The barbarian army had been stationed at the foot of Guanshan for some time, but there was no movement except for the great momentum of those days.

The mouth of the rift is guarded by the three seats of the Yin Retreat Division and the six divisions of the Yang Retreat Division, and the other end is guarded by a woman with a strange totem painted on her face.

There seems to be a consensus between the two sides.

There are always rogue horse bandits who are not afraid of death who look at the gap and go to Guanshan, wanting to scavenge some people's fat and people's ointment, with the first, there will be the second and the second. Everyone saw that the first one was fine, and they rushed to drill in.

But Guan Shan is famous for its pastures, and these livestock and poultry have been taken away by those who fled for their lives, except for these dilapidated and scattered earthen houses, that is, those few old men who don't know what to do. The thieves were empty, feeling uncomfortable, scolding grandma, and beating the old men again, which was regarded as going out.

"Today is a bad luck for labor and management, and you should look at the yellow calendar when you go out. A rough man in a flow of people said.

For several days in a row, such a good show was staged here, and even if the bones of a few old things were hard, they were beaten soft, and they shrunk in the quilt and could not come out. Let these bandits come to him.

Tonight's night is extraordinarily dark, so dark that it looks like a cat's eye, and I always feel that in a dark corner, there is a strange light shining from time to time.

A man strode towards the Jingchen Hall and was greeted by a group of patrolling soldiers.

"Your Highness. ”

The man was Zhu Zexi, and he nodded.

The leader was Han Wu, the head of the forbidden army, who saw that Zhu Zexi was still alone so late at night, and said, "The palace has been haunted in the past few days, and many young men and women have disappeared, and they don't know where to go. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness will pay more attention. Zhu Zexi said expressionlessly.

"The subordinates took their leave. ”

Zhu Zexi returned to Jingchen Palace, sent his subordinates, walked straight to the study, leaned on the agarwood chair, closed his eyes, and tapped his hand lightly on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

He opened his eyes suddenly, as if he had changed into a different person, and turned the inkstone on the table, only to hear a click.

The whole chair gradually turned, and when it stopped, it turned out to be a secret room.

The dim light of the fire suppressed his breathing and footsteps, and he casually picked up the torch on the side and lit it with the lamp, and slowly walked into the depths.

Until I saw a bronze man at the end, and when I talked about this bronze man, it was a bit of a source.

Zhu Zexi found a Tianzi craftsman to cast this eight-foot-tall, more than 300-kilogram hollow bronze figure, and ordered the imperial doctor to tattoo the acupuncture points for this bronze figure, which became what it is today.

If you think that he has a brain convulsion, in order to study medicine, then you are really very wrong, this bronze man is naturally to satisfy his only hobby - torturing people.

The walls around it were covered with all sorts of torture instruments, some of which were famous, some of which had never been seen before. But these iron tools that emit cold light make this damp chamber even more terrifying.

Zhu Zexi walked to the bronze man's side, and through the two holes in the bronze man's face, he seemed to be able to see a pair of frightened eyes constantly moving.

He took off the bronze man's face, revealing a miserable little white face, the girl was about fifteen or sixteen, and her appearance was delicate, and she had not yet taken off the girl's youth and immaturity, and her mouth was blocked by a white cloth, and she could only make a whimper.

Zhu Zexi pulled off the white cloth, the little maid was obviously frightened, and said tremblingly, "Your Royal Highness, please, please....... Put...... Spare the slave, slave....... Slave Maid ....... There is also a family at home waiting for the slave to feed, and the slave and the maid ......"

"Shhhh Zhu Zexi made a silent gesture, "Listen." ”

"What...... What?" said the little maid, in a trembling voice.

Puff, puff, puff.

"What are you listening to?"

Zhu Zexi asked.

Suddenly, he put his ear to the bronze man, and suddenly realized, "It turned out to be the sound of your heartbeat, are you afraid of the main hall?"

The little maid whispered, Slave ...... Slaves and maids don't. ”

"If not, how can your heart beat so fast. ”

"This hall knows, there must be cockroaches, girls of your age should be afraid of cockroaches, it's okay, let this hall help you solve it." ”

Zhu Zexi said.

The little maid was at a loss, and the fear of the unknown in her heart was a little more.

I saw that Zhu Zexi got a mouse out of nowhere and carried it in his hand, and the mouse was suspended in the air, squeaking and calling.

Zhu Zexi was very excited at the moment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "Don't be afraid, this hall is here to help you catch cockroaches." ”

Seeing Zhu Zexi approaching step by step, the little maid almost guessed what would happen next in her heart, and shouted, "No, don't!"

The rat was almost attached to the little maid's face, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the rat fell through the mouth with a few squeaks.

The little maid's expression was painful, and the hairy touch shook her delicate body, and then she realized that she was not even in the eye.

"Your Highness, I beg you, as long as you are willing to let go of the slave and maid, the slave and maid are willing to be cattle and horses!"

