Chapter 70: The Boy in the Courtyard
85_85978The three people in the middle were covered in blood and had been forced to confess, but their tone was extremely stable, and they still did not disclose it.
When they saw the young Taoist priest enter, all three of them recognized the culprit who had been captured, and they all glared angrily.
If it weren't for this Taoist priest, how could he be defeated today?
Originally, he already had the upper hand, and when he saw that he was about to annihilate the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he didn't want this little Taoist priest to intervene sideways and kill the leader, so that the situation would be reversed. The rest had been killed, and all three of them had been captured and interrogated, tortured for an unknown number of years, and covered in blood.
The three of them were furious, but when they thought of the methods of this little Taoist priest, there was still a fear that could not be concealed in their anger.
"You don't have to look at me like that. Qin Xianyu looked at the three of them and said slowly: "Xiaodao didn't have anything to do with this matter, but a few people who blocked the road and ambushed me, regardless of whether it was good or bad, a crossbow arrow would shoot me first." The crossbow arrow shot through the carriage and pushed the trail and smashed through the side wall of the carriage, if it weren't for the trail's way to save his life, wouldn't he have lost his life in vain?"
The three of them looked at each other.
The crossbow arrows are clearly intended to shoot at the hidden old man in the Xiangfu convoy, who knew that you, the Taoist priest, were the scapegoat?
It's just that even if they knew that he was a Taoist priest, they wouldn't leave their hands, and when they encountered something that was just a knife to cut off, after all, he was walking with the Xiangfu convoy, so he had to kill him. The three of them know this well, and it is difficult to refute it, not to mention, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to justify.
But listening to what this young Taoist priest said, he was originally an outsider, and it was only because of that crossbow arrow that he shot out angrily.
The three of them couldn't help but feel sad in their hearts.
This ambush was supposed to be nine out of ten, but how did you know that you met such a young Taoist priest who was born out of thin air?
Qin Xianyu said: "I just want to see which heroes are so fierce, since a few of them are tight-lipped, it's not easy to force them." However, the three of them must have been hungry and tortured, and Xiaodao has ordered someone to cook something for you, barely enough to satisfy your hunger, and as for the rice and meat, I will order it later. ”
One person sneered: "You have such a good heart, but you poisoned it?"
Qin Xianyu said with a smile: "If you want to kill someone, you only need to pull out the long sword behind my back, why bother with poisoning?"
With that, the priest chuckled, lifted the curtain, and walked out.
One of the guards guarding the three inside sealed the inner door behind the curtain, cutting it off from outside sounds.
After a long time, Suri came in with a pot of vegetable soup.
Qin Xianyu pointed to the inside and said, "Send it in and give it to them." ”
Ye Qing added another sentence and said coldly: "If you don't eat it, you will be forced to pour it." ”
Su Li hurriedly responded and entered with vegetable soup.
Ye Qing had doubts in his heart, and asked respectfully: "I don't know what is the beauty of this pot of soup?"
Qin Xianyu smiled slightly: "This thing can't be eaten." ”
Ye Qing was slightly stunned.
Qin Xianyu said again: "It will be hungry if it eats." ”
Ye Qing was even more stunned.
Just hungry?
Torture to extract confessions can't make these three hard stubbles speak, and when they are hungry, can they be able to make them speak?
Qin Xianyu patted the hem of his clothes and said, "Naturally, they are so hungry that they speak." ”
......
"Do you think it's strange that the more you eat, the more hungry you get?"
Qin Xianyu looked at the three of them and said, "The more I eat, the more hungry I become, and I still have some diarrhea." ”
"But that's not all, after a while, you will be so hungry that your intestines grind each other, unbearable, and you want to eat everything when you look at it, so naturally you include yourself. ”
"You're going to be delirious with hunger, and then you're going to have an appetite when you look at raw meat, and you're going to get hungry for it, and you're going to look at yourself, and then you're going to eat your fingers and then your arms, little by little. ”
He said sentence by sentence, and everyone turned pale when he heard it, including Ye Qing.
As for the three hungry people, they were even more frightened, and they wanted to scold angrily, but they were hungry and weak.
"But it's too bloody and cruel, but it's not good. Qin Xianyu turned his head and asked, "Is the meat ready?"
Ye Qing is an old Jianghu, and said with interest: "We are well versed in hospitality, and we can't entertain with coarse tea and light rice, so we have sent people to cross the Huaishui to buy the fragrant rice that is famous south of Huaishui, which is famous all over the country, and it is difficult to compare with the rice north of Huaishui." It will take about two months to come and go, so please be patient for two months. ”
Two months of patience? The three of them almost fainted when they heard this.
