Chapter 16: The Torture of a Broken Leg
"Altar master, according to the fox guard who came back, they did not find the existence of the ghost carriage and Xiao Gongzi at the joint, they repeatedly confirmed that the place and time were not wrong......
"After that, he got in touch with the ghost department, claiming that Xiao Gongzi had already been picked up, but he asked again who took him away, and they sneered."
Wang Shen, who was dressed in black and looked stronger, knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to Hu Feng.
"The subordinates are not doing their jobs effectively, and they ask the altar master to punish them."
"Wang Shen, get up, it's not your fault, and it's not about Huwei, hmph, some people have been deliberate for a long time, and if they have a plan or not, no matter how quickly you estimate, it won't help."
In the study, the candle flame flickered, illuminating Hu Feng's expression, although his tone was flat, but the back of his hand with green tendons proving his unwillingness.
"Xie Tan Master is not to blame," Wang Shen got up and hesitated, "In this way, it seems that in the carriage this morning is Xiao Gongzi, who was robbed by the rat guards first, or let his subordinates go directly to order Rat Yi to hand over Xiao Gongzi in the name of the Fa King, if he dares not to give ......"
"Wait, impulsiveness can't solve things," Hu Feng glared at him, furious, "In the name of the Dharma King, this is not known to some people to ridicule, can you use your brain to think about it....."
"Knock... Knock... Knock Knock ......"
"The altar master is a subordinate who is meticulous."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, which relieved Wang Shen's embarrassment, and Hu Feng, who was furious, also returned to his usual depth.
"Zhoumi, come in."
Zhou Mi pushed the door in from outside the door, closed the door, and saluted Hu Feng behind the desk, "Altar master, subordinates have found out." ”
"Well, then tell me what you know."
"Xiao Gongzi was indeed picked up by the people of the rat altar master first, and now he is arranged by the rat altar master in a remote courtyard close to the mountains and forests, and is completely monitored by the rat altar master's people, without the order of the rat altar master, he is not allowed to approach, and it is really difficult to get more information about Xiao Gongzi."
Zhou Mi glanced at Wang Shen, who looked a little sluggish, and continued, "However, our people still saw that the subordinates of the rat altar master looked panicked, their faces were like earth, and they hurriedly went down the mountain to ask for a doctor, so their subordinates boldly guessed that Xiao Gongzi should have been injured, and on the way back, the rat altar master estimated that he had made a big fire." ”
Hu Feng had a thoughtful look on his face.
"Xiao He, injured?"
"Why do you say that?" Wang Shen was puzzled.
"Because I found the wreckage of the carriage in the remote part of the back mountain, as well as the body of the groom and the third child."
"Okay, that rat deserves it," Wang Shen looked happy, laughed alone for a while, and suddenly shouted in surprise, "It's not good, it's not good." ”
"What's the matter," Zhou Mi seemed to be accustomed to Wang Shen's startled look, and asked rhetorically.
"This Xiao He, it's not that the Dharma King told him to entertain him well, but now that he has accepted it, he will definitely have resistance to my Holy Sect, I'm afraid that if I want to invite him to join, I will add a lot of difficulties out of thin air, damn it, this dead rat is really not enough to achieve, and there are more than failures."
Zhou Mi continued noncommittently, "There are uncertainties in inviting him to join the Holy Sect, and the difficulties themselves exist, and they will not change much because of this incident. ”
"Oh, that's okay," Wang Shen breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the contemplative Hu Feng, "If it weren't for the altar master Gu Niantong, who was a member of the Holy Sect, and kept retreating, and didn't bother with the rats, but the rats and rats intensified, pressing step by step, even the rat guards under his command stepped on our heads again and again, hateful, the resentment of the people under his hands is growing day by day, if it has been suppressed, I am afraid that it will ......."
"It's not good," Zhou Mi suddenly looked up at Hu Feng, Hu Feng was still staring at the jumping candle flame in a trance, and said, "Altar master, I'm afraid that if we don't handle it well this time, our situation will be even more dangerous." ”
"What's wrong," Wang Shen said hurriedly, always leaving half of his speech, Zhou Mi just said that it didn't matter, but now it's not good, which made him very anxious when he was full of strong muscles.
"You must know that our altar master is the person in charge of this time, and the Holy Sect only values the result, so whether Xiao He joins the Holy Sect or not, it will be a disadvantageous result for the altar master, I am afraid that he will lose the trust of the Dharma King in the altar master, and even his life will be in danger."
