"Lao Tzu...... If you beg for mercy, you can't ...... Hero! Ahhh

The torture room was filled with the miserable howls of the prisoners, and Zhao Xiao plucked out his ears with a leisurely face:

"Heroes? What kind of hero are you? If you fight with real knives and guns on the battlefield, I still reluctantly admit your words, sneaky and follow the villagers to Yanze City, just wander around all day long, and make up rumors to stir up the market, this is also a hero? ”

Zhao Xiao ran around with his grandfather when he was a child, and he didn't see these "green forest heroes", although most of them were murderers and bandits who were not worthy of pity, but there were also a few of them who had blood and courage in their hearts, and in the final analysis, the world was chaotic, forcing them to become robbers and thieves.

So Zhao Xiao took the opportunity to reason: "If you are really a hero, then don't act for the tiger." If the evil really spreads the plague, what good will it do you? What the common people want is to live in a smooth and prosperous life without catastrophes. You should be glad that you are just spreading rumors, if there is really a demon and evil practice, you will be beheaded a long time ago. ”

The prisoner was sweating from the severe pain, and his whole body hung on the torture rack and convulsed, and the pain was relieved, and his face was full of fear.

"It doesn't hurt?" Zhao Xiao said with a smile: "Don't worry, ordinary people eat one bite at a time, and the same goes for Gu worms, when it burrows into the intestines, you will hurt even more." The last guy I was filled with Gu worms ended up slicing open his belly with a sharp knife and pulling out his intestines. Guess what he sees? A long worm came out directly and pounced on him in the face, and that scene, tsk......"

The prisoner's face was terrifyingly pale, and the severe pain that was temporarily relieved was faintly reappeared, it was like the feeling of dozens of steel knives stabbed into the stomach, and he really didn't want to experience it again:

"I say! I say it all! It was the big boss who made us do this! ”

"Big boss?" Zhao Xiao asked: "Who is the surname, tall, short, fat and thin, where is you now?" ”

"The big boss is surnamed Xiong, with a big waist and a round waist, and he is good at using a mace." The prisoner hurriedly explained: "Our gang began to follow the big boss six or seven years ago, and the brothers in the mine were overwhelmed for a while, and they worked together to kill the foreman and ran to Qingluo Mountain to join the gang. ”

"You're a miner?" Zhao Xiao rubbed his fingers, as if he could urge the Gu worm at any time.

Seeing this, the prisoner poured beans and recounted: "Yes, in the past, when I went to the mine in Yuyang County, the foreman and mine owner urged and rushed every day, and if he moved slowly, he would be whipped and beaten. Hundreds of people died in the mines, and the corpses were thrown into the ditch casually. The brothers really had no way to live, so they defected to the Xiong Da family in Qingluo Mountain. ”

Zhao Xiao asked again: "Qingluo Mountain?" How many people do you have in total? ”

"Around 2,000, many miners in Yuyang County have taken refuge." The prisoner felt a little calmer in his abdomen and a little relieved.

"In addition to you, how many people did the Great Boss Xiong send to Yanze City?"

"One or two hundred? I don't know very well. ”

"What is the purpose of spreading rumors like you?" Zhao Xiao saw that the prisoner was a little hesitant, and as soon as the fingertips in his hand changed, the other party felt the colic hit again, and shouted:

"Save, save! The Immortal Elder of Chiyun Capital has been captured by you, and we are here to save him! ”

"Oh?" Zhao Xiao was curious now: "You two hundred people, let alone sneaking into Yanze City pretending to be villagers, even if you are an official and soldier with a helmet and armor, it is not easy to rescue Sang Huazi from the county government prison." As far as you are, it's a bit whimsical. ”

The prisoner was drenched in sweat: "I knew this, and the big boss didn't say anything else!" ”

Zhao Xiao was noncommittal, and called the official in: "You can take a team of people to the small courtyard in the east of the city now, take all the faces nearby, and bring them over to identify him one by one." ”

The official was ordered to retreat, and the prisoner looked down at his stomach: "Then my ......"

Zhao Xiao waved his hand and asked the jailer to take the prisoner away: "I can take out the Gu worms, provided that you identify your comrades." You'd better hope that we can catch a few more people, and then your days of suffering will be shorter. ”

The prisoner was taken away crying, and Zhao Xiao looked back with a smile and saw the Chen Shuban shrinking in the corner with a pale face.

"Scared? The first time I saw torture to extract confessions? Zhao Xiao picked up the record and glanced at it twice, nodded and praised: "Good words!" ”

Chen Shuban held his wrist and relaxed: "Zhao Fuyi praised it falsely, Xiaosheng is indeed the first time to see it, and I am afraid that there will be omissions in the next record." ”

"No, I look good." Zhao Xiao smiled: "Actually, I don't like torture either, the kind of method of beating people to the flesh is laborious and ugly." ”

Chen Shuban wanted to speak and stopped, and when Zhao Xiao saw this, he asked: "Do you think my methods are more ruthless than those corporal punishments?" ”

"The saying of Gu insects, Xiao Sheng has heard a little, it is a strange and profound technique in Jiuli Kingdom, the male is called the Gu Master, the female is called the Gu Niang, can control the hundred insects, and specializes in poisonous snakes and insects to harm people." Chen Shuban said.

