Chapter 10: Seven More Days to Live
The tent curtains were messy from the scattered wind, and they were still rattling with the aftermath.
The sunlight outside spilled in a small piece, and the fine dust flew quietly, and because of its own lightness and weakness, it could only soar by the wind.
Long.
"Bang!"
Li Hongyan straightened up and slowly smashed the giant halberd on the ground next to her, shaking all the dust away.
She said lightly:
"I remember, you were captured in the Jinghe Temple."
As soon as Chen Kuang's shoulders were loosened, he immediately made a look of exhaustion, propped his hands on the ground, and knelt down.
His acting skills are too poor, so it is better not to do superfluous actions as much as possible, and only hide his facial expressions and other reactions with fear and awe.
He subconsciously compared the pressure when Fang Cai faced Li Hongyan's giant halberd with the feeling he had before when he faced Huo Hengxuan's actual killing intent.
Obviously, the latter brought him much more instinctive fear, after all, it was almost the equivalent of dying.
However, Li Hongyan was at most threatening, and Huo Hengxuan at that time had no way to retreat, and there was a high probability that he really wanted to kill him.
It is not possible to determine strength or weakness.
Chen Kuang lowered his head:
"Yes, I was summoned into the palace by the first emperor at that time, just to give him the pill."
Li Hongyan scoffed:
"I still think this Su Yu is really hopelessly stupid, and he is not even afraid of death and continues to play music and dance, so it makes sense."
No...... He's actually that stupid.
Chen Kuang complained in his heart, and then was stunned.
Su Yu...... Is this last emperor of the Great Liang really so stupid?
In other words, he may be stupid, but a stupid person with high power is also bound to be cowardly and greedy.
The army is pressing, life and death, is it really possible that Su Yu is still in the mood to gather musicians at this time, sing and dance in the main hall and wait for death?
Why...... He doesn't run?
Could that missing memory have anything to do with Su Yu?
Chen Kuang's heart suddenly slipped through an inexplicable extremely uncomfortable coldness, like a poisonous snake coiling around his heart.
Li Hongyan looked at the young man in front of her, and mistook his slight trembling as fear.
She then said coldly:
"So, Mr. Musician, may I ask what elixir you want to bring to His Majesty Su Yu?"
Since he had been captured for five days, Chen Kuang must have been searched more than once, but obviously nothing was found.
Chen Kuang said calmly:
"At that time, the general led the black armor army to attack the city, and I was suddenly summoned to Jinghe Palace, and I knew that there was a lot of luck."
"The emperor has to take it away until he dies, and there is absolutely no need to let the second person know the existence of such an important thing."
"Once I hand it over, I will surely die."
"So...... You chose to bet on your life and didn't take the pill with you in the first place. ”
Li Hongyan narrowed her eyes:
"Huh...... In this way, you, a helpless little person who can be completely driven, have failed Su Yu's painstaking cultivation when it is time to repay the favor. ”
Chen Kuang didn't speak, and chose to acquiesce.
Li Hongyan said: "What are you deliberately exposing yourself for now?" ”
Chen Kuang said: "Why didn't the Jinghe Palace bring the pill, now that's why." ”
Li Hongyan nodded: "To live." ”
Reasonable, no loopholes.
If it was before, Chen Kuang really didn't need to deliberately expose his secrets, because he had no status, and even if he became a slave after the war, at least he would have a chance to live.
But now because of that bowl of severed rice, I have to take the initiative to stand up and save my life.
As for why you don't just call someone, it's also easy to explain.
Because next door to him is Huo Hengxuan, this old guy looks at Jiao'er Langdang, but he is loyal to Daliang.
If Chen Kuang opened his mouth in front of him, he was afraid that he would be beaten through his brain in an instant!
If he knew that the secret he was guarding was in the hands of a villain, and he betrayed Da Liang without hesitation, I don't know how desperate he should be?
