Zhang Zhong has been secretly eating a very special "supplement" since three years ago. It is said that it can prolong life and may re-grow the thing that was cut off. This supplement requires a very special kind of medicine - the blood of a baby boy under the age of two. It is easy to get a few children, but it is not so easy to drink the blood of children without interruption every day, not to mention that this kind of thing must not be leaked. Only a few cronies around Zhang Zhong knew about this matter, and Liu Yu and Yi Zhongren were two of them. Liu Yu has been with Zhang Zhong longer than Yi Zhongren, and Zhang Zhong also trusts him very much, while Yi Zhongren is strong in martial arts, cold in temperament, and has the backing of Concubine Ru behind him. Zhang Zhong trusts him. There is always a bit of dread, so Zhang Zhong left the matter of finding children to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu is more than heartfelt and lacks ingenuity. After Yi Zhongren's ability became stronger and stronger, Zhang Zhong gradually became dissatisfied with Liu Yu, just like the young son of King Yue. Yi Zhongren could think of using this child as a medicinal guide, but Liu Yu only wanted to cut the weeds. Can't he think of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots! Zhang Zhong shook his head again and again. Originally, he also wanted to cultivate a person who could be used to contain Yi Zhongren, but it seemed that it was difficult. However, if Yi Zhongren could think of using the son of King Yue to make medicine for him, his heart was no worse than Liu Yu's, and Zhang Zhong had concerns in his heart.
No matter how stupid Liu Yu is, he knows how stupid he is. He didn't care about being jealous anymore, and when he asked where Yi Zhongren was now, Liu Yu hurried over in a panic. Annoying Lord Dugong, he only wanted to acquit himself in the matter of King Yue, otherwise it would be really bad. Liu Yu kept wiping away the cold sweat, thinking of the look that Yi Zhongren gave him at the Yue Wang Mansion, he shivered.
In Hu'anwei's prison, Yi Zhongren sat on the throne of the soft chair, rested his head in one hand, and looked forward with a bit of laziness. Incompatible with it, three men were tied to the three punishment posts in front. The man in the middle was Huo Feng, who had just been arrested, and the other two were Huang Han and Xu Baicai, who had not escaped in time. In the stove, the soldering iron was already burning red, and the three burly men were naked and holding a whip in each hand. Huang Han and Xu Baicai's mouths were blocked by cloth balls, and Huo Feng, whose acupoints were also lit, glared at Yi Zhongren, eager to eat him.
Huang Han and Xu Baicai had a lot of welt marks on their bodies, and Yi Zhongren signaled to his men to remove the cloth balls from their mouths. As soon as their mouths were freed, the two who knew that they could not survive immediately scolded.
"Gundog! I have eight generations of you..."
"Whoosh!" Huo Feng groaned when he saw Yi Zhongren raise his hand.
Huang Han and Xu Baicai stopped scolding, and instead shouted in fear: "My lord! What's wrong with you, my lord!"
Yi Zhongren sat up straight, with a cold light in his eyes: "Let me hear your scolding again, and I'll put a needle in him." Huo Feng's left shoulder twitched when his right hand was retracted. Only then did the two discover that Yi Zhongren had a thread in his hand, and one end of the thread was a thin silver needle. Just now, the needle was directly inserted into Huo Feng's shoulder.
Huang Han's eyes were blood red: "Come to Grandpa if you have the ability! Grandpa is not afraid of you!"
"Whoosh!"
Yi Zhongren raised his hand again, and Huo Feng groaned again.
"Go on and scold." Yi Zhongren withdrew his hand, and a thin needle came out from Huo Feng's left shoulder. Huang Han didn't dare to scold him anymore, the seven-footed man was about to burst into tears because he had caused the prince to be stabbed by a needle.
"My lord! How are you, my lord!"
Huo Feng shook his head, asking them not to care, it was just a needle, it didn't hurt.
"King Yue," Yi Zhongren said, "if you don't want your subordinates to suffer, you can hire them. As long as you recognize them, I will give them a treat." Yi Zhongren looked at the needle and thread in his hand, "Your Highness should know That's my method."
"My lord, we are not afraid of death." Xu Baicai stared at Yi Zhongren and wanted to eat him.
Yi Zhongren raised his hand slightly, and the whips in the hands of the three criminal officers swayed.
"beat."
