vs 360 Your position
His voice was extremely cold, without the slightest mood swing.
For the first time, Zongyu felt Tianhao's terrifyingness, especially the strong coercion emanating from him, as if it had a special effect of condensing air, making it impossible to breathe.
ββ¦β¦ Hao, you ...... You can't do this. Zongyu struggled to find the right wording, his face was full of anxiety, and his eyes were full of anger: "What do you have to say, we are all ...... of the Niu clan"
"I'm talking about it." Tianhao interrupted him, and his tone was as cold as ice: "She has been messing around from the beginning. I just wanted to know how the Great Master died, but she didn't give me a satisfactory answer. β
Niu Lingxiao couldn't help but want to interject, but subconsciously remembered the lessons that had collided head-on with Tianhao, been cleaned up again and again, and were extremely painful...... He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't make a sound.
Yuan Meng came out from behind the sect domain, wanted to play a round, and patiently persuaded: "Ah Hao, don't do this. Ah Fang said before that the Tiger Clan sent a killer, and he ...... the great master."
"Tigers?" Tianhao sneered and shook his head slowly: "Do you also believe in this kind of low-level excuse?" Before we came in, Pointe-Noire had been under lockdown. Until now, the murderer has not been caught, and there is no physical evidence, just based on her words, do you believe that the Tiger people did it? β
As he spoke, Tianhao turned around suddenly, staring at Niu Yanfang, who was dragged from the ground by the pig infantry with cold eyes, clasped his shoulders, and his face was covered with blood, and let out a heart-palpitating cold question: "Say, how do you know that the murderer is from the Tiger Clan?" β
Niu Yanfang fell into a semi-comatose state, her ears could hear Tianhao's question, and she instinctively wanted to open her mouth to answer, but the inside of her mouth was swollen and full of broken teeth, and she could only let out a vague and inexplicable moan.
"There are only a few situations that want to know the identity of the other party. First, you know the murderer. Second, the murderer tells you who he is. Third, catch the murderer and make him confess. Tianhao overwhelmed the audience with a fierce momentum, and directly forced Niu Yanfang to the edge of the cliff: "How did you come to the conclusion that the murderer is from the Tiger Clan"? β
These words were reasonable, and Yuan Meng and Zongyu, who were in opposition, were also shocked when they heard it, including Niu Lingxiao and Niu Zhenfeng later, everyone invariably focused their eyes on Niu Yanfang, surprised, frightened, meaningful, probing, and shocked......
Niu Yanfang didn't expect the situation to take a turn for the worse at all, and the identity and bloodline advantages that she originally occupied disappeared in an instant. In fact, she had already thought about this problem, and she had also made preparations in advanceββββ to select a loyal dead soldier and make him pretend to be a murderer of the Tiger Clan. Just throw the person out and all the questions can be explained.
The most important factor is time.
The great division issued a convening order early, the patriarchs of the various branches came too quickly, Niu Yanfang's identity was only a princess, and there were not many people available under her, she thought that she must first negotiate with the patriarchs, get recognition, control the power, and then go back to deal with the details.
It is not as simple as imagined to say that the deceased took the initiative to bear the responsibility. The great power teacher is highly respected, and to some extent, it even surpasses Niu Yanfang's status in the minds of the dead. It is far more difficult to bear this terrible crime, which is reviled by thousands of people, and even the descendants of their families may be affected, far more than giving their lives.
What's more, if things really come to that point, it will be difficult for those who are identified as murderers to want to die. From top to bottom, the angry Niu people will never let him go, and they will definitely be cut with a thousand knives and sentenced to death.
Before Niu Yanfang could operate, Tianhao led the army to rush into Black Horn City and break into the palace.
"Don't know? Or refuse to answer? Tianhao didn't intend to let her go like this. Strode over, grabbed Niu Yanfang's hair, and pulled her head to the side with a hard wrist, forcing her to lift her left cheek up. Tianhao pulled out the dagger that was stuck diagonally in her waist and plunged it directly into the space between her skull and her ears.
The intention of this action was so obvious that Niu Yanfang, who was suffering from pain, was suddenly awakened, and she clearly felt the coldness and hardness of the metal fabric, as well as the frightening sharp touch on the surface of her skin.
