The fierce wind and snow are still raging, as if they want to take advantage of the darkest moment before dawn to completely swallow the whole world.

In front of the majestic hall of the head helm of the Loyal and Righteous League, hundreds of disciples of the alliance stood neatly and silently in the wind and snow.

Not long ago, it was in this extremely spacious open space that they had started a fierce battle with the Red Sun Sect Master of Beirong, Duxiao Dome.

Dozens of disciples in the alliance were killed and injured in this battle, and Liao Jingdong, the master of Shunfeng Hall, was also hit by a red yang palm and has not woken up to this day.

The falling white snowflakes covered the bright red blood stains on the ground, but they couldn't hide the anger and hatred in the hearts of everyone in the Loyalty Alliance!

In the face of the raging emotions of the group, the alliance leader Xue Youyou, who was sitting in the lobby, was also in a heavy mood.

In tonight's bloody battle, the Loyal Alliance has paid an extremely heavy price. However, the person who caused this result, the Chiyang Sect Leader Duxiao Qiong, had escaped safely.

And what worries Xue Youyou the most is that Luo'er is also gone!

Previously, she had been so busy wrestling with Duxiao Dome that she hadn't noticed when Luo'er had disappeared.

It wasn't until she caught the unconscious Gongyu Sarong near the foot of the mountain that she realized that the dungeon had been robbed, and at the same time, she was shocked to find that Luo'er was missing!

Xue Youyou immediately led people in person and searched the entire back mountain, but only found four corpses with different ways of dying, including the Gongyu Sa Yan who used to be known as Gong Yan.

And one thing that is very strange is that among the other three corpses, except for one headless corpse, the remaining two corpses are actually subordinates of the Loyal Alliance Civil Wood Hall.

Regarding this fact, the civil engineering hall master Guo Shixun also gave a set of reasonable arguments-

Just when everyone was fighting with Duxiao Dome, he suddenly thought that this might be a trick by the other party to lure the enemy.

So, he hurriedly rushed to the dungeon, only to find that Gongyu Sarong had been rescued by his brother Gongyu Sayan and Tianxiang Sect Leader Feng Yan.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, he, the master of the Civil Engineering Hall, didn't have time to think about it at all, so he hurriedly gathered a few of his subordinates, looked for the footprints left by the three people, and tracked them all the way.

As a result, they finally caught up with Gongyu Sarong and the others in the back mountain.

It's just that the situation at that time has become very weird, Feng Yan killed Gongyu Sayan, and he himself was killed by Gongyu Sarong.

But just when Guo Shixun led his subordinates to arrest Gongyu Sarong, who was about to continue to escape, the Chiyang Sect Leader Duxiaoqiong suddenly appeared, killed two of his subordinates, and then fled with Gongyu Sarong.

When Guo Shixun and the others then chased down the mountain, they found that Gongyu Sarong had been caught, and Duxiaoqiong was gone.

Of course, Xue Youyou could guess that Guo Shixun did not tell the whole truth.

It's just that almost all the disciples of the torture hall who were in charge of guarding the dungeon at that time were killed, and only one seriously injured Xin Jie remained, who was also in a coma due to excessive blood loss.

Therefore, there is really no other way to think about it than to accept Guo Shixun's words.

However, according to Xue Youyou's speculation, although this civil engineering hall master who eats inside and crawls outside is a thief, he should not have the ability or opportunity to hurt Luo'er, who has been guarding against him.

But where did she go?

If it is true as Guo Shixun said, Duxiaoqiong once rescued Gongyu Sarong, but in the end, he abandoned him at the foot of the mountain and fled alone.

That is enough to show that this seriously injured Chiyang Sect Master really has no ability to break out of the encirclement of the Loyalty Alliance with his beloved disciple who is also seriously injured and not good at acting.

From this, he should not have the ability to catch Luo'er and take him away silently.

But if it weren't for the solitary smile, who would make Luo'er disappear out of thin air like this?

There was only one person—Ice.

There are Beirong assassins breaking into the palace tonight, and of course Han Bing will always be by Emperor Yu's cold side. And the internal injuries that Duxiaoqiong suffered before must have been due to this young master.

After that, since this Chiyang Sect Master came to the Loyalty Alliance to make trouble again, it should be possible for Han Bing to follow after him.

