The dark prison was mixed with an unpleasant stench, and several jailers sat together in groups of three or five to play homely work, they talked and laughed, and under the flickering lights, you could clearly see a large water cage behind the jailer, and a shark was tied to the chain in the cage.

"Hey, have you heard? That's the thing. One of the jailers pointed to the water cage behind him, and made a low voice, and he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I heard that it was the one that Xinguo gave to Emperor Qin." The jailer gestured with his hand as he spoke, making a gesture of 'toy'.

"Which one is that?" One of the younger jailers asked in a milky voice.

"Go, go, you kid what's the matter, go outside and guard the door!" The jailer, who was interrupted from questioning, immediately straightened his face and urged the little jailer to go out and guard the door.

The age of the jailer who questioned him was about sixteen or seventeen, and he had already passed the Ding ceremony, although he looked much younger than other jailers who had a successful family, but he was no longer a child. ”

"Hahaha, say you're small, you're still not convinced." When the other jailers heard the little jailer say this, they hurriedly laughed, and the scene became cheerful for a while.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense to you, I'll go out and guard the door." Although the little jailer didn't know what he said wrong, he felt very bad when he looked at the current state, and just as he was about to leave, the door of the prison was opened, and then a man dressed in fine silk walked in, the man was about one foot nine tall, and several dragons were tattooed on the dark red brocade on his body, and the dragon body was extended until the upper body of the man.

At this time, when the other jailers saw the comer, they were immediately frightened, and hurriedly pulled the little jailer who was still in a daze to kneel down and said, "Long live Emperor Qin." ”

Qin Luo, who walked into the prison, sat on the chair where the jailer sat before without frowning, and the few jailers who were kneeling on the ground, you look at me, I look at you, all of them did not speak.

"Is this merman okay here?" Qin Luo sat on a chair, followed by a eunuch and an imperial doctor, the eunuch held a short dagger and chiffon scarf in his hand, and the imperial doctor carried a large medicine box on his back, and the three of them were in a three-legged state, all looking at the jailers kneeling on the ground.

The jailers looked very nervous, no one replied, and the embarrassing atmosphere was finally broken by the little jailer, who plucked up the courage to say: "Back to Your Highness, everything is normal with that merman, basically he hasn't moved, and he hasn't eaten any food. ”

The little jailer's words made Qin Luo nod slightly, he tapped the table with one hand, and then said nonchalantly: "Very good, you can go out, guard the door, and don't let anyone in." ”

"Yes!" This time, several other jailers came back to their senses and accosted each other, and then walked out hand and foot, until the door in the cell was closed again, Qin Luo looked at the water cage, and at this time, the merman in the water cage had opened his eyes again.

"Your Highness, how do we take our hearts?" After everyone was gone, the imperial doctor bowed down and asked.

Qin Luo listened to the words of the imperial doctor, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then the fingers tapping on the table suddenly paused, and he said, "Fish her out and dig her raw." Before he came, he had already consulted some literature about shark people's heart.

Legend has it that the information of the mermaids is different from that of humans, their hearts are generally grown in the middle, and if they want to make a medicine, digging raw is the best way and the best way to preserve the medicinal effect.

It's just a little cruel to dig it raw......

When the father-in-law and the imperial doctor, who were still bowing down and waiting for words, heard that they were going to 'dig alive', their eyebrows couldn't help but be stunned, and then they looked at Qin Luo in unison.

"How?" Qin Luo, who was watching, raised his eyebrows and asked a rhetorical question, the imperial doctor and his father-in-law hurriedly glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "No, the minister will do it." ”

The words of the two made Qin Luo nod slightly, and then he watched his father-in-law and the imperial doctor drag the female mermaid with a large net, and the two of them worked together to pull the female mermaid out.

The female mermaid who came out of the water, although her tail was covered by a net, she still struggled very hard, and the churning fish tail was like a flower beaten by the rain, and she was in danger.

The female merman's mouth was stuffed into something before it was salvaged, and she couldn't make a sound at all at this time, and the female mermaid struggled on the ground, the water droplets splashed, and she was thrown to the ground fiercely, and the beautiful fishtail instantly fell off a few small palm-sized scales.

"Emperor, do you want to dig it directly now?" After the father-in-law threw the female mermaid to the ground again, he turned his head and asked the man sitting in the seat, Qin Luo's eyes were deep and indifferent, he directly picked up the knife he had prepared before, got up and walked in front of the female merman, he looked at the female merman condescendingly, his eyes were full of indifference.

At this moment, he looked at her, not like a living life, but a dead fish.

"Woo woo woo woo ......" The female mermaid looked at Qin Luo's approach, the resentment on her face was a little less, but a little more fear, she instinctively wanted to retreat.

