Jiaozhou, Yulin, Bushan City in the torture chamber.

The torch burst into a spark, and a fierce light flashed in Shi Hui's eyes.

He said coldly to Lu Xun.

"General Lu, there is a sentence in the Tao Te Ching, 'The wind does not end, the rain does not end', no matter how strong the wind is, it will not blow for a morning; no matter how heavy the rainstorm, it will not be the next whole day, when you attack my Jiaozhou and slaughter the people of my Jiaozhou, have you ever thought that there will be such a day when it will fall into the hands of our scholars?"

"Win or lose... Why bother? "Lu Xun is tied, and he has no feeling on his legs, he needs treatment, but the current situation, let alone treatment, is afraid that he is about to receive a more brutal punishment.

"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, if you fall into my hands today, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Listening to Shi Hui's words, Lu Xun just stared at him, unable to do anything.

"Someone..."

Shi Hui was about to command, Lu Xun asked tremblingly, "Can you tell me, where is my wife?" Where's my son? And also... And the patriarch of my Lu family, Gong Ji... He... Is he still alive? ”

"Your son is in another execution cell!" Shihui looked at Lu Xun playfully, like a big villain, and couldn't stop laughing rampantly, "Haha, Lu Ji's words? He was smashed into flesh by stones just like your Buqiu general, and some of your Lu family's clansmen already recognized him... As for your wife's words... Well..."

Shihui deliberately wanted to stop talking, he was provoking Lu Xun.

"What are you going to do? What are you going to do to my wife? ”

"You'd better take care of yourself first!" Shi Hui commanded: "Come on, twenty rods!" ”

The expressionless torturer came over to drag Lu Xun, and Lu Xun shook his hand in disgust, "Don't touch me!" ”

He endured the pride in his heart, and also endured the impending shame and resentment, he knew that it was futile to resist, he slowly leaned down on the ground, and the torturers on both sides lifted his robes, and the staff fell to Lu Xun's buttocks and legs.

Although Lu Xun is not pampered, he is also a noble son, and the first time he has undergone such a corporal punishment, the unconscious leg is just that, and the other is a painful forehead with beads of sweat.

He could only grit his teeth and not say a word, and the twenty canes were quickly finished, and Lu Xun's back was already covered with blood.

The torturer walked away, Lu Xun gasped deeply, knelt up against the trembling support of the wall, and stood up with difficulty, he looked at Shihui coldly.

This obviously did not achieve the desired effect of Shihui.

You must know that after the war between Jiaozhou and the Lu family this time, the Lu family army won successive battles, and the Jiaozhou soldiers who died at Lu Xun's hands were not only thousands of people, but Shihui wanted to avenge them today.

"These twenty canes are just for General Lu to taste and appreciate that our Jiaozhou is not easy to bully, and now you know that I have waited a lot?"

"Your giant crossbow that can shoot 800 paces? From... Where did it come from? Lu Xun asked with pain in pain.

"What?" Shi Hui was stunned.

Lu Xun smiled lightly, "Where do you have such ability in Jiaozhou, to create such an artifact, it must be... Is it Huang Laoxi? Right? Right? ”

Lu Xun's eyes were sharp, and his words surprised Shi Hui.

Shi Huiqiang held back his anger after being seen through and sneered: "General Lu is really admirable, now that he is in prison, can he still worry about this?" Only, you are now in our hands? Will you still get out alive? ”

"Just think I want to be a ghost..."Lu Xun met the grim gaze of the sergeant, and he said lightly: "It's not just a giant crossbow? Even... Even if you capture Lu Ji and use him to blackmail me, it's... It's also from the old Huang cult, right? ”

Shi Hui's face turned blue, he didn't dare to leak the relationship between Guan Lin and Huang Laoxi, he said coldly: "At this time, I am still quick to speak, then no wonder my heart is like iron, hatred is like a furnace, and people come... Hang me, whip, let him talk nonsense! ”

Not much...

A crisp whipping sounded in the torture chamber.

The clouds were surging in the sky, the sky was dark, and the sound of muffled thunder was faintly heard.