But if Han Bing really came, why didn't he appear from beginning to end?

Could it be that Luo'er went to him for something?

......

Plagued by all these chaotic thoughts, Xue Youyou was really in no mood to interrogate the Gongyu Sarong who didn't know when he would wake up.

After listening to Wan Hengjiang, the law enforcement officer of the Torture Hall, report on the casualties of the Loyal and Righteous League tonight, she couldn't help but sigh, and said with a gloomy expression: "For the relatives of the deceased, we must be compassionate and compensatory, and for the injured, we must be treated well." ”

"Yes!"

After Wan Hengjiang bowed in response, he immediately asked in a deep voice, "What should be done with the Beirong assassin Gongyu Sarong who was captured?"

Xue Youyou couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked, "I wonder what Wan Law Enforcement can propose about this?"

"This thief has killed many of the helmsmen in our alliance, and he really has a common enmity with the Loyal and Righteous Alliance! And tonight, dozens of disciples in our alliance were killed and injured by Duxiaoqiong and others who came to rescue him. This account will naturally also be recorded on his Gongyu Sarong's head!"

Speaking of this, Wan Hengjiang raised his voice suddenly, and continued with an impassioned expression: "My subordinates think that for such a heinous thief, they should be punished with the most severe punishment of this alliance - the corpse of five horses to set an example!"

Xue Youyu heard this, and was silent for a while without speaking.

She knew that what Wan Hengjiang said was indeed reasonable, and she must not tolerate a mortal enemy like Gongyu Sarong. Otherwise, the Loyal and Righteous Alliance will lose its name in the entire rivers and lakes, and even become a laughing stock.

However, such a cruel and bloody punishment as the dismemberment of the corpses of five horses was not what she was willing to see.

Moreover, regarding this matter, Haoxing Mingrui also once asked Shui Xinying to persuade Xue Youyou.

The new emperor ascended the throne and implemented new policies, which included the abolition of certain excessively cruel punishments, such as Ling Chi and beheading.

Although the Loyal League no longer acts on the orders of the imperial court, it is still a subject of the Dayu Emperor, and it should abide by the laws of the imperial court, and no longer abuse lynching, especially to prevent any torture.

Xue Youyu even said that he accepted Haoxing Mingrui's persuasion.

In fact, she had already made plans to propose at the next meeting of the helmsmen that the rules of the covenant should be renegotiated and some of the too harsh punishments would be phased out.

Therefore, at this moment, when he heard the proposal of Wan Hengjiang, the law enforcement of the Criminal Hall, to carry out the punishment of dividing the body of Gongyu Sarong, Xue Youyou was very disagreeable from the bottom of his heart.

After a while, she slowly spoke: "What Wan Law Enforcement said is indeed true! For this Beirong assassin Gongyu Sarong, he must be publicly sentenced to death in order to show the northerners the inviolable power of my Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance!"

It's just that the punishment of the five horses is too cruel, and it really violates the chivalrous demeanor of my loyalty and righteousness alliance. This seat thinks that it is better to change it to beheading to show the public. ”

When Wan Hengjiang heard this, he immediately objected and said, "This is a mistake in the alliance leader's words! This Gongyu Sarong is the personal disciple of the Chiyang Sect Leader Duxiaoqiong, and he is also the brother of that traitor Gong Yan.

Whether it is Gongyu Sarong himself, or his master Duxiaoqiong and brother Gong Yan, they have all killed countless people in my Loyal and Righteous Alliance.

With so many blood feuds, if they can't get them back from Gongyu Sarong, how can we let those murdered disciples of the alliance rest in peace? How can we let their living relatives calm down the resentment in their hearts?"

The words of this law enforcement officer of the Torture Hall fell, and everyone standing in the hall echoed the voice, and even Xiubo, the director of the Flowing Water Hall, who had always supported Xue Youyou, secretly shook his head at her, signaling her, the leader of the alliance, to judge the situation and not raise any more objections, so as not to cause public anger.

Sighing secretly, Xue Youyou had to nod and said, "Since this is the case, there is no need to delay any longer." Immediately tie Gongyu Sarong to the outside of the hall, and at sunrise, he will be punished by dividing the corpse of five horses in public!"
