This line is still smooth, because the hour is still early, the city of Kazhou has not yet fully awakened in the faint morning light, and it is still lonely until it crosses Changning Street, and when it reaches the West Market, I see the traders and people who are in the streets and alleys to make a living.

Although I wasn't worried that someone would find out about my plan to rob the Dharma Field, when I thought that Hou Ye's Lifu was also in Xishi, I had a lot of worries in my heart, and I couldn't help but lower my hood and carefully put the sword in my robe and walked quickly.

It has long been clear that the place of execution is the old Shikou street in the southwest corner of Kazhou, which is located in a remote area and rarely visited, and I don't know why Gong Hao chose such a place as the execution ground.

But I can't care about so much - that's my Shuiqing, even if they want to execute her in the palace, I will kill her in front of the palace, and live and die with me, the closest friend in this life.

Thinking like this, my steps quickened even more. I don't know if it's an illusion or whatever, but I always feel that the closer I get to the hustle and bustle of the old market, the fewer pedestrians will become, until the streets of the old market entrance, it seems that even the wind in the air has become more and more sluggish and cold.

I looked around, but I saw a field of houses in ruins, just like the rest of the streets of the West Market, and the wind blew up a layer of dusty dead branches and leaves on the ground, as if this dead and strange street had been uninhabited for a long time.

I shook my body that was gradually invaded by the cold, and continued to walk slowly towards the end of the street. However, with each step, the uneasiness in my heart increased.

As Shicai speculated, the street was flanked by lifeless and abandoned houses, and unlike the rest of the poor and dilapidated streets of the West Market, there was not even a trace of the sound or temperature of the living. The sound of the wind in his ears was sharp and piercing, like thousands of crying and wailing souls.

My heart was beating faster and faster, but my steps were getting heavier. In the blink of an eye, he had walked alone for a long time, but he still did not see any troops, not even a single officer or soldier escorting prisoners. Seeing that a few steps further was the square at the end of the alley, I couldn't help but panic. Without the sound of his own footsteps, the sound of the wind in the air became more and more shrill.

However, in addition to this gust of wind, there was still half a minute of sound in the entire old Shikou street.

It doesn't make sense, I remember very clearly, on the day of Xiaohan, at the end of the old market, Shui Qing will be personally supervised and punished by the Four Emperors. Why is there not only no one of the people who gathered around to watch the execution, but there is not even a single officer or soldier who was executed?

Suspicious, I moved forward again, slowly walking towards the square not far ahead. The moment his feet stepped out of the shadows of the street, there was a sudden gust of wind whistling behind him. I looked back in amazement, only to see a huge iron net rushing straight at me. This surprise was not trivial, the muscles in my lower abdomen suddenly tightened and there were bursts of throbbing pain, and my legs were weak in pain for a while, and I fell straight down.

The iron net was already binding my body, and the uncomfortable touch of the cold metal made me feel a wave of anger in my heart. I shouted loudly, raised my hand and pulled out the sword—where the sword flashed, the iron net was split in half.

Before he was about to get up, there was a cold stinging pain in his shoulder. When I looked down, it was a silver needle as thin as a cow's hair. Suddenly there was a commotion in the street where I had just walked, and when I looked up, I saw that a group of nearly 100 officers and soldiers rushed out of the dilapidated houses on both sides, and ran over to surround me with neat steps.

Is it a trap......

In a hurry, there was some terrible dizziness in front of me.

I shook my head violently, but I realized that I couldn't see anything around me clearly. The whole body began to twitch irrepressibly, I just wanted to get out of here immediately, and the angry dantian stood up violently, and a little more strength was added to my legs.

I danced wildly on my wrist, struggling to use the supreme martial arts of the phoenix feather in the Nine Styles of the Spirit Rhino. Those officers and soldiers were just brave and reckless, where could they parry such a sword move, and I rushed out of the formation for a while, and they made a mess.

I didn't want to fight, so I staggered back the way I came. There was a whoosh twice, and there was a stinging pain in the back. touched it with a backhand, and sure enough, two more stitches were placed in the dark. My mind was spinning, and my vision was almost completely lost, and I could only spin in vain on the spot.