…

"Ahh

Not far away, the official road sergeant Xie and the sergeant, they have already received the news that Yu Lin is defending, and the enemy general Lu Xun has been captured alive...

This gave them a brief sigh of relief.

It is to sigh at the power of the eight-bull crossbow.

I also sighed that the thief captured the king... Finally, the war in Jiaozhou ended in stages.

Can... It's just a moment.

Shi Chang felt that something was wrong, and he suddenly thought of something terrible.

- "Shihui, this kid, won't beat Lu Xun to death, right?"

Oh, yes...

This Lu Xun is the person Guan Lin wants, he didn't die on the battlefield, and he was lucky not to die under the crossbow of the eight bulls, but he must not be killed!

Considering the hatred between the Shi family and Lu Xun, there is such a possibility!

"Ahh

Thinking of this, Shi Xie sneezed again.

The soldier hurriedly urged, "Hurry, hurry up!" ”

…

…

At dusk, Mi Fang commanded a group of coolies to carry stones on the tower of Gangneung City.

Including Mi Fang, they are all ragged... Covered in mud, it is obvious that the errand of building a new city in Gangneung City is not easy.

Money, manpower, geographical environment, city design and planning, city structure, defense...

Weather, time, natural disasters, water supply and drainage systems, road facilities, ground structure, waterproofing, zoning...

After all, Mi Fang, the Taishou of Jiangling City, this shrewd businessman, also felt that his head was big for a while, and many things had to be done by himself in order to understand where the specific problems were? How to speed up the construction period. If built impregnable.

Speaking of which, after the matter of the sale of "blood is not wet" to the north was handed over to Fu Shiren, Mi Fang finally had the energy to build a new city in Jiangling City.

Of course, the abundance of gold on Guan Lin's side is also an indispensable condition.

Mi Fang raised her head, looked at the sky, wiped her sweat, and there were tears in her eyes, which were standard pain and happiness. "Quick, see if you can work for another hour in this day, work harder, and start eating in an hour."

Mi Fang showed a rare perseverance and talent for building the city, and for ten consecutive days, the progress of the construction of the new city of Jiangling City was rapid.

At this moment, after Mi Fang had just commanded a wave of coolies to move the stones, a subordinate scribe of Mi Fang quietly walked behind him.

"Mi Taishou?"

"How?" Mi Fang recognized this scribe, who was responsible for the purchase of stone in the construction of the city, and was Mi Fang's confidant.

"Ahem..."The scribe coughed lightly, and then lowered his voice, "The batch of stones that Mi Taishou saw before needs a full 50,000 gold... It's too expensive, even if Guan Sigongzi has a cornucopia, he can't waste it so much, Xia Guan found a batch of slightly inferior ones yesterday, and they look exactly the same as the original batch, if..."

At this point, the scribe's words came to an abrupt end...

Mi Fang's eyes were certain, he took a step closer to the scribe and lowered his voice, "What do you mean?" Changed this batch of stones? ”

"yes!" The scribe nodded again and again, "In this way, won't the extra 20,000 gold go into Mi Tai's own pocket?" The small ones too... Also..."

The scribe showed an open-eyed look when he saw the money, and looked at Mi Fang happily.

In his opinion, Mi Taishou, who has always been greedy for money and profit, will never give up such a profitless deal.

But...

Strange things happened, Mi Fang was still laughing, but in the end, his expression suddenly became cold.

"You're bold—"

Mi Fang's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "All the private pockets have come to Lao Tzu's head?" If Lao Tzu doesn't do it, everyone will still think that my Mi Fang is an insatiable and eager person for quick success..."

Belch... Hearing Mi Fang's words, the scribe was stunned.

A sentence subconsciously rose in his heart.

- "Mi Taishou, aren't you?"

"Someone."

Without waiting for the scribe to understand, Mi Fang shouted.

"Mi Tai Shou." As soon as he arrived, several guards rushed over.

Mi Fang pointed to the nose of this scribe and said: "This person bewitched Ben Taishou to cut corners and fill his own pockets, how can he take it down, and behead it at noon tomorrow to show the public, so as to set an example!" ”

Yes...

Mi Fang's words made these guards stunned, it is indeed a big crime to bewitch Taishou, but it is not to... Just behead it for public display, right?

