Chapter 4: Murder in Prison
After the heavy snowfall, the ice cubes left behind were still hanging from the narrow ventilation windows.
In the dark water dungeon, the icy snow water was waist-deep and covered the two trembling bodies.
In this devil's prison that has changed the color of the grassland herdsmen, the bitter cold of winter is far more cruel than the heavy snow outside the tent.
If it weren't for the exercises, ordinary people would have been frozen into pieces of flesh and blood, and there would be no vitality at all.
The high priest Nurthai and the queen's chief of guard Mo Da looked at the ventilation window above their heads, and the snowflakes falling from the window fell under their noses.
Through the faint light of the snow, Mo Da could feel that the tuberculosis of the high priest Nurtai had become more severe. In front of his chest, the patches of congealed blood, glowing red, were far more terrifying than his face.
"Father-in-law, are you alright?" He asked uneasily.
He was afraid that he would die.
If he dies, in this dark and silent prison, I am afraid that he will not survive for a few days. Even more terrifying than the cold of this prison is the darkness and fear. The fear that death lurks around him at any time, and can give him a fatal blow at any time, is far more fatal than when he is hunted down.
People are afraid that there is no hope, but what they are even more afraid of is that there is still a little hope. The only window overhead to the outside world brought him both the cold and the thought of death. Because the more he sees the light, the more he wants to struggle, and the more he struggles, the more it consumes his physical strength and mind.
Despair again and again consumed his will.
For more than half a month, Queen Viga threw them into this prison, regardless of them.
She used this way to punish them for rebellion.
"Ahem, I can't die yet." High Priest Nurtai greedily took a deep breath of the snow wind, and secretly admired in his heart, it was good to be alive.
The closer you get to death, the more you want to live.
At his age, life is more important than wealth and power.
It's a pity that he miscalculated after all. He did a lot of calculations, but he never thought that Viga's heart was so ruthless and so hard. In fact, as early as when he was forcing the palace, he thought of a way out and deliberately coughed up blood to give it to her, wanting to arouse the trace of tenderness hidden in her heart.
As long as she is willing to care about that little bit of affection, he will have a chance to live.
"Father-in-law, do you say that the queen really wants to kill us?" Mo asked bitterly. He was almost unconscious from the neck down, and his neck, which was still able to turn slightly, was also terrifyingly stiff.
Nurtai sighed, "I don't know, I guess she's still waiting." ”
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for the old man to take the initiative to explain."
"Champion Hou?"
"That's right."
Mo A shook his head with a wry smile, at this time, he still refused to tell him the truth. He and he both knew very well that the champion Hou was the man of Viga. The man must not move. Even if he is an enemy of the Wolftooth Court.
But he moved.
He couldn't understand why he was doing this.
At the beginning, it was said that he would force Viga to ascend the throne. He and he will be servants of the dragon. But now, they have all become prisoners of this order.
"Why did you send him to a deserted city? You know that there is a taboo for the whole wolf fang. ”
"If he does not go to the deserted city, how can the deserted city be destroyed? If the deserted city is not destroyed, she will only want to be her sect leader, and only think about how to save the deserted city. It's a pity that we can't afford to wait, we don't just want her to be the sect leader, but also let her be our king! The blood of the Great Khan gave birth to an evil dragon, and we, as subjects of the Great Khan, have the responsibility and obligation to clean the portal for the Great Khan! Other than that, we had no choice! ”
"It's your handiwork to instigate Hao Tiangong Palace Master Sin Hongshuang to fight her in a decisive battle with the Great Snow Mountain, right?"
"Hehe, if it weren't for the tiger leaving the mountain, how could he go to the deserted city, and how could he not kill that woman in a fit of rage, and he also killed the deserted city."
"Is that woman that important? She's just blind. Besides, she's still the Queen's ......."
"Shut up! Even if we die, we can't say anything about it. ”
There was the sound of Mo Da's rapid breathing in the cage, he was very depressed, and he wanted to tell the story. But he couldn't. Nurtai's words are not wrong, if this matter is exposed, not only will there be a big problem with the wolf fang, but I am afraid that even Daqin will make waves again.
After a long time, Mo Da was unwilling to say, is he really dead?