Zhao Xiao's eyes lit up: "You still know a lot." ”

Chen Shuban was ashamed and said: "Don't hide it from Zhao Fu, Xiaosheng also wanted to worship in the museum and practice magic back then, but after a few years, he got nothing, so he could only return to his hometown to be an enlightened teacher, and by the way, he copied and wrote notes to others...... Zhao Fu can really make Gu worms? ”

Zhao Xiao smiled and waved his hand: "Where?" The Gu techniques of Jiuli Kingdom are all secret legends of the clan, and outsiders have no way of learning them. What I poured into him was not a Gu worm at all, it was a bowl of talisman water, which turned into a reverse qi drill talisman and poured some ink, which was purely a method of fooling ordinary people. ”

The so-called pain is not clear, and the reverse qi drills into the heart and turns the water into the abdomen, which will make the five Tibetan qi veins staggered and disordered, and the pain is unbearable. But as long as the other party knows some breathing and refining qi, and knows that cloth qi can dissolve qi knots, this technique will be completely useless.

Not to mention anything else, if Zhao Huang didn't activate the spell, the effect of the adverse qi would dissipate by itself after a day, and there would be no stubborn disease left, which was far worse than the real Gu technique.

What's more, Gu worms and Gu magic are better than being weird and unpredictable, rather than fighting in battle formations. Jiuli Kingdom's foreign wars, the main reliance on the sorcerers is still the great witches and priests of the shrines, and they can still call the wind and rain, swallow the clouds and spit out the fog.

A moment later, Zhao Huang asked the official to bring Nasang Huazi, and after these days of interrogation, Zhao Huang already knew his identity.

This Sang Huazi is not a casual cultivator like Ding Maocai who has recently joined the army, but a monk who has been in it since the Great War of the Five Kingdoms, when Chiyun Capital was founded.

"Speaking of this Red Cloud Capital, the origin is also quite wonderful."

In the torture room, Zhao Xiao did not let the jailer tie Sang Huazi to the torture rack, but gave him a stool to sit down, and the two talked opposite each other. Zhao Xiao held the pu fan that Sang Huazi held at the beginning, looked at the vermilion talisman and said:

"Outsiders say that Chiyundu is a group of homeless people spontaneously gathered into the army, which is not the truth. In the past, the Tianxia Dynasty fell apart, and many monk sects were also involved, and some old grievances arose, and the monks and masters fought each other to seek revenge, causing a monstrous chaos, and many sect inheritances withered.

Among them, there is a group of monks, who cultivated in Chiyun Mountain, and suffered from the great chaos, and many disciples were killed and injured, and only three disciples escaped. Seeing that the world was declining and the people were suffering, they did not choose to escape into the mountains and forests, but resolutely entered the world.

At first, these three disciples only did some small things such as administering medicine and practicing medicine, sending clothes and repairing houses, but later their followers increased day by day, and they began to gather the homeless people and teach them to accumulate good deeds and practice merits and confess their mistakes. If there is any surplus money and rice, they will help the poor and not keep much.

For decades, these three people have millions of people under their command, and they have also passed on the magic skills of the Chiyun Mountain faction to everyone, and twenty-four of them have achieved cultivation, and they are known as the twenty-four generals of Chiyun. And these three disciples are regarded as the three elders of Chiyun by their followers. ”

Sang Huazi sat on the bench, his ten fingers on his hands were twisted and swollen, his clothes and hair were messy and untidy, but his expression was still firm, and he heard Zhao Huang repeat the origin of Chiyundu, and there was still a little pride in his eyes.

"You're one of the twenty-four generals of Chiyun, right?" Zhao Xiao tapped his finger on the pu fan: "I don't know much about the Chiyun Mountain faction, it is rumored that the patriarch of this sect has achieved success in cultivating the true qi in the mountains, and I saw that the immortal Zhen descended by the red clouds, and gave three volumes of immortal scriptures, which are "Chiming Jade Chapter", "Zhuling Du Soul Golden Book" and "Yanjing Transformation and Refining Essentials". ”

Sang Huazi's face inadvertently showed a look of surprise, but he immediately closed his eyes and said nothing.

When Zhao Xiao saw him like this, he knew that he was right, and at the same time secretly admired Lingxiao's experience and insight.

The so-called three volumes of the Immortal Sutra are actually the spirit flutes after seeing the vermilion talisman seal on the pu fan, deducing and restoring it, and guessing the inheritance of Chiyun Mountain, which comes from an ancient immortal named Dongdan Yuanjun.

Ling Xiao had discussed with Dongdan Yuanjun, so he knew that the other party had three volumes of immortal scriptures. And whether Dongdan Yuanjun descended to bestow the law, Lingxiao can't be sure, maybe it's just that the ancestor of Chiyun Mountain found the treasure of Dongdan Yuanjun left in the mortal world, so he made up the legend of the immortal true descent.