How do these guards know what Mi Fang is thinking?

Ya, what is the purpose of building the two new cities of Jiangling and Changsha?

That was to prevent the sneak attack of the stinky and shameless Jiangdong Blue-eyed and the backstabbing of the group of rats.

Mi Fang is a person who holds grudges.

Even if thousands of miles are separated, even after so much time, Mi Fang's hatred for Sun Quan and Dongwu has not diminished, and it is still enough to melt everything!

This new city is about preventing this group of rats? How could he Mi Fang cut corners?

Even, even if the money is not enough, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can pay Mi Fang's money.

This is one of them.

Second, you must know that eighty percent of the income of this new city is now owned by his Mi Fang's "good third brother" Guan Lin.

And thirty percent of them are his Mi Fang's, if this is a project that will collapse at the touch of a button, is it someone else? The one who pits is him Mi Fang himself...

Cutting corners, Mi Fang felt that someone was stealing his money and provoking his majesty!

Therefore, when the scribe said that he was cutting corners, Mi Fang's heart burst out with three words:

- "Your Sister's"

Even if it is to take another 10,000 steps back, according to Guan Lin's concept, after the new city is built, the water villa, and even a large number of workshops, and even the 'blood-wetting' production workshops, will be moved to this new city.

What if the new city is lost? That... How much does Mi Fang gain and lose? This number is unimaginable.

It is precisely because of this, whether it is from the face, or from the inside...

Mi Fang must severely punish this scribe to set an example and see who dares to touch the money for building the city...

Ya, don't take him millet fang, not dry food!

"What? What Ben Taishou said, it's not good? ”

Seeing that the guards didn't react, Mi Fang raised her voice...

At this time, the guards hurriedly gave up their hands, and then dragged the scribe down the city tower, the scribe was still stunned at first, until he was dragged to the city ladder, and then realized that the catastrophe was coming...

He shouted hysterically: "Mi Tai Shou... Mi Tai Shou..."

"Mi Tai Shou... You... Do you hear me? That's a good thing... You... When did you change? How did you become like that! ”

Hehe...

Listening to this voice, Mi Fang only felt like laughing.

He raised his head quite magnificently, and said loudly: "Ben Taishou has always been the first in righteousness, and he has always been a person who gives up his small family, for everyone, and has noble feelings!" ”

"This kind of stealing chickens and dogs, stealing beams and changing pillars, how can this Taishou be in the same league as the dirt? Hmph, if you find out one, Ben Taishou will do one, and he will not be spared! ”

For a while, even if it was dusk, a ray of righteous light was about to be sprinkled on the earth!

At this moment, another guard reported: "Mi Taishou, the prince of Yunqi has brought a general named Hao Zhao, and he is watching the construction of the new city..."

"Hao Zhao?" Mi Fang pursed his mouth, and he quickly remembered, "Isn't that the commander of the captives who married the daughters of the Pang and Xi families?" Cloud flags... Why did you take him to see this? He knows how to build cities? ”

Although there were such questions, Mi Fang still hurriedly ordered.

"Quick, lead the way!"

Mi Fang looked a little nervous, not because of Hao Zhao, you know... Guan Lin is the one who built the new city - the gold master!

The owner of the gold came to inspect, which is a big deal for the engineering party.

As for Mi Fang's suspicions:

- This Hao Zhao, do you know how to build a city?

Hehe...

According to the original historical records, there were only two cities that were easy to defend and difficult to attack in the Three Kingdoms era.

- Gangneung City, Chencang City!

Among them, Jiangling City is easy to defend and difficult to attack because the new city built by Guan Yu has an extremely thick foundation;

As for Chen Cangcheng... From the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, all of them were built by Hao Zhao, and they were known as "Chencang Lower City" or "Han Chencang City" in history.

Is Gangneung City hard or not? I have to ask Cao Pi when he attacked Wu in three ways, and Cao Ren who was disgraced offline...

and Zhu Ran, who guarded Jiangling and shocked Cao Wei in World War I!

One more thing, Zhu Ran's word meaning "sealed"!

