Serica said disdainfully: "I only came here last night. I haven't even gone out the door of the tavern. I would like to hear it. What a heinous crime I have."
Liu Xin said coldly: "You intend to assassinate my Han Emperor."
Serica couldn't help shivering.
Liu Xin expected it well. Eight years. Serica has changed from an earl to a duke. And it is one of the nine elders in the elder's house. He is the master of the highest power in the Great Qin Empire.
The intelligence sent back by Joe Kama. Serica saw it all. The House of Elders also held two meetings for this purpose. But because of the restart of the Silk Road last year. Now not only silk can be bought in Rome. You can also buy more exquisite porcelain. Many elders feel that the matter has now been resolved. And the big man is too far away. There is no need to pay too much attention.
But Serica is an ambitious guy. He always felt that Dahan's civil strife was a good opportunity. I am more interested in Jokama’s plan to obtain information by opening a brothel. then. Serica chose more than twenty beautiful Daqin female slaves. Take it to Wuji City in person. He wants to see the situation here on the ground.
Because the two messengers sent to Rome left in the evening. So Serica did not see the content on that parchment. But after Serika arrived in Wuji city last night. Jokama has reported to him the information he learned first.
Serica has long known that Dahan is now split into the three major forces of Liu, Cao, and Yuan. And among the three. Liu Xin's side is the strongest. When he heard Qiao Kama talk about the news that Liu Xin came to the Western Regions by himself. Suddenly became excited. If you can take this opportunity to make Liu Xin an accident. Then there will be more chaos in Dahan. Perhaps Serica will be able to convince the other elders. Make the decision to expedite the big man.
This was just a sudden thought by Serica. Naturally, it was too late to rush back to Rome to discuss with the other elders. but. Jokama has been in the Western Regions for many years. I came up with many ideas. Including sending people to assassinate, pretending to be a horse bandit, intercepting and killing on the road. All were vetoed by Serica. In the end, Serica decided to reveal the news of Liu Xin's private conquest to the surrounding countries of the Western Regions. spread rumor. It was said that Liu Xin wanted to annex the surrounding countries in one fell swoop. Provoked the neighboring countries to fight against Liu Xin. If the nations can defeat Liu Xin. Perhaps they can find opportunities to carry out assassinations, interceptions and other means.
These are all things he discussed with Jokama in the secret room. Absolutely no third person knows. And Liu Xin said in one mouthful that he wanted to assassinate the Han Emperor. There is only one possibility. It's that Jokama has rebelled. This is what really surprised Serica.
The expression on Serica's face changed. Pretending to be calm and said: "You nonsense. When will I be against your emperor. And your emperor is thousands of miles away. How can I be against him? Don't let others just bite."
Liu Xin wanted to tell him. I am the Emperor of Han Dynasty. You just wanted to assassinate me with an epee. Don't you just want to assassinate the Emperor of Han? But seeing Serica looked embarrassed. Hearing his words flicker again. I feel that there is a ghost in his heart even more. I could not help but sneered: "Is it right? I will not just listen to one side. I will naturally let you confront each other. I just want to listen to you honestly. What is your name. Where is it from. What is your identity. What do you do for a living? ."
Serica's eyes rolled. Said: "In Xia Serica. Daqin civilians. This time I came to Wuji City to do business. Selling a few girls to the owner of this tavern."
"Snapped". Liu Xin patted the cases before him fiercely. Angrily scolded: "Humph. Nonsense. I don't think you can see the coffin or cry. Come here. Bring paper."
A guard has long presented a stack of papers. Liu Xin's face sank. Said: "What do you do with such good paper. Bring the paper for wiping your buttocks."
these years. With the efforts of the research institute. Paper is no longer just used for writing. Many varieties have also been derived. There are window paper, table paper, toilet paper, and packaging paper. Different paper prices are also worlds apart. but. Toilet paper should be the cheapest one. The guards don't know what Liu Xin wants toilet paper for now. Is he going to make it easier
These few words. The interpreter of the Military Mansion only turned the first half of the sentence. The latter did not talk about it. Serica didn't even know what Liu Xin was going to do. Just staring blankly at Liu Xin's anger there.
All items are in the big tent. The guards quickly brought in a pile of khaki paper. Serica didn't recognize these things. But Liu Xin smiled. Said: "Come here. Tie him up to the bench. Bring a basin of water."
Liu Xin has never been used to sitting on the floor. It is inconvenient to bring a chair to march in battle. I had to prepare a few stools. Now it comes in handy.
Several guards picked Selika up in a rush. Press down on the stool. The limbs are tied to the front and back legs of the stool. Serica except for the head. The other parts are already immobile. Liu Xin is still not satisfied. Pointed to Selika's head again. Said: "Fix this place too."