"What about meat?"
"I have ordered the shopkeeper to kill the chickens, and I am going to give them to the three of them, so that they can satisfy their hunger. ”
"Be careful. ”
"This is naturally not to be lazy, I ordered the store to be careful, the chicken feathers should be pulled one by one, there can be no half of the trace, it is estimated that after dawn, the chicken feathers can be plucked, and the internal organs ...... begin to be removed."
The two sang and harmonized, which was extremely scary.
The three of them had been tortured before, and they were scarred, although they endured it and did not move, but after all, they were not beaten with iron, and the pain was unbearable, and it was already unbearable, and their hearts were already a little shaken. After eating something at this time, he was hungry and unbearable, his mind was not as clear as before, and under Qin Xianyu's seemingly true and false intimidation, his already wavering mind immediately collapsed, and then he heard a person say weakly: "I recruited ......"
Ye Qing was full of admiration, it was useless to torture people to extract confessions, but instead they made people hungry and confessed, this Qin Xiaodao Master's methods were really magical.
Qin Xianyu chuckled and walked out the door.
......
In the room.
Su Wenxiu sat on the chair, looking at the golden leaf, with a slight panic in her eyes.
The old man surnamed Liu leaned on the side of the bed and sighed: "Although the hundred-year-old cold grass has not been burned by the flames, it has been scalded by the high temperature, and it is slightly yellow, I don't know how much of the medicinal effect is left?"
The old man surnamed Liu, who was originally determined by Ye Qing to be in a coma for a few days, woke up in half a day.
Eight inches of internal strength, only one step away from the great master of martial arts, its vitality is even more amazing than Ye Qing thought.
The old man surnamed Liu sighed: "It's only because I failed to protect it that this hundred-year-old cold grass was damaged." I heard that the cold year grass needs to be carefully cultivated, and a cold year grass can only feed * years, so the ten-year-old cold year grass leaves are rare, but I don't know if I can find another one?"
Su Wenxiu smiled bitterly: "The hundred-year-old cold herb is a legendary medicinal material, and it is a great opportunity to meet it, where to find a piece again?" ”
Su Wenxiu sighed again, "This piece of 100-year-old cold year grass was still obtained from Shangguan's family, as for the one who used the 100-year-old cold year grass as a gift, it seems that he is a young doctor who has disappeared." ”
The old man surnamed Liu shook his head, suddenly pulled at the wound, and frowned.
Su Wenxiu said with concern: "Grandpa Liu, are you getting better?"
"Fortunately, I was vigilant, and although I was unprepared for a crossbow arrow behind me, I was vigilant and barely avoided it. The two crossbow arrows in the front and back were injured in two places, and the shoulder and waist each brought a piece of flesh and blood, which must be a serious injury and near death for ordinary people, but I have eight inches of internal strength, close to the great master of martial arts, strong vitality, no injury to the vital point, but not to the danger of life, however, I can no longer do it lightly. ”
The old man surnamed Liu couldn't help but say: "If it wasn't the little Taoist priest in the carriage at that time, but me, it is estimated that it would be really difficult to be spared." ”
"I heard from the young lady that after the old man was attacked, the little Taoist priest came back from the dead, killed several people in a row, and even the master of internal strength was difficult to defeat with a sword. In the end, he was able to resist the crossbow arrows head-on, and even dodge the crossbow arrows and cut one off at will. ”
"This kind of ability, I ask myself to cultivate within eight inches, and it is definitely difficult to achieve, he is still young, and he has the ability of such a great martial arts master, this matter is too unbelievable. ”
After a pause, the old man said again: "It's just that if he really has that kind of ability, how could he be knocked down by a horse and fall unconscious?" Ye Qing has also probed his roots and bones before, and he is indeed not a person who practices martial arts, and there is no trace of polishing his muscles and bones. ”
Su Wenxiu remembered the skills of the little Taoist priest today, and suddenly felt shocked, and said, "Isn't it like those characters in the Qin Heavenly Prison?"
"Cultivator?" the old man frowned slightly, lost in thought.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in. ”
It was Ye Qi who entered.
Su Wenxiu saw him and asked, "What can Commander Ye Qing ask?"
Ye Qi nodded and said: "The group of bandits who ambushed and attacked today are all from the martial arts, but they were bought with a lot of money or coerced, and they actually don't know much. Today's three living mouths were all caught by people, so they obeyed orders, and it was because the handle was in the hands of people that they endured the torture and did not dare to divulge it. However, just now it was finally interrogated, and the master of internal strength who fought hard with Ye Qing actually came here today, and the two crossbow carts were also transported by this person. ”
Thinking of the fact that the master of internal strength fought with Commander Ye Qing without winning or losing, and later gained the upper hand, if it weren't for Qin Xiaodao's action, the consequences would be unimaginable. Su Wenxiu hurriedly asked again: "What is the identity of the master of internal strength?"
