Chapter 46: Back to the Ghost Tower
Although the northern desert is vast, many places are occupied by deserts and Gobi, which cannot meet people's daily needs, so people basically do not set foot here, but choose to build towns near lakes and rivers.
Partridge Mountain is located in the northern part of the Wolf Rock Gobi Desert. No one would have thought that the interior of its huge mountain had already been hollowed out and built into a nine-story mountain castle! This is the famous ghost building!
At this time, the weather is cold, and the Gobi is even worse, dripping into ice. But on the top floor of the castle, in one of the most marginal rooms, it was warm and tight!
The interior of the house is simply furnished, with a bed, three large stoves, and a cupboard. An unconscious old woman was lying on the bed.
Her face was haggard, her lips were purple, and her figure was thin, and if you took off her clothes, you would see at a glance the scars all over her body, which were obviously injuries from a long time ago.
Yan Beiting sat silently on the edge of the bed, with a sad aura lingering all over his body, and his hands were on the woman's hands.
"Mother, will you wake up and see your son?" There was a cry in his voice, "You tell your son, who was the person who imprisoned you back then?" Isn't it...... He?! ”
The world says that the king of war lost his mother at the age of five, but what no one knows is that the fire was just a cover-up, and his mother did not die, but was imprisoned in a dark place, tortured every day.
Originally, he also thought like the world, but by chance, he actually heard from Yan Beiyun's mouth that his mother was probably not dead!
Since then, he has been secretly searching. Maybe God saw that he was too lonely alone, or maybe he couldn't bear to suffer this inhuman torture from a weak, delicate, kind-hearted woman like his mother, and finally let him find her eight years ago!
But when he saw someone in that dark dungeon, he almost wanted to be a demon for a moment!
In the foul and filthy chamber, the mother's hands, feet, waist, and throat were locked with chains made of cold iron, and the other end of the chain was embedded in the wall.
She lay on the ground dying, scarred and unclothed, and the flesh on her wrists and ankles had been worn away by chains, revealing the white bones inside. Around her were pools of mottled blood, some of which had dried up, while others were still steaming, presumably just outflowing.
For a moment, he was at a loss, and he didn't know what to do!
Stretched out his hand to pinch off the chains one by one, and gently picked up his mother, running the power in his body to the extreme, and quickly returned to the ghost building. After the life water was healed with all his might, he returned to the place where he had taken most of his mother's life.
He searched all the corners and dug into the ground, but he didn't find any clues. searched three times in a row, and finally only caught three men.
To this day, in the dungeon of the ghost building, they are still howling in pain.
And the day my mother rescued her has not woken up until now.
Shui Yi said that she was severely beaten, her internal organs were seriously damaged, and because of long-term hunger, her stomach was also broken, and she suffered a heavy blow under her body, and her pelvic bone was broken......
Shui Yi also said that if he wants to save her life, he can still do it, but if he wants to cure her, unless the gods come to the world!
This guarantee is eight years!
His heart was like a knife, full of despair, and Yan Beiting quietly shed tears.
"Mother, Erchen fell in love with a woman, but she is from Dongli Kingdom. Erchen and her met by chance, and at that time, Erchen snatched something from her hand. He rubbed his face in the crook of his arm a few times, and raised his head with a tearful smile in his eyes, "Hehe, you must not know what she did afterwards!" It is said that Dongli's woman is gentle and generous, but she is an exception! She actually set up a trap for Erchen and snatched Erchen's things! Haha, isn't it a surprise? ”
"Mother, she's really nice! When I'm free, Erchen will bring her to show you! ”
Endured his sadness, he pulled the corner of the quilt for his mother and left the room, but he didn't notice that the fingers of the person on the bed moved twice!
At the corner of the stairs, Shui Yi was waiting there, and when he saw Yan Beiting, he took the initiative to report the situation: "Master, I'm afraid that Concubine De's body is ...... At most, one year or as little as three months, the master needs to prepare as soon as possible! ”
Yan Beiting closed his eyes in pain, this was the result he had thought of a long time ago, but his heart was still painful!
His hands were clenched, his face was like frost, and a cold light shot out of his eyes: "Those few people still don't move?" ”
"Yes, perhaps...... They really don't know...... After all......" Shui Yi hesitated a little.
"Then add all the punishments again! Add until they confess! Yan Beiting was full of anger. If it weren't for those few people who were still useful, he would have chopped them into meat sauce a long time ago!
Shui Yi frowned secretly: "Master, they are already dying, if they are punished again, I am afraid that it will kill them!" We'll be in vain! ”
Suppressing the anger and hatred in his heart, Yan Beiting turned around and went downstairs. The two of them went straight to the bottom of the ghost building.
Pressing the mechanism, with a "boom", the door opened, and suddenly a rancid smell and blood wafted out.
Shui Yi glanced at Yan Beiting, but Yan Beiting just frowned, and then raised his feet and walked in.
Eight years have passed, and the three of them are no longer human! He was tied to a pillar, his skin was open, and his body was covered with bruises.
"Kill me! Kill me...... Kill me! ”
"I don't know! I don't know anything...... Kill us! ”
……
Voices sounded one after another, and Yan Beiting smiled cruelly: "Kill you?" Hehe, wouldn't that be too cheap for you! Then the voice changed, "But...... If you tell me who is behind the scenes, this king can consider giving you a good time, how about it? ”
There was a hint of hesitation in the eyes of one of them, but it was quickly replaced by firmness: "I said ......" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the other two.
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
At this point, everyone knows that the matter has been revealed! Except for the one who wanted to confess, the other two were all pale and desperate!
"Hehe, you say! As for the other two......" Yan Beiting turned his head to look at them and did not speak.
The other two glanced at each other, and both saw the compromise in each other's eyes.
That's it! So far, no matter whether they recruit or not, they can't live anymore, and it is a kind of happiness to be able to die happily!
Now that you've made up your mind, there's nothing to hide. The three of them poured beans like beans on a bamboo tube, telling everything they knew. At first, you may not know where to start, but in the end, it becomes smoother and smoother.
"The person who commanded us is the emperor!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"Eight years ago, the old and the new dragon guards were replaced, and the three of us, as candidates for the dragon guard, were called aside by the emperor alone for questioning. I thought it was just an ordinary test and inquiry, but in the end, I was given a task by the emperor. ”