Liu Xin looked at Serica with a smile on his face. Slowly said: "Serica. If you feel that you can't stand it later, you can quickly explain it. If you hold on, even the king of heaven will not be able to save you."
Wait for the interpreter of the Military Mansion to finish this sentence. Liu Xin waved her hand. Said: "Take a piece of paper and put it in the water and soak it. Then stick it to his face."
Although the quality of toilet paper is not high. The water absorption is excellent. quickly. A wet khaki paper stuck to Selika's face. Serica exhaled hard. A big hole appeared in the paper. The thin wet paper couldn't cover Selika's eyes. Liu Xin saw a little disdain in his eyes. indeed. Serica still didn't understand what danger this could bring him.
Liu Xin is not anxious. Waved. Said: "Paste the second one."
Another piece of paper was pasted up. Serica couldn't breathe immediately. But no two. This piece of paper is also torn. Then the third and fourth pictures were pasted up again...
at last. Serica found that it took him longer and longer to break the paper. Breathing becomes more and more difficult. A trace of fear gradually appeared in his eyes.
This is already the ninth layer of paper pasted on his face. In other words, he has come back to the brink of death eight times. But this ninth time was a lot harder. Under the damp yellow paper. He exhales and inhales desperately with his mouth wide open. It's like a dying fish. But to no avail. This time. Selika finally understood how close Death was to him. He wanted to shout loudly. There was no sound.
Under Serica's unremitting efforts. A small hole was broken in the ninth layer of yellow paper. A hint of fresh air floated in. Serica breathed greedily. suddenly. The guard picked up the tenth piece of yellow paper and smeared it on his face.
Celica finally collapsed. Yelled: "I'll say it all. Don't kill me."
His voice just fell. The tenth piece of yellow paper has been stuck on his face. He opened his mouth again. Breathe desperately. This time. He didn't put too much effort into it. The ten pieces of paper stuck on his face were all uncovered at once.
Serikaxixue's whole body softened. There was warmth between the legs. He actually peeed his pants. This is for a nobleman. It's a shame. But Serica can't take care of much now. Living is better than anything else.
Looking at Selika who was breathing fresh air. Liu Xin smiled contemptuously. Want to torture someone. He has a way. It's just that he doesn't want to delay it too long. Liu Xin patiently waited for Selika's face to turn from white to red. Then he said: "Let's talk about it. What kind of identity are you?"
This is what Liu Xin cares most about. He wanted to know whether Serica was now an earl or had been promoted. Different titles. The secrets he knows will also be different.
Selika's breathing has gradually returned to normal. But he escaped from the dead. Still habitually opened his mouth wide. Gasping for breath, he said, "My lord. Before answering your question. I want to ask a question first."
Liu Xin nodded. Said: "Let him ask."
Serica hesitated. Asked: "If I don't explain. Would you let them keep covering that wet thing on my face."
Liu Xin said without hesitation: "Yes. Until it kills you."
Serica couldn't help shivering. He was not sure just now that Liu Xin would kill him. The heart has been fighting between heaven and man. If Liu Xin didn't want to kill him. He confessed all the secrets. That would be silly. Hear Liu Xin's affirmative answer. Serica was relieved instead. One-to-one will be one's own identity. The purpose of coming to Urumqi is the city. All said it. Then he asked: "My lord. Can you tell me. How did you know what I discussed with Jokama. Did he explain everything."
Liu Xin laughed loudly and said: "Qiao Kama hasn't explained it. I haven't got the report yet. But I can tell you one thing. I am the emperor of the big man. Just now you stabbed me with an epee. Didn't you want to assassinate the emperor of the big man? ."
At this time. The interpreter at the Military Mansion was taken aback first. He hurriedly bowed his hand to Liu Xin: "Your Majesty. The villain doesn't know..."
Liu Xin waved her hand. Said: "The person who doesn't know is not guilty. I don't blame you. You tell him first."
Serica knew that the young Han man in front of him was actually the emperor of the big man. Suddenly petrified. The wide open mouth couldn't close for a while.
Liu Xin ignored him. Waved. Said: "Break off his hand muscles and hamstrings. Put on shackles. Immediately take him to Chang'an."
Now that I know the identity of Serica. Of course Liu Xin would not hand him over to Sister Kleia now. Keeping him should be even more useful. Pick off Serica's hamstrings and hamstrings. The approach is a bit cruel. But when he treated Kleia's parents. Why can't it be vicious. Moreover. It is thousands of miles away from Wujicheng to Chang'an. Who knows what will happen on the road. Pick off his hamstrings and hamstrings. Make him disabled. He wants to escape again. It's a lot more difficult. but. Selika's hand muscles had been severed by Liu Xin's flying knife just now. Now I save a lot of things about guarding.