Is Chen Cangcheng hard or not? Then I still ask Zhuge Liang, who commanded the attack of 30,000 troops, and ask Zhuge Liang, in the face of more than 1,000 defenders, why didn't he capture this Chencang City in more than 20 days?

Gangneung City and Chencang City are both hard, but which one is harder? Seem... It has to be Hao Zhao's Chen Cangcheng who is even better!

Really...

Over there, Hao Zhao followed Guan Lin to see the drawings of the entire new city, and after the construction progress, he immediately sighed.

"Surrounded by water on both sides, in this way, the old and new cities, complement each other, and the design is ingenious... If the enemy wants to break through Gangneung, they need to attack the city twice, which is undoubtedly double the difficulty, but..."

Feeling the ingenuity of the construction of the new city of Jiangling City, Hao Zhao immediately put forward a new view to Guan Lin, "However, I have a method, although it will increase the cost of construction, it will make the difficulty of the enemy's siege from double to four!" ”

This...

Hao Zhao's words made Guan Lin slightly stunned.

He doesn't know what the so-called double difficulty, quadruple difficulty...

He only had one feeling, with Hao Zhao, the top general who built and defended the city, he was doubly happy!

Now, looking at this meaning, Hao Zhao is extremely enthusiastic about the construction of Jiangling City New Town, and he can't wait to devote himself to it, which in Guan Lin's opinion, must be four times as happy!

Guan Lin stretched out his hand and signaled, "Bo Dao, but it doesn't matter, money is not a problem..."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Why are you suddenly looking forward to Soochow's backstabbing?

So the question is, what if Soochow's backstab stabbed to the iron plate? What would be the consequences of that?

Does it hurt?

…

…

Inside the torture chamber.

Lu Xun's arms were hung on the beams of the house, the clothes on his body were torn ragged by the leather whip, blood marks oozed out, the skin on his back was already open, and the person had tended to faint, but the leather whip was still falling.

The scribe who made the transcript frowned and looked at this out-of-control scene, and said, "Childe, he fainted, or..."

Shihui must block Lu Xun's mouth, he can't allow the matter of "Jiaozhou to buy ordnance from Huang Laoxi" exposed, let alone let Huang Laoxi's identity leak because of his Shihui.

Therefore, Shi Hui was determined to let Lu Xun die in an extremely humiliating and painful way.

"Wake up—"

The torturer was also a little weak-hearted, and looked at Shihui without action.

The scribe said: "There is a regulation promulgated by the governor of the seven counties in Jiaozhou, the number of lashes in a day cannot exceed 100, and the prisoner will stop fainting!" ”

Shi Hui said coldly: "My father is too kind, otherwise, he would have already met a nobleman, how can he allow this Dongwu to ride on our heads for so long?" You woke him up..."

That's when it happened.

A bucket of water was splashed over, Lu Xun slowly opened his eyes, he was extremely weak, but his eyes looking at Shihui were full of ridicule and contempt.

"You rely on, rely on Huang Laoxi... It's just a fluke that beat me, you... You're proud... Proud of what? ”

The more Lu Xun said this, the more it made Shihui feel powerless and afraid...

He said coldly: "Do you believe that I will dedicate your wife to Huang Laoxi-"

"How dare you—" Lu Xun glared at him with tears in his eyes.

Shihui still wants to fight...

"Stop!" A powerful voice came out...

Shi Hui turned his head, and he was surprised to see his father Shi Xie...

He exclaimed, "Dad? What are you doing here? ”

"If I don't come, you'll be in trouble." Shi Xie glared at his son fiercely, but soon, his gaze became loose, he knew... This is not to blame the son, the hatred between the Shi family and the Lu family has been formed since the Guanshan Stone Cave in Changsha County... Never die!

If it weren't for... Yunqi Gongzi, Ta Shixie will also deal with Lu Xun so cruelly.

"Send Mr. Lu down and ask Lang Zhong to treat him..."

Shi Xie's words surprised Shi Hui and Lu Xun.

Especially Lu Xun, after a short period of surprise, he thought of something even more terrifying.

- "The Shi family killed me and I still don't understand my hatred? They're going to... Do you want to kill my entire Lu family? They... They're so cruel—'

Lu Xun wanted to ask... But now his weak body can't open his mouth at all.

