In the dungeon of Jianmen Pass, Zhao Zili saw Li Cunzhong, in order to prevent a master like him from escaping, all the tendons and tendons have been broken, and the dantian has also been punctured, and at the same time, in order not to be heard by others, Zhao Zili has ordered in advance that no one can approach.

Sitting paralyzed in the gloomy dungeon, Li Cunzhong had lost hope of life, curled up on a wooden chair, bright red marks from the iron chains wrapped around his body, and the wounds were still bubbling with blood.

Seeing Zhao Zili coming, he was not afraid, just smiled, and said: "Don't bother, prince, although the criminal minister is a small person, he also knows the word loyalty." ”

"Your loyalty should be to your father and not to anyone else."

Li Cunzhong was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect Zhao Zili to speak so sharply, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"This king didn't plan to ask anything, it's just a trick of my two good brothers, it's just that if you kill three of this king's subordinates, you have to pay for your life." Zhao Zili looked at him expressionlessly, his expression was like an iceberg that would not be spent for ten thousand years, and the people who watched it felt cold down their spines.

Li Cunzhong didn't expect Zhao Zili to be so terrifying, swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "The prince also killed my five hundred brothers, isn't it enough?" ”

"Of course it's not enough, their deaths are self-inflicted, and you have to pay an absolute price for your actions, do you know what the Nine Clans are?"

Zhao Zili's words were even if the wind blew from the infernal hell, it was cold and biting, at this time Li Cunzhong finally knew that he was afraid, and struggled to get up and kowtow frantically with all his might: "Lord, lord, all the mistakes are the fault of the criminal minister alone, please don't harm the family of the criminal minister, please ask the prince to be merciful when the criminal minister dies." ”

"Wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows, you know." Zhao Zili lowered his head and looked at him, there was no pity in his eyes, kindness to the enemy was cruelty to himself.

"It's Jia Xu, Jia Xu asked me to do it, he said that as long as I get rid of you, I will be the general of the Sword Gate, and the criminal ministers are obsessed, and they are willing to sign and confess their guilt, and ask the prince to be gracious." Li Cunzhong couldn't stand it at all, Zhao Zili's eyes made him understand that the other party was not joking, his child was still young and couldn't just die like this.

"Okay, as long as you are willing to sign the pledge, this king will not hold your family accountable, and will claim that you died in battle to protect this king, and give your family a reasonable pension." Zhao Zili understood that even if Li Cunzhong signed and drew a pledge, he could only correct Jia Xu at most, so it was better to hold his troops first, so that the eldest prince could also throw a rat trap.

Li Cunzhong didn't expect Zhao Zili to be so tolerant, if he could report his death in battle, his descendants would receive generous pensions.

"The sinner bows to thank the prince for his great kindness, and if there is an afterlife, he will definitely tie the grass title ring to repay the prince's kindness."

"You should have some henchmen who haven't died in the Sword Gate Gate." Zhao Zili suddenly asked in a low voice, his purpose of letting Li Cunzhong's family go is not so single, and these methods may come in handy when he returns to Jianmen Pass one day in the future.

Li Cunzhong also understood Zhao Zili's thoughts, the more things he could provide, the safer his family would be, and said: "Back to the prince, there are some others, all of them have been operated by the criminal minister for many years, and the list is in the cover of the third book on the left side of the shelf of the criminal minister's study. ”

"Okay, someone will wait for you." Zhao Zili shouted outside the cell, and after a while, Qiya came in with a pen and paper, and Li Cunzhong explained everything about how to pass on the information and set up an ambush with Jia Xu.

After writing it, Zhao Zili read it and said, "Don't worry, this king is what he says." ”

turned around and walked out of the prison door with Qiya, looked around and no one told Qiya to get a list of Li Cunzhong's henchmen, and then went to see Li Cunxiao.

"Lord Wang, I don't know what Li Cunzhong said." Now Li Cunxiao is also very nervous, although this matter has nothing to do with him, but after all, he is his subordinate, and once Emperor Wu is angry, he can't eat and walk around.

"Don't worry, Li Cunzhong has been executed by this king, but if you want to report to the top, say that this king was attacked, and Li Cunzhong's troops were all killed in order to save this king, do you understand."

Li Cunxiao was stunned for a moment and was also a smart person, and after pondering for a while, he understood the cause and effect, this King Song must know that this matter can't bring down the eldest prince, and he can sell himself a favor, it's really wise and almost demonic.

"Yes, the last general understands, thanks to King Song's magnanimity, so that Li Cunzhong's family can be beneficial."

If they were really executed for the crime of attacking the prince, then their families would be treated as official slaves, and Zhao Zili's actions also won Li Cunxiao's favor.

"This king wants to wait for the large army to come to join at Jianmen Pass, and it will only take two or three days of effort, I don't know if the general can be convenient." After a rapid march and a fierce battle all the way, now Zhao Zili and his party are sleepy and have to rest

"Naturally, although Jianmen Pass is not prosperous, you can also take a look, and the prince can do it at his own convenience." Li Cunxiao didn't dare and couldn't refuse at this time, Li Cunyong's matter hadn't been completely turned over, and the Jianmen Pass couldn't be a general at any time.

"By the way, the fourth general of Jianmen Pass is dead now, and when this king passed by Jiangling, he saw that Lu Yan, the son-in-law of Jiangling Taishou, was a talent that could be created, you can think about it." Zhao Zili didn't forget about Lu Yan and his Nanming Lihuo.

