We found these in the room." As he was talking, a shadow guard came over and said, what he was holding in his hand was the clothes that Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo left at his mother-in-law's house.

Nie Yuan took the clothes and looked at them carefully, and immediately recognized Qiu Luoxue's clothes. Because Qiu Luoxue is petite and the size of her clothes is very small, ordinary men can't wear these clothes. In addition, he saw the waist pendant hanging on his clothes, which Qiu Luoxue often hung on his body.

"Now, do you still say you haven't seen them?" Nie Yuan said coldly, and immediately pulled out his sword and put it against his mother-in-law's neck.

"Wife......" Mother-in-law's father-in-law happened to come back at this time, and when he saw Nie Yuan's knife on his mother-in-law, he hurriedly dropped the things in his hand and ran to his mother-in-law.

Nie Yuan immediately moved the knife to the old man's neck and threatened his mother-in-law: "If you don't tell their whereabouts, I will kill him, you can choose for yourself."

The mother-in-law looked at her wife, who was with her day and night, and finally couldn't bear to watch her die, and said, "These clothes were left by a son and a young lady a few days ago, and you really don't want to find two noble sons."

If someone else were changed, he would definitely miss the news, but Nie Yuan knew that Qiu Luoxue would change into women's clothes when she was in danger to hide her identity.

"I've found those two people, where did they go?" Nie Yuan asked.

Finally got a little Qiu Luoxue's whereabouts, Nie Yuan was very excited and grateful. It's good to know that she's alive and sound.

The mother-in-law heard that Nie Yuan was looking for two sons for a while, and then a man and a woman, and came to a judgment that Nie Yuan was the one who wanted to marry Qiu Luoxue and break up Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo.
