Chapter 442: Torture

Gu Shenwei hadn't heard from Chu Nanping for a long time.

It was nearly a year ago, because he felt that the killers he had cultivated were useless, Gu Shenwei found a retired teacher named Hu Shining in Biyu City, and hired him to take three teenagers to Shule Country to take charge of a secret base there.

Among the three teenagers, Tie Linglong secretly ran away, and her whereabouts were unknown at this time, but Chu Nanping and the young man named Nie Zeng should follow Hu Shining.

Jinpeng Fort and the Beiting coalition army swallowed up the Shule Kingdom, no matter how secret the base is, it is estimated that it will be exposed, Hu Shining's loyalty has never been tested, he accepted the appointment of the Dragon King in order to mix a bite to eat, and he still has a deep awe for the former master, and the fate of the group of children handed over to him is worrying.

Gu Shenwei inquired in detail and confirmed that the young man who looked like a woman was Chu Nanping, and he was alone and had no companions, which showed a hint of foresight.

Chu Nanping probably heard that the Dragon King occupied the Xiaoyao Sea, so he rushed from the west to defect, thinking that Huiguo was an ally of the Dragon King, so he didn't hide his whereabouts in particular.

It was a simple-minded teenager, and a short killer education wouldn't leave much of a mark on him.

What made Gu Shenwei even more uneasy and puzzled was that it had been almost two months since he came to Huiguo, why hadn't Chu Nanping shown up for a long time?

It was already dark, but Gu Shenwei didn't want to wait one more night, so he led five hundred soldiers into the city overnight, occupied the palace for the second time, and ordered someone to arrest the important ministers of Huiguo from home, together with the eunuchs and palace maids in charge of the palace, a total of more than 100 people, who were detained separately, and tortured by the soldiers separately, just to know the whereabouts of the young swordsman.

Gu Shen led a small team of guards for himself and broke directly into the queen's palace, the game had ended early, he didn't want to go around in circles anymore, he wanted to know the secret that this woman hid and didn't say immediately.

In order to win the hearts of the people of Huiguo, the Dragon King has always maintained restraint, and now, he wants to use the most direct and powerful means.

The soldiers were arresting people everywhere in the palace, and the queen naturally did not know that she was already dressed up and waiting for the dragon king, and the little prince shrank in the corner with a gloomy face, not looking at the dragon king who broke in.

"The dragon king is so imposing, what's the big deal, can't wait until tomorrow morning to say it?" The queen's tone was not as proud as during the day, but there was a hint of coldness and sarcasm.

"You know why. ”

Behind the Dragon King, ten guards unsheathed their swords, which was more convincing than any cruel words.

"I don't know. The queen hesitated for a moment, still resisting.

"Take the child away. ”

The two guards walked into the corner, and drove the little prince outside, and the boy was like a little beast that had just fallen into the hands of man, struggling and cursing lifelessly, after all, he was no match for the two adults.

The queen's face changed, but instead of rushing to the rescue, she softened her tone and said to the dragon king: "What do you want? Huiguo is already yours, what else is there to be dissatisfied with? He is still a child, and you have already punished him." ”

Gu Shenwei didn't answer immediately, he stood there as if thinking about an unrelated question, and soon, there was a scream like killing a pig outside, the little child who had been pampered since he was a child was experiencing the first setback in his life, far more than he imagined.

"Stop!" called the queen, unable to keep her composure, for though she had many ambitions, all of which revolved around her son, and every call of the boy brought her tenfold pain.

Gu Shenwei looked at her coldly, he didn't torture the boy in front of the woman, it was already considered merciful.

"I said, say anything, let them stop. ”

Gu Shenwei waited for a while before waving to the guards behind him, and someone went out to give orders, and the screams gradually stopped.

The queen's demeanor was in a state of confusion, her face was red and white, her eyes were panicked, and her chest rose and fell violently, not much different from that of an ordinary woman," he ...... Shangguan Jianyi still has a conspiracy. ”

This was not what Gu Shenwei wanted to know the most, but he didn't interrupt the queen and let her continue.

"He wanted to provoke a rebellion and kill the dragon king in Huiguo. ”

The queen said what she thought was the most important secret, and when she found that the dragon king did not show surprise because of this, her heart was suddenly confused, and the words that followed were very fast.

"He said, you have to let the Dragon King stay in Huiguo, away from the main force of the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, but you are not easy to deceive, if you want to stay, the best way is to refuse the Dragon Army to enter the city, once you are suspicious, you will not leave easily. He went to contact the royal families of Kang, Sha, and An and the garrisons in various places, and prepared to lead an army with an absolute advantage in numbers to fight back, and there were still three days before the appointed time. ”

It seems that this is Shangguan Jianyi's plan to persuade King Hui and his ministers, if the Dragon King did not let Dugu Xian reorganize the entire army, this plan may still have the possibility of success, but now it is just a set of empty words.

The garrisons in various parts of Xiaoyaohai, regardless of size, have people loyal to the Dragon King, even if Shangguan Jianyi can successfully persuade some people, it is not enough to cobble together an army, as for the three royal families of Kang, Sha, and An, there are only hidden people in their hands, and there is not much combat effectiveness at all.

Intelligence is sent to the Dragon King from all over the Xiaoyao Sea every day, so he has a far more grasp of the situation than the ministers of the Huiguo.

