Chapter 225: Interrogation
In the secret room, Choi was hung from an iron chain.
There was a look of pain on that beautiful face. Her eyes were glazed and her lips were chapped, and she looked in pain.
A man across from her was whipping her. Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Whip after whip, beating her skin open.
"To say or not to say? To say or not to say? How many of you are there? Who sent you? What are you trying to steal? Say it! The man asked as he punched.
Choi snorted, and as he whipped as many times she whipped her, she cried weakly. The man was merciless, and the whip had barbs on it, and with each swing of the whip, the barbs hooked up some flesh.
Meng Yuxuan and Ye Seventeen watched at the door for a long time. The woman looked delicate, but she didn't expect to be able to carry it like this. Her delicate skin had been beaten beyond recognition, and she still didn't say a word.
The man was tired and stopped to rest. When he saw Meng Yuxuan, he hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen Madame." ”
Night Seventeen opened the door, and Meng Yuxuan walked in. She looked at Cui Shi who was hanging there and smiled, "Auntie, how did you become like this?" ”
Cui Shi heard Meng Yuxuan's voice and opened his eyes weakly. She grinned, revealing her bloody teeth, and said, "Don't you want to ask anything out of my mouth, I won't say it." ”
Meng Yuxuan said coldly: "Really? That's embarrassing. I might do something disrespectful to my aunt. My aunt had to hold back and never call out. After all, you are such a beautiful beauty, if you call it too ugly, it will really affect your image. ”
Meng Yuxuan said, shoving a pill into his mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth, and Cui Shi didn't have a chance to spit it out. It didn't take long for Cui Shi to feel as if there were countless insects crawling in his body. It was itchy, and every part of her body was so itchy, but she couldn't scratch it. She looked at Meng Yuxuan painfully and said, "Kill me!" ”
"I'm not going to kill you." Meng Yuxuan sat on the stool that Ye Seventeen had moved, looked up at her, and smiled: "I don't like to kill. ”
"Isn't what you did more cruel than killing someone?" Choi glared at her angrily. "If you have the ability, you will kill me!"
"You can't me off. I'm not going to kill you. What's the benefit of killing you? Meng Yuxuan stared at her. If you say everything I want to know, I'll give you an antidote. ”
Cui Shi is desperate and ready to bite his tongue and kill himself. However, just as she was about to bite down, Seventeen stopped her acupoint. Her eyes widened and she looked resentfully at the few people opposite.
Choi couldn't move, but the poison was still running in his body. She was in pain, but she couldn't even scream now. The pain was worse than being stabbed several times at the same time.
Meng Yuxuan saw that the time was almost up. She said to Cui, "If you're willing to cooperate, wink." ”
Cui Shi just wants to be free now, and he doesn't want to think about anything else. She blinked quickly.
Night Seventeen unlocks her acupuncture.
As soon as Cui Shi was relieved, he hurriedly said: "The person who instructed us is ......"
Before she finished speaking, she saw a person appear at the door and shoot the hidden weapon in her hand at her. Flutter! The secret weapon hits Cui's heart. Cui Shi swallowed his breath like this.
Her eyes were full of relaxed smiles before she took her last breath. In her opinion, speaking out is death, and not saying it is death. That's good now. She finally didn't have to be tortured anymore.
The person who used the secret weapon killed Cui Shi and left immediately. Night Seventeen chased him out. Meng Yuxuan stood up, lifted Cui's clothes, and examined her body. Especially the secret weapon that assassinated her, looking at the workmanship and the pattern on it, it was a little special, giving her a strange feeling.
Choi has a pattern on his back. It was a flower, like a rose. She didn't know what this generation didn't mean.
There were several bottles of medicine on Cui's body, most of them were healing pills, and only one bottle was poison. In addition, a hidden weapon was also found. It was a dart with a rose motif on it.
"Rose...... It seems that it is appropriate to inquire about who likes to mark with a rose pattern. Meng Yuxuan muttered to herself.
The man who tortured the Cui family just now saw that she was dead and asked, "Madam, what to do with this person's body?" ”
"Let's keep it for now! Night and night and two came back and handed it over to them. Meng Yuxuan took one last look at Cui Shi and left the place where the miasma was smoky.
In the courtyard, Ye Ye Ye Er knelt there with the remaining dozen or so secret guards. Each of them was wounded, but at this time they did not care about healing, but knelt there and pleaded guilty.
