It flew out like a gust of wind, and disappeared behind the courtyard wall. （）

×××××××××××

In the darkroom in the deepest part of the dungeon, the air was filled with the smell of blood, cold and damp, with occasional moans and gasps.

Chu Tianmu stood at the door, glanced through the small window on the heavy iron door, and asked Jia Yi who was guarding the door: "Still no trick?" ”

Jia Yi had a little shame on his face: "Your Highness, these people should be raised by someone's family, they all have poison hidden in their teeth, no matter how we torture them, they won't say a word." （）”

Chu Tianmu glanced at Jia Yi and said lightly: "That proves that your usual torture methods are not enough!" ”

A cold sweat instantly broke out on his back: "Your Highness, it's your subordinates who are incompetent." ()" I simply admit my mistake and don't dare to say more.

"Open the door." Chu Tianmu lazily gestured.

The door creaked open, and the nine men alive and dying inside, either lying on the ground, or tied to a pillar, or chained to iron chairs, all pale and withered, and their clothes torn into strips, barely able to cover their bodies. () The exposed skin is bloodstained, and the intact flesh is barely visible.

Hearing someone come in, none of the nine people looked up, all of them lowered their heads, and the room was dull, except for the sound of rapid panting, there was no sound at all. （）

Someone had already moved in a chair and placed it behind Chu Tianmu, Chu Tianmu sat down, glanced at the audience, and provoked a cold smile on the corner of his mouth: "What kind of torture have you all tried?" ”

Jia Yi replied calmly: "There are firewood, gangs, brain hoops, supersticks, flails, whippings, tortures, needles, pepper water, and all ten fingers and hearts have been tried." （）”

Chu Tianmu snorted coldly, "Since they are so hard-mouthed that they don't even take their lives seriously, then continue, aren't you studying the palace punishment?" ”

Jia Yi hesitated a little, the palace punishment was really a little unacceptable, but when he saw Chu Tianmu's condensed eyes, he immediately nodded yes, anyway, which of the tortures used before can be on the stage?

Everyone went to prepare, although the nine black-clothed people did not say anything, but none of them were deaf, and for a while, the atmosphere in the dark room was about to freeze.

It wasn't until Jia Yi waited for the knife to come in, without saying a word, he fished the nearest one first, and finally asked meaningfully: "To recruit or not to recruit?" ”

No one answered, A nodded, the knife fell from his hand, and the blood flashed, and then a bottle of spirits was poured up, and then the tourniquet powder was sprinkled.

"Ahhh

Chu Tianmu and the guards beside him didn't move their eyebrows, and Jia Yi didn't hesitate, and said calmly: "Go on, the second one." ”

Another howl.

Still no one said anything.

"The third." Jiayi's calm voice sounded again.

"Fourth prince, I didn't expect that since you are such a vicious person, if you are a man, you will give our brother a good time, what is the point of insulting us like this?" Finally someone spoke.

The smile on the corner of Chu Tianmu's mouth was even colder and more ruthless than the Nine Shadows Lamp: "If you don't recruit, you will be next." ”

"Hmph, I didn't expect that Chu Tianmu, who is famous all over the world, the fourth prince of Chu Feng Kingdom, is such a brutal and cold-blooded person, ridiculous!" The other also spoke indignantly.