The officers and soldiers besieged me again, but when they saw me dancing like crazy with their swords, they were also timid for a while, but they just dangled the steel knives around me, and did not dare to rush up and fight with me.

"Get out of the way."

A cold and sticky male voice seemed to come into the ears from thousands of miles away. When the officers and men heard of this order, they immediately took action and exited a gap in the large circle around me. But I saw a black-clad figure striding towards me. Frightened and frightened, I pointed my sword in his direction with all my might. But the man did not stop, but walked briskly, and when he came to my eyes, he suddenly flew out and kicked my sword aside.

"-You, what are you... Person? ”

The man didn't answer, but suddenly leaned over and inserted three cold silver needles into my neck. I cried out in pain, my eyes wide open and glaring at him. However, there was chaos in front of him, but he couldn't see his appearance at all.

"Take it away."

The two officers and men had to take my arm one on the left and one on the right, and the moment I got up, the world was spinning, and my mind could no longer think about anything. As soon as my eyes went black, I fell into a deep stupor.

Coma.

A basin of cold water suddenly poured straight down from the Heavenly Spirit Cover, and I sat up violently. There was a pain on his wrist, and when he looked at it, he had been firmly tied up with hemp rope, and his hands were swollen and red. And his body was damp and cold, and it was a bundle of moldy straw that spread out. In this small and empty room, it is also the only place where it can be accommodated.

"Who are you... Where is this? ”

"This is Prince Huan's Mansion."

My eyes finally adjusted to the harsh sunlight that opened the door, and I could see the silhouette of the big-shouldered man standing in front of me. He jumped forward to hit him, but was struck by the shackles around his neck, and he fell back to the ground like a lost dog and coughed repeatedly.

"Wild goods, it can be tossed better than the demon girl before." The strong man sneered and said, "After entering Prince Huan's mansion, do you still expect to escape?" ”

"I advise you to keep your mouth clean, lest the sun fall on my hands and die too miserably." I gritted my teeth and roared, "Where's Shuiqing... Where is Shui Qing? Where did you lock her up? ”

"Instead of asking her, you should care more about yourself." The strong man said contemptuously, "Dare to rob the Dharma field, and also hurt the noble body of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, it is really bold." ”

"What the Four Princes... I never met him at all. I said angrily, "Tell Gong Wei to come out to see me!" ”

With a snap, a slap was thrown in the face suddenly, and it hit me so hard that I lost my balance and fell down, and was slammed by the shackles around my neck. I couldn't care about the burning pain on my face and retching, but my heart was already extremely angry.

"Slut, if you don't look at your identity, how can you call Prince Huan's honorable name." The strong man said coldly, "But even if you are blessed, although the prince will not come to see you every chance, His Royal Highness said that when he recovers, he will also come to interrogate you in person." ”

"—what is he going to judge me, and I have not committed any crime!" I shouted at him angrily, "You rely on your power to arrest and abuse the good people at will, is there still a royal law in this city of Jiazhou!" ”

"Wang Fa? Now that the prince of my family has won the favor of His Majesty, his order is naturally the royal law! The strong man looked angry, turned his head and gritted his teeth at me and said, "You are suspicious in the first place, you intend to assassinate the Fourth Highness in the back, and you dare to pretend to be good people, you are really a shameless thief and slut!" ”

"You fart! I've never seen Gong Hao at all, let alone assassinated him? I said angrily, "If I really want to kill him, why hasn't he died?" It's even more ridiculous to say that the appearance is suspicious, but I'm just... But wandering around the city of Kashu, why did you arrest me here! ”

"You're really a good talker. If it weren't for the loyal and brave rescue of the officers and soldiers, the Four Highnesses would be afraid that they would die under your sword! The strong man kicked me hard and said, "Hang out and play... What serious family's daughter will go around in that ghostly old market without anything? Your sword is still in the palace, what else can you rely on? ”

"-I... I walk the rivers and lakes, and what is so strange about carrying a sword with me. As for why it is in the old market... It's not like you guys said that you would kill the Tail Sect rebels there today, I want to see what's wrong with it! ”

"Stupid woman, you just don't admit yourself! Ha ha! ”