"Okay, the last general will go to investigate, if it is really as the prince said, the last general will ask His Majesty for an order to transfer him over as a guard." Li Cunxiao knew that Zhao Zili was also installing his own people, but now that it was an eventful time, if the other party was really strong enough, it would not hurt to transfer him.

After nightfall, the Jianmen Pass was quiet, the moonlight shone on the cliff jade, and the reflected light covered the entire Jianmen Pass with a layer of light gauze.

In the room, Zhao Zili called Bai out.

"White, is there a way to give people a few more lives?" He was still haunted by the deaths of several of his subordinates.

"Yes, my memory is incomplete, and your inheritance of the sword master's body is not exhausted, as long as you succeed in asking for your life, you can return the yang, and you can hand it over to the sword cultivator under your hand. There is also a seven-star life, which can give people seven lives, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate, and at present, only you and Lu Yan are still qualified to cultivate. ”

Zhao Zili was silent for a while, sure enough, this method against the sky is really harsh.

Bai felt Zhao Zili's sadness, and then said: "The top priority now is to improve your strength, you first cultivate swordsmanship, with the assistance of Purple Blood Dragon Yuan, the speed of cultivation will be very fast, and the steps of miraculous skills and life and death can not be completed in a day or two, don't worry, now your progress is already very fast." ”

Zhao Zili pulled out the purple blood dragon abyss and said, "Okay, if you have any powerful swordsmanship, pass it on to me." ”

"Okay." Bai passed a stream of information into Zhao Zili's mind.

"So profound, so powerful." Feeling the sword move in his mind, Zhao Zili was pleasantly surprised.

"As long as you can learn these four styles, you can become a first-class master, and now you still have to lay a solid foundation, these Bei Yuanran They can teach you."

Zhao Zili knows the truth that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and how can he run without learning how to walk.

Early the next morning, Zhao Zili found Bei Yuanran and Qi Ya and explained his purpose.

"The prince wants to learn basic swordsmanship, no problem, his subordinates will do their best to hand over everything they have learned to the prince." Bei Yuanran didn't have any hidden secrets, if Zhao Zili learned the martial arts of the Qingtian Sword Sect, it would be beneficial and harmless to them.

"Okay, other disciples have also come to fight with this king, don't worry that the stronger this king is, the better he can protect you, and you can't let your sacrifice be in vain."

The disciples were inexplicably moved, and Zhao Zili had already sent someone to block off the surroundings of his house to prevent people from approaching.

Bei Yuanran held the wooden sword in his hand and said: "The eight methods of kendo are the eight basic methods of swordsmanship, and they are also derived from the eight methods of swordsmanship, namely, stabbing, teasing, chopping, collapsing, splitting, hooking, lifting, and wiping. ”

After that, Bei Yuanran covered up all the eight methods, and Zhao Zili was extremely talented, and he had already learned it after watching it once.

"The prince is really talented, and he still has some time in the Sword Gate, so his subordinates suggest that he should practice the basic eight methods to Dacheng."

Zhao Zili also nodded, in addition to sleeping and eating in the next few days, Zhao Zili practiced the basic eight methods again, and he was too tired, so that Li Cunxiao was drowsy and had no energy when he saw him.

Luoyang, in the palace, Li Cunxiao's recital has been delivered, and there is a harrier eagle specially for sending letters at Jianmen Gate, and it takes seven or eight days for people to arrive, and the harrier eagle can arrive in one day.

"Hmph, sure enough, someone dared to ambush Lao Qi." Emperor Wu was very angry after reading it, and Empress Nangong hurriedly stepped forward to touch his shoulder.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, I don't know what happened to King Song." Empress Nangong asked.

"Fortunately, Li Cunzhong from Jianmen Pass arrived in time and saved Zili, but unfortunately he died in battle." Emperor Wu sighed, and there were really people in the Great Zhou who dared to sneak attack his son.

"King Song is fine, the soldiers who died in the battle still need to be compensated, and the top priority is to ensure the safety of the Sword Gate."

"The queen is right, Li Cunxiao mentioned Lu Yan in Jiangling, saying that he is a talent in both civil and military affairs, and I still believe in his judgment, so I ordered Lu Yan to be transferred over. Hmph, it is very likely that the murderer is Xi Qin, Cao Zhengchun, go to the prison to spread my will, and Dong Fanbai will die on the spot and do not need to be repatriated. ”

Emperor Wu was very angry, and the consequences were very serious, Cao Zhengchun was frightened, and hurriedly went to the heavenly prison to see Dong Fanbai.

"Hehe, Gonggong Cao is going to send Ben Gongzi on the road." Dong Fanbai thought that Cao Zhengchun was here to send him back to Western Qin, and his attitude was very arrogant.

"That's right, our family is here to send you on the road, but it's a dead end."

Dong Fan Bai was stunned, and before he could react, Cao Zhengchun slapped his palm on his chest, and flew out upside down in an instant.

"You... How dare you. Dongfan Bai took his last breath and raised his right hand to point at Cao Zhengchun.

"The moment Western Qin ambushed King Song, you should have known that this would be the end."

Dongfan's white pupils were dilated, and he was unwilling to hang his hand, and swallowed his last breath with resentment.

"Dare to fight the idea of King Song, someone will burn the body, and wait for Xiqin to pick up people and give them the ashes."

"Yes."

Cao Zhengchun wiped his hands and left the dungeon, Zhao Zili didn't expect that he could still pit this goods to death, and it was only two or three days before Gao Xiang arrived.