Yuan Meng was completely stunned, he trembled and asked, "Ah Hao, what are you going to do?" β
Tianhao didn't mean to answer this question at all, his face was covered with frost, and his eyes locked on Niu Yanfang: "How did the Great Master die?" β
At this time, in addition to insisting on the previous statement, Niu Yanfang had no second choice at all: "It's the Tiger Clan......"
Before she could finish speaking, she let out another terrible wail.
Tianhao's movements were very slow, the dagger sank little by little, the blade was stretched back and forth alternately, and the destructive work of cutting the skin and muscle fibers became grinding, with only one purposeββββ to bring maximum pain to the tortured.
"You can deny it, you can always make up lies according to your ideas. I promise you'll suffer even more than you do now. β
"I'll give you a taste of what it means to be "better to live than to die." I have a way to keep you alive for three months in a penal state. β
"Cutting out a little bit of your tongue every day, pulling your eyes out, without cutting them off, keeps you barely able to see things but it's blurry. Put your eyes in the sun, mosquitoes and flies will fly over, this area is very sensitive, you will feel itchy and unstoppable, but you can never touch it with your hands. β
"I'm going to smash every bone in you. Through the flesh and skin, it was smashed with a very heavy hammer. The outside of the hammer is also wrapped in a thick cotton cloth so that it does not cause damage to your skin and muscles. You can never stand up, you can't even climb. You'll hear the sound of bone fragments flowing between the flesh and skin. I promise, it's the most beautiful piece of music in the world. β
Tianhao's coldness was outrageous, no matter what he was doing, or what he was saying, it made the people present feel that their hearts were choked, and they waited silently in tension and suffocation, and something called "fear" spread like a virus through the crowd and could not be contained.
Zongyu had long since lost the idea of the initial persuasion, and he knew that it was impossible for him to change Tianhao's mind, so he could only let out a lament that even he didn't believe could play a role: "Ah Hao...... Keep it! Fang...... After all, she is the daughter of the former king! β
"That's why she killed the Great Master?" Tianhao completed the process of convicting Niu Yanfang in an indifferent calm.
Although she exuded severe pain everywhere on her body, her brain was very clear, and she shook her head desperately, flatly denying: "No! I didn't. I didn't do it. You...... You have no proof! β
Tianhao shook his head coldly: "There will be." Neither you nor any of your men will escape. All of them will be treated the same way you do. β
"Do you think they'll be able to escape?"
"Do you know how high the status of the Great Master is in the hearts of the people of Black Horn City?"
"As long as I pass on the truth about the death of the great master, who will approve of you, a blood-stained and shameless queen?"
"As for the evidence...... Hum! β
Tianhao maintained a straight posture, he wiped the blood-stained dagger back and forth on the surface of the clothes on Niu Yanfang's shoulder, and casually shouted: "Mengjia! β
Monga, who was standing in the crowd, immediately responded: "Your Highness, I'm here." β
"This king will give you five hundred men to capture all the members of the king's guard. Remember, try to catch it alive. If the other party resists arrest or hides, start with their family members first, killing the old first and then the younger. Cutting off the waist, cutting off the limbs, gouging out the eyes, cutting out the tongue...... In short, you can come as ruthless as you want. I'm going to see who can keep going, for such a filthy and vile, that's the price they have to pay! β
Niu Yanfang's face was pale, her bloodless lips were equally pale, and the corners of her eyes and mouth twitched constantly, and the source of these changes was not pain, but deep fear.
She felt that she had been exposed, not just stripped of her clothes, but stripped of her skin, exposing all the secrets of her heart directly to the sun.
Tianhao's order is not over yet.
His indifferent voice was like a machine: "Burst Teeth, take her to the square outside, and set up the execution table on the spot." This king approves you to use a special secret potion, smash her bones, and then Ling Chi, so that she can live on the torture table for at least a month. Want to die...... Hmph, it's not that simple! β
"No, you can't." For the first time in her life, Niu Yanfang had a terrifying horror. She struggled desperately, her body twisted so much that she almost broke her shoulder from the hands of the strong pig infantry: "I didn't do it, the death of the great master really has nothing to do with me." I promise, I swear to the gods! β
The scream was so terrible that Yuan Meng hurriedly raised his hand to stop Mengjia, who was turning around and walking out, and hurriedly stopped: "Wait first." β
He then turned to Tianhao and shouted, "Ah Hao, don't be in such a hurry, this matter has to be discussed in the long run." β
Tianhao slowly turned around, stared at him with cold eyes, and asked, "Which side are you on?" β
Yuan Meng was so choked by him that he couldn't speak for a while, held it for five seconds, and finally sorted out his thoughts, with a little anger, and replied very reluctantly: "It's not a question of which side you're on." You have to take care of the face of the royal family! β
"Face?"