The whip fell, and Huo Feng almost clenched his teeth. Huang Han and Xu Baicai didn't want the prince to worry, so they bit their mouths and endured it hard. The pain of the whip falling on them was much lighter than they expected, nothing! If they can get out alive, they must slaughter this dog! Whip the corpse!
"Lord Qianhu!"
Yi Zhongren raised his hand and the whip stopped. The three criminals stepped aside. Liu Yu walked in embarrassedly, sweating all over. Yi Zhongren didn't stand up, but said with obvious dissatisfaction: "Where is Master Liu going? This case is handled by Master Liu and me. I have tried it for a long time and I can't see the shadow of Master Liu. Lord Dugong asked. Get up, what do you want me to do?"
Liu Yu said humbly: "Master Dugong has temporarily asked his ministers to come over, and made Master Qianhu wait for a long time."
"Is that so. I thought Lord Liu was going to Lord Dugong to sue me for 'unauthorized action'."
Liu Yu's face turned blue and white, embarrassed. Yi Zhongren turned his head: "Since Mr. Liu is here, let's start. Come on, please 'invite' King Yue and his two subordinates to the viewing platform."
"What are you doing! Yi Zhongren! You have wronged the lord, you must die!"
"Gag his mouth!"
"Have to uuuuuu..."
The people of Huanwei took the three people down, and then Yi Zhongren stood up and said to Liu Yu who lowered his head: "Master Liu is going with me, or is there another place?"
Liu Yu was so angry that he almost couldn't get up, and said in a muffled voice: "Of course, I went with the Lord Qianhu. Didn't the Lord Qianhu also say that, the Governor of this case will be handed over to you and me to hear it together. "
Yi Zhongren crossed Liu Yu and walked out with a half-smiling smile: "Let's go then. Master Liu, don't miss anyone on the way."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and swore that this revenge would not be avenged for a non-gentleman.
※
Huo Feng, Xu Baicai and Huang Han were taken to the platform. It is said to be a viewing platform, but it is the place where Huanwei handles criminals. The place is large and surrounded by high walls. If the prisoners handled by Huanwei are very important or the number of people is large, they will be brought here for execution. Sometimes, in order to act as a deterrent, they will also be interrogated here.
Huo Feng, Xu Baicai and Huang Han were tied up on the campus of the Guanyue Terrace of Nuo University, and the hot sun shone on their heads. The three important suspects were guarded by the minions of the surrounding Hu Anwei. Yi Zhongren sat on the viewing platform and looked down at the tiger trapped in the prison below, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth. Liu Yu sat under the head of Yi Zhongren, and Yi Zhongren's personal guard Dumb stood behind him. Mute has no name, just called Mute, with a burnt ugly face, which was rescued from the fire by Yi Zhongren four years ago. The other party is grateful for his life-saving grace, and has been following him to protect him. It is said to be protection, but in fact, it is more about serving tea and pouring water. Yi Zhongren's kung fu is profound and does not need protection. And the man who snatched Huo Feng's youngest son was dumb.
Huo Feng lowered his head and seemed to have accepted his fate. Huang Han and Xu Baicai were afraid that their words would annoy Yi Zhongren again and cause the prince to suffer, so they both lowered their heads and remained silent. Zhi's cry is always so annoying. In this hot weather, Huang Han and Xu Baicai thought that maybe it would be a good thing to be killed by the sun. However, the two were also a little puzzled. Yi Zhongren's methods were too gentle, and he only gave them a few whips, which was too different from this person's usual methods. Who is this guy tying them here for? Xu Baicai suddenly shuddered and looked up at Yi Zhongren, could it be said!
Xu Baicai thought of it, and Huo Feng naturally thought of it too. He knew what the Yizhong people wanted to do. He holds an army of 700,000 people. If he dies, the army of 700,000 people will naturally fall into the hands of others. But these 700,000 people are not so delicious. His generals left and right are not vegetarians. If he just died like this, his two generals will definitely rebel, so he can't die now, at least he won't die until he catches his two most powerful subordinates. Huo Feng sneered in his heart: Yi Zhongren, Yi Zhongren, this king will not give you this chance.
Yi Zhongren stood up, and Liu Yu immediately asked, "Master Qianhu?"
"I have a personal grievance with the King of Yue that needs to be settled." Leaving a sentence, Yi Zhongren flew down directly from the observation platform several feet high. Liu Yu sat back. Everyone knows the "private grievances" between Yi Zhong and Yue Wang, and Liu Yu is not surprised when he thinks of this person's personality that he will retaliate against.
