Chapter Twenty-Three: The Temptation of Beauty
Yeluyan looked at the young prisoner, who was thin and thin, dressed as a weak scholar. It was difficult to see the strength of this young man from the outside, the punishment he received was far beyond the capacity of his thin body, and he remained silent under such torture, which made Yeluyan have to look at him with admiration.
What kind of force is sustaining him? He can bear the pain and not want to reveal the slightest bit of information.
"Smack!" is the crisp sound of the leather whip in the air, and the man who was just woken up by the cold water on the opposite side couldn't help but shudder when he heard the sound of the leather whip. If he had known that Nati's whipping had once killed a sturdy slave girl with just a dozen strokes, the man's fear might have been even deeper.
Nati was a specially trained professional executioner, he knew every weakness of the human body, he knew how to maximize the pain sensation without dying, and he always controlled it well. Pain, but let people live, let people live, in order to get more pain, this point should be the most experienced by the tortured man at this moment, but unfortunately, he was unable to express it, just looked at Nati's sturdy body contemptuously, and the corners of his mouth showed a sneer with all his strength.
"You'd better kill me! Otherwise, if I return to the Wushuang Kingdom, the regent will definitely seek justice from you, the Wuyang Kingdom, on my behalf." The man shouted as hard as he could.
Yeluyan raised her hand to stop Nati's movements, and smiled gently: "Why are you so sure that the peerless regent will mobilize the people for you? Do you think your identity is so important? Or, you were originally a spy who infiltrated Wuyang and wanted to start a war between the two countries and provoke trouble." ”
The man sneered, coughed hard, the pain all over his body made him frown, and it took a long time to slow down and say, "Hehe...... Do you think that everyone is as belligerent as you are?Who indiscriminately punished a guest from afar......? If he knew I was coming, he wouldn't have done this to me. ”
The pain did not disturb the man's thoughts, his mind was clear, his words were rigorous, and there were no loopholes at all.
Yeluyan slowly approached the man, and Wei smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
The man gave her a contemptuous look and looked away indifferently, apparently disdainful of confronting her. Suddenly, the man frowned in pain, breathed hard and hard, his shackled hands clenched into fists, all his muscles tensed rapidly, and even trembled slightly. This is obviously due to the effect of the pain, and the culprit of the pain is the graceful woman in front of her, Yeluyan grinned and grasped one end of the soldering iron, the other end was firmly attached to the man's shoulder, the cloth quickly rose green smoke, and the air was mixed with the smell of burnt human flesh, which was disgusting.
Yeluyan still looked at the man's pained expression with a smile on her face, as if she was admiring a poignant picture.
Finally, she exhaled softly, threw the soldering iron aside, raised her hand and gently patted the man's pale face, and asked in a low voice, "What's your name?"
The man gasped for breath, the pain made him lose the strength to scold, and he could only barely express his anger and disdain with his eyes. Nati snorted and said rudely: "General Yelu, this kid is still underwhelmed, let me serve him, I will make him regret stepping on our land of Wuyang." Rest assured, I'll let him take his last breath and say what we need. ”
Yeluyan was not discouraged, she squinted at Nati, her gaze was fierce, and the rude man couldn't help but hang his head.
"The Queen Mother asked me to deal with it. ”
"Yes!"
"Let's all get out!"
"Yes!"
There were only two of them left in the torture chamber, and the man looked up with difficulty, looking at the woman in front of him with some confusion, he didn't know what new tricks the other party was going to play. He knew their dirty purpose, so he made up his mind to protect that person no matter how much he suffered.
Yeluyan smiled even more charmingly, she stretched out her hand to the braid on the top of her head, slowly untied the braid ribbon, and her long black hair was spread out, which made her look more free and moving, with a wild charm. The man was puzzled, did the other party want to make a beauty trick on him?
In confusion, something suddenly appeared in his mouth, and before he could react, the other party had quickly pinched his throat and forced him to swallow.
"You, what did you eat for me, this demon girl?" the man was horrified and desperately tried to vomit, but unfortunately he couldn't get his wish.
Ye Luyan smiled and said: "I used to learn a secret technique from my father, which can control people's souls, let them tell the deepest secrets in their hearts, and they will not keep it at all, what I gave you just now is the medicine that allows me to control you." This is my first time using it!
She pursed her mouth slightly, and her playful appearance looked like a coquettish little girl, but this "cute" look in the man's eyes was undoubtedly the most terrifying face in the world. He tried his best to resist the feeling of drowsiness that kept coming over him, but his eyelids grew heavier and heavier, completely uncontrolled by his consciousness.
