Chapter 138: Beauty Lasts Forever
The torture chamber set up in the ground was not dark, and the large candles at the four corners illuminated the entire torture chamber brightly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info On a wooden pillar in the middle, a naked concubine is tied.
Her long black hair was hung high, her legs were tied to copper pieces apart, a wooden basin was placed between her legs, and two eunuchs were holding wooden mallets, ready to smash the lower abdomen of the concubine.
"Stop!" Zhong Wuregret hurriedly shouted.
The gavels held by the two eunuchs did not dare to smash down, and they looked to the side.
Mrs. Juanhua's cold voice sounded on the side: "I didn't stop, why don't you stop, give me the gavel!" ”
"Wait! Madame, will you listen to me before you make a decision? Zhong Wuregret pleaded softly.
"Say it!" Mrs. Juan Hua said this, which can be said to have given Zhong Wu regrets face.
Zhong Wuregret glanced at Concubine Yuan, she was charming and charming, her skin was as white as jade, and the two red **** were standing upright like golden dates. Although she was frightened by the torture, she still had a dazzling charm all over her body.
Hearing Zhong Wuregret pleading for her, Concubine Yuan looked at Zhong Wuregret, and the tears contained in her two beautiful eyes were dripping.
"I know that Concubine Yuan is guilty and deceived the king, but that is not Concubine Yuan's intention." Zhong Wuregret said: "She is a weak woman, what can she do under Pan Chong's coercion? So the root of the fault is not her.
Madame think about it, how could a beautiful woman like Concubine Yuan like Pan Chong like that bad old man? An old fellow, covered in wrinkled skin, crawled onto the young body, and his mouth was still dripping with stinky saliva, which was disgusting to think about. Besides, the king is not ruthless to Concubine Yuan, so he also asks his wife to be merciful. ”
"What Lord Zhong said is very beautiful and reasonable, but have you ever thought about it from the position of our royal power?" Lady Juan Hua said, "There is only one throne, but everyone wants to take it." For the sake of the throne, all kinds of vicious methods are used to the extreme, even at the expense of father and son, brother knife, mother and son.
When you see what I'm doing, you think it's cruel, but if I don't use cruelty to restrain the officials, I'm afraid there will be more people plotting to seize power.
You have personally experienced it, the king's master Gongzi Xie and Ziyi, Taishi Pan Chong, and Ling Yin Chengjia, which one has been merciful? Pan Chong killed my brother-in-law, and now he wants to kill Lu'er. If it weren't for you, a thief, who had been well guided, as long as the brigade showed a little dissatisfaction, I am afraid that the bones would have been gone. I really want to thank you for being able to have today.
In my opinion, the current Ling Yin Douyue Jiao is not a shallow foundation, and I am afraid it will not be honest, you must pay more attention in the future.
If any of them get the power to cover the sky with one hand, I think I don't know how cruel it will be to treat you and me. Therefore, I will not tolerate any damage to the throne. ”
Mrs. Juan Hua pointed at Concubine Yuan and said, "If I let her go." Can you guarantee that the evil seed in her belly will not settle accounts with you in the future? Or let her give birth to that evil seed, how will the king explain to the people and ministers in the future? ”
Zhong Wuregret knew that what Mrs. Juan Hua said was the truth. Under the **** system, although the higher the position, the more dangerous it is, the greedy nature of people determines that everyone wants to climb up.
"Princely generals, would you rather have a kind?" In order to stabilize the throne and reduce the risk of the throne and the need for infighting, the emperor used extremely harsh killing methods and endless conspiracies to deter the people and officials and exterminate their rebellious hearts.
"However, can Madame save Concubine Yuan's life?" Zhong Wuregret chose to back down.
A cruel smile hung on the corner of Mrs. Juanhua's mouth: "Whether she can live or not depends on whether she has this life." ”
After that, Mrs. Juan Hua shouted to the two eunuchs: "Mallet! ”
The two eunuchs raised their gavels and smashed them into Concubine Yuan's lower abdomen, and with a scream, a large piece of flesh fell out from between Concubine Yuan's legs and landed in the wooden basin.
"Since the traveler wants you to come, now, I will leave her to you." With that, Mrs. Juan Hua came out of the torture room.