It is impossible for Shangguan Jianyi to see the situation clearly, those words are just to let Huiguo's fools work for him with peace of mind, and Gu Shenwei dares to guarantee that after three days, there will never be any army.

The secret in the queen's heart seemed to be squeezed dry, but there was no mention of Chu Nanping, perhaps she felt that the young swordsman was not important at all, so Gu Shenwei asked: "There is a young man with a long sword, everyone says that he looks like a girl, I want to know his whereabouts." ”

According to this day's contact, Gu Shenwei judged that the surprise on the queen's face was real and credible, she probably thought that the dragon king was deliberately making trouble, so as to find an opportunity to kill, "Dragon King, I am telling the truth, it's all right, you go and ask the prime minister, he also knows Shangguan Jianyi's plan, you said that we will not die." ”

Gu Shenwei wanted to remind her that his promise was made before the little prince hurt people, but it was just a senseless word of tongue, and he stared at the queen tightly, as if he wanted to dig out all her internal organs with his eyes.

There are still some things that are wrong, Gu Shenwei doesn't know if this is the queen's problem, or because he didn't ask for the clues of Chu Nanping.

In the eyes of the hegemon, human life is like grass mustard, but even if it is the most brutal emperor in the world, there will always be a few people in his heart whose lives are a little heavier than grass mustard.

Especially Gu Shenwei needs Chu Nanping, that young swordsman is most likely to take the place of the lotus girl in the future and protect the Dragon King's death, if he dies, it will be a major loss that is difficult to make up.

Long Chuanyun walked in and nodded to the Dragon King, indicating that the torture outside had a result.

Gu Shenwei knew that early tomorrow morning, the Dragon King's atrocities would spread throughout the capital of Huiguo, and the little good impression he had just established among the people was likely to disappear because of this, so he had to take some remedial measures.

All the ministers who were captured in the palace, along with the queen mother and son, were openly declared traitors, and they planned a plot to assassinate the crown prince, and the dragon king wanted to imprison them all and give them to the returning prince as gifts.

This statement is not unassailable, but there will be many people who believe it.

It was a palace guard who revealed Chu Nanping's whereabouts, and the other ministers confessed a lot of content, Shangguan Jianyi's conspiracy, the ambition of the queen's mother and son, and someone's habit of liking twin children, all of which were revealed, but no one had ever seen a handsome young man with a sword.

This guard, surnamed Li, was not among the first group of arrestees, but the large-scale torture of the Dragon King frightened everyone, he was one of the dozens of people who voluntarily "surrendered", and without waiting for the soldiers to torture, he brought up the unusual young swordsman.

"He just looks like a girl, but if you look closely, his expression and temperament are completely man. ”

Li Shouwei was very impressed by Chu Nanping, and he was anxious to clear up his involvement in front of the Dragon King, so he spoke a little upside down, and he was finally able to explain the general course of the matter.

Chu Nanping came to Huiguo alone and lived in a remote inn in the city, which still attracted the attention of many people, and a group of rogue teenagers went in to stir up trouble, and they were all knocked to the ground by him.

Then I don't know who sent the news that this beautiful boy was the personal guard of the Dragon King.

It was at this time that Li Weiwei heard about the young man, and the distinguished guest in the palace, that is, Shangguan Jianyi, found him, hoping that he could go to inquire about the situation.

Guarding Li did not dare to refuse, so he went to see Chu Nanping alone, and in the name of the king, asked the young swordsman about his true identity, claiming that Huiguo had formed an alliance with the Dragon King, and the Dragon King's personal guards deserved the best reception.

The young swordsman received Guard Li coldly, did not say his name and surname, and did not comment on the rumors of the Dragon King's guard, but only said that he would stay for one night temporarily and leave early tomorrow morning.

Guard Li returned to the palace to resume his life.

This was all the information that the Li guard could confess, and he did not hear about the whereabouts of the young swordsman, so he guessed that the strange young man had left the capital.

If it weren't for the handsomeness of the boy and the occasional murderous aura that impressed him, he wouldn't have remembered it for so long.

As for Shangguan Jianyi, he was very satisfied with Li Guard, and rewarded him with a lot of silver taels, but he didn't say a word about his purpose.

Gu Shenwei can be sure that Chu Nanping has never arrived at the Dragon Army camp, and it is likely that he has never left the capital of Huiguo at all.

In the whole story, what made Gu Shenwei feel the most incredible was that Chu Nanping was so careless, in the early years, when the boy and Tie Linglong accompanied the Dragon King to walk the rivers and lakes to avoid the Jinpeng killer, his appearance was a problem, and he often needed to hide his appearance, and now he came to Xiaoyao Sea alone from the fallen Shule country, it stands to reason that he should be more careful.

Anyway, the young swordsman who refused to be named must be Chu Nanping, it has been two months, and it is difficult for Gu Shenwei to have hope anymore.

If you want to see people in life, you want to see corpses in death, led by Li Guard, Gu Shenwei led the troops straight to the small inn where Chu Nanping lived, determined to ask for an understanding.

The night was dark, the cold wind was biting, Gu Shenwei gradually calmed down, and found that he couldn't understand Shangguan Jianyi's behavior in Huiguo, he used the queen to leave the Dragon King here, but so far he didn't make any moves, the sea was peaceful, and the ruthless killer seemed to have forgotten his plan.