"Go back and rest!" Meng Yuxuan said: "You have done your best, I know. ”
"But let her escape, what about the little master's poison?" That's why the guards chased after them even if they didn't want their lives. They want to catch those people so that they can save a few little masters. Now that no one has been caught, their hearts are very uncomfortable. After all, the lives of those many brothers were sacrificed for the safety of a few little masters.
"There's a chance next time." Meng Yuxuan is also very uncomfortable, but what can she do now? The Dark Guards have done their best. Even if she wants to blame, she should be blamed for her incompetence.
Only Night Nineteen has not returned. Ye Nineteen said that Tang Yu was good at disguise techniques. Now let's see if the good news can be brought back from Night Nineteen.
The night was long. The patriarch of the Wu clan was unconscious, and Meng Yuxuan had to take care of this person's safety first. After all, he was the last hope for several children.
The study in the space has been in a few times. The book went blank. She didn't know if she was using it too much and relying too much on space, or if she really didn't know how to detoxify.
In such a wait, Shangguan Huan returned with tens of thousands of soldiers. They fought a great victory, slaughtering the enemy one after another, and only a few tens of thousands of the enemy's 500,000 men remained. Even if the emperor still wanted to attack them, he would not be able to recruit troops and horses in a short time. Besides, with this dismount, if they want to make another move, they have to take into account their own strength.
"Xuan'er, I'm back." As soon as Shangguan Huan entered the mansion, he immediately looked for Meng Yuxuan's figure.
Meng Yuxuan stood at the door, waiting for him to return. She looked at him, raised a big smile, and said, "Are you hurt?" Go back and show me. ”
"Don't worry. I'll arrange the brothers first, and then I'll come back so you've seen enough. "Shangguan Huan didn't know about the accidents of several children. Meng Yuxuan didn't want him to worry as soon as he came back, so she raised a smile.
When Shangguan Huan arranged for those soldiers to come back, Meng Yuxuan had already prepared a table full of meals waiting for him. Shangguan Xi helped set the dishes and chopsticks.
"Daddy." Shangguan Xi saw Shangguan Huan standing at the door and hurriedly greeted him. "Dad, I'm worried about the death of the child."
Shangguan Huan looked at Shangguan Xi and said lovingly: "Silly boy, I'll be fine." Don't you know your father's skills? ”
"Come and eat! Xi'er, don't pester your father. When he is tired, let him eat and drink enough, then let him sleep, and then your father and son will talk well. Meng Yuxuan said gently.
Shangguan Xi pulled Shangguan Huan to the table. Shangguan Huan looked around and said suspiciously, "What about Lin'er and her daughter?" ”
"Your daughter is going out to play, and Hui Ling takes her to watch the flowers and plants in the yard. Lin'er is also the time of the skin, and the girls have already fed him just now, and they are also playing. Meng Yuxuan was in a heavy mood, and she was a little gloomy when she mentioned them.
Shangguan Huan was rough and didn't notice her abnormality. Shangguan Xi saw her reaction in his eyes. He took Meng Yuxuan's hand and asked her silently.
Shangguan Xi didn't know his body yet. The guards knew the situation, but wouldn't tell her. Meng Yuxuan wouldn't tell him. Therefore, he didn't know why Meng Yuxuan was worried. ’
Hearing that the two children had eaten enough, Shangguan Huan was no longer polite. He sat down at the table and feasted. Shangguan Xi and Meng Yuxuan both served vegetables for her.
At this time, Night Nineteen came back to his life. When he saw Shangguan Huan coming back, he stood at the door and didn't dare to enter the door.
When Meng Yuxuan saw him, she immediately stood up.
Shangguan Huan and Shangguan Xi looked at her at the same time.
"I'll ask Nightnineteen to help me find someone, you guys eat! I'm going to ask about the situation. Meng Yuxuan said to the father and son.
"Let him come in and say. I'm back, and there are some things that you can't take on alone. Shangguan Huan wiped the corners of his mouth. My royal brother didn't do it again so quickly. After all, he just suffered a defeat, and neither the people's will nor the army's will is with him. We have time for other things. As for the soldiers' pensions and rewards, I will distribute them one by one. ”
"Since you still have so many things to deal with, I'll leave the other little things to me. You don't have to listen, you get annoyed when you listen. Meng Yuxuan smiled lightly.
The more Meng Yuxuan was like this, the more Shangguan Huan realized that something was wrong. What is usually there, even if he is not needed, Meng Yuxuan will not avoid it like this. The more she avoided it, the more she was afraid that something big would happen.