Hearing the footsteps deliberately made by the other party, Huo Feng raised his head and his eyes were calm. After a while, his acupuncture points will be solved, and he can't wait to see the ridiculous faces of Yi Zhongren, Zhang Zhong, and Sun Jiyu's conspiracy. Once the news of his death reaches the border, Ruan Xingtian and He Jia will definitely rebel and avenge him. Because of his hesitation, he killed his family and the brothers who followed him to death. This time, he will not hesitate any more. Such a country, such an emperor, should have been destroyed long ago. Xing Tian was resourceful, He Jia was calm and steady, and he was relieved that the 700,000 brothers were handed over to them. In this world, there is no one who can compete with them, and they will definitely be able to avenge him.
Walking in front of Huo Feng, Yi Zhongren's eyes met Huo Feng's. Both wanted to poke a few holes in each other's bodies. Suddenly, Yi Zhongren shot. He punched Huo Feng in the abdomen, Huo Feng exhaled a painful breath, and immediately clenched his teeth to hold it back. Huang Han and Xu Baicai roared, "Yi Zhongren! You bastard!"
Yi Zhongren punched again, the two dared not scream, and struggled desperately, trying to break free from the restraints on their bodies to save the prince. Dumb flew down from the platform, and just a few feet in the air facing the two of them, the two of them stopped screaming, and were tapped for acupuncture points.
With his fist tightly pressed against Huo Feng's abdomen, Yi Zhongren's face almost touched Huo Feng's, and he whispered a cold voice in his ear: "You are a coward."
Huo Feng gritted his teeth, his whole body tense.
"Do you regret it? The prince of Yue, who holds 700,000 soldiers and horses, was so uselessly bullied by me, the eunuch in your mouth. You are not a coward, so what are you?"
Huo Feng's nails sank into his palms.
"I've always looked down on you, and now even more."
Another punch. The blue veins on Huo Feng's forehead were sticking out, his eye sockets were split open, and there was a roar that could not be spoken! Fist left, grabbing Huo Feng's bun instead, Yi Zhongren raised his head and continued to sneer in his ear: "You can't even protect your own wife and children, you coward and coward. You laugh at me. It's a eunuch, but you are not even a eunuch!"
"I am going to kill you!"
Huo Feng's acupuncture points were untied, and he opened his mouth to bite Yi Zhongren's ear, which was close at hand, but it was a pity that he was a step late. He was gasping for breath, his bloodthirsty eyes staring fiercely at the humiliating Yi Zhongren. Yi Zhongren raised his right hand, which was always clenched into a fist, and covered Huo Feng's mouth. Huo Feng's body trembled and his eyes stopped.
"If you want to kill me, you have to see if you have the ability."
Pressing his palm firmly on Huo Feng's mouth, Yi Zhongren's left hand loosened Huo Feng's bun and slowly stroked down his forehead, which seemed gentle but contained danger.
"Remember, what happened five years ago?" Yi Zhongren sneered: "The moon was very full that night, and the lord humiliated me in front of so many people. I said something to the lord at the time, and I only reminded it this morning. Your Majesty." He released his right hand covering Huo Feng's mouth, and Yi Zhongren stepped back slightly, while his left hand was still slowly stroking down Huo Feng's side, "Your Highness should know that I, Yi Zhongren, hold grudges very much, especially Yes, being so humiliated. You say, what should I do?"
Yi Zhongren's left hand touched the rope on Huo Feng's arm and continued down.
"Your Highness should have heard of my methods." Yi Zhongren touched Huo Feng's left shoulder with his right hand. On the viewing platform, Liu Yu saw Yi Zhongren stroking Huo Feng's body, with contempt and contempt in his eyes.
Huo Feng never spoke, he panted and stared at Yi Zhongren. Yi Zhongren's hands touched his body and finally stopped on the hands behind him.
"It seems to be fifteen today. I wonder if the moon tonight will be as round as it was that night."
"My lord, go all the way."
He tapped three times on Huo Feng's shoulder, and Yi Zhongren left Huo Feng's hand with his left hand and turned to leave. Huo Feng stared at his back with some kind of depression in his eyes.
"Do you understand the private grievances of Lord Qianhu?"
After Yi Zhongren jumped up, Liu Yu immediately asked flatteringly. Yi Zhongren sat down in his seat, staring at Huo Feng who lowered his head and spit out two words: "Temporarily."