After a while, Lu Xun was led down...

Shi Hui asked his father puzzled, "Dad... He... He is our enemy! ”

"But he is also the person that the prince of Yunqi wants!" Shi Xie's words are undoubted..."This Lu Xun, no one is allowed to move, after Lang Zhong is cured, he will be entangled, and let him go, along with everyone in the Lu family!" ”

This...

Shi Hui was stunned, he opened his mouth, trying to persuade his father... But because of the four words "Yunqi Gongzi", any words of persuasion will be pale and powerless at this moment.

"Why is the prince of Yunqi... Why do you want him Lu Xun? Shi Hui then asked.

"This is 30,000 Lu family troops!" Shi Xie sighed with emotion: "In addition, is it difficult, do you really think that if you kill Lu Xun, we will be able to make peace in Jiaozhou?" Yunqi Gongzi is helping Jiaozhou! ”

Shi Xie's words made Shi Hui tremble, and he thought of a terrible thing.

Sun Ce was assassinated by the assassins because he had killed too many wealthy clans in Jiangdong.

The Lu family is a big clan in Wu County, if Lu Xun is really killed by other Shihui, then... That... I'm afraid that the disaster between him and Jiaozhou has just begun.

From this point of view, Yunqi Gongzi accepted him Lu Xun, and accepting this Lu family army is the best destination.

Shi Hui thought of the first layer...

Shi Yi was older, and while he stroked his beard, he pondered, he had already thought of the second layer.

- "The Lu family's army was defeated, the overseer's Buqi died, the titular patriarch Lu Ji died, but Lu Xun was put back by us?" This... Hehe, that's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?'

Shi Yiba smacked his mouth, his eyes gradually condensed, and he seemed to understand the situation.

This cloud flag boy laid out the game early in the morning!

This Lu Xun is destined to abandon Wu Toushu's bureau!

Shi Yi chirped again.

- "Lu Xun and Lu Jiajun have no choice, Yunqi Gongzi's move... If you want to get away with it, you are smart!'

- "Fortunately, he is a friend of Jiaozhou... How lucky!'

…

…

The morning light was faint, the weather was still a little cold, and Sun Ru, who was released first, stood outside Bushan City in the wind, looking at the gate...

The wind blew on her sleeves, looking so thin and desolate.

Lu Yan came to her side, "Mother, you go to the carriage first, I'll wait for my father outside." ”

Sun Ru's tone was like that of a child, "The clansmen have all been released, why hasn't Bo Yan come back yet?" Do you want... Do you want to send someone to ask? ”

"My father has a leg injury and is expected to have difficulty moving." Lu Yan comforted: "If Jiaozhou really wants to embarrass the Lu family, there is no reason to let us go, only to leave my father." ”

"Maybe I'm worried..."Sun Ru pursed her lips, "I didn't feel anything in prison, but when I suddenly came out, I always felt... I feel like I'm going to have an accident! ”

As soon as the words fell.

The silent door like a giant beast hibernation opened with a "creak", and a carriage walked out of it, the groom was a member of the Lu family army, and there were dry food, water, and medicinal herbs in the carriage...

Other than that, Lu Xun was lying there.

"Madam, General Lu is inside..."The groom saw Sun Ru and hurriedly reminded.

Sun Ru and Lu Yan quickly entered the carriage...

But when he saw Lu Xun at this moment, he was covered in injuries, his eyes were closed, and his tears were like a bead chain with a broken thread, and the "snap, snap" poured out...

Sun Ru and Lu Yan saw Lu Xun's appearance for the first time.

"Bo Yan, Bo Yan..."Sun Ru hurriedly called Lu Xun's name.

Lu Xun is not unconscious, it's just that he is too shrewd and too wise, so wise that he has seen the future and seen through everything.

"Why? Why don't you kill me-"

Lu Xun wept and sobbed as he muttered: "You let me go, you let me go, then the entire Lu family... Then the entire Lu family is over, it's over-"

"It's all over—"

At this moment, Lu Xun's face full of pathos was full of six big characters:

- Mourning is greater than heart death!