Tian Hao let out an arrogant laugh: "Since you talked about "face", then let me ask you, who is responsible for those orders issued by the first king who has been in power for decades? β
Yuan Meng didn't notice the trap in his words, and subconsciously opened his mouth and said: "Of course he is a great master, and he is responsible for everything." β
"Yes! The Great Power Teacher ......"
Tianhao put away his smile, and his mood became calm again: "Whether it is government affairs or military affairs, he handles all the big and small things. From the ethnic policy to the people's clothing and eating, he tried his best to help the first king, and he was the real hero of the entire Niu clan. β
"He's very hard, all year round, with little time to rest. Either in Pointe-Noire to deal with government affairs, or to inspect between the various walled cities to solve problems. If you don't have enough food, you have to ask him for it, and if you don't have clothes to wear, you can only ask him to settle it, and you have to deal with all kinds of disputes within the clan...... is dozens of years old, and he is so busy every day that he can't even take care of his family. β
"If you think about it again, is there anyone who is still busy outside all day at this age? Tell me for yourselves, what are you trying to do if the great master is so tired? β
"The face of the royal family...... How nice it sounds! It is said that the first king was wise and powerful, but I have never seen it. You all know my origin, the Rock Village is very small, and then it has developed into the Rock City step by step. When I was a village leader, the great master came to Panshi Village and helped me. Maybe this seems normal to you, but why don't you want to think about it, the people who came to Panshi Village at that time were great teachers, not the first kings? β
"Let's talk about the two princes. Niu Weizhan is a warrior on the surface, but in fact, his ability is average. The vast majority of the so-called "great military exploits" were skirmishes, not to mention the siege of the city and the extermination of the clan, and even the captured booty was pitiful. β
"Niu Weifang's ability is mediocre, and his biggest advantage is that he is self-aware and knows how to listen to opinions. However, its ability to govern is very questionable. β
The room was silent, except for Niu Yanfang, who was half dead, everyone listened with bated breath. The soldiers and guards felt that Tianhao had a point, and a lot of it was said in their hearts. On the contrary, the patriarchs of the other branches, including Yuan Meng and the Sect Domain, were dripping in a cold sweat when they heard it, and some thoughts and a sense of crisis that they had never had before were firmly rooted in the depths of their minds from this moment.
The corners of Niu Lingxiao's eyes kept twitching, standing in the position of the opponent, he wanted to open his mouth to reprimand, but he couldn't find evidence in his favor, so he could only make an unwilling shout: "You...... You are slandering. β
Tian Hao stared at him suddenly, his eyes condensed with thunder that could erupt at any time, and let out a disdainful sneer: "What are you anxious about, things have to be dealt with one by one, and when the murderer of the Great Master is publicly executed, this king will disclose what he just said to the people of Black Corner City, let them judge and see if I am slandering!" β
Niu Zhenfeng, the patriarch of the bull tribe, who had not spoken, couldn't hold back any longer: "She is the royal daughter, you must give enough respect to the royal family." β
"She killed the Great Master!"
Tianhao completely overshadowed Niu Zhenfeng with a thunderous reaction and volume: "She killed the most respectable person in the world." β
Niu Zhenfeng was enraged, although the strength of the Bull Department was weak, he was also a patriarch after all, and under the anger, his brain also became fanatical and not so rational: "It is a recognized fact that the status of the royal family members is higher than that of the national teacher. β
Tianhao directly locked on Niu Zhenfeng with a cold gaze, stared firmly at his young and unyielding face, stepped forward, and strode over.
Yuan Meng had a bad premonition in his heart, he hurriedly took a step sideways, blocked in front of Tianhao, and dissuaded him angrily and urgently: "Ah Hao, don't be like this, Zhenfeng, he has no malicious intent." β
Tianhao stood in front of Yuan Meng like an iron tower, his gaze moved down, and his voice was low: "Everyone here heard that he shielded the murderer and slandered the great master. β
After a pause, Tianhao asked more and more coldly, "Which side are you on?" β