The strong man raised his head and sneered, "Well, grandpa will talk to you, lest you become a fool on the road in the coming day - the old market was originally a place where the corpses of the traitors of the previous dynasty were incinerated, and no one has set foot in it for twelve years like a forbidden land. In the end, it was the clever plan of the Four Highnesses, to release the news of the killing of the rebels of the Tail Sect there, and the common people naturally did not dare to go forward to watch the execution. The only one who can show up early in the morning with a blade is the Tail Sect fellow who desperately wants to save the demon girl out! ”

"—What... Gong Hao did not execute Shui Qing? I was stunned, and then I went crazy and shouted at the strong man, "Then is she still alive?" Where did you send her? Did Gong Hao embarrass her, did he punish her? You speak! ”

"What a madman!" The strong man grabbed me back into the corner and scolded, "Your Royal Highness really didn't arrest the wrong person, just admit that you are her comrade." Grandpa has no intention of rapping with you here, if you have anything to say, you can think clearly, when you turn back to the fourth highness, you can understand it in 1510, but you can also save a lot of suffering and die happily! ”

"Where are you going to lock Shui Qing up, and how long are you going to lock her up!" I shouted hysterically, "I want to see the palace... Let me see the palace curtains! I have something to ask him face to face! ”

But the strong man didn't answer, but just squatted down and grabbed my hair, pulled me to my side, and then pulled out a hemp rope from his waist and curled it up and stuffed it into my mouth.

"It's really the same party, and the voices are all the same. The demon girl had used this trick before, and it was thanks to her grandfather that she thought of this method. The strong man clapped his hands and got up and sneered, "Grandpa will be guarding you outside tonight, if you dare to be restless, watch your tongue!" ”

The door creaked shut, and the firewood room was silent and cold again. I still lay there in a daze, letting the cold pain in my hands come from the melting of the grains of ice on the straw.

Shui Qing... Shui Qing was not executed, so where is she now? Is it really in the hands of the palace curtain and the palace guard, and if so, is it at this moment, like me, being imprisoned in some damp and dark cell in this Huan Prince's Mansion? If she was treated as a tailman, would she be tortured by them......

I wanted to scream, but the hemp rope had been inserted into the top of my throat, and every time I swallowed the rough rope, my throat ached. I was choked with tears, but I didn't dare to make a sound anymore.

I don't know how long it took to be so tormented, but I opened my eyes in a daze, only to see that it was already pitch black outside the paper window. The door was opened again, and it was still the strong man who was guarding the door, but I saw him shaking his cold body again and again, squatting down and pushing a bowl of swill in front of me, and rudely pulling out the hemp rope in my mouth with one hand.

"Eat quickly, there is news from above, and the Fourth Highness will interrogate you tomorrow morning."

I choked and retched, and my limbs were so weak from the long ice and hunger that I was lying on the filthy floor.

When the strong man saw me like this, he became more and more impatient and urged again and again. I glanced at the rice bowl, and there was a lot of filth condensed on the poor yellow pottery, and the gray and yellow porridge inside was obviously randomly scooped out of the swill bucket.

However, although it is not something for people to eat, at this moment I am so hungry that I can't care about that much. I shuddered and took the dirty bowl, took a breath, closed my eyes, and poured it down my throat. The cold filth flowing over the base of my tongue was an unbearable fishy smell, and my throat was swollen and sore earlier, so I couldn't help it for a while, so I sprayed the porridge on the strong man's body.

"Stinky!" The strong man was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up in anger, "Grandpa is really tired of seeing you!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his leg and kicked at me, and I instinctively turned around to dodge, and the strong man kicked into the air and fell to the ground. I took the opportunity to lift my foot and slam it on his head, and the strong man howled, and crawled towards me in a fit of rage. I was so shocked that I kicked my foot in front of him, and with one foot he reached out to grab my right hand, and the other was firmly against his face.

His arm was stretched out painfully, and he screamed more and more frantically. After a long stalemate, he suddenly threw his free right hand into my calf and punched me several times. I was relieved of the pain, and he broke my legs to my feet and kicked me in the leg in a rage.

My neck and hands are tied, and I haven't eaten for a day, so I can't show my supreme martial arts at this moment. I can only grit my teeth and protect my life with both hands, and let myself lie on the ground in embarrassment and be punched and kicked by a reckless man who does not use martial arts.