Ye Qi shook his head and said: "Commander Ye Qing has seen it, but he doesn't know this master of internal strength, and this person doesn't seem to have much reputation in the martial arts. ”
"Expected. The old man surnamed Liu shook his head and said: "Since we can invite two divine power crossbows, the power must be not small, and it is naturally not difficult to dispatch internal strength masters." But it was strange that they only came to such a man in black with only an inch of strength. ”
"According to the old man, the internal strength is a higher character, that is, no matter how low-key he is, he is basically more or less famous in the martial arts. Therefore, most of the characters they dispatched were recruited with a lot of money or coercion, and they had little to do with the people behind them, and even this master of internal strength was only an inch of internal strength, completely famous, and could not find clues. ”
The old man surnamed Liu muttered: "I'm afraid that I can find more or less clues on the Divine Crossbow that is difficult to popularize in the two armies." ”
Ye Qi admired: "Liu Ye is wise, it was from those two ballistas that he got the clues. ”
Su Wenxiu asked, "What clue?"
Ye Qi said in a low voice: "According to those three people, when the transport crossbow truck arrived, there were traces of a Feiyan on it, but before the move, the Feiyan mark was polished clean. ”
"Yan Yunjun of the Li family?" Su Wenxiu covered her mouth slightly, revealing surprise.
The old man surnamed Liu frowned and was silent.
Ye Qi didn't dare to speak.
After a long time, after Su Wenxiu's heart was shocked, he calmed down, passed for a while, and said, "At that time, the Feiyan mark was just something they accidentally saw?
Ye Qi replied: "Judging from their tone, when the ballista was transported, it should have been the time when everyone gathered. Others don't know if they paid attention, but two of the three people saw the Feiyan mark. ”
"Transported all the way, not to erase the mark, but after being seen by everyone, I only remembered to erase the traces when I came to the ambush, how could there be such an omission?" Su Wenxiu frowned lightly and said: "If it is the Li family, it is too careless?"
The old man surnamed Liu smiled slightly: "Leaving traces of Feiyan, isn't it too obvious? With your intelligence, you can see through it at a glance." ”
"Whether it is the Li family or not, since it is related to them, it is the Li family. Su Wenxiu gritted his jade teeth and said: "If the other party really wants to frame the Li family after failure, and must also have a grudge against the Li family, then let the Li family investigate." ”
"The Prime Minister's line has suffered heavy losses, and it always has to find someone to compensate. ”
Su Wenxiu clenched the wooden box and said, "No matter what the truth is, let's keep this matter on the Li family's head for the time being, and after we go back, let them give an explanation to the Prime Minister's Mansion." After that, to find the real culprit, the Li family will find it themselves, and the Prime Minister's Mansion will only investigate in secret, and let the Li family compensate for the loss of the Prime Minister's Mansion first. ”
"Miss is right, the Li family is the only clue, so look for the Li family. The old man surnamed Liu smiled slightly: "Although Miss is a daughter, she has more and more courage when she was young." However, if it is really the Li family who is manipulating behind the scenes, it is time to make another plan. ”
"That's right. Su Wenxiu suddenly remembered something and asked, "When you came to report the time, those three didn't seem to show signs of letting go, why did they let go so quickly?"
"These three people have a handle in each other's hands, so they are extremely steady. However......" Ye Qi said with a respectful face: "It was Daoist Qin who made a move to make these three people speak immediately. ”
After speaking, Ye Qi explained Qin Xianyu's previous method of extorting a confession.
The old man surnamed Liu praised: "What a little Taoist priest with all kinds of means, seeing that he is young, his martial arts are high, he is not only familiar with medical pharmacology, but also knows the art of attacking the heart, I don't know what the origin is?"
Ye Qi said a few more words, and then retired.
Su Wenxiu asked Grandpa Liu to rest, and then he was about to return to his room, stood up, and happened to see a person walking into the courtyard.
The man was long and dressed in a robe.
Tonight, the moonlight was cold, and the young Taoist priest stood in the courtyard, bathed in the moonlight, and looked more and more pure and elegant.
He carried a long sword on his back, and he added to the spirit of heroism.
Su Wenxiu could see it.
Suddenly, the young Taoist priest pulled out a sword, and the void slashed into the air, as if the moonlight in the courtyard was divided into two.
In fact, it was a blood mosquito under the sword.