He remembered that in the royal court, Nurtai once said, and it was only then that the queen made up her mind to ascend the throne.
"What do you think?"
"I don't know."
"You have to always remember that you are a dog I kept with her. The master's affairs, you inquire less. To be a dog is to be like a dog. ”
Mo Da was speechless. That's right, he's always been a dog he's kept with her. Ever since he was six years old and sensible, he has always been just a dog.
"Are you convinced! Do you feel that you have contributed a lot over the years, and do you feel that she should have belonged to you a long time ago! Nurtai's words were like a hammer that knocked open his cold heart.
If there is still a chance to live, he will definitely continue to play the role of his dog in obscurity. It's a pity that he is going to die, and the humiliation in his heart is not unpleasant.
"Why can't I! She was meant to have belonged to me! I'm the first warrior of the wolf's fangs! I'm her messenger of flowers! ”
"Hehehe, you think I don't know your dirty thoughts. From the age of eight, you secretly peeked at her bathing. You've even secretly used drugs many times to stun her. ”
"You! How to know! Mo Da's eyes widened. This kind of thing he has always done carefully.
There is a devil in everyone's heart.
He is no exception.
The devil in his heart is still Viga except Viga.
It was his sorrow that he could get it but not get it, but he never gave up.
"If it weren't for me, with her personality, you would have died long ago." Nurtai scolded unceremoniously.
"I have warned you many times that she is my daughter! The man she wants can only be a man like Qin Yue! And not ugly rats. The reason why I didn't kill you is because I have repeatedly given you opportunities to reflect. Instead of knowing how to be restrained, you have intensified it. Qin Yue's matter, do you dare to say that you didn't interfere? You have a secret communication with the filthy soft bones of the Qin State, and what about the defeat, in fact, you took the initiative to let the huge Beishan give up to the Qin State, the purpose is to let them be promoted and make a fortune, and give them the opportunity to kill Qin Yue! ”
It's all over.
This old guy knows everything. Mo Da laughed out loud in despair.
Laughing, laughing, unwilling tears suddenly flowed out.
"Then why haven't you killed me today?"
Nurtai looked at the cold snow water under him, gritted his teeth with hatred, because it was not yet time. If you want to kill Qin Yue, I want to too. He shouldn't have been in her life, he was born with a knife that hurt her too deeply, but I know someone has been laying it out for a long time.
"Who?"
"I don't know. But I know it's a woman. ”
Mo Da wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. Woman? Again and again, they were planted in the hands of women. He didn't laugh, but Nurthai did, laughing heartily and painfully.
He has only loved one woman in his life. But this woman cut off the roots of his offspring, making him a eunuch who is neither human nor ghost.
For a long time, Nurtai couldn't laugh anymore, and the blood suppressed in his throat made him feel death again.
There wasn't much time left for him.
He couldn't afford to spend it like this any longer.
"Ahem, cough, don't you want to live?"
These words were like a heavenly sound, and Mo Da even suspected that he had heard it wrong. He struggled to see Nurtai's face, but he couldn't.
"If you want to live, it's not impossible." Nurtai muttered to herself.
"Viga is waiting for me to give in, but my time is running out, I can't afford to wait."
"What do you want me to do?" Mo answered the only remaining hope, as if he had captured a glimmer of life, and instantly aroused the strength of his whole body, he twisted his neck violently, and with a squeak, his neck was dislocated.
It's that people are afraid of death.
Although he is a cold-blooded killer, his hands are cold but his heart is not cold. More importantly, he didn't want to die like this.
"I want you to do something for me. As long as you are willing to do it, you will live. Viga will never kill you. ”
Nurthai forcibly swallowed the blood in his throat and glanced at him with difficulty, the mockery on his lips sneering from hell.
Mo Da didn't dare to say anything, he frowned. After a brief surprise, his instinct as a killer made him quickly calm down. Based on his understanding of Nurtai, in this huge grassland, among those wolves who eat people and do not spit out bones, Nurtai is the only lone wolf.
His coldness, loneliness, eccentricity, and mystery are always hidden on his old face that smiles like a Gesang flower when he sees people.
"This old guy has always been a falcon that won't let go if he doesn't catch his prey! It's never going to be easy! Mo Da's heart secretly worried.