"What," Wang Shen exclaimed, waving his fist with a sand bowl, "What should the altar master do, or rush over to snatch Xiao He back, and then truthfully tell King Zhong Fa, it is because of Rat Yi's private actions." ”
"Don't be impatient, has that matter been investigated clearly," Hu Feng frowned to stop Wang Shen's thoughts, and asked Zhou Mi again.
"It has been confirmed, that Gongzi brother will come over in the next few days, saying that he is here to supervise the Holy Monument ceremony." Zhou Mi nodded affirmatively.
"Who are you talking about," Wang Shen asked suspiciously, and put his hands together again, making a 'click' sound, "It's rare for our altar to be selected to hold the holy monument ceremony this time, hehe, this hasn't started yet, and it is unreasonable for someone to dare to come and pick peaches." ”
Zhou Mi replied lightly, "The concubine of the Holy Venerable." ”
"What, that tandem boy, damn it, this is not clear that the Holy Venerable asked him to come down to gild, for the credit of this holy monument ceremony."
Wang Shen is really worthless for Hu Feng, not only is there a house mouse staring at him inside, but even there is a poisonous snake secretly calculating outside.
"Hehe, it's okay now, the two gentlemen get together, and there's a good show to watch."
"Altar master, we should prepare early, rat altar masters, they are all experts in intelligence exploration, they must have already known, with his thief and flattering character, it is estimated that he has already hooked up, maybe he will also use Xiao Gongzi to curry favor with that one, in this way, it will only become more and more unfavorable for us." Zhou Mi said with some concern.
"Relax, the specific purpose of the person who came here is not clear, what you said is just speculation, and it is not our turn to take care of it, the Dharma King will arrange it, as for Xiao He, Xiao Gongzi, it is not so simple, this is a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles, it may not be that Rat Yi can get benefits, let Rat Yi come to explore the way for us first."
"Altar master, I think it's better to ...... first" Zhou Mi wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Hu Feng and ordered the two of them.
"Okay, that's the end of the matter, Zhou Mi will continue to keep an eye on Rat Yi's side, and report back in time if there is something."
"Wang Shen, the Holy Monument Ceremony is about to begin, this is the top priority of the Holy Sect, even if that person does not come, you must strengthen the inspection of the manor, be vigilant, and remember to keep an eye on certain people."
"Yes," Zhou Mi replied helplessly.
"The subordinates know that this time will definitely not disappoint the altar master," Wang Shen resolutely clenched his fists and promised.
After the two retired, for a while, the study fell silent again.
Hu Feng looked at the jumping firelight again, and his hands were lying on the handle of the chair, "It's mine after all, it's mine, the self-righteous mouse also made a wedding dress for me in the end, hehe~'
The wind roared through the gaps in the carriage, the carriage trembled violently, and the things outside the carriage retreated rapidly.
Xiao He only felt that everything slowed down and quieted down, only the side edge of the pillar in front of him was in his eyes, his pupils kept contracting, and the pillar gradually expanded in front of him.
In mid-air, he kept roaring and struggling, but he couldn't do anything, he could only watch, his right leg was in close contact with the pillar, his right leg was smashed in front of his eyes, blood splattered, and the severe pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow hit again.
Such a scene, that terrifying scene, Xiao He repeated and repeated, constantly re-experiencing, constantly reincarnating, every broken leg hurt into the bone marrow, deeply impacting his mind.
"Ah~"
"Whoo~Whoo~"
Xiao He was sweating and got up from the bed, this was a lingering nightmare, gasping for breath, as if he was about to exhale all the fear that had penetrated into his mind.
Gradually, gradually, Xiao He came back to his senses, his dilated pupils slowly focused, and his mind gradually withdrew from the nightmare.
The dim paper window reveals a faint light, which is the only light source in the whole room, the black mosquito net hangs on the bed frame, and it is still fluttering as Xiao He gets up, except for the bed where Xiao He is lying, that is, a square table in front of the bed, there is no longer anything, the gray and black dilapidated wall, in the corner of the wall, a spider is still diligently weaving a web.
"Where is this, how did I come here, did I cross over again, and it is still a situation of four walls."
"Hehe, do you want to have one, 'Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi'."
Doubts are like leeches attached to bones, constantly drilling into Xiao He's mind, Xiao He covered his head, wanted to get up, went outside to check the environment, just wanted to lift his legs, didn't want a sharp pain to hit, Xiao He fell down directly and fell out of bed.
"Knock~"
"It turns out that all this is not a dream!"
Xiao He sat down on the ground, touching the injured leg that had been tied with two wooden planks, enduring the stinging pain of the wound, recalling the terrifying experience like a roller coaster, he couldn't help but shudder, he didn't want to experience it again, and couldn't help but hate everyone who brought him the death of his broken leg.