Zhao Huang had the mentality of giving it a try, and pretended to tell it profoundly in front of Sang Huazi, and the result was really right.

"Chiyun Mountain is a faction of inheritance, and it is the best at fighting fire, and your talisman fan can not only fan the wind and ignite the fire, kill and attack, but also adjust the internal and external breath fire." Zhao Xiao shook the pu fan lightly: "If someone is possessed by spirits and ghosts, with a wave of your talisman fan, you can send out real fire to extinguish evil spirits, and you can also get rid of idle illnesses with one fan." If it is cultivated to the sky, the talisman fan is more refined, and with a slight wave, it can emit a flame that burns the outline of the mountain forest and the city, and no matter how much Yanze City is prepared, it will not be able to resist the fire of this burning city. ”

Sang Huazi opened his eyes and said: "The court officials are tyrannical and expropriating, which is even worse than the disaster of fire and water!" We are raising the banner of righteousness, building the avenue, and waving a fan to resist the fire, but to fight for a respite for the people, and we have no intention of causing trouble. ”

"These words, Chiyun, who sheltered the displaced people back then, can still say it." Zhao Yan said: "But now that you are making trouble in Xingluo County, can you still say that you are unintentional? Thieves roam the countryside, looting at every turn, and their tyrannical behavior is unbearable, can this kind of goods be regarded as a righteous army and a righteous banner? ”

The corners of Sang Huazi's eyes tightened, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke: "If it weren't for the unscrupulous demands of the ministers of the DPRK and the tyranny of the local counties and counties, why would the people be willing to risk the sky and commit murder and robbery?" ”

"It's the same thing again." Zhao Xiao put the pu fan aside: "The people may be helpless thieves, but you Chiyun have sent people to Xingluo County, do you know if it is to make the disaster worse?" Let's just say that those thieves and robbers who are already misbehaving, knowing that they have you as their backers, are even more reckless and indiscriminate! Recently, the thieves even sent people to Yanze City to spread rumors, saying that the evil deeds are plagued, and they want to make the epidemic in Xingluo County everywhere. If you Chiyun really pride yourself on holding high the banner of righteousness, then why don't you eradicate these scourges? How innocent are the civilians who have been killed? I don't believe you are completely ignorant of this! ”

"Yes, we know." Sang Huazi happily admitted: "It's a pity that now is no longer the time when Chiyundu was founded, and the rectification of military discipline is not something that can be achieved overnight, so there is nothing to avoid this." If it were you, would you be able to make these thieves change their minds in the blink of an eye? ”

"I can't do that, so I won't make trouble with those thieves in the first place." Zhao Huang said bluntly: "I know that some of you in Chiyundu are dissatisfied with the dismissal and dismissal of the imperial court, but now that the situation has been decided, it is very inappropriate for the five countries to truce and strike the war, and then hold the banner of Chiyundu.

You occupy Cangwu Ridge in the south, and I can't control it, but why do you have to travel thousands of miles to Xingluo County? Or is there something here that is worth acquiring at all costs? ”

Sang Huazi closed his eyes and didn't answer, and Zhao Xiao laughed: "If you don't say it, I also know that Ding Maocai is not as stoic as you, and he has already told the news of your intention to cast a divine blade." ”

"Traitor!" Sang Huazi scolded angrily.

"It's not a traitor." Zhao Xiao said: "He said that he has only taken refuge in Chiyundu's casual cultivation in recent years, and you can't talk about like-mindedness between you in the first place, can you still expect others to work hard for you to the end?" ”

"What exactly are you asking?" Sang Huazi said impatiently.

Zhao Xiao's eyes were sharp: "I want to know the real purpose of your Chiyun coming to Xingluo County." Don't talk to me about raising the banner of righteousness and eliminating harsh government, I want to know what you are casting divine soldiers for? Who are you going to use it against? ”

"We're not unhappy that Chiyun has been laid off." Sang Huazi didn't answer directly: "It's just that now Huaxu is hopeless, and the court is full of incompetent people, and they are the real source of disaster!" ”

The corners of Zhao Xiao's mouth twitched: "Don't tell me that Chiyun is planning to rebel?" ”

"If you see this as a rebellion, then it is." Sang Huazi said calmly: "We are not for the survival of one sect or another, but for the survival of tens of millions of people." Do you think we have not complained to the court? We tried, and one of the three elders was even suppressed at the foot of the Lungs Mountain! ”

Zhao Xiao still heard about this for the first time, and Sang Huazi was a little excited: "Later, we understood that the whole court, whether it is the lord of the country or the ministers and magnates, can not save the people from fire and water. If they can't do it, then don't fall in love with the high position! If you can't listen to good words and bad words, then let Jianfeng say it! ”

"Finished?" Zhao Xiao was expressionless and asked coldly.

"That's it." Sang Huazi straightened his figure: "You don't have to ask anymore, I won't say anything else, you cut off my head and hang it at the north gate, I want to see how Chiyundu attacks Yanze City." ”

Zhao Xiao was helpless, and as soon as he got up, he heard a warm voice behind him:

"Sang Huazi, you can't die easily."