Seeing that he was silent, Nurtai's cold eyes became even more contemptuous. He shook his head heavily, obviously giving him the impression that Mo Da was too low. "You can only be a dog, but not a wolf on the grassland!"
But soon, he lost his patience, and it was almost dawn, and there was not much time left for him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Find a way to kill me, and then go to the Qin State and find that woman!" ”
As soon as his words fell, Mo Da's eyes widened in shock and horror.
With a "poof", a knife pierced through the darkness of the prison, flashed with a light, and plunged into Mo Da's chest.
"Why!" Mo Da looked at the broken window in despair, muttered a word in his mouth, followed by blood spurting, and quickly drooped his head.
Nurtai seemed to have foreseen it, and he suddenly smiled and curled the corners of his mouth.
She's always there.
A gust of incense blew open the prison door, and Viga, dressed in a white cloak, walked slowly.
"I thought you wanted to die! Unexpectedly, you still want to live! Viga smiled coldly.
Nurtai wiped a handful of blood from the corner of his mouth and said miserably, what do you want? If you want to kill whoever you want, you will!
Viga looked at him indifferently and threw him a cowhide sac.
Nurtai hurriedly grabbed it, unscrewed the leather cover, and poured several mouthfuls in a row, his face turned red, and then he muttered, Good wine! It is worthy of Jiangnan Spring!
"Where is he?" Viga's patience was obviously limited, and she waited for him for more than half a month, finally waiting for him to speak.
"You shouldn't have killed him, he's a good dog!" Nurthai deliberately glanced at Mo A, who died, and said regretfully.
"If he doesn't die, how can you have a chance to live!" Viga spat him, apparently she understood his thoughts.
"Say, how do you want to live! I'm giving you this chance! ”
Nurtai drank the only remaining wine in his pouch again, then threw the pouch in his hand, and laughed loudly, "You have to let me go, I'll get him back for you!" ”
Viga frowned slightly, this was not the answer she wanted. Her gaze was a little murderous, but soon she took a deep breath and resisted the urge in her heart.
"I promise you! Not only are you going to bring him back, but I'm going to want that woman too!" ”
Nurtai's face changed in shock, "Why are you doing this! ”
"I just ask you if you can do it!" Viga lost patience and quickly interrupted him, shouting loudly.
"Okay!" Nurtai swallowed heavily.
Vija turned around and walked straight out of the cell. As soon as she stepped out of the door of the cell, she whispered again, From now on, you and I will break off! I'll give you half a year, if you can't see anyone for half a year, no matter how far you hide in the world, I will kill you with my own hands!
When the incense dissipated, Nurtai exhaled in a cold sweat.
Before he could relax, a heart-wrenching pain suddenly surged up in his brain, like an insect biting. He couldn't help but let out a series of miserable screams, and the whole person kept hitting the big iron pillar with his head in his arms, and soon curled up in a ball.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”
The door to the cell was wide open, and the cold wind was blowing.
I don't know how long it took, but the cell suddenly lit up. Nurtai, who had passed out, opened his eyes slightly, and the shackles on his hands and feet had already been cut off.
"Soul Eater! Yes, that's great! The old guy gave you the trick at the bottom of the box, and you used it all on the old man! You're really my good daughter! ”
His face was miserable and pale, gloomy and irritated. No one knows the secrets of the Soul Eater, and few even know the power of the Soul Eater. But Nurtai knew a little bit that the Soul Eater Talisman was an untold mystery of the Burning Sky Sect.
There's something terrible about it that makes you want to die. Even if a person is about to die, he will live like a living person if he is hit by the Soul Eater Talisman, but if no one unlocks the spell, this person's soul will eventually become a puppet of the caster, similar to the zombies in the Miao Jiang region.
Half a year was an ultimatum given to him by Viga.
Nurtai shuddered.
But soon, he stomped his foot violently, shook off the shackles that had been broken on his body, did not dare to stay for long, and hurriedly rushed out of the cell.
When he was gone, Mo Da's body was chopped into pieces and thrown on the hill facing the north mountain, and was eaten by wild wolves and goshawks, and not even a drop of blood remained.
Although Moda was killed by Viga, he still gave him the highest courtesy.
Sky burial.
This is the kindness of Viga and the hatred of Viga.