Li Hongyan laughed in her heart.
She looked at Chen Kuang, her scarlet eyes flickering:
"Okay, as long as you tell the whereabouts of the elixir, I will keep you from dying."
The blind musician shook his head:
"General Li, do you remember what I just said - such an important thing is categorically no longer necessary for a second person to know about its existence."
Chen Kuang raised his head, and there were undried blood stains on his face with his eyes closed, and his expression was extremely calm:
"At this moment, I am the only person in the world who knows the whereabouts of the elixir."
"General Lee."
Li Hongyan was silent for a moment, and the fierce light in her eyes was blazing, like a tiger trying to choose someone to devour:
"You're ...... Threaten me? ”
"Do you know that there are Three Tribulation Sect Immortal Masters in the East Corner Tower at this time, even if you don't want to say it, you can't help it."
"The villain doesn't dare."
Chen Kuang said: "If the villain dares to do this, he has already put his life and death out of the way, not that he is unwilling to tell the general the whereabouts of the elixir, but he is miserable when he thinks that even if he survives, he will still have to run for his livelihood in the future." ”
He sighed:
"The villain is despicable, and the extravagance of court life has been seen once, if he lives like an ant again, it is better to die."
"The general doesn't have to bother the immortal master to mobilize the crowd like this, as long as the next wish is satisfied, he will know everything in the next."
It's really a complete villain.
Others suffer for the ruin of the country and the death of the family, and he cries for the loss of glory and wealth.
Li Hongyan's tone suddenly softened:
"What do you want?"
Chen Kuang said: "I want to live for another seven days, like the emperor, for another seven days." ”
Ha......
Li Hongyan almost laughed out loud, as if looking at a clown at the moment, and said:
"Like an emperor? Everyone in the Imperial City is already a prisoner, is it possible that you want to live in that Jinghe Palace, and then let me serve you personally? ”
Thank you, it's better to let Chu Wenruo serve me......
Chen Kuang slandered in his heart, and then shook his head and said:
"The most beautiful food in the world, the best wine, and the dragon's gum."
Li Hongyan looked at him condescendingly, and Chen Kuang's tone was flattering and flattering.
She thought to herself that if she was really a despicable and lowly person, she would really say such things as the emperor's golden hoe.
In his opinion, I'm afraid that the emperor's life is like this-
"Dragon gum" is a precious guqin in the palace of Emperor Liang, which is priceless.
For a musician, to own such a piano is probably the best life in the world.
Li Hongyan's scarlet eyes were bent, and she seemed to have a hint of a smile, but when she looked closely, they were completely cold.
"It's so simple, Mr. Musician would have said no—"
"But unfortunately, you threatened me just now, which made me feel a little uncomfortable."
Li Hongyan walked to Chen Kuang's side, and with that cold smile, she suddenly raised her foot and stepped on his two shin bones casually.
"Click!"
Chen Kuang curled up on the ground all of a sudden, and his back was instantly soaked in cold sweat.
Under his robe, two blood stains were revealed.
Li Hongyan moved her feet, looked at him coldly, and clapped her hands:
"Qingcuo, take him back, and from today onwards, send him Sanhu delicacies and Xinfeng wine every day."
"Oh...... Also, by the way, send him the dragon gum guqin to the cell. ”
"This prison is your palace for seven days, enjoy it."
"In seven days, whether you want it or not, I will know the whereabouts of the pill."
With that, he turned around and lifted the wingman and left the tent with the two black-armored guards.
The black-armored guard named Qingcuo walked in quietly.
He looked at the blind man on the ground whose legs had been crushed, and paused hesitantly, as if he was at a loss.
A few seconds later, he stepped forward, squatted slightly, and passed his hands behind Chen Kuang's back and under the crook of his legs.
Picked up the latter...... Princess hug.
Chen Kuang, who couldn't even endure the pain of breaking his leg, almost didn't stop it, and almost opened his eyes.