Concubine Yuan had fainted to death, bleeding between her legs. Zhong Wuregret asked the eunuch to bring a robe for Concubine Yuan to put on, and then asked the eunuch to help her sit.
Zhong Wuregret first pried open Concubine Yuan's mouth, fed a hemostatic pill, and then sat on the back of Concubine Yuan, wanting to use the exercises taught by Wu Lingxiao in Shuangjue Valley to save Concubine Yuan's life, as for whether it is useful or not, Zhong Wuregret is not sure, according to what Mrs. Juan Hua said, whether she can live or not depends on whether she has this life.
Dou Yuejiao returned to Doufu, still in shock, he stayed in the study, and the more he thought about the burden of the family that Chengjia handed over to him, the more he lost confidence. Cheng Jia asked him to take advantage of the mediocrity of the king of Chu, first work hard and do more practical things for the people, lay a good foundation for diligent government for the people, and once he replaced the king of Chu, he could be welcomed by the people.
But now it seems that Cheng Jia was also deceived by Zhong Wuregret's illusion. Zhong Wuregret and the King of Chu were able to seize the government that Pan Chong had been running for decades in an early dynasty, and if there was anyone who said that the King of Chu was mediocre, he would definitely be an idiot.
Dou Yuejiao is a master of martial arts, the opponent's martial arts, as long as the opponent's hands and feet move, he can weigh how much weight the opponent has, but Zhong Wuregret's move to grab the blade empty-handed made him have an unfathomable feeling of Zhong Wuregret.
"Alas!" Dou Yuejiao let out a long sigh. He didn't understand why, when he was Sima, he always wanted to sit in the position of Ling Yin and was satisfied. However, after really sitting on the throne of Ling Yin, he thought about replacing the dictatorship of King Chu again. On the surface, it is to complete Cheng Jia's will, but deep down, why is it not so longing?
Is this the case with the human heart, the insatiable thirst for power? No! Dou Yuejiao vetoed his idea again. The quest for power is about fear! As a subordinate, he is afraid all day long, and he may kill him one day, which is unreasonable.
Bigan is known as the "first loyal minister of eternity", he is loyal and upright. Seeing that the king was tyrannical and lewd, and tyrannical and tyrannical, he bluntly admonished, saying: "The monarch is at fault, and it is disloyal to be a courtier, and he is afraid of death but does not dare to say that he is not brave, and the monarch is at fault, and the courtier admonishes and the monarch does not accept it, and the courtier dies because of this, which is an act of loyalty to the extreme." ”
So, Bigan went to the Star Picking Tower and urged him not to leave for three days. When the king asked him what he had to rely on, Bigan replied, "My dependence is that I always do righteous things, and this is my dependence." ”
The king was furious and said, "It is said that you have seven exquisite hearts, and I will cut open your chest today to see what your heart is like." ”
So the king slew Bigan and cut out his heart to see it. This is the sorrow of a minister!
"I think that my Ruo Ao clan also belongs to the branch of the royal family, and I fought for the east and the north for the Chu State, and I have made outstanding achievements." Dou Yuejiao secretly shouted in his heart: "Xiong Lu, my blood is as noble as yours, and most of the rivers and mountains of Chu are made by my ancestors." Why should I be a minister and not a king? ”
Just when Dou Yuejiao was upset, a mysterious guest came to Dou Mansion.
Zhong Wuregret secretly scolded the martial arts drama for killing people, in the play, no matter how many injuries he suffered, a strong martial artist put his hands on the injured person and made a move, and after the feat, he was a living person.
But Zhong Wuregret tried his best to save Concubine Yuan, but he only hung her for a breath. couldn't stay in the palace and couldn't send it to the Zhong Mansion, so Zhong Wuregret had to quietly send Concubine Yuan to a small courtyard for private prostitutes, which was a secret stronghold of his intelligence department.
Zhong Wuregret sent someone to quietly find Tang Zhong and first commended the entire intelligence department he led.
The forbidden army of the state of Chu was mainly composed of "children of noble travel", that is, children of the princes and doctors. It is precisely because Zhong Wuregret's intelligence department found out the family situation of these forbidden soldiers in advance and made plans in advance, coupled with the influence of the old man Xiong Ke, the guard of King Cheng and the prestige of Mrs. Juan Hua, that this disintegrated the forbidden army team controlled by Pan Chong, of course, the slave army he secretly arrived at was the biggest hero, without their deterrence, I am afraid that things would not be simple.