Liu Yu's heart was filled with regret. He could see just now that Yi Zhongren was merciless when he hit the King of Yue with three punches. He originally thought that if Yi Zhongren accidentally killed the King of Yue, the Dugong would definitely blame him. But this Yizhong person has always been impeccable in his work, and it is too difficult to get hold of him. Liu Yu pursed his lips and told himself that he could not give up easily.
After watching for a while, Yi Zhongren asked the mute to guard him, and he went down to rest. Liu Yu also didn't want to suffer in this hot day. Although there was a shaded pavilion above his head, it would be hot to sit like this. When Yi Zhongren left, he naturally wouldn't stay any longer. There were only guards left on the platform, and Dumb watched it for a while, then jumped off the platform, removed the cloth balls from Huang Han and Xu Baicai's mouths, and then invited someone to feed them water. Before leaving, Yi Zhongren explained that they could not be allowed to die, so the guard did not hesitate and fed the three of them a bowl of water.
After they drank the water, Dumb returned to the platform and continued to watch them. Huang Han asked urgently in a low voice, "My lord, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Stop talking, save your energy." Huo Feng lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking, his hands tied behind him clenched tightly into fists. Huang Han thought that the prince was sad, so he didn't say anything. They all knew that this time there was no hope. Thinking of his family, Huang Han is not uncomfortable, he only hopes that his family can escape.
The cry of knowing is always accompanied by the hot sunshine. Every once in a while the mute called for someone to come and give them water. I hadn't eaten for almost a day, but fortunately I had water to drink, otherwise I would have been sunburned to death. Huo Feng's performance has always been calm, and he seems to have accepted his unchangeable fate. The sun gradually slanted westward, and Huang Han and Xu Baicai, who were dizzy and dizzy from the sun (hungry), let out a few breaths of hot air, and finally became cooler. Gradually, the sun sets and evening comes. Yi Zhong and Liu Yu returned to the viewing platform.
Seeing the three of them "dejected" tied there, Liu Yu asked, "Lord Qianhu, Lord Dugong asked them to lead Ruan Xingtian and He Jia out. They have been hungry for a day, do you want to…"
"I asked the mute to feed them water. They are all military generals, how can they survive a day."
"That's right. It's just..." Liu Yu looked at the three people, "Who knows when Ruan Xingtian and He Jia will come, in case they don't come, the King of Yue is starved to death, and we haven't got any solid evidence yet. , I'm afraid that Lord Governor will not be able to explain it to the emperor."
"Master Liu is saying that Lord Dugong arrested the wrong person?"
Liu Yu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no! It's just that the emperor ordered it. As slaves, we naturally have to share the emperor's worries and the governor's lord."
What Liu Yu thought was that before they caught Ruan Xingtian and He Jia, the King of Yue had to live, not to mention that they hadn't tortured the King of Yue to force him to admit his treason. Although they often ordered, arrested or even killed people behind the emperor's back, those people were not the emperor's younger brothers. For this younger brother, the emperor will definitely ask. Of course, it is best to grab the exact handle. Liu Yu wanted to use this to make the Duke look at him anew. Out of this consideration, Liu Yu would say to give the King of Yue something to eat. As for the other two, it doesn't matter.
"What Master Liu said also makes sense." Yi Zhongren glanced at the sky and said, "Hunger them for a while."
"Yes."
Thinking that Yi Zhongren touched the King of Yue for a long time during the day, Liu Yu couldn't help but ask: "What did Lord Qianhu look for on the King of Yue before? Maybe the minister can help."
Yi Zhongren glanced sideways, and Liu Yu immediately lowered his head. He said coldly: "Aren't we all waiting here for what I want to find from King Yue? Master Liu's eyes are too bad. Didn't you see that I had a needle in my hand?"
Liu Yu's body trembled, it turned out that Yi Zhongren was stabbing the King of Yue with a needle at that time! Thinking that Yizhong people were good at using needles, Liu Yu hurriedly said: "It's bad or bad. Lord Qianhu's needles are as thin as ox's hair, please forgive me for being clumsy."
Stop looking at Liu Yu's disgusting face, Yi Zhong said, "It's getting dark, I want them all to be smart."
"The minister will guard here in person." Liu Yu immediately volunteered. Yi Zhongren nodded, not arguing with him.