The little maid shouted with a crying voice, but the sound insulation effect of this secret room is good, and Zhu Zexi is not worried about her yelling.

He pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah, but the rat has already entered, but it's okay, let His Highness help you get it out." ”

"Thank you......"

Before the little maid finished thanking her, she saw Zhu Zexi carrying another snake, which was still spitting out letters, and there was a small bulge on its head, like a horn.

"Temple....... Your Highness. ”

"This snake is also a natural enemy of rats, don't worry, as long as the main hall puts this snake in it, keep it and help you get rid of that mouse. ”

She tried to open her mouth but it was as if something was choking her throat, and even if she opened her mouth wide, she couldn't make the slightest sound.

The cold, smooth touch traveled through her body, and she felt as if the furry thing was gone, leaving only the coldness.

Her lips grew purple, and this purple added some color to the whiteness.

God knows what kind of torture awaits her, it seems that the rumors are true, the seemingly harmless Highness in front of her, loves to torture people, and tortures people in different ways.

"You don't look good. Zhu Zexi said pretendedly, "In this way, His Royal Highness will help you prick the needle, there are acupuncture points on this bronze figure, and the palace also happens to try this batch of newly arrived silver needles." ”

The little maid was already delirious, but in the end she muttered something, "Qing....... Innocence ......."

Zhu Zexi finally heard it clearly, and said, "Innocence? Why, Your Highness ruined your innocence is not much better than those wild men outside, do you know how many women dream of wanting to stammer, Your Highness disdains it, today is your honor. But the gentleman said, don't say anything incivil, don't move if it's incivil, don't look at it, and besides, His Highness doesn't look at it, it's according to this bronze man, you can rest assured. ”

Zhu Zexi took out a pair of silver needles and roasted them on the fire, and then stabbed them violently at an acupuncture point.

The little maid snorted, and on her forehead, beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down her face.

"Just bear with it, just bear with it. Zhu Zexi's handsome appearance, coupled with this serious appearance, the little maid was in a trance for a moment, thinking that this highness was really kind to treat her.

However, in the next moment, a sharp pain struck, and Zhu Zexi inserted three in a row, which just corresponded to the mysterious triangle.

The little maidservant gritted her teeth and remained silent, for she knew that the man in front of her longed for her to yell, and the more heart-rending she shouted, the more excited he became.

Zhu Zexi started again and again, tied Yin Tao, and strung up clam beads.

The little maid saw that the blazing light in Zhu Zexi's eyes was gradually extinguished, thinking that she had survived the catastrophe, but she didn't know that there was even greater torture waiting for her.

Okay, you can bear this, I see if you can bear it next.

Zhu Zexi sighed, "It seems that this acupuncture therapy is not working." ”

"Don't be afraid, this temple is a good word, and it will definitely cure you today, and your complexion will be ruddy and shiny. ”

He turned and took a brazier, placed it under the bronze man, brought wood from the dark corners, and poured oil on it. He stood up, torch in hand, and threw it casually, and the fire was blazing. The face under the firelight was particularly distorted and excited.

The little maid felt the smooth touch on her body in a daze, and she was a little out of breath. The tail kept whistling at her delicate skin, no longer cold, but burning.

She gradually became a little sober, and her face was flushed from the heat. But he still didn't shout as Zhu Zexi wanted.

"You see, it's not very rosy now, but it's still almost meaningless. Zhu Zexi frowned, a little dissatisfied, "Your complexion is indeed red, but at first glance, it is too dry, dry, numb, not mellow at all." ”

Saying that, Zhu Zexi disappeared into the black, and when he reappeared, he carried a large bucket of water in his hand.

"Whew. He gasped, "Wait, the main hall will make you mellow in no time." ”

He poured the water down with his breath, and the cold water made a sizzling sound against the hot bronze man. There were also puffs of white smoke.

This is really two heavens of ice and fire, the little maid can no longer control herself, her emotions are broken, and she cries loudly.

The more she cried, the louder she became, and the curvature of the corners of Zhu Zexi's mouth unconsciously rose by three points, until the cry was hoarse, and then gradually subsided, and finally only a faint snort remained.

Zhu Zexi was no longer interested, looking at the bronze man in front of him, he suddenly couldn't raise the slightest interest, and felt that everything was boring, just like the loneliness after a happy life, a sense of emptiness hit him, occupying his body and mind. He was a little tired, and sat on the ground, just looking at the firelight, and watching the surroundings fall into the original silence again, into darkness and dampness.

After half a pillar of incense, he slowly got up, patted the dust, turned and left, and did not look at the bronze man again, nor did he care that there was a ripe figure in the bronze man, red and purple.

The rumor that the palace was haunted spread for a few days, and no one knew the truth, but among the maids and eunuchs, it was rumored that a servant girl who had practiced evil skills caught these people to suck essence in order to practice, and finally went mad and died.