Shangguan Huan is not a fool. Usually he can pretend to be deaf and dumb, but it doesn't mean that he is really deaf and dumb. At this time, what Meng Yuxuan concealed made him suspicious, he looked at her nervous appearance, and couldn't bear to force her. He thought for a moment and sighed, "Then listen to you." If there's anything you can't handle, leave it to me. ”
Meng Yuxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly responded and said, "Then I'll listen to what he has to say first." ”
Meng Yuxuan walked into the courtyard with Ye Nineteen.
Ye Jiu knelt down and said to Meng Yuxuan: "I was about to find the woman, but Wu Feng found his subordinate at this time, and the subordinate fought with him for a while, and the woman ran away.
"They're still in town." Meng Yuxuan said: "Without getting something, it is impossible for them to leave. As long as the contents of the storeroom are there, we still have a chance to catch them. ”
"Did Madame go to see the storeroom? What is there there that is worth the trouble they have so much trouble with? Night Nineteen asked.
"This ...... I haven't gone to see it yet. Meng Yuxuan was annoyed. She had forgotten such an important matter. "You can rest first! I'll take care of the rest. ”
The breeze was blowing in her hair. In this hot season, such a gust of wind is really timely.
Meng Yuxuan stood in front of the window, watching the wind outside swaying the leaves. She closed her eyes, feeling the coolness of the breeze, and at the same time, the heat in her heart calmed down a little.
Shangguan Huan hugged her waist from behind. He rested his head on her shoulder and said, "What are you thinking?" ”
"You must be exhausted during this time." Meng Yuxuan smelled that he had just taken a bath. His hair was still dripping. "I'll wring it for you."
"No need, I'll do it in a while." Shangguan Huan let go of her hand and looked at her gently. "Xuan'er, you have something on your mind. Can't even I say it? ”
"It's not that you can't say it, it's that you don't know how to say it." Meng Yuxuan lowered her eyes and said, "You were born and died outside, and I can't even do a little thing." I'm really useless. ”
"Silly girl, who said that? If it weren't for you, how would this place be built? If it weren't for you, how would we have lasted so long? You drew all those weapons. Shangguan Huan held her face and looked at her seriously. What's going on? You name it, and we'll figure it out together. ”
"The woman I mentioned last time is the woman named Tang Yu, she is good at Gu poison. While I was busy running the City of Hope, she poisoned our children. Meng Yuxuan hung her head and said, "Of the three children, none of them survived. Xiao Nannan found it early, and the Gu poison was exactly what I could cure, so I rescued it. I couldn't help the other two children. ”
Shangguan Huan heard her choking sound, and he was immediately distressed. He hugged her tightly and said softly, "I'm here, don't be afraid." Let's figure it out together. ”
"I thought the Wu clan patriarch could help, but he was not good at Gu poison, saying that only by catching that woman could he completely solve it. But I let her run. Meng Yuxuan said sadly.
"I came to report at night just now, but I didn't find the woman?" Shangguan Huan asked.
"Hmm. The woman was good at disguise, but she let her run away after all. What to do? As soon as she runs, what will happen to the children? Meng Yuxuan said worriedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't take care of them." ”
"You are not a god, and you can't solve everything. It's normal for you to be so busy during this time that you're negligent with your children. I'm worried right now, but I can't blame you for that. Shangguan Huan looked at her gently. So, stop thinking about those things. I'll find a way to find the woman. ”
"She wanted to steal something from our house. Last time I interrupted the plan and didn't take anything with me. I think they'll come back. Meng Yuxuan sniffed, controlled her emotions, and calmly analyzed the situation for Shangguan Huan. She explained the ins and outs of the whole matter clearly, so that Shangguan Huan understood the current situation.
Shangguan Huan listened to it, and he understood what those people meant. He also knew where these people came from.
"The rose pattern, and the way it behaves, I'm afraid it's not from our country." Shangguan Huan said: "It should be the eldest princess of our enemy country." ”
"Huh?" Meng Yuxuan was puzzled. "The princess they talked about, I thought it was Princess Hualing or Princess Ziyang, didn't it?"
"There is an eldest princess in the enemy country, who has been mysterious since she was a child, and seems to have special powers. She has been jealous of her clan since she was a child, and even her father did not dare to touch her. She never married, and she built a mysterious organization in an enemy country, which was very powerful, and sometimes took on the business of assassination. In my opinion, they should be right. ”