"Catch her." Qin Luo took the knife and approached directly in front of the female merman, the female merman looked at Qin Luo, but this time she couldn't go back anymore, because her arms were completely held by the imperial doctor and her father-in-law who were present.

The female mermaid looked at the two middle-aged men beside her who couldn't move, and finally looked at the man who was already close at hand, Qin Luo.

Qin Luo looked at the female merman, he watched her face from the initial struggle to the fear in the later stage, to the current despair, he looked at her like a plaything.

"It's ready." Qin slightly squatted down, compared the tip of the knife to the heart of the female merman, and then leaned on her ear and asked softly, in fact, aside from anything else, this female merman's face is considered to be superior, especially at this moment, there is a threat to her life, her expression is pitiful, like a thin cat, with a desire to pity.

It's a pity that Qin Luo didn't have any mercy on her, he didn't think about it, he directly pierced the dagger through the heart of the female merman, and then picked it out very skillfully, the place where the dagger was inserted was just near the heart, this kind of 'raw digging' technique is extremely cruel, what to do is not to touch the heart, borrow the dagger's ingenuity to pick out the heart, once the blade touches the heart with a slight deviation, then the medicine will basically lose more than half of its effectiveness.

Before Qin Luo came, she used the poultry in the imperial dining room to simulate 'digging raw' several times, and at this time, she picked up the knife slightly, picking out the entire heart of the female merman.

The bright red heart was wrapped in the ice box very quickly, you must know that for Qin Luo, he must come to the matter of digging up the heart in person, and he has guaranteed to get the heart that is indeed dug alive, in addition, he hopes that the fewer people will know about this matter, the better.

In just an instant, the female merman's chest was dyed red, and she looked at Qin Luo in disbelief, and her gaze fell on the ice box containing her heart.

She was covered the whole time, even if it was so painful that she collapsed, she could only emit a 'woo-woo' sound, even if she panicked, no one would care about her feelings.

"Hurry up and send it to suffer, don't delay for a moment." After Qin Luo put the merman's heart into the ice box, he turned to the side and instructed the imperial doctor who was trembling a little.

After hearing the order, the imperial doctor hurriedly took the ice box and nodded, "Yes!" Weichen went to boil the soup and sent it to the mother. The Imperial Physician took the ice box and left the cell without further pause.

After the imperial doctor left, the sun reappeared in the cell, and the fine points of light hit the female merman's face, her weak facial features appeared to shine in the sun, and the female mermaid was lying on the cell floor in danger, and the blood stains on her chest had begun to dry.

No one could have imagined that it was just a curiosity that she would take her life.

She was just curious about what kind of world would be on the other side of the sea, but she didn't expect to be caught by humans on land, and then she was watched by humans, and she was crushed from the house of the dignitaries and nobles who originally believed in the country to the Manjiang country.

Basically everyone is in charge of her fate, but no one asks what kind of fate she wants, the female mermaid suddenly fell on Qin Luo's body, at this time he was standing next to him with a cotton and linen handkerchief carefully wiping the dagger, and the father-in-law next to him had already begun to order a few jailers to carry her corpse.

Usually the vitality of the merman is extremely tenacious, and generally a merman will have a lifespan of more than a hundred years, so whether they have vitality or healing ability, they are higher than the land people, just like now, even if she has no heart now, she did not immediately dissipate consciousness.

The female mermaid knew that although she would not lose consciousness immediately, it would gradually dissipate in the coming hour.

"Wait." Qin Luo's voice came in a low voice, at this time he had finished wiping the dagger, his eyes fell on the female merman coldly, he paused and said: "I heard that the South China Sea merman has a strong vitality, remember to burn it properly for a while, and avoid the sea area." ”

"Yes, my emperor." The father-in-law who received the speech hurriedly bowed his head and responded: "Wechen will definitely deal with this." ”

"Hmm." Qin Luo listened to the words of his father-in-law, nodded slightly, and then got up and left the prison.

The female merman's last impression of Qin Luo was that he stopped at his backlit back, this land man looked so powerful and handsome, but he was also so cold and fierce.

There wasn't even a hint of human touch, the female mermaid looked at Qin Luo's back and felt that she had been dragged onto a blanket, which was full of blood and rancid stench, which should be a shroud specially used to wrap corpses.

The female mermaid shrunk in the shroud, feeling a little sick in her heart, but she could also clearly feel that her consciousness was dissipating, first touch, senses, smell...... Finally, there was her vision, which grew darker and darker, and finally turned into pitch black.

In a daze, she seemed to hear a voice, and the voice was saying:

- Shark man, as the reward of this medicine, what do you want, Lone can grant you one last wish.

- I think you die, or are you being gouged out by your loved one, and you often feel pain.

Almost without thinking, she shouted like this, her voice cold and cold, echoing in the mezzanine of consciousness.
