At night, Shangguan Ran noticed movement on the roof, and then a woman flew and jumped off the eaves, she got up, put on her clothes, walked out of bed, and sat at the table to pour tea for the woman.

"Ah Xi, how is the injury on your back?"

"It's just a little injury to me, but it's a pity that he was too cunning at that time, so I couldn't take his dog's life!"

Shangguan Xi's tone was full of unwillingness, she sat down and took off her veil, picked up the tea on the table and drank it all. Under the dim candlelight, it can be seen that she has almost the same beautiful appearance as Shangguan Ran.

Shangguan Ran looked at her tired appearance, and didn't know if she had taken on any difficult tasks, and she couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart.

"Ah Xi, you were too reckless that day, why did you take the initiative to assassinate him? If you have three long and two short, you want me to ...... Fortunately, this matter was concealed by the second brother in the past, otherwise once your father knew about it, how could he easily spare you? Besides, since the emperor can come to this day, how can you solve it with an assassination?"

Shangguan Xi stood up and looked up at the window, the sky was gloomy tonight, with dark clouds pressing down on one layer, and occasionally muffled thunder flashing in the clouds.

"Father insists on sending you into the palace and lurking beside him, and I really can't refute it. But I heard that the dog emperor was cold-blooded and ruthless by nature, and the palace maids and eunuchs would be dragged and beheaded if they made the slightest mistake. How can I let you go with this kind of temperament? It's better to let me change your identity and find an opportunity to directly slash him!"

Shangguan Ran stepped forward and gently took her hand, and said softly: "This is my father's will, we can't act rashly on our own." Besides, my father has promised me that as long as you enter the palace, you don't have to go out on any more missions, and I don't have to worry about you every day. You can do what you love, you don't have to live in the dark every day, you're finally free!"

Freedom, she had almost forgotten the word existed. Everyone knows that the second daughter of the Shangguan family has the beauty of Allure, but they don't know that she also has a twin sister. Because she was destined to live in the dark and be an unknown existence from the moment she was born, she has long been used to it for so many years.

But compared to her own sister, this sacrifice she made was nothing at all.

"Brother Xiao, what should I do, he worked so hard to find an antidote for you. You trade your happiness for my freedom, do you think I can live alone and be happy?"

Shangguan Ran chuckled and reached out to pinch her face.

"Fool, you don't have to worry about me. There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, as long as I try to be the most inconspicuous one, I won't provoke anyone. As for the emperor's side, he can only take one step at a time. What's more, Xiao Han has not heard from him for a long time, and in two days it will be the day when the show girl enters the palace, maybe I won't have a chance to see him again before this, let's ...... Treat it as if you don't have a chance in this life!"

The thunder outside the window is becoming more and more ferocious, looking at the dense clouds rolling outside, I am afraid that there is a drifting heavy rain coming.

Somewhere in a remote mansion outside Shangqiu City, under this seemingly ordinary mansion, there are hidden secrets that no one knows.

The dim lights swayed in the wind, and a man in black with a lantern opened the mechanism outside the rockery, and after a stone in the middle of the rockery moved to the right, what greeted him was a staircase that stretched to the ground.

As he walked down the stairs, the space became more and more open, and he gradually realized that this was a dark prison. The further you went, the more mottled blood stained the ground became, and the damp musty smell mixed with the pungent smell of blood came to your face.

The man in black walked to the innermost room, and before he could open the door, he heard a scream coming from inside. He swallowed involuntarily and pushed open the door as if he had made up his mind.

"Master, let me ask, why haven't you confessed yet?"

As soon as he entered the torture room, his eyes were full of all kinds of torture instruments. The whip ropes and Ling Chi's knives were neatly arranged from large to small, and on the edge of the shelf where the prisoners were bound, the red iron plates that had been burned by charcoal fire crackled in the firelight.

There were also people tied to the shelves, with whip marks all over their bodies, and almost none of them were intact. His fingers were bloody from the flail, and blood continued to flow down his fingertips, falling to the ground and blossoming into scarlet flowers.

"He's really a hero, I'd like to see how long you can last?"

After the torturer carefully selected among dozens of knives, his hand rested on the most slender short knife.

"This looks good. ”

The man picked up the knife and turned sharply, stabbing the prisoner's palm with the knife, and a piercing scream instantly resounded throughout the dungeon.

The torturer was very proud of his masterpiece, and he leaned over to the prisoner and whispered, "Ouch, isn't it painful? I'm really sorry, then I'll give it to you...... Pull it out!"

As he spoke, he slowly pulled the knife out of the prisoner's hand. Blood gushed out along the surface of the knife with the movement of the knife, and the prisoner finally couldn't stand it anymore, he gritted his teeth and shouted with all his strength: "I say...... I say...... That treasure map will be sent to General Yuan Wei's mansion by our informant tomorrow afternoon...... I know that's all there is to it!"

"Didn't you have to suffer so much if you said no, what kind of loyalty do you pretend to be to me here?"

The torturer took the knife, turned around and gave the man in black a look, and the man walked out of the torture chamber with a lamp. He tied the note with the message to the pigeon and let it out, and after making sure that the pigeon was flying in the direction of the city of Shangqiu, he turned and went into the house.

The pigeon followed the route to Shangqiu City, but when passing by the attic of Banxianglou, it was stopped by a woman in green clothes.

This woman has a heroic face, and her long hair is tied up high, which shows her heroic posture even more. With a blank face, she turned and walked into the building, handing the message to the man sitting at the table.

"Young master, this is intercepted news. ”

This man who looks like a warm and moist man, but there is an indescribable fierceness in his eyes, he is Yun Yi, the owner of this half-incense building, and the woman in green clothes is his personal service Yun Hua.

"I didn't expect General Yuan Wei to be involved, it's really getting more and more interesting! You put the news back as it is, we can't startle the snake now, and someone will come to help us tomorrow morning." ”

Yunhua tied the note back in response, walked to the window and released the pigeon. The direction in which the carrier pigeon flew was the Shangguan Mansion, and the person who got the letter was Master Qin of the Shangguan Mansion, who received the news and transferred the letter to Shangguan Jingping, the servant of the Ministry of Officials.

He only glanced at it casually and said, "You can take care of it yourself." ”

Looking at the treatment is to prepare with both hands, Shangguan Jingping, an old fox, even if it is tortured, he may not believe it all. Therefore, Master Qin will still send two teams of men and horses as before, one team will secretly ambush and support, and the other team will wait for the opportunity to act, once something suspicious is found, the two teams can support each other and retreat.

It's starting to rain outside, and it's getting heavier and heavier, and I'm afraid it's not destined to be peaceful in Shangqiu City!