"Tick tock, tick tock!" his consciousness stayed on the sound of the eaves of the dripping roof, although a trace of confusion flashed in his heart, such as "how can there be the sound of the eaves of the dungeon here", but he still couldn't resist the temptation of tiredness, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Tick-tock!" Yeluyan gently shook her fingers in front of the man's eyes, her mouth mimicking the sound of water droplets, slow and low.
When the man lowered his head, Yeluyan's expression became more serious, and she asked softly, "You, what's your name?"
Silence, a moment of silence, a low, dream-like voice rang out from the torture chamber.
"Jiang--Yu--Tang!"
"What did you come to Wen Kuoer in Wuyang Kingdom from Wushuang for?"
"Look--sick!"
Yeluyan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who do you want to see?"
"King-Queen!"
"Who told you to come and see the queen?"
Jiang Yutang suddenly twisted his body a little irritably, as if his instinctive consciousness was resisting something. Yeluyan groaned slightly, and immediately changed his statement, and said: "I know you don't like to say, it doesn't matter if you don't like to say, let me ask you, you just need to shake your head or nod your head, okay?"
"Okay!" Jiang Yutang unconsciously dragged out his tone.
"Then let me ask you if Duanmu Hao asked you to come to see Zhuang Meiyan?"
Jiang Yutang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"Then did he ask you to bring any gifts to Zhuang Meiyan?"
Jiang Yutang shook his head slowly, only shook it for a moment, and then nodded immediately.
Ye Luyan's eyes finally showed a fierce color, she narrowed her eyes, and continued to ask in a gentle voice, "What is the gift? A very special gift that you don't want others to know? The gift was hidden by you, right?"
There were many and complicated questions, Jiang Yutang obviously resisted, his brows were constantly wrinkled, his eyelids were moving, and he looked like he would open his eyes at any time.
Ye Luyan smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, you will say it, I have enough time to wait for the medicine to really work." ”
The sun is gradually setting in the west, and the autumn afternoon is so peaceful and peaceful, after afternoon tea, the sun's rays have subsided, and the air has become cold.
The atmosphere in the queen's tent was a little tense, and they obviously did not follow the custom of the Wuyang nobles, snuggling up to the warm and comfortable low couch to enjoy the quiet afternoon tea time. Zhuang Meiyan sat on the couch with a solemn face, the snow kite Chunju and the others who were standing on the side looked panicked, and Suna on the other side was still able to maintain her composure, but her face was solemn, and there were no other female slaves in the tent, only the four of them.
"Tell me, Suna, what's going on?" Zhuang Meiyan said slowly.
Suna stroked her chest and said, "We are worried about your body, queen, so we asked the cousin of the snow kite girl to rush back to the Wushuang Kingdom overnight and go to the regent's palace to invite the Jiang Divine Doctor over. ”
Zhuang Meiyan's fierce gaze swept over the three of them, the snow kite couldn't hold it, knelt on the ground with weak knees, and wept: "It's the slave's fault, it's not about Aunt Suna's business, it's the slave and the maid who make the decision without permission." At that time, the queen's situation was critical, and the slave maid was anxious and told her cousin, who was also an anxious child, and went to the peerless country overnight. The slave thought that this was a good thing, so she did not report it to the queen. ”
Zhuang Meiyan sighed slowly and said: "I know this is your good intentions, but you crossed the border without authorization to invite back a Wushuang, have you ever received the permission of the lord of the country? Have you ever thought about it, Wushuang has been sending additional troops and horses on the border of Qiyang, and the situation between the two countries is about to erupt, and it is easy to cause misunderstanding by bringing people over at this time." ”
"Moreover," Zhuang Meiyan sighed again, and said, "Wen Kerr is more than two thousand miles away from Feng'an City, the road is rugged and difficult to walk, and it takes seven or eight days for fast horses to come and go, and it only took them less than three days to return to Wen Ker, what does this mean?"
Zhuang Meiyan glanced at them deeply, and said indifferently: "It shows that Xue Kite's cousin did not return to Feng'an City at all, and the biggest possibility is that he met Jiang Yutang in Qiyang Town, and Jiang Yutang will never appear in Qiyang Town alone for no reason." ”
"You mean, Lord He--" Snow Kite turned pale.
Chunju saw Zhuang Meiyan angry, and also knelt down, and persuaded politely: "Queen, don't be angry, your body is important." The slave and maid are also at fault in this matter, and the slave and maid also advised the snow kite girl to think of a way as soon as possible, and the snow kite is also for the sake of the queen's health, so she will lose her sense of proportion. Asking a doctor to come and treat you is not a big deal in the end, so it is better for you to talk to the lord of the country, and I believe the lord of the country will be considerate. ”
Zhuang Meiyan took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Where are the people now?"