Zhong Wuregret asked Tang Zhong to strictly seal the news of Concubine Yuan, and sent someone to protect Concubine Yuan, so he left in a hurry, he thought that Wu Lingxiao of the Double Absolute Valley had said that the pill she refined had the miraculous effect of reviving the dead, and Zhong Wuregret wanted to ask her for help. At the same time, the major affairs of the King of Chu came to an end for the time being, and Zhong Wuregret had to take the old man Xiong Ke to Wu Lingxiao to fulfill one of their dreams.
After the king of Chu took charge, with the assistance of capable and other ministers, he sorted out the government in an orderly manner, and took this opportunity to temporarily leave the royal city with the old man Xiong Ke and hurried to the Shuangjue Valley.
After the old man Xiong Ke captured Pan Chong, his body immediately weakened sharply, as if the final decisive battle was to fulfill his life's wish, and also drained his last energy.
After arriving at the Double Absolute Valley, Wu Lingxiao asked Zhong Wuregret to send the elixir to the old man Xiong Ke, but no matter how the old man Xiong Ke begged, she refused to see Xiong Ke alive or dead.
Wu Lingxiao's elixir was really effective, and after the old man Xiong Ke took it, he had a good change the next day. Zhong Wuregret estimated that there were not many people studying medicine at that time, and the ecological environment was not destroyed, and many precious medicinal materials for living lives were abundant.
Zhong Wuregret was in a hurry to return to Wangcheng, he thought that after sending the old man Xiong Ke here, he could live with Wu Lingxiao but wished, but Wu Lingxiao was persistent and terrible, saying that once Xiong Ke was cured, either Xiong Ke would leave, or she would leave.
Zhong Wuregret thought that Wu Lingxiao had always been in a resentful mood, so he would say it so ruthlessly, so he had to go to Wu Lingxiao to persuade him.
He took out the phoenix hairpin handed to him by the old man Xiong Ke and handed it to Wu Lingxiao, and said: "Master, the matter on Master's mind now, except for this one, everything else has been settled, and he doesn't want to stay in Wangcheng, he just wants to live with his wife in this deep mountain and old forest for the rest of his life."
Back then, he didn't come to the appointment, and he couldn't help himself, why couldn't his wife forgive him, and let his heart still suffer to this day? After suffering for so many years, he has suffered no less than his wife, and he has not many days in his life, what should he do so that his wife is willing to forgive him? ”
hairpin, and the phoenix hairpin brought by Zhong Wuregret. In an instant, the phoenix hairpin emitted a fiery red halo, and a pair of lifelike phoenixes seemed to be dancing in the fire, raising their heads and singing, proud of the earth's wings. Wu Lingxiao was already teary-eyed, looking at the pair of jade phoenix hairpins intoxicated, his eyes showed girlish tenderness, and he slowly put the jade phoenix hairpin on his mouth and kissed him affectionately for a long time.
After a long time, Wu Lingxiao said: "After I saw the jade phoenix hairpin last time, I still want you to bring it back, just because I want him to send it personally, today, he finally sent it, you tell him, I will be very happy even if I die!" ”
"But why did you leave him out?" Zhong Wuregret said.
"When he saw me, people said I was like a fairy in the sky, but now, you see, I'm not like a man, I'm not like a ghost, I'm afraid, you know, I'm very, very afraid that he will see me like this and leave again. I want to leave a beautiful image in his heart forever, please let him go! Wu Lingxiao said heartbroken.
Zhong Wuregret couldn't say anything anymore, so he had to take the pill that Wu Lingxiao gave him, came to the old man Xiong Ke, and told him all of Wu Lingxiao's words.
"Silly, this little girl is so stupid!" After speaking, the old man Xiong Ke picked a few pine needles.
He turned his back to Zhong Wuregret and said resolutely, "You take me to her." ”
Zhong Wuregret just wanted to say something, but saw the old man Xiong Ke turn around, his eyes had been blinded by himself with pine needles, and the old man Xiong Ke's eyes were still dripping blood, he actually said to Zhong Wuregret happily: "In this way, isn't she as beautiful as she used to be?" ”
Zhong Wuregret suddenly burst into tears, howling and saying, "I'll go, I'll take you to ......" (to be continued.) )
